Chapter Thirty-Six: Tale of Dark Dan

The heroes, mystics, and demons all started running toward the wall and fence. An energy ball from the Black Knight destroyed a large part of the fence and allowed them too to keep running uninterrupted.

Siren turned back as he got the gnome over the wall. He and Phantom saw that it was just them, the Black Knight, witch, and the banshee queen left on this side of the wall.

"Wing of bat and raven's eye, lift me up me up into the sky," the witch cast.

She levitated up and over the wall. The Black Knight followed by shimmering to the other side. Shimmering was one of the ways that demons get around. They all had their own ways that were different for each species of demon. Most demons would shimmer, which was basically their bodies vanishing while looking like they were rippling as if water that a rock was dropped into. Then there are those like smoking or flaming out, which was a demon teleporting through turning into smoke or fire. But only demons like the Sea Hag and killer shark demon could use water. Just as few demons use electricity or lightning to get around. And only the source of all evil's personal assassin is known to travel using wind.

More powerful demons take different travel routes. Those like the demonic seer an oracle can vanish as if turning invisible but can show just their eyes when appearing somewhere else like the Cheshire Cat leaves behind his smile. Some demons fade out, which is like they vanish almost like when a movie fades to black. Some demons are obvious with how they travel based on what they are. Like shadow demons travel through shadows, Grimlocks use underground tunnels, and vampiric demons turn into a bat.

"Let's go, your highness," White called to the banshee queen.

But the white-haired demon was not done with the agents just yet. She took in a deep breath. Recognizing the signs, Siren covered his ears. Her scream might not kill him, but banshees and sirens have never mixed well in the past.

The banshee queen let out a giant scream. His eyes glowing gold, Siren used his powers to make sure that the sound did not go any further than where they were. The agents all first covered their ears, but it soon got to the point where they were covering their faces as blood seeped through their hands as if they were crying blood.

Having had enough of the sight, he music swirled himself and the banshee queen away from the agents, cutting off her scream.

They ended up in the woods, close to the team as well as the other mystics and demons. And boy was that banshee mad over not being able to complete her kill plus a siren using his powers on her.

"How dare you do that," she yelled at him.

"Just because I helped save you does not mean I have let go of my morals," White glared at her.

"Those pathetic mortals experimented on us and you want to let them live," the banshee queen growled. "You should have let me kill them."

"My species may have that awful myth about us being cannibals, but that does not mean I condone killing," White said.

"We're demons," the Grimlock growled. "You can't expect us to just not kill mortals. It's in our nature."

"It's better to all get away with our lives than it is to kill those conspiracy theorist crazies," the nymph says.

"Even you can agree that they deserve to die for what they did to us," The Black Knight crosses his arms.

"I'm not saying that they are not evil, but I am a nymph," the nymph reminded. "My job is to protect nature, not take the lives of mortals. The most I have done is sabotage construction equipment when they try to take down a forest."
