Revolution Start
Spoiler for Blood That Flows - Revolution 2:
Arashi's eyes widened when he heard Nove call that word out. His mother and sister had drilled him for years about Mazoku. Most weren't very nice beings to humans, since they needed to draw upon negative emotions to survive.
He may have been wrong, since he sometimes fell asleep during the lectures that he was given about them.
Ixpellia stepped in front of Arashi and narrowed her eyes at the oncoming creatures. "I take it that these things are unpleasant?"
"You could call them demons." Arashi muttered as a red sphere with golden flecks formed in his hand. "I think mom said something about them being immune to normal magic and weapons."
"Gyhahahahahaha!" A creature that looked like an unholy cross of spider and monkey leapt at them. "Your mother's smart, kid, too bad you're not as smart!" It blinked as Ixpellia threw a knife right at its face. "Ha ha! Fool!" Opening its mouth, it swallowed the knife whole. "See how useless it is, and now I... I..." It blinked and looked down as where its stomach area would be started to sizzle. "What the?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," Ixpellia grinned as she flicked her wrist and many more knives appeared in her hand, "I thought to use some Holy-imbued weapons against you. I hope you don't mind."
"You... You little..." The monkey spider hissed as it forced the weapon out of its stomach and onto the ground. "How dare..?" It groaned and twitched as it looked at Ixpellia and Arashi. "Well, this sucks."
Ixpellia grinned at it. "Yep."
"Well then..." The monkey-spider grinned and Ixpellia and Arashi both stared as several copies of it seemed to form out of thin air. "Can you handle eight of me?!" They all said at the same time and rushed forward.
Ixpellia narrowed her eyes. "Fine. Arashi, use your magic to cover me." She ignored Arashi's protest and sent out several blades in front of her and grimaced as the demonic creatures seemed to disappear and reappear, causing the blades to miss them.
"I'm not that good with magic!" Arashi protested, but still threw a gold-flecked fireball at one that almost grabbed Ixpellia.
"Ha!" The Mazoku laughed as the flames washed over its body. "You think that you can hurt me with..." It trembled and fell to the ground, screaming in pain. "THAT... IMPOSSIBLE! URRGH!" Growling, it glanced up and glared at Arashi. "KILL THEM! DON'T LET ANY SURVIVE!"
Ixpellia tensed as the Mazoku started to circle them. This wasn't going to be good.

Corona let out a yelp as a gout of flame erupted from the fingertip of the Mazoku that had chosen her as an attack target. "Brunzel," she whimpered to her device, which looked more like a dagger than a rose in its activated form, "call it up."
"I have to admit," the Mazoku that she was facing seemed to purr at her, "that outfit is so cute on you. Though, I think you'd look better with blue than black and white like you've got." The Mazoku nodded as it looked over Corona's outfit, which had a black top, sleeves and fingerless gloves, but somehow left the shoulders bare, and a white, flowing dress around her legs. "Though, if you're going to..." The Mazoku trailed off as a giant stone creature formed behind Corona. "Oooh! You can summon Golems, huh?"
Corona gulped as the Mazoku grinned at her. Why did she not like that grin?
"Well then, let's PLAY!" The Mazoku smirked and extended its arm to grab the Golem's head. "I mean, really, a normal stone golem? You'd have better luck putting out a volcano by spitting into it."
Corona's eyes widened as the Mazoku crushed the head of her Golem easily. "No way..."
The Mazoku grinned and turned to face her. "See? So easy. Now then, how about we see if your head is tougher than the Golem's head, hmm?" It slowly slinked up towards Corona, ignoring how the young girl was raising that weird dagger in her hand.
Corona pointed her device at the Mazoku. "Rocket Punch!"
The Mazoku blinked a few times before turning and gaping as a spinning, flying fist slammed into its body and sent it flying away from Corona.
"Thanks Goliath." Corona let out a sigh of relief as she reformed her Golem's head.
"My, my, my..." Corona's eyes widened as she felt the Mazoku's hand on her chin. "Such an attack from someone like you. Impressive, but..." Corona started to gag as that hand grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up, squeezing tightly and slowly crushing the young girl's windpipe, "futility, thy name is humans." Laughing as Corona grabbed at the hand slowly killing her, the Mazoku started swinging her back and forth. "You're so cute though, maybe I'll keep your body as a keepsake. Yes, a little doll for me to play with."
Corona couldn't answer as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and black spots formed around her vision.
"Oh, dying so soon?" The Mazoku chuckled and narrowed its eyes. "Well then, you were a fun little," the Mazoku jumped back, still holding onto Corona as the Golem punched at her. "Oh, you," pointing a finger at the Golem, the Mazoku smirked as the thing vibrated and then shattered into a multitude of pieces. "Nice try with your cute toy, but now, you need to die."
Corona could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She was going to die? Like this? It wasn't fair!
The Mazoku chuckled again and held Corona's body away from its body. "Well then, time to..." Several yellow shots ripped through the air, blasting through the Mazoku's arm until it was detached from the main body. "What the?!" The Mazoku turned, only to see a red and blue blur suddenly race through and grab Corona, who was on the ground, coughing hard. "Who the hell?"
"Nove Nakajima." The blur said as it stopped, revealing that redheaded girl from before.
Corona continued to cough as air was forced through her abused throat. "N..ove?"
"Hang on," Nove said as she activated her Airliner and took off, "we're not in any sort of position to fight back right now."
Corona could only nod. "Where..."
"We'll get to them!" Nove yelled, then cursed as she saw Vivio and Einhart fighting against three Mazoku. "Hang on, we're going to give them some support."

Gram watched, slightly bored as those humans fought back against his scouting team. It wasn't too impressive, though he found those redheads to have some interesting tricks at least. "That's it, I think it's time to step in." Smirking, he bent space and took one step forward, appearing just in front of the dark haired girl with a ribbon on the top of her head. "You, what is your name?"
"Rio Westley," the girl said as she jumped back and grabbed a chunk of the ground and lifted it up, tearing out a giant rock in the process.
"Not bad." Gram nodded to her, held up one hand and snapped his fingers, causing the rock to shatter into pebbles. "But, I'm afraid, I just wanted to know who it was that I'm going to kill."
Rio's eyes widened and the next thing she knew, Gram was in front of her, picking her up by her outfit and smirking. "What? Going to use me as a hostage?"
"Rio!" Gram turned to see that blonde with two colored eyes look at them in fear.
"Stop!" Gram ordered his minions. "That's enough of that." He smirked as they stepped back and the kids were able to gather together. "Now then, about my master's toys..." He sent a mental command to the Mazoku around him to keep those humans from getting anywhere near him.
"I wouldn't tell you anything about Amitie and Kyrie!" Nove growled at him. "Now let Rio go!"
Gram gave her an amused look, before sighing dramatically. "Fine." He let go of Rio, who fell to the ground. Her eyes widened in shock and delight, as did that blonde haired girl's eyes. Gram grinned evilly as Rio's feet were mere centimeters from touching the ground and pointed an open palm at Rio.
"What?" Rio's eyes widened as she felt a tremendous energy build-up. A second later she let out a cry as something hot and painful tore through her stomach area.
"Oh dear." Gram grinned as Rio stumbled backwards, clutching at her upper stomach. "That had to hurt."
"RIO!" The humans all cried out at once and Gram just pointed at the injured girl, blasting her with a purple blast that sent her flying backwards, parallel to the ground.
"Oh dear, that must hurt." Gram smirked, "especially since there's that cliff I just knocked her over. Oh well." He snapped his fingers and a spell array formed in mid air. It was just a simple circle with some runes etched around the edges of it. The fear he felt from the girl as the spell fired several dozen bolts of magical death down on her was just delicious.
When he heard a splash from below and the array, Gram turned to face the humans and grinned at them while holding up one hand and flexing his fingers. "Now then, perhaps you'll be more willing to talk? Or should I kill another one of your friends?"
Nove stared at the Mazoku as he grinned at her, she couldn't find her breath, she could barely feel anything other than the cold block of ice her blood had turned into. "R...Rio..."
"Oh," Gram's eyes were full of amusement, "is that the first time a friend of yours has died? So, just tell me what I wish to know and no one else has to die." He pointed a finger at them lazily, "or should I kill another of your friends first?"
The ice in her veins cleared instantly and Nove pressed something on her arm gauntlet. "Everyone, get ready to run." She said calmly as she narrowed her eyes. She didn't know what good it would do to run away, but they couldn't win, not like this. None of them had any weapons or spells that could deal with a Mazoku like this.
"And where are we going to run?" Arashi growled at her, wishing he could do different types of magic at that moment. Or at least be able to use his Chaos magic properly, since all he seemed to be able to do with it was generate random effects, allow him to teleport if he knew where he was going, and that was about it.
"I don't know, we're just going to run." Nove narrowed her eyes at the smirking Mazoku and pointed her Gun Knuckle at him. "I don't know if this will be any good, but..." A thick green gas was blasted out in front of Nove, quickly covering the Mazoku. Turning around, she grabbed Corona, who had gone into a state of shock, Arashi and Ixpellia before activating her Airliner and rushing off. "Vivio! Einhart! Let's go!"
"Right!" They nodded, rushing after her. They had fought these things, and none of them had the magic needed to fight back. Vivio knew Black magic, but, the spells she knew wasn't that good. After all, Blast Ash and Disfang didn't seem to do anything against these creatures and she couldn't call up the Nemesis Breaker for some reason.
Gram frowned as he looked at the green gas. "What is this?" For some reason, even his ability to see the mystical wasn't penetrating it. As it got closer to him, he touched it and his frown turned into a scowl.
The Mazoku around him started to scream in pain and Gram found his own hand starting to, amazingly enough, blister as if he was human and had a harsh chemical poured over his hand. "Impossible." Snapping his fingers, a gust of wind blew the gas away and he got his first look at his minions.
Twitching, Gram growled for a moment before calming down. While his minions were hurting badly, none of them were dead, not yet. "Interesting." He would need to think on these matters. "Pull yourselves back together. We're heading back to base."
As he faded, Gram wondered just who this Nove Nakajima was, and how she developed a weapon that could hurt Mazoku so badly. 'Well,' he corrected himself a moment later, 'low level Mazoku.' He suspected that even mid-level Mazoku would be in pain from that gas. But something like him? A General? It was only enough to make his metaphysical skin blister.
"Master..." He turned to one of the Mazoku and sighed, wishing that they had at least taken on genders, it would be much easier to remember them if they were male or female. "Are we heading back to that human kingdom?"
"Yes... Ruvinagald." Gram smirked, glad that he and his minions could use it as a base for their stay on this world.
