Now back to our story....
As the group mixed with arch angels demons halflings and Lucifer in the middle stood talking the air started to take on a shimmering rainbow effect and breathing for the halflings was getting harder and harder.
When Pan collapsed the others in the group realized the difference in the air as Joset and Kia began to fall from the gas that was being pumped in. The arch angles put gas mask on the fallen halflings then the three still standing, then Lucifer started to shout orders to the arch angels and demons.
"Dont stand there looking stupid we know what this is, our broken father isnt going to defeat us this easily. Cover all the vents thats how its getting in. Tannin go see to the others make sure theyre all still alive." Lucifer walked up to Tannin looked her right in the eye "stay alive my pet, I have need of you." he reached out and grabbed her leather corset top and yanked her to him "your a demon, my favorite little demon one scratch and ill have to punish you Tannin... you know how i enjoy that." as the tint female demon slipped out of the room Lucifer realized he had shown this whole group his weakness but he had to trust them with her life plus his pet was quite hard to kill.
As the world stopped spinning in circles around her Kia cought the very end of Lucifer and the female demons chat "my favorite little demon one scratch and ill have to punish you Tannin". Kia looked at the little demon running off she was dressed like the charaters in Pan's favorite TV show Once Upon A Time when theyre in the enchanted forrest, Kia had a funny thought that was so out of place at that moment wheres the red cape? Tannin looked just like Red/Ruby she actually considered checking google to see if the actress had passed... till she realized the situation going on all around her.
Aiden saw Kia watching the female demon and wondered what she was thinking she looked star struck he was truly worried this gas had gotten to her. He was afraid she would chase her down for an autograph, if his Kia could stand she may just have done that. Aiden ran over to check on her "Kia whats going on in that head of yours?"
She looked at him confusion on her face "Was that Meghan Ory?"
"Kia I have no clue who that is Lucifer called her Tannin tho. Stay down till we get this sorted little doll, if you can make your way to Joset and Pan. Pan was the first to go down and considering how strong this gas is im worried. Keep your head down. nobody has made theyre way in as of yet and considering the warding here i dont think they will but i want you safe."
All around the room Kia saw demons and arch angels working in unison she had a moment of true clarity her body was flooded with strength. She was connected to someone not just Aiden somebody familiar to her a piece of her. Just then memories of her human life a sister a twin sister, theyre parents death, men breaking in they're home taking everything and selling them to slavers, her sisters death, then loneliness years upon years of it. Kia felt like she had been through a storm, in that momentary connection she had unlocked something no Guardian ever had she knew her past her human past she had never commited a great sin to cause her to be rejected by the gates. Everybit of this was complete and utter bullshit, if the other guardians knew the ones still loyal to God they would riot and go to war by they're side.
Kia had to tell them and she already had a plan on the how to of it all.
