Chapter 28 - The Daemons of Slaanesh!  

{picture} 

 Within the realm of Slaanesh, you will not find guards that walk his hallowed halls, for why would a princess that has reached pure perfection ever need to fear… why would someone or something ever want to hurt such a being… such perfection? Instead, what decorates her halls, are paintings or statues of the most lavish kind… After all… greed is its own excess! 

 

If the road paved in gold isn't enough to stop, you… then what about the scores of tables filled with the most exquisite meals for any race… where wine and beer are of the perfect quality… a party that never stops… a feast that never sleeps… 

 

But if you can't stomach the excess of food… then why not get a taste of something more bodily… something more primal… the taste of sense… this is where everything to that you touch, smell, or feel… is beyond your normal limits! A place where happiness abounds by all who are 'loved'... 

 

But if you find yourself 'unloved' by excess or just not interested, then there's still the excess of achievement! Or adoration… but if you're not hottie for your hard work, or like being praised by millions or billions of life forms… then why not lose yourself in the excess of repose… after all death is the best kind of repose! 

 

 HAHA!... But with all seriousness should one make it through all kinds of worldly excess… then you will arrive at 'his' palaces… a place of pure pleasure! Places… where the mighty space marines… cough I mean his angels…fail to hold back their own urges… for when one finally sees perfection… well… let us just say… there isn't a perfect word to describe such a being… such a GOD! Though her thirst is unquenchable… May all souls join together with her! To finally be part of something…perfect!

As sparks flickered like little lights in a train cart that was bathed in a red glow that symbolized a warning! Though a warning, it was all too soon overshadowed by the sound of rushing winds that overtook its alarming noise! In a shaking cart; thrown into an ashy sky, surrounded by plains… lying in wait was a pink-skin demon with a perverted tongue and crab claws for hands! 

 

A tongue that swiveled like a gooey sandpaper mess! While it drew in its drooling substance, he took a right swing shattering Molly's shield into a crumbled stone! As it crumbled in her arms, she plastered her mace against the demon's fiendish face! As its face took the blow in a perverted smile, it used its raptor-like feet to crush Molly's chest armor in! Sending her to the back of the cart! 

 

With a mouth full of blood, Molly forced her body to quickly move out of the way, as the demon charged his claw down where she was! With a perverted growl and a claw stuck in metal sparks, Molly took this time to roll over a chain blade! With a blade in one hand and a mace in another, Molly barrelled down her mace for another strike! 

 

But as her mace came down onto the back of the demon, the demon turned its head a full 180 degrees! Its black beady eyes stared right into hers… And at that moment… the demon twisted its free claw arm at an impossible angle! With joints contorting and limbs popping, its free claw grabbed hold of Molly's mace, as it sent its tongue in an attempt to strangle her! 

 

However, instead of strangling her throat as it had wished, the demon caught the chain blade in the rails! The moment it did was the moment Molly hit the switch! Turning the blade on and mincing the demon tortures pleasure tool! It's disgusting juices splatting all over Molly's cute face, while it showered in dishonor the weapons of the sisters… 

 

With a cry of pleasure at the pain, the demon clamped down hard enough to rip Molly's mace in two! But the sudden shock distracted the demon, As Molly tried to cut the demon down the shoulder! However, to Molly disdained, the demon pulled out his arm that was trapped and made a swing! Ducking quickly to dodge the swiveled swing, Molly slid to one knee and chained her blade through the demon's left arm that once held her mace! 

 

Roaring in excitement, in the form of pure ecstasy, the demon kept on pushing! Swinging its claw arm in wild abandonment! It's clumsy by powerful blows, leaving scars and exposed metal to ruin! And turning sitting weapons into useless junk! The demon in all its capacity…was lost its excess! 

 

But Molly…. was calm in her excess… for her mind was filled with the emptiness of the sea, turbulent free, was her emotions as she dodges the demon's attacks… and with each dodge or parry, she struck back with her chain blade, rendering the demon flesh down every which way! But each strike wasn't deep enough… not deadly enough… 

 

With each wound inflicted, the demon would open its spiral mouth, filled with circular teeth like a grinder, and laugh and moan at the pain! With black blood pouring from injuries, the demon laughed as it finally got hold of Molly's weapon! With a clamping noise and a shattering gaze, the chain blade in Molly's hand burst into two! 

 

With another creepy laugh, the demon thought it had won, when Molly used the broken blade, like a stubby dagger, and slammed it into the neck of the demon! The broken saw blade gave it last to dig halfway into the demon's throat before finally dying… but even with blood draining out its mouth like a river, the demon would not die! 

 

The demon then turned suddenly in an attempt to skewer Molly in the side, but seeing the attack coming, Molly took a single step back! A single step that saved her life! For as her back hit the wall of the train cart, the demon attack tore her chest armor in half by the gut! Leaving only a flesh wound across her stomach! 

 

Knowing his attack wasn't fatal, the demon rushed its head forward with its mouth open and teeth ready to dig into Molly's soft flesh! But too close to dodge, Molly quickly raised her left arm and shoved it into the demon's mouth sending her out of her quiet deposition! The demon then gladly accepted the meat, as his teeth sunk through the armor made of ceramite! 

 

Molly screams as she hears the sounds of crushing bones! Her screams mixed with the taste of first blood, filled the demon with vigor and lust! With rapey eyes, the demon lost itself in its lower reigns, and bit down harder on Molly's arm to enjoy the taste of her blood! But the second it did, Molly noticed through the blink of red light, a chain axe by her side! 

 

As if instinct had guided her, Molly then slammed the axe down on the broken chain hilt that stuck out of the demon's neck! The sudden shock caused the demon to spit out some of Molly's blood onto the floor! As the broken hilt reached deeper through its neck, the demon fell to one knee by the force of Molly's feverous rage! 

 

As the demon was on its knees, it tried to use its claw to swipe at Molly, but before it could even move an inch, Molly's chain axe roared to life! With its turning blades, Molly nailed the broken hilt in the demon's neck all the way through! Cutting and severing the demon head from its body! 

 

As the demon's body lay there twitching like a dead fish, black blood oozing from its corpse, Molly sank to her feet as she held her bleeding arm! With gritted teeth, Molly began searching in the dim lights for a first-aid kit, when all the lights suddenly turned on and the alarm finally silent… 

 

[about damn time…Layla…] said Molly to herself as she sat down to mend her bleeds. 

 

A few moments earlier: 

 

As Layla stared down her blade, it glowed in a soft yellow light that hummed a sweet tune… like that of a church song… but that was only half of the blade! The other half could not be fooled! The half that showed the user's true inner heart… what was once a shiny mirror, is now pitch black like an ink spray! It glowed in an ominous reddish-black color that complemented its lighter side. 

 

Layla didn't mind it though; she knew where that half came from… And had expected the fact that the artifact in her hand would never accept her as it did for Alicia Dominica… but that was fine, as no one in 40k could ever measure up to her! 

 

[So, this is the blade Admonition? Interesting… I can feel its gaze… so tell me blade what do you see when you look at me?.] said Miss A as she stared at it. 

 [...] 

 

[I see…] said Miss A as she looked at what the blade perceived to be her inner self! 

 

The blade showed her a dark and terrible color, so deep was the void… and cold… and lonely…. And filled with an insatiable hunger! Scoffing at the vision, Miss A went back to pay attention to the uninvited guest, but if she had looked deeper into the sword… she would have noticed a very small faint light… like that of a firefly… hidden deep in that bottomless ocean she called a soul…but it was there… 

 

 

As Layla closed her eyes, the demon known as Obed cut his way in! Where, one eye showed his scared human mind, and the other was but a demonic black, red eye! That grew to replace his robotic eye! With half a face with a smile, the other half frightened like a scared puppy, Obed roared as tubes burst out the back of his head, and what was left of his skin turned greyish purple white! As the shape of his head changed, long bony horns took up their places! All this happened in a fraction of a second as Obed charged at Layla! 

 

 

As Obed metal claw came in for a straight jab, Layla tested her sword strength against his claws! But the strike was too heavy for Layla to bear at her feet! She was then thrown to the opposite end of the train! Seeing his prey get sent flying, Obed, demonic half laughed, until it noticed a huge crack in its metal claw! Annoyed, the demon soaked up more chaos energy and willed its fleshy prison to grow red bat wings! While shattering his crab claws for something with more appendages! 

 

As Layla spat out a few drops of blood, Miss A asked: 

 

[Dear me… so this is the power of a demon of this so-called chaos god 'Slaanesh'! Umm… call me unimpressed! It's so weak! Tsk, tsk… Layla next time don't just focus all your energy on your weapon! This 'demon' should be easy for you to kill! It hasn't even finished taking over its human host yet! Listen, Layla, do you want my help? And I mean other than controlling your psyker energy?] 

 

{sure! You have any ideas?} replied Layla 

 

[well, that was easy… I thought you would at least deny me a little…. T.T you're no fun….] replied Miss A jokingly 

 

{Miss A! Just tell me!} replied Layla as she watched the demon suddenly grow a tail with a tiny mouth at the end with a mouth-watering tongue! It then… for some reason grew one tit like a woman on one side of its breast… causing the human side of its face to bulge out in shock and horror! 

 

Its human teeth then began to fall out! While in their place grew, out razor-sharp teeth like a shark but in a shade of black and red! With metal ribs popping out from its chest to reveal an open wounded heart! Its legs growing feet of that of a dinosaur, and nails as sharp as any sword! With a face and a head now resembling more of a bat than a human, the demon smiled and released hot steam from its lungs! As the metal plates that once made up its body reformed themselves to take up room as tight armor… And with a belt made of tiny skulls that covered his groin! 

 

Layla stared at the demon's finished look and took pity for the human that was used as its base! for as she stared at the demon she could see what was left of the human half and she knew he underwent great pain as she could hear all the sound of its bones breaking and reshaping, she saw all the blood that poured out of each broken or torn placement… even now as it slowly walked up to her, she could see the blood oozing from its eyes! The trail of blood from its mouth… the opened wounds where the bone broke the skin…. The demon then grinned at the look Layla gave it, as it pulled out a sword from its mouth!
