WIZARDS [Incubus Hunt 2]

The Night Beckons [Before Dawn]

Sarah’s Side

Mother Hershey was able to make it outside the convent where Sr. Anastacia and the London Incubus were decking each other out in a heated battle. In her mind, she wanted to know if the rest of her allies are doing well. She remembered that they were at St. Peter’s Basilica in search for Dimaria’s tomb. She safely made her way through the streets and made into an alley. There were a few Lustful Fanatics roaming around and she took some out already. However, there was this part of the street where her heart wasn’t fully prepared to experience.

She saw them, male cultists on top of Vatican Crusader Nuns and common civilians. While the others are fighting against the adversary, some of those defeated are being r***d by the men and the women of the Cult of Lust. One of those nuns happened to see Hershey hiding. She was being held in a doggie position trying her best to endure the public humiliation. The nun shook her head at her as if she was telling her to find another way of escape. A male cultist then went in front of the poor nun and shove his d**k down her throat.

Hershey was furious. She wanted to open fire but she was afraid she might hit the civilians and the nuns and priests being r***d and reverse r***d by the cultists. The only way for her to save those people was to fight them in close quarters. However, she can’t fight a mob of this cultists. She wasn’t as strong as Belladonna, Anastacia, Sarah, and Beaux. She also didn’t want to use her trump card just yet.

Before she could even react, however, somebody from behind covered her mouth.

“It’s me!” Beaux removed her hand from her mouth and assured her so that she would not struggle any further. “I covered your mouth because I was afraid that you’d yell if I suddenly said ‘Hi’… so sorry about that…”

“It’s alright… why are you here?” Hershey was keeping herself calm. “Aren’t you supposed to be with Belladonna and Sarah?”

“When I heard that the Lustful Fanatics are in danger, I was thinking about the children in the orphanage,” Beaux looked cautiously around, “I can’t leave them alone…”

“You’re very noble, Beaux,” she started to weep. “Please help my comrades… they’re being violated out there… I can’t do anything…”

“I’ll help you but you need to know that I am a hybrid just like Sr. Anastacia.” Beaux turned into her succubus form, “Follow closely behind and tell them that I’m your ally.”

“Alright…” Hershey loaded her pistols. “I’m ready when you are…”

“Physical Enhancement Magic:” Beaux powered up both Hershey and herself. “Pure Power!”

[St. Peter’s Basilica]

“Are you done?” Blood-fang stood sturdy and undamaged. “You look tired already, Belladonna…”

“You’re a cheat!” Belladonna stood up and prayed. “Eternal Father, we offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Savior… In atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world… For the sake of His sorrowful passion!”

“That didn’t do any-”

*CRASH!!!*

Out of nowhere, Blood-fang received a massive kick that sent him flying back into the altar, crashing into the wall, and destroying a part of the Basilica. The kicker stood up angry and fired up… Yours Truly, Sarah.

“Have mercy on us, and on the whole world…” I replied to Belladonna. “Mystical Dust Conversion! Purification Field!”

Gathering the mystical dust from the halls of the basilica, I purified the desecrated temple healing both of them in the process. Belladonna got her strength back and was able to pick herself up back together.

“I almost got him, you know,” Belladonna grinned at me. “How were you able to break his toughness?”

“I concentrated all of my anger into one point,” I aimed at the wreckage. “The pope is in grave danger… we need to prioritize his safety first! As for this damn Alpha… Electro Magic: LIGHTNING!!!”

*CRACKLE!!!*

[Papal Palace Underground Vault]

“That’s the last of the Elite Guards, I think…” Dimitri Rossellini showed his true colors. “I’m not really the real Bishop… what color of smoke do they put up when a pope dies?”

“What is the meaning of this?” The pope looked calm despite the situation he was in. “What happened to the real Dimitri Rossellini?”

“He is as good as dead…” Dimitri stared at him ominously. “This is what happens when you try to fight the most powerful wizard in this world!!!”

“…”

“If this is the apocalypse, I am the so-called Anti-Christ!”

“…”

“Why aren’t you saying anything, old man?”

“…”

“You’re thinking that you should not have deployed Sr. Anastacia to battle, didn’t you?”

“No…”

“What?!”

“I am happy that I had to deploy her… for I know that she is strong and she can save more people than just saving me alone. I am happy that I was able to save her from you… the true devil.”

Dimitri stayed silent for a moment.

“What is the color to indicate that a pope has died?” He carried the pope by the neck choking him, “Tell me… old man.”

“Thank you, Beaux,” Hershey smiled at her. “You saved a lot of my comrades.”

“Save that for later, when this is all over. Besides, they haven’t accepted the fact that there are good Celestial Beings existing out there…”

“I told the people that you saved us, that not all Celestial Beings are composed of just the devils.”

“I’m just glad that you’re safe, Hershey… sorry if I won’t call you by your title anymore,” Beaux looked up ahead. “There are still people for me to save.”

“I’m coming with you.” Hershey stood up, “I can help… promise. I already told them that we’re still going to save others.”

Beaux looked at the people that they had saved. She conjured up her broom, “Since I can fly, I guess that you’d have to ride this one.”

“A broomstick?” Hershey’s eyes widened for a moment. After that, she smiled, “Heck yeah!”

“Where are you going, Sr. Eri?” Adam Belmont caught up to her… “Oh hello there, Mother Hershey. I just came here to take my woman away~ NOW, COME TO DAD-UGH!!!”

*PIERCE!!!*

Adam vomited blood. He looked at his chest and saw a sharp wooden stake. “That was not noble of you… to stab me from behind…”

With that, the vampire immediately turned into dust.

“Anything goes,” Sr. Anastacia had completely healed herself.

Hershey hugged her tight, “You’re safe!”

“Yep, the incubus fled, but we have to keep our guards up,” Anastacia then glanced at Beaux. “Seeing that you lent her your broom must mean that you are an ally. I’m Anastacia Borelli by the way… I am half-fallen angel.”

“I am Agent Beaux Steinfeld from the Antarctic Sanctuary and I am a cambion… half-succubus. We came here to stop the resurrection of the Evil Witch, Dimaria Ventura. Also, we’re in a hurry…”

“HELLO~”

An ominous voice suddenly spoke with them through their thoughts. Everybody within the city could hear it…

“MY NAME IS PROFANO…”

“I AM SPEAKING THROUGH YOUR THOUGHTS…”

“THE POPE, HIS HOLINESS, IS AT MY MERCY RIGHT NOW~”

“What?!” Sr. Anastacia clenched her fists. “The pope is in the Papal Palace! I need to go back right now!”

“OH YEAH, HE WILL DIE… AND IS ALL TOO LATE TO SAVE HIM.”

“No…” Hershey gripped the broomstick tight.

“YOU CAN CALL ME THE ANTI-CHRIST…”

“YOU KNOW IF YOU SURRENDERED, I WOULD KEEP THE POPE ALIVE~”

“Don’t listen to him!!!” The pope suddenly yelled. “He will kill me regardless! Fight! Do not give up!!! There are good Celestial Beings like Sr. Anastacia out there!!!”

“OOPSIE, THAT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN… HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK THROUGH ME?”

“Let’s go…” Beaux spread out her wings. “Let’s show them our might!!!”

“We need to work together!” Hershey called out to the people that they saved. “We can still liberate the city from the enemy!!! Sr. Anastacia and Beaux are on our side!!! Please!!!”

“Even if they won’t listen, I will still fight for them… that’s my role as the pope’s guardian!” Sr. Anastacia spread out her red wings as an electrically charged pinkish halo appeared above her head.

The people were surprised, it was as if they were awakened when they saw her angelic appearance despite her being half-fallen angel. Moreover, it looked like the arrival of Belladonna and I struck them even further. Belladonna was a warrior angel and Sarah, yours truly, looked pure in her white dress.

“Sr. Anastacia…” I approached her to introduce myself. “It’s me, Sr. Airi… this one is Belladonna, she’s a warrior angel.”

Hershey felt empowered as she started to realize that the people were standing up for us. The Vatican Crusaders, the civilians, the agents, the police, and the military approached us like the heroines that we were. I gave them a warm welcoming smile accompanied by purifying magic to heal their wounds and remove the corruption in the area. They felt strengthened. Even if we knew that the pope would not make it, we would never give up.

The soldiers reported to their leaders about our presence and that we were not enemies. They saw us as the true angels saving them against the apocalyptic evil. The higher-ups never had any choice left but to trust us. They even opened their communications with the Antarctic Sanctuary to ask for their help. North America and Europe were in a pinch and these higher-ups knew that they had to throw away their pride for the safety of all people worldwide.

As we prepared to fight against the so-called Anti-Christ, the werewolves under Blood-fang suddenly made their entrance…

“IF THE VAMPIRES AND THE LUSTFUL FANATICS WEREN’T ENOUGH TO STOP YOU HUMANS, THEN THE ADDITION OF MY VICIOUS ARMY OF WEREWOLVES WILL!!!” Blood-fang roared. His nose still looked busted from the massive kick that I gave him earlier.

“MY-MY-MY~ IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO SEE LOTS OF SEXUALLY ABUSED VICTIMS TODAY~” The Incubus of London showed up as well with the Evil Witch’s Cult of Lust on the west. “STOP PRETENDING OF YOUR DEATH, LEUKEO!”

“I was just playing around, you know~” The real Adam Belmont finally revealed himself flying with his bat-like wings on the north. “They even killed my puppet unceremoniously… I am Leukeo Wanderstach, I am a Special Vampire from Germany. It’s nice to finally see you for real, Sister Eri~”

“We’re surrounded…” Beaux brought out her wand. “I think it is time for me to use my trump card. I’ll protect the north…”

“I’ll head west,” Sr. Anastacia patted my shoulder. “What about you?”

“I’ll stay with Mother Hershey here in the east….” Belladonna glared at Blood-fang. “I have a score to settle…”

“Which leaves… the south.” I stretched out my arms and legs while floating mid-air. “As long as this purification circle is up, we’ll be safe here.”

“ANY LAST WORDS FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT, POPE?”

The telekinetic broadcast of the pope went live one last time…

“This is not the apocalypse… this man is just a terrorist.”

“WHAT?”

“Do not fear for God will always lead the way… This fortress may have fallen down but there are angels on our side… the true angels that we once rejected in fear that they are the devils themselves. We even killed some of them… most of them never meant any harm at all… I want you to trust them… the Celestial Beings from the Antarctic Sanctuary are friends… they are our allies. If we want to stop this war, we must all work together…”

“Sr. Anastacia is the daughter of a fallen angel. I took her under my protection from the Vatican Officials who persecuted her and want her dead. I was reminded of the time when the Pharisees brought Jesus a sinful woman condemned to be stoned to death… I had this urge to protect her and to give a chance… I always believed that the one called Angel Buriel was a true angel.”

“ARE YOU DONE YET?”

“Let me remind you, children of God… Evil never w-”

*SNAP*

“DID I JUST CUT THE POPE WHILE DELIVERING HIS BORING SPEECH? YES I DID…”

“AS A MATTER OF FACT, I SNAPPED HIS NECK…”

There was a surge of power that flowed within all of us. The unceremonious killing of the pope… his last words… and his calm and composed demeanor… Sr. Anastacia’s savior…

The people felt our agony and sorrow… they saw it with the surge of our power… the power to avenge the death of a leader and the power to protect the nation…

The dying message of the pope reached all nations of the world… It was so powerful that the world leaders never even bothered about their pride any longer…

All of the leader miraculously and simultaneously made a statement… they were asking for our help…

“THIS IS ANGEL BURIEL, LEADER OF THE ANTARCTIC SANCTUARY. HELP IS ON THE WAY.”

“THIS IS DRAGON FANG GONG BIN, LEADER OF THE CLOUD CITADEL. WE HAVE COME TO ASSIST HUMANITY.”

“THIS IS DJINN TRIRABA NOUAALTU, LEADER OF THE SAHARA UNDERGROUND. THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO UNITE FORCES WITH HUMANITY!”

Profano the Fallen Sorcerer laughed hard…

“PATHETIC FOOLS…”

“I AM THE MOST POWERFUL WIZARD IN THE WORLD…”

“BRING ME HERSHEY MANDAPAT! AS FOR THE REST, NO SURVIVORS!”
