Moon River Forest
The demon who James called Wobbuffet sense the danger of the blood and it's body turn into metallic shell, changing into a form that made it a walking Dreadnaught in terms of power. A red aura came from the demon and the talon suddenly stopped as a force prevented James from stabbing it. The demon cracked its knuckles and delivered a powerful punch to the half blood's face follow by his stomach and the back of his head.
The demon called Speedy was hit by the claw beams but was sent flying back, screaming in pain. Before it can turn to land on it's feet it was impaled by a saw blade. Below the demon was Marie who extended the blade of her weapon and used it as a pike against the falling demon. The demon struggle to break free and it did so once Marie threw it to a nearby tree. As it tried to get up she sliced it's head off, once the headless demon's body finally became motionless Marie saw something come out of the demon.
It was a crimson mist sphere that had a pale glow to it, the sphere flew out of the demon's body and enter her body. Marie suddenly fit energized and in her mind she felt a surge of new information on an ability she didn't know or have appear to her, telling her how to use it. Yet as she felt that what she knows now isn't it's full capabilities, if this was the case than she would need to train herself on mastering it.
Marie heard the demons roar and soon rush over to the scene. Once she saw James she found that he was having trouble with a demon that was a walking suit of armor than a demon. The one called Annie got it's rifle back and was about to shot James when Marie made her presence known and shot the demon with her blunderbuss. The demons didn't so much react to the quicksilver bullets as they have less effect on their kind when compared to beasts. It did however get both Annie and Bones to turn from James to Marie, with Bones rushing towards her and Annie aiming to take a shot at her.
Marie ran forward and made a quick dodge dash once Annie fired, dodging the bullet and getting slashed by Bones on her chest. Marie back away from the demon as her chest began to heal but the demon kept on delivering one erratic combo after the other. Marie dodged some but others she was hit by, the worst being one that knocked her in the air allowing the demon to deliver three attacks to keep her airborne before it let her fall only to deliver a powerful slash that sent her flying to a tree.
Marie was covered in many bruises, patches of dirt and grim and bleeding cuts and gashes, most of whom were healing. Marie's attire was even more tattered than before being almost unrecognizable. If she wasn't to focus on the battle Marie would have been embarrassed on the amount of skin she was showing and how with a few place slashes certain body parts would be exposed. Bones performed a high speed lunge attack in an attempt to skew Marie but the huntress dodged the attack and had the demon get's claws stuck on the tree which Marie responded by chopping off the trapped limb. The demon screamed in pain and leap out of her next attack, holding the bleeding stump that was once it's arm.
Annie was charging it's next shot as a large orb as forming on the barrel of it's gun. Once Marie saw what the demon was planning she dodged in time as a beam of demonic energy almost hit her. She rush towards the demon as it fired off multiple small but fast homing orbs at her. Marie began to run away from the orbs until she manage to get them to lose her or have their time on the world being spent.
She saw where James was and the demon was fighting against still was in it's dreadnought form, it grabbed him so it can perform a piledriver on him. Marie winced at the sight and was soon hit by three orbs fired by Annie. She took out her blunderbuss and fired back at the demon but this time the demon protected itself from the bullets by using it's shield. It leap high to the branch and was charging another massive orb as it followed Marie's movements.
Marie ran towards the dreadnought demon and once the demon fired the massive orb she grabbed James and dodged in time so the orb hit it, but the force of the blast sent her and James flying. The two half bloods landed right next to each other. Marie looked over to James. "Sorry for being late James. I was busy with three of our other friends. One of this is dead but something strange happened after I killed them." her attention was soon drawn back to the demon in armor as it grabbed her and threw her down on top of James.
The demon's began to stomp at the two with Marie using her saw cleaver as a poor shield, Marie felt the teeth of the blade still cut her even though she had the blade to the side. The demon grabbed the blade out of her hand, breaking her hand to make her let it go. Before Marie's eyes she saw the demon snap her weapon into, in rage she pointed her blunderbuss at the demon but it too merely bent the weapon to make it useless before taking it away from her and throwing it into the air, where Annie shot it with a medium sized orb, causing the weapon to explode into tiny pieces.
Marie was shocked to see her two most trustworthy weapons now taken and destroyed before her. The dreadnought demon soon rush over to the two and was going to cave in Marie's skull with it's fist, yet something happened during its charge. The form that made it powerful and indestructible faded as it ran out of energy to stay in that form. The demon couldn't stop it's attack now that the momentum was going, all it can hope is to take one of the two warriors out before the other can counter attack.
