Devil Orobas IV

Jersey had no issue running into the hallway but Aurora still managed to catch up to him, it seemed that the doors had been locked ahead of time, the whole place had been prepared as a massive trap and all the windows had iron fences set on to them this was no small work it would have taken a lot of people and working hours to get this done, he could tell he was not dealing with a small group of mercenaries.

''Damn, guess there is no way out but up'' He spun just in time to evade Aurora's sword she was clearly making up the difference in speed by cutting off his movements almost as if she knew everything he planned to do before he dashed to the left side of the hall she swiped with her claw cutting him off from heading back into the main hallway.

''Give it up lady it doesn't matter how much you swing that around you are not fast enough to touch me.'' He waved as he walked backward both of his hands raised, she pierced with a stockade towards his head but he merely moved it from left to right to evade the tip of the blade, Aurora gritted her teeth this was taking longer than expected.

''You think you can make it out of here without even fighting back, don't get so cocky kid,''

''Hey, I've nothing against you, I'm just not much for violence that's all, lets's just leave this on a tie and take a coffee later, my treat.'' Aurora's eye glowed with a red tint, there were no traces of that mad smile in her face anymore, she had taken over Amii, to take care of this once and for all.

Her claw raised towards his head again and he licked his lip disappeared into a green whirlwind and passed through her side, Aurora saw the path was moving to in the future, to run back to the hallway, so with all of her strength she threw her sword, the inhuman strength sending it flying like a javelin and it hit him straight to his back underneath of the package he carried, making the man collapse before he could go out of the room.

''That is what you get for showing your back kid.''

He grabbed the handle of the blade to take it out, and error by all means as it caused him to bleed profoundly even a demon should know better than that, Aurora couldn't help but smirk at his lack of training as powerful a demon as he was he fought as an ordinary civilian would.

''Heh...you are serious...you really want to kill me... why? Do you really want this package that much?''

''I don't care about your delivery I already told you, Im, here for your life, they sent me for you and nothing else, so if you want to continue playing around you just going to make it easier for me.'' The man's smile had disappeared he was not sweating in terror, this was unusual for him, almost no one had managed to harm him before.

''Sorry but, my job is to deliver this, fighting you will just be a waste of time, so I'll just say this, you won't be able to catch me no one can, not if I go all out.'' She ran towards him with her claw and he threw the blade away from them rather than run away he ducked and tackled her with enough force to throw her back.

''Hahaha, so that's how it is, have it your way I'll play with you so hard you can stop holding back, fears always win at the end with humans, they show themselves as the beasts they are when put against the wall, haha.'' Aurora's voice suddenly shifted and her expression showed pure madness again, Amii could not miss to take charge now.

They looked at each other breathing slowly they both knew any mistake could be fatal, even Amii knew she could slip from his claws if she gave him any opening and she would never catch up to him again. Before either of them could move they heard a loud rumbling sound and a terrible screech.

''They both looked in the middle towards the hallway they had come from to see a long claw grabbing the corner at the end of the hall, they both stared at it unable to move from that place, unsure how to react.

''You stole...give it back, he wants it back.'' The voice of a woman echoed in the hall but it sounded unnatural like it was composed of many voices interloping. An unbelievably tall figure stepped into the hallway having to hunchback as its head was touching the ceiling, it was a lone figure on a suit, slender and tall as a tree, his walking mechanical and strange and its hands were long metal claws, in fact, it had no skin at all his head was that of an empty wooden head like that of a wooden doll. Amii stopped smiling as Aurora took over again.

''That is a marionette, what the hell are you delivering to have one of those things after you.'' Aurora turned to face Jersey and he seemed to be just as confused, she couldn't help but sigh, this man clearly had no idea about what they had in front of them if they weren't careful they both would die here and now in a moment.

''Oh god, that thing is after me? You know what that is?''He said already too focused on the huge abomination.

''Listen, we need to get to the rooftop, we are not going to have a chance to fight trapped in here,'' Aurora told him as he slowly backed away.

''He wants it back, he will love us if we bring it back...give it back. give it back!'' The creature walked forward its claw screeching as it tore through the wall.

''What do you want to team up with me now?''

''Yeah, I can't explain it but I can't let that thing kill you, sorry but I have to kill you myself, besides I may need some help with this thing.''

''Ok, not the sweetest thing I've ever heard lady, but I'm game.''

The marionette twisted its long arms as if embracing itself and then in an instant, it jumped forward cutting the distance towards them both, its long arms stretching with the claws Aurora blocked the attack with her own claw and Jersey ducked below it as the wood doll landed between them both it began to spin on place as if dancing.

''The hell is this creepy thing doing." Slowly he backed away and the faceless doll turned its neck in an unnatural fashion staring at him with its blank empty face. Suddenly it moved again with great speed spinning with a slash of its claw. Leaving green mist he evaded at its side but as the creature was spinning its other claw followed slashing again, Jersey backed again making as much distance as he could but the doll raised its long dancing a ballet. It threw a kick using its spinning and managed to hit him from the side throwing him with such force that he crashed into the wall cracking it.

With grace, the doll spun around and moved with both of its claws. Aurora moved behind it with its own claws and gave it a straight punch to the back the doll was thrown down the hallway but it manage to land on a single leg and spun around towards them, its limbs flailing wildly.

"Do not get in the way, do not get in the way of our love!"it screamed incomprehensible.

"Sorry, go back and tell that creep of your boyfriend, a broken doll has no place here," Aurora screamed charging forward the doll with her claw her eye glowed red and she could see it, the doll swiping forward first, its long limbs ridiculously fast, it was a close one but she dodged just in time and then grabbed its arm with her claw and closed it with all of her force, she could hear the sound of wood and metal cracking under the massive pressure.

The doll merely moved back its arm broke and quickly sent a kick toward Aurora she was in no position to evade it and just blocked it with her demonic arm, the impact still sent her to the ground, but the doll ignored her and rushed towards Jersey instead who only barely got on his feet.

The doll spun its remaining claw cutting off the leather on his jacket, he tried to fight back by launching a punch into its chest but the doll one merely recoiled and bounced back without even flinching and sent another kick his way Jersey was now moving at full speeding evading claw and another kick, but the barrage was endlessly whatever this thing was it would never grow tired, it will keep slashing and kicking forever if it had to.

"Alright, there's no helping it then, hey mailman, let's take this thing to the rooftop we have no change in this closed-off place just as I told you."

"I don't think is going to let us.." Jersey ducked again as the thrall foot almost hit his neck, from the bottom of its shoes a long blade emerged from a compartment and managed to draw blood from his neck, but he still came unscratched as he sped back towards the emergency stairs. As expected the thrall followed it completely ignoring Aurora who just ran behind them as fast as she could, but both of them were so much faster.

"Man I'm already out of breath this is ridiculous." Aurora followed after them, thinking about how terrible the plan had gone out of control.

"I really hope they only send one of those things I really do." Jersey reached the staircase and began to speed through it, going up towards the top as best as he could, the giant doll followed by jumping from above raising an entire floor and grafting the metal handles on the stair above, by doing it reached Jersey and swung its claws towards his head, he gasped ducking below and kept running without stopping the doll followed him by jumping and climbing its way up. He reached the steel door to the roof a tackled it, but it was completely closed.

"Damn it!" He kicked the door and kicked it over and over again, his leg moving so fast it looked like a blur surrounded by green mist, and the door finally snapped open, Jersey ran outside to the roof but as he did the long claws reached behind him and grabbed the black box he had strapped to his back, making it snap and fly over to land on the roof, Jersey freed himself and rand towards it.

"Oh god, now you've gone and done, you damaged the package, you fiend." He stared back and the thrall who stepped outside twisting its neck so it could fit through the door. It raised its remaining claw pointing at the package.

"There it is, he will be so happy I just need to take it back." The doll walked forward as if it had completely forgotten about Jersey.

"Sorry, but I have never lost a delivery and I'm not going to start today!" The doll moved forwards moving its long limbs with an eerie step, but it was suddenly forced to a stop.

"Í will stop it from moving so you better do something!" Aurora grabbed it by the arm with her own massive claw and forced it to its back, with her free hand she pierced its leg with the tip of her blade, she was doing all she could to stop the doll's movement using all of her strength.

"Got it, don't worry about a thing lady, I'll finish this." Jersey began to hop in place like a boxer, and the mist around him grew in intensity, within it one could see the shape of the head of a horse take shape, his feet began to burn with intense green flames that jumped out as he landed over and over. He took a deep breath and ran towards them with a furious neigh from the illusionary beast. He jumped leaving a trail of green mist and a burning scorched path every his feet had touched, as he flew to the doll he threw a kick and with intense speed it landed on the head of the doll and made it launch into the air like a guillotine his kick cut its head clean off. Jersey landed spreading a green fire that scorched the floor black.

Aurora let go of the doll that simply fall forward as if its string had been cut, she looked back at Jersey who was surrounded by green flames.

"So that is your real strength when you don't hold back, that is more likely." Aurora walked back towards the black box it had been forced open upon landing on the rooftop, She looked inside it and her eyes widened.

"I think you should take a look at this Mr.Jersey." She said with a bitter voice and he began to calm down seeing that she had the advantage with that package in her reach. She grabbed with her claw and he raised both of his hands up.

"Ok I give up, just don't break it." He pleaded.
