The Reaver of Souls by JuankiMan



Chapter 1

It was a clear night, almost all activity in the college had ceased but someone was wide awake in exitement.

Surrounded by black wax candles he was busy drawing a pentagram with chalk on the floor when someone knoked the door.

Student: "Who is it?"
Voice: "Itīs me. Cīmon Steve, open the door, this weighs a ton!"
Steve: "Ok, coming. You got the TV?"
Waldo: "Right here with me, I think they went to the cinema"
Steve: "Excellent"

Steve stands up and heads to the door opening to let Waldo in.

Waldo: "Bout time! By the way, why do we need the guy from upstairs TV?
Steve: "I already told you! It was possesed by an evil spirit so we will use the residual energy left by it to summon a warp gate."
Waldo: "Cool. Did you finish the pentagram?"
Steve: "Yup. Got the demonīs name?"
Waldo: "Found it in a book of black magic at the library."
Steve: "Perfect! Now put the TV in front of the pentagram while I prepare the summoning."
Waldo: "Great! Ill go get my fiber glass horns!"

In five minutes everything was ready to begin the ritual: The TV was in front of the carfully drawn pentagram with candles on each end and arcane runes inscribed on it. Inside the pentagram was a dead skinned goat.

Waldo: "I hope this works! That full goat costed a hell lot of money!
Steve: "Of course it will work! Shut up and recite de &$%$@ spell!
Waldo+Steve: "Ashk nar bartûr, ashk nar mordür, iash skar larni Mablothrax dûm, MABLOTRHAX DÛM!!!

Suddenly thick clouds covered the moon and a crack of thunder was heard in the distance. Finally a lightning bolt entered through the demonologistīs window and hit the TVīs antenna. The blast of energy created a rift in reality wich expanded to a great chaos portal. Seconds afterwards an enormous goat leg appeared though the portal, then a mighty inhuman arm and finally the rest of the demonīs body.
The demonīs figure was an abomination:
Three meters tall with powerful goat legs, inmense brown humanoid arms, a hideous bull head with great horns and two mighty bat wings. It was the incarnation of fear but the roomies were far more excited than afraid.

Demon: "WHO DARES TO CALL FOR THE ALL-MIGHTY MABLOTHRAX, LORD OF THE BURNING HELLS!!!"
Waldo: "It Worked!!"
Steve: "I told ya it would. Mablotrhax! We summoned you and know you must grant us our wish!"
Mablothrax: "And why should I do that you pittifull insignificant mortal?"
Steve: "Because is thanks to us that you can manifest in this plane! You know owe us a token of your gratitude."
Mablothrax: Hmmm...Very well, so be it! What do you want?
Waldo: "POWER!! We want the absolute power!
Mablothrax: HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Donīt make me laugh. Only the guy downstairs can give you that and he wonīt come back after what happened laast time so you will have to take the power I can give you."
Steve: "Whatever, weīll take it!"
Mablothrax: "Very well...Prepare yourselves; this might be...unsettling"

With that last words It threw a red beam of pure daemonic energy to each of the demonologists through itīs deep black eyes.
Waldo and Steve screamed in pain as they absorbed the unmeasurable power of the demon.

Steve: "YES!! I...can..feel...the power...flowing...through...my veins!"
Mablothrax: "Your wish has been granted. Now that you have your power I will proceed to consume it along with your souls."
Waldo+Steve: "WHAT?ŋ?"

The demon started aproaching menacingly to the roomies with his legs ready to jump.

Waldo: "How on Earth did he get out of the pentagram?!?
Mablothrax: "Beacause you dorks forgot to bless it."
Stave: "DAMN! I knew I was forgetting something."

Suddenly Waldo pulled out of his pocket a golden crucifix and showed it to the demon who stopped approaching and gave him a puzzled look to then burst into an evil laughter.

Mablothrax: "MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! You thought I would retreat just by seeing the enemy flag?
Youīre even stupider than I thougth."

With that words it made a move too quick for his size and grabbed the roomies by their necks lifting them high in the air.

Mablothrax: "Time to say good night. If you thought the energy transfer was painful just wait till you feel this!

And then teenagers left out a horrible scream of agony (that would have been heard worldwide if the Mablothrax hadnīt made the prudential move of creating an isolation sphere) while their souls were sucked by the creature. When he finished he threw their empy bodies to the floor with a wicked grin.

Mablothrax: "Look the brigth side guys. You just learned that you must never ever trust a greater daemon. Now letīs accomplish my TRUE mission"

And whith a burst of flames the greater daemon dissapeared heading for his next target with one last phrase:

"Let the hunting begin!"

Chapter 2

Meanwhile, out in the streets, seven young people were walking home, lively chatting about the movie they had just seen.

Margaret: "Wow! What an amazing film! I love Van Dammeīs action movies.
Marsha: "I think it was a bit too incredible, you know, for him surviving the chopper blades and all that"
Mike: "Hey, itīs an action movie. It ainīt so cool without incredible show-offs and a bit of nonesense.
Diana: "Next time I want a Leo Di Caprio movie. Heīs the best."
Dave: "By the way, we should speed up. I think itīs goona rain and I heard thunder a while ago."

The teenagers started running towards the college, Margaret leading the way, Dave, Marsha, Mike April and Roger right behind her and finally Diana, who seemed to had some trouble caching up.

Diana: "Hey guys, wait for m--" She cut talking suddenly
Roger: "Diana?

Roger stoped and turned seeing Diana smiling at him from a corner and gesticulating for him to follow her and then runnig off trough the dark alley. Roger inmidiatly run off after her.

Roger: "Hey Diana, wait!"
April: "Iīm gonna follow those two. We arenīt precisely in the safest part of the city.

She then ran off after Roger and Diana.

Margaret: "Do you think sheīs actually worried for them or just plain jealous?
Everyone: "Jealous"

Roger and Diana ran through the dark alleys, Diana giggling in front of Roger while he tried to reach her. After passing some blocks Diana suddenly stopped in a blind alley.

Diana: "I think we are far enough"
Roger: "For what, wanna play?"
Diana: "No, I jus wanted...your soul!"
Roger: "HUH?ŋ?"

Roger shrieked in horror as he saw how wings bursted out of her shoulders her fingernails grew to migthy claws and she triplicated her body mass.

Mablothrax: "Hi there Roger! Welcome to the last moments of your life."
Roger: "Wh..what do you want from me?"
Mablothrax: "Didnīt I say it already? I want your soul, and Iīm gonna have it you want or not.
Roger: "Why me?"
Mablothrax: "The boss is quite angry with you since you shot his hand. It will take years for him to grow it again."
Roger: "Well, Iīm sorry pal, but Iīm not giving up so easily."

Roger screamed as hair grew all over his body as well as his muscles, ripping his clothes. The scream turned into a ferocious roar.

Mablothrax: Cool! I havenīt fought a werebeast since the witch hunts! I hope Iīm not out of training.

The two opponents stared snarling at each other moment and engaged in a ferocious battle with the demon striking shattering blows and Roger viciously slashing the creatureīs tough skin. When they separated the Roger was hurt and exhausted and the demon was dripping black blood through the wounds on his chest.

Mablothrax: "Youīve fought bravely, but something I really hate are equal battles!"

The Mablothrax then dissapeared out of sight in a burst of flames.

Roger: "Cīmon demon! Are you afraid of me? Where are you?
Mablothrax: "Right behind you."

The beast reappeared right behind Roger knocking him out with a blow on his neck.

Mablothrax: "Game over."

April was still was wandering the streats looking for Roger and Diana when she penetreated the demonīs isolation sphere, hearing a scream that froze her blood.

April: Roger!!

She started running towards the horrifying sound but when she found Roger he was already back to human and frozen still on the ground.

April: Roger, cīmon wake up! WAKE UP! Someone help! Help!

The other roomies arrived soon finding April sobbing upon Rogerīs body.

Margaret: April, weīre here! Are you...Oh my!

They all aproached leaning at Roger.

Dave: "Is he...dead?"
Margaret: "Iīll check his pulse"
Mike: "Did you hear that?"

They stopped hearing a moan from a nearby garbage container. They aproached to it except Margaret, who stayed checking Rogerīs health. They slowly opened it. Inside there was...Diana.

April: "YOU! What did you do to Roger you bitch! Talk or Iīll...
Mike: "April, calm down! We donīt know if it was her!
Margaret: "She wasnīt. Iīve seen this before. His soul has been stolen."
Mike: "His soul has been what? Are you nuts?"
Dave(ignoring Mike): "But whereīs the demon?"
Margaret: "I donīt know. His heartbeat is weak but itīs still there so I guess itīs not too late."
April: "But what can we do?"
Margaret: "the only thing whe can do now is to take him and Diana home."
Mike: "This whole thing is nonesense!"
Dave: "Shut up and grab his legs!"

They headed for the college Dave and Mike carrying Roger while Marsha and Margaret helped Diana to walk since she was too stunned to even talk.

They arrived a few moments later, left Diana at her apartament and headed to the guyīs place. They opened the door and Mike yelled as he peeked inside.

Dave: "Whatīs wrong? The demon?"
Mike: "Someone stole our TV!!"
Dave: "Come on Mike, this is serious!"
Margaret: "Ok, lay Roger in a bed, Iīll go get my guns. I donīt want to meet unarmed the thing that got him."
Dave: "Ok. Come on Mike, hep me take Roger to my bed"

Againg Mike grabbed Rogerīs legs as Dave hold his head. They headed for Daveīs room and opened the door. Jumped in surprise as they recognized the young femenine figure that was waiting for them.

Dave+Mike: "BLUE!"
