"You should know by now, that in this place there are no normal people" was the only thing Bruno said, now he had to find another way to go up, but now there was a good excuse for destruction.
"Whatever, but S'ym will not give up so easily, take the opportunity to leave." Illyana, as Bruno now knows her, was in a bad mood. Now she felt like she owed Bruno one, and that made her angry.
But Bruno did not take it seriously, inside his head he was reviewing the previous blow, that blow was supposed to leave a huge hole in the chest of that demon, but the calculations failed at the last moment, but now Bruno had more confidence to the next hit.
"I'm telling you to get out, if they kill you it won't be my problem" Illyana snorted, she already had enough problems.
"Don't worry, I don't want to interfere either, but I have no idea where the exit is, and since the elevator is under maintenance, I have to find another exit, and something tells me that you don't know where there is one either" Bruno was watching Illyana , and he noticed that she was quite lost in this place.
A small growl came out of Illyana's mouth, she didn't expect to find someone upset in this place. Maybe using it as bait would have been a better idea.
"Do what you want, but this is my fight" was the last thing Illyana said as she increased speed, leaving Bruno behind.
Bruno ignored that at the moment, what he was thinking was who Illyana was, he remembered the X-Men, or at least the main lineup, but she was not.
The only thing they exchanged were names, and many questions were missing, why a demon was chasing her, maybe there was only one, the mansion was in danger, it was time for Bruno to find another place to live, so many unknowns.
and all he could do was watch her walk away, vigorously shaking her bubbling butt. It really was a good sight but it was better to leave those thoughts for the moment,Something told him that this problem would not be so simple.
And it seemed that Bruno's instincts were quite precise, because that prediction was soon fulfilled, since one of S'ym's hands reached from the ground, destroying the ground and pulling Bruno.
A hole was opened from where Bruno fell on her back. There was no harm, but now he was in an awkward position.
"Little vermin, this is for humiliating S'ym", unloading all his fury, the demon used his ax to cut Bruno in two.
Being on the ground, Bruno saw how the attack was about to arrive, but he only raised his stick to intercept the blow.
A smile formed on S'ym's face, only to later turn into surprise, then terror.
The events happened quickly, Bruno not only stopped the attack, but with the movement of his cane, he struck back at S'ym, the demon's hands fractured, and the ax went to his body.
Being so close it was impossible to dodge, and the demon could only see how his ax stuck in his body.
"I'm still failing, this is not easy, but I'm already understanding" it was time to get up, Bruno was still on the ground, and although his position could be uncomfortable to fight, as long as there is any kind of contact, Bruno will have the advantage.
Getting up took some time, his body still tired easily, but recovery would still take time. Taking off a few fragments of his clothes, Bruno had to shake himself to get clean again. Now there was one last matter.
S'ym was panting in pain, the ax went quite deep, it was best to retreat, but there seemed to be no chance.
Looking up, the demon saw the cane that has caused him so much pain, but this time it was just a few inches from his head.
"Last words?, ... .. actually it's just a formalism, don't take it wrong, you just had bad luck taking you with me, there's really no bad blood between us, but a fight is a fight, and I really don't like them loose ends, this is not personal "
It was the first time that S'ym looked in those eyes, there was no negative emotion, but even so that human was about to murder him without blinking, as if taking a life was the most common thing in the world, that was the type of person who could give the most fear, but there was also an opportunity, as his life was worth nothing to him, then an exchange could get his attention.
"S'ym still has mighty courage, sir." S'ym's tone changed, like someone living in limbo, strength is everything, not even his master could put him in this kind of situation so easily, "S'ym wants negotiate for his life "
(That was interesting), still without moving his cane any millimeter, Bruno thought about that demon's words, it wasn't that pride filled his head, but he still had the confidence to be able to defeat that demon.
"I suppose if you put it that way, you just tried to kill me anyway, but… .." the coarse Bruno moved and touched S'ym's forehead. " Do you really have something that interests me? "
If before S'ym was afraid, now he was pure and absolute terror, the demon could feel his life hanging by a thread, his heart began to beat with each more force as his blood began to burn, the demon could feel it, the The human in front of him could kill him in the worst way in seconds.
"S'ym, yes ..." the demon thought that he had avoided death for the moment, but the test had begun.
This gave Bruno a chance, he really didn't want to have that ugly demon around, but it was a good opportunity to get to know Illyana a little more, if Bruno is going to live in this world, the best thing was to stay informed. And knowing if that girl was an enemy was important, especially since her identity was unknown to Bruno.
"Just tell me everything you know about Illyana, and I'll let you go, obviously I don't expect to see you again" was a fair deal, but depending on what Bruno hears, he might change his mind at the last moment, but that demon didn't have to know that. Withdrawing his staff, the white-haired mutant allowed the demon to breathe easy.
"Thank you powerful sir, S'ym will speak"
At that time S'ym began to tell the whole story, some points seemed questionable, and that demon was skipping important points, but S'ym did not seem smart, so Bruno was quite forgiving.
The story was new for Bruno, but the beginning went something like this: Magneto kidnapped Illyana, in order to blackmail his older brother, Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin. Since he was a mutant, he refused to go with magneto. Obviously this angered the king of magnetism, so he ended up murdering his parents and taking Illyana, who was strangely only 8 years old, a problem of continuity, which at the moment Bruno did not decide to mention that detail and continued to listen.
But this news reached Professor Charles Xavier, and immediately deployed his X-Men, and after following several leads, they managed to find where Illyana was imprisoned, and all that happened 3 days ago. But they didn't find Piotr.
The story continued, and this is where the twist came from, at this point Illyana's origin story is already brutal, but it was getting worse. Belasco has already been watching Illyana, because she had an extremely pure soul, something necessary for the plans of that demonic sorcerer.
So the same day that Illyana arrived at the mansion, Belasco opened a portal and kidnapped her. And it seems that in limbo time passes differently, and Illyana was trapped in that place for 6 years, in that course of time Belasco ripped off a piece of Illyana's soul, to create something, that S'ym could not remember That demon was a lousy storyteller, so from that point S'ym summed it up quite a bit, several things happened, Illyana learned sorcery, since she lost a piece of her soul, the demonic energy of limbo occupied that place, the years passed and somehow Illyana became quite powerful, and managed to defeat Belasco, but she did not kill him, and only exiled him from limbo, but Illyana left, and left limbo without sovereign, this was taken advantage of by Belasco to return .
"I guess I get the essence of that story, just barely, and it seems like Illyana has a brutal origin story, but now I have some interest in hearing the full story, so I guess it's all for now" Bruno understood that Illyana was not no enemy, but there is still a little problem.
"I'm sorry about what is about to happen, but you are a demon, you must have breakfast treason" Bruno could only make an awkward smile, when he raised his cane again.
"Mighty sir, you ...…." S'ym's words were never finished, because his head had been pulverized, only leaving his lifeless torso on the ground.
"That was a good warm-up, now let's look for the exit" now Bruno no longer had to look for an exit, he could make one, and he just had to blame that demon.
But, it was hard to believe that there were no security cameras in this place, and so Bruno tried to look like a good guy. There would be no problems in forcibly leaving this place, but the question was where would he go ?, it would really be premature to make any hasty decision, for the moment it was best to wait, and then go crazy if things get complicated.
With the plan done, Bruno resumed his way, but not without a little stumble, his head almost got caught when he jumped to return through the hole that fell, but a minor problem.
The mutant decided to get on with it, when he thought why Illyana did not come. The floor broke and made a lot of noise, and while Illyana didn't seem to care about his safety, she didn't seem like the one who let her problems affect others either.
"It is very likely that something has happened" Bruno's options were to help her, or continue on her way, "I suppose that a little more practice will help me", so he decided to make the most interesting decision.
//////////////////////////////////
"My dear girl, we meet again, because that face, I thought you would be happy to see me" a man with horns and a sorcerer's robe spoke calmly.
On the other side was Illyana, but now she only had a look of utter contempt. Her hands were extremely white from the pressure, and small drops of blood could be seen falling.
"Belasco spares you, and I just banished you, don't think I'll give you a second chance" Illyana raised her fists, and two balls of fire enveloped them.
"But how cute, you really think you could defeat me, last time you were lucky, but here you have no chance, you feed on limbo, being here you have no strength, and those unfortunate spells prove it" waving his hand, Belasco created a flurry of wind destroying Illyana's poor attempts to use magic.
But this did not matter, when Illyana connected a blow to Belasco's face. Pushing Belasco back a few steps, but his expression didn't flinch.
"My little snowflake" Belasco wanted to keep teasing, but Illyana raised her voice.
"Shut up, don't you dare call me that" but that was the boost Illyana needed, when she managed to regain strength to bring her weapon back.
Belasco's smile disappeared, remembering how dangerous that sword was. Magic circles appeared in his hands, and the ground began to shake.
Something surprised Illyana, and when she reacted she was on the ground, while some steel and concrete beams held her back.
"You shouldn't make this so difficult, but I suppose you still hold a little grudge against me," rancor was little, but a gag kept Illyana from ranting.
"But I don't come empty-handed, I know that your brother's whereabouts are unknown, but come with me and I can help you find him, the reunited family, that would be wonderful" like a snake, Belasco began to tempt Illyana.
For any other reason Illyana would refuse immediately, but when it came to her brother it was very different.
Belasco's smile widened when he saw his deceptions begin to work, "come with me, and I swear you'll see him again"
An internal struggle was formed within Illyana, but in the end, her brother's safety was more important. "I ... ... ..."
But all talk was cut short by the arrival of another person.
"Aren't you too old to try to pick up girls?"
Another chapter.
This time I will not only come to beg for some power stones, but also a small favor.
Do not expect so many people to be angry about the first chapter, so I will put aside shame once again, and ask for some help, and ask for it in the form of reviews, and if they are 5 stars or more, it would be better, ( I know there are no more than five stars) just to increase the score a little, XD.
