Grimm looked around at the T5 motherdrone, now leading the T5 bots in their attacks.
"Crap."
He looked around again and saw the human footsoldiers storming the battlefield.
"Rose, who are these guys and where the hell did they come from?"
"These are the humans held captive by Naecken when he took over the base. We have to free them." Rose answered back on the mental link.
"Crap! Ok, somebody get on that."
"We're on it." an unknown voice answered along the mental link.
Who the hell was that? Grimm thought to himself. At that moment, another loud rumbling was heard from Naecken's fortress
"It's begun!" Aelous' voice sounded on the link.
"What's begun? What? What?!" Grimm asked.
"The portal to hell! It's open!"
and with those words, the demon army of Lord Kwaiziel poured forth from the open entrance to Naecken's fortress.
"CRAP!" Grimm said again.
"Grimm, are you gonna do something, or just stand there and yell "crap!" all day?!" Phil said over the link.
"Oh, I'm gonna do something, all right. . ." Grimm pulled his axe out of the scabbard and charged forth into the oncoming army. "Vanguard!. . .GET 'EM!"
"Greem is no being one for long speeches." Blackwulf said before jumping into the fray.
*********************
Vengeance slammed into Naecken full force, knocking him to the floor. Vengeance's bike hit the ground running and rammed into one of Naecken's demons. Not stopping, the bike encircled the two inhuman combatants, preventing any demons from aiding their master. Kristogar held a hand to his throat as he struggled to regain his breath. Phil Smith fired round after round into the oncoming fiends, not really accomplishing much. "Dammit. . .this wasn't part of the plan. . " he said to himself.
"Worry not, small one!" A large arm blasted several of the demons back with a swipe of a huge hammer. "The Pantheon still stands." Arges took another swipe with his mighty axe, beheading several demons and sending dark ichor spraying.
"You seem familiar, newcomer. You have the stink of angels on you. . ." Naecken said, dodging a strike from Vengeance's fiery blade. "Aye, you know me, fiend. I have battled you across many lifetimes, Kwaiziel." Vengeance's red helmet briefly turned transparent, showing the once handsome, now irrevocably scarred face of the angel Leshi Un. "I died, attempting to remove your stain permanently in Uraguay. Today, It ends, one way or another." Vengeance's helmet returned to transparency.
"Oh, indeed it will, most hated of foes." Naecken briefly touched the area where his arm had been severed in the caverns in South America. He turned and fired a burst of hellfire at his foe as Vengeance vanished in a mist. "GRRRRAAAGGHHH!!! Fight me, you coward!" Naecken screamed right before Vengeance's bike screamed into life again, ramming into him from behind.
Vengeance gunned the bike, carrying Naecken through the fortress, riding effortlessly across the floors of ice. Vengeance hit the brakes, sending Naecken flying into the wall. Vengeance pressed a switch as the front end of his bike reconfigured into a battering ram. He drove forward again, slamming into the wall, missing Naecken by inches.
"Ahhahahahahahah. . ." the demon lord laughed, firing off another burst of hellfire. The fire hit the wall next to Vengeance, releasing a burst of steam, temporarily blinding the Spirit. Naecken shot forth, tackling his foe and knocking him off of his metal steed.
