Chapter 46 - A Chance Meeting

It is morning, and Eric is walking down the hallway of his house towards his room while Brandon, Christina, Agent X, Skate, "Inferno", May and Tank followed behind them. Brandon is not sure where he's leading them at this hour, and asks
"Hey Psy, what's the big idea?"
Eric reaches his hand for the doorknob and turns around, answering
"I've found something that'll not only ensure our victory, but also make our synchronization even better."
Christina merely asks
"What could do anything like that?"
Eric smirks, and replies
"See for yourself."
Eric opens the door to reveal 6 colored pillars with matching suits of battle armor in front of them. In the front, there was a white one, to the left, there was a gray one and a golden one. To the right, there was a light blue one and an orange one, and in the back, there was a purple one. Each of the heroes, except Inferno and Skate, walks slowly up to their pillar and suit, and they all notice the unique qualities of each suit. The white one has two green gloves and the letter "A" marked on it's helmet, showing that it was apparently Agent A's old battle armor. Eric continues
"These were the Agents' battle armor in their fight against the angels. I spent the night fixing them up."
Agent X remembered the battle, and looked behind her to see her brother, who had disappeared. As the heroes looked over their suits, Agent X asked Eric
"Eric, Where's my brother?"
Eric looks back but does not see him either, and replies
"I don't know. Where could he have gone?"




Agent Y is seen standing over a tombstone in front of the barn that he and She-Devil fought at. He thinks silently to himself, brooding slightly
("Thank you for sheltering me in the past, the least I could do is prevent more innocent lives like yours from being taken. Your death will not be in vain, Farmer Br-")
Agent Y stops when he hears rustling from the debris of the farmhouse behind him. He turns and walks towards it, asking
"Is anyone there?"
The rustling stops, and the little girl is seen falling out the front doors of the farm house in slow motion. Agent Y sees this, and immediately catches her in his arms as she falls. However, instead of dropping heavily, she floats gently into his arms like a feather. Agent Y holds her up, and sees that she is blushing intensely and passed out. He thinks this is peculiar, and looks into the farmhouse, but sees nothing but debris and hay. He decides to carry her into the farmer's home, and lay her on a soft bed until she wakes up. He thinks to himself as he opens the front door
("There's something oddly familiar about this girl.")
As he walks in, we can see older and taller versions of Agent Y and the girl in their places for a quick moment.



We can see that Agent Y is sitting in a chair in front of the bed, staring at the girl in the bed and he notices that she is a bit sweaty and her clothes are wet. Agent Y continues to think to himself
("What could she have been doing to pass out like that? Did someone do this to her?")
She moved a little in the bed and slightly revealed her shambled clothing. Agent Y could see her undergarments (holy crap, i'm using that word!?) and quickly covered his eyes. The girl woke up suddenly, and saw him holding his hand over his eyes. He heard this, and took his hand off, to see that the girl was now awake and he asked
"Who are you?"
The girl stood up from the bed and asked
"Who are you?"
The girl reached for her weapon in her back pocket, but noticed it was gone. Agent Y held up the sickle wrapped in the chain and asked her
"Looking for this? Seems you already want to fight."
The girl felt her heart pounding strangely, and slight stimulation. The seal on her chest was glowing red as she blushed, trying to hold an angry face, and replying
"I can't do much now, but I can take you out anyday. Mind handing that over?"
Agent Y tossed the weapon to her, and she caught it with less than ease. She unraveled it and immediately dashed at Agent Y with the sickle out. Agent Y stands, waiting, and catches the chain of the weapon, taking it out of her hands and throwing her against the side wall. She hits the wall roughly, and Agent Y holds her against it. He looks straight in her eyes, and asks her
"Tell me, just what do you want?"
She feels more stimulation from the seal as it continues flashing red more and more, but is able to ask him
"What I want isn't important. It's what my master wants, and what he wants, he gets."
Agent Y merely ignores the last remark, and she suddenly kisses him on the lips. He is a bit confused at this, until she lets go and feels her arms limp around his back. She whispers into his ear
"You can't stop what's already begun. Nothing can stop the horror that's coming to this world, and this town is its first casualty. I have to go, he can't wait for me any longer. Take this."
She lets her arms off of him and brings the kusarigama to her hand somehow. The girl puts it in his right hand and closes it with her soft palm. Their older forms can be seen once again, but disappear in an instant. A strange black vortex opens around her and she disappears inside it. Agent Y jumps back to avoid it, but knows what she was speaking about. Agent Y walks out of the house, saying to himself
"Obviously she doesn't know me that well."
Agent Y turns to look behind him, and could swear that for an instant he saw a glimpse of the future rising above the hill overlooking Evergreen City.





The girl appears in a large fiery room in front of a throne wherein a man wearing a black cape and sleek red hair begins to yell at her
"Treachery!? You of all people should simply do your job and report to me."
She simply stands in awe of the man, blushing, and still feeling the pain of the signal warning. The man simply walks over to her and asks
"What do you have to say for yourself?"
The girl cannot make out any words, but he continues
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to replace you."
She gulps, and says out loud
"Replace!?"
The man snaps his fingers, and the seal on her chest lights up an extremely bright red. She feels extremely intense pain and pleasure at the same time that she can barely stand. The man commands her
"Bow before me!"
She can only do what he says, and slowly bows as her legs give out. He grabs her chin and forces her to stare into his eyes, while she can only cry from the torture. He continues
"You will now be stripped of your powers and placed as a human until your time period is up. Then I will decide what to do with you."
She cries and gasps as the seal on her chest painfully burns off of her chest, as she says
"Yes...Master."
Another black vortex appears behind her, and the man lets go of her, throwing her into its depths. The man reclaims his seat at his throne, saying to himself
"A few nuts and bolts going haywire will not stop the next phase of my plan. You are merely a pawn in my plan, Grimm. Not even the Agents can stop me now, especially that meddling one."




Now, much later in the evening, She-Devil can be seen traversing the old, destroyed headquarters of Midnight and saying to herself
"Man, this place really went to hell."
She-Devil goes down the hallway and into the containment facility to see a teenaged girl with black hair wrapped in a black cloak, lying in the fetal position on the floor in front of her. She-Devil is confused at this but merely says
"Oh, this should be interesting."

Whew, that took a long while. I'm sure you like Grimm as much as I do, cuz she is such a cool character. She had to put up with Satan's "pleasure is pain" torture for a while and she gives into temptations so much because of it. I really wanted to signify her devotion to him and being rejected at the same time. and yes, Satan takes different forms depending on who he's dealing with.
