Chapter 8.

"I need to pee," said Pewds.

Sam, Aaron and Dark shushed him in unison. Pewds frowned like an unsatisfied kid.

They were creeping through the long hallway from the psych ward back to the elevator. One behind another they were pressed against the wall in the blind spots under the cameras which were scanning the whole area in front of them.

Pewds fingers tapped on Aarons shoulder. In front of him "I really need to go, seriously!" he hissed.

Aaron rolled his eyes and reached in front of him to touch Sams back.

"No stopping!" she hissed back and gestured Pewds she will cut his throat if he won't shut up.

Pewds growled and earned a slap from Dark behind him.

Thank god their noises didn't woke up the residents of this ward.

They reached the elevator safely. Suddenly a loud ding announced that the cabin has arrived to its destination. The door opened with a hiss followed by a bright light from the elevator.

Doctor Morrison and two heavily armed guys stared in shock to four squadding people frozen in action in front of them.

The doctor slowly opened his mouth at Sam, frowned ad Aaron and when his gaze traveled to Pewds and Dark behind them, he opened his mouth to a big O. Pewds tries to wave at him, Dark peeked behind Pewds and widely smiled. The doctor breathed in to shout.

His voice was muted by a thick black smoke that filled the whole elevator. Both guards yelped and a loud noise of a falling guns was heard.

The smoke thinned and Sam saw Pewds behind doctor Morrison, holding one of his hands behind doctors back with his second hand wrapped around doctors broad shoulders. Pewds was looking somewhere up, trying to navigate himself with hearing only.

Dark was squatting next to them with both guards on one pile, showing his sharp teeth and fighting with urge to eat them now.

"I am really sorry doctor," Sam got up from squatting and Aaron followed her move trying to hide behind her.

Doctor Morrison frowned, "I knew you would cause a trouble little Lady! But you, doctor Ash?! I would have never thought you have the guts to betray us..." his words were lost under Pewds hand covering his mouth.

Sam entered the elevator, "I am really sorry, doctor, but Anti... ehm...humanity is in a great danger and we have no time to lose. Aaron, the lobby please."

Aaron turned to push the elevator button down to the entrance.

"Dark!" Sam raised her voice at squatting black smoke monster leaning against two sleeping army guys. Dark raised his head to her, long tongue hanging from the open mouth like a hungry labrador. "You must wait for the dinner I am afraid," said Sam. Dark closed his mouth and yelped sadly.

"What do you want me to do with him?" asked Pewds, "I am not fond of holding this guy more than is needed. He is slobbing."

Sam looked into doctors eyes with excuse, then turned back to Pewds, "stun him."

Before doctor Morrison could blink he received a heavy hit to his temple and went limp in Pewds' hands who put him on the pile in the corner.

The receptionist in the lobby tried to call the police when she saw the group that get off the elevator. A black smoke scurried through the long room and she disappeared under her desk. She was holding herself from screaming when Dark was sitting on her. He put his finger on his lips in a soothing motion. Then he looked around and when nobody was watching he parted his mouth full of spiky teeth from ear to ear and slowly leaned near to her face. The receptionist gulped.

"There you are!" Samanthas hand showed above the table and caught Darks reddish hair in a firm grip, pulling him up by them, causing him to scream in pain and stand up.

"I told you once! Stop messing around, you will have your share after the fight."

Sam was unpersuadable. Aaron was still surprised how the hell she convinced them to cooperate with her and she was commanding and hurting them and they still acted like her loyal pets. He turned to Pewds. He opened his mouth and raised a hand trying to command him but the look Pewds gave him with his white eyes looking somewhere behind his left shoulder made him gulp and look away. She is probably the same lunatic as them, that's why she is so calm near them.

They went out and stood there in horror. Mostly Sam and Aaron by the way. Dark and Pewds were shielding their eyes from the direct sunlight, that shined on them from between the clouds.

The streets were full of empty cars. There was a faint sound of sirens in the distance.

The sky was dark and full of clouds that were fastly floating near the center of the city.

"What happened here?" asked Aaron and his voice echoed in the silent city. He quickly lowered his voice, "is she here already?" he whispered.

"I feel nothing," shrugged Dark.

"I feel something," breathed Pewds and everybody turned to him. "I feel that I really need to pee right now!"

"Somebody hit him please," rolled eyes Sam.

"With pleasure," Dark grinned.

***************

Those two were jouncing all the way through the city.

They traveled through the empty streets and avoided a few packs of heavily armored soldiers and one tank with three war cars with machine-guns on them. It seemed like they evacuated at least a half of the residents out of the city.

But why? Is she really here?

Dark growled and at the same time Pewds covered his head with hands.

"She is here," they said in unison, cringing as they were talking.

"Where exactly?" asked Sam silently. Aaron stood back to back to her and scanned around them.

Sam sat on the ground near the crouching demons and held them by their shoulders "you must show me where she is. Then we can think about some plan. It will be ok. I promise you."

"I think I know where she is," gulped Aaron.

Sam turned and followed his gaze.

They saw a quickly forming tornado in the middle of the street not far away from where they were. They also saw a few forgotten people running away from that place. The concrete started trembling under their feet.

Sam helped Pewds and Dark on their feet. They seemed scared and it was hard for them to move even an inch closer to the events on the main boulevard.

"I don't think this was a good idea to come here, guys," whispered Aaron, when they slowly and carefully entered the main boulevard of their city.

In the middle of the wide street there was a quickly growing column of a dark clouds, flying cars and screaming people caught in there. The concrete was slowly but steadily peeling off the ground beneath it.

There were soldiers too. They evacuated the whole area and now they just sat there around the not-moving tornado at a safe distance behind their tanks or cars, pointing every gun at the center of that giant natural phenomenon.

In all of that chaos inside was Lady in a black dress, hovering few meters above the ground, hands outstretched and looking up at her creation of disaster. Anti was nowhere to be seen.

"So? Here we are," whispered Dark, "what is your genius plan, little Lady?" he asked hidden with others behind a overturned car on the edge of the boulevard safely from the sight of the soldiers.

Sam gulped. This looked worse than she thought. Only thing that mattered to her was A) stop deaths of innocent and B) save Anti. She was not thinking about that plan any further.

"We...ehm..." she started but stopped. Guys looked at her. "We take her down, imprison her and rescue Anti...and save humanity in the middle of that."

"THAT is your plan?" yelped Pewds.

"We thought you have some ace in your sleeve little Lady!" growled Dark, "I could be miles away from here by now!"

Sam turned to them, "You are two the most powerful beings here on our planet and you worry about a little Lady that holds your friend captive?"

Both demons bowed their heads.

"She can crush us with her pinkie when she sees any misbehaving. We escaped from her claws once and she wants us back. We had problems and we had to leave everything behind while escaping. I don't think we can defeat her before she captures us." mumbled Pewds

Sam felt silent, thinking about their possibilities. Then she glimpsed a nearby pharmacy. It was nicely out of the sight in one small alley, but in a nice position for a sneaky attack.

"Is she resistant to drugs?" Sam asked.

Both demons shook their heads and looked at each other. "She was here on the Earth in like 260 b.c. and she was not having so much as we had, so maybe not?" shrugged Dark.

Sam quickly turned to a pharmacy nearby, "Now your medical knowledge will show up, Aaron."

Aaron gulped loudly.
