It has been a few days, since the demon's attack and Noob Saibot, Ermac, and Lazari. The Trio have been looking for a new place to be in, with having to feed his arms to Lazari on one occasion whenever she was getting very hungry. Thankfully, he hasn't been infected with the virus, as days have past, and no sign of the infection is seen. After a little while, they came across an abandoned church, which the group decided to do. Ermac was reluctant, because of his souls inside his body having an experience with something as a church before.

But after a little bit of convincing, even claiming that no one will be inside, he agreed, and the both of the settled inside it. Lazari seemed to get along with Ermac, due to the fact that like Lazari, he needs to consume souls to make himself stronger, although, yes, he does need him to keep himself nourished. But she hangs around with Noob more for some reason, due to the fact that, I'm her own words: 'you look cool!'

Even Noob himself doesn't know why, but he accepts it. Ermac has been continuing with the axe, as he's been practicing with Noob to sharpen his skills, although that, along with how the weapons...you know.

Anyway, Saibot has been practicing more on his use of Shadow Clones in order to try and make more, in case he needs to fight against more enemies than what he will be expecting, as well as restrain any fire that dares attack him.

However, Noob was still convinced that the demons aren't going to stop until he gives in and bows before Zalgo. So he is finally deciding that if they can't accept the fact that he want's nothing with them, than he will have to make sure they take the hint, painfully.

Although he was not much of a person that is social to other people, and prefers to work alone, he decided to at least tolerate the people that he's with.

But strangely, despite being a loner, he seems to get along reasonably well with Lazari, and would never refuse to have his arm as food for her to eat fast. Although he has to make sure that the infection doesn't spread, and must cut off the skin of his shoulder quickly and wash his bones to get rid of any possible form of infection present.

However, his mind is still being bothered. The way Lazari describes this so-called Lulu...it felt so familiar to him. He has no idea why. He just knows that there is something really familiar when it involved Lulu herself, even though Noob has never met her.

Right now, Noob is outside, and has hid their presence with something he was taught at doing by the thing that made him the Shadowy Wraith he is. He was taught to make a magic circle that was powerful enough to hide there scent an their aura also, with only Zalgo bypassing it.

It took a little while for him to do, but eventually, he was able to make a large magic symbol on the ground, and has now hid them from outside, except minus, you-know-who.

However, Noob will at times scout the area out, and made sure that no demon gets to close and unintentionally goes inside of the church. Here, he acts as a guard that is making sure that no form of mistakes happen. Which is why he tends to make sure that no one comes inside of the church and sees them. If they do, the best he'll do a kill them.

While looking, he feels like he's being watched. He turns...and saw a pair of horns going down.

"Hmm?"

He than followed the horns, as he looked down. He saw a humanoid figure, and is running, fast. Wasting no time, he made a portal, jumped in, and began to run at the figure.

"Come turn back and face me, or die running away!"

The figure, however, was much faster than even himself. So he has to use portals to catch up. He even made a portal above her head and tried to stab her in the head with his Sickle, but he missed, and the female bolted much more faster.

After about a few minutes of running and portal hopping, Noob realized that the figure is trying to bait him somewhere. However, he has a feeling of the one place that the figure might be.

He made a portal, and jumped to the ground. He than landed inside of a strange building with conveyor belts, rusted pipes, broken glass, etc.

The location somewhat resembles an abandoned factory of some sort, as he looked around to see it one last time. While usually preferring to stay there, he had encounters other Demons who wanted to take him to Zalgo himself. So he came here, just to see if another will come and find him.

As he walked inside, he heard something. He turned, but saw no one. But Noob knows that this is rather very suspicious.

"There might be that Demon that is inside with me...the one that was spying me from behind my back. Yes...I can feel them."

As he looked around, he heard crashing of equipment from behind him. He turned...but sees no one. This is really making him confused on what it is that's here. Although he is also unimpressed by how it is failing to be sneaky.

As he turned back around, he was able to move out of the way of what seemed to be 3 black bended spikes coming towards his face.

The entity before him resembles a female, but has black legs with a single above her feet, making her stand on her toes. She has a single mouth just under her thigh, as well as a mouth above her arm. Her arms are also black with claws for her fingers. She also has black horns curved somewhad like Goat horns. But she has a mask, so he can't see what she looks like under it. He can't even make out what her face is like.

Noob simply stares at the demoness before him, as he than spoke out to it.

"Who are you...and what do you want?"

The female didn't move, and simply spoke out to the Shadowy Wraith.

"My name is Stripes. I want you to come with me to my father."

Noob was unseemly angry, as he spoke out.

"I serve only the Shadows, Stripes. Nothing else."

Stripes moves slightly, as if ready to charge towards him. Noob prepares to get out his Sickle for a fight.

"You will come with me and go to my father."

Although it sounded calm, it sound like she is ready to take his heart out.

"And if I refuse?"

Stripes made a 'Hmph' sound, and through the glasses, she looks like she's a predator to a prey. With Noob as the prey all by himself.

"I'm a very persuasive person..."

Saibot than took out his sickle, as he spoke back to her.

"So am I, Stripes."

Both Noob and Stripes stare at each other, before charging at full speed, towards the other, ready to make sure they can be persuaded...through the action in fighting.

Stripes made her first move, as she tried to swing her right claw at Noob, who counters by swinging his sickle in his right as well, as both attacks clashed and made sparks lay out.

Stripes than attacked with much faster ferocity. While Noob is powerful, he isn't fast unless when using portals. But Stripes, in a way, is stronger and faster than even Noob.

Stripes than did multiple claw strikes at Noob, who is using his sickle to defend against the fast strikes of the demoness. Noob than made a portal under him, as he went through it, and use it to try and attack from behind. However, Stripes noticed the sound of the portal opening, and than jumps away, as Noob went through and fired out like a bullet.

When Noob hits the ground, he turned and tries to attack, but Stripes was able to lay her hands on him first. She claws him at the face, than at the chest, and than where the eyes are at. She than kicked him hard to make a crater at a wall that his behind him. Thankfully, his wounds are healing. So he's still good enough to fight against the Demoness.

She than tried to charge at him, but Noob phases through the wall's shadow, and went out of another shadow, as Stripes turns around to try and find Noob's location. As Noob blends in with the shadows, it makes him an excellent person at camouflage.

As Stripes turned his back on Noob, he took the initiative, and jumped in the air to try and stand Stripes from behind her back. But Stripes saw his shadow, and moved out the way, although Saibot did nick her in the arm, near her mouth that is on it.

She did a downward slash with her feet, and it stabbed Noob in the arm. The Shadowy Wraith only groaned a bit, but he grabbed Stripes' leg, and threw her at a wall. He than went forward and charged at her, tackling her through the walls of the complex building, before pushing her at the last wall, sending her back about 15 feet away.

Noob Saibot than took her by surprise, and made a portal under him.

He than came out of another portal behind her, and as Stripes turned around, he stabbed her in the middle of her torso, and threw her down.

But Stripes was much tougher than she looked, because she began to stand back up, with only some minor tiring, as her wounds began healing. She looked and glared at Noob, as he walked over to her with little tiring.

The female demon than spoke out.

"You are very stubborn, just like another person that I manage to persuade. And yet, you are very annoying compared to him."

Stripes than stood up, and she than charged at Noob, who does the same. But than, Noob did another thing that's unexpected.

Noob than made a shadow clone in front of him, as he went through a portal.

The Shadow Clone than tackled Stripes, as Noob came out of another portal, and than charged at Stripes. He than proceeds to kick her in the back of her had very hard, as the shadow clone has suddenly disappeared. But as Noob presses his foot down on her head, and than proceeds to stab her in the back, a mouth on her back suddenly appeared, and bit on the hook.

"What the...this again?"

This is the second time he has to deal with it. First, with the demon from a few days ago, when they tried to take Lazari, and now, this here.

He than tried to take the hook out again. But it is like before. The mouth has one iron bite. Than, she punched Saibot hard in the stomach, as she stood up. The weapon fell to the ground. She grabbed it, and swung it at him. But Noob than ducked, as he used a shadow clone to grab onto it. Noob stood up, as he grabbed his Sickle, and placed it back to its position. He than looked at Stripes, who seemed less tired than he is.

"Admit your defeat. You can never escape from your capture from my father."

Stripes than took a stance, as she prepares to do what Noob might do next.

Noob Saibot, not wanting to keep on fighting, than decided to do another option in mind. He used his powers to create a Shadow Clone.

He used the clone in order to charge at the demoness that is attacking him. The Shadow Clone took his sickle and is now ready.

Both Stripes and the Clone than fight against each other, with Noob himself making a run for it. He than made a portal, and than he was gone for good.

The Shadow was also gone, and Stripes looked around for Noob, but saw he's gone.

"I'm sorry, father. I failed you."

Than, a shadowy figure was seen behind her, as the figure than spoke out.

Stripes nodded, as she turns into a random direction, in order to search for Lazari once more.
