Nightshift 31: Experimental Treatments Laboratory
[Coming from here.]

Daemon stepped into the next room and quickly shone his light around the room. There were beds here, seemingly empty, and his light illuminated tables between the beds, a desk against the far wall, and a cabinet set between two other closed doors off to their right.

"Finally, perhaps something interesting," he spoke to Lucivar and Saetan. "Lucivar, check the cupboard over there. I'll see if there's anything useful in the desk. Father, if you'll see to the tables between the beds?" he spoke, already moving forward to the far end of the room.

"Keep alert, it's a little too quiet around here."

Lucivar felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up as he walked into the room. There was something in the air, a tension that just made his skin crawl and his back itch where his wings should have been. He gave a curt nod as he walked over to the cabinet, clenching and unclenching his fist as he half expected something to pop out at him.

He opened the cabinet and had to squint as the only light was from Daemon's flash light. "Some sort of syringes," he grunted, pulling a few out and uncapping one of the needles. "Empty though I doubt such a tiny pinprick will work as a suitable weapon."

Shadows moved beneath the bed. They flowed and twisted until a shape was clear between the beds. It was dark black and mottled gray, blending into the darkness and difficult to see. There seemed to be no eyes on it, and when it moved its outline was almost canine. Lean and long. But its flesh was rotting and sickly, it had no fur, and its front legs ended in single, large claws that looked more like scythes than anything natural.

One could only wonder if it had a mouth in its deformed, eyeless head.

Something caught at the corner of Saetan's vision as he moved to check out the tables by the beds. "Don't dismiss those little pricks," he told Lucivar, and started to say, "Even--"

But he stopped and stared at the canine form. "We have company." As if they couldn't see for themselves. He backed off so the three of them could try to face this enemy together. He liberated one of his pens from the confines of his journal and held it at the ready like a knife.

Feeling a shiver tingle down his spine in warning, Daemon had spun around the moment the shadows started to move, his gaze going to the... thing emerging from beneath the beds even as Saetan called a warning to them.

Thinking quickly, he grabbed to wheeled stool from beneath the desk and rolled it towards his brother. The Eyrien was closer and could intercept the thing faster than he. "Lucivar, here!" he called the warning as he sent the stool rolling across the tile to his brother, even as his golden eyes searched the room for something he could use as a weapon besides the pens he was equipped with as well. He laid eyes on the metal tables placed between each of the beds before debating the distance and beds still separating him and the creature.

Knowing he could be of little help unarmed, he broke into motion, vaulting over the closest bed to him, the last in the row of six, and reached for the small table. It was unwieldy, but it would do.

The stool slid to his side as he caught sight of the creature emerging from the darkness. Lucivar smiled and calmly replaced the syringe in the cabinet and picked up the stool. This was what he had been waiting for. All of his rage and anger was focused on the creature and he rose to the killing edge. The muscles in his back flexed and in his mind his wings were spread, appearing like a menacing demon approaching his prey.

"So you're the first," Lucivar growled, taking a step towards the creature hoping to have all of it's attention directed to him. "Let's see how dangerous you truly are."

The creature did have a mouth. A gaping maw full of razor sharp teeth. It snarled like a canine, attention turning to Lucivar. It seemed a simple thing, easily distracted and drawn to one prey.

It leapt, mouth open, front legs extended to rake down into flesh with those scythelike claws.

Saetan mostly gave his better-armed son room and looked for something to better arm himself. Lucivar had disdained them, but Saetan thought the syringes could be very useful, especially if he could find something nasty to put into them. He kept one eye on the fight in case Lucivar and Daemon actually needed his help, and started to rummage through the cabinet. He took several syringes and started reading the labels of various bottles to see what choices he had for filling them.

"Be careful, Lucivar," Daemon called the warning, even as he rounded the end of the bed towards his brother. "I've heard injuries from certain things in this place can have nasty side-effects."

The thing leapt for Lucivar and his fist tightened about the small metal table he held, restraining himself from rushing in. Lucivar could fight, and he couldn't risk getting in the Eyrien's way, not yet.

Besides, his brother would no doubt be pissed at him if he spoiled Lucivar's chance at a good fight.

Lucivar was more then careful. He took a step back and to the side, watching the razor sharp claws before swinging the chair, aiming for the creature's legs. He wanted to break them and get rid of it's main weapons before turning the chair on it's head. Lucivar didn't necessarily want a fast kill but he didn't want to waste too much time killing the creature. They were looking for weapons, after all.

The creature took the chair in its side and twisted, snapping out with its vicious teeth to try and latch on to its attacker's arm.

Not finding anything useful or interesting to put in his little syringes, Saetan shoved a few between the pages of his journal with the pens. He picked up a beaker, one of the larger ones, and tested its heft. If Lucivar wasn't in such close range, he'd break it against the wall first, but for now he'd settle for it hitting and perhaps breaking against the creature. Saetan threw the beaker at the creature's head as hard as he could without resorting to his meagre reserve of Craft.

Daemon circled around behind the monster, golden eyes narrowed as he watched for an opening, appearing cool and calm and composed as his instincts guided his movements.

AS the thing lunged for Lucivar snarling and snapping at the Eyrien's arm, Daemon brought the small metal table around in a forceful arc, aiming it at the monsters hindquarters.

Lucivar easily abandoned the chair to jump back and away from the creature, it's jaws snapping much too close for comfort. "Fiesty," Lucivar laughed, not denying that he was having fun. He caught his father's movements out of the corner of his eye and he ducked, making sure he wasn't struck by whatever it was that Saetan had thrown.

"Watch it's legs," Lucivar shouted to Daemon, reaching for one of the small tables between the beds, needing some other weapon should the creature come after him once more.

This was no simple creature, no common area monster, as easily distracted as it seemed. It twisted as it sensed danger, the table catching it a glancing blow - there was a groaning sound from the wound, such as wood straining. The sound it made was a mix of animal pain and anger. It whirled, growling and snarling at Daemon.

Seeing that his throw had little effect, Saetan selected another beaker, also large, and broke it against the wall to have a sharp edge. Then he moved closer, to support the younger males better.

"Mother Night," Daemon muttered as he backed away from the creature that had now turned towards him, wondering at the sounds that had come from the thing. That was almost as horrible as the sight of whatever this misshapen creature was. Was this place responsible for that as well?

He kept the table between him and the creature, relieved at its length and awkward bulk this time as he pushed it forward to prod at the creature, trying to keep its attention on him long enough for the others to get in an attack.

"Be careful," he called, sensing his father circling in. "Its reach is probably longer than ours is."

Lucivar grabbed one of the spare tables and moved around to the other side of the creature creating a circle around it with his father and Daemon. "It has no idea what it's up against," Lucivar said, snarling back at the creature. "I've seen jhinkas scarier then this."

He pulled his table back and swung, this time aiming to bash the creatures head in.

It was surrounded. The creature dropped low, snarling and spitting. It couldn't decide which of the three to attack, and so it backed away, trying to avoid injury itself. But it couldn't move completely out of range of the table, and it angled its body as the piece of furniture came down. The loud crunching of bones echoed through the room as the monster's shoulder took the brunt, shattering, misshapen and useless now as the creature stumbled and howled in pain.

Growling a bit, Saetan crouched low and slashed his makeshift weapon, broken glass edges glittering in what light there was in the room, toward where the creatures throat would be if it had one. It was hurt already. He only hoped to distract or disable it more so Lucivar, who seemed almost feral in his bloodlust, could finish it.

The noises the thing made sent eerie shudders down Daemon's spine as it howled in pain from Lucivar's blow. He wanted to put the thing out of its misery, not to mention get rid of the threat to the three of them, so he aimed another powerful swing at the back of the thing's head while its attention was turned on his brother.

Lucivar was fueled by the sound of crunching bones, pulling the table up before slamming it down once more. All of his anger was being channeled into his blows. He was riding the killing edge, letting his rage consume him and unleashing the temper of a warlord prince on the creature. There were too many things he had to accept here. The loss of his jewels, his wings, and his family were too much. This poor creature would feel all of his pain. Lucivar would make sure of that.

The creature seemed to fall beneath the onslaught, but even in its dying throes, it strove to inflict some damage. It was a powerful thing, and to die without leaving a single mark on any of its prey was unheard of. It's scythe-like claws slashed out, it's teeth snapped, seeking any flesh to sink into, to tear, to rip....

Saetan fell back, deliberately sacrificing balance and dignity for speed. He landed hard on his butt, but out of the reach of the teeth and claws. As he rose to his feet again, he kept away from the fray.

Seeing his father fall - for whatever reason - fueled Daemon's own rage, and he slammed the legs of the metal table down around the thing's head, pinning it to the ground, trapping the snapping teeth between the four metal poles. He snarled, being careful of flailing claws, but just as frustrated and determined as his brother, even if for other reasons.

Enough people had been hurt already. For once, he wanted to pass a night without seeing someone harmed by this damned place.

Lucivar let out an eyrien war cry as he, too, slammed his table hard down on the creature again and again. Metal rang out as his table clashed with Daemon's. He didn't want to stop until all that was left was blood and the sound of the metal smashing against the ground.

The creature seemed to be little more than pulp now. It didn't even smell quite right. "I think... it's done. What else can we find in here?" Saetan still felt a strong tension because of the fight, over his sons being in danger. Even the scent of their rage thrown into the mix made rationality difficult, and he knew he was the one to hang onto it.

He held his makeshift glass weapon back against his chest and looked between the other two.

"Lucivar, it's dead!" Daemon interrupted his brother, who was still panting heavily. What was left of the monster - which wasn't much - was splattered across the tiled floor, and Daemon released his hold on the dented table he'd wielded and staggered back to sink down on one of the beds, out of breath himself.

"Mother Night."

Lucivar gave the creature one last pummeling with his chair before tossing it violently to the side. It was only then that he felt the burning pain in his arm. He cursed loudly as he saw a long slash down his forearm. Lucivar grabbed one of the sheets on the bed and tore it into a long strip before beginning to wrap it around his arm.

"Where do we find more like this one?" He asked, eager to go on fighting. "I'm anxious to put a second creature into the ground."

"I recommend we look for better weapons first. We weren't quite done looking through this room when it appeared." Lucivar's need for more fighting didn't surprise him. It was getting to where little here surprised him, but he knew his sons better than he knew their surroundings. Saetan went back to the one cabinet, trying to decide if more syringes would be a good idea to take.

That sterile feeling seemed to seep into this room too. There were several beds here, unoccupied, as well as a desk and cabinet. The cabinet was open, which more than likely meant that someone had raided it already.
