Doce crossed her arms and frowned.<span style="font-style: italic">Well this is fucked up,</span>she thought.<span style="font-style: italic">He acts exactly like the real Hellmaster. Could there really be another person in there? Perhaps they've been stuck this way for a long time.</span>The kid from earlier was throwing some sort of coniption, but she didn't have time to deal with that right now. Among the other strange things to happen in the last half-hour, Phibrizzo seemed to be offering her dictatorial powers over his death orbs. That was huge. On the other hand, he owed her his life.<br/><br/>Regardless of whether it was actually Phibrizzo, or some other soul trapped in his body, this person was just as murderous and unstable. Masahide made the mistake of interrupting him in the middle of what seemed to be a good mood. Of course the demon lord flipped out and made a display of his powers. "Yes, that is exactly what a monster lord can do... sort of. Each one has different special powers. If Lord Hellmaster crushes that little yellow marble, that means instant death for his target. After that... you belong to him: mind body and soul. They are playthings." She wanted the others to understand just how dangerous their enemies (and their allies) were. Phibrizzo was not one to be rubbed the wrong way if you could help it.<br/><br/>Soul had been offered a place in the party, but if he really wanted it, he'd have to keep up. Phibrizzo was leaving and Doce followed soon after. "That is not what I meant," She said when she had fallen into stride next to him. She was referring  to the answer the Hellmaster had given her for the question she'd asked. "I have no reason to question why<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>is<span style="font-style: italic">your</span>enemy. What I want to know is why<span style="font-style: italic">you</span>are suddenly<span style="font-style: italic">his</span>. What did you do to get on his bad side? You were comrades only moments ago. Also, you were warning us not to go back to the fortress, so where are you taking us now?"
