Human's, so fragile and paranoid, like little mice scurrying around in their makeshift homes. Terrified of anything bright and loud, even to the point that they're willing to turn on the only things that may be their savior. A smile curved faintly onto his face, he loved the contradictions they carried, like the fact that they were so paranoid of betrayal and subterfuge, that they often missed the threats right beneath their noses. They were nothing but toys for him most of the time, but he was no foolish predator, he knew quite well the strength that his toys, and sometimes his prey, actually had beneath their belts. They could be so vicious at times, so full of that hateful spite that they at times could even make a demon question themselves. Not he of course, no he would never question his state of things, his position amongst it all.<br/><br/>Sure he'd been thrown almost quite violently and suddenly from his position of power, and that was certainly troubling. In fact it was quite infuriating, having one's second in command take your power and attempt to kill you wasn't something that anyone took to well. He was first and foremost a dignified being, and as such, that affront upon his reputation and position he didn't take well too. Nevertheless he was resilient and he would bounce back. Of course when he took his place back where was intended to be originally, the bastard would bleed out at his feet, as would his co-conspirators. The true Demon Lord indeed, and what a fine mess of things he was making, what with the city in complete upheaval, weak as it was, yet so strong at the same time. Any real Demon Lord would have cast this city into ruin in it's current state, yet it remained standing.<br/><br/>He wasn't at all ungrateful for the cities state, he need it in one piece as it was. Human's were of course lesser beings but of course they had their uses, and especially their "specials" were of great use. Especially their lovely little werewolf, oh what a catch indeed she would be for him, if of course things went well. He knew plans had a way of falling to pieces, despite how carefully they were planned.<br/><br/>It was this statement that brought him back to his current predicament, the blasted computer didn't want to work for him. He sighed deeply, technology of the human variety he never did fully comprehend. It was of little concern of course, he had more than enough tricks up his sleeve. He slid the small drive from his pocket and pushed it into the machine. He watched as the intricate programming in it siphoned into the network, reworking the system beneath the alarm system's notice of course. He smiled an amused smile, yes some human's could be of such good use, he would have to make sure to reward this good work.<br/><br/>When the program was fully integrated he tapped at a few buttons and clicked around till he had found what he wanted, there she was, and my what heavy watch she had. Then again it was the lowest security time, so getting her out would be less of an issue right now. With the bit of knowledge he was given, as well as the aid of programming that was newly added, he was able to somehow loop the image throughout the network, 20 seconds of it was more than enough as their prisoner was basically doing the same thing as it was.<br/><br/>He smirked and resumed the computer back to it's initial state, and stood up straight. He fixed his collar and cuffs, adjusting the jacket as he stepped over the cooling bodies of the once vigilant security team. Opening the door he stepped out, making sure to pluck the security codes as he went along down the hallways. The faint sounds of the machinery and chatter of radios echoed down the halls as he walked. Considering the fact that he was trying to be as unnoticed as possible, he made sure to not make too much noise, yet his gait was his typical easy and assured manner.<br/><br/>He strolled past several doors, ignoring the few noises that emanated from them. When it came right down to it, humans were so easy to fool. It was a simple matter to lie his way around things, even throw in a bit of charm here and there. If those weren't working to his satisfaction then he would merely resort to the bit of Lust that coursed in his body. Though he preferred for the most part to use more subtle means, he was not lacking in the way of physical prowess and was skilled in several forms of combat. His least favorite was of course their silly firearms, but he knew well enough the damage those things could do, and so he made sure he was sufficiently skilled in them. All in all, he was a well prepared demon, though after nearly a millennium of existence on this plane he was sure he should be after all.<br/><br/>He read the nearby signs that they conveniently placed around the halls and realized he was in the right place. Normally he knew such places would be locked up tight, but as the whole section he was in was already a lock down section, he had little to fear in the way of that. When he reached the one door corridor he was looking for, he came across the expected guardsmen. He peered around the corner, taking note of the four guards around the door, each holding their share of weapons. He sighed, knowing that he should have known it would have been that easy.<br/><br/>He shrugged and walked around the corner, he smiled as they first noticed his approach and spoke to them, his voice masked as human, deep and rough, though the manner was soft and pleasant, "gentlemen, so good of you to hold her for me, but your task is over."<br/><br/>The expected reaction came as they began to move towards him. His eyes shifted for a moment, the briefest shine of gold beneath them as he waved his hand at the first man. The man lifted into the air and slammed into his compatriot, their two bodies slamming violently into the wall. The other two stared in disbelief at their comrades and that brief hesitation cost them. With another wave, the guns lifted away from the two still standing and flew through the air behind Adrian. They recovered quickly from that, and began reaching for their secondary weapons. He sighed and was in front of them instantly, retching the weapon way from the first and bringing his knee into his gut. He twisted around, wrapping his leg upwards into the other man's throat, a faint wet sound as he fell back clutching his throat.<br/><br/>He smirked and held onto the other man's head, he plucked the access card from the guard's vest and with a quick wretch of his arm, the man fell to the ground with only a loud snapping sound to before it. He heard a shuffling from behind him to see that one of the guards from before had managed to pick himself up up from the ground while his friend still struggled for consciousness. The standing guard was wrestling with a com-link on his jacket.<br/><br/>"Now now, no other guests, I'm not much in the mood for a party," his very voice carrying a smirk. He casually raised his hand and the power flickered briefly in his eyes, followed by a quick jerk of his hand. The man's head wretched around on his neck, every bone in his neck snapping loudly in the hallway's reverberating echo. He strode forward towards the other man who had managed to grab his knife, he plucked it from his hand easily and drove it across his throat with ease, making sure not to get any blood on his new suit.<br/><br/>He glanced around, each guard was dead, the one with the crushed throat had apparently either suffocated or had drowned in his own blood. He shrugged and walked over to the door, sliding the card into the reader that he had plucked earlier, and punching in the code that he needed. The door slid open and the lights of the room lit up slowly. He snorted in amusement, it was odd that they'd give her just that small luxury. It was then that he spotted her, and before he could make any obvious judgments on her, the smell hit him. To a human without demon blood, they would barely detect a thing, but that wouldn't make them exempt from it's effects. To him though, he could detect quite well exactly what it was.<br/><br/>He smiled, "well well my dear, you do smell lovely indeed, a good thing they've ventilated this place, otherwise the good boys and girls around here would have been in quite the position. Now how about we get out of here before they begin to discover that there is someone who is not where they are supposed to be now shall we?"
