(((I forgot to mention another bit...)))
The demons came in a big swoop and finished off the already injured foes into a state of unconciouseness again (Doc, TPot and Nicki) then carried them off. They also carried Jessy and Rory off with them as well.
Maya, Josh and Zeroc already had their hands full with me, and so weren't able to stop them.

I saw the humans get carried away by the demons, so I decided to release another secret to the humans. As the demons flew I yelled out to them "TARICNA, SURANA TARIMUS CHUCARALIA!!!!" they stopped.
Jurag, Maya and the other human turned around to me in shock.
I continued, "SERIMA HARAN CURABB!!!!" and pointed at Jurag...
The demons put the humans down and chased after Jurag as I pulled Maya and her human friend out of the fray. "You spoke to them..." Maya said in shock
"Yes" I replied "I can speak demon"
"But how?" she asked
"being an undead for 1200 years teaches you some tricks you need to know and an ally of the undead is the demons... I had to learn their language to comunicate with them." I said and realised that the other human (Joshua) didn't hear me. I whispered to her, "You must not tell anyone, ok?"
By now, the demons and Jurag were well out of sight adn Josua was tending to the other human's needs which is where me and Maya headed to next.

I stood up in a daze, hardly noticing the pain in my stomach. I walked over to the soul-sabre in the rock and, as and ant, began to quickly knaw away at the rock. As the soul sabre became loose, I caught it up in my now human hand and threw it to Doc who had now regained conciousness. Then I collapsed again.

I looked around groggily and crawled over to Jessy who looked in pretty bad shape. Placing a hand on her stomach I closed my eyes and let my power spill out into her, gently waking her as she looked at me
'What are-?'
'We need your kickass demon killing techniques, now I'm going to do the same thing to Rory and then I'm going to pass out so I want you two to be like the fiercest animals ever okay?'
'Did you heal me?'
'Kind of... I gave you some of my power and my energy. You feel that? That's wiccan and you can use that combined with the animal to kill as many of those suckers as possible now scoot'
I worked my way over to a half concious Rory and did the same thing, watching as he woke up and giving a short nod
'Jessy will explain everything I promise. And I'm Nicki by the way, I don't think we've met... Now go'
I watched as they ran off and gradually fell back into black.

"Hmm, so that's Nicki," I mused as Jessy approached. She explained about the wiccan and then turned on me.
"Why on earth didn't you tell me?" I suddenly remembered the way she'd discovered my deepest secret.
" Tell you?" I said incredulously.
"Yeah!"
"Tell you that I love you and have always done since we met?"
"Well when you put it like that... Um Rory?"
"Yes?"
"Demons. Fight. Now."
"Oh, right." And then we layed into the demons and with the added power in our veins it was possible to shift into things that would normally have drained us of energy with perfect ease as well as a small radiation of animal rage which burnt demon flesh with a sickening smell.

"Sorry to break it to you." I said to Zeroc, "But lotsa people can speak demon languages, and there's a helluva lot more than one. In fact, most demons speak human languages, it just keeps things simple. Yo, Doc, You ok?"
He nodded stiffly. I looked Joshua over, but nothing needed to be said- he was ok.
"I'm gonna check on Nicki- keep the demon dudes away from us?"
"Sure thing." He replied, as i ran to Nicki's side.
"Come on, girl." I murmured, once again trying to revive her.

Jessy and I broke off from crushing demons and ran over to Nicki. Maya was trying to revive her but there was no luck so far. Maya suddenly realized we were thereand asked us, in some blunt words, to please go back and keep the demons away fron Nicki. Both of us hurried back to the fray.

I sat on the ground next to Nicki, and held her hands, closing my eyes and hoping the others would keep the demons away. I did as Willow had taught me, channelling the earth's energy through me into Nicki to heal her.
[come on Nicks, we need you here.] I thought.

[...Nicks...Need...Here]
I opened my eyes and smiled as Maya's face swam into view
'Is it over?'
'Uh no. Far from actually, which is why I'm healing your butt so we can once again save the day'
Slowly standing up I noticed Rory and Jessy at work and then looked back at Maya
'Where do I start?'

As the demons began to swarm around Maya and Niki the demons went up in flames, "She okay?" I asked as I walked over.

After helping the rest of the humans up, I ran to Maya for a second and whispered to her, "No, do you not understand? I meant the part about allies, I used to be allied with demons..." The rest I let her decide for herself...
I saw the humans start to run after and fight the demons and yelled out as loud as possible "STOP!!"
They all looked in confusion "why? the're going around destroying things! And your telling us to stop?" one of them asked me
"There is no use!! Once you 'kill' a demon, you send it to the Netherworld, where they are trapped for all eternity!" I proclaimed
"So?" another asked
"One of the portals to the Netherworld has been opened and is still open, that means that every demon that you kill will only come out of that portal again, refreshed, and fight again! There isno use, we must close the portal first or they will out-number us!!" I told them
After saying that, the demons that had just been splattered, burned or killed in another way came to us again, ready to fight.
"Then where IS this portal?" one of them asked,
"At this present point in time, I don't know, but we can follow where the demons are coming from and find it, then all we have to do is figure out how to close it!" I explained to them. They continued to fight the demons and demons continued to re-appear and we followed the trail of where they were coming from until we ended up in a club. On the wall, was a portal, with fresh demons coming out of it and demons guarding it.
"Now what do we do?" One of the humans whispered to me.
"I know that it does not take normal magic to close Netherworld portal, I only know of two types of magics that will close it, but they will not be easy to obtain!"
"What are they?" The same human asked
"Either powerful demon magic, from a demon ruler, but I doubt any demons would want to give us magic that will close the door to their freedom, and the other is..."
"What?" the human asked, now growing impatient.
"the other is... Undead overlord magic..."

"Dude, i dont know what century you're living in, but i know one thing about magic- its all connected. Its this big thing. See, the magic comes from the earth-all magic- demon, undead or whatever you said, it all comes from the same place, so anyone who can channel it, and control it, can use it.
"Maya..." Joshua began, knowing what i was suggesting.
"We dont close it, demons keep coming." I cut him off, "You know i have a serious problem with calling in big bad guys to deal with our problems- which means we have to do it."
"You cant do it on your own." He said.
"An' who else will? Nicki was unconscious five minutes ago! I'm not risking her."
"Hey, its not your choice!" Nicki argued.
[Nicks, in the weakened state you're in, it could kill you.] I said in her mind.
[I'll be fine] She replied, before putting a hand to her head,
"Ok, ow." She murmured.
"See- not good." I said. "We gotta do this, and we gotta do it now. So i will."
"And if you can't control it?" Asked Boney dude, clearly not too happy.
"Then you better get ready to take out a witch on a dark magic high." I replied.
"Maya!" Joshua snapped again. I smirked at him,
"I'll be ok." I said, and kissed him softly. Then i said to Zeroc, "Now how do i do this thing?"

"Well, see... thats where... we've got a bit of a problem..."
"What" Maya asked angrily.
".... we have to go... inside..." I said slowly
"So?" she asked me
"... we have to go inside the Netherworld to close the portal, and once your inside... and the portal is closed... well... there's no coming out" I explained slowly, trying to pick the right words. "You see, the Netherworld is a banishment area, and even the strongest demon won't be able to open the portal... in fact, I don't know how Jurag did it in the first place... but..."
"But what?" Maya looked at me impatiently
"... but I know someone who can open the portal... only one person I know can open it once it has been closed... and I don't think he'll be too happy to help humans out!" I said, giving some hints as to whom it might be.
"I bet I know who it is!" said the human with the saber. "It's not your so called 'Lord Zaron' is it?"
"Um... yes..."

"But the point is that we want it closed, for good." I said, without looking at any of my friends. "If the only way to do that is from the inside, then..."
