What more do you want, the Devil and God?

Screen Written by Mr. K

 

Opening Scene:

    Everyone is over at Mason's place just chilling back. Then they hear the door bell ring. Tasha gets up and answers the door. When she gets there nobody is there, she opens the door and looks outside, but still nobody there. She is about ready to close the door, when Mason notices an envelope on the floor. They open the envelope and discover a letter. The letter is written in an ancient tongue, Rokugan, as Tasha informed the rest of the party. Unfortunately, he was unable to read more than a few words: challenge, Hand to Hand, Mason, and Rokugan. Well Caleb showed up and informed the party that the King of Ogres from an alternative dimension has challenged Mason to an honorable trial by combat using hand to hand. Tasha took the letter and continued to study the letter trying to learn this strange new language.
    The rest of the party attempted to create a plan for Mason so he could succeed at his hand to hand combat trial. Mason went to his room, and Tasha notices Caleb following Mason to his room with a black katana behind his back. Tasha gets up and goes to Masons' room to show Caleb some of the language bits so she can figure out how to read this language. When she gets there they start to talk about the battle plan, but Tasha interrupts and asks why Caleb has a katana behind his back. Caleb then asks Mason if he wants to go to the woods and spar.
    Afterwards Caleb took off for the woods and Mason disappeared soon afterwards.
 

Commercial Break

 

Act 1:    

    Nobody knows exactly when, but later the party started getting weird feelings about Mason and Caleb. So Tasha calls Mason, but doesn't get an answer. So she decides to call Caleb on his new cell phone. Caleb says he is in the woods, so she does a simple 'geo track' and proceeds to follow the map into the woods. Tasha and the rest of the party meet up with Caleb. He says he was waiting for Mason, but he didn't show up. So the party splits up and starts to look for Mason. They try his cell phone again, but no answer. Finally, they manage to find some tracks, but the mysteriously just disappear.
    Tasha gets a vision of an Ogre in town at a biker bar tearing up a biker. She gathers the rest of the party and they begin to head to town, but suddenly Tasha gets very sick and pukes al over the place. Caleb says he will stay behind and help her out, but Tasha insists that he go with them give them the need man power to help confront the Ogre. Tasha says he she will catch up as she quickly runs to the bathroom.
    The rest of the party heads to town. In the process Tasha goes and finds a hunting dog, but again the tracks just disappear in the exact same place.

Act 2:

    Tasha then calls Dante and gets some vital information. That a certain spell can track people even through extra-dimensional realms, but there are only two individuals who can cast the spell, Virgil and an unknown demon. Virgil is in Europe, but he recommends that she does not use the demon. Tasha being a bit head strong, and not too familiar with Dante's demeanor insists on using the demon, no matter what the cost. She is not about to loose a team member so easily, never leave a man behind.
    Dante delivers the materials for summoning the demon to cast the spell. The rest of the party arrives, and Tasha apologizes for not getting there on time, but they say it was ok, because the Ogre left already.
    Tasha informs the party about the ritual and the possibility that it may be dangerous, but she did forget to mention it involved a demon. They begin to set up the pentagram, candles, and various other spell components. She reads the spell "We call on the four winds; north, south, east, west and the four elements. We call on the O'herald of words, deliverer of souls, and agent of the creator. We call on you Lephisto!"
    With that the room goes black, an extra-dimensional portal opens, and the smell of brimstone fills the room. A tall humanoid step through the port, with red scaly sin, clawed hands, two horns on his forehead, and huge bat like wings. He introduces himself as Lephisto. He says he can do the spell, but it will cost them three female souls immediately. Unfortunately, that would be Tasha, Sylvia, and Crystal. Caleb, buts in and says yah, it will only cost three harlots, cheap if you ask me. Tasha says no.
    Tasha, Sylvia, Crystal, and Caleb get into a very long conversation with Lephisto about what type of bargain can be made. Lephisto says he will even give them a bit of a preview. He shows them Mason, who is still alive even after being stabbed through the heart by Caleb. Tasha furiously grabs her zweihander and decapitates Caleb on the spot and says "I give you his soul and head." Lephisto says "I already have his soul and body" with that he destroys Caleb and sucks his soul out of his burnt destroyed body.
    The conversation continues and even goes into a metaphysical discussion about the creator. Lephisto says he can even call upon the creator, Metron. Tasha does not believe him and challenges him to, because she has figured out that the only way to break Lephisto's contract is to be destroyed by a being higher than Lephisto. Lephisto summons the Metron, who in turn calls upon the true voice of the creator. The creator asks Tasha if she is sure she wants to hear the true voice of the creator, knowing that she can not get out of Lephisto's contract and knowing full well that the creator is the only way out. She demands to hear his voice. Well, needless to say, her head explodes and gray matter is flung across onto everyone.

Act 3:

    In the realm of the dead, the heavens call on Tasha and she stands before the gates of heaven. There Metron says I told you not to listen. Metron says you take the elevator to your destination. Not knowing what to do she decides to finally listen to Metron. So she heads on in and waits. The elevators heads down. She refused to listen to the creator twice.
    When she finally arrive in the pits of hell, Lephisto arrives and welcomes her to hell. He introduces her to her hell guide, Hope. Hope begins to annoy the sin right out of Tasha, repeatedly. Lephisto says "I believe now we can finally negotiate, you see the creator had plans for you, he even touched you and gave you gifts, but you refused their heeds. So now you see we have a problem Metron wants you still to do your duty, and I want you hear, but I can't keep you because you have been touched by the creator. So, you have a choice. Option one, you can go back, but you have to take Hope with you and have her redeem herself. Option two, you can wear this medallion and go back and perform your deeds for the creator. Option three, oh, there is no option three." Well to make a long story short Tasha picked option two.
    That is when Lephisto tells Tasha she has a problem, see her body was in hell, but her head was scattered to back on earth. He could send her back in a different body, but Tasha wanted to stay in her original body, so Lephisto gave her the option to choose a different head. She picked her ancient ancestor Tasha VonDraken, who died a mysterious death attempting to save the world from an ancient evil, but was killed by the fairy queen.
    Lephisto said that was not an option, so she picked this actress, Asia Argentina who looked just like her. Lephisto sends her back medallion (Pentagram with a cross in a round circle one half fire the other half water), but he says "You have to it back with you" as he points to a demon succubae, "After I had to get something out of it"

'Asia' walks over to Sylvia's side and demands the sword, Sylvia says it is tied down, but 'Asia' impatiently smashes the window with her panzer hand and hits Sylvia in the face. Sylvia gives 'Asia' the sword, even though 'Asia' says she is not Tasha everybody believes she is Tasha.
    'Asia' insists they continue to New Jersey. When they arrive. They proceed to the Church of Evan. Once there they capture the priest and tie him up. 'Asia' wants to just go and kill on the spot, but the rest of the party insist he is of some use to them. They are waiting for the 'fallen angels' to stop them from entering the gateway to heaven and destroying both heaven and hell. They manage to stop them, but during the battle the building catches fire and they crew escape, but the priest of Evan burn with his church.
