The police officer arrested the woman that caused the accident and while she was in custody, Crusader struck her. At a radio call from Daimon that he had discovered a pentagram inlaid in the floor of the shop, Crusader blew off the cop and entered just as Daimon stepped into the pentagram and vanished. Afraid of missing out on a fight, Crusader followed. What the pentagram had done was teleport the two half way around the globe to a Demon Lair in the mountains of Tibet. Worried about possible Demon reinforcements, Crusader cut the pentagram and rendered it powerless. Warned by their magical security system, the agents at the lair use their first line of defense and blasted the cave between the pentagram room and the rest of the base, bringing down tons of rock to seal the cavern. After several hours of eye blasts, Daimon finally opened the path and the two heroes began their assault on the lair in earnest. It proved far easier then either expected. Even though Crusader was without taken out in the opening moments of the battle, Daimon swept through the base like a tornado, taking out fifteen Demon Mech agents and two dozen other agents.

When it was all over, the base was destroyed by some sort of self-destruct system with the two heroes barely escaping with their lives. Standing on the narrow rocky shelf Crusader donned his armor and took up his sword and shield, once again ready to fight evil. "Are you comfortable having your armor back?" Daimon asked. "I feel whole again," Crusader replied. "And this stuff will protect you from just about anything?" Daimon asked. Crusader nodded and said "Just about anything." Daimon stepped over and gazed down the precipitous drop to the valley floor so many thousand feet below. "How about a fall?" "Daimon said, spinning as only he could and landing a swift kick on the set of Crusader's armor. The blow lifted the paladin from his feet and hurled him over the cliff. Daimon stepped over to the edge and yelled down “We could have gone HOME if you hadn't broken the damned pentagram, NOW we have to walk!" |
