Barge right into the demon's chamber

From Create Your Own Story

You take a deep breath. "I have an idea that involves barging right into the demon's chamber," you say. "And there's something I have to tell you. When I encountered the demon last time, I sort of..."

"Agreed to become the demon's servant," Monica finishes for you.

"Yes...Wait a minute. How did you know?" Your mouth drops wide open in shock.

She smiles. "How else would the demon have let you go?" Seeing the expression on your face, she continues, "It's okay. It was either that or pointlessly defy the demon and die for nothing."

"Yes." You cough. "And now, if you could pretend to be the sacrifice...But I'm guessing someone as smart as you as already figured that out."

Monica simply winks and nods.

"Thanks, Monica."

"De nada, Katarina. Well, let's do this." She looks at you and tries to smile. You take a deep breath and lead her into the demon's chamber.

Nothing happens for a few moments. Suddenly, the demon appears from out of nowhere in a burst of flame. "Greetings, my loyal servant. Have you brought me a sacrifice?"

Monica pretends to be shocked. "WHAT?! Katarina, how could you..."

You point your pistol at her, hoping both of your acting skills are good enough to fool the demon. "I'm sorry, Monica. But it was the only way."

The demon cackles cockily as he looks at Monica. "Now, your soul will be mine..."

Suddenly, Monica hurls both her swords into the demon's torso with the strength and skill of a champion javelin thrower or shot putter. The monster looks down in surprise, then realizes it is unhurt and simply flings the blades away.

"Treachery, eh? Well, that just means I can take two souls now. You foolish little girls had no chance against m..."

You leap at the demon, sword in hand, as it is making its speech, praying that this is the Demonslayer Blade. You swing it at the demon's neck just as its huge, spiked fist smashes into your buxom chest, creating a massive hole. With the last of your strength, you complete your swing, severing the demon's head from its body. The body stands ramrod straight for a second, then topples over. The head falls down a moment later, the dead demon's face forever frozen in an expression of rage and defeat.

You fall over onto your back. Monica races over and bends over you. "Katarina! You did it!"

You cough up blood. With your last breath, you gasp, "No...we did it..."

Monica bows her head as your eyes close permanently. "I'll make sure the world knows of your heroism in slaying the demon. Rest in peace, Senorita Katarina."
