《Metalbound》Chapter 4- Freedom

Subchapter 3.5- Escape
We decided to wait until the gaurd switched posts and checked on us, and then we made our move. I could slowly change the shape of my body, so it took a little bit to get out of the shackles. Once I was out, I changed my finger so it could fit into the keyholes on the others' chains. I went around and unkocked all of the other's shackles. We needed the shackles intact for a part of our plan. After we were all free, we broke down the divider between us and the "suprise".
He was a massive imp that had four arms. He growled and frothed at his mouth, trying to escape. Amara shushed him, and I went to work on his locks. Amara explained that the mad scientist had caused the imp to mutate into a barely sentient version of itself with massive power. Apparently he was a Four Armed Demon, and he had a massive increase in power, like me. I was really starting to worry about the sanity of the Mad Scientist.
Amara could somewhat communicate to him, so she explained the plan. We would send a signal that we were attacking, and then release Four-Arms to cause mayhem. The triplets and Bella would focus on keeping the Daemon occupied while we suprised him.
Chapter 4- Freedom
The triplets blated a hole in the roof of our caravan car, and poked one of their heads out.
"Revolution!" screeched their raspy voices.
Imps all around started attacking other imps, causing mass chaos. Four-Arms blasted out of the side of the caravan car, bashing in heads of imps. Amara and I snuck around the side of the car, looking for the Daemon. He was in the middle of the carnage, incinerating random imps. The triplets and Bella were blasting the Daemon's loyal imps from the safety of the roof. They had nowhere to hide. The caravan had parked in a basin, so they had no cover. We were winning.

Now for phase two.
Amara and I snuck behind the Daemon and hid, using the chaos as cover. In our arms we had the energy-blocking chains. On a count of 3, we charged him and tried to put them around his ankles. Amara succeded, but before I could chain him, he latched onto my neck with his clawed hands. He lifted my up with his hand around my throat.
Before I could think of an escape plan, a four armed blur hit the Daemon squre in the chest. I was thrown backwards a couple feet and skidded to a stop.
The mutant was kicking the shit out of the Daemon, since the daemon couldn't use magic. Suddenly there was a huge burst of heat and the chains melted off. The Daemon had let out a huge burst of energy, blowing Four-Arms and the chains away.
The Daemon looked wounded, and completely drained of energy. Four-Arms charged him again, and landed a few solid hits on his torso. The Daemon finally got his sword unsheathed and stabbed him through the chest.
Four-Arms fell backwards, dazed, and sat down. Just then, Bella unsheathed her wings and flew down from the roof of the car. She stood between her father and the mutant, looking pissed as hell.
The Daemon looked at her with a horrifying grin. "Hello daughter, have you came to join me?" it hissed.
"No" came the thunderous reply. Bella took two steps forward, and punched the Daemon. It was blown backwards by a burst of raw power coming from her fist. I was taken aback by the pure ferocity that she displayed. She flew over to where the Daemon was and repeatedly punched him in the face, leaving it a bloody mess.
"Goodbye, Father" she whispered.
Her foot came down on the top of his head, and he stopped moving. The Daemon was dead.

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
