well, it is definately a hat. i'm not
sure what else i can tell you
about it.
what do you think
corrine...?
it is demonic in origin but i can't tell more than
that... was a name
mentioned?
they called him hatter or Mister
H...
He said his name was
Mister Hex, his driver called him Lucifer.
Lucifer hex? i've heard that name. I think has some
pull in the seventh circle, lord or prince.
seventh circle... of hell? What
does he want from us?
He's a demon roy, he sure didn't come from the seventh
circle of candyland...
sorry, I didn't mean to snap at
you. I'm a little tired. If
it's lucifer hex, he's
conume animus, a soul eater. you can bet he's hungry.
it's okay corrine, i understand. new born
twins can't be easy. you've
told us more than we knew
before.
I have to get back to allison and the twins... There isn't a demon that could get through the academy's wards. as soon as the twins are asleep, I'll ask
around and see what I can find out for you. just hang tight, i should know
more by morning.
she doesn't believe me she thinks I'm crazy.
no alice, corrine is just under a lot of
pressure is all.
hey guys... whoa, I had a dream with a hat just like
that.
a dream? exactly
what dream did you have?
jay descibes the events in *perez park...
*Issue Two -
... then I woke up, really
weird stuff. What the big deal?
Do you remember when it happened Jay?
it was the end of
july, 26th maybe why?
let's go. this has to be stopped
now.
but corrine said we're safe here. the wards?
we each saw hex the day before, of or after the full moon. He is
working on a lunar schedule around those three days.
Maybe. So far it just appears to be one of us a month, he may not strike again until the next full moon. But we won't know
where. we at least know he's in paragon city now.
last night was the full moon. so he's still
here?
Paragon junior supers academy. mike carter reviews a students records after speaking with elizabeth Shirako of dawn academy.
au set, literally translated "of set".
dob, lob, both unknown. referred by meta-adolescent outreach program.
found in perez park... police report, 7
members of the skull gang found around her terrified and in shock. 6 recovered
with no recollection. the
other didn't recover, committed to
murkwood asy,um.
Alpha's report... subject appears to be 16 to 19 years of age physically. social and polite, no remarkable negative interations with other students. has a very literal understanding of language. Based on her description, she was not corporeal before arriving on earth. possibily from another dimension.
subject exeriences intense pain when touched by others. Cause unknown. Warnings have been issued to instructors and student union. tests indicate subject has an extremely slow metabolism.
Update notes: Kheprera from paragon gris gris confirmed the girl is au set. Au set's initial fear of Horus and au heru diminished after meeting with kheprera.. contact with horus is to be avoided pending review of the prophecy au set claims her father made.
she claims set predicted she would be lost
and horus would find her.
when that happens he
would return.
it seems we have a would be
goddess as a student. let's hope daddy
doesn't come to open house.
uhm... father? we've been by this spot three times...
... i mean it was a good idea, but
maybe he's gone...
no. he's in this
building.
what? why have we been wandering in circles?
i've told you before jay. know
all the exits. you might need them, they might use them. it'll save your life. count
on it.
both of you stay close. i mean it this time jay.
slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!slam!!
Hey!
jay, it won't open...
ROY!
so much for the element of
surprise - it's dark as midnight in here. Hex could
be anywhere...
marco!
Oh please... that's such a
corny line. Just come quietly
hex.
no, no, no, your supposed to say 'polo'. if your not
going to play fair...
...neither will i!
ha! ha! ha! ha!
Aghkt!!
your soul? Quite right. it'll return
once I've left no worse for
wear.
having your soul yanked out hurts
just a litte huh?
gah! you... can't..
have.. my...
Mmmmgh.. why...
why? the boy? He's stupid. pity he's so loyal. the girl, insane, but
a bit too insane... as for you? you just piss me off...
...but i'm hungry and you're
useless, so if you'll excuse
me.
what's the matter hex?
afraid to face me like a man?
afraid? of you?
Puh-lease! take your soul back...
...and i will face
you fool...
but i am no pitiful
man!
the sound of metal cutting air is barely audible. Roy doesn't hear it, he just opens and closes his hand without thought grabbing the gun falling from the darkness above.
i've taken your little guns. i've taken away your
friends...
...i can take it all away from you, including your life!
you've forgotten one thing hex...
don't tell, your fingers loaded. ha! ha! ha!
what? no! NOt fair!!
no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no!no! aaaaaaaaaa
hhhhhhhhhh

never take from
someone...... their faith.

i'm fine, not counting
the headache.
*phew* what an amazingly bad
smell you discovered.

was worse.

Epilogue: hell. It's not even a nice place to visit.
who dares disturb lucifer hex?!
your name is lux lucis
addo vomica and your tricks
will not work on me.
you dare invade my realm and
speak my name?
spare me your indignity. you
were the invader...
...and it will be the last time. you will not
bring your 'deals' to the students of
dawn academy.
you dare threaten me? i will do as i please! each has free will to
decide for themselves! get out of my kingdom and never dare return.
i won't be back and it isn't a threat hex, i have told you what you will not do. if
someone has to return, it won't be me. it will be mari.
endendendendendendendendendend
*gulp* marisel

As I said hex. this
won't happen again.
