((Reserved for Fred))
The Baron of the Abyss sat in his massive obsidian palace mounted upon a state-sized piece of voidstone. Only the darkest regions of this plane would suit Arthreonus, as he spent his days pacing the corridors and muttering to himself in the Dark Speech. Some of his generals were beginning to fear for his sanity, and a few had already attempted to stage an overthrow, though they ended with rather gory fates.
However, the day would come when Arthreonus was standing atop the tallest tower of the dark citidel, watching events in the Material World. An insidious grin spread across his horrid maw as he watched the corruption of the machine known as Mazinkaiser, into the much more interesting Devil Kaiser. He also took note of a fellow demi-god attempting to take advantage of this happening, and a chance to rid himself of his boredom soon showed itself. His wings twitching, he called forth one of his messengers, a vrock by the name of Pal'rithes.
"I want you to find the entity known as Omega Weapon, and ask him if he'd listen to a proposition of mine. Tell him... it'll be worth his while." He commanded the vulture-thing.
Pal'rithes nodded, then took off into the black sky, screeching into the Abyss as he did so. Arthreonus nodded, then placed both claws on the edge of the tower, his crimson eyes searing through the darkness as he issued a massive, monstrous bellow of a laugh.

The sound of stone cracking under immense pressure fills Arthreonus' ears. It came from behind him, a large mass appearing slowly from the darkness. Smoke streamed from the mouth of the gigantic demi-god as it neared Arthreonus.
Omega Weapon stood, towering over him. The demi-god then opened his maw to release a bone shattering voice.
[glow=red,2,300]You....wanted to see me.... [/glow]

"As a matter of fact, I did. I hear you're gathering recruits for something on the Material Plane, going so far as sending a lesser avatar of yourself for such a thing. I've become exceedingly bored lately, and would like to test one of my newest experiments in the field. If you'd like, I can lend you this soldier of mine for whatever it is you're doing. I want nothing more in return than to see how he fucntions." Arthreonus stated flatly.
The demon's wings flexed as he crossed his arms, staring up at Omega, who stood well over seven times his own height. He blinked, wondering how the demi-god was fitting onto the parapet, then shrugged it off, waiting for a response.

Omega raises an eyebrow in shock. He had heard of Arthreonus from various sources, many of which were souls he tourtured.
[glow=red,2,300]I am honored to have your assistance with my matters...[/glow]
Omega takes a small bow, but continues speaking which makes the ground tremble a little.
[glow=red,2,300]But, may I ask why you would want my help? Why not just send your weapon yourself? I'm sure you could do it...[/glow]
From beside Omega, twin blood red eyes pierce through the darkness. Suddenly eyes appear on its shoulders and chest. Its tail lashes around on the ground like a cat waiting for its prey to come out. It is hunched over and smoke poured out of his mouth. He looked to his master as he hungered for blood, knowing now wasn't the time for his stomach to act out.

Arthreonus's lips twisted into an insideous grin, and he replied,
"True, very true. But I wish to know how well this creation follows orders. He won't be of much use if he can't follow orders. And since you're planning on doing something the the Material Realm, I thought I'd lend him to you for a field test."
The Baron's eyes drifted to the side, at the minion of Omega. They narrowed for a moment, but knowing the beast was restrained, he looked back to Omega.
"So... is it a deal? It benefits both of us..."

Omega Weapon laughs, causing the tower to sway. He pats his follower on the head to calm him down. The animal looks up to his master, nods and slinks backwards.
[glow=red,2,300]Do not mind him, he is mearly my servant. These organics of the Material World are pathetic at times. Just waft a little power under their noses and they fall..[/glow]
The demi-god turns back to Arthreonus, a hidious (sp?) grin forming on its face.
[glow=red,2,300]I accept your proposition. When will this weapon of your's be ready for combat?[/glow]

Arthreonus grinned in turn, exposing his dagger-like canines.
"He's already prepared. Would you like to see him?"
Snapping his clawed fingers, a 14-foot tall, humanoid demon stepped out of the shadows, holding a long black chain between its pincers. Its canine maw snarled as it jerked on the chain, trying to pull something out of the darkness.
"Careful... he knows he could kill you with ease..." Arthreonus muttered to his cohort.
Nodding, the demon pulled a bit more lightly on the chain, which in turn brought a humanoid shape out of the darkness. Two violet eyes burned with malice as its deformed maw hissed at Arthreonus, claws clenching. The Baron of the Abyss merely smirked, muttering,
"Down, boy. You're getting a chance to return to the Material Plane."
The beast stopped, eyes widening. Arthreonus grinned, stating,
"Though he isn't fully equiped for the job yet, he's quite the fighter. Show Omega your potential!"
The humanoid beast let loose a howl, then spun around and ripped a clawed fist through its captor's stomach, sending the crab-dog to its knees, whereupon its throat was torn out and thrown to the side. Eyes wide, it stood panting in bloodlust over its kill.
"He's pretty easy to handle, most of the time. You've got to be careful where you take him though; there's a few mortals up there that he's got a bad grudge against. Oh, and he eats other demons, so be careful about that too." Arhtreonus growled.
Snapping the chain off of the black beast's neck, Arthreonus then made a clenching gesture. What appeared to be gray, organic armor appeared on sections of the weapon's body, and a large, serrated black sword appeared in its clawed hand.
"He's all yours." Arthreonus stated, gesturing to the anthropomorphic beast.
