12 : Devil’s Disciple

When Lauren comes through the Portal battered and bruised she is taken to the Freedom Space Station. Aspel and Larna are told about the event and go to investigate what happened. While they are there Prophet Damien Lucifer attacks the place. He kidnaps Lauren. Larna goes after Damien to his ‘Church’ hidden deep in Bostary Prison. Damien has been recruiting Zarr’s for his religion. Damien is crazy, devoted to the anti- Christ. No other religion is considered good enough. Damien sees the Devil as the all mighty powerful one. He wants to recruit children to his cult. Lauren was the first, because she is already most of the way on to the dark side, with revenge dominating her heart. A Spinal Pain Tap is being inserted into the back of her neck, right at the top of the spine, as Larna finds the hidden Church.

Larna tries to kill Damien, but he is surrounded by a force field that he calls the fire curtain of Lucifer. All it is an invisible bodyshielding. Larna needs to find a way of deactivating that field before she can kill the men. Damien has also designed something called an Esambo, ‘Electrical Stun And Manipulator of Brainwaves Operator’. It can send out a large electrical beam that shocks the target and stuns them for a few minutes. It can also be used to control people’s brainwaves, especially if their thoughts are dominated by evil, like revenge, jealousy, anger or hatred, and command them to do anything that Damien wants.

Damien disappears through time, with Lauren as his new disciple, using the Portal that Lauren helped him build from her original plans, which Lucifer stole, from her computer via hacking into her system before it exploded. They can travel back to where and whenever they want and do whatever they want while they are there. Larna has to follow him, try to stop the mad man from creating a time wide cult of devil worshippers.

The places Damien goes to are as follows:

New Arizona – May 17, 2427: Damien goes on a scouting mission through New Arizona and ends up kidnapping Larna’s mother and father. Larna now sees the image that Shadow projected for her in Lost Angels (Story #3). She saw that she killed her parents by telling them the wrong STC number in a hurry to get them away from Damien.

Japan – July 31, 1996: Damien goes to a downtown section of Tokyo and starts to make prostitutes murder their clients. Larna has to try and understand the language and help a Japanese Police Officer to find Lucifer before the murders take over the city. Damien then goes on to take control over women’s minds, bringing them to him so that he can ‘enjoy’ their company. Lucifer disappears to Australia where his has a large mansion. He kidnaps a woman and holds her hostage inside the mansion, trying to turn her to the dark religion. Larna has to try and save this woman without the help of any police.

South Africa – June 30, 1997: Damien uses his power to make black people kill white people. The country started to head back to what it was with the Apartheid rules. Whites fearing blacks. Whites beating blacks. Damien watches with interest as he starts to destroy a country. Damien does not care. His master has instructed him to command the evil forces of the planet. That is what he is doing. Larna cannot stay out of his way for long. A gang of blacks turns her upon.

Canary Islands – December 1, 1997: Damien makes the people of on a wild rampage, covering his plans to steal all the money from the bank on the main island.

The island people have become like zombies, under the power of Damien’s Esambo. He starts to island hop, leaving Larna one step behind every time.

New Orleans – July 4, 1992: In a Independence Day parade Damien sends all the spectators crazy, making them attack one another, and starting the biggest riot in the cities history. Again using the confusion for cover, he kidnaps three women and carries them off to a secluded spot. Damien gets Lauren to do his dirty work. Lauren is now so scared of him that she would do anything for him. Damien abused her frequently. She was starting to hate him, just as much as she hated her half sister. Lauren has been ordered to kidnap teenage girls and bring them to Damien, while the confusion of the riots is still keeping the police preoccupied. Larna, used to the plan, must try and find a way of stopping the Prophet Of Evil.
