Cyber Suicide Session 13-14 [The Demon Computer, Part 1 and 2]

The sessions started out simple enough. The time traveling team has assembled together to destroy the computer that corrupted Kazuya in the first place. They arrive in the year 1700 in New Timeline B. Here they find the Agency building, except that it is made of wood and guarded by men with swords rather than G-men with guns in a metal building. Akio went to the computer room and found that Kazuya had been replaced with a random grunt wearing a suit that had already started to use the machine. Fray peeked over the man's shoulder and started to read the red text glowing on the dim green screen that he helped create. He was soon consumed by the text to the point where he couldn't stop reading it, and made no real effort to stop. By the end of the session, he had become a demon summoner like Kazuya before him. Bolt, finding out where the battery was, had to move through the two zombified people to destroy the computer from behind. Akio and Catherine ended up helping as well. However, Catherine was also consumed by the computer once she tried to attack it (+1 Will dosen't get you very far :P). By the end of the 13th session the computer was destroyed, but two of the party members were clearly possessed and there was also the matter of the man in the suit [who was knocked down with a punch].

The guards inside the building were also taken out, thanks to Catherine, Bolt, and Morph [the new name for Wolf]. The guards limped through the hall after them, nearly bleeding to death. Fray later tortured them to death with his knives, getting blood on his hands. Catherine was also able to stop herself from hurting Akio thanks to her new trouble [Crush on Akio] which turned out to be more useful than I expected.

Akio used his new telepathic link with Merlin to call him, and the wizard confirmed that he could help cure the two of the demonic presence. However, it would take him a few hours to travel to the future. In the second half of the session, Fray had completed his demonic transformation and Summoned a Demon Lord to force his way into Akio's conversation. The evil raven made a deal with the hacker and Fray discovered where Merlin was. The bird was then attacked by Catherine, and the powerful demon inflicted a Major condition on her by screeching so loud that her ears started to bleed [Deafened]. The horrible thing is that in this session, Fray and Catherine realized that they were related as sort of half-siblings. They had the same father, in two different timelines, as Fray had a flashback to being cloned by Jaques, who used his genes to make the time machine.
Fray pushed his power a bit and did a ritual to transport the party through time to England [instead of using the machine, because Fray didn't want merlin to track him]. Once they arrived in a magical forest nearby the wizard's tower, Fray rested while the others went hunting. Akio and Catherine made their way to the tower. Catherine meditated on the whole situation, trying to figure out why everything was happening so haphazardly and realized that something WRONG was happening. She summoned a minor Shadow demon to protect herself for the coming trials.

Bolt and Wolf encountered a Pixie, who casted Sleep on Wolf and ran away. Fray froze it in time and captured it in his laptop bag, asking it to guide him through the forest when the time was right. Fray then used most of his remaining power [1 out of 3 stress] to teleport using time travel to Merlin's room. (What I found interesting is that he didn't even notice that he was able to control time for an hour now instead of being limited to a handful of minutes). Six Knights all pointed swords at the horned boy, but Fray knew that Merlin was meant to die using his knowledge of the timeline.

Merlin warned the boy: "You are a threat to the entire universe! Do you think your soul is really yours?!" as he drew himself up to the demon to gaze into his soul. Fray, in an instant, sliced the man's head from his body while flipping over him. He tossed the wizard's head towards one of the guards and teleported out as easily as he came in [without needing to roll any dice to kill someone destined to die]. Blood fell unto his hands for the second time, adding a great bookend to the session. He started with a kill [the guards] and ended with another [merlin]. He offered the wizard's soul to his demon friend, who gladly took it in exchange for permanent service. The bird had also taken Fray's old Shotgun that he had stolen from the first member of the death game, and Fray realized that man's soul was still bound to the gun.

More pieces fall, and the board is set for checkmate. Who will survive the death game across time?
