[phantom-the-prince]

official blog of the demon prince phantom

obligatory not associated with the batfam

(//ooc intro here w important info)

i'm a vigilante and stuff, wherever i feel like but usually gotham. the bats aren't super into me because of their no-killing rule, plus there's like. hell and whatnot. you can't expect me to be completely clean, i have a system to run

but listen, being the so-called prince of hell doesn't make me a villain. if anything, i'm the one keeping those other demons' dirty little hands off, for the most part.

my motive? vigilantes are cool and i wanted to be one. also for attention. anyway, who cares? isn't helping people good enough, even if the reason is selfish?

@phantom-the-prince 've got eyes on Hood, y' there?

[phantom-the-prince]

here. in theory it shouldn't be too hard to transport him if we can just knock him out... i could teleport him to the cave easy peasy (if i knew where the cave was) but i'm used to fighting demons, humans are so hard to hit right

[gothamitenightingale]

'kay. We gotta tag team, he's really really hard t'take down.

[phantom-the-prince]

sure thing, i'll do my best here we go

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade didn't react when she sensed a presence fill the space next to her, eyes trained on the twisted form of a man she called 'brother' and face twisted into something ugly. This whole thing sucked, and god forbid she was a little pissed about it.

"'s right there."

She pointed him out.

[phantom-the-prince]

The light from a nearby streetlamp reflected off the dagger Phantom drew from the sheath at his thigh. Though the virus was worldwide, he couldn't help but feel like he was intruding on a family matter.

He watched the Red Hood's wretched face turn and two cold eyes lock on.

"He sees us," Phantom whispered urgently.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade scoffed.

"Yeah no crap, he's trained t'read the area like nobody's business. Y' didn' think he would?"

She nodded at Phantom and braced to leap down.

"You go for behind 'im, he'll be focused on me so long as 'm in front an' hopefully, if he's anythin' like B, he'll fight it enough t'hold back when he recognizes me. Three, two, one..."

[phantom-the-prince]

Phantom took his place behind Hood, hidden in the dark except for his half-blond hair and the glint of silver weapon.

After Jade's countdown, he attacked, aiming for Hood's legs.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade waited till Jason was fighting to get Phantom off his legs and dove to deal her blow to his head, praying it would be hard enough to knock him out.

She scowled and tucked into a roll when he dodged, swearing under her breath.

[phantom-the-prince]

Hood threw Phantom off him and into the dirty ground, but Phantom's blade remained lodged in his calf.

Phantom pushed himself up, brushing his hair off his eyes. He held out a hand and his knife whipped back to him, a thin trail of blood following.

"Oh I picked the wrong weapon for this," he muttered to himself. He went forward again, now aiming a kick at Hood's head. But Hood grabbed his ankle directly, and didn't let go.

[phantom-the-prince]

He lifted Phantom upside down. Phantom swung his blade forward but couldn't reach, so he jabbed instead at the hand holding his leg.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade dashed forward, landing a solid kick to his chest while he was distracted and springing off the ground again to throw a hit at his temple, but missed. At least the kick was enough to make him drop Phantom for the time being.

"Take two,"

She snarked, falling into a crouched, defensive position.

[phantom-the-prince]

Their efforts had only made Hood angry. He lunged at Phantom, who narrowly rolled out of the way despite being dropped on his head, then he went for Jade.

"Guh-- Look out!" Phantom gasped as a warning attempt.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade looked up about three seconds before and shielded her head just in time to avoid fatality, costing her a probably fractured lower rib in place of her neck. Well... Fair trade honestly.

But with the same amount of honesty. Frickin ow.

"Tol' y' he's tough,"

She grunted, sliding between his legs to aim a quick blow to his back.

[phantom-the-prince]

Hood took Jade's blow to his back, but quickly recovered. He made a swift grab for her face and lifted her into the air with taloned fingers.

But his bloodshot eyes met Jade's and froze, and for a fraction of a second, his grip loosened.

Phantom watched from the ground, his head swimming as blood trickled down his forehead. He was sure if a human had landed on their head like he had, they would've died.

He didn't know what to do, besides possession. With a shaking hand, he pulled off his mask. "Hey!" he shouted, gaining Hood's attention.

Then, a funnel of thick black smoke poured from Phantom's mouth and swirled in the air above Jade before rushing down Hood's throat.

Phantom's own body fell to the ground as if lifeless. Hood's eyes, now completely black, widened in rage and pain as he roughly dropped Jade.

Then Hood, apparently fighting Phantom's control, went into a frenzy, screaming and slamming his head into walls.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade took in a gasping breath and scrambled for a corner, trying to parse what she'd just seen. Okay. That was really really weird. What was that? Phantom can actually do that? Did he just actually possess Jason?

She scowled a little, torn between terror and the already growing anger curled in her gut. Okay. Take down Jason now, give Phantom a pice of her mind later. When he crashed into the wall next to her she sprung up, landing solidly on his back and holding on just long enough for her fist to connect with his temple.

She landed lightly as Jason fell, and turned to scowl at Phantom, or his limp body anyway.

[phantom-the-prince]

After Jason finally went down, the black smoke again spilled out from his mouth and pooled around him, then returned to Phantom's body.

After breathing in all the smoke, Phantom startled awake.

"Ah, ow... ew, I hate doing that..." he complained, rubbing his head as he sat up. He picked his mask up off the ground and dusted it off before putting it back on over his pierced lips and nose.

He caught the look on Jade's face. "What?" he asked blankly.

[gothamitenightingale]

"What the heck was tha'?"

Jade snapped. To put it lightly. She was pissed.

"Y' jus' possessed my brother, tha's not- I had 'im, he knew me an' he was fightin' it! I could've jus' knocked 'im out without this!"

[phantom-the-prince]

"Wh- Dude- You had him?" Phantom stammered. "That's why he was about to totally rip your head off, was it?"

He threw his arms out in defensive exasperation. "Dude, you think I wanted to leave my nice safe body and jump into that feathered freakshow? He was about to kill you! And his thoughts were really mean in there..."

[gothamitenightingale]

"He wasn'! He knew who I was an' he wasn' gonna hurt me!"

She felt fury rising in her gut but forced it down and settled on a glare.

"Don' do tha' again. I gotta go hold the line at the fort." She glanced at Jason's limp body. "Y'know where the cave is, right?"

[phantom-the-prince]

"Yeah, I do now," Phantom sighed, "I got it from him."

"I wasn't trying to look at his memories!" he added quickly, "Possession is a total violation, it's gross. Whatever."

He knelt next to Jason and grabbed his arm, trying to resist the desire to have the last word on whether Jason could control himself. "I'll see you later," he told Jade.

[gothamitenightingale]

That earned another cold scowl from Jade, but she kept her mouth firmly shut.

"See y'," She grumbled, firing her grapple at a nearby rooftop. Worldwide apocalypses sucked.

[phantom-the-prince]

Phantom huffed and watched Jade leave. He held Jason's arm tight. Despite the circumstances, he was excited. He had idolized Batman since he was a kid, and a human at that, and now he was seriously about to go to the Batcave.

He shook his head. "Okay, shut up, this is serious," he whispered. He took a deep breath and disappeared, taking Jason with him.

Then Hood, apparently fighting Phantom's control, went into a frenzy, screaming and slamming his head into walls.

[gothamitenightingale]

@phantom-the-prince 've got eyes on Hood, y' there?

[phantom-the-prince]

here. in theory it shouldn't be too hard to transport him if we can just knock him out... i could teleport him to the cave easy peasy (if i knew where the cave was) but i'm used to fighting demons, humans are so hard to hit right

[gothamitenightingale]

'kay. We gotta tag team, he's really really hard t'take down.

[phantom-the-prince]

sure thing, i'll do my best here we go

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade didn't react when she sensed a presence fill the space next to her, eyes trained on the twisted form of a man she called 'brother' and face twisted into something ugly. This whole thing sucked, and god forbid she was a little pissed about it.

"'s right there."

She pointed him out.

[phantom-the-prince]

The light from a nearby streetlamp reflected off the dagger Phantom drew from the sheath at his thigh. Though the virus was worldwide, he couldn't help but feel like he was intruding on a family matter.

He watched the Red Hood's wretched face turn and two cold eyes lock on.

"He sees us," Phantom whispered urgently.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade scoffed.

"Yeah no crap, he's trained t'read the area like nobody's business. Y' didn' think he would?"

She nodded at Phantom and braced to leap down.

"You go for behind 'im, he'll be focused on me so long as 'm in front an' hopefully, if he's anythin' like B, he'll fight it enough t'hold back when he recognizes me. Three, two, one..."

[phantom-the-prince]

Phantom took his place behind Hood, hidden in the dark except for his half-blond hair and the glint of silver weapon.

After Jade's countdown, he attacked, aiming for Hood's legs.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade waited till Jason was fighting to get Phantom off his legs and dove to deal her blow to his head, praying it would be hard enough to knock him out.

She scowled and tucked into a roll when he dodged, swearing under her breath.

[phantom-the-prince]

Hood threw Phantom off him and into the dirty ground, but Phantom's blade remained lodged in his calf.

Phantom pushed himself up, brushing his hair off his eyes. He held out a hand and his knife whipped back to him, a thin trail of blood following.

"Oh I picked the wrong weapon for this," he muttered to himself. He went forward again, now aiming a kick at Hood's head. But Hood grabbed his ankle directly, and didn't let go.

[phantom-the-prince]

He lifted Phantom upside down. Phantom swung his blade forward but couldn't reach, so he jabbed instead at the hand holding his leg.

[gothamitenightingale]

Jade dashed forward, landing a solid kick to his chest while he was distracted and springing off the ground again to throw a hit at his temple, but missed. At least the kick was enough to make him drop Phantom for the time being.

"Take two,"

She snarked, falling into a crouched, defensive position.

[phantom-the-prince]

Their efforts had only made Hood angry. He lunged at Phantom, who narrowly rolled out of the way despite being dropped on his head, then he went for Jade.

"Guh-- Look out!" Phantom gasped as a warning attempt.

@phantom-the-prince Status?

[phantom-the-prince]

don't be mad. i ACCIDENTALLY trapped a group of civilians in a "safe" room with one human that i didn't know was infected. the infected one was removed soon after transforming but almost definitely got a few others and now i'm sat here with a quarantined bunker of Very angry gothamites

[gothamitenightingale]

Dangit. Don' die an' watch more closely for infected people. Assuming y' can get outta this right?

[phantom-the-prince]

i'm working on thoroughly checking for bites or scratches so i can take some to the gotham knights safe place. i just hope i can get through them before people start changing. they're rowdy enough already

plus they keep just calling me "demon." like i have a name guys

[gothamitenightingale]

Good. Eh. Not good tha' they don' seem t'care for y' name, but good tha' y're handling it. Meet me at Crime Alley, we need t'bring Hood in. Alive. He's been infected.

[phantom-the-prince]

i thinkk i've got people sorted here. the few infected are staying in quarantine, assuming this place can hold them after they turn. omw to crime alley now, see you there
