Synopsis: Demon Rape (a Sir Differel adventure)

Differel is hosting a government interdepartmental conference. In attendance are Aelfraed, Maggie, and Sharona, with Mrs. Widget and a number of maids and footmen. A strange wave of dizziness washes through the room, and the men turn into naked demons with body-builder physiques. They immediately attack the women, tear off their clothes, and begin raping them, each one shouting, “Bitch, you are mine!” when he claims a victim. Differel, Maggie, and Sharona try to defend themselves, but the demons are too strong. Differel's attacker forces her to bend over face down on the table and penetrates her from behind. The sensation is both excruciating -- his penis is huge -- and exhilarating. As he pumps her, her excitement builds very quickly, and she starts experiencing multiple orgasms, each right after another. Her mind goes numb from the intense pain and pleasure, and she realizes she soon won't be able to think at all. Using the last dregs of her willpower, she summons Caliburn and thrusts it backwards. The demon screams and pulls out of her. She pushes herself up, turns, and takes off his head before he can grapple her. The orgasms continue to wash through her, and she drops the greatsword as she clutches her crotch and masturbates furiously.

The orgasms eventually subside, and she nearly collapses from exhaustion, gripping the table to support herself. She gazes around the room and realizes everyone is helplessly engaged in mandatory mindless fucking, whether they be a transformed demon-rapist or a woman victim. There are no demons who have not claimed a woman, so the others ignore her. She focuses on Maggie and Sharona, and as her mind becomes more agile she realizes she needs them to find out what's going on. Summoning Caliburn she takes the heads off the demons raping them, but they both collapse to the ground, writhing and moaning as their own orgasms continue. At a loss as to what to do to snap them out of it, assuming she even could at that point, she spots the discarded clothing of a female guard who carried a stun gun on her belt. Retrieving it, she sets the power setting as low as she can and shocks each woman. They convulse, but come to their senses.

Differel waits until they recover enough for action, then they sneak across the hall into Intelligence. The women analysts are all being raped by demons, but the latter ignore them. Sharona receives and analyzes reports as Maggie attempts to contact Whitehall and Differel tries to reach Medb, Team Girl, and Lady Margaret. The first two do not answer, but she reaches Margaret at Chesham Towers. Even as she begins to explain the situation, however, a demon catches her and begins to rape her. Differel now knows the phenomenon has reached York. No one is answering at Whitehall, but Sharona finally generates a graph that shows that 90% of women all over the world have been caught, and the remaining 10% will be within a day at most.

Two demons break into the room. They flee through the hidden stairwell, but Maggie is caught and dragged back into Intelligence. Differel and Sharona escape into the room safe. They take weapons, but when they open the safe they find a group of demons in the office led by one built like Holt. The weapons prove useless, so they retreat back into the safe and try to close the door. Sharona is caught and pulled through the opening while another holds the door open. Differel severely wounds him with Caliburn and several more crowd against the door, pushing it shut. She locks it and uses the greatsword to destroy the mechanism, making it impossible to open. She then makes it into the stairwell. She pauses, not knowing what to do. She sees no way to stop or reverse the trend, it’s moving too fast. Even if the demons do not kill their victims, the women will likely die from exhaustion or dehydration, and the human race will end. The only hope is if a few women can be saved, and a few men somehow escaped transformation. She decides she needs to get out of the estate, so she goes down to the catacomb level to take the secret tunnel to the motte and bailey.

When she reaches the bottom, however, she finds the secret door to the catacombs open and a weird greenish light showing through. She goes through and follows the light. It takes her to a crypt that contains seven tombs, six surrounding one in the middle. The center one has been opened and a being like a cross between a tree and a sea anemone has emerged. A naked woman lies on a bed of tendrils that caress and penetrate her, but her head lies within an orifice. A group of tendrils rise up, collect into a knot, and form a face which speaks. Differel realizes the woman must be the Countess of Salisbury. The Countess explains that she had stumbled upon a ritual that would allow her to use the power of a beast from hell, thereby making it possible to transform all men into demons under her control. What she failed to understand was what the ritual meant by merging. She is now a mere appendage of the beast, but it can use her personality even as she uses its power. Together they have decided that Mankind should be exterminated, not ruled over, and they have set the demon-men loose to rape all women to death. Differel realizes the beast is merely impersonating the Countess, that it has absorbed her. She summons Caliburn, but before she can attack, a demon appears and catches her. He forces her to lie back on a tomb and penetrates her, but Mabuse robots appear and grapple with him before he can start. As one carries her off, she catches a glimpse of the demon's face and notices it resembles Vlad. The robot carries her to Mabuse’s lab. A group of demons try to break in, but robots appear out of the rock walls and grapple with them. The robot carrying her opens the lab’s blast doors, tosses her inside, and closes the doors.

Differel finds Mabuse standing over her. She helps her up and gives her a lab coat, apologizing that it is all she has to offer. She explains what’s happening and what caused it. Mabuse shows her a Schrodinger wave recording that displays a spike an hour ago. Mabuse has been working on a device that combines her transmogrification and time travel technology, to create a sort of cosmic “rewind” button. It needs to be set up somewhere high. Differel suggests the keep in the motte and bailey. Mabuse states she needs to finish assembling it and they only have a 150 minute window. Differel tells her she will need 30 minutes to reach the keep; that leaves two hours. She helps Mabuse finish assembly. Mabuse gives her device to prevent Vlad from reading her mind. She removes the coat saying she can’t fight with it on, and perhaps clothing sets off the demons. She puts on a pack and nine robots leave with her. Six engage the demons outside; two more engage two demons in the stairwell. The last follows her to the keep. There is 20 minutes left.

Even with the robot’s help it takes 10 minutes to climb to the top of the keep; 5 minutes to set up; 3 minutes to program the system; 1 minute to process the program. She can now activate with a minute to spare.

Demon-Vlad appears and grabs her. The robot grapples him but she falls off the ledge. She catches a hold and hauls herself back up as Vlad tears the robot apart. She lunges for the device but demon-Vlad catches her. She clings to the wall as she strains to start the program running as the remaining seconds count down. After several near misses, she punches the enter key with seven seconds left. Demon-Vlad rips her loose, slams her against the wall, and begins raping her. She barely notices the device activate with aching slowness. Then she feels like she’s falling backwards down a tunnel composed of images of memories that rush past her. When it stops she finds herself back in the conference room. She glances at a clock and jerks: she has five minutes to stop the Countess.

She races downstairs, but discovers she’s too late to stop the summoning. The beast has seized the Countess, penetrated her, and is guiding her towards the orifice while the Countess struggles against it. She summons Caliburn and hacks at the tendrils, but she must also fight off tentacles. Vlad appears and uses his heavy-duty pistols to blow holes in the beast while Differel cuts the Countess free. The beast shrivels and collapses into the tomb, and Vlad reseals it. The Countess is unconscious and Differel has her taken to a maximum security cell.
