Shive landed before the compound, unsheathing Hakaisha. His eyes became outlined in white, and he growled.
"They're definately in there..."
Are you sure you can do this? I mean, I'll just come back, but you could die... Hakaisha asked.
"It's not a matter of whether I think I can do it or not... I HAVE to do it, even if I die..." He replied.
How noble. She responded.

"It is about time you arrived." The haunting voice of Armageddon spoke as the dome of magic revealed it self, only to part and recede, revealing Armageddon. The demon smirked in the same sense as someone who had a royal flush against his opponents' Ace high's in poker.
"I was beginning to wonder if you got lost in your training."
Solranous balked.
"Yes, dragon, I knew. It's so good you were able to inform me."
That got a surprised look from Shive, who was now feeling betrayed. Solranous' jaw dropped.
"I TOLD YOU NOTHING YOU LIAR!" Solranous roared at Armageddon.
"You didn't have to. I saw through your eyes what you were doing. Those memory flashes at the end of your sparring session? Courtesy of yours truely." Armageddon replied, the same cool smile on his maw that some how revealed all of his numerous fangs.
"Now... Shall we begin our fight, or do we wait for Evihs to make his appearence?"

Shive was there, then Shive was gone. Hakaisha had been shoved into the demon's chest, then Shive fired a fireball point-blank range into his face, Hakaisha then ripped out as painfully as possible. The dragonkin was still shaking with rage, his breaths coming out in snorts that would occasionally be a cloud of green vapor.
The reiatsu flared around him again as he rushed forward and, focusing all of his strength, slammed his fist through Armageddon's front-most right leg, then ripped it back out, slamming his fist on the broken area and snapping the limb in half.
"You're almost as disgusting as that bastard of a brother..." Shive growled.

Armageddon chuckled despite the pain.
"Letting your anger cloud your vision, are you?" the demon asked. He didn't wait for an answer. For he back off a few steps before lunging again. Shive found himself caught in Armageddon's jaws up to his shoulders, and the demon's fangs were starting to punch through his armor. The dragonkin seemed to be ready to send a burst of acid down Armageddon's throat when he saw a flare building up inside.
"Aw S***..." was the most likely phrase going through Shive's head as Armageddon launched his flare while opening his jaws enough that Shive wasn't being pinned. The dragonkin was launched out like a rocket from a bazooka.
"Bleh, raw meat. I perfer my meals burnt." Armageddon cracked, sending another flare Shive's way. Solranous intervened, though, kicking the flare back as neon blue reiatsu erupted from his frame. Armageddon didn't bother to dodge the flare, he let it hit his face with no ill effect.
"The protector to the end? You are a fool, Solranous."
Solranous snarled, "Better then being in service to you."
Armageddon grinned at that, "Speaking of which..." He sent out a mental command. A blur dashed past both of them and was heading for Shive. Solranous turned to follow, but was slammed into the ground by Armageddon.
"Ah ah ah, your opponent is me." Armageddon tisked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Shive recovered, Xeno-Myrr stopped her run, waiting for the dragonkin to get to his feet.

Shive's eye twitched, and his chest hurt.
You know, you don't have to HURT her in order to RESTRAIN her... Hakaisha muttered.
Shive thought about that. He pondered, then pondered some more, then it finally got through.
OHHHHH... I get it. Shive thought.
My god, are you always this dense? Hakaisha asked.
Maybe. But, how do I restrain her? I don't wanna hurt her in any way possible... and that tail could give me a vaisectamy... He asked.
How much do you want her back? Hakaisha asked.
More than my own life. He replied.
Okay... I think I have it... Hakaisha replied.
What? Shive asked.
Focus on her, then aim me at her. Then say, 'Shinseki'. Hakaisha replied.
You won't hurt her will you?! Shive asked frantically.
No. Just do it. Hakaisha demanded.
Shive slowly rose to his feet, then bounced backwards, Hakaisha held defensivly. He stared at Myrr, and he felt like s***.
God... even when she's like this, I'm enamored with her... I mean, not physically, but still... He thought.
He shook his head, then asked,
"Myrr? can you hear me? Please say yes."

"B...Barely..." Xeno-Myrr strained out. The seizure like shaking wasn't present, so Armageddon clearly had almost full control over her. Against her own will, she drew her blaster and leveled it with Shive's head, the panic in her eyes was clearly visible.
"If you have a plan, do it now! I-I can't hold him off for much longer!" Myrr's voice cried out to Shive. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Armageddon was meanwhile juggling Solranous with his multiple remaining limbs. Solranous couldn't focus straight, since he was being smashed repeatedly being bashed around. Armageddon was undoubtedly fast, despite his bulk. The demon finally slammed Solranous back down to the ground, tearing a pained screech from the dragon. He snarled, getting up... Wait...
"What did you do!?" Solranous screeched when his limbs failed to respond.
"Elementry, dragon, I used a paralysis spell." Armageddon replied, before stalking away, leaving Solranous to scream various obsenities. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Xeno-Myrr began to panic even more.
"HURRY! Armageddon's coming! Whatever you are going to do, do it now!"

Shive hesitated. he looked at Myrr, and at Armageddon, and his facial muscles clenched in determination.
DO IT. Hakaisha stated.
I have a better idea... Shive replied, a disturbing grin forming on his face.
He aimed the blade at Myrr, then slowly shifted it to Armageddon.
Oh... wait, WHAT?! Hakaisha shrieked.
"Shinseki." Shive muttered.
Armageddon staggered, and Shive started twitching violently. He let out a horrendous shriek as Armageddon sagged even more, and Shive screamed,
"WHOAH! What does this do again?!"
It drains a targeted opponent's energy at a rapid rate, then gives it to the wielder. Hakaisha responded lazily.
Shive's reiatsu flared so much that a crater was formed in the sand, and knocked Xeno-Myrr flat on her butt. The reiatsu crackled and twitched, flared out and shrank back. Shive's iris's were now completely enveloped in the reiatsu's glow, and he screamed,
"STOP!"
The reiatsu stopped at it's current level, which was about 20 feet away from Shive's body. It seemed to smoke from Shive's body as he clenched his hand, muttering,
"So... much... energy..." Shive muttered.
I suggest you use it soon. Your body can't hold that much at a single time. Hakaisha implied.
Shive looked at Myrr, then stated,
"Keep fighting him. I know what to do."
Shive had vanished in a sonic boom that took a lot of the sand with him. Armageddon couldn't even blink as one of his arms dissapeared in a bloody spray, followed by his tail, and then a spray of it erpupted from his chest. Shive landed in front of Myrr, twitching violently.
"HOLYCRAPICANNOTSTOPMOVING." He stated in a blur, twitching at the neck.
He paused, then doubled over and vomited. He stood back up shakily, and Hakaisha stated,
I told you. And you haven't even gotten rid of half of it yet.
Shive twitched again, and whimpered.

Xeno-Myrr wasn't struggling anymore, the wisps of black left her eyes and she turned to glare at Armageddon.
"Thanks Shive, you drained away what energy he needed to control me." Xeno-Myrr replied
Armageddon started laughing again.
"You think you can incapitate me that easily!? Did you not expect me to have a counter spell!? Dark Restoring!" Armageddon called, as a black aura exploded from him. With it, came the stench of Necromancy as Armageddon stood up again, beginning to heal. An 'egg' of dark energy appeared above Armageddon, which 'hatched' into...
A sword!? Armageddon smirked as he reach a fore foot to grip the sword. The sword itself was as black as night, and only had a six foot long blade. Other than that, it was very unimpressive.
Xeno-Myrr just perked an eyebrow, "That's pretty unimpressive..."
"Kuro Okami, Fuzen Oonami!" Armageddon called. (OOC: Translation: Dark Emperor, Evil Surge) The blade responded, growing into a massive broad sword that had a thirty foot long blade with the handle being another seven feet, it's blade was jagged, looking like it was carved roughly from a metal boulder. A gray reiatsu aura appeared around Armageddon in the same vortex fashion that Solranous' had.
"Unimpressive?" Armageddon repeated after his sword transformed. Xeno-Myrr was shocked. As for Shive...

Shive was still twitching, and he sneezed in fast forward, then asked Armageddon,
"Haveyoueverbeenstruckbyagod?No?Thenyouwouldn'tknowhwatit'slike.Ithurts.ALOT.Soifyourzanpoktouisstrongerthanagod,I'dbescared.ButIdoubtevenYOURzanpoktouisthatstrong,so..."
He whipped Hakaisha about in a blur, then roared,
"IAMUNIMPRESSED,YAPATHETICEXCUSEFORACOCKROACH!"
He then brought Hakaisha up extremely fast, parrying Armageddon's blade out of the way, then rushing upwards and shoving the blade into Armageddon's sternum. He whipped up and booted the demon square in-between the eyes as he ripped Hakaisha out simultaneously, then kicked off of the demon as he fired a lightning bolt twice the size of his normal bolts into the demon's right shoulder.
"Well,I'dsaythefieldisabouteven,butIfeellikeI'mgonnathrowupagain." Shive blurted out again, his eyes wide and bloodshot.
He looked like he had taken seventy cups of coffee in a row. He rushed forward and jumped, about to stab Armageddon again when his cheeks turned green, and he vomited square in the demon's face. It seems some of the dragonkin's breath weapon had been mixed in with it as well...
If he doesn't rid himself of that extra energy soon, he's gonna break... Hakaisha thought worryingly to herself.

Armageddon was thinking various swears as he wiped the acid/vomit from his face. The stench of his Necromancy prensent again as it started healing again.
"Thunder Surge!" Armageddon called, firing a spell. Not even Shive was faster then lightning, even in his current state, and was struck, freezing him in place since his muscles were paralyzed
"Now that you can't dodge or parry this, Oujou Dageki! (OOC: Traslation: Death Strike)" Armageddon called, raiseing his zanpoktou high. Black lightning lanced into and enveloped his form as he swung it down at Shive, launching a bolt of dark energy. This bolt struck Shive, undoing the previous paralysis and launching the dragonkin back. As he started to get up, the multi-tonned weight of Armageddon pinned him back down again.
"For your information, I was killed by the strike of five gods, each stronger then the last, and I'm still here, what does that tell you?" the demon quipped in response to Shive's words. "While its true my attacks are not that powerful, I can still do you in before you me." Armageddon glared with the fury of a thousand hells. "And don't call me a cockroach again, you gecko."
Xeno-Myrr roared as she charged at Armageddon, planning to cut into his back. The demon paid her no heed as she flew smack dab into what appeared to be an invisible shield.
"Foolish Myrr, my reiatsu can only be entered by one who wields a zanpoktou, effectivly making you a non-contender in this fight. And no, your father's blade passed down to you does not count, it is not in the right hands and that is not the sword of Kyouran Kizoku Shounetsujigoku" Armageddon explained as she looked on in bewilderment. The demon returned his attention to Shive...
Only to find he had accidentally let the dragonkin up, who had then taken the opportunity to get out from underneath.
"Baka," he called himself, looking for Shive.

Shive twitched and glared, a trickle of blood running down his chin. Shive's reiatsu flared again as he hissed,
"YOUDIDNOTJUSTCALLMEAF***INGGECKO."
He rushed upwards as he planted Hakaisha into Armageddon's stomach, then brought it slicing upwards with him as he ascended up Armageddon's front. A massive spray of blood erupted forth as Shive hissed,
"Kizu."
The blood wouldn't stop flowing from Armageddon's body, for the wound would not cauterize. Shive let loose another derranged grin as the reiatsu burst back into life as he cupped his hands, wind spiraling into them. But that wasn't all...
The reiatsu was billowing into it as well.
"I'llcallittheHyperCyclonicBlast!" Shive chuckled, a hint of bloodlust in his eyes.
The reiatsu was now fully mixed in with the pressurized air, and Shive threw his hands forward, screaming,
'HYPERCYCLONICBLAST!"
The Cyclonic Blast ripped forwards, twice as large as its normal version. Orchid spirals were wrapped around it's exterior as it rushed forward, then slammed into Armageddon and sent him flying backwards, the blast having ripped away most of his chest. And yet the last wound that Hakaisha infilicted hadn't dried yet, the blood still flowing freely.
Shive smirked, then he heard Hakaisha mutter,
Oh... no...
Shive's eyes widened, and he reached into his pocket, then ripped it out and threw something small to Myrr. He screamed in agony as he collapsed onto his knees, large gashes appearing everywhere on his body. They didn't just bleed, they also exuded sheer reiatsu as Shive struggled back to his feet.
"Can't... give... up... yet..." He gasped.
He rushed forward one last time to strike Armageddon, only to fall down as a muffled 'bomp' noise came from his chest. Shive crashed back into the sand hard, skidding about 20 feet. A fresh trail of blood trickled from his open maw, and his eyes glazed over.
Shive's heart had just popped.
((Come, please, I'm callin', I'm callin'...))

Xeno-Myrr had caught the object Shive had thrown to her, but panicked when she saw Shive fall and have numerous gashes all over his body. She looked at the object he threw, wondering if he had done so because he had expected this or was warned in some way. It didn't help her, since she didn't have a clue on what it was.
'Please, whatever god is out there... I don't know what to do... Please... show me. I want to help him, like he was trying to save me... Someone, anyone... Don't let him leave me or be taken by that monster.' she thought, the 'monster' comment refering to Armageddon and anyone like him.
Speaking of which, Armageddon was blinking black stars from his vision.
"What... What the hell did that gecko do?" the demon inquired, frozen with surprise. He hadn't realized that Shive had fallen, apparently dead, nor the fact that Xeno-Myrr had run to and knelt down next to Shive, hoping to figure out a way to save him.
(OOC: Is it just me, or do I always pick the most agrivating nicknames for your characters, Shive? First Draethik, and now Shive... Besides, I really don't know wha could help, seriously, what did Shive throw to Myrr?)

((It'll help... don't worry You just gotta know how to use it)) The object was a small platinum-colored cube with a hole punched through from one side to the other. It seemed to sparkle and refract the light magnificently. A smoky form appeared next to Myrr. It was Hakaisha! It seemed only she could see her, for Armageddon didn't seem to see her. The serpent shook her head, muttering, "I told him this'd happen. Oh, yes. I'm here to relay a few things Shive wanted me to tell you." She seemed to distort and fade rapidly, as she continued, "He wants you to whistle through the hole in the cube. He said you could figure the rest out on your own. You're smart that way. And by the way, he's dead. His heart popped due to over-exertion." Hakaisha smirked, tears forming in her eyes. "But he wants you to know he tried his hardest. For you." She then dissapated, leaving Myrr to the cube and Shive's corpse.

(OOC: ...How in the world am I suppose to figure this out? And how is a whistle going to help? ... Look, this is the first time I've heard of something like that, so I don't what the hell is suppose to happen after Myrr whistles through it...)
Xeno-Myrr was caught off guard by that. At least the serpent had answered her question... too a degree... But how was a whistle going to bring Shive back? Oh well, she was desperate now. The hybrid brought the cube up to her lips...
And froze, feeling something... someone attempt to invade her mind. She panicked again, Armageddon had recovered and was trying to bring her back under his control!
"N-No... Not... Not now..." the hybrid hissed, trying to fight Armageddon's invasion. "Get... Get out..."
"You know you can never be free from me forever." Armageddon hissed back into her mind.
"S-Stop this... Stop..."
"Why do you struggle for a lost cause? You know as much as I do that the dragonkin is dead. He never really cared for you. He knew you would die before him, so he didn't let himself get too attached."
"L-Liar... Why would... he come back... for me? He... He cares for me... And I care for him..."
"CEASE THIS INVASION AT ONCE, ARMAGEDDON! YOU HAD HER ONCE, BUT NEVER AGAIN!" Solranous' powerful bellow interrupted. Xeno-Myrr felt the pressure from Armageddon lift from her as Solranous took it upon himself to battle the demon's mind. The hybrid sighed in relief, thanking her father for his intervention. --------------------------------------------------------------
The emerald dragon landed inbetween Myrr and Armageddon when he started to duel the demon in Myrr's place. He snarled, finally capable of getting back at Armageddon for freezing him back there.
"You are making a futile endevour, Darkdrium, you know you cannot win." Armageddon hissed.
"I don't have to, I just need to stall." Solranous returned. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Myrr brought the cube to her lips again, and whistled through it, hoping that the rest of what she needed to do would fall into place...

As soon as the whistle ended, the cube shattered. The particles swirled into the air and began to spiral in a single place, coalescing into a sphere. The sphere erupted in a ball of light, and in it's place stood...
A platinum-colored dragon.
It was a good 50 feet long and 20 feet tall (at the shoulder), and its eyes were a deep blue with black, reptillian pupils. Its wings were crosses between those of an angel's and a dragons, retaining the basic shape of a dragon's, but was covered in bright white feathers. A row of transparent, light-blue spikes ran down its spine, and a silver mane of hair adorned the back of its head.
"Look, I didn't want the Number 7, I wanted the Number- hey, where'd I go?" It asked, looking around.
He focused on Myrr, then on Shive, and his eyes widened.
"If Shive... is dead, then... how'd he summon me? Or'd he give you the cube?" He asked the half-dragon hybrid. "If that's so, then... I guess you have to use the last two wishes. Alright, what do ya want?" He asked, almost impatiently.
