Rescue? No, This Is War

[Azure_Ghidorah]

(OOC: God... This is so convenient, it's not funny... I mean wishes? *covers eyes and shakes head* ... Besides, I hate choosing. Myrr's got three wishes she wants, but only two to work with, and I doubt Adamant will be fooled by the 'two in one' trick.)

'Wishes!? Talk about a answered prayer! ...I know what I want the first to be... But should I wish for myself to be restored in the second? Or should I wish that Armageddon was dead?' She suddenly felt a foreboding feeling when she finished her thoughts, like there were drastic consequences should Armageddon die through the wrong means.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solranous gritted his teeth, as pain seered through his body. He was using every trick in his book to attack and counter Armageddon, but the demon was more skilled then he, reflecting his attacks. Oh how he hated a reflecting strategy in mental duels, they were so hard to work around, and Armageddon's was one of the most refined.

"Hmm, it seems I underestimated Myrr's resourcefulness. Of course, if she defeats me with a simple wish. More then one life will be ended."

"What do you mean, demon!?" Solranous shrieked in surprise. What was Armageddon talking about?

"I'm assuming you've heard of the term 'link' when refering to telepathy."

"What does that have to do with anything, Armageddon?"

"Consider this a one-sided link, you do the math." the demon replied, smirking.

Solranous did think about it for a few seconds. Something sparked in his mind, and he grew fearful.

"Bingo, dragon." Armageddon confirmed, before he placed all of his enrgy into one mental strike and attacked Solranous. It felt like he was struck with a river of his foe's energy, and he desperatly tried to fight it. As soon as he started trying, though, it was already too late. Armageddon's energy was joined with that of another, and they defeated him.

The last thing he could recall was feeling the dusk black aura cover him, then nothing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

'I... I don't know what I want more, so I'll leave the last one for Shive to decide. I just never thought I would get to actually use a wish.' Myrr concluded.

"Okay. I wish that Shive was revived." The hybrid replied to the genie-like dragon.

(OOC: Shive, you don't how stupid I feel after typing that last line.)

[Talon]

((Oh, I bet I do... XD))

Shive twitched, then sat up screaming and flailing his arms around in front of him.

"I don't wanna walk into the god-damn light! I- oh hey, I'm alive." He stated, glancing around.

He glanced up at Adamant, then smirked at Myrr.

"I knew you'd get it."

He stood up and turned towards Armageddon, and saw what was happening to Solranous.

"Oh s*** oh s***!!!" He exclaimed.

"Are you guys gonna use your other wish or what?" Adamant asked lazily.

Shive groaned and slapped his head.

"Great. Now I have to pick." He muttered.

He glanced at Myrr, then at Armageddon, then at Solranous, then back at Adamant. He glanced at Hakaisha, and he rubbed his eyes in annoyance and frustration. He stopped, then glanced at Hakaisha again.

I doubt if this is a good idea... but no sense in not trying...

Actually, if you think about it, it's not that bad of an idea. You can be smart when you try, dragonkin. Hakaisha laughed.

Shive laughed, then turned to Myrr.

"Myrr, I need you to keep talking to Solranous, try get him OUT of Ruin Mode. I have an idea." He stated frantically.

He turned towards Adamant, who was lying down and yawning. The platinum dragon turned to Shive and asked,

"You ready yet?"

Shive nodded, and Adamant rolled onto his stomach.

"Okay, I wish Hakaisha, my zanpoktou, would allow me to unleash her next stage. And when Solranousbreaks out of his little... um, 'situation', his Zanpoktou awakes to the second stage as well."

Adamant nodded, jutting his lower lip out smugly.

"Hmm. Interesting. But what about her?" He asked, gesturing to Myrr.

Shive looked back at Myrr, then at the ground.

"I... I don't know. I would like her to return to her normal form, but... with this wish we can stop Armageddon a little easier..."

Adamant glanced at Shive, then muttered something to him telepathically. Shive jerked back up towards Adamant and smiled, his eyes watering over. Adamant nodded slightly in return, then pointed at Shive and Solranous's Zanpoktous.

"You two know what to do." He stated in a thunderous voice.

Hakaisha laughed, and Shive's reiatsu flared massively, his hair whipping upwards. His eyes glowed with an orchid glow as he waved his hand over Hakaisha, booming,

"HOUKOU, HIDOI-HAKAISHA!"

The sword flared into a white light, which disapated shortly after. The blade was now normally sized (for Shive, anyway; about 7’6 feet total) and is silver. The guard has six 'claws' now, two pointing toward the top of the blade, two jutting straight out, and two curving towards the handle. Shive looked at the blade, and started giggling.

Adamant was suddenly behind Myrr, and he exhaled a snow-looking mist onto her, shrouding her completely from view. She coughed a few times as the powder dissapated, revealing her form. The sunlight glinted off of metallic-sheened skin once more, and Myrr could feel a heartbeat in her chest once more.

Shive almost passed out. Adamant laughed at Shive, then stated as he rose into the air,

"Remember Shive: You owe me another favor now!"

Shive laughed back,

"I'll get around to it eventually!"

The platinum dragon dissapeared, and Shive turned to Armageddon, Hakaisha's new form crackling with reiatsu.

"Let's do this." he stated, whipping the blade to the side.

*****

As Adamant returned to his home plane, he thought,

He could've just wished Armageddon dead...

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Darkdrium, destroy these fools, show them your true power." Armageddon commanded.

"With pleasure," Solranous RM AKA Darkdrium, replied. The demon dragon surged forward at Shive, deploying both Dusk Blades. Darkdrium feinted a swipe, which made Shive block when there was no need to defend. The demon dragon didn't hesitate to shove both of his Dusk Blades through Shive's stomach and hoist him up. Myrr growled, about to approach to help Shive, before she heard Darkdrium hiss, "Take one step towards us, and he'll die for the fifth time in his life!" Myrr balked at that and backed away. What could she do?

Darkdrium turned back to Shive and hissed, "Did you ever wonder why I changed into this form or even how I got here in the first place?" He didn't wait for an answer as he spoke again, "If your hearing were to increase right now, you would only hear your own heart beat. That's right, just like your girlfriend over there once was, I'm dead. I've been dead. And that mist? Armageddon can undo that, if only partially. That monster form of her's will always be around, just like I'm Solranous' dark side."

The demon dragon paused sniffing.

"...Armageddon's magic... Hmm... Seems you've been cursed by him. Once effected by Armageddon's magic, there is no escape except death. All effected can be controlled by him. Know this dragonkin, if any of us were to anger him enough, he could strike us dead with a thought. Do you realize how futile it is to continue struggling against impossible odds? Technically, he can pull the strings of your Hollow side as well, because his body was available only through Armageddon's magic."

Darkdrium kicked Shive off of his swords and huffed.

"I don't even know why I'm wasting my time with you, except for that Armageddon commanded it." A black flare started building in Darkdrium's jaws, aiming it at Shive. Just as it peaked, he jerked his head to target Myrr, and fired.

(OOC: Xeno-Myrr was just too much fun to role-play, but even if she wasn't, Armageddon still would have had that power. He's just screwing everyone over, ain't he?)

[Talon]

Shive hesitated, and bounced in the way of the flare, the explosion knocking him backwards.

"You undead are a disgrace to reality." He hissed.

"Except for one. HE was cool." Shive added as an afterthought.

"His name was Drake Tanum. He too, was controlled by a force stronger than he. That force commanded him to do horrible things, things he never would have thought of, had he been in control. But what did he do? He fought it. He fought it, even when the odds were impossible. He fought it when they were above impossbile. What happened? He eventually broke free of his control. He rebelled, and gained his freedom back, even though he was still dead. But he didn't care. As long as he was technically living, doing what he loved, at HIS whim, he didn't care."

Shive's reiatsu flared so badly that RM Solranous struggled to stand. His eyes glowed once more as orchid-colored energy began to crackle about Hakaisha's edge as Shive continued,

"He did the world justice, even though they looked upon him as 'unnatural' or an 'abomination'. YOU, HOWEVER-" He turned to Armageddon and continued, eyes still on RM Solranous,

"ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A BLISTER UPON THE ASS OF THE COSMO'S TINIEST SPECK OF DIRT! Just looking at you disgusts me. You're almost as bad as Daedalus. Almost, but not quite. You turn helpless people into undead slaves so you can conquer and destroy. Then what? What happens when you've conquered every plane in existance? What then? You have nothing to rule over but the dead. The dead who cannot experience any joy, pain, or sorrow. Only your horrid emotions: Hate and bloodlust. Eventually, your control over them will break, and they will revolt on you, and you shall cease to be, for no being can withstand an entire cosmos's onslaught."

The reiatsu flared anad crackled as Shive raised the blade and leveled it with Armageddon's throat.

"What then, Armageddon? What will you do then? I'll tell you: Nothing. For you will cease to be."

Shive then raised the blade into the air as the reiatsu gathered about it, then Shive brought it crashing back down as he screamed,

"KAI!"

The blade unleashed a crescent-shaped wave of orchid energy tha shot towards Armageddon, which slashed through his reiatsu unhampered and carved a deep gash into the demon's torso, sending another spatter of blood into the air. Shive unleashed 3 more waves, severing a few of the demon's legs and half an arm.

Shive then appeared before RM Solranous, stating,

"FIGHT HIM, SOLRANOUS! SHOW HIM WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF! If you don't, you will be lost..."

Shive's shoulders sagged, and he continued,

"And if that happens, I wouldn't know what to tell Kisara."

He then bounced backwards, Hakaisha held defensively.

((I thought this scenario sounded familiar!))

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Solranous? No. That pathetic fool couldn't hope to overcome me with Armageddon holding him down. He would dare have a dream about it. That much power is simply too much even for him.

"Is that what you truely think?" a familiar voice quipped from within Darkdrium, and the demon dragon's eyes widened in surprise.

"I-Impossible! Master was restraining you!"

"Armageddon's weak now, he couldn't hold me back. Now. GET OUT!" Solranous' bellow was enough to make a small tremor as Darkdrium's hold crumbled almost immediately. The aura covered him again, but this time it exploded away in the form of a dome of energy, revealing a purified Solranous.

"Let's get him, Shounetsujigoku Shousen Asahi!" Solranous called, unsheathing Kizoku and igniting the blade with his reiatsu. The blade responded to Solranous' called as it's handle and guard dissappeared, replaced with a chain of Solranous' neon blue reiatsu which wrapped the entire length of his arm. The dragon's reiatsu exploded into full force as Kizoku commented, 'Vow! Zat was an exhilaratingly sudden release of power!'

Armageddon snarled. Not only had he lost his newest servent, but he had lost Darkdrium again... As much as he would hate to admit it, these bumbling fools were stronger then he expected, and more tenacious. He didn't want to... but he was running out of options, and he was not running again. The Angel was understandable, but this... This was an outrage!

(OOC: No Japanese this time, and I had this planned from the start if things got to rough.)

"DEMON LORD, RISE FROM THE INFERNAL PITS OF HELL!" Armageddon called. His zanpoktu burst into many gray streams of reiatsu and fused with the demon, changing him. His form shifted until he was no longer his original shape. Instead, he had taken on the form of a black mythological beast...

The new Hydra Armageddon with his many heads screeched into the heavens. His stance was still quadrupedal, and unlike most hydras, Armageddon only sported three heads. He was still his same forty-foot tall height, and he still possessed his horns, which now adorned all three heads.

(OOC: Think first form Desghidorah with Armageddon's horns and only his single tail.)

The newly transformed Armageddon got back to his feet and reared up bellowing again.

"This fight has just begun!" Armageddon's voice echoed through all three heads.

"S***..." Solranous commented.

[Talon]

((I hope you know he was going to turn on you from the start anyway... but since you have a Zanpoktou, this just gives him more reason to hate you!))

A hissing laugh echoed throughout the area. Everyone glanced up to see a familiar Hollow floating there, his single-minded stare boring into their minds.

"What was that earlier about you having control of me?" He asked shortly, his reiatsu beginning to flame around him.

His eyes narrowed, and the six spikes on his back suddenly shot out and changed into... wings. Wings that had dark-red energy for the wing-fiber. His eyes widened in insane rage as he stated,

"NO ONE CAN CONTROL A HOLLOW. JUST BECAUSE YOU MADE MY BODY DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DESTROY IT NOW. IT'S ALREADY BEEN INFUSED WITH MY ENERGY, AND YOURS HAS BEEN EXPUNGED FROM IT." He hissed.

"And do you wanna know the worst part? YOU ARE CURRENTLY WIELDING A ZANPOKTOU. IN ITS BANKAI FORM. That makes you my greatest threat in the current area."

His eyes flared, and the reiatsu in the area became nigh unbearable. He began to shake as his maw opened, slowly drawing in dark-red energy.

"You're no better than a Shinigami. You came off to me as one of the most evil bastards in all of existance. YET YOU ARE WIELDING THE ONLY TYPE WEAPON THAT HELP TO PURIFY THE COSMOS."

He landed a few yards from Shive and Solranous, the sphere in his maw filling it completely.

"Have a nice time in Hueco Mundo. They'll pounce on you like sharks to a bloody carcass, what with all of your reiatsu." He hissed.

Evihs then fired the Grand Cero, the blast slamming into Armageddon's central head and blowing it off. Evihs let out the most horrific shriek anyone had ever heard as his claws began to glow purple, then extended extremely fast, stabbing into Armageddon's leg. It didn't do much damage, but that wasn't the point.

Armageddon couldn't move.

Evihs turned to Solranous and Shive, growling,

"Though I despise those who wield a Zanpoktou, I despise wanna-be's even more. If you're going to attack him, I suggest you do it now. I can't hold this forever."

Shive just stood there, dumbfounded.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

(OOC: If not Evihs against Armageddon, then it would have been Armageddon against Evihs.)

A snarl eminated from Armageddon. The demon's gray reiatsu surged up through Evihs' extended claws, giving the Hollow a massive shock that forced him to release his grip on Armageddon. He did not pursue another attack on Evihs' though.

"So... You cannot sense the difference between mine and their's? A pity. Let me demonstrate why mine's is different. DEATH WAVE (Note: Death Wave = Zanpoktou ability.)" After calling the attack, Armageddon's two remaining heads unleashed black waves of necromantic reiatsu at Evihs. The twin waves washed over him... But there was no pain. As the waves receded, Ehivs was completely unharmed.

"You see? My Zanpoktou is different because it cannot hurt a Hollow. In a sense, its just a normal weapon that can be used in a Zanpoktou-like fashion. However, I do not need it to hurt you, as you have seen with my discharge of energy. Also, conserning my center head-" The two remaining head gripped the stump of center neck at the base, and forcefully ripped it off. He discarded the severed stump like it was garbage, before two new heads and necks grew from the remains. "-You did not realize I am a Hydra, therefore, I cannot be killed by decapitation."

"Isn't the Hydra something that demi god person from Greek Mythology fought?" Solranous thought aloud.

"It is," Myrr answered him, still tense and asking questions in her own mind.

"Anyways, it is time you know exactly what my purpose is. Every one hundred years, starting from one hundred years ago, a monster will come to purge all of life in one form or another. The event was known before then. It was known as...

Armageddon. The end of the world as you all know it. Let me clue you in. I am the demon that will bring about a purge of all life. So thorough will the extermination be that not even the tiniest specks of bacteria will be left alive to reproduce. Hence my name.

So Shive, you are wrong. When I control the realm, there will be no one to stop me, for all forms of life will be extinguished."

Armageddon paused after that, letting what he assumed was dread sink in. He flared his reiatsu to maximum power, which became so thick it was difficult to see him through it.

"We won't let you do that, Armageddon." Solranous declared, standing tall with Kizoku in hand.

"What?"

"It's ironic, really. I see the entirety of myself in the story of Drake Tanum. Techinically dead, yet still alive, once controlled by a force greater then myself against impossible odds. And the real kicker is: Now I've gone against you. Your greatest servent shall become your most hated enemy!" Solranous explained, flaring his own reiatsu.

"Come, face your doom then." Armageddon taunted, flares building in his four maws.

"Vampyric Flames!" Solranous called out. The ens of Kizoku's chain, which was around Solranous' shoulder, slid down into his hand, unravelling all of the chain around his arm to increase Kizoku's range. The dragon swund the sword around Armageddon's four necks, causing the beast to have his reiatsu drained. Armageddon snarled, but he couldn't do anything to stop Solranous. That was the problem of transforming into this state, all of Armageddon's spells and long range attacks became reiatsu-based. That meant if some one could drain his reiatsu, he would be helpless.

Solranous pulled Kizoku back, baut caught the 'handle' in the opposite hand that held the chain.

"Let's see how you like getting your own energy flung at you! Vampire Flame Blast!" The dragon swung his zanpoktou by the chain, carving a circle in the air around him with neon blue fire. Gray and blue reiatsu energy coelased in the middle of the ring, wich was then launched at Armageddon. It impacted with Armageddon's back, blowing straight through his reiatsu without being hindered, since it technically was his reiatsu. The demon bellowed in pain as his back was seared with his own energy.

"You will pay for that with death!" Armageddon bellowed as he launched many flares at Solranous. The dragon artfully dodged the flares one by one without breaking a sweat.

"What's wrong, Armageddon? Your aim is off!"

"I wasn't aiming at you." Armageddon shot back.

"Huh?" Solranous turned to the direction the flares were going, and his eyes shrank in fear.

They were heading for the abandoned district.

And no body could stop them except Armageddon himself.

"Kisara..." Solranous whispered her name in terror, just as the flares impacted, taking seven-eights of the district out instintaneously. The dragon growled, turning back to Armageddon.

"YOU bastard! HOW DARE YOU TAKE INNOCENT LIVES LIKE THAT!" Solranous bellowed, trembling with the amount of anger he had. "I'LL KILL YOU IF ITS THE LAST THING I EVER DO!"

[Talon]

Evihs shrugged.

"Oh. Never mind then." He stated.

He then vanished. Shive, however, was shaking in anger. Most of the Abandoned District had just ben wiped out in a single go, possibly along with his friends. Shive screamed in rage as his reiatsu flared into life once more, and Hakaisha stated,

Oh, we are SO kicking his ass for that.

Shive growled as he stepped forward a pace, and Hakaisha hissed,

I've hear that you've been fighting less like yourself since you've arrived in this time. I've heard you were once a freak when fighting. Is that so?

Shive stopped and thought about that. That was true...

How long has it been since you've really shown your true shade of bloodlust? Your last encounter with Daedalus? Hakaisha continued.

Shive twitched at the neck. This was a perfect time to throw caution to the wind...

What did he have to lose?

Let your inner freak out. Fight as you please. Hakaisha finished with a smirk in her voice.

A grin spread across Shive's face, and his eyes widened in glee. Shive let out a trumpeting roar as he rushed forward and shoved Hakaisha into one of Armageddon's throats, then let go of her and latched onto the demon's back. He seemed to hunch over as he drove his claws into the demon's back, peeling away shreds of flesh at a time. The dragonkin then bit into the nearest neck he could find and ripped out a mouthful of black flesh, then shoved his claws into the hole, digging through Armageddon's thorat. The battle-frenzied Shive dissapeared into Armageddon's neck, then burst out of the underside of the demon's stomach in a spray of blood.

He jumped up and ripped Hakaisha out of the demon's neck, still grinning as he was covered in gore and blood, then dragged the blade along the demon-hydra's front before screaming,

"KAI!"

Directly below the demon. The wave of reiatsu ripped forth and into the hole Shive had exited from, bursting out of the hydra's back in another spray of red. Shive let out a derranged cackle as he grabbed one of the demon's heads and shoved a claw into each of it's eyes before ripping the optics out. He exhaled a blast of acid into the hydra's empty sockets, hissing as it ate away the front of that head's brain.

Shive bounced backwards, then dragged his finger along the edge of the blade, wiping the blood onto his claw. His pupils were nothing but slits as he licked the blood off and muttered,

"Hmmm. You don't taste half-bad."

He then gave an insane grin.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"I don't taste half bad? That's a strange thing to say in the midst of battle. Besides, what do you plan to do? Make me bleed to death? As effect as that is, it is a worthless endeavor against me!" Armageddon commented, growling amidst the pain he recieved. His heads aimed at Shive. "DEATH WAVE!" The demon hydra shrieked. Four waves of necromantic reiatsu slammed into Shive, making the dragonkin roar as its effects took their toll. The dragonkin's skin melted away somewhat, like acid would have done, had it affected him.

Armageddon cut the stream off, realizing that some it drained out of his wounded neck. Solranous roared, charging at Armageddon. The demon was ready this time, and flared his reiatsu, Solranous plummeted from the weight on him when he entered Armageddon's reiatsu.

"damn, How can one demon hold that much reiatsu!?" Solranous wondered. Myrr was sitting back at the side lines, cheering the two of them on. She was a non-factor in the fight because of Armageddon's reiatsu blocking her. He only hoped Armageddon didn't target her, because he wouldn't be able to protect her.

"Magma Rocket!" Solranous called, firing three flares at the wound in Armageddon's neck. It was a fruitless attempt, the flares were smothered by Armageddon's reiatsu.

"You think you can wound me further with attacks as pathetic as that!? HA!" Armageddon called. The demon stomped his foot on Solranous, firing a flare at his face. Solranous bellowed with pain when the flare detonated, but he wouldn't give up. With all of his might, he tried to force Armageddon's foot up and off of himself.

[Talon]

Shive bum-rushed the foot on Solranous and did a 180 just as he was about to impact, the blade crackling.

"KAI!" He boomed.

As the blade impacted the leg, the wave of energy shot out and severed the appendage, covering Shive in a fresh coat of blood. Shive then fired off a Fireball at point-blank range into the stump, blasting himself and cauterizing the wound in the process. As pieces fell from Shive's armor, he asked,

"Why do I say it? Well, why do you torture the lives of these two innocent people?" Gesturing to Solranous and Myrr.

Shive's reiatsu began to cirlce about him like a whirlpool as he continued,

"Because you enjoy it, you sick f***."

He rocketed off and slammed his fist through one of the head's bottom jaw, then reached in and ripped out it's tongue and threw it to the side. Shive scrambled inside, cackling like a madman, then the head was split in half as Hakaisha spun in a wheel-like motion. Shive kicked the head away from him, screaming,

"IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I LAST FELT LIKE THIS!"

His derranged grin merely grew as Hakaisha shifted back into her unreleased state.

W-what are you doing? She asked nervously.

You'll see... if anything, I'll just get harmed. He replied.

"SHINSEKI!" Shive boomed.

The reiatsu around Armageddon dimmed and shrank as Shive's rapidly expanded, whatever injuries he had were beginning to bleed faster. He grunted in pain as he waved his hand across the blade, stating,

"HOUKOU, HIDOI-HAKAISHA!"

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! Hakaisha screamed.

Shive hefted the blade, which was wrapped in a vortex of reiatsu as more wounds appeared on his body, emitting energy. He grunted at Solranous, asking,

"Sol! I need help with this! I say we hit him at the same time! I need your answer soon, cause I can't hold this in forever!"

He gritted his teeth as he waited a response.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

"Got it! Solranous replied, taking to the skies. Armageddon was weaken, and his reiatsu was dimmed, but he had a bad feeling it would still protect him.

"Vampyric Flames!" Again the blade was twirled around Armageddon's necks by its chain, draining away more of Armageddon's reiatsu. It didn't stop until the demon's reiatsu was almost non-existant

"We have our greatest opening now, since he can't defend himself! Your right, we have to hit him together while he's weak!"

"Fools! Do you not realise that killing me will extinguish the artificial life of BOTH Myrr and Solranous!?" Armageddon questioned.

"WHAT!?" Myrr screeched in surprise. Solranous hesitated. He forgot to tell Shive! If it were just himself, he would have no problem with it... But now that his daughter is involved... He couldn't...

(OOC: God, Armageddon is evil.)

[Talon]

Shive paused as a spurt of blood erupted from his shoulder. The reiatsu died down, and Shive grunted in agony. He turned towards Solranous, and asked with a pained face,

"Why didn't you tell me? If I had killed him, both of you... oh no..."

Another spurt of blood erupted from his hip, and he restrained a cry of pain.

YOU NEED TO RID YOURSELF OF THAT REIATSU. NOW. Hakaisha hissed frantically.

But if I fire... that might kill Armageddon... and in turn, kill- Shive began to think before being cut off...

"Eh? What's that? BOTH of them will die if the demon dies?!" A voice from above cackled.

Shive's eyes widened and his pupils shrank.

Oh god no. He thought.

Floating a good 50 feet in the air was Daedalus, holding a massive, 12-foot long scythe.

"Well, that is certainly interesting." He hissed, grinning.

A bolt of lightning ripped into Armageddon's flank, followed by several Fireballs, blowing a hole open in the demon's side. Daedalus rushed forward and somersaulted, landing on Armageddon's back and tearing a massive gash in his back wit the scythe.

"IT'S GETTING THREE BIRDS WITH ONE STONE!" He cackled madly.

((I wouldn't underestimate Daedalus's evil either))

[lordnidhogg]

"LANCE OF LONGINUS!" a Heavenly voice cried. A massive lance made of pure light ripped through the very fabric of time in space, the tear visible literally as a glowing tear in midair. The lance moved at impossible speed and ripped through Armageddon's head, sticking out of him. Everything hung still for a moment, Daedalus frozen at the sight of the angel-and all were in awe of the several hundred foot lance projecting from the demon's body.

WarAngel extended her arm and closed her fist. Dozens of Lances tore through the air and in seconds Armageddon was a glowing pincushion. Deadalus was too small to be hit by more than two lances, but he was run through twice. It was practically over right then. The amount of energy was incredible. But WarAngel wasn't done.

"WRATH OF GOD!!! She screamed. Small beads of light formed at the tip of each wing. Her halo swords began to glow and spin at high speed, and then they left her presence and began to circle around Daedalus. Dozens of light arrows formed in the air around her. Then a truly massive sword appeared in her left hand, and a massive lance-that exceeded the others in size and was a different shape-appeared in her left.

The beads blasted into holy particle energy beams, the halo surrounding Daedalus closed around him, impaling him with a dozen swords. The arrows fired and rained down upon Armageddon and Daedalus, piercing whatever was left to pierce left from the lances. The lance hit Armageddon dead in the front, piercing him to his core. And finally, WarAngel came down on Armageddon's head, piercing his head all the way through with her sword. As the coup de' grace she unleashed holy lightning that arced between every lance and sword and arrow in both villain's bodies, frying them with holy energy. And she continued to increase the holy energy until the three of them became totally encased in a growing sphere of light.

[Talon]

((You just had to attack Daedalus too, didn't ya?))

And then, everything went black.

The sky was shrouded in a supernatural darkness as the place where daedalus has been struck suddenly burst into dark-red flames. A large, winged shape emerged, a pair of red-purple eyes glaring out from the inferno. Shive was shaking in his armor as a bead of sweat ran down his face, and he backed up a step.

"You dare challenge a lord of the Abyss, Seraphim?" One of the darkest voices in existance asked.

It looked like Daedalus, but for one, his scales have turned pitch-black, and his mane has become longer and is chrome. His eyes are now a mix between red and purple, and he has developed fangs that jut out even when his mouth is closed. On each shoulder is a 4-foot long, spiraled spike colored a dark purple. Each forearm has a row of sharp, bony ridges jutting forth from them, as does each shin. He has a row of spikes running down his spine down to the middle of his tail. Finally, he has sprouted another smaller pair of wings below his normal ones, the horns on his temples have lengthened and curved forward a bit more. His claws seemed to have lengthened, and he has a few small spikes on either side of his jawbone. (Note: any new spikes or growths break holes in armor).

The flames around him crackled and popped, writhing as if alive. In fact, one could see souls of the deceased within their confines, mouths open in silent, eternal screams. The scythe in his hand crackled with black, purple, and red energy as he swung it to the side, a scowl on its face.

"Although I have not been fully released, this fusion of my form and my host's should suffice for now." It hissed.

Shive's knees buckled underneath of him as he gasped silently, a look of sheer terror on his face.

"Not him... not him..." He stuttered.

"Thouy shalt pay for thine imputence, angel." It hissed.

"Arthreonus... Lord of the Shade..." Shive muttered, still wide-eyed.

Arthreonus hefted the scythe, then brought it back down swiftly. A sudden spray of blood erupted from WarAngel's shoulder as the demi-demon smirked. He raised the scythe again as the flames moaned and shrieked horrbily, spreading outwards. The daemon merely deepened his scowl as the flames gathered about him for a second, then launched back out as multiple waves of profane fire, washing over WarAngel.

These flames seemed to actually affect her as the trapped souls within their confies clawed at her divine form, the flames singing and burning her with profane might. Arthreonus then slowly raised his palm towards her as the flames around her dissapated and reformed around him. Bolts of red-and-black lightning flared out and shot through two of her wings, followed by a sphere of black and dark-red fire, which impacted her directly and enveloped her in a large explosion of hellfire.

The daemon merely stood his ground, the flames churning about him in anger and despair.

((And yes, Artheonus is THAT bad. And this is just him partially released...))

Armageddon grunted painfully. He was weak, dangerously wounded, and the angel was here, that was enough to justify his escape.

"Infernal... Hell... Portal" the hydra demon whispered so that no one could hear him. Fire erupted bellow Armageddon, opening into a black hole in the ground, dropping him into the portal, which sealed up immediately afterwards.

"S***! He got away!" Myrr growled and Solranous was stunned.

"How in the seven hells did he survive that, let alone have enough energy to escape!?" the dragon roared, but it was already to late to follow. He turned to the good dragonkin close to him.

"We may not be able to kill Armageddon, but lets strike down Daedalus and his demon ally with the power we absorbed from Armageddon! The energy we have now should be enough to at least wound him to a point that he'll be forced to retreat, either that, or it should kill him." He whispered just high enough for Shive to hear him, yet low enough that Arthreonus didn't notice his words.
