Michael A. Malachim's Story

Angel Meets An Angel

Angel looked up from his Gameboy as the man outside knocked on the door. "Come in, my children~". He shouted with a semi-snarky tone that was full of redicule and pride. After all, he'd managed to capture the Phoenix. The men brought a man in as they had him stop, each of them were holding his arms. "Sir, we have caught this man trying to get in here without permission". "I was under the impression you roughly brought me here... Honestly, how is this a formal treatment?", the man commented. Angel looked up and spoke again, a grin stretching across his face. "And who are you?". "The better question is... Who are YOU?". Raphael smugly asked. "Who are you to talk like that to our Archknight?! We should beat you for that!". "Beat me? My, you gentlemen don't recognize me... The old timers would. Arthur knew me. But I don't know you."

At the mention of Arthur's name, Angel rocketed up from his seat and withdrew Excalibur, whom exclaimed in awe. "Ooooh, Raphaeeel! Long time no see!~". Arthur look from the blade to the man before him, and growled. "So you're Raphael, eh? Men, leave us". Raphael smirked as the men quickly stumbled out and closed the door behind them while Raphael remained quiet and watched Angel.
"So why are you here, Raphael?". Raphael chuckled. "I heard you have finally captured Deon Morris?". Angel furrowed his brows. "That wasn't an answer". Raphael got a serious face at this. "I know.... I came here because I was wondering whether you knew about the set-up or not?". Angel turned to the Angel (LOOOL) and spoke. "Of course, I was one of the people who thought of it, of course". Raphael shook his head. "Not that set up... The one Kallos has planned". He said. "... Only Deon would know about it, so I've heard". Angel had turned away from the angel by this time, but as those words registered with his mind he whirled around. "What set-up!?".
Raphael shrugged. "I believe they are planning something... Or so I'm led to believe. It seems three of your boys have finally found some of them.... But I don't think those will turn out to be good results. So... Deon might know what Kallos is up to". Angel turned away again, rubbing his wrist tenderly. "Why would he know what Kallos is up to? What are you saying I should do!?". Raphael sighed. ".... Interrogate him, you idiot". Angel turned, and his grin widened considerably. "So, what should we use to tortu- Interrogate him, Raphael?". Raphael rose a brow. "Just bring the most holy things you can and I will be there... Arrange a schedule. I will make sure your men stay alive...". Angel rose an eyebrow, and spoke. "Can't you just summon some Holy Weapons yourself? And why can't we interrogate him now? I've been waiting for this day I'm not going to delay it any longer". Angel turned and growled. "Even for an angel".

"One problem. Renegades. Plus I am not the one who cares about this information, now do I?". Angel growled at Raphael. "What do you mean 'Renegades'? He's been officially stripped of his title so they have no way to actually get him back or stop me. It's been declared and it won't ever change".
"They can declare war though. And then you'll lose most of your entire forces that another man built up. Just to -- what, keep one phoenix alive? Heh... Good luck remaining a hero after that". Angel turned and sighed. "I was hoping that I could get your help with that. You are an angel, and that Michael is a half-angel. Why not persuade him somehow?...". "....Or, we could hit him where it hurts. That Kasha is close to him.... Maybe...". Angel was interrupted as Raphael spoke again. "No. I already had Gabriel go there - they'll try to save him, no doubt. No doubt they'll also try to find us and make an alliance... Heh. Wait till they learn of my plan. But do you as you wish - don't mind me. I will help of course - just in my own way. If you don't like that, well... I could just leave you to try to interrogate him yourself". Angel growled again. "Well then, we shall be off to the dungeon where Deon is located. I don't care if you accompany me or not, but make sure the Renegades don't interrupt me. Or there will be hell to pay". Angel walked out of the room laughing in victory. Raphael shrugged. "Suit yourself". He mumbled before following him.

Some people do x3 - CAUTION CAUTION]

The cold, dimly lit room was dark and cold (Oh, ya don't say!), the only light coming from a single dangling bulb that was hanging from the roof, directly above the figure that was tied to the chair. The grimy, stone brick walls were covered with blood and bits of torn flesh, hanging from the roof were several corpses hung from reddened meat hooks that were rusted from age and overuse, while the bodies were rotting with decay, the maggots feasting on the death inside of them spilling onto the floor and crawling, squirming around as they tried to find new flesh to devour. The chair was made of steel, with both leather straps and steel restraints around the wrists and ankles. Large, sharp screws were built into the restraints, and if the person in the chair struggled enough, they would drop down forcefully, piercing straight through their flesh and bones and into the chair below, locking them there.

Deon sat in said chair, staring at the dirty floor that was covered in a mix that seemed to be of blood and... something else. Deon didn't have much time to figure out what, as a door in front of him opened and into the room stepped Angel, followed by another man that Deon hadn't met before, but his senses were telling him that the man was dangerous. Maybe not so much physically, but he seemed so... There wasn't a word Deon could find to describe it due to the massive amount of sedatives flowing through his system. Deon looked up in a haze, his eyes slightly blurry because of the amount of Holy Water that had been poured on him as he stepped out of the Hummer that had brought him to where he was. He recalled Angel heading to his office or something, not that it mattered now since the man was standing before him babbling about something that Deon didn't really care about.

What Deon did care about however, was the large thing they had brought into the room with them. It was concealed under a blanket or a cloth for the moment, but Deon had a feeling that whatever it contained wouldn't be pretty. Not for him, and not for anybody who had ever seen whatever was under that covering before him. As Angel ceased his ranting, which was something about being the victor and Deon finally being where he should be, Deon smirked and laughed in his face. Deon shut up almost immediately as the covering was pulled away to reveal innumerable objects of torture and pain, ranging from saws to scalpels to crosses and bottles of concentrated Holy Water. Deon eyed all of these, and glared up at Angel with a smirk on his face. "Bring it on, asswipe".

Angel simply grinned and turned away, facing the trays that were filled to the brim with instruments of torture, and he bit his lip. Deon figured he was probably trying to decide on what to torture him with first, but Deon smirked as he pulled out a simple scalpel and held it up to the light. Apparently it wasn't good enough though, because Angel put it back, favoring a golden carving knife, or at least that's what it seemed like, over it. Angel pulled his arm back to stab Deon, but paused momentarily and grinned. "Holy Water". Angel grinned wider as he grabbed a jar of Concentrated Holy Water and doused the Knife into it. "This is a Holy Object, having been blessed by numerous people and consecrated. This might sting a bit... Who am I kidding! This will hurt a ton!". Angel grinned as he thrust the knife into Deon's stomach, the sound of splitting flesh and gushing blood echoing through the room as Angel pulled the knife upwards and the across Deon's chest, cracking ribs and slashing organs that spilled their contents and blood all over the seat and floor. Deon coughed as Angel completed the square, grabbing the piece of flesh with his hand and pulling it away slowly until he yanked on it, tearing it apart and filling the room with the sounds of tearing flesh and dripping blood.

Angel's eyes widened as he reached into Deon's now torn open chest cavity, and grasped his Liver. With a mighty tug, he wrenched it free and threw it down onto the floor, ignoring it completely until he grabbed Deon's kidney and did the same thing. Angel turned around, grinning as he picked up the organs and began to cut them into pieces. As he cut, his mind was racing. He finished fairly quickly and dipped the pieces into the concentrated Holy Water before turning to Deon with a smirk. "Open wiiiiide~". Angel leaned forward and grabbed Deon, forcing his mouth open and pushing the pieces of his own guts down his own throat, causing him to choke and tear up. Angel grinned, turning away and pulling out a drill that he soaked in Holy Water. Deon spat out his organ pieces and watches as his chest slowly regenerated. Angel grinned and slammed the Drill into Deon's eye socket, pushing it all the way through into Deon's skull until he stopped moving completely, and the blood had drenched the both of them.

Angel pulled the Drill out of Deon's eye socket, watching as the Phoenix coughed and shook his head in pain. "Fuck you, Angel. On second thought no, I'm not Gay". Angel growled and tossed the Drill away, grabbing the knife and cutting Deon open again before grasping his heart and tearing it out of him with a sickening crunch and a stomach-turning squish. Angel grinned. "I'll put your Heart here".
"Make it Explode".
"...Why would I-"
"MAKE IT EXPLODE!"
Angel growled, reaching under the Desk and pulling out two vials of alternating liquid which he pour together onto Deon's heart, causing it to literally explode.
"There....Now-"
"OOOOOOOOH YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! THAT WAS SO GOOD!"
"The Power of Christ Compels You!"
"The Power of Christ Fucks You!"

Angel growled to himself, turning away from the Phoenix who stuck his tongue out at him mockingly. Angel sigh before spinning around, unsheathing Excalibur, and cleaving Deon's head off with it. As Deon's head flew through the air and landed, he had a look of dejection on his face. "What a spoilsport....".

Omega's Carnage

Shin was pelting down the Hallways of the Renegades HQ when he realised that he had absolutely no idea where he was going. He skidded to a stop and rubbed his forehead, the effects of the Crime-scene were still hitting him. He desparately needed to find Scott, and he wouldn't rest until he did so, so he took off down yet another corridor in search of the man. Eventually, Shin found Scott leaning against a wall, sipping coffee and commenting on how good it was. Shin skidded to a stop just in front of Scott, and grabbed his hand. "We have an emergency in Tokyo, just come with me!". With that, he began to drag Scott to the Monitor Room. Scott didn't resist, and Shin pulled him into the Monitor room, ordering for the Monitors to be switched to Tokyo 73, the scene of a rampage. "This... This was done by someone calling themselves 'Omega', Scott". Shin watched as Scott's eyes widened and he dropped his coffee, his cup shattering on the floor as a barely audible "God help us" escaped his lips.

Shin turned to Scott. "Reports say that he wears a hood and cloak and was conversing with one... Mr Alberto Farrantino, a mid-forties Mobster-esque man who was into all the illegal stuff". Shin sighed. "See what I mean by emergency? This is only the first...". Scott groaned at this, and spoke. "I need you to do me a favor, Shinji". Shin turned, a quizzical expression on his face. "What is it, Scott?".
"Make reservations for Tokyo".
"What about the other countries?". Shinjei inquired.
"Any situations I need to know?".
They're all the same, Scott. There's been at least two in every country. All in one single night".
Scott paused.
"....Make reservations for America, Australia and Russia as well".
"Done and done and done, anything else?".
"Not for now. Just... Keep a a look out for anything related to 'Omega'.
"Sure thing, Scott". Scott sighed and walked away. "I'll go inform the WDL to update their List". With that, Shin was left alone in the Monitor room with the spilled Coffee. He looked down at it and called for someone else to clean it up. "I have some work to do....".

The Sweet Smell of Spring

The cool night breeze drifted through the Renegades HQ, carrying with it rose petals of few amounts. Little did the occupants of the building know that the cause was a certain person standing outside the building, twirling a parasol in her hand with a smirk. "Honestly, such a remarkable leap in technology these Humans have made, but I fear the Kappa are still far, far ahead in that respect". The figure grinned, reaching out and grasping a rose petal and pulling it to her lips gently. "How far did he go for them, I wonder? Such a carefree person must have had reservations about such a punishment. Especially one such as him. Isn't that right, Remilia?". Suddenly, the area beside the figure rippled, expanding and then contracting. Stretching and moving until the very fabric of space-time was torn. From within the tear, another figure emerged, smiling lightly and twirling a glass of wine between her fingers. "Tell me, Aurora, how much fun shall you be having with his.... 'request', I wonder?~". Aurora grinned, and turned to Remilia. "Oh, I think I shall be having much fun with it. Much fun with her, I might even say". Remilai grinned, sinking into the tear and causing it to vanish from sight. "Remember, the invitations must be given out, Aurora~". Aurora sighed, and spoke out loud. "I am aware, my friend".

Suddenly, the amount of flower petals flowing through the Base increased dramatically, a torrent of petals whipping through the base and a ghostly, mystical voice reached out to Michael. "Meet me in the Courtyard~". The torrent of petals stopped, a vicious whirlwind of petals of numerous flowers appearing in the Courtyard. It "I'm here.... Show yourself". The whirlwind reacted to Michael's voice, the figure inside being visible for only a second. Her green hair and red eyes along with her semi-pale skin marked her as one of the most well-known Youkai on the planet. "....So, am I meeting the famous Poison Ivy from the comics?". At this remark, the petals moved and began to wrap around Michael, clearing the space between the two figures and revealing the female figure fully. "My, my. Such a gracious host~ Why, you haven't even truly introduced yourself yet. Where are your manners, young man?~". Her lips turned up slightly, her playful tone echoing above the torrent of the winds. "As long as I don't get a kiss of Death... The name's Michael Malachim. I didn't think we'd be getting such a chance to see you come right to our doors.... You do know how dnagerous the Exorcists are becoming in this area?". Aurora smirked. "If you are threatening me, it is a hopeless cause.You are no danger to me now that the Phoenix is gone, Michael~".

Aurora let out a laugh and spoke. "My, my. Such bravado you have! Although I could destroy this base easily, I am not here to fight".
"I was trying to be helpful, but whatever.... Why are you here then?".
"Simply because a certain young man asked me for a favor~".
"What young man?".
"The one that gave himself up for his comrades. The Phoenix, of course".
"Ronove is a brilliant Butler, and Luna is a close associate of mine, Michael~ Although they are not mine. Tell me, how long has it been since I was last seen in the outside world, hmm?~".
"......I can't recall. I haven't been in the Business long enough".
"Are you aware of who I am?~".
"Your description matches that of a certain Youkai's".
"Oh, and which Youkai would that be?".
"Aurora..... But she was thought to be dead".
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Deon simply spared me, I must say~".
"Spared you? When did he....?".
"Oh, maybe around..... seventy-three years ago, if I can recall it properly?~".
"His bargain was very, very well thought out. No doubt he has an idea about how to escape his current.... 'situation'". Aurora laughed lightly, a laugh that shower that she knew something.
"......That guy is just one mess after another. But what are you saying?".
Aurora grinned, and gave Michael a look. "I have no idea what you're talking about".
".....So what do you have to say then?".
"Show me.... Mireya Nightless".
Before Michael could answer, a man cleaved his way through the flowers and approached Aurora. "Who the hell do you think you are, barging in here like you own the place, eh? I'm the Guard here! I'm the one who technically runs this pla-". Before he could continue to yell at the Youkai Lady further, she shoved the tip of her Umbrella into his mouth, causing him to choke lightly. Then, Aurora chanted something to herself and grinned. "Flower Spark". Suddenly, a brilliant light shot out from the tip of Aurora's umbrella, blasting the Guard straight up into the sky, albeit without a head or neck, and some of his shoulders were missing as well. Aurora kept the beam concentrated on the man until it went out, and then she turned to Michael. "Now would be good, thanks~".
Michael sighed and nodded. "Release me first...".
Aurora grinned. "Who said you were trapped, Michael?~".
Michael tried to move forward, but a barrier of petals stopped him. Aurora grinned. "I'm not letting you near me just yet, Angel boy~".
Aurora watched as Michael furrowed his brows and headed towards the Renegades Base, with Aurora following behind him.

"Honestly, the service here is horrifyingly lax. Please, someone hand me some Earl Grey Tea and some Scones with Jam?~".

~ Mysterious Attack! Raphael's confusing appearance! ~

Paimon opened his eyes slowly as the liquid-glass sphere floated in front of him once more. "Is it something interesting?" The rather seductive voice of Ophidis reminded him that the female was still accompanying him. Without answering, he raised his hand and a shadow creature was slowly emerging from his palm. After a few moments, it formed into a small bat. The creature had golden eyes and immediately flew away to a destination with a message in tow. "Oh, the so-called do-gooders..." She leaned from behind him to get a closer look at the sphere not minding that her breast were rather rubbing on his head. "Protecting your property?" This time she received an answer as he closed his eyes once more.

"It is an investment."

The group of angels were moving forward, the leader looking around as they moved. "Damnation... Where are we?!" He said as he leaped up and looked around. "Why has someone summoned us to the mortal realm?!" He then landed in front of the group and growled. "I will have answers..." ~ Elegia was currently patrolling her dominion as she saw an all-familiar bat flying towards her. This said creature landed on her shoulder. It was then she heard a voice directly speaking in her head. "Make sure no harm comes to her." After the message was delivered, the bat dissolved in a wave of shadows. "What could this be about... Did information leak out?" She muttered under her breath. Regardless, she had a rather complicated expression on her face as she disappeared in a pile of dusts.

The angel stopped as the others followed suit. "Let us take a break... The mortal realm has somehow weakened us from unleashing our full power!" He sat down with his legs crossed as he closed his eyes, waiting.... ~ Devant was currently reading a book which had the title of How To Deal With Retards. "This is quite interesting..." He noted to no one in particular as he continued to read while walking. He just got out school and was about to attend to some part-time job around the corner when he noticed a rather curious snow falling on the page of his book. Soon, the small grain of snow glowed and came out Elegia's image briefly. "Go and check the Renegade HQ. Angels are near there." Then the snow melted completely. "Hmm... It would be better to stay away... But if I knew better that Oni has rushed head-on." As if on cue, Alvanzo has arrived at the borders of the Renegade Headquarters. His eyes narrowed as he picked up a scent that irritated him and which was second to the stupid fox. "Angels."

The angels soon came into sight again as they all began to rise up into the air. "Alright men.... Prepare to fire! Destroy any demons you find! Interrogate any one of them, and when they don't comply, kill them!" Alvanzo did not waste time as he rushed towards them but before he could reach them a flying book hit the head of angels' leader. "What was that!?" Alvanzo commented looking at the direction of where the book came from and growled in annoyance. "Stupid fox." Devant simply waved at Alvanzo and walked towards the group calmly. The commanding angel growled as he pointed his sword at them. "YOU TWO! Who are you and why have you summoned us to the Mortal Realm?! From the Creator's eyes watching above us, we shall not rest until we are returned to Heaven!" Alvanzo looked at the said angel with a deathly glare. If it was possible to kill someone with it, they would have been all dead. "Shut your damn trap, you sad excuse for a bird!" With that, Alvanzo punched the ground and it immediately split into two as waves could be felt radiating. Devant shook his head at the Oni's outburst. Unlike the Oni, he does not violently rushes. Instead, he was more interested about the word 'summoned'. "Summoned you? That would be very impossible."

"Someone has summoned us to the Mortal Realm!" With that, he pointed his sword down as a beam of light hit the crack caused by Alvanzo, causing the earth to repair itself. "We shall not rest until you two give us the truth! MEN! KILL THEM ALL!" With that, the angels rushed in towards the two demons. "They are so unreasonable and they call themselves angels." Devant commented in a rather bored manner as white globes of fire appeared around him. "Hey Alvanzo." Alvanzo glared at Devant. "What do you want?!" Devant shrugged his shoulders. "Let's see who kills more angels between us." Alvanzo's deep purple eyes burned with vigor. "Bring it on! You'll lose!" With that said, Alvanzo attacked the angels rushing head-on. The oni grabbed one of the angels by the head and crushed its skull while avoiding the attacks in a rather brash manner. As for Devant, he ordered the white fires that surrounded him rushed towards the enemies. "I never lose." The commanding angel furrowed his brows as he prepared himself, meanwhile, his men continued rushing at them in full, despite a majority of them starting to die due to the two's obvious difference in power. Alvanzo punched one of the angels in the gut and effectively created a gaping hole with the innards turned into goo. As for Devant, he had burned most of the angels coming after him to a crisp. Not too long, the two were done. "How many did you kill?" Alvanzo asked. "58." Devant answered and Alvanzo clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Same." The kitsune looked at the commanding angel. "He's the tiebreaker then."

The Commanding Angel's wings spread out then as a holy light surrounded him at this. He then sent out holy water at the two before flying in towards Alvanzo and aiming to pierce his sword through his chest. Alvanzo covered his eyes at the bright light. It was quite irritating to his eyes while Devant stood there unmoved. At the same time, Alvanzo felt a burning sensation on his skin. "Stupid holy water! It still stings in this form!" Despite the distractions, Alvanzo grabbed the sword's blade. It burned his skin but the Oni did not mind as he grabbed the angel by the neck. "This is my win." Then, he crushed the guy's windpipe. "Think again." Devant had his hand pierced at the angel's heart in a through and through. The image standing beside Alvanzo dispersed into flames as it was just an illusion. "Well done you two." Raphael said as he clapped his hands, having appeared sometime during the fight. "Here is the perpetrator." Devant noted as he pulled out his hand from the corpse. "Another angel.. Why am I surrounded by annoying existences." Alvanzo gritted his teeth and dropped the corpse to the ground. He could not believe still that it was a tie. Devant sighed at this and looked at the newcomer. "Interesting show you have here."

"Oh it was not me." Raphael commented as he stood up at this. "It was Heaven's will. More specifically... The Seraphim. I understand you intend to keep one of the seven children alive, yes?" Alvanzo raised an eyebrow at this. "Seraphim. So, that old-wives tale is true?" Devant shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps." "Of course they do. Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Rulers, Archangels... All those and more. What you just fought were the weakest of the groups - the common Angels. The Seraphim want this purple-haired woman dead for an obvious reason..." Alvanzo scratched his head in irritation of hearing information. He was not a very intellectual person. "Stupid heaven hierarchy." Devant ignored this once more. "It would be more logical for all the children to be targeted." "They will be. But she is important. God knows what Paimon intends to do with her... And he wants her dead. So that Hell may fall." Devant narrowed his eyes at this. "And pray tell why are you telling us this?" "I am Raphael of the New Angels... God has abandoned me, so, I want to see Paimon take down His greatest defense." Alvanzo smirked at this. "A payback and you want interest on that as well." Devant closed his eyes momentarily. "Revenge is not really becoming of an angel."

"Ah, where are my manners? I am no longer an angel... I am half angel, half human." Alvanzo rolled his eyes at this. "Still with angel blood. It would be better to kill him." With that said, Alvanzo advanced forward. Devant blocked him with a raised arm. "Do you really think that the Master would let you use him even in a tiniest way?" "Your choice whether to believe me or not..." Devant released a sigh. "Not really... We are just pawns here." Alvanzo crossed his arms over his chest. "We have orders and do that." Devant shrugged. "Believing is not even in our itinerary." "My good sirs, it is up to you whether to tell your master of this or not... So, I will ask again. Do you believe me or not?" Alvanzo narrowed his eyes at Raphael. "I hate angels." Devant smirked at this statement. "You need not worry about our Master being told. He is well-informed. As for ourselves, Alvanzo told you perfectly." "So you choose not to believe?" Devant looked at the book he had thrown and picked it up. "Were you not listening. Believing and even choosing is useless with us. But, we will respond when our orders are compromised. So whatever we think does not matter."

Opening a the book, he began reading once more. "In short, your goals or whatever it is doesn't matter to us. If you get in our way, we'll kill you. If you don't, we'll not bother with your likes." Alvanzo glanced at the book Devant was reading. "Everything depends on the next orders we will receive that is all." ".... So you will consider them a threat then?" Alvanzo read the title of the book and raised an eyebrow. "What is that about?" Devant answered nonchalantly. "About you." Then, glanced at Raphael indifferently. "You really don't listen do you? Have your kind become idiots? Like this guy?" Alvanzo started his outburst once more. "What!? You damn good-for-nothing fox!" As he rushed, Devant threw the book on the oni's head deadcenter. "If they get in conflict with out orders, then we will eliminate them as we see fit." ".... You two keep confusing me. I should of asked someone else... But whatever. I came to deliver the message." With that, he vanished. Alvanzo removed the book from his face and tore it apart. "You will pay for this you fox!" Devant completely ignored the oni's outburst and looked at his forced companion. "Too suspicious." Alvanzo stopped his punch in midair. "What?" Devant shrugged. "Those angels did not know their reason for coming here and he comes telling us they were here to kill her." Alvanzo lowered his hand and remembered the commander angel saying something wanting to know the truth. "I guess. They would not come here completely oblivious to their orders now, do they?" Devant nodded at the oni's insight. "Something fishy is really goin on."

~ Confusing messages and a Game... ~

It was about seven P.M. when Sebastian and Ash returned back to the base... Both of them exhausted as they had blown almost all of the hundred dollars Sebastian was given. Sebastian walked off as he went to rest, meanwhile, a lone figure appeared leaning on a wall near Ash. She put a finger to her own lips as she smirked. "Hush... I know about the situation with you and Sebastian." She said, obviously teasing her as she pushed herself off the wall. "Don't worry... Soon those problems will be gone... My name is S by the way..." She tilted her hat down with a smirk as she shook her head slightly. "Don't forget it, kiddo... And remember... I'm always watching!" Before Ash could even ask her a question, she vanished, leaving Ash alone and possibly confused.

~ One hour later... ~

S would be sitting alone in a private place in The Renegades base. She drank yet another bottle of sake - this being her fifth one as she gulped it down like nothing. She finished it and looked at it as she threw it behind her lazily and let it roll into the growing pile of bottles. "Still nothing." She mumbled angrily. Asmodeus was busy trying to sort out what to do with her sisters now that, Deon was gone. She was pacing around and walking just in front of where S sat. "What do we do now....?" S rose a brow at this. "When did you get here, miss I like to not wear pants?" Asmodeus gave S a glare, and turned back to her pacing with a sigh. "I was just walking by, sheesh." S rose a brow at this. "It was a compliment..." Asmodeus sighed. "Yeah, I know but it's just... Deon's gone so.." S blinked and got up, walking over to her. "Huh... I heard you were happy earlier... Hm, so he really has grown on you seven?" Asmodeus turn to the Succubus, and smirked lightly. "Yeah, he has. He's grown on us a lot, since he's our master and all." S smirked back as she hugged Asmodeus and stroked her hair gently. "Hah. You've grown too soft over the years." Asmodeus sighed, and pulled herself away. "I know, but if it wasn't for him, S, half of us would be dead. He sign the contracts when we were dying... To save us. I have no idea why because he never mentioned it after that, but...." "But?"

"We absorb his sins, steal them, hence why we're so distressed now. I absorb his Lust, Lucifer absorbs his Pride, and yeah. So he has to be a horrible person to keep all of us alive, and now that the Madness is back... It's interfering.." "So pretty much... You need temporary replacements?" "Yeah, I guess. But that might break our contract with Deon, although I think he'd rather have us alive and with others than dead and with him... Heh, where's Luci when you need her, eh? She's the leader...." "Hmm... That reminds me. Call Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan and Mammon here." She walked over and knelt down in front of Asmodeus, putting her hands on her shoulders, smirking. "It's time for a fun game~" "Wha? Sure....". Asmodeus closed her eyes, and suddenly the four sisters appeared next to her or around her. "What is it, S?" inquired Mammon. S quickly returned her smirk to a smile and got up slowly. "It's time for a little game, ladies~ Close your eyes for me..." Lucifer sighed, Satan growled, Asmodeus smirked, and Mammon just did what she was told to, but they all ended up with their eyes closed somehow. "What now, S?" S quickly vanished and all of them but Asmodeus felt her kiss them on the lips for a brief second, leaving them frozen as S appeared back beside Asmodeus and put an arm around her shoulders. "Right... Here's the low-down. Each of you has the same objective. The target is named Sebastian Thomas. You all know what he looks like, so I'll make this easy. Each of you will have a turn and for one minute, you will be with him. Each of you must try to somehow get a kiss on his lips - otherwise, poof, you are out of the game. The prize? The winner gets him for an entire day~" Asmodeus would be catching on by now that this was just a big tease at Lucifer to test her. "Here's a nice little touch for those of you who don't want to play..." She snapped her fingers and suddenly Satan, Leviathan and Mammon would become stiff briefly and zombie-like. "Satan, you are angry at Lucifer and want Sebastian for yourself. Leviathan, you are jealous of Lucifer and Sebastian, and want him for yourself. Mammon, you want Sebastain all for yourself." She snapped her fingers and this all came into play. "With that said... Satan, your turn is first~ You other three - go wait somewhere or some shit like that, I don't care where..."

S watched them all leave as she looked over at Asmodeus. "You going to kiss him after the game's done then?" Asmodeus smirked, and waved her hand. "Naaaaah, he's not my type. I like my guys big, thick and hard~" Asmodeus laughed at her own little joke, and eyed S. "Why ARE you doing this?" S took off her hat and swung her head around a few times as she put the hat down on a table. "I want to test Lucifer. If she can't tell the damn boy - well, I'll have to torture her until then~" She then blushes a little. "How do I look without the hat?" "You look fine, S! And your hair is so silky, too! I envy you sometimes, I do...." Asmodeus smiled a bit and brushed a stray bit of hair from her face happily. "You look fine without the hat, Captain S~" S smiled and walked over, wrapping her arms around Asmodeus' neck. "You know... I could be the temporary replacement for you~" She said with a seductive smile. Asmodeus' cheeks redden a tiny bit, and she spoke again. "Well, I guess that could be arranged, eh S~" Asmodeus smirked and pulled the Succubus closer to her, her lips next to her earlobe. "So, shall we sign the contract?~" S chuckled and backed up with her, leaning her back against a wall as she smirked. "I guess... If you don't mind multi-tasking~" She said before bringing Asmodeus in for a full on kiss. Asmodeus giggled, leaning into the kiss and pushing S against the wall and then pressing herself against S. "Mmmmmmm~"

~ Sebastian's situation... ~

Sebastian would be sitting in a room that they had assigned him to. He was currently looking over some notes as he sighed to himself. It was during this Satan quietly sneaked in and tried to kiss him, but Lucifer came in and grabbed her, throwing her into a wall before then dragging her out. Sebastian looked up as he saw his door close again and he shrugged before going back to reading his notes. Thirty seconds passed by without any interruptions. It was at this Leviathan jumped in towards Sebastian, but was grabbed by Lucifer and slammed into the floor before being dragged out too. Sebastian looked up again as he blinked and saw his door close again. One minute and thirty seconds this time... Mammon turned to Sebastian. "Y-Yes.... Erm, Sebastian. Can I ask you something?" Sebastian blinked as he looked at Mammon. "Oh hey, um... Mammon, right?" Mammon turned to Sebastian. "Y-Yes.... Erm, Sebastian. Can I ask you something?" Sebastian rose a brow. "Sure... I guess?" He asked. Two minutes and twenty seconds... Mammon blushed even more, and took Sebastian's hand. "Y-You know, I.... Ever since you were cuddling up with me when Lucifer snapped... I..."

Suddenly, something slammed into the door, and multiple girls arguing outside could be heard. Sebastian glanced to the door and then looked at her. "... You might want to hurry." Mammon looked to the door too and pulled Sebastian towards her at this to try and kiss him. Sebastian felt his eyes widen as he saw her try, but then felt himself.... Fall off the bed and have her land on top of him. Lucifer sprung into action, tackling Mammon off of Sebastian and then quickly crawling back over to him. "Sorry about this, it's S' idea of fun.." Sebastian sat up as he blinked. Three minutes. "....What? Who?" Lucifer spoke with urgency. "Just shut up and kiss me!" Sebastian blushed at this. "W-WHAT?! M-my first kiss?! Are you crazy or something?" "It's either me or one of them, Sebastian!" Sebastian blinked as he looked at her. "......" He sighed and grabbed her shoulders, pulling her over as he pulled her into a kiss. Lucifer moaned lightly as her lips connected to his, and she wrapped her arms around him and began to pull him closer against her.

~ ~ ~

Sebastian was blushing and pushed her off. Several minutes had passed of them continuing to kiss. Sebastian had wanted his first kiss to be that of a special one, and he... Well, just got it. "What's wrong, Sebastian?" Sebastian got up and dusted himself off, gasping for air. "Seebaaaastiaaan? Earth to Sebastian. Are you living?" "Shut up! I just.... I'm not ready for that, okay?! When I meant special, I didn't mean THAT!" "......." Sebastian sat down on the bed and put his face in his hands. "You never used to yell at me, Sebastian. Maybe you're finally growing up. Getting past me, eh?" Sebastian pulled his hands away and got up, grabbing her wrists. "I -- I'm sorry... I just...." He hugged her tightly at this. "... I'm stressed." "You're not the only one...". Lucifer hugs Sebastian back. Sebastian hugged her tighter. ".... I'm so sorry..." "I don't want an apology, Sebastian. I shouldn't have pushed you" Sebastian looked at her face, blushing as he did. "... I do have one thing to admit though." "What is it?" Sebastian kissed her lips at this. "Mmmmm...." Sebastian pulled his face away slowly from hers. "... I -did- have a massive crush on you when we were little." Lucifer laughed. "Oh, I knew~" Sebastian sighed. "Figures..." Lucifer pulled Sebastian close, and grinned. "I still love ya, Seb~". Sebastian blushed at this. ".... I -- I can tell..." He stammered. ".... What does this mean then? A-are we together now or something because we kissed?" Lucifer smirked at Sebastian. "Iunno, do you want to be together?". Sebastian rubbed the back of his head. "... M-maybe."

Lucifer look at Sebastian. Then she had a fit of some sorts and fell to the floor. Sebastian blinked and got on his knees. "A-are you okay?" Lucifer rocketed up and locked her lips with Sebastian's, pulling him down to the ground with her. "So Sebastian, anything you wanna ask me?". Sebastian blushed at this. "... Y-yeah.... Um.... W-will you train me tonight?" Lucifer thought for a moment, then spoke. "Sure thing, Seb~". Sebastian smiled. "Here's your payment~" He said as he brought his lips down on hers, closing his eyes. Lucifer grinned, and pushed him away after a few moments. "Horrible, horrible payment, Sebby-poo~". She let out a chuckled and hugged him tight. Sebastian smiled and rested his forehead on hers, hugging her back just as tight. "... Thank you.... Lucy." Lucifer grinned, and spoke. "Just like old times, eh?". Sebastian smiled. "But a little better~" He kissed her again quickly. ".... I also have to tell you... About Rob." "What about Rob?". "On the night I left the orphanage.... We had an argument." "About what?". ".... About him.... And me." "About your Friendship?" ".... Something like that. Let me explain. You see...."


~ War on Europe... ~

On a television screen all over Europe was of the WDL... On it a man in a suit speaking out loud to everyone watching. "... My people, it is my honor to present the top of the elite, please... Give it up for a Paladin, representing for Angel's absence... The leader of the Paladin's himself!!!" With this, the man moved and a paladin stepped on screen. Angel looked up from his screen after hearing his name, and his eyes widened. "Him!?" The leading Paladin came on and waved to the people. He answered a few questions - mainly about the concerns of the demon outbreak, the Renegades and a few minor questions. He explained about how Angel came into power - how it was Arthur's time to retire, how the demon outbreak was a test, but then....

The screen went blank. And all of Europe was silent for a few moments...

Angel, who was busy being very amused by how the man was glorifying him, blinked in shock as the screen went black. "What the? How- What!? Did somebody move the antenna!?" "Greetings, humanity." At this, a red cross with a single eye in it's center appeared with a white background to it. The Revolution of Hell had taken over. "I am Balarus of Kallos. And I have taken over your primitive television's in order to speak out to you all... I hope you are listening, Angel."

Angel nodded weakly, then shook his head. "GET ME THE PHOENIX!" "Your so called protectors, the WDL, are liars. Arthur was murdered in cold blood, I really did break out of that damn prison with a few others and, well... I will personally kill Angel in front of the whole world." Deon smirked. "I'll help!" And then Angel slapped him. "I have gathered an army of demons and they are marching. Marching around my base, preparing for a war. In two days, I will destroy the WDL with them. My elite group is preparing themselves, and they will attack your primitive towns tomorrow. I know what this means. And yes..."

"Hell has just declared war."

Deon whistles, grinning lightly. "Hey Angel, I bet you're TOTALLY not gonna make me your bodyguard, are ya?". Angel smirked. "Nope, I'm locking you back in the Dungeons". "Prick" The screen turned to show something horrifying then... "Help me, Angel... Please..." A Paladin spoke out, bloody and injured as he was tied to a cross, his arm weakly reaching out to the camera just a few feet in front of him. Angel scoffed. "If you're in that situation you deserve to die!". Deon slapped him. The Paladin's arm was suddenly slammed against the cross as he screamed out in pain as a spike slowly came out of his chest, his blood dripping all over the cross as he gagged and choked. Then a figure came out and smashed his head against the cross and it broke in half - a personal insult to anyone religious. Deon snickered, and Angel just watched. The figure then turned and glared at the screen. He pulled his hood down to reveal his face - Kallos had done it. "Let this be a warning." He said and grabbed the flag of the country - throwing it on the cross as he nodded to Eppenos, who stepped on the screen and burned all three things - the man's body, the cross and the flag.

Deon let out a laugh and Angel made a face that said what the fuck? "Europe will fall. And Hell will rise... If you want to have ANY funny moments... Take a good look at this." Kallos grabbed the camera and moved it to show Angel's relatives bodies, all hanging on crosses. Angel glared. "They're useless to me anyway" Eppenos burned them just like the rest, and then showed something worst of all... A figure with a bag over the head, struggling to break free of the ropes binding the person to the chair. "I won't tell you who this is, but trust me when I say... All hell will break loose when she dies. Now.... One more thing." He said as he drew his sword and thrusted it through the camera. The screen then turned back to the Paladin, who had seen all of that.... Stunned, shocked, confused... He couldn't even blink. He had to be dragged away. Then the screens turned to something else... But everyone's reaction was the same. Completely. Stunned.

Deon watched as everything went on, the Madness threatening to burst out of him again as it went on and on. Angel on the other hand simply watched, grinding his teeth in anger. The Puppeteer sat at her throne, observing the acts of hate and rage. But not from a Television as a normal person would, oh no. She was watching them personally, the smell of burning flesh wafting throughout her throne room as the scenes ended and she closed the tear. She turned to Luna and Ronove, who were watching on a Television, and smirked. "How.... interesting~" Michael stopped as he turned to a screen near by to see the news being broadcasted. "..... What.... Just happened?" Rin turned to the screen, but not before getting a glimpse of Aurora, her eyes going wide. Aurora simply smiled and waved politely, before looking to the screen too. When all was said and done, Rin was covering her mouth with her hand and coughing. Aurora simply sighed and spoke. "Such a fool, Balarus". Rin coughed again and spoke to Michael. "They couldn't just kill Angel could they!?" "... Balarus is cunning. He knows Angel will have no choice but to accept his challenge. Also... Did you see who was the one burning the bodies?" Aurora spoke. "Indeed". Rin simply nodded, sitting down. "Who was it then, Aurora?"

"They call him... Eppenos, of Flames. He is... the son of Brenhin if I recall.... He burned my old Garden to Ashes for not giving him what he wanted. I will pay him back for that" ".... Right, that's what I feared. Back to Balarus though... Angel will be panicking inside right now. Arthur would of calmly thought of how to find and trap Balarus while still humiliating him on television. Angel? ..... If he doesn't accept, the entire world will see him as a coward and unfit to rule." "They will see the man for what he truly is, then." ".... Angel has only one solution... Accept the challenge and destroy his enemy. Even at the cost of his own army." Aurora smiled. "Balarus certainly has grown up. He's planned this well, but what shall the Renegades be expected to do, I wonder?~" ".... I have no choice now... I will send the two teams of children out to find Balarus and destroy him before this whole mess starts." "Oh? I thought you would bargain for Deon. Although I'm assured he already has a plan~". Aurora smirked and twirled her now closed parasol. ".... Deon would of hated himself for that. Rin, prepare plans for tomorrow morning. WDL reports say that Bellfoar, Chill and the Jello Demon have been sighted in a nearby town. Tomorrow is our only chance..." With that, Michael walked away.

Rin nodded at Michael and then turned to Aurora. "Why are you here, anyway?". Aurora smirked. "Oh, just a favor to an incarcerated friend~ S looked at a screen nearby to see the report. ".... Huh.... People are too serious these days." S looked up at Asmodeus. "What do you think?" Asmodeus sighed. "Well damn.... That ruined my mood....". She looked at it again and spoke. "Well, to be honest Angel's a dick. Only problem is that Deon's at the WDL too. What if they take him when they're done?". S snickered. "Dick." Asmodeus giggled. "In your mouth~" S snickered. "... I'm still going to win~" "Oh, no you're not!" "Oh baby, I can~" Asmodeus grabs S and pushes her into the nearby wall, her lips slamming against hers.

~ A response to war... ~

Raphael opened the door to Angel's office, only to gasp as he saw Angel standing, awake, looking out the window. He quickly closed the door, to see only one candle was lit on his desk. "Sir, what are you doing up so late? You should be sleeping! Not up and tiring yourself out!" Angel turned to the angel and sighed. "The Phoenix still hasn't admitted to anything regarding Kallos' plan, but he seems to know something I must find out. I haven't been able to sleep because of it. He treats my interrogation like a game and never gives in. It's... It's unnerving how he is". Angel rubbed his forehead. "In a few days, Kallos will be here to kill me and no doubt he will destroy a large portion of this Academy while doing it..." Raphael nodded. "Ah yes, I do recall hearing about this sire. I am terribly sorry to hear about your relatives dying." Angel growled. "I don't care about them! If I die who will lead the WDL!? Nobody will, nobody deserving of leading it, in any case! This is my rightful place, I got here fair and square and I will not let any idiotic Demon take that from me!". Angel turned and grasped the phone on his desk, picking it up and dialing. "Yes, Daniel. Ready Project Beta. Good. It needs to be in perfect condition" Raphael nodded at this. "I shall not question this Project Beta, but... If I may make one tiny, tiny suggestion, m'lord?" Angel looked towards Raphael and nodded.

"Tonight, lead everyone in the surrounding towns into the WDL. When they go to attack tomorrow - poof. They will find no one, and you will be looked up to as a savior for planning ahead such brilliance!" Angel was silent for the moment before nodding. "Raphael, I shall send out the orders as soon as I can. Ready the men for battle though. If Kallos does in fact attack this academy, then we must be ready for him". Angel motioned for Raphael to leave, but spoke again. "Raphael... Ready the Phoenix." Raphael smirked as he nodded. "Of course sire - if I may ask... How do you plan on getting the Phoenix to obey you?" Angel smirked. "Oh, I'll have my ways" Raphael nodded and bowed. "Of course." He said before leaving the room. Once the door closed he looked around before smirking and walked off whistling.

"The game is set, m'lord... The attack will take out both parties present."

"And The Renegades?"

"No doubt they will intervene when you want them to sire."

"Excellent work, my little half angel spy... Make sure everything goes according to plan... If Kallos shall fall taking Angel's life, so be it."

"Of course... Revolutionary Leader of Hell."

~ Sebastian's training Part II! ~

Sebastian looked around as he rose a brow. "What now?" He said, looking behind him to see the television screen as he turned his body around. ".... What.... The...?" Lucifer turned to the television too. "Wha...?" Sebastian looked at her. ".... I think this means we're running out of time, doesn't it?" "...Yep" Sebastian gritted his teeth. "Then come on... You have to make me transform somehow! .... How would Deon say how one learned to control they're demon form?" "Erm, well... They'd have to transform into it and.... Ugh, I don't know! He doesn't have on himself yet, he's just that powerful... Maybe ask Rin?" "How do I contact other people from a distance in this place?!" "Wait, I know!" Lucifer stood up and smirked. "Basically you have to go into your demon form and then keep your consciousness! You have to realize that you're in your Demon Form, AND then you need to try and grasp what you're doing." ".... How do I go into it first?" "Well, you go into it when you're angry, so I suggest make yourself angry then think of things to calm you down?" Sebastian sighed. "Hit me then! As hard as you can!" "You really want me to?...I might hurt you..." "Chill stabbed me last time... That was how he made me do it. It was the realization that I was going to die with regrets... I have to feel that again!" "F-Fine...." Lucifer grabs Sebastian, pinning him to the floor and squeezing her hands around his neck until he can't breathe.

Sebastian choked and tried to move until he fell limb for a split second... Then, like a bad omen... Lucifer was blasted away by a great force as Sebastian rose up on to his feet. His ears became pointy, his bat-like wings returned, an aura of fire now surrounded him, his eyes had gone demon-like and were now red, and his teeth were fangs. He let out a roar at her. Lucifer walk over to Sebastian and slapped him before pulling him close to her. Sebastian rose a hand to smack her, but... Was stopped as something started to overcome him. He struggled as he let out a violent roar, pushing her away as his aura of fire started to grow too intense to handle. Lucifer fell to the floor, rubbing her arm because it was burned. "Ouch. Sebastian?" Sebastian's flames soon turned to a darkish blue, his body undergoing another change as his power was increasing dramatically... The entire room was starting to shake as Sebastian got down on all fours, his form continuing to change rapidly. Lucifer stood against the shaking of the room. She looked over to Sebastian, and spoke. "If Deon was here...." Sebastian's blue aura suddenly went away in an instant - a loud boom going around as he slowly stood up... Now back in his demon form as he smiled at her weakly. ".... H-hey." Lucifer looked at Sebastian, stunned. Then she grinned. "You DID IT!". She leaped at Sebastian and wrapped her arms around him in joy. "YES!"

"Ow, ow, ow, owwww......" He mumbled. He patted her on the back as he smiled weakly still. "Did I miss the party?" "What party?" "Never mind..." Sebastian returned to normal as he panted. "... Do you feel.... Weird?" "No.... Why?" He looked at his hands. ".... I feel..... Different.... Like I'm suddenly lighter.... Stronger.... Like I have more.... Control now." "That's because you did what you needed to. You gained control of your Demon form now!" Sebastian crouched down for a moment. Then he jumped up into the air by seven feet, spinning around in ten flips as he did before landing down on his feet. Lucifer grinned. "You're catching up to Deon, Seb~" Sebastian grinned and got a serious look on his face as he got into stance. Then he vanished and she could see him, racing around the room at super speed. He continued this as he raced around fifteen laps in just a few minutes before stopping before her. "I told you..." He said as he caught his breath. "Faster... Lighter.... Stronger..." He put his hand out as two objects were caught under his control and suddenly were pulled to him and began to spin around him. "More in control!" He then quickly sent them back to where they were as he grinned. "I never could do that before..." Lucifer smirked. "Oh man, you just took a level in Badassery!"

Sebastian then entered into his demon form - this time his wings just appeared, his eyes not turning red as they shifted into a demonic look. His fangs appeared to be shorter then they originally were, and his ears were less pointy. He then looked at her. "Punch me!" Lucifer smirked and whacked Sebastian across the face. Her fist stopped as it hit his face, his skin now looking harder and rougher for a brief moment before he smacked her arm away. "Come on - keep 'em coming!" Lucifer grinned, repeatedly slamming her fist into numerous parts of Sebastian's body with gusto. Every time her fists were stopped by Sebastian's hardened skin - this time he kept it up instead of putting it away until she was done punching him. Only then did he take it away. And with a wink, he blended in with his surroundings. Lucifer looked around in shock. "W-Whoa, you can do this now!?" He reappeared behind her as he smirked. "Invisibility... I was told once by a certain demon that I had the power over fire, invisibility and to make my skin harder like a shield's... But he said I couldn't obtain them..." He stopped to make three fireballs appear in front of him as he put his hands in his pockets and used his improved telekinesis in his demon form let them spin around his body at a fast rate. "... Until I learned control." Lucifer grinned. "Nice tricks you have there, Sebastian."

Sebastian pulled his hands out of his pockets as he slammed his hands above his head together - letting the fireballs vanish and his form return to normal. ".... Twice... That's my limit, huh? I guess I'm ready for tomorrow... I'll need my gloves to be enhanced though." "Oooh, snazzy outfit you'll be having~". Suddenly, a knock came at the door to the room, and Lucifer went and opened it. Standing there was Aurora, a smirk on her face. "Invitations have arrived~" With that, the Flower Youkai handed Lucifer two envelopes, and strode off down the Hall. "What the?" Sebastian blinked as he jumped over, landing by her as he looked at them. ".... When does it say we need to be there by?" Lucifer handed Sebastian one letter. "It's been personalized. Someone knows things about us." Sebastian took it and opened it, looking at it as he blinked. ".... Son of a bitch!" He said as he put it back in and slammed it on a table, the table almost breaking. Lucifer was eyeing her letter, when her face fell. "How did they....?"

Sebastian walked over to a screen at this and began to touch it until he brought out the WDL's wanted list. "... HA! Number 19 - idiots. I should be 17 now~" "Don't get too cocky Sebastian. Your letter had something on it that only you should know too, right?" ".... Uh, yeah, something like that." He was trying to get his mind off it as he looked over the WDL list. Lucifer turned to Sebastian. "Watchya looking for, Mr 'I'm so tough I can take on anything now'?". Lucifer smirked. Sebastian indicated for her to come closer. Lucifer walked over to Sebastian. "Hm?" Sebastian put an arm around her shoulders and held her close as he pointed to a profile on the screen. "This guy.... Let's take him on and bring him back!" "Blaze, eh? She's a woman, you know...." "...... WHAT?"

~ Sebastian and Lucifer V.S. Blaze??? ~

Sebastian walked to the town next to Lucifer as he looked over at her. He smiled as he looked forward - he was now in his modified gear, which didn't look all that different from when he fought Drayne. "Soo, how will we know she's --" He stopped as he saw a red glow appear from the town. ".... Never mind." Lucifer smirked. "Let's dance with her, shall we?" Sebastian smirked. "Let's~" He walked into the town with her. As the two found the girl standing there, her hands lit on fire, she spoke. "Sebastian and Lucifer, correct? Let's get this over with, shall we? I've always had this BURNING desire to meet you~" Sebastian rose a brow. "Are you a mind reader?" He asked calmly. Blaze grinned. "Nope, my Mistress just knows you very well~ She knows more than anybody else does, Seb~" "Wait..." Sebastian narrowed his eyes. ".... Do you know Lunatic Red Eyes?" Blaze grinned. "Maybe, maybe not. I might tell you if you beat me~". Blaze grinned, throwing a wall of fire in the direction of Sebastian and Lucifer. It was only a few seconds later that.... "We're surrounded by a ring of fire. There's no escape". "..... Hm. Interesting. Tell me, what rank are you?" "Heh, I'm always holding back, ya know... In reality, I'm beyond those... 'Ranks'.". ".... I meat like E, D, C, or whatever the heck you are." "I told you, I'm above them. Although most people seem to think I'm an..... A".

"So, a Demon Queen, huh?" He looked over at Lucifer and held out his right arm. ".... Weapon form, please." Lucifer smirked, turning into a small spear of light that quickly grew solid, falling into Sebastian's hand and fitting there perfectly. "Let's do this, Seb!" Sebastian smirked and held out the spear in front of him, making it face horizontally. ".... Tell me, miss Queen of Fire.... Do you know of what I can do with this weapon?" Blaze simply grinned and looked at Sebastian. "Of course I do. She used to belong to my friend, after all." Sebastian grew a serious look on his face. "... That wasn't what I was referring to..." He said as the winds began to pick up with a strange eerie feeling to them as the fires around them changed to a shade of purple, growing up and becoming wild as Sebastian's power began to rise. Blaze smirked. "You're not very bright, are you?.... Have you forgotten all about the Phoenix already?". "... I know Deon.... But what about him?" He asked. Lucifer spoke again. "Wait... You know Deon!?". Blaze grinned. "Oh yes. I do. We're both of Fire so it's only natural. But... He also told me that you would win. I'm betting I can prove him wrong!". Blaze suddenly lashed out, flames encircling the entire area and sending unbearable heat all around them.

Sebastian closed his eyes. ".... You are a fool.... Because I learned.... How to control my power!" As he shouted this out, all the flames that were made by Blaze vanished as an aura of fire briefly appeared around Sebastian as his appearance began to change. Blaze smirked. "Sebastian. I am aware" Suddenly Blaze's Demon form vanished, leaving a human girl standing in her place. "Call me.... Mokou" Sebastian's aura of fire vanished as now he was in his demon form - his bat-like wings spreading out, his ears and teeth changing, the spear in his hand now having red hair around the neck of it to where the blade connected with the rest of the spear as it looked exactly like that of a flame's. The blade also would feel hotter as he furrowed his brows. ".... Mokou? Lucifer, I need info here." Lucifer stayed silent until... "N-No way.... You... You're!-" She was cut off as something burst from the ground, a condensed blade of flame shooting right at Sebastian. "Ha! You let your guard down, scrap metal!" Lucifer growled. "Shut up! What's happened to you!?" Blaze just grinned. "I'm just having a little fun, is all~" Sebastian furrowed his brows as he vanished from sight, letting the sword of flames pass by as he reappeared by Blaze's side. "Now that wasn't fun."

Blaze spun around, sending a boot straight into Sebastian's face before leaping backwards and flipping into the air. Sebastian rose up Lucifer as he blocked the kick with it, but was sent sliding back as he stopped himself and look up at Blaze. He concentrated as when she would land, a car would be sent flying down at her. Blaze landed, looking up just in time to see a car heading her way. She didn't have time to duck so she threw herself onto her back and stayed there until the car passed, rolling backwards when it was clear. Sebastian furrowed his brows as he pushed the damaged car forward at her. "Really, is this it?" Blaze leaped over the car an towards Sebastian, and as soon as she was close her arm turned into a blade and slashed him across the chest. "Ha!" Sebastian felt his clothes being ripped through easily as he stayed there for a few seconds... Before smirking. If she looked closely at the cut hole, she would see no cut was made - only a mark against his hardened body. His skin returned to normal as he used super speed to enhance his speed as he thrusted Lucifer at her left shoulder. Blaze barely had time to dodge, and Lucifer caught her in the shoulder lightly. "Heh, not bad kiddo, Deon was right about you!" Blaze flipped backwards before landing and changing her right arm fully into a blade. "So, any questions you need me to answer?" Before Sebastian could speak, Lucifer did.

"How did you get your Human Form back, Mokou?" "I'm curious how you know Deon and know Lucifer..." He furrowed his brows as he tried to remember... Mokou grinned, before using Sebastian's distraction to tackle him to the floor. "You want to know, do you? Why is that? Do you even care? Right now Deon's rotting away in a Dungeon being forced into god knows what because he cares for you and the other Children!" "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At this, a ball of fire was sent colliding into Blaze's chest. Blaze was sent flying back, flipping in the air a few times before landing on her feet and watching the wound heal. "You know what Deon IS ,right?" Sebastian got up to his feet quickly as he watched the wound heal easily. "....A phoenix of sorts. Are you the same or are you just some kind of advanced fire demon that I'm not aware of?" "Maybe you'll find out later, hmm? Like I said, if you beat me I'll answer your questions" Blaze grinned and waggled her finger, indicating for Sebastian to attack her. Sebastian instead took this time to slowly get into a stance. ".... Mind telling me some things here Lucifer?" "Oh yes Lucifer, please do~" Lucifer spoke to Sebastian. "Waddaya want to know?" [color=#8000BF]"Who the hell is Mokou?" "......... He wouldn't want me to tell you" "..... Is that how it is?" "Wha?" Sebastian slowly aimed Lucifer at Blazye, a fire for battle appearing in his eyes.

"Your father was a great man Sebastian... But you are not nearly as powerful as him. In order to do this, you will have to learn to control your form later on, and when you do... You must bring out that which is your father's blood in you. For you see, your family has always yearned for battle. But they can not do this without one thing... The willpower to fight. If you can not achieve that which your father has passed down on to you.... You will die." Blaze looked at Sebastian oddly. "What?" Sebastian remained still, and Lucifer could feel something coursing through her suddenly.... Sebastian's strength. "Are you willing to trust me?" "Sebastian. I've been willing for a long, long time" "..... Then lend me your strength, as I am doing the same with you." Lucifer laughed. "Let's do this then. Let's show this chick what we're made of!" Suddenly, riveting power coursed through Sebastian. "Sebastian, we can beat her" Sebastian got a serious face and used his super speed to dissapear. A few seconds later, five Sebastian's would be seen running around Blaze. Blaze simply grinned, sending out a wall of fire that encompassed the entire area they were in. All five Sebastian's vanished at this as the real one appeared above Blaze, pointing Lucifer down at her as he sent down a ball of fire on her. Blaze flipped out of the way just in time to miss the fireball, sending her own straight at Sebastian and turning her arm into a blade again.

"I... I can't let him down. Even if...." Sebastian thrusted down Lucifer at this, thrusting the tip of her blade into the ball to stop it as he struggled at this. He gritted his teeth as he let out a battle cry, blasting out fire out of Blaze's as he landed down on his feet and charged forward at her. Blaze look up and shouted, throwing herself forward and shifting into her blade form, aiming straight at Sebastian.... Sebastian stopped for a brief moment as he spun around Lucifer and waited, holding her in a stance as he watched the blade coming down at him. ".... Wait for it...." Blaze shot forward at blinding speeds, aiming right for Sebastian's heart. She'd burn straight through him if she had to! "Yaaaaaa!"
"..... Wait for it..........Now." He said as he used Telekinesis to briefly halt Blaze in place, sending enough force into her to stop her long enough for him to move Lucifer and then use her to smack away Blaze. Before Sebastian could do anything however, a hand reached out and grabbed Blaze, and a figure shortly followed, flipping straight over Sebastian with Blaze in hand and slashing him down his back before landing far away, crouching. "You've wasted enough time here, Blaze"

~ Clue to Omega's Identity I! Three users of fire meet! ~

Sebastian fell down on to a knee as he gritted his teeth. "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shiiiiiitttt. I wish I could regenerate now." Sebastian forced himself to stand as he turned around to look at the figure. ".... And you are?" The figure stood up, the mask covering it's face shifting into it's usual shape, the pure black robes covering the rest of them blowing slightly in the wind. "Who am I, you ask? Have you heard of.... Omega?" "While training, we saw what you did in Tokyo... You're pretty fast, I'll give you that." "What a sight..." A figure said as he stepped down on the broken car Sebastian had used earlier, spinning around a sword in his hand as he looked at the four of them. "... I get to meet the strange Omega and I get to capture the target." With that said, Eppenos of Flames pointed Baphomet in they're direction. "Tell me. Who's flame is the strongest among us?" Using his free hand, Eppenos created a small red ball as he fired it at Sebastian. Sebastian's eyes widened as he quickly move to the side of it, thinking he had avoided it. But then, he felt incredible heat build up behind him, and looking back...

.... He watched as an entire building blew up in flames. The top half of it being completely turned into ashes while the bottom half's pieces were sent flying in directions. "Lucifer.... I need info. Who the heck -- no.... What the heck IS this guy?!?!" "Which one?" "THE ONE WHO JUST SHOT THAT AT US?!?!?!" "Oh do go on and tell him." Eppenos spoke and walked forward, the car behind him bursting out in flames as Eppenos neared them. ".... I've been dying to meet you, Sebastian Thomas." Omega simply stood still, observing the scene. Lucifer spoke. "Eppenos of Flames...Shit. He's Brenhin's kid I think" "Brenhin?! I'm not meeting that asshole again!" "Ahh, so you did meet my father in hell..." Eppenos spoke and drew out another sword. "I believe you will know this by it's name... The Wandering Blade." "Aaah, finally. I can smell Phoenix blood already!" "Wandering Blade... Is the boy strong enough to be your new host?" "NEW HOST?" "Hmmm, he is... manageable..." "Very well.... You can have him then." With that, Eppenos threw The Wandering Blade at Sebastian at blinding speeds. Sebastian could only watch in horror as it was getting closer then he could avoid or block...

Suddenly, Omega grasped the Wandering Blade before it could hit Sebastian. "Eppenos of Flames. You must not interfere with us" The Wandering Blade's black tendril lashed out at Omega, but they found no safe place to grasp. "Wandering Blade. You are now mine" Omega then pushed the Wandering Blade to Sebastian's neck and pointed Blaze at Eppenos. "Leave. Now." Eppenos chuckled at this. "Incorrect, Mr. Omega." Snapping his fingers, Omega felt fire explode in his hand as The Wandering Blade was now flying through the air while being on fire! It quickly landed back in Eppenos' hand as the flames quickly faded - not a single burn mark could be seen on it. "I have my orders... You will not intervene, Mr. Omega. Unless you want to take our fight elsewhere?" Omega simply remained still. "My Mistress does not like interruptions, Eppenos. You are currently interrupting." Eppenos stabbed The Wandering Blade into the ground. "Very well... Let us go elsewhere, but.... I will leave the boy with something. If you shall win against it, you may take it back to your silly little base. But if it wins, well... You know the outcome." And with that, Eppenos vanished and reappeared in front of Omega, a fiery portal tearing opening in front of him as Eppenos forced his knee into his back and roughly sent him into the portal, following by Eppenos being sucked into the portal into hell as it vanished.

After this, fire appeared all over The Wandering Blade as a skeleton rose up out of the ground. It let out a dangerous howl as fire covered it's form, the skeleton taking grip of The Wandering Blade as multiple black tendrils covered the skeleton until it formed into thick black skin like hardened lava. It's eyes then glowed - The Wandering Blade then took control. "..... Shit, what just happened?" "What just happened?... Heheheeheh... HAHAHAHAHAHA! Your death has just begun!" "Lucifer, he's about to come at us! WHAT DO I DO?!" Before the Wandering Blade could react, a portal the same as the one Luna appeared from appeared, and a blade cleaved the skeleton in two. "How amusing." "Shush, Blaze" "Make me!" "....." "S-Sorry...." Sebastian blinked as he saw The Wandering Blade fall to the ground, he swore he heard it cursing like a mad woman. Out of the portal stepped Omega, followed by Blaze before the portal closed behind them. "I mean come on, did he actually think he could touch you? What an idiot!" Sebastian walked over to them as he blinked. "... Um.... Thank you, I guess? I don't know how to feel right now because my back is bleeding." Sebastian looked down and lightly kicked The Wandering Blade, who cursed at him with many repeated curse words being thrown in the mix. ".... Do I really have to take this thing back with me?"

".... Wait, that guy -- Eppenos or whatever.... What happened to him? Is he coming back?!" Omega looked at Sebastian, and shook his head. "That is up to him, not us." Sebastian sighed and looked down at the Wandering Blade, then back up at them. "... Can I borrow some sort of magic sheath or something to carry that thing with? I don't trust it that much." Blaze smirked. "We still have a fight to finish, don't we?" She suddenly shifted to her blade form and Omega grabbed her, pointing her at Sebastian. "I thought you guys were leaving!!" Omega vanished momentarily, slamming Blaze onto Lucifer. "Come on kid! Make your older brother proud!", shouted Blaze. "OLDER BROTHER?!" He shouted as he was sent flying back, stopping himself at the last moment. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!" He vanished and sneakily took The Wandering Blade, who's black tendrils threatened to engulf him. "Screw off." Was his only response as he charged at Omega with both Lucifer and The Wandering Blade, using both of them to send multiple slashes at Omega. Omega simply let the slashes hit him, and Blaze laughed. "Is that it!?" Sebastian went into super speed mode and doubled the amount of slashes he sent. Omega simply stood, waiting for Sebastian to stop. "Pathetic..."

~ Omega's Relentless Pursuit! ~

Sebastian pointed the sword at his chest and Lucifer at his head as he blasted out two fire balls into him, aiming to tear off some of his body parts as he did this. The fireballs shot towards Omega, but just before they hit they... went straight through him. "Is this all you have, Child?" Sebastian panted as he exited out of his demon form and fell on his knees, putting Lucifer beside him as he forced her to transform back. "... Stay here." He mumbled as he slowly got up. "Yo kid, just stay down man! Hahahahaha!" "SHUT UP!" He shouted as he stabbed the Wandering Blade into his chest, and backed away a few steps as he watched the black tendrils come out. He had no idea whether his plan was going to work or not - but maybe this could distract him for a bit... Possibly. Omega simply grabbed the blade and pulled it out of him. "It went straight through me. Because I wanted it to." Omega then threw the blade at the ground with enough force to send it into it up to the hilt. "Whoa..." He said and ran over, grabbing the hilt as he watched the black tendrils break off and land elsewhere... He slowly pulled it out as he looked it, feeling it shake as he gritted his teeth. Then he put an arm around Lucifer as he vanished with her, reappearing a few feet behind Omega as he used the Wandering Blade to cut through a tree near by, letting it fall in the path that was in front of them as he ran off with Lucifer and The Wandering Blade in hand...

"Omega.... Wait.... I saw Omega.... Isn't he in Deon's spot now?" Lucifer sighed, "Yeah, and his companion...." Sebastian stopped by a tree as he sat near it, panting as he looked at the trail of blood he left behind. "... Fucking hell." He said as he kept a firm grip on the weakened Wandering Blade. "Eppenos is 9... And this thing, this Wandering Blade... Is 32.... Call Rin now, tell her to -- uggghhh.... Send someone to bring us to her! NOW!" Suddenly, the tree blocking the path was thrown into the air and slammed into a building nearby. Omega stood there, Blaze beside him and grinning. "Sebastian Thomas. We are not finished yet." Suddenly, Omega was grabbing Lucifer from him and hoisting her above them with one of his tendrils. "She will die if you...." "If I try to run? I know... I'm not moving." He said as he stood up, getting into a stance with the Wandering Blade. ".... Come." He said. Suddenly, Omega grabbed his mask, and sunk down to one knee. "W-What the..... U-Uuugh.... N-No...." Blaze turned to him. "Omega, what's wrong!?"

Sebastian used his super speed at this and spinning around, he sliced through the tendril as he caught Lucifer using his free arm and backed away a little with her, keeping the Wandering Blade pointed at Omega. Suddenly, another tendril shot out at Sebastian, followed by another and then another, until there were at east twenty tendrils around them. Blaze had kneeled down next to Omega and was shaking him. "Hey, Hey! Keep calm, Omega! if you fail she'll kill us all!" Sebastian kept slicing at them, but they kept growing and growing. He gritted his teeth as more then fifty shot out at him as he prepared for it, until...

... All of them were suddenly sliced, the parts cut off burning away into nothing as a figure landed in front of Sebastain, a bright light covering him as he held a shield in his right hand, a sword in his left and he wore battle armor made for Angels. His wings spread out as feathers came flying down over the scene. "Omega, right?" The half angel asked him. Blaze looked up in shock, and glared. "Michael, right?" Omega stood, thanking Blaze and staring at Michael. "You are...... Michael A Malachim..." Suddenly, from around the corner strode Aurora. "Oh, so it's you two, is it? Ahh, how funny that I would end up observing a fight between you two~" "I am Michael A. Malachim... And as guardian over these two, I advise you to leave. Or..." He shifted his right foot back as his sword changed into a spear, and he pointed it at the two. "... I will be forced to fight you and Blaze. To the death." Omega spoke. "You are a fool then." Blaze scoffed. "Yeah, yeah. 'To the Death' sounds fun and all, but you look boring." Michael furrowed his brows. "Lucifer... Cover the boy and yourself. Now!" Lucifer nodded, grabbing Sebastian and pulling him behind the tree, but Aurora stood in front of them, opening her Parasol. "Nothing will get past this". Omega and Blaze simply stood there. Michael stabbed his spear into the ground as he remained where he was, looking up as he nodded before looking back at them.

".... Heaven's Guidance."

And out of no where, a giant ray of light came out of the clouds, slamming down on the three as a bright light covered over them, sending gusts of wind crashing everywhere around them. Aurora smirked, shielding both Sebastian and Lucifer along with herself with her Parasol. The ray of light vanished, and Michael grabbed hold of the spear and pulled it out of the ground, the spot he had stabbed healed quickly as he looked over at the town - seeing the tree that had been cut down earlier having been restored. He then looked over to where Omega and Blaze had been standing. Omega simply stood there, staring down at Blaze who was pulling herself to her feet. After she had accomplished that, she coughed up some blood and glared. "For an angel, you sure are an ass!" Omega grasped Blaze's arm, and her body began to glow. "T-Thanks, Omega." "You are lucky you survived... I did not use the true form of Heaven's Guidance. I advise you to leave... Now." Omega simply looked at Michael. "Blaze, leave. I do not want you dead." Blaze looked at Omega. "B-But what about you!? Don't take him on alone! We did what we needed to do, now we ca-" Omega pushed her roughly, and she fell into a tear in reality which quickly shut. Omega looked up at Michael. "You are very aware of whom you are facing, correct?" "Are you?"

At this, a light portal that lead to the Renegade Base opened up behind Sebastian, Lucifer and Aurora. "Rin, Aurora... Get those three out of here. NOW!" Aurora nodded, looking at Omega once before pulling Sebastian to the portal. Rin came out and grabbed Lucifer, hurrying her along into the portal as well. The portal then was sealed shut, as Michael felt a breeze pass over the two.
".... May I have this dance?" Omega simply stood there, a blade of indescribable material forming in his hand. "Michael A Malachim. You are proving to be an annoyance. My Mistress does not like annoyances. You may make the first move, if you dare." "Mistress this, Mistress that... I think I'm more worried about you not keeping up to you're new reputation!" With that, Michael charged! "And you are turning out to be less than what I expected, fool!" With that, Omega lunged towards Michael, his sword drawn.

~ A moment of peace? ~

Meanwhile... Sebastian felt something being applied to his back as he flinched. "Ahhhh.... That hurts..." He mumbled. "He will be fine as long as he lays here... I advise someone keep watch over him until then." The doctor said as he rose up before walking out of the room. A Renegade soldier brought the Wandering Blade over to a device brought in that had been made by Scott for Demon Swords. He thrusted it in as he watched it slowly come under the effects of the freezing machine. "That Scott, I tell ya miss Rin... I don't know where we'd be without him around." Rin sighed and spoke. "Yeah, he's been a MASSIVE help to us. We'd be pretty screwed without him haha!" Rin looked around, seeing Lucifer in the distance. "I'll be right back." "Sure thing miss Rin." The Renegade soldier responded. Rin proceeded over to Lucifer. "How's Sebastian doing?" Lucifer looked up. "He's doing fine... Listen, I need to tell you something..." With that. Lucifer leaned in close to Rin and whispered in her ear, causing the Kasha to recoil in shock. "W-What!?" Lucifer nodded. "Don't tell anyone though. It could be the death of us if you do."

"Miss Rin, Lucifer..." The soldier spoke out. ".... We have an issue or two." Rin and Lucifer turned around, looking at the Soldier. "Yes?" "Yeah?" "Well, it's just... The boy deserves a prize of some sort for bringing in that weapon, but uh... Only a leader or co-leader can make that official, so um..." Rin nodded. "Let's go, shall we?" ".... Sure... Lucifer, the boy wishes to ask you something." With that, the Renegade soldier walked away with Rin. Rin walked off with the soldier and Lucifer nodded, walking to the place where Sebastian was. "Sebastian?" Sebastian struggled to find the words. ".... I'm pretty wrathful, right?" Lucifer spoke. "Yeah... Why?"
".... Let me make a pact with her.... If it'll help keep her alive." "Match up with who? Satan?" "Who else?" "Oh... I guess that would make sense... Heh..." "I'll gather all of the sins later on and we can all do our pacts then. I'll have Rin lead you through it as well." "Thanks..." He smiled at her weakly.

"So uh miss Rin... What is he going to get for this then?" The soldier asked her. Rin sighed. "I have no idea... Usually Deon or Michael handed out the awards but...." She sighed and rubbed her forehead. "What do you think he should get?" "I don't know! Perhaps... Maybe summon one of the Sins? They would probably know what Deon would give the boy." "I think the sins are busy.... Ugh, I have no idea...." Suddenly a voice could be heard. "A day off to go to a Party, maybe?~" And as it finished speaking a gust of wind blew an envelope straight into Rin's hands. "What the...? W-WHA!? HOW THE HELL DID-!?" Rin glared. "This 'party is...." "Oh dear! .... It's an omen, miss Rin! Are you going to listen to it?!?!" Rin put the envelope in her pocket, and sighed. "I might not have a choice." "Oh deary dear!"
