Snippet #1852419

Joseph Halberd V.S. The Shinigami

"You pathetic man... your not even worth killing..." Shinigami drew himself back and launched himself onto his feet before he sent a kick towards Seph's side.

"AHHHH!" Seph screamed.

Roseby had had enough. He wasn't going to just stand there and watch Seph get torn apart anymore. He had to do something. For a short time a few months ago before he was kidnapped and passed from group to group as their own personal medic he'd worked at the Hospital for a short time. When the heat was on the pipes would rattle like crazy, it would drive him mad sometimes.The place didn't have central heating for when it got cold. It had...gas.

The kick landed directly in Seph's side snapping a small piece off one of Seph's ribs. He collided with the wall, but didn't fall. He looked up with a wild expression through the curtains of his messy straw-like hair. "I'm pathetic? No! You're the pathetic one! You parade around here like your some kind of grim reaper! Like you get to decide how long someone lives...or when someone dies! God doesn't even deserve that right! What makes you think you do?!" Seph roared.

"Seph!" Roseby called as he slid a lighter across the floor which landed beneath Seph's palm. Seph's eyes focused on Roseby who until that moment had only been silently in the background. Roseby swept up a semi-automatic someone had dropped, aimed it at the Shinigami in an upward arc firing several times.

Shinigami didn't even wince as the bullets pierced his body he merely tilted his head and stepped forward. Blood ran down between his lips as they were contorted into a smile. "I do get to decide who lives and dies... you see unlike you I don't need a gun to kill you. Even with one you've failed..." He brought his foot on Seph's foot before sending his knee up towards his face. He followed by with a round house and a underhanded knife towards Seph's stomach which he slid out of his belt. "Why do I get to choose? Because I have surpassed God... I am beyond divinity."

Some of the rounds when straight through the ceiling giving space for other bullets to travel slightly farther beyond thin layers of wood and plaster, piercing the tin pipes that was mere inches above. A thick smoke billowed down which would shroud the Shinigami in a curtain of white.

"You're beyond...shit." Seph coughed flicking the lighter on and flinging it toward the Shinigami which would ignite a pillar of fire with the demon god burning at the center like a witch.

The pillar of flames encircled Shinigami as he was smashed against the floor by the force of the explosion, however as fire travels upwards it did not engulf him entirely. Even so he lay still on the ground before slipping another set of knives into his fingers and sending them flying into Alex's strike team. "Heh... heh... I am beyond shit... while you are drowning in it."
