The Demon Queen was furious. Her Celty was hurting, she let out a scream and that was unacceptable, she wasn't allowed to be injured or hurt anymore! Kitra owed her that much at least, for rescuing her when she was stuck in her monster form. This battle reminded Kitra of the old days, and it reminded her of the worst part of that last battle at the Heaven's Gate. That was when she had to personally put down her siblings, first was Buer, who was unprepared for battle, then was Zepar, who was killed trying to free him, and lastly was Furfur, protecting Kitra from a fatal injury. "Lilim. Step away." Kitra warned, not wanting to go through the same thing again, not wanting to lose yet another precious sibling. But Lilim shook her head. "No. I won't! I won't let you keep doing this!" The succubus was making her stand, even if she was weak, she wasn't going to back down. So Kitra lunged at her and Lilim never once backed away and then she was hit, knocked to the side. "Time to take a nap." A non-fatal electric shock was enough to knock her out. One problem solved.
With that done, Kitra grabbed her sister and then spun her spear as a helicopter to fly her to where Celty was being held. There was a huge battle raging around her, Dragon Knights forming a protective circle while angels slashed and attacked, trying to save their littlest princess from demon clutches. That was when everything rumbled and the Demon Queen couldn't help but grin to herself. This was her chance, the other Scorpio contender was here, this was her chance to finally kill the last step stopping her from becoming the next Scorpio. But before she could locate her foe, flames erupted around Celty's position, from a fire arrow. One of the royal angel siblings, most likely.. Kitra flew in then, knowing this was her chance, and she grabbed Celty by the arm. "This is your chance." She whispered in the chaos, so no one else could hear. "Take Lilim to Heaven with you and run. Minerva's not looking, so I can do what I want." She cut through the chains and let out a yell, winking. "Celty! Get back here, you're mine!" A shout to fool the Dragon Knights, and she handed Lilim over to the Angel Princess.
The next move was to get to Minerva. They couldn't win, not at this rate. So she flew up onto Winona, who was dutifully waiting, hovering beside Minerva's dragon, who was concentrating hard on commanding. "Minerva, call off the troops. The whole Angel Army's here, let's quit while we're ahead. I already have another plan." Minerva nodded, and then the entirety of the Demon Army started to make preparations to pull back. "I trust you. Do your best, Kit, we're with you every step of the way!" With that done, Kitra let out another shout. "Scorpio's Contender! Show yourself! It's time to decide which of us will get the title!"
A large angel stepped out from the fray, one of the angel generals serving directly under King Zadkiel, clad in heavy armor. "My name is Hodkiel." He said in a rumbling voice, wings fluttering, ready for battle. "I'm the Demon Queen Kitra. Get a good look at your killer, okay?" Kitra sported an arrogant grin, and activated her scorpion insignia. Hodkiel did the same, both halves of the symbol coming together, floating over the space of their duel. It was time. Kitra lunged and struck, Hodkiel swung his hammer, the two clashed, sparks flying furiously. This was more than just a duel for the title of Scorpio, this was also eliminating one of the stronger angels serving in the Angel Army. "I'll kill you here and end the war, tyrant Queen!" The angel roared, but Kitra smiled calmly. She came this far, she wasn't going to lose here. "Think again." Kitra lunged, her spear going through the tiny holy in the armor's shoulder blades, and she let loose a fatal blast of electricity, frying him from the inside out. With Hodkiel down, the sign of Scorpio descended down to her and disappeared, new energy flowed through her body. She finally achieved it. And now, covered in wounds and broken bones, the Demon Queen collapsed.
She felt hands grabbing at her, an angel was speaking. "I'm killing her now. Any complaints?" Most of the Demon Army had retreated at this point, so there was no one who could take the Demon Queen back to Hell. But a hand stopped the angel holding an arrow to her throat. "Stop. Remember the deal?" Cambion. "We'll take her with us. Chain her up. We'll take Celeste back as well." There was a moment of silence but then Mizuki nodded, grimacing. "Fine, demon. I won't break our deal. But you and Lilim are gonna have to stick around and help us kill your parents. You sure you're up for it?" Cambion didn't miss a beat. "I want nothing more then to end my parent's lives. We'll cooperate, so don't worry about that." Hands grabbed Kitra, Cambion was carrying her now, but what mattered most here was that she finally, finally, was a Zodiac, just like Ronove, Zepar, and Furfur before her. She was finally their equal.
