Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's the habit of magical and semi-magical beings to do random things like appear out of thin air. Thank you, Samael. I'll produce the bed. It'll need to be properly reinforced and... mumble mumble......" *A bed appears off to the side, made of steel, but with a soft mattress.* "That should do it." *Eclipse puts Tanithor on the bed and ties him down.* "There. Now all we need to do is keep him from freaking out in a major way when he wakes up..."

"He's really a nice guy if you get to know him." "Or so the prince of lies, the devil himself says." *Lucifer and Chronos said as Lucifer appeared out of Ryudo's shadow and Chronos appeared through a time warp.*

"Like I said, he's nice if you get to know him. He can also do some pretty nice tricks." "Think we could do anything to change him?" "No."

"Like I said, three days. No more, no less. Tonight, when the moon is high and full, not a single person will be able to resist it. Well, okay, I will, Samael and Caitiff will, but that's because of who we are. I hear there's a ghost around who may make it through sane. And I don't think anybody else... unless... Eclipse... You may make it out, if a little... well, off. Teldra may well save your sanity. Well... I'm afraid it is time for me to leave. Chronos, you best join me. You can go wherever you like, just get the heck away from here." "Well, usually, I wouldn't trust you, but under the circumstances, I'm out of here. See you guys, I'll see you in... three days. If not three, then five. If not five, then hopefully, a week will suffice to end this." *With that, Lucifer dissolved into shadows and sank to the depths of the planet and beyond, entering his personal portal to hell. Chronos stepped into a time warp and sent himself three days ahead to his home, where he would then contact Lucifer to see if the world had become safe once more.*

"All I'm sure about is that he'll take you over in your entirety. Your body will likely transform to match his perfectly. Your power will be his, and his power will only be amplified by that. No matter how this ends, it won't be good."

"Well, hey, look on the bright side. He'll have already taken over the world until the end of the moon's effects, so he probably won't go around killing anybody."

"Well... For the moment... It appears that the only thing we can do is wait..." "Uh... what the heck is going on... Why am I chained down?!?!?" "Ah, Taithor, you're up." *Eclipse turned to Tanithor.* "We didn't know what mental condition you'd wake up in. Knowing the moon, and knowing Develes, it would have gone badly." "Oh... Uh... Thanks for chaining me down? Anyway, I'm going to sleep. if something bad happens, don't wake me."

"Chains on him are as efficient as chains on me. No point. I could tear through chains like a blade through the air. We could lock him or me in twelve thousand layers of steel and adamantium, magically reinforced to be unbreakable and unescapable. He would break out just as easily as I owuld with Teldra. Spells? Nothing. Steel? Right. Go ahead and try. Adamantium? I doubt it. We could break through anyway. No point in even thinking of trying."
