"Ha...grudges. Yes, I suppose that's part of what keeps Heaven and Hell at each others' throats. You'll find, though, that I'm not quite like the Celestials you're familiar with."
Lucas glanced down to the Arena, still concerned for his friend Kira who was fighting but so far things had yet to be settled. So he'd look back to the woman, crossing his own arms in thought. Surely he would appreciate any help he could get but he did not think it wise to recruit people he wasn't close with or people that didn't have a deeper knowledge of the crisis.
"Although I can find an enemy here, you must understand that I'm worried about the enemies I am unaware of. I'd rather you keep what you have come to know to yourself. That and what you may find. There's a right time for everything. In this case for both the entities of Heaven and Hell, the time to know is not now...not that you're under any obligation to follow my word. I don't have any jurisdiction in this realm."

Once again as Ki swung his weapon it would hit nothing but air, but this time Oni didn't move behind him. No Oni had just walked away calling his scythe to him once more. He would place his scythe on his back and leap up on the edge of the stands, directly in front of Raven, Negi, Lucas, and Desdemonia. Once he was perched on the ledge Oni would shift back to his human form, but remain merged with Spirit.
"Lucas, you may want to order him to stand down before I'm forced to kill him. There's no reason for him to die today. Although he's weak compared to me, something tells me we are going to be needing him."
Oni didn't know what was going on since Kal hadn't given him any type of information as of yet. But Oni remembered his time alongside Light five years ago, and knew that if he was here something was going on.
"So tell me Lucas, what brings you to Hell?"
Oni was completely in the dark about the time difference between Earth and the other two realms. The summoner had focused all of his attention on matters closer to home, and left everything else to Kal.

". . ."
Wyndom stared as Oni walked away from Ki and approached Lucas. No hostility radiated from his body, which was why Wyndom allowed him so close to Heaven's leader. Not like Wyndom would have been fully prepared to stop him anyway, but he could have perhaps slowed him down enough for Raven and Lucas to take action.
Anyway, it seemed like the fight with Ki was all but over, which meant that leaving the group had become unnecessary. However, Wyndom still kept an eye on Ki, just in case. Wyndom hadn't just been scouting out all this time, he had been slowly spreading out and positioning his personal energy in key places throughout the arena - merely a precaution in case things went majorly south. He would refrain from recollecting this energy just yet, it might still be of use later on. Detecting this would be nigh impossible, as it lay in a dormant state; therefore, the output of energy it released was barely detectible even if you were staring right at it. Besides, with so many demons around with energy signatures flying everywhere, Wyndom was sure it was safe.
The energy was unique to Wyndom, and so only he would be able to set it off, a precaution against a random passerby causing it to fluctuate. It would need a distinct energy signature from Wyndom.
Now, if Ki should back down and allow the fight to be over, Wyndom would make his way back to Lucas, Raven, Oni, Negi, and Desdemonia.

"Oni."
Lucas would nod in respect, perhaps an odd gesture for a Celestial to make before any demon. But as he stated he was no ordinary Celestial, nor was this an ordinary occasion.
"I'm afraid any discussion as to why I'm here should be kept private. I apologize again for disrupting your earlier exercise but you know I wouldn't come to you like this if the matter was dismissible."
He'd look down to Kira, waving him back to the stands before looking for Wyndom and nodding. He was calling his Vanguards back to his side so that they could all leave the Arena. Lucas would also look back to Desdemonia and invite her to accompany him and the others.
"We've got another dilemma on our hands. I'd like to hold a meeting with my Vanguards, your brother Negi and this woman here, along with you of course. I believe we can all help and sort this out quickly."

"Fair enough, but I will be bringing a few others into this conversation."
Oni would point his thumb over his shoulder and down towards the arena to Avery, one of his new generals.
"Avery down there is one of the first to pass my advancement exam, so I want him and his partner to join in on this meeting as well as one other. He isn't formally part of Hell's Army, but he is one of my closest friends. His name is Kal, and we can hold this meeting in his bar. There's actually more privacy in Mjollnir than in Ukia Manor."
Oni would let out a small laugh as he stood up and jumped back down into the arena. He would look around the arena for a moment before shaking his head.
"SILENCE!"
With one word the roar of the arena disappeared as Oni began to govern over the unholy beings in the arena.
"Look at yourselves. Acting like a pack of ravenous wolves just because we have some.....holy.....company. This is not how we treat guests in my city. I don't know about his warriors but Lucas is to be treated with respect. If it wasn't for his help five years ago we would all be dead! Now everyone is dismissed! The arena is closed for the rest of the day for repairs."
Oni remembered just how hard the fight against Inferno and Raphael was and with Lucas, he would not have been able to defeat the two of them alone. He was going to make sure that the creatures of Hell understood that they owed their lives to him just as much as they did Oni. Oni would then turn his attention to Avery.
"Avery, find Kain and meet us at Mjollnir. And be quick about it."
Oni would then turn his attention back to Lucas with a lazy glance.
"Follow me, it won't take that long to reach Mjollnir."
With that Oni would turn and leave the arena via the fighters exit. As long as Lucas and his group stayed near either Oni or Negi they wouldn't get lost.

"I'm right behind you."
Leaping down to meet Oni, Lucas expected the people who were invited to the meeting to catch up shortly. His thoughts shifted through the memories of the last moments of the fight with Inferno and Raphael.
At the time, the idea to snuff out their existences was brilliant, albeit a huge gamble. By tearing open the fabrics of space, Oni and Lucas had essentially sucked the two Cruxis members into a void.
"Our past actions may have compromised our future, Oni. But there was no way around it. Inferno and Raphael had to go." Lucas would state, quietly and for Oni alone to hear. He'd smirk, finding a hint of humor in the dilemma. Although he was sure Oni would not find the situation so amusing, Lucas' attitude had pulled him out of dark situations many a time. However this time attitude alone would not fix the time crisis or the cause behind it.

Ki Would Frown as he walked away, Why? Reguardless he could have attacked, but decided against it, the goal was to get oni to talk with Lacus, Nothing else. And that Goal was Complete, Ki may have Had an Ego, But an Ego ment Nothing if everything was gone. Watching the Others Walk away Ki Would Leap where his clothes and armor was and put it back on, The Dragon scales fading back into his skin, As well as putting the bandages back on. His sword would Sing almost like it was Talking Ki Looked back to his blade on his back.
"I Didn't Go all out Cause the goal was Talk with Oni, I Could have 5times the speed if i went Feral Razorda. But again, The Gowl is done, Maybe after this whole thing i'll get the chance to show my true colors, But for now, Lets go with the group"
The Sword Sang one last time as he settled down and Ki Followed the Others, Ki Would Shake his head at the blade and follow behind lacus. just listening instead of talking for once. one of the Dragon scales on his arm was Red and spread alittle bit.

Wyndom would mimic Lucas, leaping down to the arena floor and follow the Leaders out of the arena. As he exited, the strings to his planted, personal energy would be severed, and they would naturally absorb into the spiritual essence of Hell's Realm over time...
Wyndom made sure to remember where they went, it wasn't every day you got a free tour of Hell, especially being a Vanguard to Heaven - who knew when such information would prove vital in the future.
Other members joined up, creating the core group of the meeting, including: Lucas, Oni, Raven, Ki, Negi, Desdemonia, Avery, and eventually Kain. The ones unfamiliar to Wyndom were given a once over to burn their image into his mind, but that was about it. There wasn't much else to gather as they walked along.
Soon enough, everyone's life would change.

Avery had been standing alone in the arena the whole entire time - that is, aside from Oni and Ki and their little spar. Kain had left on his merry way to prepare certain things for himself and Avery - especially now seeing that they had station amongst all of Hell. Eventually, of course, the fight between the two resided and Oni began to speak to the Celestials apparent leader. From what he could hear, this man was known as Lucas.
Lucas: Main celestial; Heaven's ruler.
Relation: Has ties with Oni: main demon; Hell's ruler.
Contains information of importance; level: ?
Strategic: 5'11, 165, unknown powers or weapon; Human hybrid; unknown second species.
Has three backup personnel - no new information. One demon - ties to Lucas? - possible enemy. Enemy threat levels? High - no advances. Voice imprints collected.
Avery didn't believe that leaving Oni with them was wise - no matter his respect or ties with them, but nodded in response to Oni's order. He would wait until the arena had all emptied out. In the same fashion he would summon his weapons, he summoned Kain. Kain, slightly stunned by the sudden change, looked around the arena before realizing that Avery had summoned him. "Oni and the visitors have moved off to the bar. It seems they have information about the two realms that is of dire importance. Did you complete your tasks?" "All but one. I can make it after this meeting - shouldn't take very long at all."
"What are the entropy levels?" Avery would ask, still copying Oni's voice. Moving his foot about, Avery would knock one of the smaller crystals away from him. "Minimal. We have a long time before we have to start worrying about anything like that." Kain would state calmly before beginning to focus on the Renzoken Crystals again. They would all begin to come together, becoming tighter and tighter compacted, but eventually they would reach their limits to how much they could compact, and would begin to crack, which of course released the vast amounts of energy inside, which would be immediately sucked back into the large mass of Renzoken Crystal.
It would appear as though it was exploding, and imploding, but yet the main mass would still always be intact. Finally, the end result of this process was a short yet large cylinder mass of Renzoken Crystal. It was perfectly shaped - the light all around them even gleamed off it's perfectly smooth and glossy surface. It was a solid mass of Renzoken Crystal, under great pressures, heat, and energies had been perfected. This was more or less refined crystal. Walking to it, Kain would turn his back to it, and the mass would hover up and almost magnetize to his back.
"Alright, I'm ready. Let's head to this meeting."
In a somewhat mad dash to the bar, Avery and Kain would finally catch up to the group, and finally slowing to match their pace. They would, however, make sure to stay behind the whole group.

Oni would remain silent as they continued to walk towards Mjollnir, all of the creatures they passed giving strange looks to the Leader of Hell for walking so closely and carefree with a group of celestials. He ignored them, still pondering Light's words. He was still completely in the dark about the situation on Earth, but would find out soon enough. After many twists and turns Oni would walk through two very large and ornate doors in the residential district of Ragnarok.
The bar was already empty and Kal was no where to be seen but once everyone had made it inside Oni would place his hand on a pad next to the door causing the bar to go into a lock-down mode. There was no way anyone would be able to make it inside now. This left Oni, Lucas, Raven, Wyndom, Ki, Negi, Desdemonia, Kain, Avery, and Kal all alone in the bar.
"Now then, we are far away from any prying ears. Make yourselves comfortable and let's talk. I'm sure Kal will be up in a moment. I just want to know what's so important that you would come all the way here personally Lucas."

"..."
Raven padded silently, flanking Lucas on his left side. She remained silent for the duration, choosing only to listen. Things had finally settled and she was more than grateful for the temporary truce between both worlds. Instead she chose to take in the information around her--perhaps she would even choose to speak when she felt necessary. For now, she was vigilant on the subject at hand, absorbing the details, storing them and committing them to memory. The crease of her lips twitched upwards into a smile, her gaze traversing around them as she swept the immediate vicinity around them. She checked to see who was watching, who was not watching? This had to be the most odd sight for all of Hell to witness before them. Perhaps the land would begin to freeze over at any moment.

"Now then, we are far away from any prying ears. Make yourselves comfortable and let's talk. I'm sure Kal will be up in a moment. I just want to know what's so important that you would come all the way here personally Lucas."
"Right, I'll get to the point."
As Lucas began to talk he'd hold his hand out, pulling into Oni's realm the Journal of Earth's history. Weaving the leatherbound book into existence, magical energies laced between Lucas' fingers. It would take a small fraction of a minute and it would be placed before Oni for him to read over.
"I had a traveler sent to Earth to keep track of how their realm was doing after the war with Cruxis. I was worried that stray members would try and strike back at Heaven and Hell. Unfortunately a far worse scenario was being played out. Religion was gone. Most of the people of Earth strayed away from it and considered angels and demons as legends and lore. This wouldn't be too big of an issue but for every year that has passed between Heaven and Hell one thousand years have passed over Earth. The past five years for us have been 5 millennia for Earth."
Lucas would look to everyone as he would now share his personal thoughts on the subject. Now that everyone was on the same page, Lucas would speak his mind, "Oni, I think after we tore open space to throw Raphael and Inferno a void that we may have damaged the flow of time. I also think that someone is behind the liberation of Earth's religious followings. You can feel it, can't you? Your powers are slowly weakening. I barely noticed myself but without the faith of Earth's people you and I will perish along with the realms we govern."

So that's what he meant when we were leaving the arena. While hearing all of this Oni's face would remain unchanging. "Then I guess the simple answer would be to abandon our posts as Leaders of the Realms and not die with the realm." Oni was of course joking, just wanting to get a rise out of the other people in the room before continuing. "But the simple answer just doesn't seem like any fun. So do we have any clues as to who or what we need to be looking for? Or is it currently a needle in a haystack situation with this being the only information we...."
Oni would be cut off by another voice in the room before he could finish his sentence. "That's not the only information we have. After hearing from Negi about the situation on Earth I did some digging around the secure information of Hell and have come across a rather unsettling piece of information." All the while as he spoke Kal was still in the back room working his way out front. Once Kal was in his usual place behind the bar he would look around the room. He would see two faces he knew and the rest were a mystery to him, although two of the auras felt similar to the two Oni faced off against not that long ago. "THEY'RE missing."

"Missing? Who's missing?"
Lucas was certainly curious about this. He could only imagine what kind of information this Kal had full access to. Lucas wasn't even sure he had full access to all of the information in Heaven! Although Lucas had quite a bit of information already, the Imperfect One did not doubt that Oni's informants knew quite a great deal of knowledge already.

His body shuddered in the dark as his puppets turned to ash. He tears himself free of his great machine, rising for the first time in thousands of years
*cough cough*
He reaches for the only piece of furniture in the room besides his mechanical life support throne. He removes the mechanical arm and re-attaches is, followed by the eye made of diamond. He slips on his suit and boots, reathing deeply without the help of his machines at long last
"The time... must be near... I... am required..."
He forces himself into reality, killing everything around himself in a ten foot radius
"Woah there... dial back a bit..."
He draws his power in and focuses, his shadow forming him a pair of sunglasses
"Ahh, thank you..."
He puts them on and looks at the sun for the first time since before the great wars
"Can't say I missed you..."
