Morik cheered as he rooted himself, panels opening all over his metal arm.
"YES! ONCE AGAIN INTO THE GLORIOUS FRAY!
He caught the blast flat, digging his feet into the solid stone beneath. As the energy slammed into the black metal construct, it appeared some of it was absorbed, shadows pumping out of the open panels as he tried to convert the worst of it. The blast would move him, but not as far as Roy would have liked. His arm was blackened and scorched, and the hand glowed white hot, but no damage seemed to have been done, save to his suit which was flowing back together like it was made of liquid.
He sucks in his breath, inhaling some of the shadow stuff around him and spits a thick glob of black fluid at Shiroyasha, while his hand flows and changes into a blade from the elbow down.
He lunged at Roy while he spit, trying to land a series of rapid, hard strikes to throw him off balance
(I will try and keep general stuff its own paragraph, and have one segment for each of you since it's a 2v1)

Kal would only smile as Kikyo decided to take him up on his offer of information. "I had several secret passages built into this building that all connect to my bar, Mjollnir, near the southern end of the city. As far as what I know on what has happened since you have been away...." Kal would pause for a moment as he watched the display before him. He would reach into his pocket and pull out a square device, similar to a tablet, and press a few buttons on it before putting it back into his pocket.
"It would be quicker to tell you what I don't know. But why don't we take a walk as Roy suggested so we won't have to talk these fools." Kal would motion to Roy, Morik, and Shiroyasha. Slowly he would stand up from the pillar he was leaning on and take a step to the side before extending his arm outwards towards the pillar suggesting that they take a back way out of the manor.
Kikyo nodded her head and placed her hands behind her back. “I would like to be a moderator of this fight, but I really need to know what has happened. Look I’m lost, the only way I can be strong is if I know what has happened in my six year absence. No one is helping me, and I’m not sure if people know what is going on.” She started to walk out the room hoping that her husband was not going to be dead by the time she got back. But she needed answers.

Kal would furl his brow as Kikyo mentioned wanting to moderate the match. "Then I guess I will have to over come my distaste for such brutish displays." As he spoke the energy vampire would move his arm from behind the pillar towards the throne. Being so close to both Oni and Arc you would figure Kal would be use to such displays, but maybe that was the cause for his distaste in them? Once Kikyo took her seat on the throne Kal would take a small breath before starting in on what had happened in her absence.
"Please keep in mind most of what I know is only through records from before my time in Hell, but I have done my best to fill in the gaps to sate my own curiosity. After your disappearance and apparent death Roy took over leadership of Hell for the fight with Cruxis. He had not been on the throne long before Oni returned to Hell. From what Oni would tell me he was an assassin of sorts serving under you and Inferno. He had been sent on a mission and his brother, Negi, incapacitated him and sealed him and caused him to disappear for years. When he returned you were dead, Inferno was missing, and his son now sat on the throne.
Upon confronting Roy he was informed about Cruxis and that Inferno was among it's ranks. It was then that Oni decided that Roy was not capable enough to lead Hell in an assault against such a force. Not only did he lack the leadership skills required, but the battle tactics as well. After a brief contest of strength over the throne Oni emerged victorious and began his rule as King of Hell. During this time Heaven was experiencing a problem with corruption leaking through and Oni found himself mysteriously transported to the throne room of Heaven. There he met with the newly anointed King of Heaven, Lucas, and his Vanguards Kira, Wyndom, and Raven. The two forged an uneasy alliance and fought the corruption, which helped to sure up the alliance between the two kings.
After this Heaven and Hell mounted an assault against Cruxis. The final battle was one of Lucas and Oni versus Inferno and Raphael. The other two members of Cruxis were presumed dead during an internal power struggle. Inferno and Raphael's teamwork proved to be the deciding factor in the battle leading to Lucas and Oni's defeat. But instead of finishing off their fallen foes they decided to let them watch as they ascended into Gods. Of course, only one of them could obtain that power and so the two turned on each other. During their battle Oni and Lucas tore open a portal to the Abyss, sealing both Inferno and Raphael away and ending the war with Cruxis.
The two leaders returned to their respective realms with a peace treaty now in place. I do not know what occurred in Heaven during the next five years, but during the five years of peace that transpired after the defeat of Cruxis Oni used his power to reshape the capital city as you have noticed. He added guilds and used the military force as a police force. Ragnarok had a structure like never before, and a leader that treated all of his citizens with respect and not like dogs to be ruled. That is why you were forgotten so quickly Kikyo. That paired with the fear that you had abandoned your people when they needed you the most, caused them to push you from their thoughts and look only to their new leader. But I digress.
Your return comes at a very precarious time. The Seven Sins have been freed by a still unknown being. Very few knew of their existence after your father sealed them away so long ago. And even fewer had the means to be able to reach, and free, those monsters. Lucas, the King of Heaven, had come to Hell about a disruption in the flow of time on Earth. For every one year of peace we had held in Heaven and Hell, one thousand years had passed on Earth. This disruption of the flow of time, and the lack of influence from either Heaven or Hell, caused the people of Earth to think of angels and demons as mere myths. Cruxis had stole their faith and we never took action to restore it. This was causing the leaders of both Heaven and Hell to weaken along with their realms.
Once again Oni and Lucas vowed to work together to solve this mystery, but things never go as smooth as that do they? It was then that I discovered that the Sins were missing. It was assumed that the Sins were the cause of the disruption, and that they had to be killed. So we had decided to hunt down the only known counter to the Sins, the Virtues. The Virtues are artifacts crafted long ago that Lucifer used to weaken the Sin and trap them in Hell's Ice. Lucas and Oni decided to trade officers as a show of good faith to one another. Lucas left his Vanguard Kira with Oni, Kira being the hot-headed werewolf that left with who you and Roy suspect of being Inferno not long ago. Oni sent a general team, Kain and Avery, with Lucas. Although Kira is gone, neither Kain nor Avery have returned from Heaven.
Once Lucas, Raven, Wyndom, Kain, Avery, and Oni's brother Negi left for Heaven Oni started his search for the Virtues. I had discovered the first resided at a temple in the Frozen Wastes of Hell. Oni and Kira set out at once to recover the Virtue and when they returned they had not only the Virtue but it's guardian, Janus, whom you met earlier and Roy had also joined them. Oni left the Virtue with me, a helmet that I still haven't quite figured out the secret to. I gave him the location of the next Virtue, the Forest of Yggdrasil, and he sent Kira, Roy, and Janus to retrieve it alone needing some time alone to handle some personal business.
The trio set out to the forest as ordered and when they arrived two mysterious beings showed up claiming to be on a mission from Oni. And tried to take the Virtue for themselves. The guardian showed up and it looked as if a fight were about to break out when yet another figure showed up. The being wore a cloak and a tiger mask, and was also able to wield Chaos Energy. During the struggle Janus recovered the Virtue from the guardian who was an old friend of his as it turned out. The masked figure killed the guardian and Janus and the others were forced to retreat. They left the two mystery beings alone to deal with the masked figure. Upon their return they found Oni in a less than...acceptable frame of mind. He was in the arena testing possible generals, but instead of only wounding them as he normally would he was slaughtering them.
Oni was distraught over what he felt he had to do, and I will leave his personal business at that. After being confronted by his brother Oni returned home to clean up, telling the others that he would meet them at Mjollnir, my bar, to talk. Whie we waited on him we discussed the events of the forest and Kira was questioning what appeared to be a new warrior that Lucas had sent to aid us. As Oni approached the bar I picked up two massive energy signatures moments before they impacted the city. Roy, Kira, Negi, and Sam, the new recruit, headed to one location while Janus headed to the other alone. It was then that Oni disappeared, followed quickly by the disappearance of the two massive energy signatures, and the appearance of yours. I have spoken to Janus since I saw you rise and it appears that the two energy signatures that had appeared belonged to two of the Sins. But somehow after they landed they died, and I still do not know what caused that or if the other five yet survive."
Kal would take another breath before closing his eyes and hanging his head and crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't think that I forgot anything. So if that is all you need of me I will be taking my leave, while leaving one request. Think of it as payment for the information since I do not usually give it away for free, especially in that quantity. Do not let those three barbarians destroy the house of my friend. I know it is not the home you are used to, but it has become something of a symbol to the people of this city. A sign that times are better than they have ever been. I fear that if it is destroyed so quickly after your return people will see you as someone that would see their newfound happiness destroyed." The way that Kal phrased his request was a strategic move on his part. While he didn't care for Hell, or it's new leader, he just wanted a home for his friend to return to. Everything that he has said, as well as the way he said it, was to help ensure Oni had a home to return to.
OOC Why am I always the one stuck giving history lessons? gonk
Shiroyasha materializes a blade into her hand that absorbs the shadow glob entirely making the ones red veins on the sword turn pitch black.
" Roy look out! " she moves it to help.

Roy was not only surprised but taken back that Morik had survived. What unbelievable power he thought. Roy quickly jumped back and ready himself for Morik. As Morik close in the distance between the two of them Roy jumped up into the air just above Morik's head with a powerful axe kick which ignited in flames around his entire leg. The heel of his foot came down like lightning aiming to hit Morik on the top of his head.
Kikyo looked down to the ground. "I watched how my father ruled. He seemed to be sucessful and used fear to get them to listen. I thought i was better than t.t, but it turns out I was just as bad." She stood up and took everything in in what he said. Kikyo looked back at him and nodded her head. "I agree. I dont like fighting in my own home i wouldnt do it in someone elses."
She looked at the three and at the top of her lungs she yelled, "Take it outside and use the elements there! This is not a barn or a fight club as humans say. This is not your place."
Looking back at the man she sat back down. "I never realized what I had done, but I'm here to make it right. I will keep the hope in these people and I won't put fear into them. I will not abondon them again." Standing back up, her eyes did noy leave him "I promise that."

Shiroyasha sees an opening and aims a slash of light at Moriks feet to knock him off balance.
" Gotya "

Kal would flash a genuine smile towards Kikyo as she promised not to abandon the people again. Maybe her return to power isn't such a bad thing. Regardless Oni won't stand for it. I just hope he doesn't get himself killed over a throne he doesn't need. While Kal believed in everything that Oni did during his short time as King of Hell, he still knew that the beast within his friend needed space to run free. "If you ever need me just say so. As long as your in Hell, I will hear you." With that Kal would step behind the pillar and the sound of stone sliding on stone would once again be heard as the pathway he entered through closed behind him.

Kikyo nodded her head to him, "Thank you." She spoke humbly and watched him walk away. Her smile disappeared when she looked back at the three fighting. All she could do was hope that not one of them was going to destroy anything before they moved it outside. Sitting back down, she could not help but think about all that Kal had said to her. Was she that bad in the past? She didn't think she was, but no one was telling her otherwise. They had been scared of her for so long and fear that she would murder them in anger. "I can't let them think of me as a monster. I need to be here and do what's right." But what was right?
Morik laughed harder than ever "I hope your blade pulled that into your body. THATS NIGHTSHADE YOU FOOL!" As Roy jumped, he curled back and rolled into a ball on the floor. His metal arm lashed out and slammed into the ground, spikes firing out of the wrist to lock him firmly to the stone. He pushed away from the floor straight towards Roy, now upside-down with his metal arm holding him up. The arm took the shockwave suprisingly better than it would seem to, the light seeming to dim against the metal as it blasted into the firmly planted appendage. He kicked hard back at Roy, black fire engulfing his leg. As the two blows collided, a blast of energy would rock the room, hopefully throwing Shiroyasha off balance. He locked his good eye onto her, and a cloud of black shadow-stuff, cold as ice and sharp as steel fired from the socket.

Shiroyasha stands her ground and blocks with her blade,smirking alittle as she saw her heated breath due to the cold. Strange symbols danced around her blade as she waited for an opening.
" Tch don't insult my intelligence. A shadow user with nightshade is not that uncommon when you lived as long as I have. That is why this blade is my weapon of choice right now. The more you exert the stronger it gets. Then I can sever that arm you love so much. "

Diamus comes back into hell at the gates and simply walks through them because he still wore his general's uniform. That and he nearly killed the gatekeeper when he tried to stop him from returning in. However upon entering the gates he decided to surprise the residents by disguising himself as one of the spirits he absorbed and started to make his journey through the circles and to the main castle.
About halfway into his journey he observed the goings on throughout the realm and thought to himself 'hmm hasn't changed a bit..i'm pretty sure the only one that would know of me is Inferno and perhaps Lady Kikyo if she's still here'

Roy's and Morik's kicks collided, throwing Roy up and away from Morik. Roy back flipped in mid air below landing a good distance away from his opponent.
"Hey! We have to work together!" He called out to Shiroyasha. If the women agreed, Roy would begin to think of some combos that could be dangerous to Morik. "A shadow user?"
