Devil-Steel

Kira Skyra

LightsOfDecember

Grants would watch in astonishment as Oni left the Guild. Did the King of Hell decide to take on the blunt of Heaven's forces by himself? What was worse was that the General had little means of stopping Oni by himself. The fight was against Imperius and he feared that blood would flow through the streets soon. Although sure enough, Kira would set after Oni after giving Grants a shard of ice. With that and the Dragon Orb, Grants seemed to have a good chance of keeping in touch with the search party on Earth. However it would be for naught if Lucas' comrades were slain and St. Anne reduced to rubble. Even Sabriel had wished to go after Oni but the General was at a loss for words to properly express his disappointment.

"Sabriel...I won't force you to stay but I can equip you properly. I'll grant you full access to our armory."
Fishing into his inner pocket, Grants would take out a key and offer it to Sabriel. "This is one of six...Each Guildsmaster has one. I doubt anyone will stop you on your way to the armory at this time but that key should vouch for me. With that said, please excuse me. I'm afraid we don't have much time to act on Lucas' behalf. You can find me two doors down from here, in my study. I need to contact anyone willing to join our cause and gather them here immediately..."

The General would bow and hastily exit the medical quarters. As far as Grants was concerned, Oni and Kira were making a dangerous gamble. The swordsman did not see the odd stacked favorably for them but there was still a chance to gain an advantage. For now, Grants would have to work behind the scenes and tactically assist Lucas' allies from the shadows. First he would take out the Dragon Orb and activate its beacon.

Was time still flowing irregularly between realms? If that were true, hopefully Lucas would have met up with Wyndom by now. Either way, the room would darken and the orb would glow with an enveloping aura.
"Wyndom? Wyndom!? This is General Grants...do you copy?"

❄XXXSabriel MegalithXXX❄

As Kira left her and Grants, Sabriel didn't have much of a chance to call after him about Kora instead saying to no one in particular; "Well she's better than a few dozen fairy soldiers traipsing everywhere like a hoard of giant angry armored butterflies."
This comment made the patient in the next bed snort with laughter, apparently finding the mental imagery of huge angry armored butterflies amusing.

Sliding gracefully off f her sick bed, she accepted the key to the St Annes armory from the guild master with a smile, slipping it into one of the pouches on her belt.
Out of habit and need to reassure herself of their presence, the little fairy ran her fingertips across the tops of her fans Avalanche and Blizzard. Her next check was brushing her hands down the sides of her thighs to check on her daggers Faith and Honor who were hidden by her dress.
"Clothes are all I really require, but thanks."

Watching Grants quickly leave the room she frowned thoughtfully and tapped her hand in a random beat against the bed.
So here she was, alone in Heaven again with a key to the armory of their warriors guild.
As luck would have it though, now wasn't really the time for her to go exploring as she needed to get herself reequipped so she could join the search for Lucas again as soon as possible.

With a sigh she ruffled her hair, before picking a way out of the medical quarters in what she assumed was the direction of the armory, making sure to note the route she was taking.

"I have thought this through mutt. I just have to resort to something that hasn't been seen in about six years." A sly grin would spread over Oni's face as his pupils shifts from a humans to those of a dragon. His skin and armor would slowly fade in color until they became the same brown as his wings. Kira should already know what it was that Oni was planning on doing by watching the beginning stages of Oni's transformation.

Right on cue Imperius would speak up from behind the two of them. Oni would turn in the air to face his would be opponent only to watch him call in forty or so reinforcements. That still won't be enough to help save you. The smile on Oni's face would only widen as the angels crafted bows made of light. "If you think hiding behind a few weaklings will help you; your sadly mistaken."

As Imperius' sword fell Oni's wings would wrap around him and his body would rapidly grow in size. As the arrows of light drew near the now building sized dragon would unfurl its wings and deflect the arrows with the back of its wings. Oni would fold his wings up on his back leaving only spines behind him. Upon closer inspection of Oni one might notice that the dragon look more like a tiger covered in dragon scales. "Remember this Kira, I am a master over my body and my forms. While I usually prefer to fight as a small tiger covered in scales, I have found a way to combine the power and size of my dragon form, with the speed and agility of my tiger form. Just because you could not beat Imperius doesn't mean the same holds true for me!"

This was Oni opening move in what he felt would be a rather short battle against nothing more than a few flies.

As much as Kira and Oni wanted to be rid of the arrows so easily, they made incredible mistakes. The moment the arrows hit the wings of Oni, who attempted to deflect them, the arrows themselves burst into some sort of strange engluifing light leaving ripples around their bases. It was of course a huge trap. Instead of being reflect, strands of light poured out of the impact spots of Oni's wings evealing powerful runes that stretched around his wings. They'd attempt to imprint on not only the wings of the powerful dragon but consume all of his energy as well. If Oni had the ability to sense energy signatures, he'd only sense two....Kira and Imperius.

Oni's energy was quickly being stolen from him as hundreds of strands of light forced their way around him, wrapping around his limbs and attempting to steal away any and all abilities. As for Kira, he'd get a little surprise as well. The arrow exploded upon contact with Kira's flames, absorbing it's energy as well. The strands of light burst from the arrows aimed at Kira and attempted the same thing. The 40 angels hover before launching off towards Imperius' opponents. Each and every one of them morphing into strands of light themselves before quickly breaking off into what looked to be lights with more than 8 arms each.

Each strand, using these "arms" attempted to latch on to Kira and Oni. The more struggle, the more energy the strands would feed off and use it to strength not only the bonds but the runes themselves. "Please, you know not the will of God. But you soon will, I promise you both that he has a place for you....if you will just let go and open up to him you will see the true light." Said Imperius, as he held out his hand with his fingers outstretched towards Oni. "You will have a new life, a life without sin. My gift to you will be rebirth demon." Suddenly, the barrier surrounding them and protecting the city from the fight would compress.

Within moments, it compressed to a much small sphere, leaving only a couple hundred feet between Kira, Oni and Imperius himself. This would also make it more difficult to deal with such an overwhelming attack that Imperius has delivered.

Kira would understand how the arrows worked rather quickly, are they trying to capture them in a round about way? or are they aiming to slay them? Kira wouldn't understand, but he also knew that such frontial attack's were not he way of heaven, and prepared just incase, he was on top of a building after all. As the explosion's happened Kira slammed his flaming foot onto the burned roof top, and it would crumble under him, of course Kira was planing ahead, knowing full well after two engagement's each attack was more then one phase.

'Knowing Imperius those attack's had more then just kaboom's behind them, best if i don't waste to much time, and try and clear the field quickly, it's been awhile since i've cut loose after all.'

As he fell the flames would swirl around from where he was and quickly take the shape of a flaming twister, of course Kira wasn't done there not a chance. Leaning forward's towards the wall of the building that he was in it would meet a fate that the city possibly would, like a bullet out of a gun the twister would angle towards the wall which irony would have it would be toward's Imperius.

Stone flew in all direction's and the flame's would erupt out of the wall and Kira would rocket towards Imperius, course Kira had a back up plan, he was holding his breath for good reason after all, leaning forward to where his back was facing imperius, he would roar as the flames that came from his mouth would look almost like a shot gun blast, increasing his momentum to reach Imperius.

The fireballs however had a life of their own as they took the shape of wolf head's roughly 10 in number, they had enough power to at least knock the angels that they connect out of the fire, and would track them down, but the main purpose was to increase Kira's speed towards Imperius.

As Kira flew even faster like a bullet at the mighty angel, the flames would burst around his body even hotter then before, he wanted the arch angel and he wanted him bad. "Imperius! Face me like the warrior you claim to be! You can't tell me you happy with the result's of the last fight, bring it on! Arch Angel of Valor! Kira Skyra of freedom want's a piece of you! RAHHH!!!!!!" Kira's flames roared even louder, almost as if the roar of a dragon was coming from his body, Kira hoped that Oni would be able to take care of himself, he wanted the big man.

Just like I thought. Oni had been through thousands, if not millions, of fights. His battle instincts were on a level all their own, and it was in this fight he was going to show that even without the power of his summons that he was still a force to be reckoned with. Oni would shift all of his weight to his right foot which was out in front as the after image appeared in front of Kira. He's not going to rush at Kira head on. It's a simple distraction while he aims at one of my 'blind spots'. As the ball of light blasted up from below him, Imperius would find that even with his current size Oni would be a hard target to hit.

The Ruler of Hell would pivot on his right foot, leaving his upper body in place until the very last second before impact making it look as if he had just disappeared. Now that he had pivoted a full one hundred and eighty degrees on his right foot, his outstretched right arm would be only a few feet away from Imperius. Clenching his fist, Oni would twist his forearm downward towards the Arch-Angel. While the blow wouldn't hold Oni's full power, at his current size half power would be more than enough to leave an outline of Imperius on the ground below if he was struck. "You can try your outdated 'tactics' all you want Imperius, but my instincts will always prevail! Unlike everyone I have even known; I have never relied on magical abilities to win fights for me! I have only ever relied on my own ability!" While the King of Hell spoke he would be readjusting his feet so that he would be ready to pivot again when needed.

At last, the tow of them clashed! Oni vs Imperius, the arch-angel was well aware of Oni's powers and strength.Being the Leader of Hell wasn't something you just put on a resume, it demanded only Hell's finest and Oni was nothing short of that.Imperius caught the fist out of the corner of his eye, he'd quickly use his left arm throwing it up to block knowing full well the fist would never connect. To oni's surprise, the fist hit dead on sending some sort of vibrations through Imperius' "ball". The aura fluxed, before almost instantly reforming it's original shape.

Thraw power travelled through the aura, filtered through all kinds of runes and forced to spread out through the ball that was Imperius' aura. It absorbed Oni's attack. The arch-angel was still pushed back, but not far. Kira at this point was of no concerned. The grin of Imperius was a mystery. Why did he not consider Kira a threat, only Oni. He knew what he was doing, he only had to worry about Oni then he figured he could easily take down Kira. Rather this was true or not, the fact remained....did Imperius really have a chance against both of them?!

"I will let you both know on a little secret....I have developed the ultimate defense. I really have to hand it to your little friend Kira over there, because of him this was all made a reality." What was Imperius saying? What defense? "I'm afraid, neither one of you have a chance. Both of you refuse to face your judgement and God's mercy. I didn't want this to go this way but you leave me no choice, you see you are threats to his kingdom, The Kingdom of God. It's sad that I can't save you two and give you the gift of rebirth." said Imperius holding in his laugh. Just what was this angel hiding under neath his sleeve?

Imperius's eyes started to glow, while turning pure white. The eye balls themselves were changing. Bright lines of light started to 'pour' down his face a swell as they imprinted on his face.

"Allow me to show you the light!"
