Kikyo rolled her eyes at what he had to say. "Sure we will go with that. I will figure out a liaison, perhaps my husband Morik. Would you have a problem with that? He will be around anyways." She stayed quiet as she let him finish what he had to say.
"I used to have followers before I died. But I do not know how many Oni has turned against me because I was not around when Hell needed me. But that doesn't mean I don't have a few good followers left over. So I do not know immediately how to capture them, but I will try on my own." Kikyo put her hands behind her back and slowly walked away from the messenger. This was too much to take in all at once.
Standing there, surrounded by his fallen armor Inferno's glance locked on to Oni yet again. The air around the demon changed as bright embers appeared around him. The floor was uneasy, Oni was right to move back. As the former leader of Hell's tail attempted to make contact with Inferno's infamous mask, it was almost instantly stopped.
Lava had spiked up in the form of a spike before forming into a hand which grabbed Oni's tail. Not only was it burning it and attempting to melt it down flesh wise, it was tugging on it trying to bring Oni a little bit closer. The Fire Demon's eyes were even brighter now, his power over the elements already taking affect to their surroundings. The floor had a bit of an orange glow to it now as the temperature around Inferno was rising.
"Haha want me to throw myself into a coffin as well? Don't be so ridiculous!" answered the Lord of Fire. If Oni didn't let go of his tail, if it wasn't completely in ash at this point, the lava would have a bridge to reach Oni and punish him. As for Kira, Inferno kept hidden tabs on him as well. If Kira knew this and Inferno wasn't running, the warrior of wind of course realize that whatever he was planning Inferno was alright with.
[!] ~”The winds of freedom blows for those can't hope for it”~[!]
Hovering over head he knew he had to make these next series of moves count and he would be going over his tactics since he had the time, no pressure was a good thing. 'Alright, it's forming nicely but let's assume he is still trackin' me. If that's the case he knows this is coming and there is a high chance he has a counter to what i am wanting to pull off...He can make the chaos blast crap follow me if he is focused on me, i guess Oni stepped in some how to stop that from happening, and it can't seem to be very mobile in that aspect...' Kira may have been a reckless fighter, but for those that knew him his mind was a steel trap generally when it came to fighting, it was what he did best.
The orb would form a second into each hand, however one was blue with the wind being the sphere and then a small red flame in the center in his right hand, whilst the new one in Kira's left hand was a red flame sphere with a blue center assumed to be wind. Kira's Wind Dragon Bomb was complete for the time being, but it took alot for him to pull off these small sphere's but if Inferno judged them by their size he'd be in for a surprise, the amount of power condensed inside was swirling around and creating even more power, the longer they stayed contained the stronger they became. "...Practice make's progression, good thing perfection is over rated." Looking to his left the flame body would over within arms reach from him and the right that held his sword would do the same, it was time to advance forward
"Here goes nothing..." The bodies moved a few feet away from Kira, just outside of his wing span, and all three flew down towards the fortress, Kira held both orbs back in his hands as he was ready to thrust them forward when he felt it was time. He wasn't flying at full speed, but enough to make it hard to stop if he had too, but he had some fail safes in place just in case he had too, otherwise he would let Inferno know he was coming. "I'm coming for you Inferno! i won't allow the universe to fall just because you want to cause chaos! I will surpass you as a warrior! I carry Roy's will and i will see it done! Get ready you stupid warrior wanna be!" The flames around Kira's Body would spread out into a dragon yet again aiming for the dive bomb, and the flame bodies were attached to the out streched wings of the dragon, would Inferno focus on Kira or Oni at this point? And would Oni get out of the way, or would he interrupt Kira's attack? either or Kira planed on fighting this out.

As the lava stopped the tail Oni would let go and let the tail be consumed by the lava. He wasn't at all surprised by the outcome, in fact it was exactly what he thought would happen. "You know I forgot that your too scared to face someone in hand to hand without your armor to protect you. Your too weak to fight like a man. So weak that you can't rely on your own physical prowess to keep you alive. So pathetic that you hide behind your powers. Oni would start to laugh as he heard the hum of Kira's orbs coming closer.
He was already inside the radius of Inferno's Push Barrier so he didn't have to worry about that, but trying to leap frog past the lava would prove difficult even if he didn't have to restrain his speed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Suddenly Oni would dash forward towards Inferno. His footwork was exceptional keeping his feet from resting on the ground for less than a second between steps. "You know you could learn a thing or two from Arc! His defenses are better than yours but he doesn't have to wear armor to get in someone's face!" Once Oni was within striking distance he would attempt to punch Inferno right in the gut. A simple attack, but with the Fire Lords weak constitution it would be more than enough to knock the wind out of his sails.

Oni was correct on the differences between Arc and Inferno, however that is always why even Arc was cautious around the Fire Lord. Inferno's defenses were some of the best any warrior has ever delt with. The demon was been known to have an answer for just about any great offense. Oni was also aware of one of Inferno greatest defense techniques, and did well to avoid it however Kira would suffer the full bunt of it...or so Oni would think. The Push Barrier is the single most davastiting defense that alone had been Inferno "untouchable" however this time, the demon decided to be a bit more clever use Kira's own attacks against his comrade.
Oni dodged Inferno's lava with quick swiftness and even manage to get close to the Prize Fighter which for most was unheard of. Oni's punch made direct contact but instead of launching Inferno back, Inferno just stood there as Oni's fist was "sucked" in. Oni would feel something crush down around his entire arm like a vice grip before twisting for a complete lock around his forearm. If Oni looked up through the searing pain of not only his arm being lock but it facing incredible third degree burns instantly as lava threaten to melt away his flesh he'd noticed Inferno's eyes had gone pitch black.
What exactly happened? Inferno had left behind a shell of himself behind as a decoy. The shell is made of lava compressing together to form almost solid mixture of molten rock just before Inferno rapidly absorbs the heat from it to cool it. All of this happens in a matter of moments. After which, Inferno is then pulled down and relocated leaving behind lava within the decoy or anything else he may chose. When did he have the time do such a thing? Just before Oni decided to go on the attack, while Oni was talking about how Inferno could take lessons from Arc Inferno was paying attention to Kira's actions. With the ground super heated around his location and lava to act to his will, Inferno decided to leave a decoy in his place.
That was the least of Oni's problems, the ground around him also melted from being super-heated to wrap around his feet to help secure the former leade rof Hell's position and the arms of the decoy slammed forward on Oni's sides. To top it off Kira was rushing in with a deadly attack of his own. Kira won't be able to see what was happening due to the cloak around Inferno's body covering what was happening. Oni and Kira would also be able to sense Inferno's energy still there but Oni would know by this point that Inferno indeed wasn't there. What was the energy? A thermal bomb filled with super-heated plasma left into what was now just a hollowed shell filled with lava.
Inferno used this technique alot to allow him to escape critical sulutions or set up for one of his deadly finishers such as the lava prison but this time, it was used to trap Oni and leave him to deal with his comrade's attack. Even if he managed to escape, Kira would hit it dead on with his attack causing the thermal bomb to go off and threaten to incinerate him. Even if Kira could absorb fire and or heat, he won't be able to have a complete resistance to something of a tiny sun. It would pull Kira in upon contact before it would not explode but implode with it's own source of gravity. The only thing keeping it stable was the lava and Inferno's soft shell used to contain it within his decoy.
The implosion would stretch out a good 30 feet and pull anything within 40 to 50 feet to it's center before seconds later exploding out a good 70 feet in diameter. There would be nothing left of Inferno's throne room at this point, and they would be fighting on the floor one level below where the throne room, once was. After the explosion, a few pillars would still be collasping inward, falling to the lower level which was again some sort of hall. That is "if" Kira didn't manage to blow Oni and himself up.
[!] ~”The winds of freedom blows for those can't hope for it”~[!]
Kira's dive would sing along the air stream as he would watch Oni advance forward which he knew he'd do in either case, but he would either wallop Oni along with Inferno or he would have to pull away from the attack as a whole, it was the choice he would have to make, and not one he wanted too. 'Damn what a pain!' He would lean back as the flame body to the right of him extended it's left 'arm' and the flames of the wing would yank the wolf in the air back out of his flight path and he would bring the left body with him as well. Now hovering where the first floor of the building would have been, he would be looking around with his eye's making as little movement's as possible.
'That seemed almost to easy to be able to just charge up and get a free shot off, this guy isn't that stupid.' He would glance at Oni for a moment before resuming his scan. 'He isn't either, but this smells rotten, it's a two on one fight, and if i was in that spot, taking both out in one shot be the way to go. Azura go.' The left flame body would nod its head towards Kira as it would move and hover it's self above Oni, and slowly drift towards his back. 'With Azura and my merger she and i are able to work together to lighten the load on my power and body, she can control the flames while i handle everything else, and considering she's in my body any damage done to the flames has no effect on her, plus she can act on her own will which is even better.'
Kira would give the Red orb towards the flame body nearest to him and he would take his sword into his right hand after puting the blue one into his left hand, to wield the weapon he has been with for years yet again. 'Where would he be, there's no sign that he moved from that spot.' He would look around the base of Inferno and Oni as they were locked in close combat at this point. 'No footsteps, no trace in the dust on the ground from this place breakin' down from before, is he still there and i'm giving him to much credit? no way...only a fool let's their enemy take his foe's best shot...c'mon Kira, figure it out.'
He would look near Oni and see no trace as well, then nothing around Inferno either, it was maddening that he couldn't see the escape there were very few people in this universe that held more speed then he did, and one of them he knew was Raven, and to what he knew Inferno wasn't the speed type in this aspect. 'It's gonna turn into a power match...wonderful, guess we'll just get as much space and view as we can and wait, man i hate being patient' He would hover away from the flame body that held the blue wind orb, as he would hover further up to the 'roof' or where it would have been to get a better idea on what's going on, and the right body would hover more sorta behind inferno, like hawks Kira and his flame bodies would wait till they saw an opening, as of right now Oni had the battle he wanted, and Kira was gonna be patient, to his dismay of course.
[!] ~”And the flames of defiance burns bright within those that desire it ”~[!]
As his fist was sucked in and crushed by Inferno's body Oni would only growl louder. "I knew you were a coward! Using your fake body to escape though the ground just like always! And this.... Oni would motion towards his caught arm. "Just another attack that Arc does better! So why don't you stop hiding and fight me like you have a pair between your legs! Roy held more courage than you!" As he finished his sentence the King of Hell would rip his arm from the fake Inferno's body. The arm would fall limp to his side the damage that had been done was enough to incapacitate his arm until it was finished healing.
Unfortunately for the ex-summoner he wouldn't be granted time to heal while he waited for Inferno to show himself. By breaking his arm free of the fake Inferno and damaging the shell Oni had set off the implosion! With his feet still trapped the King of Hell wouldn't be able to escape the carnage of the explosion.
Boom!
Dust and smoke rolled though the remains, but what of Oni? Did he survive the blast? Or had he been blown away in little pieces? As the smoke began to clear the outline of his body could be seen in the smoke. While his body was still intact the question of if he survived still stood.....
Had Inferno defeated the King of Hell once and for all?

The messenger was silent for a moment, taking a moment to think. Then, he spoke again. "We find that agreeable. We will send one of the council to Hell. A few days may pass before he arrives." With their business concluded, the figment disappeared, leaving Kikyo to her thoughts.

Arc would make his way out of Mjollnir and back onto the streets of Ragnarok. Now that he had some insight from Kal the small petty fights that he had seen earlier had taken on a new life. Even if Kikyo or Oni hadn't even met about the topic the city was already splitting in half on who they thought should rule.
Glancing back to Lucas the demon's eyes would show the urgency of needing to meet with Kikyo. "We don't have any time to waste. I'm sure the Queen is sitting on the throne in Ukia Manor by now." Arc was clearly torn between rulers. Kikyo was the rightful leader of Hell, while Oni took the reigns during the darkest hour and kept Hell from becoming nothing more than a memory. To top things off Kikyo was the only one that knew the truth of his mission joining Cruxis. While she may not recognize his face or his name, his abilities are one of a kind and she would be sure to recognize them as Baldr's, right?

As the explosion expanded after imploding with Oni in the middle of it, the entire top half of Inferno's fortress collasped in on him. It crumbled down from all sides and Kira could only watch but the battle wasn't over yet, not by a long shot. There was still an force that had to be dealt with. With the decoy gone, it would be easier to track Inferno and of course sticking out like a sore thumb in the fortress courtyard was the fire demon. He was standing there with his arms crossed almost as if he was struggling to keep his patience.
The courtyard was levels down from the top of the fortress which had just collasped, there was no way Inferno was that fast and there was no elevators. But this was indeed the real one, not a decoy nor a clone. Inferno wasn't one ofr cloning techniques, infact he had none. "You are indeed one of a kind Vanguard!" he said mockingly. "You must be really strong to allow a friend of yours to perish so easily." said Inferno looking up at Kira. He knew Oni was't dead, infact he expected that. He had known Oni for such a long time. Oni was the warrior that was sent out to do things that the leader of Hell or it's Commander wanted done that left no ties or any clues. He was by far it's deadliest warrior at the time. It was scary seeing something unheard of at a power level that rivaled Hell's Leader and or Commander lay waste to so many foolish souls. Such a trick won't be enough to stop such a beast.
On the other hand, Inferno knew how much power Kira was holding on to as well. To be a Vanguard of Lucas no doubt, such a title doesn't come easy nor is it light to carry. Inferno was calculating that. But perhaps it was Kira's mistake to think Inferno was nothing but raw power. A big brainless brute maybe. Sadly that was not the case. Even in Lucas' prime, he too had trouble with Inferno. Each leader of Heaven had their battles with this legendary Prize Fighter. Lanerkin once needed the help of Hell's first leader Kikyo to bring him down. Raphael was said to be the fastest Arch-Angel Leader who vowed he'd defeat the demon, but never could lay a hand on him pass his defenses. Seth, never could break his fear of the stories that surrounded Inferno.
Kite, with all his clever wit and insane abilities couldn't bring Inferno to his knees. Lucas, perhaps the bravest of the brave. He too had his fair share of fighting with and against such power. The most skilled in battle, and yet required the help of Oni to throw away this monster in an eternal abyss. Consumed in his own power, this force can't be reconkened with. "You have failed to show me your worth boy. I offer you a second chance. Strike me, here and now. With the power you hold surely you feel it is enough! Or, you can watch as more bodies pile up on your conscious!" he said as his voice deepen, becoming more aggressive.
He was referring to the spheres that kira has prepared for him. he had been keeping tabs on them the entire time and now, he was forcing Kira's hand. The courtyard Inferno was in was massive and surrounded on all sides by the fortress it's self. He stood in the middle of it taunting Kira. "Very well then Vanguard! Then perhaps you can explain to Oni in the next life why his city is left in ruin!" Answered Inferno as he waved his left hand over while extending his arm out to the side of him. he didn't bother looking away from Kira.He was prepared to open a portal that would take him directing to the capital of Hell unless Kira took some action and challenged the Prize Fighter at that instant.
[!] ~”The winds of freedom blows for those can't hope for it”~[!]
Kira would be scaning about till he felt the air ripple down below, and that would cause him to fly back further and using his sword to cover his body from the flying debris, and the sounds of the rock would smack against his sword as the sounds of the cling off the metal was clear as day, and soon after the blast he would lower his sword to see hardly anything left where Oni was at. "..." Sniffing the air he caught wind of Inferno's scent, as he was at the courtyard bit of the castle, and his wings would flap in the air as he looked back towards where Oni was at. 'He's to stubborn to die.' Taking one of the healing potion's out of his charred pouch, one of flame bodies would take it from him and fly down to where Oni was. and would trade him the other orb in return. Kira would stare for a second as he really hoped he wasn't dead, and thinking back to some of their past interaction's chances were he wasn't but could he survive that? if anyone could it'd be him.
"Take care of him Azura, cya later bud..." Kira would take off, small embers would flew out of his wings almost leaving a trail to follow, and the flame body would hover just outside of the blast zone with the healing potion, it would land as it scanned around, it waited on the ground for Oni to appear, either to help him or to inform Kira of Oni's demise. The trick with Kira's and Azura's merger, is whatever Azura see's she could transmit to Kira and vice versa, but at this point and time, she too would be unsure if Oni had made it out of that death trap. Kira would finally make it towards the courtyard to see Inferno standing in the center, it seemed to be a thing to where his battles took him to courtyards, back in heaven he fought in another with Imperius when he tried to fight his way inside, last time there was rain however this time about he was facing someone far more deadly.
Kira would hover over head as he handed both of the orb's to the second body that followed him, and he only kept his sword with him in this battle, it was the one item that he trusted more then anything else he carried with him, and it's been with him the longest. The flames around his body would disperse, and he would fall to the ground cracking it as he landed, as his eyes were closed, Inferno would begin his taunts, but no flames which usually were the sign of Kira's emotion's were around him, it was almost as if the flames abandoned him, and no sooner once Kira had arrived Inferno would begin his taunt's and Kira would grit his teeth as he spoke about his friend dying easily, Inferno was pushing some button's he might regret sooner or later.
"Shut up already." Kira would mutter to himself maybe Inferno heard him maybe not, but something really was under Kira's skin. Once he spoke about showing his worth and about piling the bodies on his conscious, his eye's would reopen but this time, golden from before when Inferno had killed Imperius, If Inferno remembered this was the same 'form' Kira lashed out with at the prized fighter last they met, but this was the true Kira fully merged with Azura to go toe to toe with the lord of fire, no more restraint's no more handicaps the prized fighter had got what he wanted. "I am so sick and tired of you blabbing about me being a vanguard or Oni betraying you, and how you will cause chaos to fill the void in your soul! Oni ain't dead we both know he's to damn stubborn and as much as he and i go at each other, i've faith in him that he'll survive." Golden flames would rise from around his body as his flames practically roared around him, at this point Inferno would open the gateway towards the next city. "Now you've pissed me off! I don't care if you are stronger then me, even if that's the case and what i am doing is meaningless, every breath in my body will be spent trying!" The flames roared even louder then before as he grit his teeth a Inferno, it was time for the battle to begin. The Lord of Fire, The Prized Fighter Inferno Vs The Wind of Freedom, and Flame of Determination, Kira Skyra.
"You want me Inferno! You got me!" Kira would stare for a moment and stab his sword into the ground for a moment before pulling it back up and then start running towards Inferno, and he'd bring his sword over his right shoulder, and the flame body would land where he did and rise the red orb above it's head for a moment. Once Kira would be roughly 10 feet from Inferno he'd roar towards the ground as a wave of golden flames that was spreading out to cover any escape Inferno might of had, the flame body at the same time of the roar, would slam the red orb into the hole created by Kira's sword as it was acting on it's own free will.
Once Kira had created the wave of flames, he would in turn leap over it faster then it was moving, and he would swing his sword from his upper right to lower left, as a golden blade of wind would attempt to slam the prized fighter into the ground, and because of the force of the swing and the air coming from the attack Kira would use the wave of flames like a step or a wall to back flip away from where the two attacks were heading. 'Oni who is a close combat expert took a major beating from what happened, i've got a better idea and it'll allow me to get in close how i want.'
Kira more often then not was a reckless head long into the action type of person, but even he knew in a battle like this he would have to play his cards right, his saving grace was his ability's were not all out of the bag yet, but he knew he'd get one shot and he would need to make use of it, and he wanted to make sure he had enough time and room to pull off his plan, how would the lord of fire react to this frontal assault?

In an instant the rubble that had buried the King of Hell was sent flying in all directions. From the rubble stepped out Oni with one hand on his head. Looking around he would spot the flame body with on of Sabriel's healing potions. "Don't even try to hand that to me." The tiger didn't have a scratch on him! Somehow he survived that blast, but what's more he didn't even seem to have been damaged by it.
As if he had forgotten where he was Oni would sit down on a larger piece of rubble as he started to rub his head. My head is killing me. Just how did I manage to survive a blast like that? Better question why didn't it do very much damage to me? Even Oni didn't know how he just managed to survive such a blast. Unbeknownst to the King of Hell was that he had just tapped into his [Burst], [Trance], and [Rise] abilities. Each one represented a different aspect of his newfound PSI powers. As the implosion went off he used his [Strength-Type Rise] focused on his endurance and resistance to damage. The boost from his [Rise] was an amazing three hundred percent boost! This boost took his already impressive endurance and damage resistance of his hybrid form and multiplied them four times!
Of course he had pushed his new power to the limit all in one go without even knowing it and was now paying the price. Such a large use of PSI for his first usage had over worked his brain slightly damaging it. This was the cause of his headache. Oni wouldn't be moving for a few more seconds, not until his healing ability had fixed the damage he did to himself.
Letting out a sigh Oni would finally look around and spot Kira and Inferno in the courtyard. He'd glance back towards the flame body with an annoyed looked on his face. "Shouldn't you be down there helping him? I'll be down there once I catch my breath" Aside from his migraine Oni was also suffering from a slight double vision and a small case of vertigo from his PSI overuse. He wasn't in any condition to fight, but that would change soon enough. Could Kira hold on long enough for Oni to rejoin the action?
I... I can't back down, no matter how strong my opponents are, for any conceivable reason. If I retreated, and took even a single step back, then everything I did; every journey I made, every opponent I defeated, every ideal I stand for... it'd be gone! Everything! Nothing is worse to me than throwing away my families honor, and letting the Gitsune Legacy be forgotten or tarnished. Nothing at all.
It would be a fate worse than death, to live with such a tarnished pride. This is my motive, and nothing will deter me from it. Not even death .
