Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, hell no. The snake screamed in fury, and teleported, leaving the dancers behind. It reappeared minutes later, having warped through many inhospitable dimensions to shake whoever had been still clinging to it, and making a quick stop to save Cecilia and Ella. Where were they now? Ophiuchus didn't know, honestly. He was aiming for Canada, but have dropped them somewhere in Australia. First thing he did when he woke up was study modern geography. But, back to the fight.

Ophiuchus was seriously mad. NOBODY got the better of him. The snake was no longer a snake, but Ophiuchus' human form again. Or, as human as a demon could get.....

The Serpent Lord, airborne, gazed down at the pillar of fire. It was better than snow, but not by much. The air pressure suddenly changed, causing everyone's ears to pop. Clouds instantaneously formed, and an unnatural torrential downpour began. The water pooled on the ground, and began to attack the fire in great waves. What evaporated formed a great steam, making the air horribly hot and humid.

Well, there goes a loyal subject.... True enough, the python had perished in the fire. Or at least, what was left of him after a run-in with one of the dancers.

"You're too late Serpent!"
He threw his arms up triumphantly, and the fire roared back upwards, higher than before, a mile high, if not higher!
The ground began to split open beneath the fire.

An incredibly large humanoid shadow began to rise upwards, hunched over, through the flames very slowly.

"Yes, YES!"

"" he said in Latin. "" Ophiuchus muttered some curses, as he watched the shadow rise. He glanced down at Kai, who seemed to be having the time of his life playing mass murderer. Fine with him. They deserved it. The Serpent Lord wasn't going to sully his hands for them. For him however.... the Serpent had several gruesome images running through his mind.

((I feel like bringing a woman into this... Making a trio....))

((Sorry about this, but Riser is going completely aggro right now. Like this is the moment i've been leading up to with him, and you're crampin it razz ))
"Begone you mortal fool! You have no comprehension as to who you're playing with." Riser's hand smashed shut around Kai's throat, his neck beginning to creak and break. Riser's chest began to contort and move around, as if chewing. Kai ripped his hand out, or rather, his lack thereof. The armor on Riser's chest had now fallen off, and beneath the bandages lay a massive pair of disfigured jaws. He planted his foot into Kai's chest and sent him flying off.

He began to rise into the air as the shadow seemed to reach its peak. More than a mile vertically was its head. "The time has come!"
The shadow looked up at this tiny man. Suddenly, the jaws on Riser's chest shot out and grew grotesquely. They clamped onto the shadow, still enshrouded in flames, and began to devour it quite quickly.

Ophiuchus moved quickly, and caught Kai. "See, this is why I thoroughly enjoy privacy. No psychotic bastards to screw things over."

"now That wasn't very nice bandage boy!" he began to lunge at the man past ophiuchus, but a ghostly figure of the human kai stopped him "calm down nothing you can do right now so stop bothering, and let me have control I'll figure a way through this." the bat wings disappeared and the normal kai was standing in the crazed demons place "i'm gonna have to separate from that curse that dame zombie put on me." as he said that a black figure formed out of him "fine your body is no use anyway." it said as it disappeared into jungle."well that was easy." he stood back pondering what he should do. "what do you think ophiuchus?"

Terror enveloped them. Sheer and uncontrollable terror.
The ground began to split open around them, and a beast easily twice the size of the first rose up through the pillar, taking its first steps onto mortal soil, scorching everything beneath its immense foot.
The terror however, was caused by its appearance. The monster, yes, monster had to be the right word, nothing else could sum it up so conveniently, bore the noticeable shapes of Riser's odd suit of armor.
