Inferno was more annoyed than ever, yet again someone was in the way to stop him from finishing off Kira. It was none other than his old comrade and long time friend Takehitsu. However Inferno was consumed by rage from the lost of his son, Roy and corrupted by years of using Carnage. He was fighting more than just Oni, Kira, the spirit of Roy and Takehitsu, he was fighting himself. After a few moments of struggling to break free Inferno suddenly stopped to glare at his comrade who had interrupt his fight. "Very clever..." he said with aggression in his voice.
Takehitsu was one of the most brilliant fighters Inferno has ever known and this was nothing short of the reason why. His threads were made of the name material that was in Inferno's hands! After realizing this, Inferno's temperature lowered to about 2,000 degrees which was normal for the fire demon. Even Oni walking by angered him. He had been right, Oni had develop some sort of new abilities and on top of that Kira had healing potions that manage to survive the entire fight. Inferno was beyond pissed.He was blinded by more than just rage, but by his own power. Takehitsu could clearly see this, but would he be able to break Inferno and pull him out of his insanity?
Before Kira could ingest the potions they would explode by way of combustion. Inferno's eyes widen as he had contained a pocket of air and decided to blow it up where the vials were being held, which means there was a good chance Oni's hand was yet again on fire and Kire could have glass being flung on his face. Inferno was hellbent, and hated being contained but that was the thing.....he wasn't. Suddenly, a blighting white light flashed was showing through the lines of the threads. Kira had more than proven his strength and Inferno wasn't going to allow him to heal that easily. His only problem, getting pass Takehitsu.
The light quickly revealed it's self as a stored chaos beam which blasted from Inferno's palm and easily ripped through Takehitsu's threads. The threads now had Chaos Energy feeding on them. Inferno realizing this had already releasing a powerful energy barrier of his own to push the threads away. Takehitsu would also be able to noticed that as quickly as Inferno's barrier formed and appeared it was also eatened by the chaos energy from the threads but by this point they had been pushed away from Inferno. This was no new technique in Takehitsu's eyes either. It was one of Inferno's most deadly techniques.
The threads whipped lashed out, threatening to slash and cut Takehitsu's arm, shoulder and most of his back since he was the closest. It also threaten to hit Kira and Oni. Inferno landed firmly on the ground with a cloud of dust around him. They allow granted Inferno to again better use his lava techniques now. Inferno imagine with Takehitsu's speed that he'd be able to dodge or perhaps pull the threads away from the others and maybe disconnect them from himself. It has been awhile since Inferno had done battle with his old comrade but he knew how skilled he was. "Takehitsu, old friend did you really think you could contain me?!" He said as the aggression picked up in his voice.
Inferno clearly wasn't himself and he was determined to get though any one who stood in his way. He slowly lifted his right arm and extended towards Takehitsu and the inured Vanguard, Kira. If Oni, Kira and Takehitsu could sense energy signature that could feel the power rising around Inferno as he was prepared to unleash something fierce. "I am no slave to any weapon, this is my power and I will not allow you or anyone else stand in my way...not in one piece that is. Prepare yourself Takehitsu! After this, they will need tweezers to pick up the pieces!" he said with a grin on his face.
Would Oni and Takehitsu be able to reason with Inferno? Or would they welcome a point blank Atomic Blast?
Takehitsu stood watching Inferno intently. He knew Inferno more deeply than most anyone could have. Even his son and wife didn't know how well Inferno reacted to things in certain manners. As Oni walked past him he would catch a movement. Takehitsu held his hand up for just a second to impede his path, "This may take some time but my old friend will return to be himself I suggest you two back up lest your lives be in danger." A Takehitsu watched Inferno he didn't say anything. Inferno knew Takehitsu well enough to know he talked through action and not verbatim 98% of the time. However in this situation Takehitsu wasn't specifically doing anything out of place. Takehitsu heard the small blast behind him and did not need to look to understand Inferno was manipulating the effects of heat at a much higher capacity then he had in the past. As Inferno used his chaos beam to tear apart the Ghantak threads Takehitsu would smile for a second. His blood was just barely beginning to get hot. Many questions would arise to onlookers for example How could Takehitsu a mere human, who they probably did not realize he was just a normal human, stand so close to Inferno and not die from the heat alone. The answer was actually simple his clothes where highly technologically advanced and supplied an internal temperature environment that could contend with the coldness of space and extreme heats. Inferno already knew this. The threads before they could be completely consumed in Chaos the ends would whiplash them off away and sever themselves making counter projectiles to the flying threads. This actually did take a little mental effort on Takehitsu who normally would've just dodged. But with the falling embers of chaotic melting ghantak it would have become obvious he was actually working to protect Oni and Kira at this time.
To this however words would come once again, "Inferno you know if I wanted to contain you in a cell I would have done that right out from the bat. That's the first sign to me you aren't yourself. Have you forgotten my condition? I was a being trained as a weapon and you helped me find my humanity. Now I return the Favor. I can see through Carnage's lies like red drops of blood on pure white. Have you forgotten our very first fight, before you even had the Weapon Carnage where we were both incapacitated before either of us could land a finalizing blow to claim victory. Beyond that Do you not remember the many battles that we fought side by side, where you got to use actual weaponry from my era as I modified a flying machine to accommodate your heat. If I wanted to contain you in a cell even your chaos weaponry could not free you. No my friend. I am here to free you of the chaos. Besides the boundaries right now between the realm of the dead and the living is weak. Your son who I never knew fights against you even though dead. Those long dead have arisen and here you are consumed by a toy that has made you forget what you value the most. If you need to fight and vent anger then I alone shall be your opponent. For someone who fights filled with emotion is one who fights with his hands tied behind his back. You will never defeat me like this."
Takehitsu proclaimed and decided it was time to show off his newest toy. A piece he designed himself that made his own potential extremely dangerous. The entire design behind it was motivated from his fight with Kestral Silverdust and his greatest friend Inferno. Takehitsu tossed his cloak onto Kira, "That will help you recover at least a little keep it around you and run." Takehitsu stood for the first time in front of Inferno with no intention to hid himself behind his cloak. He still had the soul link in his eyes so his eyes were closed for the moment and he clasped his fists together. Ghantak plates solid plated armor clasped around his whole body in a mere second sliding around his back chest and soon his whole body. The form glowed which to Inferno if he knew anything of Takehitsu would instantly pick up the entire armor was thrumming with the highly advanced technological energy from his time. The shoulders opened upward releasing eight orbs that were a complete hi colored silver alike to Holy silver energy and swarmed around Takehitsu in an orb around him surrounding him in essentially silver dust.
Inferno probably would not be able to realize Takehitsu was a warrior who had no need for plated armor so why now did he have a full suit of platemail? Inferno's rage would not give light to such a thought however Kira would probably be asking that himself. Besides Takehitsu's all precious cloak was lent to him, another act the old Takehitsu would have never done.
[!] ~”The winds of freedom blows for those can't hope for it”~[!]
Kira would be out of breath as he had hardly any strength left in his legs muchless his body as Takehitsu held onto him, more often the case it was Kira that came to somebodies rescue or take over the battle, this was a role reversal he wasn't to happy with, but given the situation sometimes pride was a bad thing. "Thank's Takehitsu." Kira would look as Oni was advancing towards himself and Takehitsu, and his hand burned and was healing rapidly, Kira may have been depleted of any power but his senses, at least sight and smell were still sharp, and one thing he didn't understand is why Takehitsu appeared. But before he could ask his question he would watch Oni set him on the ground, and his hand's laid limp on the floor.
Kira could do hardly anything besides stare at Inferno, and Oni would be reaching into his pouch for the healing potion's, that magical pouch was a gift from the race that Sabriel came from, the fairy's. It would make any object that started to go into it smaller to where many more thing's could fit into it, and Kira had quite a supply of item's stored within, if Oni realized it, there was more then just potion's. "It...isn't over yet is it Takehitsu." Kira's voice was soft and had a shaky sound to it, rather Oni or Takehitsu realized it, Kira's whole body was in pain. He'd hear Oni mention to him about the potion's and he wasn't kidding, Kira was in dire need of them to say the least. With a small smile he would nod his head as his body began to shake, even talking at the moment hurt.
Kira's nose was one of the sharpest around and having the unique ability to see the wind shape into generally anything, he would notice a hot pocket of air start to move towards his pouch, the red coloring was a sign that it was hot, and he knew where it was coming from. "Move!" Kira would shove Oni away with his elbow as Kira's wind started to encircle around him and the pouch, a deadlock against the pouch getting destroyed. 'No matter what i can't let this get destroyed! if this thing get's blown up then i am as good as dead!' Kira's wind would clash with the pocket as he struggled to have his own wind push it away, normally this was natural for him to do. In the end he was losing ground and he knew it, and made a choice he knew he was gonna regret down the road.
"Flame Shape!" Kira's dragon eye's never shifted away, and while he was merged with Azura they would have remained that way till she was extracted, but while the duo were together he could manage his flame shape ability in his normal state. The pocket's of air formed almost into a misshaped ball, and Kira with what was left of his left hand would swat it away, and it would explode from a small distance away, the pouch was safe, but was Kira alright? Nope.
Kira's stunt would signal the end for him in the battle, as he came back around to try and sit up he'd not make it that far, but he'd fall to his sides to eat the dirt, Kira's defiance could only go as his body could, but he would be able to see what was happening next, Inferno broke free. 'Dammit...everything is going dark...i have nothing left, if only i was stronger...'' Kira's eye's would shut as he had reached his limit, which he had passed long ago, and he wouldn't hear or budge when Takehitsu's cloak landed on him. Hopefully Oni would take him away from the battle or he had to hope that Takehitsu could cover him enough in the battle.
Kira's sword would finally come back down to the ground as it landed on it's side at first, a distance behind where Kira and Oni were, and it'd shatter into pieces, the treasured weapon Kira has held for over 10 years had finally broken, and if Oni knew Kira's history that sword was like family to him, and he should know if Kira did see it, the wolf would try to fight more out of spite. Would Oni leave him or take him to safety?

For a while longer Kikyo analyzed the man in front of her. She was taken aback when he laughed.
"Stand down men. He's not a threat to the throne."
Kikyo turned around and waved for him to come in.
"Excuse the mess, it was not made by me and I'm working on starting a new...everything. This is not my home. This was created by a traitor. But me and you seem to be on the same page. But are you disappointed in the fact that I'm back, just like most people down here? I've made some enemies because I used to use my heart over my head. But I can assure you that my heart will not be a problem anymore."
That was what she considered Oni to be. A traitor. She stopped her walking and turned around to analyze him again.
"What is your name? You seem to know mine and some key facts about me, I believe it's fair to know yours."
She couldn't help but believe she knew this person many centuries ago.
As Takehitsu stopped him and warned him to back up for his own safety Oni would smile as he silently moved past him to tend to Kira. As Kira shoved him away the potions he held would be crushed on the ground causing Oni to let out a sigh. Inferno wouldn't just accept his defeat. Not in this condition at least. Oni was ready to be through with this fight and as Inferno threated to blow them up once more the portrait of Inferno and Maya with baby Roy flashed through his mind. "Maya..."
His voice was low and even Kira would find it hard to hear him, if he had been conscious. In one swift motion Oni would spin underneath the cloak that floated down towards Kira. The King of Hells claw would fly towards Inferno's outstretched hand. His aim was to interlink their fingers and grab hold. If successful his healing ability would keep the damage to a minimum now that Inferno's temperature was less than half of what it had been. "I don't know what Maya ever saw in a selfish, hate-filled, self-centered, tool like you. Just tell me on thing Inferno, what would Maya have to say about the way your acting? Is this the path she would have wanted you to take?! Would have wanted you to ignore Roy and let him die at the hands of Morik! In your quest for power you let yourself be corrupted by a weapon and you lost yourself. You lost the man that Maya fell in love with! If you ever want a chance at returning to being that man the stop this foolishness! Join us Inferno! Help us avenge Roy!" Oni could only hope that his words would strike at the core or the Fire Lord. That thoughts of Maya would reignite the heart that had turned to stone. If his words failed then he would be at the center of the upcoming explosion.

"Perhaps so..." Lucas looked to Arc for a moment, unsure of how to feel about the thought. The Nephilim was about to put himself in a dangerous situation with Hell's finest. Although Lucas had encountered Kikyo for a brief moment he felt that she wasn't one to be feared. In fact he would probably come to respect her. However he couldn't ignore his history with Inferno or Oni. And now he had Arc as a comrade.
Approaching the castle, Lucas started to feel a thick tension in the air. For as long as he could remember, the Nephilim could always tell when something was wrong. Something whispered at the back of his thoughts to turn around and try a different approach. However he wasn't quite sure why he would feel this way. Lucas' feet carried him forward and to the front gate of the castle before he could stop himself.
"Admittedly, I'm a little nervous. I feel like I was just put onto a chess board. Does that make sense?" He'd laugh at himself, attempting to shake off the uneasy feeling in his gut.
"Shall we?" He'd step into the castle, hailing the guards as he walked ahead. He wondered where these soldier's loyalty lied. To the throne? Oni? Kikyo? Whoever they cared for they would not hesitate to perform their duties. They'd escort Lucas and Arc to Kikyo and the Nephilim would not skip a beat once seeing her.
"Ah, Miss Kikyo. Pardon my sudden visit..." Lucas glanced to Arc once more, his face kept straight but his eyes dancing with intrigue. He did not expect to see Kikyo here. Lucas wasn't sure if he should address her as Queen, considering he still recognized Oni as Hell's King.
Garakon watched for a few moments wondering how exactly should he move forward with this conversation. A unique element of Garakon was that his voice did mot come from his body but it emanated from his soul element making the effect of coming from everywhere and nowhere. He would follow the woman's summons as she would peruse to try and remember things, but alas like all, things come and go. However in order to earn trust he would have to share at least a little.
"Back before I was imprisoned I was the third strongest being in hell. I became commander of the secret police force who had special skills able to detect a demons intentions. Our purpose was to eliminate internal threats to the Throne of Satan. However when reports of my race growing suddenly in power significantly became a threat I found my loyalties torn in two. I however sided with hell as a campaign was lead against the soul demons. They had great power but lost their sanity to use it wisely. After eliminating my entire race aside from myself Satan found me to be a threat and locked me away in a cell in the Gorge of Void, the only location in all of Hell that had life of some sort before we were put here. I stayed there for roughly 16000 years with no way out until two years ago.
I will not say that I find your presence unwelcome, rather I find that someone else from the old ways has finally returned. The last one who I saw who claimed to be the king of hell was not even a true being from hell, rather he seemed to be influenced by the humans. our prey and feel that hell should change and be like the humans trying to adapt. What he doesn't understand and refused to is that Hell is a pillar of power we do not adapt the world adapts to our presence. He did not like the proper ways of making hell a powerhouse and thus I left to go build my power and devastate him in a manner that would force all of the hell to recognize his folly. My only disappointment was my process of obtaining power was interrupted by a thrum of the Satanic Curse. A power only your father could wield." Garakon finished explaining himself again although this time in a bit of a different light. In short he was explaining that their knowledge of each other back in the day was highly limited. In fact at this point he honestly didn't have the slightest clue of how she fought or what powers she had. Regardless his conversation would soon be interrupted by none other then a Seraphim. Garakon would turn around and his power began blaring in absolute hatred. The energy of the souls would reflect that around and every now and then a distant wailing would be heard. Garakon raised his hand at the Seraphim a purple black energy cackling along the massive right arm covered in plated armor of an unknown material to the angels. He however abstained from acting as he didn't specifically know what the current circumstances where but he was ready. A downside of any fight breaking about right now was his first attack would probable obliterate half the building that that lecher Oni had copied from the humans.

Kikyo was intrigued by this person.She had heard of him centuries before, but just like many warriors in Hell they become a myth, and myths are created to either push yourself into battle or back away. "Ah yes, Garakon? Am I right? I've heard of you. Not from my father, but others. When he spoke that his job was to stop internal threats to the throne, she turned around and smiled back at him. She now knew how she was going to get Inferno and Oni. "Do your special skills only detect demons? Or can they detect any threat? Because I have an internal problem myself. I have two people who I was asked to get rid of, by Heaven. Heaven, coming to me for help." She chuckled at that. It was still interesting that they wanted to partner up. "But we are both threatened by the same threat. And I guess considering the circumstances I agreed upon a...how do you say...a slight peace treaty to get rid of currently two threats. A peace enough that when we find these two, we kill them. The first one Oni, the previous King and the second..." Her heart tugged her on the inside, but she knew for her own safety she had to let it go. "Inferno. My former right hand man and friend. It hurts me on a personal level but I understand his reasons. I am just not dying...again." Kikyo looked into her mind and thought about the times she had died. The different places she had gone. She was done being stuck alone in the darkness or whatever trick her father had for her. That was my fault. I'm sorry father, I should have reasoned with myself than given into my emotions. Your rule was almost reasonable, but now it's my turn to fix the problems you and I both had. "You see, I am having a bit of a difficult time trying to get myself to think about killing him. What I have done to him is painful, but he was a traitor to me before if my sources are correct. The part that is making this hard for me is the fact that I cannot kill Inferno. Not that I'm not strong enough, but I have a problem with taking the life of the person that has saved mine many of times. I owe him my life personally. As a warrior, you might understand a bit how that is going for me."
Kikyo spun around to see Lucas and Arc. She believed she might have met Lucas before, but she was unsure. "I am your majesty to you. This is my kingdom...even if the building is...not something I would consider...my home." She calmed down a bit before proceeding. "I apologize. Still trying to figure everything out up here." She pointed to her head. "What can I help you with?"
"Relax a little. If anything happens I will at least buy you time to leave. I have some personal business to settle with Kikyo regardless, but I can wait until our business on your behalf is done." Arc wasn't nervous, he was anxious. The one person that could clear his name had returned from the grave, but with him escorting Heaven's King would she feel inclined to do so?
As the two of the were escorted to where Kikyo and Garakon were located Arc could be seen gazing upon the pictures on the walls. More than a few depicted him with Oni and Negi, although he was wearing a different face in many of those pictures. From his time as Gojyo to his time as Baldr, but none with his current face. Shaking his head he would clear away the thoughts running through his mind as they entered the room with Kikyo and Garakon.
As the soul demon's power flared Arc would take yet another step forward his eyes locked on the other demon. This demon's power was ancient, much like his own. As the purplish black energy cackled along the massive demons arm, lightning would surge around the Kinzoku demon as he locked his eyes on the demon. "Lady Kikyo, I suggest you tighten the leash on your attack dog before the entire city finds itself in danger. Lucas and I are only here to speak with you."
The Legendary Devil wouldn't take his eyes off of Garakon, not even when he spoke to Kikyo. While she might find it disrespectful, any warrior knew that taking their eyes off of a demon of this size and power would be the last mistake you ever made. "I present to you Lucas, the King of Heaven. I ask as one of your former followers that you hear him out." Arc wanted to push straight into his personal matters, but didn't know if revealing himself as a member of Cruxis would be the prudent thing to do as of yet.

~~
Garakon watched this younger demon below him stare him in the eyes. He knew the ways of the old ones like himself and Garakon was thrilled by this. He had in a matter of hours found two other ancient beings although he was still convinced he was the elder of the lot. That was until he heard Lucas' name mention. Before that however Arc Was staring into what was perceived as Garakons eyes until eyes began opening all along his armor. Two things would bring the gigantic demon into laughter. Although back in his days power was not what defined one as Devil that was an unholy title for Emperor of hell which only one person ever held in his eyes. Although he knew nothing of what had occurred in the time he was sealed. Regardless Garakons being would laugh although his form would not shake or move instead his hand clasped around the ebbing power and was lowered discharging the energy back into storage.
First, nameless arch demon who has joined heaven. I am no attack dog regardless of whether I swear my services to the daughter of Lucifer or not. Second if Lucas who I have battled in the past is now the king of heaven, then things on Heavens end has truly degenerated." From the way Garakon announced where he had found his humor it was obvious his current stance against Arc. To Garakon everything was completely black and white, but mostly black. The credence of the old ones was simple, serve someone until you could overpower them and take their place. Everyone else other than the one they served was an enemy. The dark system of loyalty he knew hell to once be. Time must have changed things but he was not accustomed to them. Regardless of all that above he found this demon in front of him to keep him interested it was like seeing something that made him feel like nothing had changed although he knew it to be a lie. After all Hells fortress was designed like a Japanese Yakuza house living to fit in enough not to cause trouble but high enough to look down on the city. This to him was not a show of power but a show that the power was leashed.

Lucas looked to Garakon, his fists clenching to restrain an outburst of aggression. He'd click his tongue, intrigued and suspicious now that Garakon had put himself into the picture again. "You're just as vile as ever, Ancient One. Although I hate to admit it, yes, things have degenerated. But not just in Heaven."
Lucas would then look to Kikyo and hold his arms behind his back. "Excuse me, Queen Kikyo I stand corrected..." Although Lucas was not a Seraphim he had absorbed the soul of one. In fact that was what started half of this mess! His Kingdom labeled him treasonous and now he needed Hell's help. If Lucas took anyone here for granted he would most likely end up with more enemies.
"I'll cut to the chase. I'm here because I need assistance. There's a peace treaty still being upheld by Hell and Heaven but I'm afraid that promise is frail at the moment. Your Highness, I slayed one of my own and now Heaven's Council wishes me entrapped. However they wish to reignite the fires of hatred between our realms. I had no choice but to flee so that I could fight to reclaim my throne. Queen Kikyo, I am willing to secure Hell's throne for whomever is willing to assist me in reclaiming mine."
The Nephilim would become silent, awaiting a response to his proposal. If only he had had known the Council had already approached her first. Although Lucas was unaware, the King was a step behind his enemies.
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 5:25 pm
Kikyo's attention was not with Garakon anymore, but with Lucas. With her hands behind her back, she slowly walked towards him.
"Really? Now if I know any better there must have been a logical reason behind you killing one of your own. It must be a big deal if the both of you are coming down here asking for help."
She walked around him to analyze him as she replayed in her head about the messenger and what he had told her. Both of the men Heaven was looking for was right in front of her. But does she let them go?
"Give me a moment with my current adviser, since my husband is no where to be found I must talk about this with the only other person who understands what I should do." Kikyo turned around and looked at Garakon to follow her. She did not know if she should let them go and let Heaven deal with them like the messenger had said.
As eyes began to open all along Garakon's armor the demon would no longer focus on the demon in front of him, but rather look past him to keep him in full view. "If that is you way of asking for my name, I am Arcturus Amor, and I have no more joined Heaven than you have." The lightning that was arcing off of the Kinzoku demon's body would slowly dissipate as his clothing began to churn. Particles of Gokin smaller than the eye could see were spreading throughout the room at a constant rate. "I serve only myself now. Just because I can call Lucas a comrade does not mean that I have joined the ranks of Heaven's army."
Although he had mentioned serving Kikyo and had clearly stated that he no longer served her. His reasons still remained his and his alone. "Just because you are unable to lead yourself, don't assume that we are all so weak as to need the guidance of another." The demon would hold back his grin as he took a small pause. "No offense to you Lady Kikyo." Arc would do his best not to upset Kikyo remembering how she once ruled on emotion. Until Kikyo has shown that she was taking a stand against Lucas, Arc wouldn't take any chance of compromising Lucas' attempt at garnering aid.

The gaze of the fire demon locked on to Takehitsu now. "You think yourself greater than I?! You won't be worth anything after I am done with you! I will watch you burn comrade!" threaten the Prize Fighter who was blinded by his own rage. Takehitsu was indeed correct, while Inferno was in this state he would not fair well against him. Inferno's moves would be clumsy and not controlled. Takehitsu would easily be able to see through them and overcome if he himself failed to make a mistake.
Inferno couldn't help but noticed his old comrade risking his life to protect the vanguard that he was trying to end. It was making Inferno more aggressive and forcing him to summon more of his power. While aiming his open palm at them, Oni decided to interfere yet again. But this time, he would stand before Inferno and the blast that was sure to come. Oni had delivered some low blows to the fire demon but rather than it cool him down all it did was fuel the fire. Soon after their fingers locked, Oni unless he had a way to detect this and escape would feel a shock of pain.
Inferno's hand more than locked, it was made like a vice grip as it threaten to crush Oni's entire hand! How? Inferno wasn't known for having physical strength unless he was in armor form which he wasn't. Oni felt his entire arm being tugged closer to the Fire Lord as his flesh from the palm side was being ripped apart by the now forming Atomic Blast sphere. Inferno's hand suddenly spiked up in size, now fully overlapping Oni's hand. Oni's entire forearm would be crushed in an instant if he wasn't prepared. The amount of raw strength and pressure being used on him was unmeasured.
What was happening?! The Atomic Blast sphere within Inferno's palm was growing to an insane size as well. Inferno was transforming into his final form and his power was now growing, rising beyond anything Takehitsu or Kira would have known of. Even Oni may not have knowledge on this form since it wasn't used often. However, the energy that was nearly tripling had suddenly stopped. Inferno pulled away the sphere away from Oni and also allowed Oni's arm to be free, after the damage had been done of course. If Oni couldn't stop what was happening he'd discover that more than half of his arm was gone due to being "eaten" by the Atomic sphere Inferno was holding.
Inferno's power and energy as well as his temperature was decreasing at a rapid rate but why. He was also reversing his transformation. If they all took notice, his eyes were widen as if he was surprised and then the sadness crept in. The bright burning white of Inferno's eyes now left him returning his eyes to normal as he felt on his knees. What had happened? Was it Takehitsu? Did Oni manage to do something? It was neither of them. Inferno was looking at Kira's covered up body.
Next to Kira's body was a framed picture that had been damage by their battle. The picture was of Inferno, his love Maya and their son with a massive black dragon in the back ground. His arm, which was fully extended towards both Oni and Takehitsu was shaking violently as he struggle to keep the sphere stable but after a few moment the Fire Lord threw that arm straight up and fired the Atomic Blast. It flew high into the sky disappearing into the dark red clouds above before exploding.
The force of it could be seen, as it parted the clouds and even the sky it's self. Fire was now raining down upon the broken and breached Fortress. It was no danger to Inferno's opponents as by the time it reached them it was nothing but embers. Inferno's arms now fell to his sides as his head dropped. From a far, it could be noted that steam was rising from the ground below his head. The Prize Fighter was doing something that no one had ever witnessed. He was releasing his emotions in the form of not tears but liquid fire.

The wind would blow around Kira whom would be laid on the ground, the dust breezing past him, this held a few major effect's on the crumbled wolf, with the wind the feelings rode the air and Kira could understand everything going on. The confusion and rage in Inferno, Oni's frustration with the battle, Takehitsu's change of heart. All these emotion's surged into Kira's mind as his eye's opened to glare towards Inferno for a moment, the wolf would bare his fang's awhile more. Struggling to stand up he would set Takehitsu's cloak to the side with his left hand, the bones were cracked, but he could still move and he knew someone else was in more pain then he was right now, and it was the prized fighter. At this stage Inferno would have been staring at the picture that was next to the wolf, and Kira would notice it. "I get it..." Kira would connect the two together, Inferno's emotion's were surging cause of the picture of his love and Roy, and possibly the dragon. Kira would watch Inferno send the blast upwards but Kira wouldn't pay any attention to it, but stagger for a moment as he took slow steps towards Inferno. "It's maddening isn't it Inferno, to have all that power, but for what purpose, for what purpose did you seek power!"
Kira would shout at the prized fighter, hoping to get his attention. "Why did you seek power, you sought it for a reason, for a purpose you felt was worth getting it, not because you wanted it for hell, not for Oni either." After that Kira would cough as he spit blood off to the side as it trailed down the left side of his mouth, it was easy for anyone to notice he was struggling to move and was out of breath. He would stand within arms reach of the prized fighter, Kira's blue eye's trying to lock with the fire demon, but he found it hard to focus and would stagger once more as he planted his legs to try not to fall to the ground again, and Kira would grit his teeth in defiance of not only his injurys but to wanting to let thing's play out, he felt a kindred spirit in Inferno, even though he couldn't explain why. Raising his head he would go to his knee's being on equal grounds with the demon as he stared right at his dropped head.
"We're both were created...as weapons, we found a purpose outside of why we were born to get power, it wasn't for others to rule, it wasn't for we could rule a kingdom was it...we seek power to protect the one's important to us right...With your love i assume gone, and Roy, you've lost your way...stupid...they are with you still." Kira would lean back as he looked towards the falling embers in the sky. "In your soul, your heart they reside in you, is power worth throwing that all away, no...if i gave into the power of my weapon, i could...never look Alettea in the eye's and claim to be me." Kira would pant as he crossed his legs and sat down staring at the ground along the fire demon. "Inferno...*pant* will you still let your darkness take away what you have left of Roy and Maya was it that Oni said...*pant* If you keep walking that path, would they keep their smile, Inferno..." Kira would cough as he just sat there at the mercy of the fire demon, but the wolf was planing on standing his ground, and if fate sought to end him here, then that would be it. "Your friend's are here, Takehitsu, Oni, hell why not, Roy was my friend, and you are his father right...no weapon or any amount of power is worth what we aim to protect and fight for, you can still....make that choice...." Kira would just sit there as he had nothing more to say, would Inferno let his power consume him? or would Kira's reasoning get through to the prized fighter?
