Using his short nature to his advantage, also using Sama's massivness too, Yo-ko found a way to sneak around to the entity's back right. His right arm was out stretched and his index finger was pointing and pulsing a purple aura. Yo-ko released the concentrated energy in the form of a ray that was aimed for the lower back of Tali, technically this evil entity. The spirit ray had the power of about a 50 caliber explosive round. This was one of his oldest techniques and one he was closed to mastery and used alot. He didnt love it so much for its power, but rather its quick delivery of a efficient yet destructive punch.
Although he couldnt time it perfectly with the entitys fire attack, he could maybe allow Sama to avoid the technique and also grab a better tactical position. Yo-ko had a few ideas cooking, but needed to see how the entity would respond to this attack as well as the Fox demons quick jump into the situation. He alone could not fight this entity, but could maybe start repositioning him for a much more tactical advantage utilizing everyones skills. If he could, maybe he could get a chance. But for now, he would to play hit and run.

In the kitchen, a young man was putting the finishing touches on a beverage that he took far too long to prepare. To his credit, he had indeed prepared the hot chocolate for the little girl, but only after taking into consideration the situation outside. Likely, she had wandered off. When he came back into the main room, the seriousness of his expression contradicted the usual joviality associated with the mugs he held in each hand. He didn't pay any mind to anyone there, although there wasn't really anyone there to notice him in the first place, but he placed both mugs on the bar and very casually made his way to the lounge, which by now looked like the complete opposite of a casual, relaxing room full of comfortable furniture and even more comfortable people.
His eyes swept across the room very quickly collecting information. Caine, Kirra, and Cado were all standing by, and he got the distinct impression that none of them felt particularly inclined to do anything, especially considering the size of the room and Tama. Getting around him would be enough of a problem, let alone getting to Tali, who seemed possessed, or frenzied as best as he could tell. Fortunately, Tama had Deity now, but Deity was unconscious, and Yo-ko the dreadlocked kitsune, was on the direct offensive.
"That probably won't work," he thought to himself as Yo-ko released a seemingly ineffective attack that would probably be the equivalent of a paintball shot at an average human; sure it might hurt a little, but it certainly wasn't fatal. "But this probably won't work either."
The thing that everyone had chosen to corner was at best an enigmatic antagonist. As it was using Tali's body, and seemed to be relatively competent, Kenta assumed that it could at least do anything Tali could do. Furthermore, depending on the manner of possession, it might also possess Tali's knowledge of the assembled crew's fighting styles. Worst of all, it was wielding the Shinorei, which pretty much everyone had warned him against. Their only real saving grace at the moment was Tali's hubris when it came to dealing with those perceived to be weaker than he was. He might have inadvertently deprived his aggressor of vital information by simply not entertaining anyone present with a casual sparring match. Come to think of it, Cado and Caine were probably better not in the fight and Deity was probably better off unconscious and weakened.
All that said, Kenta chose simple telekinesis to answer a simple question; is Tali dependent on oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon to breathe? To find out, he willed an invisible grip over his uncle's throat. It kept him at a distance to avoid an immediate counterattack, but it also might help Yo-ko's technique find its mark. Assuming Tali responded to deprivation of breath the same way most people did.

{{So Kenta has joined the fray as well, hmm cool.}}
Sama had planned on going into an offense style but with Yo-Ko and Kenta coming into the fray there was a prime opportunity to get Deity the ******** out of here! Both men seem to attack simultaneously, had both men been planning this or was it mere chance, either way it was a gate way to get Deity to safety. The Devil wasted no time as he pulled back his legs crunching down before exploding him backwards and out of harm’s way.
It was not so much the move but the details of the move that would interest the keen eye. Sama moved with the same speed as did the charging Tali and with little hindrance. The Devil was back and no more then twoo feet out of the lounge door way just as Tali reached Sama’s original position. Keeping the distance fair between him and the Entity as he well……tossed Deity aside. Not the nicest thing to do but with the boy out like a light he wouldn’t feel the pain of being thrown to the ground near the bar. This gave Sama his arms back, full movement, got him out of the way of Yo-Ko beam should it miss, and now with him practically in the door way the Entity had to literally go thru Sama to get to Deity…or go thru the walls. Nothing was for certain but Sama focused his attention on the evil and if it took one more step forward it would meet his big black fist.

Thankfully for Deity, Kirra was right next to Samayou to catch the unconscious boy. Knocked out or not, he'd feel the pain of that landing at some point, probably upon awakening. He was still vulnerable and weak after his 'death', as was made obvious just a moment ago by his futile attempts to break free.
Besides, Kirra didn't want her toy bruised up more than he already was going to be. It just wasn't done. With a glare towards Tamashii for his rather casual tossing of the club owner to the side, the young woman carried her charge swiftly away from the lounge. It was a rather amusing sight, someone of Kirra's size carrying one of Deity's, who was about a foot taller than her and more lanky than anything.
She took him over the the kitchen, separating him from the lounge with the elevator shaft between he and the thing in Taliman. Laying him out of sight behind the counter, she brushed a piece of dark hair out of his face before firmly patting him on the cheek. "You'll be alright here for now." Then she left him on the floor, leaving the kitchen and headed back to the lounge with every intention of keeping Taliman away from him.
Of course, with the two, now three with Kenta, men fighting it at once, there wasn't much place for her to jump in. The quarters were too close with the Entity trapped in the burning lounge to do much without risking the others. Not like they wouldn't be able to take a few licks....

The Dark Entity paid no mind to the shot to its back. Taliman on his own would not have noticed a manuever of such strength and one could assume that the beings possessing him either made the Emperor's body stronger or merely didn't care what happened to it. The attack evoked no reaction be it physical or otherwise. If the fox demon wished to have a role to play he'd need to pack a much, much greater punch.
Onto more important matters. Firstly, Samayou had sent the General to safety and prepared himself for a fight. The Entity grinned without ever stopping, a notion followed by the pillar of flame that speared ever faster after the black devil, staying just ahead of the raging beast controlling it. This wasn't a mindless animal but a calculating force of evil with its ultimate goal just within reach. It wouldn't ceaselessly chase its quarry like a maniac. The Entity aimed to slaughter everyone who wished to stop it. It was strong enough to do that, and it couldn't have chosen a better vessel than the Emperor of Orion, a man who single-handedly destroyed perhaps the planet's most competent fighter.
Second, the monster sensed an incoming psionic assault. A psychokinetic grasp around the throat. As the Entity hurtled toward Tama the effect was intercepted like a badly-telegraphed punch before being countered. The boy Kenta would experience it as though he were suffering a sudden, massive headache just behind his eyes for a split second as his telekinesis was denied. Simultaneously a splitting beam of energy would arc off of the phantom blade through the room like a lightning bolt stabbing into Kenta's chest. All of this without the Entity physically acknowledging that anything had occured. Taliman wasn't a psionic slouch but whatever these creatures were, they had him beat.
With demonic, hysterical laughter growing in volume around the building, the Dark Entity closed in on Tamashii. The beam of fire would continue oneward like a burning battering ram as the Entity's sword arm extended afterward in a forward palm thrust. Though still far out of reach the cloven extension stretched like a spring-loaded trap, claws splayed as though the massive hand was to grab Samayou by the ribcage. The Entity never stopped or slowed, so dealing with the wraith-like appendage still left the physical body behind it to attend to.

Game time baby!
Sama never enjoyed fighting for his life but this time was different, knowing he might not walk away if was different, refreshing. Years had gone by since he was in a scrap that could in fact kill him, most fights with the Gaian race he faced ended before things got rolling or desperation was even tasted, this fight was kicking off balls to the walls for the first punch.
Sama was not a flashy fighter like Taliman or the entity that controlled him, was it bad that his power could not be exposed cept for a few details, perhaps but in a way it was an advantage, no one knew exactly how tough he was untill he had his hands on them...then....and only then...did they know.
Unsure what to call him Sama would think of this thing purely as, Evil. So when Evil came in sword hand swinging Sama's reaction was a simultaneously explosion of strength and demonstration of power. The entire establishment shook violently more so then the lounge had when Tali had been taken over. The walls rocked as if about to give way and the flooring around the Devil's feet moaned like a horde of a thousand hungry dead. His body bulged so much so that his shirt ripped to shreds revealing his cut and surprisingly athletic form. Sculpted so much so that Greek gods would envy the organism that was The Gatekeeper.
That was the first second and that effect would displace the beam of fire, the energy rapidly shooting off in several directions like a ricochet of bullets. Sama had called upon the source of his power, Chaos Energy, and in doing so created a pulse that would displace the attack. Afterwards was a blur of black motion as Sama lunged to his left, snapping low with hands ready in a wrestling stance and jumping into motion. His feet swiftly carried him to the left and slipping past that massive claw with a lot of grace for someone his size. This put him to the right of his enemy who was still coming and fast with Sama's empty eyes locked on him...waiting to get him just a little closer....

This Gatekeeper was a quick one. The Entity was sadly not lucky enough to have a nimble vessel on his hands. While Taliman was endlessly quick with the use of the General's Shunkido technique, it consumed energy. The Entity had a time limit for this body, a set amount of energy to use. Taliman's energy. Once the vessel was empty it would die and be useless. Though reanimating dead flesh was a talent the beast possessed, occupying said decaying matter was not. It had to win out with raw power.
As Samayou deftly evaded the Entity broke into a wild spin, like a vertical barrel roll. It would still reach the position originally intended, but on the way it unleashed a hellish spin attack. The cloven hand was near instantly replaced by the wraith Shinorei, the tainted blade appearing with an angry spark and extending far beyond the limitations of the room. As the beast spun across the room like a rampant tornado the vile sword was carving the walls, floors and ceiling to bits as the devil tilted from side to side moving past Samayou. Sparks and flames engulfed the fighters as the building strained to stay together.
The Gatekeeper was eager for a hand-to-hand brawl, but he'd have to fight for it.

Too say Sama was impressed would be insulting, it was a very impressive attack style as he swept to his right barely avoiding a lash out from the blade. However to allow him to continue like this would jeopardize other lives, a gamble Sama refused to make. The beast would need to focus to pull this off and he had an advantage for this Entity was evil and had been trapped for so long, perhaps it was rusty but doubtful. Sama moved forward towards the deathly attack as his raw strength radiated a rippled effect around him, the chaos snapping within as he charged in fast with a bolt of movement. The sword came back around and as it did he ducted low avoiding it by a mere inch as he grew closer. The sword came around yet again and Sama moved forward and low, knees bent and spinning under it. Coming up with both hands steady as his stance formed solid and he unleashed his attack in a single flowing motion. He was but a mere 3 feet from the actually entity that was spinning like a tornado and from his position he thrust his right hand forward palm spread. To the naked eye nothing came out but to those who knew chaos the energy erupted from his palm in a channeled attack to break thru the wall of spinning death and slam the Entity back against the wall!
Chaos was hard to see it came to the eye as but ripples in the air and gray electrical sparks. It appeared as nothing more than that but under the rouse of a small spark was the power of Chaos the source of destruction and creation. It could not be controlled but more so was unleashed and when it hit it would hopefully slam into Tali’s body like a wall of steel and send him back and out of his death tornado rotation. The only hint was the split second before the attack that one could feel the energy spike. It wasn’t like Ki that could be sensed when it was charging up Chaos energy simply erupted, snapping and using the body of the wielder as a conduit to break free. Much like the Shukindo technique Deity used the energy could be called upon in an instant, 0-150 before the stop watch even began but the cost was wear on the physical body. This fact was evident by the steam slowly hissing in the air around Sama as it leaked from his skin.

He was right. Telekinesis was virtually useless in this fight, but though Kenta expected backlash, there was only so much he could anticipate. He felt the oncoming headache, but he also noticed the incoming lightning bolt. He braced himself physically and mentally at once, condensing a normal barrier to the size of a dome before him, like an over-sized contact lens. The attack slammed into the barrier, which held, flashing dangerously bright light before Kenta's closed eyes.
The psychic recoil was a bigger concern, but he shook it off, albeit slowly. So slowly in fact that he was grateful Tama was there to match speed with Tali because he would have probably been killed in that split-second otherwise.
As Tali entered his death spin, Kenta flew backward, out of the lounge, maintaining his barrier. Fighting off the numbness in his head, he braced his left arm as his ki spiked, jumping up significantly, but still rising. He didn't have a knack for going full power all at once. The partial barrier began glowing green and started spinning, but otherwise didn't move. With Tama still so engaged, and at such close quarters, Kenta did not dare make a ranged attack. Melee was Tama's specialty, to which Kenta was no slacker, but he didn't have the raw toughness to walk straight into a spinning whirlwind augmented by a sword, so he waited for his opening instead.

The Fox demon became slightly annoyed that his destraction didnt work and came to terms with the fact that he would have to accept that efficiency was not going to win this battle. If anything, they really didnt want a war of atrition. They needed to begin an attack, and do it quickly. The fox demon lowered his hands for the moment, retunring them to begin digging back into his pouch for a few new gagets. Sama hadn't been able to get the tactical advantage that Yo-ko would have liked, but he was doing what he did best and the red dredlock demon needed to find a way to support him without making any real collateral damage or friendly fire. It would be a challange but not impossible. Impossible was a word that Yo-ko would not accept.
Thankfully, the Fox-demon was behiend the entity, as his attempt at a destrction failed. This lack of attention would indeed be a slight advantage for the spirit user. The fox demon kept his guard up as he channeled his spiritual energy into his feet and imprinted a seal on the ground using his spiritual signature. Underneath the entity popped out 7 black colored chains, 3 of which crept into the spinning evil focus point and the other 4 out to the side of the attack. The "chains of suspended animation" was one of Yo-kos favorite seals that was made of an otherworld like metal that had yet to break. They would aim to wrap around the users legs, waist, arms out like a cross, then the neck to completely imobolize the opponent. Also, because it was a seal that the chains came out of a very strong opponent could not rip the chains out of the ground to escape. To say the least, this binding technique was one of the demons oldest and strongest.
His plan was to not be able to hold the entity long, but to allow Sama enough to time to get a few really really powerful shots in to weaken the evil and hopefully allow, if he wanted to, tali to maybe resume a little control over his own blade. Yo-ko had no idea if Tali's concious was still alive or possible of taking over, but it was worth a shot. Otherwise, this would get really ugly as Yo-ko to, sensing kenta getting ready to go, would have to start removing his stops too and really begin to fight.
There was no reason to get physically involved yet. For now, Sama was doing a great job physically like he always did. If he was on his game, Yo-ko was in no place to jepordize his position by jumping in randomly. Besides, why wasite the energy right now? If sama was going to fall, he would at least weaken the entity enough that at least kenta and Yo-ko could take him. Judging by the pressure of of Kirra, she could hold her own too. If everyone was getting powered up and ready, then this was going to get explosive and destructive quickly.

Working hard to achieve one's goals was a principle that the Gatekeeper clearly held dear. He had used his impressive speed to close in twixt lashing sword strikes and deliver an attack. Finally, time to duke it out. By the time he was prepping the strike the Entity had its back to him. The creature spinning so quickly as it was the plam thrust would without doubt connect with the stomach if the beast were to continue forward. After all it had been moving forward this entire time, so naturally in order to make a solid blow Tamashii would have to follow this movement.
So the Entity stopped. It was neither gradual nor subtle. A wave of dark energy continued forth in its place as it slammed on the brakes in sync with Samayou's literally Chaotic manuever. An impressive force to channel through one's own body. An agent of chaos itself, the Entity would admire such skill if it didn't have better things to do. Which it did. The palm strike would miss narrowly as the beast now spun in place. The Entity had already moved into its counter, avoiding all possibility of Tamashii preempting it by normal means. The phantom blade disappeared again as the beasts right arm swung down around the enemy's attack arm while it was still in the striking motion. The left hand simultaneously grabbed the wrist to prevent escape. Using the momentum of its spin the Dark Entity, with its back to the black devil's chest, performed a supersonic judo-style throw, sending the burly man to the ground.
With its counter-clockwise movement still at hand the Entity followed the big man down, locking its right arm around his, above the elbow, and thus releasing the wrist of the capture limb. Freeing its own left arm the Entity fell to the ground with Tamashii, both of them moving back-first; Tama spinning 180 degrees and falling backward from the throw, the Entity coming down just on top of his right arm. As they fell the beast hammered an angry left elbow to the stomach, increasing both the impact of the throw and damage to the solar plexus.
The two men themselves crashing into the floor would do enough damage as it was, the force of both men hitting the ground enough to send shattered wooden panels flying into the walls. The building was meant to withstand carnage but a lounging area wasn't meant for such a vicious battle.
Just outside of this mayhem, the fox demon had not gone unnoticed. He was simply ignored. The monsters residing within the Emperor didn't see him as a threat and thus far had not seen any evidence to prove otherwise. The binding technique wasn't a smart one as both men were in such close proximity that Yo-ko had as good a chance at ensnaring Tamashii as he did the Entity. Thankfully for both of these fools the chains failed. As they lashed out, black mist burst once again from the darkness surrounding Taliman's arm. The chains and smoky blackness collided, the mist smashing them back down and away. Blanketing the chains against the floor like a living shadow the mist was doing a fine job keeping outside interference, outside.
It at first appeared that the Entity had an imposisbly wide attention span and infinite peripheral vision. But Taliman was being controlled by at least a dozen different beings, possibly more. One of them in particular was noticably more competent than the rest. With the stench of death and dark vibes penetrating every wall of the building it only made sense that everyone was being watched, regardless of how intensely the Entity was focused on Tamashii. It was perfectly aware of its surroundings.

Caine had moved from behind the bar to the front of it now, but he still did not join the fray. Rather, he stayed to the back for now, watching the seemingly futile struggle between his boss and the other club patrons. He hesitated to join, wondering if this was planned by Taliman, but from the Emperors reaction to the whole ordeal in the beginning, Saewin doubted this.
No, this was something more. Something Taliman obviously had not expected. This time, he had trusted that demonic blade too much. A rare mistake for the ruler of Orion to make, but one that was costing them all dearly. Kirra had already gotten the target out of harms way, and Tybron being unconscious only made that easier. Now, as the lounge was torn apart and walls ripped down, the General kept watch, waiting and analyzing until he would have to also step in. With this beast in Taliman, it didn't matter who was in it's way. It seemed it was going to be a life or death battle for all there.
