Alaric jumped back as the purple flame burst out from the ground and the beast, Cerberus appeared, "I thought we had a little bit more time." He took one step back as the creature got closer to them, he looked up to see the ceiling crumble overhead. Alaric didn't know what to do against a creature this powerful, he didn't know what to do. His sky blue eyes glared at the beast, but then he suddenly his eyes widen when the beast mention he knew who Alaric and Akemi parents were. Could this creature really know who he is mother is? How does this creature know about his birth mother? He knew she was a powerful demon, but how powerful was she to been known my a beast that been stuck in the halls of the Cram School for five hundred years. All these thoughts were scattering within his mind, he tried to keep focus, but he couldn't knowing that there was someone who knew of his mother. "What do you know..." he said before the beast started to charge towards the group, he had to get out of the way as fast as possible.
Alaric knew of the Fatal Verse Ignazio was using since he did use it against him earlier that day, "I really need to move out of the way." With a burst of wind he moved his body backwards and upward, he was completely clear from the actual impact, but he was still pushed back from the after shock and flew up in the air and into the wall. With another burst of wind he cushion his impact, but it didn't do much since he was to late and made a clear impact. His body made a crack in the wall as it bounce off of it. Alaric was able to keep himself levitated in the air with his ability to manipulate the wind. He looked back down to see that Ignazio's black mist was covering the area, but before it took complete cover he saw Ignazio hitting the wall, "Ignazio..." Alaric tried his beast not to scream. He just clinched his fist which caused it too bleed. This mission was becoming more then they could handle, the brain of the group just go knocked out, so what should they do?
Suddenly the beast started to release purple flames all over the room, "Crap." Alaric started to maneuver his body in the air as if he was flying, he moved right to left to dodge the flames. He stopped himself before he ran into one of the attacks. "I hope everyone else is doing fine. They are still stuck in the mist," he worried about his team mates, they weren't able to take flight like Alaric, so they were danger. The half breed kept moving around the room as he dodge the attacks from the creature, while doing so he tried to come up with a few ideas, "Alright from this point of view I can have an idea where the beast is located at and I can faintly feel Titus aura, but not enough though. What can I do? If I use any wind techniques it will just blow away the mist. How about if I use lightning?" Suddenly his thought was interrupted by a lightning strikes, Alaric sighed, "Great it can use lightning base attack, which means mine will be useless, crap!" Alaric was getting annoyed that there wasn't much he could do at this point of time. Anything he does at his ability will only make the beast angry and cause more damage to the area. Alaric didn't want to see that, so he decided to keep on moving until he was needed.

looking around the corner she could see caverns and walls collapsing under the rage of the beast. Looking around she couldn't see anyone in any of the caverns none that were falling under the beasts rath. It was becoming too dangerous for anyone to be down there any longer. She could hear the growls of the beast echoing in the hall. The pain in her arm started to settle but the wound was still there. taking a deep breath in through her nose and out her mouth she calmed her body and mind. Turning the corner held the gun up with both hands and saw the mist drifting upwards. It was getting higher in the area and Akemi herself would find herself within the mist. She slowly started to walk out of the cavern and listened closely the the demon's rant. Slowly walking back down the steps she was back on the main ground. She walked over and leaned against the wall of the stairs and reached into her belt pulling out Decoy Grenade. she pressed the button on the top of it and tossed it as hard as she could and the sound of a gun shot would echo in the distance in front of her. She could hear words of her follow cram school attendees but she couldn't make out what they were saying. She hopped the sound of the gun shot would attract the dog over into that area she didn't know what it was Ignazio had planed but she thought it was strange that she hasn't heard anything from the boy. she held up her gun and pointed in the direction she threw the decoy grenade. The fog would help the beast from seeing her exact location she if she started shooting she could shoot and run, making sure not to stay in one location for too long. She was surprised to hear the demon give off his name. The name of a demon was a sign of weakness in the eyes of the Vatican for a demon their name is their pride. So for him to be yelling his name out for all to hear he must really be mentally tormented. The young exorcists in training haven't even done anything yet any the demon was already going insane. If Ignazio was still going to try and bind the beast that meant he needed time, and the others had to keep the beast occupied. Once she dog would move to where the sound was she planned on shooting off two bullets off at the beast and running off into the fog and run into another cavern that was hopefully still there. If not she would try to hide behind some rubble that would have most likely piled up on it's self from the beasts rampage. 'This beast really hated being trapped. He has the ability to use fire and lighting. So now i know that shell is out of the question, it won't have any effect on him.' For now she would just stick to the regular bullets put she was afraid they would have little to no effect at all.

The half breed struggled to keep his consciousness, as he felt his eyes close from the lack of air not coming to him. Was he really about to get knocked out because of one swing? However, no matter how much he thought not to pass out, he came closer and closer to completely blacking out. He'd hit the wall pretty hard, and nothing more would have satisfied him than to get the over sized dog beaten to a pulp.
As his consciousness began to fade, he felt his body being lifted up. "Heh...So I suppose he got to me. Damn.. There was so much left to do..." At this point, he gave in to the want to pass out, thinking it was over. However, as if he'd been woken up by his cousin, a forceful hand smacked him across the face, waking him up. The young man hit the ground of the cavern they were in, and bounced upright, gasping for air. Able to breath again, he held his chest, and continued to calm his heart rate. It seemed that Lloyd had rescued him, and basically revived him. The young man owed his life to the knight standing by the entrance to the cavern.
Shaking off the tiny pebbles of debris that were stuck in his hair, he stood up, trying to get a view of the entrance. Lloyd then said something very encouraging and exciting to the half breed. "Fight?" Taking in the information given to him, the half breed cracked his knuckles, followed by his neck. The young man had serious look on his face, ready to use the blade and the flames for the first time since he became an exwire. "Alright Lloyd-san, I understand. " The young man took out the Kurikara, but waited to unsheathe it. His identity was pretty much revealed to the whole group now, so he figured it was about time. The half breed stood next to Lloyd, holding the unsheathed blade in his left hand, and attached it to his belt.
"I'm assuming that not everyone made it from that thing's attack as cleanly as you did, right?" Scratching his head, he looked around to try and see if he could see anything, and spotted Alaric, who had taken to the skies, but Akemi and Ignazio were unseen. He clicked his tongue again, and crossed his arms. "Should we try and regroup? You know we can't take that thing head on, even with that smoke screen messing with its vision.." Still trying to get a visual on Ignazio, he heard the demon roar in fury once more, followed by some flashy sparks and more purple flames. The young man began to dread the color purple, and was getting sick of it with each time they burst through the black smoke cloud. Debris started to fall as the Cerberus tripped over itself in the mist, and more of its attacks hit the other caverns one after another. The two were lucky its aiming was terrible at the moment, or they could have easily been killed just a few moments ago with that last tantrum the dog was throwing.
The black mist was steadily rising, mixing with the bits of debris falling from the caved in caverns and ceiling of the Tamer's Den. Titus sighed, and tried to shield his eyes from the dust cloud that was suddenly rising into the cavern. "This mutt's pretty cranky... I don't even think I could get to it at the moment without getting stomped on..." Waiting for the dust in the cavern to settle, he fanned the area in front of his eyes, hoping that his visuals would not be obscured because of the mist that was slowly entering the cavern. He could hear the echo of a gunshot throughout the den, and automatically assumed it was Akemi. Had she gotten trapped by the demon? Or was she doing something else? He waited on Lloyd's call before he did anything though. It was life or death now, so rushing in blindly was not the smart thing to do, and for once, Titus understood that. He clenched his teeth, hoping that everyone was still alive and able to fight.

Groans came from under the pile of rocks that had managed to stack rather nicely on top of each other as well as Ignazio’s left arm and leg. As the tamer started to come to he found himself cloaked in darkness, but not due to his spell, but due to pile up of rocks. Ignazio started to cry out in pain as he tried to move his left arm but it was pinned down just as his leg. The male was lucky that the pile up missed his right arm and leg leaving them free. Ignazio’s body was a mess. His blazer was torn practically to shreds, his pure white shirt was covered in sweat, blood, and dirt. The shirt was even missing a few buttons now, his tie was missing completely. Ignazio couldn’t see his pants while under the pile up of rocks. But he could hear the roar of the beast and felt the vibrations of its movements, then the crumbling of rocks from above as more were added to the pile that was above him already. ”Great, anymore of those fall and I might as well just roll over and die now.” he sarcastically told himself as he pulled his back off of the wall, but end up falling back down and crying out as the pain in his arm became too unbearable. ”It’s defiantly broken, and I can assume my leg is in the same shape.” blood stained tears came down the left side of his face as he placed his head against the rocky wall. Ignazio closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths as he tried to contain his anger, but it wasn’t helping, he was beyond angry. It was time to train this dog, and Ignazio wasn’t going to pay anyone else to do it. ”b*****d hit me, so now it’s going to get chained up.”
Ignazio’s eyes remained shut as he focused on the aura of the Cerberus and watched the aura move around within his mind’s eye. The purple aura moved in a circle and continued to stop at random and multiple elements came from the creature. Ignazio projected his qi outwards and noticed the energy of the others, and saw Alaric’s energy high above the reach of the mist, he clearly was safe. Akemi’s energy seemed stable and she was in a pretty safe location from what he could tell now BUT then she started to move closer to his location within the mist but she continued to move ’What the hell is that girl doing?’, as for Lloyd, it seemed he was babysitting Titus ’Looks like I owe him one for taking care of him.’. Crystal blue eyes opened and Ignazio raised his right hand in front of his face and then smirked before clinching it into a fist and then extended a single index finger. His finger nail touched the tip of the warm stone above his head. Soon the male took in a deep breath and exhaled before Qi forced its way through his body and into his right arm alone. Soon that Qi was projected outwards. Multiple glyphs formed and rapidly circled his right forearm. ”PrajvaloSNiisa!” he yelled as small ball of white light appeared between his nail and the stone, soon the ball exploded and raged upwards into a bright white burning light destroying everything above him. The light moved through the mist rapidly but due to the nature of the mist not even this magically created light could be seen, but that was until it spewed through the top of the mist and stabbed through the ceiling. The light was so bright, that it would blind anyone whom looked directly at it.
As the bright light dimmed down Ignazio’s body was free. He lowered his right hand and began to pull himself backwards with his right hand and pulled his hand upwards to grab the wall. As the wall became his crutch Ignazio pushed up on his right leg and pulled upwards with his right arm. It took all the strength he had to lift his body up halfway. Soon he was on his feet. Ignazio reached into the torn blazer and grabbed a talisman and held it up above his head. He kept his left foot off of the ground as he activated the talisman. ”Spirits of the wind, lend me your strength!” he called out as a gust of wind circled his body and he began to rise from the mist as if he was a wind spirit. Soon the male was in the air he directed himself backward into a cave and lowered himself down as the talisman was used up. Ignazio leaned against the wall and with his right shoulder and kept his battered and bleeding left arm and right leg lying limb. Extending his right hand out of the hole in the wall he focused on the source of the Cerberus’ Qi. ”b*****d, you should have kept silent while I was taking that little nap. You’re going back to hell.” Ignazio muttered as multiple golden glyphs appeared around the top surface of the black mist. Some were flat and some were on their sides, and some even appeared within the mist, but the others wouldn’t be able to see that due to their inexperience dealing with Fatal Verses, especially the one Ignazio was setting up. ”Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee? Or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?” the Barthomeloi heir recited as he closed his eyes and his body was engulf in a golden light of Qi.
As the pin from the grenade tapped against the ground, the beast’s ears all twitched at once. The large demon got low to the ground as multiple gun shots began to go off in the distance. The fog threw off its sense of sight which the large dog demon was very reliant on. But soon it caught the whiff of blood filling the air of the mist. ”So, the daughter of my Lord has come to play with me in this darkness, or have you fallen in this hole of nothingness too?” Soon the demon dog began to talk light steps in the direction of the gun fire but followed its nose in order to get closer to Akemi. ”I may not be able to see, but I can smell you. That light perfume and your blood, so you were injured from my initial strike, just like that Aria friend of yours…” but just as the beast was coming closer to the young dragoon whom was hiding in one of the lower caverns it’s paw blocked the entrance and it’s heads perked up as the echoing voice of the Aria filled the air. The demon dog began to howl as its head started to hurt from the words. ”Damn you Exorcist! I know that smell now, you’re a Barthomeloi! Damn you to hell! Shut up damn you!” the Cerberus barked as he moved away from Akemi’s hiding spot and started stalk towards the middle of the room. The dog searched around, turning each of its heads as it bared its fangs. ”Remove the fog and show yourself! I’ll end you quickly!”
The gun shots from below only made Ignazio worry about Akemi and he couldn’t help but think about getting rid of the only thing keeping the Cerberus from killing them all in a brutal fashion. But once the creature demanded he remove the mist, Ignazio smirked after he finished the first two lines of his fatal verse, he could tell that the demon was getting even more angry about the spell being cast on it. Although the spell was meant for the Kin of the Earth, it would still possess enough energy to bind down a Cerberus. Ignazio brought his right arm back and reached into the tattered blazer and removed five talismans. Although while he was removing the talismans and tossing them out into the open darkness he continued to chant the fatal verse for The Chains of Heaven. ”Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. My soul hath long dwelt with him hath peace.” The tamer’s voice echoed around the area as the glyphs began to rotate and additional ones were created, these were smaller in size but held the same golden design as the previous ones. Meanwhile the talismans slowly drifted down towards the black mist, and as each one entered into what was blacker than the darkest night, they activated one as at a time creating a massive vacuuming spell of wind. The wind burst forward and began to absorb the black smoke rapidly. Ignazio extended his right arm back towards the demon from within the cave as he kept his body against the cold stone wall to insure he didn’t move his left arm or leg.
With the mist clearing up he soon began to make out the image of the giant dog demon, His glyphs started to close in on their target as the rattling of chains could be heard around the room. Ignazio was surprised that the Demon knew of his family but that was until he remembered a small fact about his family being well known through Gehenna for several of reasons. As the tamer’s had was extended and palm locked directly on the center head of the Cerberus, Ignazio cracked a smile as his Qi was filling the area. Faint outlines of chains draped around his body and extended outwards into the open air and soon they vanished from sight completely. Ignazio’s chest moved up and down, as he took heavy breaths in order to keep his adrenalin pumping so he could ignore the pain in his left arm and leg. Blood dripped down the male’s left arm, leg, and left side of his face as he stood there. The bottom strands of his fudge colored hair was stained with blood, but with the rapid flowing of Qi, his hair began to raise off of his head, making it appear to be spiked. ’Only a little more, energy needed and then it’s mine. Game over for you, Cerberus.’

The beast had called out angrily over its sudden loss of sight, and the sound of its voice when doing so made him feel bad. Sure, it was trying to kill them, but only because it had been trapped within a dimensional rift for five hundred. He was willing to bet that at some point in its life, it was the nicest familiar to have around. That is to say, until it was betrayed. The three-headed dog released a wicked howl before he watched as purple flames sprung forth from the cloud of thick mist before it slammed into various different areas of the undergrund room. Following that, lightning blasted upwards as well before a cavern had collapsed in result of the dog demon's attack. "The Cerberus....Its going Berserk out of anger?" Upset by the simple fact that no one was fighting the beast in an area where no one could see, it got rather upset and began to call them out. Surely no one would meet its call and enter an area where the rest of this makeshift team could not easily get to right? "For you to assume anything would be foolish. In an actual battle, you assume nothing. Only go by what you know and what you do not know. Foolish assumptions lead to death." Yes he was being extreme, but it seemed like Titus had no battle experience, or any idea whatsoever on how an actual battle worked in the real world. His next few words warranted another slap. Of course they could not take the Cerberus on. If they could have taken it on without a problem, then there would have been no need for the mist screen at all. "That smoke screen messing with its vision, is currently the only thing that is keeping that Cerberus down there from coming up here and killing us all. From here on out, I am going to let you make your own decisions. Whatever you think would be the right thing to do, feel free to do so. Just understand that I will not be moving to bail you out once more."
Whatever he thought mattered not because multiple spheres of fire were soon being sent all over the place, and while he was sure that Titus, who had finally drawn Kurikara would be alright, he himself was not resistant to any type of flames. Diving back into recesses of the cave, he watched as a the area above him began to crumble slowly before all of the floor above him began to fall down. Fortunately enough, it had only blocked his path back to Titus and not crushed him. Placing his hands to the rubble before him now, he sighed before looking around for a way to get out. "well this sucks.""Not now Celebron. Trying to focus on getting out before we run out of air." Ignoring the possibility that Titus could have been hit by one of the Cerberus' lightning attacks, he focused solely on escaping, and in doing so, he quickly saw the hole that had formed in the ground above him due to the cave in. "I did not get a great look, but that mist is rising and fast due to the motions of the Cerberus. You need to make it to higher ground, but would he know to move on his own?" His voice called from behind the multiple rocks before he jumped up and caught hold of the ledge created by the cave-in. Naturally, as he took hold of the edge, it broke off and fell to the ground causing him to fall with it. Having landed hard on his backside, he muttered a few inaudible curses before leaping straight through the hole and onto the next level of caverns. Noticing one last hole above him, he lept up through the hole before making sure not to fall backwards and back down the two stories. By time he had managed to compose himself, he could hear the Cerberus shouting out its name in defiance.
"Sirzechs..I'll remember it." spoke Lloyd calmly before he brought a hand to cover his ears as the sound of a gun shot rang out in the distance. Immediately scanning the area for Akemi, he could not locate her, which meant that she was down there. "Why would she re-enter that mist. Seeing the Cerberus, I mean Sirzechs, remain within should have clued her into the fact that something had to be keeping it from leaving...So why then would she enter..?" While he tried to figure out her motives, movement from the smoke caused his eyes to look ahead at Ignazio who had gotten high into the air and had begun his casting. Sirzechs had begun to complain yet again, and in his complaints, he could only stare at Ignazio in awe. No matter how many times it seemed like there was no way out of a situation, Ignazio had managed to find a way every time.
Alaric looked around down below as he heard gunshot go off, he knew it was Akemi, she was the only Dragoon in the group. He bit his bottom lip which caused it to bleed as he looked down in a slight panic. Was there nothing he could do for his group? He couldn't really pin point where Akemi was located at and his attacks won't have any effect against the beast one bit. He did hear that Satan flames could defeat all other flames, but Titus was forbidden to use his flames, so Alaric couldn't use his idea to strength the flames with his wind and harm the beast that way. All Alaric could do was just there and wait for something to happen, but the moment he heard something bad he was going to burst down there and help, it didn't matter that he was told not to do anything reckless or heroic, but he couldn't just stand there and let his comrades die.
Alaric kept his position in the air, he waited for any type of activity. Suddenly a burst of light shot out of the mist and towards the ceiling. The glimpse of it slightly burned Alaric eyes, so he quickly went into on of the caverns above to hide from the light. "What the hell was that? That didn't seem like it came from the Cerberus. It felt like pure Qi.." he said to himself until he realize who it came from. Alaric was overjoyed to see that Ignazio wasn't completely down for the count. Not soon after Ignazio floated out of the mist and into another cavern, Alaric release of sigh of relief. "Good I really thought he was dead; however I wonder how much did that hit hurt him?" he asked himself. Alaric looked as glyphs started to appear around the mist, "I wonder what he has plan?" Alaric waited to see what will happen.
It seem that the beast knew that Ignazio was awake and also what family he was a part of. Alaric wonder briefly on how well known the Barthomeloi were and how long were they around, he had to do some research some time after this event. Alaric watched as the glyphs that Ignazio made started to absorb the black mist like it was vacuum. He did wonder why he wanted to clear the area, Ignazio could have used it for more cover, but he realize earlier that the mist was escaping the area so Ignazio might have thought it was pointless to keep around. He took this chance to see if can see anyone in the area, the mist was still a bit heavy, but he could tell there was no dead bodies anywhere, so that was good. Suddenly Alaric could feel Ignazio Qi within the whole area, "What kind of technique is he going to use?" The half breed notice outline of chains, but suddenly they vanished, "Why did it disappear? Could it be he doesn't have enough energy?""Damn it I wish I could do something," he said as he punched the wall of the cavern. Like before all Alaric could do is wait.

╔══════════════════════╗
The half breed looked blankly at Lloyd, as he gave him another lecture. It was going to be quite troublesome to talk to this guy, especially if he gave a lecture on EVERYTHING he said. He turned his attention away from the knight, still looking for his other teammates. Shaking his head, he clicked his tongue once more, thinking of his current options. "I could..Run in there and try and find Akemi and Ignazio, but that'd have me killed. I could run in there and try to cut off that thing's limbs but.. Nah, that's stupid too. But without our dear tamer guy to bind it like he was supposed to, what else should I do?" There was an obvious distressed look on the young man's face, as he slid his hand down his face, trying to figure out what he was gonna do.
Suddenly, a light streamed through the top of the mist, causing Titus to step back from the entrance of the cavern and shield his eyes as quickly as they looked. "The hell?!" It was almost like a flash bang, and if the young man looked any longer than he did, he was sure that he would have gone blind. Slowly he looked up, and there was only mist in his vision. As he looked, the tamer in question was in the air, but quickly retreated to the cavern. It was then that Lloyd spoke, giving him free reign over himself; He was free to do whatever he wanted. The half breed smiled, looking back at Lloyd, who'd retreated into the cavern. At the same time, the young man heard the cavern above caving in, sending down debris, which probably would have ended the half breed's life, had he not backed up. However, as he retreated, he lost his balance, and began to fall out of the mouth of the cavern. As soon as he felt he was about to fall, he simply leaned all the way back, and kicked his legs, to land on his feet. Sadly for him, he'd gone to far with the kick, and landed on his rear.
He stood up, now engulfed in the darkness, along with the Cerberus, who started to shout and holler once more, clearly annoyed with the mist. "Eh. Can't say I blame ya. Its pretty dark around here..." The young man sighed, and put his hands in front of him, hoping to find the wall. He needed to get to higher ground than this, and the only way to do that was by jumping into one.. He knew he would not be able to navigate in the smoke screen, so he began to try and feel for the walls of the den. With each small step, he waved his hands around, trying to get a touch of the stone walls that connected the caverns. Feeling that he'd have the dog trying to smash him at any moment, he quickened his pace, and after a few more steps, he had reached a wall.
"Damn.. I wish I could see..." Carefully, he slid his hand across the wall, looking for the entrance of a cavern. The young man rushed, and after finding one, took a deep breath before he took a powerful vertical leap. He was able to get to the third level, with his head peeking just above the mist. The black mist was still rising, and he looked up once more, and grabbed onto the ledge leading into the next cavern above him. Should the mist rise any higher, he knew he'd have to jump again. However, the half breed was satisfied with his current position, as he peered down into the pit of darkness below, hearing the stomps and howls of the three headed beast. The young man stood at the entrance of the cavern, seeing as there was a lot of rocks and debris pilled in its depths, preventing him from going deeper. Almost like the one he and Lloyd were in moments ago. Sighing, he put his hands on his head, and leaned back. "Can't find anyone except Alaric, and I can't really tell where that stupid beast is with the fog in the way. Ignazio's up to something, so maybe I should wait for that?" The young man scratched his head, and gripped onto the sheathe of the Kurikara. It wasn't time just yet for him to start using the flames, not until he was certain he could get a clear shot on the three headed beast. Looking up, he noticed that the other half breed, Alaric, was no longer in the air. It was probably because of the sudden flash of light that appeared from out of the smoke. That thing made the room seem like it had its own sun, mainly because of its brightness.
Sighing, put his hand on the wall of he cavern, waiting for his time to strike. He gripped the Kurikara tightly, and hoped that Ignazio would finish whatever he was planning on doing. The half breed's teeth were clenched, and his fingers were slowly tapping on the wall he had put his hand on. He wanted to be more useful than he currently was, and standing around would not cut it. His patience was running out.

As the mist was quickly sucked away by the wind created by the talismans, the Three heads of the giant dog became visible above the quickly vanishing mist and soon it’s body vanished. The Cerberus began to laugh slight as its tail wagged around. ”Oh, I shall save you for last Barthomeloi for releasing me from that prison. As for the rest of you, I think I’ll end you all now!” The three mouths opened as the demon had its vision restored with the disappearance of the Dark Mist spell. The Cerberus didn’t even pay attention to the fact it was circled by the Qi of the young Barthomeloi heir whom he claimed to kill last out of the group. It also didn’t take into concideration the location of the final member of the group, Lloyd. But that wasn’t on the great demon’s agenda, it just wanted to obtain it’s revenge and kill everyone that was in its way. The giant’s maws began to glow with burning Qi once again, but the color was no longer purple but a normal red and orange. Soon each of the heads took aim on a different target. The left head aimed at Alaric, the middle head aimed for the hiding place of Akemi, and the third aimed at Titus. Fire began to escape through the slivers between their teeth. Soon the moths opened as giant spheres of fire began to form. ”This is the end of you! Say goodbye traitors of Gehenna!” the demon growled as the spheres slowly began to exit their mouths.
’Ha, saving me for last huh? Chew on this b*****d!’ Ignazio’s eyes glared as he thought to himself about what the demon said, but it was far in the back of his mind he didn’t have a reason to lose his concentration and without further waiting, his palm opened as wide as it could as his brightly colored Qi illuminated the cavern he was within and he completed the end of the incantation with a mighty yell at the top of his lungs”I am for peace: but what I speak, they are for war!” With the completion of the incantation the glyph turned into what appeared to be ripples in the very air where they were created. Soon golden chains fired from the left and right and even from above. The chains moved swiftly around the great body of the Cerberus and wrapped around each of the mouths closing off their ability to breathe flames. The end of the chains flew into another glyph and soon appeared out of another glyph. The chains kept moving in and out glyphs until the giant beast was completely immobile due to it’s legs being chained up along with its mouths and a final wrapping around their necks as one and around their giant torso. The tamer clinched his hand into a fist and started to raise it up, but with great resistance, as the giant dog demon was extremely heavy. Ignazio opened his palm and summoned more chains to appear and stab around the demon and weave underneath it in order to form a hammock of chains under its belly. Ignazio started the move his hand again in order to move the demon once more into the air. ”You know, if you weren’t causing such a racket, I would have been out cold still, but you just had to go on a rampage. I swear, you’ve become a pathetic guard dog. Shut your whining. I would never forge a pact with a demon weaker than myself, especially one who can’t kill me on their first try.”
Ignazio started to breath heavily as he finished talking and then his hand clinched into a fist and the appearance of multiple and extremely long chains were underneath his grip. ”These are the Chain of Heaven, you know normally these would just be really sturdy and could be broken by a Kin of Iblis easily, but you’ve been using a lot of your Qi in your little fit about being sealed away. I don’t have time to deal with a giant puppy, and I’m pretty sure you’ve pissed off a few of these guys when I was buried and left for dead.” Ignazio growled at the demon as he moved his right shoulder and hopped slightly with his right foot in order to move closer to the edge of the cavern to expose most of his body. ”Because of your happy a**, I have a broken arm, leg, and more than likely three ribs. You’re a waste of space to me now after this. I’ve always been taught to put down dogs who bite the hand of their master, or you set them free. But it seems as though a member of the Barthomeloi House, must have released you once. Which means, the only option I have is to kill you.” The tamer glared down with icy eyes. Blood still dripped from his forehead and his arm. ”Any last words or any objections before I send this defective demon back to where it belongs?”

As the wind took the black mist away, the half breed who had been standing at the entrance of the cavern, immediately reached for the Kurikara's hilt. His brows furrowed, and he glared right at the three headed dog, who seemed to feel happy about his release from the little spell put on by Ignazio. Titus got into a defensive stance, ready to jump up and out of the cavern at any time.
The right head of the beast stared straight at the satanic half breed, obviously intent on shooting some type of flame or lightning blast at its silver haired target. However, it seemed as if the head wasn't thinking very clearly, since it chose fire to blast at the blue flamed prince. The flames began to form in the right head's mouth, but before the young man could react, a number of chains began to appear from nowhere, binding the beast, and sealing off its flames from firing. Titus' brow rose, as he let go of the hilt of his sword, and loosened the grip he had on the sheathe. His free hand began to scratched the back of his head, as he tried to grasp the situation. "Eh? Chains? The hell?" The young man shook his head, and let out a huge sigh as he took a step back in the cavern, seeing as the three headed dog was now bound by the aria's chains.
Ignazio seemed both angry and happy that he bound the demon, causing the half breed to look at the Cerberus with a devilish grin. That's what it deserved, after almost destroying the place, and bringing the group closer to death than they were used to. He heard Ignazio say another one of his speeches, before asking if anyone had any last words. Having the same smile he always put on, he tilted his head as he spoke directly to the demon. "Go ahead and suffer now, you ugly mutt!" The young man laughed a little, as he stared at the chained dog. At the same time, he wished he could have stabbed or cut the annoying demon at least once or twice, causing him to cross his arms. He would let the brown haired tamer have his fun, since he had some real bad injuries; A broken leg, arm, and some ribs too. The half breed wondered how he even hobbled to the entrance of the cavern like that.

When all of the mist had finally been taken care of, he watched as Sirzechs resounded once again in anger. It had not taken well to Ignazio's interference, but why had it known of his last name to begin with? Was it used to the magic the Barthomeloi tended to use, or perhaps, the fell of the magic was the same? Despite its declaration of ending them all now, each of the three heads that composed Sirzechs went for the half-demons among them instead of himself or even Ignazio. Had they simply forgotten about them? If that was the case, then he would have to show Sirzechs that neither he nor Ignazio were combatants that should have stopped being watched. Then, just as the three-headed beasts prepared to attack its targets, Lloyd had unsheathed his blade and jumped high into the air from his position with the cavern. He would have proceeded to strike what would have been a rather decisive blow had Ignazio's spell not taken affect. Golden chains appeared quickly, and just as fast as they were appearing, they were surrounding an entangling the Cerberus before them. The Chains of Heaven were truly an amazing thing to witness up close, and their binding abilities were legend. With the creature now bound and in a rather defenseless position, he flipped multiple times through the air in order to slow himself down before his feet landed softly on the ground. To hear that Ignazio had broken various parts was unsettling, and he could only assume that he must have gotten hit sometime after he had told them all to dodger the beast's initial strike.
For a moment, Lloyd looked to Sirzechs just to examine the beast's expressions on each of its faces when Ignazio threatened to send it back to where it had originated from. Titus' response made Lloyd want to go and hurt the young son of Satan. He had done nothing for the entire fight, similar to himself, and had even gotten injured, so why then did he act as though he were high and mighty? No matter, he knew that his next words would probably warrant him the hatred of all those in the room. Especially those who had been injured, but there was no turning away at this point. Sirzechs had retaliated due to being abandoned for five hundred years, and by a Barthomeloi at that. If it had been a member of his family, he would have tried apologizing and making amends, but he knew Ignazio and that was not something that would happen since Sirzechs had severely injured him. Sighing softly, he sheathed his sword before walking forwards at the restrained beast. "I have but one thing to say Ignazio." His words were calm but as he looked up at the large three-headed dog, he knew it had to be done. "I object to the killing of Sirzechs. He reacted like any demon would have when placed into his situation. You say a member of the Barthomeloi family released him, but he says he was betrayed, and to be released into a dimensional rift with no means of escape is something of a cruel punishment don't you think?" questioned Lloyd as he turned to look up at Ignazio with a smile. "I doubt that he means any true harm. What we've seen is just him releasing anger that I'm sure he's gripped onto for the last five hundred years. Why not grant him the freedom he has sought for these past years? In fact, I would ask that you release him. You have my word that he will do no harm once he is freed from the Chains of Heaven. If he does, I will strike him down myself." Now, having said that he would still need to give him a little bit of space so that he could wield his trump card with no fear of being interrupted before he could draw the blade. However, something told him that he would not need to draw his blade again.
The large demon dog was restrained once again, but this time it was restrained by something much more tormenting than a thick fog. ”How dare you talk to me like that!” the dog barked before his ears twitched as one of the small worms began to talk; the one that went by the name of Lloyd. Once the male mentioned the man who captured him as Ignazio all three heads turned to face the tamer but the binds began to tighten as it moved. ”Ignazio?” the dog said in almost fear but it began to growl. ”The man who imprisoned me…my master, no my old master’s name was Ignazio, that means, that makes you the child of that man! How dare you come here and face me! I’ll rip you apart!” The dog began to struggle and the chains tightened more and more as it moved until the demon was choked slightly and started to lower its body as its oxygen was being cut off. ”I don’t care what this human says, I’ll devour you the first chance I get. Just know that I will not forgive any of you Barthomeloi.”
Watching the demon dog struggle around, Ignazio kept his right arm and hand steady as he controlled the chains from his remote location. Soon Lloyd came from hiding and landed in front of the struggling animal and began to speak on its behalf. The tamer started to chuckle as the defense the Knight was giving was thrown away by the giant beast. Ignazio glared right back at the red eyes looking up at him. ”You heard him yourself Lloyd. He’s already made up his mind on killing me. My motto is kill them before they kill you, and I don’t plan on taking on my father’s rejected familiars, even if it is a slightly powerful one. So unless you plan on taking on this creature, I’m not going to deal with it.” the tamer replied as he lowered his right hand dispelling the fatal verse and causing the golden chains to vanish. ”Alaric, give me a hand over hear. I really can’t move well on my own, so it would be much appreciated if you could get me down from here.” Ignazio called over to the half-demon and started to wince in pain as his left arm touched the side of the cavern’s wall. The tamer’s face had a smirk on it after he recalled the demon that was released by his father when he was younger, but he figured his father killed it for failing to protect its master on an important mission; for that his father needed to use a cane to walk from time to time. ”Sirzechs, the Western Flame of Hell and Gate Keeper of the Barthomeloi House. Codename was Castle. You have grown, but your anger will not make you stronger, and it won’t free you from this place. Your only way out is through one of us, so you should choose your words wisely, or I’ll do what my father failed to do to you. I’m a little more heartless when it comes to slaying an opponent, my father however believes in imprisoning them and torturing them, but I’ll give them a death that they will only experience after they die. Think about that Sirzechs.”
