"<******** me, worst fight with clothing I've had, and I've forced myself into a suit three sizes to small." Gamma made smalltalk while he reloaded the launcher with a flash grenade from his thight and made short check of everything. His HUD showed his heart rate slowly decline from the adrenaline leaving his system, and stepped around the cooling puddles of molten iron.

Stooping next to the laundry pile, he was wondering when the last time he did his laundry was, and grabbed the belt by an edge.

"Trophy's a trophy, huh?"

"True, though it seems odd how easily we were able to get it. Stow it for now, but be careful. It could just be a decoy and thus potentially trapped." Mentally he moved through the maps he had been able to gather so far of the area. Along one map was a red dot for each spot he had attacked or caused damages. "So where to now?"

"Well, I haven't seen any of the other people from the temple in a while. Rather; at all." Gamma said, jamming the belt into his top-fed pack, bending his arm back over his head.
"Lot's of ground to cover and s**t like this," he motioned to the flaming pile of clothing and goblets of cooled iron with the riotgun held firmly by the pistol grip, "Will probably happen whether we've been there or not."

"I'd rather we go through s**t then have nothing to do." Looking around he considred a possible course of action. "What say we set some buildings on fire?" It would be a fairly sound idea; destroy property and potentially flush out anyone in hiding or draw people to the blaze to see what happened.

Gamma nodded, bobbing his armor head. He reached out, and patted his large brother on the shoulder and stuck one finger in the air, drawing a circle. Old, old hand signals that were nearly extinct or declared useless with private comms and wireless communication between suits.

Gammu knew what it meant. And Gamma was on his way, maybe heading back to the bars to find a drink.

Nodding his armoured head he locked all his weapons onto their mounts to free up his hands. Wading around the cooling iron he swept the area for what he was looking for.

Finding many such places he would calmly walk inside, most were empty of people; but a few had a few workers and regulars. Such brutal work was deserved only for the shovel he carried with him. Crushing them beneath the composite steel tool he left a trail of broken bone fragments and gore wherever he went.

When he was done his armour was stained a dark black red shade, splatters were all over while his hands were perfectly painted it. The next act was a simple one. Destroying things as throughly as he could. Braking bottles he would pour them upon the bar and light them on fire.

Starting an effect that would eventually rage all through the area. Sweeping through the different buildings he lit a series of small fires in the stores that would rage out of control like wild fire.

Returning from this excursion he had grabbed a few bottles of vodka and scotch. "Just incase we want a drink or you need a few impromptu fire bombs."

Gamma stood for a moment and inspected the bottle of scotch. Then realized that his armor wasn't made to hold bottles.
"I should probably stay sober for this." Gamma replied with a dry chuckle. The real reason was that the danger of carrying unprotected explosives near him wasn't really worth it. He shrugged, and pitched the bottle over towards a smoking building.

Southeast, since Gamma hadn't been there yet. Moving at a walking pace.

Owle and Rage walked out of the store, side by side, surveying the destruction. The fire was, fortunately, still some distance from them.

"Rage...we should get out of here...

"And once we do...I need you to roll me..."

It's a crazy plan of Flare's, she explained, switching to telepathic communication. Creating chaos to distract others from the petals...and any chaos that might lead them to it. I can turn into a large ball of armor...and she wants you to roll me down the street.

Gregory came whizzing down the street into the shopping district. It wasn't until he came to a complete stop that he smelled smoke. Looking around for the first time, he was a scene of destruction and chaos. Whatever had happened here, he had missed it... but apparently not by much.

Dammit! Of all the bad luck! And unfortunately the damage is beyond my ability to mend as well.

He took off back the way he had come, moving straight for the void north of the church he had first passed. Whatever was going on, it wasn't happening in this part of the city yet, and he intended to find where things were still fresh.

While Rage was still thinking, Owle began walking off in some direction. She wanted to get the hell away from the fire.

It looked like everything went to hell here. Not that Marg was in a condition to notice it. The shooting pain in his leg was better now, he was running, though the frustration at the demonic hatchling was only increasing. It was just too damned fast. Seemed these things were born with super dodge speed, right out of the shell.

With one last jump, stomping down with both feet, the man had it. Completely had it. The damned thing would never die. Never. Ever. ******** demons!

In a fit of disgust, he tore his head back, screaming at the sky, waving his knife in the air, letting out all the pain and misery that little creature had caused in the past few hours.

That was when Marg has a rare, lucid moment. The demon, it was gone. Maybe it never existed. He was standing in the middle of an unfamiliar street.

Everything around him was burning, burnt, or otherwise destroyed.

There were two people standing there. In shiny little uniforms that declared them to be some sort of security force. And he was standing there, in the middle of the destruction, with a somewhat triumphant stance, screaming out like a madman.

One of them was a man, probably in his teens, from the look. He held a sword on his waist, saying he was something of a fighter. One of them curved blades that were so popular among all the kiddies. Not that Marg ever paid attention to those trends.

The other was a woman, probably a mage. She bore no weapon, but there was that strange, unearthly glow surrounding her. A white light shining, abolishing the shadows.

But that's not what Marg really noticed about the two of them. No, what he noticed was the eyes. The striking green eyes of the woman. His hands lowered from their reach to the sky, he squeezed the cat doll firmly in his hand.

They were walking towards him, saying something he couldn't hear.

"Drop the weapon," the man commanded, drawing forth his blade, moving in on the madman.

"Please surrender," the woman added, her voice neither commanding nor pleading.

But he didnt' hear that, no, all he could hear was the pounding of his heart in his chest, threatening to burst out and run amok like that little hatchling did. The wide, crazy smile returned to him, his eyes remained locked on those of the woman. He didn't move, didn't breathe. For all the world he may have been a wax figure, if not for the strange, deadly greed within his eyes....

It all happened quickly. And not at all like Marg imagined.

The man reached for his left arm. Grabbing it tight, making him drop Marfa, as he tried to restrain the man's arms behind his back. Marg watched, hearing his heart stop as the idol hit the ground, bounced, then went still.

As he reached for his other hand, that was all it took. Nerveless fingers gripped the handle of the blade tightly, regaining life and strength. He whirled around, his blade cutting in with a practiced ease. Right across the belly, cutting deep enough and long enough to watch his innards spill out.

Or at least it should have been his innards. No, instead it was... lime jello?

The green desert, with chunks of, something, in there, spilled out of the man's belly. The man was incredulous, even as he could feel the life ebbing from him. He fell in a pool of the jello, trying to stuff it back into his body, but never getting anywhere. Never stopping it. It just kept coming out, more jello spilling onto the streets than the man had right to have within him.

Soon, the guard, Marg, Marfa, were burried under a pile of the lime flavored semisolid. As he fished around for his idol, he could hear a scream, muffled by food stuff.

There was a flash of light, a sizzle, and a smack, as the woman cast her spell upon the desert pile that was once her partner's guts. But the pain never came. Marg felt nothing, could see nothing other than lime green hell.

Knife and idol in hand, he swam through the still growing pile of jello. Towards the woman, towards his target. Towards her eyes.

The jello kept pouring out, piling up, spreading, but he could made his way, slashing, clawing, swimming, eating through the gore faster than it could replenish itself.

When he finally broke the edge, covered in greenish remains, he found the woman, stunned, laying on the ground, shaking her head, holding it between her hands.

Marg moved quickly, his lean frame pounced forward, his jello stained knife held before him, a predator's fang.

He dove onto the woman, landing hard on her stomach, knocking the air out of her lungs. His knees came down, pinning her arms against the pavement. The tide of jello continued to come in, swallowing up her ankles, suffocating, and moving forward slowly.

"Elizabeth," he whispered at her, dropping the cat idol on her chest, where those beedy glass eyes watched the woman. His hand came up, taking her hair tight in his fist, holding her head still as she struggled.

His knife came in.

((Edited out because I feel too sick to describe the mutilation that would be happening))

The woman wasn't dead. Not yet. But as Marg left her, she might as well have been. She was curled up, her hands pressed against her face, red staining her face, hair, and hands.

Marg looked down, his knife put away, at the two things he had removed. Her eyes. Perfect, round, still intact. He stared at their green lenses, smiling to himself, even humming an old fishing song as he moved on, leaving the growing expanse of jello to swallow his victims and his tracks.

It would be hard to imagine the carnage inflicted, and the jello left behind by looking at the man. He was skipping down the street. Swinging a cat doll in one hand, his other curled into a fist.

Well ahead of the desert and the destruction, he turned into an abandoned shop, long cleared out in the wake of explosions, burning, and all the other chaos that was going on.

The door swung open easily into the dark supply depot. Inside, Marg rummaged around, finding a bottle of water, depositing the green eyes within the liquid to preserve it. Now with a handy vessel, he pocketed the bottle. The eyes were secured, but the man couldn't help but feel as though something was, missing.

About to leave the store, it occured to him. He rushed over to the counter, fishing about in his pockets, and leaving next to the register the coin to pay for the bottle.

"Now that's that..."

Walking outside, he had a big, friendly smile on his face, as he held Marfa up before him.

"Where are they? Where am I supposed to go?" he asked her, then looked down and around, quick to pay attention for any possible sign the goddess might supply him with.

Ask, and the goddess will supply, Marg had long ago learned. And now it was true. Looking around, he saw a strange, black shadow moving over the ground, moving towards him. A glance up, and the first words out of his mouth were...

"Oh crap."

He felt the shiver down his spine. It was a demon. The same one from before, judging by the markings. And it had grown up fast. Real fast.

It swooped down, arms spread. Marg tried to run, but was too slow before the creature's power dive. Strong, bony hands grasped his shoulders, the wings beat heavily, buffeting him with warm winds.

The earth dropped away beneath his feet.

Flying. They were freakin' flying, off to the northeast.

Marg looked down, feeling dizzy, and reteching, sending his lunch falling far below. He heard a yelp, and the man could hardly help but smile at the now vomit covered dog.

"Stupid dog..."

Then he remembered where he was. Panic took hold, he started kicking, screaming, thrashing in the grip of the demon, but it was of no use.
