"I'm sorry, but until my death, An and David are one and the same, as they always have been. You cannot fight only An, Light, only everything that I am and represent." David replied to Light, perhaps shedding a little bit of light of David's hesitation. The concept of An, not what Cruxis had demanded of An, was what David believed, and what he would defend- natural order. If that meant fighting Light, or even Cruxis for that matter, so be it.
"If you will not back down, I will fight, no matter how reluctant either of us is." He replied, giving Light the answer to the questions that must be swarming through his head. With that, David pushed off with his back leg, charging Light with a fully frontal assault. David brought his hands up in a boxing guard and through his right arm forward in a powerful straight, aimed right at Light's face. What was David thinking? He could not possibly match Light when it came to hand-to-hand combat.

Dismissing his instincts, Sera just shook his head.
"Very true. Despite that, we have work to do now. Go get Aiden.." he hesitated,
"I have some matters of...self-importance to take care of." With a wave, he dismissed both himself and Steed, and marched off to the Atrium of Arrivals, just before the insides of the Grand Doors of Salvation.
There, slumped in a pool of Nightshade on the ground, slept Morik Draven for the last time.
"Dom's work is indeed impressive, to bring this one in." Beneath Sera's mask, no grin could have been wider. Not wasting any time, he pulled a small book, no bigger than a prayer book from his vestments.
He openeding and began chanting from it,
"Luna, thy quaker of immortal men and ravager of mortal souls, cometh forth from thy current host and head thy true masters commands."
At first nothing, punctuated by Sera's distinct frustration at the apparent lack of results. But soon, the Nightshade that was Morik's blood boiled and bubble, as it pooled together in the air. The black substance formed a simple, recognizable shape : A sword, of devilish make and pale luminescence formulated itself before Sera.
Sera nodded his head. Luna, the Arch-Wolf, quivered in return. Forged in Hell, out of the very same essence that made Hell. Once Raphael's prized sword, passed to Morik, and now Sera's. Everything was rapping up nicely for Sera. He nodded his head again, and the sword evaporated into his shadow. It was only a matter of time.

Steed would only nod as he was told to retrieve Aiden. Turning and heading back out of the soulspring Steed would head to Aiden. Upon opening the door Aiden would look up at him from his prayer book.
"Lord Steed, is something wrong?"
Steed would just look upon what he had done and guilt would well up inside of him. Kikyo, forgive me for what I have done. I swear I will make it up to you. Pushing the thought from his mind Baldr would finally speak.
"Nothing at all. It's just time for you to return to a normal life Aiden."
As much as it pained him Baldr would take Aiden to Sera as commanded swearing to himself that he would cause Cruxis, and Sera, to pay for making him do this.
Upon approaching the Grand Doors of Salvation Steed would stop a few feet behind Sera.
"Have you finished what you needed to?"

"....Hum. I understand what you're saying. Someday I want to show you something. However now I just need to get past you!"
Light bounced again, immediately readying himself when David advanced. He would see just how far he would go with his two hands. Although Light had never seen David use melee tactics he would not underestimate the power to reach for your own destiny with your own two hands.
"Hmph!"
Weaving down and dangerously close to David's fist, Light would bob his upper body to the outside of David's right arm while thrusting his left palm up towards the underside of David's arm joint. Light would aim to impact the muscles of David's joint and strike at the upper rib at the same time if the attack wasn't right on target. Light would then slide his left foot forward, forcing himself to push David back as he cranked his right arm up and forward, his palm ready to strike at David's face. With that strike, his left arm would coil back and his body would twist with the strike to increase it's impact power by using more than just his arm muscles to attack. Light's breath would hiss out with each strike as his eyes widened slightly to catch David's body movements and reactions.

Sera gingerly grabbed Aiden's hand, and signaled for Steed to grab Morik's corpse.
"Wait for my signal...I am going to deal with the matters of Aiden first, then I want you to come out."
With a touch, the Doors of Salvation opened up and the crowed roared. Stepping forward, Sera urged Aiden to do the same,
"Do not worry Little One, they are all here for you. After all, today is the first day."
Stepping onto the Grand Stage, Sera waited for the millions gathered there to hush themselves. After the initial roar of the crowed, he began his oration,
"Saved Souls of Salvation, your belief in Cruxis and the Paths of Salvation has bore fruit!" He tolerated the cheers, as he always did. It wouldn't be long before it all didn't matter.
"Besides me is the newest member of our congregation, and despite his stature, no small member at that." Much against Sera's expectations, the crowd stayed quiet. Perhaps they were expecting more. He was prepared to give them more than they could ever bargain for.
"I understand your confuzzlement, for why would anyone want to congregate just to see the newest member of our vastly growing group?" He had hoped he pinned the crowds emotions right, for this part was off script for him.
"That is because he is not just any ordinary member, but the very son of the Lady Kikyo, the Lord and Ruler of Hell!" he allowed the collective gasping and denials to last a moment longer than he should have. He was risking a lot, but knew that if he could pull it off, he would have Earth on his side.
"For those who do not believe, I ask only that you ask Aiden himself. For those who do, I hope that you truly understand the magnitude of this situation. For here he is, one so young for a former immortal, capable of seeing the wrong ways of the past and changing those ways by utter devotion to the cause! " He let it sink in. Let them chew on it, swallow it, and come back for more. The more that believed, the better off Sera was.
"Of his own free will, he gave up his immortality and became one of us, one who knows the pain of death, suffering, plague, and lose. And of his own free will, he became a devout follow of the Paths of Salvation! I can only say this: LET IT RING OUT THROUGH EARTH, HEAVEN, AND HELL THAT NO ONE IS BEYOND SALVATION!"
His gamble had payed off. After a minute or two of silence, the crowd roared into applause.
"LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ANGELS AND DEMONS, EVEN ONES AS POWERFUL AS SATAN-SPAWN, CAN BE CONVERTED AND SAVED! YES, LET IT RING THAT TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF SALVATION AND THAT TODAY, THE WORLD SHALL BE PLACED INTO THE HANDS OF MORTALS AND IMMORTALS SHALL BE LEFT TO BECOME BUT DISTANT FAIRY TALES, THINGS THAT MOTHERS USE TO SCARE CHILDREN WITH!" At this point, he knew he had them, and signaled for Steed to come in.
While Steed was working his way onto the grand stage, Sera leaned over and whispered a question into Aiden's ear,
"Little one, is there anything you wish to say to the crowd?"

Aiden would hesitate for a moment looking out on everyone in the crowd, somewhat scared. He would glance up at Sera before looking back upon the crowd. Aiden had never been very well and was always sick and never got much attention, but now everyone was staring up at him. He would take a nervous gulp as he slowly opened his mouth and began to speak.
"M...My mother was never there for me, never around to help me. She was always preoccupied with my sister or my younger brother. When they disappeared I just seemed to disappear as well. Then she disappeared and everyone began to search for her, everyone except for Cruxis. They came to me, they paid attention to me. I accepted Salvation, just as the rest of you have. I am no different from any of you, not anymore."
The crowd would remain silent for a moment before letting out a roar of approval. It was obvious that they all believed that Aiden was who Sera said he was. But the attention would quickly tear away from Sera and Aiden as another figure took the stage.
While Sera and Aiden were making their speeches Steed would slowly reach down and grab hold of the belt around Morik's waist, the one object that wasn't roasted to oblivion with the rest of him by some miracle. Slowly steed would step out onto the stage just as Aiden finished speaking and the crowd would fall silent. You could hear the whispers of doubt and wondering of who this man was. Slowly Steed would move to the side of Aiden and hold up the body of Morik, though it was nothing more than an unrecognizable from all the char that was on it. Steed would remain silent for now and allow Sera the initial explanation before he would add onto it himself.

 Kestral was distracted by the lack of blood in the Tiger's body. There didn't appear to be much of anything that would be able to break him, he had just taken an enormous blow from Kestral's sword through the stomach, leg and had been somewhat blasted by his Ice energy.
While the physical wounds appeared to heal instantly, the Ice remained clung to Oni's legs. This meant Kestral would be foolish to even attempt harming him with his blade or fists. Elemental attacks were his only salvation, luckily that is exactly what Kestral specialized in.
When Oni swept in to grab Kestral's wrist, he was caught off guard and found his hand wrung in Oni's grasp. He wriggled to break free but the force of the summoner's pull was enough to sustain him. All Kestral could do was lurch his body as far from the Oni's slashing claws, which ended successfully as Oni's claw ripped into his shoulder instead of his chest. It was fortunately his free arm's shoulder, thus meaning that he could still channel energy through his blade without any pain or overbearing strain. Though, of course, the pain was quite significant.
"I see why the call you're referred to as the Invincible Summoner." Kestral said, then braced his arm against the hilt of Half Blood. He then smirked a bit as he wrapped his hand against the opposing end of the handguard, leaving the other end against Kestral's armpit.
"Let's see if you're impervious to pain... I know for a fact that what I'm about to do is one of the most intense pains a being can experience." Kestral said, then pulled up from the bottom end with his hand and pushed down with his body, breaking himself away from Oni and also twisting his massive blade within Oni's wound. Kestral looked over Oni's shoulder only to see the floodwaters surging towards them, likely to wash them away.((Basically, I got stabbed in the shoulder, my arm's still usable, and I used my sword arm to twist my blade inside your wound. Oh, and the waters are going to wash us away at the end of next turn. For the sake of the plot, let it. You'll still be able to get to Roy, so don't worry.))

 OOC: Oni and Takehitsu would be an awesome match neh? At least from the sounds of it. Two close up fighters I will guote a raw description others gave of Takehitsu *Melee Ownage*
BIC:
Takehitsu watched Kestrel Fight. The silver energy trail left within him stirred. This reminded him he still had to get that removed. It messed with his mental concentration at times. He looked around. One of the summoned creatures ran over to another warrior. Takehitsu has no energy signature and can't sense energy other than electronical devices that have taken readings from individuals. So if he has never met you he can't know you are around. The fact he wasn't in the fight is what brought this to play. Takehitsu sepped into the opening slightly. It was time for a good fight anyway. The only reason he chose a side was because Roy had been emitting signatures that he had been looking for, for a long time now. Second because he knew Kestrel well. The swords came out of his body and where placed at center to make his double sword in a graceful manner more practiced than the action of walking. He actually moved to where he could be seen unlike his usual tactics.
He was actually picking the fight which was a rarity. He would walk toward the other man who was on Oni's side. (Negi I believe the name was) The only real thing he knew was this would be an interesting combat. Oni had his eye though. He wanted to fight this man. The two having melee as their superior fighting styles, they would actually be a valued match. the question was already sprung. Would this one finally be able to show me up in a melee combat or would he fall like all thus far? Takehitsu's attention however never wavered it was upon everything around him. He did not need to see it to pay attention. The levels of training he had undergone have trained all his senses to the point where he can sense things for combative effectiveness. His steps where silent, his cloak an ominous perfect black. To those who knew him he was feared. On par with the famed Inferno, never lost and never won the two had always both gone untill they lost consciousness. They had utmost respect for one another.

I HATE YOU WITH A PASSION Roy still had a hold of her hand "No, this has nothing to do with you being a female. You are a friend of Lance, I know what it feels like to loose a friend, a close friend." He wouldn't even look at her, nor behind him leaving Lance and Kestral to deal with Oni. "By the way, who exactly are you? And wheres my mother?"
"Look, I just met that guy. He was hurt when I found him and I healed him. And since I have no particular place to go... I followed him to his Ice...Hell. I've only lost one close person in my life, and since then I've never had a close friend....ever. So...please tell me why you are taking me away from here?"
She continued to run as she got to the last question.
"I am Lillium Blaqk. I was once a human, but I sold my soul to the Devil a very long time ago when he ruled. I sold my soul to become immortal. I found witchcraft as my companion. And your mother's whereabouts are a curiosity to me, for which I do not know where and why she left."

Lance stood there looked at Oni and Kestral fighting... He then began to summon hell's ice hands as they lunged at Oni's legs glaring at Oni... "It's over for you Oni, give it up." He said as for some reason his aura grew darker...
((OOC: Salazar Rage: Lance's strength and defenses is double for a minuim of 5 post.))

Roy kept running with lillium still listening to what she had to say, but laughed as she asked why Roy was still trying to save her. "Well would you rather go back where the action is?" he asked. As she mentioned about the devil and her soul being sold a long time ago, a spark of memory hit his mind. "Kikyo..", the daughter of satan, which means Lillium may know the where about of her son Aiden.
"You won't happen to know anybody by the name of Aiden would you?"
If Aiden was still alive, Roy would do everything in his power to rescue him. Seeing as Aiden was the right heir to the throne, but he feared Cruix may have reached him first. If so Roy worried he may be too late. Cruix was making big moves now and he wasn't sure if Oni was part of them or not, as far as he knew there were only four members. Roy didn't know the fact of Morik's demise.

Lillium continued to look at him with confusion.
"Sorry, I've never met an Aiden. Why do you ask?"
She continued to run with him.

Roy and Lillium were leaving all the action behind them. "Nevermind..." replied Roy as Aiden was a top secret operation, and since Roy knew almost nothing about Lillium it wasn't safe to trust her. Roy would slide to a stop letting of Lillium. He would then kneel down and smile back at her "Ready?" with that said, before she could answer back, the ground around them would break apart. There was now a burning platform in front of them holding up some flat rocks for them to stand on.
"Lets go..." Roy said as he jumped onto his. He would then slam his Halberd into the rock, as the flames under both platforms were burning brighter as they began to spin under the platforms. This would be there transportation to Hell.

Kono smiled as he looked at Dom a look of excitement in unseeing pitch black eyes. his Blindfold was long gone now. and the look of his eyes would scare many a weaker foe, but not Dom, not Inferno.
"Ohh dear... has anyone seen Inferno's arm? it seems to have gone missing.." Kono laughed. "ohh trust me Inferno. This is far from the best that I got. You want to know. why it is i lost my sight. the space between dimensions is a place where no one should go. it takes it toll on those who dare to trespass its borders. for no amount of power can protect you from its massive influence."
Plowing his sword into the ground in front of him Kono held out his bare hand. "I was foolish, And lost my sight because of it. I wonder how you would fare with its power."
the air right beside Kono began to shimmer and weave in on itself, for those who knew of it would recognize its empty taste on their tongue. The portal that Kono Used for travel. the gateway between dimensions. Kono has learned in his many years how to control a small amount of this force that holds the dimensions separate. for it is how he traveled. and hidden himself for all these long years. reaching into the pocket it only takes a moment before he removes his hand. and the window closes. In his hand he holds a black mass. being held in this world by of shield of Kono's energy. holding it out in front of him he look at Inferno.
"dodge this."
then in a blink of an eye the ball of dimensional mass in his hand split into 10 parts. then each one hurled them selves at Inferno. Not even his mask would be able to stop these attacks without serious damage and risk of being torn apart molecule by molecule.
