Hana felt herself overwhelmed by the spell again, and this time actually jumped in the way of Shortstraw's attack and absorbed the whole of it's power so that the prince wouldn't get hit. "Although not that powerful it seems." The prince snickered to himself, hardly having to raise a finger thus far - letting them do the fighting for him. Hana's body stood there for a few moments, head drooped and arms limp, twitching every now and then as she felt the electricity pulse through her. "Lets make this a little more interesting then, shall we?" The prince grinned as he slowly raised his hand and slapped it to the floor, opening up a massive devil summoning circle, opening up a cage in which trapped the three of them there, unable to escape the 50ft radius they currently had. "Now then, Hana." He walked to her side and gently caressed his hand down the side of her body and over her hip, making her slowly straighten her body once more, although still pulsating slightly. His hand made his way back up her body and now up her neck and back to her cheek where he pulled her head back violently. Hana's eyes were vacant once more. "Y-yes... M-master..." She let out with a small weep. The prince smirked and sniffed her neck delicately. "You have such a nice scent.." He licked her cheek with his reptile like tongue. "You taste even better." He looked back to Shortstraw provocatively. "What're you going to do about it?"
Evelyn looked astonished to Ruji as they escaped to the tree once more. "Are you sure?" She frowned slightly. "It's hard to control. My... rage might get the better of me. It's a reflection of my corrupeted past, a person I no longer am. Facing it again will resurface so many old problems and anger." The beast whipped its tail around to swipe the wolf away each time it tried to attack and as it landed on the floor once more it let out a mighty roar. "ATTACK ME." It screeched, although only beasts would be able to head. "SHOW ME YOUR WRATH." Evelyn looked back to the beast with a scowl. "It wants us to attack it." The beast whipped its tail around once more and the sheer power of it knocked down the tree they hid in, sending them all to the floor.

Shortstraw landed fully ferm as the ground changed, and now the prince had Hanna. She took the blow, he figured this would have released her. He was unsure if she was faking it or not to be hoinst, she was always good at that stuff. Either way she was close to the prince, if she was herself, she should have attacked while she could. This ment it was all up to him. The old man, the human. Shortstraw shied and gave a nod, "well. I'll have to use another method is all." He tossed his scorched dagger to the side, the blade sticking to the cage. He tossed out two more daggers, just like it on the ground as well. Keria knew he was a three dagger stile user. He bent as if to blast off in full speed again. But instead of going for the prince, he went for hana. Surly, the prince would let him hurt her, it would make her weaker to resist him... right? But with the sudden change in enemy, shortstraw had another plan. If pain didn't work, then a gift he had would. Adventully, he would stab hanna in the shoulder, litarly stab it with a greenish dagger. The same in which Veria had created and given him when hew as just keria's deciple in training. He hadn't used it really, but the posion in hana would do one of two things. Kill her, or fuse with her body. He knew veria had used the posion the dagger was crafted of to control people, being hanna was her sister, it was likely there was a chance it would give hana a better sense of control in herself. Or if anything, Veria would be able to assit through hanna. But that was only if the cage wasn't around them, deflecting such activitys from the other areas. But with that small plan now in action, he released what he would have to do here in order to hurt the prince, hopefully enough to so hanna could defeat him afterwords. But shortstraw took his time, bounced around, used different attacks. Manly to buy himself time, make the man board. Lust was usless in a place of boredom. In the same sense though, shortstaw was almost to his limets. He only had a few tricks left, and those tricks may not have been his best choices. He hopped sooner or later, a big idea would come to him. Just like the day he chopped of the demons kings head...
Ruji leaped to his feet, and pulled Evelyn up quickly, spinning and suddenly he was jumping around with her on his back. Finally he was able to crouch behind a rock. He put a hand on her shoulder and looked to her, "then i'll personally help your through whatever those things are. But you have to remember, I'm weak. I can move around, and only attack through sam right now. I'm connected to each other summoned to fend off the hoards of the underworld. I need you."

Hana deflected every single one of his attacks and it was seemingly hopeless. The prince saw through Shortstraw's dagger attacks and made Hana instead put up barriers of hardened lava to deflect them. Habna knew she was helpless, she was self aware however her body wasn't hers anymore. She knew she needed to pull through otherwise this wasn't going to go anywhere. She thought back to when she used to read about demonology to possibly think about what this guys weakness could be. She knew a couple of them couldn't stand the thought of God, she wondered if this guy was the same. Yes she remembered now, this prince's weakness were things that reminded him of God. Now all she needed to do was find a way to communicate this to Shortstraw. And this was easier said than done as she was doing everything in her power to try to keep him away from the prince. She had to focus her willpower in order to get her body back. Overcome her lust somehow.
Evelyn stared at Ruji for a few moments before nodding slowly and actually smiling a small warm smile. A smile that no one had ever actually seen before, the smile another would give to their equal, a kind of passive understanding that things were going to be okay as long as they were together. "Okay. I'll try." She took his hand and squeezed it quickly before nodding again and turning to rush out into the open. "All right beasty, you wanted a fight, you're gonna get one." She announced, flinging her arms out at her sides as she faced up to the giant monster in her small human form. The beast made the ground tremble as it padded over to her and bellowed a deep laugh. "YOU'RE SO TINY." Evelyn grinned as she felt the pressure building up inside her. "Not for long." Suddenly her body started to shift as her spine cracked and her limbs grew long and spindly. Her face grew beastly and her massive jaw dripped with her special acid as it always would. Her colossal claws gripped the ground as finally she grew to her full form which was now the same size as this beast, as scaled and slimy and diseased as it always used to be. Her long thin tail whipped at her side and she growled deeply and angrily. "Now show ME your wrath." The prince was amused, and the two colossal beasts collided in a fury of teeth and claws, ripping and tearing at each other, threatening to tear the other apart in a clash of massive power.

Shortstraw had to use all he had, but hana seemed to be able to block, thanks to the prince behind her seeing his speed probably as if he was in slowmotion or something. He finally stopped with a huff and bent over. "I'm getting to old for this s**t." He stood fully firm. "But Keria isn't here this time. This is up to me. If anything the light I've experienced will guide me through this battle Mr Prince. Even if it's the last thing I do." He glared at hana, "forgive me. And more importantly remember that this isn't your fult. Never was, but I knew I would fall here." He reached for his bow, He fired aimlessly into the air, and as hana was to either dodge or reflect them from the prince, Shortstraw used every ounce of power he had and went straight forword. The fastest he had ever gone, the lightning consumed him, "GOD GIVE ME STRIEGHT!" He yelled knowing Hana would be forced to stop his uncoming attack, and he would have to go through her defence. At such a speed he could not be stopped by molten lava, or even a mountain if it were there. He was a bullet, a final bullet, and he was aiming to drive himself deep into the prince with a belief that afterwords, he would finally meet the god he belived in after Keria was givein back to him. Hana didn't need to tell him anything, his belief would be more then enough. Because with that blow, hopefully straight into the prince himself, Shortstraw felt like god was with him. Just as he was for Keria now and in the end. He did this for her. For him. For hana to be free. It happened in an instant, and the light around shortstraw was blinding. Pure white lightning. A flash and it would be over, hopefully.
Meanwhile Ruji stood on the rock now and actually smiled for the first time, a real smile. This was the true Evelyn, his friends true form. And to see her, lash out to face a Prince of the Underworld... one of the reasons of her being. To him it's was butiful no matter what Evelyn looked like in this form. Ruji really loved the abilty of life. How the world worked, how life always found a way. Here he was reminded that, and he watched for a while before snapping out of it, and using Sam to go for attacks at the beasts legs to make him stumble, so that Evelyn would overpower him.

Hana was struck and so was the prince. This was something the prince didn't expect. The light blinded him, his eyes festered and bubbled up and so were rendered useless. He fell back onto the floor and twitched silently in pain. Hana fell back secondly and was instantly unconscious, but not fatally wounded as the prince was. She'd used too much of her newly developed power in a short space of time and she was going to take the toll for that. Now though she couldn't even be awake for what was to happen next. The first of the seven princes had perished, Asmodeus, the prince of lust had fallen. And as the life left his lungs his body disintegrated into the ground and a shadow that reminded slunk into the wilderness back to its master. The barrier was removed and Hana and Shortstraw remained there.
The two beasts stumbled to a halt for one moment as they both stood trembling and panting heavily, trying to get a little strength back as they eyed each other cautiously. "YOU'VE BECOME A WARRIOR. YOUR ANGER HAS BEEN REPRESSED FOR TIMES LIKE THESE." Evelyn snickered and spat out a little acid at him. "Does it disappoint you?" They lashed at each other a couple of times more before both skidding to the side again to catch their breath. "YOU'RE NOT THE DEMON I MADE YOU TO BE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FULL OF WRATH." It was finally shown then that this was the prince that had took Evelyn's human soul and made her into a demon all those hundreds of years ago, like a battle between student and master. "I've become a better person!" She screeched, pouncing onto the beasts back and sinking her jaws into the back of its neck like a clamp. The beast screamed and whipped its body around to try and get her off but she wasn't letting up.

Shortstraws body was laying on the ground motionless, face down. Most of his clothing was almost gone, luckily his pants however were ripped from the knees down mostly. There was blood everwhere. His body had torn itself apeart. His gaze was gone. He was dead. But he himself could see somthing. He was in a white place, with nothing all around. There was a glowing figure, that blinded him. He wasn't on earth anymore. He wasn't inside his countrous or soul. Before him the light spoke, "You have been through many things in your short lifetime. Had the gift of outliving any other mortal man. This day, you had not fought just for me, but for the earth. For the living, despite your loved ones. You chose that darkness had to be stopped, and in your time your givin your own soul away freely without urging for anything back or in return. Even the currupt you had givin a peaice of youself." Shortstraw gave a nod, "I understood things diffrently then most seen it. Life wasn't about wha tyou could get. Or how you felt. It wasn't about your place in the world. It's about your chance, your choice, and useing what you feel is right, wether wrong is somthing entirely diffrent to someone else." The god like figure smiled and gave a nod, "one thing Theador Emitt Calvery that you have dispite all your have faced and seen, and all that i have already mentioned. Is your Innocences. Therefor your path does not end here but verge to somthing greater in purpose. You fought beside you loved one, for belife of me. But your innocence of it all is stonger then any other angel i have seen. So for now on you will station under command of the Arch Angel of time herself. Not as a lover. Not as single man, but as the Angel of Innocence!" Shortstraw suddenly snapped out of the white place, life returned to his eyes. His heart started to beat again. He felt different, his wounds healed as if magic. His arms pushed him up, and he struggled at first, but came to a stand. as he head, two large white wings appeared on his back and spread out aginst his will. He had past his test, he was an angel now. The angel of Innocence. He looked to Hana and stepped to her, crouching slowly to pick her up in his arms. She was a victum, but she was okay. There task was over, it was time to return to the place theador and Evelin were waiting for there return. The town that waited for news. The first Prince was no more.
Meanwhile Ruji lisened carfully. It wasn't about power. It was stronger, deeper then that. He wondered however what could have changed that truly in Evelyn. What had she seen, been showed? And who had shown her this path, because looking at the beast, he could tell it was a lot different then she was supposet to be. He called Sam to himself. This wasn't his fight at all now. He would use sam incase the prince got desperate and went to use ruji aginst her. he wouldn't make the mistake, and he belived evelyn would win this.

Evelyn eventually after much endurance was flung off the beasts body and into a crumbling building. It took a few seconds but she was able to bring herself back up out of the rubble and she hissed at her opponent. The beast snickered and flexed its mighty muscles. "YOUR ANGER WAS YOUR POWER. NOW YOU HAVE NOTHING. YOU ARE NOTHING." This hit Evelyn deep. One of her greatest fears was that she would become insignificant again, just as she had died old and alone in her human life. "You don't know s**t. I will never be nothing again." She hissed once more, spitting out some more acid to the side. "WHAT MAKES ME STRONG IS HAVING PEOPLE TO PROTECT. I WILL BECOME STRONGER SO THAT I CAN PROTECT THEM. NOT BECAUSE I AM ANGRY AT THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT DID TO ME." She pounced for one last strike at the prince, latching onto his throat with her powerful jaws and pinning him to the ground, gnawing and tearing uncontrollably as her pupils dilated, the acid growing in concentration, her claws growing sharper...
As Shortstraw picked up Hana a shadowed character watched from a crumbing building in amusement with his head in his hands. "One down, six to go." He chanted almost happily as he tilted his head. "This place is becoming a little too full of angels, it's making me a little uncomfortable." He sighed, walking over to the remains of the battle and taking up a little of the devil dust in his hands. "A shame really."

*Ruji Watched as Evelyn finished off the Prince, but now she was being more beastly. Was this that anger? Or was this a sign that she won, and now her power had grown even more then before. He wasn't sure. But Ruji suddenly leaped closer, "Well done Evelyn. Perhaps next time I might be able to Ride upon your shoulder." He smiled once again. Hopefully she wouldn't get too used to that. Sam however warned Ruji of the acid. It could hurt him, badly. He agreed and back up alittle bit, "but our task is still not yet over. It's high time I finally get to do my part, once again I'm hopeing your assit me." He turned, there were helspawn coming up from the ground, and there were spirtal warriors, almost see through, battleing the devils. "We must close the way the devils come from to better give this world the chance it needs!" He replied pointing, hopeing she could still hear him, now that she was so big, he realized he probably sounded so faint and punny now to her.
Meanwhile the cloaked man rushed quickly through the halls of the castle, one of the tower crumbled through the hall behind him. Another qake it seemed. He found himself step out into the open area where the castle once was, but was now just rubble. "Damn. Cleaning all this up laters going to be a pain in the a**." He replied bending down to pick up a cracked peice of stone.

The second prince was defeated and Evelyn stood over its corpse for a moment before consuming its soul in her massive jaws. The body sunk into the ground just like the last prince and the shadow that remained headed in the same direction as the other one. Evelyn sighed. "That took a lot." she nodded to Ruji. "You're right, we need to carry on." She wiped her beastly mouth of blood. "lets get to it boss."
The new man stood to see another guy enter the field. "So this is who I'm paired with." He sighed. "God have faith in me." he chanted before casually walking over to Fu with his hands in his pockets. This guy looked to be middle aged, about Mordekai's age if that was ever sure. However he had short white hair and cheeky expression, like you just knew he'd stolen the cookies. He wore a long red coat, similar to that of Dante's, and had his sleeves rolled up. His eyes shone a brilliant turquoise - unnatural for sure. "Now what brings you to these charred remains may I ask?" He asked Fu with a tilt of his head.

*Fu rose a brow, "I live here." He tossed the rock aside, "what you talking about being paired with? Im here to guard the countrys s**t under order of the Yokai Queen herself." He crossed his arms, "so who are you and what business do you have?" Frankly, Fu had no idea what was coming, he never pictured himself going into any large super battles anymore. Hell for a while he would even look for one or two on his spare time. He loved to spar, he missed teaching in his dojo. But enough of his mind wondering. Back to the moment as he looked the man up and down, "if your from Russia..." he begain.
Meanwhile as Ruji and apparently super Evelyn went to stop the devils for advancing, the story shifts to Train as he was stepping away from the protected city, his family safely inside. He had his back to the large city, his mind set forword. One hand remained in his pocket, the other at his side with his gun, Haties ready to fire. He be damned, he misses out this time. Eve would want him to finally do something, face hell when it came at him. He was a father, and he felt he had to do this. He had to face anything he could find, take as many out as possible for the sake of his new life and newborn. He watched the anchants fall, he wasn't going to see this world do the same.

The man snickered and shook his head. "Wipe that worried expression off your face, I'm no Russian." He paced around Fu patronisingly. "My name is Vergil. I'm from a kingdom far to the east." As was shown through his brown skin. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm new around these parts, although now doesn't seem like the best time to be a tourist, does it? Impending doom sure has a downer on your tourism income." He leaned forward with a grin. "We've been paired together to fight a prince of sin, don't you know. The prince of envy to be more specific. I've researched this for years, and you and I have been given the honor of being able to fight to the death with one of the princes of the underworld. Doesn't that sound exciting?"
"Funny to see someone like you here." Kyle called out to Train from around the dark corner of a building. "No one is supposed to be in this section of town. This is no mere act of coincidence. We were brought together for something." His expression hardened as he walked out into the light. "You and I are going to face a strong enemy for sure." His expression lightened as he suddenly let out a small almost forced chuckle. "Sorry, that's not really any way for me to talk to my distant uncle."

Fu glared, "sounds like I'm in trouble." He replied as he shied it off, "come on. What would the Prince's want with me anyways. I mean I'm just an old ninja guy, nothing really." He watched the man carfully however, "I dought I can even scratch the guy... if it's a guy. I wont attack a women. It's unhonrable." He smirked, even if it wasn't seen, "so whats your story anways. Why you?"
Train's eye were hidden by the wild hairline above his face. "Distant Uncle?" He leaned, "I dought that even counts. I'm not just another person in the bloodline, I'm a personality that took a form." He smirked however, "but I guess whatever floats everyones boat, will keep it afloat hmm?" He took a stance and gazed around, "I don't have a boat that floats your see. Mine was made out of cardboard. I feel led here indeed. I was going to stay with cat, but for some reason I felt they were handled on there own. Call it... a cats intuition I guess."

Vergil sighed as he shoved his hands into his deep coat pockets. "You don't need to know that. We can just be satisfied with the fact that I tie into Dante's fate a hell of a lot in the near future." He looked away with a grin. "However what you mentioned about not attacking women may cause problems in the future." He raised an eyebrow. "Two princes have already been taken down, and one of them showed to be able to shapeshift. We don't want to be fooled. Hell, for all you know I could be the prince." He shut one eye and stuck out his tongue. "But I'm not. Rest assured." He snickered. This guy was a weird one.
Kyle seemed skeptical however as he eyed Train carefully. "Cats intuition, eh." He sighed, looking to the floor. "Well you've probably landed yourself into more trouble and landed them out of trouble, although I can't say that's a good thing." He shrugged. "We all have people we want to protect in times like these." He nodded. "It's difficult to know what's the right choice. I can sense something terrible coming though, and I don't like it."

Train nodded, "think it's one of them?" He pulsed and looked further out. "One of the princes? Cuse I always pictured myself facing one... well a long time ago. I've had nightmars over things like that aswell. And it only makes sense." He held up his pistol, "But I wont be able to bring too much to the table. I've got speed no on can match. I have percistion aiming, and Aura Abilitys. The rest lies into my acrobatics, and the gun's unbreakable matrail. Other then that, your have to supply all the tricks." It's like he already knew the answer before asking it, like he knew this was coming. Was this one of those strange dreams he had a night or so ago? Yes. Yes it was. And he would have to win, and make it out alive. For three reasons. His new child. For Eve. And Finally to finally test himself for what he had done. His most tarrable choice he had ever made...
Fu rose a brow, "part of Donte huh. Vergil... you knew keria when she was a queen. I remember your name... don't think i'll put trust in you however. Real you or not." He turned away, "I don't like people anymore of any kind." He looked around, "this thing suppost to come to us? Or are we suppost to find it." He looked back over his shoulder at him, "Cuse I rather it not be here at the building. It's had enough trouble standing. Lots of personal possessions I have to protect and all~"

Vergil laughed. "Trust me? I never asked you to trust me. We dont have to trust each other to take this guy down." He grinned from ear to ear as he walked away. "Although the real question is, we're up against the prince of envy. Who's sin do you think that is exactly, yours, or mine? Or even a bit of both?" He looked back to Fu with a smirk and carried on. "Com'on big guy, we're sniffing this rat out of his hole."
Kyle smiled weakly. "You don't have enough faith in yourself. I was watching Hana and Shortstraw's fight with their prince. Shortstraw ended up doing all the slaying, ironically. And he's merely a human. He thought himself to be too weak to help. But Hana was rendered useless and he had to step up." Kyle scratched the back of his neck. "Power can come from some of the most unlikely of places sometimes." Suddenly their conversation was broken by a high pitched scream that made Kyle's eyes open dramatically. "I know that voice." He said in a rushed tone. "EVELIN." Suddenly Kyle was gone, running in the other direction towards the scream without a second thought.
