Draega merely let out a disappointed breath and released her hold upon the sword. "Fool.." she muttered as she did, taking a couple steps away and glaring at him with a look of both resentment and prideful fury. Although she may not have been thankful of the traits she inherited from her family. The one that she never acknowledged but remained all the same, was her pride. It made releasing the sword hard to do, made giving up anything that was hers through sentimental means as hard as cutting off her own arm, and she resented this man for it. Still she could see his connection with Kain and so could not bring herself to hate him. However, her pride still burned.
"I would like to say that this was the worst family reunion I've ever experienced.....however.....I would be lying. After all...at my last reunion...my wings were slowly burned to their stems and then regrown." She smiled then, though it seemed cynical in nature, in her heart she meant it, it was simply the circumstances of their meeting that made it seem harsh and unwelcoming. "It was a pleasure to meet you.....brother." Draega said, taking one movement to dip into a sweeping bow. Then she raised her head up and smiled playfully. "Now. As it seems your business with us is finished. Would you mind staying for tea?" She asked with a chuckle.
To Kain she sent a merely a couple of questions as well as a reassurance. 'Are you in any pain? Should I sent for one of our medics? Also...what sort of food should I offer him? I think it might be good to....reconnect as a family. Though it does seem you have your sibling issues.' She giggled aloud and stood from her bow, extending a hand, as if in welcome. "Surely there is no reason you cannot stay and share moments at a table with me. Other than you obvious dislike of my...decisions. "

He'd grasp the sword firmly and chuckle a bit, more or less amused with the whole situation now that it was done with. He'd tuck the sword between himself and his black leather belt and place a bit of a psychic barrier over it that'd magnetize it, so to say, to his body. He'd begin to slowly make his way for the door, offering them a bit of of a wave as he began to leave.
Kain, on the other hand, would slowly move off of the psionic nails once the boy turned his back on him. He'd look to Draega with a sick grin before tackling Setsumei to the floor. Yes, his wounds hurt like hell, as did his pride, but it was no doubt this pain that gave him the strength to get out of his bind. He knew for a damn fact he'd of just turned right around and hurt Draga somehow, if not kill them both. He didn't quite realize it at the time, but in tackling Setsumei he'd broken through the little b*****d's barrier, something that left a horrified look of terror on the boys face. Once the boy was pinned by Kain's waist, he'd proceed in beating the ever-living s**t out of him while talking to his love.
"This little fairy ******** is not my brother, he's just the ********' wall that separates me n' my youngest brother! Easy to confuse them; they both ramble on about a God that's FORSAKEN THEM! This one's special, though. He claims to be Holy, but in the end he's more of a damned Devil than anyone I've ever MET!" Each word shouted (capitalized) would emphasize a punch with more force than he'd ever mustered before. "and he sure as hell ain't the middle child in my family 'cause he's too damn SMART and MANIPULATIVE and EVIL. He also lacks and Irish accent..." Snapping back in to the world of the sane for a moment, he'd send out a little signal to his younger brother that he needed to get his a** in here. Kain would then sit up, breathing heavily, looking at the bloody mess that was the kid's head. "He's no angel. He's a ********' mutated fairy that thinks he's God's messenger."
Ishado would arrive as prompted, though he was kind enough to use the door. He'd look to his brother straddling a little boy, which was about as wrong as it got...though once he realized the boy as Setsumei and his head looked like mashed potatoes died red, everything made sense. Except the girl; hell was her point? He'd been listening in a bit on the way in, but still wasn't aware of the sword situation. He'd run his hands through his long, wild crimson locks and slowly approach Setsumei...and kick at his head a little. The areas broken open made a squish noise, and it amused him.
"Think he's tenderized 'nough; ya gonna eat em' or leave em' for tha wolves? A' know the wolves would love a bite at em'!" He'd look to his brother with a mischievous grin, then look to the random woman. "I'm gonna take a shot n' tha dark 'ere n' guess yer the new Lady a' the castle! I'm this ragin' retard's brother. Ishado." Introductions weren't his thing, proven as he'd pick something out of his long, pointed ear rather than extend his hand, bow or even wave.
"Ishado, shut the hell up. Yeah, she's MY Lady. Mine. So be nice to her n' show some damn manners!" He'd bat his brother's leg away, feeling rather queasy given the squishy noises. He'd indeed beat Setsumei to a pulp, but he was still alive. He'd summon two metal orbs, a signature weapon yet to be used and force them to turn in to what would look like giant tacks. He'd heal Setsumei's head a bit, enough or his temples to be in tact, and shove the pointed ends of these 'tacks' in to his temples. They'd then form a complete helmet over the boy's head, creating gaps in the new metal mask for his eyes, nose, mouth and small little holes for his ears. The temples were the key to shutting off the kid's psychic powers; they put him in too much pain to be able to concentrate. Even a slight bit of pressure would turn his temples in to the ultimate pressure points. Setsumei, who'd fallen unconscious once Kain officially stopped beating on him, was now regaining consciousness, and didn't want to. He was keeping from screaming, though he was still whimpering like a child.
"Ishado...this lil' fairy child told me he's got Hiro working for him. Good news is obviously he's still out there, but the bad news...well, that's self-explanatory. I figured I'd allow you to do the interrogating." He'd then get up off of Setsumei and slink over to Draega. He'd wasted most of his energy on that beating, thus he was regenerating very, very slowly. "Just make sure NOT to kill him...I still need the fairy to show me who he's working for." Finally, he'd stand before Draega and answer her. "Nah, I'm fine. No worries!"
Ishado would arch a thick crimson brow as Kain explained the situation with their little brother...and his peaceful smile would fade. Quickly. Instead, emotion would become void on his face and his emerald hues would light up with hate. He'd pick up Setsumei, turn the boy around, and slam him face first against the wall Kain bled all over. Using a single claw he'd very slowly cut open a small section of skin to the right of the boys spine. Three small muscle not seen in many other beings would be seen; these small muscles triggered the release of his wings. He'd then stick his claw in to one of the muscles and slowly turn his claw in circles, thus causing Setsumei to scream.
"Ya tell me somethin' like that n' expect me ta let em' live? N' ya say I'm the dumb one!" He'd sigh, a bit more content now that Setsumei was screaming, which was thankfully dulled a bit by the metal mask. "Sure, ya, fine. By the way, there's some ******** up lil' b*****d down n' Holle that was all rambly about Death n' the such. Some fiery kid n' his girly-girl are playin' with em'." He'd shrug, then remove his claw and heal the wound in the muscles he'd made...only to repeat the process all over again.
Kain, now missing a few pints of life would try to think. Sadly, it was not only hard, but it actually hurt. He'd rub his head, then look to his beloved. "Didn't Riot have some flunky named Death? Combination of Rampage n' Chaos...somethin' like that...I dunno." He'd fall back on to a black leather loveseat he kept in the corner and watch his brother torture the kid. "If it is the same little guy I'm thinking of, that means Riot's involved...which would essentially explain everything. That's only if I'm right on the names, though..." He'd then look to Draega to either reassure or correct him.

Micah landed hard into Deaths chest and smiled. His body was still freaking out but.... Micah suddendly dropped to the floor. On his knees he began to lurch and scream. The injector hung out of his shoulder like a flag. Death only laid in the corner, his chest smashed. He was lucky to be alive. Micah situation was a little more crucial. His eyes started to glow a sick pinkish red. He had dropped to both knees and wheezed for breath but nothing but smoke came out of him. His hands glowed red hot and burned through the floor beneath them. Micah screamed in pain, all his cells felt as is they were on fire. Which for him was a changes, the inside of his body was not fire proof. His stomach felt like it was full of lava. He fell to the floor his cloths burning off of him in a black and red flame. His body became a larger source of light then the furnaces around them.
Death roused from his knockout and felt his ribs; they were crushed. Death slowly reached around his side and pulled out a nanineedle and injected himself roughly. Instantly a warm crawl covered his ribs, he could feel them ripping and re searing tissue and organs to get to his bones. Suddenly his chest began to move and the bones reset themselvs, as he began to stand sicking cracks came from him. His eyes finally over came the screaming pain in his mind and opened. He saw Micah changing and knew now was the time to leave. He'd let micah help Setsumei, when he finally woke up the pain driving him would lead him straight to Kain.

Draega had frozen, not out of fear or shock, but purely for the sake of avoiding the rush of power that poured not only from Kain but from the broken barrier the boy had erected. As Kain beat him Draega simply cocked her head to the side and turned thoughtful, "Ah...you spoke of your brother arriving. And you did call him an idiot so I assumed..." she shrugged, "...my bad."
Then Draega's head had instantly shot upwards at the sound of impending footsteps. Though she relaxed the second he spoke to Kain in his easy tone and introduced himself in his...interesting...way. She chuckled at Ishado's antics and then opened her arms as Kain came to stand before her. She hugged him before releasing him once more as Ishado picked Setsumei and proceeded to torture him. She winced slightly at the screaming and shifted uncomfortably, though she gave Kain her full attention when he addressed her again. She thought for a moment and then shook her head as if unsure. "I am...not as familiar with this 'Death' character." She thought for a moment though and then nodded as if coming to a conclusion. "Mmm I would say you are correct though."
Then, once more, as when Ishado had come hurrying down the hall, Draega's head shot upwards, her pointed ears perking up like a cat's would at the sound of an approaching dog. She paused for a moment before she frowned and took a step toward Ishado, placing a hand on his shoulder. She smiled pleasantly at him and addressed him easily though her ears continued to move and twitch, as if they could not help but listen in on something else entirely. "It's a pleasure meeting you. And I do truly hate to leave you and Kain alone....especially with Kain in this state." she added, turning to send Kain a worried sort of smile though it lasted only a moment before she turned her red eyes to Ishado once more. "...however it seems that an old friend is burning alive. And his opponent seems to be heading in our direction. If you would please excuse me." She released Ishado's shoulder and turned a small worried smile to Kain once more. "Do me a favor and rest...it's about time I protect you for a change." she said simply. She walked over and kissed him on the forehead gently, before she drifted through the floor as if she were slowly sinking into a pool of water.

"Burning alive?" He'd arch a brow, though it wouldn't take long to figure out Death had won and Micah had screwed up, though he could hardly blame the poor kid given his lack of discipline. He'd still let out a heavy sigh and feel one of his wounds, damn near screaming when his fingers accidentally slipped inside of the wound. He didn't want, nor would he leave Draega alone to fight...anything. It just wasn't right. He'd slowly make his way to his feet, limping as he moved towards his brother. He'd remove his upper apparel, letting the world see his rendered flesh.
"Setsumei...I know you're workin' for that little traitor. I know he wants Murasame, and I know he's using you to keep me from helping Micah. Furthermore..." He'd grin and look to Setsumei with the same violet orbs with scarlet rings Setsumei had displayed for him, though his rings spun in the forms of pentagrams. "...I know that Riot's the new head of Huxley, and I know the twerp's name is Jonas Yurich. I also know that when the Vatican met it's end, you immediately sought out my brother and took him under your wing, moving him to a twisted celestial dimension. I know he's bound there, waiting for you to release him...and I know you warped his mind just like those Cardinal ********!" He'd place his hand on Ishado's should for support as his eyes reverted back to normal and begin to laugh. "You're not such hot s**t without your psychic powers, are you Angel? Let em' go, Ishado. Let em' return to the kid as a failure; let Riot see I'm still the dominant force in this world." Of course, his arrogant speech would end with the barfing of blood...
He'd drop the boy, in which he'd actually throw the boy across the room in to a corner. He'd lift his big brother up on to his shoulder and shake his head, moving him back to the couch where he could keep an eye on the kid, who was now officially broken, and help his brother.
"Ya feel better? Ya made yer speech n' proved ta us yer still all nifty with yer crazy a** eyes n' the such n' ended up pukin' blood all over yer pretty floor. Sure the Lady will appreciate that one! Nah, ya can be tha one ta tell 'er ya went all head-trip dramatic n' forced yerself ta LEEK! Can't be normal fer two ********' seconds...sure I ain't tha smart one!?" Knowing that Kain knew where Hiro was put his mind at ease. Sure, the two were destined to kill one another or so he swore, but he knew Kain would do everything in his power to get their little brother's mind back in tact before their big finale.
"Look, it's probably my fault that yer friend's gone n' ******** right on up, n' I know ya sure as s**t dun' want yer Lady goin' in ta this without someone ta put out the flames n' pound Death-Boy stupid, but she's right. Ya need ta rest. Loose anymore goo n' yer gone. This world's confusin' ta no end ta me, but a' still know right from wrong n' I still know doomed from down." He'd sigh, then use a bit of the stored momentum in his right wrist to deliver a chop to the back of Kain's neck, knocking him flat out. "Not givin' ya a choice this time." He'd pick his brother up and lay him on his bed, and make sure to bandage him as best he could using one of their sheets. He'd also cauterize Kain's wounds, hoping to stop the bleeding.
He'd finally create an aura of heat around his feet, allowing him to burn right through the floor to make sure he could catch up in plenty of time. At this point, he'd finally put his lycan traits to use and make sure to keep a lock on Draega's scent, making sure to follow it wherever it went. He'd also make sure to keep his hearing at maximum, which hurt like hell at times. "Glad ta see this world's as plagued with overpowered ******** as every other..."
He was broken. Kain breaking free from his shards was hard to believe...feeling the force of his shield break was incomprehensible. The beating he received from Kain...that wasn't hard to believe; if he could break that barrier he could sure as hell crack skulls, but doing so while in critical health...unconceivable. Remembering so long back to when his first true lady of the castle taught him about those pressure points...he never thought Kain would hang on to such a lesson, much less have a weapon designed for the purpose of keeping him in a panicked state. Ishado knowing there were muscles in his back regardless of his origin baffled the hell out of him, and his knowledge of how to heal them so quickly only to destroy them again made him ill. But out of everything, what he couldn't believe, no matter how hard, even though he'd seen, or rather heard and felt it done; what he REFUSED to believe was the fact that someone read his mind. He didn't even care about the pain in his head anymore. He didn't care about a damn thing because he refused to believe he was still in any state of reality. He hadn't blinked since Kain spoke Yurich's name. Instead, his eyes were wide open but they saw nothing.
A great deal of time would pass until his eyes came to focus. The pain in his back and in his head rendered him mute, and he still refused to believe things were as they seemed. He'd slowly raise his hands to the iron mask about his head, though upon placing his hands on the helmet they'd be met with long spikes that'd impale his hands through several places. Once the spikes went through, they'd form a hook at the tip and draw back in to Setsumei's hands, pinning them to the helmet. He wanted to scream in agony, but only a soft whimper emerged. Soon, he even felt more spikes impale his head. The back of his neck, right beneath his skull was now filled, along with with a spike right above each eyebrow. One long bar stretched from one side of the mask to the other through his cheeks, and another shot up in to his chin. He'd never imagined such pain could exist, which only fueled his ignorance, a deadly ignorance that was allowing him too much movement. By refusing to feel this pain, he was catching a second wind. He'd slowly make his way to his feet and force his remaining five wings out. His top pair remained the same, shielding his face. His middle pair had become a single wing spread out. The bottom pair remained unharmed as well, folding in over his feet. His missing wing would form, though it'd be quite the site. Blood would spew forth from his back and coagulate in to another wing spread out, dripping more blood on to the floor. He'd use his last bit of energy to vanish once more, leaving behind an awkward red feather.

Maya froze in absollute horror, she had a bit of a clue on what was going on, knowing that lady Dreaga knew a little more about Micah then she, she would allow her barbed wire to consume her. She'd manifest herself in front of the lady, her golden hues wide as she spoke.
"My Lady help! Micah... he's.....OH God!"
She'd dropped to her knees infront of Dreaga and wept, something Maya hasn't done in so long, she'd tried to gather herself as she looked up at Dreaga with blood stained tears dripping from those gold pools.
"Please....I -I can't loose him! There has to be something we can do!"

Micah screamed one last time, but his vocal cords made the horrid sound of burning. His voice could not be heard instead it just sounded like the roar of a wild fire. The burning sensation did not lessen as the minutes went by, not it increased as the lava like goo that filled his stomach reached into his heart and forced it to pump. He could feel his veins burning as his blood boiled and hissed. Steam began to emit from his pours (wonder how thats spelled) as the water in his body depleted. Nothing in his life had compared to this; he felt as if god were punishing him for all the things he had ever done. He saw the faces of anyone he had ever killed with his powers and felt their pain transfered into his heart. It made his mind scream and plea for help from anyone.
As if an answer to his prayers the pain stopped and his body returned to normal. Micah stood up in a weak daze doing nothing. Then it started all over again, the fire hit his body in waves as it tried to find something else to burn. Micah tried to summon a large fireball but nothing happened expect his hands came alive with fire so intense the skin on his hands burned. He fell back and landed in a furnace. The fire inside of it almost felt soothing compared to the fires inside his body. Micah gave up thinking and let his mind turn to instinct.
The fire in his body had just turned to embers, feeding on spots that the orginal wave did not get. These little embers made Micah's eyes shoot open and look around wildly. Then he was up moving towards the hallway that lead away from the lab.

Look at that, he was all s'plody like! The thought of he first successful human nuke kinda impressed him...but, the pretty fire would burn that thought out of his mind. Whether or not he'd beat Draega down here or not, he managed to heat too much of the floor and come plummeting down in to the halls of the lab. Yup, he was an awesome hero. Even better drunk! He'd stare at Micah, wondering if every time this poor kid got his powers under control come neo-nun his him with a ruler until he was unstable again or something. He'd shake his head and look to the massive iron doors Micah was headed for, which made him grin. He'd put his right index finger and thumb to his lips and blow, creating a high-pitched whistle. In turn, he'd summon beside him the still invisible, untraceable Tedd! Ishado really hoped Tedd was there, because if not, he'd ruin any chance now he had of not looking stupid!
And now, like a God-fearing child praying after something horrible has happened..."Uhh...err, Tedd, if yer there ma friend, I need ya ta siphon a bit a' tha boy's fire in ta...I dunno, yerself? Think Kain would appreciate it, n' I know the Lady a' the Castle would! ...Amen?" He was talking to an unseen force with powers beyond comprehension. Mine as well talk to it like so.
Freed from Setsumei's psychic grip, Tedd had managed to...take a nap. Though, the high-pitched whistle had him awake and alert, at Ishado's side. He'd take in every word, then move towards Micah. The more heat he'd endure, the more power he'd gain, enabling him to withstand any temperature Micah could toss his way. All of Tedd's power lied in his ability to instantly fuse with his surroundings and draw out their power.
He'd shed the barriers about himself, revealing his twelve foot form that was currently stalking about the ground towards Micah. To put it in incorrect but comprehendable terms, the creature looked like a massive xenomorph (Alien) with armoring. It's features about it's claws, backbone and tail more resembled those of western dragons in their shape, size and design. A bit of armor covered the creature made from not a single metal, but every metal it'd ever come in to contact compacted and fused. This was the metal Kain used for his own weapons and armor. Eyes could not be seen on the creature, but they were indeed there in the form of dim red lights glowing beneath two 'plates' about it's head. It's mouth looked more like that of a great white, if this said great white had a prefect row of sharp teeth and perfectly proportioned lips instead of a mess of a mouth.
Standing only a few feet from Micah, several holes would open along the creature's back, reverting all of Micah's heat in to the steam that powered the lab. It's read up on to it's hind legs, and with a few snaps and creaks, it's arms would go from hinge-only legs to actual semi-ball and socket arms complete with opposable claw. A massive hole would open in the creature's chest, and like a black hole it'd suck in everything within a damn good radius. unlike a black hole, Tedd could focus on what he was taking in. He'd targeted a couple of things in Micah: First was the chemical within him causing him to go off course, the chemical used by death. It'd be a slow and painful process; he was ripping it from Micah's pours. While his chest took in what made him wrong, the beast would open it's massive jowls and once more begin an intake process, this time targeting Micah's energy period. This energy would be a compilation of Micah's actual energy that was keeping him up and moving, as well as a good deal of the pyrokinetic energy flowing through him. Again, a painless process and hopefully a rather rewarding one to poor Micah, but very long. Even the Beast has it's limits.
And where did all of this energy go; where did the negative chemicals go? Tedd was taking them in, filtering them through his body. He was fusing the energy with his own, giving him newfound firepowers just like his brother. The chemical was being extracted in to the tip of his tail which would drip in to a nearby vial for them to look at later. Knowing Kain, he could no doubt find a way to reverse the effects...yeah right. He'd turn it in to a weapon.

Draega paused in the hallway she had been about to flow through when Maya appeared before her. The black lady floated upon the air for a few seconds, her wings holding her aloft before she landed upon the floor softly and went to the girl's side. She gently placed a hand on both of the girl's shoulders and brought her back up to her feet, smiling gently. "Do not worry. Remember where you are. Everything and ...well... nearly everyone here are for the same cause. If there were any place in the world that could help Micah recover best it would be this place. I will do all I can to save him." She paused however, her ears picking up on something down below in the lab. After a moment of listening she let out a relieved sigh. Then she turned back to Maya and gave her a reassuring smile. "Micah will be alright. He is already being seen to. I, however, must deal with this...Death who has dared to not only invade my home but harm a good friend."
