the story

[Bloody Rosen Knight]

His eye twitched in annoyance before he punched Ceci on the top of her head, calling her, "Idiot." with a slight growl for even offering her 'assistance'. He didn't need help, especially from some fallen girl rubbing up against him. His eyes flicked back over to Bell as she reacted to his question, watching her grab the cross around her neck with no outward responce to such an odd thing from a being like him.

Their words were mild compared to the memories he saw in Bell's mind. His hands clenched tight enough to draw blood, the pain registering dully in his mind. his heart dropping at the image of her being thrown into a shed before the image cut out. Von began to bare his teeth at the thought that the very kids that did that were running around him without a care in the world but he couldnt do anything about it as it would hurt her.

"I need some fresh air" Von said as he turned to the door and proceeded out to the cool noontime air. Von watched the sky as it filled with clouds as if he was doing it, or perhaps nature just felt his pain. Just then, the ground began to rumble, Von looked around and felt the rumble deepen as if it was coming form the core of the planet itself.

"What the fu-" he started to say before a giant explosion in the power plant nearby went off but the explosion then seemed to be controlled as if it were a spell. The flames had the the look of a monster roaring before is seemed to notice Von, and Von's Glare seemed to piss it off.

'the ******** is a spell that powerful doing coming out of the Power plant??' Von thought as he looked back to the orphanage before hearing a high pitched whistle to draw his attention back to the ravaging fire spell. the whistling stopped just before a loud boom was heard as the firework spell went off to reveal the logo (Link below) of an anti-demon group, 'Fourth world'.

As the boom of the firecracker disipated, the Fire spell began charging on Von, just as Rimix came rushing out of the church.

"What wa-" Rimix started before being shut up by the sight of the magic.

"Get the Kids Out of here RImix!" Von yelled as he began crafting in the air, the multi-colored patterns leaping form his arm as if he was using every elemnt in one spell. Rimix nodded and ran off into the church without hesitation and began ushering the kids the oposite direction. as the words all mixed a giant rainbow, yet clear barrier formed infront of the church, as tall and wide as the church. The fire smashed into it and seemed to stop. Von carfully inspected the barrier before seeing a small crack form in the middle. His eyes grew wide before thrusting his right hand over the crack as if he was holding the barrier back and pouring insane amounts of magic into it.

Von began to yell from the strain as his forearm began cracking with energy as if the sheer amout of magic was tearing apart his arm, the firespell was being converted to magic and he was attempting to absorb it but it was too much. as the spell seemed to pass, the barrier broke and his arm tore to shreads making him drop to one knee, his left hand holding the gushing blood from his arm.

"BELL, I NEED YOU TO STOP THE BLEEDING! MY activation writing was on that part of my arm and i can let go to write it out in air!" he yelled back to Bell as he watched around to see if the spell would attack again. for the moment it seems to have disappeared but a group of peopl could be seen on the roof of the power plant looking towards the orphanage.

"Why is the building still standing?" said a strangers voice from the group.



Symbol from firework

==================

Bell watched Von leave with a confused face as Ceci crashed into the ground with a short shout of surprise/pain. She didn't understand why he seemed upset, getting distracted from wondering when Jax snapped his fingers in front of her face.

"Feed." He ordered, holding his wrist out to her mouth.

"Mm...." she whined. She almost gave in, opening her mouth to bite him when the rumbling started, followed by the explosion of the firework. "What was that?!" She cried out and rushed out the door. Jax and Ceci looking/glaring at each other before following after her, Jax first as the angel picked herself off the ground. Bell stood frozen watching the exchange of magic, the dress fluttering with the wind generated from the collision. In her vision, the colors began to shift as he tried to hold back and absorb the magic, his arm seeming to grow brighter in cracks.

"Stop!" she cried and started to run towards him just as his arm exploded. "VON!!" She stumbled into a crouch beside him, her eyes big with fear and worry seeing the damage he caused to himself. His blood oozed around his hand that tried to staunch it. "I-I can't stop this... w-we need Barstel..." she stammered quietly, trembling slightly and face pale.

"Nah, this is great." She spun to see Jax, arms crossed and staring at Von in interest.

"How can you say that?! We have to stop the bleeding!" she cried at him while clenching her fists. Jax just smirked.

"Then we can kill two birds with one stone." he said with a shrug, his smirk growing into a grin. "You just have to lick the wound all better~."

"WHAT?!" Bell exclaimed.

"Oh yeah~ vampire saliva has amazing healing properties." Ceci chimed in, looking at Jax in surprise. "You aren't as dumb as the rock you crawled out of!" Jax turned to snarl at her.

"I also heard angel's blood can work too. Wanna find out?" he growled back at her.

Bell swallowed hard as she turned back to stare at the wound. Even with his thick blood, he had lost quite a bit already. Nervously she bent over and licked a small portion of the edge of the wound. She watched with big eyes as that part seemed to smooth over, then swallowed the bit of blood. A loud hearbeat sound echoed in her as the energy was absorbed into her system. She licked it more, cleaning up the blood that came out, sucking a little over where it was still coming out. He still tasted like dark chocolate, but what was registering more was her energy levels rising. The energy in his blood was strong and really concentrated, without realizing due to absorbing so much magic that it caused the injury.

She pulled back with a small gasp as she finished healing the wound, the same time her energy was restored. "I-I'm sorry..." she whimpered, avoiding eye contact in shame.

===================

Von began to blush at the way she was licking the end of his stub. She licked it ever so erotically and it made him embarassed. as his arm was healed he was able to remove his grip on the stub for her to finish. Von was able to stand again as his arm was no longer ********" was the only thing Von could utter as the group had already left the top of the building. Von looked to Bell "have all of the kids gotten out of hte building?"

"aw how is the building still standing?" spoke a voice from down the alley from the direction of the attack. Von stepped back to look at the direction of the voice while stepping infront of Bell, crossing his stub infront of her partially out of instinct.

"Who are you?" spoke Von in a demanding tone before andother man landed next to the original man

"fourth world" spoke the new man "i knew demons were trash but you confirmed they are stupid too."

===================

Bell quickly stood up with him, worried about his condition, though it was weird that his face was flushed and his fangs were showing. "Um, do you need to feed?" she asked him in concern. When Von asked her about the children, she turned to look back at the building, her ears flicking as if to catch any sound. "Um, I think so..."

"Yes, the fused being was most efficient in getting the little ones retreating to safety. Edwards helped as well." Ceci reported Bell's shoulders sagging with relief. Until the people who attacked appeared down the road. She turned at the same time Von put his stub in front of her as if he could protect her in that state. She glared up at him in annoyance. She turned her glare to the men insulting Von, before looking back at Von.

"You're not fighting them like that." she stated blunly, as if commanding him not to. Jax, however, was baring his teeth, knuckles white from clenching his fists.

"You realize this orphanage also handles humans, and is run by a ******** priest?" he snarled at them. Not that he thought they cared; they were an infamous terrorist group after all. It was just bad luck that they decided to target the orphanage. One of them started to move in, Bell giving off a tiny growl as she got protective of her territory.

"Stay back!" She yelled, thrusting her hand in an attempt to blast him back with water. Not set him on fire like she actually did. Her ears drooped as her eyes went wide, Jax snickering at the dude's luck that Bell absorbed and used their magic against them.

"...Oops..." Bell muttered. She looked down at her hands in confusion. "Why is it not right again..?" she spoke to herself. This was the second time she used fire instead of her 'natural' water abilities.

"WATCH OUT!!" Jax's shout startled her out of her thoughts, Bell looking up in time to see a small container of sorts flying towards her direction. It exploded on impact the same time Jax reached Bell to shield her, engulfing the whole area with a strange, pulsating blue cloud. Jax covered Bell's mouth and nose with his hand to prevent her from getting too affected, his plant aspect allowing him to produce pure oxygen to let her breathe for a few seconds beore his ability faltered and stopped working altogether.

"Dumbass should've nullified your powers first." The second man commented as the smoke faded, referring to the burnt husk on the ground. 'well ********' Jax thought with a scowl as he removed his hand from her face, making her gasp for air at finally being able to breathe again.

"Now, be good little ducks and just let us kill you." The man spoke again as more members appeared, seeming to circle them.  

[Crashwave]

"I think not!" said a voice from above, causing the terrorists to look up. Leaping down from the roof of the orphanage, a man with long silver hair landed gracefully next to Von, facing the Fourth World people. He was dressed simply, brown leather pants and gray long sleeved shirt. He wore some odd looking tall boots and gauntlets that were connected to a harness he wore that had a large glowing core on the chest ((OCC: Think like a stripped down iron man suit, harness with the central core, and lines that go along his arms and legs to the gauntlets and boots)). Across his back was sheathed a massive greatsword that was nearly as long as Bell was tall, and pair of monstrous revolvers were holstered at his waist, a white and gold one on his left hip, and a black and red one on his right.

"Who the hell are you?" said one of the terrorists, stepping forward.

"The guy who is really pissed that you made the mistake of starting s**t on his turf," said the stranger, and then drew the revolvers and shot the man in the face in one fluid motion. He fired another three shots in quick succession, dropping another three before the rest could react. He then turned and sprinted forwards, leaping up and running along the wall effortlessly, firing as he went, dropping another two men. One of them drew a pistol and fired back, but the man pushed off the wall to the ground, and the shots went wide. He hit the ground and rolled to a crouch, drawing a bead on the man with the gun. "Cerberus: Triple Bite!" he growled, and pulled the trigger of the black revolver. A streak of silver light shot from the gun and then split into three, taking out the first man and two others behind him. Seeing that they were suddenly down nine people in a matter of moments, the rest turned tail and ran.

"Oh no you don't!" He snarled, and spun the white revolver, pointing it upwards. "Charon: Seeker!" he cried, and fired. A silver sphere streaked upwards and then burst like a firework high above. He tilted his head for a moment as though listening to something, then nodded. "There, now I can track them down later." He stood and turned to the others now, and while he didn't point his guns at them, he didn't holster them either.

"Now then, who are you lot?" he said, eyeing each of them in turn. "And care to explain to me what's going on here?"  

[Nexeran]

Vons eyes grew wide at the sudden appearance of the man from the ceiling. As he began to take out the goons and parading like a glorious man, Von began to clench his fist at the blagerant waste of magic.

"are you stupid? or just oblivious?" Von growled at the man as he turned back and began questioning them. Von Brought his stub back to in front of him and gripped the tip with his left hand, piercing the stub. a few marks began to glow before he seemingly clawed away from his stub to form a metal arm in the shape of a fist. it was not autonomous at all, just a metal stub like a fist. the metal weaving into the pierced skin and pulling tight to stunt the blood and wound.

As Von finished speaking the slight insult to the man the "dead" bodies began to liquify and flow towards the direction the men had "gotten away" to. the men came back from behind the corner and began dripping. as all of the liquid finally met it formed a giant swamp golem, about twice the height of the church.

"Just great" Von muttered to himself as he stepped past the man, but stopping briefly next to him "let me show you how its really done" he uttered before continuing passed him. as Von stepped, he wrote words in the air with his left hand, sloppy yet correct. 'damn, i should have practiced with my left hand more' he thought as parts of his body began to glow blue, rather, the words tattooed on his body.

"Freeze to the core" he said as he used his right fist to punch a singular word hovering in the air, causing a burst of light blue air to rush towards the beast. the air seemed like a cool breeze as it traveled but everything it touched, that was not living, froze almost instantly. Von followed up with punching his right fist into his left palm, making gray words glow and making his right hand shift and as he pulled it away a giant Zweihänder, which was about 7ft in length, formed from his palm. as he drew, he lept towards the beast and slashed outward making a plasma wave of fire, causing the giant beast to explode from the drastic change in temperature. Von landed at the foot of where the monster was and watched the ground to make sure the monster was dead.

"kehehehe Very gooooooood~!" came a creepy voice from behind Von, seeping up from a man hole and forming a drangly soaked man "you made me leak a little~!" he cackled as sludge leaked fromt eh corner of his mouth.

"Swamp Sub-magic huh?" Von said as he turned to the man, making his sword melt away.

"Why yes~!" he said with a slight bow "in fact, im not even here as we spea.." he was intrrupted by Von punching him in the head with the metal fist.

"we are not finished here" he said before looking to the new man in the party "now who are you to step in MY territory?"

Bell stayed quiet, watching with narrowed eyes the new guy 'take out' the people surrounding them, that turned out to be illusions made of swamp sludge. To which Von had to one up by taking it out in a similarly flashy style. Even after she told him not to exert himself, the idiot. She spoke up though when Von tried to claim the orphanage from the stranger.

"Can both of you idiots stop trying to claim MY home?" She growled, glaring at both of them. She paused as the rumbling in the earth started up again, yelping as Jax grabbed her again and jumped way back with a pump of his wings before dagger-like crystals shot up in a straight line at their group, continuing on until it hit the building."And I thought I was a weed..." she heard him mutter as he looked at the source for the attack.

"Put me down, Jax!" she hissed at him, harumphing when he obeyed but stayed in high alert. "What are you look-" Her words halted to a stop, drawing Jax's attention. His pupils turned to slits seeing the point of a double terminated, thin blue crystal sticking through Bell's upper chest, blood leaking out of her mouth as she looked down in wide eyes. He caught her before she fell to the ground, uttering a string of curses as one ends fell out with a stream of blood, obviously dissolving away to let her bleed out. Another one was shot out towards the new person.

"It really shouldn't take this long to demolish a building set against the Council.." Spoke a feminine voice to make Jax look up. Cold, sky blue eyes peered back through the shadows of a hooded figure, her lilting voice and sweet scent would be eerily familiar to Von, with the added detail of a scar across her neck like claw marks.

"Von, what are you doing here?" It should have come out sounding surprised,
but really seemed more as dead curiosity. "You should head back to Master Cain, before you get punished severely again. This is a high priority of the council." Even her tone was dead, but seemed to warm slightly when addressing his father.

Jax snarled. The woman turned her attention back to him,
surprise flickering on her face when Jax ripped his own wrist open with his teeth, his blood sparking green as he focused his energy through the blood before it spilled out. Her eyes then narrowed as he picked Bell up and started running.

"Ah-ah, stay still." She murmured and raised her hand, making spikes of crystals shoot up randomly in his path. He dodged most of them as he pressed his bleeding wrist into her mouth, yelling out as one caught his ankle and ripped into it. But he had gotten close enough, and his energy-rich blood was forced down her throat.

"stay down!" He hissed quietly to her before throwing her forcefully into the pond, the destination he was running to. He twisted as he landed, so that he could face the new opponent, who was glaring at him. He flipped her off with a smirk as Bell sank under the water's surface.

"What did you just do?" she demanded, some of the crystals on the battlefield crackling with her irritation.

Both of you stop being flashy in your posts

Crashwave

you need to fix your character sheet. you need to describe more of your magic type and what element it falls under, and humans aren't aware that they have their own magic yet. Both of you stop being flashy in your posts, and no killing people so easily

 

[Crashwave]

Allister smirked as Von turned back to him and shook his head. "You vampire nobles. All the same. You think all the world belongs to you. Do you even know when the last time your family sent aid to this district, like troops to clear out the criminals? Like they are supposed to do in exchange for the blood humans give them? I'll give you a hint, it's been a LONG while." He started to say more, then turned and saw everything that was happening at the other end of the alley and sprinted to help.

"Heads up!" he yelled to Jax, and then somersaulted over him, snapping off several shots with his pistols, which the woman deflected easily. He landed next to Jax and holstered his pistols with a wry smile. "Yeah, didn't think that would work, but it was worth a shot." He reached over his shoulder and drew his massive greatsword, holding it easily in one hand despite its weight. He glanced at Jax.

"Look, I think the lot of us will have a lot to talk about later, but for now, you look like you need help and I'm willing to offer it. What say we set aside differences for the moment and deal with the people trying to kill us first, then decide if we want to kill each other later?" he said, sidestepping a line of crystals launched by the woman and slicing several in half with a casual swing of his blade. "For now, she says she works for the Council, and that's a good enough reason for me to want to kill her."

He charged forwards, closing with the woman far faster than he should have been able to, swinging his blade in a complex series of forms, moving the sword with grace and ease which far belied the actual size of the blade. It whistled eerily as it cleaved the air, almost seeming to sing with each cut, thrust, or slash.  

[Nexeran]

Von felt sick to his stomach at the sound of the woman's voice. his heart beating faster than ever as his breath quivered before turning to see the woman. His eyes grew wide and tears began filling the corners of his eyes before his left eye began to stream 'melory? b-but thats impossible!' he thought as he clenched his face with his good hand, breath getting shakier. The ground beneath Von's feet began to warp and wave as if space itself was being alerted, matter diffusing, heart shattering. Who should he protect? the one he once loved? the one he grew attached to? Many things circled his mind as the world around him began to freeze, the ripples in the ground paused.

"it's not easy is it? being in this world" spoke a familiar voice, before the figure of himself began walking towards him and distored, Dio.

"Why are you here?" Von spoke shakily as he clenched his face now.

The shadowy figure that stood before him now smirked a giant smirk before answering "I may be an evil dickhead, but i cant take your body if its in tatters, and i cant say im fond of that woman as you are" he held out his hand to Von "take my power"

"if i take your power, im no better than you"

"STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!!" Boomed Dio as he zoomed into Von's face and grabbed him by the neck "I AM YOU! MY POWER IS YOUR POWER, STOP HIDING FROM THE DEMON IN YOU AND EMBRACE THE POWER YOU WERE GIVEN!"

Von stood there shocked and shaky while looking deep into Dio's eyes and finally dropping his head "fine"

Back to real time, after the destruction from the crystals and the group getting back together, just before the strangers leap to Melory. Von's breathing became normal, eerirly so. He dropped his hand and glared up at the scene infront of him and revealed his dual pupils. his eyes piched down on the view of the man divebombing Melory with his sword. Von breathed out a black smoke and vanished from site before reappearing infront of Melory, just in time to recieve a greatsword in the right shoulder, about 2 inches in from the solidity of his bloud making him harder to cut.

"Noble this, Noble that" Von breathed out as he moved his left hand to hold the greatsword in his arm, even pushing it in another half inch. "Dont go parading that you know me, i have given all my money to these people, who the hell do you think funds this orphanage? the city of peasants?" he stopped and took a step towards the man, pushing the blade even further in his shoulder.

"you talk of killing her or the council, well, youll have to get through me first" he said as he finally reached the man to where he could touch his hand, but didnt "you humans, always so over confident, maybe i should show you the true meaning of HELL" as he said that, the worled around the group turned Black, pich black, only visibility was those around you as if you were the only light. Von's body began to disipate into the darkness with a cackle.

a few moments later, a hand touched Bell's shoulders and a head, or rather the feeling of a head near her head "dont worry" Von whispered to Bell so only she could hear "Im still in control, for now, im not strong enough to face her alone so i need your help, but for now, trust me" he finished as the feeling of his being vanished.

"this is my hell, boy" Von boomed from all around the man "all sences are dulled, the feeling of emptiness closes in on you until the bitterend. and just when you think it cant get worse, your true fears come out."

((OOC: this is his origin power, "own personal hell" and it his under his full domain and in his pocket dimension, breaking out with brute forse will not be possible.))

((OOC2: Bloody, please act out the role of Melory in the world to fight out with Crash. this is a ploy to trick Melory and give Von an opening))

As the group fought above, Bell was struggling underneath the water's surface. Not because she was drowning; she was trying not to change. Eventually she ran out of air, the bubbles escaping her mouth as two slits on either side of her neck flared open. Her tears blending with the water as her legs and tail blended and merged into a pastel green fish tail with flowing, soft pink fins. Spined fins ripped the back of her dress, and a few bandages flowed off from underneath to the bottom of the pond. 'Damn that Jax!' she thought fiercely as her tail swished through the water in a fit, clenching the edges of the swirling fabric to pull over the shimmering scales.

Her thoughts activated the mark on Jax, making him hiss at the pain in annoyance. "Shut up, I was getting you out of harm's way, shithead." he muttered at the pond. He bared his teeth at Allister when the guy came near.

"******** off, go play target elsewhere!" he snapped at him as he muttered about his pistols being no good. He didn't need this dumbass drawing that b***h's attention to the area. As the two men clashed before Melory, the woman's mouth twitched, either in amusement that he still cared about her or that his harm would become her punishment later.

And then the world went dark and upside down, like they were suddenly their own reflections of a mirror. Bell froze, eyes going wide at the sudden expanse of dark nothingness around her as she curled into herself, fins wrapping around her like a small blanket. 'No..' she thought on a whimper as she looked around, her face pale and looking paler with the fine layer of ice collecting on the edges of her skin. She gave a small, warbling scream at the sudden feeling of someone too close touching her, the sound echoing oddly around as if physics was drunk in this dimension. She wasn't able to pay attention to the small words of comfort Von tried to deliver.

"Bell?!" Her head shot up to look at Jax, seeming to sit above her in the air while holding his bleeding ankle, looking shocked to see her here. She gave a small, hysterical sob at the familiar face, just like every other time he had come to get her out of the dark.

"Oh ********..." he muttered as he stretched out a hand to her after he sealed his wounds with his returned powers. She struggled to unwrap herself and swim towards him, disoriented by fear and the drastic change of environment, part of which she no longer could see. She squeaked as vines wrapped around her, helping to pull her up from the waters. By this point she was in full panic attack, trying to scratch the black vines off. she squeezed her eyes shut as she broke the water's surface, and when Jax tried to pull her closer to calm her down, she instead lunged at him, snarling as she sank her fangs into his shoulder. In the absence of sunlight within this warped plane, her panic attack had caused her to go feral.

As Von seemed to dissolve away into the darkness, Melory use the opening to thrust a large, blunt crystal at Allister to knock him up and back away from her, then summoned crystals above them to pierce him into the ground. Even if he swiped the attack away, she had another in ambush within his shadow to pierce his body.

"And here I thought Von would oppose his little charity drop being demolished. At least he has his priorities straightened out." she hummed to herself as she fought with the mercenary. Her eyes flickered over to the distracted pair of 'demons' fighting each other and launched more terminated crystals to puncture their skulls. Bell's eyes flashed to it, brilliant green with cat pupils before a wave of black rippling water splashed in front of them. It absorbed the motion of the shots and holding them in place as they dissolved into the liquid distorting the view of her and Jax. The water rolled before torrents of water shot out towards them, both Allister and Melory and anything else that was moving. Melory jumped back, bringing up wide gems to acts as shields against the attack. 'Wasn't she a fire demon?? What in Lilith's name is going on?!' she thought with a growl.

my only request is if the character is human, make him seem human. and also respond to my posts dammit

Allister rode the blow, flipping backwards, avoiding the follow up spikes, but he sensed the crystal behind him a fraction of a second too late, and while he was able to avoid most of the blow, the crystal still carved a bloody furrow into his side. He grunted in pain and dodged backwards, only now noticing the changed environment.

"Huh, this is new," he said, pressing his hand against his side to staunch some of the bleeding. He looked around himself with interest. "Oooohh, is this demon magic? Wait, is this one of those things that traps you inside your own mind and torments you with your deepest fears?"

He sat down, crossing his legs under him. "See, the thing about these kinds of powers is that they require the victim to have a relatively sane and well adjusted mind. Which I don't. I have already been through the worst kinds of hell you can possibly imagine. My mind holds no fear for me." He held his arms out to either side and, exhaling sharply, conjured a dome of silver-hued energy around himself. "I'll just wait here in my bubble till y'all are finished, then perhaps we can talk." He grunted as Bell's water impacted his shield, but the wall held firm, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a sec, didn't she attack with fire a minute ago? Now she's using water? I'm confused. Whatever, I'll just wait right here."

===========================================================

Outside the bubble of darkness that Von had created, Salia perched on the roof of a nearby tree, watching and waiting, the tip of her striped tail the only indication of her anxiety. She chewed on a wickedly curved claw, her golden eyes watching intently.

"Cummon, Alli, ya big lug, 'urry up an' get outta there," she muttered to herself. "We canna stay here fer long. Someone is bound ta notice soon."  

[Nexeran]

Von Faded into view of the man just before his banter. Von grinned at the severity of the Man's Delusion of being able to block "mind" trick's

As the wave came crashing through, Von just fazed through it, making it turn to snow form the temp change and melting to black nothingness.

"You know nothing, human" Von gain with a growl as a responce to the mans understanding of this world "why do you think that little bubble can save you? its not even there anymore as your suit has run out of juice" As he finished the bubble around the man began to fizzle and disappear, the light on the suit began to dim.

"you see, that elder tech, it pulls energy from its surroundings" he said with a grin "and in my world, i controll the flow of magic. you may act tough, but have you ever bee in a spot where a demon wanted your throat but you didnt have any magical items to defend yourself?" Von was than infront of the man in an instant.

------------------------------------------

Back in the real world, Rimix came rushing out of the house to see the giant bubble of darkness 'that cant be good, i need to get in there' they thought as they approced it. As they got close enough, they reach out to begin entering it but the giant bubble popped, revealing nothing in it place. Von and company were not in this world anymore. Rimix then felt a chill, as if a cold drift fell down their spine and turned to see a strange woman atop a building.

"WHo are you" Rimix yelled as they took a low stance to be ready for a fight.

"Bell...OFF DAMMIT!"Jax snarled the command as he roughly shoved her off, the feral girl turning to bare her teeth, growling back. He covered the gaping wound Bell had left on him, thin lines of green suturing it closed before he removed his hand from over it. Luckily for him, he developed an immunity to her venom having to deal with her biting problem growing up. She tried swiping him, making him growl in annoyance that she kept targeting him first.

"I am NOT your ******** enemy!" He said in an exasperated manner, glaring down at her as she eyed him with her tail fin slapping the ground irritably.

"You're right. I am." Melory seemed to suddenly appear behind where Bell lay. She had left the stupid human to Von's attention and focused on getting rid of the other demons trapped in here. Before Jax could shout a warning, and as Bell twirled around to see and attack her foe, Melory had already dealt her blow.

Bell's screech echoed weirdly in the dimension, before cutting off to an eerie silence. Jax looked down in growing horror at the multiple points of crystals riddling Bell's body, the crystals briefly glowing blue under the blood before fading to black like everything else. She wasn't dead yet, her body giving pitiful twitches as her one unpierced arm tried to grab at the earth, like she could pull away from the damage. The pain of it reflected into Von's body via the life link seal he made on her stomach, and the same with Jax and his thrall mark. But the damage was too much, the crystals preventing the wounds from closing.

Jax roared, shooting sharp, thorny vines around them to puncture her back and to drive her away. Melory growled as she was forced back, lines of red appearing on her as the thorns cut her skin. She tried to summon crystal blades to puncture through the defense, but Jax snapped them with bulky tree trunks slamming into them. He then turned to cradle Bell's head, tears rolling down her face as she whimpered weakly. "********, I'm so sorry..." he murmured, the first time he seemed gentle to her.

Right before his hand was shoved into her chest cavity. There was no way he could save her in her damaged body, but there was one way he could keep her living. An emergency surgery, something that he only read of in his father's notes. And even though it was demon to demon, he had to try it,
for his master's sake.

Slowly, gently, he pulled his hand out, taking with it Bell's still beating heart.
Miniature vines mingled with the veins and arteries, supplying oxygen to the blood to keep it beating. With his other hand he carved a slit in his side,
just below the ribs. He then inserted his hand and the heart through the opening, his teeth grinding from the pain, though it was nothing to him if it meant he could keep her surviving. He stitched the heart into his own systems, using vines as temporary blood vessels as he rearranged his blood flow to accommodate the new organ. (meaning he punctured his own blood vessels with tubular plant material to redirect blood flow to and from her heart).

He stood up from her now cold corpse as he finished, more plant stitches closing the slit to seal her heart into his body. He opened his eyes to glare at the b***h who caused this, and his eyes seemed to show a hint of a metallic sheen to them. (no he isn't part vampire now). He bent down slightly before launching himself at her in a blur, knocking her back as she skip across the ground from his punch. "I'm going to ******** you up way worse than what you did to her..."

Allister snorted, shaking his head. "And again, in trying to prove that you are better, you end up making yourself look like a fool." He exhaled slowly, and the shield stabilized, becoming solid once again. "As a matter of fact, the MCG doesn't draw magic from my surroundings, it intensifies and concentrates the magic power inside me. Granted, it doesn't last as long as elder tech that draws from the surroundings, but it also means that the power flow can't be interrupted from an outside source." He turned his head just in time to Melory skewer Bell. His eyes went wide, and he breathed in sharply. His shield vanished, and he slowly reached over his shoulder, drawing his blade.

"Hermes Protocol, engage," he said, and in response his armor beeped and the boots and gauntlets began to glow. He tensed his legs, and then rocketed forwards so fast he almost seemed to teleport. He skidded right alongside Melory as she flew from the blow Jax had landed and lashed out with a massive kick, connecting and plowing her head first into the dirt, gouging a long furrow into the ground.

"COWARD!!" he roared, swinging his blade at her so fast that it created a small shockwave from the displaced air and made a crack almost like a whip. "Come on, b***h! Let's see you try to hit someone who can fight back, instead of a nearly defenseless little girl! Hey plant boy, batter up!"

Using his foot, he scooped Melory up off the ground and into the air, then with the flat of his blade, he smashed her with all of his strength, catapulting her headfirst back towards Jax.

Salia looked down as the other being called up to her, the fur down her spine standing on end as the bubble of darkness vanished. She leapt to the ground, landing lightly, and pulled back her hood to reveal her feline features and large tufted ears. She held up her hands in a gesture of peace.

"Easy now, ahm no here ta cause trouble," she said, curling her tail around her waist to keep it out of the way. "A friend o' mine was in yon bubble with what ahm assumin' were yore friends as well. Ahm only here ta make sure he gets out okay. Mah name's Salia."

As the scenes before him began playing out Von felt like he was behind a mirror, like a world he could not control, almost familiar. Von breath grew more and more heavy and rapid as Bell began getting impaled and the man leaping towards the group to beat on Mellory. Von began quivering and is breath became shaky as the world around them fell apart and they appeared back in the real world. Von eyes began to become bloodshot as he stared at the man who was pummeling the woman he once loved, his demeanor becoming more of that of an animal as his lips began being unable to hold back his saliva as he pant.

'is this really all im good for? watching people die and being a servant of others??' his mind raced as his eyes flicked back and forth and time seemed to slow as he began clutching his face and making only one eye visible. 'dont make me choose, dont make me choose, dont make me choose!' he screamed in his mind as his tattoos began to float off his body and a clock formed infront of him. as he finally realized what was going on he was finally able to reach for the arm of the clock and move it back to just before entering his personal world, before Bell was hit, before Mellory began her attack, but just after Alistair appeared and they both wiped out the swamp user.

"what?" Von said out loud as he pulled his hand away from his face and looked at his hand. "whats going on?" he said before looking up to the man 'i dont feel the connection to my father anymore, nor from Dio' he thought as he returned his hand to his head. As he saw Mellory he thrust his arm at her to form a metal cage around her but it did nothing, part of his spells he had tattooed on himself were gone.

"Von, what are you doing here?" It should have come out sounding surprised, but really seemed more as dead curiosity. "You should head back to Master Cain, before you get punished severely again. This is a high priority of the council." Even her tone was dead, but seemed to warm slightly when addressing his father. Jax snarled at her for hurting his master, picking Bell up slightly to get a better grip as his glare flicked to Von standing like an idiot in battle.

"Get yer s**t together, dumbass! Obviously we're being attacked!" Jax shouted at him, before a bit of surprise flickered on his face. 'back already?' he thought of his magic as he placed his hand over Bell's wound, weaving everything back together with his vines. Bell whimpered at the pain of being treated while still conscious, her body healing quicker though due to the guidelines the plant material provided. Melory looked over to them with annoyance, especially since the girl hadn't taken on much damage like she wanted. She shot off a few more crystal bullets their direction, but this time they just sank into a rather large-headed sunflower as Jax pushed Bell protectively behind his back, facing the orphanage.

"Bell," He started to say on a rumble, the flower around his right horn closing up and growing some nasty looking thorns. "For once in your ******** life, just be a good little pup and get. In. The. House." He tilted his head to listen to the sounds behind him, huffing when he heard her run off away from him. Damned brat finally listened to him. (not really) He turned his gaze back to focus back onto the woman attacking them, slowly straightening his neck as his wings snapped open in an aggressive display, and also to keep Bell out of the line of sight.

"My turn." he muttered and flung a particular seed towards her. She took a step back warily as it came down, landing anticlimactically on the ground before her. Jax grinned and snapped his fingers, the seed instantly sprouting and growing towards her into a rather plain looking shrub. A part of it hit her left arm before she could get back enough out of radius of the plant's growth, but suddenly let out a surprised yell of pain as she gripped her arm tightly.

"Hurts, don't it?" Jax crowed with laughter, earning him another glare from Melory. " 's what happens when you touch a stinging nettle plant~"

Melory let out a screech of frustration and pain, sending spikes shooting up all around in a wide radial range, aimed at him and the new guy. Jax chuckled as he jumped off of one of the sides of a crystal to hover in the air above the chaos, chancing down to see Bell sneak around the side of the building.
He scowled, of course she wouldn't listen properly. He hissed as the distraction costed him, a crystallized branch sticking out of his shin. He ripped it out as he landed back onto the ground, swearing every other breath.

"I refuse to look like an idiot on a mission assigned to me by my Lord!!"
She fumed, moving the crystal blocks to slam together to crush Allister and Jax. Jax simply jumped out of the way or summoned thick trunks to block the crystals, moving in a way to get to where he saw Bell disappear.

"Alert, temporal anomaly detected. Source, unknown. Cause, unknown. Duration, five minutes," Allister's armor suddenly said, info flashing up on the display in front of his right eye.

"Temporal what now?" he muttered to himself, checking the display but still not taking his eyes off the newcomer.

Salia dropped next to him, landing lightly, wiping blood off one of her daggers with a rag before sheathing it. "Alli, we canna stay here for much longer, there were scouts in the woods over thataway," she said, holding her hands together and then planting them on the ground. An archway of ice formed in front of her, the air inside it rippling like water. "I killed them, but it willna be long before somebody notices they're missin,." She looked around at the others, then gestured to the archway. "I humbly suggest we all move before more vamps show up."

Allister looked over at Von. "Look, I apologize for what I said earlier. I live by a code, and one of the primary parts to that code is to help those in need. I CAN help you, you just have to trust me." He shifted forwards, putting himself between Melory and everyone else. "Get through the gate. I'll keep her busy." He turned to Melory. "I hate to tell ya, sweetheart, buuuuuuuut you already look like an idiot in that dress. Hermes Protocol, engage." His armor beeped, and he started moving, so fast that he seemed to flicker from point to point, forming a ring around Melory. "Let's see if your crystals can match my speed!"
