East Gate: Asia HQ Arc

East Gate: Asian HQ Arc
----------------------------------------


"Calling all Exorcists! Calling all Exorcists! This is Chief Officer Bak Chan! The Noah and the Akuma have arrived near the HQ! I repeat! The Noah and Akuma have arrived near the HQ!! Everyone, go into your battle stations and prepare to defend the HQ at all costs!!" The sirens were going off throughout the whole Asian HQ as Bak Chan spoke over the speaking, reaching all the Exorcists inside.

The Exorcists who barely managed to arrive in the HQ from the North and South Routes quickly ran to their positions and waited for the enemy to draw closer to the HQ. A huge war between the Earl and the Exorcists was about to take place, here at the Asia HQ...



________________

Rules:

The structure of the HQ is as follows: the entire harbor is enclosed in a semi-circular wall ten feet thick at any place. There are three gates at the moment, the West gate and the East gate, accessible only via the respective routes.

Each Exorcist/Noah group that arrives immediately splits into two groups: the Noah are assaulting the wall while the Exorcists are defending it from the inside. While the Noah are forbidden from moving from one gate to the other, they may summon up to 5 level 1, 3 level 2's and 1 level 3 to attack the other gate (regardless of whether the other group is there yet).

The Exorcists must defend the gates until the other group arrives, after which both groups must keep the Noah at bay for 50 posts (by the Exorcists).

Attacking the wall is forbidden, as it is defended by special anti-Akuma charms. And Noah can only enter the city through the gates. However, Exorcists must defeat each Akuma group.

10 posts after the first group arrives, if the Noah haven't breached yet, Miranda Lotto will arrive, providing back up to the group and also causing the Exorcists to return to 100% health after every post (thanks to Miranda's time recovery).

If the Noah breach, one post is added to the remaining count of posts until the Noah must pull back.

NOTE: Exorcists/Akuma are able to post in either West or East, and can switch from either one as long as it is RPed.

Once they set foot on the sanctuary the doors behind them closed suddenly and a group of armed exorcist came to greet them.

“I don’t know who you are but you might as well please take one step far from Miss Schwartz.”

Jacques was startled by the reception committee. Some of the men even were trembling waiting for anything to happen. Turning his look to the left he noticed Angie looking down. Her hair just covered her eyes and her face was blank. Nothing was readable on her face. And that really worried Jacques. Instead of leaving her he stayed on her side.

“What is this about? Why you are treating her like this?” asked Jacques.
“We don’t know if she is on herself we need to examine her in order to keep things on calm.” Said one of the scientist.
“Well she is not an animal you know? You can ask her.” he said back with a low angry tone of voice.
“Maybe but her alarm went off the first time she exceeds her limit time to be transformed. We’ve been looking for her since this happened. Right now she is not a reliable person to be with Sir. I will ask you one more time…” said another scientific.
“Please stop, I think that’s enough. I’ll go in peace but you must promise me to take care of him will you? He is new here and will need some rest you know?” said Angie with a soft cheerful tone.

Jacques saw when Angie lifts her head up. Her eyes were bright with unshed tears still she managed to give him a big smile.

“Remember no matter what. I will be back in a few hours. They will only want to check…” she bend over her knees when the pinch on her heart hit her like a bullet.

Jacques rushed and the tension on the place turned a few notches up.
“Angie! Are you ok? What’s wrong?” said Jacques while kneeling down and holding her.
“Jacques….tell them to sound the…the….the alarm, the akuma’s” she hold her chest when a new pinch came. “We are going to get attack.” She raised her head to show her eyes completely changed into big pools of red blood color.

She was mesmerized looking at door when the alarm sounded.

“Attention to all exorcists. We are under attack repeat we are under attack. Everyone please take your positions.”

Everyone went retreat while Angie began to transform without calling her Innocence. Jacques tried to calm her down but didn’t work. Angie brushes from his grip and rip her dress apart when she began to grow. In the end the large cat stood in front of the gates roaring her hear out for the enemy. And then all hell broke loose.

((Well I hope this might be a nice intro for East side. I hope no one had beating me to it. LOL. Fect your turn))

[Fect]

'Crap.'

He bit his thumb. There wasn't anything external to disrupt, but the energy was flowing in an incredibly strange fashion. Her innocence wasn't controlling or even adding to the flow. It was silent. Then it would pulse, transforming her more.

The attack was led by 10 level 1's, then 5 level 2's, then a level 3 in the back. "Oh, a kitty has appeared. Too bad she can't do anything to us."

Angie lept for the level three, taking out a level two and two level ones in the process. A large purple shield appeared instead. "This is my power: Of control."

Purple rings appeared around Angie's legs. Jacques pulled out needles and flung them at the level three, who quickly deflected them. Angie lept through the air, attacking Jacques.

Jacques smiled. He threw a single card-like shield through the air, and the rings faded. A second large shield held Angie back. With the other hand, a large insignia appeared in the air over Jacques' other fist. "Cannon de Saint."

A bullet pierced a nearby exorcist, and he turned to dust. The bolts flew from the insignia, piercing the level ones and twos, then making their way to the level three. "What did you do Exorcist...?" At that moment, Angie lept at its head, biting the level 3's neck in half. A much larger Combined Akuma appeared; it seemed their battle was far from over. 'I'm going to need you Lamia.'

His hand reached up to his chest. The metal brooch began moving like quicksilver, in some unrecognizable form. Angie then turned to a nearby exorcist and disposed of him. The sword had finally taken shape, but Jacques was unnerved by this... event. The silver flew back into the insignia, then Jacques coughed up some blood. The Combined Akuma let loose its mass-destruction ability, tearing at the entrance to the walls. The other mountains around the entrance were flattening, but the Asian HQ was only slightly damaged.

"Cannon De Saint." Instead of a number of small, unfocused shots, Jacques concentrated the energy into a single core. It flew straight at the enemy, tearing off an arm from the massive Akuma.

Angie ran towards another exorcist and akuma pair, and she was in a mid-air jump. His pointer finger and middle finger were extended, and they quickly flew down. Angie fell nearly straight down, spread out and unable to move. The exorcist ran behind Jacques, telling him, "Thanks."

The Combined Akuma bolt arced down towards Angie. 'Gravity affects that as well... great...'

He lept over the pinned Angie, muttering, "Étapes de l'Arcangel."

He intercepted it in time to take an indirect hit. 'Oww...'

"This isn't getting you anywhere. Get her inside."

Angie then began to float, as they went through the entrance. "I'm sorry Angie, but you and I have the same fear: We can't control what we have."

Jacques was sweating profusely. The inner-area was meters away. Fou retreated from fighting. "Baka, don't bring her in here!"

He didn't look over, "You have seen too much, and have grown too passive. I'll let Lamia and you talk later."

Fou was angered; she turned to the nearest level 2 and cleft it in two.

Jacques, as soon as they got inside, once again pinned her down, still sweating, but not under pressure from battle outside. He sat down, cross-legged, and a seal appeared under Angie. He gave out deep breaths as he waited.

"Nicholas-tama!" Lero squeaked.

Nicholas sulked. Lero's incessant bothering had become tiresome, he was ready to kill Lero. On the other hand, Nicholas thought Lero was too cute to kill, maybe he'd eat him. He'd eat Lero along with Kujaku. Yes, that sounds good.

Lero appeared in front of Nicholas with Road. She held Lero balanced upon her shoulder, Lero's head pointing behind her.

"Nicholas-nii-san." Road said.

There was a short pause.

"Why do you call me nii-san. Uncle E states you are the oldest Noah, although with Nero around..." Nicholas wondered.

"What are you talking about, I'm a young girl, you're clearly older than I am." Road replied.

There was another pause.

"How's that hunt going?" Road asked, placing Lero across her hips behind her and holding tight with both hands.

Nicholas clenches his fists.

"The Earl said fusing with Styx isn't good for you. Well not necessarily you, but for your malevolence."

My malevolence? What does she mean by that. Would I become less ev-- ahh... I see.

"I don't actually know what it means, but he told me to tell you that. Also, he placed a time limit on you. Two weeks."

Plenty of time.

Road placed a finger on her chin and looked up at the sky.

"Maybe it was two days... or was it two hours... two somethings. Two minutes? I think it was two weeks. Let's say two weeks. You have two weeks."

Nicholas massaged his temple.

"Two WEEKS is plenty of time. Now go tell him that, I'll be dealing with the exorcists."

He walked past Road and continued down the Road. Soon a towering building came in sight, a siege of akuma had already begin to attack it. They have raised walls around the tower which includes a huge body of water. The attacks brought on by the akuma seem to be useless, the wall must be impregnated with some sort of anti-akuma whatever.

"Hmmmm"

A gate.


Nicholas began to walk towards the gate.

[HolyMoon]

Athena... In front of East Gate...

The girl landed on the ground with a soft thud. She had activated her Blend since she had seen enemies along the road she took. None of them realize her pressence though, as her small body and ability advantaged her a lot. And now she was hidding on top of a tree near the East Gate.

In front of it, she saw a Noah was walking toward the gate. She had received a report from her golem earlier on that day, ordering any exorcist to defend one of Asian Headquater's Gates. And here she was, ready to fight the Noah.

She quietly activated her Innocence and widening her Innocence power to the front gate. It quickly reached the gate before the Noah. After she had done, Athena sent her Clones to confront the Noah and release her Blankness to him.

Meanwhile, the gate had multiplied without him knowing, while the real gate had been hidden by changing it into the same color and structure as the wall.

-------------------------
((anybody (Exorcist/ Noah /Akuma/Finder) would saw the real gate as a wall from the outside. From the inside, there would not be any change.

The one who walked to the false gate would hit the wall instead of passing the gate. But this won't effect the one who has special abilities which can see trough illusion or transformation, since they would know which ones is the real gate. :) ))

[Shiku]

WHAT? Akumas and Noahs are invading...HERE? Not good...

Hiro stood up from the couch that he was sitting on, Keisuke was sleeping in the one opposite him, he returned about 10 minutes after he had arrive looking quite annoyed and tired so Hiro made him some hot chocolate and he fell asleep after.

I'll lert him sleep for some more...I shouldn't be so cold to him after all...

Hiro's mouth somehow smiled kindly at Keisuke who was sleeping and probably dreaming about food, He walked off and put his Exorcist uniform on since it was better if he fought in it a Finder found him and hurried over.

"Ahhh Hiro-san! We need help protecting the east and west gates!" The finder informed him.

"Yeah ok...Oh let him sleep for a bit more.." Hiro pointed at the sleeping Keisuke.

"Ahh..Yes sir."

He walked towards the west gate where he found one or two other exorcists already there.

"What's the situation?" Hiro asked as he put his glove on.

Jean:

The sirens blasted throughout the vicinity between the East and West gates. Every member of the personnel rushed from room to room as they squeezed against any Exorcist or Finder in the area to help fend off the waves of incoming Akuma.

"Ready the talismans!"

A Level Two landed over a couple of new exorcists just outside the East Gate. The latest recruits of Asia HQ, their bodies trembled violently under the towering black figure. With defeated looks in their faces the two braced themselves as the Akuma prepared to deal one fatal strike.

OOUAAGHH!!

A sudden burst of lightning struck the Akuma's chest, blasted a hole on its deep black torso. A blonde-haired exorcist jumped down in front of the two beginners as he glanced back and smiled. Like a knight in shining armor golden plating shielded his whole torso as he wielded a tall golden halberd. With one large swing the exorcist created a massive wave of electricity which engulfed the injured Akuma and struck a few level ones in the air.

"Fall back to the gates quickly, there's no telling how long you'll live outside the defenses," Jean ordered the new recruits, as he prepared to launch another attack. The exorcists nodded quickly as they ran back, their hearts inspired by his voice, passing by more exorcists exiting the gate to join the blonde-haired knight.

The new group of experienced exorcist took their stances as the next wave of Akuma loomed closer. Baring wounds and scars from previous battles, they were not afraid of death itself, as they entered the war zone fully knowing their duties as an exorcist. Jean started to generate another wave of electricity in his hands as he eyed the approaching Akuma.

Glancing back to his fellow allies he took a deep breath.

"Fellow exorcists taking a stand! In this soil we stand on we pledge ourselves to protect our fellow people. Leave your fears behind and push your hearts forward! Rally to me, as we defend against the forsaken Akuma!"

A thunderous roar came from the exorcists behind, as they rushed forward to defend the Headquarters. They fought hard as they risked their lives to protect, hacking their way into the waves of Akuma. With hero's hearts they cheered on every step of the way, their battle cries inspiring those in the front, and behind the lines.

With the blade of his halberd detaching, Jean gave a mighty swing towards the enemy as the chain-linked halberd slashed its way through the assault. With each graceful but powerful swing, an azure arc of lightning flashed behind the blade's path, the sky itself mirroring a summer storm.

Jean then stopped as he saw an approaching red cloud. The crimson haze growing and growing, the curdling screams of those in the very front echoed back towards the front of the gates.

The blood-red haze moved like a giant rolling tsunami, as it loomed over the swarms of Akumas themselves. The sky turned into a deep red as the wave blocked the very sun itself.

Piercing screams from what appeared to be blood-sucking butterflies filled the field as one by one the exorcist's faces were being eaten alive. The red cloud itself was a massive swarm of these terrifying creatures as they swooped down and targeted the exorcist's eyes.

"Pull back! Pull back behind the walls!," Jean shouted as loud as he could, attempting to prevent a scene of genocide. This could not have come from an Akuma..

I have to warn the others...

------

Ruth:

A satisfied smirk ran across Ruth's face as she slowly paraded under the red swarm. As more Ravenous butterflies flew from behind her she only closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she savored the music of blood-curdling screams and smell of blood in the air.

She was still far from the very gate itself, but each step brought her closer to a scene of ecstasy. Forming her ominous blade 'Sacrilege' her pace quickens as she could not wait to show the exorcist the true abilities of the Noah of Cruelty.

Closer... and closer... and closer....

Let the show begin.

[Askand]

Her mind was in turmoil and heart beating at a high pace. But when she wanted to stop her from killing the exorcist she couldn’t. Feeling powerless she began to cry pain while begging Rashar.

“STOP! Why can you just hear me? I’m telling you to stop this.”
“Why should I? They want you dead also, we need to get then out of the way Angelique. Everyone is the enemy. Even him.” Said Rashar with a growl.
“That’s not true he cares like everyone else here you have to stop this” was Angie’s plead.
“You take me for fool? It was me who took care of you during those years; don’t you see they want to get rid of you of us? They don’t care for us. And I bet he just want to have a nice time and when the novelty pass…”
“Shut up. Why? Is always the same conversation over and over again? Im tired of it. All I want was to be with my family I didn’t asked for this I don’t want this. I just want my family back.” Said Angie finally crying inside.

She was on her knees crying when a soft breeze brushed her hair. A soft pressure on her shoulder made her turn her face to left to see a mirror where she saw one by one her friends and people she met on her life. At the end Jacques face appeared. She cleaned the tears from her eyes and saw his image until the mirror was shattered by the Rashar’s claws.

“You had always been weak Angelique you wont be able to defeat or stay with your humanity much longer I will prevail and everyone, your love ones will die as well” said Rashar with sneer.

The last words stuck on Angie’s head like a metal getting branded on mind. She noticed that although Rashar’s tone was harsh she was also sounding hurt almost worth of pity. It was then that Jacques face once again appeared on her mind as well as her family and friends. Everyone was a dear person to her. When she was able to be back as a normal person she made her purpose to help and defend everyone even Rashar. That last part threw her off. She had been forgotten some many things including her promise to Rashar of being there for her and also taking care of her.

“I’m sorry for failing you my friend. I know I promised but it seemed that I forgot that.” Said Angie standing up with resolution.

Rashar eyed with suspicion, and took some steps back when Angie tried to hug her.

“Stay back you weak, what you think you are doing?” was the angry sneer of her question.
“I will fulfill my promise to you and my loves ones. I will fight for them and make sure to win. But I want to hug you because I want to say sorry for letting you down. For leaving you alone all these years. I know you had been there for me and I’m not and for that I want to say I’m sorry.” With this Angie finally got near Rashar and hugged her.

The tall woman trembles but finally hugged her. They two women stood for a couple of minutes hugged until they separated they heard Jacques struggling. They broke the hug and Angie said.

“I think we better hurry and help Jacques he must be exhausted and we need all the help we can get.”
“ I guess I can work on a truce for the moment Angelique, but after this we will settle this once and for all.” Said Rashar in a serious tone.
“Fair enough then. Let’s begin.” Was Angie’s last comment before both parting to the white light in front of them.

Jacques was starting to struggle to keep Angie pinned against the floor. The effort was getting difficult as time went by. But the needed to make sure Angie wont kill randomly. Sweating profusely he noticed when Angie started to calm down and change back into her human form. Once she was completely transformed she took a look at Jacques.

“Hey Jacky-kun its me Angie. Please let me go. I’m back again. It’s the real me Jacky-kun.”she said in a pleading tone.

Jacques didn’t respond and stayed pinning her until she felt his force leaving him. It took him almost half and hour to get weak enough for her to struggle a bit and crawl toward him.
“Please Jacky-kun, now who is the stubborn one?”she said with a smile.
Jacques couldn’t help it and chuckles a bit and stopped. Angie finally moves enough to sit next to him and pull him on a hug. His head was resting on her left shoulder while she rub his back in a soothing mode.

“Thank you, Jacques. Thank you” she managed to whisper.
“Stay back from him Angelique, and don’t pull anything we got you surrounded.” Was Fou statement.
“Ok, but he needs to rest. He is too exhausted and he is hurt. Please take care of him.” Said Angie when she left Jacques who was apparently sleeping on the floor.

On an impulse she kissed his forehead and comb his hair a bit. She was red as a tomato but she didn’t cared. He help her in more ways than many person could had and she was grateful for that. Standing up she took some steps back and before anyone `could do something she jump and rush into the battle. Fou didnt knew what to do except to follow her after she gave the order to take Jacques to the infirmary. While he was being taken to the infirmary Jacques managed to open his eyes and see Angie passing the gate. She looked different he thought before closing his eyes and rest some more.
While resting he noticed she felt less scared and more secure. Something must had happened while she was on her mental battle with her other personality. Jacques hoped she will prevail over and that she could succeed. A roar in the air let him know that Angie already was in battle but this time helping and not creating chaos.

[Fect]

He saw Angie walk back towards the East Gate, as he went inside the infirmary.

'...'

"Not going after her...?"

'The problem is that I can't.'

He blacked out.

The rumbling came, as the doctors took care of incoming patients. Jacques awoke; a nurse was yelling at the doctor saying there weren't any more beds. Jacques pulled out the IV from his hand, stood up, then walked out the door. Behind him, the doctor shouted: "Sir! Don't leave! You haven't healed yet!"

Jacques just waved as he walked westward, through the Asian HQ.

"Not going to watch her again?"

'I don't think I could. I'll be better off attacking.'

[Shiku]

"Innocence activate" Hiro muttered under his breath.

An icy chill ran through th air as Hiro's innocence activated, he casted ice blades and flew them towards the approaching akuma which just seems to never end.

Damn....there are alot of them here...

Hiro defeated akumas after akumas that came launching themselves towards the exorcists, Hiro saw that one of the exorcists, Jean was staring at something in the sky with a panicked face Hiro looked at the sky and saw a blood red cloud, it turns out that they were all blood sucking butterflies and they were targeting the people's faces.

True Last Boss (http://www.esnips.com/doc/f9331209-e03d-4fbb-80d3-979f36ef83af/A-True-Last-boss) ((lol...suckish theme =P))

Hiro heard Jean telling everyone to fpulll back behind the walls, Hiro rushed back and hid behind the walls so as not to get his face eaten alive.

I'll try and freeze the butterflies so they can't moved.

Hiro held out both his palms to face the large swarm of blood sucking butterflies and tried to freeze them together, he managed to succeed by freezing them into a big block of ice which started to fall down and squash the exorcists beneath it.

Oh damn!

Hiro moved his palms upwards and he threw the massive piece of ice towards the Akumas, he wiped his brow and then started to fight again.

[Kabane]

((too bad i wont be going into there XD))

Nicholas stopped. He was startled by this strange and surprising feeling that certainly slowed his stride. His senses told him the source of his serious desire to slaughter slipped through his strong grip and slid into a slew of sinister souls on the opposite side of this stupendous scuffle.

Carefully, Nicholas crept away from this crazy and cantankerous field of conflict and dashed towards his correct objective, Hei Ashur. Soon he came upon a completely different battlefield. Nicholas counted the contestants in this battle. Four and Four. Four chosen vs four children. Leiko and Hei were currently in combating. Nicholas continued to creep closer. He clasps his hand around her right arm.

"I think I'll take it from here."

[Yamamoto]

((lol Shirou, and I have that theme too xD))

Ruth:

Koubai (Melody of Confrontation) (http://www.esnips.com/doc/0c8fbe9b-0734-45a2-81df-1846ca45399f/OST24)

Ruth paraded through the scene of blood as she couldn't hide her smile. More and more bodies lay dead on the battlefield, a couple more crushed by some foolish exorcist's attempt to freeze the Ravenous. Ruth only smirked as she waved her hand as more butterflies materialised from behind her.

Isn't it surprising how much blood people have from all the towns getting here?

A cowardly exorcist was sniveling and groveling under the sight of Ruth, his body crushed by a large piece of ice. The skin of his face was peeling as the Ravenous butterflies flew in to feed from his blood. His screams grew louder as the butterflies moved into his mouth, eating him away from the inside.

Drawing her sword Sacrilege, Ruth then walked quickly towards the enemies, taking quick steps before she spun her body and slashed an unsuspecting exorcist's torso in half. More and more exorcists aimed to run away but only met the sting of Ruth's Obsidian Tears attack- as a large black and crimson wave hacked through their bodies. Ruth started to laugh as she enjoyed the sound of their bodies slashed into bits.

The little ants in fled in confusion and panic as Ruth only took little steps to chase them down. An exorcist was running as fast as he could, fear replacing pain as he tried to escape the Noah's range of attack. Ruth only smiled as she stopped in her tracks, giggling as she pointed her sword at the fleeing group.

Ten-foot walls began to emerge from the ground in front of the running exorcist and his colleagues. Baring the same marks from the Ravenous butterflies, the victims tried to claw their way out of the narrow hall completely surrounding them. In an instant, a blood-red spear pierced through an exorcist's chest as it materialised from one wall and ended at the other. The screams began to mount as more of these spears bore holes to the victim's bodies, the narrow walls preventing any forms of escape from the torture.

Louder they screamed. Louder she laughed. The Hall of Screams truly lived to its name as Ruth's uncontrolled laughter echoed throughout the battlefield.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!

The climax of screams began to diminish as she could feel the bodies inside laying limp. The walls disintegrated as they turned back into the blood-sucking butterflies and began to feed on the impaled bodies. Ruth stepped forward, her face couldn't hide the excitement of when she will actually reach the wall.

[Wacer]

The sound of alarm blaring echoed though the walls of HQ as the akuma brought forth there siege of asia HQ. Dimitri had been running about HQ doing one thing or another and it was time to step up to the front lines and offer his assistance to the others that where holding up at the gates

Arriving at the east gate Dimitri saw the hellish battle that was being waged to thwart the onslaught of akuma and such to keep them at bay. What he saw confused him to no end though as a cloud of what appeared to be butterflies seemed to be approaching. AT first he though they where harmless but he watched as they landed on a fallen Exorcist and too his horror it sucked the guy dry of his blood.

"Well I know where they get there red color now" Dimitri thought to himself as he summoned his power to get rid of the blood sucking butterflies. But dispatching the few that where around was no good as it only seemed only more took there place. And to make it worse his little outburst of power drew akuma to the area as well to add to his problem.

"Dang" Dimitri called out in frustration with the appearance of the akuma. Having enough of this he called on his power and the familiar thunder tails burst forth from his back and wiped around. With a blur of speed he closed the distance between the nearest and brought down all six tails on the level 1. Not a second latter he had back flipped and his tails lashed to ether side and took out two level ones on the side of him. All this happened in the few blinks of the eye and as Dimitri's feet touched the ground the three level ones exploded in a blinding fireball.

The butterflies where still a problem though and only grew more numerous by the minute. A ring of thunder dragons formed around Dimitri and with a roar they fanned out ans cleared the surrounding area for the moment.

"What to do now" Dimitri thought to himself ass his thunder tails whipped around

[Askand]

A chill runs thru her spine as she walked toward the gate. Taking a look at her surroundings the akumas haven’t managed to enter the place yet. Also she saw the concern look of some exorcists who doubts when they saw her there.

“Reception committee you think?” asked Rashar.
“Not likely, it will be a waste of time try to explain them. Let’s see what we can do to help.” Said Angie while jumping to get into the highest place of the wall.

Fou arrived at the same time she went looking to the place outside the gate. Both girls saw a red cloud swarming to the gate. Some exorcist fell over it and the piercing screaming of pain made Angie’s skin cringe.

“Fou call them back now, we got no time that thing is eating everyone alive.” Said Angie standing at the edge of the wall.
“What you think you are doing?” asked Fou once she saw Angie at the edge.
“I’m going to try to do the correct thing that’s what I’m trying to do.” Said Angie jumping and starting to run down the wall.

At the middle of the running she use the wall to jump forward and arrived in time to grab some people and start running with them. She eyed the cloud and noticed they were red butterflies. Not knowing what to do she roar out loud making a sound wave that disperse the butterflies but not for long. She decided to make as much as she can and started to run and leave people at the entrance of the gate. Pushing her speed to the limit she managed to save as much as she could but the last person fell at the cloud leaving her no choice but to retreat. Once she left the last one safe she went out and stop next to Jean who was also trying to deal with the cloud.

“Hey Jean any good ideas?” was all she could ask before hearing the noise coming closer to them.

[Yamamoto]

Jean:

"Hey Jean any good ideas?" Angelique asked.

Jean looked at the concerned look in her eyes. The red cloud was approaching, and they couldn't waste time staying inside waiting for the clouds to stay close to the walls.

"We have to go back outside."

Angelique's eyes just stared into his. What was he thinking?

"If we let them get too close to the walls, it may have been too late. Right now, we can't even see the Akuma assault due to the red cloud's cover. This red cloud seems to be only from one being, which means the other side maybe in more danger."

Jean looked straight into Angelique's eyes. "I'm trusting you to defend this gate. I have to go warn the others but I'll leave you with my clones to help."

With a flash of light four clones appeared beside Angelique, nodded at her and began to run outside the gate. Another set of clones emerged as they ran to the top of the walls, with readied crossbows in their hands.

"These guys will be your backup, and they're pretty dependable ones at that. You're strong, and these guys will help you and other exorcists around. I''ll be back as soon as I can."

Jean then began to run back to the centre of HQ, hoping to enlist the help of other exorcists on the way. The four Jeans outside the wall then began to put their hands to the ground, as star-shaped marks appeared. If the enemy got that close, they were prepared.

[Tyekanik]

Nero has gone to the East due to overpopulation of Noah in the West

How utterly boring, wonder whats over here. And where the hell is my sword.

At that moment a Noah appeared, with a bundled object.

"You must be Nero, I'm Lulubelle. Brought this for you." Unceremoniously tossing the item over, Nero catches it, and unwraps the cloth. It is his sword, gleaming with a brilliance that only a legend can hold.

"About time, the Earl certainly likes to make me wait."

"You should know it took ages to track that thing down, and to properly reinforce it with dark matter. How did you manage to make the Earl find that thing for you anyway?" Lulubelle asks Nero

"Easy, told him I'd not work for him with the preset conditions unless a few of mine were met as well." Slashing the blade through the air, demonic energy crackles from the blade.

"Hmmmm, seems you made a few deals before you went to sleep then. Well at any rate I have my own business to attend to, you boys enjoy the siege." With that Lulubelle disappears to whatever errand she is on now.

"Lets see, some cat thing, a little boy, and ah, what is that four copies of the same person? Thats just obscene, clearly not enough style to exist four times. Wonder what trick it is."

Wandering over to a couple of the clones, they begin to move towards the new opponent. One of them leaps towards Nero with the knife drawn, while the other moves in from the other side.

Ignoring the latter one in favor of destroying the former, Nero swipes his blade in a fierce arc severing the clone in two. A burst of electrical energy is enough to inform him these are clearly trap oriented objects, and the latter clings to Nero's back, with its own dagger poised to strike.

Nero uses an illusory technique, yet it isn't effective as the blade is driven into the left side of his chest.

"Eh? Must not possess your own mind." Gripping the dagger wielding arm, Nero hurls the clone off of him and swings his blade, which is almost blocked by the clones dagger. Almost because the dagger is split in two, as a deep gash is draw through the clones chest.

"Lets see, we have two more of those, the kitty and the boy. Oh I've seen her before, thats that ruth person. Woman! Pick your target, I plan on testing this sword on at least one of them."

[Nero suffers 9 damage, regens 8 and has 39 remaining]

[Yamamoto]

As soon as two of the clones in the front line exploded, two of the star-shaped marks began to glow with a bright blue. With the new Noah stepping on these marks, lightning began to rise from below the ground, surfacing up to ten feet high as it crackled throughout the Noah's body.

The other four clones above the wall then noticed the explosion and began to shoot crossbow bolts dipped with explosive liquid to their target. The two clones left on the front line then began to make another star-shaped mark where they were, as they began to dash towards the enemy.

[Damage: 15]

[Askand]

Angie didnt know what to do. She simply couldnt fight on her human form so she started to transform when the explosions began. Watching the new Noah getting hit Angie waited for the next move of the other Noah.
The Butterflies started to swarm again now aiming for her. But then a small path open reveling a woman inside the chaos. Smiling she sign to Angie and said.

"So you are the one who shall die on my hand today?"
"I dont think so." said Angelique raising her speed so none of the butterflies manages to touch her.

She jump and tried to connect an axe kick on her opponent . She just hope all those martial arts lessons she just remembered on her trip with Jacques could come in handy now.

[Yamamoto]

"Quick on your feet now, aren't we?" Ruth smiled as she parried the feral woman's attacks with her sword. The woman attacked with another axe kick but spun around to kick Ruth in the face with her other foot as soon as Ruth blocked the first attack.

Ruth turned her face away as she eyed the woman. Smiling as she sucked the blood from her mouth, with one big slash Ruth let out a black and red crescent wave- the same Obsidian Tears attack from before, sending the woman flying back.

"Aren't you proud a lady like you can fight so much better than some men," Ruth chuckled, as a small swarm of butterflies gathered around Ruth, enveloping her whole body as she began to disappear from the exorcist's sight.

Mithan's Robe...

[Wacer]

Dimitri was having second thoughts as to his choice to stay outside the wall. Having to fight akuma after akuma was starting to get a little tiring and those dang butterflies where getting on his nerves as he had to consistently keep them away. But he had chose to come out there and he would have to live with his decision good or bad.

With his mind made up he figured he would find the butterfly user and put an end to them. Dashing though the city at high speed to keep unnoticed, Dimitri made his way to the center of the red cloud in pursuit of the butterfly user. He was not sure where the person was but it was his best guess that they would be at the center of the advancing cloud.

"I hope those things are not intelligence or the user might already know i am here "Dimitri though to himself. He had been doing a good job at concealing his presence but with his tails out he could not completely hide his innocence. He had to keep them with the level of danger that he was in being out side the wall.

As Dimitri rounded a corner he eyes locked on a figure at the other end of the street. There stood a blond beauty with a twisted grin on her face that sent shivers down Dimitri's spine, This was normal person.

A cat like Exorcists was engaged with women and by looks of it the battle had not been going on long.

"And what could two lovely lady's like yourself being doing in place like this" Dimitri chuckled as he brought attention to himself. His thunder tails whipping about around it preparation for battle. But before his very eyes the women begin to disappear and just like that he could no longer see her

[Yamamoto]

Ruth's eyes glanced at the new exorcist with the tails. She thought the new one would be someone good, but from the looks of things it looks like he wouldn't last long. So much for letting new enemies through if they can't sustain her interest.

While hidden in her butterfly cloak she ordered the rest of the swarm to start attacking the new exorcist. While she was at it, Ruth also decided to send the swarm to the feral woman, they could resist all they want, but she can just walk out of there while they were occupied by the Ravenous.

At least, if she wanted to walk away she would. Slowly killing them would be fun too. With a quick swing of her sword she let out another Obisidian Tears attack as a crescent blast aimed for the two covered with the butterflies.

[Damage dealt: 9]

[Askand]

Angie felt the hit but managed to make a back flip on the air and land on her feet. She saw how the Noah was complimenting her on her fighting skills.

"Your welcome though I haven't warmed up yet." said Angie

But before she began to run the Noah got covered with the red butterflies and started to disappear. Not knowing what to do she waited for the cloud to disappear and then to see what else she could move. Instead she saw the Cloud coming to her, looking at her sides she began to run with the butterflies still on her tail.

"Where did that Noah went? She must had used the butterflies to conceal her escape." said Angie until she was caught up with the cloud. She began to kill as much as she could but they keep coming for more.

[damage taken -9]

[Wacer]

Not right after the the noah had disappeared a swarm of her blood sucking butterflies where all over him and nipped and bit at his flesh and it hurt, a lot. Having enough to do with these dam annoying pest a static burst came forth from him a stunned the little creatures around him. The noah was giving him no time recover though as a black wave was already streaming towards him. Had it not been for his speed he would of been hit but he just barely manged to sidestep as the wave passed not centimeters in front of him.

But to Dimitri irritation she was no ware to be scene and her butterflies had once again resumed there attacks. This was starting to get a little old and a change of pace was needed

"If you dont want to come out of hiding then i will have to blast you out" Dimitri shouted

Black Lighting flared all around Dimitri as he brought out his powers to the brink of there level two state. He would teach this noah just who he was messing with.

Forming a protective bubble around the other exorcist, Dimitri's eyes flared open a hundreds of black thunder dragons filed the sky. If he could not see her he would just have to blast every place he could and with a flick of his wrist he brought them down on the area.

Running over to his fellow exorcist Dimitri dispersed the cloud of butterflies with a quick static burst

"Are you ok" he said as he helped her to her feet

[damage given - 10]

[Askand]

The sensation of getting herself involved on a bubble was real and soon Angie was saved. Her whole face was with tiny bits on some places besides her body but she was recovering fast. The help her on her feet and she smile and hugged in on gratitude. Rashar was red of anger cause Angelique still was the same innocent jerk of always. Angie answered politely

"Yeah I'm ok thanks. Dont worry the wounds will close soon they wont hurt too much for the moment." although she was still filling the sting.

Her savior nods in agreement. Still Angie needed to go back to the gate and make sure no one was hurt.

"We need to go back. I noticed another person around and I dont know if he is another Noah or not." said Angelique.

While on their way back the guy introduce himself and talk a bit about him. Angelique listen politely and started to scan the area for more enemies.

[Kenken]

[Takeshi is now in the East Gate area]

Takeshi

Luckly it didn't took long for Takeshi to get from the West Gate to the East Gate. He was given a horse by one of the finders. Once he got there, Takeshi asked a finder about the situation.

"There are two exorcists outside fighting a noah, with another one looking, and just level 1 akumas. We're trying to keep the akumas away from the fight so the exorcists can focus on the noah."

"I see," said Takeshi, starting to walk outside the gate, "please continue keeping the akuma away as long as you can."

Outside Takeshi saw Dimitri and a cat-like exorcist walking back as countless electric dragons came crashing to the ground. Most of the butterlies were dead while others were flying away. The woman noah was no where to be seen.

He also notice another figure not far away. It was wearing flowing white robes. It had a sword in hand and walking towards the battlefield. Takeshi ran towards Dimitri and the other akuma and helped them get back inside the gate, not taking his eyes from the white-robed noah.

[Wacer]

Dimitri was not very happy to leave the noah behind but Angelique was right. They where at too much of a disadvantage if they stayed and fought out there with that other noah that appeared to lurking about. Back within the relative safety of the gate they had to come up with something if they wanted to stop the noah's advance. He too had seen the white-robed noah lurking about and he was sure he was not going to stay idle for long.

"So what do you guys want to do, I am sure that one noah that me and Angelique where fighting is not going to let our attack go unpunished too long." Dimitri said to the others.

Dimitri was sure that the noah would be making there move on the gate at any time, they where practically on the doorstep. The resistances they had encountered so far was light and it was only a matter of time before they came at it with full force

[Reco]

Martosu walked over to the East Gate from the base of the mountain. Three Exorcists were running back to the gate, with one figure in white stalking across the ruined land. Martosu carefuly moved across the battlefield to delay being noticed by the lone figure.

He reached the gate before the Noah attacked, saw the three Exorcists standing together, and over heard their conversation.

"So what do you guys want to do, I am sure that one noah that me and Angelique where fighting is not going to let our attack go unpunished too long."

"Since you just fought one of them, wouldn't you have enough information to form a plan? " spoke Martosu.

[Kenken]

"We'll split into two groups. Dimitri, Angelique and Martosu take care the woman, while I hold off the other noah. Then once you're done with the woman, attack the other noah with me," said Takeshi as Dimitri healed Angie's injuries.

"But wouldn't it be better if it is two exorcists against a noah?" asked Angelique.

"True, it sounds like that's the best course of action. But more noahs or akumas may come and help them. Thus is better to finish them off before any reinforcements arrives."

"You'll get killed you know?

Takeshi laughed. "I won't. I'll be fighting to survive and buy time, not to kill it."

Dimitri then said, "It's for the best. Let's do what he says. But let's rest for now."

((Wacer, Asky hope you don't mind I RPed your characters. If you do please tell me and I will edit this post.))

[Shiku]

Hiro spotted Dimitri, Takeshi and another cat-like exorcist huddled together so he walked towards them.

"Oi...this is no time to stand around and just chat.." Said Hiro.

Dimitri looked up and his eyes sparkled to see his friend again after a long time.

"Hey Hiro how you been?" Dimitri asked smiling.

"Fine...so what you guys doing? It isn't time for chit-chat."

"We're putting a plan together, Oh yeah! Hiro tell Takeshi he can't take a Noah up all by himself!"

...Taking on a Noah alone IS quite..hard..

"I'll help if you want, the other people are taking care of the akumas well trying to..so I can lend you a hand."

((Hope you don't mind me rping dimitri wacer))

[HolyMoon]

Athena..

Athena had discard her Blend ability again after some times using it for secretly slashing 3 level ones and butterflies, so now she was visible again (she couldn't use her ability too long).

'It's a pity to see such beautiful butterfly stained with blood..,' thought the litte girl as she swiftly jumping from one place to another.

She moves her Innocence, which was in the form of a long white ribbon, around as if she was dancing, slashing 2 akuma level ones as she proceed. The butterfly had gone by now.

As she run past a group of exorcists, she stopped and starred at them.

'They must be my senpai* (*senior)... ,' thought Athena as she saw them talking to each other warmly (It's Hiro, Dimitri, Takeshi, etc :)) 'But I didn't recognized anyone of them.. Is it okay if I just talk to them..?'

She kept starring blankly to the exorcists, not knowing how to approach them as she never make any friends in the orphanage she lived.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we reached at last!!!" Kaze grinned as they crashed their way through the raging war of exorcists and akumas, his blades spinning about him in a meter-radius, cutting any akuma (or anyone) who got to close to them.

Both Kaze and Takai had their full innocence out (Kaze released his level 3, Takai level 2). Takai's innocence caused the area around the both of them to be filled with spore-like raw innocence, which melts the skin of any more dark matter beings who got too close to them but survived the spinning blades.

Cutting their way through the sea of bodies and leaving body parts and blood in their wake, Kaze and Takai finally stepped into the Asia HQ. Just as they stepped into the threshold, a young girl jumped down in front of them, holding a long white ribbon.

"Whoa, you surprised me..." Kaze gave a little laugh, the only cheerful sound amist the sounds of fighting and the screams of the dying. "A new exorcist i suppose? Well im Kaze, and this is my older brother Takai, who is- hang on a minute"

Kaze pointed at something over the girl's shoulder, and his blades shot forward, impaling a butterfly and another level 2 akuma who was sneaking up behind them. At the same time, Takai stepped forward to finish it off.

"Okay, i gotta go. We have a battle here," Kaze waved to the the girl. "See you after the fight, and try not to get hurt."

[Toukestu Zero]

(This post is going to be shorter than ever; I hardly get what's going on here.)

Zero tossed and turned through the air and slashed through several akumas as the two charged through the cword of akumas. It wasn't really tough, and they were having fun as the level 1 and 2s died after being hit. They sizzled up and fell
to the floor, melting away noisily.

Speeding away at an extremely fast speed (Mikey clinging on~) and zoomed past several exorcist and akumas. He slayed a few more akumas, zoomed past Kaze and Takai and some girl and bumped into a few more akuma.

Uh, he actually crashed right through the akuma, not bump them.

[Askand]

Angelique and the other exorcist that help her went back to the entrance of the gate. Another two exorcists joined them and they were discussing a plan. She didn’t like to leave a team member alone with a Noah. The woman was pretty tough with her moves but also with the butterflies. Also the other Noah that was coming for them was around. She didn’t ask for names but she just agreed with the plan although not with letting one exorcist fighting alone a Noah.

“I agree that we can fight on teams but I can’t let you go alone against one Noah. So far until we know what they want we need to stay together as a team. Also we already lost several people around we can’t afford to loose anyone else.” Said Angie in a serious tone.

Jean was surprised to her in that attitude. Which means something must have happened on her way to here to change her that way.

“You really are starting to gain my respect Angie. You don’t seem to be that coward I knew…” began Rashar.
“Well it’s about time I changed right? Plus we are on battle right now. I need to be helpful not a bother. I just hope Jacques is ok.” Said Angie while looking back at the gate.
“Lover boy should be alright you need to focus on the battle not on him. You can let anything distract you.” Said Rashar with a mocking.
“Yeah you are right, not even you can distract me.” Said Angie.

The group finished their meeting with at least a new plan formed. Angie was excited somehow, she feels more connected to her Innocence than before and the truce with Rashar was helping her on this.
The group eyed the Noah and the butterflies. Both were kind of together but separated at the same time. Angie transformed and began to sniff the air.

“Where are you girl? I know you are there in that pile of butterflies. And I will find you.”
Said Angie smelling the place.

Blood , flesh, fear and lust were all around the place. It took her a couple of minutes but she found her. Leaping at high speed she ignored the shouts of her others team mates and started to aim for the woman.

((Its ok Ken Ken. You can rp Angie I don’t mind, if I find something that does not fit I’ll let you know. I will stay around some more hours, let me know))

[Yamamoto]

Ruth's cloak of butterflies disappeared as soon as that feral woman attacked her again, parrying her attack once again with her blade.

"Oh quite the feisty one eh?" Ruth smiled, applauding the lady for her efforts, "But I think it's time to kick things up a notch, don't you think?" With a quick spin on her left foot Ruth and lunged for a swift slash on the exorcist's waist. The woman writhed in excruciating pain as Ruth focused all the pain collected from her sword into that one strike.

With a quick flick of her fingers the butterflies then flew much faster towards the gate, attacking those in the way. Ruth clutched Sacrilege close to her face, preparing for the next strike.

[Damage: Angelique- 10
all other exorcists- 6, butterflies will continue to attack you]

[Askand]

Angie felt the strike on her waist and hold it. She retreated a bit to see the damage on her left side. The wound was not deeply still the pain felt was really more than the normal.

"It looks like she got a trick for the blade you know?"said Rashar while Angie took a safe distance from the Noah.
"I need to stop the bleeding..." With this she rip part of the suit and made and improvise bandage on the wound.
"So far I have to stay near the gate that Noah is far too big for me alone." added Angie.
"Yeah and I thought I was impulsive." said Rashar with sarcasm.
"Well you are part of me now your emotions are also in here. But I need to keep it close the butterflies are also increasing in numbers..." Angie got stopped talking when she felt the presence behind her.

With a kick jump she evaded barely the strike of the sword and managed to land on her feet a few meters from the Noah.

"My, my, my the kitty knows how to move. Good then you should be my new toy till I get tired." said with a creepy low voice.

Angie took a fighting stance and waited for the Noah's next move.

[Tyekanik]

Nero

Sighing, Nero looks around at the retreating exorcist and the couple that seem to be zipping about harassing the akuma.

"Not very good on target acquisition are they?" He says to nobody in particular. Ruth seemed to be holding her own against the kitty exorcist, so Nero strolls up to the gate.

Brandishing his sword, He plunges the blade into the gate, which vibrates heavily as the demonic energy is discharged inside, combating the protective magic placed upon it.

Seems tougher than it looks.

The gate cracked and bucked, and as he withdrew his sword it was approximately a third destroyed.

Seems to have gotten some attention though. Might as well begin things.

Toying with his illusions, Nero copies then cloaks himself, waiting for something interesting to happen. The gate nor the mission really mattered, he was here for entertainment.

[Yamamoto]

"Not going to do anything?" Ruth taunted as she waved her hand again. This time the Akuma army that was covered by the cloud earlier hovered down as Angelique's face became paler and paler.

"By themselves they are useless," Ruth whispered as she kissed a level one Akuma to her right, "But all they need is a little help."

Ruth then shoved her hand on the Akuma's forehead with a quick motion, as dark energy began to consume the Akuma. Soon it's flesh became infested with maggots, it's eyes turning into a deep, soulless black.

Ruth's hair began to untie itself and turn into the same deep black. Her hands turned more into talons, as red violent energy poured out from her claws. The Infested Akuma began to quickly zoom towards the gate, shooting its own rotting flesh towards the gates as well as the people below them.

The lady's eyes widened as her comrades ran away from falling debris. Ruth then began to infest another three Akuma as they ran off to join the first Infested one in its barrage.

"Still standing there?" Ruth glared, as she began to ready her hands to infest another Level one Akuma. "Suits me either way.."

[Kenken]

Hearing some noises coming from the gate, Takeshi starting running towards it, leaving the others as Angelique fought with the woman noah.

When he arrived he was the other noah attacking the gate with his sword. He stabbed the gate, and atfer he took the sword out, about a third of the gate was destroyed.

Takeshi drew tenchuu and ran towards him.

"Stop, noah, I won't let you do any more damage."

((Tye i didn't get what nero did last so i'm not attacking, i'll let you start the fight =) ))

[Tyekanik]

"Oh, another boy exorcist. They shouldn't recruit so young, they lack all sense of conflict."

Nero slowly approaches the new arrival, chuckling as he does so. Takeshi holds his ground ready to launch an attack. Without warning Takeshi lunges forward, piercing Nero's chest with Tenchuu.

However the Nero he stabbed dissolves, and Nero is to his left, chuckling again. Swinging in a wide arc, Takeshi rips open Nero's abdomen, yet this one shatters like a pane of glass.

"Tch, tricks." Takeshi is on guard.

Seeming to appear from directly in front, Nero's blade lashing in a downward arc, slamming into Tenchuu which was brought up to defend. There was no resistance.

Another blade from the right, this one too had no resistance when defended against.

A third blade from the front again, this one with a fierce weight as it slams into Takeshi's own blade, crackling dark energy from the blade. The area around the blade was cold, as if the heat were being leeched from the air.

Blades locked, Takeshi plants a foot into Nero's chest and kicks, shoving the Noah back. Nero scowls as he rushesforward again, with an agile attack Takeshi slices through his throat, however the blade passes cleanly through.

Knowing it is another Illusion, Takeshi whirls around in time to block Nero's real blade which came in arcing low.

"Not bad, you seem to have good reflexes, this should be amusing." Withdrawing the blade Nero jabs towards Takeshi's right shoulder, partially deflected by Tenchuu, however the graze seems to hold more than face value.

"Eh?" Takeshi remarks as his arm feels heavier, and touching his shoulder with his left hand he notices it has gone cold.

"My blade is special, young one. Soon enough you will understand."

[Tharos receives a massive 1 damage]

((your shoulder isn't permanently damaged, think of it as being almost frozen til your body heat warms the area up again, won't take long just don't have it perfect til at least the end of your post XD))

[Askand]

A chill runs thru her spine. She saw in fear how the Noah began to infest the akumas and then when she turned into her true form. A monster that's was she was. Not knowing what to do she stood freeze looking at the way the modified akumas went to the gate. Taking once again her feral form Angie tried to bite down the Noah but she just appeared and disappeared on the cloud of butterflies. The wound was also a problem but Angie was not planning on giving up.

"Aww the kitty is not catching the butterfly? Poor kitty" was her mocking tone before disappearing once again.

The effort to get to the Noah combine with the wound took a toll on Angie after a while. Panting she kneel on one knee while trying to come up with a strategy. Soon the alarm on her necklace beep off once again. Her time limit was near. But she was determined to succeed ignoring Rashar's complains she once again tried to ram the Noah and successfully scratched her dress.
The woman just stood silent at her for a couple of seconds then she started to laugh.

"Oh my kitty knows how to scratch. I cant believe you are an exorcist. You must be a good fighter but you are only that my dear. You are not match against me. Why dont you watch how your precious ones get suck dry? And when I'm done you my dear will be next." with this she turned around leaving a panting Angelique on fighting stance watching in horror how the akumas attacked the wall.

((This is my last post for today kensei I will post tomorrow. Beware surprised might come on handy lol^^))

[Kenken]

[Takeshi's HP: 54]

"My blade is special, young one. Soon enough you will understand."

Takeshi tried moving his arm, but only succeded in dropping Tenchuu. The noah watche with amusement as Takeshi quickly grabbed it with his left hand.

"5th Roar, Heavely Armor." An armor made of golden dragon scales formed over Takeshi's body.

"Oh? That's some nice armor, young one."

Without no warning Takeshi jumped forward, swinging Tenchuu from the right. The noah just got his sword on the way in time to block Tenchuu. Without his right hand Takeshi's attack would be slower and weaker, but he could still put up a fight.

Moving to the right, Takeshi slashed the ground, making rocks to be sent towards the noah's right side. The noah jumped to his left, where Takeshi was waiting.

Takeshi slashed at the noah, but Tenchuu only met the noah's sword. Then with a jump, Takeshi put his weight on Tenchuu, pushing the noah backwards.

As the noah got up, Takeshi closed in and stabbed the noah's head. Tenchu passed through as if nothing was there. The noah appeared behind Takeshi, and swung his sword.

Takeshi blocked the sword with his left arm. Thanks to the armor the sword didn't cut him, but he could sense his arm starting to go cold. Wasting no time, Takeshi toko a step back, as he swung his sword upwards.

"1st Roar, Dragon's Breath!"

An energy blast eupted from Tenchuu, hitting the noah on the chest.

"Well what do you know? Tenchuu is special too."

[Damage given= 4
:)]

[Yamamoto]

Ruth couldn't wipe the smile of her face as she left the panting exorcist behind. On top of the hill she was in, she then began to open her mouth and let out a blood-curdling scream.

Her Withering Surface sent exorcists down to their knees, as their ears bled, unable to cope with the ear-piercing sound. Ruth then paraded downwards, nearing the wall as she saw all the other exorcists and Nero nearby.

Ruth's smile faded as with this many exorcists in front of her, it felt more like a chore. Now she just wanted it over and done with.

So many ants aiming to spoil things...

"Oi, Nero honey, pass us some of your dead guys won't you?"

((bleh short post >.>))

[Tyekanik]

"Oi, Nero honey, pass us some of your dead guys won't you?"

"Eh?" Nero called out, "You could sense they were here? Not bad at all."

Approaching the east gate was the combined forces of the former residential district, now undead and serving Nero's will.

Laughing, nero fades back, wanting to let his minions do a little work, and thinking whatever Ruth might have in mind would be a neat adventure.

The wights stream in, running swiftly and covering the field. These Undead began to converge around Ruth and Takeshi, with different purposes naturally.

((I beat your short post, rawr, cause I'm sleepy and stuff, but there you go, enjoy the dead guys))

[Noah regen = full health]

[Kenken]

[number of zombies = 100]

Takeshi was surroundered by dozens of zombie-like creatures. The noah was nowhere to be seen, but at least the gate was safe as long as he stood his ground and defeated the zombies.

Takeshi walked towards them, and they did the same, although they weren't as fast as Takeshi at full speed. When they were near enough, Takeshi stabbed the ground.

"3rd Roar, Seiryu's 100 Dragons Force, Eye of the Storm."

A hundred azure dragons flew out of the portals that were formed in the ground, attacking any zombies within a 10-meter radius from Takeshi. The dragons exploded on the zombies at conctac, weakening many of them.

Takeshi charged the zombies near him, who had just been attacked by the azure dragons. Slashing and stabbing and striking, Takeshi made quick job of 10 or so zombies, but the next wave were in a better condition than the last.

"I need help..." said Takeshi, running towards the gate. Then he slashed the air, and eggs started appearing around him.

"2nd Roar, Nest of Broken Eggs!"

Dragons erupted from the eggs, and charged the zombies coming to the gate. They attacked the zombies in group, weakening one before moving to the next as the zombies tried to fend the dragons off. Takeshi followed them, and with Tenchuu, Takeshi used Ryusosen on the zombies, cutting them into pieces.

But the zombies fought back, grabbing the dragons and biting on them, as well as hitting Takeshi when they could. Because of the numbers, it was hard to defend one self properly.

Once the second wave was dead, Takeshi used 1st Roar, Dragon's Breath on the third wave before turning back towards the gate.

[number of zombies=80

Takeshi's hp= 49]

[Yamamoto]

"You could sense they were here? Not bad at all."

"Gee I'm not a stupid blonde as one may think," Ruth hissed back, as she smiled at the living dead crowding around her. "Now let's see if this works."

Ruth smiled as she began to stick her talon-like fingers into the skulls of the undead warriors. She squeezed their now useless brains to a pulp as reeking fluid oozed out of their heads. Releasing her corrupted aura into the rotting bodies of the undead, maggots began to crawl out of their discoloured flesh, as their skin began to bubble violently. Their limbs threw a violent fit as undiscernable noises spat out from their reeking mouths. Strangely they seemed to cry, instead of tears a trail of maggots crawled down from their eye sockets.

Whether they were screams of pain or joy from new power no one knew, but the upgraded undead warrior's let off a screeching drone in unison. Their skeletal hands morphed into razor sharp talons as their mouths endlessly drooled in some form of hunger. Brains, blood, living flesh- no one could discern exactly, as the warriors began to lash out on the exorcists nearby, infecting them with diseases borne from bacteria living in the rotting flesh.

"Shall we show them what fate they will hold now?"

[Wacer]

Dimitri had been keeping to the outskirts of the battle making small strikes here and there but it was time to get serious. The horde of undead legions that had been conjured up where making a relentless assault on the gate. If they wanted to fight with numbers he would beat them back with his powers.

A handful of thunder doubles formed around dimitri and acting as a barrier took out any undead that tried to get close. With the doubles keeping a clear sphere around him, dimitri took a deep breath and let go of all the restraints that he had been keeping on his powers. But this time he was prepared for the overwhelming power that flowed though him unlike back at the mountain pass.

The shockwave that flew though the horde was so powerful that you could see as it knocked all that it came it contact with to it's feet. Like a ripple in a pond it spread out and knocked the zombies over like dominoes. The undead righted themself as the blast passed them and they turned to face the way it had come from. As the dust cloud cleared Dimitri became once again visible to all but it was unlike anything anyone had scene before.

A multitude of colors of thunder energy cackled around Dimitri from green to blue and all the other colors you could think of.

"Heven's spear" Dimitri whispered and lines of colored energy spilled from his body. They just seemed to hang there for a second but then in the blink of an eye they shot out like missiles. The lines of energy shot out in all directions and anything they touched blew apart in crack of energy. The area all around Dimitri turned into a explosion of color as the lines pirced the zombie with deadly speed and pinpoint accuracy. In those few seconds the lines covered half the battle field but with a jerk they stooped right there, the limit of its range met. The battle field now glowing from the lines of energy as they stretched from Dimitri. And with a pop they all retreated back along there paths where pulled around Dimitri once more.

Taking his first step since the transformation Dimitri's eyes locked with the noah letting them know they were next.

"Awww look, the little exorcist is angry," Ruth taunted as she saw the multitude of colors decimitating the infested undead.

"How cute," she said in a cold tone.

There were still about forty of the minions left as standing as Ruth infested another level one Akuma beside her.

I'll let you deal with those.. experiments. You ants can't delay the inevitable.

The newly infest akuma then began to aim towards the lightning exorcist, blasting a clump of rotten flesh to the nearest group of undead warriors. The exorcists nearby where puzzled why the Akuma did not aim directly at the lightning boy, but soon he began to cough up blood as a strong stench wafted in the area of the attack.

The destruction of about five undead warriors released decaying matter riddled with disease-carrying pathogens. The airborne spores entered the exorcists lungs as his skin began to turn a yellowish-green. Breathing became laboured as Ruth congratulated the Akuma for doing its job.

"Now...aim for the walls."

[I'll be posting twice since this first post will be about Take and Kimi defeating the remaining zombies and the next about Takeshi achieving level 3 innocence.

Tye sorry but I'll be killing these zombies rather easily. I'll give my reasons for this when we next talk. :)]

Thanks to Dimitri, most of the zombie's 1st army was defeated, with a few dozens remaining. 5 zombies approached Takeshi, attempting to bite him, but Takeshi cut them down without much effort. But another 10 approached him fast. Takeshi managed to cut one down and destory another one before the remaining 8 were close enough to reach him.

But before they could do anything, the zombies were frozen. Turning around Takeshi saw as Kimiko came out from the open gate, atatcking the zombies. Wasting no time, the siblings destroyed the 8 zombies and prepared themselves for the next wave.

[zombies remaining= 25]

The next group consisted of 12 zombies. These were a little bigger than the rest. However they proved no difficulties for Takeshi and Kimiko, who working as a team managed to defeat them all. Takeshi and Kimiko suffered a few wounds, but nothing Kimiko couldn't heal with Ply.

Then the next group came, but again the couldn't do anything againts the might of Takeshi and Kimiko.

At last only one zombie, which was cut into little pieces by Takeshi and Kimiko's Ryusosen.

[First post done, now to copy and paste the next >_>

*goes to Word and opens document*]

[Kenken]

After defeating the zombies, a group of five level 1 akumas and three level 2 akumas charged towards the gate. Takeshi and Kimiko followed them, trying to impede them to get inside through the open gate. But their efforts were futile as the akuma already made it inside.

Following them, Kimiko told two finders to close the gate before anymore akumas came through. Other finders nearby grabbed talisman and pointed them at the akumas.

Takeshi charged the level 1s, striking at them with Tenchuu. He only managed to hit one as the other four moved out of the way, firing their bullets at him.

A wall of earth busted from the ground, blocking the bullets from the akumas. Takeshi felt Kimiko moving next to him.

“That was close.”

“Yeah, thanks Kimiko.”

After the akuma stopped firing, Takeshi and Kimiko moved out of the wall, charging the akumas. Kimiko freeze them with Mercury Psynergy, while Takeshi moved in and slashed them, killing them.

At that moment, a level 2 akuma managed to move out of the force field made from the talismans the finders were using. Takeshi noticed just in time to prevent the akuma from killing one of the finders.

Takeshi blocked its attack with his 6th Roar, The Mirror’s Reflect, sending the attack back at the akuma. Just as the akuma received its own attack, Kimiko jumped and stabbing the akuma with her naginata.

But before Kimiko could do some real damage, the akuma freed itself and moved out of the way. It created 4 clones of itself, which charged the exorcists and finders.

These, however, weren’t of the same quality as the original. Takeshi and Kimiko killed them without difficulty. Just as they finished with the last clone and prepared to go after the original, another level 2 akuma busted through the force field and launched itself towards Takeshi and Kimiko. This one wielded a spear.

The finders that were holding the second akuma changed their targets and focused on the third, managing to keep it still completely.

“I’ll take care of it.” Kimiko said, changing directions.

As Kimiko moved away, Takeshi used Wings of Destiny to fly and reach the first level 2 akuma. It tried sending another magical attack, but Takeshi easily dodged it, and then stabbed the akuma with Tenchuu.
“You’re not escaping this time. 3rd Roar, Seiryu’s 100 Dragons Force, Death.”

A hundred azure dragons exploded from within the akuma, killing instantly. Takeshi landed on the ground and moved towards Kimiko.

While Takeshi killed the first akuma, Kimiko and the second fought. Kimiko used Mars Psynergy to trap the akuma within a wall of flames. If it tried to get out it would have to go through the flames, which would hurt it badly.

But where the akuma lacked big abilities or strength, it made it up through brains. Swinging its spear around, the akuma destroyed the wall with wind, and then it jumped. But it met Kimiko on the way, slashing it with her naginata.

Then Takeshi arrived, and using a combination of Ryutsuisen and Dragon’s Breath, the second akuma was destroyed.

But one more akuma remained, and it finally managed to get out of the force field. Takeshi surrounded it with dragons from the 2nd Roar.

The third level 2 akuma was big and looked like bull. It had horns on the sides of the head. Once it noticed Takashi and Kimiko, the akuma rushed at them, pointing its horns at them.

Takashi and Kimiko waited in front of a steel wall as the bull-like akuma charged at them. Unlike the last one, this didn’t seem so smart.

At the last second Takeshi and Kimiko jumped as the akuma crashed with the wall. Wasting no time Takeshi unleashed their attacks on the now unguarded akuma.

Takeshi used Seiryu’s 100 Dragons Force while Kimiko used a combination of fire Psynergy and attacks with her naginata. The akuma received attacks from both sides. It turned around and faced Takeshi before charging at him.

Takeshi jumped over the akuma, landing on its head. Then he struck and drove Tenchuu through the akuma’s body. But it wasn’t as effective as Takeshi hoped. The muscle-mass the akuma had served as some sort of armor, which prevented Takeshi from completely killing it.

“This one is a hard-headed as they come,” commented Takeshi, charging at the akuma along with Kimiko.

She summoned a massive ball of flames while Takeshi absorbed the energy of said ball. The akuma noticed this and charged at them, again. Takeshi finished charging energy for his next attack.

Just as both Takeshi and the akuma came near to each other, Takeshi moved to the right and unleashed a fire-based Dragon’s Breath on the akuma’s head, burning it. Kimiko came along and sent an electric shock through the wound, frying its inside. Finally the last level 2 akuma was dead.

But they didn’t have time to celebrate. Not long after the death of the last akuma, a noise was heard. Takeshi and Kimiko turned around, only to find most of the finders were either dead of unconscious.

A level 3 akuma appeared. It had vermilion armor, with black hair and was tall. It also had a thick, dark red sword on its hand. It walked towards Takashi and Kimiko as it inspected the remains of the level 1s and level 2s. Then it smiled.

“Good… you were able to deal with them. I’m glad! So tell me, young exorcists, which one of you two is the strongest?” said the akuma.

“Brother … I’ll distract it while you attack it with your 3rd roar, ok?” Kimiko told Takeshi as she prepared to attack.

“Knew it …” Kimiko and Takeshi turned and looked at the akuma, surprised. But the akuma was nowhere to be seen.

“…is not this one!” The akuma appeared behind Kimiko, swinging its sword downwards. Kimiko blocked it with the shaft of her naginata. But the level 3 proved too strong and pushed her backwards. Kimiko was sent flying through the air and crashed at a nearby wall.

Takeshi watched in horror as Kimiko fall to the ground, unconscious. The akuma smiled, and then turned around to face Takeshi, who has charged at the akuma, Tenchuu drawn.

“Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryutsuisen!” Takeshi jumped high, and then slashed Tenchuu on the akuma. But it was stopped by its sword with ease. With a movement of its arm, the level 3 pushed Takeshi away.

Landing on the floor, Takeshi once again charged the akuma. Spinning around, Takeshi brought his sword from the right. “Ryukansen!”

Tenchuu, however, met the akuma’s sword once again. But before he akuma could push him away, Takeshi used his innocence. “1st Roar, Dragon’s Breath!” A big energy blast erupted from Tenchuu, involving the akuma and throwing it towards a wall.

Yes! Thought Takeshi, starting to walk towards Kimiko. Then he heard a noise behind him. Turning around, he saw the akuma moving towards him.

“Hu hu hu, you’re quiet good, exorcist. Now it’s my turn!” Launching itself forward, the akuma stood before Takeshi within seconds. Then it slashed Takeshi on the chest.

Takeshi jumped back at the last second. A second later and he would’ve been gone. Takeshi wasted no time and activated the 5th Roar, Heavenly Armor. Then he jumped over the akuma, and using the roof as support, Takeshi jumped again towards the akuma. The akuma have seen everything, and knowing Takeshi was coming from above him, it also jumped, slashing its sword around.

“Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Kuzuryusen!”

Takeshi hit the akuma in 9 different places at the same time, with himself getting cut on the side of his torso. The akuma fell to the ground hard. Facing the place the akuma fell, Takeshi started walking towards it.

Suddenly, the akuma stood up and fire erupted around it.

“Rejoice exorcist! I will show you my abilities! Not only am I good with the sword, I can also control fire!” And waiting for no reply, the akuma launched towards Takeshi.

Takeshi saw the akuma’s weapon engulf in flames. Takeshi sheathed Tenchuu and got in a Battoujutsu stance. The akuma came nearer and swung its sword.

“Sword of Infernal Flames!”

“Battoujutsu!”

Both swords met, clashing heavily as both of their masters put their weight on their swords. But the flames started transferring from the akumas sword towards Takeshi. Then the flames exploded in front of Takeshi and the akuma.

Takeshi hit a wall as he tried to escape the explosion. He suffered some minor burns, but thanks to Komui’s suit and Takeshi’s scales, he escaped most of the damage. Looking at the fire that was created to the explosion, and front it the akuma walked out without any injuries.

Damn it … at this rate I won’t defeat it … thought Takeshi. Sheathing Tenchuu once again, Takeshi walked towards the akuma again.

“Haven’t your lesson yet, exorcist? You can’t kill me!

“We’ll see about that…”

The akuma charged Takeshi, engulfing its sword in flames again. Takeshi waited, and as its attack were almost on Takeshi’s neck, he unleashed his attack.

“Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki!”

A beyond god-speed Battoujutsu was unleashed, and as Tenchuu’s blade touched the level 3’s armor, Takeshi unleashed Dragon’s Breath.

The akuma was pushed upwards, and then it landed on the floor with a great sound. Takeshi kneeled on the floor, supporting himself with Tenchuu.

Then Takeshi saw movements in front of him. The akuma stood out of the flames, with a scar on its armor protecting its chest area.

“No way…”

“That was interesting, exorcist! Now I want to kill you all the more!”

Then without warning, the akuma leapt towards Takeshi, slashing his chest. Takeshi tried to protect himself, but he was too tired from the Ougi that he couldn’t to anything. As the akuma passed by his side, Takeshi fell to the ground.

Kimiko wake up, only to see her brother falling to the ground with a wound on his chest. “NO!!!”

Kimiko charged the level 3, swinging her naginata around. It was blocked with ease by the akuma and its sword. While Kimiko fought the akuma, something was going on inside Takeshi.


“You lost.”

“Tell me something I don’t know…”

“You’re going to die. Along with our sister and the rest inside Headquarters.”

“I c-can’t let that happen…”

“But you can’t do anything in your current state. While I …”

A golden-eyed Battousai stood on a white room, with a black Tenchuu on his hand, resting on his shoulder. This Battousai, unlike Takeshi, had flowing, red hair. Takeshi was seated on the floor, with his back lending on the wall and the golden Tenchuu sheathed, and supported on his shoulder.

“No! I can’t let you get in this. You only want to take over and kill anything that moves. That’s all you care about!”

“I care about your wellbeing too, you know that.”

“You only care because caring benefits you!”

“True, but I care nonetheless. Now let me out, and together we will kill this enemy!.”

“No…”

“Without my help, everyone will die, and then you will unable to stop anyone or anything.”

“Leave me alone…”

“And then, how will you go on and achieve your goal. You need me, and you know it.”

“LEAVE!”

Takeshi and Battousai felt another presence nearby. Both of them looked around the room, but they couldn’t see anything. Then a golden light appeared, blinding them both. The new presence pushed Battousai, making him leave the room. Then the presence said in a strong, thick voice.

“Exorcist, I’ll lend you my strength. Wield it and use it well for the good of humanity.”


Outside, the akuma parried an attack from Kimiko with its armor as if it was nothing. Then it charged Kimiko, aiming for her head.

Takeshi stood up and ran towards the fight. And just as the level 3’s sword was nearing Kimiko’s face; it was blocked by Takeshi, who used Tenchuu to parry it away from Kimiko.

“Brother!” exclaimed Kimiko happily, seeing her brother on his feet once again. “What?! You’re still alive?” asked the akuma, looking at Takeshi.

Takeshi ignored the akuma and swung Tenchuu, pushing the akuma backwards. The akuma landed a few meters away from them, still looking at Takeshi.

“Kimiko, step back, this might get a little rough,” said Takeshi as he held Tenchuu in front of him. Kimiko did as she was told and moved away.

“What are you going to do exorcist? I already showed you that you can’t kill me at your level!” said the akuma to Takeshi, as it started to laugh. Takeshi ignored it and said, “That is why… Tenshou Kyuutouryuu Level 3 … ACTIVATE!”

A great amount of energy erupted from Tenchuu, surrounding Takeshi in a bright, golden light. It was so bright that both the level 3 akuma and Kimiko were forced to protect their eyes from it. As the light disappeared, Takeshi stood forwards. Kimiko glared at him. He didn’t go through any changes, but Tenchuu did. The sword looked a little bigger, as well as the silver blade gained a golden touch to it, making it look more glamorous and omnipotent.

The akuma simply looked at him, with a questionable looked. Then it smiled.

Lifting its arm, the akuma fireballs towards Takeshi. Takeshi simply pointed Tenchuu at them and said:

“6th Roar, Saphira’s Mirror Reflect.”

A force field appeared around Takeshi, absorbing the impact and sending the fireballs back at the akuma. The level 3 jumped over them, and flew high in the sky.

“4th Roar, Slifer’s Wings of Destiny.”

A pair of dragon’s wings sprouted from Takeshi’s back. Takeshi jumped and flew towards the akuma that was on the air. Both Takeshi and the akuma exchanged blows while on the air. Both Takeshi and the akuma exchanged blows while in mid-air. They slashed, blocked, kicked, dodged.

Then Takeshi parried a kick with his left hand, and folding the wings close to his back, spun vertically, connecting with Tenchuu on the akuma’s shoulder.

“Ryukansen-Arashi … 1st Roar, Fafnir’s Dragon Breath!”

A huge energy blast ejected from Tenchuu, throwing the level 3 to the ground. But Takeshi hasn’t finished yet, and soon followed it.

“2nd Roar, Kurtulmak’s Nest of Broken Eggs!”

2 big eggs appeared on the air, from which 2 horse-size dragons flew out. They quickly grabbed the akuma, as they fall they shot fireballs from they mouth. Then after clashing the akuma against the ground, they flew away, landing next to Kimiko. As the akuma stood up, Takeshi landed a few meters away from it, stabbing Tenchuu on the ground.

“3rd Roar, Seiryu’s 1000 Dragons Force, Eye of the Storm.”

Many portals appeared around Takeshi, from which 1000 azure dragons flew out. The ones near the akuma quickly flew towards it, and they exploded as they made contact. The rest flew to the sky, forming a cloud of spiritual energy not far above from Takeshi. Then, with no warning at all, the dragons came crashing to the ground, like lightning from a storm, with Takeshi at its center.

After the last dragon had descended, the akuma walked towards Takeshi. It could still fight, but it was heavily wounded after Takeshi’s constant attacks. When it was close enough the akuma slashed Takeshi on the chest.

“5th Roar, Glaedr’s Heavenly Armor.”

A golden armor made of dragon’s scale appeared on Takeshi body before the sword could make contact. The akuma looked at Takeshi with puzzled eyes. Takeshi lifted Tenchuu and swung it downwards. It hit the akuma’s shoulder, but was ineffective due to the level 3’s armor.

“See?! You cannot cut me exorcist!” shouted the akuma, laughing maniacally.

“Quite regrettable…” replied Takeshi.

“Regrettable indeed, that your life was in vain, and your death will prevent nothing. Now Die!”

Takeshi looked at the place around him. It was a total mess, with walls turn into dust and the floor broken. Then he closed his eyes and said, “Regrettable that this didn’t end sooner.”

“7th Roar, Yinglong’s Claw of Fury.”

Tenchuu was involved in a green aura, which looked like small flames. Then without much effort, Takeshi drove Tenchuu through the akuma’s body.

“Farewell, akuma…”

“Impossible…” said the akuma, as it fell to the ground, dead.

Kimiko ran towards Takeshi, who just sheathed Tenchuu away. Kimiko healed most of Takeshi’s wounds. Then she took him farther inside to look at his wounds. After healing most of them, Kimiko moved towards the gate to see the situation outside.

When Takeshi was sure she wasn't looking, he cut his own with Tenchuu.

"8th Roar, Io's Blood Chain."

Blood spilt on the floor, and then evaporated in an instant...

[HolyMoon]

Athena..

As she was watching the other exorcists, some level ones had surrounded her, hoping to caught her off-guard by shooting dozens of bullets. Jumping back in a round shape to avoid the upcoming attacks, she then jumped high around the level ones in one swift dash. There she realized that there were some butterflies among the akumas, intending to taste her flesh and blood.

"So beautiful, yet so ugly in their inside..," muttered the girl while spinning her long ribbon around her, still in the air, facing the front with a half-closed eyes while saying, "Eraser"

Solid colors flew out from her ribbon, piercing the akumas and the butterflies around her in a second after they were released. Athena landed on the ground swiftly with small particels of akumas and butterflies fell around her, turning into dust before it touched the ground.

Dimitri coughed up another batch of blood as his body tried to rid itself of the disease that the noah had infected him with. It would become a problem if it infected his body for too long and he had not the technique to rid him self of the annoyance, he need to finish this fight soon.

"You hid behind your bugs and akuma, your cowardness amazes me" Dimitri yelled at the women noah. And with that Dimitri's powers flared and washed over the battle field as he prepared for a massive attack. Now the noah was smart and the massive amounts of power that where flowing from Dimitri told her that she did not want to be on the end of that attack but Dimitri was going to make sure that she was not going anywhere.

"Your misdeeds have gone on long enough and today you will face judgment" Dimitri said in cold and dark tone that seemed to almost be someone elses voice.

And with that before the noah could even react the thunder lines shot forward and pierced the noah's arms. She tired to move but it was like she was nailed to an invisible bored.

"The suffering and pain you noah cause is unforgivable" Dimitri said as the area around the noah began to crackle with energy

"We Exorcists will defeat the earl and his worthless cause" With nothing but determination in his voice.

"Holy cross" Dimitri whispered and a huge cross of thunder energy enveloped the noah with her pinned at it center. The noah was helpless as the multitudes of thunder energy coursed thought the cross and decimated the helpless noah. Dimitri would of keeped the attack up for longer but that dam disease reared its head with Dimitri exerting so much power. He coughed up another batch of blood and the cross faded as the smoking noah fell from the sky and hit the ground with satisfying crunch.

(( GOing to post my stats tonight, gomen got some stuff with my class going on. *bows respectfully*))

The sound of the insistent beep let Angie know that her time was up. In seconds her catlike body began to reduced until she turn back to normal. Her bandage was already full of blood and some drops running down her left tight. Again the sensation of feeling powerless was there pushing her to the ground. She never knew she began to cry until her cheeks were wet with the tears running down like a river. Why? Why this was happening. She was gifted by God with incredible power yet she was not able to destroy the evil or at least destroy it. Angie torture herself long enough for Rashar to slap her mentally.

"Get a grip on yourself Angelique, this is not over..."
"But she is so powerful and so..." interrupted Angie only to stop at Rashar's mocking laughther.
"I dont care how powerful she is. I dont care if she kills us. What I only care is to feel the pleasure of sinking my teeth on her flesh to drain her life into my body to feel that power taking over me. You said you wanted a truce and also you said you wanted things your way. But this is not working Angelique look around. What you see? Is this YOUR WAY working? LOOK and tell me this is what you aimed for?" demand Rashar with bitterness and resentment.

The scene was so out of one of Dante's inferno descriptions. Her home the Headquarters was been crush to dust. Extending her hand she tried to reach for it but then she closed her hand into a fist and hit the ground. A creepy sound came from behind making her turned around. A group of towns people came slowly toward her. their face completely expressionless. Like robots. Angie smelled the air, death plain and simple.
Her body tremble with a sudden mix of fear, frustration, impotence, murder. She then remember another piece of her past a piece that gave her the answer. With difficulty she stood on her feet and fold her hands. Lowering her face she began to recite a prayer for those who were dead in the battle.

"I'm sorry my love ones. But I wont back down and I wont go back now either. Innocence Activate." said in a whisper.

Once again Angelique took her feral form. The alarm sounded like crazy but she didnt even heard it anymore. Her eyes were closed and her body began to glow with a strange red aura. Her eyes now were ruby red when she opened them up.

("I want to be strong, I need to be strong, and I know I cant do it without you. Lend me your strength for this time. I will keep my promise my friend and I will not back down."" was her last thought before being engulf into the red light.

The zombie a total of 10 stopped at the intensity of the light. Oblivious at the changes before their eyes the waited for the light to dim gradually until it was gone. They resume their walk but some of them merely made it a few steps before falling to the ground into pieces. The cat was gone instead a tall black woman was standing before her work. She was reaching the eight foot feet tall, with a curvy body barely covered with what;s left of her bodysuit. A long black mane falling like a cascade moved with the breeze of the wind while her tail moved around erratically. Her facial features were more human like while her body completely looked like a fierce amazon. After the kill she walk slowly savoring the ground and stretching like if she was waking up from a long dream.

"Oh My, how good is this feeling of...Freedom." said with a sarcastic chuckle.

Once she stood before the scene in front of her she scanned the area for her prey. It was not difficult to find her. Already engaged in another battle. Smiling and licking her lips in anticipation she took some seconds to acknowledge her pros and cons. But then she started to run almost like lightning toward her target. She could had planned something but then again thanks to her planning it was the reason why she now was rushing toward her prey. Adrenaline rushing thru her veins, murder on the fuel of her desire. Rashar increased her speed more to be there in less than seconds. Her excitement almost made her drool in anticipation although she made a promise of not hurting humans she could not guarantee anything to Angie before switching. After all this was war and casualties were bound to happened.

Hiro sat down on a nearby random boulder and wiped his sweat away. he had been defeating akuma after akuma as they lunged themselves towards him Hiro had never fought so many akumas before since he began being and exorcist.

Dammit...if this continues on we will run out of stamina...

Hiro was panting a bit since he had been fighting non-stop for the past...half an hour? He didn't know what time it was since he didn't wear a watch so it felt like he was fighting for a really really long time.

Must have been an hour...Man how long does Keisuke need to sleep for?

Just as Hiro was getting his breath back about 5 level 1 akumas and 2 level 2s lunged at him from behind, Hiro slashed them into pieces with his ice blade that was on his arm.

It's no use just fighting the akumas...we need to defeat the Noahs! If we don't then the akumas will just keep attacking.

In the distance Hiro saw Dimitri fighting with a Noah so he decided to go over and help his friend, a spark of lightning crackled where Dimitri was and a burnt Noah was sent flying upwards and the burnt body came crashing down back onto the ground with a crunch.

"I see you've improved a lot since I last saw you fight." Hiro said impressed.

"Creative.."

Ruth smiled as the exorcist began to fall on his knees, coughing blood. The attack was certainly magnificent, she admitted, but the pathogen's jobs were taking its toll on the puny human.

Using this chance, Ruth then began to howl and scream with another ear-piercing sound. Glass windows began to shatter immediately back in the Headquarters, as the exorcist began to squirm as his ears bled. The thunder lines which held Ruth down disintegrated as the exorcist couldn't focus on his power.

"Silly boy, the way to win is not running out to battle like a piece of meat."

Showing the fool what Ruth herself was capable of, she slashed the exorcist's torso with her talon-like hands and left him for dead. She noticed a new exorcist came by and smiled at him, but business must be done for now.

"If you'll excuse me there's a wall waiting to crumble," Ruth scolded in a cold tone as she began to use her wings to fly away. The barrage of infested Akumas had successfully brought down another part of the wall, as Ruth landed in front of the giant gate readying herself for the next attack.

Nero

Seems my wights are too weak yet. Very annoying.

Gritting his teeth, Nero silently approaches the brother and sister. Having watched them and listened, Nero had learned that these two were siblings. Just the kind of bond he could have the most fun with.

From behind Kimiko, Nero shows himself, and grips the back of her head with his palm.

"You!" Takeshi shouts, but does not move yet due to the precarious position.

"Seems you don't know how to treat my pets, therefore, I will mistreat yours." Focusing, Nero pushes his own will into Kimiko's mind. The reverse psychosis has been used.

Releasing her and backing away, Takeshi looks a bit confused at why he would simply release her, but instantly notices something wrong with his sisters eyes. They look dull, glazed over.

"What did you do?" He demands of Nero, as Kimiko just stares.

"Siblings are wonderful. They love each other so much, desire to fight for the other, to protect each other. Unfortunately, the more this girl desires to do so for you, the stronger the new desire to destroy you shall be. Now, Kimiko, your brother there, don't you have some things to do hmm?"

Kimiko's mind has been temporarily altered, everything she desires reversed.

"Brother." Kimiko rasps, as she readies her weapon an begins advancing.

((wight retribution! Now Kimiko will be attacking Takeshi, unless she doesn't really care much for him >.> 2 posts from her and 1 from him and the technique will expire.))

[Yamamoto]

"What a tall gate.." Ruth grinned as she landed in front of the infamous Eastern Gate. Adorned with intricate oriental designs and various talisman seals, Ruth only spitted at the sight of the very gate she was going to destroy. Two-thirds of the gate were in ruins and now it was time to seal their fate.

Ruth raised her hand, signaling her Infested Akuma to aim towards the gate. With a slight smile she lowered her hand quickly as all her Akuma began to fire simultaneously. A continuous barrage of maggot-ridden flesh fired at high speeds bore holes into the gate as Ruth then finished the job with a powerful slash.

The gate came crashing down as the humans nearby took cover, some unfortunate enough to be crushed by the falling marble pieces. Compared what Ruth had in store for those alive- they had a better stroke of luck.

Ruth reverted back into her 'normal' and preferred Noah form as she entered the gates. Her writhing black hair returned to a golden blond as the butterflies reappeared beside Ruth.

Ruth turned left and right to find no one stopping her. "What no welcoming party?"

She then open here arms as a new swarm of butterflies flew from her towards the halls of the Asian Headquarters. "

"Suit yourselves then."

Hiro looked at where the Noah was flying to and realised that the gate had been destroyed and that the Akumas were swarming in.

Dammit!......KEISUKE!

Hiro conjured up yet another of his infamous flying ice disk, he grabbed Dimitri and he flew at top speed towards the HQ, he saw the Noah who was fighting
Dimitri before was sending more of teh blood sucking butterflies who swarmed into the door of the HQ.

Gotta hurry....

Hiro gave Dimitri to a couple of finders and he flew into the HQ, pursuing the butterflies, they were reaching closer and closer to the place where Keisuke was sleeping soundly, Hiro was faster than the butterflies so he quickly caught up and he overtook them then spun around, he froze the butterflies individually and he used them as his weapons and sent them flying to the Akumas that was coming in from the door. Keisuke stirred at the noise and opened his eyes slowly.

"Wuss daa matter?" Keisuke mumbled sleepily.

"Hey...finally awake?" Hiro said whilst grinning abit.

"Mornin' Hiro...Wasst's with all daa noise?"

Hiro sent a handful of water flying towards Keisuke which hit his face((Hiro can also control water since it's part of ice...?=P)) which brung Keisuke to his sense immediately.

"Wha-"

"Hurry up and help over here...Akumas and Noah were attacking us whilst you were sleeping."

"WHAAAT!!! Why didn't you wake me up?"

But before Hiro had time to answer about 5 level 2s had lunged towards him but he was too busy talking to Keisuke so he didn't have time to react so they hit him on teh head and everywhere else.

"Hiro..?" Keisuke whimpered.

Hiro made the ice form a blade once again on his arm and he slashed through all of the Akumas on top of him at once.

"I'm not that easy to beat you know..." Hiro said smirking.

(( I think someone missed my post Kensei lol. But is ok))

Rashar accelerates at max speed until she was near the now crumbled gate. Jumping high on the sky she landed next to Ruth who was absort on her own killing spree. When Rashar spoke Ruth was a bit startled but turned to her left side.

"You know First of all that hair is terrible, I mean talons with mane, thats stupid. And maggots? Please ***** be more classy, some serpents or snakes, but maggots ewww."
"Ha you think you can make angry with those stupid comments exorcist. You dont know who I am?" said Ruth with mockery.
"No, who? A villian with terrible taste for fashion and coordination? You might be a powerful adversary but lets face it. This is about image and yours just dont fit with the landscaping." said Rashat still behaving like a fashion guru.
"And what you think to do little girl? Cut..." Ruth never finished the sentence since she moved as fast as she could to avoid getting hit.
"Really? Although you seemed to regenerate I think short hair suits you better." said Rashar while holding a big part of Ruth's hair.

Ruth touch her hair and noticed a big chunk of hair missing, also a wet liquid was going down her cheek. She rub the drop to discover it was blood, her blood. Looking again at the exorcist she noticed the panther was different from the last time. Now it was a were panther on two legs almost human. Licking her lips Ruth took her time to heal and apparently the Cat woman was also waiting.

"Not going to attack? Are you stupid enough to wait till I get full power? My my you really are stupid." said Ruth with her usual arrogance.
"And dont you think that I might want to test my strength with you? I mean I want to now how powerful I am and fighting a weakling like you in that state is not fair." After a few seconds of silence." But on the other hand" she said moving almost telerporting from one side to next to Ruth.

"I never been this patient" and with this she starts to attack.

[Damage to Ruth -3 points since I manage to cut her hair and scratch her cheek]

(( I cant stay log on too much I will see you guys tomorrow))

Dimitri had to learn to be more mindful of situations, he could tell he on a level playing field in terms of power but with her simple attack had given her the advantage. He was far from out of the fight though and the noah where as cocky as ever just leaving like that. Hiro had come to his timely aid and that was also a big help. He would have to remember to thank him.

Standing up the yellowish ting that his skin had taken from the disease was slowly staring to fade. Being in the clean air once again had given his body the chance to remove the pathogen. Normally his Innocence would be able to fight off any foreign body that entered it but that womens attacks where special, even besting his immune system. He would have to be wary of that in the future, even the strongest fighter could be bested by illness.

The finders around him scurried about as they franticly where trying to hold the defenses of HQ. So far they had been unable to stall the advance of the akuma and there noah masters and it was starting to show

"Just how many forces have the noah mustered, they have to start to weaken sometime" Dimitri huffed

Thanks to the quick medical treatment of a finder some his wounds had been healed and and he was ready to get back into the frey. With a quick burst of speed, Dimitri was away dashing away from the group of finders and was headed back toward the gate.

"Tch. I thought I left you back there woman," Ruth smiled, as she licked the blood of her fingers. "Why maggots you say?"

Ruth then began to transform back into her true form, as the pupils in her eyes began to disappear, revealing a soulless white void. Her voice itself sounded deeper, at the same time higher- like three voices were speaking at the same time.

"They are the agents of decay, they do not kill honey, they only feed on what has fallen. They're pretty important if you think about it- i mean without them, who would dispose of the daily corpses that fall before us?"

The woman charged towards Ruth with incredible speed, but Ruth did not budge, only using her wings to cover her face as her right wing suffered a deep wound. Ruth then pointed towards the dying exorcists in the battlefield outside.

"I mean, do you really want to live in a world with piling corpses every day? The cold dead stares of your loved ones forever lodged at you as you pass by every morning?"

The exorcist lunged for another attack, this time Ruth stepped to the side as she missed, almost hitting a wall.

"Plus...snakes and spiders are so cliche..You should get used to the sight," Ruth smiled, as she stood tall, not bothering to defend against the lady's next attack. Her right hand bleeding from clutching the exorcist right after her strike, her smile grew wider as her left hand ripped a piece of flesh from the exorcist's shoulder.

"Monstrosity."

The ripped flesh began to expand rapidly and unnaturally, as a dark red aura enveloped it. Soon a giant golem of flesh came to life as it broke apart the ceilings and walls, signaling its birth with a loud roar.

"Now why don't you greet your child, woman. Oh wait...better yet, let your friends meet him."

[Damage to Ruth: 10
Damage to Angelique: 7

Ruth sent the Monstrosity outside the gate to the other exorcists. Gang up on it if you will.

The swarm of butterflies flew toward the halls, driven to the enticing blood of the humans running about. Martosu emerged from behind ruble to lessen the severity of the butterflies impact on the people inside HQ.

"Level 2 Innocence, activate," sighed Martosu. He launched five rods of compressed electricity into the middle of the swarm,
