Part 2 : Battle beyond expression

B-man seemed deep in thought. Or at least that was what it looked like to Beelzebub as she flew next to him- You seem thoughtful human -she said as she kept pace with ease. She took a moment to reflect that normally in a situation like this she would remain silent, and simply focus on the mission, but she found she was genuinely interested in what he thought, strange- what are you thinking?

-B-man blinked -Hm? huh? -he glanced back then chuckled slightly as he stood normally as they flew on- Just remembering what your mother told me once, you trying to have "fun" with me in Hell in your human form. I never thought to ask if I hurt you or not when you hit the water fountain...and well to be honest. -looking back at the horizon as the started their last leg of the trip over the lake- your mother scares me a lot because she knew everything already.

Then of course yourself, I can sense just how powerful you are well...not sure what scares me more. You because of what I can sense or her because I can't sense her at all.. -Beelzebub contemplated what he had said- Honestly speaking? -she paused momentarily- You caught me off guard, you're stronger that I thought, but in terms of hurting me, no, even in that form it would take much more effort to hurt me. Though your concern in noted and appreciated. As for my mother, despite how powerful I am, she is far, far more powerful, -she turned to glance at him- my mother is likely the most powerful being you will ever encounter, bar none. Unless your luck truly is terrible.

-she said the last part in jest- In truth though, you should find it an honour your creator has spoken to you. You mortals, human and anthro kind alike always seem interested in meeting your "God". -B-man looked back at her, while his face had a neutral expression his eyes still had that bit of fear in them. Gods, angels, demons, the devil- My Creator huh, I'd feel better if I didn't know any of this at all really...ya know.. I didn't think the ruler of all hell would be so...-he tried to think of a word- Personable at times, or maybe I am just so comfortable to a point with speaking with higher beings?

-he shook his head- Ah forget it, i'm just spewing garbage I bet. Why would anything stop you from killing me after all this is said and done.-she chuckled somewhat darkly- ... what would stop me indeed. -she grinned and looked ahead once more, not willing to go further into her reply, the lake glittered finally as the clouds cleared over the horizon, down below sat the power plant. everything seemed calm from a distance, B-man did his best to focus his mind and try to feel out anything-

-Beelzebub questioned him as the wind started to increase- How far are we from the nearest human population? -he shouted over the wind as they flew- Maybe two to five kilometres! It's right by one of the major highways as well!-she replied while giving him a curious look- I don't know what that means!- he pointed to the nearby like strip of road that had traffic running by the station, he started to slow down his cloud as they hovered almost close by the station. Just far enough where no one would think of looking up in the air at least yet-

hmm...it looks normal..I can sense people inside..-Beelzebub commented next- As can I ... I do not sense the demon, this is troubling, maybe he has learned how to mask his presence from another demon?- B-man shrugged slightly-...not really anyway to become invisible ...hmm...and I'd be arrested if I just dropped in to look around.-she glanced at him, then at the building.- Then perhaps I should take a look myself.

B-man grimaced inside then spoke- Okay...okay...I'll go down a look...-a deep breath later he jumped off his cloud, in a few seconds he landed behind some of the smaller buildings used for storage. Seconds later he was bolting between some areas to hide, things seemed calm or at least on the surface. trying to be quite was getting difficult as there was a lot of gravel around, as some people passed he grimaced as he stepped on some making some noise, yet the people didn't turn to look they just kept walking-

-Beelzebub watched quietly from the sky, her wings flapping slowly- Give me a signal if you need my assistance, mortal. -she told him directly into his mind, B-man didn't move from his spot as the people walked, reaching down he picked up a stone and in a act which would make Belle raise her brows he threw the stone hard making it skip off the ground and hit a wall near by the people...still they didn't make any effort or acknowledgment- what in the hell? it's like.... -he got up and moved out into the open, as the "people" turned around and walked back and went right through his body- projections? oh god.

Beelzebub spoke to herself - yet we can sense them, how? -Belle landed beside a second later- ... they fool not only our eyes but our senses ... this is powerful magic.-B-man winced- We need to get the others here quickly, it would be suicide to go in just us...but if they try and teleport... 0Just then a voice spoke in their minds- Oh, you can't ...leave .... just yet

Beelzebub looked around and snarled- Show yourself ... -she growled while B-man looked around trying to get a pin on whatever the thing was, Beelzebub raised her guard, but couldn't detect anyone or anything- ... revel yourself cretin! You dare hide from Beelzebub!? -With a wince B-man made the first move by bolting straight for the main building as fast as he could-

Oh no ..., I'm not done with either of you -something stopped B-man in his tracks then began lifting him up into the air. Beelzebub turned and looked at B-Man in alarm- Mortal! -she called out only for a sudden blast of something to knock her off her feet and send her flying across the pavement, B-man gasped as he felt as if he had hit a brick wall in mid stride-

-B-Man was tilted a little so his gaze was forward, then something started to appear, whatever it was, was like a ghost, it was there but only just, a distortion of reality which gave the "figure" it's dimension and shapes. But there were barely any features to this "thing"- It would seem the human has brought an ally, and a powerful one at that ... -the same figure appeared before Beelzebub as she got to her feet- they do not make Devils like they used to, and certainly not like you. -the other said as it regarded Beelzebub-

B-man grimaced trying to focus on the "outline" before him- Who the hell are you?...-the being before him responded- It doesn't matter. You won't be among this plane for much longer mortal, my lord has nearly completed his work here.B-man let out a yell of what seemed like frustration, yet his body started to change to a shade of crimson before the aura engulfed his body. Belle would hear his thoughts for a brief moment- if I can just get my level high enough maybe they can sense it! -with that his energy went up nine times-

-The figure tilted its head as did the other beside Beelzebub. While distracted her fist became engulfed in hellfire and attacked it, the figure dissipated but the other seemed uncaring to the attack.- And just what do you think you're doing? Maybe I should find out ... -B-man suddenly felt a presence force its way into his mind, Pushing all worry aside his energy jumped that much more for a brief second to thirty times his max, at his dojo the arch angels and demons felt the sudden spike-

-Gabriel blinked then spun in the direction of the energy - That's a signal if I've known one. Something's happened, lets go! -SKy was rather alarmed as he tried to follow- that couldn't have been B-man! could it?! -back at the power plant B-man powered down trying to conserve what ever energy he had left, and what his body could handle-

-Beelzebub felt the mental strain going on inside B-Man and pushed herself inside his head- W_hat's this? You challenge me Demon lord?_ -the figure chuckled as it turned its attention to her. B-Man would feel both the figure and Beelzebub in his head, seemingly battling one another inside his mind, each one trying to the other out. He didn't know what would happen next, or was it just the moment the insanity would kick in and drive him over the edge. His mind was becoming clouded as the two battled, any more and he would pass out from the strain-

-Beelzebub's eyes illuminated brightly as a growl started growing in her throat growing louder and louder until she was roaring at the top of her lungs. Suddenly the other presence shot out of B-Man and the "figure" seemed to flicker in and out of existence while looking as if it had been struck, a hand shooting up to its head as if in pain-Powerful, yes. You're very powerful "Lord Beelzebub", but you are no Arch Demon, come in if you dare, we are waiting.

B-man gasped then hit the ground panting, the veins in his head were pulsating as his heart rate had jumped up so high. his vision started to clear and his heart rate began to return to normal as he managed to catch a glimpse of the figure. Beelzebub rushed over to him, he would hear her heavy feet pounding hard into the ground- Are you alright!? -she called to him -with a grimace he forced himself off the gravel walkway and onto his feet- y.. yeah...man I didn't expect to be able to multiply my Kayo-Ken that much without warming up... w... what the hell was that ..that "thing" ?

...my guess it was "Malfross" The Arch Demon's tormentor. -she growled and looked around- He said they were almost finished, we cannot wait for the others, we have to go in now! -Slowly he turned back to the entrance to the power plant rubbing his right temple - Tormentor huh? I'd like to torment that mind of his.. -with a wince he started towards the doors- come on ..hope my Tengoku-Ken isn't that rusty, hope the people are still alive.

-she opened the door, paused then shook her head and looked to the floor and the walls- ... I find it highly unlikely. -blood was everywhere, mangled bodies, torn up, burnt, some with exploded heads, all littering the floor- there we no mercy shown. even still they can't just blow something up and set off a chain reaction, there are a lot of those safety systems involved...at least I hope so -the smell made his nostrils flair the odour wasn't something he was used to, nor the gore of it all-..Sifu give me strength to get through this...

-Beelzebub glanced around the hallways as they continued- you are right, the likelihood is the "Tormentor" is using humans to start the chain reaction. -she looked to him- why take the information yourself when you can force those with the knowledge to do your work for you?-B-man nodded grimly -yeah...-following the signs they made their way to the main control room and chambers, as they drew closer they could sense the demons inside and worst of all Jack. A Shiver ran down B-mans spine-...and I bet he isn't even powered up yet either..

-Beelzebub glanced at him- ... do not fret, you are not alone this time. -he replied yet he still wasn't sure of himself- heh...yeah...-sweat was started to bead at his temples slightly, they approached the doors finally , through the glass they could see at least two dozen of the workers actually still alive, huddled in a corner- a female demon...but where is the other one? -the lights were starting to flicker higher and lower as the stations controls were manipulated-

-Beelzebub glanced to the female demon- ... A succubus. -she said quietly- likely Freya that Gabriel mentioned. -B-man jerked back and leaned on the wall, his breathing was getting close to a pant- god I am way over my head right now -he glanced back through the window then back to the ceiling- how do I get into these things? They likely know we are coming, Freya is likely their first line of defence. I could take her, or you can while the other goes forward.

But where is Oggstrosse? I can sense him somewhere...yet it's like he is all around us..-she looked around- Perhaps he is ... -she glared at the shadows lining the walls, he looked down at his hands then started to remove his wrist and ankle bands -They know we are here...what the hell all out assault I guess is our only option.

Very well -she grinned as her eyes lit up with fire,B-man glanced at her for a moment then looked at the doors, taking a few deep breaths as he placed his hands on the doors then forced them right off their hinges hard, with all the strength he could muster he charged in then slammed his right fist down hard into the floor- Power Geyser!! - blue white tendrils of energy shot over just in front of Freya then erupted upwards as the power geyser shot upwards and blew out the rooftop, In the distance the Arch Angels and demons alike could see it parting the clouds-

Gabriel roared out at his forces - COME ON! -his angelic aura grew in strength, his speed increasing dramatically. Meanwhile Beelzebub stepped out from cover, her fists ablaze with hellfire- Show yourself succubus! -B-man bolted towards the hostages full tilt once more, Sparks of energy from the damaged portion of the roof top sprayed the area- person: w.. what now?! -B-man skidded to a stop- B: It's okay! I'm here to help you! just stay down and take cover! -looking back he grimaced as the lights were starting to flicker again as the power surge, then one by one the bulbs started to go out but just like that they came back to life then grew that much more bright till they finally exploded.

Glass sprayed everywhere in the massive control containment area, arcs of electricity shot out in all directions as one arc came right for Beelzebub then shot off in another direction towards B-man who dove as the bolt slammed into the floor breaking up the concrete deep enough that it was hitting the large power cables below, bright white electrical energy started to form a body as it stomped out of the hole it made-

-Beelzebub charged ahead towards the electrical figure, her blazing fist slammed into its forming body knocking it backwards several feet. The demon hit the ground only to disperse once more into electricity with surged around the whole room- Enough parlour tricks! -Not a moment later lightning lanced out from several different power conduits and struck the demonic dragoness causing her to convulse and roar out in pain. The attack lasted on briefly before the arcs of lightning joined together one more arced through the air before slamming into the ground once more, rapidly shifting into a crouched figure.

A very large figure, The demon stood to its full height its beady little eyes settling on Beelzebub then on B-man, B-man grimaced but knew he couldn't do anything to help, instead he started to help a few of the hostages file out by a emergency exit. In the distance there was the sound of a sonic boom, followed by a loud landed that kicked up debris from the hole B-man had made as Gabriel and the two other brothers landed -

The Lightning Demon roared out at the Angels- Gabriel! -he growled then looked to B-Man- I'll deal with you later! -The creature roared, morphing back into electricity and arced through power cables and disappeared. Sky landed a few seconds later panting heavily, then rushed over to B-man gasping-.. w.w...what did I miss? -B-man stepped back as he spoke- a lot.. now let's get these people out of here!

Both of them started for the door to help the last group out...then each one of the hostages started to suddenly and grotesquely become enveloped by the shadows, in a jerk B-man pulled a few of the people back- GET AWAY FROM THE SHADOWS!!! -a human reached out begging for help before the darkness overwhelmed them. Cries of agony spilled out from the shadows before grotesquely changing into a deep throated growls-

Sky grimaced- it's him.. isn't it?...-Gabriel frowned but simply nodded. They all watched as the shadows peeled back revealing a sort of demon, human parts were still recognizable but the creature was grotesque in appearance, Gabriel let the air out of it -Oggstrosse's Corrupted -the corrupted demons inhaled before shrieking loudly, B-man winced and moved back that much more, more angels and demons arrived from Gabriels forces and Beelzebub's-

-Beelzebub got to her feet, just as something else, something fast knocked her backwards with a harsh drop kick. Beelzebub hit the ground with a heavy thud and groaned in pain. Moments later B-Man would feel something climb over him from behind just as the underside of a foot came down harshly between his eyes and knocked him to the floor. The creature landed, the angels now realizing they were under attack. Raphael moved forward, his sword ablaze with angelic power and swiped at the creature only to miss as the creature evaded, rolled back to a safer distance-

Gabriel spun around yelling - Freya! -the Succubus queen simply grinned at them all, and spread her arms outwards- Is this the best you all have? You've grown soft -she spat as she crossed her arms while Sky growled as he shouted to some angels and demons whom were nearby- LET'S MOVE THESE PEOPLE OUT! -B-man meanwhile was rolling onto his stomach and was trying to get up- what the hell hit me?..

-Beelzebub got to her feet quickly and shook her head to regain her awareness while Freya looked around then smirked, her wings unfolded and she back flipped high into the air, Gabriel shouted over the first stage alarms - AFTER HER! -The arch angels were too focused on her to notice the surprise attack. Beelzebub realized the action just in time, her wings unfurled and she burst towards B-Man, grabbing him off the ground just as the whole floor sparked and arced with that familiar lightning.

Demons and angels and mortals alike cried out in agony, the mortals were dead instantly, their lifeless bodies still standing and twitching as lightning coursed through their nerves. Sky managed to jump but part of the lighting force hit his wings sending him off in another direction as he slammed into some piping then rolled off onto a high up catwalk, B-man meanwhile was too surprised to react right away until he was put down. he was dropped of course on the nearest catwalk- OUF! -looking up at Beelzebub he then rubbed the back of his neck-. Uh...thanks...

-Beelzebub looked down as the lightning demon reformed- I'll take the big guy. -she looked to B-Man- think you can take the succubus? -B-man blinked- me? -Sky growled as he ran up- I'll help if I can hmm? -he stopped then he went paler than usual, much more than his skin colour. B-man looked then froze as well as he was focused on something at the hole in the roof- Oggstrosse....

-Belle looked up and growled upon seeing the archdemon for the first time. He wasn't in demonic form as had been described to her, instead looking like an anthro panther with long black hair and the darkest eyes- It's him! - Gabriel shouted, yet the tremor in his voice didn't go unnoticed-B-man winced as Sky moved up to his friend- B...we can't win this one. it's up to Gabriel and his brothers..and Beelzebub...

B-man grimaced- yeah... you're right.. -there was a ungodly roar from below as the demons whom had been created were climbing up the catwalk- On second thought, we are going to have that fight after all -B-man glanced behind Jack as the last of the three brothers arrived with more angels and demons, Of course Jack didn't arrive alone as more of his "faithful" had joined them.

Sky's ears flattened against his head- sky: this is going to be a all out brawl..How much time do we have I wonder before this place blows. -B-man grunted-go and ask the survivors? -Sky blinked- they're stalling, they want not only for this place to blow but to take us down with it...-The corrupted climb the walls up to Sky and B-man, Beelzebub went straight for Jack himself as the three brothers went after a general each. Outside what could only be described as a all out brawl took place. It seemed to be even match between the three generals and archangels. Beelzebub and Jack were on a totally different level-

-Beelzebub growled as she grappled with the Archdemon, whom had yet to transform. The sheer power that coursed between the two was nothing short of Godlike, even in their weakened states they were two titans of Hell. It wasn't hard to see why either of them were incredibly feared beings across the realms. The ground began to crack under their feet as the two seemed to push the other into the concrete, large cracks in the floor began forming with neither Demon seeming to gain a hand over the other.-

-elsewhere at a safe distance B-man was listening to one of the living technicians one panted - T.. they have twenty, maybe twenty-five minutes before it goes critical...-B-man spoke next- can I do anything? -the tech shook his head- no, all the safety locks were done in...went that thing goes up...the fall out will kill everyone for hundreds of miles depending on the wind...-Another tech grimaced thinking of the horrors that could happen- it will make Chernobyl look like a...-the techs voice trailed off-

Sky looked back as he could sense what was going on- good god B...they are still getting stronger...but the brothers and those generals feel like they are getting weaker. -B-man winced slightly then sighed making up his mind- just a bit longer and..maybe... -Sky blinked for a moment- a bit longer and maybe what?...-Sky's ears perked up in alarm- No, you can't.. -One of the Corrupted suddenly tackled B-Man to the ground, The other two lashed out at Sky sensing his Angelic nature and deeming him the bigger threat-

B-man spun back and was tackled too late, they two tumbled and rolled into one of the deep forming cracks, Sky hissed and started to fend off the two with difficulty as the last of the angels and demons got the rest of the humans to safety- B?! GAH! -Sky took a shot to the back so hard it sent him crashing through some walls into the middle of the battle, the two corrupted followed-

Sky looked then gasped as some debris slammed onto his wings pinning him - Sky: GAH! -behind he could see the one corrupt to had attacked B-man- Shit! -as the three moved in to finish off the angel they stopped, the began to wail before roaring out in complete agony. Their cries were so loud and blood curdling it made the fighting stop for those few seconds, for each of the corrupted their entire skeleton and all of their organs were forced out of their own bodies in horrific fashion. Sky lay their stunned as the flesh and skeletons vaporized- w....what in ?...

-Suddenly Gabriel was sent hurtling towards them, narrowly missing Sky and landed in a large heap behind him, lightning arcing around the Arch Angel's body painfully, A deep roar echoed across the facility and surrounding area before Khalzirak leapt towards them with lightning streaming from his body his heavy foot directed at the Arch Angel whom pushed himself out of the way just in time to dodge the attack. Retaliating he brought his sword up slashing at the lightning lord's body sending bright yellow blood arcing through the air.

The demon roared and grabbed the blade as Gabriel went for another swipe, the demon had no time to react as the Archangel placed his hand on Khalzirak's stomach and fired off a powerful blast of angelic energy, blowing the demon across the facility, he turned towards B-man and Sky, blood dripping from his head- GO! While we have them distracted, GO!!!

Sky grimaced as he forced the debris off his wings which were wrecked, B-man came out into the open and picked up his friend and ran for it. Sky grimaced as he hauled to safety- feel like a sack of potatoes.-B-man glanced back to the fighting as they ran- man look at them go!-Raphael combat Freya who easily dodged and re-directed the Arch Angel's attacked, while Michael was kept in place by a powerful psionic force coming from Malfross. The demon glanced to the side with one of his many eyes and glared as he noticed B-man and Sky-

Oh no you don't -the demon's voice echoed in their mind, as he reached out towards them stopping them with his psychic powers. Archangel Michelangelo began to move, as the force holding him had lessened, Malfross noticed with his other eyes and held him in place forced to release B-Man and Sky-

B-man hit the ground as did Sky, looking back with a grunt B-man finally got fed up- I've had enough of this -Sky spun back but gasped from his broken wings- B wait! ARGH! -Charging B-man went right for the melee of fighting between the angels and generals, he took aim right at Malfoss first putting all of his luck that the general had been weakened enough in the fighting-

-A fiery explosion rocked the area throw all combatants back over a dozen feet. The battle between the Archdemon and reigning Devil grew more fierce. Fire breath, unholy blades, and claws struck the other, the floor was utterly ruined with cracks several feet deep and small pot holes and creators scattered about , the walls were crumbling down around them, the whole place felt like it was ready to crumble around them.-

The Dust and debris started to settle if only briefly, Malfoss seemed to be alone as he got up then from all around him it seemed B-man voice roared out- TENGOKU-KEN OUGI!! -from a distance the dust was blown away as B-man's crimson Kayo-Ken aura caused the air to part- TENHA KASSATSU! -thrusting his arms out with his fingers extended pinpoint dots of energy shot out, some missed but some hit malfoss in the neck, and skimmed his temples. At first it seemed nothing the mortal did was going to do any good, B-man winced preparing for the worst as Malfoss reeled at him.

Damn! -B-man had been about to try and make a run for it when some blood vessels in the demons neck and temples suddenly burst spraying bits of his blood on his uniform, the pain was one thing but the sudden emptiness that enveloped the demons mind was another. His physic abilities had been ripped away from him, B-man was in shock as Malfoss roared out in frustration-

Malfross spoke while holding his face together with his hand- You will regret this mortal .... -he growled- I am going to tear you so-URGH! -he gasped as a blade suddenly erupted from his chest, Michael never let up as he pushed his holy blade in that much further, right up to the hilt- Never keep your eyes, off your enemy. -he growled into Malfross' ear. The Mind-Demon fell forward, landing harshly on the ground-

Archangel Michael looked over to B-man- Good work there human. -he took a step forward only for his entire body to convulse and powerful blasts of lightning engulfed his entire body, Michael cried out in agony, dropping down on to one knee, as his muscles spasmed and contracted- The same could be said to you Archangel! -the lightning lord roared as he poured more powerful into his attack, the Archangels body began to smoke before his wings burst into hellfire-

-Michael hit the floor as Khalzirak turned his attention to B-Man, behind them they noticed Rafael unconscious on the floor, or dead.B-man was just getting ready when he was nailed from behind by Freya, which drove him hard towards Khal whom instantly drove his left knee into B-mans gut which knocked all the air out of him. in a split second he was kicked again by Freya sending him tumbling on the floor back into the power plant to hit the catwalk, then because of the momentum he bounced off the steel platform and hit the ground in front of some of the emergency equipment with a thud, Gabriel could only watch on in silence as Khal stomped towards the fallen body-

-Freya grinned and turned her attention to Gabriel- No one else to help you Arch Angel ... you're all mine!-Khal rolled his shoulder and growled deeply as lightning began to arc around his body once more- Your meddling ends here mortal. -he growled deeply as lightning began to gather around his large meaty, clawed hands. With a jerk B-man lashed out with a kick driving his foot hard into the emergency console, Water and chemicals burst out and shot from the pipes as B-man rolled out of the way as it hit Khal full force as he was about to strike -

-He roared as the mixture knocked him off balance and landed on the floor, his electricity surged uncontrollably- HIEN SHIPUUKAYKU!! -The double kick from B-man struck Freya square in the back, but the mid air round house completely crushed the joints to her wings as she went flying into the electrical surges of Khal. Freya roared loudly as she was caught in the arcing lightning. Suddenly she was knocked aside by the lightning demon whom began to get up, his body still surging with lightning, he lifted his large hand and brushed the water/chemical mix from his face and glared at B-Man-,

B-man kicked off before Gabriel could get a word out, the two bodies Crashed into each other and locked up as they grappled each other. Yet as they two went at it, B-man was holding his own now and was holding the demon general at bay. This was not lost as Freya was partially pinned under some rubble, the veins on B-mans body began to pulsate as he pushed back.- G.... GIVE IT UP! -with a sudden jerk B-man pulled back before Khal could fire off another surge of electrical energy, he pulled the larger demon forward then drove both feet into the generals stomach and sent him soaring into the air in which he followed-

Before Khal knew it B-man was on him driving his hands hard into the demons thick neck before his right knee slammed into his face. Khal hit one of the upper catwalks as B-man landed on the floor panting, Gabriel could just see the residual "holy" energy in B-mans hands dissipating- did it work?...-he waited in hope that he had stopped Khals ability to use electrical energy, Khal tumbled off the catwalk and hit the ground with a heavy thud, the ground shattered under his large frame-

-On the other side of the room, the Archdemon lashed out with a bone breaking punch, only for Beelzebub to turn away from the attack and whip Jack with her tail knocking the ancient demon off balance, Beelzebub completed her turn and her left hand gathering energy as she had spun and fired a powerful last at the Arch Demon sending him careening across the room as his wrappings and rags burned off his body, he hit the floor, skipped once, twice then skid several more feet before coming to a stop-

B-man winced then looked back to the matter at hand, he rushed over to gabriel to help the angel up. yet it was only short lived as he watched as Freya, Khal, and a very groggy Malfoss get up- B:.. Gabriel can you get your brothers to safety? -he looked into the lions eyes yet he had a feeling it wasn't going to be possible- damnit he's still too weak....can I handle three on one? Their bloody relentless...

-Beelzebub panted heavily, finding herself actually tired but then her body felt wrecked, she looked at the Arch Demon on the floor, unmoving, then turned her attention to the rising Generals then She felt a sudden spike of energy, to the corner of her eye she saw B-man suddenly push off and go into a run straight for the generals. Freya was taken off guard by the sudden speed and Khal by the strength behind the mortals attack, Malfoss joined in seconds later as B-man went into a spin fending off all three generals.

Looking left, right then straight ahead B-man roared out- KAYO-KEN!! -The first Impact was on Freya a full force roundhouse kick to her side which she tried to block but her arm broke from the impact, Next was Malfoss taking a full force left elbow shot to his temple which fractured his skull and damaged his eye. Finally a hard solar plexus blow to Khal with a right punch, B-man's fist sank in at least halfway. Each general flew back and crashed into various bits of the control room, As B-man came out of the spin he staggered to stand straight up having not expected the outcome. Looking at his hands he stood there in shock- W...What the hell did those wrist and ankle bands do to me?...

Well now, -Gabriel grunted weakly- that is certainly impressive.-Beelzebub brows rose a little, clearly impressed with what she saw. B-man's skin started to crawl as he felt something behind him, Before he knew it he had been hit from behind and sent flying out into the open field in front of the power plant- GAH!! -The Arch Demon glared at B-man then swept his gaze across his enemies, Beelzebub, Sky, Gabriel whom was slowly getting to his feet-

You haven't won yet ... -he said in a tone so cold it could've frozen Hell itself- ... I will take this entire building and its core down and you shall all join me in Hell.-The demon's power began to increase dramatically, Beelzebub charged forward with fists ablaze. B-man winced as he slowly started to stand up- Oh god... -looking back he grimaced as visions of Wolf in heaven flashed through his mind - GET UP! COME ON GET UP!-he watched on helplessly as his body felt so worn out from that single blow-

-Beelzebub lashed out, the Arch Demon took the hit his head turning sharply to the side but his eyes remained locked onto her. With a growl followed swiftly by a roar of rage the Demon grabbed her with one hand then sent his other hand into her gut, penetrating through her armour, her scale and exiting out her back. Beelzebub gagged as blood spurted from her mouth, Oggstrosse leaned closer to her ear and whispered darkly- You never, stood a chance.

BURN KNUCKLE!! -The side shot to Jack's head caused him to lose his grip on Beelzebub, as she collapsed to the floor B-man tied to catch her as Jack crashed through some more control panels. With that the first of the Power plants emergency Klaxons started to sound off, Gabriel shouted over the noise- Damn it! We can't stop the countdown! -He pushed himself to his feet as Jack pulled himself out of the computer equipment-

-The Archdemons eyes locked onto B-man- You're really beginning to annoy me. -B-man's eye twitched a he looked down at the helpless Beelzebub who was clutching at her stomach, fires started to appear around the control room and spread to more consoles as Jack approached the two from behind-Come on you've got to get up! -Beelzebub replied through clenched teeth- You try getting up after you've been punched through the gut -she hissed through grit teeth and glared at B-man with annoyance-

-The Arch Demon with anger boiling up within him stalker towards the mortal and Devil, his right hand began swaying as fire and shadow mixed together, a long blade began to form. Gabriel gathered himself and charged towards the Arch Demon, sword at the ready. The monster simply caught the offending blade and lashed out with his own, the Archangel ducking out of the way just in time to avoid a quick beheading but not in time to lose an arm, Gabriel yelled out and stumbled back the arm holding the sword hit the ground seconds before he did.

Jack continued towards his intended targets as angelic blood now dripped from his blade, B-man winced as he moved to lift Beelzebub up but felt the presence behind him again, the dread that filled his soul was something he would never be able to describe . He was a sitting duck as he knew it- No, no -she grunted- I'll distract him, you run. Go get reinforcements while he's still weak -she told B-man telepathically-

-The monster grabbed his sword with two hands, the blade igniting with flame then charged towards them. For a brief second Beelzebub saw a sudden glow in B-mans pupils, spinning hard he rose up with his arms in a "X" like pattern as he forced Jack's arms upward. The "Negative" energy shot upwards into the air then down from the force of Jacks attack, causing the floor around the three buckled then shot upwards.

Through the dissipating flames of Jacks Sword he could see B-man's glowing pupils, along with the rise of the mortals energy to sixty times it's maximum. Arcs of energy shot out destroying more of the control room, along with B-mans t-shirt in the process as his muscles expanded for a brief second before he forced Jack's arms to spread out.

With a Howl of Pain and anger B-man lashed out with a right uppercut that had Jack not moved back in time would have connected full force with his jaw, yet the energy alone was enough to make a scorch mark on the Arch Demons chest and send him staggering backwards onto his knees. Of course the effort had been far to much for B-man as his legs buckled and he staggered to one side under the catwalk gasping an agony before finally passing out from a combination of Exhaustion and pure pain-

-Jack panted heavily his body writhing in pain, he snarled at B-man, intending to finish the mortal off when beams of light suddenly shot down from the sky, Heaven was sending its reinforcements. He looked around, taking a brief note of the blaring alarms and flashing red lights- Never mind, you've lost anyway. -he muttered before gathering up the shadows around himself and his generals before the shadows swallowed them whole and they vanished-

-A ball of hellfire hit the ground where Jack was once knelt. Beelzebub had one hand out in front of her, palm open.- Damn it! .... -she panted- ....now what? -she growled as Sky and a few angels rushed in seconds after, and a new alarm started stating the core was starting to melt down. Sky gasped as he ran over to the from of his fallen friend- Brandon?! Oh god...

Beelzebub roared at him- FORGET HIM! STOP THE MELTDOWN! -She grimaced as her wound was now just beginning to regenerate, new muscle starting to form, Sky got up and rushed over to a console but it was far too late to do anything- damnit! we are out of time! -he looked back as the other brothers were on their feet again- all those people are going to die...if we could only some how teleport this damn thing somewhere else...

Raphael, who'd just regained consciousness weakly stepped up beside Sky- ... no, it's too late for that, we tried stopping the Archdemon, we are too late. There's nothing we can do, or should do.It's a mortal problem now. -Sky gripped the controls tightly- How is it a mortals problem now?! -he spun on the angel- WE were part of this! -he looked over to Beelzebub with pleading eyes- Isn't there something we can do?

We didn't start this ... we tried preventing it ... we failed. We're not here to solve everyone's problems, we wouldn't have time to do anything else! -Beelzebub grunted- Yuh -she exhaled trying to speak- ... you ..... -she coughed up more blood- always were a little bitch Raphael, you and all of your kind. -she growled as She got up- ... it's why you've never beaten a war with demons head on.... and you never will -she seemed to come to a decision as she looked at B-man's fallen form-

... go, all of you go, -she looked to Sky- get the mortal out of here.-Sky grimaced then rushed over to B-man and lifted him up, he was limp and pale as death yet he was still alive only just- Sky: ...Good luck Lady Beelzebub..-he took flight just as a few more consoles started to go up, She scoffed not caring for his words, and watched as the angels took their leaders away back to heaven to heal. Beelzebub walked slowly out of the facility.-

I swear by the Elders I'm only doing this once -she snarled with obvious distaste. Her eyes lit up brightly with fire a deep rumble escape her throat as she built up what power remained in her. The facility went critical the wrong the facility suddenly erupted with a cataclysmic explosion. Beelzebub roared out as hellfire erupted from the earth and surrounded the facility, Beelzebub took the full brunt of the explosion as her flames came in containing the explosion.

In her weakened state she felt her scales beginning to peel away from her body as her uniform started to melt. Her roar, now a mixture of anger and pain was swallowed up in the overwhelming roar of the explosion. The very earth shook violently, the city would feel it like an earthquake. After nearly a full minute, a full agonizing minute the nuclear meltdown stopped, the facility was gone and Beelzebub dropped to the floor her flames dying down around her. In the distance, the sun began to set
