Lucifer Part 10 - Thy Holy Terror
Part 10: Thy Holy Terror
The three brothers, Beelzebub and Baphomet were discussing where Lucifer could be, Raphael surveyed the country side- We could all check across the country. -Michelangelo shook his head in disagreement- No, our brother always had a sense of irony to him.-Gabriel nodded- Agreed. He's likely somewhere of major religious significance. -High in the air Sky had broken course and was making his way to the castle- he's got to be there, but all those people might get caught in the crossfire, it will be like Jack in Toronto all over again
_ _
Under the castle, Lucifer looked over his wounds, and grinned- There ... Thank you my dear Lilith. -he grinned at her while she bowed - You are welcome My lord. I have gathered the others, we are ready. Are you?-Lucifer grunted- Not quite. But it shall do.-One of their minions walked over to Lilith and gave its report- We've spotted blue nimbus cloud coming over the horizon, no sign it has changed course as it heading right for the city -Lucifer blinked- Oh really? -then he smiled.- Keep an eye on it, do not interfere. It seems we've been found out.
Sky was laying on the cloud having it tendrils cover him to stay out of sight, while his energy was down to a minimum, Unbeknownst to him, his appearance had not gone unnoticed. Older demons and fallen angels watched the nimbus cloud from afar- Okay Omega...just to a fly by buddy...-he glanced from left to right- not over the castle just over the city and keep going.-the creatures below followed at a far distance yet still able to track him-Now.. -with hard arc to the left Omega came about then shot towards the castle at top speed, the creatures panicked and double backed hard-
Omega shot down low skimming across the land right for the main entrance of the ruins then shot upwards in a blue, as Sky came out of the clouds trail in a run, Lilith raised a brow- The nimbus is making strange maneuvers my lord. -Lucifer shrugged- That's fine, let him.-There was a shudder in the castle just then, the magic barrier had been breached, Lucifer could feel it, a mortal had entered..or was it ?...it felt familiar, the Neko-Jin from before, Lucifer then grinned- Ah ... the rookie
Sky slid to a stop then looked around- hm? -his senses came into focus- they're here...all of them -he turned in the direction of the energies, suddenly one of the energies sky rocketed moments before the ground burst upwards as a mighty geyser of energy fired up high, Jerking back Sky went into several backflips then took his fighting stance, Lilith smirked as she flew upwards and hovered over the hole- Welcome to your doom mortal! -her whole body engulfed in ancient demonic power and charged at Sky-
Sky's slitted pupils expanded and glowed- I'm not the same as I used to be! -his own energy rocketed upwards, the tendrils of white energy rose off his body at an alarming rate before he thrust his arms outward with a feline roar that stopped Lilith in her tracks, there was something new in the mix. Meanwhile the archangels and Beelzebub felt the rise of energies, Beelzebub looked in the direction Never mind, -she growled- we have to attack NOW! -Lilith grimaced but only briefly before she yelled at Sky, asserting her dominance in power-
Sky started to move himself as both of them lashed out at what seemed like the same time, their right hands outwards like knives yet both dodged, Lilith could see his movements were far more elegant than before- HMPH! -at her next attack Sky just dodged his head back as she lashed out once more just catching a few strands of Sky's blonde hair, gaining some space Sky growled as she glared at him smiling in mocking fashion and had been about to commend the "Rookie" for dodging him then Sky spoke-
-Sky looked at the I guess my strike wasn't strong enough to shut you up...-no sooner had he said that, did Lilith's right shoulder and portion of her bicep started to swell and bubble as the skin bulged outwards, Sky watched on slightly satisfied but growled once more as she drove her left fingers into a point in her shoulder to stop it the horrific swelling, the pain was one thing but the horrifying part is that she had not seen him hit the pressure point, the Spies in hell had said nothing of this -
Clever, very clever. -she frowned. Her image disappeared before pain exploded in Sky's stomach with Lilith burying her clawed fingers into his gut- But still too slow. -Sky gasped and flew backwards only to right himself to kick off a wall, he flew right for her but vanished before he came close, she lost him for a moment before suddenly being kicked upside her head sending her to far side of the chamber, her vision blurred but wasn't coming back into focus as it should-
You're stronger than before. -she commented with little infliction in her voice. She closed her eyes and opened out her pointed ears and expanding her senses, his beating heart, his mortal blood. Lilith charged through the wall throwing a stray rock at him then jumped over him, spinning in mid air she wrapped her legs around his neck and started to squeeze, Sky gasped but grabbed onto her thighs and dug his claws into her demonic flesh before his energy spiked once more, warning bells went off in her head as she could see and noticeably feel his energy multiply before her legs were forced violently apart as Sky's Kayo-Ken aura erupted around his body-
-Lilith grimaced, it was that technique again. But she wouldn't be beaten by it again, that power took concentration to use. Funnelling power into her wings she folded the digits together then impaled them into his shoulder and shook them violently, Sky's eyes came a glow as he went to maximum, the flash of his white skin before she felt as if her torso was going to be brutally beaten clean from her body, before she knew it her was face first in the wall in a broken mirror she could see energy pour of Sky's body like honey, even though he was out of the attack itself it was still imposing- If I can't hit your pressure points, I'll just break your body! -there wasn't time as she was driven into the wall back first as she tried to block, her skin tore spraying her blood all over the Neko's fist and her own palm, the body blow threw her like a rag doll into the next several rooms-
-Lilith spat blood onto the floor and grimaced before pulling herself up to her feet, she turned to look at Sky through the holes in the wall- Is that .... is ..... is that all you've got boy?-Dark arcs of energy started to rise off his body it was "that" energy...-No...it gets much ...much worse....-High above Beelzebub being the strongest felt it first- Oh no. Sky don't do it. -she grimaced as Gabriel cursed- I feel it, damn it boy don't be a fool!-Lilith blinked in shock, but the look quickly changed to a full blown grin- Go ahead, give me your best shot.
Sky's ears twitched then he started to grin as well as he stopped- So "he" is here eh?...Perfect...-he jerked his head up then drove his right arm upwards- KOU-KEN! -in the sky the magic barrier wavered as the ball of energy continued upwards before exploding, one of Beelzebub's generals commented- The castle!-Just as Sky fired Lilith burst forward and raked her claws across Sky's eyes,- You're still just a boy, no discipline, little experience at war.!- Sky spun around from the impact seeming to be finished, only to come around and drive his hand like a dagger straight into her chest right into her demonic heart with a feline roar -
-Lilith gasped, looking down at her chest, she looked back up to him.- You think this is it? -she chuckled darkly- My job was never to beat you, no ... in fact you've played your role perfectly- Sky growled- I have played mine...-Lilith coughed up blood-You won't win this war ... -she leaned her head back then said something in demonic, Sky shoved her body back with his free hand as he tore out her demonic heart then crushed it in his hand- Bitch, this war will be over before it has even started...-his ear twitched as he turned his head at someone coming- heh...
-Lucifer stepped forward clapping slowly- You are correct. I've already won.-As the others flew over head they were suddenly under heavy fire from the ground, a barrage of hellfire and demonic energy seemingly coming from the ground itself. Beelzebub and the ArchAngels blocked immediately other demons and angels weren't so lucky, their wings burnt or blown off causing them to fall from the sky or be consumed entirely in the barrage. Corpses fell in the hundreds, some didn't even hit the ground before they were vaporised-
-Lucifer chuckled and looked Sky in the eye- I knew one of you would be tempted to show bravado. Tis the cost of pride I'm afraid. -he gave Sky a shit eating grin, Sky stood straight- small price to pay for freedom...-something was off, Lucifer could feel it, the fallen ones eye spotted it, a form over and over the neko's body, it was something, no someone. a spirit? -Sky's voice took on a different tone- You were really surprised that Brandon wounded you in Hell...
Indeed. However I'm anticipating it this time. Lilith played her role perfectly as she said she would, you used your new tricks on her and now I know about them too.-Sky smiled- Have I now ?-Lucifer look of amusement faded-The only way you can hurt me boy, an ArchAngel, is with that power.-he cracked his knuckles- This time, I won't be so merciful.-Sky's pupils widened then be yelled as the mixture energies started to rise up, his yell was long and drawn out as the walls started to crumble around the two.
Outside the demonic blasts began to lose their power, Beelzebub and Gabriel knew what it was right off the bat, the energy was being drawn away, the Denjin-Hadouken Effect like in the mansion fight, Lucifer simply raised his hand and sent a shockwave at Sky blowing him through the concrete and deep into the rock- You're strong boy but you are no Oggstrosse. -Lucifer extended his wings and flew up through the ceiling and onto the battleground- Here! -he announced- Here I will begin my new empire!
The energy wavered but showed no signs of slowing down at being collected- No...I am McCloud -the Demonic energy being gathered turned dark as if was anger itself, spiking as it turned to Negative energy, Lucifer looked down feeling the build up of power- And yet another seems to master that power.
GET OFF YOUR HIGH PEDESTAL -As Lucifer whirled around Sky was on him like a black dagger as he lashed out at the fallen angel, the blade of energy just missed his chest yet it opened up a slash across Lucifers chest. As the hell fire came under control Beelzebub could see Sky knocking down Lucifer and going after him- CHOU! KYOKUGENRYU OUGI!!! - Negative energy in combination with the Kayo-Ken was the finale for Sky, he sent each impact into Lucifers body before using all of the transformed negative energy into the culminating attack- KISHIN SANGA GEKI! -the blow knocked all the air out of lucifer before Sky brought his arm up-
Those who could see it saw the "Fighting spirit" of some sort raising his right arm up then brought it down with all it's savage might the two vanished in blast, Lucifer was sent flying into the air but there was no sign of pursuit as they felt Sky's energy vanish from existence,-Lucifer stopped in midair using his wings. The fool had made a desperate unexpected attack. The dark power had hurt him. Mortals it seemed were getting much stronger. He glanced towards the approaching army still under fire from his hidden troops.- The day is not lost yet.
-he growled before flying back down into the destroyed castle- Lilith ... I'm not done with you yet. -he began to speak in a dark and ancient language his hands glowing with angelic and demonic power. He approached her corpse and pressed his hands down upon her. Muscle stitched back together, nerves fixed themselves once more, tissue began to regenerate. Lilith gasped as air filled her lungs once more-M.... master, did it work?-Lucifer grunted- The boy had a few tricks left. But never mind him, the bigger fish approach.- One angel whom had managed to survive shouted into the hell fire and energy blasts- Was that Sky?!
-Raphael who just dodged another volley of energy shouted- CONCENTRATE MORE ON GETTING TO THE CASTLE!-Beelzebub roared out in frustration- URGH! FUCK THIS! -she spun backwards using the Arch Angels for cover and cupped her hands together- ... I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! -she roared as the angels flew out of the way just as Beelzebub fired down towards the ground, the blast hit with terrifying results, causing the entirety of the area to be bathed in hellfire and pure demonic power while shakin the earth to its core-
-From his position Lucifer saw the attack that Beelzebub unleashed. But it was of little consequence now. The mortals around the area would know something was happening if they hadn't already, Lucifer grimaced. The Dragon was strong, there was no doubt. But still ... she wasn't quite to his level of power, at least from what he saw. Even as all this went on, the city lights never came on...it was strange, they should be awake to the commotion at this point. Then Lucifer would see it, A fine line just before the demonic energy and hell fire, another sort of barrier, that much further away Yahweh was holding his arms up and out to keep the carnage from reaching the mortals -
Lucifer grimaced upon seeing him, but it would matter not- YOU THINK THIS MEANS ANYTHING! DO YOU?! -he roared, Yahweh shouted in return- BEELZEBUB! NOW BEFORE HE UNLEASHES ANOTHER VOLLEY!-Lucifer turned, a second too late as Beelzebub charged right into him at full speed, the pair slamming into the ground and tunneling through the rock, Yahweh shouted in another direction- NOW! HIT THE BARRIER WITH LIGHTING!-The two thunder Gods charged up their godly lightning and fired it at the barrier-
Seconds later the three brothers, along with a few of Beelzebubs generals and Beth shot through the opened to gain access to the castle, Like insects crawling out of the tiniest holes came a legion of fallen angels and ancient demons whom flew directly at them, Gabriel shouted- HERE THEY COME! BE ON YOUR GUARD!-the two groups collided, hundreds of monsters attacking the group of mighty angels and powerful demons-
Yahwah Grimaced slightly as he could feel deep down his sisters energy rising, but Lucifers was still just a hair above hers- Beelzebub, I don't know how much longer I can hold this barrier up -As before, the ground suddenly erupted like a geyser as pure angelic and demon power exploded outwards and hit the roof of the barrier, Lucifer's enraged scream could be heard echoing throughout the land, through the chaos the angels and demons had managed to clear a path and take a part of the castle, then Beth could see Lilith striking down a demon -
-Baphomet flew to the first demon grabbing her by surprise, and dragged her face across the wall before slamming her through another.-Ah the prized daughter of Azazel. -she said mockingly- How his line has fallen! -Baphomet Shouted- I don't see you putting up much o- -Lilith charged through the hole grabbing the larger Baphomet and spun her around and threw her across the room before she could finish her reply, followed by a condensed ball of demonic power. Baphomet crashed through a basement wall second before the ball hit her exploding outwards. Lilith continued after the former Demon Lord-
-Beelzebub hit the ground, her body smoking from the large attack caused by Lucifer, she pushed herself up only to punched back down to the ground by the Fallen One who proceeded to punch Beelzebub repeatedly each strike causing the ground to crack more and more. Beelzebub whipped her tail around Lucifer's leg and threw him off of her. Giving he a chance to fire a ball of hellfire from her mouth which exploded upon impact against Lucifer-
Another Demon rushed up to Gabriel- Sir! we have secured the area, but we have not found the body of the angel you are seeking. It's just a crater.-Gabriel closed his eyes moments before the entire ground shook once more.- I have a feeling my brother has deceived us once more. -Yahweh blinked watching on- what has he done? -Back in another section Baphamot was barely holding her own in her fight with Lilith, Baphomet grimaced as she was definitely on the backfoot-
You think you can win? -Lilith growled as she stepped closer, Baphomet lashed out with her claws as Lilith ducked under them and slashed Baphomet from the stomach to the chest causing the larger demon to roar in pain- We've planned this for too long! -She punched Beth across the face, sending a tooth flying from Baphomet's mouth- We can't be stopped now! WE WON'T! -she jumped up and drop kicked Baphomet across the basement directly to the other end, crashing through several walls before she stopped-
As Baphomet turned to try and get up her vision was blurred, Lilith was on her in the instant after, it looked as if multiple strikes were coming her way as to pummel her body all at once, the world around her spun in the final moment. Yet nothing happened as the after images of Lilith's physical attack merged back together as two hand took hold of Liliths's wrists and stopped her cold, the after image came together revealing Sky, yet Beth could see on the exposed portions of the Neko-Jins arms were black blue veins, also along his neck and face. Lilith could also see that the white portion of Sky's eyes were now pitch black, as Lilith pulled back Sky attacked, air crackled around Lilith as she dodged one of Sky's punches, yet the force threw the demon back just enough out of his reach-
-Lilith skidded across the ground and glared at him- ... Round two boy? Playtime is over. -Lilith lowered herself down. Her right hand open with the palm facing the ceiling as she curled her fingers as power began to rapid form around it, she pulled her hand back and slammed it into the ground, a red like "webbing" began to on the ground coming from her hand and spread out in front of her, climbing up the walls and ceiling towards Sky and Baphomet, suddenly the "webs" started to unleash intense bursts of hellfire-
Sky jerked back in front of Baphomet before thrusting his arms downward in a "X" block as a barrier shot up around them, hellfire completely engulfed the two then it seemed to implode before being shot right back, Lilith could hear the Neko's feline roar as his barrier shot outwards canceling out her attack as if it was nothing. Sky shot off lashing out with a right punch that Lilith would block with her forearm, the impact broke her skin and threatened to break her bone yet Sky wasn't done yet as he came at her with multiple kicks, out of the fury of them One struck causing the demon to stagger back-
-She hissed in detest and lashed out. Running to Sky then using her agility and grace to flip over him and slam both of her feet into the back of his head, she continued to the ground only to receive a savage haymaker from Baphomet, knocking Lilith to the side. The older demon hit the ground but rolled back to her feet only to dive out of the side as Baphomet unleashed a blast of fire from her mouth-
You think you're the only one who is fast and agile? -Lilith could see it, the very site Lucifer had for a brief second, some sort of "spirit" rising up over Sky's body as he did before turning back, Lilith's eyes could barely keep up now, she could sense the negative energy being used, Sky lashed out with another bunch which she caught yet before she could do anything else Sky went into a front flip, Lilith would lash out of course for Sky's midsection just grazing his left side, but the trade was being kicked in the face by Sky's right foot from the momentum, as they landed Sky's uniform and skin split yet a vein in the center of Lilith's forehead split spraying blood across her face-
Lilith screeched in pain then ignited her hand and dragging the flame across her forehead burning it shut. She turned around and looked at Sky seething- Enough of this! -she jumped to the wall and bounced off of it towards Sky striking him and passing him hitting the other side of the wall then bounced off again, striking Sky once more, bouncing from wall to wall getting faster and faster and slashing at Sky as she passed.-
Sky's body jerked back and forth from the impacts, the uniform getting slashed from from the strikes to his body, yet he still did not move from his spot until his nails came a glow as Lilith came to pass him once more, spinning hard on his heel his cutting attack hit her leading hand dead on slicing through her fingers, through the muscle, down to the bone sheering it of just mid bicep, the energy was now the "Holy art of the heavens", as Lilith crashed to the ground Sky looked at his hand, he was bleeding as well but faired better than the demon, turning back he took his normal fighting stance- that was for Brandon...this next one ....IS FOR ME! -Beth could feel it, the combination of the Kayo-Ken and the Tengoku-ken energy, for the demons present it would have been terrifying to some-(edited)
-Lilith clutched her stump and glared at Sky, before digging her nails into the remaining muscle and tore off another several inches exposing the bone and cautisered the wound. She got up to her feet- Killing me changes nothing ... you will die fledgling, to Lucifer or the ArchDemon.-Sky smirked slowly- and just like your master....I won't show Mercy !!!- Sky shot forth then drove his index and middle finger into the center of her forehead, Lilith's nerves were set on fire before the her very skeleton was forced out of her own body in horrific fashion-
Sky looked back to Baphomet as she came over- Are you alright?-Baphomet grunted as she slowly pushed herself up to her knees- Did you kill her?-Sky shrugged but then chuckled a bit- she'll be reborn in hell most likely...-she could see his eyes, the void of black around pupils- come on, we have a fallen angel to stop...-She grimaced then looked at him in alarm- I think we have other problems-the blood of Lilith began to seep into the ground, from there a form of chain reaction started to occur. The ground itself ran red with her blood and began to split, Sky rolled his eyes- great, now what? -he turned back standing next to beth-
The Earth started to tremble and break, large fissures began forming around the castle began to crumble as some of it fell into the growing fissure, Sky sighed- And the world was torn asunder......he's got a thing for the Biblical huh?-Baphomet sighed-We're demons Sky, and he's an Arch Angel, -she grimaced- it comes with the territory .... what's that sound?-Sky blinked- I don't think we want to find out...we need to shut that thing ARGH!! -he grimaced as the black veins pulsated for a few seconds-- some how... Come on, I'm sure Yahweh might know something.
-Baphomet made a move only to have something from the fissure grab her, claws digging into her leg- WHAT?! -she turned only to be pulled down and into the fissure where more claws grabbed and pulled at her. An ancient demon climbed out of the fissure, followed by another, and another and another, then five more, then ten all across the land an army growing into its thousands.Gabriel spun around and watched on- ... No .... by all the is holy. -he stared in terror at Lucifer's ancient army reborn-
Sky spun around grabbing Beth- Let's go! -he took off running with Beth in tow meeting up with Gabriel, Yahweh meanwhile grimaced as he put up yet another barrier, he shouted to the other gods to prepare themselves for batter- We cannot allow them past the barrier!-in the closest city of Israel mortals screamed out as their bodies were bitten into and torn apart by the hellish monstrosities, Odin shouted in alarm- The barrier is useless! These cracks are all over! Can you not hear the mortal souls? -he stared off to the nearby city- ... We need to kill their only link to this realm ... Lucifer must die.
-he looked to Yahweh- Are you going to fight for a change?-Yahweh sighed as he dropped the barrier as his garb changed-...yes... -he turned- ANGELS AND DEMONS! PROTECT THE MORTALS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! -he turned back and moved in with the rest- Beelzebub, you must beat him! -his voice rang in his sisters mind, Beelzebub struck the Fallen One in the stomach then several hard jabs to his face, a few of which he blocked, she dropped under one of his attack and swept him off his feet with her tail and fired a powerful demonic blast as him as he fell-
I am TRYING! He's powerful .... among the most powerful Being I've ever fought and I'm just barely holding my own-Yahweh tried to bolster Beelzebub-We will try and get to you as soon as we can! -Meanwhile Sky was assisting the brothers in taking out as many of Lucifer's reborn army as possible, One demon land on Sky's back biting into his shoulder only to be pulled off by Baphomet and throw into others only to dodge as several tried to grab her- TENSHOU-HONRETZU!-Sky thrust his arms out letting out a holy beam of energy mowing down a few dozen demons at once protecting Beth from a counter attack, the very same blast B-man had used on Khal. -
You alright?! -he glanced down at the wound on his shoulder, he could see it was a mix of red and black- heh, in for a penny... -he looked back using his cutting technique to completely dice up a few demons who came at him,Baphomet looked around frantically- There's tons of them Sky! ... -she dodged one demon and blasted it from behind. The Brothers began chanting in angelic moving in unison, their chanting grew louder before the clouds began raining down piercing bolts of angelic power. Baphomet being struck by one howled in pain- BETH! -Sky jumped tackling her out of the way as a blast just missed her-
With a hiss Sky looked back- OMEGA!!! -through the shower of energy the cloud came down and stopped by him- COME ON! -he plonked her down onto the cloud then jumped on himself to get out of the bolts- Almost there! -he glanced back and saw Lucifer, Beth could see the veins pulsate as Sky seethed with anger as they spread further along his body- I'm going to wipe him out! -Lucifer and Belle were deep in combat, trading bone shattering blows, Belle lashed out with her tail which Lucifer caught and immediately started spinning the demon around and flung her into the air and fired a dual blast of angelic and demonic power at her-
Sky winced wondering how he could help, it was out of his league- Is she afraid to transform? - looked at Beth then back to the fight- Maybe.. -Baphomet grimaced, her body forcibly shifting back to her more standing demonic form, Sky grimaced- I wish B was here to give her some encouragement -he turned back as no sooner had said those words Beelzebub would feel B-man's life force wink out, Beelzebub was able to blast Lucifer back then she felt it- What? ...
-Of course today was the day when he would have been taken off life support, the time zone difference would have men't it was the morning of. Sky looked back wondering why Belle had stopped all of a sudden- Why did she stop?! -he gasped- SHIT! -kicking off he went into free fall as one of Lucifers demons went to strike Beelzebub- LOOK OUT! -he lashed out with a energy blast vaporizing the demons head off. Beelzebub took the brunt of one of Lucifer's devastating strikes allowing her to place both hands on his chest and blast him away. She couldn't feel it....feel him..- What the?
Sky skidded to a stop by Beelzebub- Hey! snap out of it! -he looked back at Lucifer who was righting himself in mid air- Oh hell.-Beelzebub couldn't sense him as if his life force has just winked out- B-Brandon? -he was gone. Just like that and she hadn't been there for him, Sky blinked as he heard his friends name- what? wait, you can sense him all the way from here!? -he blinked seeing her facial expression- no...
-Lucifer took note of what they were saying, Brandon, ... oh!- Oh? .... the mortal? He survived our battle ... well, almost? -he laughed- what's wrong Beelzebub has your new toy broken? 0Sky's blackened eyes focused on Lucifer- YOU BASTARD! -he took his stance as the dark energy started to rise off his body,Lucifer grinned- ... I'm sure you'll get over it ... if you live long enough fledgling, as for you "Dragon" ... if you survive, I'm sure you'll find a new dick to fuck! -he spat the last few words in disgust, Sky stepped forward once then pushed off as his nails came a glow -
-Lucifer blinked out of Sky's line of sight just to feel a sharp blow knock him down to the ground, Sky gasped hitting the ground, bounced then was back on his feet. Several times he tried to attack lucifer but was thwarted at each attempt as Beelzebub just stood there dazed, Lucifer caught one of Sky's hand then yanked the young ex-angel into the air and slammed him down into the ground repeatedly then whipped him towards Beelzebub-
Sky gasped then - KAYO-KEN! -trusting his arms out he used a force blast to pushed his body up and over Beelzebub before landing- it's no good playing it safe anymore... -he looked at Beelzebub seeing that it was no good trying to talk with her at this moment- Oh to hell with it... -he glanced up at Lucifer while Lucifer's body became engulfed with angelic and demonic power as he charged towards them at full speed, Beelzebub's eyes turned black then threw her head back and roared out in unspeakable rage, power coursed through her veins and exploded outwards like it had done so before, blowing back Sky and Lucifer,
Before Sky could act he was thrown backwards into a nearby wall, he barely had time to block as more bits of debris flew at him- _ GABRIEL! YOU GUYS BETTER GET UP HERE!_ -Gabriel mentally roared back.-WE KNOW! -On the ground, Beelzebub's body swelled and grew, her armor burst off of her body as her blacked eyes burst into flames, following her long white hair, Sky growled as he got up just in time to dodge a series of attacks from some more of Lucifers fallen army- Get out of my way! -he roared at the demons, meanwhile Yahweh and the others could sense Beelzebub's power raise out of control-
-There was a sudden overwhelming detonation of hellfire with Beelzebub being ground zero, the shock wave expanded all around vaporizing all but the strongest of warriors, Baphomet grabbed Sky and raised up her mightiest wall of hellfire, only just barely able to save them both, Sky Gasped all of a sudden as Beth appeared and the hell fire went up- T...Thanks -he looked back- Oh god, this is bad....-he looked at beth-. B... He's... -he looked at her knowing he didn't need to say anything at this point as Belle's rage consumed her- I think we have more immediate problems Sky. -she looked towards where Beelzebub had been. There she was, once more in the rage form, but now it looked so much bigger.- Yeah...-was all he said as he looked on-
Damn it. -Lucifer grimaced upon seeing the beast, the large monster turned, its feet stomping hard into the ground and glared at him, Sky grimaced- Beth can you teleport us to the city to help out the people there? -he looked back at Baphomet who looked haggard and exhausted- Not strong enough, took a bit of a beating today ... -she looked up seeing one of Beelzebub's generals- I'll not be of much help to anyone, take what strength I have left, it'll be of more use to you. -he reached out to her, she grabbed his hand and hellfire started passing from him to her. He soon looked tired and weaker as she looked stronger-Thank you. -the General nodded, Baphome grabbed Sky and the two were consumed by Hellfire, Sky instantly found himself once more fighting for his life, however short it may be at this point he fight till this last breath-
-Lucifer pulled himself to his feet as he felt the Earth tremble with each pounding footstep as the Draconic beast charged at him roaring like an enraged animal. He grinned charging up a powerful two handed blast and fired it directly at it. The blast hit, the beast not attempting to dodge, Lucifer's smirked quickly dropped into a frown as the beast continued to push forward, the blast only managing to slow the monster down, he grimaced and pushed more power into his attack which only seemed to fuel the monster's rage further, as it tried to get its claws on him. The beast's head craned over the attack and opened its large powerful jaws and fired a volcanic ball of Hellfire over Lucifer's beam towards the Fallen One himself.-
Damn it! -Lucifer cursed forced to back off from his attack and dodge the hellfire ball, the sheer intensity of it causing the ground to explode upon impact and rain bits of molten rock and fire all over, Sky jerked his head up- HAOU! SHOUKOU-KEN! -thrusting his arms up and outward he let loose the large energy ball attack blowing up a large chunk of molten rock before it hit showering the area in pebbles, he turned back and looked as some more angels and demons were finally rounding up the last survivors of the city-
Baphomet grimaced- This is bad. If the mortal world knows of us ... things could go terribly bad for usYahweh spoke - I shall make sure they have no memory of this, -he looked back at battle behind them then turned his attention back to the mortal survivors, with a wave of his hand and a shout of something ancient the last group vanished in a shaft of silver light, Baphomet looked as if she was going to jump out of her own skin- This is an entire city, there'll be questions about the destruction.-Sky winced- Blame it on UFO's or something -he had been about to say something else when the ground rocked from Beelzebub, a burning figure could be seen high up in the air, actually heading towards them. From the arc of the figure's fall that struck through several buildings utterly demolishing them before coming to a stop in a pile of rubble-
Then they felt that intense burning power, huge, feral and getting closer and fast, Sky winced- Damnit..we might have to fight her too -Beelzebub dropped from the sky like a bomb, landing on her feet with a loud explosive boom, kicking up dust and gravel while roaring savagely, Sky winced as the shockwave knocked almost everyone off their feet, Baphomet grimaced-: Sky, I don't think it'd be much of a fight .... -she replied to his statement with fear in her voice-
Sky growled- she won't stop until Lucifer is a bloody smear mark.-Baphomet winced again as she felt Beelzebubs power increase again- I don't think she will till we all are! -as if to confirm it the enraged Dragon unleashed a torrent of all hellfire at them. Baphomet grabbed Sky and pulled him out of the way, the ground shuddered knocking both of them off their feet, he blinked landing face first in Baphomet's cleavage- Uh.. s.. sorry- he got back up- I wish there was a way to make her snap out of it.
-Beelzebub's focus shifted to something out of sight and charged towards it, only for the building to explode knocking Beelzebub onto her back, Lucifer voice was heard over the explosion- DID YOU THINK I HADN'T PLANNED FOR THIS?! -he roared out in rage. Sky looked back Beth- I'm fresh out of ideas.-Lucifer turned and saw Yahweh and glared at him with indignation- YOU! -he charged towards him grabbing him by the throat- ... you are I have business. -Lucifer unfurled his wings and flew up high into the air, Yahweh tightly in his grasp-
Sky didn't think about the consequences he looked at Gabriel whose wings were too damaged to follow Lucifer- THROW ME!!! HURRY!!-Gabriel grabbed Sky and looked up, waiting till Lucifer was at the highest he'd be, Lucifer shouted over the current sight over the land- Look upon them brother look at the ones mother subjected us to serve. They're weak, pathetic! -he snarled- Your loyal subjects kill each other for greed, for power and position. They are and have always been unworthy of us. -suddenly he grinned cruelly- But I found a use for them. -his eyes lit up as light formed all around the city, burning up from the ground and forming a shape ... a pentagram, Lucifer began to speak in an ancient tongue which caused the pentagram to glow brighter-
Sky Hissed- come on.. come on... NOW!! -Sky felt the severe G forces against his body as Gabriel threw him, in combination with the Kayo-Ken and use of Negative energy he seemed to dematerialize before their eyes, had the Neko finally succumbed to the energy? His life force was gone as well...then from behind Lucifer the feline roar came down at him, Sky's cutting attack sliced threw Lucifer's wings right down to the fallen ones back, before Lucifer could retaliate Sky unleashed what looked like the Denjin Hadouken, only it was laced with the dark energy that sent Lucifer down into the ground like a bolt of lighting and into Beelzebub-
Sky snatched Yahweh in one arm and landed from the free fall, he let the older god but the damage had been done, more of Sky's body had turned black being corrupted, Lucifer and Beelzebub exploded out from their hole. Lucifer's body now a horrible amalgamation of his demon and angelic form, larger now, stronger. Whatever he had done had worked even if to a point. Beelzebub roared unleashing another torrent of volcanic hellfire from her mouth, Lucifer raised a shield to counter the attack, the sheer force was pushing him back however-
Sky grimaced as he tried to stand up- damnit....what are we going to do now? ARGH! -he gasped as the veins spread out along his arms, and neck- ....I know....-he looked back- Maybe....Maybe B's energy is just too weak for her to sense? -he was grasping at straws at this point trying to think of a way for Beelzebub to actually come to her senses and control her new form ,Then it hit him- Baphomet?... -he looked over at her with a serious expression now, The former demon lord looked to him- What, do you have a solution to our current problem?
Sky's eyes met hers- Remember what you did to Lucifer at the neko kingdom a month ago? how you played on his fears?-she nodded- Yes, what're you thinking? -He moved stiffly over to her and put his hands on her shoulders- I know it's a shitty thing to do, but if Beelzebub continues on her rampage and does not stop Lucifer then we are all done for...-Baphomet opened her mouth to argue but stopped- .... You're right, -she said after a few moments of thought- .... its a shitty move. -she shook her head- ... isn't there any other way?
Sky grimaced as he moved back- There's no other way I can see it, none of us have the strength or otherwise to stop Lucifer, and...-he looked down- with Brandon dead....if he really is dead, we can't snap her out of it either. -Baphomet looked at Sky unsure of herself-... I don't know if I can reach her in such a feral state ... but, I can at least focus her rage on someone-Sky paused- What if we found a way to boost your power? just for a brief period? There is a pressure point on a demon's body that can do it.. maybe five or ten minutes ...-She shook her head - Wouldn't work ... however you've given me an idea, two minds are better than one Sky ... I'm going to need your help for this.-Sky blinked a few times- what do you mean?
-Baphomet looked back to the battle starting up again then back to Sky-... this is invasive ... but I'll need to combine our minds, even if for a moment.-Sky nodded slowly- well.. go ahead then -he stood by her and waited, the ground rocked once more as Beelzebub continued her rampage, Baphomet exhaled, then took hold of Sky's mind, her eyes started to glow brightly as she entered in Sky's mind, his very soul and began to pull fuse their minds together, in doing so she saw everything ... everything- Stay calm Sky, its just me ... let it happen, just let it happen
Sky's body stiffened but then he relaxed as she took over, The two were one mentally, both bodies turned to gaze at the rampaging Beelzebub in unison and the two fused minds began to focus, both muttering the same incantation Baphomet had done over a month ago. The Beast paused mid motion and stared ahead, its mind, her mind was filled with Lucifer. His laugh, his tauntings, the bastard continually to beat B-Man till the mortal's body lay broken on the floor, his heart beat now the slow "beep" of a machine, and then the sound of his heart beat cutting out and flatlining, Lucifer's laugh once more-
Yahweh slowly got up from the last bone jarring shaking of the land- If this works we need to subdue Lucifer as soon as he is weak enough-Beelzebub's head twitched to the side, the slowly straightened up once more, her right eye twitching erratically. That was all that filled her mind now; Lucifer. The dragon pulled back its lips in a snarl showing its huge teeth then roared to the sky, other angels and demons joined the small group, each of them waited with baited breath-
-Lucifer and Beelzebub exploded out from their hole. Lucifer's body now a horrible amalgamation of his demon and angelic form, larger now, stronger. Whatever he had done had worked even if to a point. Beelzebub roared unleashing another torrent of volcanic hellfire from her mouth, Lucifer raised a shield to counter the attack, the sheer force was pushing him back however-
-Lucifer removed his shield once the Dragon's attack ceased, he'd been pushed deep into the ground though his barrier kept him unharmed- ... she's stronger than before, larger. How can this be? -he heard the dragon's roar moments before a giant hand reached into the hole he was in and grabbed him by the head, pulled him out before slamming him repeatedly into the ground causing it crack under the blows then threw him high into the sky. Disorientated briefly, Lucifer opened his eyes just to see a large pair of teeth coming dangerously close. He reached out and grabbed the Dragon's jaws before they closed around his head and pushed them open-
Lucifer: I have battled worse than you Dragon! -he roared only to notice the Dragon's throat beginning to glow brighter- Oh N- -Beelzebub unleashed a point blank explosive Hellfire Ball at Lucifer sending the corrupted Angel/Demon hurtling to the floor carried by the ball which exploded upon impact destroying two buildings and sending a powerful shockwave across the battlefield, knocking beings like Sky and Baphomet, whom had mentally unfused, off their feet and sent skidding backwards-
Sky Grimaced then hit something then was a gasp of Agony as he looked down at his chest, some sort of debris or shrapnel had gone through his left hip, he cried out in pain for a moment then grit his teeth as he tried to pull away- _ God B, how do you do it?_-Baphomet got up, having various cuts across her body but seemed unphased by it, a mortal wound. She looked to Sky- Being an "immortal" has its perks Sky. -she muttered to him before looking over his leg.- I don't know healing magic, but I can stop the bleeding.
Sky chuckled painfully- do what you have to, I just need to last a bit longer so we can make sure we take Lucifer down.-Her left hand became engulfed in fire- ... this is going to hurt. -she stuck her finger into the wound and seared it shut as she slowly pulled her finger out. Behind them the earth shook once more followed by a draconic roar as the large beast was thrown across the city tearing through buildings like they were paper before Lucifer gave chase. Elsewhere came another hellfire explosion, Baphomet shouted over the cacophony- This is insane! ... They're going to destroy the whole city!
Sky got up a gasp- We've got to knock that son of a bitch away some distance ....but how? -he pondered that very question for long moment- I don't know...If only Beelzebub could use that kind of power in her smaller form , but no hope in hell for that...-She stood up and helped Sky to his feet- We need to find the pantheon Gods ... we need to end this now. Too much damage has already been caused.-Sky gasped as the black veins in his neck and face pulsated- Y... Yeah -he looked at Yahweh who was already contacting them- You had the best hurry, I am erecting a barrier once more, but in my weakened state I cannot hold it for too long !
Baphomet roared at Yahweh in enraged- Its a little late for a barrier! LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED YOU OLD FOOL! Make yourself damn useful! -she grabbed Sky and unfurled her wings before flying off towards the two battling beasts, She felt the grip from Sky tighten- This might be my last shot Beth....can you dive bomb that bastard?.-she looked at him- To what end?-He looked at her, she could see it in his eyes- I'm going to hit him with whatever I left, if I can hit point blank I think I can get those two clear from the city...-she dared to ask- And you?
Sky smiled sadly but didn't say anything, how could he after all with the black veins growing more and more through his body-she shook her head- No way. We need to find Thor or Zeus or someone! -her expression changed to that of sorrow, she had grown to like this Neko Jin- You're right, we need to get them away from the city, far. Far away. -She looked back in the direction she needed to fly, Sky softly replied-Thank you....-he looked down- If I hit him with enough negative energy it should give us a chance...-She didn't' looked at him as she asked-... you do know death will be the least of your problems right? -she asked before looking down seeing Lucifer tear off one of Beelzebub's horns and impale in in the eye with it only for the large draconic demon to spin around and swat him with her tail-
Sky hissed- Least of my worries, now come on!-Baphomet nodded as her body became engulfed in power- ... You ready? ... -she looked up and flew higher and higher into the air- I've got one shot at this Sky! So this better work or we're all fucked.-Sky let off a feline roar as his muscles tightened along his uniform, his body strained as he went to sixty time his maximum from the Kayo-Ken- NOW! -Getting to the point where the air was almost too thin for Sky Baphomet cartwheeled and dive bombed towards the ground picking up more and more speed-
At the right moment Sky broke free as he pushed away from Beth to force her into a safe distance, his body vanished into what looked like nothingness before reappearing in front of Lucifer who just managed to miss the downward smash from Sky, Lucifers "blood" started to run down his forehead from the near miss, but the neko's tortured body still had some strength left as he pushed off to attack hoping Lucifers own blood had blinded the fallen angel, beginning with a Left Cross punch, followed by multiple punches with a right uppercut, followed by multiple right snap kicks with a left roundhouse, pushing past all the pain that consumed his body Sky pressed forward with the "Chou-KyoKugenryu-Ougi" only this time with a twist, after the double rising uppercut came a howl of rage as Sky unleashed a Negative energy based- CHOU! HAOU-SHOUKOU-KEN!!!
-Lucifer landed on one palm after the uppercuts then pushed himself back up high avoiding the negative based attack and came down with a hammer blow to Sky's head knocking him down following a knee to the chin to bring him back up, a savage right hook to Sky's left cheek and a barrage of punches to Sky's kidneys then a single uppercut under his chin before grabbing his ankle, he turned seeing the rampaging Belle stampeding towards him. A bloodied grin crossed the ancient ones face before throwing Sky at her only to be backhanded away and left forgotten as she continued to storm towards Lucifer and leap at him, using her wings for extra propulsion, Lucifer grabbed her open jaws and held her at bay despite being pushed by a dozen or so feet.-
Sky flew off into the distance, looking as if he had really had it, his lifeless body hit the ground first yet he didn't bounce he just skidded to a stop in the baked dirt, Beelzebub roared pulled her head back catching Lucifer off guard and grabbed the fallen Arch Angel turned abomination and started to squeeze. Lucifer cried out in pain before prying one of his hands free and blasting Beelzebub's other eye, blinding her. The Dragon roared grabbing her face and stumbled back, Lucifer hit the ground and groaned deeply, his wounds were already starting to heal but at a far slower pace, above he could sense Zeus and Thor coming in their direction along with his brothers-
No .... it's all falling apart. -Lucifer groaned and pulled himself to his feet before unfurling his wings once more and took flight, only to crash down due to the damage they had taken, Baphomet landed beside Sky and looked him over.- You suicidal bastard. -she shook her head and looked to the two badly beaten monsters, Beelzebub was roaring frantically as her eye began to regenerate, while Lucifer lay upon a crushed car-I've....been called worse....-Sky replied as he opened his eyes slowly, they were almost completely black as space yet once more he started to get up but could only managed to sit -
-Baphomet aided him- You know, I think we may actually win. -she panted heavily, obviously exhausted herself, Sky growled- Don't... Jinx us-Lucifer roared out as his wing bones snapped back into place, Baphomet cursed aloud- Damn it!-Lucifer looked up and took flight only to be tackled back down by a slightly recovered Beelzebub, she roared at him loudly only to be blasted right in the face by the Fallen One. The attack didn't seem to phase her before she unleashed a point blank torrent of Hellfire from her mouth completely engulfing him-
Sky blinked then gasped- BAPHOMET!! -he shoved her hard out of the way then screamed out as the backwash hit the Neko-Jin in the back throwing him into several fallen structures, Baphomet grimaced then looked upon the battlefield which was barely anything more than a molten crater. The Dragon pulled away, then stumbled before grabbing the horn rammed into her own eye and pulled it out, molten rock, blood and hellfire spurted out of the wound. The Dragon stumbled again before collapsing. Then from the magma rose a hand, and a pain filled cry. Lucifer pulled himself from the melted rock, his wings burnt away, his skin and flesh barely clinging to bone, a single eyes melted and burnt frozen to his cheek.-
-Lucifer barely pushed himself back to his feet before being blown across the street by two combined blasts of lightning, grinding his chargrilled body across the ground, Sky looked up slowly- bout...time... -he groaned from his spot, slowly he pulled himself up only just to lean on a bit of fallen wall--Thor yelled as he landed- At Last! Finally the fallen one falls once more! -he clutched his hammer tightly as he and Zeus strode towards Lucifer, Baphomet came upon Sky and put his arm around her shoulders- I think we should be present for this.
