Demons and animals the fight of the elements[PG16] IC (started accpting in ooc)

[CristalFlames]

Reina looked up at Scratch. She knew she was going to get it. She didn't kill anyone like she had been told. Reina started to shake some. "I'm sorry...." She said quietly. She had lowered her head again. I hope Soul and Joey are okay...What's going to happen to me?....What's Scratch going to do to me?....I deserve whatever it is...I can't do anything right...Why did I have to be a demon?...Why couldn't I be like my family? Reina kept her gaze on the ground.

[ArtemisFowl]

Artemis smiled at the boy. He seemed easy to manipulate, a very useful factor. "Yes, I do. I needed something to carry the books other than my arms. And one person can only carry so many books." He said walking around the room, looking for something. "You know hydraulics are a very useful thing. Like what you see in those old movies." He said pulling out a green book, and reached to the back of the bookcase, and pulled a thin lever. The wall pulled out and revealed a library rack, and a ladder with wheels. "Here you go my boy." He said pulling them out, and pulling the lever. Resulting in the wall slowly moving back to it rightful place.

The demon did not look happy. This was cutting into his precious time. He'd finsh the human off quickly. "Okay then." He said holding out his hand. His entire arm turned into a large curved blade. "Ready to dance?" He asked smiling and changed silently at the stranger ready to kill.

Jecht looked at Joey who was on the ground, having just come frmo the tunnel. Jecht climbed up the mountain of dirt again ((Not an easy task.)) an dreached him finnaly. "Joey." Jecht said to him. Down there Joey looked like he knew exactly what he was doing, so maybe he knew what was going on right now. "What the hell is happening?" He asked completely clueless.

[MortalKombatSmoke]

Scratch laughed and turned Reina around to face him, "Now look, you don't have to be sorry for anything, you were confused right? That's okay!" Scratch had to make her trust him, and he knew how to deal with demons who where Confused...

-meanwhile in the great library-

Knight immediatly grabbed a rack and the ladder, "Thanks!" he said, running off into the library shoving books in separate neat piles.

[CristalFlames]

She nods. Reina noticed he didn't seem as upset as he was before. She figured he must of calmed down. "Yes sir.." Reina didn't want to make him any madder. She knew she worked for him. She remembered. Reina held her tail in her hands nevously. What was going to happen? Was she going to get in trouble or what? She couldn't tell. Reina was always too afraid to read Scratch's mind. She didn't want him to know that she could read minds either. Reina didn't know what would happen if he found out.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Lester seemed to be the only human around that was still awake and then walked around until he found a news crew lying on the ground asleep as well. This has to be that arc angels work, there's no one else that could put humans to sleep in a manner such as this, except for Scratch of course... Lester said and then looked up and saw Jecht and Joey at the top of the cliff and they had not noticed him yet. Better start blending in. Lester went behind the tv van, out of Jecht and Joey's view and collapsed with "sleep".

The human pointed his sword's blade at the demon and smirked. "Let's start with the Waltz." He replied to his comment and made a downward vertical swing with his sword, hoping to land a hit about the demons left shoulder.

[Hotaru987]

After hours of a futile search for Joey, Reina and that guy she was with, Otomi decided it would be best if she just went to her house...Well apartment. It was small but it was more than enough for her to live in. She laid on her bed looking at her peach, creamy skin. "Well...If anything good happened today my skin went back to normal....Besides I have a feeling all of them will be fine." Otomi didn't know why she said all of them seeing as that implied a large group....But it semed like the appropriate thing to say. Otomi rolled over onto her side and looked out the window. In an instant she was on herknees trying to get a better look outside. There was a very familiar loking boy on the ground. And the boy ause a relieved smile to spread across her face. "It' Joey!" She quickly pulled her shoes on and ran outside, going over to him. "Joey...I'v been...L-looking all over for y-you..." Otomi panted. Lucckly for her, not really, she lived on one of the high floors and waiting for the elevator would take too long so she took the stairs.

[Joey Miles]

"Otomi?" joey said as he stumbled over to otomi. As he did his white shirt slowly started to turn red as he colasped to the ground breathing heavly. Whats going on with me. he thought as the world around him began to blur. voices melded together and things seemed to slow down.

"Otomi...jecht....help me." joey said weakly as he felt the warm wet spot on his chest begining to grow larger. As he thought back to what could have done this he remebered one of the flame spears peircing his stomch but he had ignored it and kept fighting which was probley a mistake.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

It wasn't likely that Otomi would notice it, considering the circumstances, but still it's presence is worth noting. A single golden feather was slowly floating down from above onto the group of Jecht, Joey, and Otomi. The feather appeared to be made of the precious metal itself, but if it were touched one would notice that it was very much a normal feather. However, this feather carried with it a small amount of the holy power which coursed through the Arch Angel it had come from. Perhaps if this was recognized it could be used to mend Joey's wound. Also, a few moments after the feather came to rest on the ground in the midst of the group, a soft melody could be heard. It was unlikely that the humans would recognize it, but if Lester happened to hear it he just might recognize exactly whose coming that melody heralded. To human ears it might seem calm, even peaceful, it was a simple tune that seemed to be played with almost imperceptible softness on a Cello.

[MortalKombatSmoke]

Scratch slowly patted Reina on the head, "Now then come with me and I promise you, you will never be confused ever again okay? And afterward I'll give you something better than strawberry shortcake, a whole..." Scratch then leaned his head towards Reina's ear to whisper, "Strawberry cheesecake..." He knew that those words would quickly convince Rein, "Now come with me yes?"

[CristalFlames]

Reina got a big smile on her face when he said that. She nodded. "Okay. Yes sir." Her cat ears perked up straight. Reina really wanted that. She had forgotten all about what had happened before and looked up Scratch. She stared up at him with pleading eyes. "I will come. I want it." Reina told him. She was getting hungry again. She was going to follow him. She forgot about Soul. She forgot about Joey. She forgot about everything except that cake.

[Hotaru987]

Otomi gasped and knelt by Joey turning him on his back and saw his quickly redening shirt. "What the hell were you guys going?" She almost shrieked as she frantically thought of a way to help the bleeding boy on the ground. She hoped Jecht, who she hadn't noticed at first, could do something to help. In the back of her mind she heard a soft calming tune. Otomi didn't know where it was coming from but suddenly she could think much straighter. That's when an idea popped into her head. She didn't know where it came from but Otomi hoped it had worked. She pulled up Joey's shirt to expose the wound, then she placed her hand over it. Otomi took a deep breath a dn closed her eyes. Slowly her skin began changing colors and her clothes melted into water and fell dow her body revealing the same outfit she had on when she first changed. Water droplets were running down her arm and wrapped around Joey's wound. She noticed that she was starting to feel a bit thirsty bit didn't pay any mind to it and focused on helping Joey.

[MortalKombatSmoke]

Scratch chuckled as they walked up to a door (Yes there are doors in hell... deal with it) "Now Reina, Inside are the solutions to all problems you had in that fight okay?" Scratch slowly opened the door and pushed her in, the door then slammed closed and locked behind her, she was in the "Rehabilitation room" all shifty Demons went there for mental tourture beyond belief until all they know is what scratch wants them to know, one being that she serves scratch no matter what, two that she loves strawberry pastries, three that she loves Scratch like a daughter loves her father. "Heh! It'll do ya good!"

[CristalFlames]

Reina started to shake. She couldn't believe she had agreed to come here. She was starting wish she never agreed. She wanted to go back to being with Soul and Joey. "Please let me out! Please!" She cryed. Reina banged on the door. "I want to go back! Please let me out! I will be good!" She kept crying. Reina knew that being in the room was bad. But she was locked in. Reina was trying to open the door but it wouldn't budge. She wanted out and knew she wasn't going to come out the same person she came in as. "Someone help..."She cried turning around to see what was in the room.

[^l~Soul~l^]

Soul looked around as he noticed he was outside.He looked around and noticed Reina wasn't there.He wasn't sure how he got there but he whispred to himself "No...i couldn't have left her there."He looked into the hole and thought.Ididn't...i didn't leave her there.He kept arhueing with himself and jumped into the hole.He saw Scratch and he scowled "Where is she!?Where is Reina!?"His arms started glowing blue and he sais this as if he was a million people "Where is Reina you freak!?"He couldn't control himself he went after the man and stopped in the middle of the place.

[MortalKombatSmoke]

In the room there was nothing, but illusions that tortured the minds of those who entered. Scratch then saw as soul approached him, "Well! What are you doing here!?" Scratch then turned into his demon form, his voice became dark and disturbing and he walked on two oat legs, and every couple of words he said, fire would spit out of his mouth, Scratch then wrapped his hand around Soul's neck and lifted him in the air, "What's it to you!? You have no power down here! I rule hell! NO LOW LIFE EX DEMON CAN STOP ME HERE!"

[^l~Soul~l^]

Soul looked at Scratch as he held his neck "Look...I don't wanna fight"He scowled at him and he looked over his shoulder at his sword.He looked back at him and said "I just wanna know...where Reina is."He heard something that he couldn't make out.It was coming out of a door behind Scratch "Who's behind that door?"He was about to go look but he was being held by Scratch.How could i escape from him?I could hurt him..but i said i didn't want to fight.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

OOC: Sorry, but it's not like Kio's gonna just let Scratch kill someone who's doing good.

 

With a loud rush of wind and sound like a thunder clap in one's own ear a golden blur shot down out of the sky into the very hole which Soul had leapt into. The entity who had produced this blur came crashing down onto the surface only a meter from where Scratch and Soul were locked in combat. The being was clad completely in golden armor which shone with holy light even within the pit of Hell itself. His massive golden wings were extended above himself as they had been to increase the speed of his dive. Many golden crosses hung from armor plating which protected the bones of his wings from harm. In his right armored hand he grasped the hilt of a gigantic claymore which was twisted slightly just above the hilt and then straightened out into a straight, one-edged golden blade. Silver hair hung down in his face, covering his eyes and his left hand was upon the ground. He had knelt as he landed to reduce the impact and now he came to stand, being only barely shorter than Scratch in his Demon form. As he stood, he brought his wings down and extended them off to his sides. It was possible that the sheer aura of holiness radiating from him would be enough to burn Scratch, but it probably wouldn't do anything severe. He smiled slightly as he brushed the silver hair out of his eyes, whose piercing silver irises were focused directly on Scratch's face. This was the Archangel Kiokama, the very same one who had once been the son of Scratch, who he knew as Lucifer.

 

"It's good to see you again...Father."

[MortalKombatSmoke]

"Reina is out doing a job for me!" Scratch then threw Soul to the ground, "Now then..." suddenly fifteen demons guards appeared around Soul, "Get the F*ck out or else! And what is behind that door Is none of your business!" Scratch then summoned his blade, "Now then, go away." Scratch knew that Reina wouldn't be in there for long so he just had to make enough time so she could be fully brainwashed.

 

Then his son came out of nowhere, "You... You dare come to me in my domain boy!?"

[CristalFlames]

Reina started to scream. She couldn't take anymore. She kept crying. Reina was scared and didn't like this one bit. She curled up in a corner putting her hands over her ears and shutting her eyes tighting. Her tears continued to fall. She screamed hoping it would all stop soon. Make it stop! I want out! Someone help me! I can't take anymore! I'll be good! I'll listen! Please I want out! Reina curled up more. She wanted to get out of there so much. She was about to do anything to get out. Her eyes turned blood red.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Kiokama smiled slightly, noticing that his appearance had put his father on edge. He simply intensified the energy he was releasing with his aura to the point that it was unbearable for the Demon guards. The cheer amount of pain would likely force them to flea as Kiokama calmly stepped closer, bringing up his claymore to rest on his right shoulder. His left arm now began to tremble as his Aura receded, this trembling was caused by the sudden buildup of holy energy in his left palm. The energy formed a sphere off of which small spurts of holy energy were flying. The orb resembled a ball of lightning and was spinning rapidly in his hand. In all likelihood, Scratch would know what he was planning to use that energy for.

 

"Yes, father, I do. And though my visit will be short-lived, I'm not going to be leaving without this one and the one behind that door"

 

As he said "this one" he gestured with a nod of his head towards Soul, and as he finished the statement, he aimed his left hand at the door behind which Reina was being kept. The ball of energy seethed and began to spin faster every instant, causing a loud electric hum to course through the air. Small arcs of holy energy began jumping off of it like jolts of electricity. Kiokama's expression remained the same, with a pleasant smile on his face as he gazed up into his father's eyes.

[^l~Soul~l^]

Soul looked at the angel and ignored him.He wanted Reina now.He hopped up and shoved a knife into the two gaurds infront of him and quickly pushed them out of his way.He wanted Reina.He wanted her out as much as she did.He quietly pick locked the door and saw Reina in a corner.He picked her up and put her feet on the ground so she could stand."Reina...speak to me."He waited for an awnser but she said nothing.He looked at her and said "Please...Reina...talk to me."He looked at her and waited for her to speak and he felt a tear run down his check.

[CristalFlames]

She stared at him. Her eyes were blood red. Reina had finally snapped. Her legs felt like rubber. She just stood there staring at him. Her face was emotionless but her eyes blood red. She was almost in her full demon form. Her cat fangs had appeared in her mouth and her nails had grew a bit longer. Reina started to fall. She was too exuasted to stand. Her mind was still being tortured. She kept thinking about what she had seen in her head.

[^l~Soul~l^]

Soul looked at her as she stated to fall he quickly put his arms out and caught her."Reina please...speak to me."Another tear ran down his face.He didn't like to see her like this.She was hurt.He didn't want to cry but he couldn't help it.He looked at her as she turned into a half demon.He didn't care what she was he only cared that she was hurt.She didn't deserve all this pain.He thought about this for a minute...he desrved all this pain.He caused al this.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Seeing that Soul had opened the door, Kiokama changed his aim. He turned his hand to aim directly at Scratch's chest. A look of regret shot across his face for half an instant as he unleashed the holy energy into his father. Rather than send it out as a single focused burst, he let it spread out into several individual bursts which could easily have torn a lesser demon to pieces. However, as it was the devil himself and Kiokama was reluctant to kill his father, it was likely that Scratch would be knocked unconscious or stunned. Regardless, this would only give him a few moments. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the door, before ducking inside. Once inside, he grabbed both Reina and Soul under his arms as he brought his Claymore onto his back. He locked it in place there against his armor and, wrapping an arm around each of their waists, he tore out of the door. Running right back to the point of entry he extended his wings up above himself, aiming their tips straight into the air. He cast one final glance at his father for now "This will only make it harder, but I will save you," He thought as he simultaneously leapt into the air and brought his wings down in a mighty flap. This sent the three of them hurtling into the hole which would take them out of hell and back to the surface. Though it was closing fast he kept going, using all his strength to propel himself up and out of hell. Just as the hole was about to close to a size too small for the three of them to escape, Kiokama tore out of the ground, rising into the air above the surface. He let out a sigh of relief as he looked down at the two he was carrying and hoping against hope that Reina could be saved.

 

"You alright?"

 

OOC: Let's just say this came AFTER CrystalFlame's post.

[CristalFlames]

Reina looked at him. "Soul....?" She started to come to. "Soul...how did you get here?..." Reina asked. She looked around.. Her mind was still being tortured but she didn't tell Soul. She didn't want him to worry. Reina looked at him. "I'm sorry Soul..." She wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him. Reina was trying so hard to say in control. She didn't let go of him. She was afraid to."Where am I?" She looked at the stranger.
