Blood Blue Kuro no Ōji [ IC / Started / Not Accepting ]

[.:Blu:.]

Unaware of his surroundings, Shota attempted to take a seat at his desk only to have Tatsuya throw his own desk at Shota which made a loud thud on impact with Shota. Dizzy and half unconscious, Shota lie there with a comical expression and blood running down from his forehead. When Shota finally recovered his composure, and at an astounding rate, he was given quite the verbal beating from Tatsuya. "Hey shut the hell up! The only reason I wasn't fighting is because... Uhh, well I... S-Shut up!" Shota responded, not knowing what excuse to make for not fighting. "If I was fighting I could beat all of those demons in no time! And don't go yelling at me unless you want a fist in your face!" Shota shouted.

"Really Shota? Let's face it, you haven't killed one demon last night. Tsukihana killed about 32 demons, Tatsuya killed 29 demons, and even Minawe killed about 3 or 4 demons, but you didn't kill anything at all... You're pathetic..." Rikka coldly said. "I-I-I don't have to prove anything to you people!" Shota said before crossing his arms and closing his eyes to ignore everyone. Hearing what everybody had said, Shin walked towards Rikka to find out what had happened. "Wait, so there was an outbreak of demons here last night?" Shin asked curiously. "Yeah, about 100 or so, pretty large swarm... However, they were all small fries, you're typical run of the mill demons, they didn't give us too much trouble..." Rikka explained.

"Oh I see... Well I'm glad that nobody got injured too badly." Shin said with a friendly smile. "And what were you doing last night Shin...?" Rikka questioned. "Uhhh well..."

[Shin's House]

"Yeah, that should about do it. At least for when I'm not using Shin's body." Faust said as he was inspecting a blank mannequin.

[Nirvana Ordinis]

"You really don't want to know..." Shin said with a nervous smile. "Okay class, it looks like yesterday's little incident was the caused of a large dimensional rift opening between this realm and Abaddon. Usually a dimensional rift wouldn't be that great of a deal but apparently this rift seems to have been enlarged. Still that doesn't sound out of the ordinary but this enlargement wasn't natural, it was man-made..." an exorcist teacher with medium-length brown hair and a lazy look on his face said as he walked into the classroom. Shin walked back to his seat, which was near the front of the class so Shin could lesson to lectures much easier.

"But enough about that, the Knights of Nirvana division are investigating that incident as we speak, but for now let us review Verse VI, yes, I am speaking of the demon 'pet' summoning spell. You know what to do, force your soul out from the palm of your hand to create a small dimensional rift and call forth a demon animal." the teacher explained. "Umm, but don't you remember what happened last time Prof. Uyagiri?" a young exorcist asked.

"Yes, yes Takagi, last time Ms. Minawe summoned a fire-breathing cat with horns into the room that burned off your eyebrows BUT that does not mean we must give up on this Verse. If you are successful in summoning and taming a demon, well, you got yourself a demon pet that can fight alongside you and you won't be needing to sign a contract. So, get started!" Uyagiri said before laying back lazily in his chair.

-Meanwhile-

"Maka, it's so wonderful to see you." Satan greeted Maka in a calm and devious voice. "The reason I called you here to do is to test out a new invention from the brilliant minds over at the science division. It's a device that can temporarily open up a rift to Terrene and it will also allow you to travel back... of course within the time limit." Satan spoke that last part with evil intentions overflowing in his delivery. "No matter, I'm sure someone like you will have no trouble getting back in time." Satan claimed.

"Now, let me explained the other purpose you'll need to fulfill for me... As you know, the ex-Demon Lord Cornon attempted to steal the Bane of Purgatory, a sword used by one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Well, he failed... But, someone else has been able to stole it and has placed it within Terrene... The location of the Bane of Purgatory is said to be located in a city called Nichibotsu City. I want you to go there along with Azayl and retrieve the weapon. Understood?" Satan asked.

Azayl, the Demon Prince of Wrath, walked up next to Maka and bowed. "Understood Father..." Azayl replied in a soft voice. "The reason I wanted Azayl to accompany you is because his incredible senses can easily pick up the Bane of Purgatory, making your job easier and giving you time to return back to Abaddon along with the prince." Satan explained before a small black shard with an ominous purple center shot out from the black flame wall and ended up near Maka's feet. "To activate it, all you need to do is throw into the air and force some of your soul into the shard." Satan explained.

[Hotaru987]

As the teacher walked the commotion in the clssroom quieted down, and eventually became nonexsistant as the teacher began speaking. He gave a brief talk about what happend last night, but not even a demon invasion would stop him from giving us an assgnment on sumoning demon pets. Minawe blushed andheld her head down as Takagi expressed his concerns about this lesson after what happened last time. She had been apologizing for that ever since the incident. Once Prof. Uyagiri sat back in his chair it signaled the rest of the students to try yet another demon pet summoning.

Minawe hesitantly he'll out her hand. Maybe trying to summon a fire demon was a bad idea considering how clumsy she was. She looked at her hand and dropped her head in defeat. Should she evn attempt it again?

"Idiot." Minawe looked to her left and saw Rei standing by her desk. "You know that's not my name."

"Like I give a damn. So who are you planning on maiming this time?" Minawe's right eye twitched. "It's not like I seriously injured him or anything. It was just his eyebrows, and they grew back...Sorta..."

(Epic Narrator voice) -In Abaddon-

Maka levitated the stone until it was eye level and grabbed it. "Well of course. I live to serve afterall." She giggled slightly at the end, both the giggle and her tonelessning the meaning of the words. Maka turned her head to face Azayl her ever present smile on her face. "I suppose we she head out." Aftr grabbing the foating stone she stood off of her scythe, of course still hovering in the air sightly, and gave the stone a light toss while channeling her soul into it. The stone gave off a dim light, while steadily glowing brighter before a man sized portal appeared swirling outwards. The center was a deep purple, and as it expanded it changed to a dark black. "Hn, its surprisingly attractive to look at." Maka mused then nodding towards Azayl. "After you my Prince." Her smile widened as if she found the whole thing as some kind of sick joke.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Tatsuya let out a sigh. "[i]Seriously? We still have to work? And these damn pet summonings. Really?![/i]" He held his hand out but it was in a fist. "[i]My soul isn't exactly normal. It has better demon killing properties than most. A low demon going through a gate I create will most likely die. Oh well. That's one less demon in the worlds.[/i]" He opened up his hand to reveal his palm. Then he started putting some of his soul into it. "[i]If you actually think you're worthy enough then you better be as strong as Satan himself![/i]"

[.:Blu:.]

Shin sat at his desk, trying his best to force his soul into his palm but to no avail. "Aww man... Why can't I do the same thing that I did last night with the pipe?" Shin asked himself before putting out a depressing sigh. Looking around, Shin could see some people have already got the Verse down, especially Rikka who had just summoned a small ice fox demon. Looking to Rei, Shin noticed that he wasn't participating in the lesson at all but maybe since he's a demon, calling another weaker demon from Abaddon is extremely easy for him. "Minawe looks hesitant. Hehe, I can't blame her." Shin said with a little chuckle.

"C'mon baby, gimme something good!" Shota shouted as he forced his unstable soul into the palm of his hand which only caused a poof of smoke to appear. "W-What?! No way!" Shota shouted in surprise that he couldn't summon anything, but to most people, that wasn't a surprise in any way. "Tatsuya seems to be really focusing... His determination is pretty scary too..." shin said as a sweat drop form on his head after seeing Tatsuya's facial expression. "(I can't waste time either, I have to complete this Verse.)" Shin thought to himself as he held out his palm and closed his eyes to focus better. Forcing his soul into his palm, Shin was able to feel his energy radiating from his palm. Finally, a dimensional rift opened and what came out of it surely shocked Shin.

Surfacing from the rift was a small red demon with tiny demon wings, horns, a small tail, and a brown loincloth as its only clothing. "Huh? The hell? This doesn't look like Abaddon one bit." the red demon said in a high pitch, yet at the same time low, voice. "Gah! What in the world? A small demon that can talk!" Shin shouted causing a lot of people to look at Shin. "Uhh... Hehe, nothing to see here people..." Shin said with a nervous laugh hoping to get everybody's attention off of him. Once they finally turned away, Shin put out a sigh of relief. "So kid, is this Terrene?" the red demon asked. "Yeah, how'd you know?" Shin asked. "Well it reeks of human here and plus Abaddon is nowhere near this... green." the red demon responded.

At Tatsuya's desk, a demon began emerging from the dimensional rift Tatsuya opened, however, before it could completely surfaced the demon instantly evaporated.

In front of the school yard, three male exorcists, instead of being in class, were lounging around lazily. Suddenly, footsteps can be heard walking towards the school. "So this is that Nirvana Ordinis Academy that the human mentioned... Tch, what a piece of crap." Faust's voice can be heard saying. Then, Faust appeared at the front of the school wearing the academy's outfit. "This outfit seems to fit me pretty comfortably, still, someone like me shouldn't be seen wearing this stuff." Faust said to himself. "Hey Shiro, check it out." one of the three exorcists said as he pointed at Faust. "Never seen him around here before, must be a newbie. How about we show him the ropes, Jinta, Yuji." the apparent leader, Shiro, said to the other two.

-Meanwhile-

Hearing Maka telling him to go first, Azayl didn't make any comment at all and simply walked through, an ever present "sadness" showing visibly on his face. Going through the portal, Azayl instantly arrived on the outskirts of Nichibotsu Forest, a forest just on the edge of Nichibotsu City. Waiting for Maka to go through the portal as well, Azayl began to speak. "My father said that we would have three days before the portal closes permanently..." Azayl simply said without looking back.

[Hotaru987]

Minawe still hadn't begun to summon a demon from Abaddon in fear of a repeat of last time. But this time it could be the entire classroom that gets damaged instead of some kid's eyebrows. She continued to stare at her hands small beads of sweat rolling down her face from the heavy nerves she was feeling. "Gah, I can't do this. I? Too nervous." Minawe looked over to Rei, who had been boredly watching the other kids in the class either progress or fail. "Rei could you please help me. You're a demon. Give me some pointers on what to look for. What should I do?"

At Rei's silence Minawe figured that she would be stuck with her proble alone, but Rei finally spoke. "Look your problem last time was that you got a demon you couldn't control. It was not only too strong but you weren't compatible with it."

"So does that make us compatible." Minawe said slyly. Rei only gave her a blank look, "I can kill you, you know." The young exorsist laughed while Rei continued with his explination. "You need to channl your soul to open a gate that will only pass a demon you are compatible. I know this may b hard for you, but use your brain and think 'What do you have that the others don't?'" Minawe place a finger benieth her chin as she thought a goo long while. Finally she smiled, "Two left feet" Rei resistedthe urge to smack himself in the face. Instead he sighed, "No, idiot. Here, I'll throw you another bone. Think in the terms of attribute."

[I]'Atribute?...What does he mean by that?[/I] She thought not completely understanding what Rei was getting at. Minawe crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair as she thought. The last demon she summoned was was fire demon...Attribute...."I got it!!!" She exclaimed startling most of the kids around her. She held out her hands and tried to visualize her "soul" in the palm of her hand creating a bridge to the other realm. [I]Alright now use this to attract the demons of lightening like Rei and myself....[/I]

~Meanwhile~

"Yeah, yeah three day I got it. It's not like we'll be trapped here if we happen to mis the deadline." Maka yawned placing her scythe behind her head with on hand, and her other hand on her hip. She hated coming to Terrene. The smell always offended her. It was too pure, and clean for her liking. "So where are we heading first? You can sense the bane of pugatory thing right?" She yawned again persnaly finding the actual job boring. But she was hoping that there would b some 'fun' on the way. Maka loved it when there was 'entertainment' on a job, and hopefully this one wouldn't be so different.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

"The wimp couldn't handle another second. [i]But Like Hell That'll Stop Me![/i]" He sent more of his soul into his palm. Tatsuya didn't really care much about actually being able to summon a demon. He just wanted to pass the class and if he was going to do this he might as well try his hardest. There was also a bit of a pride factor in this. Contrary to popular belief he was a C-rank exorcist so if some lame ass demons or D-rank exorcists can do it he should be able to as well. "[i]Come on you damn wimpy as f*ck demons. There's got to be one of you who's strong enough to make it.[/i]"

[.:Blu:.]

"Well my name is Redder, got it memorized kid?" Redder, the demon Shin summoned, told Shin. "Redder? Well that's a pretty simple name, I mean your skin color is red and your name is Redder, not very creative..." Shin replied only to got kicked in the face by Redder. "Oof... What was that for?" Shin asked, grabbing a hold on his bleeding nose. "Don't make fun of my name kid! So tell me, for what purpose did you summon me here for?" Redder asked. "Umm, I don't really have a personal purpose for summoning you, I just summoned you for a grade in my class." Shin explained. "Ahh what the hell! I was enjoying a relaxing sleep you know!" Redder complained. "S-Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you like that." Shin said.

Uyagiri opened one of his eyes to peer around the room to check on the exorcists progress. "Ehh... Just another bunch of typical summonings, nothing to rave about- Huh? Wait, what's this, looks like Shin's got himself a low-level talking demon, now that's a rare summoning." Uyagiri claimed.

Focusing on the rift she is opening, Minawe's soul began forming a portal just above her palm. Finally, a small yellow hedgehog-like demon with electrified spines surfaced from the portal and landed onto Minawe's hand. "Ehh? Where am I at? Hmm, it's a human! Arrg, I'll fight back if you try anything funny!" the small hedgehog demon warned as its spines began to form an electrical cloud. Suddenly, it calmed down when it saw Rei. "Hmm, you're a demon, what are we doing here?" the hedgehog demon asked in a high-pitch and rather cute voice, not so formidable for a demon. It seems that Rei's advice payed off after all, but that's no surprise since Rei is a demon and knows about Abaddon well.

Now with Tatsuya really concentrating, a rather larger portal formed above Tatsuya's hand. It seems as if this time, Tatsuya was really putting his all into this attempt. What happened next was quite the shock, to the professor as well. What arrived from Tatsuya's portal was a small demon covered in a red samurai armor wearing a long red scarf which had blue flames at the ends of the scarf. Other than that, the demon had a silver-colored ponytail coming from the back of its helmet and the demon carries two katanas on its back. The demon's face couldn't be seen as it was covered by the helmet, however, its red eyes were visible. The demon looked to Tatsuya. "Were you the one who summoned me...?" the demon asked in a calm voice.

Sensing the samurai demon, Uyagiri opened both of his eyes and sat up on his chair. "What the- Tatsuya... I can't believe it, in only two days he was able to summon such a powerful combat demon..." Uyagiri said, his eyes widened at the surprise.

At the school yard, Faust was confronted by the three exorcists from before, Shiro, Jinta, and Yuji. "Well, well, look what we got here boys. So, what are you, a new student?" Shiro asked Faust. Faust glared at the three exorcists with annoyance. "How about you and your boyfriends step aside, before I kick the living s*** out of all of you." Faust warned. "Ohh, so you think you're tough huh kid?! Let's see how tough you are after we kick your ass!" Shiro replied as he launched a punch towards Faust...

-Meanwhile-

Within Nichibotsu City, a man wearing a [url=http://library.thinkquest.org/J001272F/history/Institute/japanese/strawhat.jpg]sugegasa[/url] walked through the city streets carrying something long within some pieces of cloth. The man's eyes were hidden by the sugegasa as he continued walking, no one was paying any attention to him at all. "My time will soon come... But first, I must rid the world of this [i]evil[/i]..." the man whispered to himself as he held up what he was carrying.

Back on the outskirts of Nichibotsu forest, Azayl and Maka were ready to head towards the city. "The Bane of Purgatory... I can feel its faint soul... It's within the city, through this forest." Azayl replied to her question, not looking at Maka. "This forest is quite lengthy, but I guess that won't be a problem..." Azayl said before walking off into the forest without waiting for Maka.

[Hotaru987]

"You're here because that idiot actually managed to do something right for a change." Rei said leaning against the wall to Minawe's left and crossed his arms. Minawe, on the other hand, had been staring at the small yellow demon with wide eyes. She couldn't believe she had managed to summon a demon. And the best part was that it wasn't going all out of control. The small demon's voice sliced through her stupor and the secnd she was back in her right mind she scooped the demon into her hands, smushing it to her cheek, "You are just the most cutest and adorable thing I have ever seen in my life!" Minawe gushed happily.

^Meanwhile^

Maka floated leisurly behind Azayl once again on her scythe but this I'm she was laying on it horizontally. The eyes on the scythe began to swival in their sockets looking all around the forest, while Maka was tapping her foot to some unknown beat. "This is boring." She said after a while a childish whine in her voice. "I need someting to do."

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Tatsuya looked over the demon for a bit before answering. "No, it was the stupid cowardly lame ass guy over there," he said sarcastically as he pointed to Shota. "On a serious note, yes. My name is Tatsuya Takeda. I summoned you." He reached into his jacket and pulled out the handle of Soul Slasher. "I am the holder the of the twin swords that satan himself fears so much that he stole and locked them locked them away in Abaddon for 500 years."

Tatsuya pointed the handle at the demon and not even a second after the red energy was flowing out of the blade until stopping an inch in front of the samurai demon. "I can think of three reasons as to why I should kill you right now. One. You're a demon. Enough said there. Two. You look weak and you're pretty small. You don't look like you'd last five seconds in combat. Three. I don't like your ponytail. Now if you can think of three good reasons as to why I should let you live and keep you as my pet then I'll let you."

[.:Blu:.]

"So umm... Here's the demon I was able to summon Prof. Uyagiri. He said his name is Redder." Shin said as he placed Redder on Uyagiri's desk. "So, does this kid get a grade or what?" Redder asked. "Well, well, interesting Shin, it looks like you are able to summon a talking demon. That's quite a feat, though your classmates Minawe and Tatsuya were able to summon combat demons, which goes even further, but nonetheless you pass with an A Shin..." Uyagiri lazily explained while leaning back on his chair. "Yes! An A, thanks Redder!" Shin said happily. "Don't mention it kid, but of course now that you have summoned me, I'm basically like your mentor now so go get me something to eat now!" Redder commanded Shin. "Uhh, sure I guess..." Shin said before placing Redder on his palm and walking outside the classroom.

"So you summon me here? Well... I guess that's better than wandering aimlessly in Abaddon until I die..." the hedgehog demon said when it heard Rei's response to why it's here. "So, my name is Lumi, and I guess from now on you're my caretakerrrrrr!" Lumi shouted as he was swept quickly into a tight squeeze by Minawe. Pressed against her cheeks, Lumi struggled to escape. "I-I-I c-can't breathe..." Lumi struggled to say. "(I think I spoke to soon... this human's gonna squeeze me to death.)" Lumi thought to itself. Suddenly, Lumi's defense mechanism kicked in and it discharged high voltage electricity shocking Minawe. In this moment, Lumi was able to escape Minawe's clutches and landed on her desk. Letting out a sigh of relief, Lumi began lecturing Minawe. "Hey were you trying to suffocate me?! I know I'm adorable and soft but I'm not some teddy bear okay!" Lumi shouted.

A lot of people were starring at Minawe when she got shocked, while Takagi, the person who got his eyebrows burned off, started laughing. Uyagiri just sat there without even bother looking at what had happened. "Hey, I'm trying to have a private conversation, what are all of you looking at!" Lumi warned everybody, the quills on its body began to surge with electricity. Seeing this, everybody turned back around to look at their own little demons.

Seeing the energy blade emitted by Soul Slasher didn't phased the samurai demon at all. "Three reasons to why you shouldn't kill me... correct?" the demon samurai asked calmly. "Well-" Suddenly, the samurai demon disappeared and reappeared behind Tatsuya holding his own sword against Tatsuya's neck. "I only need one reason... You can't kill me..." the samurai demon warned. "Your blades... They are an extension of your body and soul... And all I can feel from your blades are hatred and anger... Blades filled with hatred and anger are the weakest of blades no matter how powerful they are child..." the samurai demon told Tatsuya.

Looking up, Uyagiri saw that Tatsuya and his demon were already on bad terms with each other, but Uyagiri knows that the demon wouldn't kill its summoner. "Ehh... Tatsuya that hothead... He needs to learn to calm down once in awhile..." Uyagiri muttered to himself.

"P-Please, we give up!" a bloodied Shiro said as he crawled back away from Faust who stood there with bloody knuckles. "So, you miserable pieces of s*** are scared now huh? Pitiful... Someone of your stature isn't even worthy of breathing the air I breathe. Now, since I'm feeling generous, I'll give you to the count of three to run away. One..." Faust began. As quickly as they could, the three exorcists stood up from the ground and ran off. "Humph, pathetic..." Faust said before walking into the school. "Oh, I should probably find a place to wash off these idiots' blood shouldn't I?" Faust asked himself. "Boy, for an exorcist school, I do smell a lot of demons here..." Faust said.

-Meanwhile-

Ignoring Maka's whining, the two continued trekking through the forest. Finally after enough whining, Azayl turned to face Maka. "I think it would be best to just focus on the objective at hand wouldn't it?" Azayl asked in his usual soft, somewhat weak, voice. "By the way, I'm thirsty so I'm going to go get some water from a nearby spring whose scent I just picked up... Would you like me to bring you back any water are fruits?" Azayl hesitantly asked.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

The energy emitted from from Soul Slasher suddenly stopped flowing. He yawned as he put the handle back into his jacket. "I'm waiting for the other two." Tatsuya cared even less than the samurai demon did about being close to death. He was a stubborn kid and even being so close to death didn't change what he wanted. "Quite frankly I don't even think I should count that one so be grateful. I'm still waiting for a reason why I should put up with the fact that you're a demon and should stay alive because of that fact. And to why I should live with that stupid haircut. Although I guess we could just get it cut. You'll look cooler without it. Trust me. You seem strong enough though. You could use some work but who couldn't?"

[Hotaru987]

Rei loked at Minawe with a sall sweatdrop as she scooped the tiny demon up. "Um, I dont think that's a good idea. It could turn out badly." His warning fell on deaf ears as the young exorsist continued to squeeze the demon. Before she knew it white dance in front of her eyes when Lumi discharged a rather powerful electric shock through Minawe's system. "EEEEOOOWWWWWWW!!!" Once the attack was over Minawe fell to the floor looking comically burnt, with 'X's for eyes and smoke coming from her mouth.

Rei looked down at Minawe and then towards Lumi. "You are interesting I will admit. Quite a surprise that the idiot was able to summon somethinglike you. Maybe now she won't be gettng on my nerves as much." He said already planning on using Lumi as a scapegoat if the need arises. "Ugh, what happened. Last I remember is seeing white and then nothing." Minawe sat up and looked around her eyes finally landing on Lumi. She was instantly on her feet again staring at Lumi wit a bright smile and instantly had Lumi back in her arms. "It's nice to meet you Luna. I'm Minawe and this is my partner Rei."

+Meanwhile+

Maka faced Azayl for a moment her smile having left her face. He was no fun at all. No anger, nor any signs of annoyance, and he as supposed to represent wrath? A few secondsand her smile returned full force, widening to almost the entire length of her face. "Since you asked I would love some fruits. Dont't over exert yourself now." She finished with a tilt of her head and a small giggle. When he finally left she frowned and laid down across te scythe again. "Why couldn't Lord Saten pair me with someone a bit more entertaining." She sighed over dramatically. "I suppose I should be paitent. He may surprise me."

[.:Blu:.]

The samurai demon gave a sigh before sheathing his sword and disappearing from Tatsuya's shoulder back onto his desk. "You child are stubborn beyond belief... Even close to death you do not fear me and in fact talk back to me with such a casual tone..." the samurai demon told Tatsuya. "I have no reasons to give to someone like you... However, since you summoned me, I am bound to this world along with you. If you want to kill me, by all means try it, but to warn you, I will fight back..." the demon said without turning around. "Before I go, I must tell you that this isn't my hair you fool... It's horsehair that's placed upon my helmet as a sign of honor..." the demon said before disappearing from plain sight.

Being held by Minawe again, Lumi was afraid that it would get squeezed tightly once again. However, it seems this time Lumi was smart enough to prepare to discharge electricity if anything were to happen. Hearing the introduction, Lumi jumped off of Minawe's hand and climbed onto her head. "My name's not Luna, it's Lumi!" Lumi shouted, tapping Minawe's head with its paw. "And don't you try to suffocate me with your death hug again or else I'm gonna shock you!" Lumi warned. "Now I'm hungry, get me an apple!" Lumi demanded.

Suddenly, the door to the classroom was kicked open. Walking inside was Faust with both hands casually inside his pants. With that loud kick, everybody was now looking at Faust who just casually walked in. "Umm are you a student? What purpose do you have for kickin-" Uyagiri was rudely interrupted by Faust. "I'm looking for a guy named Shin, any of you people seen him?" Faust demanded to know. "Who are you?" Uyagiri questioned. "None of your business just tell me what I want to know." Faust answered casually. Shin, making his way back to Uyagiri's classroom noticed someone familiar standing in front of the door, Faust. "What the- Is that- Gah!" Shin quickly ran into the classroom. "Hey cousin, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay home?" Shin said with a nervous smile.

"Cousin? What the hell are you talking-" Faust was interrupted by Shin who tried to get Faust to leave. "So cousin, why don't we just go outside and talk for a bit huh?" Shin said. Suddenly, the phone at Uyagiri's desk began to rang. "Prof. Uyagiri speaking." Uyagiri answered as he picked up the phone. "Ahh I see... I'll send some people right away." Putting down the phone, Uyagiri turned to the class. "Tatsuya, Minawe, and Rei, a high-level demon has possessed a person in the Fuyu District. We need you three to get over there right away and take care of things. You three should be able to handle the demon. Unfortunately, the Knights of Nirvana are investigating yesterday's incident, and other higher-ranking exorcists are working on other missions currently. Think of this as an extra credit assignment." Uyagiri stated.

"A high-class demon... Maybe it will know something about Abaddon..." Faust whispered to himself before running off. "H-Hey wait!" Shin said.

-Meanwhile-

Washing up his face with the spring's refreshing water, Azayl decided to rest a little bit before going back. "I should probably get back, but I really don't want to be travelling with Maka..." Azayl said to himself before standing up. "Hopefully she won't be whining as much once I get her these fruits..." Azayl said before walking off towards Maka's direction. However, before Azayl could go back, he started having a headache. "Ugh..." Loosing his balance, Azayl stumbled towards a nearby tree. Once his hand made contact with the tree. The tree began to wilt rapidly. Finally, Azayl's headache had subsided, leaving Azayl on his knees breathing rather heavily. Looking up, the surrounding area seemed to have died. All the trees and plants have wilted, the spring water became impure and polluted, birds and other small animals have also died off.

Horrified by what he had done, Azayl began to shed some tears. "N-Not this again..." Azayl muttered as he looked at a baby bird falling from a tree branch, dead before it even touched the ground.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Tatsuya was pissed when the demon samurai just up and and left. "The little hypocritical bastard. He's one to talk about being stubborn. And he didn't even bother to tell me his name. The rude bastard. I hope I never have to see him again." He stood right up. "Hey Uyagiri. I summoned the demon. You saw it, right? Do I still get an A?" Before Uyagiri had a chance to respond some guy kicked down the door. "What the hell?" He sat back down. After a little bit ity was revealed that the kid was Shin's cousin or something.

Tatsuya was getting bored and just felt like going to sleep or something. He didn't care for Shin's family drama. "I'm still kind of tired from last night..." He let his head fall onto his desk and he closed his eyes until he heard the teacher call his name. "[i]Oh great. What now?[/i]" He then heard the other two who were called. "[i]Wait, what?[/i]" He lefted his head off the desk and sat up straight to listen to everything the teacher had to say. He stood right up. "With those two? Really? Minawe is as clumbsy as f*ck and she tends to f*ck everything up. Her demon is as lazy as hell too. There's got to be some people a little bit more reliable than them. I enjoy life."

[Hotaru987]

Minawe only smiled happily, "Alright Luna! I'll get you an apple as soon as possible." Before Lumi could yell about how Minawe one again said hr name wrong, some guy walked in. Well more accurately he kicked the classroom door open demanding to speak with Shin, who began uttering something about the guy being his cousin. The guy didn't seem to have a clue what Shin was going on about. Rei, on the other hand instantly became uspicious of this newcomer. His energy and scent screamed demon, but even so Rei's instincs said there was something very diferent about that guy. Either way he did not like this new guy.

[I]Idiot...I do not trust this new guy. So watch your back around him.[/I] Rei thought to Minawe.

[I]Oh please, he can't be all bad. Besides Yamada seems to know him.[/I] Minawe retaliated just before Prof. Uyagiri told her, Shin and Tatsuya to handle a demon possesson over by Fuyu District. Minawe grinned and stood up punching her fist in the air, "Leave it to us Prof. Onigiri. We'll handle it!" She exclaimed and bolted towards the door, however her clumsiness caught up to her. She tripped, stayed suspended in the air for two full seconds before sliding right across the classroom, pass Faust and through the door colliding with the hallway wall.

Rei sighed, "Idiot..."

[Meanwhile]

"What is taking him so long. It's boring without anyone to complain too." Mak complained after waiting only 3 minutes for Azayl to retrn. With a sigh she slowly began floating towards the direction he headed. She began to notice the feel of death increase as she kept going, and the thought of it only gave her an adrenalin boost. "Don't tell me he started having fun without me." Maka pouted sitting up on her scythe. She quickly found the demon prine kneeling by a tree with...Was he crying?

[I]Great...I get stuck with a whimp.[/I]

"So, where the hell is my fruit?"

[.:Blu:.]

((LOL, Minawe just called the Professor Prof. Riceball!))

"Would you stop complaining already Tatsuya... Actually I was going to have Tsukihana take care of things, but seeing as how he isn't here today, I only have the choice to call on you, and since you probably couldn't handle things alone, I had to call along Minawe and Rei to help you..." Uyagiri explained plainly. However, Uyagiri was only saying that to give Tatsuya some determination to prove him wrong. After all, knowing Tatsuya, he just wasn't going to stand there and be called weak. "Now hurry up and stop complaining, Minawe and Rei have already gone ahead of you... Also, yeah, yeah, I saw your summoning, you get an A, happy now?" Uyagiri said. "Umm, Prof. Uyagiri, will you excuse me too? I need to go find my cousin and take him home. He's new around town so I don't want him to get lost." Shin explained. "Yeah, whatever..." Uyagiri lazily answered.

Shin then ran out the door and headed towards the direction Faust was going in. "(Knowing him, he's probably gonna go find that demon. Oh crap, I forgot that I don't have an exorcist pistol anymore!)" Shin thought to himself when he tried to reach for his holster, finding no gun in it but instead a sleeping Redder. Waking up and giving a big yawn, Redder noticed that Shin was running hastily. "Hey Shin, where are we going?" Redder asked. "Finding my cousin!" Shin replied as he continued running. "I'll help ya, I can fly." Redder said as he flew out from Shin's holster. "So what does he look like?" Redder asked. "Well, he's about the same height as me with messy black hair and he's wearing the same uniform as me except he has an unbuttoned jacket." Shin explained. "Alright, I'll tell him that you're looking for him if I see him." Redder said before flying ahead.

"Now that I have a physical body, I can move much faster." Faust said as he is leaping across rooftops. "Too bad this body won't be able to take any hits so I gotta rely on Shin's body when I can. Now... where can you be?" Faust began homing on a strong demon scent. "Ahh, got ya..." Faust continued on to the Fuyu District of Norvea City. Within the district itself, a man with red eyes were chasing down people with a meat cleaver. "Hahaha, run you pathetic humans! Run!" the man shouted with a wild, murderous laugh. It was chaos within the Fuyu District, everybody knew that the man was possessed due to his distinguished red eyes and deep demonic voice behind the man's real voice. Seeing a little girl tripped, the possessed man ran after her with his meat cleaver. "Now you're mine- AHHH!" Faust appeared just in time and kicked the man straight in his chest, sending him flying back.

"T-Thank you mister." the little girl said, still a bit shaken up by the near death experience. "Yeah, whatever, just run..." Faust coldly replied without turning back to face the girl. After the girl had left, the possessed man stood up on his feet and glared at Faust with angry eyes for intruding on his slaughter. "Who the f*ck are you?!" the possessed man yelled fiercely. "Oh what, you don't recognize my face?" Faust asked. "Wait a minute, you're-" the possessed man was interrupted by the arrival of [INSERT CHARACTER NAME HERE]...

((The insert character name part is for the next person who posts I guess, it's just for you to interrupt before the possessed man can mention Faust's name))

-Meanwhile-

Hearing Maka's voice, Azayl stopped his crying and stumbled back. "M-Maka... Your fruit...? I-I'm sorry but it seems my senses were off, this place has no life at all..." the prince explained with a hesitant tone as if he was trying to hide something. Before Maka could answer however, a group of exorcists were passing by the area after sensing a powerful feeling of death coming from this part of the forest. These exorcists weren't your average exorcists, they were monks who in a sense are exorcists but their way of performing exorcisms are radically different and more spiritual in a way. They also exclusively wear eastern clothing along with each one of them carrying a sugegasa and a priest staff.

"These two... They're demons!" one monk said as he grabbed his staff and entered into a combat stance. The five other monks with him, with amazingly quick speed, encircled Azayl and Maka. "Demons, you must be purified and brought to judgement. You've tainted and killed this place of innocence with your darkness, we cannot allow you two to leave this ground." another monk said.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Uyagiri's plan had worked. Tatsuya was pissed at the thought. "You bastard. What do you mean I can't handle some weak demon that needs to posess some wimp by myself? I'll show you and get that extra credit!" He immediatly ran out the door. "[i]Heh. They may have gotten a head start but I wield the twin swords of the Takeda family. Strength isn't the only thing I have.[/i] He immediatly began to run faster than the rate of a normal human. "[i]I can't waste time running through the whole school.[/i]" As soon as he thought that he jumped through a window.

-A little bit of running later-

He arrived in the Fuyo district just in time to see Shin's cousin save the little girl. "Hey you demon scumbag." What he said seemed to take away the attention of the demon. he took out his two handles and held them as if they were normal katanas themself ."I'll slaughter you and prove that bastard teacher wrong!" Energy started being emitted from the handles. Then he remembered Shin's cousin was still there. "Hey. You might want to get out of here. Shin is looking for you. It'd be bad if he comes here and gets hurt because of you."

[Hotaru987]

Minawe remained on the ground as everyone ran past her not even bothering to see of she was ok. Well she coulnt blame tem, se fell so often mot people just over looked it by now. She groaned as she stood. "I have to hurry." She mumbled before taking off running after Tatsuya. Luckily she managed to say on her feet the entire time so Minawe made it to the Fuyu District. When she finally got there she noticed Shin's "cousin" was already there, along with Tatsuya and te guy she assumd was the one being possessed.

"Don't think I'm letting you take all the credit for this Teriyama." Minawe said taking out her twin chakrums. Rei appeared seconds later still looking as if he'd rather be anywhere else tha here, wth Lumi having moved onto his head after almost having been killed when he took a ridewith Minawe earier. Besides Rei was more interested with watching, but this time so he would watch the new guy. There was something different about him.

&Meanwhile&

Maka raised a thin eyebrow at Azayl's pathetic explination. Even if she wanted to reply, she couldn't due to some exorsist coming out of nowhere claiming that they would kill them. "Ah! Thank you for coming!!" Maka laughed, "I was just telling him earlier that it was getting boring." She grabbed her scythe from benieth her holding it with both hands. "But you guys should prove to be wonderful playmates." Her eyes opened up ever so slightly, as her smile grew in excitement. The eyeballs on her scythe spun rapidly, trying to follow the exorsist circling them.

Black smoke began spilling from the eyeballs until it engulfed the entire weapon, giving off the feeling of nothing but death. Maka shivered in excitement, "Let's go fools. My scythe is itching for it's next meal."

[.:Blu:.]

The possessed man turned his attention to Tatsuya who was using both of his blades, Tatsuya was determined to prove Uyagiri wrong after what he had said about Tatsuya, but of course Tatsuya didn't really mean what he said, it was just an incentive for Tatsuya to stop complaining and go do the mission he was assigned to do. In fact, Tatsuya was actually one of Uyagiri's favorite student even though Tatsuya could quite a massive pain in the ass sometimes. "You little sh*t... You think you could kill me while I'm possessing this human body? By the smell radiating off of you, you're only a C-Rank exorcist aren't you? Hah! It'll take you awhile to force me out of this body unless you want to kill an innocent man as well!" the demon sadistically said.

The demon was right, as an exorcist, Tatsuya's task was to protect human beings, and to cut an innocent man down while he was possess just to destroy a demon would be just the same as murdering the man in cold blood whether he was possessed or not. "Hey you, shut the fu*k up you annoying lowly demon..." Faust said as he appeared in front of the man and kicked him straight across his chest, sending him flying towards a pile of empty boxes. The streets of the Fuyu district made for quite the interesting battleground. Everything, even the houses, are made out of grey-colored stones and were built on platforms due to the fact that the street was descending instead of being a straight line. The cloudy atmosphere also made the mood perfect for fighting a demon.

Faust looked at Tatsuya then turned to look at the demon who was regaining his composure. "You mentioned Shin would get hurt if he was here? Heh, don't make me laugh... Like I care at all for that pathetic waste of a soul..." Faust said coldly. "Looks like your friend is here..." Faust said as Minawe arrived on the scene and began blabbering about Tatsuya and "taking all the credit". Faust didn't really care what the other two were talking about, he had other business to attend to.

Meanwhile, Redder finally arrived at the scene and saw the figure Shin described. "Huh? Hey, that must be Shin's cousin. Yo Shin, over here!" Redder called for Shin who was slowly, but steadily, making his way over. Finally arriving at Redder's position, Shin spent a few seconds catching his breathe. "J-Jeez... I don't know how you people can run like this..." Shin said, referencing how everybody else got here so fast before him. "Hey Shin look, it's your cousin, and he seems to be facing that possessed man in battle." Redder said, pointing to Shin and the possessed man who was finally standing up again. "Oh no, I gotta get Faust out of there." Shin said. "Wait what? What did you say your cousin's name was?" Redder asked, curious to as what he heard. "(Crap, I can't tell anyone Faust's identity!)" Shin thought to himself. "Uhh, I didn't say anything, hold on a minute." Shin replied to Redder.

"Huh? I could've sworn Shin said his cousin's name was Sauce..." Redder said to himself. Without facing the others, Faust began to talk. "Listen you two... Don't get in my way... I need to have a quick conversation with this piece of garbage before I hand him over to you people got it?" Faust said without waiting for any answer. However, Shin quickly ran up to Faust and grabbed him. "Uhh sorry you guys, my cousin's here is a little bit crazy so ignore him, go ahead and eliminate that demon." Shin said with a nervous smile before pulling Faust away into a dark alley. "H-Hey! Let me go you idiot." Faust said as he pushed Shin away after they walked into the dark alley. "What the hell?! I need to go talk to that demon!" Faust said. "You can't! If you reveal yourself to be a demon, then you're gonna get yourself killed!" Shin replied.

"Why do you care...?" Faust asked. "Because I promise to help you!" Faust answered quickly. Faust was a bit shocked at first but then responded to Shin. "Then what about your friends? You think those weaklings can handle him?" Faust asked. "Don't worry, I've known Tatsuya since the first day of school. He's tough, he's probably going to become the best exorcist that ever lived, though he needs to control his temper and listen more. And Minawe, she's really clumsy and sometimes rather clueless in battle, but she's got luck on her side, and Rei..." Shin replied, confident in his friends' abilities. "You humans... I don't understand you at all..." Shin said.

Back on the main street, the demon glared at Tatsuya and Minawe with annoyance. "Ugh... You damn humans disgust me... But since you're here, I may as well kill some time, and some exorcists..." the demon said, followed by an eerie chuckle. Suddenly, bright red energy can be visibly seen coming off of the possessed man's body. Soon, four sharp blades burst from the man's back as well as two sharp curving blades burst from the man's arm. The demon couldn't feel the pain from the blades extruding out of the man's body, but the soul of the man can and so bloody tears began rushing from the man's eyes. Tatsuya and Minawe had to perform an exorcism to force the demon out from the man's body, or his life may be at stake as well. "By the way... You can call me Rednocte... Hehe..." the demon said before licking the blood from his face.

[spoiler=How To Perform an Exorcism]To perform an exorcism, each exorcist was given a special wooden cross to use for an exorcism. First you must chant this passage: "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever." Then you must somehow get your wooden cross to touch the forehead of the possessed man. The phrase's effect will last for the entire battle once you have said it.[/spoiler]

-Meanwhile-

"Heathen, face judgement! Shinseina Shi: Ketsugō-Kan!" one of the monks chanted as he raised two fingers into the air. His fingers started to glow with a bright light, and then, appearing around Maka was four long slabs of light that seems to be able to interlock, creating a sort of box of containment. The slabs began to slam towards Maka, enclosing her within. "No matter what you try you shall never escape Kami's light!" the monk who created the box shouted. Two other monks began to attack Azayl head on with their staves. Azayl, not fighting back, simply attempted to doge their attacks. However his attempt at evading the attacks were useless as Azayl was knocked back into a dead tree by one of the monks. "Ugh!" Azayl yelled when he impacted with the tree.

"Shinseina Shi: Hikari Yari!" the monk standing in front of Azayl chanted as his staff was covered in light and became a spear. The monk continued on and impaled Azayl right through his throat. Azayl's eyes widened upon being impaled right through the center of his throat. Black demon blood began rushing down from the impaled area as well as from Azayl's mouth. Unable to talk or move, Azayl sat there. The monks closed their eyes, not wanting to have their vision tainted by looking at demon's blood.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Tatsuya didn't really care as long as he got the demon but he wasn't going to waste his limited time with all the talking. He turned off his energy swords but for more than one reason. He was going to need to perform the exorcist ritual. He put his Soul Slasher back into his jacket and in turn took out his wooden cross. "[i]This should be no problem in his current state. Thank you hours of studying. Who would have known it'd pay off for somebody?[/i]"

Then the possesed man started to talk. "Oh you're one to talk. I can smell your rancid soul from here." Now the blades randomly coming out of the man surprised Tatsuya. "[i]Well f*ck. That was pretty quick. How long has this demon been inside this guy?[/i]" He looked back at Minawe. "Hey dumbass. Since you're a dumbass I'm assuming you don't know the chant very well. I need you to distract him while I perform the exorcism. Don't die. Got it?"

[Hotaru987]

Minawe flushed in anger as she glared at Tatsuya - which she seemed to be doing a lot of. "I do know the chant. It's Oh father, who....Who...." She chuckled nervously scratching the back of her head, "I forgot." Minawe turned towards Rednocte and raised her weapons. Seeing as the incantation to perform the exorsism had temporaraly left her, her only use at the moment would be to distract Rednocte. She winced seeing the blades shoot out of the hot's body and knew that they would have to hurry up before the demon kills his host.

"Alright Rednose let's get this over with." She knew she wouldn't be able to do much becaue she couldn't risk damaging the host's body. There was no way over the fact that Minawe as seriously handicaped until Tatsuya managed to extract th demon from the body. With a deep breath Minawe ran in planning on giving Tatsuya as much time as possible, and jumped in the air throwing both weapons towards Rednocte. The weapons criss-crossed eachother before finally seperating to either side of Rednocte, both aiming for joints and tendons in the arm to incompacitate him.

On a more impressive note, Minawe actually managed to land on her feet.

#Meanwhile#

Maka frowned and looked around at her prison. It was cubed shaped. She tried slashing it but that did nothing more than irritate Maka. "Geeze, when did they come up with stuff like this?" It was not entertaining in the least. No, it wasn't anything but a great annoyance and not fun in the slightest. She raised her scythe and sliced again, but this time it cut a rift in the air. She floated through it and created another opening on the outside and behind the priest who created the box. "If that was god's light then your god is pathetic. But I suppose it is fitting. A pathetic god for patetc worshippors." Maka said raising her scythe and bringing it down over the center of the monk's head and straight down the middle.

[.:Blu:.]

Rednocte laughed wildly at the fact that Tatsuya and Minawe think they can defeat him. "You fools! Your attempts will be to no avail. I'll will slaughter the both of you!" Rednocte exclaimed. Hearing Minawe called him "Rednose", the demon found himself becoming more irritated by the second. "What the f*ck is the matter with you?! The name is Rednocte you idiot!" Rednocte shouted in response to Minawe mispronouncing his name. When Minawe began her attack by throwing her two chakrams at Rednocte, hoping to incapacitate the demon in some way for Tatsuya to perform the exorcist, Rednocte's speed turned into quite the problem as he quickly leaped straight into the air as Minawe's chakrams collided with each other. While in the air, Rednocte suddenly disappeared from his position and almost instantaneously appeared behind Tatsuya. "Since you're the one trying to force me out of this body, I'll kill you first!" Rednocte exclaimed as he brought his right arm blade towards Tatsuya's neck in the form of a horizontal slash.

-Meanwhile-

Killing the first monk by driving her scythe into his head, Maka now turned her attention onto the five other monks left. "T-That ruthless demon... You shall receive judgement! Shinseina Shi: Asa no Tsuru!" the monk chanted, raising his staff high up into the air. A small ball of light was then shot from the tip of the staff up into the atmosphere. Just mere seconds later, powerful lightning bolts began striking the area surrounding Maka, and gradually the lightning bolts came closer and closer to their target. The other monks, from their robes, took out long golden-colored rope. They toss the rope towards Maka in order to bind her for the lightning bolts to strike her.

Azayl, still impaled by the spear, started having a slight headache. Grabbing a hold of his forehead with his right hand, Azayl used his free hand to grab the spear impaled in through his throat. Without talking, Azayl took the spear from his throat and toss it on the ground where the spear began to rust and disintegrate at a rapid rate. The hole in Azayl's throat also began to rapidly heal. The other monks who were supposed to kill Azayl turned their attention to Maka, giving Azayl the opportunity to free himself. "I-I can't do this..." Azayl muttered to himself looking at the battle that was taking place. His eyes showed intense fear as he gazed at the monk whose head was split opened by Maka's scythe.

[Hotaru987]

Minawe gasped, "No! Rei stop Rednose!" Rei looked towards Rednocte and sighed. Even if it was troublesome, he figured it would be more so if h had to drag ome kids body all the way back to the school. Rei dashed forward just in time to grab Rednocte's blade stopping him from killing Tatsuya, and ignoring the blod running down his arm. Unlike Minawe, he didn't hold back simply because of the host's body, and instead his whole body began discharging strong currents of lightening, intending to fry him on the spot.

[I]Rei you can't kill him! We can't damage the body any more than it already has.[/I] Rei scoffed and instead kicked Rednocte back and away from him. Minawe gave a relieved sigh. "Ok, Rei partial sync." She needed to be able to keep up with his speed a least a bit, so a partial sync - which Minawe believes sound so much btter than possession - would be necessary. Rei's form began to fade until he was completely trasparent, and in his spiritual form. The only physica change in Minawe was her eye color which was now red like Rei's. The other thing was her left hand now had a cut, the same place as Rei whe he blocked Rednocte's attack. This time Minawe ran straight in bringing both chakrums in a diagonal 'X' fashion.

(Meanwhile)

Maka dropped her scythe the second she was bound by the golden ropes. The lightening drew closer and as much as she hated to admit it her scythe wouldn't be able to cut these golden rope. It'll probably be just as useful as it was on that slab of stone earlier. Even so she threw her head bac laughing hysterically even as the lightening finally reached her. This was all but too much fun, but even fun had to end eventually. Beside Maka her scythe rose into the air, it's eyes swivelling rapidly then comin to a stop on the five remaning monks. Almost as if it had a invisible weilDer the scythe swung itself creating another rip in the space.

Maka smirked at the monks ignoing the pain of their attack. "You all proved to be quite the entertainment. Sadly you all were nothing but a side meal to the soon to come main course. So you all must die now." Her soul began to increase encasing her entire body in a red glow, the eyes on her scythe doing the same. Suddenly, out from the rip the scythe created a wave of skeleton warriors crawled all carrying the weapons and clothes they died in. It was clear to tel most were exorsist due to their clothes.

"Feast to your hearts content." Were the magic words before the skeletons lunged towards the monks inteding to tear their flesh from their bones.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Tatsuya held the cross tight as Minawe started to attack Rednocte. " "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done," Suddenly though Rednocte popped up behind him. "[i]Lousy demons always going for the back.They don't think I'd have anything to counter that?[/i]" Before he could finish though Minawe's demon Rei blocked Rednocte and shocked him as well. "[i]Oh well. Saves me a jacket.[/i] on earth as it is in heaven. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever!"

The wooden cross began to glow with a bright red aura. Tatsuya quickly spun around to face the demon. "You two need to stun him again. He's extremely fast and with all those blades even a surprise back attack would be dangerous. I'll only need a second!"

[.:Blu:.]

Seeing his attack stopped in its tracks by a demon caused Rednocte to be rather annoyed. His eyes narrowed and his teeth were grinding against each other from seeing such an unbearable sight. Being kicked back by Rei, Rednocte easily regained his footing as he used his left hand to push himself off the ground into a flip and finally landing in a kneeling position. Holding his head up and glaring at Rei, Rednocte spit out some blood to the side. "This sight irritates me greatly... A demon working with an exorcist? Oh how low have you fallen..." Rednocte said as he stood up. "Very well, even if we are of the same kind, I'm not going to show any mercy to a traitor." Rednocte warned as his blades extended even further. Licking his mouth, Rednocte formed a murderous grin on his face. "Hehehe... NOW IT'S TIME TO REALLY HAVE SOME FUN!!!" Rednocte exclaimed as his red soul energy burst outwards in a flame-like fashion.

However, what happened next caught Rednocte in a bit of a surprise. Minawe and Rei performed a partial possession, or as Minawe puts it, a "partial sync". "Ohhh, so you made a contract with this human... How disgusting..." Rednocte replied to seeing the partial possession. Without answer, Minawe charged at Rednocte, her chakrams in a "x" fashion. For a second, Rednocte's eyes glared towards Tatsuya as he heard the exorcist chant being completed. "Arrg... I'll take care of you in a moment..." Rednocte whispered before turning his attention onto Minawe again. "GAH!!! DIE!!!" Rednocte's right arm blade began extending at an incredible length. Rednocte continued on to swing his extremely long blade at Minawe, making contact with her chakrams and tossing her towards a nearby house. The blade continued to travel towards Tatsuya, cutting a house in half while it continued on its path towards Tatsuya.

On his right arm, Rednocte grew more blade and began to fire some towards Minawe, hoping to impale her. Rednocte's eyes were travelling back and forth, switching the target from Minawe to Tatsuya in a matter of milliseconds.

-Meanwhile-

Seeing Maka laughing hysterically even though the monks' attacks were dead on just made the monks even more nervous. "Just what kind of demon is this?" one of the monks asked, a sweat drop travelling down from his face. Suddenly, when the scythe began to move on its own, the monks all stumbled back in fear as to what was happening. "What's going on?" a monk asked as the scythe ripped opened up another rift. Surfacing from the rift were the skeletal remains of exorcists, all of which were carrying weapons. There were even a few monks within the large skeletal forces coming out of the rift. "You monster, who can you do such a thing?!" the monks questioned.

However, this was no time to be asking questions as the skeletal exorcists began their assault on the monks. Using a spell, one monk created a large barrier to keep the skeletons from getting near them, however, one monk was accidentally left outside, and it was a rather young monk too. He looked as if he was only around sixteen or seventeen years of age. The monk had fell on the ground and was no in serious danger. He reached out towards the monks held within the barrier, intense fear can be seen in his eyes. "P-Please, help me!" the monk exclaimed, but there was nothing the other monks could do about it.

As the skeletons finally reached that one monk, they began grabbing the young monk and ripping the skin off of his face. They also pull and tear on other body parts, slowly and horrifically dismembering the young monk. Seeing the terrifying scene struck away at Azayl's soul like a burning knife being stabbed through someone's heart without them dying. Finally having enough, Azayl's normal flat hair began curving and becoming spiked back. His eyes became layered into multiple rings and his pupil became smaller in size. "ENOUGH!!!!" Azayl shouted, a demonic voice appearing behind his normal voice. Suddenly, the area's plant life began to wilt and die. The ropes entangling Maka also instantly disintegrated. As with the monks, all of them instantly turned into bones and the barrier protecting them shattered. The monk that was being torn apart shared the same fate, and the skeletons that Maka summoned became motionless and fell to the ground. In just mere seconds the entire area and almost everything within it became lifeless...

Suddenly, Azayl's hair fell flat again and his eyes returned to normal. Azayl fell onto his knees and breathed heavily. Beads of sweat fall to the ground from Azayl's face. "I-It happened again..." Azayl whispered to himself.
