Halloween Havoc Match

[Blerhwave]

Nosdrah falls backwards with a grin, taking the hit from his paternal figure. His chest bursts open to let a myriad swarm of creepy crawlies to take their position on the battlefield. Spiders as big as 20 meters web some buildings, roaches make homes, maggots eat away at concrete. The Vampire Overlord plants the decorations for merely their complimenting properties to the grave'ish arena. Nosdrah rises back up and gets to his feet, acting like a marionet with strings unseen. The cobblestone streets fracture outwards as jack-o-lanterns with faces of the tortured, and the torturers, carved.

"I have something for you, Father." Nosdrah picks up a pumpkin sprouted by his left ankle.

"Happy Halloween!" Nosdrah throws the pumpkin, exploding against the chest's armor. The rancid smell belongs to the rotting fumes and bile making up the Halloween-themed item, crackling as the materials corrode the armor. They eat through layers of the ethereal steel, adding a burning sensation to the body underneath. Now, Nosdrah turns and glides away, his body and wings trailing like an aerosol. His next attack gathers ecotplasmic energy, launching from the Gentleman, nine in total. The Fatal Ray engagement explodes against Mara's body, chilling her from the famous cold sensation of ecto-energy. The explosion trims her fur around her body and throws her against the ground, leading her to skid towards a particular pumpkin patch in the battlefield. Mara staggers to her feet, shivering from the effects of Fatal Ray. Nosdrah smiles, his teeth gleaming in moonlight. He breaks his smile to belch a round of his "Graveyard Breath." The yellow and green mixture engulfs three-quarters of Mara and continues pouring into the adjacent blocks. After seconds of saturation, Nosdrah jams his mouth up, stopping the torture. Mara's front legs are coated with slime, corroded fur actually dripping down to lower parts of her legs, some even falling off. The rest has been corroded, and her flesh looks like Freddy Krueger's face. Her body has undergone the same treatment, missing fur and burned, but with slime tangled in the intact fur. Between the cold from Fatal Ray, the caustic burn from Graveyard Breath, she's shivering in pain but with an angry scowl under her mask. Nosdrah, being the gentleman that he is, decides to warm the kitsune up and burn away her pain- to inflict new pain. From his wings, twisted lupin images grow outwards and barking cryptic flames towards Mara, to burn her physical and spiritual.

[GI Jho]

Mara was soon engulfed in the horrific flames, the hellish pyre scorching her physical form... but also damaged her essence as well. Mara howled in pain, but soon managed to escape her fiery misery. Armageddon, meanwhile, had begun focusing on Darklore. The dark god's empty gaze locked with the 6 golden eyes of the Great Devourer. The two creatures circled each other, each preparign to strike. Darklore gripped his mace tightly in his phamtasmic fists, as Armageddon flexed his eldritch talons, waitign for Darklore to make the first move.

And the god did.

With brutal efficiency, Darklore shot forth a massive orb of darkness from the gaping maw fused to his off hand. But the attack never reached its intedned target. Before the deadly sphere could make contact with the hulking abomination, Armageddon swished his claws through the air, opening a rift that sucked the orb into oblivion, and pulled Darklore closer to the titan. Darklore struggled to stay up, his feet creating trenches in the ground as he struggled to stay away from the titan. The rift soon closed, and suddenly, the hulknig form of Armageddon lashed out. Sharp claws raked towards Darklore, aiming to clave into the god's hide. The demonic god acted surprisingly quickly, using his jaws of death to grab Armageddon's forearm in it before smashing his mace across The hulk's face, sharp spikes drawing blood upon impact and batting the horror's head aside.

Armageddon could feel the flesh on his forearm dissolving away, which angered and startled the titan. With his free hand, The titan lashed out, grappling Darklore around the neck before the god could lash out with his mace once more. Before Darklore could defend himself or make himself intangible, the abomination hoisted Darklroe off of the groudn with minimal trouble using his incredible physical strength, before he stuck out his knee, and brutally slammed Darklore's face onto his demon-crafted leg armor. The sheer force of the impact created a massive crack in Darklore's skull, and the god's jaw hand fell limp, allowing Armageddon to move his limb freely once more.

Flinging the limp form of the stunned god aside, Armageddon set his sights on Sauros, who was rapidly approaching him, Vesuvius glowing with eldritch power. The saurian-esque god swung his mace sideways, sending out a wave of dark magic towards the massive beast of the apocalypse. Smirking, Armageddon suddenly disappeared into a rift, causing the wave of energy to miss completely, before the hulking form of the beast suddenly appeared over Sauros' head. Expecting such a manuever, Sauros sidestepped the blow, causing Armageddon's bodyslam to miss completely. The god struck out with his deadly melee weapon, aimnig to crush the titan's elbow with his blow, but the abomination hopped backwards, avoiding the blow. Armageddon surprised Sauros with his next move, however. The massive beast blasted Sauros near-point blank range with his eyes beams, the devastaing orange-yellow beams sending Sauros flying backwards from their power, causing a buildign to collapse on top of him.

Armageddon stomepd towards the pile of rubble that covered Sauros, preparign to deliver more punishment to him, but the titan was suddenly tackled by Mara, the lupin hell hound aiming to bite into the monstrosity's hide. But Armageddon was quicker, and, as Mara's jaws came in to bite his eldritch flesh, Armageddon grappled Mara's neck with his massive hand, threatening to strangle Persephone's trusty hound. Angry at this transgression, Armageddon began to repeatedly slam the hell hound into the ground, blood soon staining the kitsune's beautiful white hide, and creating am assive crater in the process. As Armageddon finished pummelling Mara, her face severely cut and bloodied from the violent walloping, Armageddon did one final slam into the earth, the titan putting all his tonnage behind the blow. The power of the impact created a massive ripple of earth, leaving Mara dazed from the blow.

Armageddon flung Mara over his shoulder, causign her to crash headfirst into the ground, before the titan locked his eyes on Nosdrah. The two former allies each knew that they needed to fight... even if they had been 'friends' outside of this conflict. Snarling, Armageddon's maw fileld with purplish energy, before the horror's trademark beam- oblivion's wrath- rippled forth form his maw towards the vampire....

[Tenshi the Sunkern]

The vampire lord was quick to avoid the attack by rapidly sinking into the shadows. The beam tore across the sky, and off into the distance. Arma snarled as he looked around for the vampire lord, but before he could move, a tap on his back signaled to him where his foe was. The beat of apoalypse whirled around...

And instead of seeing Nosdrah, was greeted with a thunderbolt to the side!

The eldricht monster howled in pain as his blood dripped onto the floor. His entire side has been split open from the base of the top of one arm down to the top of the hind leg on his right side. Behind the monster, Mara materlialized from her electric form, the fox glaring and snarling in rage and anger at her foes. She was Persephone's cherished bodyguard, the second-highest ranking devil in the Underworld, and the privilaged familiar of the Ruler of Hell, and yet, here she was, fur burnt, hide scarred, gash-ridden, and mask fractured. She had taken a horrible beating... and the fight had only started a little while ago! This was no way to treat the greatest Kitsune to ever live!

As she starred down Arma, who was howling back at her and preparing to charge, she could see Nosdrah rising up behind Arma, ready to ambush him. Perfect... Mouth opening wide, the Kitsune planted her claws into the ground, and fired off a Zap Cannon from her maw. The beam tore through the sky, and grazed past Armageddon, slicing into his other shoulder, haulting his charge short as he collapsed onto his side... but that wasn't the worst it did. Realizing too late his mistake, Nosdrah was hit direct on by the beam of electricity, which sent him flying head over heels into the street. As the vampire tried to rise up from the hit, he realized that he couldn't move. He was paralyzed! Mara's eyes gleamed as she saw the results. Perfect. That was for ruining her perfect white fu-

YELP!

Pain tore across the Kitsune's side as Sauros's mace nailed her there, tearing through her flesh and sending her sprawling. On her side, the fox tried to rise up, but before she could, the clawed foot of the tyrant stepped down onto her face. Glaring down at her, the overlord of evil raised his spiked mace upward, preparing to bring down Vesuvious upon her side once more... until Mara's body began to flash and crackle...

The air was discharged with an electric pulse just in time. Sauros howled out as he was sent flying onto his back, the Dark Lord crashing into a building. Struggling back up, Mara looked around, before her eyes laid upon the figure of Darklore recovering from Armageddon's attack. Seizing her chance, the injured fox began to charge up energy into her tails, 9 orbs of electricity fusing into one as she fired it toward the demon responsible for Thresher's fate...

[The Great MM]

The crackling bolt of raw voltage slammed into the dark lord’s cranium like a missile! The juggernaut of destruction fell to a knee, energy surging through his black flesh and skeletal armor. His eyes flashed blood red behind his helmet as he took a new stance, sparks still dropping from his bone clad body. The demon snarled softly as his voices spoke like demonic whisperings. “That tickled us.”

As the living shadow stood tall and proud, souls of all sorts of shapes and sizes leaped from his body! They plunged into the ruined, gothic streets and sprung up like wildfire! Limps and bodies combined to form a field of nightmares. Tentacles and spear-like limbs struck Mara from all sides in all but the blink of an eye. Clawed hands and fanged jaws latched onto his limbs and belly, drawing out blood from the majestic wolf. She fought back, firing electricity into the field and blowing apart numerous attackers… but more came…

Tentacles wrapped around her mid-section, holding her down. To make matters worse, a few other demons were also constricted by the field of souls. Nosdrah was trapped, disembodied limps clawing and holding his legs as he tried to fly away. Even the colossal Armageddon was being annoyed by the field that filled the streets!

But Mara was suffering the most…

As the demons struggled, Darklore lifted his mighty mace skyward. A surge of darkness and a jagged bolt of shadowy bliss catapulted into the churning clouds, making the heavens cry. The sky fell as the lights of the area were erased from existence. A thunderous roar came from the air as the winds kicked up…

And then it dropped all at once…

A swirling twister from the core of Hell itself! It smashed Mara and tore through the field of souls, uprooting the enslaved souls in intense gusts of wind. The fox’s howls were deafened in the heart of the twister, but then came the pain. The darkness tore through every inch of her body like debris, slicing her fur and tails with torturous precision. Other dark titans were swallowed up by the tornado…

Nosdrah and Sauros vanished like insects in the mouth of a great predator. Armageddon hunkered down, hugging the ground as if it were his mate. The super-heavyweight demon growled in frustration as one limb was pulled upward… and then another. His hind being pulled into the tornado, even Armageddon’s great strength was outclassed as he was sucked into the demonic vortex…

Body striking Sauros in mid-air with a horrible bang! The four demons were helpless, stuck in the twister as the demonic power of Darklore raped their bodies in every possible way. The field of souls that had also been sucked up began to stab into their bodies and the rubble from the city itself acted like cannon shots, exploding on contact with all four of the captured victims…

As the twister began to dwindle, Armageddon was catapulted from the heart of it! Every inch of his body now soaked in his own blood. The juggernaut crashed through a skyscraper-sized castle-like tower before hitting the ground like a meteor, rolling on impact and leaving a gory skid mark in his wake. Then Nosdrah followed, his wings shredded and body nearly unrecognizable. The vampire belly flopped the Earth, limbs and shredded wings spread outward. The electric fox was next to fly forth, body and shoulders struck the mid-section of a rocky structure and remaining impaled in the gothic building as bloody waterfalls fell from the damage and blood-soaked mammal demon. Then Sauros hit, shooting out wildly with his body damaged and armor shredded in numerous parts. He landed directly on top of Nosdrah, making the vampire squeal in pain.

Standing a distance away and surveying the carnage, Darklore’s eyes dulled out. His rage had been settled. The cityscape was all but destroyed, leveled by the darkness tornado…

[Crystaldemon93]

Ahem, Nosdrah feels no pain, and he certainly would not 'squeak' in any occasion.
-----------------------------------

Something interrupted Darklore's grand moment, making the giant turn towards the source of the disturbance. It was a particular noise. It was no sound of pain, or grief. It was laughter. Low, resonating, thunderous, coming from the maw of Sauros. Though blood flowed from his jaws, and his voice occasionally trembled by the pain, he looked like a child who had just been told a joke.From below the armored tyrant, shadows moved away, as the body of Nosdrah broke into numerous black strands that slithered along the ground, away from Sauros. They too brought awaythe sound of laughter, even if that was a completely mad laugh.

Sauros, a bit shakily, rose, eyes glowing and teeth bared in amusement. "To use your most powerful move so soon" he began, pretending to contemplate the thing "While impressive, that shows fear. You, are afraid" He rose to his full height, fists bared and Vesuvius in a strong grip. "I shall see to it that you will be even more"

With that, his hands glowed with a purplish aura as he lifted his left hand up a bit. A circle of purple-blackish mist appeared around him, swirling around his for like a barrier. Some of said mist also began to slowly and omniously move towards Darklore.

"Your power is built up of souls, is it not, Darklore?" Sauros rethorically asked "and what do demons feed on?" he asked, a rather scary smirk visible below his plating.

Darklore's eyes whidened in realization. Sauros thrust his hand forward. From the supernatural mist erupted dozens of twisted, demonic forms, of every shape and size, but all built by shadow-y energy and all with gaping, fiery maws. They all came at Darklore roaring and screaming in sadistic delight, and their infernal jaws closed on his form. Though they passed straight through him, each of them ripped from the dark giant one or more of the souls he collected, or at least wounded some. While the Dark Lord emit no sound himself, the lives he took screamed in terror and pain. Having feasted enough, the demons vanished.

The whole attack did not last more than 5 seconds, yet the sheer magnitude and pain of its effects brought the dark titan to one knee, his form trembling.

Sauros observed satisfied his prey, drinking the essence of pain and evil like a precious nectar. In that moment, a blow of frightening strenght met his head from behind, making him strumble forwards in surprise. Trying to regain balance, another blow struck him, sending him on the ground on his back. Fighting and overwhelming the dizzyness and pain, the Dark Lord spotted Armageddon over him, maw open and ready to tear his neck apart.

Armageddon dove down, intent on feeding more, when, suddenly, he was stopped. Sauros had grabbed his neck first and released his Ethereal Emanate spell at point-blank range. Sauros rose on his feet, keeping Armageddon in a tight grasp.

"Watch" he said, forcing Armageddon's head towards the other three contestants. Darklore had just finished recovering, and Mara was wrestling with Nosdrah in a clash of shadows and lightning. Sauros snapped his fingers. In a literal flash, columns of fire erupted below each fighter, forcing them apart while burning them down to their twisted souls (if they had any, that is). The fires were swirling all around the area, and while the monsters did not notice it, they were being pulled all together in a single place, few hundreds of meters right in Sauros's aim centre. The Dark Lord turned to Armageddon, a smirk visible under his armor. He charged the other up with magical energy, before whispering "Go play with them"

Armageddon was again thrown with supernatural force towards Darklore, Mara and Nosdrah, who were still tortured by flames. When Armageddon met them, the force of the impact and the fires triggered the magic charge he was given.

BOOOOM!

In a huge explosion of flames, the demons were thrown away from their place, the sheer force of the attack tearing their bodies open and crumbling their bones. They were now lying in a confused mess of bodies and blood, each of them not sure which limbs belonged to them and which didn't. Bloody and shaken, they still noticed the green sphere of energy forming in Sauros's maw, they heard its screaming evil intent, and they felt the wave of its power when the beam was released. Darkest Fear traveled at frightening speed towards them, the screaming energy forming a demonic face on the end of the beam that was closing in....

Your turn, Danzilla.

[GI Jho]

Alas, the blow managed to strike all who were caught in it. The powerful fear based attack struck god, beast, demon, and abomination alike, eating away at their midns and shakign their very being. But, despite this, the evil creatures did their best to overcome the power of their fear, and soon returned to fighting the other evils around them. But Armageddon was not going to have any of that. Wtih a fist soon gathering the powers of the abyss, The ravenous horror from beyond space and time soon slammed his hand into the earth. Earth rended and the air distorted as a massive ripple of eldritch energy soon tore across the entirety of the arena. None were spared from the attack's wrath; buildings were knocked odnw, streets were ruined, and the various evils were sent flying.

A crater roughly 4 miles wide was left in the wake of the massive explosion, leaving the scattered bodies of each of the villains. Nosdrah had been sent flying headfirst into a building, and had the entire structure collapse on top of him. Mara nearly had her fur singed off from the sheer power of the magic, and was buried in the ground. Darklore had been sent flying into Sauros, the impact which broke Darklore's shoudlerpeice and indented Sauros' chest plate. But, the apocalyptic beast was not done with his opponents yet. Armageddon's chest began to glow a deep purple, as eldritch energies began to swirl about him. His form began to become transluscent, almost ghost-like, in appearence, and his eyes became brighter. With a smirk, Armageddon soon chortled aloud, and shouted:

"You believe yourselves devils? Gods? VILLAINS?! Yuo think you understand... TRUE power?! I will teach you how wrong you trully are.... behold, the power of DESTRUCTION!"

Armageddon's form suddenly faded, his bright gold eyes being the last thing to disappear, before suddenly, an absolutely MASSIVE rift rippled open in the skies. The very arena began to be sucked into the massive rift; buildings seemed like flies beign sucked into a fan before the massive rift, the towerign structures disappearing into the rift's gaping maw. The monsters all tried to escape, running, flying, becomnig incorpeal, but the power of the void knew no bounds. All the villainous kaij uwere sucked into the massive vortex, disappearing into its black abyss, before suddenly... darkness. Nothing remaiend on the field, only ugly, dirty land. But then suddenly....

BOOOOOOM!

A violent epxlosion rocked the entire arena, sendign what was left of the buildings flying outwards, and soon, the other kaiju followed. All were severely burned from their exposure to the abyssal realm; Sauros' armor was ripped clean off of his body from his left arm to his lower left thigh. Darklore was left lying limp on the ground, barely moving as the god attempted to recover. Mara's fure was completely ruined, reduced to blackened gunk stained and fused to Mara's hide, dull sparks dancing across a once pristine hide. Nosdrah appeared to have disappeared, but he was actually safe, away form the battle in the hub. Soon, Armageddon reappeared in the arena, chuckling cruelly at his foe's predicament.

"So now that you... UNDERSTAND how pathetic you trully are..." Armageddon hissed. "I will tear you all to shreds!"

Armageddon slammed his fist once mroe into the ground, creatign another eruption of magic, sendign the already woudned kaiju flying ocne more, before he suddenly opened a rift, appearing over Darklore's head, as he came down to bodyslam his foe....

[Tenshi the Sunkern]

Armageddon never made contact with Darklore. Several electrical spheres slammed into both Armageddon and Darklore, crackling across their body and sizzling them as they were sent spiraling down to the ground in a twin set of loud THUDS. For a moment, there was stillness, and then Armageddon rose up, furious and enraged. Who had dared attack him while he was attacking? The eyes of the apocalypse whirled, and there he saw her, Mara, the fox struggling to get back up. The fox was a horrifying sight to see, her entire body mangled and distorted from all the pain and attacks she had endured. Bellowing out in anger, Arma charged, and slammed into her, sending her sprawling head over heels. "Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic" Armageddon hissed...

"Shut up... Shut up!" The fox growled as she staggerd back up, electricity starting to crackle around her once magnificent fur. Suddenly, the very ground began to quake and rumble allaround Armageddon. But this was not his doing. The quaking intensified, to the point where he could only prevent himself from toppling over. Lifewise, Sauros and Darklore were also finding it hard to get up with this rabid quaking, but for Mara, who had her claws rooted into the earth deep, was perfectly planted to deal with it. "You call me pathetic, when I am the highest in command and the royal guard for my queen? You know nothing, freak!" She spat out in hate. Now to Armageddon's surprise and horror, the remains of thsoe buildings he had destroyed, as well as large sections of the ground began to crack apart and rise up into the earth. Even the section of ground he was on was now hovering hundreds of meters up. "You know nothing about patheticness, whelp... BECAUSE YOU ARE PATHETIC YOURSELF!" She howled as she struggled up onto her hind legs. "ALL OF YOU ARE UNFIT TO EVEN GAZE EYES UPON THE QUEEN OF HELL! THUS HAS JUDGED HER ROYAL GUARD AND FAMILIAR!"

With this howl, everything came crashing down. Entire giant spheres of twisted metal and rock smashed into the other three demons, burying them underneath the rubble created by Armageddon's attack. The aftermath was spectacular. All three were battered and bruised, and buried alive. Mara could see Armageddon's hand twitching under one giant mound, and so was Darklore's hand from another. But all had massive shards of metal and rock embedded into them, and any armor that was on them was no doubt torn and ruined... And then, as Mara lowered herself back down, she saw Sauros rise up from the rubble. The tyrant was enraged and crying for her blood... but she wouldn't let him.

Planting her claws in the ground once more, her mouth wided, and from it shot a Zap Cannon.. but this was one with a twist. Sauros was struck in the chest, and carried off his feet and onto the back, but no, she didn't end it here. Turning her head as smoothly as she could, she kept the beam up, sparks flying and plumes of earth firing out from the ground as she steadily aimed the beam... for Darklore's position. He had made her suffer such horrible pain... he wouldn't escape with his life after making such a mockery of her!

[The Great MM]

The beam of electrical death catapulted at Hell’s General. The brilliance of the beam of electricity was bright enough to illuminate the entire battleground, but instead of striking Darklore, the beam passed through him! The dark lord had become hollow as if a ghost, allowing the beam to smash into the ruins of a Gothic chapel, annihilating it in a beautiful display of dancing lightning and fountains of sparks. As a gust of wind blew across the chaotic landscape, Darklore’s entire body began to drift away, like smoke carried through a hurricane. However, the darkness blew against the weather.

The dark movement caught Armageddon off guard. The most physical of the beasts swung out at the translucent black glow, but his might claws simply waved through it. Then, a strange feeling gripped his colossal body, as if every organ and bone in his body was being squeezed! He struggled, trying to fight back the darkness. His eyes glossed over, the once glowing yellow orbs of death suffocated by the Death God’s embrace of cold blackness. Wisps of dark power drifted from his shaggy body like a dog that had been running around in the dirt for far too tong.

When Armageddon leaned back on his hind legs and threw his arms to the side, it was actually Darklore in control of the juggernaut!

Armageddon crashed back to the Earth, his sheer weight making the entire landscape shutter. The behemoth began to charge like an oversized bear, crashing into the side of Mara like a freight rain hitting a sport scar! The fox yelped as her body recoiled and nearly wrapped around the lycan nightmare’s frame before being sent flying away, skidding to a stop with her ribcage put to the limit from the t-boning blow. Turning around, the grizzly of a kaiju spotted Sauros.

From within Armageddon, Darklore’s souls chuckled. “Even the mighty Armageddon… a puppet under his power.”

The words caused the maniacal saurian to turn around, clawed talons gripping his mace tightly. Like he did before, Armageddon charged forward, horned head thrashing from side to side. The huge demon collided with the dark one with a collision rarely seen in the UCA. The ground around the pair erupted like a boulder being dropped into a lake. The muscular giant overpowered Sauros while under the command of Darklore. The paws of the Goliath crushed Sauros’ shoulders and began to force him down further, attempting to break the devil’s armored back!

The armored clad dinosaur snarled and struggled, jaws snapping mere inch’s away from his ally’s face. With no other choice, the dark god deployed his necro beam! The assault of unholy energy washed across Armageddon’s face, causing the demon to back away. He brought up his claws to his face, but the flesh he touched refused to stay attached. It melted away like ancient candle wax and dried up fruit. As Armageddon struggled, blinded and tasting his own decomposed muzzle, Darklore’s figure drifted out of the powerful thing in the form of a ghost.

The demon’s armor and small portions of his hide sizzled with the same affects of the beam, but he didn’t suffer anywhere near as close as Armageddon who’s face would be horribly scarred without the aid of UCA’s regeneration.

Drifts of darkness emerged from Darklore’s mask as he breathed in the smoky, dusty air. He lifted his mace, crackles of despair and unholy power radiating within it. Then, like an expanding balloon, the darkness began to grow! A bubble of pure night, nullifying any and all forms of light, began to engulf the area around Darklore… and keeping going… threatening to submerge all the twisted fighters in a dome of complete darkness where only Darklore could see…

(OOC: Double checked with IR to make sure this post was okay.)

[Crystaldemon93]

The increasing mass of pure blackness suddenly stopped it's menacing advance. For a moment it stood still, then it began to move in swirling tendrils towards Sauros, whose mouth had opened and was now sucking in the shadows like they were a feast. The darkness was drained in a matter of seconds, and as the deathly jaws closed, swirling black clouds appeared at Sauros's feet.

The darkness giving him new strenght and speed, the Dark Lord charged. Clenching Vesuvius, he rammed into Darklore swinging his weapon. Once again, the Chaos Mace blocked it, yet that was expected, and the club-like tail of the hellish dinosaur came down to slam on his opponent's reinforced skull. The impact dented the mighty helm just slightly, yet it did stun the shadowy beast enough for Sauros to push him aside and move to the next target: Mara.

The Kitsune answered Sauros's charge with a dash of her own, talons outstretched and lightning dancing on her fur. Charged up and ready to maim, Persephone's guard leaped at her prey. However, her chest met with Vesuvius in a horizontal hit as Sauros used his Destroyer move. In an instant, powerful dark energy was transferred to her body, and Mara was pushed backwards with more than a few sickening cracks coming from her chest. However, the impact did channel some of her high voltage into Sauros, momentarily paralyzing him and making him grunt in pain.

Armageddon choose that moment to strike. His fist collided with Sauros's skull, sending him backwards. Another fist was delivered to the Tyrant's gut, then came a mighty uppercut that literally sent Sauros flying backwards. The mighty armored body collided with one of the few remaining buildings, making it completely collapse. When Sauros rose once more, all his opponents were standing and ready to battle again. Perfect.

The shadows still swirling around his feet, Sauros spat a small sphere of flame, that stopped right in front of his maw. The sphere then began to grow, being fed more and more fire until it became a circular inferno. Then, the shadows leaped from the ground, adding mass to the sphere and mixing with the fire. The sphere reached a size that doubled that of Armageddon, and it seemed to roar with a voice of its own. Demonic faces emerged in the black and red cursed weapon as Sauros touched it with just a finger. It launched, and took in all the target monsters.

It was just like hell. The cold, bone-chilling and poisonous touch of darkness combined with the vicious ravaging of fire. The monsters experienced agonies they never even dreamed possible, before the abyssal torture ceased. Watching his opponents lay on the ground and trying to rise, Sauron snapped his clawed fingers. Fireballs appeared around him, and launched themselves at the other contestants, two each....

[GI Jho]

The fireballs all struck their gargets, immense eruptions rattlnig their forms, sending Darklore and Mara skidding across the charred earth, and stumbling the mighty Armageddon off his feet once more. A groan of frustration erupted from his mouth, the massive brute rising to his legs, shaking hsi body to remove the layers of dirt on his body, and to dispel the fire that had appeared on his body (though it did little to him overall). With a rattling growl, Armageddon soon turned to the rising form of Darklore. Though he had not been the one who directly attacked Armageddon, he had taken him over... and he couldn't stand for that.

No one controls Armageddon and lives to tell the tale!

Armageddon slashed his claws in the air, stepping into a rift that he soon ripped open. Suddenly, the hulking terror reappeared close to Darklore, and the two immediately began to circle each other. The hulking form of Armageddon towered over Darklore, but the demonic creature stood his ground, the numerous spirits encased within him chortled and hissed constantly. Soon, the dark god spoke out against his opponent.

"Why do you fight him?" The spirits within Darklore hissed. "He is nothing, yet everything. He is the savior, the salvation. He will give you new life, he will give you utopia. He will give you the vegeance you seek."

Armageddon snarled, flashign his menacing fangs at his opponent. Drool dripepd from his maw and splashed onto the ground with an audible sizzle. He had no wish to start a conversation with this fool, but, seeing it asked him a question, Armageddon felt obligated to answer it.

"You are nothing before me," Armageddon hissed angrily. "A creature of darkness is but a slave to it. God or not, I have slain an entire PANTHEON! I need not your 'utopia'. Spare me your lies and deceit. Let us settle this... and let me teach you why you fail."

"We want to see you try," Darklore's spirits cried as the dark god aimed his massive maw of destruction towards Armageddon, but, with shocking speed, Armageddon shot to the side. his shadowy mane flowing behind his armor and his eyes glowing ominously. Darklore could only watch as Armageddon delivered a vicious sucker punch across his face, shattering the entire right side of Darklore's helm, sending shards of bone flying with the impact. As Darklore attempted to recover, Armageddon's off hand shot out, grappling his neck, before he delivered a vicious bite to his foe's neck. Darklore's whole body became rigid, as the hundreds of the souls trapped within his body were soon swallowed into Armageddon's hulking form, anguished cries peircing the air as their essence as erased from existence, feeding the Dark Devourer's insatiable hunger. But not even the innumerable spirits could help protect their master from the apocalypse incarnate's wrath; energy seeped out from Darklore's battered form and leeched into Armageddon's body, a purplish glow feeding out from Darklore's body as his very essence fed into Armageddon's own body.

Soon, Armageddon had his fill. The abomination unceremoniously dropped Darklore onto the floor. The souls trapped within him had goen silent; those who had not been eaten by Armageddon had been severely weakened by the draining. Darklore himself seemed to not move; he was more limp than a boned fish. Armageddon let out a low snarl oh satisfaction. You do not control the apocalypse incarnate, and insult him, and expect to get away with it scot-free.

Armageddon soon turned to the other fighters. Sauros aimed a deadly necrosis spell right for him, aiming to blast him off of his feet. Growling, Armageddon backflipped high into the air, avoiding the necrotic blast, before he landed behind Sauros. As Sauros turned around, he grabbed his 'ally' and soon blasted him, point blank in the face, with his deadly devil's flare. Sauros let out a roar of pain, which soon turned to a cry of anguish, as the acidic 'fire' ate away at his thick, demonic armor. The black essence sizzled audibly against his body, soon eating through the thinner plates, before they began to eat away at the fleh beneath the armor. Sauros thrashed about wildly in pain attempting to dispel the magic. Armageddon let go of the god, letting him thrash about in pain from the hellish attack.

Soon, Armageddon locked his eyes on the demonic fox, who soon began to dart about wildly, attempting to diorient her foe. Quickly getting frustrated, Armageddon slamemd a magically empowered fist into the earth, creating a massive eruption of dark magic that he hoped would catch Mara in its enormous radius....

[Tenshi the Sunkern]

The eruption nailed Mara in mid-step. Caught off-guard, the Kitsune was thrown back, already scorched hide bleeding and enflamed from the assault as she crashed into the earth, shards and bits and glass and buildings embedded into her flesh. As she lay there, as if too weak to get up, Armageddon's booming laughter rattled her eardrums. A powerful paw slammed down onto her neck, pinning the fox there as Arma chuckles. "Where is your proud boasting, fox? I thought you said I was too low for your tastes, and yet you are nearly dead." The beast spat down as he began to apply pressure upon Mara's neck, threatening to break it. "It is only so unfortunate that the bitch you serve-"

"No."

The words, though weak and nearly snuffed out by the pressure on the fox's throat, still heard by Arma, but it wasn't so much that than the fox's body beginning to crackle with eelctricity that caught him off-guard. Before he had time to let go, the next thing Arma knew, he was flung off his feet onto his back, his entire body sizzling and roasted by countless volts running through him. From her position, Mara slowly rose up, vomit and blood dripping from her maw as she glared at Armageddon. "You can talk ill of me all you want... You can do whatever you wish from me. You can even kill Crigan for yourself, but you do not speak ill of the Hellian Queen. The pantheon you killed?" Mara spat, lightning dancing in her eyes as she tried as hard as she could from collapsing. "All those gods combined are but a mere insect compared to the greatness of Persephone. Thus I have served her loyally, and I will not fail her now!" She howled, eyes bloodshot as her entire body crackles and fizzed. Suddenly, the very earth began to tremble and shake. At first, it seemed like she was going to do what she had done before... but when her tails began to raise up, it was clear it was something else. Lightning danced and whirled around her as energy spheres formed around them. Those energy spheres merged together, forming a single, giant orb of electricity. WIth a furous shout, she hurled it right for Armageddon...

But either because of her blurring vision or because of fate, the orb flew right past the monster... and slammed into a recovering Darklore. Not having enough time to dodge it, the great demon was sent off his feet and tumbling head over heels, parts of his bony armor blasted apart and his body twitching from paralysis one he had stilled. Breathing heavilly, Mara collapsed onto her side and lay there... She had used up the last of her energy, and was too tired, exhausted, and weak to fight... she was helpless...

[The Great MM]

As the dark lord climbed to his feet, chunks of bone fell from his armor. His rubber-like flesh, having taken so much punishment, flaked away like ash while sparks of electricity still danced between his limbs from Mara’s latest assault. The devil scowled softly as his right hand clenched the Chaos Mace tightly. His eyes, normally invisible to the naked eye, now burned with a blistering crimson hate. From the broken plate that covered the top half of his visage, a dark mist escaped and drifted upward.

The devil spoke.

“I am going to rip your souls APART!” He shouted, embers erupting into hellfire as he pointed his mace at the collapsed Mara!

From the many points of the weapon, demonic lightning launched! But it wasn’t natural electricity, but true darkness energized. It ripped into her fur and detonated, shredding meat and fur alike! The fallen fox howled in agony and rolled to the side as the jagged bolt carved a path of destruction between her right legs.

Just as he lowered the mace, a demonic wave of power hit his back and made him stumble forward. Catching himself before he fell, Darklore spun around and faced his attacker: Sauros. The dinosaurian dark lord hissed as he clenched his own mace. Instantly, Darklore fired another bolt, but the nimble devil leaped to the side…

As planned…

For Darklore’s massive set of dinosaurian jaws, even larger than Sauros’ own, stretched far and wide as unholy power collected. Whips of energy danced between the interlocking teeth before the dark orb launched outward, carrying with it the full force of a world war! Before Sauros could react, the swirling mass of twisted energy impacted the dark lord! A colossal explosion spread outward like a blossoming flower as the ground erupted around him and sent the demon flying back, landing with a hard thud on his back!

As Sauros groaned, Darklore’s jaws remained open as he spun on his heel. He launched another orb… directly into the recovering Armageddon, who was still surging with electricity from Mara’s latest attack. The gigantic beast howled, but it was at the worst possible time! The orb flew directly into his gapping muzzle, ending the war-cry in mid-sound! A blistering ball of flame spewed outward, carrying pieces of raw meat along with it! The burly demon collapsed on his head as rivers of crimson flowed from the ruined jaws of the creature.

Turning on his heel again, Darklore launched a third orb, targeting the collapsed Mara…

The swirling mass of twisted energy sped towards the collapsed fox, bringing doom, dishonor and defeat with it. Mara feared these consequences, but she didn't have the time nor the strenght to avoid the incoming blast. The dark orb was getting closer, closer...Until a huge mace hit it with frightening force, sending it off course up in the sky. Both Mara and Darklore watched who interfered with surprise. Sauros.

"Now, now" he said, with an amused tone "We do not want you out just yet, do we, kitsune? You are way too much fun" the Tyrant then extended his hand. With an explosion, the Lightning Whip spell reached out and struck at the floored fox.

Mara felt new energy within her, pure thunder curse through her veins. Then her eyes opened, pure white with the heat in them. Her fur rose with newfound voltage, and she stood up again, roaring like thunder to the skies. The power that was now invigorating her was still coming from Sauros's hand, as he smirked in contempt.

The other two villains stared, with surprise at first, then with disapproving and disgusted gazes. "Sauros, you fool" growled Armageddon "You helped her" "And you're the one discussing about evil" chanted the souls in Darklore "He will consume you, you're not even worth being called a demon". Sauros just smirked. "You have much to learn" he said, not yet looking at the other two "Power has a cost, and I love puppets" his fist, still emitting lightning, clenched, and he pulled it away from the fox, directing it at Darklore and Armageddon. Like an energized leash, the stream of lightning tensed, and a struggling Mara was forced to face the other monsters, snarling. The power cursing through her gave her strenght, yes, but it was enough to have a limited control on her. She bared her fangs, preparing to attack.

Darklore reacted almost instantly, the maw on his arm opening to fire two globes of dark energy. One, hitting Mara, made her hiss in pain, but the power feeding her made her recover fast. However, Sauros was not so lucky. Not reacting fast enough, the black orb connected with his left arm. The limb was thrown backwards with a grunt of pain from its owner. That actually could have broken something, and he'd need a little time to get its use back. No matter, he knew how to keep them busy. He intended to prove his great magical might now.

Letting go of his mace, which was left hovering about next to him, he snapped his fingers, the movement creating what seemed like little bubbles around his fingers. Suddenly, Darklore's vision started to get blurry. Things were moving around, forming strange shapes, liquefying and solidifying, and also his earing was affected. He felt like he was watching and hearing the world through a veil of water, which distorted everything. He also felt light-headed.

As the massive beast began lumbering around, utterly lost in the effect of the Confusion spell, Sauros extended his hand again, his glowing red palm pointed to Armageddon. There was a brief flash of red light, then the Envoy of the End's vision became crimson, his eyes also taking on that same color, and he felt drawn to attack in a fearsome fury the confused Darklore. His fearsome claws descended on Darklore with great ferocity, and in his state, the giant was unable to react, as the void and powerful blades slammed on him and cut deep several times.

Pleased with the effect of the Betrayal spell, Sauros threw his thundering fist forwards, and Mara charged at the two monsters. She landed on them, her sharp and heated talons digging deep into their bodies and sending volts upon volts of thunderous power in them. As the fox mauled them, Sauros stopped the power source to the fox. With the sudden interruption, Mara felt drained of much of the regained strenght, stopping for a second, and that was enough for Armageddon to shake her off his back. She landed on her side, but now she had her energy restored, and prepared to fight anew.

Sauros chuckled and, taking hold of his mace once more, he swung it downwards, and hit the ground. Fire erupted around the monsters, as skeletal shadows emerged from the fires. The demons grabbed them and held them in place. The fires didn't harm them, but the heat combined with the touch of shadows was not a pleasant feeling. Sauros swung his mace again, horizontally this time, and a black, demonic head enveloped in flames materialized in front of him and sharged at the trapped demons. It hit them allin a powerful blast of shadow energy that knocked them back, and in their pain, the creatures saw the immensity and the emptyness of the pure darkness.

As the Dark Blast ended, they were all on their backs, dizzy, but not enough to not see Vesuvius being swung again, releasing a black-red wave of energy heading for them....
