Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I didn't expect you to be a part of thier conversation, I know where Zephyr is. :3 ))
Zethriel was angered by this, "Yes, I want to know Ketress!"

"Yeeesss...." He hissed like he did when he first encountered him. "I'll tell you part of it: I'm not real."

It took a while to try to comprehend it, "So you're a figment of my imagination, another voice inside my head, anthoer element of extreme paranoia?"

"Not exactly, not real in the sense I don't exist in the material world, however I manifest myself in the minds of flesh and blood creatures like you. I am a demon, a different kind that can grip the mind of my host... my host is you Zethriel." He waited to reveal the last part, of what he could do.

((*head desk* I seem to be unconsiously using subliminal messages... =_= I write stuff like that a lot... Ketress=hallucination. Yeah, Zethriel had some LSD.. bad trip...
The Mauraders, guardian's fort... both actually.))

"Oh.. but-"

"You already know what we both gain from this symbiosis. There is nothing more, it was all pretty pointless, right?" Ketress looked down, he saw a beetle run accross the floor, he ran under the seat to kill it.

Why wouldn't I want to know...? Zethriel had a haunted look to his eyes, worried.

"He'll kill you.."

"He'll lead you to your demise."

"Perhaps there is no deciet at all..."

"An enemy or false friend?"

Demons destry, demons possess."

"Lies, Ketress speaks the truth, he has nothing to hide, he doesn't wish to frighten you."

Zethriel ignored them at first, then the voices brought up some interesting points, yet tried to beat themselves down... why? Why didn't I just give up my soul? Oh, because I could live forever this way... right. Selling my soul would make no profit for the Underworld, the devil himself...

Lucifer stood tall, as the hordes of Zephyr's creations invaded his home, they opened fire on the half fiend. He ran around the perimeter of the room and slashed through a soldier's side. The wound healled itself, "Switch to melee!" One called and they pulled out close range weapons of all sorts. They rushed at him and Lucifer leapped up, onto the wall and pinned a soldier down, slicing off his head. Right after doing this another cut him in the back, causing him to jolt forward and spin around, dashing forward with a flurry of dancing blades.

Zephyr watched this all unfold, he tapped the rim of the figure he had drawn earlier and light shot upwards, beginning to take the figure of a man.

"Demons have no place in the new world" He smirked, watching Lucifer fight for his life.

Back inside Lucifer had suffered a decent amount of damage, and had take down a lot of the opposition as well. He was clashing with one, quickly breaking through their guard and bivalved him, slicing off the head and an arm in one strong swipe. He parried another strike perfectly and executed another.
Just then, Salem Shionte broke through the window, landing a fierce kick on Lucifer's head, sending him through the wall and into Sonia's room.
"Men! Retrieve Hakura and the girl!" Zephyr shouted, and the men broke down the basement door.
"Daddy!!" Sonia screamed, Hakura stayed silent, holding Sonia tightly in her arms.
"Sonia!" Lucifer shouted, Salem tugged out his twin curved blades, and rushed at Lucifer. His pupils a red tint. He swung down at Lucifer's left shoulder, he parried that and kicked at him, Salem shifted to the side, sweep kicking the leg he still had on the ground and knocked him over. Lucifer rolled back, and strafed around Salem when he got back on his feet, in a blitz of speed he burst through the wall, and back into the living room, Salem backflipped and met him in the same room, slashing at him as he went, Lucifer stopped his attempt to save his daughter and Hakura, and focused on Salem for a few moments.
"Who the hell are you!?" He asked, only to recieve a ghostly exhale in response.

Mary glanced over at Dante,
"We're gonna get this show on the road! Can't waste too much time here!" She called.
Duri crossed his arms, he was beginning to think of the risks he was taking by bringing Mary with them.

Duri nodded, "Great, now let's hit the road!" He threw his fist into the air, and drove off when the two had gotten in the car.

*****
Lucifer dashed forward, crouching slightly and swung upwards at Salem's head. He knocked the blade away, and slashed Lucifer across the chest. He fell back and then lunged at him again, he couldn't use spells, due to wanting to keep his home in one piece.
Salem leapped into the air, landing on Lucifer's shoulders. However, before that could happen, Lucifer slid back and dealt a heavy side kick to his chest, Salem hit the ground on his side, catching himself by one hand and a leg, from that postion he bounded back at Lucifer, spinning and swining his blades as he went, Lucifer leapped over him, and Salem landed fist in the ground first. Lucifer ran downstairs, after the soldiers.
Hakura and Sonia were hiding from them, in the boiller room, behind a set of storage boxes.

((Sorry I was distracted ^_^ I am planning on introducing a character: Chose: Good or bad?))

Yumi held on to the car.Dante looked out the window.

Kyra cringed away.
"Stop being a cry baby,"Rachel pouted at Kyra,swabbing the arrow wound again."Really,is this going to be a habit of yours?"
"Sorry,I let Yumi get to me."
"No I mean, turn every visit into a fight." Rachel clarified,with a sigh.
"Well it's just-"
"Your father is comming." Rachel interrupted. she put the thigs into the first aid kit and stood
"What? How do you-?" Kyra blinked at Rachel.
Just then Seiden stepped into the room."Ah Kyra,thanks Rachel."
"No problem,Master." Rachel bowed to him."You must speak to Kyra?"
"Yes dear."
"I will be outside,call me if need be." She bowed once again.The short woman left.
"What is it father?" Kyra was about to stand,but Seiden placed a hand on her and pushed her back down.
"I will be brief I promise."
Kyra looked at his father.
"If you leave the walls,I ask that you take Rachel with you."
"Why? she is a aid,not a warrior."
"Dont mistake her size,and her current actions,"Seiden looked at her,"I am ordering you to do that.You will understand once you see her in action."
"As you wish father."
"Rachel?"
"Yes Master?" The woman moved into the room,carrying a tray with tweezers and other things.
"Youheard what I said?"
"Loud and clear."
"Okay,I will leave you two." He waved and left.
"I don't understand Father som- YIAAAUWW!"Kyra cried out quickly looking at Rachel. she was holding yhe arrow tip in the tweezers.
"That...was for saying you can't fight?"
"Totally."

"Sorry but I recently passed out due to blood loss,"Yumi grumbled.
dantw coughed and stretched an arm over the seat to hug Yumi but she punched his stomach.
"Ouuwww....!"

A few minutes later, Rachel stepped out in a diffrent outfit. She had on some work pants and boots. A tight black t-shirt and a coat on. She had a pair of sword strapped on her back and apparently two guns.
"Uh," Kyra looked at Rachel,"Ya look dangerous..."
"Thanks."Rachel smirked,crounching to slip a dangger into her boot.
"Uh...what's with the deck of cards?" Kyra asked. the deck was also on her belt,but Rachel shifted her coat.
"Plenty for you to learn,Ky,"She stood up,"Come on then!"

"Whats the prob Mary?" Dante leaned foward,"cheer up gal!"
