Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsuliria's fingers drummed against her scythe seeing Jazz dodge the attack, she looked down as he dove under her and seeing the shot coming towards her, she hit the end of the scythe causing it to flip in the air as she moved out of the way.
Seeing him fly in the air she reached out and caught her scythe holding it behind her as she fed darkness to it.

She made a sweeping motion with her hand as he threw the spears causing holes to open behind her.
Purple hands burst out of the small openings in reality and collided with the tiny orbs as Tsuliria watched from between them, the explosions destroying the hands in the process. Her blade started letting off a dark aura as the holes closed.

Her darkness seemed to react to the large amount of light in the area causing an endless amount to run through her as she watched Jazz grow what seemed to be a wing.

Seeing the feathers she moved her scythe forward slashing rapidly at the air causing crescents of darkness to shoot out towards Jazz as she sat on her scythe and flew towards him.

She weaved through the feathers, spinning and rotating to dodge what her crescents didn't destroy, one cut her cheek but she continued
nonetheless.

While drawing closer she smacked the hilt of the scythe causing it to flip and rotate high in the air cutting circular holes in reality in the process as Tsuliria spun vertically through the air after it.

"There."
Holding her hand out she caught her scythe and flying upside down pointed towards Jazz before hundreds of flaming green skulls poured out of the holes at him as Tsuliria adjusted herself and sat back down looking down at Jazz.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rebirth crumbled to the ground with it's brethren as Yama took it's head off, however the glow on his hand blinked as the head moved back over to the body before it reattached as the Rebirth stood up.
Looking around it noticed the dead Handler and the rest of his brethren, he started to advanced but stopped hearing a voice.
"That's enough, go acquire more forces before advancing again."
The Rebirth was still before giving a slight nod and fading into the ground.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalan nodded to Inae and started to follow, however just as he was about to jump off the Handler's eyes came back and it regained consciousness, letting out a loud bellow it started lifting back into the sky as the Crawler finally fell crashing into the earth below.
"Wait! Let me down first! Hey!"
Kalan tugged on the hair of the Handler as it flew above the clouds with a screaming Kalan.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Carrier let out a groan before it fell down into two separate halves, three of the five crawlers were impaled by the spears while both Feeders were struck falling to the ground afterward.
The Rebirth was able to dodge three of the spears but was hit by the rest before falling to the ground.
However the glow on it's hand blinked as the Rebirth sat back up pulling the spears out and cracking it's neck as it continued to advance towards the team.
The remaining two Rifters left their rifts and also walked towards the group.

"Impudent little whelps."
All the demons froze as Kervani appeared, the two Crawlers froze, the Rebirth stopped and the Rifters stopped their movements and bowed as he passed by them.
"You just couldn't die like sensible beings could
you?"

Kervani's eyes let off a red glow as his hair spiked up and his clothing fluttered from the energy pouring out of his body, Kina's eyes narrowed seeing the demonic energy leaking out of Kervani.
"Father Kervani....what...happened to you?"

"Kina, you shouldn't have protected this garbage, now you must share their fate," Kervani said glancing at Mirela. "I will send you to the lowest pits of oblivion Mirela."

Pet stepped in front of Mirela causing Kervani to look down at her.
"Father...your recent actions raise questions...how are you going to accomplish your goal like this?"
"Move Pet, even you can only take so much damage. Protect your new master instead if you can."
Pet shook her head keeping her attention on Kervani.
"You won't protect anyone like this Father. Please stop this."

Kervani lowered his head and closed his eyes before speaking.
"How long Pet? How long has humanity stood in comfort with the deity's departure and then when given the chance turn against each other succumb so easily. My Flora and Kalan, I was too weak to protect them so I gave my humanity up so they would remain safe. How was I repaid...he took her.... he took her from me! My wife...my love....no more! They will repent with their lives. All of them! You included! I will purify you in crimson!"

A large pillar of blood burst from Kervani that penetrated even the clouds, cutting the demons unfortunate enough to be above him.

Twenty large red spheres of blood appeared around Kervani as he held his arms out a toothy grin on his face before he started laughing as the demon started moving again
One of the spheres shot out a large corkscrew of blood decimating a row of buildings before they all turned towards the group.
"Suffer eternally!"

"WATCH OUTTTTTT!"
Kervani lowered his arms hearing a familiar voice, looking up he saw a Handler falling down towards the earth with a large hole through him, blood was on Kalan's face as he held onto the head, his feet dangling in the air as it fell towards the earth.

Kalan's screams grew louder with each passing moment before Kervani's eyes widened, he started to run but it was too late.

The Handler hit the ground where Kervani was and skid along the it taking out all the demons in the process as the blood spheres vanished.
Kalan flew off the Handler waving his arms as he tried to straighten himself out before hitting the ground and tumbling along it until he was in front of everyone.

Kalan stared at the sky before sitting up and rubbing the side of his head, he stood up and brushed off his pants before looking back at the Handler.
He turned back to everyone before running a hand through his hair.
"So....how's everyone doing?"

A giant pillar of blood exploded from the Handler throwing it high into the air before it came crashing down on a building a few feet away as Kervani stood up.
"Kalan......"
Kalan's eyes were wide and with slight hesitation her turned to see Kervani glaring at him before a Handler's eyeball landed next Kalan's foot.
"Oh hey Father! How's it going?" Kalan said kicked the eyeball away.

Kervani's eye twitched before he snapped his fingers.

Ten Handlers appeared from the clouds and started descending towards the earth, their mouth's open as demons poured out of them and fell towards the square
.
Pet's eyes narrowed seeing most of the falling demons being Carriers which were spitting out even more demons.
Kalan looked back at Kervani who's attention was focused on the sky.
"It's safe to say that we are boned," Kalan said looking up at the sky. "I don't know about you...but I don't exactly have an army with me."

Pet looked at Kina.
"Your orders Master."
Kina looked down at Pet as she turned her book to a page, Kina nodded and turned back towards the falling demons.
"Do what you have too."
"Is level six okay?"
"I don't see why not."

Pet nodded and eight pentagrams appeared around everyone in a large circle, the pentagrams let off a black glow before human like creatures started crawling out of them.
By time Pet finished the incantation hundreds of armored demons stood around them.
"Now we have an army," Pet said closing her book.
Kalan looked back at Kervani and met his eyes, the two stared silently at each other before Kalan drew two swords of straw.
"Guess there's no other choice then," he said smiling.

Kina's held her arm out causing butterflies to hover around it.
"I won't abandon anyone and I have to make sure she has something to return too."

Pet kept her book open, her answer obvious as she stared ahead.

"Fine....then you can all die together."

The demons landed, hundreds of Crawlers, Rifters, Feeders, Carriers not to mention the Handlers still hovering above them all focused on the group.
"I don't see any Rebirth's that will make things easier," Pet said as Amora's shadows hovered around her.
The Amora remnant glanced back at Inae before turning back towards the demon keeping it's attention forward.
Kalan looked back at Mirela and grinned.
"We gotta do our part too right?"
Kalan turned forward and watched as the army of demons rushed towards them.
"Protect the one's you care for and continue forward for those that have gone ahead without us! Carry on in the name of Justice and Love!"
Kalan pointed his straw sword forward.
"ATTACK!"

The armored demon's rushed forward and clashed with the other demons as Kalan ran forward into the battle, Kina not too far behind him, Amora sent shadow duplicates of herself forward as Pet controlled the army a red glow in her eyes.

Yama turned his head, looking towards the fountain as he seen the flames erupting.
"What the...."
He ran back, to see Seven destroying all the demons. He appeared in front of Seven, making him notice he wasnt a threat.

"Planning on saving the city? i hope its possible..."

He looked around as no more demons are around. Letting out a sigh, sitting. He needed a small break as he pulled out a small flask of water.

Tsuliria landed on the ground as her attack met its course, however she stopped seeing a large tree appear throwing her skulls in the process.
Her eyes narrowed before she turned her attention back to Jazz looking at the light around him, she felt her darkness respond to his light as he spoke to her.

She looked around at the petals as her eyes started glowing an ominous purple, her scythe hovered next to her as she crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Not even the light of the gods can banish my darkness Jazz," she said before lowering her arms to her side.
A dark aura started lifting from her before she looked back at Jazz.
"Try and end my existence."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalan turned his body dodging a claw from a Crawler before cutting through it.
He jumped over a Rifter as it tried to cut him horizontally, before sliding under another Crawler cutting upwards as he did so.
He pushed off his hands throwing himself in the air as he threw a straw into a Feeder.
"Feel the power of Justice!"


Kina jumped and kicked a Carrier placing a butterfly on him before making him fall back into a group of demons.
The butterfly exploded as Kina jumped through the dust of the explosions her butterflies swirling around her cutting everything in the way.
Kina jumped out of the way of a Crawler's strike and landed on top of it.
Taking hold of the little girl’s hair she turned her body and hurled it into the demonic crowd blowing it up shortly after.

Kervani's ears picked up a sound and he looked in Mirela's direction before seeing the rope wrap around him, he smiled as he also saw Strength coming towards him.
"Worthless little maggot. You forget I've heard this song before!"

Kervani faded out of existence before reappearing a few feet from his spot leaving a bloody mirage of himself in it's space.
"I'll tear you apart first!"

Kervani extended his hand sending a large horizontal pillar of blood slicing through the army towards Mirela, a grin slid onto his face as it formed into a clawed hand.

Kalan looked forward seeing the hand before quickly turning his body skidding along the ground a little.
He sprinted back towards Mirela dodging the demons as Pet's army held some of the demons back. She wasn't able to stop the three Crawlers heading towards Strength.

Kalan withdrew his straw as the hand caught up to him, he leaned forward his breathing getting heavy as the two neared Mirela.

Kalan let out a loud yell and for a split second a spark of darkness appeared behind him as he burst forward ahead of the hand, placing his foot down he turned and scooping Mirela into his arms jumped out of the way as the hand crashed into the fountain.
Kalan slid a little and let out a sigh before smiling down at Mirela.
"That was a little too close."

"Kalan!"
Kalan turned to see a large butterfly appear; he nodded and jumped on it as Kina guided it into the sky towards the Handlers.
Kalan set Mirela down and took hold of the butterfly a toothy grin on his face.

Pet continued guiding her army as the Amora duplicates cut through the demons while weaving through the crowd.
"Summon Remnant! Ulior!"

A hand burst out of the ground before Ulior crawled out of the ground, Pet pointed towards the sky at the Handlers who were still spitting out the demons.
"Help Kalan and Mirela!"

Ulior nodded and extending his hand caused large red barriers to trap two heads, they screeched and slammed against the side of the barriers.
Ulior smirked and closed his hand crushing the Handlers causing them to fall towards the Earth.
Ulior lowered his gaze and started helping the army as a Feeder jumped into a Carrier.
The Carrier bellowed before opening its mouth as demons started pouring out of it.
"Inae! Take out that Carrier!" Pet yelled directing Amora's shadows alongside Strength.


Kalan guided the butterfly narrowly missing being hit by a falling Handler.
The two came upon another Handler as it turned its attention towards them.
"Mirela! I'm going to need some help!"

The Handler opened it's mouth as it grew closer, Kalan stood up and running forward leaped off the butterfly.
"Kalan and Mirela combination! DOUBLE SPINNING KICK OF JUSTICE!"

Kalan turned his body and slammed his foot in the forehead of the Handler before pushing off leaning his body back.
The Handler roared as it started flying back but worked on regaining it's balance, Kalan currently upside down looked at Mirela before yelling.
"Hurry he'll recover soon! Knock him fully off guard!"

Kalan drew straw into his hands as he fell backward waiting for Mirela.

Flying demons circled the battlefield, two dived at Inae wailing as they stuck their clawed hands out for her.
Feeders jumped into a Rifter causing it to roar before it entered a Rift and started moving towards Pet.
"That doesn't work on me," Pet said extending her hand towards the Rifter.
"Establishing! Power Linora!"

Red lines appeared in the Rifter's way, when it came in contact the lines cut the Rifter causing it to fall out of the ground in heaps.
"Release,"

The lines vanished and Pet let out a sigh as she summoned more demons as four more Handlers poured out of the skies.
"This might get messy..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's entertaining isn't it?"

Kailos stood on a rooftop away from the battle, the head of a Handler on the building next to him.
"He wanted to make sure I didn't interfere, annoying priest ruining all my fun."

A cloaked figure stood next to Kailos with their hood up, Kailos pulled his down and looked over at the figure.
"Yet you loved him.....didn't you Flora."

The figure reached up with small pale hands and pulled off their hood revealing the face of a woman with long black hair.
She came up a few inches short of Kailos' height, she was petite and had a milky white face.
Her amber eyes were blank and devoid of emotion as she stared at Kervani.
"Master will be pleased."
Kailos chuckled and turned back to the battle.
"Indeed he will be, still we didn't think he'd call forth an army of demons, that was a very welcome bonus.
Kailos crossed his arm a small smile on his face.
"The plan is in motion and Jazz is a distant problem."
"Do not underestimate him, his light is still a problem to us."
"It doesn't matter now, it's too late to stop what's in motion."

Kailos chuckled lowly before turning and walking back into the shadows, Flora glanced back at the battle before pulling her hood back up and vanishing into the darkness.

Listening to Kalan, Mirela gave a small nod. She was extremely thankful that he had saved her. "Coming!" Clutching Love to her chest, Mirela moved to the edge of the butterfly.'I suppose I should make this look good... I owe Kalan a lot.'

Taking a deep breath, Mirela back-flipped off of the butterfly toward the Handler that Kalan had kicked. Shifting her body position, Mirela pulled her leg back as she approached her target. Finally coming within range, she jerked her body around causing herself to do a mid-air spin. Mirela thrust her leg forward and slammed her foot into the Handler.

Following Kalan's actions, Mirela rebounded off of the Handler and spun her body horizontally to face Kalan, falling face down toward the ground. "Kalan!" Upon Mirela's face was a look of pure fear. 'Why... Why did I do this!'

Inae quickly brought her attention upward to see the two demons flying toward her. Running out of the way, Inae looked at the card she had previously drawn and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Tarot VIII - Strength! Dismiss!"

Hearing Inae call her name, Strength threw her arm into the air, the gems on her jewelry beginning to shine immensely. Fleeing from the approaching Crawlers, Strength took her place at Inae's side, holding her rapier in front of her face as Inae took the card she had been holding.

"Goodbye, m'lady."

As the card was removed from her, Strength quickly reverted to her wispy form before breaking apart and returning to her card.

Returning Strength to her pouch, Inae took a deep breath. "This... This ends now." Narrowing her eyes, Inae lifted the card high above her, which in reality wasn't very high at all.

"Tarot XVI - The Tower!"

The ground began to shake and tremble, splitting around the area that Kervani was in. Within moments, bits of earth exploded from the ground as it began to quake, a bright purple mist cloud appeared in the aftermath of the explosion. It rose high up into the sky, taking out some of the lesser demons that were unfortunate enough to be caught in the immediate area.

A shockwave began to ripple out from around the tower, rapidly spreading throughout the entirety of fountain square. Inae dropped to the ground after the tower reached its full height, trembling from pain. The small girl bit down onto her lip, causing blood to trickle down her chin. 'It can't end now... Not like this. Not for me...'

Jazz quickly jumped back as Tsuliria began her onslaught, petals quickly flying in front of him to protect him. Jazz held his hand out as feathers from his wings joined the petals as the beams slammed into them. Thrusting out his other hand, more feathers and petals joined to hold back the barrage of beams before him. Seeing little escape, Jazz wrapped his wings around him, a flurry of feathers encasing him as the flames from above met with the massive laser to his front.

"I can't take much more of this..."

His wings began to dent and shake as his powers struggled to hold on. With one last breath, Jazz began to spin, the tree beneath him shooting off petals to form a massive whirlwind around him. His wings flew open, redirecting the giant beam of darkness out into the open sky as the whirlwind sliced through the skulls, routing the hell fire around him to the ground. Jazz let out a sigh of relieve before clapping his hands together.

"Final Spear....Lavaethan"

Jazz hands flashed brightly as a white light wrapped up his arm, the head of a dragon adorning his hand. As his hands split, a massive spear of light formed, this was Lavaethan, the forbidden spear of the deities, the seventh spear of legend that was locked behind the seventh gate. Jazz' eyes burst with light as the spear burned into his hand.

"Just stay down after this...don't make me resort to using it..."

Jazz threw the spear, the massive white flames flying from it's tip seemed to rip through the very fabric of reality as it flew towards Tsuliria. The white light on Jazz' arm slowly faded as the spear left him, the loud roar filling the air.

Climbing down off of the butterfly before it vanished, Mirela shifted both Love and her bow to one arm before kneeling down and lifting Inae into her arms. "I'm not going anywhere without Kalan!" The situation was causing her to panic. Softening her eyes, she looked to where Kalan was falling and took a few steps back. "K-Kalan!!"

"I-Idiot..." Inae mumbled, raising her trembling hand. "Think about... Your own life and the lives of others for... For once..." Slipping her hand into her pouch, she wearily brought out another card as the tower began to form javelins all around it. "I'm... I'm only doing this to put an end to your constant w-whining..." Inae weakly lifted her arm upwards.

"Tarot... Tarot XVI - The Tower... D-Dismiss..."

The Tower then faded away right before the javelins fired, stopping its final attack. It returned to Inae, allowing her to regain a bit of her strength.

"Now... Tarot IV - The Emperor."

The Emperor returned once again, though his wispy form was distorted from Inae's lack of strength. "Save... Save him." As Inae pointed up at Kalan, the Emperor unleashed his companion eagle toward him.

Blazing through the sky, the eagle dove to Kalan and took hold of the back of his shirt with its beak. The wispy eagle strained to keep Kalan safe from falling. As it reached its master, the eagle dropped Kalan a few feet from the ground before fading away, the Emperor not far behind.

"Inae... Thank you." Giving her sister a sincere smile, Mirela turned her attention toward Kalan. "Come on, we have to go. Everyone will be fine, but we need to leave." Taking off running with both Love and Inae in her arms, Mirela turned her head back to Kalan. "Please, hurry!" She turned her attention forward once more, trying to make it out of the capitol as quickly as possible.

"To think that I've fallen as far as this... I'm still... Still going to fight you." Inae narrowed her eyes up at Mirela before turning her head back. She kind of hoped that Kalan would follow for two reasons. One, she didn't want to be completely alone with Mirela. The other reason was that she now wanted Kalan to be around when Mirela took her last breath. "H-Hurry up, Kalan...!"

"Three."

Tsuliria watched as Jazz took out her attack, the explosions behind her causing her hair and clothing to flutter .
Her eyebrows drew down a little when he spoke to her before she watched him sink to the ground.
She slowly lowered onto the ground placing her feet down as Jazz spoke to her again, her eyes widened at the word 'friend' but she remained silent.

"Two."

Seeing the orb of light leave his chest she felt her darkness draw to it, she clutched at her chest to contain the darkness within her.
She kept her attention on Jazz finding his wings were blinding to look at as they pulsated behind him.

Her mind flashed back to when they first met as he flew at her, that determination in his eyes still burning within the confines of her mind.
A small smile formed on her face as she looked at Jazz before a black tear ran down the side of her cheek.
"I'm sorry Kina...."

"One."

"Goodbye....Jazz."

The pentagrams and lines flew into Tsuliria's ring as the skeleton laughed while pointing at Tsuliria.
The ring let off a black glow as the darkness consumed Tsuliria, blood trickled down her face as the darkness cut her cheek.
Her eyes reverted to their yellow glow before the ring of chains exploded behind her, Tsuliria's chains burst out of the ring and flew high into the air attached to only her back.
The purple glow enveloped the chains as the faces of the damned appeared on the links as Tsuliria brought the mountain of chains down.

"Vindication of the 666 Order!"

Tsuliria brought her chains down slamming it into Jazz's orb as he neared her, the two opposing powers collided as the two were enveloped in a large sphere of light and dark.

The sphere grew consuming the mountain as Jazz's light and Tsuliria's darkness twirled around each other spreading out to the field burning everything it came in contact with.
The sphere made the earth rumble and tore apart even the wind itself as it stretched over the field.

The sphere finally faded away leaving small balls of light and darkness hovering around the area.

A large smoldering crater was left from the sphere as crackles of dark and light lightning filled the crater that covered most of the field.
The mountain and most of the field around it was completely decimated by the corruption of the darkness and the shine of the light.
The light and dark orbs faded from existence as the only remnant of the battle cackled with the energy of the two envoy's.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalan opened his eyes feeling something carry him, surprised to see it was an eagle.
He started to question how it was carrying him before he watched it fade away.
He turned to Inae and Mirela before turning back to Pet, Kalan looked from Pet to Mirela and back again before letting out a small sigh.
"Pet."
Pet looked back at Kalan as he made a motion with his thumb grinning.
"Put a barrier up behind me."

Pet stared at Kalan before nodding, she raised her hand causing a barrier to rise from the ground and block Kalan from Mirela.
Kalan looked back at Mirela before smiling a small sad smile as a dark aura started to envelop him..
"Don't look okay...this is something you shouldn't see."

Darkness surrounded Kalan as his hair took on a black color and grew down to his neck before hanging off his shoulders.
Dark markings appeared around each his arms before an aura of darkness exploded from beneath him causing his hair and clothing to flutter.
Pet looked back at Kalan her eyes widening.
"Kalan! Don't-"
Her sentence was cut off as the barrier fell and the demons rushed forward.

Kalan's eyes shot open as a red glow took over his once green eyes, fangs protruded out of his mouth before his fingernails formed into long claws.
Kalan let out a loud demonic roar before lowering his head as black hellfire circle around his arms.

Kalan rushed forward into the crowd of demons throwing Kina and Pet back in the process.
He grab the face of a Crawler and pulled it's head off before hurling it at a Rifter causing it to stagger, running forward he snapped the Rifter's arm and ripped it off before turning and cutting through a Carrier.
He turned once more and shoved his hand through a Rebirth's chest before black hellfire consumed it entirely until only ashes were left.

Kervani's eyes widened as he noticed the change in Kalan, he pointed towards him causing Yosliv to let out a loud roar and making a fist brought it down to the capital towards Kalan.

Kalan looked up at Yosliv and his dark aura exploded from his body before swirling high into the sky.
His aura slowly formed into a mist before making a large figure that matched Yosliv in size.
Eight arms formed on the creature before it materialized and took hold of Yosliv's wrist .
The creature's six beady black eyes matched it's black torso as four of it's arms took hold of Yosliv's head.
Pet looked up at it her eyes widening.
"That's the top arch demon, Valcas! How...only Reaper can..."

Valcas roared as it pushed Yosliv back into his portal and slammed it shut before sinking back into Kalan's body.
Kalan turned towards the advancing army and built darkness around his fist.
He noticed the demons had divided and now surrounded him on all sides growling lowly at him.
His eyes narrowed before the demons lurched forward claws and fangs aimed at Kalan.

Kalan slammed his fist into the ground causing dark spikes to explode from the earth and pierce the demons, some spikes grew high into the air piercing the Handler's who flew in the sky.
Crimson rained around Kalan staining his clothes and skin as he slowly lifted his body back up, a black mist forming at his feet.
Black smoke poured out Kalan's mouth as he breathed before he turned his head to the sky and opening his mouth let the crimson fall into it.
He closed his eyes as red stained everything around him as he stood in the graveyard of impaled demons, the black mist covering the area around him.

Kalan slowly turned his head to Kervani before vanishing from sight, Kervani went to move when Kalan appeared in front of him, the darkness leaving him returning him to his original form.
"I'm sorry."
A straw sword pierced Kervani's chest, Kervani's eyes widened as tears fell down Kalan's face as his father's blood stained his hands.
Kervani coughed up blood causing it to trickle down his face before smiling at him.
"I knew you'd...be the one to do it...son....."
Kervani stumbled backwards before falling to his knees, he chuckled a little before falling to the side.
His eyes slowly closed before he let out one last breath and went motionless.

Kalan breathed heavily as the dark spikes dissipated causing the demons to fall onto the ground before they vanished into ash.
Kalan walked over to Kervani and fell to his knees before looking at him.
"...father....."
Kalan fell face first onto the ground next to Kervani as darkness consumed his vision as he lost consciousness."
