A Long-Awaited Fight

[Alethia]

Light looked around in mild disgust as she beheld the Abyss. "I don't like it here," she muttered, then paused as her eyes caught the flight of something approaching. "I think I see someone," she warned Severance.

---

Demetria wasn't about to rush headlong into the fight, but she did make a few passes, taunting her opponents. That's right, you're not going to catch us with our pants down, she thought smugly. You had better be ready for a bloodbath.

[iamtuo]

Severance nods and tightened his grip on his sword and shield. "That is Demetria.." He motions with his sword for the angels under his command to take up positions to guard the flanks and rears of the other angels.

Halo unstraps his two handed hammer from off his back and raises it into the air and gives out a loud cry. "For justice!" He flies foward, followed by his angels who charge/fly behind him, letting loose there own warcries with the angels of Severance to cover there flanks and rear in case of surpise attacks.

____________________________________________________

Bael glares out across the charging angels and gives out an unholy bellow as a swarm of vile demons and tortured souls rise up ready to fight the attacking angels.

[Alethia]

Demetria smirked, letting the others surge ahead as she made her retreat towards the back lines. She made a better general and assassin then anything; the battlefield was not her place. Spotting Light, she grinned wickedly. I'll keep my eye on that one then, she decided, retreating further back.

---

Light made a motion and most of her angels surged ahead with Halo's. She noted with satisfaction that there was an imbalance between the number of demons per angel. That front was looking good, then. "Where do you think Demetria will keep Noel?" she asked of Severance.

[iamtuo]

Severance grimaced as he answered. "Probably in her personal chambers...if we are lucky she hasnt had the chance to taint him yet..." Severance doesnt like telling Light that, but wont lie to her about what will happen to Noel if they fail or if they are already to late.

At this time Halo and his angels crashes into the front lines of Bael's and Demetria's dark hosts, scattering them as Halo crushes demons and tortured spirits with every swing of his hammer.

____________________________________________________

Bael laughs as the bloodshed begins but does not yet move foward to the front lines, willing to let Halo and the angels fighting by his side to tire out first.

[Alethia]

A lithe demon, a remarkable shooter with his black iron crossbow and poisoned bolts, looks to Bael and asks, "Do you think the angels have padded their front lines with fodder, as we have, master?"

---

Light swallows hard, not wanting to think about failure and its consequences. "Can you tell me how to get there? I want to get Noel as fast as I can."

[Shidani]

Wearing his father's crimson and black armor, Eclipse flies towards the front lines. His sword drawn, Eclipse dives down into a group of Light's angels, tearing and slicing into their ranks with deadly speed, the armor increasing his already impressive strength and stamina with every cut he puts into the angels.

[Adris]

Hel saunters closer to the front lines, in her hands is the rapidly decaying corpse of an angel who her fingers are wrapped around the heart of. Modgud was defending her master with a wicked scythe, showing that she was indeed a goddess and not some second stringer.

"These are the ones eh? You can all come straight to Hel," she smashes the crystal on the ground, "but I promise you won't make it."

Throughout the Abyss the gut wrenching roar could be heard. One paw at a time the portal widened until eventually the hideous form of Garm made it through. She stroked her pet before it began its work. Almost immediately it began its tear through the attacking lines, soon they would become the defence though, so very very soon.

[Northen Light36]

Seeing Eclipse, Shadow moves to defend the angels. Drawing his silver sword, blazing with shadow energy, the God steps forward and blocks Eclipse's next attack. "Why don't you try your luck against me, child?" he growls.

[Tuyet]

Ferrer teleports into the Abyss slightly behind the front line, and raises his bow before firing carefully aimed poisoned arrows into the ranks of the angels.

"This will make a good show..."

[iamtuo]

Severance pales once Garm appears and tears into the angels. "By the heavens...." He flies in towards Garm's location intent on trying to stop it from slaughtering the angels, gathering holy power in his sword and unleashing it towards Garm.

Halo detects Eclipse's presence not far from where he is battling demons and with a jolt, recognizes the armor of Gigalon worn by Eclipse. He too notices Shadow going to fight Eclipse and fears that he will not be able to win. Halo then begins to smash his way through the swarms of demons to reach Eclipse and Shadow. "Be careful Shadow! That armor he wears belongs to Gigalon, it can absorb the blood of others to empower it's wearer!"


____________________________________________________


Bael looks upon the sheer destruction being caused by Hel, Garm and Modgud, as well as Eclipse's speed and strength before deciding that now is the time to push the advantage and kill as many angels as possible before they decide to regroup. With a roar he charges into the front lines, followed by his personal bodyguards as they unleash pain and death where they go, led by Bael.

[Alethia]

Light gulps, looking at the destruction. She wavers between staying, and fighting, and slipping through now that she has the ensuing chaos as a cover.

It'll only take a moment, and Noel will be a powerful asset she decides, swooping out of the main wing of her angels and gliding alone to where she last saw Demetria.

---

Demetria glanced up, smirking to herself as she saw Light descend closer to the ground. "I can read you like a book," she sneered under her breath, waiting until she was sure she was seen before darting into the complex of lairs, ready to play a game of string-along with the Lady of Angels.

[Shidani]

Eclipse hears Halo approaching, and smiles at Shadow. "You heard him." Eclipse raises his bloodstained sword, and wipes a line of blood off with his finger. He then smears the blood on the armor, which drinks up the blood. "Prepare yourself!" Eclipse takes a low stance, his blade pointing up and at Shadow's neck, daring him to attack.

[Northen Light36]

Shadow just gives Eclipse a contemptous look and replies, "It will take more then you to shed my blood." Lifting his blade into a guard stance, Shadow waits calmly, his face an expressionless mask.

[Adris]

Garm gives out a feral roar that even makes Hel stop and take notice at the feel of Severance's blade. There was no true visible wound on the beast though, even though you know it was hurt from the surprise attack of a God. It bounded in the direction of it's assaultant. With a gnashing of teeth it moves with grace and quickness that dosn't seem to match its size.

Modgud continues her job while Hel looks in the distance, as if she just recieved a message. She was the only one that knew that was happening right at this moment. A few new arrows flew with deadly accuracy, followed by a well placed javalin, taking out an unsuspecting angel. Decked in full battle gear was a new entrant, covered with more rusty weapons then one would think plausible for battle. Upon Demetria's lair complex stood the Asgardian God of Destruction, Holler.

[Tuyet]

The God of Rhetoric tenses from surprise, and the arrow he was about to fire at an angel ends up shot into the ground in front of the target due to his aim being off. Reminding himself that Garm isn't going after him, he is about to return his attention to the battle when Holler appears. For a split second, Ferrer stares in mute shock before returning to shooting at any angels who seem to have ranged weapons.
