Sachiko heard the thumping as the fire extinguisher was thrown in her general direction, she blinked a few times, staring at it awkwardly before she went to pick it up. "...What the- Oh." She barely managed to say before bullets started spraying around her everywhere, she threw herself on the ground, holding the fire extinguisher in hand and now frantically searching for the scissors she had dropped on the ground earlier. As bullets whizzed and scrapped all around her, she reached over for the scissors and hastily broke it in two, taking one of the separated blades and quickly stuffing it inside the extinguisher's hozzle. She stopped for a moment, letting out a loud yelp of pain as one of the bullets hit her right in the side, spraying her blood down on the floor, she retched some, almost puking out of the cheer pain and sight of her own blood. But she kept going.

"Fine then you crazy bitch..." She muttered under her breath. "You want to have a shoot-off, i'll give you a shoot-off...Wait, no, I think the word's shoot-out...Is it? GAH! Not important!" She spoke, shaking her head slightly before she went back into whatever cover she managed to find, spotting Clarissa, she would aim the extinguisher in her direction and then fire it up, shooting the scissor blade that had been sticked down on it. One way or another, after shooting with the extinguisher and keeping it up for a bit, she would actually activate her invisibilty and charge towards Clarissa, taking out the other side of the scissor she had kept and attempting to stab the opponent repeatedly, this time following her angel's advice and aiming for the upper part of the chest.

[Oliverskx]

(OOC: Couldn't really figure out a good outro post for Clarissa. There wouldn't be much to post anyway since she's dead so we'll just assumne she fell to the ground dead and killed by Sachiko okay? )

Luci Ferno

She kept her hounds at her side. She knew men who lied through their teeth. He wasn't out of the clear just yet. He was older, she could probably outrun him. "Fine....A truce for now. But I can't guarantee later."

She turned, and as she did, the flaming hounds vanished in puffs of smoke. Joe was down the hall and so she hurried after him. The stairwell was empty and so was the first floor of the office building it was as if the black creatures hadn't been there to attack them at all. "So...she began before heading towards the door. "If we're not going to fight each other then how do we get points?"

They didn't even know if there were other players to kill. Luci wasn't sure if she could kill, even if it was for the sake of her brother.


Amos

The reaper smiled as his comrades brought the Mammon to justice. It's head decapitated and it's body was mutilated. Normally Mammons didn't go down this easily, but this one seemed to take only two strikes from these reapers. It sprayed a blast of black liquid before it's fat lump fell and disintegrated into the atmosphere. All was well again- at least for now. "It seems as if that did the trick." said Amos.

A twist of his arm and his scythe disappeared with a flash of bluish light. "You two seem much stronger than you look." he smiled at the two reapers and performed a hair flip as usual.

Wow go going guys! It looks like getting up close to it did the trick! went Nanicci. Her tone was less happy. It seemed a bit worried if anything. Amos noticed this almost immediately.

"What's wrong Nanicci? No pep in your step as usual?" Amos asked through headset.

Huh? Oh sir! No sir! It's just that... Well. The Mammon may have been the least of your problems if this data is correct.

"Oh goody. We must have more work to do then."

Gabriel will assign you all-

"No need Nanicci I'm here now," said Gabriel striding toward them. "Johann, Fagelein, you two are going to investigate a disturbance in Bradbury park. Something black and gaping has appeared in the ground there. Find what it is and stop it."

"Amos, this is yours." Gabriel pointed to what looked like a baby reaper in the making. "You two are to head out and investigate the same phenomenon which has occurred at the train station."

"Pulling me away from my favorite Faggy Waggy to babysit some kid? I'm beginning to question your leadership" he sighed before turning on his heel. "Hurry up kid."

The new reaper speechlessly followed. He could hear Gabriel talking into his headset before the small reaper disappeared.

"Likewise," replied Joe. "As for how we are going to get points, there are four players still left."
"And a reaper I suppose" his thoughts added.
It looked like Clarrisa had fallen. Well, so much for having her as his rival. He was sure he wouldn't feel as bad killing her over any other player.
"We'll just have to kill them before the day is over. It really shouldn't be all that hard. I use my powers to render them helpless while you finish them off with you hell hounds. Finding them is going to be the problem."
Joe walked out the door back into the sunlight. He covered his eyes for a moment as they reajusted to the brightness. He sighed as he looked up into the apocalyptic sky. It was as if he finally registered all the tragedies that had happened. Being taken to an alternate dimension, witnessing the deaths of three people, having his family threatened. The overall feeling of helplessness.
"What's the point. Even if I do kill a player, They'll just come up with some other leverage."
It was after Joe stood in place for a solid minute before he realized he had lost himself in thought.
He slapped himself to get himself back into reality.
"That's right, we don't have all day," he mumbled to himself before heading down the street. Hopefully he'd find someone this direction.

[LiquidCyanide]

The battle was over, and nothing to Fagelein could be more rewarding than to see Amos being replaced with someone else. "Aww, I'll miss you too Amos." Knowing he couldn't hold his suspicious smile, he quickly turned and let his face muscles loose. He smiled like a child who just witness his enemies get a beating from the teachers.
Fagelein looked down the lifeless path towards where him and Johann are suppose to go."Now, Bradburry Park ey? Not sure why but I'm feeling pumped for this one." Fagelein looks up to the sky as he cheers on himself. "What are you waiting for big guy? Lets go lets go lets go!" Fagelein leaped along the path as he realizes that the others might think he's a psychopathic. He then walked straight and his stern face was back again, trying to at least keep part of his cool.

[John Lau]

The fight had ended much sooner that Johann had anticipated as the Mammon was weaker that he had initially thought. As the fat beast disintegrated into nothingness, Johann felt slightly disappointed. That battle was unsatisfying. It felt like the cause of the death of a little over half of their numbers were eliminated just like that, like there deaths were a lie. Johann shook this thought off as his nerves settle down from the tension of battle, telling himself that he did not expect a dramatic ending anyway.

Soon after the job was over, another task is given. This time to investigate a disturbance at Bradbury Park. Apparently something black and gaping had appeared there, or so they were told by Gabriel. This time Johann's partner will be Faggy Waggy and Amos, his previous partner, his previous partner ends up with the new guy. The two did not seem to be so happy about their separation in Johann'seye seem to have a good relationship. (Could it be that those two were in "that" sort of relationship? No, it's best not to dig too far, it is none of my business anyway.)

Despite being separated with his dear partner, Faggy Waggy seems to be pumped up for the next job. It makes Johann a little envious for him being the guy who loves his job. "I'll be right behind you." Johann replied as Faggy Waggy urged him along. As the two make their way towards Bradbury Park, Johann contacts Nanicci, remembering what she mentioned earlier.
"Nanicci, you there? You were talking about the mammon being the least of our trouble before. If this next thing is as much trouble as you said it would be, I would like as much information on it as possible." He then added. "And, umm, sorry for yelling at you before. I was panicking a little at the time." He apologized as he felt guilty about it after the mess had settled down.

[Nicsp]

(OOC: Well, that's a bit anti-climatic o3o But okay then.)

Sachiko slowly got up off from Clarissa's now irrecognizable figure, she had gotten blood all over herself and the corpse, some still splurting out of the several holes that were now open on Clarissa, mixing up with the blood oozing out of the scrapes of the pistol on Sachiko, she slowly got herself standing once more, one hand on the wound on her side as the other hand shakily still held the scissors she had grabbed earlier.

"...Shit..."

She muttered under her breath before she staggered backwards a bit. "I...I just killed someone.." She said to herself. "B-B-But...I had to...Otherwise my brother..." She kept mumbling, trying to justify her acts to herself before something else caught her attention, with her bloodied hands, she took out her angel phone and browsed it, noticing she had a new skill available to her. "Twin...Blades?" She questioned out loudly before she then held her hands ahead and activated the ability. A pair of red blades materialized itself by her hands and she promptly grabbed them, swinging them both around a bit as she tested out it's weight and such. "...At least now I have a weapon." She thought to herself before making those blades disappear. It's not like she had any experience with swordfighting, but at least now she could have something to defend herself with, whatever happened.

But more importantly! She couldn't stay in this damn hospital forever, she needed to get out and...*Gulp*...Get more points. She glanced outside, noticing that the sun now bathed the streets once more...She had barely gotten any time to rest so she was, admittedly, quite sleepy. On the bright side, however, due to her usual schedules back at home usually ending up with her passing out in front of the computer in the early hours of morning she was a bit used to this feeling by now...Still...A short nap wouldn't hurt...And everything else in that hospital was dead or gone by now...Probably...After all, she hadn't seen that big gray tonguy-swingy thing in a while too.

Sachiko let out a short sigh of relief, she then slowly dropped herself against a wall and closed her eyes, trying to at least rest for an hour or two. The bloodied clothes, as well as the wound on her side, coupled with her ever tired and pale face, gave her a quite dead look.

[Oliverskx]

Damien Peers

"You can kill a reaper, it's just harder than killing a player."

"Oh dear, but what about after they're dead? Do they bleed much? I'd hate to soil my clothes."

"Nothing but a clean kill if you go for decapitation. It's the easiest way. Find something sharp, catch them off-guard and they're out before they even know what hit em."

This Fae woman asked a lot of questions already. Once she'd learned of his plan she wouldn't stop. "Is that how you got your powers?" she asked.

Damien walked on ahead of her along the rubbled sidewalk. "I got a total of six already. It seems like enough but." He gazed at Gods Tower looming in the distance."I can't just do it alone. I need the rest of you to at least help me weaken him. God's more powerful than even the head reaper."

Fae walked alongside him with a curious expression on her face. They walked five minutes in silence while she thought. "And how do you know all this? If you're wrong we'd all be killed and there wont be a winner."

"I have a reliable source." He said calmly.

He wasn't sure how reliable his old friend's information was. He wasn't sure if he could still be trusted after so many years apart. Yet, Damien was willing to make the sacrifice. He'd come so far already; he'd killed a total of 5 reapers already and severely shortened their numbers. Even that was covered up with the blame going to the Mammon creature that had somehow appeared. He'd have to attack God's tower even if it killed him. There was no going back.


Romeo

They hadn't even gone 5 blocks without Amos playing around with him. "Yo, knock it off!"

"Aw, but I'm you're Juliet. Don't tell you don't like me." Amos teased with a flip of his hair and a wink of his eye.

Romeo was both disgusted and annoyed. This old jokester was who he was paired with? "The little albino kid has to be screwing with me." he mumbled.

"Oh looky there." Called Amos.

They had arrived at the train station where the remains of Marcus still lay on the train platform. Some of the platform looked the same, the tracks the train. The rest had fallen in what could only be described as a circular black pit. "What the hell is that?" Romeo asked peeking inside.

Inside the pit a bubbling black liquid seemed to swirl closer to the top with each passing second. "A black goo. Nanicci have you got any ideas?"

I'm searching sir. As for now I have no clue sir! I've only studied up on the creatures and habitats of the Afterlife games sir. This looks like something troubling sir. I'd advise being careful sir.

Romeo could feel the ground around the train station trembling. "Yo lets get out of here."

Amos grabbed a hold of his arm so that he couldn't leave. "Naughty reaper babe. You can't abandon your Juliet love. Especially not when a battle's about to begin."

Romeo was too stunned to reply. In the midst of all the quaking and shaking around the black crater Amos wore a malevolent smile. It was a smirk that sent shivers down his spine for the first time of his being a reaper. He didn't know if it was excitement or pure lust.


Fae Cantigre

There was finally hope at last. There was a chance she could go home and change out of these soiled clothes. Never in her life had she been forced to deal with such filth until this day. Being forced into a game of life and death only made the situation more inconvenient. Fae had finally decided that should would try to get out too. She would do whatever it took to get back into that warm comfy bed of hers after a nice scolding shower. If she had to soil her already ruined dress with the blood of God in order to achieve that, well so be it.

"Oh my stop walking. I think I see someone!"

She did. It was a man. Behind him was a girl. "We could use their help too right?"

"We could use all the help we can get." said Damien who hovered weightlessly beside her.

"Hey!" she called out. "Hey! You two!"

From the looks of them it was that older Joe man and that ditsy looking Luci girl. The girl ran toward them friendly seeming. "Oh hi! Oh dear we need to talk to-wait!"

The girl ran close enough to her so that she could see clearly. There was determination in her eyes. There were flaming mutts at her feet. The LAST thing Fae needed was a singed dress. Her garment had suffered enough. "I'm sorry but you two will have to die."

Before she could retaliate with her metal limbs Damien stomped down on the earth, and from the crackled street rose a wall of pure rock and ground. The hounds were thrown into the air and Luci staggered back a bit. "You don't have to fight. Just ignore the phone message there's another way." said Damien in a voice cool as ice.

"Like, what?"

Damien took the time to tell them everything he had told Fae earlier. He waited for Joe and Luci's reaction to his plan.


<Nannicci: Oh yes Johann I'm here sir! And I accept your apology sir! I'm searching for it as much as I can sir. All I can find in the Afterlife database isn't helping sir. I'm just hoping it's not a Gate sir. I'll tell you when I've got more info sir.>


<Maru: Tee-Hee master congrats on being one of the last six alive! The afterlife games is almost halfway over! tee-hee! Now all you have to do is get 20 more points! If you killed the three here you'll have about sixty! Yay Master! Tee-hee!>


<Cora: Good going. Now you can kill the rest. You have a message from a 'Fae' girl. I'll read it.

Oh, is this thing working? Oh dear um miss Sachiko, If you're still alive I wanted to meet with you. I found a way that can get us all out of the games without having to fight. You can join us East of the Hospital district and a little West to the slums. Please respond if you're interested in leaving this place for safety.

If I were you I'd go and kill her myself. More blood little girl! That's what it takes to survive!>

[John Lau]

The object in question was not in the database, that fact made Johann reluctant to approach it. Even so, they could not just leave it.
"We'll have to find out for ourselves when we get there." was Johann's reply to Nanicci's concern on it being a gate.

Never had Johann had to move around so much within a single game and would usually need only to take charge of one area or another. This made him wish he had some sort of flight ability like his late partner, though he could have done it if it weren't for a personal issue. The psychokinesis is an ability that is able to "grab" onto just about anything with it's strength limited by how strong of an image one can generate in his mind so it is possible to be able to "grab" oneself and levitate. Johann's issue was that he have a fear of height. This weakness causes him to have trouble lifting himself, releasing his "grip" almost the instant his feet left the ground. Releasing a considerably long sigh, Johann took in to account on the distance left to travel till his next destination while following the cheerful Faggy Waggy's lead.

[LiquidCyanide]

Fagelein's pump for the job gradually decreases as the lifeless road seemed never-ending. He would have just accelerated himself there within a minute but leaving Johann behind doesn't seem like a good idea. Somehow Fagelein had alot of respect towards Johann, he felt that Johann is wise, swift-minded, somehow understanding and would never think bad about him in any way.

The whole loathsome walk started to lighten up as the two of them approaches the bridge that connects to the park. He was pondering about when Johann's significant sigh caught his attention.
"Tiring isn't it? We'll get there soon enough." He tried to give a little cheer to the party as the whole journey was somewhat boring. He then proceeds to start a conversation with Johann "Come to think about it, we've never really introduce ourselves have we?" Fagelein's eyebrows raised with a friendly grin on his face. "I'm Fagelein, Fagelein Auzander. But you could call me Faux for short, it's what I go by when playing online games... Oh,one more thing, just don't call me Faggy Waggy Poo Poo or anything close." Once again reminding himself that Amos is no longer around makes Fagelein feel happy to be alive.

[Ryuga]

Joe weighed his options. Here he was facing off against two players, one who had a bunch of powers not listed on his phone. Trying to fight might just screw him over. At the same time, he was not convinced that the group could attempt to kill God at all. So it was likely die now trying to get points, or rebel and likely die anyways. And there did not seem to be a much better time to try and take out God. The Reaper force had been crippled, not to mention occupied by otherworldly forces. Who knows when such a chance could arise in the afterlife?
"Looks like things are working out the way you wanted Luci," he remarked before stepping forward. "The saying goes "when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.' And I really doubt this is some elaborate trap on your part. Sure, I'll join your cause."

[Nicsp]

Sachiko drowsily opened her eyes once more and then went to grab her angel phone, seeing Cora's message, she let out a sigh, fixing her own posture against the wall as she tried to get herself moving. Her tired green globes scanned around the message and then, after a moment of thinking, Sachiko started talking to herself. "...Fae? Isn't that the girl that had found me at the Slums earlier? She's still alive then...That's weird though...Why would she ask for MY help, especially since I said I would go get the food for her and that other guy, but never actually came ba- THE FOOD!" She facepalmed lightly, she had completely forgotten about the sack of food, she probably had dropped it earlier when she had to start running away from Clarissa. Sachiko managed herself up, keeping one hand on the wound on her side while the other one was putting away the angel phone for now.

She went in search of the sack of food and would try and bring it alongside with her before she went where Fae was telling her to. Regardless of what Fae's intentions were, the sack of food could prove to be a useful bargain tool, not that she particularly needed to bargain anymore now, seeing as she had taken Clarissa's place as the game's MVP for now.

[Oliverskx]

Gabriel

"This was not how it's supposed to be."

Sir! Gabriel sir! I've found it. The two dark things. They're gates sir!

"Gates to what exactly?" said Gabriel rushing on foot.

He'd exhausted his ability to move like smoke. The reaper head had never traveled this much through the city before. Gate's to Hell. replied Nanicci's voice. He broadcast should have been heard on all networked headsets. It looks like something's opened them from the other side!

"What does The Almighty say to do to this?"

The Almighty is busy sir! The Almighty doesn't have time to focus on just one Afterlife game sir!

As much as he wanted to, Gabriel could not shout curses just yet. He had matters to attend to at the moment. "You there!"

He had finally spotted Damien with a few other players standing around. He stopped in front of the tall man in black and reached in his own cloak for a paper. He then held it out and looked up at the player Damien. "If you're sure you want to actually go through with this now is the time." he was almost out of breath.

Damein grabbed the piece of paper. "I'm sure this is what I want to do."

"Once you face The Almighty there is no going back." Gabriel warned. "You in particular might find it difficult-"

"I've got it Alex. Thank you."

Gabriel's eyes tensed. "That's not my name anymore. I've risen to the rank of Gabriel and I am to be addressed as such."

The little boy's pale eyes were serious. He looked at the rest of the players. He didn't know if they would live or die. "If you all fail, your loved one will get sent to hell. A reaper's promise is a binding contract."

Sir! Amos and Romeo Are dealing with a Satan and a Beezlebub!

"Two more of the princes. I'm on it."

Gabriel left the group sprinting towards the train station as fast as his little legs could carry him. Sir! Johann and Fagelein are facing two more creatures! A Leviathan and- oh dear yes it's Belphegor.

"What is this an attack on Afterlife? Are the demons of Hell waging war on us?"

Oh I hope not sir! They might be trying to attack God's Tower! We have to defeat them if The Almighty falls into the wrong hands-

"Hush I'm on it." Gabriel commanded.

He had not told the other reapers of his betrayal of allowing an attack on God's Tower. He had no intention of slipping up now.


Stella

She had been watching from a distance. Stella was wise to cover her tracks and her subtle sounds. She was like a black raven at night. An angry black raven who was out to kill anyone. She had already lost her beloved older brother. It'd been nearly half a day and the emotional wound was deep and rotting. She saw the brutality of the girl she stalked. The way a simple school girl, who was only a few years younger than herself had repeatedly stabbed another woman to death. The brutality within this game was relentless.

She often wondered if she could do something like that. Despite their military background Stella had not been quite as tough as her deceased older brother or her adventurous younger sister. If she wanted to she could burn this girl to a crisp with flames as hot as the sun. That was how she defended herself from the black creatures. That was how she provided herself with warm water to bathe in and a cozy fire to cuddle in. She was refreshed now and ready to make her first kill.

Miss Stella have you adapted to sound? You should be completely sure before you make the first kill. her angel warned. Stella nodded and pocketed her phone.

Being deaf her whole life, hearing sound was something new and exciting to experience in Citadel city. Now she was almost certain that she had gotten the basics. She knew how to move in silence; she had practiced on her way to kill as a result of the message. She held her hands out, knowing how powerful her flames were. If this Sachiko had invisibility, she would be a danger, but if she were on fire, not even invisibility could put out the bright blaze or the dark smoke. She'd be as visible as a Christmas tree at night.

She crept slowly to another corner, spying a safe distance away. Sachiko Hayashi was her unsuspecting prey.


Romeo

"Yo do you see this?" Romeo's eyes were wide open as he staggered back from the black circular thing in the ground.

"See this? I smell it." Amos flipped his hair

Large creatures had burst through it and stood tall. One was ghostly, with a cloak and scythe of a reaper. Yet it was not friendly and it's bony skeletal frame could be seen reaching out towards them. The other creature took the form of a flying insect. It buzzed threateningly.

"Isn't this exciting little reaper?" Amos called out beside him summoning his scythe. "It's been a while since I've seen Satan and Beezlebub. How are you lovelies doing?"

The creature known as Satan lunged forward with it's scythe in hand. "I've got the buggy." said Amos as he took off to the sky to duel with the large bug creature.

Romeo summoned his scythe. It materialized in his hands as small as a dagger. "I wonder if all reapers have this kind of luck." Satan spun and glided towards him. Romeo jumped and dodged the repeated strikes of it's scythe.

Be careful. Try to find a weak spot on the creatures. Some of them may be more powerful than others. Nanicci rang through everyone's headset.


Luci Ferno

Damien opened the piece of paper the head reaper had given him. Luci didn't know if this was real or just a game. "Are you sure you can trust them?" she whispered just low enough for Joe to hear.

So far he was the only one in the game who had helped her. It would be a shame to see him fall into a trap. Then again the chance of freedom was something she admired. If there was a way for them all to get out alive she would prefer that way. She wished the small girl she had met earlier was still alive at this point. Just the thought of how many this game had taken was enough to convince herself to give in.

"So, what's the plan then?" she asked the tall man in black.

After a moment of silence her responded. "Well it might not be as easy as I thought. apparently there's an angel we must fight at the tower entrance who's fairly weak enough. Then there's a powerful guardian waiting atop the tower, and lastly there's a throne where this 'Almighty' sits right behind it. We should head out quick while there's a distraction. it looks like the reapers are busy with something."

The man named Damien began to head off. "wait!" Luci called. "How do we know we can trust that little reaper, like, he was the one who, like, got us here in the first place."

"We both entered the Afterlife games together a while ago. You could say he owes me a favor. Lets get moving we should discuss a battle plan. Who's willing to take on the guardian out front?"

The middle bridge stretched wide, and the tall black tower standing on it's tiny island gave her shivers. "Oh my, I'll volunteer." Fae said as the group walked on. "And I've messaged another young lady to come help me so the rest of you could go up. Us two will take out that thing easily. I believe that young lady already killed Clarissa."

"Right." said Damien, "So then Luci, Joe and I could take out the guardian quickly. And then move on to the big man himself."

The plan made Luci's skin crawl and for some reason her angel phone kept edging her on to continue the competition. As if the angel wanted her to keep killing. "Alrighty then. We can do this for our freedom from this hell hole." Luci said. "But how's Joe going to fight?"

"Ah. Here." Damien spoke into his phone. "It wouldn't be against the rules if I gave Joe 19 of my own points would it? Do it."

Before his angel phone could respond the transaction was done. "We need all the muscle we can get. If I had more points I would have upgraded all of you..." he said.

It was freeing to know that she'd soon be back in LA relaxing at beaches once more with friends if this plan was successful. "Is everyone ready?" Damien asked.

[Ryuga]

Joe looked back at his angel phone to confirm the point transfer. He held up his hand into the air activating his new skill; a blade of energy materializing in hand. He gave it a swing to test the weight and balance, finding it unnaturally light. Pleased with the result, he let it disapear before turning back to Damien.
"Yeah, I'm as ready as I'll ever be," he replied. "So do you have a strategy in mind? I doubt we want walk right up to God's face by simply winging it. Like, how are we going to kill that angel while keeping any threats to ourselves at a minimum?"

[John Lau]

"So it's a gate after all." said Johann as he approaches the said gate after the transmission from Nannici. Never in his days as a Reaper had Johann seen anything like this. It felt like something big was about to happen. He stares into the pit of darkness as he thought that.

Still staring down into the pit of darkness that is " the gate" Johann decided to take some action instead of just hanging around. Sending out a transmission, he asked:"Nannici, any idea how we can close this thing?" But before he could get a reply, two objects came crawling out of the pit of darkness. Johann recognized them as two of the princes of hell, Leviathan and Belphegor. Immediately, he grabbed onto Faggy Wa-Fagelein and used point jump to teleport both Fagelein and himself away from the two demons as far as he could. Materializing his scythe into his right hand, Johann turns to his partner.
"I think now would be a good time for a plan."

[LiquidCyanide]

There was an unwanted welcoming ceremony as the two of them arrived at the park. The two feinds of hell were just chilling there, waiting to strike their prey. Hearing what Johann was saying over the transmission, Fagelein knew they were on a downside again, knowing nothing about the enemy. On a bright side though, Johann teleported them away before the creatures noticed them.

The sittuation doesn't look like it could get any worse - a giant snake and what seems to be satan, Johann's pleas for a plan couldn't come at a better time. Fagelein have a sneak peak at them once again and started planing. "I think this may work." He spoke confidently as he did further culculations in his head. "Now look, its too long to repeat twice. I will waltz right in and lure them near me, I can only time freeze once so I have to get them both at once. As soon as I freeze them, you should start attacking the snake. The whole body is to long for my skill range so the body would be availiable, you could also throw in some rocks, it would freeze at first but it would continue flying once the time reverts. I will attack Balphegor while you're at it, he seems easier for someone my strenght to fight against. The whole thing sounds risky but its worth a try." He took a deep breath as he then added. "And just in case we need a plan B, kill it before it kills you." Sarcasm intended.

[Nicsp]

The young school girl by the name of Sachiko continued to wander around the desolate streets of this forsaken city, completely oblivious to the presence that was following her, the pain that continually stinged her from her side didn't allow her much time to focus on things properly. Then again, the pain was slowly diminishing. Maybe it was getting better...? No, unlikely...She was probably just getting used to the pain by now, she pulled her bloodied hand away from the wound to stare at it for a bit. She had heard that the human being can learn how to get used to practically anything, flexible and adaptive creature that it was. Could that mean that she could get used to this...? Not the pain, but this place? These dangers?

Regardless, it wasn't the place to be having philosophical thoughts right now. She needed to hurry up to the place where Fae had organized a meeting and that's exactly where she went. Just then it occured her, she never really answered back the message itself, even though she had decided she'd go and check out. She'd continue walking but would then start sending a message through her phone.

"I'm alive and willing to listen to what you have to say. I'll be at the location you mentioned within the hour, probably, unless something or someone stops me.

P.S. I still have the food."

Gabriel

"Nanicci!"

I know! I KNOW! I cant fix everything at once sir. I'm sorry sir but I'm pulling up and researching all of the files on Hell I can sir! Just pray that the others can stay alive for now sir.

He reconsidered his request. She was doing all she could at the moment. The large insect beast and another with a scythe loomed ahead. He could see Amos and the new reaper fighting both creatures off as much as they could. And it looked like his reapers were fighting back easily. He wondered if he should have went to check on Fagelein and Johann. "What are these gates?" He summoned his own blade out of thin air above him.

He jumped up and swung at Beezlebub, dispatching it upon it's beheading. "Oh sir. I was rather enjoying that. Are you sure you want us to make such quick work of these creatures?"

"Just destroy them." he replied.

The new reaper was doing well. One after another both Satan and Romeo dodged and weaved, throwing attacks back and forth, volleying. It was mildly entertaining. "Aim for the head." he called going after the Satan creature.

Yet before the new reaper could afflict damage Amos tore through the sky like lightning decapitating the creature in one swift move. "Sorry little one I couldn't resist." Amos' smile was wider than normal. He seemed to enjoy fighting the creatures.

"Damn. What the hell were those things?" Romeo gasped.

"One of the seven-"

"That's not important to you right now." Amos chuckled.

It caught him off guard when a scythe tore through his torso. "What is the meaning of this?" He growled.

"Yo what are you doing?" Romeo yelled.

"You should be worried about other things baby reaper." smiled Amos as he tugged his scythe from Gabriel's body. "Begone before you get the same treatment."

Gabriel could feel a large hole torn through his torso. He collapsed to the ground and his vision had gone blurry but he could hear the footsteps of Amos echoing towards the gate and towards the dead fiends. "Hopefully the sacrifice of my brothers won't be in vain." his voice had lost it's teasing tone in place of a more serious one.

Gabriel could feel his body go limp.


Lucy Ferno

"Joe's right. We don't have much of a strategy. We can't just force ourselves inside. There's got to be a better way." said Luci.

Damien frowned for a minute before fixing himself. Dude like don't you wanna win the games? You can't win if everyone's working together. her angel protested.

For some reason her angel had been highly against their ideals. But there was a peaceful way to end this. "If all else fails I have a last resort." she heard Damien say. "But I'll need all the strength I can get. You two will just have to do your best in taking out the angel. I'll handle God myself. As for strategy I'll take the element of surprise any day."

He waved his hands over the rocky ground where four large slabs of earth broke. The pieces were wide enough for one to step on and they floated well above the ground. "We'll burst in through the ceiling then. After that it's just pure luck. I'm counting on you two to back me up." Said Damien as he stood atop one of the floating pieces of rock.

The rock carried him up higher and higher towards the large tower they were about to siege. "We can do this right?" she forced a smile at Joe before standing on one of the rock surfaces herself.

It carried her higher immediately after Damien. This was it. She'd rather die fighting for her life than to die in some slaughter competition.


Romeo Willis

He'd been running for a while. It was odd but after becoming a reaper his body moved much more freely than he'd thought. What had scared him was the picture of Amos. The traitorous strike that had come to the head reaper. He had no time to think. For one he had become a reaper so that he would not die. Falling at the hands of a rogue reaper would be pointless. "Dammit!"

He wished he at least had his angel phone Karen to ask advice. The phone had been dead ever since he became a reaper. "Oh hey!"

He heard a familiar voice and paused his running to look around for a bit. Only three blocks away did he spot Fae Cantigre calling to their old friend. The large eyed girl who had not hesitated to kill Clarissa. "Oh dear! I was beginning to think you wouldn't show! Are you going to share food Sachiko? I'm terribly hungry, but the others went ahead."

"Yo don't get too close to her." he said as he got closer to the two. "She's the one who ditched us before."

"Oh my, you're not bleeding anymore. Aren't you the one who ditched me to become a reaper?"

"I just figured I wouldn't be any good in the real world anymore." Romeo replied "That girl however left us without the food and murdered that bitchy chick from earlier. There's no way she can be trusted."

"But there's a way for everyone to return to life."

Fae told them both of the plan. How the others were off to attacking God's Tower as they spoke. How they would attempt to replace god and return everyone back to life. Romeo had heard her plan and felt a bit intrigued. "Sounds like you all got some balls challenging that one, from what I've heard God's not the most merciful one around these parts." he said.

He didn't know what he would do. Should he try to rejoin the reapers? He felt less threatened when standing beside two human

<Nanicci:Look out you two Leviathan's coming in for a tail wack! And don't underestimate Belphegor! It's a really fast demon and it will try to devour you. It looks like it's running towards you Johann. Good luck sirs! <3>

[John Lau]

The two demons made their move as Johann and Fagelein plan their course of action.

"Looks like they're not going to let us take our time.
Johann uses point jump again, teleporting both Fagelein and himself to avoid the tail whip and adding some distance between Belphegor and the two. Johann without taking his attention away form the two princes spoke to Fagelein.

"I'll try to get those two as close together as possible, do your thing once they are in your skill range."

Once he was done talking, he dashed towards Belphegor with assist from his PK as he "grabbed" every single part of his own body. Imagining that he was moving a puppet, Johann moved in an incredible speed and quickly closing up the distance between him and the Prince of Sloth. Once he is close enough, Johann stomps his right foot into the ground in front of him and turned side ways as he prepare to swing his scythe. Johann swung horizontally from the left to the right at the man eating demon using the momentum of his dash. While it would certainly be nice to kill it with this, Johann did not believe that something as fast as Belphegor is unable to avoid such a direct attack. To him, it did not mattered if the attack landed or not, what mattered is getting the demon's attention. Right after Johann launched his attack, he immediately turns towards the direction of the other prince and went into another high speed dash. As he turns he could feel some pressure in his organs as if flattening them and let out some air through his mouth. Taking a sharp turn right after the high speed dash was not a good idea to begin with but with Belphegor's speed, a counter attack was possible so there was no way Johann could afford to stop now.

(I've done what I can, let's just hope it works out.)

The whole plan seemed like it would take a while to work. Balphegor is after Johann and the two of the monsters are rather far apart. Fagelein accelerated in and strike the leviathan first, trying to derive its attention from Johann. Its swift movements made it hard for Fagelein to focus on luring it. Johann on the other hand is also trying to draw the both of them closer.

Seeing how it might be long to actually get them close, Fagelein had another idea. He ran under the Leviathan's head and jump as high as he could to time freeze it. He then hops on its neck and stabbed right in it as deep as he could, counting down till the time freeze ends. And as soon as it did, he once again accelerated himself down the leviathan's body, with his glaive of course. Surely the Leviathan didn't just stood there and let Fagelein cut him in half, the pain caused it to flinch heavily, tossing Fagelein away from it's body.

The cut really aggravated it and now it's looking forward to swallow Fagelein alive. With its attention, Fagelein quickly lure it to Johann to execute their original plan. "Heads up buddy, here she comes."

[Ryuga]

"That's it?! thought Joe. It took his entire force of will to keep in jaw from hanging open. "Are you serious?!
This was by far the worst plan he had ever heard in his life. Actually, scratch that, There was no plan. Joe thought about simply backing out and walking away, until Luci spoke to him.
"We can do this right?" she said, clearly forcing a smile. Joe was entranced by the look. There was Luci, clearly worried about the outcome of this battle, and yet she put on a brave front. Joe could not betray her now.
Sighing, he pulled out his angel phone messaging Fae before stepping onto his own rock which carried him right after Luci
"Better hury up there. Damien's already getting the party started."
