Sachiko stared blankly at Fae as she spoke, Romeo soon joined in as well and started spouting a few words, apparently he was a reaper now. Well, at least this much was enough to prove that this Romeo fellow wasn't the devil that she had heard about earlier...Then again, this was a wild guess...Could a Devil turn itself into a Reaper for the sake of keeping it's disguise?

The Fae girl wasn't completely in the clear, either, despite agreeing to come, Sachiko was ready for possible dangerous outcomes. She did seem honest enough on the "hungry" part though. Sachiko let out a short 'hum' once they were both done talking. The girl that was shy and reclusive at the beggining of these games now spoke with a more confident, if rash voice. "Here, have it." She stated, hurling the bag with what was left of that food to Fae. She had already eaten her share and wasn't really in the mood to eat just yet.

She glanced over to Romeo. "I'm guessing you don't need food anymore, right?" She wondered out loud before she turned back to Fae. "That plan sounds...Stupid. I don't know how strong "God" is but I doubt a bunch of people who were originally put in a game to kill each other BY him even stand a chance...In all due honesty, my chances of survival are probably greater if I just went with the original idea of murdering everyone." She stated, but then sighed. "...Then again...If what that Clarissa was saying was true..." Sachiko glanced down at the floor, in thought for a few minutes. "I'll go with it...For now. Where are we headed?"

Fae Cantigre

"Oh Dear! We can't just stand around talking. We must hurry! Joe says it's starting." said Fae putting away her phone.

"Right. We'll follow." said Romeo. "Don't start any funny business you."

"Leave her alone! I'll show you it's this way-" Fae began to head into the direction of the island of God's tower before she heard a loud cracking sound. She looked up to see pieces of the tower raining down, with dust rising into the red sky. "There!"

Fae nibbled on what was left of the food Sachiko gave her on the way. She could feel her strength returning. She was too excited to stop. She led them all the way to the bridge passing right over the small island where God's Tower stood. Her dress was caked with dirt and sweat and smudges, but she didn't notice or care as she usually would have. "The angel we have to kill should be somewhere around here- Watch out!"

The metal blades of her arms burst through the shreds of her sleeves once more as she shielded herself from an oncoming flame. A girl with dark hair walked slowly towards them shooting flames from the outside of her palms. Romeo seemed to have shot up towards the sky. "Who on earth?"

*Sigh* Are you serious Miss Fae. The Datalog clearly has this girl's Bio-

"Hush Rubbard! It doesn't matter. She could be a helper. Hey, could you please come and help us with a task?"

The girl said nothing and her eyes were trained on Sachiko. Fae could hear a faint voice coming from the attacking girl's phone. If she were mistaken it said "Miss Stella would like to eliminate you all from the competition now."

Fae reached out with a metal arm saying "Please stop it doesn't need to be violent." She did not see the rather large statue like figure falling from the sky. It took about five seconds for Fae to look up from shielding herself before she could see the giant figure land directly on top of the attacking girl whose flames went out on impact. It's feet snapped the girl's neck first, before crushing her skull into her rib cage and finally flattening her flesh and bone with it's feet.

The Angel was massive in size. A giant golum that stood at least fifty feet tall in stature with feet as big as cars. Fae fell backwards upon taking in it's awesome size. "Yo, off the bridge!" she heard Romeo shout.

<BATTLETHEME(Feel free to link your own battle themes ^^)>

She didn't hear the snapping of the bridge cables but as soon as she realized it, it was too late; the bridge crumbled in half before the giant's weight and she was hurling onto the small island directly below. She fell on her metal limbs before rolling close to the tower entrance. The giant angel had fallen onto the island as well. Here was where she had to make her stand. Where she and Sachiko would have to make a stand or die trying. "Oh my miss Sachiko. What exactly do you suppose we do?" she said getting up with aching bones.


Nanicci

EMERGENCY EMERGENCY

The red lights blinked on and off all around her station. The various screens surrounding her with views all on Citadel city were going black. "You're going to need to hit much harder than that to decapitate the Leviathan. Try a few more wacks! It looks like Belphagore is surprised from the attack though. Get him while he's stunned! He should be easy to decapitate. And HURRY Sirs!!" she spoke into her mic before it completely shorted out.

"No! Sir Gabriel! Respond please! There's an emergency in the tower! I need your help."

She could already tell it was no use. Screen after screen shut off in the small square room of monitors. Red lights from above flashed on and off. For once this required action. She stumbled out of her booster seat and ran for her scythe. Something had been trying to enter her quarters for a long while. She knew it was trouble. Since she had been assigned her position nobody was allowed to visit her, she was not allowed to leave her room. She was only to monitor the games. Hard heavy thunks rang from her walls.

Nanicci cursed herself. She was no more than 3 when she died and thus has the body of a three year old girl. She wished she could of at least been seven or eight when she had died. A physical fight would be no use. However she did happen to be the oldest reaper in the games at 67 years. Maybe she could use wisdom as a weapon. The floor was littered with books on hell. She had read through them all five times in the past hour. She already knew who would be coming for her. Finally the wall gave in and through a gaping hole stepped Amos. "Sir! Return to your duties! Mister Gabriel will get you if you don't return immediately."

"So this is the darling little Nanicci. With the little blonde pigtails and all. My you're a little baby." he flipped his hair and summoned his scythe. "If you were more attentive towards the screen you'd have known that Mister Gabriel won't be coming back any time soon."

"Dammit. The sirs are all on their own." She stood eyeing the daring reaper. There was no way Gabriel could be dead. If so then that meant he was coming to kill her as well.

"I'd be more concerned about myself if I were you." Amos said with a nasty smile. The red lights gave him a hellish hue.

Nanicci braced herself with her scythe. "Try me, sir."



Damien Peers

He rose fast through the winds. He wasn't sure if his powers were even enough. Hell, he'd be lucky if it actually worked, but it was all he had. Either kill the rest of the players and return to the human world or to end these dreaded games once and for all. There was certainly no turning back now. He gathered all the strength he could muster into one hand and threw it forward once he had reached the tower's top. The was burst open and he leapt from his own enchanted gravel stone which fell ass soon as he landed on the rubble strewn floor of God's Tower.

The air was filled with dust and smoke. If only Joe and Luci were behind him he would have felt much more secure. He walked forward cautious for God's protector, hoping that Gabriel would not have betrayed him. He heard a noise ahead and finally braced himself. The scene before him was a confusing one. The room was tall and wide, with a ceiling that looked endless. A grand silver throne stood directly in the center of the room stained in blood. The body of a humanoid shape had lain face down beneath it and sitting on it now was a female with a wide smirk admiring a glistening silver orb in her right hand.

Damien braced himself. and he could hear Luci's yelp of panic as she landed onto the tower. "What it this?" Damien asked.

He heart sank. A setup? He couldn't make anything of it. "This is what you're after right?" the female upon the throne spoke.

Her tone was cold as ice. Her eyes were white, and her figure was as bony as a skeleton. Her hair was pink, long, tidy. She wore a black cloak and a black blade at her hip. "The man you've killed is there correct?" she asked, turning the silvery orb in her hand. "You were the one's to lay a hand on The Almighty? Butchering him to death while his back was turned?"

"Who's that?" Luci asked. "Did you really kill him that fast?"

"No." said Damien. He was confused. This wasn't what he expected, however the woman stood up, here eyes lazy and focused on the them. "Someone's died but I don't know who this lady is."

"I was The Almighty's protector." She took her blade in hand. It was as thick as his head and longer than his whole body, yet she managed to hold it in one bony hand with ease.

<BATTLETHEME>

"I am the guardian known as Michael." the pink haired woman said as he cold white eyes examined them. She held up the silvery orb. It's vibe was violent and powerful. "But by right of succession I inherit God's Will. In short I am the new Almighty."

"Are you two ready?" Damien asked.

Luci's hell hounds were summoned up from the ground in an instant. "L-Like, R-Ready." her voice trembled in fear.

The woman holding the orb squeezed it until the glowing orb shrank into nothingness. "The almighty's power, it's inside me now." she looked down at the corpse below the throne. "I now see why you're always so burdened. Allow me to finish the Afterlife games with justice by eliminating these fools."

She stepped forward menacingly. "Fools, come let your new god give you a swift death."

Despite Fagelein's harsh attacks, the leviathan still seem as energetic as ever. Blaphagor on the other hand was rather dazzled though, Fagelein saw this as an opportunity to end it quickly. Fagelein tried to lure the gigantic serpent close to Balphegor to execute his plan, as the leviathan was catching up with him, he ghosted through its body and started running in a zig-zag pattern, it didn't took long before he got close to the stunned Balphegor.
The time has come, Fagelein closely observe their movements for the right timing as he felt an adrenaline rush. By the looks of things Johann is ready to strike as well. The leviathan tried for a dive to gobble Fagelein up, but he took this chance to freeze them with his ability. Immediately after he cast his spell, He aimed for Balphegor weather his spell had successfully held them both or not. "Now's your chance to attack the Leviathan! Hurry, my spell doesn't last long!"

A change was felt by Johann in the midst of battle, he felt that the city is now giving off a different ambience that before. He thought to himself that It's probably just his imagination, but is unable shake the feeling of unease.

Giving Fagelein a nod as if saying that he is counting on him when they went pass each other and teleports away with point jump to a safe distance as Fagelein activates his skill like they had planned previously. Right after Fagelein uses his skill, Johann rushed towards Leviathan without regards as to whether it is frozen or not. The uneasiness he had been feeling has made him impatient without him realizing. As Johann charges towards Leviathan, he sent his scythe flying towards the great serpent and then swung his now empty right hand from right to left horizontally. Using his skill, "Summon Death Scythe", a series of scythes similar to the one he was holding appeared in mid-air from right to left in accordance to his right hand. Appearing in mid-air, the 6 scythes did not fall to the ground and instead moved into positions that makes it look like they were ready strike along with Johann in the center. With 6 scythes being held by his PK, Johann dashed with full speed intending to dig his blade into the Leviathan's flesh over and over again till it can no longer move.

[Ryuga]

Joe's attention was diverted by the sound of a booming thud off in the distance. He looked downwards to see some colosus landing on a bridge. If his memory hadn't failed him, that was the direction Fae ran off to. Joe hoped that Fae and the other player had made it out already, otherwise this group of three would have no more backup when facing off against the almighty. Now that he thought about it, it was very likely the almighty had sent that thing to intercept thus elminating said backup. Looked like it would be only the three of them afterall.
Finally making it to the top, Joe saw that everyone was already prepared for battle. The foe was a sickly thing lady with pink hair, who held a sword argueable larger than her whole body.
"Oh jeez..." mummbled Joe as he continued to assess the situation. "She's holding that big-*** sword like it's nothing."
Joe summoned his energy sword while he still had the chance. He would rather have it in hand so that he could defend himself in case this next trick failed to work.
"Well, might as well try it," he thought as he attempted to use his sleep powers on the figure before him, expecting his power to completely fail on God.

[Nicsp]

Sachiko watched with a tired sight as yet another person was killed in these stupid games, she had put a single hand over her face to keep the dust from and overall gore of the scene to get in her face, but quickly lowered it. And then the bridge fell. "G-Gah! Fuck!" Was the only thing that escape Sachiko's mouth before she rolled down alongside with Fae, she glanced up at the humongous creature that towered in front of them, with an annoyed grunt, Sachiko started assesing her options. Despite her now being able to summon blades, she doubted that would be of any help against this thing...Invisibilty wasn't going to help in anything either!

"...Tch..." The schoolgirl let out, simply focusing on trying to keep a safe distance away from that angel for now. She quickly started browsing through her angel phone, searching for something she could use...She then saw her last skill, which she hadn't unlocked yet...To summon a meteor...That would DEFINETLY do the trick! Sachiko turned to Fae. "Give me 12 points...Now. Don't argue, just do it!" Sachiko would demand, still trying to keep a safe distance away from the massive golem.

[Oliverskx]

Luci Ferno

Shivers ran up and down her spine. What was this situation exactly? According to the woman the dead figure on the floor used to be god. And now she was god? God's will? She was confused. The flames of her dogs roared before her and without a word she pointed toward the frail woman with the large weapon. "Attack."

Damien had rushed in head on. A stupid tactic in her opinion, but her hounds backed him up on either side. The woman however seemed completely okay with it and stood there, still. Luci felt a panic just as her hounds lunged for an attack.

It all happened so fast.

Damien disappeared in an instant, causing the woman to react by swinging her large great sword in a circle to shield against an attacking Damien from behind. Luci's wolves were cleaved in two and a great rushing wind erupted from the swords tip sending her flying backward. She lost all sense of gravity as the sheer force of the sword tossed her back with the wind power of a violent gale. She heard cracking noises before smacking into a wall of dirt created by Damien himself in a flash. Any more falling and she would have went out of the hole in the tower. Damien fought the female, who quickly handled her sword as it it were a toothpick. She swung it fast as Damien flew through the air dodging attacks and launching piles of rock at her. Each time she swung a strong gush of wind lashed out to erupt the space among her.

Luci stood against the wall thinking of what she could do to help. Damien showed off his powers, striking with balls of flame and spikes of ice. She couldn't imagine how many reapers he'd murdered to get those powers. Spaces in the tower blasted off with the two locked in combat. Luci could tell by the pale woman's face that she was just toying with him. She needed to help her somehow. "Joe, what do we do?"
she asked summoning a few more hounds. "They're both so powerful. We'd need some sort of strategy."

She couldn't think of any other way. The only plan was to fight.


Romeo Willis

The giant launched it's fists slowly in the air attempting to catch him, but Romeo was too fast. He fired off explosive runes that did little to no help. He zoomed, zipped and dodged his way around the large creature. He drew out rune knives. They hit it, sinking into the spaces between it's armor. However the large creature did not respond with any sort of pain. The creature advanced upon Fae and Sachiko. He was failing at distracting it. With one last attempt he focused his energy in the palm of his hand and erupted a large lazer. It caught the large thing in the back and made it stumble, but that was about it.

"Shit. This thing some kinda freak or somethin?"

He flew to block the creatures path away from Fae when he heard of Sachiko's proposal. He could hear Fae now thinking over the reply. "Oh dear. Um, well I guess if if helps-"

"Stop! No!" He shouted.

He glared at Sachiko. It was an unfriendly look. "She's trying to manipulate you. It's probably what she did to that Clarissa girl. And she abandoned us. You can't trust her."

Fae stood silent. " Dear...How about if you give me 11 points Sachiko? I'd finally have a second ability."

Romeo was proud of his intervention. Somehow it had not felt like he payed Fae back. He would not trust this Sachiko chick for one minute. This girl had the most points. She was dangerous and deadly and Fae was too trusting. He'd have to watch them both.

"Oh my, pardon." Fae uttered as she frantically panicked, rushing to cover behind a slab of rock a few meters away. The giant's foot had cast a large shadow over them and Romeo hadn't realized it until Fae had. It was slowly about to crush himself and Sachiko with the same foot that reeked of the deaf girl's smeared blood and flesh.


Nanicci

It had been decades since she had felt cool wind against her skin. Escaping the tower was easy enough. The disaster she hadn't foreseen was creeping up on all of them and much sooner than she'd wanted. She kept about gliding along the red sky, using psychic energies to carry her atop a blue force field bubble. it was much faster than running on legs that were barely over a foot long. She zoomed through when she heard a quick pitch in her microphone. She thought she had heard Gabriel. Or perhaps Amos had tampered with something in her quarters? The two had destroyed much of the equipment when dueling.

However it wasn't important. She had to warn the other reapers. She had to or else Amos' plan would continue. Bradbury park was coming up and she could see dust rising from the trees. The battle had ravaged the land where the black gate stood. Nanicci released herself from the bubble and landed gently on the ground. She had reached it just in time to see both of the princes of hell hacked easily by Johann's scythes. "Sirs no!" she managed to gasped as the two demons disintegrated into black smoke.

She cursed herself for not seeing it sooner. Belphegor seemed too willingly step within the range of Johann's attack. She saw it with her own eyes. A true prince of hell would give even Gabriel trouble. She should have known it was too easy to be true! He tricked them! All of them had been fooled! There was little to no time before the next phase of Amos' plan would begin. "Sirs! Hurry! HERE!" she waved over to the two reapers. "There's an emergency!"

In truth they were the second and third people in Afterlife to ever know what she looked like.

[Ryuga]

Joe braced himself against the gale as the Almighty swung her sword. He didn't get the brunt of the attack as she seemed more focused on Damien and Luci. Once the wind stopped, he rushed over to Luci to hellp her up. She did hit the wall pretty hard.

"Joe, what do we do? They're both so powerful. We'd need some sort of strategy."

Joe pondered the options before finally replying. "She can cover the front and the back with that 360 maneuver of hers. She can probably kill us with one swipe of her sword. And even if we brought the fight up close, she can just push us back with the wind, so we are forced to fight at long rang anyway. And worst of all, she's immune to my sleep," Joe listed as he attempted to get a grasp on the situation. "The only thing I can think of to open her up is to attack from the air while she has her hands full on the ground. So get your hounds to attack in an arc or something."
That advice was probably not much help, but it was the best Joe could think of. Not to mention having to fight at long range made him feel useless again, even with his second power. He took out his phone, ready to transfer some points to Luci, to find that the point totals had changed. As regretable as it was for another player to be dead, he was now only 13 points away from the third ability.
"Luci. Lend me 13 points."

[John Lau]

The scythes went into a frenzy, hacking in to the flesh of the giant snake over and over again. Meeting little resistance, probably due to Fagelein's ability, Johann was able to take down the great serpent. Noting that Belphegor seems to have been taken care of as well, he drops all 6 of his scythes with all but one fell to the ground as Johann caught it with his right hand. The rest that were on the ground soon disappears into thin air. With the defeat of both Leviathan and Belphegor, Johann allows him self to relax for a bit. Leaning the side of his head on to the cold steel of his scythe hoping to ease the headache caused by the over usage of his abilities, he heard a voice calling from afar.

Approaching what could be described as an incredibly short reaper, Johann readies his scythe in case she turns out to be a hostile. His footsteps stopped at the when he had arrived at a spot where the tiny reaper is at the tip of the range of his scythe. In this range he carefully inspects the unknown person before him.

(It's a little girl......)

"Urm, are you lost, little girl?" That was the only line he could think of to say to a little girl who dose not seem to fit into the background.

[LiquidCyanide]

Johann's devastating blow really took Fagelein by surprise, his combination of the two skills was way beyond what Fagelein had expected. The park went silent as the two spawns of hell were slain, Fagelein rewarded himself with a little stretch and sat next to a bush for a quick rest as he tries to indirectly compliment Johann's sleek skills. "Summoning in a scythe shower eh? Maybe I should try it out some time... Nah, throwing weapons isn't really my forte. "

While Johann was drawn away, Fagelein has his attention caught by a rose, one which was not withered (Assuming it was a grim place). Its radiant red and its fragrance reminds him of what its like to be truly alive. He proceeds to pluck it and remove its thorns so it would fit into his pocket. Abit of chatter could be heard coming from where Johann was, knowing that no one was around, Fagelein's curiosity led him to find out what Johann is mumbling about.

To his surprise, there is a little girl talking to Johann, her small figure had Fagelein thought that Johann was talking with himself. Johann thought the girl was lost, but Fagelein had thought otherwise. "I heard people use little girls to lure lolicons into traps. You best be careful, she might be another player." It felt awkward for a second but he continued pursuing the girl. "Who are you? What are you doing in a place like this? It must be sad for you to die so young."

[Nicsp]

Sachiko let out an annoyed growl after Romeo shouted an interruption in. "No! God damnit!" She snarled back, stomping her foot on the ground angrily. "For the love of-!" She then noticed the huge shadow being cast over her and let out a loud "tch" before she quickly started ran out of there, not looking forward to the idea of being turned into a red paste splattered all over the floor. After moving out of the way from the goliath, she activated her invisibility, she would need to find a way to convince Romeo to work that stick out of his ass and for Fae to give her the points. "...Or could just kill them both..." She mused in her head for a few seconds before she glanced back towards the gigantic creature that was attacking her, she would try to convince Romeo and Fae once more. "LISTEN TO ME! Fae! I don't know what your second ability is but I highly doubt that it's going to be as effective against this thing as a freaking meteor! NOW GIVE ME THE POINTS!" The small girl yelled at the top of her lungs, her bright green eyes flaming with rage, the black bags below her eyes having increased considerably ever since the games started...Then again, I guess didn't matter much, after all, she was kind of invisible now.

[Oliverskx]

Nanicci

"A....lol-li-can? Isn't that candy?"

She couldn't help but frown. How could they not recognize the sound of her voice? She even wore fake white reaper wings to prove her status. Yet they only saw her as some little snot-nosed, pig-tailed, child. It was almost enough to make her loose herself, yet they had a bigger situation on their hands. "Can't you tell it's me sirs? I'm the observer of Afterlife! I see all!-well at least I did- Nevermind that Sirs! You have to stop Amos! Hurry, come, follow, I'll tell you on the way."

She may have been short but she had the energy to pull both of the other reapers by their wrists, attempting to drag them along with her. There was no time. "It was Amos who summoned the Seven Princes of Hell here. He planned it before the games somehow. But the Seven princes are supposed to be sacrifices. He brought them here only to have us sacrifice them for something even more sinister. That's why you two have to stop him before he kills The Almighty again and the rest of the players. Who knows what could happen if he finishes his ritual!"

Nanicci didn't want to think any more about it. "You have to help me stop him! Have you heard anything of Gabriel sirs?" she asked. "I couldn't get his location or response."

She could see the bridge and the large tower ahead looming over Citadel City. She could also see the towers large guardian looming by the entrance. It seemed that the players foolishly went along with their plan after all. If the players were all killed the afterlife games would reset itself. They didn't have enough reapers to conduct another game and whoever inherited God's will would probably do away with the tournament altogether, or make a new game. But if they did that Amos would remain, constantly plotting. She could only see two choices. Help the players and prolong this game until Amos was killed or kill off he players and put a stop to his plotting. She favored how Amos had spoken sweetly on the mic towards her long ago. However she also remembered how absent his kind words were in his attempts to destroy her.


Luci Ferno

"Lend you points?" Luci did not like this. She liked having points;they made her feel safe.

"Joe I barely even have enough to activate my second ability."

Thinking about it, this was no longer about points. It was about survival. It was about getting through this battle and killing the Almighty. And Joe had proved himself to be okay. He'd given her the bread to eat, and didn't fight her when they were trapped in that building. So far he was the only one in these games she trusted. He never once showed hesitation to help her and for that her loyalty was returned. "I'll lend you the points only if you promise that both of us can make it out of here alive. You have to promise me."

She waited to her his reply. Damien did not look like he could keep her busy much longer without help. Another huge blast of wind was headed towards them in full force.


Fae Cantigre

Fae hid looking at her angel phone. Sigh are you seriously considering that after what she did?

Lately Rubbard's messages were becoming jumbled. She wondered if it was because of the bridge fall. She wiped the smudge off the screen and thought for a while. Her angel and Romeo were right. Sachiko's powers even reflected her attitude. She'd abandoned Fae with a bleeding criminal to get food for the group and never returned. She'd killed the most dangerous player and seemed to not even be affected by committing murder, casually returning with half eaten old bread. The girl was sneaky and obviously did not want to stay as a group, so there would be no loyalty between them after this battle. She would probably even kill the rest of the players too and have the points to return to life.

Fae would have given out her loyalty freely before, but not now. She wasn't about to let one dangerous player receive access to all three abilities. Her loyalty had to be earned first. She should have remembered how sneaky most women were in the living world. She should have known. "Oh my I'm sorry. I'll keep my points thank you." she said returning her phone, her steel blade arms summoned. The giant stepped close and Fae ran toward its massive foot striking a few blows. She'd only managed to crack its stone. This large monster would have to be killed creatively.

She could see the giant now, smacking at Romeo who flew about the skies before it let out a punch toward the ground nearby. The vibrations took her off her feet and she went tumbling toward the island's edge. The hem of her dress bubbled and hissed upon contact with the water lapping near the island's ends. "Oh my, it seems the water is acidic?" she asked standing and checking out the damage done to her dress.

A plan was already forming in her head.

[Ryuga]

Joe was not at all suprised by Luci's response. Most people wouldn't think completely rationally at a time like this. Unfortunately he did not have time to explain the cost-benefit analysis to someone as another blast of wind headed their way.
"Look out!" exclaimed Joe as he pulled Luci aside, tumbling as he dodged the wind attack. Joe hit the ground, but managed to scramble onto one knee. No time to be lying down as another attack could come their way at any time. He summoned his energy sword to put something in between him and the Almighty before turning back to Luci. There he saw a scared girl who needed comfort, some confirmation that everything was going to be alright. Just looking at her dispelled any objections Joe had.
"I promise," he reassured her, knowing deep down that this was likely a promise he could not keep. "I promise we'll come out of this alive. I'll make sure of it. Just attack from the air with your fire hounds, and I'll handle the rest."
With that said Joe charged forward, sword front and ready in his primary while his left hand stretched outwards for the Darkness Blast.

[LiquidCyanide]

"Nanicci!? You look far apart from what I've imagine, it must be hard overseeing the world from that...Woah." Nanicci pulled them away hastily before Fegelein could finish, she took her time explaining every detail on about what is happening currently. To our demise, killing Balphegor and the Leviathan only served to aid Amos' cunning schemes. Knowing that he went through all that trouble just to help a jackass made Fegelein even more aggravated and dismayed.

Once again he suggested a plan, though this time he sought to act alone. He thought through it twice before he raised his voice but it seems nothing would have stop him. He puts on his serious face as he voiced out. "I will try to find Amos myself, while the two of you should either join the players or try looking for Gabriel I guess? This way we might succeed in either prolonging the game or taking down Amos immediately. (Besides, I have a score to settle with him.) Any objections?" His plan seemed alright in his eyes, but neither the less he would still have to hear from the other two for their perspectives of the plan.

[John Lau]

The girl frowned and does not seemed to be too happy about being treated like a child. Still, she seems to be able to hold down her displeasure and started to explain the situation as she pulled the two reapers along.
"You're much shorter than I've imagined. So very much shorter." The headache Johann had gained from the previous battle seems to have effected him slightly more than he expected as he had just voiced out his thoughts unconsciously.

While following Nanicci, Johann turns his attention to Fagelein as he explains his intention. After listening to Fagelein's plan, Johann remains silent for a brief moment before speaking again.
"Fagelein, I do not doubt your intentions and I trust you as an ally. But still, Amos was once your partner isn't he? And I believe both of you used to get along fairly well..... Sorry, I'm not sure how to say this,I'm not very good at these things. Simply put, I don't think you should fight him. Even as he is, he was still an ally that had once fought by your side. So instead of having you facing him, let me face him instead."
Johann knows the pain of having to fight someone he had held dear before and does not want his current partner to experience that. He found it strange. Before he wouldn't have cared about what happens to who. Perhaps he was starting to feel lonely again when people around him starts to disappear one by one starting with his former partner, Lily. Turning to Fagelein again Johann decides to have him do something else instead.
"Instead of fighting Amos, you should take Nanicci and report this to the Almighty first. He should know how to deal with this one way or another."

Johann waits to hear his allies thoughts on this.

Sachiko grunted annoyedly and then lashed out. "You idiot! You're gonna get all of us DEAD!" Sachiko called out after hearing that Fae was not willing to share the points, what an annoyance, here she was, actually offering herself to help that girl once more and she just wouldn't share the points...It's not like she NEEDED those, anyways, not if they were going to go with what they had stated they were going for earlier, with the whole, everyone gets out alive thing. Sachiko gritted her teeth, why did they not trust her? She did bring the food back, a bit late, but she did it, did she not? Wasn't her fault if Romeo and Fae got tired of waiting!

Sachiko then realized she was still invisible...And Fae was standing right by the edge of the island, quite close to the apparently acidic water...Just a small push and- No, not yet. Damnit...Just getting rid of Fae would be the quickest way right now...But if what she was saying was true and there was really a way for all of them to make out alive...Well...Sachiko already had the weight of one person on her conscience, two if you consider the baby...It's not like she enjoyed doing that the first time and...She huffed annoyedly and tried to look for cover, using her second ability to spawn her twin blades on her hands. Her invisibilty was wearing off and she'd have to try dodging that monstrosity for now until either the other two came up with a plan or got over themselves and gave her the points she needed to finish this off.

Gabriel

It didn't seem like he had faded into nothingness. It felt as if his soul were still intact but he was floating somewhere. His consciousness drifted along until finally he'd felt his fingers twinge. The red sky seemed to be turning a dark crimson. His vision came back to him, focusing on the dirty sky above. Ah, yes, the time in Afterlife sped forward constantly. They would near the end of Day 2 now. It was rare for any game to make it past day 3.

He sat up and felt a twinge of pain. The gaping hole in his chest had left him completely useless for much longer than he'd intended. All of that time he was out, Amos could have told them his plot against The Almighty. He hoped Damien had become The Almighty by now, though he doubted it. He could barely remember the Damien he knew before their participation in the Afterlife games. They both participated in the Afterlife games, but it was back when he was human. Nowadays he couldn't even recall his actual human name anymore. Resorting to titles. He didn't like this system of The Afterlife Games at all.

Hopefully Damien had become Almighty by now, or at least soon, and put an end to these games. The sting of his wound felt cool. He could feel a slight breeze flow through the hole in his chest. It gave him a soothing relief, yet he knew that these games were not over-A new game hadn't been started and if so his wounds would have reset along with the games. Something was happening. He finally stood and floated weightlessly toward God's tower. he could see even from this distance that a hug gaping hole had been blown from the tower's top. Damien hadn't become Almighty just yet.


Romeo Willis

Good. Fae was beginning to think for herself for once. Ever since he'd met her she'd offered help to others without thought. She deserved this one bout of selfishness. And he didn't trust Sachiko. He threw rune after rune at the gigantic guardian. The most he could do was make it shutter a bit. It seemed to be made of stone- It was a terribly powerful Guardian.

"Hey! Oh, my. The Water is acidic! The water around the island." He heard Fae shout before dodging another stop of the giant's foot.

He gazed at the water surrounding the islands of Citadel city from his view in the sky. It was a murky navy blue color. Once he'd considered drinking it. Now he was glad he didn't. he set of another exploding rune around the creature's head. It staggered a bit but stayed the same otherwise. "How the hell does acid water help?!" he yelled down.

However Fae struck the beast in the legs, failing as the giant stabilized itself. "Trip him!"

It took him a full five minutes to figure out her plan. It seemed like dropping out of high school midway wasn't the brightest idea he'd had. "Genius!" his admiration of her seemed to grown each moment.

"Distract it!" Fae yelled. "We can trip the legs right Sachiko?"

"Whatever." he smirked. "You bi-er ladies just do whatever the hell you gotta do. And I'll just do what I gotta do."

With that he flew full force at the giant, attempting to strike it with his fist.


Nanicci

"Hey! I'm not a little girl to just be taken yaknow sirs! I've got years and years and years of wisdom in this noggin sirs!" Nanicci snapped at Johann's remark.

This was a tough situation for three reapers alone to take on. She realized she'd forgotten the most terrible thing Amos had done before even reaching her. "No-no-no! I object!" she'd stopped pulling them both. "We can't lose any more reapers! We just can't sirs!"

She there weren't many reapers alive last she checked. "We can't just split up without thinking it through completely. I forgot to tell you that he'd already killed The Almighty before he got to me. There's a new one now, but still...Amos is strong, stronger than both of you, maybe even stronger than me-but...One of you wouldn't be enough for him. I'll go find GabrieI...I vote both of you go. We can't let all of our friends die in vain."She thought of Vayne, Lily, Mara, Thora, and the rest who'd died mysteriously earlier on in the game. She thought about Amos' Prince's of Hell. "Reapers are a family who stick together sirs and we need to stick together now more than ever."

She generally disliked sappy speeches, but her three year old body seemed to tear up a bit anyway. "Either way we need to choose something fast."


Luci Ferno

Her angel phone was getting harder to read. Symbols were mixing, but Chad still cheered her one, convincing her to kill the other players and win the game. That was all he seemed to do. "Like, I said give 13 points." she repeated at her phone.

YEa% Ok#Ay baB*e. Th&E De%*Ed *iS d*#One.

She summoned her hell hounds once more. Their flames cracking beside her and commanded them to attack. The two hounds ran and leaped up toward The Almighty. In a twist a gush of wind blew them away once more and Luci was angered. "Again! Attack!" she commanded.

A force like that could definitely blow away any attack aimed at her. Luci wondered if Joe would have a chance to use his third ability.

The wolves regained their blaze and took off once more dodging the woman's blade, but upon biting her limbs, they were eviscerated with a bright white light. "Crap!"

Damien wailed in a bout of pain as his left hand went flying toward her. "Eeek!" she yelped dodging the limb. "This is like, so not worth it. I'm useless."

"I'll finish you." the skinny woman spoke raising her sword. Damien bled, too distracted by shock to fight back.

"No!" she muttered in disbelief.

She wondered whether Joe was having any luck. Now would be the perfect time for him to strike while she was distracted on finishing Damien.

<Datalog updated>
<Luci -13 points>
<Joe +13 points & new ability>

[Ryuga]

Things took a turn for the worse as the party's strongest member sustained a blow from the almighty. However, the Almighty seemed more concerned with dealing the killing blow than defending herself. Joe was not the kind of person to let this chance pass by. He charged forward, shooting the Almighty with multiple shots of this darkness blast, all the while circling around to get behind her. He did not expect these blasts to be all that effective however, as seen by the way the Almighty shrugged off the Fire Hounds, Even if this did not work, at least it would shift her attention from Damien towards him instead. Joe prayed that he had blinded the Almighty though, as he was already in mid swing, hoping to decapitate the Almighty while her back was turned.

[John Lau]

If Amos is really as strong as Nanicci had said then it is indeed a bad idea to split up. On the other hand, there was no time for them to handle each task one by one.
(What to do?)
Johann kneels down to meet Nanicci's eye level and gently wipe off some of her tears.
"For now, we'll stick together. All three of us."
He decided that it's best for possible the last of the reapers left in this game.
"You were right, losing even one of us in this situation will be devastating. But we'll need to know our priorities and pick our tasks carefully.
Johann stood back up.
"We'll leave Amos alone for now. We should still have some time as there should still be two more of those Princes to deal with. As for Gabriel, we'll go look for him if you have a good idea of his location. But if not, well go report to the Almighty and see if it's possible to form a truce with the players and enlist their help. We'll probable need all the help we can get. Any objections?"

[LiquidCyanide]

What Nanicci had mention left Fegelein wondering even more. Have Amos really changed that much since the last time? Did it all happen within such a short span? Or was he plotting ever since the game started? But whatever questions Fegelein had, he would have to save it for later. Amos may have grew alot stronger since, but Fegelein never mention about taking him on.

Like Nanicci, Johann is suggesting that we search for Gabriel or meet up with the Almighty. It would seem like Fegelein have no choice but to go with either one of the options. He leans against the wall and crossed his hands, letting out a sigh in disagreement. "Fine, lets do all the things you guys wanna do. " He knew that split second that his tone was too obvious that he wasn't really pleased, he quickly start talking again to try and play it off. "But lets meet the almighty first, four reapers doesn't make much of a difference anyway. Besides we don't call him the almighty for no reason." He quickly turns and take a few steps away as he finished talking, trying to hide his feelings.

Seeing how Johann treats Nanicci leaves Fegelein even more uneasy, It felt to him as he was ganged-up by the other two and clearly enough he wasn't all to happy about it. But though he treasures his pride, he doesn't have much of a choice now given the circumstances but to stay with them for the time being
