Hijikata would've already applied his freezing energy as the shard had been affected and frozen it solid. As for the lava projectiles he would've scoffed now,as slashed in vertical motion sending wave of his freezing energy. Thereby freezing said atoms,as the shockwave would shatter it now. As he looks at the flesh demon and merely answers with cold smile. He answered in kind." Of course the last one was a mere crumb this is  a meal." He would've smiled  using his some of his Crystal Energy and applying it now,entering his demon form


His cold chilling aura would begin to spread/along with his swordsmanship spirit. As from both magma & flesh demon's rear flanks from beneath their feet,as crystalline dragon arise from their feet. Firing from their jaws  a concentrated blast of crystal energy freezing them in place if not countered,encasing them in a freezing coffin of permafrost.

"Excuse me but I will be taking this meal." The viral demon said as he floated above the three demons and launched a barrage of viral spikes from his body at speeds that would easily pierce through his enemies. Well all except for William who had entered a more evolved form. It would probably be prudent to take him down as a group or hand back and steal the meal while they fought.

[Rurnur]

Looking all around, Theon saw more and more demons approaching Reno's lifeless body. For a moment, he contemplated something, staring at the Immortal's damaged soul, slowly leaking energy. What should he do? Just run? There's no way he'd survive with so many demons around, especially in this state, he didn't want to use his emergency technique right at this moment, but he would if he had to. Theon backed away briefly as some of the demons began to challenge one another, just ignoring him. This was his chance. He immediately grabbed Reno by the throat and began dragging him into the nearest ship, speeding off as the demons were distracted with eachother.@Petroshka@Destructus Kloud@SleepyBuddha@Ruler of Inferno


As he entered through the hangar of one of the intact ships, he stopped for a moment to catch his breath, the physical body of Reno had begun to fade, now appearing as just a fractured soul. Perhaps now he could destroy it? He gripped the object tightly, but hesistated again as the cracks in the shell broke deeper into the soul. "It.. doesn't feel right, to shatter a soul like this." Theon shook his head, dissapointed in himself once more. He held his hand up to his earpiece, adjusting it a little in order to get it working again. "Theon here, in some trouble. The demons are after this Immortal's soul, and I think I can use it to our advantage, luring them deeper into the fleet. But i'm gonna need some support, Acantha, Gabriel? We're gonna have to face it, the demons are the real issue right now. We can't let them sit in the outer rim, picking us off any longer." He spoke sternly to his team members, hoping to get some backup quickly. As he knew at least some of the demons would be on his tail, and he was barely prepared to take on one of them, let alone more. @Petroshka@Gabriel Forfax


After communicating with his team, Theon began sprinting through the ship's corridors, heading to the location of a familiar energy signature, another Artificial? He seemed to be a higher-ranking officer, this was good news. Clutching the soul tightly, he made his way towards his ally, deeper into the fleet, attempting to escape from his potentially demonic pursuers. @Wickedkent

Alvis Bo
​

The Artificial Immortal's emotions were well hidden, yet Alvis could read into her words. A mutual friendship was plausible, yet the risks of the agreement were high. Alvis once more regarded the girl offering a partnership. It was sure that it would benefit her in sure fights against the Demons, yet if the opportunity arose Alvis was sure her life would greet no mercy when the Artificial Immortal's life was endangered. 
​

Her words were processed in her mind as she formulated a response.
​

"I am in the simplicity of it, stating my observations. But if you do wish to use that heavily degrading term I will not refuse." Alvis's response filled the tension that hung heavy in the non gravitated air.

[The Golden Lion]

Hijikata would've scoffed at the fellow demon trying take his meal,as raises his palm forward in fist motion,doing so encases himself in small dome of crystalline structures. Thus shielding him from the volley. He then notices the meal is being taken he speaks towards his fellows demons. " The meal is being stolen I'm going after it,have fun starving my brethren.  As the domes collapses now he takes off using two steps below Shukuchi giving chase towards the fleeing prey. " You're mine the hunt is more fun this way." 


@Rurnur @Destructus Kloud @Petroshka  @SleepyBuddha Let's give chase guys ^^

 

[Petroshka]

​

Vanhishikha returned her lava to her body quickly as she saw the immortal take her meal away. "where do you think you're going?!" She quickly followed behind him not caring about her fellow demons and slammed into the ship the immortal took refuge in. The ship jolted hard as Vani started to melt the outer hull, he cant stay there for long. 

​

Acantha put her fingers to her ear. "Theon?" what he heard was almost unheard of from her always loyal to the grand fleet friend. ignore the immortals to fight the demons heh. "How deep in shit are you for making this suggestion?" she turned to the immortal that was taking her time. "Unfortunately a friend of mine is in rather deep shit in the demons stomach, want to help? a enemy of my enemy is my friend?" She waited for her response but soon flew off toward Theon's direction. "Theon, i am arriving to your location, i might have a immortal ally coming to help." Acantha looked back at the immortal wondering if she would come to help or not.


@ well just about everyone

Alvis Bo
​

Still the choice lain out in front of Alvis was enticing. Both paths leading down to two different ways. Two alternate endings and beginnings. The overwhelming curiosity filled her, and Alvis was urged to follow. Whether she would assist the Artificial Immortals or the Demons. she would assist if the situation required it. The Air Immortal closely traced the girl that had invited her to battle. Although she did not wish or thirst for the rage of battle, Alvis did find the chance at a new experience a worthwhile space of her time.

Cyrell Cleford


He noticed a familiar aura approaching him. It was of another artificial, but another aura appeared. It was right next to the artificial's aura, but much more different. Have this artificial captured and subdued an immortal? He must be low on energy and is trying to move to a much safer place. Unfortunately, the military barracks has also been breached. the demon he was trying to fight disappeared,but was near. Cyrell feared that the demon would try to steal back the immortal's soul and defeat the artificial. He then frowned. He must assist his ally first. He sped towards the artificial.


@Rurnur 

 

[Rurnur]

Running away from the melting section of the ship, Theon sped through the corridors towards his ally's position. On his way there, he quickly responded to Acantha. "Yeah, yeah. I may be taking a risk, but I had to take this chance, to let us re-group and finally take on these demons. Easily done now that I have the bait." He looked down at the damaged soul on his hand, moving around a corner where he came face to face with another artificial. "Major! I've got a group of demons on my tail, and figured I could use this soul as bait for them, after we re-grouped. Sound good? Lets try and meet up with the other members of my squad, they should arrive soon." He spoke quickly, immediately moving to progress deeper into the fleet. "The deeper we go, the higher the alert levels, right? The situation has escalated beyond our level, meaning, we need the attention of the higher ups, fast."

[St. Boethius]

"Oh no you don't! That morsal is mine for the taking!" Nanautzin said shifting his entire being to better navigate the void of space. He would need to prioritize speed for the moment if habeas getting that soul.

@everyone

 

[Petroshka]

​

Acantha's smile grew as the wind immortal decided to follow her, the both of them soon came in view of the ship being assaulted by half a dozen demons. "That doesnt look pretty," She turned to the wind immortal. "we should try to conceal our presence and get in the sneaky way, that way the three of us can team up and focus on a demon." She then used her strings to quickly travel to the opposite side of the large ship and entered codes she shouldn't have known to open the airlock in. @Whale @Rurnur @Wickedkent

 

[Gabriel Forfax]

Gabriel decided to put the immortal's suggestion into act the moment a large blob of magma started moving her way. She summoned a serpent made of far more condensed stone, spending more energy on it than she usually would. In return, though, the stone monstrosity swallowed the blob, the only signs of the hot mass being the smoke that rose from the cracks on its ragged surface. The Officer was quick to jump on the serpent's head, only to slightly frown as she saw that the magma wielder went after the remains of someone's soul. Shortly enough Gabriel received a message from Theon, and nodded slightly by the end of. "Count on me, Captain" she stated.

The Officer looked over at the gravity immortal as she finished with her answer, bowing her head slightly out of respect. "I'll avenge the deceased captain Salegg some other time. Take care before then, Immortal". She informed him before taking her leave, quick to move towards Theon's location.

"How pitiful." William grumbled as the artificial ran off with the meal. With the beat of his wings and a slight push via a burst of dark matter, William propelled himself after the retreating figure and into a section of the military barracks. Upon arrival, he dropped onto the ships floor, denting it, thanks to the gravity generator's personal field set up in each ship to keep stuff from floating around. His large wings brushed the roof of the hanger area a few times before they settled and his three tails move and writhed slowly like individual snakes stalking some invisible prey. He stood facing Theon, along with anyone else that was already there, "You will give me that. I will not negotiate with you again. Prepare to die." Thick, sharp talons made of bone grew like swords from his fingers as his large armoured form slowly trudged forward menacingly.


@Rurnur @anyone else that's here

 

[The Golden Lion]

Hijikata would've slowed his footwork down as the target had seemed to stop. He was now at the barracks now in his demon form as he arrived there a deep chill could be felt. He glanced over at the Flesh Demon comrade,he smiled as in glacial tone. " That meal is mine fellow demon but let's toy with them it makes the meal more enjoyable. Does this agree with your tastes?  My aesthetically inclined death is all they're worthy of." Still holding his tachi as this chill could take become more severe at any moment he desired.


@ To all who really want in.

 

[St. Boethius]

Nanautzin had entered the hanger from a different direction than his fellow demon. Using his new form's superior speed Nanautzin had time to burrow through the ceiling of the hanger and begin preparing an attack from above. His viral energy quickly expanded from the hole he had made and seemed to be creating some sort of structure as strange grows began protruding out of the ceiling. " I don't care who gets the soul in that man's possession. It's the man himself that I desire. I will help you get the soul he guards. Just allow me his soul."

Vani continued to Crunch down with her lava this time not entirely to melt the ship but to get further in. She didnt like the fact that the demons were getting near, but no matter, if they stayed there long enough they would all be crushed and melted, more food for her. The entire ship rocked as the lava covering half the ship started to implode. The outer lava bits started to make dozens of large tendrils and struck the other half of the ship boring deep and melting the surface areas. "This hulk will be all whose within's tomb" Her voice echoed throughout the ship, She looked out and about for anymore prey to enter the ship but couldnt find any, no matter. @Rurnur @Destructus Kloud @SleepyBuddha @Ruler of Inferno (i guess vani is the ruler of inferno here eh? xD ) @Wickedkent

"We must retreat deeper" Cyrell suggested "There are too many demons. I dont like to say this but, we need more help." A demon then landed infront of them. It was the one who Cyrell fought earlier. He was upset that the demon would foil their retreat. He deflected the talons with his own ligjtning tails. 


"Go now and call some help" He barked "Probably some admiral or a sentinel. I will try to hold them off. Nobody gets to touch that immortal's body."

Pieta Clairvaux



Having detected a sign of a fight earlier, Pieta had arrived. Seeing the chaos, she had been on the side watching for a moment with a bemused pair of eyes. Was there something about that soul? That they were fighting so much over it. "Raw strength doesn't mean you'll always win though..." she whispered, with a small shrug. "Though I suppose every soul might be worth it, but not today for me...." She jumped from the broken floating debris as lava was poured onto the ship. Would it be worth a risk to venture in. Compared to food, she had a low appetite today. All she wanted today was to look for that one soul, that one that was drowning in overwhelming malice or danger.   


Quick as a flash, she was in her alternative form now, as she aimed to enter via a port from the bottom of the melting ship. Well, partially melting at this point. The temperature of lava wouldn't be more than 1,200 degrees celcius. Some parts of the ships were equipped with an outer shell that should withstand higher temperatures than that. Extending three strips of black tape they pierced into the gate port. It took another 10 seconds to pry open the metal into a hole for her to travel through. 


Pieta looked around at the walls and the electronics. She remained in her demon form and began moving in. Hearing words of retreat, it was likely there was more. A small excited face had returned. Would there be anyone that had the mentality to fight, in the circumstances that there were already three other demons lurking within here. Reaching out her hand as she passed by a corridor, she touched the wall, prying open a locked metal door. She looked at the strings and strings of wires connecting to the electronics and power points for this ward. Lightly, she tapped onto the one of the wires, as the ends of her black tapes were starting to crackle with electrostatic sounds. 


There was a sparking flash, and in a quick moment, the ward was drowned in darkness. Anyone in the control room of the ship would perhaps see that the ward's cameras were now shut off. It would be rude to not at least give some greeting, right?

[Rurnur]

"Yes, yes we must. I don't like to leave you here, but there's no way I can get far with so many on my tail, try and stop one of them, Major. I'll do my best to get the alert levels raised." He spoke to the other Artifical while noting down all the various demons that had approached them both. Not good, how was he gonna get out of this one? If only he can get out of this corridor, then maybe the others would have a chance to intervene. "Alright then, i'm off." He gave a half-hearted smirk to the demons before bending his knees, charging up a certain energy in his soul. "Don't think i'm done with you, Nanautzin, William. I've just got important business to take care of." Upon allowing his own chemicals to increase his speed somewhat, Theon kicked the floor and bounced away from the demons, dashing through a series of walls, once again heading deeper into the fleet, avoiding the magma which was slowly taking over the ship. @Wickedkent@Destructus Kloud@SleepyBuddha@Ruler of Inferno


As he maneuvered through corridors and smashed his way through elevators, Theon kept in contact with his team through his earpiece. "I'm making my way towards the Military Barracks, i've got approximately four demons following me. Hopefully the Major can take care of one, as long as you guys can stop at least two of them, I should be able to get someone's attention." He said while bursting out from the ship's hull, pushing himself through empty space, getting closer and closer to his destination. @Petroshka@Gabriel Forfax@Whale

 

[Seraph Darkfire]

"Huh" Alex paused and scratched his chin slightly "That feels...odd" there was a strange pulling sensation when the density of his body reached a specific point. A crackle of energy rippled across his body. From his point of view, it looked as if everything simply bent towards him, the immortals, demons, artificial, the ships, the stars. Then, there was nothing.


To anyone else paying attention, it was if he was pulled through a hole in the universe. 


Alex blinked as he looked around. It was strange, one second he'd been floating in the middle of a battle field, now he was standing in a purely white space. He ran a hand through his hair and began to walk. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could feel a sort of...surface...underneath him. Strangely enough, he couldn't gather any of his energy, not even muster up his soul energy.


He felt....Mortal.


He reached up and grabbed his chin, pinching the cheek roughly before wincing "Ouch...that...isn't good..." he rubbed his cheek. Immortals didn't feel pain...not really. Most of it was mental, the only real pain came from feeling their soul's being damaged. He wondered where he was, a place that could make him Mortal, a place of nothingness.


Alex made a face and sighed "Damn, what did I do? Did I break the universe or something?" he scratched his head as he thought "No, that isn't right...where the hell am I?"

Cyrell Cleford


He just smiled at the captain.


'Even if I hold one off, more will just come at me. I will be a demon magnet and I'm afraid I cannot handle all of them, at once.' He though to himself. He looked at the demon. He must try to hold off the demons as best as they can. He already sent a message to his crew in avalon to send a message to the command ships requesting for help. He looked at the flesh demon and then transformed to his armored form.


"Nice to meet you again, Demon." He said when the lights went off.Another electric user? He then smiled. Electricity flowed out of his body and to the metal surface of the ship. He sent electricity back turning all the systems back online including the lights.

[The Golden Lion]

Hijikata would've merely nodded in agreement Nanutzin,as he speaks coldly." Well fine I want that soul let's go now I'll set up pincer tactic." As the chill would now become severe as crystals constructs formed now, senbon of crystalline with density comparable to tamagane(jewel steel). As well the follow up creating thick blizzard hiding both Hijikata & Nanutzin now. Thus he wouldn't be sitting on loins now took off at speed of three steps below Shukuchi,vanishing as now he was without even noticing employing the Strike of Non Thought. Thereby increasing his speed & power dramatically mind he had assumed his demon form meaning his freezing energy is now more volatile to confront. As he given a signal yo Nanutzin prior to the creation of smokescreen,also in that moment the senbon would've fired towards Theon & any one with immortal/artificial aura. As he had begun to apply his aura using precision targeting,thus if struck the freezing energy would've frozen the atoms of the intended targets. Thus Hijikata was already in the process of his blade dance,striking in vertical stroke towards the Theon,as he was striking on his right flank. Intending to strike with a vertical stroke intending to sever Do(chest) open. As he was using in unison The Strike of Non Thought & Body of Lacquer & Paste techniques of Niten Ichi Ryu school. He was hoping Nautzin had seized this opening he had granted him.

Alvis Bo
​

Tailing the Artificial Immortal, Alvis keep sure to observe her surroundings. Every slight movement was one to be questioned. The slow-drifting pieces of demolished ships were always regarded with suspicion. Their eventual destination was one close to secrecy, as the Artificial Immortal suggested. Alvis swiftly followed her into the ships foreboding hold, all the while picking out the various escape routes available to her. The Air Immortal's eyes never halted in their work to keep her updated on the situation at hand. If the Artificial Immortal made any moves Alvis would know of it. As well as any new developments in the nearby battles Alvis could discern from ear and eye.

Acantha watched Theon pass her "wait!" but he didn't listen to her and proceeded to fly further into the fleet. well then. She looked back to the festering mass of dark matter and upon hearing Theon's orders she started to make her way to the major. "Major, im coming to assist, dont die too fast." As she got there  She saw Nanautzin and the flesh demon that Acantha couldn't really remember the name of. There was a new demon here too. "Major." She nodded at him and looked at the demons with her per usual smile. "it seems like the families all here!" she clapped her hands. "Except Theon, and Gabe..." Her eyes quickly shifted left then back again. "Enjoying your stay in the grand fleet?" The more she can get the demons to talk the longer they'll be distracted.

​

Vanihishikha felt more souls within the ship but most importantly she felt the immortal's soul leaving the ship. This gave vani options. stay with the ship to melt more lava and eat whoever's soul still in, or chase after the soul for an easy meal. She only had a few seconds to think when the large mass of lava stopped boring into the ship and started to flow towards the soul. But obsidian glass statues covered the wreck and started to flood inside. "You're not getting away that easily!" Vani flew infront of her lava tidal wave zooming toward the immortal. 


@ just about everyone  mostly @Rurnur

 

[Rurnur]

Theon frowned and grit his teeth as he felt the familiar heat resonating off of that demon's magma energy. "Acantha, Major, how many demons have you got covered? There's one still after me." @Wickedkent He announced to his fellow soldiers, before turning around in mid-flight, pulling back the slide on his gun and charging it full of energy, transforming it into a strange crossbow, which then fired it's arrow of chemical energy right at his demonic pursuer. "You really want this, huh?" Upon pulling the trigger, the handgun expectedly shattered into pieces from the overload of energy, compared to the regular bullets it was designed for. But, this didn't impede the power of the projectile, speeding towards the magma demon that continued to chase him. "You'll regret chasing me this far, you know. If I were you, I'd take this opportunity to retreat back to the dark pit you crawled out of!"


After firing the arrow, Theon quickened his pace and dashed into the next ship, making his way through a series of barriers that would represent entry into a new section of the fleet, a large, mostly empty region filled with shields and barriers, designed to be an open area for Fleet defence, the area which seperates the Security Halls and the main Military Barracks. He may be able to make contact here, but most likely, he'd need to successfully fight off the demon and make it in a little further, to get someone's attention. Nevertheless, he started broadcasting an emergency request using waves made from "activating" the Aether that filled his soul.
