Unfocused and arrogant, you think to decieve the king of deception?

As Fortuna tried to hypnotize him Alucard lept from what was left of the dirt ball and plunged his hand into his "boss'" body. His mark would temporarily paralyze the angel in her form. Suddenly Sacer's spear flew through the demon and stuck in the ground below creating a blast that destroyed most of the already scattered demons.

Alucard's body became vaporized and would take a great deal of time to reform. The vampire's deceptive world faded back to reality taking the demon army with it. Fortuna was released from Alucard's paralyzing mark.

"You ok?" Sacer asked hovering next to the "devil". "You know I could get used to you in this form." He giggled sitting on her giant shoulder.

Please be more careful against Alucard next time Fortuna. He's not something that any of us should clash against head on.

Over in the distance Sacer watched Guardian battle Masozi.

The demon snake let the sword plunge into its mouth driving all the wat down the hilt. In a flash the snake's body wrapped tightly around the angel hoping to squeeze the life right out of him.

Guardian felt Mazosi's tail wrap around him. With no time to escape, Guardian could only let the snake do so...

The Angel of Law only shrunk to a tiny size, squeezing past an open coil, before returning to his previous size. The sword remained stuck in Mazosi's mouth. Guardian mentally commanded his sword to return, and it began to do so...It would rip itself out of the snake, should Mazosi not follow it.

The giant serpent flipped backwards as the blade wrenched from his mouth. In his wild flip the demons tail flailed to strike the guardian as a fresh wave of spikey scales followed suit.

Sacer flew over at breakneck speeds before a red mist surrounded him. Confused and lost the angel flew straight into a mountain; the mist formed several hands armed each with Alucard's strange handgun. A barrage of bullets pelted the one winged angel into a bloody mess. Reshaping he admired Sacer's wrecked body smiling from ear to ear.

Guardian narrowly avoided the snake's lash, but was caught by surprise when the tail exploded as it passed. Scales were flying in every direction. The angel was able to raise his kite sheild to protect his head, and his upper half.

He felt several scales smack into his armor with little effect, but there were some that went straight through the angel. A bluish smoke flowing out of the wounds.

Guardian lost a bit of altitude as his wings failed him. As the angel was freefalling, he healed himself at a good speed, finally gaining control of his wings again and flying back at the demon snake.

"Thank you Sacer." Fortuna said. "What does work on that idiot? I really have a serious dislike for him and I want him gone."

Guardian was having trouble, so Sacer flew over to help, but was trapped by Alucard.

"Xenix!" Xenix used his sonic blast and blew Alucard hard into the mountain himself, aside from making him deaf for a while.

Fortuna took this opportunity while Alucard was disoriented to cover him in amazingly blinding bright light, while Xenex flew near, emitting strong flames in order to keep the light.

Fortuna brought out her diamond studded swords, upping the light even more. She cut off the guns in Alucard's hands with one swipe of each blade.

Fortuna turned to ethereal mist, other than her weapons, and at a speed so fast the weapons were unable to be seen, slashed Alucard's body to ribbons.

In the meantime Xenix went over to Masozi and gave him a sonic blast, which sent him flying and making him disoriented as well.

Fortuna went over to Sacer. "Sacer, are you OK?" She grabbed him and flew him away from Alucard, who was still a bloody mess stuck to the mountain.

Alucard had been reduced to a bloody pile smeered against the side of the mountain, but deception was his specialty. The crimson blob rolled down the mountain gathering snow and eventually bgean to develop into a giant snow monster. The massive snowman swatted at Xenix lest the creature destroy his new vessel.

Masozi became confused as the sky seemed to blend in with the ground. The mile long serpant lashed out in every direction whipping its body around wildly. Scales pelted the landscape annihilating the forrestry.

Sacer's wounds sealed as he rolled out of Fortuna's arms smiling. "I don't know Fortuna, I've been trying to kill him for years and had to sacrifice myself to stop him. If necessary I'll find a way to do it again, but we keep pressing our attack he should retreat."

The snowman's hand lurched out firing hundreds of icicle spears towards the servants of heaven. It's skin was thick and solid tundra almost as hard as solid steel.

Raven launched her umbrakinesis at the demon to help hold it down. She yelled to Diaphanous, "Use your mantra to gather your concentration!" Raven's eyes glowed as she and Diaphanous forced the beast down into hell.

Wooshaba']Raven launched her umbrakinesis at the demon to help hold it down. She yelled to Diaphanous, "Use your mantra to gather your concentration!" Raven's eyes glowed as she and Diaphanous forced the beast down into hell.
ooc- the demon's already in hell. Prism pushed it in, and Sabbath, Dia, and Raven have to pull Prism out with their powers.

"Thanks Raven!" Diaphanous yelled. "Now to pull prism back!"

She repeated her mantra and was supprised at the focus she obtained, and strength. She pulled as hard as she could on the telekinetic leash around Prism.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fortuna said to Sacer: "Look, an Alucardsicle!" and laughed." When she got so cocky she did not know, but perhaps it was her way of dealing with the danger.

As Alucard the "snowman" tried shooting his icicles, Xenix shot fire all around him, melting the ice.

"Sacer, how do we hurt pimpboy?" Inside she was laughing at the words coming out of her mouth. Likely so was Sacer.

The portal began closing. It became smaller and smaller. Then, a ball of fire shot out. The ball hit the ground, and Prism fell out. He lay on the ground, breathing hard. The group ran up to him. "Prism, you did it!" Acillatem exclaimed. "Acillatem..." Prism said still breathing heavily, "we have to make sure we never do that again. There is a hell. And if we keep shit like that up, we'll be there for eternity." Acillatem had a somber look. "I see. Well, I guess you are right. Sabbath and Maiden can't help it, because it's how they are, but I think if they use their powers wisely, they'll be fine." "Sweet. Now, let's deal with other things." The group got in Orion and flew over to where Enertro, Dia, and the others were. They walked out. Maiden, in demon form, held the containers were Surge and Legion were. He opened them, Surge spilled out with all the water. Prism grabbed the large chunk of ice Legion was in, and melted it. "They'll be fine. They won'y be able to use their powers for a day or two." He looked at Enertro. "You have now idea how much I wanted to kill you. And, deep inside me, I'm still pissed. However..." He looked at Dia, "... if I kill you, I would be hurting a friend. Plus, that friend would go "Electric Funeral" on the world." Sabbath grinned at the Black Sabbath reference Prism had just made. "So, I realize that I screwed up big time." "And so do I." Acillatem handed Enertro something. It was a check he had just written out for a large sum of money. "Use this to repair your island. If you need helpdoing so, we will assisst you."

"We keep fighting him until he flees, I never quite figured out a way to beat him." Sacer admitted almost ashamed watching the melting snow monster swat away at Xenix. Sacer called his massive golden spear and took aim for the heart of the frosty demon.

Suddenly a blast tore the entire beast right in half, Sacer turned to see Athena perched up on a mountain with her massive cannon.

Dammit Fenrir, get her out of here!

Sorry Sacer, but she nearly beat me to death until we helped you.

Enertro narrowed his eyes at Prism. "Well, if it's anything like the hatred I feel for you right now, Prism...then yes...I know how it feels," he growled, his hands glowing with energy.

As he was handed the check, he put it in his pocket, smiling wickedly at the others.

"I don't need any help from traitors and enemies..."

Enertro stepped back a bit, Surge helping the shivering Legion up and behind their boss.

"Next time I see any of your faces, ever...mark my words, you'll all wish you jumped in that hole," Enertro snarled.

***********************************************************

Guardian once again used his wings to sheild him from the snake's scales.

An opening... Guardian thought as Mazosi thrased above him. He sped up with incredible speed, his sword ready to pierce the demon's stomach.

ooc: I do not recall Fortuna beating Fenrir ever.

"Please, will you all calm down." Diaphanous said to everyone. "Will you please all drop your vendettas. Prism, you were misinformed. Enertro, it would make me happy if you would forgive." She looked up into his eyes.

"Let us make peace... real peace. There are other things going on in the world that we will have to attend to. I cannot figure it out yet, but I know bad Mojo when I feel it, and this is all over the place. We need to focus on these issues." She said.

She turned and smiled at Raven. It seemed her mantra had made her into a peacemaker instead of an enraged woman.

Prism was impressed with Dia's new skills as a diplomat. "I'm all for a truce. But I want some explanations. I'm sure he does to." Prism said pointing at Enertro. Prism looked at him. He thought he was so intimidating. Prism knew that with the powers he had gained, he could crush him. But, he was eager to make peace after the whole ordeal.

OOC- Hype, I think Fenrir is talking about Athena

ooc: oh... duh... I don't think Prism could crush Enertro. He is one of the strongest of the bunch... barely under Omino.

"I can read your mind Prism... you do not have the power to crush him. You do not understand all his powers. Let us just forget this who is stronger than who. When it comes down to it, it is likely that I will continue to gain new powers, because of my planet, and I will be able to control nuclear fusion and fission..." She laughed. "So let us not argue or compare ourselves." Diaphanous explained.

"As far as the past, I would like to leave it there myself. Prism, you have always been my friend, and Enertro knows that, and we would never have intentionally left you behind. There was such chaos and horrid things I could not control. In this short time, we have all changed. Become more mellow and wanting happiness and a relaxing life, as opposed to ruling the world." She chuckled.

"Think of what a pain in the ass it would be to have to rule the world. The bureaucracy alone! I shudder to think! Also, the bad Mojo. There are things far beyond us happening in this world. I believe possible world wars, and not only your demon, Prism... I feel it, and I feel Sacer fighting. We have a connection. The world is at stake again, and I think we must all band together, forget our differences, and try to save our planet." Diaphanous finished.

"I will step off my soap box now." She grinned, then turned to Raven again. Diaphanous was surprised at how the mantra helped her keep control.

Telepahtically she said to Raven:

I know I have a long way to go, but I have come a long way. I am amazed at myself. I owe you so much and there is nothing I can do that would compensate for what you have taught me. Thank you so much. I would like to continue to train with you, if it is OK.

ooc: oh... duh... I don't think Prism could crush Enertro. He is one of the strongest of the bunch... barely under Omino.

OOC- Yes, but there are things that I know that you do not...

OOC- Yes, but there are things that I know that you do not...

ooc: Vice Versa ;)

ooc: Vice Versa ;)

OOC- Yeah well bring it on!!!!:mp5: :gundge: :sniper:Just kidding.

OOC: Well each character is strong in there own ways. There are three different categories that each of the characters are in. On the average of all three Omino and Haze would be at the top of the list. I'll make an official list of the rankings of the characters. Don't sleep on Prism however he has gotten a lot stronger. He and Enertro would have a pretty good brawl. Enertro wouldn't crush Prism. Prism wouldn't crush Enertro.

IC: Water looked at Morph and said, "It is time to rap this up." Water quickly made the water vapor around Morph solidify into ice freezing the former hero. Water planned to behead the man after he was completely frozen.

=============================================================

Haze smiled as the beast was defeated. He landed and said, "Good job team." He looked at Enertro and Prism confrontation and shook his head. He walked over to them and said, "You two should just drop it. Prism you need to explain to all of us why you would summon a demon. This is very serious and this is nothing to joke about.

James felt himself slowing and soldifying as the ice formed about him. With a surge of strength, he partially broke the ice, and with a proverbial flick of the wrist sent his hand spinning out like a sawblade at Water.

He knew if this failed Nin might be able to actually kill him, if he knew how of course, as even frozen conventional methods would be nigh-on useless at actually slaying him.

Water took the form of water as the sawblade slashed throught his body. He maintained the form of water and laughed and said, "You'll have to find another way to defeat me my friend." The ice continued to solidify the King.

There just happened to be a very large and very hot oil lamp over Water. Water's one weakness was oil because he couldn't maintain his body composition with it in him. Then if he was set on fire he was a goner. Water began to laugh hysterically.

The hand that had formed the sawblade had enought initiative to act to protect the entirety of James and since it's own truest weakness was heat, and Nin seemed to have some similarities to Morph, it figured that perhaps an equivalence of weakness.

Quickly moving up the wall, it began wrenching out the bolts holding the lamp to the ceiling. Pulling the last bolt out, the lamp fell, thought tragically the heroic hand fell with it, being consumed by the burning oil.

ooc: In terms of movement it looks like Thing from the Adams Family.

ooc: rankings: Dia can blow up the earth in a second (she won't, but I'd put her up at top!:p ) Plus, every attack goes through her. :D

Diaphanous continued to try to keep the peace and people were calming down. "Haze it is good to see you." She smiled, relieved, as he was a better arbitrator, she was sure. She wanted everyone to band together. With what was coming, it was necessary.

"Enertro, do not get angry about anything that is said. It will only amount to nothing. We have our pride, however, if we do not all work together on all the elements causing the bad Mojo, we will never have each other, my love." She held him lovingly. "We must work with those that perhaps you or I cannot stand, but it is for our future." She smiled up and looked at him in the eyes, lovingly.

"Just drop your pride for now. Things have changed. Prism is far stronger than he was. I know this. It does not matter. I have you, my soul mate and husband. We will rebuild our island retreat after we deal with this world threat, and we will live our relaxing life again." Diaphanous grinned. "Maybe with children?"

Guardian's charge was soon met head on with a mighty blast from the demon's mouth. The beam of solid energy drained what remained of the serpent's energy. The giant snake recoiled from the massive blast and landed limp in the mountainous terrain with a quaking thud.

The snow creature tumbled apart before Alucard remained hovering furious as ever. A circle of ancient scarlet runes floated around his body with his hands extended.

A second, third, and forth round bounced off an invisible shield surrounding the vampire. With his hand extended Athena was summoned to it instaneously. She squirmed while his pale fingers wrapped around her throat.

It is nothing I seek but to enjoy myself, I just want to see what my torment has created. My master has abandoned me and now I noly serve my lust for a good fight.

Sacer leaned his head forward grinning before ripping his silver chestplate off with a clean swipe.

"Secure the spear and get everyone out of here." The angel growled as his ivory wing began turning into a darker shade. Dropping Athena, Alucard lunged at the dark angel. Immediately upon colliding the two vanished from the earth.

OOC- Ahh yes, a ranking system...

IC- "We summoned the demon expecting to be able to control it. However, it was to powerful. It was a justice demon and was supposed to only attack those who needed justice. However, we weren't going to take the chance if we couldn't get it under control, so we followed it here." Prism looked around at the city. For the most part, not much dammage had been done. He couldn't tell if anyone was hurt or not.

Diaphanous looked at Prism. "Everyone deserves justice. Everyone has done things they should not. Vengance itself is a sin Prism. You understand the entire earth would be empty should that demon actually have had a brain and served out justice." She continued.

"The best we can do is try to make up for our mistakes, and be the best we can."

Diaphanous glanced at the television that was still running in the smashed room they were in. Her eyes grew wide. Tears rolled down her face...

They were running the story about Candace being eating by the Great White. The guilt hit her like a knife.

"That girl... the one who was killed by the shark... She was the one sitting next to us in the hall sobbing her eyes out begging us for help and we were so busy with the demon, no one acknowledged her. She said it was about Arthur. That must have been his girlfriend at the time..." Diaphanous sunk down.

"None of us even listened to her cries for help. Had we helped her..." She had tears pouring down her face.

"Justice? Justice? When will you learn that anything that deals in absolute justice only causes destruction?" Drake was furious. Here he was, newly recruited, and already fixing mistakes of an old conflict and some misguided passions of a couple of people. "Remember the saying that 'An eye For an aye leaves the whole world blind?' It's true. Everybody has done something wrong. The only guarantee that somebody will never commit wrong again is death. And yet you seem to forget that. Nightwing, I came here expecting to make an actual difference. If that difference is going to be bad, then I don't want in on this."

Arthur wandered the streets of Keystone. Most of the citizens had fled. Looking around he saw the destruction he had caused. He sighed and went into one of the actually not destroyed buildings. Arthur found a TV and turned it on. He picked up a chair and set it down facing the TV. Turning it on it was a world news channel. He sat down and listened to the story. It was about a sixteen year old teenager getting attacked in Australia. Then they mentioned the name. It was Candace. Arthur was stunned. It was all his fault. He took the ski mask off and threw it down to the ground. Tears came down from his eyes. He felt gulity. Arthur threw the chair against the wall and shot a beam into the TV. The TV exploded. He walked outside and went down to this knee. He was cryining. "WHAT HAVE I DONE?"

"Justice? Justice? When will you learn that anything that deals in absolute justice only causes destruction?" Drake was furious. Here he was, newly recruited, and already fixing mistakes of an old conflict and some misguided passions of a couple of people. "Remember the saying that 'An eye For an aye leaves the whole world blind?' It's true. Everybody has done something wrong. The only guarantee that somebody will never commit wrong again is death. And yet you seem to forget that. Nightwing, I came here expecting to make an actual difference. If that difference is going to be bad, then I don't want in on this."

"You are not following me. I am saying that we have all done things we should not have, and the best we can do is try to do better. That is exactly what I said! How did you not understand that?

"Right now I wish I would have listened to that girl in the hallway." Diaphanous looked at Enertro, tears still coming down her face.

"Well, destructive justice is the only kind I serve out," Enertro growled, before turning to the Television and wrapping his arm around Diaphanous.

"Would we have been able to help her? Or would we have just brought an uncontrolled demon and a group of misfits to kill her?" Enertro sighed. He vaguely remembered her. His mind must have been on Prism...

"Perhaps she had some sort of regenerative super power?" Enertro asked quietly, more wishing it so...somehow he doubted that...

Diaphanous was sick of this whole conversation. "I am going to my suite. This whole conversation is sickening me." She left in tears thinking about the girl.

If just one of us told her to wait and we would help her...

A coming from the news was the destruction happening in Keystone City. They showed a view from a helicopter showing Lightspeed destroying the city. Then it showed another shot of the citizens.

"We are getting reports from Keystone City that is under attack. It is under attack from unknown villian."

Next a photo of the villian was shown.

"The mayor has called a total evacuation of the city."

Enertro walked back with Diaphanous. "I'm sorry, Dia. I couldn't have done anything. If I went to help her, I'd only bring a demon with, which who what it would have done..."

"We were all needed to vanquish the demon, and Surge and Legion were currently being held captive."

With the demon vanquished, Tibor and Lumiko departed, heading back to Katigasnia.

The vampire and the angel floated in a white abyss close to a dream like state. Both unconcious only to communicate between each other easier.

What do you want Alucard?

You always were on our side.

That's your opinion.

You were born under my master's will and yet you continue to pretend to be an angel. He misses you, that was the only time I saw him sad was the day god stole you from us.

Keep your lies to yourself.

To call you a fallen angel would be a mistake. You only reverted to your original form, but you were stronger once, when you had both of your blackened wings. Why is it among all of the angels that you alone find an affinity to darkness?

Shutup, I don't want to be here anymore.

The angel curled into a ball clutching his head trying to escape.

Go ahead and runaway again, but you'll have to face the truth eventually.

"Look, I get the point about what I have done. I realize it was follish. I was not thinking clearly, and a bit insane at the time." Prism looked at the tv. Then he saw something about an attack at a place called Keystone City. "Uh, yeah. Someone's completely trashing that city. Maybe we should do something." Hopefully he could get the trust he wanted now that he realized everything was his fault.

Enertro walked back with Diaphanous. "I'm sorry, Dia. I couldn't have done anything. If I went to help her, I'd only bring a demon with, which who what it would have done..."

"We were all needed to vanquish the demon, and Surge and Legion were currently being held captive."

"I know, however, had just one of us told her to wait for us..." Diaphanous held Enertro tightly.

"That was Arthur's girlfriend. From what I have seen on the news, they have evacuated Keystone City, where Arthur is from, due to a new villian who robs banks in seconds. Who do you think that might be? I bet that is why Candace was in despair. I wonder where Omino is. He should stop this kid... he is out of control. He seemed fine when I spoke with him, but he seems to have turned into something else in a short time." She explained to Enertro.

"I wish it was just us on the island again." She kissed him. "However, Raven, in a short time has taught me much. It is only the beginning, but she is wonderful!" Diaphanous smiled at Enertro.

"Our little peaceful Island of pleasure..." he whispered as he returned her kiss. His mind flashed to his island, before returning to the present. There would be a lot to fix up...for a long time.

Enertro pulled away slowly. "Justice should be done...you should have let Prism fall down the hole when you had the chance," he said so quietly, it was almost inaudible.

"Please no, Enertro... he has changed... just as we did." Diaphanous hugged him tightly. "Please give the others a chance as well?

"We are not... growing... apart... are we?" She looked into his eyes. "You are my one love, my soul mate and husband and I never want to lose you. Please tell me that you are not growing away from me." She had a frightened look on her face.

"No, my love," Enertro replied as he looked into her eyes. "We will never grow apart."

With that, he slowly brought his lips to her neck and kissed her gently.

"I believe you are completely correct... It is just all this stress and the training, and Candace... I feel overwhelmed, my love." Diaphanous whispered to Enertro while enjoying the kisses on her neck.

Arthur looked around at the destruction he had caused. The only people that could stop him were NJLU. He tore a sleeve off his jacket. Making a headband he put it on. This was going to be his destiny. He would fight until the Speed Force took him. He couldn't go back to his old ways.

Enertro guided stumbled to the bed, still kissing her on the neck, however the kisses grew more passionate and faster. "See, my love. Nothing will ever break us apart!" he chuckled as he pulled away gently to look into her eyes.

As Diaphanous felt the electric energy and power building between them, she knew he was right.

She responded by kissing him passionately and carressing his perfect body, moaning quietly.

"Starfire, Nightwing, I am still kind of lost as to what exactly we were supposed to have been here for? Anybody care to enlighten me?" Drake figured, and had made it painfully obvius, that they still had not got down to exactly what they were supposed to have been here for in the first place.

OOC: Dia wouldn't be able to blow up the world. No matter how much power a person has without control it is nothing. I want to talk to you about Dia's powers by the way Hype. Would you rather me TG you or can we just do it here in the OOC thread?

IC: Water screamed in horror as the oil fell into him. He couldn't maintain his form and he was easily set ablaze. His cry could be heard throughout the castle. He burned until there was nothing left but the naked body of the former water nin. While he was burning a blue spirit rose out of the fire and shot into the King. The tattoo of Water appeared on his chest and another symbol appeared on the Kings back. Water's last words were, "We will come in contact." The man's eyes glowed white and then he died.

=============================================================

Starfire looked over at Drake and said, "We planned to have a training exercise to categorize you with. You and Enertro were supposed to participate in it with Speedy." Starfire simply shook her head at the random arguments. Starfire walked up behind her husband and said, "Maybe we should all just go to the Watch Tower. We could communicate better there."

The others didn't notice but the tattoos on Prism began to glow a brilliant white. Only Prism noticed it. An image of the Great Wall of China popped into Prism's head and he knew that is where he needed to go.

Enertro began to unbuckle her top, while pressing against her until she lay on the bed. Then, he suddenly sat up.

"You know, I think Nightwing wanted me to join him for some sort of pratice," he said, half teasing, and half wondering if the old man still wanted him to do so. He loved to see Dia's impatience when they were getting intimate...it made him laugh all the time.

Morph shrugged at the man's words. Looking at the tattoos, he subsumed them into his body as they weren't exactly discreet and explain-awayable. By the time the guards had came rushing in, the man had been 'webbed' to the ceiling and James's hand bore burn marks as to explain away the scream.

After the situation had been fully dealt with, James decided to take a nap.

Guardian's charge was soon met head on with a mighty blast from the demon's mouth. The beam of solid energy drained what remained of the serpent's energy. The giant snake recoiled from the massive blast and landed limp in the mountainous terrain with a quaking thud.

Guardian strafed to a direction, barely escaping the blast. Yet he cried out in pain, a strange cry that matched his strange voice. One of his wings had been damaged...and that was something that was hard to do. He lost altitude, but did a semi-controlled landing as his wings writhed in agony.

The angel of Law knelt down as he concentrated on healing the wing. It was much harder than any flesh or blood, because it was much more complicated than that. It was a heavenly energy that made up it's form and thus, would require a lot of energy to reform the missing piece.

He stared at the limp snake as his wing slowly healed, wondering if it was finally dead.

Prism saw the Great Wall of China. What the hell? He needed to get there. "Everyone, something urgent has come up. I understand your still suspicious, but I have to investigate this." Within minutes the Orion was ready to go. It blasted away. When they reached China, Prism spoke. "Stand by in case I need you, but stay out of sight." He lept out, and landed on a pillar of lava he created. It was night, and no one was around. He looked around, confused.

Arthur couldn't go on like this anymore, but he couldn't be a normal person or hero ever again. He had made the choice of becoming a villian and now it had to stick with it forever. Hoping that when he died he wouldn't go to the Speed Force. His Idols would be embrassed of him. "WHERE ARE YOU???????" He screamed out. Arthur shot several light beams into buildings.

OOC: Wooshaba we need to wrap this up before I leave in two days.

Omino sat back and watched his student. He shook his head and walked up quietly behind him. Before the boy could move Omino struck the boy on the left side of his neck, knocking him unconscious. He picked the boy up and flew off to Solar Isle.

Once on Solar Isle he dropped him into a pond. Omino then used his cryokinetic abilities to quickly freeze the boy in place. The water would not melt even if someone was to set it ablaze. Omino locked him in there until he felt the time was right.

==============================================================

As Morph slept he also had dreams of the Great Wall of China. He saw five bodies hanging from the wall and then one dressed in a blue robe looked up and pointed at him. The man said, "Come to the Great Wall of China."

The tattoos appeared back on Morph's bodies. They glowed white as he slept.

OOC: Wow you wrapped that up fast.

OOC: Wow you wrapped that up fast.

OOC: Yep

James woke after only a short while to notice the tattoos had annoyingly reformed. Since they seemed to be stubborn, he decided to 'cheat them' by forming essentially a second skin, in much the same manner he'd generated clothing in his Sean days.

Dismissing the dream, he went about his regular activities as he wasn't about to let a dream character bother him.

Arthur could feel the coldness set in. He wondered who put in him in this prison. Or more likely where he was. His healing powers would keep alive forever. Awhile ago he learned that could make his healing power put him in a sleep. The sleep could make him live threw almost anything. Also it stopped his aging process all together. Arthur slowly went to sleep.

The white tattoo began to glow through the second layer of skin. Images of the skeleton in the blue robe pointing at him from the Great Wall bounced around inside of Morph's head. The spirit kept calling to him. Go to the Wall. Go to the Wall.

Everytime it began to glow even faintly, James simply bent his innards around so the tattoos were back in his gut rather than on his skin. As the thoughts began bouncing, he thought back, Why?

The white tattoos continued to glow again. The thoughts answered, So that you can meet the rest of your brotheren,

And if I have no interest in meeting them? He thought back as he just kept enfolding himself each time the tattoos put in an appearence.

The snake retracted into Masozi's human form, a tall, kinny, and dark figure. The demon wiped the blood from the side of his face as he limped closer to the wounded guardian. Drawing a small dagger to attack, Masozi's weak charge ended shortly by falling onto his face.

"This is far from over angel, I'll see you again soon!" He growled as his body turned to liquid that quickly evaporated into the sky.

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

My poor Sacer, they tricked you into believing you were an angel. I was there the day you were born; from the ashes of our master's torn wings you arose like a god. I smiled at his creation, his weapon against the devious angels. You alone defeated Fenrir in his original form, a beast even the devil feared to tame. Yet you drug the wolf in by his jaw, I was amazed you had lived at all.

Shut up! Shut up! I don't want to hear this!

The devil was threatened by your strength and tore one of your wings from you. However, you fled from us, only to return as a false angel. It took all four of us to bring you down and even then you averted to human form. That was when I tried to remind you of your real form.

Fortuna! Guardian! Help me!

And if I have no interest in meeting them? He thought back as he just kept enfolding himself each time the tattoos put in an appearence.

The white tattoo's glowed more ferociously than before as a burning pain went throughout Morph's body. The voice in his head then replied, They will FORCE you to come !

Guardian watched as Mazosi attempted to finish off Guardian. Not that he would...Guardian's sword was ready to appear and finish off the fight as soon as the demon got close...but he didn't have the chance. The creature just disappeared.

"Perhaps next time you will realize the errors of your ways," Guardian called out, unsure if he heard him or not.

Suddenly, he could hear Sacer's voice ringing out for help. Immediately, the Angel of Law leapt into the sky, his wings just finished with their healing.

Sacer, where are you? he thought as he glided low to the ground in search of the two.

If they want to talk so much, then why don't they come see me. I didn't ask for you annoying whatever you are to come bouncing around my skull. He thought back, But I suppose if I mean that much to them, I can send a body-double.

The pain was painful but nothing compared to the pains he'd suffered when Sean went throught the process to become Morph, and again the tattoos were folded under.

OOC: Dia wouldn't be able to blow up the world. No matter how much power a person has without control it is nothing. I want to talk to you about Dia's powers by the way Hype. Would you rather me TG you or can we just do it here in the OOC thread?
ooc: Sure she could... She is getting control over her powers... which you agreed to by the way... OOC thread or TG is fine. Just let me know if it's TG.

Fortuna heard Sacer calling. "Sacer, do not listen, he is trying to trick you by telling you lies! You were with us from the beginning, and getting you on their side would help them greatly. Do not believe a word he says! Never. He is a master of illusion. Remember that! You have always been with us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diaphanous looked up at Enertro... "You have got to be kidding." She pouted. "You are such a tease Enertro!" Diaphanous continued to pout.

Enertro smiled and thought up a new trick to get their experience more pleasurable and wanting...

He had not tried it in such a way before, but it wouldn't hurt if it didn't work...

Dia, I'm going to attempt something that may tickle your fantasies, thought Enertro with a broad smile as he brought his lips to hers, giving her a passionate kiss. But only if you'll let me.

He began to gently play with her energy, giving her a tiny spike of energy...

He smiled to see if it had much of an affect.

Sacer closed his eyes and covered his ears.

"I don't wanna be here! I don't wanna be here! I don't wanna be here!" He cried repeatedly knowing to some extend what Alucard was saying, was true.

I was always an angel, always, always! Just stop telling me these things! Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!

Alucard edged closer to the angel on the scarlet soil of hell smiling.

"Oh poor Sacer, the truth hurts so much, but living in a lie would contradict being an angel." The vampire said running his hand along the angel's face. "It's not fair that they lie to you. It's not fair at all."

Slowly the one winged angel stood to his feet holding the demon's hand against his face. In a flash, his ivory form turn deep black. Once beautiful long white hair now darker than the night. His eyes burned a crimson red that matched the background. Alucard grinned revealing his fangs.

"You see the truth now don't you?" He said softly.

"Yes." The angel growled before clutching onto the demon's throat with immeasurable power. Barbed wire and chains sprung from the angel and tore the freak's limbs clean off.

"I...I don't understand." Alucard gasped. "Why won't my magic affect you."

Sacer continued to grin as his prey's eyes shot out of his head from the pressure. Dropping the half dead demon he tore his way back to Earth.

If they want to talk so much, then why don't they come see me. I didn't ask for you annoying whatever you are to come bouncing around my skull. He thought back, But I suppose if I mean that much to them, I can send a body-double.

The pain was painful but nothing compared to the pains he'd suffered when Sean went throught the process to become Morph, and again the tattoos were folded under.

The pain receded in Morph. The voice replied, Stop being stubborn. Just come to the Great Wall and unlock your true potential. The voice left Morph alone.

I have things I'd much prefere doing than running errands to China. He thought back, But if it means so very much to you...

A few days later, after disposing of the body, and forming a clone that serve as him, with anything major being able to direct if necessary, an altered James travelled to China and from there to the Great Wall.

Prism had been at the Wall for awhile now. He had lost track of time. He felt like the main character of The Wall, stuck here without a purpose. Then a see someone. He laid low, waiting to see who it was.

"Enertro!" Diaphanous gasped. "What are you...?'' She softly moaned, and kissed him passionately as her desire increased even more. "Again, my love, whatever you did..." she sighed with pleasure.

Enertro laughed. "I dunno...I think I may have to go," he continued to tease, but this time gave her an even greater spike of energy.

He wished he thought of this earlier...it would have made already amazing nights into even greater ones...

He kissed Diaphanous passionately, giving her a long burst of the energy spikes as he did so.

Diaphanous moaned loudly, and was nearly hyperventilating from the unbelievable pleasure. She was beginning to thrash around a bit underneath him. "Oh... Enertro... this... is amazing!" She gasped, as she grabbed his head and kissed him deeply and passionately, hungering for him like she never had before.

James, now looking for all the world like a generic Chinese citizen walked passed Prism before hearing a bird chirp and pausing to look back, where he spotted him. Raising an eyebrow at the tattoo, he asked, "When did you get that Prism?"

Surprised, Prism got up. "It's a Pink Floyd shirt. They're my favorite band. I've based my life on them. Ever hear of them?"

Enertro laughed as he continued to undress Diaphanous, kissing her all the while, while giving her small spurts of the blissful energy.

When she was finally naked, he took off his own clothes and let his body move along hers, feeling every shape and contour of her incredibly perfect body.

"Tell me when you want me to see how much we can go for," he gasped as he kissed all along her body.

"Only as a poor quality sixties band." He replied

Prism rolled his eyes. "Hey, so there sixties suff wasn't that good, but their seventies stuff was the golden age of rock. Who are you any way? And what do you listen to?"

"I think I like this a little better." Sacer said grinding a stone to dust in his palm. The dark angel didn't want to change back, he was stronger mentally and physically. Normally he is a coward, indecisive, and helpless. However, that was all going to change.

"Guardian, Fortuna! Did you take care of Masozi and get the spear back?" His voice boomed over the mountainous terrain as his dark form trudged through the snow dragging a cloak of rusted chains and wire.

"I am just a common man by the name of Ming. I listen to the classics." He replied

"And by classics do you mean classic rock or classic like Mozart or Bach?"

"Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov." He replied

"All right Enertro," Diaphanous responded breathlessly, difficult as it was. She continued to moan, and caressed his hard muscular body. "The intermittant electric jolts were amazing.

OOC: Is that the real Morph or clone Morph?

IC: Wood pulled back his hood and looked down the wall towards the new incarnations of Water and Fire. Wood looked at Metal who was standing in between him and Earth and said, "Fire and Water never got along well did they." Metal replied, "No, they didn't but they always make things more interesting. I wonder how these two new bodies will perform for them. Adish and Nin's bodies were starting to become old." Earth nodded her head under the cloak. Wood look at the two female avatars and said, "Perhaps we should greet our new brothers." Earth said, "Sure, whatever." They began walking down the wall towards the two men.

"It appears we have visitors Prism." He commented as he noticed the three approaching.

ooc: Real, the clone's back in Katigasnia

OOC: Gotcha

IC: As they got closer they all took off their hoods. Standing in front of Prism and Morph was Mr. Bellis. Mr. Bellis smiled and said, "Well isn't this a coincidence. How are you doing Prism and Morph? Haven't seen you since Mexico. Who would have thought you would be joining my clan after that big brawl you two had down there. Morph I do believe you lost that one right. Well you two will only have to fight one more time. After that you two will be allies until you die." Mr. Bellis looked at the two of them slyly.

"Masozi Disappeared," Guardian called out as he glanced at Sacer...who seemed to be dragging chains...

"Sacer?" Fortuna said. "What did you just do?"

"I believe you are mistaken good sir, I am not Morph." The asian man replied looking at the man and two woman.

ooc: What do they look like(the woman I mean)?

"Ok, my love," Enertro smiled as he kissed Diaphanous long and hard. With it, the energy increased greatly.

He continued to raise energy as their intimacy climbed, so much so, he could definately feel it within Diaphanous, who seemed to enjoy it greatly. Enertro couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at Enertro?" Diaphanous gasped. She kissed him passionately and deeply and could not let go of him.

"Just admiring my handiwork and your beauty," he replied in gasps, his hands constantly rubbing up and down her body.

He could barely even pull his mouth away from hers as he continuosly kissed her.

"I believe you are mistaken good sir, I am not Morph." The asian man replied looking at the man and two woman.

ooc: What do they look like(the woman I mean)?


OOC: They are all robed with there hoods. The women are both attractive. Earth is from African descent while, Metal is from Chinese descent.

IC: Metal looked at the asian man and replied, "Water we can see straight through you. We knew when you exactly entered China and that you have a clone back in Katigasnia. Don't try and trick us.

Earth then walked over to Morph and asked, "Why do you continue to deny your clan by hiding your tattoos. The more and more you hide them the more difficult it will be make them disappear. There might be a timie when you will really need to and you won't be able to do it then."

Wood smiled at them and said, "So how was your duels with Nin and Adish? I can see that you won."

"Because it is ugly and unwanted, do you need a better reason?" He asked, "I never asked for it, and really the only thing I'd like from you is knowladge of how to get rid of it."

"How do you think it went?" He asked with a sarcastic bite to his voice.

"I can see that you won," Bellis replied with a snarl. He then said, "You don't realize how much power you have in you now that you have the Blue Spirit of China in you. You have control of water in nearly all forms now. Your potential is limitless right about now. And with your previous abilities you don't know what you could do."

Metal looked at Prism and said, "It seems like he is a little bit more greatful for his new powers." She looked at Morph and said, "It is just that one."

Arthur went into a deep sleep. He could feel the coldness. In his mind the dream started. There was so much pain and he felt so weak. If he ever came out of this prison he would try to reform. It wasn't for the Flashes or Omino. It would be for Candace. If he didn't bring her into this she wouldn't be dead. Arthur would become Kid Flash again and the greatest superhero. First he would need to train his light powers with Omino.

"Did you really expect me to be grateful, you sent someone to try and kill me, and when I beat him I get stuck with a gibbering spirit and a pair of butt-ugly tattoos?" He asked with a scowl.

From what I remember you barely beat me in Adish's body, the blue spirit spoke into Morph's head. Adish was starting to become a little cocky. I was tired of him anyway.

Wood replied, "You will realize soon that those tattoos were the best things that ever happened to you. Especially once you begin using your new powers."

"Sacer?" Fortuna said. "What did you just do?"

A slight grin drew across his lips as he held out his palm holding Alucard's crimson eyes. The two body parts wiggled around before the dark angel crushed them with a sickening noise that raked one's ears.

"I had some fun." He said flinging the white and red puddle into the snow before turning to Guardian with a frown. "Perhaps if you didn't talk so much while fighting he wouldn't have gotten away. Next time take his damn head and gut him open without saying a word."

"I tried to slice him to pieces Sacer. What makes you think Guardian can do it?" Fortuna asked.

"I'm just saying rather than spending time preaching to demons, perhaps it would be wiser to simply kill them." Sacer said grinning. "Did I just catch you implying that you are stronger than Guardian here?"

His cloak rattled as his massive black wing shot out to the side.

"Alucard and Masozi are going to stay in the shadows and wait for us to make our move." The dark angel claimed while eyeing the massive indent where Masozi had fallen.

Fenrir slid in and Athena jumped off his back, she ran towards him to jump into his arms, but shyed away seeing his horrific form.

"Sacer...you ok?" She whimpered lowering her massive cannon.

"Not at all." Replied Fortuna. "What I am saying is that if I was slicing him to ribbons at nearly light speed, and it did nothing, how will it do anything if Guardian did it?" She asked Sacer.

After hearing Athena, she mentioned to Sacer... "Yes Sacer, you are looking a bit... off, to say the least. And again, do not listen to them. I would hate to see them trick you again. You know how Alucard is. Do not fall for it. You were not created in hell. You were made one of the three of us." Fortuna pointed to herself and Guardian and Sacer.

"Sorry it just sounded a tad condesending." Sacer replied still smiling slightly. "I feel...better, never before have I felt so good."

He lowered his head a little.

"Even if Alucard is right, even if I was born of fire and darkness...I am who I want myself to be and nothing else. I know who my allies are and I know they are not it. It does not matter what I was born because I can guide my own fate." The angel said thinking of everything the vampire lord had ever told him.

Fenrir inched closer with his head sniffing the ground around Sacer before walking over to Fortuna circling around her legs rubbing against them.

We have to keep a close eye on him Fortuna, I don't like this at all.

"Wait, your Morph? Didn't I kill you? And who are you three? What the hell's going on here? Explain something to me!!!" Prism was completely confused. Who where these people, and what did they want with him? "ALright, so I got a whole lot stronger. I know that. Now why are you three here?" Prism remebered Mr. Bellis from Mexico. He always thought he was a lackey for Omnio. Looks like he was wrong. The other to were quite attractive. Prism usuaally didn't care about women's looks, it had kept him from falling into relationships, but he couldn't help but notice Metal. He shook the image from his mind and continued questioning.

"That I am my pyroclastic rival." He replied, "And as they say in the movies, reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated."

"Rival? Oh crap, your not still pissed are you? I had no clue what was going on, I was a bit insane, and now that your water and I'm fire you have an advantage over me. So please, don't call me rival Besides, I'm just as irratated as you are with these three."

"A rival is not necessarily a bad thing." He replied, "Now an enemy on the other hand..."

Metal stepped forward and said, "Believe me Water doesn't always destroy Fire. Sometimes it makes it more ferocious." Wood stepped forward and said, "You two have been selected by the Spirits of Fire and Water. For some reason they wanted new bodies and they selected you. They had Adish and Nin fight you first to see how strong and smart you really were. You should feel blessed to wear the marks of my Clan. We must have our revenge and you will help us do it."

"Oh, and what makes you think I won't tell you to sit on a screw and spin?" James asked

Mr. Bellis smiled and said, "You will die instantly. That spirit that gives you the power of water is now bound to your soul. If you reject the clan, the spirit will reject you and leave. It will take your soul along with it."

Wooshaba']Mr. Bellis smiled and said, "You will die instantly. That spirit that gives you the power of water is now bound to your soul. If you reject the clan, the spirit will reject you and leave. It will take your soul along with it."

"Ohh for God's sake! I didn't ask for this! I just had a frickin' divine intervention to change my life, and now I have to help you? What revenge?"

"Who said anything about rejecting your clan?" He asked, "I'm just talking about ignoring your petty desires for revenge. Also what makes you think you need a soul to live?"

Bellis looked at Morph and laughed. "You wouldn't live without a soul my friend. Your body might keep moving and your mind might keep thinking, but believe me you won't be living. You will be in the worse place in your life."

Metal looked at Prism and said, "Long ago my ancestors were hung from this very wall. They were the original element tamers unlike like that all-power consuming men call Omnikinetics. Those who sought to master all elements. The ancestor of the man you call Omino destroyed our ancestors and our ancestors want to settle there vendetta. We wish to destroy Omino just like his ancestor destroyed us."

All of their tattoo's began to glow a brilliant white. Earth chimed in, "It is our duty to destroy that man. He will pay for his ancestor's crime."

"Omnio's the strongest being on Earth almost!!!!! And, what happens after that? Do I ever get a say it what's going on?"

OOC: Man I wish I wasn't leaving. Arthur could fight along side Omino against this people.

Metal looked at Prism with a disgusted look. "Omino is not one of the most powerful beings on the Earth. Our ancestors in their hayday could destroy mountains, make tornadoes and hurricanes that could last for a month, wildfires that set ocean ablaze and make trees so tall that they touch the glorious moon. It is your duty and mine to settle that score." Wood smiled and said "Very well put Kindra." She smiled and said, "Thank you, Kenelm." Earth stepped forward and said, "Now what is your true names. We don't won't to call you Morph and Prism all of the time."

Prism shook his head. "You still didn't answer my question. What do we do after Omnio?"

OOC: Yep Arthur sure could. Too late now.

IC:

Wood looked at him and said, "We will live ours lives normally after our task is done. We will keep our abilities and use them as we see fit until we die."

"Sooooo... no crazy death and destruction? No world domination? Because if we do, I'm out. I've just been to hell and back, and I'd like to stay out of there for good."

Mr. Bellis looked at the Fire Avatar and said, "No world domination. Just forceful guidance." He began walking down the wall towards a tower. The two females followed him.

OOC: Wait what are the all the elements or avatars?

"What the hell does forceful guidance mean? My god this is so messed up. I'm going to need some serious help." Prism followed the three, hoping to get answers. Not like he had anything else to do. He thought to Sabbath. Get out of here. Now. You might be in danger. Go to Australia and tell everyone I might not come back, and it's not my choice.

The fire spirit spoke to Prism. Hey don't go contacting random people like that. It's not very nice. It sorta makes me queasy.

OOC: Metal, Fire, Wood, Water, Earth

To late buddy. I just told them to leave and tell people they might never see me again. I want answers. What is forced guidance? How old are these people? And who do you thing you are telling me what to do with my god damn body?

A strong stinging sensation went through Prism's body. It was strong enough to bring him to his knees. The spirit then spoke, I do believe it is our body now. The pain slowly receded.

Metal looked back and said to Earth, "It looks like he went against his spirit." Earth smiled and said, "I remember the first time I did that." They continued walking towards the tower.

OOC: I have to get off. We will continue this tomorrow.

Prism roared in anger and pain. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Why are you doing this? I just want answers. Just tell me what you want with me and I'll help you kill Omnio. Then I can go on living with my life. All I want are some answers.

"Well it sucks to be them then." James commented, "I'm sure they got what was comming to them."

"You can destroy him if you want, but unlike you silly nutters, I don't follow the philosophy of Sins of the Father. As to my name, if you don't want to call me Morph, then leave me out of your crazyness." He replied

"Sacer, you must always give someone the time to repent...that is what I am for. Redemption. Surely you knew that?" Guardian replied as he watched Sacer carefully. He reminded the Angel of Law of the one-winged angel's old self. And that wasn't a good thing...

"Giving a demon time to repent is wasted time." Sacer growled. "Ideally everyone deserves an equal chance, but in a close fight it will only put you at a disadvantage."

He turned an angry eye towards Athena.

"I told you to stay away!" He barked at the fragile woman. "You will only get in the way if Alucard ever returns. which he will."

"Calm down Sacer, she just-" Fenrir was interrupted by a vicious strike from the angel. The wolf was sent tumbling for hundreds of feet before he snapped to his base snarling.

"You almost got her killed and jepordized everything by bringing her to this kind of battle." Sacer growled while aiming his strangely long blade at his companion.

"Sacer! Control your anger!" Guardian barked as his wings were about to wrap around Sacer's arms.

"They were looking out for you, as mortals do. You of all people should know that, having been a mortal. It was foolish of them, but that is how they think."

The dark angel twitched about to cut through Guardian's strange transparent wings, but he pulled back evaporating the long blade.

"Fine!" He shouted gritting his teeth staring down the large canine.

She was almost hurt again...because of me it almost happened again.

"We should plan for our next move. Any ideas anyone?" The angel asked with a weakened tone in his voice.

------------------
--Hell--
Alucard tore his arm clean through Masozi's chest grabbing the now blackened spear. The rest of the demon followed through to behind the serpant like monster.

"You bastard!" Masozi gasped falling to a knee. "I saved you with that, it's mine!"

"No, you couldn't even defeat one angel, you are a waste of its power." Alucard growled while absorbing the spear. "You are mine and no one elses."

"Well, I would suggest making sure you are alright," Guardian said, as emotionless as ever. "Afterwards, perhaps we should investigate the disturbance I felt earlier...some sort of demon somewhere in Australia."

"I'm fine!" Sacer barked at Guardian. "I hate when people worry about me."

Sitting in the snow, indian style, the one winged angel focused as his black wing wrapped around his body. He could hear the pain and anguish of the suffered kind, The malice that twisted their wretched hearts, and the wrath that earned them the title of demon.

"There's traces of something otherworldly in Australia, we should head there soon before it vanishes." The dark angel said shaking his head at Athena.

Drake followed Starfire. For once in his life, he was actually looking forwards to something, namely, seeing the Watch Tower.

OOC: There are three very bad angels who need to repent for using such foul language. :( :p

IC: The fire spirit replied, That is what we are going to do. The fire spirit then said to the water spirit, Yours is very rebellious. The water spirit replied, Mine always are. He will get used to the situation. If he doesn't he will die.

Wood turned around and said, "I am now going to reveal to you the history of our clan. Our heritage." He walked into the tower.

ooc: Hey! I pride myself in never having said a swear! And Guardian has yet to swear ;)

"We look after you, Sacer. We cannot help but notice and wonder about this form you have chosen," Guardian replied back. "Not to mention your recent outburst. We do not want to lose you again..."

"Then we should begin looking for this 'otherworldly' presence," Guardian replied when Sacer explained what to do next.

ooc: wow, well i pride myself in beating up neeeerrrrdddss!...totally not irrelevent.

"Oh yes because the perfect angels never make mistakes, their logic and wisedom is undeniable. The perfect little blank soldiers of god; do me a favor and keep your concern to yourself." He barked while standing.

"Sacer..." Athena said slowly approaching without her weapon. "You don't have to act like this, the demons are gone. You can put your guard down, please."

"Let us angels find and destroy this threat before it gets any worse. Alucard and Masozi should recover in a few days." The one wigned angel said still dawning an aggressive expression.

"You do that, but I'll be off, as it ain't my heritage and I could give a rat's ass about your silly revenge scheme. " He replied as he began walking toward where he'd come from, away from the tower.

"Sacer, watch yourself. As angels we act as brethren. You should know that as well," Guardian replied.

"Let us not waste anymore time with this foolishness..."

"I'm sorry to question the angel's perfect unity. After all, every angel obeyed orders." Sacer said lowering himself for take off. "Even the Mourning Star."

The ground cratered below the immense power of the angel's power as Sacer shot high into the clouds, which parted into a perfect circle.

Guardian prepared himself to take off after Sacer, but instead, turned around to Fenrir and Athena. "Humans...go home. You are in too much danger when dealing with things like this."

"Please, make sure he doesn't do anyhting stupid." Athena said smiling at the Guardian watching him fly after the dark angel.

Flicking her white hair back she gave Fenrir a provactive look.

"Ya know, if Sacer ever leaves us...guardian is kinda handsome." She said giggling as Fenrir shook his head trotting away.

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

Come on Guardian, you'll have to keep up with me.

Sacer's speed quaked the skies as he shattered the sound barrier repeatedly. The dull grey clouds tore apart while the angel speeded his way across Europe.

Guardian took off into the air, his heavenly wings twisting in on each other until they vaguely formed the shape of dove wings. Then, with a final glow of pure white, they were formed into the typical wings of angels, broad, pure, and magestic.

Not to mention, faster...

With a great push with his wings, he sped off after Sacer, keeping himself withing eye distance of the strange-acting angel.

What did Alucard do to you again? he wondered to himself as he kept his eyes on the angel in front of him.

Sacer spun around keeping his speed.

"You were stronger back then, before you lost your wing." Alucard's words rung through his head.

Why does everyone, in both heaven and hell try to suppress me. Niether side wants to see me at my strongest...even my two closest allies are afraid of this..- power.

"You'll never keep up with me at that size Guardian, too much air resistance." He shouted back to the gaining angel before a mighty boom of his wing shot the one winged angel forward at unparalleled speeds.

Underneath the shadows of his robes, Guardian smiled. He enjoyed flying greatly, and was greatful for whoever rang the bell to get him his wings.

And he had completely forgotton about his current size. His armor shifted slightly as he shrunk back to his normal dimensions, speeding off faster now. Much faster than before...

"Not bad Guardian, I do say you learn very quickly." He yelled back smiling. "Now here's something else to make you quicker."

The angel wrapped his wing around his body beginning to spin; slowly at first but into a blinding whirlwind that looked like a bullet shooting through the sky. Unravelling he pushed up high into the atmosphere before diving almost on top of the angel pursuing him. Pulling up just inches over the desert of China he moved nearly three times as fast as before.

It must be nice to be him; to know where you stand and where exactly you are going. It must be...-nice

Waves of sand on both sides followed half a mile behind Sacer.

"It is a useful skill," he called back in response to the other angel's comment of learning fast. He watched Sacer take off again with an impressive display of flight.

Guardian took himself straight upwards this time, his wings once again unraveling into their tendril forms, as the angel took himself as high as Sacer, before diving down, letting his wings wrap around him in a barrier of energy, attempting to create an incredibly aerodynamic form around the angel.

"Not bad Guardian." Sacer said laughing as the angel had caught up to him. "But old school can never lose."

The angel leaned his hands forward creating a drag that pulled him behind Guardian. His long blade extended out and with a swift slice he was gone.

Have you ever heard of Slipspace Guardian? A voice called out from nearby Australia.

No, I have not, Guardian replied as he continued speeding towards Australia.

ooc: haha you fail at the Internet.

It is quite impossible to describe, but the laws of physics do not abide in slipspace. It is the area between the membranes of the 11th dimension that also created this universe.

Sacer saw the Guardian soaring in hundreds of miles away and smiled slightly.

Keep in mind to enter Slipspace is troublsome and risky, and exitting is no picnic either. Then to move accurately is immpossible. I actually ended up 657 miles west of where I wanted to and that was my best landing ever so to speak.

Fortuna was already over Australia waiting for the 'slowpokes'. Being able to travel ethereally was an advantage. She reformed and waited for the other two.

She could not help but worry about Sacer. His anger. Fortuna decided she would later find Athena and have her tell her everything about Alucard.

Fortuna did not like that Sacer was so obsessed with power. Realizing you are not all powerful is a power in itself. Only He was all powerful.

She soon realized tears were falling down her face. Miles below, exotic white flowers began to show up between the cracks in sidewalks, as those walking down those sidewalks were stunned at the beautiful flowers that came from nowhere. Pedestrians picked the flowers and marveled at them.

Little did they know they were holding angel tears.

Sacer did not like travelling through Slipspace much, the first time he had done it the poor angel ended up 46,970 miles from Earth just trying to go 10 feet. The second time he was buried 18 miles under the crust of the planet.

Flexing his hand he began to feel cold inside, like a piece of him was missing. He didn't share the same joy and purity that the other angels did, but he certainly didn't feel the same maniacle hatred as the demons.

The only place that felt like home was as a human, why is that?

When the chance hits me, I just enfold myself and appear elsewhere Guardian thought back as he continued to soar to the other two.

Slipspace does seem interesting, however...

Then, he noticed Fortuna was crying in the distance. "Fortuna, why do you cry?"

Sacer drifted closer to where he could hear Fortuna crying.

"It hurts to feel so helpless, does it not?" He said before wrapping his arms around her. "It's even worse when you're human..."

"You do that, but I'll be off, as it ain't my heritage and I could give a rat's ass about your silly revenge scheme. " He replied as he began walking toward where he'd come from, away from the tower.

Before Morph could move three feet the spirit entered his spine. The spirit then spoke, I do believe this is where I can paralyze substantially. The spirit released a crushing pain throughout Morph's spine. I do believe I continue doing this you won't be able to use your legs. Even with your natural powers. Morph's eyes glowed blue as the pain the spirit unleashed coursed throughout his body. The spirit then spoke to him. I do not wish to hurt you, but you must listen. If you don't you will die. There is no way of avoiding it.

Fine, I'll listen, but that doesn't mean I'll pay attention. Oh and for the record, His spine liquified as it was absorbed into his body before reconstituting, I don't need a spine, nor in fact any other bone.

"It is not that... a feeling of helplessness." Fortuna answered. "It is that people must realize that more and more power is not the answer."

She looked up at Sacer. "Do not be confused. When our work is done, you will return to your human form and continue your human life." Fortuna smiled at Sacer. She radiated light.

"We are all seeking a higher power to better ourselves, from the virus' to the highest of angels. Not a creature except for god denies that law: The will to power." He said softly. "I want the power to destroy my foes so that one day humans can rest easily without fear of a divine force taking their families from them."

"You wish to destroy God?" Fortuna looked at him wide-eyed! "Everybody dies. I think the search for contentment is what most people want."

"No..what? No..NO!" Sacer said wondering where Fortuna got that idea. "No one does not search for fufillment, even we are vulnerable to that."

The angel of Fortune had a way of calming him, it was her embrace that saved him from the Fallen Angel.

"Fulfillment brings contentment. Power for it's own sake does not. Power to crush everything does not. Think of how you felt on the island with Athena. You were content, were you not?" Fortuna asked Sacer.

"Part of me still felt vulnerable like a danger was lingering in the shadows waiting for us to put our guard down." He replied frowning a little. "I just want enough power to end this war between good and evil, we've all been fighting so long."

"Sacer," Fortuna took his hands gently and looked him in the eyes soothingly. "This war between good and evil never ends. It is the chaos the keeps equalibrium. We are all vulnerable. The teeter-totter, will always tip back and forth. It is the way it always has been and always will be."

Fortuna looked at him and held him, trying to soothe him. "If everything remained at a constant, there would be no life at all, for any beings. Our job is to keep the worst of the worst in their place, but we cannot do it all, nor are we supposed to. Do not put the fate of the world on your shoulders."

She let go of him and smiled. "You cannot live life waiting for the next disaster... for you are not living, but merely existing." Fortuna explained.

"This is our job, and we make the best of it and do the best we can. Please do not try to do more than you need to. Someday, there will be a balance, however, we cannot force that balance, and it may not even reside on this planet.

"You know you can come and talk to me any time you want, and do not think I do not understand. I have to watch what fate I bestow on those I do not even know... some of it quite bad... that is also to keep close to balance. Do not try to achieve balance yourself. It is beyond us, as frustrating as this is to you and to all of us."

Prism watched as Morph struggled with pain, then relaxed calmly. This is so messed up. Ohh well, as long as everything goes smooth, I'll get something out of this. Once again Prism thoughts turned to Metal. He once again shook the thoughts out of his mind. He couldn't help but notice her, but Prism was good at getting things out off his mind. He couldn'y help but wonder if the spirit was up to this.

Fire spoke to Prism. Looks like you have something for the vixen of Metal. I always had something for Metal. She is a feminine spirit you know. She and I used to be quite close until Wood started messing up things. Well you know how that goes. Fire didn't really have anything else to say. He sat back and let Prism do the walking.

Water spoke to Morph. You are a crafty one. That is why I chose you. I hope that you will get used to this eventually because you can live without bones but you cannot live without your mind. A small shock of pain occurred of the Morph's neck. Water then said, Just go to this meeting. You might find out something interesting there.

Doubtful but possibly. What would happen if this body died and no one killed me? He thought at the annoying spirit.

I would simply find a new vessel. Perhaps a family member of yours. Abilities sometimes run in the family. The old spirit replied.

So you wouldn't simply cease to be? He mentally asked, while thinking on a different level, Rats

Also, I can quite certainly guarantee that no one in my family has my abilities.

The blue spirit replied, Aw that sucks. I don't know if there are any other worthy candidates then whose body I could take. The spirit didn't say anything for a while and then he replied, I would have to take someone young. Children are always easier to take over than adults. They aren't nearly as stubborn.

You're sick, you know that? He thought before saying outloud. "Hey Woody, mind telling us your silly revenge scheme so we can leave and get on with out lives?"

The water spirit laughed maliciously inside of his head. Not really sick. Just smart. Mr. Bellis turned around and glared at Morph. "Once we reach the tower then we will talk. The tower is about a mile away. Unless you have a way of propelling us there then don't rush me." Wood continued walking to the Tower.

"Alright." He commented with a smirk as he walked up to Wood, and went to picked him up so he could launched him overhead to the tower. He knew he'd be able to get him at least most of the way there.

The spirit of Wood went spoke to Bellis. Superstrength, huh? That is very useful. Too bad you don't have it. Bellis replied, You know I don't need it old friend. As Bellis neared the ground his legs turned into tree trunks and crashed into the wall. Bellis was about 500 feet above the ground when he landed feet first. He then made the trees lower him. When he was at his normal height he yelled back to Morph, Get the other ones up here also.

Morph grinned as he repeated the process for the ladies, being sure not to get to touchy-feely, both as he disliked them for being part of the crazy cult, and he was married. He then added Prism to the airborne.

For himself he decided to try something he'd read in Journey to the West and attempted to conjure a flying cloud.

ooc: Think that cloud thingy in Dragonball.

Maybe the spirit is messing with me Prism thought to himself, but he waited for the spirit to respond. Then Morph flung him. Prism caught his balance in midair and shot lava at his feet. He mad a slide of lava for him to move on, shooting it in different directions to move. He moved to Morph. "Thanks man, but I can do this on my own." Then Prism moved to the tower to wait for the meeting.

OOC- What Prism is doing is a lava version of what Iceman does if I wasn't clear enough.

OOC: Adish never really shot lava out of his hands like Prism is doing. He just made the earth so hot that magma was produced. If you want to keep that power you can, but please don't use it on monuments. You could have just now destroyed part of Great Wall of China!!:p

IC: Metal and Earth landed right next Wood. The fire spirit enraged called out to the spirit, Control your vessel. The water spirit replied back, Cool down, Fire boy. Steam rose out of Prism's head.

He arrived about a minute later, putting along cloud. "So how about explianing now Woody." He said as he landed.

"I'm sorry if I may seem a little over zealous, but with Alucard and Masozi released I can't help but feel I am somehow responsible." He said lowering his head onto her shoulder. "It's hard to accept that there's a balance when I've seen first hand what they do."

He paused choking back his tears trying to suppress his painful memories.

"Masozi is stronger than what he is showing I can feel it. Something helped him to defeat his old master, but that force has remained completely invisible and it's driving me insane." Sacer said in a frustrated sob. "I hate them so much..."

Seeing Sacer's pain, Fortuna held him tighter and began to cry herself.

"Sacer, none of this is your fault in any way! Do not think that. Please!" Fortuna had tears running down her face, and the exotic white flowers began appearing out of the concrete in the city below.

"There is some way you can help me help you. There has to be a weak spot in all three of these demons.

"When you are up to it, but soon, tell me everything you know about Alucard, Masozi, and the one you are not sure about. Guardian should know as well. The more information all of us have, the better our chances are of getting rid of them for good." She explained.

Fortuna patted Sacer on the back, "I know how much they personally hurt you, and how much you hate them, but let us in on everything you know, and we will all have a better chance at dispatching them. For example, it was only after you told me that Alucard was a master of illusion that I knew he had you in an illusion and I could snap you out." Fortuna continued, "Every little piece of information on these bastards is helpful."

Fortuna held Sacer while she tried to console him.

"I've spent thousands of years beside Alucard and I still don't understand what his powers are exactly. Some of his tricks are illusions, others, are very real. Even in hell where his powers are more limited he came back, and then attached himself to me." Sacer's eyes brightened. "You were there when I had to kill myself to kill him, if it comes to that...I'll bind his soul to mine and end it."

He nodded his head again.

"I would gladly die to put him back where he belongs." Sacer said smiling. "Masozi is simple enough, he has a weakness to Ice and can be beaten withstandard tactics as Guardian demonstrated."

As the other two angels spoke above, Guardian had begun to search the nearby hotel. Rarely showing an emotion, Guardian was not suited to comforting others. Fortuna was more suited for that, considering she was more of a friendly and 'human' angel.

The hotel seemed quite damaged, the windows of one side were blasted apart, much to the worry of the angel. His wing tendrils hugged the inside of a room and brought Guardian inside, with the help of his shrinking. Once inside, he changed himself back to his large form. He explored the spacious room, when he finally got to the bed. He could see the outline of two people, holding each other close, yet they remained unmoving. The angel could not even hear a breath...albeit a small one, definately not enough for two.

His wing tendrils cautiously felt along the bed, before slowly pulling off the covers, revealing two bloodied corpses. A male and a female, husband and wife by the way they held each other.

Guardian felt along their bodies, detecting no signs of life. The glass projectiles killed them nearly instantly.

Without a word, Guardian looked to the side as one of his wing tendrils picked up a picture. It was one of the now dead couple, on each side of a giggling little girl. The framing had the words "Our love-filled family" written along the top.

Suddenly, a shuffling could be heard from behind him. He turned around immediately, in case it meant him some harm. But it was only a small girl. One that was in the picture.

"Are you the monster?" she whispered through tear filled eyes.

"No," he replied simply.

The little girl immediately ran to his side, putting her arms around his plated leg, sobbing intensely now. "Then you are an angel...please, save my parents..." she sobbed.

Guardian placed his giant gaunleted hand on the little girl. She must not understand that they are already dead...or perhaps she just doesn't want to accept that fact.

Diaphanous woke abruptly. She could sense Sacer.

"Enertro? Are you awake?" She asked as she shoved him back and forth.

"The angels are here... or at least Sacer is... he is the only one I can sense easily. It must have been because of that demon."

Diaphanous threw on a silk robe. "Enertro, do you mind if I call for Sacer to come down here? Ummm... you might want to put something on, if it is OK with you... or I can try to talk to him later. I have to admit, I am still quite exhuasted." Diaphanous layed back on the bed next to Enertro. "All your fault I may adde." She grinned slyly. "However, definitely worth it!

"Maybe we can sleep in a little longer, my love." She kissed Enertro lightly on the lips.

Sacer watched guardian proceed into the hotel and paused.

"Something isn't right, I have a feeling if we all go Alucard and Masozi might make their move." He claimed hovering over the building. "This doesn't feel right."

"Anything you wish, my love," Enertro laughed as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her gently. "They don't call me a criminal for nothing," he laughed as he playfully spiked her energy very slightly.

"If you want to speak with Sacer now, then I will get ready," he chuckled as he kissed her along the neck.

"Well, you have persuaded me to wait, darling." Diaphanous grinned and kissed Enertro passionately.

Masozi knelt before Alucard sobbing after the ruthless assualt the vampire laid upon him.

"What is your order, master?" The serpent asked.

"Tell Sacer I want to see him, we have much to discuss." The pale figure said turning his back to Masozi.

After a period of time, some wonderfully passionate, and some more time resting, Diaphanous asked if she should contact Sacer if she could manage.

"Something weird is going on around this planet. I have a feeling above and below as well... demons, Prism being taken to China and saying he might not come back. Something is rotten in the Milky Way... or however you say it.

"Enertro, my love," she smiled, rolled on top of him and kissed him. "What do you think? There is also the wardrobe issue... I do not think mine is that odd so much as my skin and hair, but I cannot do anything about that, but if you feel safer with your armor, you should wear it. After the last day, I sure would not blame you." Diaphanous said... then she grinned and started tickling Enertro... "Say you give!"

I could sense you wanting to talk to me Diaphanous. Sacer said grinning letting go of Fortuna. What can you tell me about the demon that was recently here, any bit of advice will help us because Alucard is back with an old friend of mine.

Masozi tore his way through the earth below and hovered just inches away from the two angels.

"Don't attack me, I come in peace!" Masozi begged as Sacer's blade stopped half an inch into his neck.

Enertro held a straight face as she began to tickle him. Before the sides of his smile curled up, and finally he began to laugh. "Enertro never gives!" he laughed as he brought his hands to her sides and began to tickle her back. "We'll see who gives first!" He gently rolled over her, now pinning her under him.

"I think I'll need to wear my armor if I'm under the threat of a tickle attack," he chuckled.

"Oh, Enertro!" Diaphanous exclaimed as a shocked look crossed her face. "I give... it is Sacer. He needs to know everything about the demon that was here."

Diaphanous proceeded to tell Sacer how the demon was raised by Prism and some sort of cultists, and the rest of the story.

They could not control it. Prism had come with the intention of killing Enertro, but all of us had to fight it, and literally, Prism had to go down to hell with it while we held a telepathic/telekinetic leash on him and pull him as hard as we could and bring him back out. The demon stayed down and Prism came up. Shortly thereafter Prism was called to China and did not know why... Bad Mojo... I am right am I not Sacer? Please someone tell me what is going on. I know it is not just here. It is in a country in Europe, it has been here, California, China, the way I can see it, and wherever all of you were. Many were killed in this hotel by this demon.

Alucard! Do not let him deceive or hurt you. I want to help you with him if I can. I hate him for what he has done to you! I am inside the hotel, where are you, I can reach you invisibly and see what is going on up there. I feel it...

"Enertro... bad Mojo bad Mojo." Diaphanous repeated with fear in her eyes. "I think we may be in for the fight of our lives." She sighed. "I would like to find Raven and get a little more training in prior to anymore problems if possible."

So the demon is gone? *sigh* I was hoping for a little fun while I was down here. You are under no circumstances to confront Alucard, I don't think you would stand a chance. His magic, or whatever he uses, is otherworldly even us angels are struggling to keep him at bay. If Prism is the one who summoned this demon...then he is punishable by holy judgement and his soul will become the devil's play thing.

Sacer stared at Masozi with the same blank stare and cold smile while his blade rested sideways in the demon's neck.

"Alucard took the spear Reave, I would recommend this; all I want is to be free but I keep getting imprisoned into slavery." The demon whimpered.

"You stay here with Fortuna, if you try to run she'll kill you, and in your weakened state...well you get the idea." He growled pulling his sword back.

The one winged angel dove into the nearby ocean, waiting for the transition to the other realm.

"Sacer NO!" Fortuna yelled... too late.

Xenix appeared next to Fortuna. "Nice job as bait Masozi... I would reccomend you not make a move."

Fortuna was ready to use some of the powers she did not use that often. She shapeshifted into Alucard while hypnotizing Masozi. Masozi was not as intelligent as Alucard. This with the hypnosis should work very well.

"Masozi, don't make a move. You have failed me too many times already. I won't allow one more. Stay right where you are until I tell you that you can move!" 'Alucard' glared at Masozi with piercing eyes.

"Master, I did what you told me to, please spare me!" He screamed reeling away from the horrid creature. Masozi knew that if Alucard had to move it was usually to beat one of his servants or kill someone.

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

Just as the angel's breath was falling short the water peeled away revealing the endless crimson sky he had grown accustom to. Just below him Alucard looked up smiling as Sacer fell from the 'sky'.

"Why have you called for me, most people I know don't invite death to their home." He growled as his cloak rattled violently.

"Dear Sacer, your anger is so awesome I just had to witness it myself." Alucard said teleporting behind the angel rubbing his cheek.

The one winged angel tore his hand clean off but the stub resembled its owners face.

"Temper, temper. I don't seek to fight you as much as I want you on my side." The demonic limb tempted.

Sacer felt the demon trying to dig into his mind but blocked it off with ease.

"Ah, you are stronger than I thought, excellent." The stub said as the angel tossed it away. In air Alucard quickly reformed from the missing limb; behind Sacer a gun cocked revealing the other vampire.

"I came here to fight, you brought me here knowing it; what are your intentions?" The holy figure asked splitting his sword in two and holding up to both their throats with lightning speed.

"The world dear Sacer, the world." Alucard said as another battle between the two errupted.

"You will be spared as long as you remain still until I tell you that you can move!" 'Alucard' spat out venomously. "Come back and stay where you were and do not move! I have plans, and you must stay put in order for me to complete them! If you ruin my plan, you will be far more than sorry." 'Alucard' laughed evilly, while staring down Masozi.

Haze and the others arrived at the Watchtower. They would summon Diaphanous and Enertro later. Nightwing looked at Drake and said, "Welcome to the Watchtower, home of NJLU." Nightwing began to walk towards his room in the space station.

Enertro's wide smile slowly dissapated as he sat back. Darn... he thought to himself.

"Well...it blasted apart the windows on one side of the hotel...it was after me...Prism summoned it..." Enertro said as his mind drifted to the traitorous worm. His fists clenched tightly as he felt his good mood die much faster than his smile.

"Please forgive him Enertro. He was brain damaged. He did not even remember who I was. In addition, something is happening in China involving him, and I have ... guess... I feel the bad Mojo. It is horrible.

"Enertro, Raven has taught me so much in such a short time... part of it is forgiveness, although he may have started something that is going to be difficult to stop... with those others.

"I know how hard this is for you, but you will gain more energy if you forgive him. Just this one time. I know it is not your style, and I still have rage issues, but Raven showed me that control over emotions can make you so much stronger and focused. I am just saying; do not waste your time on vengeance." Diaphanous held Enertro. "We always have each other, my love, always. That is the most important thing. We will have our island paradise back. Perhaps a different island... we have the money." She kissed Enertro lightly on the lips... "Look forward to our quiet paradise which we will have again. Personally I cannot wait!" She grinned.

"Of course, being interrupted at such moments is frustrating." Diaphanous grinned at Enertro. "However, at least my tickle torture is over! I am sure I will resume yours when you least expect it, darling." She chuckled.

I am going to try to reach Prism telepathically. I want to know why he was summoned to China and thinks he may not be back.

Diaphanous focused in on Prism's mind.

Prism, are you OK? I am worried about you?

Dia... "Leave his mind or I shall end his life, we are one now."

"Oh my God! Enertro, someone else inhabits his body! A spirit or something, they are melded together now and it kicked me out of Prism! I have to tell Haze!"

Diaphanous focused in on Haze and easily picked him up.

Haze, it is Diaphanous. Something very strange is happening in China. I just tried to reach Prism telepathically, and another being melded into him kicked me out and said that if I tried to contact Prism again, he would kill him! There is something else in Prism now! He must have been called to China for that reason. I do not know what or why, but I got a sense of extreme heat.

I knew you would want to know about this.

Diaphanous looked at Enertro and told him what happened. "I think Prism is now extremely powerful, but is not under his own control exactly." She flopped down on the bed, exhausted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fortuna was wondering how long she would have to keep the form of Alucard. She did not want to do this all day, and wanted Sacer to get back immediately. She sent a direct telepathic message, one that could not be intercepted, to Sacer, telling him to get back and deal with Masozi.

OOC: Just a heads up all five of the spirits are my characters. Each one had different personalities and things like that. Like Hype showed before if anyone tries to read his mind or talk telepathically to him the spirit will kick you out.

IC: They were now out side of the door. On the old door there was an seal. Wood looked at Morph and said, "If you hadn't come we would not have been able to get in." Underneath the the seal seemed to be five hand prints. Wood, Metal and Earth all put there hands on the last three. The other two were left for Fire and Water. Metal smiled at Fire and said, "Come on. We need to get inside."

=============================================================

Haze received her message. In China, huh? Maybe we should wait and see what happens. I'll try to see what is happening down there that is so strange. He broke off the connection and went to his computer to see if anything strange was happening in China. All the others were standing around talking. Starfire looked at Drake and said, "So what do you think of the Watchtower?"

Enertro closed his eyes and sighed deeply. "I don't think I could ever forgive him..." he growled. "And I hope he dies with whatever is in China..."

As Diaphanous wrapped her hands around him and kissed him on the lips, he visibly relaxed. "Yes it is...as long as I have you, my life is perfect," he whispered.

"Whenever, whereever, my love, I'll be ready," he laughed. "Just remember, every tickle attack will be met with retaliation!"

As the subject of Prism was brought up again, he growled as he laid down.

"No matter how powerful Prism may get, I'll still be able to kill him," Enertro growled. "And if we ever see each other again...I will kill him."

"Enertro, promise me you will not try to do anything to Prism. You must promise me! There is a force inside him of tremendous strength, and it is not human spirit." Diaphanous looked him in the eyes...

"Enertro, promise you will not even bother with him at all. Whatever is in him is no joke. Please promise. I felt it. Please for me.... swear you will not do a thing or say a thing to him. This thing is very powerful, and I think it involves other people and things melded to their souls..." Diaphanous looked at him waiting for him to promise.

"Enertro, I am going to go out and practice some of my new techniques. I will be on the beach. I do not mean to leave you, I just know I am going to need this. Bad Mojo, Enertro. Please relax, I will give you a long backrub in the hot tub when I get back... how does that sound?" She grinned and gave him a teasing passionate kiss.

"Be back soon... maybe I will buy something for the beach... a bikini perhaps." She waved on her way out the door.

When she got into the hallway, she let her face show her real feelings... Too much... too much bad Mojo... stress...

Diaphanous knew Fortuna was above with Masozi and Sacer... Well, she had a pretty good idea where he was. It all made her sad.

She exited the hotel, and as she walked down the streets to the beach, found a huge cathedral, which was open and empty. She walked in. It had a huge, full size pipe organ. Perfect... she could play one of her favorite songs which required a pipe organ. It would likely be heard for quite a distance, but she wanted to get her feelings out constructively, which she thought important, according to what she learned from Raven.

Diaphanous started playing the organ and began singing:

I don't feel a thing,
And I stopped remembering,
The days are just like moments turned to hours.
Mother used to say,
If you want you'll find a way,
But mother never danced through fire showers...

Walk... in the rain... in the rain... in the rain...
I walk in the rain... in the rain...
Is it right or is it wrong...
And is it here that I belong...

I don't hear a sound,
Silent faces in the ground,
The quiet screams
But I refuse to listen.

If there is a hell,
I'm sure this is how it smells,
Wish this were a dream, but no it isn't...

Walk in the rain... in the rain... in the rain...
I walk in the rain... in the rain...
Am I right, or am I wrong...
And is it here that I belong...

Walk in the rain... in the rain... in the rain...
I walk in the rain... in the rain...
Why do I feel so alone...
For some reason,
I think... of home...

After she was done, she just sat on the bench for a while trying not to think.

Enertro watched her walk out the door and sighed. He got up and walked to the bathroom and began to take a shower.

***********************************************************

Guardian held the sobbing child in his arms as he flew out of the gruesome hotel. He could not lie to the child, and apparantly telling her the truth wasn't right either.

He knew there was a cathedral nearby, and the child will be safe there, eventually brought to another family.

He descended to the doors of the cathedral, his wings wrapping around the the handles, but he stopped suddenly. Someone was playing the organ...and it was not a church song...none that he's heard anyways...

He quietly opened the door and walked in, noticing someone very familiar sitting on the bench.

"You play well, however I do not think that is a religious song, am I right?" Guardian spoke aloud, his strange voice coming from all sides at Diaphanous.

Diaphanous turned. "Guardian... no... I guess it is a song of feelings." She smiled wanly.

"Who is this?" Diaphanous asked referring to the little girl. It took all her strength, but she smiled at the little girl.

The girl had sobbed herself to sleep and now lay peacefully in Guardian's arms.

He gently set her down in a pew, before forming his wings back to their feathered form.

"At one time, a girl who had a wonderful family with wonderful memories. Now, she's parent-less child. She was hiding under the bed as her parents were killed by glass shards. A demon apparantly destroyed the glass of the hotel they were staying at," Guardian replied as he made his way to Diaphanous.

"I think I'd prefere being outside. I'm not that interested in being a house guest of yours." He commented as he leaned against a portion of the wall.

"That was the demon that Prism and his weird cultish group raised specifically to kill Enertro, however they could not control it at all, and it went crazy. It took all of us to get it into the ground.

"Now Prism was called to China. I tried to speak with him telepathically. There is another being in him... melded to him. It told me to never contact them again, and kicked me out. It gave me a feeling of excessive heat for some reason.

"Some country, Kat--I cannot think of the rest... in Europe has built or made/created 'super-soldiers'... deadly... looks like war is going to be all over, then Fortuna is up above the hotel disguised as Alucard holding Masozi until Sacer gets back from hell.

"I guess that is why I was playing that song." She smiled wanly at the beautiful Guardian.

Guardian remained silent for a time. "Sacer should realize that we should defeat Alucard together..." he finally said quietly.

Then, his robed head turned towards Diaphanous, his face completely hidden by shadow, as always. "Diaphanous, you spoke of this Prism unable to control the demon. Now I must speak to you about control."

"The world has been bombarded by deadly radiation, not to mention countless other dangers, due to a certain nuclear bombardment."

His wings reformed to their strange tendrils and they began to reach around Diaphanous as Guardian stopped several feet away from her.

"My duty is to keep humanity safe, and I must make sure you do not continue such bombardment. If you cannot do so, I must end this threat."

STOP BEING AN ASS! The spirit shouted throughout Morph's body. Put your hand in the receptor!

OOC: How does Dia know about what happened in Katigasnia?

Why? What's so special about the room? He asked as he took a seat and yawned.

PUT YOUR HAND THERE AND FIND OUT! The spirit roared.

ooc: Didn't Haze come back and bring everyone to the tower and tell them where he was at that time? If not, my bad.

"Guardian... I am in control of these things now. I was on my way to practice. A woman who has to control her emotions to control her powers, named Raven, has been teaching me how to use mantra to calm myself, and I have not had a problem since. I have even become a calmer person in general." Diaphanous explained.

"I was going to go to the beach to meditate, when I saw this cathedral and thought it might have a pipe organ. I felt it would help get some of the feelings out to sing 'Rain'. I was about to go to the beach now." She told Guardian.

"I do not think you have anything to worry about with my power issues."

Diaphanous paused for a moment... "Were you going to... kill me?" She looked at Guardian with tears in her eyes.

That smacks of stupidity, so no. He thought back with the mental equivilant of a condesending smirk.

"If I need to, I will, no matter who it is. It is my duty," Guardian replied. his tendrils slowly moving behind him.

"Personally, I am overjoyed you have learned to control you powers."

"Would you mind doing me a favor when you leave?" the angel asked as he began to march towards the pew he left the little girl in.

Tears poured down Diaphanous' face. "I know it is your duty, but the thought...

"Yes I can do you a favor, Guardian." Tears still ran down her face. She wanted to play "Rain" all over again...

Drake was impreesed with the Watch Tower. He had never seen technology the likes of which was accumulated within the structure. Turning to Starfire, he said "This is nothing like what I had imagined it to be. If you wouldn't mind however, I would like to be introduced to everybody on the team."

"This girl is in need of a home. Her parents have been killed horrendously and she needs parents that will be just as caring as her previous ones," Guardian said as he picked up the sleeping girl.

"I would like for you to take this child and take her somewhere safe. An orphanage if you wish, or a family you feel is kind and deserving of her," the angel spoke softly as he cradled the girl in his arms.

"Guardian... I do not know where to bring her. If Enertro and I did not have the life we did, I would love a daughter." Diaphanous smiled at the thought.

"Guardian, do you think we could be parents to her, if we had a nanny for when we had to do our superpower things? I would have to talk to Enertro, but I was just saying that when things calm down, I would not mind a child.

"What is your opinion Guardian?" Diaphanous asked, now becoming somewhat excited, her whole mood changing as she smiled down at the sleeping girl.

The fight had been going horribly for Sacer as Alucard whipped around at near light speeds. The spear had taken his powers beyond anything the angel could expect; suddenly a bullet tore through his knee sending him to the ground using his blade to keep him up.

"Aren't you having fun Sacer?" The disembodied voice broke out from the empty void of hell, in an instant everything went black.

"The time of my life." The one winged angel growled as his wounds healed.

The darkness took its form, a sphere of millions of Alucards all with their weapons pointed at the angel. Each one with their pompous little grins and beedy eyes peering through those bright orange glasses.

"I will miss you Sacer." Alucard said as a million gun hammers clicked. "Any last words?"

"Yeah, you talk too much." Sacer growled smiling.

The chains making up the dark angel's cloak rolled around him, by the thousands they divided evenly as Sacer's blade formed at the end of every one.

The wave of bullets from all directs met the wall of blades while Sacer stood at the center almost unbothered.

Prism heard Dia's voice before it was silenced by Fire. Listen, I want to send her a message. It will be simple, nothing big. You can check it if you want, but let me say something. Dia, forgive me. Priam put his hand on his spot. He would be in this position for awhile, because knowing Morph, he would put up a fight. "Dude, just put your hand there. At least for the sake of getting him to shut the hell up."

"Sometimes, I fear that you can read my mind as well," Guardian replied as he brought the sleeping girl to Diaphanous. "But you must promise to love her dearly, and you must spend time with her. Both of you. When she awakes, you must make sure she wishes to be with you both as well."

"Maybe if they, or you can give a good reason, and because or any variation is not a reason." He replied

"Thank you Guardian!" Diaphanous beamed. "I will bring her to Enertro right away, and if there are any problems of any sort, I will find a good home for her. Explaining that her new family has superpowers is going to be strange.

"Guardian, can you ask Fortuna, to bless this child with good fortune, and all our family? I of course will do the same. I am honored that you believe Enertro and I would make good parents.

"Since we have changed, I think we will." Diaphanous grinned.

"I am going to take her back to the hotel and let Enertro see her.

"Good bye Guardian!" Diaphanous left the church. On the way, she projected telepathically the situation.

Enertro, we have a daughter! If she will have us that is. Her parents were destroyed by that abomination that Prism brought up.

If for some reason, you do not want a child, we can find another home for her. I am on the way back to the hotel.

Diaphanous made it back to the hotel room in record time. She opened the door to their suite and brought the still sleeping girl for Enertro to see.

"Is she not precious? If you are against this, I will find her another home. If she does not take to us, I also must find her another home.

"Guardian was kind enough to ask me to find her a good home, and when I mentioned you and I, he said he was thinking the same thing.

"Enertro, we may just have a daughter! She will be going through shock after what happened to her parents, but I want to be a mother. Tell me the truth... what do you want to do?"

"Maybe if they, or you can give a good reason, and because or any variation is not a reason." He replied

The water spirit replied, Put your hand there or die. There is no need to reply. If you don't move your hand then I will be looking for a new body. Wood looked at Morph and said, "Put your hand there. If you don't then you will regret it."

==============================================================

Starfire looked at Drake and said, "There aren't as many of us as it used to be. You've met Nightwing." Haze walked by and Starfire said, "That is the Phantom Haze. He is an interesting fellow. He is a key member." Haze smiled and said, "You did great today." Raven then walked up and said, "I am Raven. You saw Diaphanous and Enertro. They are new also." Starfire looked at him and said, "There are others too; Static Shock, Arsenal, Terry McGinnis the newest Batman. The list continues."

"If you think I'm scared of you Woody, think again." He commented as he gave Wood the middle finger, stretching it out to touch the stone. "I'm just bored of you nagging."

Wood looked back and said, "It is not me who you should fear. It is the spirit inside of your who you should fear." As soon as Morph touched the wall a little spike poked into all five of their hands drawing out blood.

Don't worry. It is just a quick blood offering, the water spirit told Morph.

I always hate this part,Fire told Prism.

When the wall had recognized the spirits a door opened. Wood and the two women walked through it. Earth called back, "Come on."

"Thanks," said Drake. The heroes had been curteous, so he figured now was as good a time as any. "Um, does anybody know where I'll be staying? It's sort of a long flight to my home and I don't have the kind of power to get there in the blink of an eye. Or at least, not yet."

Prism was surprised by the little pinprick, but he shook it off. He followed the avatars. Once again, he expected Morph to take a while to get in. For the little bit of time Prism had known him, he was stubborn and didn't budge for anybody.

OOC Did the message Prism sent Dia get through?

ooc: I thought it was just a Dia... then cutoff... but she already knew something else in him blocked off their communication and told her he'd kill Prism if she tried to contact him again. So I don't recall there being much in the message that she hadn't gotten yet... am I correct?


You mean 'Dia forgive me'?

OOC: There shouldn't be anymore contact between Dia and Prism. Not at this point anyway.

IC: Nightwing looked at Drake and said, "There are some rooms on the bottom levels. I can take you there if you want." Nightwing stood up and walked towards some stairs.

Guardian watched Diaphanous run with joy back to her hotel with his arms crossed around his chest.

"Were you being truthful? Do you think they'd make good parents?" came a voice nearby. A short priest, who seemed barely able to walk hobbled in from the back. A long brown cloak disguised his face, his features.

But Guardian could see past the clever disguise...another angel...halo and all.

"I have comeplete faith in their abilities," the Guardian replied.

"They were supervillains, you know?"

"I know full well who they are."

"Guardian, I am afraid that perhaps they may turn out to be not as expected..."

"They will not, trust me. I shall remain her protector if that is so," Guardian replied.

Under the cloaked, Guardian could see the hint of a smile. "Let them live happily ever after, then," he concluded. The sun suddenly shined brighter, blinding the Angel of Law for a moment, before reverting back to it's regular brightness. There was no longer anyone in front of him.

Fortuna...I have a request to ask of you, my friend. There was a small child who's parents were killed by the recent demon passing. I have given the child to who I believe would make good parents; Diaphanous and Enertro. I would like you to give them a blessing, please.


***********************************************************

Enertro was reading a book when Diaphanous burst into the room, a broad smile on her face.

There was a matching smile on his. "Dia! This is wonderful! Well, the getting a child part, I mean!" he said happily, but in a hushed tone so as not to wake the child. He stood next to Diaphanous and watched the sleeping child. She had a light brown hair and a the smallest hint of a tan. She had to be no older than four...

"That would be fine," said Drake, as he followed Nightwing. When they were going down the stairwell, he asked Nightwing about himself, or more appropriately, about how he came to be Nightwing. "Guys I know say that you were the first Robin, but a couple of years after becoming Robin you disappeared. I know that there is that younger guy that is the new Robin, but how come you became Nightwing instead of returning as Robin? Was the new guy already on the scene, or did you just want a change of name? Sorry if it is too forwards, but I've always been a little confused by you."

Nightwing smiled and said, "No problem. I didn't stop being Robin after Tim Drake came. I just became the leader of the Teen Titans. Batman and I weren't seeing eye to eye anymore so I had to leave. After I left the Teen Titans I went to Bludhaven, a city that is not to far away from Gotham City. I stayed there for a little while not doing anything to help. Then I took up the alliance of Nightwing and became Bludhaven's Dark Knight. I also became the leader of the Titans again." They had reached the bottom of the stairs. "I started getting a little too old to be leading the Titans so I joined the Outsiders. A new group created by my old master, Batman. Eventually Batman decided to step down and I took up the mantle of leader. As the original leaguers got older and new people began going to the JLA I was elected to become the leader of them also. So I merged the JLA and the Outsiders into the NJLU. That is how we got here today." They were outside of Drake's door. "Here is your room. I hope it suites you well." He handed Drake a keycard and said, "We are upstairs if you need us."

"Oh! I was hoping you would be happy!" Diaphanous whispered excitedly.

"Enertro, if she does not like us, we must send her elsewhere. Those were my instructions. And we must both spend time with her.

"I just do not know how we are going to tell her about her parents... I guess we will have to tell her that they are with the angels, and an angel gave her to us! Is that not amazing!

"Oh, Enertro I am so happy! I am glad you are as well. We will have to change our lifestyle a bit, but not too much." Diaphanous kissed the sleeping girl on the forehead and set her in the center of the bed.

She walked up to Enertro and looked deep into his eyes. "I love you so much, my soul mate." She put her arms around him and held him tightly.

"Guardian has enough faith that you and I will be good parents. That means so much to me.

"You know, I think the rest of the NJLU left us here? I wonder why? Perhaps we are useless to them now. I do not even care. We must remember our first responsibility is to this little one."

Diaphanous called the concierge and ordered some shorts and a halter top for herself, along with some sandals, and a t-shirt and shorts and tennis shoes for Enertro.

"We do not want to be armored when she awakes!"

When the clothing arrived, Diaphanous quickly changed. A black cropped halter top with some jeweled detailing, and some lower cut shorter shorts, and jeweled black sandals with heels. She looked sexy as ever in her summer clothes. It wasn't easy to hide those curves... maybe in a mumu.

"Enertro, let me see how you look. I need your opinion on my outfit."

ooc: Should I just play the little girl or is someone else going to?

ooc: Good question...LoL You can play her if you want. Just remember, she'd know her previous parents.

"Somehow, I think you just wanted an excuse to buy clothes," Enertro chuckled as he put on his clothing.

"Good riddance, then. I still dislike the NJLU," He said as he finished putting on his shirt.

"Wow...Dia...I don't think I should bring you in public...you'll be swarmed by men," he laughed as he walked over to Dia and kissed her on the neck.

"You flatter me Enertro, however, I ought to bring at least a kodachi to keep the swarms of women away from you!" Diaphanous chuckled.

"I am afraid we are going to have a very difficult situation when she wakes up. I hope we do well with her." Diaphanous was nervous...

"Should we sit on the balcony until she awakes?"

It wasn't an offering. Offering implies consent and foreknowladge. He thought back, "And what's so important in there that you won't tell me out here?" He asked

Oh, and what are the extends of and weaknesses of your, and your friend abilities?

Sacer shot through the earth out of hell stained from head to toe in blood. He collapsed to the ground trying to catch his breath.

"Fortuna!" The angel cried trying crawl.

Masozi looked below and saw the one winged angel curiously.

"Master if he's here...then how did you 'meet' him?" The demon asked very softly lowering his head.

It wasn't an offering. Offering implies consent and foreknowladge. He thought back, "And what's so important in there that you won't tell me out here?" He asked

Oh, and what are the extends of and weaknesses of your, and your friend abilities?

There are ears who we do not trust out here. That is why. Please step through the portal, the water spirit replied.

While it may simply be a linguistic difference, until you explain what you mean by portal I'll be waiting here. Also about the extents and weaknesses of each of you annoying spirits... He thought back.

'Alucard' told Masozi to get back to hell now, that he would deal with Sacer.

After Masozi was gone, Fortuna changed back to herself. "Sacer! What happened!?" She flew over to him and held him. "Sacer what did he do?

"Please do not go down there again!" Fortuna began crying again seeing Sacer so bloody. Sacer in a pool of blood surrounded by pure white flowers.

"Please tell me what happened." She begged. Fortuna was sobbing by now.

She immediately began healing Sacer. Light energy went from her hands directly into Sacer's body. Fortuna had almost unlimited healing powers, and she kept at it until Sacer looked to be OK.

"Sacer, you must not let him bait you. Please tell me what happened." She asked as she held his head in her lap and stroked his bloody hair.

"We must all beat Alucard together. We can do it. All three of us.

"Please go on and tell me what happened and do not leave out any details."

Drake entered the room. It was Spartan, perfect for Drake.

"Carl."

"Who's there?"

"You idiot, it's me, your master. Close your eyes and concentrate for a minute would you? We have to talk."

"How can you contact me here master?"

"Once again, you fail to realize the importnce of Draconic. I can reach you anywhere. The language allows mental communication of any type, but it is essential if one party is a dragon. Now, about your studies, I watched the battle earlier. Well done, young dragon."

"How did you see that?" Drake moved to the bed and sat, cross legged, eyes closed.

"I watched through your eyes."

"You can still manipulate me?"

"No, you are no longer within my bounds of protection. But you are still my pupil, and I can still observe you and speak with you. I contacted you because something has been thrown off. In my meditations, I searched for the disturbance that had chilled the water in the pond."

"And how is that important," Carl interrupted.

"Patience, young reptile. The water is maintained by the power of the Dragons. Even if the earthly realms were changing, it should not have. Remember, Our power is more than manipulation. You have access to the primal energies, the divine forces my young charge, and it is through that power that you and I derive our power. Remember that we share blood with angels. Remember our creed."

"We are the blended, the fused, the guardians. We watch the realms, we keep them seperate, we keep the peace. A dragon is both spirit and body, and each is a source of power. We obey the One, the Father, and preserve his creation, acting as his champions across the realms."

"Something has tipped the balance. It is a mundane spirit, immortal, but originating on this plane. Keep watch young dragon, and continue with your training. You will need it before long."

The angel slumped his head down gritting his teeth in frustration. As soon as the white light began healing him he sat up still angry.

"I...I ran!" Sacer said sobbing. "He was better than me and I fled like coward!"

Reaching down he ripped up one of the flowers and crushed it in his palm. A dark energy pulsed through the angel as he squeezed the pure flower into dust.

"I don't want to bear this shame anymore." He cried drifting towards unconciousness. "Next time I see him...I'll sacrifice myself and you and Guardian will defeat Masozi easily enough."

The angel closed his eyes and fell asleep.

OOC- Going on Vacation, won't be back for a week.

Fortuna held onto Sacer as he passed out. Tears ran down her face. There was no talking to him.

Masozi descended into hell gleefully as he cursed Alucard under his breath. Landing he looked up to see the red hatted menace staring at him viciously.

"Mas-master! I thought you were on earth?" Masozi said falling backwards termbling in fear.

"You moron." The vampire growled slowly closing in on his servant. Shortly after painful screams filled the depths of the underworld.

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

Sacer opened his tearful eyes.

"If I cannot beat him, then I don't want to live anymore..." He admitted sobbing in Fortuna's arms. "Take care of Athena and Fenrir, and make sure Guardian doesn't do anything foolish he's still young afterall.

"Never say such a thing!" Fortuna yelled at Sacer. We will defeat Alucard. Not everyone can be the strongest. To give up your life and hurt the people who love you because of some foolish pride is just selfish!" Fortuna was shaking.

She held him tighter. "Do not even think like that! We love you and all of us would not have the strength to defeat him without you. Please do not hurt everyone around you because of some vendetta that is not as personal as you think. He treats everyone like this, not just you. Do the courageous thing and stick with us. Do not hurt Athena, Fenrir... all of us."

Fortuna began to glow brightly while holding Sacer, trying to infuse him with some hope and determination as well as the feeling of love she has for him, in a direct manner.

"I love you Sacer... " Fortuna said as she held him tight and rocked him trying to soothe him.

The words pierced the dark angel's heart like a dagger as his eyes lit up in shock. No one had told him that aside from Athena, who used the words sparingly. Suddenly he realized that his pride didn't matter; battle wasn't about records and bragging rights, it was about protecting the ones you love and realizing that he held Fortuna tightly.

"I love you too, and thank you old friend." He said choking down his tears simultaneously trying to smile.

His armor faded to a silverish color shining brightly in the light as the sky began to rain black and white feathers. Beautful flowers sprouted from the ground wrapping around each other in an orchestra of vastly contrasting colors.

A second wing began folding from his back of snow white as Sacer only gripped onto his companion angel tighter.

"I am happy to see you understand, Sacer. I am lucky to have a friend like you, and we will all work together, to protect those we love." Fortuna said, as Sacer sprouted another white wing, his armor changed to silver, and colored flowers sprouted around them. Fortuna was crying and she was pretty sure Sacer was as well.

It was a beautiful sight... two angels holding each other amongst a field of flowers.

"I won't let my pride or anger harm the ones I love anymore. I don't want to fight alone anymore." He whispered flinging his massive black and white wings to full length. Each feather on both wings were mixed with the contrasting colors.

The wings jumping out to the sides caught the flowers and raining feathers in a gale and swept them up beautifully.

"I don't have to hate myself anymore..." He whispered drying his eyes holding his companion. "I think...I can be happy."

Fortuna smiled and gave him a big hug. "You are not alone. Ever. You always have all of us, you know. And I know you can be happy."

Fortuna stepped back and looked up. "It is beautiful, as are you Sacer... as well as your heart and soul." She smiled brightly at Sacer. "We are in this together, always."

"If I lost you all again, I don't know what I would do." Sacer whimpered holding Fortuna tightly before chuckling. "Speaking of which, where is Guardian?"

The rejuvenated angel released Fortuna gently and glided backwards through the field of flowers and fallen feathers.

"We are not complete without him."
