Holy High - IC III - Open!

[Theocretes]

Ianar stared at the fire he had created, he wanted to end the silence between him and Rosalie
So he asked a question....abruptly
"How old are you Rosie?"
He prodded the fire with his finger, making the flames rise higher

She was confused by the question. Nobody had ever asked her that before, considering none of the Angels really thought about it. "...I'm the baby in my family..." Rosalie answered, vaguely.

Ianar nodded, now curious
"Rosie.....do you know your age?"
He thought on this, in all honesty Ianar was a child compared to the rest of the gods
23 years old wasn't much in an eternal life

23 years old wasn't much in an eternal life

She shook her head. "No...my family and I, we've...never kept up with that...We've all been around for so long, it kind of almost...doesn't really matter to us..." she mumbled.

[Azmodeus]

The Twins

The twins looked at each other and smirked. "Ooo he still has fear." Diamos said smiling. Diamos raised his hand like he was telepathically lifting a heavy object. The fear levels in lux were slowly rising. As this was happening Phobos was pointing from lux to certain members of the group making him scared of each one that was about to land a hit on him

Azrael

Azrael finally cut Charlotte free. "hey sis how about we put this cocky God in his place, huh?" Azrael said feeling utterly helpless on the inside but showed nothing of the sort on the outside.

Lux did not care about the two brothers and their attacks. In fact, attacking him the way they did only set him back into action. "Get away from me, now, or you will die," he threatened them. He then took out his ice-sword, and he held it out toward them.

Please. Run away.

I do not want to hurt you.

Please run away now! Before I hurt you!

The Twins

The Twins looked at each other smiling as they got an idea. They clasped hands and disappeared in a mix of red and black smoke they still used their powers to raise his fear but the two were nowhere to be seen

[Theocretes]

Ianar nodded, now curious

Ianar couldn't really get it, why didn't they keep track?
He felt kinda bad for Rosalie, and he tried to blow it off
"Im sorry for asking the question."
Ianar really felt bad for Rosalie now, after some though
He realized that maybe she had wanted to do something else, besides watch him
Or take care of Kyoko, Ianar felt useless
she always helps me out.....I really need to return the favour

Azrael

Azrael finally cut Charlotte free. "hey sis how about we put this cocky God in his place, huh?" Azrael said feeling utterly helpless on the inside but showed nothing of the sort on the outside.

"Agreed," she responded, her eyes glowing white.

...what the heck is going on? I don't understand...

...what the heck is going on? I don't understand...

Arael watched them, being closest to where they stood, and he turned toward Tharzidun, whose face had just been possibly blown-off by a grenade.

Or it would have been, had Lux not intervened. Running toward the grenade, counterintuitively, he grabbed the grenade and froze it, making it useless. "It cannot hurt you now, my lord," he told him, as he dropped the frozen grenade. The entire time, however, he was noticeably still shaky. He also had an arm around his stomach, which was still healing from being pulverized by Hyperion's fist.

Joaquin glared at him. "AUGH! WE WOULD HAVE HAD HIM, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!!!" he screamed. He then took-out his Portal gun, and he reloaded his last remaining portal bullets. He then aimed it at Tharzidun. "There's no souls who are gonna die from this except for you. So say your prayers, punk," he warned him.

...what the heck is going on? I don't understand...

Azrael
Azrael flew up into the air with his sword before nosediving on tharzidun and cutting down his back. Realizing he would most likely be cut down very fast at close range he flew away as fast as he could trying to get enough distance for his sniper rifle

[Luminesa]

"Agreed," she responded, her eyes glowing white.

Lux guarded Tharzidun by using his Staff, and he glared up at him as he backed away to aim his sniper rifle. He then moved in front of Tharzidun, defending him using his wings. "Go ahead. I will not let you hurt him..." he warned Azrael.

[Syrixces]

Hyperion

Hyperion roared, lashing out with an energy based fist, knocking Xavier off of him with a low growl, stomping forward. He glowed with power, his body settling into its normal wavelength, as he surged forward, slamming into Lux at nigh light speeds.

STAY OUT OF THIS XAVIER! HE'S A THREAT, AND ONE I'M GOING TO TAKE OUT OF THE EQUATION!!!

Clapping both hands around Lux's head, he roared, channeling his atomic energy into the base of Lux's sternum, changing bone calcium to Potassium, removing a single proton, but greatly weakening the bonds. He roared, cutting off the atomic energy, and instead, vying for the much more fun, brute force.

Pounding his fists into Lux, at blur speeds, changing his own fists into Tungsten, cracking bone.

YOU DON'T HURT HER! YOU DON'T HURT ME! UNDERSTOOD!? FIGHT IT LUX, FIGHT YOURSELF, OR I'LL JUST HAVE TO FIGHT YOU FOR YOU!

Raven

Oh, bloody fuck.

He was pretty sure he was somewhere close to the surface.

He was also kinda sure he was somehow upside down.

Grumbling, he set off a smaller, gore filled sewer intestine.

Hopefully, he thought, this would take him home.

Tharizdun

Oh no. You brought a toy, to my, party, and didn't expect to share? How rude, Joaquin!

Grinning, Tharizdun snapped his fingers, the gun appearing in his left hand, which he casually aimed at Joaquin's leg, and fired a single round into it. Chuckling, he tossed the gun to the side, and looked over at Lux, eyes flaring icy blue, as his breath hissed out in a frosty mist, both healing, and reassuring his prescence in Lux.

Now everyone gets a piece of the pie!

Turning away, he walked over to Adam casually, kicking him in the throat, and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, icy touch, holding him coldly.

And now, for your final penance, old friend.

However, he looked up quickly, and waved a hand, eldritch chains leashing back after Charlotte.

No, no, child of God. You don't escape this time!

[Charlia]

However, he looked up quickly, and waved a hand, eldritch chains leashing back after Charlotte.

No, no, child of God. You don't escape this time!

Charlotte was irritated by this, to say the least.

But her irritation was nothing compared to someone else's...


Charlie attacked Tharzidun, shouting, "Leave my mother alone! That's right. Remember me? This time I'm on their side!"

[Prusselanden]

Quetzalcoatl walked into the high school, carrying his books tightly. He looked around, scanning the area, pushing his black-framed glasses up his nose. "Hm. Interesting place we have here."

Joaquin dodged the bullet, and the bullet hitting the ground would have activated, had the ground been solid. Instead, because it was heaps of dead flesh and muscle, it simply burrowed into it, causing blood to leak on the floor. "Ugh...wasted bullet..." He ran and grabbed his gun again, rolling under Tharzidun to get it from behind him, he then grabbed it and took aim.

Meanwhile, Leliel/Adam got a kick to the throat, which hurt Leliel but only annoyed Adam. My penance? Perhaps you should handle your own first, dear Tharzidun, he teased. He then put a hand on Tharzidun's chest, and he began to twist the living material inside of him. Some introspection never killed anyone, did it?...Or at least...not yet... he snickered.

And within moments he had his hands around Tharzidun's heart.

All the while, Lux defended himself with his wings as much as he could, and he skid back as he kept to his feet. He stared at Hyperion for a moment, watching him walk toward him. As he panted, broken all over once again, he tried to fight it, to say something. Yet he saw the crazed look in Hyperion's eyes, and his defenses clicked back on. He put his hands on the ground, and ice crept over to Hyperion until it had captured him and anchored him to the floor.

"...Are you finished?" The words came out, and they were partially his-partially a cry for help, but partially tainted by Tharzidun's control. "...You do not care about me...none of you do...You only only care for defending yourselves and your honor. But what honor do you have now, Hyperion, as you beat your former friend to a pulp, because he fended-off your girlfriend's attack? What honor do any of you have, trying to beat me, not the strongest among you at all, to death?...You have none," he whispered shakily, his hazy breath creating an eerie mist around them. It was obvious that even if the punches had not broken Tharzidun's control on him, they had definitely broken his body up, and while he could not break his mental hold, it was obvious he was conscious enough to feel pain.

He then summoned more ice, causing it to creep up from his feet to his legs, to his lower torso. "And so I will kill you, as Tharzidun has asked of me..." finished.

Arael watched the proceedings, and he almost missed Tharzidun throwing his chains at Charlotte. Forgetting himself, he ran in front of Charlotte and allowed himself to be tied by them inside. He then yelped, as he fell to the floor.

Azrael

Azrael was actually about to pull the trigger and send a holy energy blast straight through lux and into tharzidun's leg but Hyperion beat him to the punch. since Hyperion was in the way he decided he would go try and free arael. He drew his sword and started hacking away at the ice. the ice barely chipped under his sword. "This is going to take a while...."

Nyx saw this happening and leapt into action. She wasn't about to lose him again, especially not like this. Not when she could save him. She summoned a long sword, the weapon laced with black and glowing darkly in her hand. It was something she'd never thought she'd have to use, yet here she was...she didn't want to hurt Lux, she wasn't like that anymore, but it didn't seem like she had a choice. It didn't feel like she had a choice. She raised the blade high, its being humming with dark energy, whispering shadows encircling the blade. She then charged, her aim being Lux's lower back. She sliced the blade through, a cut large and deep. Because the blade itself was not made from her shadows, the cut was probably something he wpuld have had to defend. The dark matter that started infecting the wound, however, was probably something he could stop. If not, though, it would put him under her control. If his body refused it though, it would almost certainly kill him.

Lux whirled around and used his ice to freeze her blade, just before it reached him. However, his eyes showed that, deep down, he didn't want to fight. In fact, most of what he was doing was batting away potentially-fatal attacks, while trying to free himself. Yet Nyx was in front of him, and Hyperion was behind him. They could both easily kill him if they wanted to.

More than anything, he was terrified. He never thought he would have to fight his friends like this. Yet his body was doing what Tharzidun wanted it to do, and he could not stop it.

Nyx...I am sorry...

Do not hurt me...I am...still here...

[Azmodeus]

Quetzalcoatl walked into the high school, carrying his books tightly. He looked around, scanning the area, pushing his black-framed glasses up his nose. "Hm. Interesting place we have here."

Diamos and Phobos grabbed Quetzalcoatl's arms "hey we need you're help come with us" with that they teleported back putting him a little bit away from lux "targets are him and him but save the smaller one of ya can he's just being mind controlled...have fun!" They smoked away on a hill laughing

Anubis had been holding Inari back. Whatever creature stood before them, it certainly wasn't Lux. It was a cold, heartless monster. It wanted nothing more than to harm them. He didn't want to imagine what would happen if she were to get to close.

Inari continued struggle, eventually breaking free from his grip. He ran after her, but she was too fast. She threw her arms around Lux, holding onto him with all of her strength. "Please, stop this," she begged him. "Lux. Please, if you can hear me, stop this..."

[Prusselanden]

Quetzalcoatl walked into the high school, carrying his books tightly. He looked around, scanning the area, pushing his black-framed glasses up his nose. "Hm. Interesting place we have here."

"Huh." he nods and sits down on the ground. "Is this really necessary?" He said to himself, twirling a loose strand of hair casually.

Azrael seen the twins drop off someone new and rolled his eyes "hey bud, you may want to get moving guys tougher than he looks!"

He merely continued watching with those intelligent, golden eyes. "You need not worry about me, I am just watching." he said to Azrael. "The poor child...do not treat him like a monster....all he needs is clarity and some love..." He referred to Lux.

As he felt Inari hug him, Lux momentarily stopped fighting. Her body was much warmer than his, but Inari became colder the longer she hugged him. If she stayed too long, she might be frozen. "...Inari..." he whispered. For a moment, the tender concern that normally marked his voice returned, and he held her to him. She was so soft and gentle, and he loved her for it...

Yet Tharzidun's words came back to him, and clicked through his body's nerves and muscles. Kill them all, especially the one called Inari.

No! Lux shouted inside, horrified. He had to get Inari away from him, before he hurt her.

He moved back from her, as he remembered, and the chilling tone took over. "Stay away from me, if you want to live," he told her, before firing a blast of ice at her and pinning her to the wall.

"INARI!" Hamiri saw Inari get pinned to the wall, and she ran to free her.

In the meantime, Patriah was furious when he saw Lux had hurt Inari, of all people, and he drew his sword to go stab the Angel. "Of all the good-for-nothing-"

"PATRIAH!!! WAIT!!!" Xavier shouted desperately.

Patriah was deaf to his pleas at first, but then he stopped just before he could stab Lux, when he saw his face.

Lux had begun to cry, despite the frozen expression on his face, and his tears were frozen to his face. Thus, he had two long, thin trails of ice running down his cheeks.

I hurt her...I hurt Inari...

She will never forgive me for this...

I cannot do this...I cannot fight them...

I cannot kill them...

Azrael finally got one of the arm restraints broken off "danm this I'm just going to shoot it!" He sheathed his sword, pulled out his sniper, and fired at the restraints repeatedly foreign the rifle in simi auto mode but instead of bullets it shot holy energy. the heat and power of the shots was chipping away and melting the ice. He had each restraint off in a couple of seconds but on the last restraint burnt arael's leg, the equivalent of touching a hot piece of metal, blistering in a small area on his leg. "oops sorry...."

Arael clenched his teeth, as the bullet hit him, but he smiled slightly through it. "Do not worry about it...just please get me free...I need to protect her..." he answered, anxiously.

He helped arael up "you're good, lets go." At that moment he noticed lux crying. "Come on lux fight it!" He flew close to the ground with his sword ,cutting the back of tharzidun's ankles.

Meanwhile Quetzalcoatl watched with a deep expression in his face whilst drinking Pulque. "Interesting, very interesting." he takes out his cellphone and snaps a few photos of the scene.
