Exdeath didn't wait long to make a move. His Reverse Polarity, a teleportation/attack spell made the move. The white disc went right past the two heroes to right behind them. Exdeath reappeared, and Megiddo was thrown back by the contact with the disc. Lightning, with her Blaze Edge, swung at Exdeath, only for him to block with his sword. He released a large hurricane like shield that sent her flying when it made contact.

The male soldier rebounded, striking Exdeath around the neck (if he had one) with a kick from his left leg. Exdeath was sent back quite a few feet; surprised at the strength the mortal had shown.

Megiddo continued the assault. Using his fists, blades, and kicks, he went at Exdeath. The warlock took the blows without flinching. This surprised Megiddo, and he left himself open, long enough for Exdeath to swing his sword twice, the blows connecting and sending Megiddo into one of the castle spires in the corner. He left a bid hole in it, from the force from the blow he had taken.

Lightning quickly recovered, using her Gravity Bomb, and was hovering upside down as much as twenty feet in the air. She was firing her gun at a fast rate, bombarding her foe with magical bullets before she went back to the ground again. Exdeath however, had blocked that attack too, and countered by two large white spheres that hit Lightning with wretched speed. She was caught off-guard, and she tumbled off the ledge. She managed to grab the edge with her left hand, without falling.

Exdeath wallowed in triumph. He had pictured that this 'fight' would be a lot more difficult. Xian had told him to be careful, because of Megiddo, but he had been taken out—

But as the confident warlock turned away, the soldier he had thought he had 'beaten' was getting up from his grave. Exdeath saw this, and was really surprised. No one hit with that kind of force was supposed to be standing after what Megiddo had gone through. And from what he looked like, bloodied and batter, a huge gash across his left eye, he should be down for the count.

Megiddo stood, 'Dammit...vision's starting to get blurry...' He took a step forward, legs shaking slightly, the blood from the wound on his eye making its way down his temple and cheek. Exdeath was impressed; his foe had taken a direct blow from his weapon and was still upright. "It seems I underestimated you."

Lightning, hanging onto the ledge, tried to pull herself up, but her strength was waning. She tried to use her Gravity Bomber, however, the device had been damaged by Exdeath, rendering it useless. She managed to get herself up, but unable to get from her predicament as she saw her partner struggle to stay on her feet.

Exdeath swung his sword at Megiddo. The soldier tried to raise his blades, but Exdeath struck him way too fast. His swords were knocked out of his hands, and he was sent back into the castle spire with a loud CRASH. As the warlock laughed in his mockery of his foe, Lightning struggled to maintain herself. Exdeath felt now that he should stop playing with them and finish them off. Megiddo, yet again, struggled out of his hold, a little more beat up than before. Something was different about him though...as he staggered out, some sort of flame was started to cover his body...

Exdeath took notice of this, "What...?" Megiddo's body shook with a seemingly uncontrollable rage, the flames started to go black and red, his fists clenched tight. Exdeath, although driven by darkness and very powerful, was beginning to have a little bit of hesitation right now. But he was caught by the eyes, Megiddo's eyes were glowing bright yellow, like a devil.

Exdeath backed away as Megiddo lifted his arms, which were looking as if they were on fire. The warlock, out of desperation, raised a red shield, his sword slowly spinning to keep it up. Megiddo reached both arms out towards Exdeath, and what happened next was brutal. Concentrating all his energy into his hands, the male soldier fired two snake like fire creatures made entirely out of flames come out of his hands and went straight at Exdeath. The heads of these 'snakes' were as large as Lightning was. Exdeath's shield felt like it had been hit by a meteor. The force made the world seemingly shake.

Exdeath, however, was gone. Seemingly without a trace. The top of the castle area was pitch-black and charred from fire. Megiddo fell to his knees, having used most of his energy in that attack. Lightning, who quickly saw the blast, jumped down from her ledge and avoided being turned into burnt toast. She climbed back up the hard way, and made her way over to her partner.
