"You... You're the one who injured Garnet!!!" Darkness flared up from Longinus' armor.
"Hahahahahahahahahah, you must be Lucifer, the Black-Winged One..." Rey Vyn's voice was much deeper now, like a dragon's groan. "The Angel of Darkness!! The Soul Slayer of Seraphs!! The Blood Hunter of Archangels!! You are correct!! I was the one who used you like a puppet!! As the First Child of H-1, I hold authority over all!! I was created to transcend the Children of H-1 under me... Yes... My marionettes you all are... Qastor..."
Qastor was forced to look up. "What do you want, Rey Vyn...?" His words were low and riddled with enmity.
"Hahaha... It is not Rey Vyn anymore, my young Nevermore, but Qain!!" The silhouettes of Ark Omnis' wings flexed against the lunar disk in response to the name 'Qain'... "If you all wish to find out who you all really are, come to the Lost Field... 'He' and I will be waiting..." Ark Omnis was stolid, but 'Qain' turned to Lucifer. "Yes... Garnet... Her scream... it was... enthralling!" With that, Lucifer snapped.
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" Longinus thundered straight for Rey Vyn, leaving a haze of plasma from its overboosters. All but Malirant watched Lucifer and 'Qain' disappear right before their eyes. Qastor turned his attention to Malirant, whose AC was different than he had remembered. He dashed for Malirant.
"Mali-" Qastor stopped as soon as the ground quaked. Malirant's AC eyes glared; festoons and arches of snake-like emanations from its body danced like the late sun's prominence. Iris and Rose witnessed in awe as the skyscrapers and structures came to life, twisting, writhing, and melting as they were devoured by the false earth. A mountainous mouth engulfed Malirant. Blades and slips of green rays oozed from the cracks. The enveloping boulders encasing Malirant catastrophically crumbled outward, missing the trio by a hairline. Malirant's AC awoke from its ephemeral casket. He was an Omnis also...
His AC was somewhat larger than a normal AC now. Twisted and grotesque spikes protruded randomly from his arm, head, core anterior, side-thighs, and knees. Two particularly grand spikes stuck out from his core and forehead. Under his core spike was a blinking jewel orb, which glimmered brilliantly against the moonlight. A rotating golden ring spun behind him, with the spikes shooting through it. Four horns curved upward from his shoulders, with electricity arching betwixt them. In his left hand was a ponderous bulwark, a thick shield of deformed and smooth, almost molten- like metal, with the impressive height of an AC. In his right hand was an earthen weapon, shaped like an elongated claw shell, stretching as far as an AC-sized lance, numerously pronged, and emanating with obsequious plasma energy.
"Malirant...?" Qastor stared in wonder as Malirant trampled the earth. Abruptly, Malirant stabbed the ground with his weapon, its multitude of prongs facing the trio. Threads of energy propagated from the prongs and lunged for Rose. In a shroud of energetic distortions...
"AAAA---HH---HH!!!" Her muffled cry made Qastor wince. It was too late to save her.
"Rose!! No!!" Iris immediately kneeled down next to Rose. Qastor concluded that Malirant was in the control of Qain, and that he must by subdued.
"Iris, take Rose back to base immediately." Iris realized the urgency of the situation. She made a transition to Anima mode, and swiftly carried Rose off, while Malirant released his weapon from the ground.
Qastor never thought he'd duel Malirant like this.
