HeavenDemon, having lost all control of his body, tore fiercely at his bonds, howling like a madman. The chains cut into his flesh, covering him with blood.

"Alright," Centara mumbled to herself, "I've had just about enough of this." Her body erupted into a inferno of white hot flame, melting the chains. She launched a bolt of fire at Dusk, setting his grimy robes ablaze. He collapsed, trying desperately to put out the fire. She deflected a punched from Siren, and gave her a fiery kick to the face, burning her badly. She turned her attention to Artimis, firing a massive inferno at him.

"That should do it," she said, powering down. She turned around to see the HeavenDemon had just managed to break through his bonds. He had a pained expression on his face.

"I'm holding him back, but I won't last for much longer," he said in a sorrowful tone. "Knock me unconscious, before he breaks through."

"When you wake up, you'll be back to normal," she promised, drawing back her fist. But the blow never came. Siren grabbed her hand, and elbowed her in the throat.

"What's wrong, can't catch your breath?" Siren, mocked as Centara stumbled to her feet. She glanced back at HeavenDemon. He had sunk to the ground, but seemed to be holding Insanity back.

"He still loves me, you know," said Siren, continuing to mock Centara. "Some things just never fade."

Centara raised an eyebrow. "Love?" she said, "I don't think so. I don't know what he ever saw in you, but it definitely wasn't love. More like loneliness."

If her words had an effect on Siren, she didn't show it. "You're starting to bore me, Centara. I just hope your blood tastes better then Keydin's did."

Before Centara had a chance to respond, Siren lunged at her, knocking her against a wall. Despite Centara's resistance, Siren's fangs were getting closer and closer to her throat.

"You've always been an annoyance it me," hissed Siren, "And now I can finally get rid of you!"

"Really?" Centara asked, then pulled out the wooden table she had hidden, and stabbed Siren, who collapsed. "Isn't it funny a piece of wood in the heart can kill you? When Artimis threw us into the table, I decided to grab a piece of wood in case you showed up. Looks like it came in handy.

"Yes," said Siren, slowly rising, "except I've formed the habit of wearing armor under my clothes at all times. So, tough luck.

"Hm, oh well," said Centara, growing her claws and wings, "Good old fashioned decapitation still works."

"Just try it," said Siren, her canine teeth growing even longer. She launched a punched at Centara. She sidestepped it, and swiped at Siren, cutting her cheek slightly. She took a moment to lick the blood off her face, at hit Centara in the side of her stomach with a roundhouse kick, so hard she coughed up a small amount of blood. She recovered fast though, and hit Siren with a hard uppercut to the chin, sending her sprawling to the ground. Siren tried to leg sweep Centara from where she lay, but she jumped over it, aimed a stab at Siren's throat. She barely rolled out of the way, the lept to her feet. Before Centara had a chance to recover from her miss, Siren hit her in the back of the head with a tornado kick. She stumbled, but managed to stay on her feet. She spun around and hit Siren with a vicious front kick that knocked her against the wall. Centara was upon her in an instant, and delivered several punches to her face before impaling Siren in the forehead with her claws. Siren managed a chuckle.

"You can't kill me like that," she choked out.

"Maybe not," said Centara in a grim tone, "But I can to this." With that Centara shot as much fire as she could muster into Siren's head wound. Her mouth opened in a silent scream, and then she slumped to the ground, sliding off Centara's claws. Centara closed her eyes for a moment, but opened them rapidly at sound of a soft clap. She turned around, to find Artimis.

"Impressive," he said, "But I simply can't allow this to continue." With those words, Artimis moved at lightining speed, knocking out Centara with a punch to the stomach before she knew what was happening. He grabbed Dusk, Centara, and Siren's unconscious forms, disappered through a portal that appered in the floor under his feet. Seconds later, Raven burst through a window, finding only a howling HeavenDemon.
