Limbs aglow with raw energy, Circe flung bolt after bolt towards the object of her ire. The..creature she was aiming at was a blur of constant motion as he weaved around her attacks, only to retaliate briefly from a different angle than the one she was targeting, starting the cycle all over again.

"Damn you! Stay still and die!"

Rage and focus melded her twin spheres of energy into one solid ball as she gathered her power before her. With a cry of frustration, she launched a bright violet-white beam out towards the beast that was racing forward for an assault.

BOOM!

Smoke and debris filled the space as her attack had met her opponent directly. After a few seconds silence, the witch released a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. Her eyes were still trained on the smoldering crater a ways in front of her, but she spoke aloud, mirth and annoyance lacing her words.

"Ha! Another ant crushed beneath my heel, though I would've loved to know what that energy I sensed in him was. It was so...foreign, yet powerful."

"Then, I will gladly grant you your wish. Consider it a..last request."

Eyes widening, she only had enough time to turn her face in the direction of her attacker before being pitched forward. Violently.

"What is this, but a clash of two titans. Hell's itself quakes from the force of their fighting."

"Yea, well, looks like we're gonna have to go...mediate huh."

"Aye, so it is as it seems. Let's be off then, young Constantine."

"Are you ever gonna cut out that ridiculous rhyming habit."

"No."

The emerald witch's flight ended abruptly as she connected with a solid wall. Or what felt like a wall, as a mass of crimson transparent energy reached out and caught ahold of her each of her limbs.

"Unhand me you beast!"

"You shall know death, more painful than any known to man, and it will be at my hands. Shinei, witch."

Slowly, steadily, small orbs of either ruby or sapphire materialized from thin air. The little glowing gems coalesced into a much larger ball, slightly bigger than a cannonball, yet still a steely black in color. From his position across the expanse of destruction, the teen turned monster held up a bubbling red palm, and a foxhead formed from the ghostly substance with its maw open wide.

"Kokuhō."

The black shell was then swallowed by the fox, until a second later, when it reared its head back and opened its jaws once more. The ball burst outwards in a beam of blinding white light, its force cutting a groove into the ground beneath it from sheer pressure. As Circe watched the blast coming, she couldn't help but notice the beauty of such a destructive power. Then, with wide eyes, she realized what may very well occur should the attack connect.

'I can't believe it. This...this brute, is more powerful than I? I've got to get out of here, but how?'

The explosion was magnificent in its occurrence, at least, until the recoil came rushing back. The entire scene resembled an atomic bomb being detonated from a much closer range than necessary. The end result, was terrifying, and that's saying something considering that they were in the bowels of Hell itself. There was nothing, no bones nor demons, nothing but pure ash and blood in a blackened bowl 75 ft wide and plenty further down besides.

But, in the center of it all, stood none other than a kyuubified blonde.

Two figures approached the location of what was sure to be a titanic battle, coming from the waves of debris and hot, arid wind that buffeted them every so often from this place. They were close as possible, yet far enough away to not be noticed or confused as part of the fight. Though, they really weren't interested in combat much now anyway, at least not with the two currently savaging one another.

"You think we should go?"

"Nay, we wait and watch the fray. 'Tis not often a common demon keeps the enslaving witch at bay."

"Figured you'd say something like that."

BOOM!

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

"Move, now!"

The vision before them was of a blazing white pillar of energy that mushroomed into a blackened monstrosity, and that was before the resulting backlash came...

Arriving at the center of the crater, they saw the male still standing, as if daydreaming on his feet. His gaze dropped from the darkness around him, to the two strangers before him, and with a cock of the head he feel to his knees. Unconscious.

"For such a young lad to have so much power..."

"Aye, this one is easily an A to S-class I assure you. However, I'm not sensing just one demon, but two."

"What? How is that even possible? Nevermind, we've got to get him out of here."

"Agreed. Yet, what kind of solace to find one such as he?"

"I've got it, looks like we're paying a visit to The Madame."
