I do not own Ao No Exorcist
Izumo was the last to turn away from the scene before being dragged along like a rag doll and stumbling to find her footing, she caught a glance of the glow reaching a peak before it seemed to tear down like liquid followed by a small waterfall of glowing red and black liquid that looked suspiciously like lava.
"What the hell was that?" She heard Rin shout as they ran flat out the way they came.
"I think they know we're here," came Sebastian's voice. Shura let out a demanding growl when their was a series of huge collisions behind them that shook the floor, throwing them all off balance. Izumo chanced a glance behind her and saw large chunks of the ceiling falling to the ground behind them in quick succession. Panic chilled her and she turned around she slipped on something and pummelled to the ground. A hand grabbed her and pulled her up again and she clapped a hand over mouth as a sickening smell of iron assaulted her nostrils which only made it worse as her hand was covered in said iron substance. In the whirl of colour that blurred into one as they ran, the image of streaks of glistening red streaking the dark red stone walls and scraps of some gut wrenchingly familiar fabric burned into her mind and the memory of the little brat's face flashed past her minds eye. Clenching her teeth and pushing everything from her mind to stop herself from hurling, she pressed forward until she almost collided with the suddenly still form of Shura. They had just emerged from the entrance of the tunnel and everyone had came to a stop, only stepping forward to evade the falling rocks as the cave entrance collapsed in on itself. Izumo bent to one side to see what the hold up was and found Sebastian dropping Rin and shoving him backwards as he stared at an odd looking figure standing in front of him. The figure looked like that of a barefoot woman slightly shorter than Sebastian's massive 6ft 1" She was wearing nothing but a cape that draped off one arm and a metal bikini with some wispy cloth bunched at the strap on her hip. If it was her skin or if it was painted on her, Izumo would never know but her entire body was covered in a dark, greyish aqua colour and gold and blood red patterns adorned her cheeks, thighs, legs, chest and arms. Her hair was an off whitish colour and hung from her head in huge thick tentacle-like tails wrapped in gold bands and ended in heavy gold hoops that trailed the floor behind her (1) To add to the effect, their where thin slivers of what looked like water that swirled around her innocently. The most obscure feature of the woman was how even as she snarled at Sebastian, Izumo had and probably would never see a face so beautiful.
"Egyn, To what might reason you to grace us with your presence?" Sebastian said smoothly with a menacing undertone. The woman hissed. Izumo's mind grasped for a reason behind the familiarity behind the name and it didn't take her long to remember a lesson she had not a few days ago. 'Egyn, the king of water' And the urgency and madness of the situation, Izumo tsk'd internally at the people who wrote the books and their bios assumption that all leaders had to be men.
"Nice for you to drop in, and you came baring gifts, how kind of you." She turned to face Rin and her face split in a cheshire grin. She bowed gracefully and the simple motion had Izumo's pulse racing, who would have thought such a gesture could spread so much fear. She stood straight again and offered a hand in Rin's direction. "Might I request that you come quietly? I'm sure your time here will be far less painful if you come willingly, young prince." Although the words came out draped in slickly sweet politeness the intent was clear in her eyes.
"Nice to see you to, King Egyn." Sebastian said calmly before he disappeared from sight and reappeared behind her holding a knife to her neck. Egyn's eyes flashed but she remained calm and placed a hand on her hip "If you leave us be I won't kill you."
"Aaah~ Sebby, such a charmer, how could I forget? I'm sure if you can beg enough and live through your sentence for evading us for so long, he may reinstate you instead of just killing you." The woman twisted her head and licked her lips seductively. Sebastian seemed to move but Izumo couldn't follow the action so it looked like a blur but a moment later he was holding the handle of the knife and was pushing it into her exposed stomach and tore it to one side, opening a huge gash which dripped a dark blue liquid down her front. Egyn flinched and spun out of his grip, landing a few feet away from him. "Are you trying to hurt me or seduce me?" The air around her fluttered and a cloud of tiny shards of what looked like crystal formed above her head. "I'll take that as you have no intention of being a good little pet." The shards shot towards Sebastian and he effortlessly stepped out of the way.
"I thought you knew me better than this, now where is that oversized volcano hiding?" Sebastian said in amusement as he pulled and threw various pieces of cutlery at Egyn. Rin's flames burst from his body and he charged forwards. Shura cursed at Izumo's side and she joined the fight, shortly followed by Undertaker. Izumo watched in horror as Rin clumsily flung his sword at Egyn, narrowly missing Shura who grabbed him by the tail and flung him away from the battle and out of the way of the deadly icicles. Egyn's shrieks of pleasure turned into grunts as she struggled against the three opponents as she dodged out of Shura's swords way but had one of her strands of hair was severed. She snarled in anger and jumped up high out of reach of the others, her body curved backwards and her arms stretched high above her and a millisecond later, she threw them forwards and an endless stream of water, enough to fill a large river in minutes, conjured from between her outer stretched arms and left them all waist deep in grey tinted water. Before anyone could do anything, Egyn clicked her fingers and the small sea turned to solid ice. Izumo struggled as the ice held her firmly in place and restricted her movement.
"SEBASTIAN! WHAT DO WE DO?!" She yelled, trying and failing to break free. The woman above floated and touched down on the ice.
Rin POV
Rin was glad he had stood up before the water had frozen him in place but panic started to form in the pit of his stomach as the supposed King of Water paced towards him. She knelt on one knee before him and pinched his chin, forcing him to look at her maniacal face.
"You'll make such a beautiful prince, your throne awaits." She purred as she leant in to his hear and Rin felt physically sick. His flames burst to life around him once more and Egyn pounced backwards. The odd sensation around his arms and lower half confirmed that his flames had melted the ice and he didn't stop to think about it for even a moment, he lunged at her, sword raised above his head and his flames dancing wildly around him getting wilder and wilder as he travelled through the air at lightning speed. His sword clashed with the gold armband adorning Egyn's wrist and she hunched over to meet his immense strength. Jumping back, he raised his sword again and slashed it forward and opened a deep gash on Egyn's inner arm. She hissed and the wound smoked.
"A demon blade eh? Theirs more to you than meets the eye." Egyn jumped backwards and landed well out of Rin's reach, her previous smile replaced with a slight frown. She put her hand to her lips and let out a deafening whistle. Rin dropped kurikara and hands over his ears as the noise pulsated through his head and made his entire world spin. It stopped a split second later and Rin grabbed for kurikara. Their was an almighty roar that seemed to carry for miles around and Rin twisted towards the mountain they had been hiding in earlier, above it emerged a rock-like golem shape that climbed over the side of the mountain like it was a small hill in the park. The golem seemed to stand and 'wha the hell?' Rin began to think as the huge rock creature jumped. It came closer and closer and landed with either foot on either side of the are where everyone was standing and the ice floor beneath his feet shattered into billions of tiny shards. Rin fall to his knees and froze in place as he stared up at the 'lump of rock' that Sebastian had described earlier. In the midst of the hopelessness of EVERYTHING, Rin made a rough estimate that the rock that seemed to emit red sparks was easily over 35ft tall.
"RIN! MOVE!" The distant cry of Shura swam in one ear and out the other as Rin felt the full adversity of the situation, time slowed down as he heard Shura running towards him, heard the cackling of Egyn as she sent icicles shooting in all directions and watched as the huge rock-rfire demon slowly reached a gnarled hand towards him. 'This was it, their was no point in fighting, why not just give up? Yukio will recover and be safe in Assiah, maybe it was time Rin sacrificed himself once for his twins sake. If he ' The rock golem seemed to bend down and it's face came into view, its rocky face was only recognisable by the glaring eye shaped hole and dark smile shapes that glowed red. His vision swam as he gave himself to whatever foreign feelings seemed to tug at his sanity and he distantly heard a crunching noise that sounded like someone running over gravel. His flames intensified around him without his consent and he felt himself rise, distantly aware of a stabbing feeling on his knees. He seemed to be running on auto pilot, unable to control himself but aware of his body moving on his own and the presence of another 'being' inside his head, laughing at him as his fears, sadness, desperation all consumed him until he felt as if his own mind was shrinking, being pushed down to some place unknown. He saw kurikara held by hands -his hands maybe?- In front of him and his flames exploded around him, melting, burning, destroying and consuming.
Undertaker POV
Undertaker smiled to himself as he felt a change in the air, the heat from Rocky's flames where scorching even at the distance he had ended up away from the rest in his death dance with Rainy. but in a couple of seconds, that heat easily tripled. He turned to see Blueberry directing his flames at Rocky who's lower legs where completely engulfed in the pretty blue flames that climbed his oversized body. Rocky roared and took an earth shattering step back and shot his own bright orange flames at Blueberry which thinned when they met the blue haze and disappeared as if being consumed. As if to confirm it, the blue flames grew even bigger and creeped their way up Rockys torso and tickle his chin. He let out another almighty roar and Undertaker was momentarily distracted as the lump of rocks feet started to disintegrate and float away like coal tars in the wind. He brought his scythe up just quickly enough to watch the large, sharp ice shard Rainy had stabbed at him with shatter to pieces against his blade. HE mad a movement to quick for even a demon to keep tabs on and and spun to one side, angling his scythe downwards and when he came to a stop, more of that pretty dark blue liquid coated his blade. Rainy screeched and fell to one knee, clutching at the stub just below her shoulder that was previously attached to the rest of her arm which now twitched on the ground and started turning into a grey tinted liquid.
"It's a shame I wont be able to make a coffin fit for the queen of water, maybe a nice jug would be more appropriate?" He chuckled and envisioned himself carving an elaborate jug adorned with shells and starfish. Rainy panted and gave him an icy stare (pun intended)
"Just who the hell are you? Whatever you're planning, you wont get much further, Father will see to that." Undertaker chuckled.
Me? Why I am but a lowly Undertaker, Now, about that jug, or maybe a vase?" In the midst of Undertakers excited ramblings, he froze in place as a tormented clamor drowned out all of his senses. HE sharply turned to see Rocky reaching down to Blueberry's tiny form. Said fruit easily jumped out of Rockys reach and jumped into the air, reaching great heights even for a frenzied royal demon and slashed his sword mid air. Rocky roared again and his leg detached itself from the rest of the waling mountain and, much to Undertakers amusement, everything but his leg started falling to the ground. His chuckle caught in his throat as he caught sight of Plum pulling Wench's arms who was lying on the sea of melting ice shards with her leg appearing to be caught under a rock. Undertaker took a wild but accurate swing in Rainy's direction and revealed in the hiss she let out and the little rain of blue droplets that splattered his face as he successfully severed her other arm. He darted forwards at full speed, dodging the falling pieces of Rocky s body that hit the ground noisily. He stopped inches away from the rock holding Wench hostage and lifted it with minimal strain and practically tossing it aside, he plucked the woman from the ground and set her on her feet much to her protests and ran in blueberry's direction with a back glance at the ladies.
"Get yourselves away from here" They didn't need telling twice. He turned his attention to the problem of the now erratic brother who, having defeated his enemy, was hissing and growling in all directions, swinging his sword around like it where a baton and his flames shot out In all directions at nothing in particular. He quickly scanned the area and spotted Sebastian holding Salad boy who was looking wide eyed at Rin with a admirably maniacal grin plastered across his head.
"Let me go! I want to play with are little brother! He looks like such fun!" Salad boy was shouting in glee. Typical, all hell is breaking loose in hell itself and Salad boy wants to play games, Undertaker would expect no less from the cabbage family. Sebastian was glaring at him, utter repulsion on his face. He adjusted his grip on the overgrown broccoli and tossed him backwards and sent him flying 20 meters behind him. Sebastian caught his eye and they both rushed to Blueberry, ignored the scorching heat of his flames and Undertaker caught both his arms in his grasp, twisting slightly so he dropped the sword. Sebastian clapped his hands on either sides of his Rin's face and pulled it to his. Undertaker chuckled to himself when Sebastian started calling his name, he found it amusing but he knew that any human would probably flee in fear at the tone of his voice alone. Something flashed across Blueberrys expression and his misshapen pupils that Undertaker had only just noticed shuddered and turned back to their normal shape.
"S-sebastian? Wha-"
"We need to move." Without awaiting confirmation, Sebastian yanked Blueberry and they where once again running in the direction of Plum and Wench. They passed Rainy who was knelt on the floor looking at one tiny stub of an arm to the other and cursing in rage. She saw them pass and threw another cloud of much larger icicles but they where off target and missed. They where about 20 paces behind the girls but it would take them two seconds to catch up to them had Sebastian slowed his pace at the sight of four black figures moving through the air. Judging by how they got bigger and bigger as they crossed the sky at such an alacrity, it could only mean a fight. The figures hit the ground just ahead of Wench and Plum. Now at a standstill, Undertaker could see three purple haired males who where identical apart from the slight differ in their hairstyles and a woman in a maids outfit with a tanned complexion and long wavy silver hair.
Rin POV
Rin didn't know what to make of the figures, of all things he didn't expect to find a woman dressed as a maid or triplets dressed in similar attire to Sebastian's. Everyone had came to a standstill, the demons ahead didn't move and everyone had stopped, waiting for something to happen. Apart from the crashing of rocks some space behind them, everything had come to an unsettling still. Rin waited with his sword held in front of him and his flames blazing freely around him, ready to fight to the death if it came to it. Sebastian cleared his throat to grab his attention and spoke so softly it was almost inaudible.
"Don't move, They're servants of the palace, powerful. If anything happens find cover and I'll find you and head them off." Sebastian crouched to spring forward but their was a whirl of motion up ahead. Their was some sort of exchange between the newcomers, Shura and Izumo and the redhead bit her finger and swiped it across one side of the blade, uttered something that makes the blade the blade distort and changed shape. From their on time seemed to slow down as Rin observed, frozen in fear.
1 second - Shura swung the huge purple weapon and shouted her signature 'snake fang!' and sent a deadly rush of air towards the group. As fast as the attach was, the demons where faster and flitted(1) out of the way of the incoming attack with ease.
2 seconds - Izumo gave it a shot and sent her byakko's at the nearest demon but with a wave of the woman in maid's uniform's arm, they where reduced to little more than vapour as if she was swatting flies.
4 seconds - The 'sevents' as Sebastian had referred to them as, split up in opposite directions, The triplets towards Shura and the maid to Izumo. The triplets movements looked like little more than a blur of black and purple as they split up and shot at Shura from different angles, She swung her sword around with formidable skill but even with that kind of power, she only just managed to fend off their attacks and her focused face became strained.
8 seconds - While Shura fought them off with everything she had, Izumo was left defenceless without her foxes. The maid manifested before Izumo and with another deadly swing of her arm, held Izumo at arms length by the neck, sinking her stiletto nails into her throat.
11 seconds - One millisecond he was looking at Izumo struggling against the maids grasp who's face warped into a malicious grin, the next he was looking at the demon through a smog or red dew within the blink of an eye. He watched the cloud as it slowly descended towards the floor and was able to identify tiny fragments of gore soaked fabric and one particular piece of cloth stained Red that was identical to that of the true cross uniform tie and bow.
13 seconds – The maid turned and joined the fight against Shura which was was quickly revealing itself as a pointless pursuit. When the maid came within distance, the triplets ceased their persistent attacks and formed a square formation around her like this was a sick game of ring-around-a-rosie. Shura swung her sword with reinforced determination but they evaded her easily and slowly approached he, boxing her in.
18 seconds – Their was another flurry of motion that Rin's already ebbing mind couldn't process and between the four, they each grabbed one of Shura's limbs, the maid holding her sword hand and pulled it from her grip with ease rendering her immobile and defenceless. A disturbing sound started low and grew from the group, laughter. Wretched, harrowing, maniacal laughter. The maid look a look at the sword and moved it towards her face, letting her tongue run the length of the blade where Shura had swiped her blood along it. She gave an eerily satisfying sigh and plunged the sword into Shura's exposed Stomach, extracting a scream that widened her sickening smile. She flung her head back and laughed as she withdrew the sword and drove it forward again, and again.
30 seconds - The circle of demons laughed and shrieked like children playing games. Only this wasn't a game, this was the reality. Death and destruction was Rin's reality and his mind unravelled at its seam as the reality of everything suffocated him, drowned him. Shura had stopped screaming and her body went limp and fell to the ground as the demons dropped her. The group of demons stood stock still with ominous cheshire grins splitting their faces. Rin was paralysed, rooted to the spot as his eyes showed him what was happening but his mind blocked it out like he where watching a horror movie and not his friends lives ripped from them in seconds. He didn't even notice the shouts from Sebastian and Undertaker as his flames became wild and uncontrollable, much like he felt his mind was. He felt his demon side take over but this time he was distantly aware that he was in control. He pushed his whirlwind of grief and hatred down and focused on his new found power and untapped strength and fcused every fiber of that energy towards the demons. He Crossed the distance between himself and the demons and slashed his sword, feeling it connect with something pliable like flesh and easily force its way through. More unintelligible shouting and calls of his name but it didn't matter. He wanted to rip, to maim. He spun around and swung again at the nearest person but this time they where ready. The Woman's grin had turned to anger and she came at him with her nails angled into one focused point and she hurtled her whole hand into his stomach. He tried to swing his sword but the sadistic demon moved her hand around inside him and he writhed, dropping his sword. Her other hand had found it's way to his face and she forced him backwards, his head hitting the floor with shattering impact that instantly sent him into darkness.
