Hungry For More

"Finally, I've been practically starved of excitement while I waited for you guys to show up," shouted Limos as Micheal and the rest of them entered his chambers. He opened his arms, welcoming them in and showing them to a chair. However, despite his seemingly pleasant entrance...they knew that was not his true nature. This was not a friendly 'meet-and-greet'. The dead bodies on the floor told them otherwise. "So are we ready for the main course?" As he said that, they could see his razor sharp teeth hiding behind a false friendly smile.

He was met with a sharp blade, jetting out and being held up against his neck. Ash was not in the mood for his jokes, however, it seemed to Limos that Ash was the one joking around. Such a slow movement...that Limos could block with one hand. He chuckled and waved the gang to the table once more. "I'm sorry, do you guys honestly expect something like that to work against me? That's why I invited you here! To make sure you guys are ready to fight me. I always preferred my own oven." He said as he snapped his fingers and Souls fell from the ceiling, plopping loudly on the plate. "Who's ready for a delicious meal?" They were Kishin souls...and a few Witch souls mixed in. "I heard that guys get incredibly powerful when you guys eat 100 Kishin Eggs and then one Witch soul. So go ahead dig in."

"Why?" asked Michael as he quickly loaded an arrow and pointed it at his head, "you do know that once we eat these things that we'll get more powerful than you...so the only reason why you are making such an offer is because it must be a trap. Well, I hate to break it to you, but we aren't really in the eating mood."

"Or it is simply because I hate eating undercooked meat," Limos laughed as he moved back to his seat, "have you ever heard of the saying 'you are what you eat'? Well, I'm simply living by that rule right here and now. Even cow farmers know that in order to make the best hamburg you must feed your cow the best grass. Well, that's all I'm doing right now, you guys are my livestocks I just want you guys to get plump, turn into Kobe steaks rather then...what you are now." He said that last bit with a particularly disgusted face which caused most of them to give themselves a glance over. "Afterwards, I'll tenderize you!" He disappeared only to reappear next to one of the dead bodies, launching a swift kick into its gut, "season you." A burst of his Madness Wavelength into it caused the body to launch into the air, charred beyond belief. "And then swallow you whole." His tongue snapped out and rolled around the body before sucking it back into his gaping jaw. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth clean of any residue the body had left behind. "Don't get me wrong...this is in no way, shape, or form a trap it is simply my desire to get the very best taste out of you."

"What if I said I still don't believe you?" it was more of a statement than a question, but Michael was fairly certain he had gotten his point across. Limos looked a little bit hurt, but that was probably just feigned. Michael quickly pulled back on the arrow even farther increasing the strength and speed it would have should he decide to let it go. Still if this wasn't a trap should they still partake in it? It made no sense for them not to, he supposed...having it be four death scythes against one god-like witch...wouldn't that be for the best.

"Then you die," Limos stated that plainly despite the heavy consequences of such words. The gang bit their lips and looked up at him. He waved his hand and created four separate large spears that aimed at all of them. "I'm not afraid to kill you unlike my brothers were. Surely if they had gone all out on you four you'd be squished beneath the heel of their boots by now." This really did seem like he was trying to compel them into trusting him. However, it seemed like they wouldn't have to worry about that. The man from Pluto had already made his move. He shuffled behind Limos and had his arm already at the ready, lifting it into the air and then striking it back down on top of him. Limos laughed, blocking the attack with one arm. "Really? Another small fry has come to fight with me. How ridiculous."

"What's ridiculous is how easily you've fallen into my trap," muttered the man from Pluto as he tightened his grip on Limos' arm. Another bright white light emanated from his hand causing Limos' eyes to widened. The explosion could probably be heard from all the way back at the DWMA. The man from Pluto landed awkwardly after surviving the back draft, but Limos was worse off. His entire arm had been blown to bits. "As a man from Pluto my power easily matches up to yours," he muttered taking a quick step forward and toward Limos. Limos looked uneasy, his head flashing between the man and his new stub of an arm.

"Ha ha ha!" Limos laughed as he lifted his stub into the air as a new fresh arm sprouted from it. "You did get me pretty well. Now its only fair if you let me return the favor." A large ghastly jaw appeared around the man from Pluto, but he didn't seem bothered by it as his entire body lit up in the same light as before. He exploded taking the jaw out, but leaving himself physically unscathed. "This is why I prefer weapon and meisters people like you I just don't understand. What's your power? Is it like that weakling from before who was storing Soul Wavelength in his gloves? Cause I've already taken him out."

"No cheap tricks here," muttered the man from Pluto, "as a matter of fact you've already said what I am." He pulled his arm back and let it transform into a glove. "I'm a weapon. A very unique weapon at that. I'm a glove can generate any number of deadly bombs or explosion using my Soul Wavelength. I could've applied to have joined the DWMA and I probably would've soared through the rankings, but...I hate being classified as a Weapon. It sounds so inhuman, besides then my meister would be having all the fun in destroying my opponents and I would only be stuck on their hand...used to do their bidding. And that just sounds bloody awful."

"I agree with you," muttered Limos as he created another ball of pure madness Wavelength. "It does sound horrible...but trust me perhaps if you were with someone I wouldn't be about to kill you, I would be about to kill your partner." He hurled the ball at him, but the man didn't even budge. He created a back draft, an explosion that created a strong enough wind and force to blast the away from him. Limos smiled. "I guess there may be a slight chance you may actually be able to hit me again. However, that's only since I'm holding back...I didn't want to disturb my guest before desert." The gang just kind of rolled their eyes. They appreciated his effort, but it didn't really help. They were still in the enemy's home...and he was still a god-like monster hell-bent on destroying them and eating their soul. "I guess however, I'll have to move on to the preparation for the meal. Lucky them, getting dinner and a show!" There was a strong pulse that circled around him, taking to the air and continuously pulsing outwards and preparing to devour anyone that came at him.

Of course, even worse then that was their minds. There was steady seed in their minds that was planted and beginning to grow. It created an insane emptiness in the pit of their stomachs...they wanted something. A steady craving building up in their bodies...they needed something more. They wanted it. They shook their heads. They would just have to ignore it for the time being. However, Limos was just smiling.

"I can create a form of desire in people's bodies," stated Limos, "I can starve them of anything. This overwhelming sense of desire drives people to do insane things. Vigrid can kill hundreds of men, Lord Death is a man with tons of untapped potential, and Marburg is a man who can release a plague to kill everybody off without even the slightest effort. Me? I can make people do inhuman things. This desire I stir in people can turn them into monsters, into Kishins. If people desire something they will do anything to get it."

"Yeah, cause you are controlling them," shouted Helena, quite possibly the most active she's been throughout this entire mission. Limos smiled, kicking his head back and shaking his head.

"I only cause the desire not what they do because of it. They act like monsters not because of their desires, but because of what they are. They are kishins at heart and they will always act like Kishins the instant they feel that they need to. As soon as this disguise of a perfectly normal human becomes too cumbersome they shed it and reveal their true colors, that of your so-called disgusting 'evil' Kishins," he laughed, "humans are Kishins, sweethearts! Kishins are humans! We are the same, just some are more honest than others."

"Stop arguing with him," stated the man from Pluto as he brushed the kids aside. "Just kill him!" He burst forward like a rocket, aiming his massive meaty fist at Limos. There was a loud explosion as his fist cut through the air and wound up missing Limos by a few bare inches. Limos struck forward, letting his Madness Wavelength flow freely from his body as he slammed his fist into his gut. This was met with a powerful slap, but Limos blocked it with ease. There was a flash of realization across his face as he remembered what had happened last time he had blocked an attack. Limos threw the hand away just as he detonated it. "Almost got your arm again."

"I know I don't think I would've ever lived it down had you actually gotten me twice," he pointed out. Limos leaned back as an arrow whizzed by his head. He turned about to converse with Michael when Ash and Xander came down from above with a slice from their gauntlet. Limos chuckled, backing away and moving swiftly. He found it funny, that these people actually thought that they could beat him. Did they already forget about his power? "Just days ago this island was teeming with life and now...here you are trying to defeat me?" he mocked. "You stand no chance!" Next up was Shi's attack. The little insane yo-yo whizzed by, it was by far the most far off attack so far missing Limos by more than a foot.

However, that was only step one it flew past him bounced off of a sheet of paper from Helena's weapon and was sent careening back forward to form a proper attack at him. Limos stepped back, unwittingly stepping right into the string of Shi's yo-yo. As Melody kicked on her Soul Resonance the string burst into flames, lightly scorching Limos back...admittedly it would've done better if he hadn't already been moving away from it. However, the evidence was still there. They had landed an attack on him.
