Chapter 17

"Well, well..." A man with silver hair said as he walked out from behind a rock. "I never thought I'd face down someone who forced Kokabiel into a standstill in his prime and an Amazoness who's on par with the strongest fighters in Hell."

Cologne and Vasco, both with some bruises on their bodies, looked at the young-looking man in surprise. "A friend of yours?" Cologne asked and Vasco shook his head. "I suppose this means that the tournament is over, huh?" She wondered what the glasses the man was wearing were as she sensed a strong magic covering them.

"My name is Euclid." The man said as he reached up and removed his glasses. "And sadly for the two of you, I'm going to be keeping you busy while things go down in other places." Euclid sighed and shook his head. "I was supposed to deal with that half Vampire, but he lost his fight. Oh well. Killing the two strongest humans on the planet will have to do." He took a step forward as his eyes glowed and disappeared.

"What the?" Vasco said before he let out a yell at the same time Cologne did and both fell to their knees while Euclid re-appeared behind them. Grimacing, Vasco turned and launched himself at Euclid, who merely smirked and seemingly disappeared again, only for him to reappear right in front of Vasco, who jerked from several strong attacks before being launched away from Euclid and into a rock.

"And you fought Kokabiel to a draw?" Euclid chuckled before disappearing again as Cologne jumped at him. He reappeared with his knee buried into her stomach, sending her flying into a tree. "And despite having your youth restored to you, I can't tell that you're one of the strongest people on the planet." The silver haired man yawned.

Vasco grimaced. 'That wasn't super speed. I could have at least seen it coming. It's like he's teleporting around, but there's no...' His thoughts were cut off as Euclid appeared in front of him, grinning. The next thing the bald man knew, he was being struck over and over again before being slammed into the ground and then picked up and thrown to where Cologne was.

The young matriarch looked up and had to get to her feet to catch Vasco. "I've seen this before." Vasco looked at her as the two separated. "He's either moving so fast that we can't react, or he's stopping time."

"Oh, you figured it out?" Euclid asked and the two turned to see him behind them before he disappeared. The next thing either of them knew, they were slammed, face first, into the ground. "Too bad that doesn't mean you'll survive." He said as he disappeared.

Both Cologne and Vasco immediately rolled out of the way as he reappeared with his fist buried in the ground where Cologne had just been. "What?!" Euclid gasped in surprise as he stared at them. "How?!"

Vasco rushed at Euclid, who disappeared, only to reappear right in front of Vasco. Before Euclid could do anything, he was slammed by a flying kick, sending him flying to the side.

Cologne smirked at the silver-haired Devil. "You're getting slower. You have the power to stop time and attack while time is stopped, but you keep reappearing in normal time. Meaning..."

"You can't keep the time freeze going for too long." Vasco finished for her as he looked at Euclid.

"So what?" Euclid yelled as he threw an arm out to the side and a wicked-looking sword appeared in it. "I still have enough left in the tank to deal with both of you." He disappeared again.

Cologne closed her eyes before snapping her left hand out to the side, a short sword appearing in it and blocking an attack by Euclid, who had been trying to get her from behind. Cologne gave him a look that had the Devil freeze in his place. It was a look of a human who was truly centuries old, even if she was in the body she had as a young adult. The look was one that showed wealth of experience that truly rivaled long-lived Devils.

But mostly, it was a look of pure disgust and contempt.

Euclid disappeared again as Vasco punched through where he had been a moment before. "Got a plan?"

"Yes." Cologne nodded as she closed her eyes and swapped her sword for her cane. "When I was a child there was a clan of Indian warriors who could stop time for a few seconds at a time. Something about the world or whatever." She grinned as she stamped the tip of her staff into the ground a few times. "Too bad for this one, the counter measures is something I'll never forget."

Euclid appeared behind Cologne, stabbing his sword at her back as blood poured out of his eyes. "DIE!"

"No thanks." Cologne smiled as she stomped her foot, a magic sigil appearing under her and Euclid and washing over both of them. When it was over, Euclid was standing still with a shocked expression on his face while Cologne merely looked on pleasantly.

"What did you do?" Vasco asked her.

Cologne chuckled. "Temporal manipulation is a dangerous power. All I did was use an inversion spell. Instead of stopping time for everyone but him... He stopped time for himself."

Vasco chuckled as he looked at the frozen body of Euclid. "Clever. Very clever. It's too bad the tournament was canceled, I would love to have faced you fully."

"When this situation is over, perhaps we can have our match for real." Cologne said with a chuckle. "Anyway, we should go see if there are others who need our help."

"Good point." Vasco said with a nod and the two left Euclid frozen in time.

Meanwhile...

The mists swirled and spun as the air itself rocked from an explosion of two powerful forces colliding.

Morrigan glared as she flew upwards towards Lilith, who was flapping her wings hard and fast to get away. "You should give up!" Unlike her other self, Morrigan's wings were in the shape of a jet pack and she was using her power to launch her into the air at near super sonic speeds.

"You know, you're pretty desperate for someone who's likely on death's door." Lilith commented as she dropped straight down. She clapped her hands and held them straight up as Morrigan flew past her and did a loop upwards before rushing straight down at Lilith. "Light... RAZE!"

Lilith's body glowed for a moment before a powerful pillar of golden light erupted upwards at Morrigan, who swung her arms to the side and then swung them forward in an arc and a shield of black energy formed in front of her as the light washed over her.

Morrigan grimaced as the power that washed over her caused her barrier to shake and she was pushed back into the sky. Realizing that she couldn't get close, she turned her wings to the side and flew out of the beam. After getting out of the beam, she threw her arms to the side as her wings transformed and fired bat-like shapes at Lilith as though they were missiles.

Canceling her attack, Lilith flapped her wings and flew above the missiles, only to gasp as they turned in mid-air and managed to strike her. After being engulfed in an explosion, Lilith fell in the sky before letting out a yell and electricity blasted off from her in all directions.

Morrigan threw her arms up as lightning crackled around her in various directions, when the electricity covered her body, she let loose a moan of both pain and pleasure. "Ngh, that hurts but also feels nice."

Lilith was covered in soot from the explosion and had some small cuts on her arms, legs and chest. "Well, that explains why I like it when Master gets rough with me."

"And there you go again." Morrigan snapped at Lilith as she threw her arm to the side. "Calling him your master. If you were really a part of me, you'd despise him for enslaving you. For taking away your freedom."

Lilith tilted her head. "He didn't take away my freedom. I willingly bonded my soul to him. He and I are one." She flapped her wings as she took off. "I know you're old and probably outlived a lot of people..."

"Don't talk like you know me!" Morrigan yelled as her aura exploded outwards. Her eyes glowed as she punched forward and her aura erupted into a giant ball of energy that launched itself at Lilith, who dove to avoid it, only to gasp as the attack, for as large as it was, turned on a dime and rocketed towards her.

Lilith spun in mid-air as the attack rushed at her before several nearly clear walls formed in front of her. While they didn't stop the attack, they did slow it down and weaken it while she was flying away before the attack, to Lilith's surprise, sped up, slammed into her body and exploded violently, sending Lilith crashing face-first into the ground. "Urgh." She grimaced as she did a flip to get back to her feet. "Landing on my boobs hurt."

"I bet it does!" Morrigan yelled as she came crashing down in a diving kick with her wings removed from her back and wrapped around her extended leg, turning it into an over-sized spiral drill that Lilith had to avoid while Morrigan's attack slammed into the ground, creating a crator. "Come on, can't you do more?"

Lilith was about to say something when the mists swirled around her and Morrigan, eventually getting so thick that neither Succubus could see each other. There was a rush of wind that had Lilith covering her face and she blinked in surprise as she watched Morrigan, as a little girl, grow up, surrounded by children, to becoming a young adult surrounded by dozens of people, both male and female in various states of clothing, lust and various body fluids covering them.

However, what surprised Lilith, was how little Morrigan seemed to care about them. "...You never had anyone, did you?" Lilith whispered as the faces changed and became fewer and fewer over the years. "...You never reached out to anyone, you never tried to be friends with anyone."

"I need no friends!" Morrigan's voice suddenly broke through and Lilith turned, just in time to get hit with a flying kick that had her staggering backwards. While she staggered backwards, Morrigan rushed forward and struck Lilith in the face with her left hand before launching an uppercut that hit Lilith in her breasts, causing the purple-haired Succubus to cry out and fly backwards into a rock. "People are temporary! Why bother forming bonds when you'll outlive them?!"

"That's... Sad." Lilith gave Morrigan a look of pity. "To think that I could have been like you."

"And what do you mean by that?!" Morrigan yelled as she leaped at Lilith, only to pause as the mists thickened back up and a strong gust of wind picked up, causing Morrigan to gasp as the purple-gray mists obscured Lilith and revealed the Succubus when she was younger, a young boy and an older man who had thinning hair all traveling together, fighting and the older man actually teaching not only the boy but Lilith ways to fight.

"What?" Morrigan stepped back and stared as more and more people appeared in front of her, eventually surrounding her. From Kunou and Yasaka to Yohko, Bulleta, Nabiki, a slightly faded Ryouga, Cologne, Happosai, Mittelt, Atsuko, Azazel, Rias, Issei, Akeno, Irina, Xenovia, Asia and more just stood there looking at Morrigan.

"I'm not so proud to not ask for help." Lilith said as she walked out of the mists. "I'm strong enough that I typically don't need help." She stood before the images of Ranma and Genma as she looked at Morrigan. "Genma, despite his mistakes, made sure both Master and myself could survive anything that was thrown in front of us." She stood tall and proud as power pooled around her. "Everyone you see, they're with me at all times." Sure, she was terrified of Yasaka, but the Big Tittied Fox MILF was part of Ranma's family and thus was part of her family. "You ended up alone. Me?" Lilith spread her arms out and motioned to everyone. "I have people. I have a family. Something you wish you had."

"This..." Morrigan stared as she looked around her. "...You're so weak!" She growled and pointed at Lilith. "What makes you think that having friends matters!?"

Lilith simply said nothing and held out her hands. "We both know that the two of us will merge together after this fight, Morrigan. You're completely alone. I have people to go back to. That's the difference between us."

Morrigan let loose a yell as darkness started to swirl around her. "Don't give me that power of friendship bullshit! You think that just because you have people that believe in you that it will keep you safe?! You know what happened to our great-grandfather! And even if we merged back together, we're not going to be as strong as he was!"

"Maybe." Lilith nodded. "But I don't intend to change the world, unlike some people." She paused for a moment. "Well, if I had the power, I'd fix one small problem."

"And what's that?" Morrigan asked as the darkness around her built up.

Lilith smiled at Morrigan. "It's simple. I'd let the Angels have the ability to fall in love and have children without becoming Fallen." Morrigan gave her a look of dumbfounded shock and Lilith looked up. "When I found out that Angels can't have sex without becoming Fallen, I thought it was bullshit. After Irina nearly became a Fallen because of those lousy Shikima, it only reinforced what I thought awhile ago."

"Fucking Shikima." Morrigan grumbled, recalling an unpleasant experience with those tentacle Demons. "And why do you care about Angels? They're our enemies."

"Irina's not my enemy. She's a friend." Lilith countered.

Morrigan sneered and let loose a yell as her body started to glow.

"What are you..." Lilith began before her eyes widened. "Okay, stop, I know what you're doing, but do you really..." She trailed off as Morrigan's body glowed black as she was subsumed by the darkness. Morrigan let loose a yell and a burst of pure darkness erupted from her body, forcing Lilith to flinch away and throw up her arms to block out the rush of dark energy. When the energy was done, Morrigan stood there... Well, she looked like Morrigan with her long hair disheveled, her wings far larger and more nightmarish with sharp pointed tips and ridges, her eyes were blood red and glowing. However, what made Lilith a bit nervous was the fact that Morrigan's feet looked similar to a goat's hooves with fur that covered her legs and went up to her hips to cover her crotch. Out of her backside was a spade-tipped tail. Her breasts were completely exposed, but the front of them looked like open mouths. Her arms were covered in scales and her fingers were long and sharp. "...Ewww, nightmare fuel."

"Oh shut up." Morrigan growled at her and swung her right arm to the side, sending a wave of cutting air at Lilith, who tried to avoid it, only to cry out as her wings were cut in half, rending them from her body. "You should know that all Demons are Youkai who gave into their power." Morrigan took a few steps forward while her breast mouths opened up, revealing long, thin tongues and sharp, jagged teeth. Morrigan stabbed her left arm forward and her fingers extended, stabbing into Lilith's arms and legs before lifting her up and pulling her other self close while keeping her arms and legs spread open. "I wonder..." Morrigan tilted her head before grinning. "I wonder how lovely your screams of pain will be!"

Lilith's eyes widened as the mouths on Morrigan's breasts suddenly spat fire, bathing her body in flames while Morrigan laughed.

"This is what you gave up when you became someone's slave!" Morrigan yelled as the flames coming from her breasts increased in intensity. "You gave up everything!" The older Succubus held up her right hand as the fingers morphed into a solid blade. "You said that you had people that you cared for and that they cared for you, so where are they now when you need help? HUH?! NOWHERE!" Morrigan sneered and shook her head. "In the end, we all end up alone. SO WHY BOTHER CARING FOR ANYONE?!"

In the flames, Lilith groaned in pain. 'Fuck, this hurts, what kind of fire is this? Hellfire? It hurts so much!' She screwed her eyes closed to try and block out the pain while wiggling the fingers on her hands. 'Come on, I know how to do this, I just need to... Like this!'

Unseen to Morrigan, a long, pole-like barrier formed behind her, before launching forward at the monologuing Succubus.

Morrigan jerked in surprise, her eyes wide as she took a step forward. "What the hell!?" She looked back and down and groaned as she felt something being shoved into her ass. "NGH! I know I'm a slut that loves anal sex, but I usually know when something is going into that hole!"

Before Morrigan could react, her right arm was encased in a barrier, jerking her to the side and causing the flame from her breasts to pull off of Lilith, who had skin that was smoking from the attack. Lilith gave Morrigan an annoyed look before squeezing her fingers. There was several slices that came out of nowhere, cutting Morrigan's long fingers in half and freeing Lilith, who landed on her feet and cried out in pain. "Fuck, that fire fucking hurt you fucking bitch!"

Panting, Lilith glowed with a soft golden light, causing the long nails that were in her arms and legs to break apart and fall down, leaving holes in her body.

Morrigan ignored that as she focused her power to break the barrier around her right arm. There were some cracks before it finally shattered and freed her arm. When the barrier disappeared, Morrigan's right arm had returned to normal. After flexing her fingers a few times, she turned to glare at Lilith. "Time to end this."

Standing up, Lilith gave Morrigan a look of determination as her fallen Succubus wings glowed with light and flowed towards her, circling her body. "You're right, Morrigan." The light got so bright that Morrigan had to turn her face away and shield her eyes from the brightness. "It is time to end this."

"Your own beastial form?" Morrigan growled as the light died down. Lowering her arms, she looked at Lilith and her face showed complete shock. "...What in the name of the Abyss?"

Hovering just off the ground in front of her was Lilith, only dressed in a white two-piece outfit. Her large breasts were covered by a single strap top and her bottom looked like a harem dancer outfit, though pure white. On her head were her normal Succubus wings, but on her back were six more wings. The top ones were her normal Succubus wings, under them were her Devil wings, but what shocked Morrigan was the feathery wings under those, both pitch black. "...Fallen Angel wings?" She blinked as she realized that they weren't completely black like she had assumed, the tips and edges were white. "...How? You aren't an Angel. Just because our grandfather was one doesn't make us one."

"I've stopped asking questions about the weirdness in my life." Lilith muttered, her eyes having changed, one being its normal red and the other one being blue, her hair, which was normally purple, had red and black tips to it. "I blame the fact that I'm bonded with Master. Who knows? Maybe one of his ancestors was a Fallen Angel or something." It certainly wouldn't surprise her. "So, Morrigan..." She held her right hand to the side and a sphere of pure light energy formed there. "Shall we continue?" She thrust her right hand forward and streams of light rushed out towards Morrigan, who flapped her wings and the streams of light seemingly missed as they tore up the ground before arcing upwards and chasing after Morrigan, who flew in a circular pattern and spun to avoid them before launching tendrils of darkness from her wings that wrapped around the light tendrils, causing both attacks to crack and cancel each other out.

"Dark..." Morrigan growled as several magic circles formed in the air around her. "RUSH!"

From the circles, black bubbles slowly creeped out of them, before exploding violently, sending a rush of black and purple energy down at Lilith, who quickly found herself flying to avoid the attacks. She looked over her shoulder and gasped as the energy pillars crashing into the ground only caused lightning and black orbs to fly off in all directions towards her.

"It would have been less painful to get hit by the dark energy, Lilith!" Morrigan taunted as she launched more dark energy pillars at Lilith.

Glaring upwards as the attack rushed down at her, Lilith flipped her body around and created several barriers in front of her, becoming a pyramid shape, before rushing upwards at super high speeds and crashing through the dark energy as she tried to get to Morrigan. Lilith grimaced but was thankful that the barriers were splitting the energy and allowing it to wash over her without rushing over her. Holding her arms out as the power rushed over the barrier, Lilith could feel it straining. 'Got... One chance.' Focusing her energy, the barrier started to glow a bright golden color before erupting outwards, shattering the black energy pillar, much to Morrigan's shock as she stared as Lilith flew up at her, yelling while light swords formed in her hands. When she got close enough, she threw the light blades at Morrigan, who gasped in pain as one hit her in her left leg and one hit her in her right arm.

The shock of pain snapped Morrigan back into reality and she was about to retaliate when the swords suddenly glowed brightly and exploded, engulfing her in a violent storm of light energy. "NOT... FINISHED... YET!" Morrigan screamed before gasping in surprise as Lilith was suddenly next to her, the other Succubus's foot glowing a bright golden color as energy erupted from it like flames. 'What the..?"

"Super Erupting KIIIICK!" Lilith screamed as her attack buried into Morrigan's stomach, launching her out of the energy and taking her into an arc that ended with Morrigan slamming into the ground, which caused another explosion that engulfed both Succubi. When the explosion was over, Morrigan was on her back and implanted in the hard ground with Lilith kneeling over her.

Lilith struck Morrigan's body several times with both hands, over and over, drawing blood before stopping as she noticed that Morrigan wasn't fighting back. "...It's over." Lilith said and Morrigan growled as her beastial transformation faded away. "Morrigan..."

"Don't..." Morrigan gasped in pain as she laid there. "Don't say anything. You won, it's over." She looked away in disgust. "I couldn't keep going, I'm going to die in a few minutes, you might as well absorb me for my power and forget about me."

Lilith was silent as she looked at Morrigan before bending forward and pressing her breasts against Morrigan's, causing the other Succubus to look at her and in a shocking surprise, Lilith kissed her on the lips. Morrigan had a shocked expression on her face as Lilith pulled away, smiling.

"We are one, right?" Lilith pulled Morrigan into a hug. "Don't worry, I'm not going to forget you." She chuckled softly. "I'll name my first daughter after you."

Morrigan couldn't say anything as her body started to glow and she felt her consciousness disappearing. 'For some reason... That makes me feel... Relieved.'

As she disappeared, the energy that was making up her body flowed into Lilith as the two fused together.

End Chapter 17

There's still quite a few chapters to go in this arc.
