Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.

The second half of this chapter. A bit shorter, but I thought it was good to split this in half.

Part 2

Lilith flapped her wings as she landed on a nearby alcove. "Shine... Sphere!" She clasped her hands before thrusting them upwards and many arrows of light launched upwards, pooling and turning into a large orb of pure light. "Fall!" She dropped her hands, causing the orb to lash out at Jedah, who simply twisted out of the way of the attack. Lilith simply snapped her fingers as Jedah got close and the orb suddenly exploded, sending a large wave of power back at both her and Jedah, bathing both of them in Light magic, getting a hiss of pain from the armored Devil while Lilith simply grimaced. Before Jedah could recover, she punched forward with both hands, sending a flashing bat of energy that slammed into Jedah, knocking him to the ground. "Really? Even with my newfound strength, Jedah, I'm surprised at how easy you are to defeat." Lilith laughed at him as he stood up, barely any marks on his armor.

"Just because you've obtained a new level of power thanks to merging back together, Liligan," Jedah said with barely disguised disgust in his voice, "that doesn't mean that you've won."

"Boost."

Jedah threw his arms back and to the side as the air was filled with spinning scythes, which continued to multiply and grow in number, surrounding Lilith on all sides.

Lilith looked from side to side and in all directions. "Huh, this might hurt." She suddenly giggled and rotated her right wrist and thrust her index and middle finger upwards, causing a swarm of bats and power to surround her before they lashed outwards and slammed into the spinning blades, destroying them. "Or not."

Jedah growled and rushed at her, his scythe held to his side as he cut through her body. Or rather, the large log that suddenly appeared. "What the hell?"

"Master and I learned from ninjas, you know?" Lilith said from behind him. Jedah turned, only to get a large energy fist to the face. "And if your thing works like Vali's, you need to touch someone in order to Divide them, right?"

Suddenly an image of Vali using Divide Dimensions popped into her head and she sweat-dropped, hoping that Jedah had no clue how to pull that off. 'Then again... If he could do that, why couldn't he do Boost Dimensions? Maybe it's something that only Albion and D'draig have the potential to do?'

She looked up as Jedah got in close and was swinging his scythe at her. She held her hand out in front of her and dark power pooled in front of her, forming a staff, which allowed her to block the attack. "Impressive. You really are impressive." Jedah chuckled. "You're everything I had hoped for when I took the third of your soul that was free floating and put it into that body."

Lilith sneered at him. "You really are a piece of work, Jedah. Trying to bring my dead great-grandfather back from the dead? For what? So you can control the world?" She blinked as Jedah started to laugh. "What's so funny?" She asked as she pushed him away from her.

Landing a few feet away, Jedah continued to chuckle. "You don't get it, Liligan..." He pointed his left hand at Lilith. "Your dead great-grandfather, he might be my ultimate goal, but you..." He pulled his hand back and clenched it into a fist. "You are my masterpiece. And, even more important, without you, I could have never tried this whole scheme."

Lilith frowned in confusion as she stood up. "What do you mean?" That didn't make any sense to her.

"Simple." Jedah chuckled. "Had I not found your soul and been able to craft a body for you, I wouldn't have had the idea to do the same for Him!" Jedah threw his arms to the side. "Think about it, Liligan. With your help, I could reset the world and fix the problems that plague it." He looked to the side, where the green tornado of souls was starting to get stronger. "Soon, He will be free and in a body of my choosing." He looked back at Lilith. "How about it, Liligan? Join me and I'll ensure that both you and your master are reborn into the new world."

"Hmm, no thanks." Lilith shook her head. "I know that there's threats out there, Jedah, but I'm not going to let you take control of this world to fix what you think is wrong with it."

Jedah hung his head and shook it. "I'm not making this up, I really will give people what I promise. But, oh well." He sighed and raised his head before launching himself at Lilith, who jumped out of the way as Jedah slashed down where she had been a second ago.

In the air above Jedah, Lilith held her hands upwards. "Try this... Tempest... VORTEX!" She flipped around in the air, sticking her butt up high as she launched a swirling mass of dark energy that caused the sand that was covering the ground to get pulled up into her attack.

"Boost."

Jedah concentrated power into his scythe and swung upwards, sending out a wave of energy that slammed into Lilith's attack. The two energy attacks swirled before shattering into particles, revealing Lilith's shocked expression. "What' the matter, Liligan? Surprised that this scythe, unlike the ones that Hades's reapers have, can kill even energy attacks?"

"Boost."

Suddenly Jedah seemingly disappeared. A moment later, Jedah appeared behind Lilith and slashed at the back of her head. She ducked and avoided the attack while spreading her wings and firing out multiple small energy fists from her wings to get him to back off.

"Boost."

Jedah let out a roar and rushed at Lilith, who flapped her wings to fly straight up. Jedah spun to look at where she was, only to find a bunch of blasts of light and darkness crashing down on where he was.

Lilith growled and extended her wings out as far they would go, causing them to increase in size and making her seem four times larger than she normally was. "Try this, you bastard!" She held her arms out to the side as suddenly lightning crashed into her from both sides. Her eyes started to glow and crackle with power. "Lightning..." She clapped her hands together and raised up her arms before swinging them down, a trail of lightning following her motions as she did so. "FALL!"

Jedah let out a loud scream as the lightning crashed down on him. 'This is... Divine lightning?!' His eyes bugged out as he couldn't believe that she could use something that should have been out of her reach. 'What is with this girl?!'

His pupils shrank as he recalled a conversation with Belial back when the Nephilim had still been alive.

[i]"It would be far too dangerous for her to have her full power. If she did, she might accidentally destroy the world. I worry that she might even be able to use power that should be out of her reach."[/i]

"Divide."

With a loud roar, Jedah burst out of the lightning and rushed up at Lilith, extending his arm and grabbing her by her throat. "It's OVER!"

"Boost."

"Divide."

Lilith's eyes widened and Jedah grinned savagely behind his armor. When Lilith's body turned dark and she melted into a puddle of goo, he jerked in surprise. "What the?"

"Congrats, you caught a shadow." Lilith said from behind. Jedah growled and spun around, extending his arm while his scythe was in it, cutting Lilith in half.

"Now, now..." Another Lilith said while sitting on top of Jedah's head appeared and shook her head. "I am not the reason that you're failing right now. You are."

Jedah let out a yell and slashed upwards, cutting her in half, before two more Lilith appeared around him. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?!"

Not far away, Lilith was sitting on a rock, with one eye closed as she looked at where Jedah was rushing around slashing the air itself. "You're caught in an illusion of light and shadow." Lilith whispered. "What you're seeing isn't real."

She watched Jedah rushing around, slashing at everything he thought was real. "Still, that scythe is a problem, isn't it?"

Waiting until Jedah paused to catch his breath, Lilith launched herself up at Jedah. When she got up to him, she raised her left leg up, while her outfit changed, her tight spandex bottoms shifting and melting away, revealing her bare, muscled legs and butt-cheeks to anyone who was looking, while reforming above her left leg, becoming a large axe, which Lilith dropped down, cutting through Jedah's right arm at the elbow, severing it and causing him to drop the scythe while he screamed in pain. "It's over."

Jedah spun around and gripped his stump of an arm. "It's never over! Even if you kill me, I'll just revive myself after a few centuries!"

Lilith tilted her head and nodded, "you do have a point, I guess."

The next thing Jedah knew, he was punched away by a large energy fist that destroyed his scale mail armor, leaving him hovering in the air in his normal form and a bloody stump of an arm. "You..." He hissed as he saw Ranma flying towards them. "When did you get here?!"

"Just now." Ranma smirked at him. "Have fun, Jedah?" Jedah didn't say anything, but did glance down to where the scythe had fallen. "Hmm?" Ranma looked down to where the scythe was and flew down to it.

Lilith, meanwhile, was starting to glow with power as she chanted in a language that was so ancient that even Jedah had never heard of it before.

Jedah wasn't sure what was going on. But when he saw Ranma reach down to pick up the scythe, Jedah sneered. "Fool! That's a weapon of Heaven! Other than me, there's only one person in the entirety of the world that could ever touch it, and you're..." Jedah paused as Ranma picked up the scythe and turned to look at Jedah. But Jedah wasn't seeing Ranma, instead, an image of another man with raven black hair and dark eyes was standing where Ranma was with the scythe in his hands. "...A...A...Azrael?!"

"Who?" Ranma asked before grimacing as Lilith was engulfed in a bright purple light.

Lilith held out her hands while finishing the spell she was working on. "It's over! BANISH!" A stream of purple energy lanced out and slammed into Jedah, who was suddenly engulfed in a purple aura, before Lilith let out a yell and turned to where the tornado of souls was at. "You might be able to revive, but let's see you get out of the Well of Lost Souls!"

"I'll BE BACK!" Jedah screamed as he was sucked into the vortex. Less than a minute later, the vortex suddenly glowed brightly and after a bright flash had vanished, along with Jedah.
