Upon This Earth

[Rutheven Dellacroix]

"Damn, you!" Rutheven tries instinctively dodge but is still nicked and stumbles from it as his neck bleeds profusely.

"I've faced many before and still survived!"

Rutheven then tried to bring up the shadows to trap the Panther.

[~Cephrien Tohno~]

Ceph had quickly shot his claw forward to knock away the panther from Rutheven. He calmly turned his head to see Peter run off with the Rebels.. he decided to let them escape.. he kind of felt pity for them.. especailly Peter...


'Peter 'the Owl'....'

His name echoes in Ceph's mind, a quick flashback of one of their fights raced through his head before he snapped to reality.. He would let them go.. but if they ran into eachother again.. he would have to capture him..

Ceph turned his concentration back to the battle, as if he didn't notice the Rebels leaving.

[Void]

I note the escape of Rinku and Peter.

Just a bit more time, I say to myself.

My Void Shard forms into the shape of a longsword, which I level at Rutheven's chest. An Orb of Annihilation begins forming as I raise my other hand and open a gate under my panther, allowing it to sink into the ground and emerge above Rutheven, its fangs arcing for his head as I unleash the orb at him.

[~Cephrien Tohno~]

Just as Void launches his attack, Ceph dashed towards him, the talon like fingers of his claw scraped along the ground as he ran. Quickly, he launched his Demonic Arm forward to capture Void in the palm of his Claw and pin him to the ground.

[Rutheven Dellacroix]

The blats pretty much knocked Rutheven off his feet into rubble. The hit a really hurt him and he was bleeding in 5 different places now.

"This is getting really annoying." Rutheven said as he crought himslef out of the rubble.

"I can transform my arms as well, boy." Rutheven said as he held up his arm and it began to morh into a dog demon head.

The other arm began to do the same as Rutheven's body went completely black and his eyes began to looked crazed.

[Void]

Cephrien's arm entraps me and pushes me to the ground.

"Damn this corporeal form!" I hiss, tapping into the Void.

"Void Shard Storm!"

I unleash a torrent of sharp shards of Void energy from my body, knowing that holding me as he is, there is no way Cephrien's arm will emerge unscathed.

[Peter]

Peter joinned in the panting. There was a sharp pain in his body, everywhere. He'd pushed his parts to the limit back there... he wasn't getting stronger, he was getting weaker each time. A few months ago it would have hurt like this afterwards...

"I'm alright. What about you Rinku?"

[Rinku]

"I'm fine, but I don't know whats going to happen to Void. I hope he makes it out ok....." said Rinku. "So what do we do now?" he asked him not having the faintest clue.

[Rutheven Dellacroix]

The arms now fully transformed into a Demon Dog's head and Neck now rushed twisting toward Void as the right tried to clamp to either his left shoulder or arm and the left tried to clamp unto his right hip or leg.

The plan was for him to hold down Void and Cephrien to do the damage unhurried. Then they could pursue those who left.

[Peter]

"Void's an eternal. It's like an immortal, but more so. He'll be fine. As for us," he straightened up and took a deep breath, leaning on his stick, "We keep going. We have to get out of here. Out of this city. Out of this country maybe. If RI is after us, then we have to go far and we have to go fast."

[~Cephrien Tohno~]

Ceph's arm was quickly jerked away from Void, but not without running it's large talon fingers over Void's body. Ceph stumbled back before falling back onto his butt. He held his arm up to examine it and widened his eyes.. there were a few scratches and one gash in his weapon.

"Oh shit.." Ceph muttered before standing back up. "He's not playing around.."

[Rinku]

Rinku sighed as we continued walking down the street. "I don't understand, why would they want to capture us?" said Rinku as the four of them walked swiftly through the allys.

[Void]

I run my hand over the wound, an inky black substance flowing out of it.

"I am growing tired of this," I say as Rutheven's arms clamp on to me, causing more inky blackness to flow.

Closing my eyes, I erect my barrier, extending an Orb of Annihilation outward starting at my center. The power of the shield should do a lot of damage to Rutheven unless he backs off, getting him off my back so I can finish the both of them in the next few manuevers.

As the shield extends outward I form my Void Shard into a katana and my Black Beast leaps at Cephrien's throat, attempting to tear it out.

[~Cephrien Tohno~]

The panther is instantly smited into the ground as Ceph's claw swings over head and shoots down upon it. He smirked at Void before lunging his claw forward into his barrier.. He pushed as hard as he can.. the wind suddenly began to pick up as the palm of Ceph's claw conflicted with Void's expanding barrier.

[Void]

I smirk as my Panther fades back into the Void. In an instant my barrier shatters and thousands of Void Shards burst from my body, spraying everywhere.
