(No One's Pov)
The councilors and teens stood there, absolutely speechless as they looked at the scene in front of them: both Khorshid and Dark knocked out cold, tied up in chains made of a combination of steal, demonglass and angelsilver... the same chains Hell uses on the prisoners in the Wing Prisons. The would've been about fifty killens standing in-between the twelve and their two friends... there were two new-looking killens that seemed to be 'in-charge'. One as a bronze-skinned woman with a noticeable burn mark on her left cheek, narrow light brown eyes hidden behind a light white wooden mask splattered with blood, the left half of her dark brown curly thin hair was closely shaven. The other killen standing by her side was a tanned guy with narrow lips, large dark brown eyes hidden behind the same blood-splattered white mask as his partner, medium-length brown hair tied back. "Hand over the demon and devil and your punishment may be merciful" Rochelle called out "Merciful?" a voice laughed "Last time I checked, the only ripper demon that is merciful is the one that is too attached to that fallen angel" the teens froze up a bit as two more killens walked out, joining the two already in the front of the small army... the two killens were Cyprise and Haruka. Haruka smirked at the teens "Congrats on becoming Young Councilors by the way, I saw the whole ceremony- I was rather impressed that you four survived fighting the Grey Leader himself" Haruka stated, looking at Anti, Angel, Gamer and Death before looking back at Khorshid and Dark "Such a disappointment, met up with these two at some old hotel ruins on their way back from the palace... you'd imagine them actually putting up a fight but... I guess our two new recruitments just caught them off guard" Haruka cracked a dark smile. "Let me rephrase my statement of merciful" the killen started, making direct eye contact with each of the twelve "Everyone has the capability to be and not be merciful, depending on the situation... such as this one" Haruka's eyes met Death's "But you, Death... you're really the least merciful person here".
Death glared at the killen "But... so are us killens" Haruka smirked as she took out the sword hanging by her waist, it's rusted-gold-like metal glimmered in the light of Hell's evening sun "Demonglass..." Angel whispered under her breath and she was right... the sword that Haruka tightly held in her hand was made of demonglass. "Which one of these two is the inferno demon again?" Haruka questioned, walking over to the two unconscious people "Wasn't it the youngest out of these two?... this one?" she said, pointing at Dark with the sword "You know... you wouldn't believe this guy's human life, but hey... if I had a chance to replace it with the title 'Young Black Councilor', I'd take it too" Haruka raised the sword and swung it. "Stop!" Rochelle yelled, the sword's blade stopping only an inch from Dark's neck as Haruka looked back at the councilor "...want do you want?" Rochelle asked, containing her anger yet it was still present in her voice "What do I want?" Haruka said almost mockingly "I want to be in a higher position within the cult I'm a part of... but what do we want?" Haruka held her arms out to her sides as she narrowed her eyes "I think that should've been clear already". Haruka dropped her arms "We've been fighting for it for almost two years now... and you still have it" the killen hissed "Maybe make it easier for them, Haruka" Cyprise told her, Haruka smirked in respondence as her eyes flickered back to the twelve "A trade... for these two, we want the fallen angel and his boyfriend's dead body" Haruka finally answered as she pointed at Gamer and Death. "Why do people keep thinking that?" Gamer mumbled under his breath as Death rolled his eyes "You know, two for two... fair trade" Haruka smiled at Rochelle "Guess it's finally time for you all to see what those heirlooms can do" Issac said "Got no choice, do we" Anti replied as him and Akire summoned their blades whilst Death summoned his sword, Angel summoned her scythe and Gamer summoned his staff, and Skyler took out her two blades hanging from her waist.
"Oh! look at that! they have new shiny toys!" Haruka laughed, most of the killens behind her also laughed a bit "Sorry, can't make it that easy Councilors" Cyprise smirked "Saskia, blindaje" Cyprise said, the woman beside her stepped forward "What did she say?" Anti quietly asked his friends "...shield" Gamer hesitantly answered as Saskia's hands glowed red, a second later... a slightly powerful shockwave. The 'shockwave' only 'hit' the six older councilors standing by the teens, pushing them as far as the edge of the city square. Angel looked around, a large magical red glimmering dome surrounded them keeping everyone in and others like the older councilors out. "I'd like you guys to meet Saskia and Tyce" Haruka smiled, narrowing her eyes as she looked directly at Death "Any thoughts about what type of demons they are?" Death froze up for a second, watching both Saskia and Tyce's eyes burn red "Torture demons-" "No" Death interrupted Akire. "Cannibals, both of them" Death told his friends... that blood on both their masks... the blood of their latest victim before coming here. "Split up and don't let either of the newbies grab you" Death warned "Sounds like a plan to me" Akire responded, pointing her new blade at one of the cannibalic killens "I call dibs on Tyce". "I'll deal with Saskia" Skyler piped up, bloodlust gleaming in her eyes "We'll deal with the others" Anti chimed in as the teens started walking towards their new fight "Haruka is mine" Death darkly told his friends before breaking out in a run into the fight.
A single minute is all it takes for the 'good guys' to start losing a fight. Anti and Gamer were dealing with the killen soldiers, doing only enough damage to keep them down while Angel ended up trying to fight Cyprise, who by the way is a rather strong shadow walker. Death was in a sword fight with Haruka while Akire could only just keep up with Tyce's attacks... Skyler however, was full at it, giving Saskia her all despite Skyler herself having no powers or magic whatsoever... yet that didn't stop Saskia from kicking the poor demon across the square. Death immediately went to run over to her yet Saskia pulled out a set of chains, swung them a few times and threw them... successfully tying up Death and knocking him to the ground. "Death-" Angel quickly dodged a hit from Cyprise, swinging her scythe yet never being able to land a hit on the killen as Haruka walked over to Death "Not so great now, is it? being so close to actual death" Haruka smirked as Death struggled in the chains. Gamer caught sight of the situation and tried to run over to his friend yet another killen got in the way as if attempting to keep the fallen well away. "Now you're gonna know how Sabina felt before your 'boyfriend' killed her" Haruka spat, raising her sword high in the air as Skyler quickly got up and ran over to Death... Skyler bolted out in front of Death, using herself as a shield to protect him as she stood between him and Haruka "Skyler! No!" Death yelled, flinching a bit as the demonglass sword clashed against both of Skyler's blades. Haruka smirked at Skyler "I've heard of you, the demon with no powers... what's an emotionless person like you protecting someone who only cares about a fallen angel?" Haruka questioned Skyler, trying to get inside her head "...I may not be able to show emotions, but that doesn't mean I don't care about my friends!" her soul stone glowed brightly before a powerful shockwave hit almost everyone.
The teens and a couple killens looked back over at Skyler, seeing her still standing in front of Death as dark magic flowed off her, her eyes glowed bright pink as she opened them, glaring at the killen before closing her eyes again and placing her hands over her heart as a bright pink flash blinded everyone. The second the light dimmed, Skyler looked completely different. First of all; her dark pink hair had become longer and the ribbons in her hair turning completely black. Her clothes changed as well; white shirt with a red ribbon, a bright pink leather jacket with the sleeves rolled with hints of gold, a dark navy blue skirt with black lace and a dark pink ribbon tied in a bow with a small skull in the middle used as a belt, black boots travelling half up the lower leg with dark pink ribbons, gold bracelets, small gold spider-web earrings and a long dark reddish-pink thin scarf hiding her soul stone necklace yet failing to hide its bright glow. Skyler turned to Death, ripping the chains off him to free him before turning back to Haruka with a crazed bloodlust smile "Now it's a fair fight" Skyler started attacking Haruka, the killen only just barely blocking the small demon's attacks as Gamer shadow walked over to Death. "You alright?" Gamer asked the ripper "Yeah..." Death answered as Gamer held out his hand "I know you're still pissed with me, but we need the fusion" Death angrily signed at Gamer's words "I hate it when you're right" Death grabbed Gamer's hand and with a quick bright flash of light, the two fused into Dean Shadow. Angel was kicked to the ground by Cyprise "You know, I have never killed a reaper before" Cyprise smirked, pulling out a gun and aiming it at Angel's head "Maybe today's my lucky day" just as Cyprise went to pull the trigger, Angel immediately went into 'God Mode' and kicked the gun out of the killen's hand. Angel immediately got up and smirked at Cyprise "And I never successfully killed a shadow walker before, so today might be my lucky day".
The fusion summoned their staff, blocking and attacking as they ran through the killen crowd over to Dark and Khorshid. Th staff disappeared as Dean pulled out Gamer's demonglass blade and carefully snapped the chains off their friends before placing a hand on each one's shoulders and shadow walking them over to the far edge of the dome, the councilors standing on the other side. "Death? Gamer?" Renard seemed confused about what he was looking at "We'll explain later- is there a way to take this thing down?" Dean asked in his fused voice "Saskia, she has to be knocked out cold" Endzela told the fusion- Dean immediately shadow walked over to Skyler who was still fighting Haruka. The fusion appeared behind Haruka, grabbed her arm and powerfully floored her, leaving her in enough pain to keep her 'out of action' for a bit. Dean picked up the demonglass sword the killen had "Sky, need your help with Saskia" Dean told her, Skyler nodded her head before the fusion grabbed her hand and shadow walked them over to where Saskia was in the fight. The two fought the killen yet Saskia was just too fast- Dean dropped the demonglass sword which drew Saskia's attention away for a second as he raised his right hand into the air... he summoned his staff, the end of it perfecting hitting Saskia in the head, hard enough for her to fall to the ground. The magical dome immediately disappeared, a second later... Cyprise pulled out a smoke bomb and set it off. An ear-piercing ringing haunted the teens' ears, it was enough to make Death and Gamer unfuse. The smoke soon faded a bit as Death looked around the city square... the killens, all of them... gone, as if they vanished into thin air. Renard and Issac rushed over to Dark and Khorshid while the other councilors checked on the others. Rochelle ran over to Death, Gamer and Skyler as Skyler faded out of 'God Mode', stumbling a bit before Death caught her "Rochelle-" "She just unlocked her own powers and fought straight afterwards, she's a little tired is all" Rochelle assured Gamer before bending down to Skyler's height, carefully caressing the emrone demon's face as she smiled a bit "That was very brave of you Skyler" Rochelle told her.
"You jumped in to protect Death when he needed you most, even though you didn't have magic or powers at the time" Skyler weakly looked up at Rochelle "You are a very powerful and caring demon, one with a pure heart... that is why you're a councilor" Skyler smiled a bit at Rochelle's words as the councilor stood up properly, looking at both Death and Gamer. "Now you two have some explaining to do about how that was possible" Rochelle told them as she folded her arms... and of course she was asking for an explanation about them being able to fuse.
