[h2]Renji[/h2]Renji bounded from the ash and poison, lashing his hand out and grabbing the youth with a scowl on his brutish face. As he did the hazardous material moved from around him, being pushed aside by his aura which clung to him like a second skin. He grabbed the youth's sword wrist before noticing a blur move from Lu's vineyard and make it to him on top of the black spire. 

A sharp tsk left him. He had no time nor desire to play babysitter with the kid. Before the battle could even begin good--within a blinking moment of viewing everything--Renji poured a bulk energy from his sword into his body and with it enhanced his speed and strength tremendously. A quick, untraceable chop to the neck was sent towards Xavier, one specifically design to crush bone and crush muscle like clay. The minutes he would need to match Renji's already overshadowing strength and speed was never met, for he increased five fold in the span of a second. 

Before the column could begin to crumble he was already making his way to Lu's position. 

[h2]Lu[/h2]Lu bit the inside of his jaw as coy threats were whispered in his ear. He had forgotten a few of those mages were S-Rank individuals. Stuck in a stance with his palm raised in the air, he cursed Renji for not doing his job. On top of which, a rather expansive attack had charred his vines wholly and announced the presence of another soldier fly. With no other choice, he cut the feed of magic to the vines so that he could use his instant vine duplicate technique. 

Just as expected the blow crashed into the vines, giving Lu the moment he need to escape from the impact; and unknowingly dodge a bullet. Part of the column shattered, leaving the mage's comrades to deal with the massive pieces crashing and tumbling towards those unfortunate to be beneath them. 

Renji appeared next to him, his spirit blade raised and growing into an impregnable sphere from the meteors suddenly falling from the sky, peppering the hell realm with devilish fireballs. "This really has turned into a living hell," Lu commented with exhaustion. He smiled though, feeling one of his thorns on the male that decided to so recklessly attack him. "Don't think you've gone unnoticed. Instant Impalement, Punishment!" And with that several wire-thin thorns miraculously grew from the remnant on his arm and attempted to pierce through the skin and muscle down the appendage. 

"Yunin is close to re-birth. I can feel him calling us," said Renji unexpectedly.

Lu didn't spare his master's location a glance, for fear that one of the vermin would notice. "Good, he'll exterminate all of these useless bastards!" he screamed out angrily and tired. 

[h2][color=red]Sable Rhodroth[/color][/h2]"What a shitty place to be at right now," muttered Sable as he crouched beside a still flaming meteor, munching on the fire to pump himself up for the upcoming battle.

Standing up, he gripped the porcelain scarf, stopping it from whipping about like joyous tails against the fierce winds. He looked at the other battlefields, massive rocks were falling, those vines had at least halted but in its place were searing white flames. A crooked, fangy smirk lifted his lips. "Looks like Vyper Bolts doing there thing! I guess I should start doing my job as well." 

He glared up at the magical green circle overhead. That was where his opponent was, this magic had his stink all over it. Without a second glanced towards his comrades, he made his way up the craggy columns and towards Lucifer: the magician behind this personal hell.
