So now random denizens began to join the action. Main street quickly became a chaotic free-for-all. Aeshma tried to follow the two original combatants to see how the one he was attempting to aid was fairing. However, his way was blocked by a scrambling spider demon as it and its riders struggled against two kids. One of the kids had extreme strength and speed and the other some kind of super sword. He paused, debating on whether or not to tear the whole lot of them down or to try to avoid them.

[main street - rooftops]
Mischa was sitting on the rooftops overlooking the main street, it was rather dull today he was bored. but then, so much happened at once...

an explosion made his ears straiten up, when he looked he saw two people fighting, then one of those agents of the light came up and stopped the fight before getting shot by something powerful, then some sorcerers appeared and everything went nuts, someone in the gun store was shooting at them, a guy shouting "chaos drive" was charging them with a girl with a powerful looking sword.

he figured he might as well get involved to, he likes watching sometimes this just wasn't one of them.
so, readying is claw gauntlets he pounced from the rooftop landing on one of the sorcerers heads and clawing at his neck

The Sorcerer who was struck with the sonic boom flew backwards, blood and spittle flying from his mouth as he crashed rolling across the floor. However, even as Aeshma attempted to move away from the scene, a crackling bolt of red lightning struck him. Red hot energy filled him for a moment, as he felt his physical body taking significant quantities of damage, equally mirrored onto his purer self. If his physical form was to be destroyed within the human realm, or even in Aegis, he would also be destroyed. One of the sorcerers grinned, glyphs and tattoos covering his face. Two balls of flame formed in his hands as he rushed forward, screaming words in Ancient Demon, the language of dark magic.

A screen of materialized solid shadow formed in front of a woman's hands, bullets striking the surface but not breaking through. Laughing, she allowed this shield to dissolve before gesturing forward. Portals opened around her shoulders, Spiked chains launchign themselves from them and attempting to strike at Noah. Her eyes glowed a bright purple, even as she whispered incantations undered her breath, her off hand clutching what appeared to be an obsidian dagger.

In the meantime, the dynamic duo charged the group atop the giant spider, whom at first didn't seem to notice the assault. However, as Zio jumped to attack one of the hooded figures, he felt his brain filling with pain. It was as if a hundred needles had been stuck into every muscle, liquid agony flowing through his veins. The unexpected sensation dropped him to the floor, and even as he dropped out of sight from the hooded figures the sensation disappeared. One of them looked to him, face hidden behind a metal mask. No blow landed, but rather the sensation of a punch struck Zio, knocking him off balance.

It was then that Mira struck out, blade slicing cleanly through the armoured carapace of the insectoid demon. It screeched in fury, clawed legs stamping around as it attempted to pierce it's elusive attacker, even as Mira almost elegantly danced out of the way of the barrage of attacks. The leg dropped neatly to the floor, before catching fire, it's physical form no longer sustainable. In mere moments, the limb had been reduced to nothing but ash.

Aeshma, meanwhile, found himself wounded and still recovering, attempting to maintain his physical form and throwing powerful emotional waves against his assailant. The runes on his arms and legs were more than just decoration however, they warded the sorcerer from magic both formed and natural. Aeshma's simple psychic presence just wasn't enough to stop him.

Then a catman jumped on top of the figure, both flames going out as the sorcerer fell to the floor, screaming and swatting at this unexpected attacker, firing a number of futile bursts of red lightning out into the air.

It all happened way too fast for Zio who was now on the ground trying to recover from the mental attack on him. He grabbed his head as it was still ringing quite a bit. After dodging the spider demon's attack Mira looked at her step-brother seeing he was in some kind of pain she grew furious. "How dare you hurt my brother!!" She creamed as for a split second her eyes lighted up, then her sword began glowing with a pure white light. "Holy Devastation!" Mira sceamed as she slashed her sword in the air and as she slashed the air a massive energy blast made of pure holy magic/energy was sent towards the spider-demon and his riders.

Barto slowly regained his senses. His head was pounding and he felt sore all over.
If it wasn't for the comfortable padding of his armor he'd probably not feel at all.
He staggered from the rubble and tried to find his bearings.
The streets around him had descended into utter pandemonium.

Barto stroked his magnificent beard in a contemplative manner, and decided that the group lead by the spider demon was most likely to have started it, and thus deserved punishment first.
In the calmest of fashions he walked up from behind the spider demon, who seemed occupied assaulting a young hoodlum, which is illegal.
With an iron grip Barto grabbed the spider demon by the hind legs and as the massive vermin monster struggled to get free he started to state his authority.
"In the name of the Overseer Council you ha-"
He was interrupted by a blinding flash of holy light, when the light died down Barto was holding a smoldering carapace and watched as the riders plummeted to the ground.
Immediately Barto marched forward, throwing the pile of chitin and smoking goop aside and ignoring the other sorcerers.
He marched straight toward Mira. His looming figure threw a shadow over her as he pointed at her.
"Who cast that! Was it you young lady?!"

Zapped with powerful magic, Aeshma collapsed onto his hands and knees. The massive demon roared in rage, furious that some other being had the audacity to challenge him, furious with himself for being weak enough to feel pain. He bared his fangs and focused all his hatred into resisting the attack that had so seriously damaged him. He would fight this. He would force his physical being to maintain itself by sheer will alone. His desire for vengeance would grip him to this world until his challenger was a bloodstain at his feet. Enraged, he lifted his horned head and stared daggers at the sorcerer. Aeshma roared threateningly with the effort as he brought a hoof beneath himself. With great effort, he was starting to get up. If his magical intimidation would not win this, then he would use his natural raw physical power, his brawn. Aeshma was a tank, a beast. "You... can't stop... ME!" Lightning flickered over him painfully, trying to force him out of this realm.

Fortunately, before the sorcerer could further test his power against pure demonic rage, he was bowled to the ground and ripped repeatedly by the clawed gauntlets of the cat demon. This broke the sorcerer's concentration and Aeshma was released from the affects of the red lightning. He had lived. Immediately, the hooved demon tromped over like a bull, heedless of the few aberrant sparks of red that the sorcerer tried in vain to get off, and without delay he stomped a foot down to crush the sorcerer's skull.

Mischa would look up to see the fiery-eyed monstrous form looming above him.

The sorcerer went down easy, Mischa just clawed his neck and he went down, when it hit the ground though and he went to claw him again a hooved foot had crushed it's skull. suprised, Mischa looked up seeing the large, angry-looking demon there, his ears turned sideways and his eyes dilated as he stared up at the demonic figure "Mrreeeh..."

The Demon screeched, holy blaze lighting it on fire, as it's physical body was ripped to shreds. The hooded figures on top lifted their hands, a great orb of purple energy forming to ward off the blast, but the beast they rode was destroyed. It's form flickered, as the essence of it's being shattered, energy returning to Hell. There it would become one with the natural energy of that realm, before it was given form once more.

Slowly, the three figures hovered to the ground, their faces impossible to see beneath metal masks. And as they did, it became hard to look at them at all, as a steady headache built in those who would watch, an intrusion in the mind, a twitching in the arm. Tendrils of thought probed the edges of the consciousness, as Zio and Mira felt their thought being invaded, an alien presence fighting it's way through their resistance, attempting to dig into their memories, their hopes, and their motivations. As they moved, they felt their arms twitching, their eyes attempting to close, their weapons attempting to inch towards their heart. It was like arm-wrestling an invisible opponent, a battle of will to move even a step as the full force of the psychics was focused on the twins.

The sorcerer was killed, his head crushed and neck cut. Aeshma could feel his soul escape, dragged away to the depths of Hell. It had been claimed a long time ago, and would now be moving to it's new owner. No doubt an eternity of agony awaited the man, or at least the shadow that would remain of him inside his soul. A toy for some Demon Lord, to feed them more energy. A trophy for a collection. Unfortunately, it would not be his.

Noah had just finished taking down his forth sorcerer after the first set came in reinforcements had arrived he made quick work of them once done he gathered more ammo and cautiously ran out of the gun store making his way through the street and back to his house he had little reason to stay and he did not have the patience to deal with any more combat for now.After walking through a few alleyways he made it back to his apartment and began to clean the weapon he had just stolen.

Both Zio and Mira felt the invisible force trying to take them over. As it was starting to dig through their memories and motivation. Deep inside Zio's mind and soul was a slimmer of darkness that fought against the psychics power, inside Mira's mind and soul there was a shining light bigger then the darkness inside Zio fighting against the psychics powers.

In the real world Mira dropped to her knees as she dropped her sword into the ground, she held her head with her hands, Zio was still holding his head from earlier. Both of them were in tremendous pain as the psychics assault continued. Zio's dark aura flickered for a second as then it grew more powerful and started fighting back the psychics assault to a point were he could stand. Zio slowly got up and started walking towards the psychics his left eye was turning completely black as he slowly got closer to the psychics. He didn't care how much he got hurt or in how much pain he was, he just kept thinking about his sister and that she was in pain.

Barto picked Mira up and forcibly set her down in a meditative position.
He could feel the light in her bursting at the seams.
"I see you have potential. There's much force locked inside you."
Barto picked up her sword and put it in her hand and placed her clenched fist on her chest.
"Let the light flow free and drown out the chaos."
This little girl had potential. This would be her test.

The demon huffed as the sorcerer's soul was extinguished from its body. He cast his fiery eyes onto the cat demon, Mischa, who was looking up at him. "You have aided me, little one. I will not easily forget it. You have indeed chosen wisely." Aeshma grinned as sweetly as he could with all those teeth, sweet and sly like a devil. He looked like a creature you didn't want to displease. "I will grant you one request, anything you desire that is within my power. Ask, and I will show you the value of my favor." Aeshma flicked his tail back and forth as he waited for Misha to respond. Meanwhile, he cast a sickened glare toward Mira and Barto.

Mischa was looking up at the demon expecting it to start attacking him, but it made an offer, a reward for helping him, he was holding back a giggle at the funny look the demon gave when he tried to smile as he thought about what he might want from this demon, he didn't know who it was or what it could do, he followed it's gaze toward the agent of light and a that girl with the sword, in fact he didn't really know his own desires that well either...
