As soon as Akoni had made his demands, Gomory spoke to him with the attitude of a true demon, threatening to kill him if he approached. That didn't surprise him in the least, but she called him a liar. Really? So he [i]wasn't[/i] here to protect the seal and prevent the total war of three realms? That was news to him. Dumb bitch.

One of the others that had been trying to hide in the Cairn made his presence known. He made a nice little speech about not trying to kill each other, and while Akoni certainly agreed with him, he also found the words to be naive. Still, this creature was interesting. The life readings Akoni detected were both demonic and angelic. Nephilim, then. Akoni had never met one in person, but had studied them a great deal.

The cyborg had tanked a pretty nasty hit from Gomory, something that would have undoubtedly outright killed Akoni, but then found himself trapped in a cage of... What [i]was[/i] that she was using, exactly? It was pretty damn rare that Akoni didn't know about something. Her abilities would have to be researched once this was all said and done. Thankfully another young one, Nero who Akoni recognized by sight alone, was able to sneak up on Gomory. If the stories of this kid were true, the rest of them might not even have to do anything but sit back and watch a big glowing demon hand crush her. That would suit Akoni just fine. Then he could go back to The Ninth Circle, get a cold scotch, and forget about the world again.

Only that wasn't what happened. What did happen was [i]he[/i] showed up. Bullets flew through the air and a particularly boisterous and annoying man, more of a walking hill really, [i]stole his insult.[/i] "Roughneck" (Akoni always thought it was a stupid alias, but Hell it was better than the jerk's real name) decided that he wanted to pick a fight no matter the circumstances and turned on his boombox. Fine. Then one of the Order decided that fighting amongst ourselves was the [i]smart[/i] thing to do. Oh for the love of! Akoni counted it a blessing that Gomory slashed up Snider's (haha, Snider) boombox. She then proceeded to unleash several attacks on just about everybody except for him. 

Well that was one benefit to having all these crickets around, chirping up the place. They made so much damn noise that Gomory had stopped paying attention to the old shark. It was clear that violence was the only way anything was getting accomplished today. So be it. Akoni took a step backward from the floating platform he stood upon, falling downward and out of sight. At that moment he opened a gate beneath him, and created its exit on the central pillar, right behind the demon woman.

Before emerging, Akoni felt a bit whimsical, so he cast a repair spell to fix up Snider's boombox, but that wasn't all. An additional bit of magic changed the music to something [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlSbSKNk9f0]a little more to his liking.[/url] Just in time for something... Interesting. Gomory changed, her entire body altered as she unleashed a mighty wave, then flashed back to her normal form. The kind of power she possessed, it was truly respectable. The power of the devil trigger.

[color=dodgerblue]"I prefer that form,"[/color] the old man called out as he threw a punch at her from behind, Lammasu morphing into a bladed gauntlet. [color=dodgerblue]"Least you don't have your breasts hanging out in the open!"[/color]
