[IC] Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

[Stryder]

Kori had a completely shocked look on his face, a hand on his cheek where he was both slapped and kissed. He watched her walk away, his gaze then fixed onto Amber, his heart rate increase when he saw her glare. "Uh...I don't know what just happened.." He said, looking toward her, he placed his hands on his temples for a second, sighing deeply. A blue energy appeared next to him, it had a humanoid form, after a minute the energy formed and gained features, looking exactly like Kori. "I'll go see what that was about.." The duplicate said, running after Archer, walking next to her after catching up. "What was that for?"

[NacNak]

Amber watched as the clone left, then to Kori
"I.... I felt the heat from here..... what happened to our kingdom?....." Amber asked with a worried and upset look, she knew that no one could have survived that kind of heat, but what did it come from was what troubled her mind, she had a few ideas, but she wasn't sure

[Stryder]

"A nuclear bomb....it hit the island as well as Jun's own..." He said. "I lost my apprentice, Cassius.,,I'm thankful I haven't lost you or the children.." He said, pulling her into a hug

[Spriggs27]

Archer stopped and turned to the clone of Kori," Its exactly what it is, I slapped you for endangering my life, and gave you a thank you kiss for shortening my family tree, it's simple, not complex." Archer said to

[NacNak]

Amber had look of anger on her, as well as sadness, she hugged Kori back, steam rising from them, but she was puzzled, who would have fired nukes a them, certainly not themselves, did they even have nukes to be used? Amber thought to herself
"who ever fired those nukes, I hope they burn in hell......" she said spitefully
"and I'm sorry for Cassius.... hopefully his death was quick and painless....." she said in a sympathetic tone

[Stryder]

The duplicate of Kori looked toward Archer with a small, manageable smile. "I understand that, but...what would possess you to even think of doing such? I don't know you that well." He said

"As do I Amber..." He said in a cold tone, taking a moment to think about killing the one who struck down his island. "If I know Cassius, he's doing fine, wherever he is.." He smiled

[Spriggs27]

Archer put a hand on her chin feeling confused, " Wait are you saying that the nuke it, plan wasn't you ? Then that means we have to hunt down the jackass that tried to kill us." Archer told the clone.

[Stryder]

"Of course it wasn't me, why would I put my people in danger?" He asked, since it wasn't him then someone did this to them, Jun and Kori both but who. "We will find them and end them.." He said in a serious tone, his hands glowing bright blue as he struggled to handle his power due to anger.

[Spriggs27]

Archer put a hand on her chin and thought about what he said," That's just great, besides the fact of that a war was just ended, there was a third party playing us all, taunting us and laughing at us, I give them brownie points for pitting us against each other, but I gotta take them away since we figured them out." Archer thought deeply after she spoke to Kori's clone," I wonder what Spriggs and Stryder are going to do about the Third party, and what they are gonna make for them. Wait I mean, I wonder who the third party could be ?" Archer said thinking out loud.

[Stryder]

"I....fourth wall...anyway...they are most likely enemies of both islands but the question is who?" He asked himself, he looked over at her, a small smile on his face. "Maybe we can talk this over some place else?" He asked.

[Spriggs27]

" Yup, but the lost of both islands are no biggie though, lets go find another place to talk." Archer said before she started walking, the clack of her heels echoing through the hallway, she stopped outside of the lounge, then went into the lounge, she sat down at one of the several tables and waited for the Kori clone to arrive.

Seiko swung Payne around in her hands, she felt the air around her change when the Angel death squad landed, she didn't move when they helped their leader up off the ground," This may sound like useless threat from some random punk kid that you don't know but I'll tell you this, I sure as hell won't kill you, but your men are fair game, when I get finished speaking I'll take out all of your men and not give any of my two allies any chance to aid me." Like Seiko said, she moved at lighting speed towards the Angels that held Rachel, she cut their arms off where they were holding Rachel, she then charged at Rachel and grabbed her. Seiko fell but quickly got up and grabbed an Arrow that was inside of Rachel's body, with her left hand and pulled it out throwing it away as far as she could," Come on get up." Seiko said before grabbing another Arrow from her body, the two were a couple feet away from the Angels, Seiko turned to the Angels and sheathed her sword, she put her left hand on her sheath's trigger and waited for the Angel's to come to her, she stood in front of Rachel wanting to stop them from trying to take her away..

Rachel fell to her knees as the arms of the angels holding her were cut from the body, trying to recover through the pain until she felt even more pain from the arrows being harshly removed from her body. The hybrid cried in pain as she tried to grip both the wounds that started to bleed more than they were before "That wasn't the best thing to do you know, know I'm going to bleed to death!" Rachel groaned to Seiko. She couldn't stand just yet as the horrible burning sensation still lingered in both wounds and through her blood, she guessed that the arrows were coated in holy water and not just blessed.

The lead angel quickly moved away from the large dragon who tried to attack him, backing away to avoid a fight with the large beast as three of the angel squad members instead went to take down The dragon. "So I see you will not attack me after all, but instead have that beast and the figure lurking in the shadows attack instead? and here I though I was going to be presented with a challenge. But very well let us see if you can get past my personal guard and Half-breed slayers" The leader spoke as his eyes moved from the dragon to the figure who called himself Death that started to approach them.
Angels started to advance slowly on Seiko and Rachel knowing that Seiko was up to something, they just didn't know what to expect from her so they were causes as they moved forward. A few stayed behind hidden in the trees taking aim on Rachel again with their arrows, once they had a clear shot they would fire at will as ordered from the lead arch Angel who commanded them. Aiming only to immobilize Rachel so they could take her hostage first and take her away rather than kill her at first sight, the angels had something planned but it was not yet known what.

Magnus growled as he came to a stop when he missed the leader, he quickly turned around to see three angels going after him, Magnus let out a roar as he let loose a torrent of flames at the tree as he turned to face them, his claws dug into the ground as he readied to charge after if his flames failed, to which he would ram the three angel in pursuit

[Death]

the dark figure slowed when he came into view, his presence would send chills down the spines of brave men, he cared not for the half breed or her fiends, he was here for the leader of the angels
"......your time has come......"
he said in his dark foreboding voice as he raised his right sickle towards the leader
"......prepare to meet your end........"
the dark figure said as he crossed his arms in a way that made his sickles looked symmetrical, he then hovered off the ground about three feet or so, before a large torrent of grey smoke like fog came from the dark figure and sped towards the leader of the angel, as the fog flew over the ground, any and all plant life under it instantly withered away and died as the small rocks near them cracked

[Spriggs27]

Seiko thought about using Payne again but took her hand off the trigger of the sheathe, she pointed her left arm out to the Angels coming towards her, the joints in her fingers bent downwards and barrels came out of the joints, the arm unleashed a small horde of rapid fire bullets towards the angels, she aimed it towards the trees in a circle like motion, when she was finished, she turned to Rachel, and looked to the heated barrels of her literal hand gun and put them on the wounds that Rachel had one by one," Your not gonna bleed out any more, now get on your feet soldier."

[NacNak]

Magnus watched as the angel charged blindly through his flames, they didn't seemed bothered by them, this angered Magnus, he charged the angels, the first one he clamped his teeth down on, their was a loud crunching/cracking sound as his metal teeth pierced through his angelic armor while crunching and cracking it's bones, the angel yelled out in pain as Magnus violently shook his head back and fourth, further causing damage to the angel, the other two had landed on Magnus, one on his back the other trying to hold onto his wing, Magnus let out an angered bellow before slamming the angel onto the ground, to which he proceeded to crush the angels head, an audible pop was heard with a crush of metal for a second, the angel no longer moved, the other two were angered by this, the angel on Magnus's back then pulled out a sword and stabbed it into Magnus's back, it barely pierced his thick metal scales, but it did cause him some discomfort, Magnus looked back to the angel with a dangerous growl, he then quickly crunched down on the angel holding his wing and slung him into the angel on his back knocking him off, he turned and faced the angels with a growl, flames dripping from his fangs. The Angels got to their feet and charged at Magnus with no fear, and Magnus charged at them, he took flight halfway to them and grabbed one, the second took to the sky arfter Magnus but was nowhere near as fast as the beast, by the time he reached the cloud layer that Magnus passed the beast had already got to the next layer, and turned around into a dive, the angel tried to evade the beast but in doing so was cut in half by the beasts wings on its way down, as Magnus descended the angel struggled, when he looked up (down) he seen the ground closing in, and before he could react his body was flattened against the ground with a crash that shook the area turning the angel into a blood splatter on the ground, not far behind the last angel followed, and hit the ground with a loud thud, but he didn't move as blood pooled around him, his lower half landed near his top half less the a few seconds later with a thud, making the pool of blood splatter a little bit, Magnus glared at the leader of the angels as the dark figure appeared to be firing what look like a torrent of grey smoke like fog at him, Magnus tilted his head slightly before looking to Rachel, she need to get out of their he knew this he could easily air lift Rachel to safety, but that would mean leading these dangerous being back to where Eve was, and that was unacceptable to him

"They are in the sense that my race is now extinct..." He said in a cold yet sad tone, he followed next to Archer as she walked through the hall, following her into the lounge and sitting at the table with her. "So how would we even find the people who did this?" He asked seriously.

Rachel hissed in pain when she felt a red hot barrel of a gun pressed to her bleeding wounds, eyes closed for a moment to try and wait for the pain to go away "You like hurting me don't you?" She grumbled to Seiko as she attempted to get up. Rachel's arm was still so sore in the shoulder she knew she wouldn't be able to wield her scythe, and the holy magic in her body wasn't doing great to the already unstable balance between her two sides. Rachel wasn't sure how well her magic was at the moment if she could use it at all "I don't know how well I will be able to fight, but I can try" She glanced over to Seiko as she spoke.

The lead Angel could see that his timing was ill fated as he hadn't expected other's to come to the half-breed's aid, seeing that a figure posing as Death himself was drawing closer and the dragon was soon to attack again. "It seems that I may have underestimated the half-breed's allies" He spoke aloud to himself not caring f anyone else heard him "Something I shan't do again"
The angel turned to Death and bowed to him quickly "I am sorry but my end shall have to wait, I have over stayed my welcome. Until next time" He spoke though he had one last thing to do before leaving. The angel gazed over to Rachel for a moment deciding how best to go about this While some of his squad team stood in Death's was so he couldn't get to their leader. The lead Angel then teleported behind the hybrid and placed a strange mark on the back of her neck.
Rachel hardly had anytime to react before she felt him touch the back of her neck, it hurt her badly but she tried to ignore the pain and attack the angel. But by this time he was already gone along with over half the squad, leaving behind only a few to try and distract the team from giving chase.

[NacNak]

Magnus let out a growl as he watched the lead angel effortlessly go around the battle, he watched as over half the angels left and growled at them, angered that he would not be able to rip them apart, so instead he inhaled and shot a fireball towards the remaining angels out of anger , but he knew it wouldn't do much, they seemed unaffected by his flames, so it was more to his satisfaction of watching the flames cover them

[Death]

the dark hooded figure seemed to lower his head slightly at the lead angels words after it dodged his attack
"....you cant postpone you end for long...."
the figure retorted as it watched as the some of leaders squad members got in his way, the large metal beast had set them ablaze but it didn't seem to bother them. The dark figure then raised his right hand towards them and another torrent of fog shot out at them, the fog flowed over the angels as they raised their weapons to block but to no avail, the angels looked at each other then to themselves as they noticed themselves becoming weaker. Then they began to age rapidly as their life force was stolen from them, they turned to run but it was to late, their skin aged to the point where they looked nothing more then skin and bone, the angels let out terrifying cries of despair as their body's collapsed from losing their strength, under their armor there was nothing more then bones left, from the body's on the ground the souls of the angels were ripped from them, the souls let out ghostly cries of terror as they appeared to be trying to claw themselves away from the dark figure as they were pulled towards him in a river of fog flowing to him, the souls were then absorbed into the fog that flowed from the dark figure, thus the remaining Angels were gone. The dark hooded figure then slowly looked to the others
"..............."
he didn't say anything as he slowly put away his weapons
