[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

Tyki said
"nothing, just unexpected" he says before giving her a small kiss and asking "wanna go over your kit for the mission? i know stuff like this tends to help get your mind in a better place..."

"...S-...sure......" She says, not looking right at him. She seems, scared.

[Wraithblade6]

Damien blinked innocently. "Well, yes. If you'll have me." He came in and closed the door behind him, setting down a small tray of tea and baked food items. He smiled at her, then walked over to her window to look out, seeing if anyone was around. "I have to admit. I'm worried for your safety, Elysia. I've had enough notoriety ever since I brought back the legendary staff of Mobius, and now I'm bringing back angels... Ahem, forgive me. I do have enemies, and now you are associated with me."

"what's wrong?" he asks softly, putting a curled finger under her chin and having her look him in the eye

"oh well. it's not like i haven't dealt with something like this before" she says with a sigh as she nibbles on a tea cake and reclines in her chair, shifting her wings a bit as she grows quiet, seemingly deep in thought

"I broke your orders...left your company...I feel like I betrayed you...." She says, sadly.

"you felt bad so you went to get a drink telling me that you were leaving, when you were out trying to enjoy yourself someone ruined it and threatened you so you defended yourself. granted you may have been a bit over zealous by killing them but you came home and told me about it without lying. you were acting within orders as far as i can tell and leaving my company wasn't really that bad because you told me where you were going. if you wish i can punish you if you really feel you need to be, but otherwise you followed orders" he says evenly, showing no malice and an understanding in his voice that shows he's telling the truth about his understanding on the matter, the past few months of him being able to tell when she was bothered and him being able to offer her comfort, support, and someone to listen to her and to help her with her problems without making her uncomfortable about them and knowing just what she needed to make her feel better when she started getting bad. he'd been there for her and helped her for the past few months they'd been together

"....." She sighs. "...You're right...sorry for being a little bitch." She says.

the man walks over to her and hugs her closely before giving her a deep kiss, saying softly "i love you, and you know i'm here for you no matter what problem you have or how trivial you might think it is"

He smiles, and lets himself be run though."You know...being dead has perks...." He chuckles. He then grabs a tentacle, and blue fire starts to engulf it, as it spreads down it.

Drac soon realizes he'd underestimated the Nergal. After all, it was the son of death, even if he wasn't himself right now. As he's run through, he feels his very soul being tugged on by the tentacles. He could very well resist being completely consumed, but for the moment they're rather rapidly sucking away his strength, and very being, the process proving to be quite painful. The tentacle he grabs sprouts spikes, which actually cause him pain when they stab through his hands.

"AHH!" He yells, before his veins glow blue once again, brighter. He throws himself back, large chunks of flesh ripping out, but he seems...uneffected by the missing tissue.
"That's...it...I'm going to destroy this entire castle!" He roars, as he flies back quite a few feet, and charges up an attack.
"PREPARE TO BE DESTROYED! FORSAKEN WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!" He roars, and a huge, kamehameha style blast rips though the castle, aiming to rip not only you, but grim, and mandy apart too.

Just before he can release the attack, a red claw comes in and clamps him on the neck, snapping through it and rending his soul, not destroying it, but surely crippling him from being able to do what he'd threatened. HIM sighs. "nonononono! That was not what was supposed to happen, you were just supposed to kill Grim and be done with it, I will not allow you to destroy the precious artifacts held here." HE says, before looking at the others. He grins. "Oh well... Feeding off your anger, I've built up enough power to easily do it myself." HE snickers,

Drac makes a choking noise, before something...clicks.
"You....You.....YOU......" He just repeats you. Anyone with mind reading sees the storm of memories that are tearing at Drac...the great long war against stine. The tricks, the lies....for some reason, HIM's manipulation made Drac remember these things vividly...and...he...is.....scared.
Kilroy, who had been eating several bits of metal he could find, candle sticks, knobs on cabinets and such, has now almost fully regenerated.
"....Grim...Mandy...Get Chris and MiniMandy out of here....I'll hold him off...." Kilroy says.

HIM just looks at Drac, wondering what he's on about. As is everyone, as nobody is present who knows how to read minds. Mandy growls, showing her displeasure at being ordered to do something, but does it anyways, making her way, quickly finding Minnie, and also Ven and Leon (forgot about them again... *facepalm*) and taking them away. Grim quickly grabs the Nergal, and while it struggles, wanting to consume the injured Drac, as it found his soul tasty, he does manage to teleport the two of them out of there, leaving those three.

Drac roars, his soul letting out a wave of energy enough to push Him to the ground. Drac stumbles back, and gets into a combat stance.
"You tricked me...didn't you...filth...dog.....monster..." He starts, twitching and almost foaming at the mouth. Kilroy simply slips off, into Mandy's vault, and grabs Jack's sword.
"There must be something special about this weapon...maybe it will help me defeat this monster...or, maybe even if I pass...it'll help someone else...later." He says, as he now walks back to the main hall, leaving HIM and Drac alone for a few minutes.

When he looks out the window, Damien sees Leon, but this time, he's not alone. Another man stands by his side. It's possible that Damien can see that this man is injured. His bloodied attire and the fact that Leon is supporting him are a dead giveaway.

---

Leon, now having moved his brother to Elysia and Damien's location, moves toward the throne room, noticing multiple energy spikes along the way. "I hope I'm not too late.." He thinks to himself as he makes his way toward the ensuing battle.

Along the way, he bumps into Kilroy.
"Run, please. There is some sort of demon attacking the castle. that feeds on negative emotions. You need to run, I can fight him." Kilroy says, not letting the fact he is an android show.

"You can't fight all of your battles on your own. I will accompany you for the time being until the time to retreat is necessary." Leon states.

Damien let the curtains fall closed as he returned to her side. He sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that I wish I could make it easier for you, but you humans don't take well to 'differences.'" Suddenly Damien looked toward the door. Facing it, he said loudly, "Come in."

After a couple awkward seconds, the door was opened. A young man, dressed as a fighter, was there. "Greetings Sir Damien, and Milady. I have a missive for you, sir." He holds out a plain letter with a seal on it, representing the local regency. "You've been requested to assist in the next great hunt, Damien. Your... 'unique' skills are simply invaluable."

Damien shot the young man a look, then walked over and took the letter. "Thank you soldier. I understand. Please, leave us."

elycia watches the soldier leave, giving him a small wave good bye but otherwise remaining silent while he was conversing with damien and handing over the letter. "first. i'm not human. second, what is a great hunt?" she asks evenly, showing annoyance at being called human but looking with interest at the letter

"..It's funny...I've fallen in love with you, and I never asked your name...oh well, it doesn't matter." She says, before kissing him back.
