[IC] ESCAPE HELL: The Gates

[rusty4297]

John ran up the steps as quickly as he could, reaching for the door the second he thought it was almost in reach. He took a deep breath, pounding on the door. "Sorry to interrupt, but I think whatever you guys are doing can wait until the dragon's dead." He shouted this, then listened for the sound of the two coming to help kill the dragon. "Not joking, there's a dragon out there, come on!"

verona looked at him in shock. "this quickly? this isnt how i foresaw it.."
panicking, she looked to mason, tossing him his sword after retrieving it, and snapped her fingers, as her bonesword appeared. " we must hurry, the dragon must be slain first..."

[Dash375]

Seth growled at the parasite in response "Yes its true you can not defeat him without my help, but at this point I am ready to die." He explained "I am not going to be trapped in my own body while you go around pretending to be me, thats not worth me even attempting to stay alive." Seth took pause to think for a few seconds "However, if you give me my body back for a while after this fight I might allow you to win."

[rusty4297]

As John heard the two getting ready he rushed back down the stairs, being careful with his scythe not to hit anything on the way down. As he ran he looked out the door, wonder to himself whether he should run or stand his ground to help the others. Staying would be so much more fun... And bloody! "That makes me not want to stay..." Fine... If you leave it would be much more bloody for our... Allies... So might as well stick around and make that thing bleed more than it would otherwise. Heh... Make it bleed until there's nothing left... "Now I really don't want to stay..." He looked at the giant beast for a moment before sighing, "I can't outrun it anyway... Just don't take over, alright?" Whether I agree or not, that thing will start bleeding soon... Heheheh...

As John, Mason and the seer came down stairs, Jerus stood up and drew his katana, looking towards the door again. "Alright, the gang's all here. Now, where in the hell are we going to go? We're either crazy or stupid to do so, even with Koran." Normally he would listen to the others, appraise things before speaking, but this situation was beyond any of them, with them only being human souls. Well, most of them. He was pacing back and forth, already on edge.

"Fool! It will take more than just one of us, we musssst coexist as one body and one mind.." The symbiotic creature hissed angrily, his potential would be realized if this soldier was willing enough to work with him, he wouldn't have to force control on him. "I refussse to let you perish..." It spoke, regaining Seth's footing and aiming a hand, firing void spikes at the demon.

Mason raced down the stairs, his blade ready to be use, kept at the ready in his hand as he looked toward the windows outside, getting a sight of the beast outside. "That thing looks like it could tear this place apart. Probably us too, but I'm not one to not try." He said as he slashed his sword through the air at his side in a fit of determination before going toward the door. His blade sparking up and the void flames engulfed the thing as he stepped toward the door it stood behind. "This isn't the place for sisters to be..." He said to Mina, who had been somewhat in his way, he moved her aside, not forcefully but the action could still be seen as rude.

[Dash375]

Seth was still annoyed at this parasite which was risking his own life in its thirst for battle, Seth wanted to be far away from this fight but he had no choice due to this parasites control. "Fine, I don't want to die right now so I will work with you here for a little while." He told the parasite and regained control of the body from the parasite while refining the form which the parasite had given him changing it into a more knights armour style to allow for higher speed as he formed a spike on the end of the armour to ram it at the dragons underbelly.

The blade slid slowly out of the man's chest, just below the neck, blood slowly soaking his shirt as the light disappeared from his eyes. It was done, he'd finally got revenge for his family..., Mark suddenly shot up into an upright sitting position, staring around confused before realizing he wasn't on earth. That fact was blatantly obvious by his surroundings, then the full realization came to him as the memories of his last few minutes rushed back to him, he was in hell.

He was out on red gravel, on the side of a seemingly makeshift road, and turning around to see a large palace as a cart of people, likely others who have died and came here, went in the front. He wasn't about to go in there, he could see demons and the like all around and inside the building. He quickly moved away from the establishment, hiding behind an outcropping of red rock, before he paused to collect his thoughts.

[Dash375]

Zhalia arrived at the side of a castle looking up to see a lone window on the wall "Are you there Nari? Its time" She spoke telepathically to whoever was in the castle. The demoness started by clapping her hands and summoning multiple chains out of the ground before ramming them into the wall around the window "Make sure you are in the centre of the room" Zhalia ordered and started to apply force on the chains attempting to pull the window out but to no avail. Annoyed but unshaken Zhalia summoned more chains into the wall and doubled her force until the window finally broke allowing for a human sized person to escape "Quickly before your parents find out. She telepathically ordered weaving the remaining chains into a staircase.

The parasite hissed and acted in perfect cohesion with its host, a noticeable rise in ability was granted with this. Now they were not crippled as they were before, maybe they could actually defeat this beast, though part of the parasite's focus was on Karne still.

Mason looked out the window seeing the dragon being fought, he readied his blade, the void weapon began to spark up and spiral with dark energy. "I see a lot of standing around so if you'll excuse me.." He said before running up the stairs, moments later a crash through the window could be heard, he was aiming at the dragon but this other adversary probably needed to go down to. Driving his blade toward the enemy that was known as Karne's chest he held an expression of seriousness, he seemed far more focused than any other time, maybe because he felt there was a reason to fight.

Zaen was lenaing against the wall. He was still very injured, but he didn;t have much purpose left. He was a liability, so he grabbed his knife and walked out the door, where the dragon was being fought. He mustered up the little strength he had left, and ran to where the dragon was. He ran, and did a small leap, grabbing onto the dragon's back scales, and climbing up to his neck, hanging on tight, and stabbing at whatever skin was left unprotected. He got up to the dragon's head and hung on, aiming to stab at it's eyes and unprotected skin while the dragon moved about and roared, almost knocking him off multiple times.

[rusty4297]

John inhaled slowly, hearing Mason mention the standing around then run up the stairs. John almost ignored it as he stood there, staring at the dragon until suddenly he heard the crash from upstairs. He wasn't entirely sure what it was, but it pushed him to action, he ran to the side of the dragon, attempting to avoid the feet while still getting close enough to cut them as Zaen tried to attack the head and neck area of the dragon. He swung his scythe in the foot's direction, hoping to deter the creature from using that foot.

the dragon roared in frustration as the humanoids kept attacking it,it slammed its head towards the house in an attempt to fling Zaen off of it, and breathed fire around it.

Karne used his blade to block the attack, smiling. "ah, a worthy fighter.... human,too... that sword is of void material, a strong one... heheh."he spun towards mason, slicing through the air as he made his way toward him.

Koran ran out of the house, and jumped up into the air, landing on the dragon's back. it looked at him with its baleful eyes, staring into his soul. a voice appeared in his head, "i cannot be defeated, nephilim. i helped destroy your wretched kind. all that is left is to kill you." the dragon snapped at him just as the voice stopped talking, and he jumped back, losing a small chunk of his arm.
"FUCK!"
he was bleeding profusely, when he noticed a dark aura forming around him as he stood on the back of the dragon's body.

[Minarawr]

Mina had been thinking of what to do when Mason suddenly appeared. Verona was with him, which sort of annoyed the girl as it seemed she was still chasing after him. Verona knew everything, so she should know she didn't want her to tamper with her deal.
Ignoring her annoyance for the moment, she looked at the dragon to distinguish any weaknesses, before suddenly being moved aside quite rudely by Mason. Her eyes burned with anger a bit as she watched him go outside. Who did he think he is?? She had half a mind to just shoot him in his shoulder, but controlled herself and simply walked inside, picking up his Hellhound pup in the progress of sitting down.
He wanted to act all tough? Fine. He wouldn't be getting her help either.

Nari woke up, her bright blue eyes fluttering as she heard a voice in her head. 'Zhaly...?' she asked in a groggy tone of voice.
She looked at the window and stepped back, as she had been told, clapping excited when she saw the chains.
The moment the window was torn out she slipped outside, skipping down the stairs before hugging her friend.
'Zhaly! You got me out!' she exclaimed happily, not realizing how loud she spoke.

[Dash375]

Zhalia looked at Nari unmoved by the hug while delivering a deadly glare from her green eyes "You are being too loud, if your parents find out what I have done before we are a good way away then they will kill me." She spoke quietly before letting out a sigh "It is nice to see you though" Zhaly smiled a little and started walking away from the castle.
"I sense a lone soul I want to investigate, you want a new friend as well I presume?" She paused looking back at the girl "And no, I will not be carrying you on my back this time."

[Stryder]

Mason's eyes were locked onto Karne, every movement made, he followed, analyzing it carefully. "I don't care about the sword, I just know it's going right fucking through you!" He said, quickly closing the distance between him and demon, sparks flew as their blades made contact, the shadowy flames on Mason's sword seemed to erupt violently. Mason's stance shifted as he quickly moved around Karne, slashing downward at his undefended arm.

[Kangutso]

So, he was in hell, not much of a surprise there considering what he did before he died. It helped that there seemed to be fires everywhere, demons as well. Too bad he didn't have a map, else he would've known who's palace that was, but if he had to guess it must've belonged to Satan. Then he heard a demon walking towards the rocks and he glanced around to see a rather weak looking one with a dagger at its hip walking towards him. He hid behind the rock and waited, luring the demon behind the rock and appearing behind it to pull out its dagger and kill it. Now that he had a weapon, as crappy as it was, he had to get away before he was discovered. Keeping the outcrop between him and the palace, he quickly moved away to see what else was in hell, and to see if there was a way to leave.

Zaen grinned and hung on to the dragon like he was riding a bull at the rodeo, even going as far as to letting go of one hand to wave his imaginary cowboy hat in the air and swing his feet around. He grabbed on and continued to stab at it's face, smiling wickidly as a few of his stabs made contact with actual fleshy dragon skin, causing some bleeding in the face area and a tiny cut to the eye. As the dragon breathed fire, some rose up as he flung around, got burned a little in the arm. He winced, but continued on, ignoring the intense pain in his arm that was the burn.

Nari pouted when she looked at Zhalia when she seemed unphazed by her hug.
'Sorry Zhalia.' she pouted and her head lowered a bit, her tail curling around her leg.
She didn't want either of them to die, but she didn't particularly have Zhalia's sneaking skills.
Her eyes brightened a bit when she heard Zhalia say it was good to see her again and saw her smile.
'New friend? Yay!' she exclaimed happy.
She pouted when Zhalia stated she would not carry her, but shook it off and started skipping towards the location of the soul.

John got a few cuts in, damaging the dragon's scales, and once or twice creating cuts that drew blood. As he swung, the beast seemed to roar and breathe fire at someone else on top of it, but John didn't check who it was. He continued his swinging, beginning to lose control of his body as the blood lusting personality began to take over. "Heh... Heheh... Bleed!" He shouted this, beginning to swing harder, causing more cuts to actually draw blood. "Bleed for me!" He began to laugh maniacally to himself as he swung the scythe, getting more and more reckless with each swing.
