The Room

*Belak's lightning would probably fuck up the shield, but it'd remain standing, as Be'lak didn't give his all into the attack. The Devil returns his attention to Lecter, parrying his sword with his claws, and trading his own blows just as quickly*
I had wished you stronger than this.
*Lecter snarls and empties the rest of his clip at Be'lak while they duel, to little effect*
You cannot pay for your crimes. Not with death. But my other creation can.

*The centipede topples the tree in its charge, still carrying Vaseraga as it turns towards John as well, ready to defend it's master. The Devils blood seeps from its head, but it still goes on for now*

*The Scarecrow laughs as it raises its leg blade at Sydney, ready to bisect her as she lands*

The Room

*Be'lak raises his hand, and fires off his own beam of energy to collide with the brightlance, causing them to ricochet all over*
I came for my son, but I am not against shedding your blood as well
*The Devil then turns to regard Sasha, and flicks his wrist at her, causing lightning to fly from his fingertips at her*
I will make sure to meet you again, when you are sent to Hell.

*Lecter charges at Be'lak with his sword, trying to distract him from Sasha and John*

*The centipede tries to close it's maw as best it can, and swerves to ram Vaseraga into a tree. It can't, however, block the scythe going to it's head, and instead fires off a blast of electricity that it was building up at Vaseraga*

*The Scarecrow can't block the blow, and gets punched in the face. It's head recoils back, but it keeps giggling*

The Room

*Be'lak raises a hand, and a tendril intercepts John's shot, albeit being obliterated in the process. Two other tendrils reach for John, trying to swat him*
I am the Master of Hell. What makes you think you can best me, a mere mortal with a gun?
*The Devil keeps walking towards Lecter, who slowly gets back on his feet, and raises his pistol*
Lecter: You die today, Be'lak.
My own son, daring to raise a weapon against me.
*Lecter fires the gun, yet Be'lak seems unphased by being shot in the chest*

*The centipede tries to slam it's pincers shut around Vaseraga, and lightning begins to crackle between it's chitin plates*

*Sydney's wrist would probably snap after taking the force of the hit, unless Necromancy made her bones more durable. Regardless, the scarecrow gets shocked still, and his laughing is mixed with a snarl*

The Room

*The centipede gets hit by the blast, and it roars in protest as it's chitin rattles. It sees Vaseraga as the largest threat, and scuttles straight for him, it's maw drooling as it's pincers spread wide*

*Lecter is trying to keep the tendrils busy, dashing around them while they constantly fire their thorns*
Lecter: Enough, Be'lak. Show me that a Devil can best a mortal. Prove that your blood is worth bearing.

You admit your heritage.
*A black ball of swirling energies flies into Lecter, sending him off his feet*
But you still act like a mortal. It must be changed.
*Be'lak steps out of the shadows, on the opposite end of the group as the centipede, and begins striding towards Lecter*

*The scarecrow creature flips onto it's hands, and swings it's leg blade at Sydney again, all while still laughing*

The Room

*The tendrils heal as fast as they're damaged, and begin shooting the thorns at the group as well*
*Lecter heads towards the tendril holding Karma, his demonic reflexes allowing him to block the oncoming thorns with his blade*

I had hoped that you wouldn't make me hurt my own blood. But I must do what is necessary.
*Karma's tendrils squeezes down on her, causing her bones to shatter*
*The earth shakes violently as a massive, black centipede bursts from the ground near the group, and heads straight for the group*
Lecter: Damnit Be'lak, let me kill you!

*The humanoid laughs as it vaults forwards, spinning through the air as it angles its leg blade at Sydney's throat*

The Room

*Black tendrils rip through the ground and coil around each remaining skull, crushing them in the process*

To help one Devil kill his own father. Mortals make little sense.

*Karma flies at one tendril, but a black thorn (about three feet long, and covered in spikes) fires out from it, and impales her. The same tendril then wraps around her, keeping her in place*
*Lecter growls and looks around*
Lecter: Show your face.

*The humanoid figure near Sydney is missing a half of a leg, which has been replaced by a large ass blade. The figure himself looks like a cross between a scarecrow and a jester. It keeps limping towards Sydney, occasionally doing a flip as well, with a surprising skill in acrobatics*

The Room

*Lecter keeps fighting, and the skulls start shooting icicles at the group (which are demonic, so they can do more than just plink off of armor). If they get close to anyone, they also send a wave of frost at them, which is strong enough to freeze them whole, if it connects*
Lecter: Careful!
*He activates his Devil Trigger and starts combating the skulls as best he can, becoming a blur as he dances through them*

He hides the truth from you. About who he is. Where he comes from.

*The Bat is completely obliterated, RIP. Not like he was a nice guy or anything, probably just wanted directions to the nearest bar or bathroom or some shit. Nah, it was a Devil, definitely deserved to die.*

*A humanoid creature drops from the trees not far from Sydney, and limps heavily towards her while giggling and snickering insanely*

The Room

*Lecter continues to fire at the skulls, and draws his sword to dispatch any that come too close*
*The skulls are surprisingly fast, narrowly avoiding blades as they fly, yet projectiles are much more effective*

Hell is not far from home. For one of you, Hell is your home. The others,
it is becoming your home.
*The voice seems to rise from the ground itself, in between the group*

*Pseudo Horus disappears as the bed crashes down on him*
*Library Bat fires another bolt of electricity at the Major as it flies past, leaving him to the fate of the burning library. It then heads straight for Jillian and Co, firing more lightning everywhere*

The Room

*Lecter pauses as laughing echoes to the group, and he scans the area*
Lecter: Saragoss. Watch their mouths.
*Floating skulls fly in circles around the group, seemingly coming from nowhere. They appear human, aside from being much larger than any human skull*
*The Devil Hunter immediately opens fire on the skulls, and Karma flies to engage them as well*

*Bat B's knees sag as it gets impaled, and it attempts to zap Zeta while it still has strength*
*It then disappears as Jillian finishes it off, leaving no trace*

*Pseudo Horus keeps battling Horus, brutally using its fists to try and kill the Avenger*

*Library Bat frees itself from the shelf eventually and flies after the Major, firing more lightning and causing the fire to spread more as it goes*

The Room

*Lecter nods and looks around the area*
Lecter: She's more than just a bird. She's family to me.
*Karma flies off of Lecter's shoulder and starts circling the area. Lecter walks towards the tree that Be'lak sent him into, and kneels down*
Lecter: Where are you?
*He draws his pistol as he hears a distant roar, followed with the rattling of bones, and slowly stands up*
Lecter: Weapons ready. How well can you fight, Vaseraga?

*Bat B gets shot and staggers slightly, opening itself up to a hit from Zeta*

*Pseudo Horus tries to pull Horus into the bathtub as well, and doesn't seem affected by the water. However, the water is boiling from the amount of electricity frying through it*

*Library Bat tries to avoid the plasma shots as it swoops through the library, but eventually gets hit and flies into a shelf*
