Livia sighed, "Only if I let it......."

Nijuu smiled warmly. "See." She said. "Not all ties are completely severed." She added. "As long as there's a glimmer of hope, all is not lost."

Livia sighed and remained quiet as the silver haired woman she brought in with her spoke, "So, you two are Livia's new.....friends.......or....allies....is that correct?"

Nijuu looked at the silver haired woman and nodded her head. "Yes, I suppose we are." She replied. "I am Nijuu Hisashi, and this is Tynan-"
"Just Tynan." Tynan interrupted Nijuu.
Nijuu turned to Tynan..."As you wish." She said after a moment.

Zigera stepped forward, her demonic looking black eyes surveying the two, her golden pupils trained on the woman. "I see....well....I'm Zigera Mystic.....Livia is my niece.....Grey is my twin........though I'm not as tall as him.....I still tower over most women......." She reached out with an armored hand for Nijuu, "Nice to meet you Nijuu............"

Nijuu continued to smile and shook Zigera's hand. "Wow. I wasn't sure if Grey had any family...I really owe Grey a lot over the last couple of days." She said.

Zigera smiled, though the act of doing so looked painful to her, "Well......Grey has several siblings, mostly brothers, and a younger sister......and his mother still lives....well.....our mother still lives........we've both spent a lot of our lives saving her............we've a large family......and everyone is equally valued...." She walked over to Livia, and placed an armored hand on her head before leaning in, and placing a warm kiss on her forehead, "Especially you little one......"

Livia frowned, "I told you to quit calling me short!"

With a single arm, Zigera lifted Livia off of the ground by the back of her shirt, "I just like calling you that 'little one', because it makes you sound adorable......"

Livia's face red with embarrasment, she looked away, frowning.

Nijuu smiled warmly. "I suppose all families are like this."
Tynan looked at Nijuu, and shook his head. "I can't say family reunions with my family were ever this loving."

Zigera turned, "We all have our issues........we all came back together for Grey......I was thought to have been dead, Tycoon ran away from home, same with Jessenda, Kye felt hopeless due to his disease, Reap wanted to be alone, Grevian was cursed, mom lost dad....Rave betrayed us.....well....he's still gone........anyways....we kept to our separate paths after our father died saving everyone.......but Grey brought us back together......"

Tynan looked at Zigera and nodded his head. "I can understand the sentiment."
Nijuu looked from Tynan and Zigera, and shook her head. "No, no..I didn't mean that." She protested. "I was just thinking out loud." She added then bowed her head. "I apologize, I really should just keep my thoughts to myself."
Tynan placed his hand on Nijuu's shoulder. "You don't have to apologize for anything..but there is something I want to ask."
Nijuu raised her head and looked at Tynan. "What?"
"Back at the fight...you..changed...again...do you know anything about that?" Tynan asked Nijuu.

Zigera let them continue talking, and set Livia down, whom had snagged Zigera's .50 caliber handgun at her side while she wasn't looking, "Give me back my revolver....." Livia kept it in her hands, ready to smack her aunt with it.

"Nope, I'm not giving it to you, not until you apologize....." Livia grinned.

Zigera laughed, "Livia, if you him me with my gun, and break it, I'm going to make you play another rigged game of poker with Jessenda!!!!"

Nijuu pulled her shoulder out from under Tynan's hand and turned around. "I don't know anything about it...but...I do dream about its essence..just as I dream about my mother." She replied. "I don't know if its good or evil...but it seems to want to preserve me."
Tynan folded his arms. "It mentioned something about your power, and your father not telling you something about it." He pointed out.
A puzzled expression formed on her face. "I don't know what it could possibly mean...it's not like my father was willing to tell me anything about my power...other than to exploit it."

"You're taking the words right out of my mouth..."
Then he paused, looking in her eyes.
"Do you...want us to go to your father now and explain our... plans?"

"Does this answer your question?"
He kissed her long and hard, holding her close, letting every inch of her glide under his fingers.
It seemed to last for an age, and when he finally broke the kiss he was completely and totally recovered, the lust she caused him with her very being and taste giving him strength.

"Well... I think I'm ready. How about you?"

Grey had kept his eyes closed the entire time, analyzing the situation, while communicating with Draklin mentally. Upon opening them, he said, "Dageroth has fallen to Genesis.....his power absorbed by him.....I feared that......what's worse.......Genesis now has an army of enhanced hellknights........but I have a plan.........I watched each of our opponents carefully the last time we fought them....and Dralkin's been analyzing the strength of the enhanced hellknights. Word from the Knight's Council, is they're sending Radoc and Hunter to aid us.......those two can handle one hybrid, definitely........I was planning on going after Genesis.......one on one isn't going to work though.....we'll need a unit for each hybrid.......Draklin and I will fight off Genesis, and we'll need several different groups to fight off the enhanced hybrid forces........"

The air became icy cold, as Ezekiel, father to Occidio, and Minerva stepped into the room, both filled with not anger, but sorrow, Minerva actually holding onto Ezekiel's hand, a sign that both of them may actually care more for each other than they let on. "How about we aid in fighting off Genesis......I have a bit more power than you boy....even with those entities........I'm sorry that......that Occidio was killed........"

Minerva wiped a single tear from her cheek, "I only had my son back for a few days.......and I'm going to make that damnable entity pay for what's he's done to my child........."

Grey nods, "Alright......how's this sound, Ezekiel, Minerva, Draklin and I will be up against Genesis.....hopefully we can prevail, he has the power of two entities, the life blade, and thousands of years of stored power.......Hunter and Radoc will handle Nihil.......because both specialize in physical and metaphysical combat..........Zigera and Havoc can probably handle Ignis on their own, since they specialize in metal and in their own ways, they can become invulnerable in comparison to us.........for Nusquam, I was thinking Durial, Lucia and Spike would do well.....though I hear Spike's wounds are still bothering him from Zangeria, and for Caelestis.....whom was holding back severally......." He looked around the room, before continuing.

"I'd say Mawthough, Chastity and Serenity....all of you would do well to fight her together.......any other forces we have could help in holding off the horde of enemies.......or....if someone is struggling with one of the lead hybrids, their aid could be useful........with these focuses assaults, we have a plan at least............." Looking up at Ezekiel, "I know this may not be the time....but I'm going to need my heart at full strength in this battle.....I was wondering.....if maybe you could remove the seal from my body........the one that limits me severally........the one that stops my heart.......and kills me every time I use the entities too much......."

Ezekiel crossed his arms, almost seeming angry, then spoke softly, "I will do so.....however, it'll take over a day for your body to full integrate after the seal is broken, that means we'll have to prepare in that time, and even after that recovery time, there may be a greater risk to your health....are you sure that you want this boy?"

Grey nodded, "If I'd been more capable in battle, I could have done more, this heart of mine keeps failing me when others depend on me, I can't let that happen again......."

Ezekiel walked over to Grey, and placed a hand on his chest. A moment later, two black wings shot out of his back, nearly cutting through the walls, and as this occurred, a suit of black, bio armor appeared on his body, armor similar to Grey's, except more ancient, radiating far more power from the darkness. Veins began to bulge on Grey's chest as something appeared on it, a large glyph, made up of tens of thousands of smaller glyphs, ones meant to cripple a target. They slowly began to burn away, even as Ezekiel stepped away.

He sighed as he reverted back to normal, "Alright boy, two hours, and the burning will stop, then twenty four hours before you can even think of fighting without severe risks to your health......" He walked out of the room with Minerva, while Grey fell to the floor silently, in severe, extreme pain, incapable of doing any serious movements right now.

Arron appeared in the room just as grey was explaining the plan. he dropped the power mag from his SR-25 and walked closer to grey.

"this place was harder to find than I expected, but I guess the powers that where given to me by Omega proofed to be a good guide. I'm a deciple of Omega, which means I may stand a chance against genesis as well. I promised that he'll have to go through me before the world burned and darkened, and I want to keep that."
Arron looked up at Grey as small green glyph's glowed in his eyes.

"I'm ready and willing to go into battle, to end the madness that I just got out of...the madness that Genesis is spreading needs to be stopped or else the earth will be destroyed again. As a son of a Knight, and a Knight myself, I will not stand for the earth to be sent into darkness again. not for the reasons I was told..."

A serious look came across his face as he talked, clinching his fist when he thought back on what Genesis said about burning the earth.

Genesis smiles, "Well, I don't really want to see it burn, I've already seen that event, and wasn't impressed, no, I want the earth to go as dark as it can go, and then, go completely black....

Nijuu looked at Tynan. "I fear we've stumbled on something not meant for us." She whispered to him, suddenly feeling out of place.
Tynan placed his hand on Nijuu's shoulder. "Something I think we would have encountered sooner or later; better now, when Grey had the chance to save our hides, then having that thing kill us and claim our souls has his own." He said, as he clenched his hand into a tight fist. "If only I could transform during.." his voice trailed off.
Nijuu reached up and placed her hand on Tynan's hand that was on her shoulder, saying nothing, as a mournful expression formed on her face. "I fear I may have to face my father one last time." She said finally.

Name: Cereza Cussland
Race: Demon- Fire Dire Wolf
Age: unknown- appears to be in her late twenties
Powers: like most Fire Dire Wolves, she has the ability to control fire. However, being a full blooded fire dire wolf, she does not have two forms. Females of the fire dire wolves tend to be less quick to temper, and more 'diplomatic'; thus they are usually the Alphas.
Weapon/Style: Carries two swords upon her back, and is skilled in making medicines and poison.
Details: Unlike most Fire Dire Wolves, Cereza does not have a 'wolf' form. The form she has is more 'human-like'...however, she has fangs, a wolf-like tail, and a wolves ears. She typically wears dresses, that reach no further than her knees. Another trait that Cereza lacks from other fire dire wolves, is her fur is not aflame, however her fur- which is white- is completely flame resistant.
Back story: Cereza, is Tynan's cousin. Since they are both from the same 'pack'. Cereza was raised from the time of her birth to be the new Alpha of their 'pack'. Many other 'packs' of the same race choose their Alpha's differently. Within the pack that Tynan and Cereza belong to...to become an Alpha, you must be of not only the Alpha's pure-blood, but also lack the ability to have one's fur set a flame. During her 'schooling' Cereza had found out about Tynan's birth, and told that the only reason he was permitted within the pack, was because he had the ability to "put down" a raged fire dire wolf. However, upon the day Tynan was called upon to use this ability, Cereza was told that he died in the attempt, and that his responsibility would fall upon her to find a lone fire dire wolf with the same ability.

Cereza had not long left her pack in search of a lone Fire Dire Wolf to take the place that her cousin, Tynan, once filled. Only once every few centuries, a half breed Dire Wolf was ever permitted to remain within the pack...and not just any half breed, a half breed that could transform, leaving its own demonic power within a weapon....this half breed was the only member of her pack able to 'put down' another of the pack.
Many centuries had passed since the first of the Fire Dire Wolves, and the price paid to be as such was their rage. Not only useful; but also their curse. The elder of the Fire Dire Wolves, as their time came, their rage would consume them, to the point where they were a liability to the entire pack and had to be 'put down'...however...following the lore of her own pack, only one member of the pack was capable of preforming such an act...a half breed..whom could transform, leaving its own demonic power within a weapon. In their lore, the first of such a half breed brought down the former Alpha's mate. Upon his continued rage, many mortals were killed, as well as many of the pack in attempt to rein him in. Finally, the Alpha herself, beseeched her half blood son to stop her mate's rage. After a long battle, this half blood finally brought down the raged wolf...killing him. Though, at first, the Alpha was not pleased with the result, in time she came to accept it, and allowed her half blood son to remain in the pack as a reward for his service to her. Such a 'tradition' was continued within their pack since.
Though now, their pack was left without such a wolf, and it was now her responsibility to find such a half blood Fire Dire Wolf. Following the behest of her Alpha...her mother...to find such a wolf...by any means necessary.

Grey looked up at Arron, "Normally, Omega would be effective, but he took Dageroth's power.....that's two entities......combine their power, and its hard to gain the upperhand........he'll make his body from Dageroth's energy, and use his own to attack us............"

chastity thought for a moment with everything going on, she looked at grey
"well how long do we have cause we had planned to may a visit with my father to deliver some new to him"
she looked up at maw
" unless you want to wait and do this first it is up to you i will go with what you decide on the situation"
she smiled

serenity sat there quietly tending to her husband the best that she could
"i believe we can handle her wouldnt be the first battle i have been in"

Grey nodded, "I'd recommend going to see your dad first......another arch angel may be of use in this battle......especially inferno, from the stories I've heard.......I won't be up and fighting for a little while either....." He looked tot he burning glyphs on his chest.

Syrus sat in the armored vehicle, squeezed into one of four rows of soldiers as it rode along the dirt path to the sprawling city of Colera. He had heard dozens of stories from people who had once lived there, but in all his time as a mercenary, he had never set foot in the city.

"ETA: 60 seconds!" Yelled the driver into a loudspeaker. Syrus nodded and made sure all his equipment was in check before leaning back in his seat, patiently waiting for the vehicle to come to a stop. As he waited, he looked at the faces of the men and women in the row next to him. He could always tell the recruits apart from the veterans in an instant, no matter how old or young they looked. He stopped looking around as he felt the vehicle come to a stop. The hatch ramp lowered and Syrus and the other soldiers filed out, carrying their weapons and duffel bags along as they did.

As Syrus stepped out of the vehicle and his eyes finally adjusted to the light, he looked out at the city of Colera. The rumors about the city being enormous were certainly true. But as his eyes turned to the other half of the city, he saw nothing but fire and destruction tearing away at the side of Colera. An inevitable by-product of the nearby battle. This image would normally sadden Syrus a little, but he had grown callus to such things years ago.

"Well... Looks I wont be getting a drink here." He said quietly to himself as he found a spot on a hill where he could see the battle in the distance. He listened to sounds of the distant gunfire and artillery fire as he watched flickering lights dance on the battlefield.
