Lucifer paced back and forth within the circle of Heretics within hell, watching as his demonic soldiers trained, and converted the souls of those whom had forsaken their god. He felt a hellgate open, and looked into the air, "Why all the damn intruders.........."

Deus jumped to the floor as Alexis fell forward slightly and knelt down facing the ground using her arms to stay up. She was breathing fairly heavily.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah... Just... Fine...",
She sat back and lay on the ground looking up at the sky,
"Not used to expelling so much power at once... I will be fine in a few minutes... Just need to rest a bit...".

Deus nodded

There were three flashes of light as The catgirl with the heavy armour and sword appeared, alongside the two twins.

"Maria... Jean and Jane? What-"

"What is going on?",
Maria took a few steps towards Deus,
"A bit of warning before moving the whole island would be apreciated..."

Deus sighed,
"Sorry, I didn't want to waste time..."

Jenny appeared at the hall door once more,
"So much for sleep... All this noise and movement, thought a storm hit us..."

Friend looked up at the island, raising an eyebrow.
"Goodness me. That's impressive."

He looked down at the newcomers.

"Summarized, I'm here to ensure my survival by impregnating this archangel here-" - he tapped the silent Chastity on the head so they could see who he meant - "- in order to have a child with her before the grievously wounded incubus over there does, Inferno can't stop me because he's too scared for his daughter, the she-demon can't stop me out of pure weakness, not a clue what the island's doing there to be honest - and... here we are."

He let his eyes fall on Grey - the one here who most intrigued him.
"You seem to be the universal leader here, the trump card. Although, I can sense a certain cat on the island above, and if he attempts to stop me - because I assume that's why Inferno summoned you here also - I shall have to be very rude to you all."

Kiadred snarled quietly, still holding Mawthrough's body.
Mawthrough had stopped bleeding for now, although he was still unconscious.
Inferno was seething, but seemed to be trying to think of a way out of this.
Finally, he called to Chastity, knowing she was hating this.

"Don't worry, Chastity. You're not going anywhere with him. We're going to stop him - all of us."

Friend raised an eyebrow - then smiled gently.
"Ah. Of course. That's why you called Mystic. The final piece. You can't take me down without his power. You, the demon, Ezekiel, Minerva even. You could attack me as much as you like, but unless Mystic and his charming sister join in, I can't be hurt. How very clever of you..."

Lucifer continued to watch as his top soldiers trained, then felt the presence of a lich within his domain. "Why is it such pests are always intruding in my domain, cowards to death, thieves to life, fools, geniuses, former heroes, former villains.....purpose....there is none........" He walked toward the forges within this domain.

Zigera held out her arm, and as she did, Oblivion's energy was unleashed from her body, as she was born with a seed of his power.

Grey's eyes began to glow, one eye, glowing green, the other purple, as he spoke, "You've lived on long enough, its time for a change, and Chastity is but the daughter of an arch angel, being one, and being born from one are two different things, especially in a hybrid matter, a lesson Occidio taught me.......but back to my main point, are you such a coward, that you would do this, are you that afraid of death?" He began to move forward, his sister walking alongside him.

Lucifer entered the forge, the fires nearly extinguished from his cold presence. Looking upon the lich, he had a look of disdain. "What are you doing here coward to death, thief of life!"

Grey rose up his hand, "I'm guessing it has something to do with the Entities, Aron and Syrus also have a play in this if they wanted to.........I've tasted the pain and power of all the entities, and wield the power of two..........my sister has a seed of Oblivion, the source to her stream of metal..........."

There was a flash of light as Deus appeared among the group. He was being held by a tired but resilient Alexis With Jenny standing next to them.

"My, my, my... Such a gathering, but no welcome party",
Jenny pouted slightly in emphasis of her statement

Minerva immediately rushed to Mawthough, and began to heal him.

Grey spoke within his mind to Oblivion and Omega, before saying the words, "Restrictions........zero......." As this occurred, the power of the entities surged through him like never before. He appeared in front of Friend a mere moment later. "You've lived long enough, but we cannot kill you, instead, you're going to end up crippled this day, even if it takes everyone here to do so............crippling, or sealing you away.....pick your poison......or we'll pick it for you......." Zigera was about to approach, but Grey motioned her not to do so.

Deus looked at friend questioningly then turned to Jenny,
"A welcome party does sound fun about now..."

Lucifer crossed his arms, causing the temperature in the room to plummet until just a single, small flame remained for the forge. "And why should I allow you to make one of these pathetic creatures forge a blade?" He loosened up a bit, and as he did, the flame was a bit more free, and burned just a bit hotter.

Lucifer smirked, the let the flame within the room rush in, and allowed the forge to be used once again, though the demon forging the blade was severally burned. "Excellent, just be sure to send the worthwhile souls down here, I could always use more soldiers, a few billion extras actually."

Lucifer smirked, "Oh, but there's going to be a condition of course, any blade used against me, within my realm, forged of my own fires will be nullified, that's my only condition, non-negotiable, slay Michael himself if you want, swing it at me, I'll destroy you in every single way I can, sound good?" He chuckled.

OOT: Here's the challenge - you have to try and figure out Friend's weakness. It's not that hard, and I will drop hints.

Friend raised an eyebrow, and applauded Grey's power.

"Amazing... unleashing the full power of Oblivion and Omega. The most powerful human alive. But..."

Faster than a blink, he landed four punches into Grey's gut, chin, and face, each strike generating little shockwaves.
"I'm afraid your power doesn't matter against me Mystic. I can only be defeated in a certain way, and unless you do so, we are going to be here for quite some time."

Inferno and Kiadred moved forward to help - but as Inferno started distracting Friend from Grey, Kiadred looked to Chastity.
"Go to him. He needs you."

Then she attacked Friend who threw Inferno into Grey to deal with her next.

Minerva had healed Mawthrough to the extent where he was starting to return to consciousness...

Jenny watched his movements as he attacked, taking note of each thing he did.

Deus looked up at Alexis,
"We need to provide her cover so she can analyse him..."

Alexis nodded, still breathing heavier than normal

Grey dodged Inferno, and as he did, an ethereal image of himself appeared to be dodging at the same time, as if the Soulshadow was working alongside him. A set of shadow arms caught Inferno, while Grey sped forward toward Friend, his body bleeding slightly at this time.

Zigera sped forward, attempting to kick Friend, aiming between his legs.

Lucifer shrugged. "Do whatever you want."
