*Angelus managed to take a quick step back letting the edge of the blade cut a thin line into his chest, blood seeping down from it Angelus started feeling that he was taking to much hits.*
Angelus: You're truly a interesting creature.... *Angelus said holding his hand out trying to regain control of the blades, they soon started to fly back at Scarth.*

Scarth was still off balance from landing the axe kick, leaving his foot up in the air as the tendril seeped back into his foot. It was all he could do to contort his torso and upper body while the Other swept most away from him in the nick of time. Yet the speed and quantity of the blades proved too much for their efforts and left an array of cuts against his shoulders, legs and chest. Scarth fell backwards, managing a swift roll to bounce back on his feet after the attack.
Panting slightly from the stinging wounds, he looked coldy up towards Angelus. His eyes shifted to the right, as if someone was speaking into his ear ever so silently. He nodded in understanding before standing tall and glaring back at his foe. "That stung Angelus. But I understand now. All the others said something about being weaker, and he tells me you're affected. Your attacks are slower than they should be. Still..." Scarth looked his body over, checking himself all over and bobbing his head. "Eight. He says I got off lucky here. But you won't be so lucky Angelus. Oh no no no. We've just started." Scarth waved a taunting finger at Angelus before rushing down the Hero.
He came in directly towards the dark Hero, not bothering to dodge as the Other's limbs parried away any of the flying blades. As he got within striking distance, Scarth leapt in a twirl like a graceful figureskater, his body upright but twisting like a drill. From his waist eight thick tendrils fired out and whirled around him due to the momentum. Scarth's body was as a top with it's intent to leave Angelus beaten and battered.

*Angelus tried to bring the swords back but was to late... he was hit by EVERYTHING sending him tumbling to the ground.*
Angelus: Ah.. yeah... you got me there... *he said standing up but stumbling a bit before regaining his balance.* But you gotta know, my power may be limited but my defense hasn't changed one bit.
*Angelus spit out some blood.*
Angelus: I'm getting tired of this game... *His blade started to glow.* Ki yo no Tenshi...
*A veil of darkness wrapped around Angelus like an egg, then two black wings broke the veil showing Angelus with a black and blue aura around him and two black wings.*
Angelus: Graaaaaaaa! *He yelled the plants around him withering. He then swung his sword blue blades flying to Scarth but this time faster then last time.*

Scarth landed smiling brightly. He turned to Lilith and shouted. "Nice one eh Lilith? What would you score that as?"
Look back. He's up again.
Scarth's head turned instictively to follow the Other's advice. The shadowy loom of the mysterious egg that laid infront of him only caused him to laugh as he dashed towards it. "Hahahaha! I'm gonna break little egg and drink every tasty yolky drop that falls out from it!" His mind thought to the sweet reddish yolk that would pore so softly from this egg. He licked his lips as he went to punch it, only for the lash of the wings that burst through to knock him aside.
Scarth had just enough time to get up before Angelus struck at him with the energy blades once more. Scarth's acrobatic efforts kept him swift and dodged all but one that flew for his chest as he had leapt backwards to evade on that cut low. The Other's arms burst from his chest and put up a guard as the energy dug into its flesh. The thick purple ooze flowed out once more, staining the fresh green grass as Scarth landed safely.
You've messed around too long Scarth. You're still to weak to deal with one like this by yourself. Let me out. Let me out let me out let me out. The words repeated in his mind endlessly as Scarth whispered only barely loud enough to Angelus to hear.
"He's coming out. He wants out. I have to you've angered him... You'll die now." He glared up as the limbs on Scarth's chest grabbed onto his wrists and slowly pulled themselves overtop until Scarth's arms were hidden by the powerful looking black ones that appeared from his shoulders. As this happened black energy slid out all over his legs till two agile reverse joint legs grew to replace his humanoid ones. At this point Scarth was little more than the vessel for the Other's power as it ran around the golf course in a burst of speed. The new legs gave him enough mobility to dodge the barrage of energy blades and slip in for a forward straight, except his fist had morphed into a spiked mace-like orb.

*Angelus studied Scarth, this time without fear. He moved his sword around using the energy as a shield against him.*
Angelus: At first I had trouble reading your movements, but now I get it. I can tell when you're going to have your other one attack, your body makes a quick jerk where it is coming from thus giving me time to react. *His looked up at him with a smile.* What's wrong? Have you gotten slower?
*He burst into the air, flying fast, not as fast as usual but still enough to fly over him ten times firing a energy ring each time at him.*

Lilith gave a very uncomfortable look to Scarth as she answered, "Yes...very nicely done, Scarth."
Despite the exciting, raging battle going on before her Lilith felt no need to step in especially with Scarth's...interesting abilities. She hadn't actually seen the man fight before, so this was a learning experience for her indeed.
In a way, she was almost afraid to step in until she knew what exactly he could do. She watched Angelus fly over head and tapped her fingers on her chin boredly.

Scarth stared up in the sky curiously as his body jerked back and forth to dodge the projectiles Angelus barraged him with. His back hunched over as the immense force of two larger versions of the wings he'd sprouted before burst form his back. With only a few pumps he had rocketed into the sky and hovered for a moment. Scarth's head rolled up and around to face Angelus, his face passive except for his eyes that held a crazed twinge in them.
"You don't understand Angelus. You'r done fighting me. You fight the Other now, and he shall reap what I have sowed. He shall reap you and the trickling dark energy that seeps out from that sad little conduit of a body." In a flash he rushed in towards the dark foe and lashed a mighty claw out at Angelus.
"Through me he cuts." He clawed out with his other hand.
"Through me he slays." From Scarth's chest burst a writhing number of tendrils that jabbed out at Angelus.
"And through me he shall drink that crimson darkness trapped so tightly within!" As the tendrils struck madly at Angelus they ceased their onslaught for a moment. The mass of dark flesh and muscle twisted together in an instant to form a demonic head that loomed over Angelus, dwarfing the young fighter. With terrifying speed it flew towards him, rows upon rows of glinting fangs held ready to tear away at him.

*Angelus had trouble dodging all the attacks, and for a moment fear reached him when the giant demonic head came out and then rushed at him. Angelus threw up his blade making a shield with it, but on contact the shield broke taking some of the damage but knocking Angelus down to the ground.*
Angelus: Shit... *Angelus said looking up at him, how much more tricks did this guy have up his sleeve?... or body...*

The demon head split back into the flaying sections of the Other as it seaped back into Scarth's torso. Upon his shirt was the splattered blood of Angelus left from the hellish attack. Scarth chuckled to himself as his body hung in the air by the slow flapping of his wings. "Mmmm, do you see your weakness Angelus? Even your blood rushes out of that withering husk the second a chance arrives. Hm hm hm, any last words before he ends this?"
Despite Scarth's interest in what Angelus would say, the Other had no intention of leaving the dark Hero a moment's reprieve. Diving down towards him he pointed his claws out and lunged for Angelus' throat.

A tiny vial was suddenly projected between the two men, exploding on Scarth's hands. A deep, purple smoke seeped from the broken vial and filled the area with an....oddly sweet smelling fragrance.
"Scarth," Lilith calmly spoke as the smoke began to swirl and attempt to entice their senses, "really. There are people watching. I doubt they are going to step forward, however. And look, you've already done your damage..."
Her eyes shifted towards Angelus laying on the ground, blood everywhere. Her eyes seemed to soften as she took a few steps towards him and even knelt down by him.
"He lays here waiting for death, Scarth. I don't know how you do things in Ariadelvento, but in Alberisato we'd rather that our enemy die standing and show a bit of honour rather than give in," Lilith's hand shot out suddenly and grabbed Angelus roughly by the chin, "yet he is an odd case, he has so much fight in him even when he's down. I guess I kind of liked that in you, Angelus. It's a shame you didn't decide to stay..."
She dug her sharp nails into his skin. She'd rather let the poison slowly kill him rather than let Scarth give him a sweet death...and one that they'd have to clean up after.

That witch! She poisoned me!
*He leaped up feeling the poison quickly affect him, he made one swipe at her as he toke a step back, touching his chin.*
Angelus: You bitch! *He yelled out, trying to keep hold of his sword.*

Lilith fell backward, still getting Angelus' fist to her face as she did so. She let out a small cry before she rose to her feet and backed away, grabbing at her cheek.
"Well, well, you certainly are an angry one. I try to help you and you hit me in the face..."

Angelus: Help me!? *He yelled then fell to his knees.*
Shit, shit, shit! I can't die here, not like this, I'm not that pathetic!
*He darted his head side to side looking for a way, he then couldn't hold himself up and fell to the ground.*

The Other had to twist quickly mid dive to avoid crashing into Lilith, barely managing to skirt the ground with its wings before landing. "You've got a hell of a lot of nerve pulling that Lilith! I swear I should finish you..."
Leave her be Scarth. She's important to Trucido. You'll be better for having protected her than having killed a Hero. Scarth bit his lip hard, letting a small trickle of blood run down it. Feeling the Other relinquish control back to him he forced the limbs back inside and walked slowly towards Angelus. He stood over the Hero, staring at him intensely as if looking for something. Scarth delivered a swift kick to the man's ribs before turning back to Lilith. His eyes had lost the maniacal twinkle to them, leaving only the stern harshness that laid in them as he glared at the Forest Queen.
"You were lucky Lilith. Lucky that I was here, and especially lucky that the Other was here. He seems to think you're worth keeping around. But remember this woman; Trucido can easily make a new toy like you to play with when this is all over. Should you ever stop me in the middle of dealing with my business again, and especially if I see that brooding traitor alive after this, then I'll warn you of this much." His hand grabbed for her chin, caressing it softly with each finger as he looked dead center in her eyes. "I'll tear you apart, and slake my thirst on you." A set of jaws screeched as they burst from the back of his palm and chomped just inches from her face before slipping back inside him.
"Let's go. I hear alarms in the distance. The Earthlings must have sent their forces in to attack us. He believes it would be wise for us to avoid un...necessary conflict." He hesitated, the large word puzzling him as he tried to repeat what the Other had whispered in his mind.

Lilith's stare hardened as Scarth approached her; it was odd for him to act like this, even for an odd man like himself. She didn't like it in the least, issuing threats, and intruding into her personal life with Trucido the way he was. She sucked in a sharp breath and held it as he touched her chin, her lip curling in clear distaste as he spoke to her.
"I. don't. rely. on. you," despite the jaws that had just lashed out at her only a moment ago, Lilith swiftly slapped Scarth's hand away from her face, "and learn your place. Don't you ever touch me like that again."
She marched off, trying to listen for these alarms he spoke of and avoiding the direction they came in. Oh, what would happen when Trucido heard all of this...
Or rather, perhaps he shouldn't. Running to him in the past seemed to give her that image that she was some parasite living off of everyone else. On Earth, perhaps, but in her own land things were different.
So different that Scarth could very well get a good taste of his own medicine. He seemed to adore those chomping jaws of his. She had her own.
