(CLOSED)Anything but Par for the Course

[Angelus]

*Angelus struggled forward on the ground, his chin and left arm had gone numb from the poisoning and he didn't have much strength left.*

Unknown: Get up... *Angelus looked up to see the image of Aku No Tenshi.* Now, you disgusting rat.

*Angelus growled at him.*

Ako No Tenshi: How far has the poison spread?

Angelus: ...I can't feel my chin or my left arm.

Aku No Tenshi: Fine, you know what to do. *He glanced over at a post that had been thrown up by the rubble, it's end was red with heat from when Angelus exploded the ground. Angelus used the last of the mana and flew over there, although his aiming was off so he crashed head first into the ground, he then grabbed the post and took and deep breath and pressed it to his chin,the heat burning it intensely.*

Aku No Tenshi: Good, I assume it has spread to far across your arm, discard it. *He said simply and Angelus shot him a look.* Do it, you must not know fear, do it so you can kill the one that did this to you!

*Angelus grabbed his sword and for a second hesitated, then shoved it down the devil blade slicing through like butter.*

Angelus: Ghhhhhha! *He yelled then covered his mouth with his remaining hand.*

Aku No Tenshi: Good... *was all he said then disappeared.*

Angelus: Gha... gha... *He stood up trying to keep his balance, it had indeed done the trick he had rid himself of the poison, any left his body could deal with.*

That bastard... I'll kill him... I'll him them both...

*He thought stepping away, his sword in hand. He was in no shape to fight, he looked in no shape to walk but he rage and would keep him going no matter what...*

[scarth]

Scarth marched on through the tiny territories as he saw the people flee from the hiding spots that they had watched the battle from. He was angry that his victory had been stolen from him, and despite the calmness in his appearance, the bloodlust raged inside him, its desire unquenched. As he saw the insects of men flee from his vision, one sat behind a tree. A younger man, no more than 18 or so looked on paralyzed with fear as Scarth loomed in towards him.

"Did you like the show? Did our dance of death amuse you? I hope so, as a more fitting display could not be seen before I send you to your maker." He lashed his hand out mere inches from the man's face, eyes wide as he anticipated the crimson fountain.

Yet the blade he had wished to spurt from his hand never came, and the violent action towards the man broke him of his paralysis, causing him to rush off. Scarth looked at his hand, staring intently at it as his eyes widened and his upper lip twinged. "Why? You obey me, remember!? YOU WILL DO AS I SAY OTHER!"

No Scarth, I protect you and ensure Trucido's goals will florish. You live because I wish to live, and I lend my strength to you for that reason only. Never forget that.

"It hurts though, my head; hurts. Just one. To ease this pain." The voices in his mind nearly drowned the Other out.

Kill them.
Anyone will do.
It would be so sweet
So sweet.

They filled his mind, each voice pushing against another, each one making the desire that much stronger. Scarth looked around wildly, seeing only the barren field. It was deserted, with only Lilith standing there.

She would do.
Yes, she would do nicely.
That thin neck, and so weak here.
Do it Scarth.

Scarth felt drawn in by the words and as he got up he took a single step towards her. His eyes were a void; empty of all but the vicious desire he felt overcoming him.

ENOUGH! LOOK UP! The Other's voice bellowed in his mind, shaking him out of his trance for a moment. His eyes looked beyond Lilith to the sky as it began to twist and form the portal. There, you see Scarth. Through there lies Trucido, and the Heroes can't be far behind. Let your thirst grow now, and it will be all the sweeter when you slake it on their bodies. It will please Trucido, and you want to please him, don't you?

"I do?" He questioned himself for a moment before his eyes widened as he grinned happily. "I do don't I? Yes the Heroes would make for a much more enjoyable treat. Do you think I could find that little one still? I still want my sandwich. Come Lilith, we should go to Trucido. He's waiting for us." He ran forward and leapt into the portal with all the fervor of a schoolboy ready for summer vacation.
