The Undeclared War. (The War. 1.5.)

[Enizo]

"Are you kidding me?" Enizo could help but think as the creature swung its tentacle at him. Enizo quickly put a barrier around him but the force was too great, cracking and breaking the barrier which caused him to go right through a building wall.

"And now my back feels even worse..." Enizo said to himself as he forced himself up from the ground. He was bleeding in several areas from that throw, a light scratch in the back of his head was bleeding like crazy, soaking the surrounding hair in the thick red blood. He had a cut on his forehead that was also bleeding down into his left eye not to mention the couple of broken bones.

Enizo wasn't sure how he managed to stand up but assumed it was due to the adrenaline that was pulsing through his body, "Alright you son of a bitch..." Enizo growled as he charged up his magic, "DIE!" He yelled as he released the power, the swirl of light and dark energy flew right at the Lost.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar grinned before the flashbang went off. Volkmar flinched at the light and sound, then his face had the grin he had before. "So, what you are saying is that when I defeat you, I will be the man who was stronger than the Saints. I like that title." He said getting ready to attack Bart.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa shielded his eyes from the flash, but was still momentarily blinded. He saw double and his ears were ringing like a bell, not at all aided by Ave clawing away at his mind, but he forced himself to focus. Volk seemed to be wanting to fight Bart on his own... But Bart's statement about having the abilities of all the Saints unnerved him. Roxa shook the double vision away and stepped up, alongside Volk.

"I know the sort of person you are... But I can't let you fight him alone..." He muttered, eyes locked on Bart, as he held his swords towards his opponent.

'Forget the berserker, let's just tear this fool limb from limb, Roxa.'

"Bart's strong. Maybe not as strong as you in outright combat, but I know the Saints better than anyone, I'll know how to counter whichever of their powers he throws at us...."

'I said forget him. Are you being a coward again, Brother? Give me to this buffoon. I'll burn him.'

Roxa still didn't move, he didn't trust Ave enough yet... It would be safer to handle this alone.

'Don't be a fool. Without your silly woman, you have nothing to be ashamed of, letting me loose on the enemy.'

He gritted his teeth. He'd agreed to only use Ave as a last resort, he was sticking to that.

'Hmph. This guy is stronger than you, right now. You'll use me either way.'

[Bartholomew]

The Corrupted roared at Kazan, as he made his war dance or whatever the thing was doing. It then started to make a gagging noise as it charged at the weird little man, pink gas started to come out of it's mouth.

________
The Lost looked at Enizo as he started to do his magic. The Lost quickly launched it's back claw towards Enizo, looking to cut him in half. As the back claw attacked him, it used its fist to hit the ground, making a shockwave fly to Siegmand.

[Enizo]

Enizo slipped one of his blades out and pressed his other hand against the side of it. As the tentacle slammed into the blade he used his magic to put extra force so the tentacle sliced right through the blade, taking it right off.

Enizo stared up at the creature. Enizo's eyes were comparable to that of a monster, they were focused and begged for blood. He was happy no one could see him with this thick ash... because he was going to tear this thing limb from limb.

Enizo rushed right at the creature while slipping out another blade. He vaulted himself right into the sky and dived down, his blades pointed to try and stab the creature's head.

[A.B.A.]

(Sorry, but Seigmand isn't near the fight, or even actually Seigmand right now, so he's not there to fight the Lost.)

Feeling the pain subside at last Velestia's hand moved away from her body, replaced in an instant with Seigmand's once more. With a cautionary breath A.B.A. felt her body was completely restored and ready for action, and given the cacophony just beyond her vision she figured it was as good a time as any to get back to it.

Flying out into the open the first thing to cross her vision was the ghastly slug beast that was busy engaging Kazan. Having yet to see him in action she mistook him for nothing more than a swordsman foolishly fighting the giant by himself. "All of them, stupid stupid children." She mumbled in Seigmand's voice as she made a mad dash for the monster. About 30 feet from the fight she gave a quick hop in the air before flying feet first into the ground, submerging herself without a trace to her presence. She didn't slow as she tunnelled through the ground, letting the power of Geomancy pull her through all the while collecting the salted minerals around her as it replenished her armour. Shouting out with the same powerful cry the form of Seigmand sprang from the ground controlling a sharp spire of minerals that rocketed towards the slug beast.

[Kazan]

Kazan reacted with as much speed and haste as possible when he saw the form of someone else burst from the ground, with all the intents and purposes of engaging them monster which he had cornered away. He gave a short curse under his breath as he quickly swung around to the other side of the Corrupted creature and gave an almighty leap into the air, his sword held back for a thrust.

"Sakura Yoyuken!"

Magma suddenly burst from around the hilt of the sword, and coated along its length. Turning what was an already large blade, into an even larger weapon made up of pure lava and magma. The weapon bubbled and hissed as Kazan bore down upon his opponent, thrusting Wareme and it's magma-coated surface towards the enemy, aiming with all intents and purposes, to end this as quickly as possible.

[Bartholomew]

The Lost seemed unaffected with his tentacle cut off, and when Enizo jumped up. The Lost looked up, and swung it's back claw opened up, and the jaw within it open its mouth, and fired a blue beam right at it.

_____

The Corrupted roared in pain as it was dealt blow from below , making it flip, and Kazan's attack severed one of it's arms off. It flipped over, and whimpered, then growled in rage. It then started to vomit a pink liquid all over the place, that dissolved the area around them. It then spew more of the acid vomit towards A.B.A. and Kazan.

[Vash, the Angel's Moon]

Okay, that was it. I was closes tot Enizo and had been mostly attempting to orient myself in the fight this whole time, defending myself and assessing the others' strengths, waiting for the moment I could make my move.

He was in pretty bad shape. That beam would probably kill him.

So I leaped into the fray, wisps flowing out from under the bindings on my crosscythe to form a shield, protecting the both of us - hopefully turning the beam completely, but at least preventing it from completely annihilating Enizo.

"Are you alright?" I called to him.

[Enizo]

Enizo rolled onto the ground, caking his body in the ashes from the ground. Enizo quickly pulled himself back up from the ground and with his vision beginning to blur he couldn't help but stumble a bit.

"Thanks, Vash..." Enizo managed to crack a smile before redirecting his attention back to the creature, "I recognize these creatures Vash... Duo is using monsters from the Tower of Salvation." He cringed while gripping his blade tightly, "All this time we were worried about where he'd build his army and in reality we gave him his army."

Enizo watched the creature carefully, ready for whatever move it may throw at him.

[Vash, the Angel's Moon]

"Damn," I muttered to myself, readying the crosscythe and glaring ahead at the monster. I drew my gun with my other hand and took aim.

"This isn't good, Enizo," I muttered.

[Enizo]

"No it's not. Gods know how many creatures Duo has that are just like this..." He held his blade up, using both hands to steady his blade. Enizo was in bad shape but he couldn't stop fighting now, too much was at stake.

He shook his head before readying himself, "We better take care of this thing fast, who knows how many more there are... we have to take this thing out fast before everyone starts judging us, having trouble with just one of these things after all."

Enizo knew Vash could take this thing out, he just needed to give him a opening. So Enizo slammed his fist into the ground, causing a pillar of fire magic to burst from the ground at the enemy, he'd hope it'd give Vash enough time to hit it... somehow.

[Bartholomew]

The Lost was startled as it's underside took a large magical blast. It's talons latched into the ground, so that it wouldn't be flipped over. The Lost then staggered, shook it's head and then it stuck out its hand. The palm opened up to make a circle and a gigantic spike ball was fired out of it, flying at Enizo with deadly accuracy.

[Enizo]

Enizo moved as quickly as possible, flipping back so that the beam went right by him. Enizo was panting hard, this monster was really getting on his nerves.

"I'll take off its head," Enizo muttered as he slipped out one of his blades and threw it right at the creature's head before firing a magic shot right behind it, the force of the blast propelled the blade forward to the monster's head with extreme speed.

[Bang Shishigami]

"Fear not, comrades, for I shall be an unyielding shield against this vile fiend," I announced, having finally pulled myself away from previous endeavours to assist my good friend Enizo and my new comrade, Vash. Effortlessly blocking and deflecting the cannonball launched from the beasts hand, I hurled several kunai at the abomination, hoping well that adhesive mixture that would burst forth on contact might stall the creature, if even just enough so that my either of my cohorts might sunder the beast in twain.

I would've assailed the fell menace with my own barrage of fist and foot, but I well realized the limitations of my abilities, and knew full well that I had not enough power stored in my armaments at the time to deliver a killing blow, but defence was literally my strongest offence, and it was probably best that I played my part of the impregnable wall that I did so well and saved the power of my gauntlets should I need any of my stronger ninpo for some other foul cretin that might appear later.
