Terrible Thoughts

[[red].Raven]

During Croatoan assault, ‘Rei’ had wrapped her wings around herself and a layer of energy wrapped itself around her. Like an egg, only much less fragile. When the physical attack stopped she immediately stood and smiled when the fiery water was coming at her. At the last second, cutting it so close you would have sworn it hit her, Rei leapt into the air and sped toward the attack originated from. Her eyesight in this form was much sharper than you would think. Spiraling downward, much like she had down before, Rei penetrated the fire and streaked through the stream of water toward Croatoan. She barreled into him, knocking him from the stream. Still grinning, Rei stood, only now picking up on Rhyme’s attack.

'Rei' just stood there, grin in place, and let the ribbons wrap around her. She watched almost boredly as Rain's demon flew into the air before locking her black eyes onto Rhyme. She tugged against the ribbons as though testing their capability before her grin grew wider and darker. With an animalistic growl, Rei pulled against the ribbons and brought her arms in a cross shape in front of her face. First her claws began to glow. Then her wrists and forearms. And then finally her upper arms glowed with an eerie grey light. With unnatural powered, Rei thrust her arms out to her sides, an orb of the grey light engulfing her. When it faded, Rei was gone and the ends of Rhyme's ribbons were aflame with abnormal black fire. They would be up and running again in only seconds, so Rei had decided to take to the sky and deal with Rain's demon first. Her wings beat as she sped upward at an alarming rate, a trail of the black flame being left behind her; it was as though she could stop flapping and still be able to ascend. Her heat seeking eyes immediately found the demon and she sped toward him.

((sorry if this took a while, my internets committed suicide xD))

"So, you want to play rough, huh?" Croatoan said. His arms began weaving imaginary circles around and around, until a point when ice and fire became one, and smoothed across his body, creating an armor stronger than mythril, more flexible than rubber, and faster than the wind. He had only used it once before, that was escaping Satan after the ten years were up. He soared into the sky, both his hands wrapped around each other in a fist, and they slammed down upon 'Rei's' head faster than any human could see, but Rei wasn't exactly human right now.

((Sorry I'm late respondin..My internet was brutally murdered by my father))
The demon had finally gather enough power to do som serious damage. It quietly waited it's moment. As 'Rei' was heading toward Croatoan, The demon launched forward, and shot a giant ball of fire towards 'Rei'.

Rain sat on the ground, her vision still terrible, and it seemed to be getting worse. "Damn" she whispered, her fingers gently rubbing her eyes.

Rhyme let the ribbons fade and drop as the cut of the power going to them. Jumping back he knelt next to Rain, dirt all over his face and hands.

“Do you think it is time to try out that special song we were talking about?” he asked, seeing that nothing else was really working.

[Jackie]

Rain nodded, begining to summon up the last of her power. This would either knock her out, or, kill her. Though, it would likely only knock her out. Shadows began to stand and take form, as Rain awaited the music to start.

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme felt her energy, and hoped she was going to be okay. He let the music for the song flow through is veins as he let the song begin to play through the air. It was Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. Rhyme gave Rain's hand an encouraging squeeze to let her know it would be okay.

((Sorry, short post since Rain has to start the song))

[Jackie]

Rain took in a deep breath, "

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home"

As she sang, the shadows became solid, gruesome figures. Otherwise known as zombies. They stumbled towards 'Rei' and growled, moaned, and hissed at her as they approached.

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme began to sing his part of the song then. When he did, his magical energy was added to the zombies. His, as always, was ribbons, but this time instead of hurting something, they wrapped around the zombies, keeping them together and making them stronger, since the one main weakness of zombie was that they could easily fall apart.

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can‘t wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can‘t wake up
Before I am undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I‘ve become

[[red].Raven]

'Rei' eyes narrowed on Croatoan a second too late. The impact sent her flipping downward until she landed with surprising grace on both legs. After growling up at Croatoan, she focused on the approaching zombies and a demonic laugh escaped her. "Using the undead against a Death God in a cemetery? Fools." This was becoming dangerous for Rei now too. It was because of their location that the Shinigami has been loose so long. It's never been released for so long before... Rei watched the scene unfolding with little interest...that is, until she lunged toward Rain...

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme watched and glared when he saw Rei coming toward them quickly. Luckily it wasn’t Rhyme’s turn for the song, so he was free to act. Getting up he opened his mouth wide and let out an earsplitting screech. It was louder then any ‘normal’ person could create. It went in a focus beam heading straight toward the running Rei.

As he hit his high note the Sunset Charm around his neck began to glow softly, healing some of his minor wounds and giving him some of his energy back.

[Jackie]

Rain narrowed her eyes at the oncoming 'Rei'. "
now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life"
As Rain sang, the zombies began to speed up, as they raced towards 'Rei'. One of the zombies spoke "Yes Rei I dare to use the undead against you..It may just give us an advantage yet!" Rain's voice came out. She was transfering her thoughts to the zombie so she could sing.

[[red].Raven]

'Rei' stopped and skid to a halt mere feet from where Rain stood. Her taloned hands clasped her head, desperately trying to cover her sensitive ears form the high-pitched note. The beam hit its target dead-on, sending the demonic Rei into a gravestone... breaking it in half from the impact. This was what Rei needed. She needed the Shinigami to hurt, to feel pain, to become vulnerable to her Will. but unfortunately, 'Rei' wasn't down for long. Growling, she took to the air and locked her scorching black eyes onto Rhyme. "Die pitiful human." With unnatural speed, Rei sped downward toward Rhyme; fangs bared, talons sharp and ready. the zombies she would deal with later, then the annoying demon and worthless female.

[±Witchcraft±]

Rhyme flinched, closing his eye tight when he saw that he didn’t buy himself enough time. He would have to try to double up on his duties. They both had to sing now, so neither could defend. He would have to try and sing the song and sing it in the banshee wail. He knew his vocal chords would probably be done after this song.

Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can‘t wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can‘t wake up
Before I am undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I‘ve become

When Rhyme tried to summon the strength to sing his part as high as he could, nothing happened. His body couldn’t handle doing both at the same time. Knowing there we probably dead, he hugged Rain close. When he did their amulets fell together, completing the full Yin/Yang symbol. When that happened a bright light flared, creating a small bubble of pure light energy around them, protecting them for a short time.

***Secret Power Discovered***
The Yin Amulet was combined with the Yang Amulet
When Both Amulets are put together, a protective field of energy is created for 3 turns (Can only be used once per RP)

(Wow, I almost pulled a Dain, but these items we actually had ^.^)

[[red].Raven]

At the last second, Rei spread her wings and slowed her flight, but not soon enough. She crashed into the 'bubble', sparks and jolts of energy coursing through her; it felt as though she were being electrocuted. With a furious hiss, she pushed away from the shield and perched atop a gravestone. Yes, that had hurt, but they could never hope to defeat the Shinigami. though, they were doing a hell of a job of annoying it and buying time. Luck seemed to be on their side. throwing her head back and screeching in anger, Rei took to the skies once more, looking for that accursed Croatoan to... 'vent' on. She spotted him, but there was no smile this time; she wasn't fooling around anymore. With a blink, Rei's black eyes left behind them a trail of that lethal black fire from earlier. the markings all along her body seemed to burst into an even brighter white light and the Mark burned a blinding crimson, sending a trail of steam off her skin. Long, ivory, blood-detailed spikes pushed out of her skin all along her spine and down her tail. They were serrated along the edges, much like the saw-like sides of a shark's tooth. 'Rei'- even though she was traveling up wards- seemed to be gaining more speed every second as she streaked toward Croatoan; it seemed she went faster than any natural thing should be able to fly. Only moments before she would barrel int him, Rei folded her wings and curled into a ball, now spiraling like a daggered wheel toward Croatoan. The spikes glowed with immense, burning energy. Forget about Croatoan's armor, Rei was angry.

[Jackie]

Rain put her amulet around Rhyme's neck and walked out from behind the sheild. "Rei I know you're in there..." She started, tears in her eyes as the zombies formed a protective circle around her. "You have to fight this thing. I honestly don't think we can beat this beast, so we need you're help on this one." Tears were streaming out of Rain's eyes now. "Think of it like this...You do this one thing for me and I'll owe you one." She said with a slight smile. "Please Rei..We can't really do anything unless we kill you, and none of us want to do that." Rain sighed and sat down. She looked down. "If you must..Then kill me." she whispered.
