((This is gonna get confusing... Red text Takami is evil Pen, blue text Takami is Pen's father/ Sion's brother )) Blades smashing and seperating in turn.
A twirling flurry of attacks here, and trio of blocks there.
Swords singing as they met one another again and again.
Sparks flying with every traded blow.Pendragon wrapped a single arm around her waist, pulling her closer. His eyes were soft, trying to memorize her face. "I..."One of them leapt back from the other, blonde hair flowing in the wind. That would be Sion. A moment to take in air, and then back into the fray. Sion leapt at Takami with a heavy downwards strike, blocked with such strength Sion was thrown upwards. Takami followed, shooting up with a powerful uppercut.Takami watched her weave her magic closely, remembering every tiny movement she made. His eyes darted up when Ouwashi was done, and then Takami was gone. Dissapeared into Nothing. "I don't have much time left." Pendragon said. He must have known somewhere in the back of his head, but was only just admitting it to himself. "I'm.... I'm dying..." His voice was soft, more worried about her than himself.
"I'm dying...
But you can save me." Sion spun in a tight circle to block the uppercut. It threw him further into the air. With each blow traded they climbed higher into the air, higher and higher. Both of them moving from form to form, linked in a dance.
Until the unthinkable happened."The Dagger is the key." Pendragon said, eyes moving upwards to meet Lucifer. Hand moving downwards into his coat, returning with a pistol in hand. Then the moment of serenity between them was broken, Pendragon spun Suzume to the side and fired off two shots at Lucifer. Sion spread his wings, two white feathered angel wings breaking through his black top. In two powerful sweeps he had raised even higher into the air, flipping upside down to come in for the killing blow.
Except he never got that chance.Takami reappeared behind her, sweeping his sword for her feet.By the time Sion had spun upside down to face his opponent, he had already lost. Takami had flown closer. Yes, flown. With his own pair of black wings, flown up and ran his blade through Sion.
Sion fell to the floor heavily, failing to stay up on his one working wing, injured but not dead.
Takami landed cleanly, touching his cold sword to Sion's neck.
It seemed like all was over. "There's still time for one more dance!" Pendragon yelled above the gunfire, he had both pistols whipped out now, and his face lit up with every shot fired. Then, Takami fell to one side. Dead.
There was a bullet in his back.[/b][/color]

Ouwashi swirled around in a flurry of movement, her blade stuck into the ground to meet his as it swept in a downwards motion. Though it looked as if it wouldn't survive the impact, it did and at that- it seemed relatively unharmed. She swung around the weapon and long daggers of inky black water pulled from her palms and her stabbed at her opponent with angry ferocity, her opalescent black eyes almost laughing.
"Oh, it won't be the last." Lucifer noted, his form seemed to flicker from one side to the next like lightning as the bullets screamed past him and he kept the same damn calm expression on his face. He needed someone to ascend to the throne when he was done- when he grew too bored to continue to controll Hell and it's demons he had someone in mind to take such a role. Two possibilities actually, and one of them was falling apart. Which left one more. He still had to contact that 'other possibility.' Lucifer grinned, the next few days proved to be productive ones. "Though I can't say that it'll be much of one." His voice carried a nonchalant grace in it's tone and pattern in which it flowed from his vocal chords.
Suzume looked towards Lucifer without much knowlege as to what she was supposed to do, she shook her head. She knew that Lucifer was right- all she had to do was look about her to see that. The murky blackness, Ouwashi even, were all extentions of his power and Lucifer's power seemed to cloud ever molecule and every atom around her. She fealt a faint sense of despair in the back of her thoughts but she kept them there, they wouldn't do any good at this point, no good at all. She flicked her wrists and the Ketsuiki and the Ame appeared in her grasp, eyes narrowed at Lucifer, she looked towards Pendragon for one moment before looking towards thier opponent. She needed to keep Lucifer from killing Pendragon, from killing herself as well, then more issues arise from the need Pendragon would have to aquire the dagger, she'd need some form of control to get the dagger to him, she certainly had no clue of it's major significance- but Pendragon had said he would die, so she was left with no choice.
Ouwashi weaved her hands through the air, her face carried a wicked smile as light formed in the path of her hands as if they were painted onto clean paper, dripping down slightly. A design was formed, and it turned black, reflecting red in the light.
Tsubame hissed, her side carried a long gash that had obviously appeared during the battle though exactly the moment couldn't be accounted for. Her clawed feet pushed off of invisible walls and floors, stairs even that laid around her as she twisted and dived through the air like a banner, teeth shimmered as she came in for another attack on Ouwashi.
Small paper creatures streamed from the design which Ouwashi had painted, white creatures that swarmed around the dragon, thier edges cutting like swords into her mouth, her eyes, her hide, her paws, all over her and she whipped around in a panic as the small attackers continued the onslaught, they were obviously too small and too fast to pick off together. Flames spurted from her nostrils and throat, engulfing the space about her.

And there he stood, arm extended with a smoking pistol in hand.
Red coat flowing in the wind.
In the same way Ouwashi did, all damage dealt on Takami passed over to Pendragon. Since Pendragon was untouchable at the moment, it did little damage to him. There was only one way to kill Takami, and that would be to strike down Pen.
But there was only one way to kill Pen too.
Suzume made him feel invincible, and in her mind, that was all it took to be invincible. A feeling.
To kill Takami, one would have to kill Pen. And there was only one way to do that.
In the same way Pendragon had killed Seline.
With words.
Pendragon looked down at Sion, and then at Takami. Both he had called father at one point. Only Sion was breathing now, and only just. A gushing wound on his chest, that should have been healed by the Dagger.
The Dagger...? Where was the Dagger?
Pendragon stole a glance of Suzume, out of the corner of his eye. He gave her a slight nod, and that was the end of the formalities.
Pendragon switched pistols for his blade, the name Celestial glowing brightly. Then he was gone, racing towards Lucifer.
Neither Sion or Takami walked away from that fight.
Pendragon did though, with Sion thrown over a shoulder.
Pendragon stopped running, and slid along the wet floor. His blade extended at arms length, waiting, waiting. Waiting until he was a foot away from Lucifer, and then he unleashed all that pent up power, sending his blade forward in a stab attack.
Pendragon couldn't choose who his father was.
He could choose his heroes though.

Lucifer smirked, just as Pendragon began to commense his attack his form lifted into the air, pulling upwards and backwards into safe grounds. His feet flipped above his head, he looked down towards Pendragon and then his feet were back beneath him where they were meant to be and he landed silently on the ground, "Are you exactly sure you want to go through with this path? You can't win and well... even if you do- it won't matter." His voice nonchalant and calm as if he was amidst casual conversation rather than a battle. His black, stringy hair settled on his shoulders as he looked towards Pendragon, Suzume only watched out of the corner of his eye. "I'm waiting." His voice was sent to Suzume, sounding impatient and sarcastic.
Suzume clenched her fists around her weapons and flames erupted into existance around her hands, her feet tapping against the floor rapidly as she initiated her run. Her body pulled low to the ground and her hair streamed out behind her like a trail of blood and she dissapeared for a moment, before reappearing behind Lucifer with her attack already begun.
Lucifer dipped to the right as the blade of the Ame sliced through the air inches from his body, his arms clasping each other behind his back, giving him an effortless feel about him, his expression a calm smile, eyes even closed as he dodged Suzume's attack so easily, left foot sweeping accross the floor in a grand movement. It was somewhat irritating to see him 'dancing' his way out from the path of the attacks, Lucifer was obviously enjoying himself. From his lips came a stream of words but they stopped through the air as they met Suzume's ears.
The battle between Ouwashi and Tsubame ensued, the two seemed evenly matched to be honest- except one thing. Tsubame didn't actually seem to be trying. She never really did, normally she kept a policy of not getting too involved and she crossed that railroad track long ago.
Suzume smirked, "Finally..." she whispered in response as she looked towards Pendragon with a vile expression on her face, her three tails fell limp as she began walking towards him. Something wasn't right.
Another pair of eyes watched from the liquid black surrounding the people, whoever it was had gone unseen for all this time and it's eyes dimmed somewhat as if it were in danger of going unconcious, but it either chose to stay withing the darkness or was forced to stay- whatever it was it didn't matter really. There were many forms of Suzume in here, this was just another who seemed interested in the battle but not quite fond enough of fighting to join in, or of course... there were other possibilities.
Ouwashi pulled away from Takami, obviously the same principals were at work with him as well- might come in handy. Then again there were issues with the fact that when this was all over, he'd have to be killed either way. Such a concept made her smile. Happy thoughts were wonderful things. She backed away from Takami, her feet seemed to be placed with meaning and she slid her right foot accross the ground so as to let it catch up with her left for a moment, her smile resumed on her face and the breeze which swept from the large canyon known as the Dry Ocean made her dark gray hair rippled about her, dark thunderclouds rolled in on the horizon and her almost black eyes glinted maliciously.

After Seline died, everything was a mess. Shattered visions of his father, of Pendragon's own child hood. For an hour, for a year? Pen couldn't tell.. He wasn't even sure if he was Pendragon anymore, and not just some detached entity.
Pendragon moved from one form to another, circling his blade higher and gripping it with both hands now, he brought it down with an elegant strike towards the place Lucifer's neck met his shoulders. "You keep telling yourself that" He said, not about to give up.
Pendragon was also being careful to keep an eye on Suzume, whatever Lucifer had said had done something to her.
Overtime, Pendragon pretty much shut down. He could do nothing, except watch the strange forms of his father fight timeless battles over and over.
Takami sheathed his sword, what was the point in a fight neither could win? He merely waited to see what she would do.
Until one day, when he opened his eyes to a murky sky, a sandy beach, and a woman named Sa.

Lucifer's form dipped down with the speed of a synapse firing in the brain, giving him just enough clearance to pull away from the blade of Pendragon's katana and he stood there, looking at the silver haired boy who challenged him. There was no real challenge in the fight in reality and he suppressed the need to say something, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't be appreciated by the people who actually should be thought about in the matter of all that was going on. No, he wasn't staying quiet for Suzume's sake, or Pendragon's, of Tsubame, or Ouwashi, or anyone who it might have been thought of at the moment since he really didn't give a care about them- he kept from saying something because well... his son was already in deep shit and whatever appropriate thing that could be said at the moment would worsen things- perhaps killing his son. Even though he was no longer a suitable heir, it was still a fairly bad idea to be directly responsible for the death of your own flesh and blood, your kid.
Suzume continued walking towards Pendragon, she said nothing but one thing could be noticed- she still had the same bright turquoise eyes. It was Suzume, no doubt about it. It wasn't Ouwashi, or Tsubame, or some other foreign mind, pure Suzume with all her spirit as it was represented in her mind. "Why do you bother?" she asked Pendragon, despite her facial expression, her words came out lightly and calm, her gaze moved to Pendragon's eyes and it's intense color seemed to threaten to swallow him up, forbidden flames flickered in thier depths.
Tsubame didn't pay any attention to what was going on as she continued her fight with Ouwashi that was certainly less complicated then the others, it was all simply, attack, parry, hack, slash, ect. Growls roared around everyone and the fur along her spine on edge, and her tail thrashed angrily.
Ouwashi was eerily calm the entire while, she seemed to float around her opponent, her long gray hair lifted slightly as if she was swimming all the while, her black eyes taunting her opponent. "You won't winnnnn, you ssseeee that don't you?" she asked, her teeth were all jagged and sharp, as if they had all been filed, there were even three rows of the teeth to add on top of that. Her skin was almost a pale gray, making her look sickly, black water pooled in her palm as she dipped around another attack from the dragon.
Ouwashi raised an eyebrow, "Had enough?" she asked, she of course still wished to fight, her pulse already rushing, veins being torn apart even and the liquid continued to drip from her fingertips. Obviously something was wrong but Ouwashi didn't care. Lighting surged through large thunderheads in the sky, casting flashes upon everything that cast odd shadows upon Ouwashi's face.
(When are the students going to show up? You still have to choose when)

((Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I gave you the okay awhile back? Either way, bring 'em all in.))
It looked futile, Lucifer was stronger, and faster than Pen. He wouldn't give up though, giving up was not something Pendragon did. He just had to approach this from a different angle.
"This isn't a battle either of us can win." Takami said simply. "Not from here anyway." His eyes flickered elsewhere. "Besides, the students are coming."
As for Suzume, Pendragon watched her closely. Everything seemed alright, nothing sent alarm bells ringing. Her eyes were still turquoise.
Then she opened her mouth, and all the changed.
Pen's expression softened, a sign of weakness. Something was wrong with Suzume. Again.
"What did you do to her?" He asked, grabbing Suzume, and pulling her closer. Not in a hug, but as a hostage. Her back was to Pen, and she faced Lucifer. Pendragon slipped his blade up to her neck. "What did you do to her!?" He asked Lucifer again, only louder. Perhaps Suzume didn't mean much to Lucifer, but without her he would never be able to open gate supression nine.

"Nothing, I did absolutely nothing. This is her mind and she may do what she wishes." Lucifer said as he crossed his arms over his chest, standing there, perfectly relaxed. Suzume was preffered to open the portal to Gate Suppression Nine- but his son could do it as well, but letting a fool like him have such a responsibility wasn't wise. Still, there was an alternate solution to Suzume being the one to usher in Armegeddon.
"He's right, and perhaps have you ever thought that you were the one who's causing all the problems? Ouwashi would have never come here if you hadn't threatened your life- she wouldn't have found the portal." Suzume's pulse didn't change, even though she was heald hostage. She just stood there, not resisting, and not looking about her, she almost seemed... blank. She looked like the same Suzume, she fealt like Suzume, she even gave off the same aura, but her fight, she seemed to have given up... and she turned on those around her, she turned on Pendragon. "It's your fault that all this is happening! Your damn fault!" she seethed, her voice picking up in anger, though eerily enough, her facial expression stayed the same.Akira smirked from a ways away, accross the canyon. There they were and a group of students and even teachers from Twilight Moon Academy were with her. She muttered something under her breath and a figure stood next to her. He was tall and his hair was blood red, his dark brown eyes looked at the two on the other side of the canyon calmly, "Akira... are you ready?" he asked. His voice resonated authority and a level headed calmness, he had obviously fought before. Of course he had though, he was Makashi, he was a god.(BOARD OPEN TO EVERYONE! JOIN! NOW!)

A short figure stood directly behind Akira, short dark hair and a long bushy black wolfs tail trailing behind her, her amber colored eyes filled with worry. Alina Nyaid, Lycan Geomancer, first year student, and completely confused on what the hell was going on. She had been pulled out of the school months ago, seriously ill, she had returned not a few days to all of this... chaos. Something was going on with Suzume, this Akira person was supposed to help or something... gods she needed to stop being ill. She looked up at Akira, she looked so much like Suzume... yet so different at the same time. Oh what the hell was going on she asked herself agian.
"Akira... what are we doing here?"

"Ah! The main attraction has arrived! And grandfather? You as well?" Ouwashi (formerly Suzume) said as she looked at Akira then towards Makashi. She then looked towards Alina, her former roommate, a smile on her lips and her face contorted and changed, her dark red hair was no longer the lively dark red as it was 'afore, not it was gray, trailing down in ripples to her lower back, her proportions seemed off in some odd way.
"We're here to stop Armegeddon... I guess." Akira said, looking behind her at Alina and then her gaze fell upon the other people who followed. Her turquoise gaze was ready to fight, it always was. "the hard part won't be the battle though... you need to make sure that neither of them die, as well as yourselves. They aren't truly evil at heart. Keep that in mind." she said as she gripped her hands, a fountain of light appeared in her hands, left heald a dark red scicle like weapon and her right heald a light blue weapon of similar make. The Ketsuiki and the Ame.
Makashi pulled a katana out of the sheath which lay strapped to his back, the Kitsuryu Isei. The handle carried the inscription of a dragon, holding a turquoise orb in it's grip- the turquoise mirrored the color of Akira's eyes perfectly and kanji danced accross it's blade. "What are your orders Miss Akira?" he asked with a serious look on his face though when he looked towards Akira there was affection in his gaze. It had been forever since the two had seen each other, and now, already they would fight together.
(Red parts are in real life. Blue is memories. and purple is in Suzume's head)

"We're here to find things, which have been lost." Came a wise voice, with an aura of kindness behind it. This tall man was also a god, anyone could tell by the slight electric blue glow he had to him. He was slim, wore black clothes, and had not been there a minute ago. He looked... familiar, and yet had never met any of the students before. His hair was long and blonde, and a sword hung at his hip. There was also another sheath below his knee, but it was empty.
Pendragon pushed Suzume to one side, she was no leverage. "I came here for you! I'm dying because of you! I'm dying for you, damn it!" He yelled at her. "This isn't my fault, it's his." He pointed at Lucifer. "Pull it together." He resisted to urge to shake some sense into her. The golden glow around him dimmed slightly, ever so slightly.

"Stopping Armegeddon, l finding things that are lost, yeah, thats part of my daily agenda anyway, I can handle this..." said Alina, anxieity dripping from her voice. She reached to her belt, removing her steel fans, fanning out the shining metal before her. "Well, I'm ready to save the world." she said turning to the other behind her. "I don't know about the rest of you, but let get out there and save our friends!" she yelled out at them, building her own courage up.

"All I've ever done was harm others, or watched them die... and now you'll be like all the rest. It's the way things have to be, besides... I let this all happen. I let you get in the way of how things were going to turn out." she said, her gaze slowly lowered to the ground and her eyes were wide open, almost as if she were staring down into a dark abyss... and in the mind- things may become as we picture them all too quick.
The figure that observed silently from the murky blackness wriggled about slightly, though not too much, and certainly not enough to bring attention to it- besides, it was nearly impossible to noticed, and the only person who would have gained anything from noticing it had his back turned. The figure was then pulled away, completely out of range for sight in the dark waters.
Ouwashi looked towards the Ketsuiki and the Ame, a long scythe appeared in her hand, formed by water droplets and now stronger than any metal, magic or non- even adamantium. She twirled the weapon in her grip "Are you ready?" she asked Takami, honestly she didn't care much but... well... nevermind. (seriously, that was my train of thought... weird, I know)
Akira looked at the others, "Makashi, how about you and me can handle Suzume- you guys can handle the other guy..." she wasn't sure who this other person was, certainly not the Pendragons he had contacted after he had run into Suzume for the first time. He was... off, to put things one way.
Makashi nodded, a smirk on his face, "Your lead." He said in response. He and Akira had fought many opponents many times before, such things came naturally to the two now. Then again.. last time the two of them fought together, he messed up and died, which wasn't the best thing in the world. But he was here now, resurrected thanks to an old friend and he was also ready to start a new battle that had been in the making since Akira dissapeared nearly a thousand years ago.

"That, other person, would be Takami." The new guy said. "Though, perhaps not as I knew him."
Takami looked at the odd group. "He's here..." He said quietly, locking eyes with the newcomer.
Pendragon shook his head, already regretting his harsh words. He stepped closer to her. "I'm not going anywhere." He said clearly. "Don't forget, the Dagger is the key."
The Dagger sat near the edge of the cliff.
Glowing electric blue.
The blue-aura-ed god drew his sword, holding it tightly in one hand.
It had Celestial engraved on it's side.

Makashi looked towards the newcomer, "And who might you be?" He had a guess on what the person's name was but well... he'd been quite dead for quite some time and also kicked out of the realm of the gods, so he wasn't able to be kept up to date on these sorts of things. He could only guess how things were going to go... and he wasn't able to remember much about the other gods either- which of course brought on a major thought along the realm of 'dammit!' some of the gods enjoyed messing with him because of his fallen status, such toying resulted in the loss of many of his memories. He wasn't truly a god, though much of his power remained- all the things that would define him as a god were stripped from him.
Akira looked at the newcomer as well, slight intrest in her gaze. She didn't care about making people like her so much right now, she wasn't planning to fight with anyone but Makashi and she wasn't planning on fighting against anyone but Takami and Ouwashi so nothing really mattered at this moment, atleast not to her. There were other aspects to take consideration of but she didn't bother, not being one to take the time to worry about 'minor aspects.'
watched, an eyebrow raised and his mouth a thin line of a smile, his black hair hung down in his face, strands pulled back by magic and then tied together into a ponytail his eyes like sulphur in hue as he looked at the two.
Suzume kept her gaze locked on the surface of the floor, "How do I know that you're not going to dissapear?" she asked, her voice clear, and hollow as she spoke though the let herself settle into Pendragon though she didn't look up at Pendragon, it truly seemed as if there was some odd object on the floor that was absorbing her spirit and being, but that was nonsnense. Her large, dark red fox ears flicked slightly, brushing Pendragon's hair lightly, she kept her tails hidden, "What'll make you different from all the others that have gone and left me?" none of Suzume seemed to come from her words. Suzume's lower lip trembled only slightly as if she were on the verge of tears, about to cry, the pink flesh like pink rose petals and her turquoise eyes troubled.
A muffled scream seemed to resonate in the water and ripples passed though the watery surface of the walls and the form from before began thrashing angrily in it's watery prison, though it was soon silenced by some spear of hardened liquid that seeped into it's flesh along it's back like the blade of a sword, it continued to attempt whatever it had tried earlier and more spears show at it, till whatever it had a back crossed with the strange darkness and it struggled to remain conscious. Since Ouwashi seemed determined to keep it captured there were two possibilities.
1. It was a being whom would assist Pendragon, Suzume, and Tsubame.
2. It was a threat even to Ouwasshi so it had to be controlled and would also be a threat to Pendragon, Suzume, and Tsubame.
