Supernatural/Crime Thriller RP

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I grin at the little girl.
We both have similar powers, yours faze me. But no, would you like to explain to me? I telepath back to her, with a sneer.
"Now, Tell me." I say bluntly.

[Ms. Cleo]

A blinding flash of red light materialized in the middle of the pitch-black room, and there stood Empusa, with a fiery aura burning around her.

"Do you mean to tell me that you have already forgotten about your hand in all this?" A disembodied voice asked which echoed throughout the room; Empusa's mouth didn't move as the words were said. "Centuries ago, you collaborated with HIM, misusing your Death abilities. When you were caught, you were dethroned as the Grim Reaper, but with the help of HIM, you were able to retain your powers, even go so far as to go with HIM to find the Sacred Parchments that increased your powers to my level. I was there, I assisted you.

"The only difference was that HIM chose to harness his newfound abilities for pure evil. So we are both responsible for the coming Apocalypse. Do you not remember?"

[Delacroix(Rei)]

The room turns grey and all time stops.
I levitate and my robe turns into black flame, encompassing me.
"You do NOT put the blame on me! You don't know the full story!" I yell, my voice instead of being my own is a collection of the many people I reaped.
"And your powers are only equal to mine! Not the other way around!" I say now my eyes emanating a black flame as well.
"Do YOU understand?!" I say, now my anger apparent.

[Ms. Cleo]

The black and red flames dance with each other, the light from the fires giving the room an ironically bone-chilling, dim ambience.

"Then what is the full story?" Asked Empusa, smirking scornfully.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

All my nails become yellow whips again and they dangle below me.
"I...I...was in leige with him...not because I worshipped him.." I trail off.
"Then why...?" Empusa asks.
"It's because I loved him..." I say, the flames becoming blacker and more dangerous looking.

[Scorpio]

Partially wondering how to get that blade off Darius. But this is a shock.

"Kammie, is this true?"

The badge is shaking again, if only I knew what to do with it.

[Ms. Cleo]

"And do not forget--my father was there. He desperately tried to stop the both of you and tried to protect the parchments at all costs. You did not recognize him days ago because at the time he was of a smaller build, was bald, and was going by the name of Kassac. When the two of you saw that I was with him, you took me and threatened to reap my soul to forever burn in the fires of Hell if he did not comply.

"And always letting his feelings get in the way, my father allowed you to steal the incantations, unaware that you had promised me beforehand a share in the Parchments if I collaborated. And because of that, we have all been forever cursed."

The room burned more unbearably hotter by the second as the flames thickened.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I start to chuckle slightly, slowly becoming more and more into a hearty cackle.
"You're correct...." I say with a grin.
"I know the concequences of my actions." I say, now my fire growing thicker.

[Ms. Cleo]

Unlike the mood-swinging Kammie, Empusa never even moved an inch throughout the entire conversation.

"Now the only question is where your loyalties lie." Her voice echoed as the energy around her crackled with extreme instability, the energies growing more destructive by the second and the sound of a thunderstorm emanating from Empusa's fiery-electrical aura getting so loud that she had to yell to be heard.

"WILL YOU RETURN TO YOUR OLD WAYS AND FORGE A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR LOVER FROM LONG PAST AND ALLOW ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT TO BE UTTERLY ANNIHILATED? OR..."

Gradually, the room returned back to normal with both the female's powers cancelling one another out until all was calm again.

"...Will you redeem yourself and fight to save existence?"

OOC: This'd make one helluva movie.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

OOC: Yes it would, It would also require alot of bank for that scene too. XD
I sneer and drift back to the ground, my robe disspearing and forming into casual clothing.
"I have too much pride to go back with older lovers...I have no choice but to save the world..." I say, following with a sneer.

[Ms. Cleo]

OOC: XD

"Then with haste, I urge you to find my father before it is too late."

Empusa mentally forced the Kris out of Darius' hands and levitated it in front of Kammie.

"You must take this weapon. For some reason, you are the only one who can harness it's powers as well as my father can. When you hold it, concentrate on finding out what happened to Lamayan when you found him unconcious in the library. You will see his attackers, and where they went. They have never left the castle."

[Rakk]

Ry'ach stood in his human form by the side of the road, the cool desert evening air washing over him. Storm clouds gathering on the horizon. He took a second to feel these clouds.

Damnit... Great Old Ones

Ry'ach felt it out a little more...

No, not one coming forth, there would be much, much more power, this is definitely acolyte activity. Maybe one is giving their orders out... why do they have to do this when the divine as coming.

The convoy of divines showed up on the horizon. Two sedans and some generic looking SUV, all colored a deep black and polished to almost a mirror sheen, the windows all held a limo tint, even the drivers window.

The Divines are so cliched...

Ry'ach started the music he had set up. He was particularly proud of his music selection this time. It would create, he felt, the perfect displaced feeling, something that would seem totally out of place.

The music started out with Louis Armstrong's 'What a wonderful world'

The Cars edged ever closer, slowing a bit seeing the man dressed in his fine suit standing next to the highway near a a car wreck. The wrecked car was of course there on purpose, Ry'ach moved it there.

Peering through the tinted glass with great difficulty Ry'ach could see confused looks at the music wondering where it came from and why it was playing.

The convoy makes its way to within striking range. The soft tunes were still going strong as Ry'ach released the growing tension in his powerful demonic legs. Slamming into teh lead car flipping it on its hood and collapsing most of the car with a sickening crunch and squish. Moving into a partial demonic form, he was no where near his full demonic form, extending his sharp scythe like wings he flew through the next car slicing off the roof and mortally wounding several angels as the car slammed into the crushed and flipped over lead car killing several hearty angels that survived the wreck and were barely clawing their way out of the mess.

The car slammed on its breaks swerving to avoid Ry'ach as he moved into full demonic form.

Landing a good 300 yards away from where the car plowed into the desert ground, Ry'ach decided to play around with the remaining four or so angels.

Ah yes, all bearing Metatron's signature marking on their greave... excellent my old friend is going to be coming to my house. This is wonderful, I do hope he has time to drop by for some tea.

A few angels stumbled out of the car on the desert floor. Ry'ach made his slow advance towards them letting the full impact of his twisted form present itself upon them. He could even see the most senior of the Angels recoil slightly in fear.

"Come now angels, my twisted visage is not that bad. It is only th eleft over scars of my former masters. Masters who like you wish to imprison the human rac into slavery. I'm sure we can talk this out, we are reasonable are we not. I just needed your attention with this. Do you like the music?"

The most senior of the angels was wearing a business suit,"Nay demon. We know your kind and will not fall prey to your tactics. We have come here to purge a great blight on the earth. All we ask is you go peacefully, our masters has commanded it." With that the angel tore off part of his suit revealing a suit of armor waxed to a mirror sheen just like the car.

always the anal retentive one with an obsession with shiney objects...

"Then you have made you choice, I shall now use you as what you are designed to be, mere play things of eternity." Ry'ach said spreading his wings and taking flight.

The most senior Angel moved forward bravely summoning an angelic spear many feet long with two sharp points at the end.

And always needing make up for something...

He threw it in the air as Ry'ach flung his twisted form towards them. Piercing the angels armor in a blaze of speed creating a large crack of thunder. The spear pierced Ry'achs shoulder and sizzled as it cooked his demonic flesh in its holy aura.

The Senior Angel shuddered and fell to the ground gasping for air as his armor was defiled with his blood.

The three other Angels started to shirk away two holding their ground a bit farther back and the newest running away towards the city wishing he had never joined ranks with the divines.

Ry'ach grapped the spear and pulled it from his shoulder, releasing himself from a holy agony of one of Metatrons personal play things.

That twisted bastard will pay for giving pawns such a powerful weapon. This could have killed me if it was used right...

"You two can tell you master to come here himself and meet with me, I will provide him with one guaranteed safe meeting as long as he does not try anything I will allow him to come and go safely. If you refuse to carry this message, I will kill you where you stand right now."

The two angels opened and closed their respective mouths confused over this.

"All I need is a simple yes or no," Holding the spear in his hand Ry'ach decided he could take no more of its agony throwing it at the fleeing angel catching him on the leg bringing him to the ground, "And tell him to stop sending pawns to deal with me, especially when he gives them toys meant for those who can actually handle them. I am also taking him prisoner." Ry'ach pointed towards the poor angel on the ground many feet away.

The two angels still stood there giving the smallest of nods. Ry'ach moved back to his human form. as he walked towards the downed angel held to the earth by the spear.

"I bid you all a most joyous farewell, and I eagerly await your masters arrival." Ry'ach turned off the music and left.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

I take the sword, bolts of electricity course through my right arm and the veins in my arm glow.
"O...oh..." I shudder as the power envelopes me and my eyes shimmer white light.
"Divine prestigitation...?" I ask her as I see only energy and morality.

[Ms. Cleo]

OOC: Rakk. Holy. Shit.

"Then perhaps they have already left."

"Not so much the all-knowing entity you make yourself out to be, are you?" Comes a voice from the doorway.

They all turn around to see Lamayan, dressed in a dark grey cloak with the hood down, the blackened, demonic markings on his face still present.

[Delacroix(Rei)]

"Silence." I say and I fling a book at him telepathically.
It hits him in chest.
"Anyway, I onlt see Energy and the morality of others, but it's all in a humaniod form..." I say looking around, then outside.
"I see...a very...powerful demonic presence, I should investigate it." I say, looking outside, the rain pouring heavily now.

[Ms. Cleo]

OOC: I would think you would be surpised to see Lamayan, cause he would be the source to finding HIM?

She sees two spectres wading in the snow.

[Scorpio]

Christ, this is too much.

I pull the badge from my pocket, time seems to stop for everyone but me, although it looks like a low level freeze, I can't influence anything, just take a rest.

"Damn, I can't handle this kind of task."

Sure you can, you've handled it before, just don't remember.

"How can I know if those even compared to this?"

You just have to have faith.

"Faith? Kammie just went supernova, Polo is missing, Justin is a trigger happy psycho and I don't even want to think about Darius."

....

"The only person I trust right now is me."

Isn't that enough?

I put the badge back into my pocket, time starts moving again.

"Lamayan? Where is HIM?"

[Ms. Cleo]

"What makes you think I would just out and out tell you his whereabouts? Has that ever worked?"

[Scorpio]

"I may not remember much about myself. But I know everything, even information has a price."

I step up to Lamayan.

"Name yours."

[Ms. Cleo]

"I will not betray my master." Lamayan barks firmly as he mentally erects an impenetrable energy field prevents Jake from getting closer.

"Father! You must stop all this!"

[Scorpio]

I test the field with a few light taps. Not getting through.

"Maybe HIM would like to talk to me. Meet the guy who wants to take HIM down."

[Ms. Cleo]

"You must be joking!" Lamayan said while stifiling a chuckle. "He could disassemble each and every one of your body particles just like that."

"Yes, but is it not true that you possess great abilities as well?" Empusa interupted.

"It is not polite to disrupt your father when he speaking, Empusa."
"You are not my father. He was a good man."
"With a wicked, back-stabbing daughter who betrayed him after risking his life and sacrificing the safety of the world for her. No---I have no daughter."

The disownment was a significant emotional blow to Empusa, who seemed invincible towards anything. But to the amazement of those present, Empusa held her mouth agape.

[Khallos]

Chezzy would be sitting in a corner, ignoring the rest of them and flicking through what looked like a gigantic office planner, tutting. "This isn't right. This isn't right at all. CH-A-7 isn't scheduled for another 354 cycles yet..." He turned a page. "Oh. Although AL-34 is next week. Will have to remember that." HE sniffed some, and then looked up to give a mrowl of protest. "You lot are working ahead of schedule!"

[Scorpio]

Hurting a kid like that. This guy is sick.

"If he's so powerful. Why doesn't he come himself? Why does he hide behind his tricks?"

This guy is really getting me angry.

"Who is HIM!"

I feel a cold grip against my heart, I drop to my knees gasping. I hear a voice in my head among thousands of agonised screams.

"That is who I am."

[Ms. Cleo]

OOC: Damn that's a good one, I can actually see that.

Jake is released from his suffering, and the screams now encompass the entire room.

It would be wise for you all to stay out of my way.

The demonic, baritone voice rocks the very foundation of the house and the countless turmoiled screams pierce the ears of those present.

"Father!" Empusa trys to yell amidst the screams, her tiny voice almost drowned out. "You must not let him control you! Your abilities are much stronger than his, that is why he is--"

Empusa's tiny body is launched through the window by an unseen force, disappearing into the black night. Her helpless scream fades away as she grows distant.

[Scorpio]

ooc: Yeah, sorry for controlling HIM. But I had to use the line.

ic:
"Christ."

We have to get the hell out, we can't fight this guy ourselves.

[Kan]

OOC: BTW that pendant it enhances a human mind's abilitys, so it would give a human with a regular mind slight mental powers, but one who was already in touch with a higher mind power, IE Precognition, would gain powers Telekinesis, telepathy (Not for a lil while in the RP though, cells repairing them selfs, IE fast healing, I had that planned out from the beginning, so tell me what you think.

IC: I stand there listening and watching what is transpiring, I am feeling the strongest demonic force I have ever felt.
I speak up, "We need to get the hell out now!" I try to scream above the voices, "Something real bad is about to happen!" I run out calling Darius, "Lets go you guys do not want to be here when it happens!" I scream to the others as I make it to the door, "Trust me!"

[Ty]

OOC: Not to be a stickler, but I thought Lamayan was blocking the doorway. Well, sorry about this...

IC:

Darius' vision would have become blurred as the room filled with fire. He shielded his head, ignoring the Kris being pulled from his hand. When his vision cleared, he saw Lamayan appear in the room.

Justin tried to run out the door, but Lamayan's barrier blocked his passage. Reacting quickly, Darius grabbed Justin and hoisted him up onto his shoulders, ran and jumped out the open window. Darius slowed their fall just before they reached the ground. He landed on his feet, then set Justin down again.

"Your assessment was correct, sir," he said. "I am too damaged to fight effectively at this time. We should flee this place, at least for the time being."

[Kan]

OOC: oh sry, didnt see that part.
IC:"No we need to wait for the others" I say to Darius As I look back to the window.

[Scorpio]

"Kammie, we need to go. Now!"

I pick up Kammie and spread my wings, she phases us through the ceiling and I fly towards the strip.

If HIM catches us all together, we're screwed, best split up.

"The Kris may be useful, but we're gonna need an army to take this guy on."

I hear sirens in the distance, end of the world hasn't even started and already people are panicking.

"I think I know where to get one."
