Gemini rode up alongside Lucifer and smiled menacingly at Lucirici."Greetings,demon-bitch.What do you say,shall we dance?" She asked,holding her katana up in a way that clearly indicated a challenge.

Stanton appeared then,facing Lucifer."I believe you were looking for me? Hello,Lucy,it's been a while.Wanna play?" He asked mockingly.

Lucifer looked at Stanton. "Traitor....betrayer.....oath-breaker......blood-curse.....Disgrace....."he kept muttering insult's. "You have been marked for death, by order of the Charred Council. You have dishonored the blood you share with your sister. "he said to him. "I shall make sure your death is slow, painful, and memorable...."he said. It was slightly worrying. With his self-control out of the way, it was entirely possible Lucifer would 'kill' Stanton.

"So this is what a once noble race has been degenerated too? "he asked, aloud. He then flew high in the air. "Fallen angel's of Lucirici! look at yourselves! Where has your self-respect gone?! You fell from hell, then all of you resolved to get stronger, but you took the cowards way out, and tainted your mind's with the power of Chaos magic!" he shouted at them. "If this is really what you've bee reduced too, then you deserve to fall! you were once a proud people, now your just a pathetic squallier! "he said. He was trying to get them angry, and make them see about what they were doing.

Avril shot Michael a warning glance. She was still one if them, Fallen. Betrayed. Cast down for no other reason than He could. "Michael... You have to know that as wrong as they are to have chosen this, I don't blame them for being spiteful. We were all cast down because of a few individuals' decisions. Most of us were loyal. Until we fell.." Avril's words drifted off as she finished the last part of her sentence. Gabriella was right, if Avril hadn't his on that island for so long, she probably would have turned into the same thing.

"Avril. What can they do for you? You were cast down, remember? They don't want you. Why would they care enough to invite you back NOW? They're just using you to get to us. Trust me." Gabriella's grimy grey wings twitched slightly as she spoke. The once, glorious white jewels had now become patchy gray masses, with clumps of feathers missing here and there. Such a contrast to Avril's raven black wings.

Avril looked between her brethren and Michael. Was Gabriella right? She had to be. But Gabriella was working for Luririci now. That bitch HAD to have done something to her to make her feel such hatred, right? Michael loved her and would never lie to her or hurt her... Right? She aches to think of the possibilities. And to have to choose between Michael and her brethren. Could she really do such a thing?

"I LOVE HER! "Michael shouted, for all of them to hear. "I don't care if she's a demon, a fallen, or an angel. I love Avril with everything that I am! I would see nothing but the greatest happiness for her! If she had joined you with Lucirici, I would be at her side now, fighting the people I call my friend's. "he said to Gabriella. "If you don't believe me, that is your problem. I will die for Avril, if need be. "He said, raising his spear.

Luc smiled "Oh no not we shall get to are show down but right know I have other people to kill other Gods to kill like Ashi." she vanished and Ashi appeared "We have a problem."

Michael's outburst shocked Avril. She'd never heard anyone be so blunt. Looking back at him, Avril's lip quivered but she put down hard in it to hide the obvious crack in her facade. Turning back to Gabriella, Avril's hand snaked down to her belt where a row of her throwing daggers were starched. Not that she's need them. "Why are you trying to turn me against them? You know that the side you're on now is wrong."

Gabriella made a sort of snarling noise from the depths of her throat. "Who is to say what's right and what's wrong? Maybe by following her we're song the right thing? While you, on the other hand, are working for the supposed 'evil' side. After all, casting down a bunch of innocent angels can't be GOOD, can it?" Gabriella's words were sarcastic and covers in venom. It was obvious that she turkey believed what she was saying. It wasn't just some kind if trick. "Look, Avril. We fell, that's it. Just stop living in a lie. Come be with those who truly love you." Now Gabriella's voice was a soothing coo. Enticing Avril and beckoning her nearer.

Gemini growled,getting ready to follow Lucirici,when Ashi appeared."What? What problem?" She asked worriedly.When Ashi was upset,there was reason to worry.

Stanton smirked."Now,now,Lucy,best stop before you say something that offends me." He mocked in the most sarcastic tone any living being could muster."Come,now.I've waited to fight you."

"Black-blood! you don't deserve the title of Fox Demon, you bring the race to a damn shame!" he shouted at him, charging at him. What Lucifer lacked in tact and Defense, he made up for his crazy strength and great offensive skills. "You shall die alone and afraid! Anyone that stands in our way will do the same!" He said. Slashing at him with the sword.

"Why not, instead of Avril joining you, you join me?" Michael said, looking at them. "I don't want to have to fight you. Be what you are now, you were once my family, brother and sister alike.....I never wanted to fight any of you. "he said. "My plan, for once I reached the rank of Archangel, was to slowly reach the top, and change the way thing's are.....I'v been nicknamed 'Angel of Change' by many, because I want to change the Natural order. I want to have the Fallen return to their position in heaven, and those that were wrongly punished, given compensation. "he said to them. You could easily tell he was being honest.

Instead of meeting Michael's eyes as he spoke, Fabriella stated straight at Avril. Her outward appearance seemed unamused and slightly annoyed. However, Gabriella was listining closely to Michael. She wanted desperately to trust him. To have hope again. Though she want sure she'd want to return to the Trones side. She felt too much spite. She had been so young when she was cast down. The Throne had no regard for that, though. "You're not one of us, micheal. You don't understand what it feels like to be exiled. Shunned. Cast aside like garbage." Gabriella's voice quavers at the end, though she choked it back in an attempt to hide it.

Avril sighed. "In a way, she's right, Michael. You've never felt the pain. I can understand why they would hide. Choosing the easy path" Avril added on the last part to provoke the group. Gabriella was young and easy to manipulate with the variable of pride. She wouldn't be able to refuse. Her ego wouldn't allow it.

"Easy? EASY!? You think that working with this botch is EASY!?" She scoffed. "She cruel, manipulative, and just plain insane. She only cares for herself. In fact, were not even here by will anymore. We wanted to leave a long time ago. She did something to us. We can't set foot outside her walls, or we burn. After a while we grew to accept it and began to follow her.

Avril looked up at Michael, "Holly water." She whispered. They had been cast out which would make them all unholy. Entering sacred ground would kill them. "But.." Avril furrowed her brow, daggers still poised and ready. Why hadn't she been killed? Something wasn't right... "Michael.. What if this is all a trap? Think about it, she has us all in one place now. Wouldn't it be easier to destroy us all at once?" She whispered.





((Sorry for the curveball, guys. It just felt like we needed a plot twist. What do you all think?))

"You remember that evillier person I was talking about?" Ashi grimaced "Oh my God! She trying to raise that? She's crazy no one can control him." Rena's jaw fell open.

Gemini's jaw dropped."Are you kidding me? Christ almighty! Okay,clearly I have to stop her.I suppose I'll be back." She said,and went to follow Lucirici.

Stanton smirked,but didn't answer.Lucifer had strength,true,and offense,but Stanton was fast and smart.He dodged easily,pulling out his sword.The blade was almost identical to Gemini's,except that it was red where hers was black.He didn't attack with it just yet.He dodged and parried instead,taking his time to strategize.

Lucifer smiled, though Stanton could not see this, He was actually playing the Dumb, Hot-headed Barbarian. He was trying to lower Stantons Guard, so he could strike him. His Acting was Flawless, so the chance of his ploy being seen through was little to none.

"If so, then god help us. "He said. He then looked at Gabriella. "I might be abled to Offer you safe Passage out of this hell, but I need you to Swear, by Styx (The River of Oaths) that you will not betray my trust, or Avril's "he said.

Rena sighed "You'll never find her Gemini we'll have to use mother as bait." she looked at Ashi who sighed "Oh all right. Hey luc you looken for me?" she yelled "Yes actually." a voice said making Ashi jump "You're covered in blue blood...oh no brother" she frowned "You'll never kill me I can't be killed." she hissed then used Gemini as a shield as the dragon come at her.

Avril looked up at Michael. "But even if they swear we're still unholy. We're trapped now."

Gabriella crossed her arms. "Even if it would change this all we will never swear to the Throne. How could we? Cast out, thrown Away. The only reason why Avril is wanted is because of her ignorance. Look at her, she'll do anything to get back in. But why? There's nothing there for you."

Tightening her grip on her dagger until her knuckles were white, Avril thought about the fall. How she had been betrayed. No one had cared. And they shouldn't. "I... I think I need to stay with them, Michael." She eyes the cluster of dingey wings and nodded once. "That is, only if you all fight for me. Ridding the world of this bitch will help all of us. Besides, it's about time I regain my power." With that, Avril flew above the group of Fallen. "No one understands what you're going through more than I. We shall fight As one. For our interests." A few of the Fallen nodded and grabbed their weapons. Others readied themselves for a fight. They would do this together, like before.

Michael fly up to you. "If they will only fight for a fallen, then why not have them fight with Azrael, the Angel of death?" he said. "he's the only one that hasn't been cast out of heaven, and is still speaking out against God's Atrocity's. Having him as a Allie would definitely help thing's "he said.

Gemini's jaw dropped."ASHI!! Meat shield is not okay!" She yelled,raising her sword.She didn't want to kill the dragon,just hurt it enough that it wouldn't hurt her."Where the hell is Jared's dragon?!" She yelled.

Stanton was completely fooled by Lucifer's act,but it wouldn't take long for him to figure it out.Even possessed by chaos magic,he wasn't stupid.But until he figured it out,he would dodge and parry.

Paarthurnax, The Elder dragon (aka Jared's dragon), landed Right by Gemini on cue. "Terribly sorry, my lady."he said, and looked at Sky. "Young Dragon! I am Paarthurnax, Your Elder. Look at yourself, Young Sky. I serve the Mishima family out of a Sense of Payment, for they have saved my life more then once. Would you always play the slave, to this Bitch's magic?" he asked the dragon, in a way he knew it would understand.

Lucifer took the Opportunity. When he looked ready to attack him, he actually feinted. He ducked down, and tripped Stanton. He then jumped on Stantons back, and repeatedly Rammed it on the ground. This would not only hurt (possibly break a few bone's, and fracture his skull. Possibly), but this would also Disorient him. He would then start dragging him away, towards a slab of rock.

"She saved me I owe her my life and she's the only one who hasn't tried to kill me." The dragon said "I'm Arania youngest of my clan and the only surviver."

"Poor thing." Rena said "You're all alone like me." she held out her hand "Its ok I'm a member of the dragons I had one of my own when I was young and I lost her."

"The bitch probably wiped out your clan, and only saved you so you'd feel indebted to her. "he said. "You have dragon blood in you, the strength of a Wyrm. Don't let your family's honor be stained by the blood soaked on this women's hand's. "he said. "If you do, you insult your clans very memory. "He said.

Avril nodded to Michael. Azrael would b excellent company for battle. "Michael? Won't you join us?" She asked quietly, for his ears only. She loved him but she felt like she was betraying him by being herself. She couldn't help what had happened to her, but she could change the course. Maybe for all the Fallen. If only she void change their minds.

"I said I loved you, and I meant it. I would fall for you, if It meant your happiness. I said I wanted to change the world, and with you, I truly believe I can "he said to her. He then held her face, and kissed her

"No I found her all alone." Luc said "I saved her unlike her own kind who just left her for a dud egg." Luc snarled at the bigger dragon "I care for her just as I care the demons are put where they belong."

"The kind of exposure your risking the demon's, is going to get them killed. Armies would rise up to destroy them, in hopes of returning the peace. "He said to her.. He then looked at the Baby dragon. "You deserve to be with your own kind. Not all dragon's are bad. Those like your clan were probably those that thought themselves as god's, taking the title that right belongs to Our god, Atmora. "he said.

((FOUL!! that was Auto-hitting,against the rules,and Wolfie will not allow it!))

Stanton fell for the feint,but managed to jump back just in time so that Lucifer only struck a glancing blow."Nice try,Lucy.So,you were playing dumb.Clever." He said,rushing forward with his sword raised.

Gemini squared off against Lucirici."Listen,you.You have hurt enough people.You care for this dragon about as much as you care for my brother,who you brainwashed against me.You'll get all of us killed if you are allowed to continue this way." She said,making sure the little dragon heard the part about brainwashing.

Lucifer swung his sword, countering Stantons attack. He then started displaying swordsmen now shown, revealing his Adept-level skills. "You are fighting a losing battle. Surrender now, and the Council might spare you "he said, his voice inhumane.
