::Kerion's eye widen before clenching in anger, his graps crushing the pens in the process:: I've been tricked! ::He finds himself pulled back up by Typhoon before he punshes the monster right the nose should be:: "Not this time!" ::He reaches to his eye patch to move it up, but quickly moves as the monster lashes out in pain, hoping to get him::

::Eva struggled a little bit harder trying to get out of Dante's grip though she is started to get a hold of her senses but not yet::
"Let me go...I won't let her harm my mate and sister anymore!"
::Tears could be seen coming down her eyes showing just how effected she was by that vision::
"I'll make her pay once and for all....that will be a promise...."

::Eva is hit from the front, but not by the dragon. Iole's reverted back to her girl form, using her wings to stay airborne. Oliver clings tightly to her back, startled by her unannounced change in size. Just as Dante has a hold on her from the back, Iole puts her arms around Eva's waist, crying into her shirt::
Eva please. I don't like you like this. We don't like you like this. It scares me. We all love you and we can't stand seeing you full of so much hate. I just want my sister back.

Dante tries his best to hold back... he was starting to feeling the trigger draining him by force... Oh god... come on... then his mother's necklace reacting to the pyreflies coming from the trigger and starts to glow a brightly white surrounding them... Wait, that's--
---------
Dante wakes up to be in some sort of dream world. He groans a bit, gets up, and starts to walk around. He was not on the crumbling research facility and he sees no one around... just a room filled up with thunderous reddish clouds... "Where... am I? I pulled the trigger and if fail... did I... no... I cannot have..."
As he starts to worry, something else overcomes his own. He sees Eva knocked out cold and runs to her... "Eva! Please wake up!" No response... "No... please. I wanted to tell you that I have such another personality as well. I... I just could not bring it up because... I am not sure on who I am anymore. These memories I had... they do not belong to me... but at the same time, I seen it all before... another life... argh! I just do not know! If I am really.... my other me... or something, I do not know if you would have accept me. I.. he... ugh, seems a bit arrogant and rush to a stupid decision but regardless of it all, deep down I still cared for you..." He pauses for a moment... then randomly chuckles. "You know, your other is no less different than mine..."
He moves a streak of her hair over her ear... "I shall ask again... if.. you do not accept... I... understand... as I do not want to repeat the past. Just knowing you and I love and care each other is enough... though I will be honest that you will make the happiest man alive... but... yes...". He readies himself. "Of course, you have to wake up first... so forgive me." He starts to do CPR... but as it seems to be the case, he perform his most passionate kiss...
--------
The light faded... revealing Dante embracing Eva, finally calmed down, with a passionate kiss while Iole stood back away from them... further revealing Dante floating not with Quezacolt but with his pair of angel wings as well, his right wing pure white but his left, where his trench coat has the angel wing design, is white but with edgings of gold metal blades.
Holy.......... angel of blades..... @.@
He gives his hand out of the two rings that used to rusted... but now shining silver with an angel wing opposite to one another.... "In an updated phrase... will you marry me...?"

::Eva looked up at Dante her wings going back to their usual color though the flames on the blade was still a dark red as she nodded::
"Yes I will....."
::She placed the ring on her finger as it glowed for a little bit as she looked at Dante with a smile on her face::
"Looks like you have your own wings to keep up with me after all...."
::She looked down towards Iole with a apologetic face::
"Sorry to have worried you...the both of you..."
::She quickly saw something flash from the corner of her eye's as she placed a protective arm around both Iole and Oliver and pushed herself away from Dante as Typhoon had blasted another ice beam towards them but neither noticed the second fire blast which connected with the ice beam which resulted in a explosion knocking Eva back but she was sure to keep Iole and Oliver protected::

::Typhon returns to the battle with a subdued Kerion and Nyx, clamped together in its dark hand. And on her perch, the King's Songbird is as gleeful as ever::
Echidna: How perfect to see such a joyous display! I'll enjoy all your faces when I take it away!
::Copying her movements, Typhon raises its fire arm, waving it in a half circle and creating an arc of flames that spreads for the group::
Echidna: The Angel's wrath subdued by her mate, but when love is gone what then stops your hate?

Dante stunned from the blast and start to nose-dive... his angel wings, for some reason, disappearing in a very odd way.... just went things were looking down. OHHHHHHHHHHH Ò_Ó you son of--
In an instant, Quezacolt is summoned and he nose-dives up to the same level, revealilng an angered Dante. YOU JUST KILLED THE MOMENT BETWEEN THEM! You're SO getting a good long beating now!!!
I agree, I must, yo! A memorable moment in his life, ho! so you're getting the double beatdown from me and master so hope you got a Pheonix Down-a!
He readies his blade. Ok, guys, let's get this over with when we can before we start cherishing! Crap... the trigger holding it back apparently... complicated thing. I really need to find the solution when this is all over...
He overhears Echinda. You still got the pissed off "other" here!! But I ain't going to kill you! I'm going to do the same thing you've been doing to the people you messed up, except physical!
Hang on, Kerion, Minx... was it Minx? Whatever, we'll get you off!

::Echidna sees Dante charging straight for her, and raises her ball and chain. She flings one end for his gut which he's fast enough to dodge, but with a jerk to the side it doubles back, wrapping itself around his neck. She pulls with enough force to slam him into Typhon's brick hard body. Iole changes shape back into the white dragon with black wings::
I'll get Nyx and Kerion. You get Dante.
::She flies in for the attack and clamps her jaws down on Typhon's wrist, trying to loosen its hold on her friends::

Dante starts to feel the slam of Typhoon's brick-hard body. He hears something upon his trigger... luckily, it was not cracking any further as it is now. Ugh, damn it! He tries to free himself from the chains on his neck. Quezacolt appears in front of Echinda.
Yo, you crazy b***h, that ain't fair! Balling up my master in mid-air! I'll give ya credits for ya rhythmic skills! But now it's time to show you my l33t whip-pa skillz!
The tips of the feather of both wings starts to form a sort of small whip and starts distracting her as Quezacolt whip-snaps obnoxious sparks of electricity while she covers herself...
Meanwhile, Dante is still struggling. Eva, babe, whenever you're ready to, you know, cut me out while Que-za is showing off like an idiot....

"Way ahead of you Dante..."
::Eva cut through the chain like it was butter as then she in turn unwrapped it from around his neck::
"Honestly...who's idea was it that he has to rap...."
::She then in turn turned her blades into gloves but it could be seen that there was air swirling around her fists as she had came up with an idea::
"You know what I decided she needs a electrifying experience...mind if I get a charge Quezacolt?"

::Combined with Iole's bite, Kerion assists in breaking him and Nyx free of Typhon's grasp, his eye patch flying off in the process, showing his transplanted eye:: "Now this thing is really getting on my bad side!" ::His eye flashes before he punches the creature back, not feeling that the creature has stone-like skin:: First gate opened...

Nnnnaaaawwwwwwww yeah! I like what you're thinking, girl!
Ya know you still got to explain the hell been happening, yo! Ifr-E still dead-brained, Levy hasn't told me what you've told him, and I'm been still fuzzy... Later, Que-za! Just give her the boost-up! A'right, a'right!
Get ready, mi-lady![/b]
Quezacolt's beak starts up charge up a ball of dark lighting and beings releasing arcs of thunder into Eva's glove, imbuing them with the element and ghostly talons. Better hurry before they fade, yo! I got you and... and yeah, Iole's back! I should really remember their names during triggerization... been away time and time again...[/i]
He goes fly the distance and performs Vortex, the one move when he first appeared, as he starts bashing Typhoon side to side to loosen the grip on Nyx and Kerion...

::Eva casted haste on herself as she targeted Echidna::
"I'm going to enjoy this...."
::She ducked under the incoming attack and dodged the chain as the weapon came back around and attacked her with a flurry of punches to knock her back and she soon did a kick under Echidna's chin making her dizzy from the blow as Eva closed her fist as the lightning engulfed her whole body for a moment::
"I'm not done yet....not by a long shot...."
::She sweeped her off her feet before catching her by the foot and jumped up into the air before slamming her down hard on Typhoon's hard exterior before focusing all of the energy that the glove had stored to her fist::
"Lights out....."
::She used that fist to punch Echidna very hard into her gut at the same time releasing all the electrical energy she had stored from the earlier boost::

(OOC:Alright, Loci's still not back, and he told me to take control of Oliver in the event of his absence.)
::Oliver finally manages to re-load the revolver thanks to the bullet clip he stole out of Dante's back pocket. Using his exceptional balance, he gets to his feet and leaps from Iole's back and onto Typhon's arm. He crawls along the creature until he reaches its shoulder. He takes aim with his gun, waiting for the right moment::
Oliver: Com'on ya big ugly scrap heap! Righ' over her' look this way!
::Typhon's head turns and it roars with fury, readying to strike Oliver off of it, but Oliver fires several rounds with insanely lucky accuracy into its eye. It roars and reels back, knocking Oliver off balance. Just as he loses his footing, sure to plummet to the raging waters below, a hand catches him::
Nyx: Got you.
::The white haired girl hoists him back onto the massive shoulder. Typhon's holy arm moves to heal the damage, but Iole catches it in her jaws, pressing down on it harder and harder until finally it snaps. The dragon rips the arm from its socket and casts it into the sea. Meanwhile Echidna feels the sting of Eva's attack, the electricity sending shockwaves all through her body, making her thrash and writhe in her grip. With the last of her will, she reaches and touches Eva's wrist. One vision is all she has time to send; The King in Yellow leering down at her with his glowing topaz eyes and sniffing her with the rotted muzzle that pokes out of his hood. But it's enough for Eva to release her, and she's not fast enough to stop Echidna from falling::
Eva, stay here and stop Typhon from following me. I'm going to do it this time.
::Before Eva can say anything, Iole dives after Echidna as the now defenseless woman plummets to the unforgiving currents that are churning beneath her::
Come on, come on.
::She changes back to her girl form, keeping her wings out and straightening her body to fall head first, praying to every force of good she knows of that she'll be fast enough to catch her::

(OOC: Sorry about the really long double post, but I really wanted this to coincide with what just happened on the Variola. Man, flashbacks are long!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuofG8a7EEk&feature=related::Iole dives toward the water like a white missile, cathing Echidna by the hand just a few yards above the water. But in this form, she's not strong enough to fly both of them. They fall closer to the water, and once they hit the waves, Echidna awakens and starts to struggle. Acting quickly, Iole lets them both drop into the freezing water and places both hands on the sides of Echidna's head. There will be no turning back this time. Echidna's grip slackens and Iole closes her eyes as they both sink below the surface:: ::Iole finds herself racing through that same twisted maze as before as the angles and thoughts of Rena’s mind all jumble together and intertwine, blurring the line between fantasy and reality:: Rena: Get out! Get out! I don’t want it!Not this time. You’re not pushing me out this time.::Same memories as before, the burning village, the scaled arms, the underground laboratory. Further back, she has to go further back. In a flash of white, the start of it comes into focus:: ::The uniformed men scurry about the lab, desperate to destroy anything incriminating before the Estharian soldiers make it there::
Man 1: Doc, what do you want us to do with the girl?
::The gray haired man in the white coat adjusts his glasses and speaks in his cold detached manner::
Doc: Laguna has already recovered his daughter. And she was finally starting to respond. This girl has shown almost no results. How infuriating. But if we take her and regroup later, we’ll at least be able to salvage some of our work.
::The door at the end of the long corridor that leads to the lab trembles as the soldiers’ battering ram slams against it::
Doc: Damn, they’re here already. ::He hits a button on the table, releasing little Rena, now nine, from her restraints. He grabs her roughly by the arm, and her struggles are useless against him:: I’ll take the back. Cover my escape, but don’t resist arrest. They can’t prove anything.
::He starts to lead Rena out the back way where all those horrible tools are stored. Buzz saws and drills and needles, they’re what hold her attention as he leads her out of this prison only to find another one for her. All those tools look like monsters to her, with fangs and claws and frightening roars. She wishes they were monsters, and that they’d show this man what it feels like to have all this done to you. Out of the corner of her eye, one of the drills twitches. She focuses, seeing what she wants to happen unfold like a morbid little girlish fantasy. Another tool twitches, and another, and another until they’re all rattling along the wall::
Doc: What is this? … Could you be…?
::But Rena’s eyes are downcast with her auburn hair falling into them; cold and silent. Slowly, the tools start to lift out of their holsters::
Doc: No… no you can’t! Wait! Stop!
::His pleas fall on deaf ears. The tools fly from their places, and to his horror, each one has grown feral eyes, and their implements have become their fangs. His screams fill the corridor for a short instant before his blood covers the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling. Then Rena stands alone in the hall with a hundred bloodstained tools lying where they clattered to the floor::
::Three years later, no longer in Esthar Rena has been reunited with her family. But after her return they had noticed a change in her. They decided to leave the city and live somewhere more rural. This quiet country side village had been her home all this time. But still she had not returned to that bright and happy girl they knew her as. Instead she had remained withdrawn, singing to herself and speaking to no one, drawing strange imaginary creatures in every page of whatever notebook she could find. Whenever she needed something from her parents, she’d simply show them with that strange power she had acquired during her captivity. Rena sits on the back porch singing to herself while her parents discuss the matter inside, able to hear her through the screen door::
Rena: The wren, the wren, the king of all birds, On St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze, Up with the kettle and down with the pan, Give us some gil to bury the wren.
Mother: Are you sure this is a good idea? You know how she reacts to strangers.
Father: I don’t know what else to try. It’s been three years. I just want my daughter back.
::There’s a knock at the door, and her mother admits the visitor inside::
Mother: Yes, come in. Thank you so much for coming. Rena, sweetie, I want you to meet someone.
::Rena sighs and comes back inside. When she sees the visitor, she freezes::
Mother: Rena, this is Doctor Richards. He’s here to help you.
Father: Thanks for coming Doc.
Doctor: Hello Rena. It’s nice to meet you.
::Doc? A man in a white coat? No it couldn’t be. She panics and takes both her mother and father by the arm. She hadn’t meant to scare them. She had just tried to show them. But every memory of that sordid past flies through her parents minds at an alarming rate. In minutes, her parents lie dead on the floor; her mother impaled through the chest with the fire poker her father had snatched up, and her father bludgeoned in the head with one of her mother’s favorite candlesticks. Doctor Richards stands frozen in horror. This is all his fault. He has to pay!::
Doctor: Rena no! NOOOOO!
::The sun sets in the sky, turning the clouds as bright and violent as the villagers’ torches as they assemble with their pitchforks to break down her front door. Two men drag the twelve year old girl out screaming::
Villagers: There’s the witch! The one who killed her family and the doctor! Stone her! Kill her!
::There’s nothing she can do. Fear is making her act on instinct. She pulls her hand free and places it on her captor. The man screams and leaps into the crowd like a rabid dog, swinging his pitchfork in madness at anyone who comes near. Three men try to rush Rena, but the girl bares her teeth and snarls like a cornered wolf. Not ten minutes later, the entire village is in flames, and its streets littered with the corpses of its residents. One survivor staggers through the flames of the town. Rena’s sleeves have torn revealing what grew there as a result of her actions tonight; shimmering reptilian scales. She presses forward and looks to the sky, singing with her new forked tongue::
Rena: The wren, the wren, the king of all birds, On St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze, Up with the kettle and down with the pan, Give us some gil to bury the wren.

"Iole! Shoot..."
::Eva turned her attention to Typhoon who was aiming a blast towards Iole's direction to get her off before Eva flew in front of it::
"Not today...."
::Typhoon fired the blast which Eva used both of her elbow blades to block as it pushed her back some::
This thing hasn't gotten too much weaker....gotta do what I can...
::She was able to redirect it as she prepared her blades to go in on the assault::

::Eva sees that Typhon isn't trying to fight her, but rather get away from her. Abandoning the battle, it dives for the water below. Oliver, Nyx, and Kerion are thrown off of it, but before they can fall to their deaths, Nyx uses the shadows of the night sky to leap to where Oliver and Kerion are before teleporting back to the only hand hold she can find at the moment; Eva's ankle. Typhon plunges one of its three remaining hands into the water, pulling it back up with Echidna and Iole on its palm::
Rena... I'm sorry. I had no idea.
::But Echidna doesn't look at her. Instead she stares in horror at her own hands. Iole reaches for her, but she shrinks back::
Echidna: Stay away from me! Get back!
Rena it's okay. It wasn't your fault... you were just...
Echidna: Get away from me! It's not okay!
::Throwing both her hands out, she pushes Iole off of Typhon's hand. Iole sprouts her wings to keep her from falling back into the water. But before she can return to Rena, a low rumble from within the Deep Sea Research station calls everyone's attention. At its heart, the Ultima Crystal has finally overloaded. The explosion shatters it into thousands of shards, and in a fiery blaze it takes out the entire lower level of the spired structure with it. The explosion throws all the heroes back and Eva nearly drops her uninvited tag-alongs before Iole can return to her dragon form and catch them. The flames even linger on the debris that floats along the water's surface as the spires crumble into the sea, and far off they can see Typhon with Echidna on its shoulder taking off, not for the Variola but in the opposite direction, heading for somewhere far away::

(OOC - He pulled it off. Going to the ice rink, see you all in 3 hours; hopefully nothing big happens though I have doubts.)
Dante takes notice of Echinda and Typhoon fleeing the scene. Hey, wait! I'm not done with you yet! He goes after them but his trigger starts to make him grunt loudly in pain, feeling as if his energy is no more to support himself. Argh... damn it... all gone....... Leviathan, do it! This better work................ I guess you'll see you around.. yo...[/color]
Quezacolt disappears and Dante is back to his normal self... his angel wings grown back through the unsuspecting pre-made holes from his trench coat... and completely unconscious. Eva was busy making sure everyone was on Iole only to realize Dante falling. As it seems to be too late...
.... Leviathan seemingly squeezed through the cracks of the trigger, literally popping out his chest. Wake up!!! He starts to inhale something in his mouth until he spits out a stream of water before heading back into the trigger. Dante chokes and looks down.
"WHAT THE!!!" In natural Angel reaction, his wing moves around a bit to provide lift to stop at a halt before crashing into the water.
He uncovers his eyes to find he was floating... then looks on his back. Wait... what?? What is... how...? It did not matter... the first thing he had to do was fly up. Unsure on how operate his wings, he just thinks of a movement of flapping his wings... and naturally, he starts to go up slowly to get the same level... then... I wonder. His mind starts to think up creatively things... such as straight fly, flying around, bank a turn, halt... and everything he done to himself and his new formed wings was natural.. as if they were part of him for this whole time. "I... I... I can fly!!! Am I really an an--... but how... and..--"
His mind was over-excited and at same time frustrated and confused... and conflicted... because of this, he lose control and: Dante!! Watch out--!! For that--!!! BONK!!! Dante's body crashes directly into a remaining pole of the research facility...
Ooooo! @.@ Eeeeee.... Uuuggghh.... n00b -_-
Dante floats back to the others, rubbing his head. "I take a lot of things have happened when.. something happened....." And Eva... do not worry. He floats by her side and removes his glove momentarily to show his ring before putting it on again. I have not forgotten of what happened on this day that marks for both of us. He kisses her on the forehead and turns to everyone.
"I suppose you can all explain later. Is everyone all right? What of Echinda? Will she not come again and cause more trouble again? Because I take it we are going to have to head to the ship now and save Lillith, yes?"

"I'm sure Lillith is alright, she does have Rainii and Jas there with her but I'm still a bit worried about whats going on...."
::She then frowned::
"I still owe Gwen a few things......"
::Her fists clenched up a bit as she then smiled at Dante::
Your goint to have a few more things we're going to have to discuss Dante....one of those being what to do the next time I'm angry.
::She gave him a wink before flying off towards the ship::
