::Kerion looks up at the warehouse from the location Anya gave him. His face stern as he walks to the door. One of his hands pulling out one of his guns before stops infront:: It's time.
::He kicks the door open and steps in, gun rasied::

::The storeroom Kerion has barged into is vast and empty. It probably hasn't been used in years. It's split into two levels with the upperhalf being taken by a platform with adjoining gangplanks leading to haphazard metal stairs. The room is dimly lit with flickering lights with faulty wiring::
Astaroth: You know, you're really making this too easy.
::A light comes on, this one steadier than the others. It centers directly over Alicia Strauss::

::His gun trains on her, his eye boring into her as he pulled the safety back:: "Where's Maria..."

::She laughs a short "hmph" holding up the video sphere in her hand. She uses her thumb to push the button, projecting the image. Maria is alone in a gray non-descript room that could be anywhere. She's tied to a metal chair with a blindfold secured over her. Kerion's keen eyes allow him to spot a shining red dot in the center of her forehead. A gunsite::
Astaroth: If your associate was smarter, she would have put the tracer on the girl instead of me. She was never here to begin with. Because now you don't know where she is, or how to get to her. All you're sure of is that there's a barrell pointed at her head.
(OOC: Am I spelling that right?)

((OOC: Guess so))
::His arm lowers at the sight, but he quickly raises his gun and fires at the video sphere, knocking it out of her hand:: "I've learned my lesson when you tried to have me killed in that blast, so why should I trust you when you've done nothing but lie to me." ::He aims and fires again, with her dodging his shots:: "This ends today Alicia, if that's even your name!"

::She remains unphased as the sphere is shot from her hand::
Astaroth: And how do you plan to get little Maria back after this?

"I'll just have to trust my instincts. They've never failed me before." ::He runs to her, attaching his blade to his gun in the process::

Astaroth: Alright, lets play a game shall we? If you win, I'll tell you where she is. But if you lose, I call my associate, and he puts a bullet in her brain. The game is "Last One Standing" Sound fair?

Normally I would never take that if someone's life is on the line. But this is do or die! Forgive if I fail Maria... "Deal! But you should know I have no intention of losing!" ::He speeds up and rushes her, his blade poised to strike::

Astaroth: Ooo that's what I like to hear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHou5qQY7M&feature=related::She removes her square framed glasses and throws them to the side, letting them shatter while she steps out of her high-heeled shoes. Her long tail emerges from behind her along with her wings as she lets her long blond hair down. Then before Kerion's eyes, curled horns grow from her head, and the blue coloring in her eyes starts to spread until her skin is an azure shade. Her eyes are left an unnatural shade of glassy amber. Then at last, her business attire tears from her body to reveal her black plated armor. She stretches her arm where a long handled scythe materializes in her hand:: Astaroth: Ready when you are. ::Then without waiting, she dives from the rafter, spreading her wings like a hawk for prey::

::The gunfire forces her to change direction. She swoops back into the air and hovers above him before throwing her scythe. It severs the light above Kerion, forcing him to dive out of the way before it falls and shatters in a shower of sparks right where he was standing. The scythe returns to her hand like a boomerang::
Astaroth: Can't shoot what you can't see. Too bad for you, my senses are heightened.
::She starts circling the room, severing cords that hold the lights up, centering her assault mainly over Kerion.

::He dodges each one, but knows that with each one gone, the place gets more darker. He takes note of the surroundings before athe last light falls and the place falls into darkness. Kerion closes his eye and listens in while he has his blade-gun ready to intercept or attack. The warning he got was the sound of something flying through the air to his location. He dodges as her scythe buries itself into the spot he stood:: "There's more than one way to fight in the dark."

Astaroth: Strong talk.
::Her voice is right behind him, but too late Kerion moves. A stabbing pain in his back, and then an incredible burning as she pulls the barb of her tail out. Then she's gone again::
Astaroth: Hahahaha I'm over here Sharpshooter. Or am I over here? How about here? Hahahaha
::Her voice starts to sound like it's coming from everywhere at once::

Been awhile since I fought a opponent in the dark. he thought. I have to find a way to see if I got any chance of surviving this. ::He backs, taking note of the sound her wings make before he backs into a wall. He then gets an idea as he drives his weapon to the ground and draws his Punisher, loading whatever round he picked up from his ammo belt::

::While Kerion's distracted loading his gun, he hears her wings swoop down on him. Again he's a second too late as she buries her claws into his shoulders, lifting him off his feet. She flies through the air with him, slamming his back and the side of his face into the wall. She keeps flying, grinding him against it::

::As he struggles to get his arms free, his finger pulls the trigger on his gun. Flames shoot out from the barrel. The instant light temporarly blinds her as she lets go to clear her vision. A dull thud is what she heard when he landed on the ground. Kerion aims back up where she was:: "Fire shot!"

::The flames shoot through the air, illuminating the scene to show Astaroth flying backwards in a somersault after being thrown back by the shot. She runs her claws over her eyes, shielding herself from the light, dazed and confused. She glares down at Kerion and retreats into the shadows, readying to circle him again to attack from behind::

"What's the matter?" He taunted. "The demon can't handle fire or the light it makes?" ::He fires again, this time he uses it as a light source before noticing some barrels that were left behind when the building was abandonded:: Who would leave fuel barrels behind? ::He aims up and fires, the flames missing Astaroth, but did graze her wing::

(OOC: What do you know? The heightetned senses thing backfired on her. And thanks for magically putting the fuel barrels in there, now I don't have to do it.)
::The flapping only serves to ignite her wing, and soon she's turned into a spinning flaming torpedo. She swoops down on Kerion again, but swerves to the side before he can fire. Instead she snatches up one of the barrells, lifting it higher until she's in position. Then she hurls it at him::
