::He hears the barrel and dodges, the contens in it burts into flames when it crashed into the wall. Kerion then opened his eyes and saw her:: That solves my light problem. ::He unloads the flame round and replaces it with a purple round:: "Ultima shot!" ::He fires, but misses as she dodges and grabs another barrel. The fire starts to spread from the original source as the sencond barrel breaks open::

::Astaroth is now on the ground retrieving her scythe. Her wings are folded in, and he can see the burn wounds in them. Her black hair hangs in her face::
Astaroth: Can't take the heat Sharpshooter? That damage to my wings just cost little Maria two of her fingers.
::She twirls her scythe expertly, readying her stance::

::He aims at her, his eye narrowing:: "At least I got rid of your flight advanatge." ::He fires, each shot missing as she dodged. As she drew close to use her scythe, he dodged and used the gun as a club, hitting her back near her wings. He rolled to the side to avoid her tail::

::She follows through her move with the scythe, turning her entire body to use the edge of her wings to slice neatly through Kerion's armor. It appears her wings are as hard as her tail::
Astaroth: They're not just for flying.
::Then as he rolls, she brings her scythe down to where he is on the ground, barely missing his head and grazing his shoulder::

"Impressive." Now I got to not only watch out for that tail, but her wings and scythe as well. I really know how to pick my enemies... ::He replaces the Ultima round for a sickly green one:: "Poison shot!" ::A greenish projectile fires out. She dodges it, but sees the ground sizzle as it made contact::

::Astaroth smiles as she presses the blunt end of her scythe against his throat::
Astaroth: You've never fought a demon before have you? Poison doesn't harm me. My kind has no blood for it to spread through.
(OOC: At least that's what I did with Natalia. I'm not sure if it would apply to her since she's not a Freyan demon, but hey I'll roll with it).

"Thanks for the info." ::He leans back so she slips in her stance before sweeping her legs out from under her. He grabs her tail as she tries to stab him:: "Not this time!" ::He thros her against the wall, causing her to drop her scythe. he picks it up and readies himself with it, the point pointing at her. But unnoticed to them, the liquid from the barrel was spreading to the others, heating them up and causing the liquid inside to boil::

::They circle each other for a moment or two before Astaroth rushes him, catching the scythe first in her tail's barb, then by the handle with both her hands, forcing it upward and letting her get in close enough to head-but him in the nose::

::He backs away, his free hand nursing his nose. He moves his ahnd away and sees its not bleeding:: "Time to stop playing around." ::He tosses his trenchcoat off as it hits the ground with a thud. He then pulls his eye patch off as he glares at her:: "Haste." ::He charges at her, his speed now increased as he dodged her scythe and roundhouse kicked her side::

::Astaroth growls as her eyes follow his increased movement. She spins her scythe in the air before bringing the pommel of its staff hard into the ground::
Astaroth: Thundaga!
::Electricity snakes out from its staff along the metal flooring, sending shockwaves throughout Kerion's entire body::

::Kerion shouts in pain as the lighting flows through him. He drops to one knee as the lighting dissapates, panting from the effort to not black out. Unknown to him, fire gathers in his hand and without thinking:: "Firaga!" ::He launches the spell at the scythe::

::Astaroth's weapon is tossed from her hand by the blast, and she staggers backwards. She bares her fangs, looking truly frightening as the flames backlight her. She raises her claw tipped fingers to eye level::
Astaroth: I've had enough of you.
::She straightens her fingers as her claws grow to a foot long. She flexes them and they grind together with a razor metallic sound::

::She crouches lower near the flames and places the tips of her claws in them. The fire travels up her claws, igniting them as well. Then she moves in for Kerion, swiping her claws for his throat, forcing him to use his blade attachment::

::He blocked the slash, but felt the heat from it as he stepped back. He pushed his offense, but found she kept dodging or find a counter. As he dodged her next attack, she grazed his left shoulder. He graoned in pain from both the pain and the burn, but gritted his teeth and continued to fight. He looks and saw his other blade-gun where he left it. The fire reached the blade and ignited the steel.::

::While he reaches for his weapon, Astaroth doesn't let up her attack, sliding her claws down his arm, leaving four parallel cuts. Then another swipe at his legs::

::Kerion drops his weapon from her attack. He barely dodges her claws, but they do graze his pants. He jumps back while grabbing his burning weapon, aiming it at her. he charges, the blade dragging against the ground as he slashed. Although he missed, he did graze her cheek. But he kept up, striking any chance he got::

::She catches the blade between both sets of claws, holding it away from her face while the two of them are locked in a stalemate::
Astaroth: There's still time to walk away from this you know. Go back to your work, get pretty Maria back when it's over, forget everything you saw.
::At first Kerion wonders why she's extending the offer. Then he senses her tail curving behind him, ready to strike. She's trying to distract him::

"Fool me once, shame you. ::He breaks the stalemate by dropping his weapon and diving to the side. But she then notices he picks up his Punisher and aims at her:: Fool me twice, shame on me!" ::He fires, the Ultima magic htting her dead center in the chest. The force knocks her back against the wall, nearly breaking her wings in the process. He runs to her as she tries to get up. To prevent her from using her tail, he steps on it as he trains his gun on her:: "Yeild."

::Astaroth tries to get up on her hands, but she falls back on her face. Her wings are broken and twisted and the rest of her body is in pretty bad shape. Her claws have retracted as well. But before Kerion can do anything more, tiny footsteps ring out in the burning warehouse. Out of the corner of Kerion's eye he sees a little girl in a black dress with platinum blond hair dashing around him. She dives for Astaroth who remains out cold, shielding the demoness with her body, glaring up at Kerion with her large glistening eyes::
(OOC: I've been waiting for that)
