::As Nu oversaw the results of the weapons made by his technological division, he suddenly cringed as he grabbed his head::
It's starting to happen again...
Aizen: It's happening again, isn't it?
::Nu looked to the young summoner and nodded::
"Tell the others I'll be sealing myself away again. I do not want a repeat of what happened last time I was unbound."
::Aizen ran off as he continued, waiting for the final results to be verified::
::15 minutes later::
"You all know the rules."
::The small group nods as nu heads inside the chamber. Kamikaze closes and deadlocks the door behind him while Astaroth puts sealing runes to reinforce it. A porthole in the door allowed them to see why he wanted to be imprisoned. His screams shook them to their bones as his body started changing. The sickening sound of bones twisting and snapping are heard as his body changes shape. His roars are of pain and rage as his terrifying transformation is complete::
Kamikaze: My god...
Astaroth: So this is a titan...
::They backed away from the door quickly as he charged at the door. The door held as they saw his face, his eyes now glowing an angry red, his teeth sharp as fangs while two grand hors erupted from his forehead. If any looked into his eyes, they would see nothing but wrath in them.::
::Inside his mind::
::Nu was held down by black shackles, the power of Jezebel controlling his body in his stead::
"This is harder to control than I thought." Nu grunted as he struggled against the chains.

::Still in Nu's head, a ghostly apparition of a woman floated above his body. She placed her hands on either side of his face. They had a strange faery sheen about them, as did her white blond hair that writhed about her elven face on its own. Her long black dress slithered around her body like shadows. Her slitted flame colored eyes stare back into his::
Jezebel: That's because you're trying to control it. Don't.
::Her voice was airy as a whisper and sent chills down the marrow of his spine::
Jezebel: Embrace it. Your wrath. Your hatred. It's that sin that gives you strength. Gives you drive. It always has. Don't you hate them? The ones that did this to you?

"I do, but I prefer to be in control." He replied. "A warrior without control over oneself is like a uncontrolled wildfire, destroying all in its path. Did any of the other six titans have this problem, or am I unique because I'm not an elf?"

::The dark spirit's lips twitched into a smile of amusement at that notion::
Jezebel: Heh, unique. Special. There's really nothing special about you. About any of you. At the end of the day, you're all just mortals reaching for something you don't have, and clinging desperately to the things you do. There's that one fatal flaw. The illusion that you're in control. There's nothing you can do to change your fate. Especially not now. Your thoughts, your desires, your body, they all belong to me now. That was your price. The only reason I'm allowing you free reign is because you mortals can be amusing in the ways you choose to use the power I give you.
::She released her hold on him and floated upright, holding her finger to her lip as if in thought::
There was one other Titan like you who was ruled by wrath. What was her name again? It's been so long.
::Her lips curved again into a sinister grin::
Ah yes. Lillith, also known in Freya as the Black Whirlwind. The poor girl became a Titan quite on accident, simply to overthrow her father, the current one. One of my servants tricked her into stealing her father's power in order to kill him, unwittingly letting me into her. Then I waited, taking whatever hold I could inside her mind. Oh how she fought. But as I said, she was prone to anger. Everytime she lost her cool I came a step closer. When it became to great, she lost all control and her wrath turned her into a monster! It was a sight to behold as she stretched her new wings and ravaged the countryside. And here's the best part. Her own husband, a so-called hero of Freya was the one who finally ended her life.
::She laughed coldly to herself, revelling in her own cruelty::

::Part of him was sickened from what he heard, but his face never shown it. On the outside, his form continued to thrash around the empty room, doing anything it can to break free::
"And the others? Were they willing to accept your power, or we're they also victims of deceit?"
::He felt the shackles beginning to lack abit, allowing his arms to move a inch::

::The Goddess' back was now turned to him as she replied::
Jezebel: Willing or not, they were all decieved, having the impression that calling on my power would change anything. Nyx's pride made her think she could put a stop to her race's constant warring. Echidna's gluttony made her hungry for more power to the point of her banishment, Guinevere's lust made her willing to do just about anything for me even before she became a Titan. Not to mention the countless others who all have their own sad reasons to turn. I'll admit, Natalia has been fun. She's much like you. So angry. But Envy is a little different than Wrath. It usually has a target. It makes her a more focused tool. More level-headed. Aside from that, she and I have similar views of you mortals.

((OOC: Hmm, I knew the Titans were somehow tied to the seven deadly sins. And seeing as 2 sins aren't mentioned, I'm assuming Cronus is greed & Lillith is sloth. But I thought the order was going to be abit like this: Nyx-Gluttony(She used Jezebel's power to the point she was severely weakened when she was sealed away), Echidna-Sloth, Cronus-Greed, Lillith-Pride, Guinevere-Envy(Jealous because Natalia was Jezebel's favored), Natalia-Lust(Her lust for both power and revenge)
"That is where you're wrong. Every sin can be either focused on a single target, or can attack anyone in its path. Natalia's Envy was focused on a race, not a single person."
::His shackles slack even more, allowing more movement::
::On the outside, his body started to calm down as it slowly thrashing::
Kamikaze: Looks like he's starting to gain control.

(OOC: Cronus was greed, but Lillith was actually chained by wrath. The original Guinevere never actually had much animosity against Nat, and they were similar in ways. Guinevere's loneliness made her desperate and dangerous, while Natalia allowed hers to make her angry and jealous. So at times she was also guilty of Lust. I never really thought of Nat as power-hungry.)
Once again you think you know it all. Pride certainly seems to agree with you as well. That keen and penetrating mind has made you arrogant. It's not who she is jealous of that makes Natalia so useful. It's what she covets. Something you mortals too often take for granted in her eyes. Something that she'll never have again, no matter how long she lives now that her heart is set on destroying it.
::Though her back was still turned to him, he could hear the twitch of her lips as she snickered::
You're cute when you struggle.
::In the blink of an eye she's hovering over him again, her blazing eyes but an inch from his::
You are not like Lillith. You have given yourself to me, mind, body, and soul. Don't tell me you haven't noticed. There's not a drop of blood coursing through your veins anymore. You are now a demon, a being chained to my will by your own sins. You can only be freed when and if I allow you to be. And I have never unchained anyone from me.
::The clank of his shackles rings mockingly in his ears as she takes the chains around his arms in her hand. her grip looks like a vice::
You are mine. Accept it.

::Nu looked long anjd hard at the goddess, no, demoness he willingly sold his soul to. He then looked down and while shackled, he knelt before her on one knee, a sign that he has given up, pledging his loyalty to her::
"What of the Cetra? I know you left your mark on him. His friends are oblivious to it, but I saw the dark flames on his arms during our last encounter. You are attempting to turn him as well, aren't you?"

Jezebel: Now isn't that better.
::The Fallen Goddess snickered coldly::
Jezebel: One in the same, all of you.
::Still remaining a few feet off the ground, she circled him, keeping his chains held tightly in her hand, dragging him with it, round and round::
Jezebel: Yes the Cetra has some potential in him yet. As of this moment, There are only three remaining free who know of my presence lingering in this world. And each one I have left my mark upon. That they won't soon forget or disregard. Their power is considerable, and as of yet they have not interfered with our plans. And that is why I am allowing them to exist. But you my dear...
::Suddenly she took her hand and placed it along the side of his face, coming intimately close to him. Her touch chilled him to the bone, so cold that it burned. And yet, he could not supress a shudder of pleasure that it sent up his spine::
Jezebel: You are of far greater worth to me. You are the strongest link that I have to this world. Without you, all our plans fail.
::She placed her other hand at the back of his head, drawing her face so close that her cheek touched his as she forced him to look in the same direction as her. A portal of fire opened before them. The flames reminded him of the Hell he had so narrowly escaped with the Goddess' help, and the terror he had felt. But beyond the fire was a vision of unparallelled beauty; a Utopia::
Jezebel: Don't you want to see it? That world where Good and Evil no longer exist?
(OOC: I'll tell you my favorite part of this relationship. From now on, whenever Nu carries out one of his plans, or does anything sinister for that matter, how can he be sure he's acting of his own accord and that it's not Jezebel pulling the strings?)

::Outside::
::They reacted as he fell, his body returning to normal, albeit with his clothes shredded from his transformation, the marks on his arms visible to them::

::Outside the great metal doorway, Astaroth and Kamikaze watched their master fall::
Kamikaze: Astaroth, remove the seals!
::The demoness did so at once as Kamikaze began unfastening the hatch::
Astaroth: ::to the guards:: Guard the door. Weapons at the ready.
::Then the pair rush in, attempting to help their master back to his feet, though his eyes remain closed::

Kamikaze: He's fine physically, but I wonder about his mental state. It can't be easy controlling that power. Lets get him to the infirmary for a more through check.
