The Betrayal of Luminair (Cities in the Skies)

[Demonic Repentance]

A blade sprouted from the assassin's stomach as Zach pushed the sword through. "This one dies." He pulled the sword out, looking at Aphrodite. Vines lashed out, wrapping around the others. These were immortal; directly from Gaea herself.  

[Ry Dusk Nikolai]

Ry only nodded, avoiding looking at Alice (for she still amde her nervous). She didn't pay any attention as Zach killed the assasins, for she was to high up and too deep in thought to pay any attention.  

[Demonic Repentance]

He watched with sick satisfaction as their necks broke. Zach sighed as the blood disappeared, and he set Alice down.

Lance saw a flash of the future. That had changed because of Zachs actions. First he saw the future that would have been before. That Assassin ended up turning on the other ones. Helping to keep the others safe from the other hired pawns. Though he would have demanded some sort of payment. It was still aid.

But now the one that hired him. Would realize just how strong the ones he had marked were. And he would personally come to the location. Along with a larger force. Than just a few hired hands that he had originally used. Lance saw the troops overtaking the place. Busting through windows and stepping out of shadows. But he couldn't see past that point. Like, the actions of the ones inside would determine that part of the future which would be there present at the time. Only everything else, the large force of troops. And there leader coming here. Was already something that had been written.

Lance stood up looking around at the corners. Nervously he started to speak to the ones in the room. Not entirely sure if all of them were his friends. Due to the poor lighting and lack of vision he couldn't be certain. I think we have to go. Zach you fool! Because of you we will now have a larger force to deal with. Such an excessive use of force has given us two options. Flee with the ones that can't fight properly. And make our way our of this building to safety. Or stay to defend this location will will most certainly. End in some sort of sacrifice in the end.

Alice's eyes opened. "Let them come," She said, pulling out a long, wickedly curved black sword, tipped with violet poison. "We have gods on our side..."

"And two demigods," He said. "Gaea wouldn't let me die..."

((I'm sorry ^.^;; We're kinda deep in this...I'm not sure how I could fit you in...unless you have a idea?))

"Why don't you just use your previous idea? Teleport to where he is and tell him where we are!" She started writting the address on stationary and gave it to Watcher.

Sydney sat near Aphrodites, staring at the floor and just listening to all the conversation silently.

A ring of fire appeared on the ground next to the bed. It formed a circle of flame. As a very dangerous looking figure appeared. He took the form of a tall man. Black hair, a fine black silk shirt, ironed high quality jeans. Black socks made of cotton and a pair of black dress shoes. With a mustache on his face and a well shaven face.
(I'm trying to establish this figure as a sinister figure. And I happened to be thinking of the ninja from Batman Begins).

One of the assassins emerged from the shadows in the left corner of the room. The figure was holding a sharp Katana. That the assassin was holding in there right hand.
(I will be brief in the description of these troops. As these will most likely be dispatched quickly).

The unknown figure smiled as he held out his right hand. Causing the assassin to be thrown against the wall. And flames seemed to consume him as the ashes spread. He then walked over to the window slowly to look outward. The figure looked downward at an alleyway.

There was a small group of assassins gathered in a disorganized way. More kept coming to join there ranks. As some of the Assassins ran past the group. Not all were actually working together. Although most of the hired hands had come from different parts of the world. A large part of them were working together. In a somewhat organized way as some sort of plan was being hatched. The Deceiver could only surmise that there were a few more groups around this building. And a few scattered in random places inside of this place. That one had stepped outside of the shadows. So there was nothing to suggest that the others couldn't do the same.

The figure stroked his chin as he thought for a second. But then again, it could be that. The ones gathered in an organized way are doing so. Because they themselves don't have the opinion of walking through shadows. It is a skill that has to be taught. And not all of them are well trained. In fact every hired hand surrounding this place. Is lacking the power of every figure in this building. I have much to catch up on since I've been away, "an evil grin crossed his face".  

[Ry Dusk Nikolai]

Sydney had sensed the assasins long before they came. He had snuck out amoungst the fighting (the assasins now in Ry's apartment) and was now standing besides his childhood friend (and ex-love), a hand on her shoulder.

"We have to go. Now!"

Ry turned to him, about to protest, but he gently pricked a scar on the back of her neck. A soul's greatest weakness. She fell silently against him, as he turned into numbers with her in his arms and disappeared, away from the fighting.  

[Demonic Repentance]

Aphrodite gathed Zach and Alice into her arms, and followed Sydney.  

[LanceCalvis]

The figure sensed that the figure Zach was trying to run. He held out his hand as he shut down all transportation from this location. He wasn't about to allow the one that had caused all of this. To just run away like a coward without fixing this. The assassins would only keep coming until dealt with. And the goddess wasn't exactly powerless either. He wasn't on the side of the assassins exactly. But The Deceiver detested cowards. Those that could fight would be made to stay and do so.

Lance spotted the figure in the same room as he was in. There was nothing to suggest that this wasn't just another assassin. But then why was this figure just standing in plain sight. Looking out that window while this place was being overtaken. The thought came to his mind that this could very well be the leader. He slashed his right arm in the air. As his angelic wings spread outward. And his face and skin changed to that of a demon. He wasn't entirely sure what he was in for. Lance thought this would be an easy match. Inching forward he changed his arm into a sharp white land. He charged at his foe with full force. Thrusting his arm outward to pierce this ones back. A crimson red light showed up around the figure. The second his arm hit the light it was stuck. Trying desperately to free his arm from the light. The Deceiver turned around looking him directly in the face. He grabbed his arm pulling it from the force field. Lance stumbled backward as he kept a close eye on this one. He said very little then went back to what he was doing. Go help your friends elsewhere. The leader isn't even here in this location. I will personally deal with him that you can be assured of. The Deceiver held out his right arm. As a spark came from it floating over to Lance. It was a crimson spark much more powerful than the two that were inside of Lance. The second the spark hit him it created a perfect fusion of his abilities. He didn't even need to change his appearance to use them anymore. Lance wasn't sure if he should thank this one. Or trying to reject the power. But this wasn't the time for all that. For now he would see where all of this would lead him.  

[Demonic Repentance]

Zach frowned, his hand sliding into Alice's instinctively. The assassins all started on fire, immortal flames.  

[LanceCalvis]

The flames spread through the apartment randomly. Appearing in different parts. There was no certainty in the least where the blasts would land. Since there hadn't been any destination planned on the blasts.

As a group of four of the assassins were making there way up a hallway. The wall beside them suddenly exploded. Causing the destruction of an old painting. The leader was blown against the wall from the blast. While the other non pointmen had only the smoke and ash to deal with. Sparks flew around the area. Before the hellfire rested on the ground. Spitting sparks like a volcano. As it slowly ate its way through the floor. The group teleported past the point further into the hallway. As they left the one downed critical troop behind. The floor gave way behind them as the hellfire descended further downward destroying all building material in its path.

There was an explosion on the roof. Where no assassins were currently stationed. Against, the blast tested the integrity of the building. By landing on top of a metal beam that was connected to one of the supports for the building.

The third and final blast hit dead on. Despite not having a target it blasted through a brick wall to the right side of the building. As bricks flew into the nearest building nearby. The group on this side of the building were taken out immediately.

Two had come before this. One killed by one in the apartment and the other by The Deceiver. One was taken out by the first blast by Zach. And five by the third and last one that had happened. Due to his unskilled attack on the ones around the building. Thirteen still remained around the building. Four in the hallway, six to the left of the building. Two on the upper floor doing a sweep of the area. Looking for the ones they had been hired to kill. And one that decided to try the front door in front of the building.  

[Demonic Repentance]

"Go! Use Ouranous' kingdom and escape!" Aphrodite closed her eyes. "I shall call Ares and Thanatos."

Zach nodded. "I know you're a goddess, but..." He hugged her, kissing her cheek. "Be careful. You're like a mother to me." Then he and his sister disappeared, slipping into Ouranous...  

[Ry Dusk Nikolai]

Ry and Sydney were floating through black space. Soul transportation was unstoppable, for it ment their matter breaking up into molecules and floating some where.

((GTG, so this will be short))  

[Demonic Repentance]

Zach and Alice came out in a forest. "Thank you, Elder One..." He sighed. "Guess we gotta wait for Ry and Syd...
