Darkness Everlasting [Zell]

by **Arcana** August 11th 2013, 4:37 pm

The encounter was still fresh upon his mind, playing over and over again as if on a loop. No matter how many times he had tried, Sean could not forget that individual. Such life force, and every moment he was away, he felt his body would tear itself apart. If he wanted him all to himself, Sean was aware that there were those that needed to die, and it all started with the woman. Her and her damned brother who were both in love with that shell, a shell that Sean felt was not completely under control of itself. The diminutive male had found it within his best interest to follow her, and when she was alone, he would strike. Strike when she was the most vulnerable and when her precious Zell was no there to save her. Snuff out that brief candle of life, with one swift motion.

Sean stood at the edge of the magical security system that shrouded the Hale mansion, eyes narrowing. Events played through his mind rapidly, some of them regrettable and others not so much. It was a home that he could not return to, not with what he had done and not with what he had planned. Death was the order of the night, and one he would serve. With inhuman speed he was off, surveillance still needing to be done.

From the shadows he would watch, the large avian creature and Zell with her most of the time, but there was one where she was almost alone. That being on her way to an...airport. It was not the most secluded of places, but Sean considered that it would serve its purpose well enough. She would meet her end, and that brother of hers would follow suit when Sean had his chance. Aaron of course had certain reservations against him going out after his episode, but Sean had his ways, though it was likely he would not be welcome back at the Hale household. Bridges were burnt and Sean found himself on a path that there was no going back on. All he could do was move forward, and nothing more.

The Half-Titan made sure to duck in and out of shadows with the stealth of a shadow, and as far as he knew the woman knew nothing of his presence. Each step was measured, and there could be no mistakes. Sean drew upon his knowledge gained from his years as a thief, and they came in handy when he needed them the most. If Zell would forgive him did not matter, and if Aaron cared didn't either. Selfish, dark intentions were all that motivated him, and that had yet to fail. Soon enough she would stop at the airport and that was when Sean would make his move, as swift as a breeze. His speed aided in his efforts. There were cameras, a few though Sean had grown used to dealing with them long ago, and they werte easy enough to disable. Snip a wire here and there, then they couldn't record.

The time was midnight and the city Chicago, the perfect setting for a murder.

”Leaving so soon?” Sean asked mockingly, seeming to appear out of nowhere from atop the airplane, sliding down from it until he stood in front of her. The markings pulsed an angry red. He looked like the perfect vision of a street punk, in worn jeans with the knees ripped to hell, a simple graphic tee, and shoes as worn as the pants. He wore a stripped jacket with the arms cut off, to show the markings adorning his arm, which transitioned between deep red and a darker black, like the abyss. "We never even got the chance to get....acquainted.” The air had begun to grow thick with Nether and he was sure even she could feel it.

No matter how hard Zell tried he couldn’t remember what the hell happened last night. No matter how he tried, or what he did he kept coming to a dead end of ideas. Something wasn’t quite right, he could remember that. He was trashed after the Imperfect Being attacked him at the Hale house, but he still couldn’t come to a conclusion after that. He remembered Niall hitting it off with that Brandon kid pretty well, and apparently it was REAL well since Niall wasn’t anywhere to be found on campus in the morning. There was one thing Zell remembered, he vowed to make Niall human. He accepted the fact that he wouldn’t be around forever, and so he made the promise that Niall would do what he couldn’t live to do. Niall was going to up and change this world, one way or another. Zell woke in the morning, a minor ache but nothing skull-shattering. The first thing he did was sit down at his desk, push off all the classes and began researching consciousness transference by means of telepathy.

Shara was by his side all day, trying to pry him from his studies to check in on him. This was a life they had both become accustom to. Zell and Shara’s love was true, pure and unbreakable, but it was one of the rarest sights to see. Tonight Shara returned to Canada to take her place as S.T.A.R.K’s femme fatal The Banshee. There were plans she had in mind though. She and Zell were going out for inner just before she would begin her trek for the airport. The time came when she walked into Zell’s dorm room and wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her chin on his messy brown hair. Zell looked at the clock and saw that it was eight at night, and he had spent the entire day, drawing graphs, composing algorithms and projecting possibilities only to compare them to probabilities. He had started with his O.C.D cleanly desk and went to scattered papers, torn from notebooks and scrap paper. Zell reluctantly left his work to get dressed for dinner.

Zell’s car was destroyed the night prior, and while his beloved had a car of her own, she much preferred physical exertion and calming alone-time walks. Zell once more deferred to his hearts muse and walked along side her. Her long black hair brushed against the side of her tanned face, and her beautiful brown eyes seemed to shine from the stars. The picture of a perfect couple. They laughed all the way to the restaurant, and laughed the entire way there. Lourishna flew overhead, making sure that they reached their destination safely before going on the prowl. Zell got a couple looks for his sheer reputation, and Shara for the fact that such a beautiful woman was interested in such a young man. Shara felt a sorrow growing inside, while their relationship was picture perfect, it was far from eternal. Zell’s skin was almost as tan as hers, and he’d not been in sun for a good time now. His more attractive skin tone was obviously a symptom of his progressing ailment. She silently mourned her slowly dying love, while still wearing a broken smile and laughing with him. She resolved that she would no longer think of his inevitable demise, but rather that she would simply enjoy and love him for the time she had left with him.
.

Zell kissed her goodnight and told her she would see him back in Canada in a week. She trotted off, still all dolled up, with nowhere good to go now. From the airport she would be able to catch her flight and return to her duties. Zell, on the other hand, returned to his dorm and shed his uncomfortable formal clothing to sit in his bed-bound attire at his desk, resuming his research and theory. Zell actually began to wonder where Niall was, he was awfully late for checking in. Zell smirked at the fact that Niall had finally found someone to keep his attentions. Zell would need to meet this guy later, make sure he was up to par with standards and all. But for now, Zell was adding the finishing touches.

Chicago airport wasn’t much farther now, in fact she was only about five minutes away. He shoes kept clicking off the concrete as she walked down the alley. She pulled out her sunglasses from her purse and put them over her eyes, for anonymity’s sake. She was headed towards the jet, having taken the time to dress more ‘appropriately’ for when she returned to her S.T.A.R.K superior, Nero. ”Leaving so soon?”

Shara crossed her arms and looked to the source of the voice. Sean was on top of the Gene-Tech private jet. He slid down and onto the private runway, right in front of Shara. He was dressed like a damn punk, and Shara wasn’t exactly judgmental, but when they have strange red markings on their body, she tends to get suspicious. She knew more than likely that Sean was an implanted spy or sent by the Hales to knock her off or try and replace her. This was almost insulting though. She did so thoroughly enjoy hearing the ploy’s of her ‘attackers’ and so she simply regarded him with a relieved smile and an unsettled laugh.

    “You…you scared me.” Shara said as if she were a ditz who didn’t know any better. The bastard had blood on the mind and murder in his eyes. For the sake of the whole ‘killer and victim’ cliché she played along and acted dumb. “Acquainted? Well I have a little time… So I’ll start. I work for Zell as a meta-human hunter, and I am really interested as to what the Hale’s have to accomplish by sending you to kill me.”  She said, never batting an eye. Meanwhile, Lourishna flew overhead, almost perfectly camouflaged his void-colored feathers against the midnight skies. Lourishna sensed the rising tensions and sent out an alert to both Niall and Zell.

       Niall’s eyes popped open and he smiled seeing Brandon there, being able to actually FEEL the warmth of another human…or of A human.. He rolled over and took in a quiet breath. Lourishna had gotten in contact with him. Shara was in trouble, and she was horribly outclassed. Shara was skilled, but she wasn’t THAT skilled. Niall didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t think twice about doing it. He pecked Brandon as gently as he could as he tried to slip out. He threw on the semblance of clothing he could find, actually needing to borrow a shirt. His first action was to call Zell’s motorcycle to him. The cycle was there in three minutes flat, the frame was almost like something out of a sci-fi fantasy. The cycle itself looked like a metallic green dragon, the eyes were the headlights, the mouth was armed with a flamethrower, the two wing ‘prongs’ facing ahead were small missiles and there was a rotating machine on each side of the head. This was actually a hobby fort Zell and it wasn’t even tested really. No better time than the present. Niall took a look back at the Hale house, hoping Brandon didn’t get the wrong idea.

     Zell, however, did not receive the alert. He had also forgotten that the night before he programmed his pseudo-telepathy links to undergo a binary switch, shutting down their functions. The love of his life was in danger, and he was none the wiser.

He rolled over in the king sized bed, covers falling away as the small golem crawled over his shoulder. Brandon Hale let a small sigh rush through his lips, eyes creeping open to a room nearly bathed in darkness, but yet there was one person missing. He couldn't fell that warmth that was there when he had been waking not so long ago, Niall was gone. ”Niall? The light turned on in an instant, light bathing the room and illuminating the nearly nude Hale. Aaron stood at the door, but what was different was a large swollen lower lip, and a smudge of blood running down his chin. His eyes were bloodshot, but Brandon wouldn't dare suggest anything.

”Your playmate left not too long ago, and it seemed rather urgent.” Aaron said with a tone thet was tinged with melancholy. What had happened while he was asleep?

”Aaron your...”

”I'm fine.” He snapped. ”I think Sean's lost his mind....or maybe his humanity. I can't really tell anymore.”

'Sean did that to you?” The Half-Dwarf looked a gasp as he put on some gym shorts and a white t-shirt, embracing his twin before he could raise a protest. ”I...”

”Brandon i'm fine..its nothing.”

'Don't give me that bullshit. I'm your twin afterall and I can tell when you're hurting. You haven't had that look in your eyes since Marcus was murdered.” His embrace tightened, and Aaron couldn't help but return the gesture.

”The Hales send me?” Sean spat, the air growing thick with nether, as a small cloud had begun to extend from around Sean's feet and fill the air with it. ”You're a dumber bitch than I thought, or maybe you're just too ignorant for your own good.” Sean shrugged the markings growing a darker red, and an aura of black seeming to come off of him within the light. 'They would accomplish nothing by killing someone like you, but I think I would.” He took a stepforward. ”now listen here metahuman hunter, your title matters little to me. I'm not a metahuman, nor am I weak enough to be defeated by someone as weak as you.”

By then what seemed like the entire landing pad had become engrossed within the strange Nether mist, and there were the two figures among it, the short male one and the female. ”You hold him back, and I think that would be a good enough reason to end your miserable life. I'll take great pleasure in it too.” What appeared to be a blade made of pure black nether formed within his right hand, pulsating with an aura of right right at its edge. He pointed the faux blade right at her neck.

”Enough talk though.” In an instant he was off, moving too fast for a regular human to hope to follow, or even some superhumans, and with a skilled swing he aimed to remove her head within a single motion.

Zell found himself lost in thought, relaxing his brain with passive subconscious doodling. He tried to shake a feeling deep down inside. It was a worried, deep rooted fear, or sickness that shook him to his core. He threw his pencil in a quick fit of frustration and leaned back in the fine wooden chair. He looked down in the pale golden light that shown down at the notebook. His doodle was a dragon eating its own tail, with an hourglass with the sands run out. The dragons pupils were actually omega symbols, and it looked at a stick figure was kneeling hopeless at the base of the hourglass, looking as if they were desperately trying to tip the glass...just one more time...He began using these drawings to interpret what his subconscious was trying to warn him of...or enlighten him to. The hourglass being empty was Death, The Ouroboros is a symbol of immortality, reincarnation. The person at the base told him it was one person, desperately trying to stay alive. Someone was dying...but who?

Shara's heart froze. She was holding him back? She was keeping Zell from living? She didn't want that, no one would want that. She actually contemplated letting herself die for Zell to live. But she cursed herself. This punk was obviously trying to get in her head. Son of a bitch was being successful too. A dark mist enveloped the runway, it began casting shadows. Shara knew already was overmatched, but nothing would stop her from fighting. She pulled her hood up, and placed the Zell's Visor on her right ear, covering her eye. The man sent out an energy of some kind. Shara dropped going to the ground, her power taking effect and becoming entirely invisible. She was in trouble.

Niall was approaching the airport fast. He was prepared for war. Lourishna led him to the airport, soaring swiftly to hopefully intercede in the battle. Niall had already prepared three things to happen, one for Lourishna to take Shara away. Two, for the Golden God Exosuit to fire from the jet and help him out. Three, he had the bike ready to tear into whatever was attacking the femme fatal. He reached Shara just in time to see her drop to the ground, barely avoiding the whip. Niall lined the cycle up, letting the SMG's cry out as the several pieces of the Golden God exp suit flew around searching for Niall.

If the woman was a metahuman hunter as she claimed, then she would be prepared for Sean or at least had something in case she was caught with her pants down, so to speak. However, he planned to give her no chance, not a moment to fight back, but then again he was not expecting anyone to come rushing to the whores aid. Even through the mist he could see her, but that was until she activated some sort of strange invisibility power, and faded from all sight. So she was not a normal human at all, but if this was the best that she could do, Sean would have her dead within a matter of moments. However, the sound of a motorcycle caught his attention, and for a moment he had forgotten about the invisible wench.

How had she contacted back up and when was this? There was a hail of bullets, some of them coming close to Sean, but finding themselves stopped by a barrier of Nether that had formed from the mist, and the metal clattered to the ground silently in the sound of guns firing. Sean rapidly formed a dense barrier of the Nether around him, as all of the metal projectiles found themselves useless against his superior power. Sean could feel the power of the Nether begin to flow through him, and his blood only boiled. If it meant killing this newcomer and the woman, so be it. They were lowly humans, meta or not. With a thought it faded, and he saw the cycle careening towards him at high speeds, but slow enough for Sean to keep up with it.

With a fluid motion he would leapt over the bike meant to tear through him, landing solidly on his feet, and dark eyes looking around the the two that were now his prey. ”Cute trick.” Sean admitted, his mouth flashing a wicked grin as he walked through the dark mists of death. He was slowly approaching the full transformation, and with it would come ultimate power. For now they were dealing with a corporeal being, but that would not be the case for long.”You will need more reinforcements if you want to kill me though. I guarantee you that much.” He saw what looked like a young man in golden armor, something that he had heard of once but it was scattered.

Something about a metahuman hunter that called himself the Golden God, a pathetic human that hid behind their armor. Sean knew he was naturally superior than this scum, so he wouldn't need to waste to much time on him. A cold wetness ran down the side of his leg, Sean looking down to see what looked like a cut that had been made on his thigh, leaking out viscous black blood, yet that within itself was slow. As if his bleeding out would take forever if it were to happen. ”Come at me.” Sean muttered, motioning tauntingly at the individual now opposing him. Perhaps this would be a little fun. The fog parted to allow the Golden God a better visibility of Sean, as if to give him a chance.

Zell was still trying to figure out what his subconscious was trying to tell him. For Christ’s sake he couldn’t figure out what the hell the Ouroboros had to do with anything. Ouroboros, Omega pupils, and a dying person. He was avidly trying to think of what he was SUPPOSED to know. He kicked back and looked over to the poster of brilliant men and women of science. One of the names that stuck out were Sir Isaac Newton, one of Zell’s favorites. The apple itself, a simple apple began a string of science…well partialy at least. Zell looked at the desk again. Speaking of apples, he saw a picture with himself and the apple of his eye. Zell smirked, and picked up the picture. He looked at it, wishing that he would live long enough to stay young and keep her with him forever. But because of his selfish step-father he was dying…dying to himself to become someone…Zell’s heart stopped, he broke out in an immediate cold sweat.

”Ouroboros…the one who eats his tail, he hurts himself but lives forever. I’m dying to myself but am still living on in a different way….Apple…apple of my eye…the apple of my eye…Omega…” Zell said, trying to sift through the information at high rates, he processed the information over 500 times in twenty five seconds. Each result the dreaded one he didn’t want. Ouroboros is Zell…the apple of his eye is the Omega…the omega means ‘The End’ and the dying person seems to be what the Ouroboros is looking at. Shara was in trouble. He looked to the clock, seeing it at 12:10am. She would be at the airport. Zell ran out the door, headed straight for Shara’s car.

“You beautiful Irish bastard.” She whispered to herself with a breath, hushed laugh. Sean let the mists part, and when they parted and the mists shifted, she shifted with them, curling around and going behind Sean to avoid suspicion. The motorcycle was still roaring, so she was ALMOST certain she wasn’t heard. She was far enough back, she stood up, and activated the Visor there was only a brief second, and a high tech ‘whrirump’ and a small orb of Ethereal energy fired out from the Visor only needing to clear four feet before making contact with Sean.
Niall saw the ethereal energy beam form and be on it’s way. The pieces of the suit all converged on him, forming over him. Niall was now the entity known only as The Golden God. Despite whatever happened, the ethereal beam reached Niall, hopefully blowing Sean away with it, and Niall simply backhanded the energy away. Shara slipped back into the shadow and followed the motion of the mists. Meanwhile, Sean had something else to worry about, Niall was here. He was armed to the teeth in the exosuit, and he was in overkill mode.

”I did enough of that with your boyfriends brother, thanks though.” Niall said, the modifier in the suit altering his voice slightly. Two large wings of energy, and a Protonic blasters, and his own inborn shielding Abilities, Niall was more than ready to take this punk out. ”Lemmie show you how we do things back home!” Niall said, charging a protonic blaster and firing it at Sean.

Zell was driving, but not where he originally thought he was. He felt compelled to the Hale household. Maybe it was to get Niall, as he had no clue of the events unfolding. He was almost there, he was a black at most away. He suddenly heard breathing in the seat next to him. He looked over and he paled. He was looking at a black haired version of himself. The pale, goithic looking Zell looked right at him, sad as shit. He started gritting his teeth, and suddenly the kid ripped his own flesh, morphing into an imperfect. Zell stuck his hands out off the wheels of the car to shield himself from the claws, and soon hw felt his head bash off the window on the drivers side, his car swerved onto the sidewalk, almost hitting a pedestrian. Zell felt his head slam into the window twice. The creature was screeching something, but it sounded only like white noise and the screaming of children. Zell closed his eyes.

”NO!” Zell snapped, and when he opened his eyes, everything was back to normal, he hit his head…but the window wasn’t cracked, his face wasn’t clawed…it felt real… He coughed and drove up to the hale house, laying on the horn. As one came to investigate Zell opened the door on the passenger side. Zell didn’t pick up Niall’s signature.”Where’s Niall?” He asked, his voice wracked with concern.

Amidst the mist of Nether was a single beacon, one that called to Sean like a siren. Had the being of pure life energy come to him, or was it something else, all Sean could do was whip around to see what looked like a beam of strange energy coming at him at high speeds. It was however not fast enough to fully catch him off guard, and in a moment he moved out of the way of the blast, and it came barreling towards the Golden God, who backhanded it away. He could see where that woman was now, and that meant that he now had two enemies, one of them was...Niall.

It looked like he would have to kill Brandon’s new fuck buddy. So he had come to fight Sean as well, but what could he hope to do? ”It looks like another corpse to add to the pile.” Sean noted as the armor charged up a beam of energy, though Sean would give him little time. IN a split second he was moving at an amazing speed, weaving around the energy beam as he closed the distance between the two. When the distance was little he stopped, forming a sphere of condensed Nether within his right hand, with a large amount of destructive force behind it.

'Its time I show you how to be properly fucked.” Another formed within his left hand, and Sean directed both orbs at the two targets.”but I won't be gentle.” In an instant a wide spanning blast was launched at both Shara and Niall.

Someone burst through the Hale households front door, Zell being that someone and concern wracked his voice. Aaron looked down it him from the spiraling staircase, his swollen lip pursing curious as why he was coming at such a late hour. ”He left not too long ago. Without so much as a good bye and I think Sean might have something to do with it. I may owe you nothing but I think he may be going after Sean....and he might be going after that woman of yours.” He let that sink in well enough, gauging Zell's expression.”

by **Zell** August 12th 2013, 1:01 am

"Shara? What about her...why is he after her?" Zell asked, looking up at the head of the Hale family. He honestly would have rather spoken to Brandon, as the little pull in his stomach wasing begging Zell to kill Brandon. He was obviously flustered, even backing to the wall and sliding down it to hug his knees to think.
Niall gave the signal, Lourishna swooped down and latched onto Shara, Lourishna began to fly away with the femme fatal, safety bound. Shara pulled out a pistol and began shooting as she began going up into the air. Sean generated dark energies two orbs. Niall threw a barrier around Sean, anticipating the orbs to blow up in his face. The first orb was stopped and took the barrier with it, whike the other went right for Niall. The suit took big damage, removing the left part of the upper torso and the armor over the right arm. Niall, bleeding but utterly focused, then held up another hand, fully charging a Protonic blast
"You can fuck yourself." Niall spat sending the blaster out at Sean, if not ending him, decimating the ground he stood on in a good diameter. He actually got angry, blood boiling and all.

"Niall and Shara are in trouble....if either of you are interested get in the damn car, if not then youmight want to say your prayers for Sean." Zell said choking back a bit of tears. He got Iinto the car, with any who cared to join him and he drove.

”To kill her likely.” Aaron pulled no punches with that statement. Brandon appeared around the corner noticing Zell, who looked rather angry, if not a bit distressed. In what seemed like a moment he was yelling at the both of them, something about they could come with them or say prayers for Sean. He had no real choice in the matter, a powerful force pulling him from his spot and forcing him to follow Aaron. ”I'm coming with you. Sean's mine to kill.” In that moment he had to kill emotion, let nothing show. He was a steel wall and would allow no weakness to show within his face. He would have to put down his lover, friend and possibly the only person that he could consider to love. He would not show weakness.

”Fuck myself? Is that the best you have?” The blast shot out at him too swiftly for him to dodge, which meant that he would have to bloak, and the Nether was more than eager to comply. It formed a thick black dome around Sean and took most of the attack, and threw up a lot of dust within the process, and in the end Sean was only slightly injured. There were a few burn marks on his left arm, and the sleeve had been burnt away. ”Oh give it to me baby.” He chuckled, making sure to enunciate each word.

He turned to see something flying away with...the girl. ”And there she goes.” In an instant he was gone, after the avian that was attempting to flee with the girl. Nether formed into orbs along his running form, and lashed out like so many bullets at the duo trying to escape, but his arm stung like hell.

by **Zell** August 12th 2013, 1:48 am

Zell saw Lourishna flying in the air, carrying Shara. Zells heart leapt, but elwas crushed when he saw them fall from the sky. Shot down by an orb of dark energy. Zell's eyes widened, began glowing, and turned predatory. He took a sharp turn down the road where they should have landed.

Niall generated a massive barrier, cutting off Seans progress. He couldn't stop the orb, but he succeeded by stopping Sean from chasing after them. If they survived somehow, then they were safe for a second. Niall unleashed the Chest-beam from the suit, hitting Sean or not, it was strong enough to warp the barrier he had just generated. "If you keep your back exposed like that im gonna go at it!" Niall hissed.

The orb hit Lourishna. Zell's feathered friend. The creature that Zell practically called his child. He dropped out of the air. Shara hit the ground, her clothing all ripped, the visor cracked and bleeding from several spots. Lourishna was ddisciplined enough to only let Shara go as they were close to the ground. The landing fractured her ankle and she groaned as she watched Lourishna land. He came down diagonally, crashing into a lightpost, knocking the light over, flipping and spiraling into a brick wall, indenting as the large bird rested inside it. Sean had been cut off by a barrier, and Shara gimled over to her avian ally. The bird crawed and was breathing shallow, stridor tones coming from the pet.

  "Raww..run. mawm." The bird struggled to say. It closed its eyes and went to rest. Then she saw it. Her car! It sped past her at 105 mph.

100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150. 150 Miles per hour. Zell unbuckled his seatbelt, took out a pistol, shot the windshield twice, shattering it utterly. He kept picking up speed. He wasn't stopping. He brought his feet up onto his seat, dropping Shara's purse on the gas pedal. The car kept coming, approaching the barrier Niall generated. Crash. The car folded like a damn lawnchair. Niall projected a barrier around Aaron, but Zell was propelled through the missing windshield. Zell shot out, and he was thrown right into Sean, full bore tackle. Once Zell had Sean pinned, he put the gun under Seans jaw.
"The hell is wrong with you!?" Niall asked.
"The fuck is the purpose of this Sean? What the fuck could you possible get from pulling this shit!?" Zell snapped. Suddenly random black metalic threads began stringing overhim as nanites formed the Hydra skin armor over. A skin tight nanite armor hugging his body and Glowing green eyes boring down into the silvery pools.

Sean could feel his speed increasing, more and more, the Nether coursing through his blood also seeming to increase as his blood pumped faster. That was when a wide spanning barrier blocked Sean's progress, and he turned around long enough to see that the meddling twin had played his hand again. He had asked for it really, not killing Niall before he chased after the two, but then again the girl did take precedence over Brandon's new toy. Also, perhaps somewhere deep down he was hoping to not have to kill him, a last gift to a friend. That would not be the case however, as Sean moved out of the way of the protonic blast as fast as possible, barrier warping under the strain of the powerful weapon.

The bird however was down and the whore looked worst for wear as well, especially with that landing of hers. She didn't quite stick it well, and that ankle looked worst for wear, which meant she wouldn't be running very far now, and that meant less struggling for Sean. All he needed to do was finish punching through this barrier, then kill the whore, or that was what he would do when he saw.....a car. The speed by which it came at Sean was impressive, and yet the vehicle had no sigh of slowing down, and before he knew it, the thing smashed against the barrier like pancake, Sean could feel the transformation already having taken pace. The markings had taken dominance, his blood now black. The Titan was already out to play.

Zell came at him full speed, knocking Sean to the ground, a gun resting against his jaw. His eyes had caught what looked like Aaron floating from the wreckage, unharmed, and Brandon as well. So it seemed his lover would watch Sean kill Shara Uber after all. He demanded to know why Sean was doing this, why he would pull such shit, and those eyes were hard to look away from. They were like that night, and Sean's like his liquid silver eyes bore into Zell's as the hunger overtook him. Even if the young CEO shot him, Sean was already prepared to turn into the black mist.

”So you come at last....” He flashed the younger looking male as best of a smirk as the hold would allow him. ”No....its not you, its him.” The energy coming off of him would have sent Sean's into s state of euphoric pleasure from even this level of contact, but he was only getting a pleasant buzz, which meant he was not putting out enough of that juice. ”What could I get from this? I thought you would know better than that. That you of all people would know why I would do something like this.” His smirk grew dark.”You said it yourself. We're one of a kind you and I.”

by **Zell** August 12th 2013, 12:25 pm

Zell couldn’t answer. He didn’t want to, and he didn’t know how to. He didn’t particularly care to either. He simply pulled the gun away. Niall shot him a glare, Zell suddenly remembered that he wasn’t in a link with Niall or Lourishna. He closed his eyes fro a brief second to try and mentally reconfigure the link. With the success, his eyes opened. His breathing became shallow, he was connected to Niall and Lourishna again. Where there was Niall, who was overjoyed to have the connection once more, there was Lourishna, Lourishna? Louie? Rish…? He called out through his mind. Silence. Zell stood up, turned towards Shara and Lourishna.
”LOUIE!?” There was no answer.

Shara had the bird in her arms, as best as it could fit, and she kept stroking the feathered creature and humming a nice lullaby. The creatures breathing was no longer shallow, no it was not shallow. The breathing of the Ravenheart had stopped altogether. Shara shed a tear as she laid the soft feathered creature to the ground. Sean was killing everything he could get his hands on, and now Zell was the only thing between Sean and her. Shara smiled as she noticed that her cuts had healed, and her fracture had mended as if nothing had happened. She made a full on sprint for her car, swerving, keeping herself in shadows as much as she possible could. Her target, her car. In the trunk seat was a sniper rifle that could prove to be the avenging piece to this puzzle. She reached her car, and with a kick the trunk opened, and she took out the military sniper, and slunk back into the shadows.

Niall saw her making a break for the car, probably for that damned rifle, so he did the only logical thing, he threw up yet another barrier, to keep Sean from getting any ideas. He was pretty bent on killing Shara, and no one seemed to know why. Niall heard Zell cry out for Lourishna. There was no answer. Niall used his suit’s targeting system, and looked into the Ravenheart’s vitals. No pulse. 0% oxygen saturation. The Ravenheart was gone. A flame of loyalty in Zell’s life, a root of his life, and it was killed. Niall and Zell were both furious. Niall went to throw a foot down on Sean’s throat, and crush his trachea.

Zell watched as his beloved slipped into darkness, concealed from all eyes. She made her way out. Her target was a tall building, about a mile away. It was a church steeple, from there she could take off that punks head. Her healing factor really saved her ass in a lot of situations, this being one of them. She cursed Zell at the moment. She recalled a time while he was ‘altering’ the germ of the egg to give the bird a healing factor similar to hers. She stopped at the flashback and started to tear up. “Damnit Zell, I told you…I…told you.” She said, breaking into a little sob. She knew crying about it right now wouldn’t do her any good. No, she was an instrument of vengeance, and her mission was to avenge Lourishna.

Zell turned around, looking back to Sean, whatever he may be at the moment. He cracked his neck, calmed his mind. Like Shara, he viewed his life very simply right now. He was meant to kill Sean. He would kill Sean. Even if it meant giving in…

Zell pulled the gun away, that conflicted look on his face strangely exhilerating. When Zell turned away, he had to gotten off of Sea, and that gave him a little wiggle room, pulling himself away from the rather angry looking male. Progressing from his feet in a circle was what looked like a rapid decay of the concrete around his feet. The ground cracked and sputtered as the nether released by his transformation had begun to release through his feet, and corrupt the very ground he stood upon. The very air was filled with death, and his transformation was complete, but it seemed Zell was busy looking at something else; a dead bird. He could feel its death from here, and it felt wonderful, Sean fed off of it, letting the nether produced strengthen him.

”So it seems that the strange bird is dead.” He muttered nearly silent to himself, arms crossed over his chest. The girl however was still alive. Personally Sean would have taken the bird as a pet, maybe seen what an overexposure of Nether would do to its body, but it wouldn't have died. He knew how to stop something like that, or atleast he did now. Dark knowledge flowed through his mind, knowledge that no mage would ever know within their life of research. Still, what was done was done and could not be undone. Besides, he would have the pleasure killing the woman and her death would feed him nicely, even if that meant moving Zell out of the way. The woman had a rifle, as if that would save her. If she was that stupid, then killing her would only be easier.

”Its dead.” Slowly, as if by will he lifted himself from the ground into the air. His eyes were steely, no longer silver but as hard and cold as steel. With a mental summon, a black blade seemed to appear within his hand, radiating pure nether from the blade, as well as malevolence. ”That makes one.” His voice seemed to reverberate, as if more than one person were talking. However, there was another of those damn sheileds, which meant that Sean would have to kill Niall if he wanted to get anywhere. He kidna liked the guy too, but it couldn't be helped. Perhaps he could do a simple summoning to deal with the girl though, something that would kill her quickly yet painfully. No, he wouldn't need to do anything like that, simply give them a taste of his new physiology.

Sean floated towards the barrier, letting his eyes fall over it for a second, before allowing himself to begin the conversion to Nether mist, in a moment him all his clothing was Nether and it easily moved through the barrier and reformed on the other side. Sean landed and his eyes boring into Shara's. ”So we come to this again. What, are you going to avenge that bird of yours?” He chuckled to himself. The blade drug against the ground, turning the concrete black upon contact as if it were rotting.”Sorry though, gotta finish you quick.” Around him formed eight orbs of grey fire, all of them pulsing. Sean was ready to kill her.

This couldn't be happening. Lourishna was dead. Gone. Finished. Sean ran toward the barrier, turning into mist, bypassing the barrier. Zell was still in shock, lost and unsure of what to do. His mind screamed to kill Sean, but his body refused to move. Niall took off after Sean, moving as fast as he could, which wasn't very fast in that suit. Zell just stood there. To Zell, nothing was as it seemed. Reality had that bronze, rusty and black noir tinge to it. He knew that feeling. It was going to try and take control again. The growl came from behind him. He turned to see the same visage of evil as before. Midnight leathery skin, scales of a grand lustrous quality, glowing conscious eyes and pale underbelly. An eight foot long tail of incredible flexibility and metallic nature. Zell looked at the beast, his heart stopped. It lunged from all fours, pinning him down. The creature ripped pulled out a syringe and tried to plunge the large needle into Zell's eye. Zell was overpowered, the creature ever so slowly was gaining ground, until Zell could almost FEEL the needle barely touching the film of his retina. The creature lowered its head, it opened its mouth to roar, but once again it was only white noise and children's screams. The creature was saying something, but Zell couldn't quite make out what it was. The creatures eyes flashed and Zell suddenly saw all things as they were. The midnight sky...the clouds... the syringe in his hand...and his other hand trying to force it away. Zell tossed it away. That syringe was full of a terrible toxin, one that could kill any human. Zell stood up and swallowed the excess salvia in his mouth.

Shara had made it to the top of the building! Shara glared at Sean. This wasn't going to end here. Not like this. She was prepared to die, but not without taking this bastard with with her. She shot the sniper rifle at him, obviously expecting to fail. She unfulfilled a smokescreen from her belt and dropped it. There was a screen of smoke, and to top it off she was invisible. Meanwhile Niall wasn't going anywhere fast, this was bad.

Zell sluggishly mounted the motorcycle and took off. He went through a series of alleyways intentionally moving in the opposite direction. Zell had enough of this. He stopped in the middle of the alleyway, still able to see Sean. He held out his, as if he were holding a tennis racquet. Misanthropy flew. Shara timed a smokescreen perfectly. Before Sean could process anything he was flying through the air, impaled by the blade. Zell lowered his arm, and the blade flew next to him. Zell grabbed the hilt, reverse style and pulled it out of Sean. A surge of Ethereal Energy courses through Zell, causing him to roar in pain. A bubble of the energy covered Sean, and in seconds it was as if he'd never been damaged, a gift from a 'friend' that Zell could not control.
"I don't think so!" Zell snarled rising Misanthropy over head. "You're mine bitch! he brought the fiercely evil looking blade down, aiming to cleave the titan 's head from his shoulders.

The woman could only run it seemed, in the face of such overwhelming power that was what all humans seemed to resort to. It was either fight or flight, and she had chosen flight. It was fear that drove her and likely a drive to avenge their pet, but Sean help little interest in what motivated lower life forms, what motivated the soon to die. All Aaron could do was watch helplessly from the sidelines, those emerald orbs looking at him with an expression that was very hard to read; even for Sean. Brandon stood by him, the ever dutiful twin. Sean couldn't help but smirk, something about it seeming a bit heart warming. Aaron and his twin could not help now, and Zell seemed the only one fast enough, or perhaps with enough testicular fortitude to try and assault Sean up close.

There was the sound of a shot, and the dreaded bullet would blast towards Sean, unaware of the powerful artifact that had made its with and attached itself to Sean's belt loop within the moment of his tranformation, and in an instant what seemed like a barrier of pure black energy formed to stop the deadly projectile within its tracks. Smoke formed from her spot and Sean sent out of the Werelights to hunt her down. They would deal with the woman while he would have to fight Niall, or so he was prepared to do. There was just too much damn smoke, he couldn't really see. Sean cursed under his breath, though the curse was cut off mid way when something slammed into his stomach. Pain blossomed from that point as Sean's found himself moving through the air, and blood welled up within his mouth. Had he been hit? When had this taken place?

An outline of a hilt protruded from his gut, and the blood tasted like stale copper, making him want to heave. 'Dammit.” Sean cursed as the blood ripped from him and returned to its master, though what looked like a bubble of energy surrounded him and the damage was repaired. He could feel it stitching up, and what seemed like a signifigant amount of life energy surged through him, sending Sean into a brief spasm of ecstasy. All the damage done to him had been undone and it seemed like a certain thing had done so for him, which only confirmed that his course of action was the right one. Still Zell would not give up on his mad attempts at killing Sean and here he was aiming to slice his head from his shoulders, but wouldn't he be surprised?

The blade made contact, though it would meet not reistance as his neck turned to mist, and so did the rest of his head. In a few moments, the head would reform on his neck, a smug grin still on his face. ”Oooooooh, that was close. I think I almost felt that one.” He popped his neck loudly. ”It seems though that you're losing. I can feel it....” Whether or not the werelights had hit the woman, Sean dismissed them and summoned what appeared to be two eastern style dragons. Their eyes were black like rubies, and their breath like black flames. Sean levitated and sat on the head of one, which inclined it to see what had perched itself upon it. ”I think i've played around long enough.” Both took off into the sky, the one carrying Sean kept its gaze upon Zell while the other would fly around Sharas general location.

That was where it would unleash flames that were sure to erase her existence.
