Invidia, The Victim Of Rivalry (OPEN)

Under the dark blue sky and covered by the light from the full moon, was New York, and In the remaining ruins, was Loretta, and boy was she having fun. Celestial blood was splattered everywhere as the woman with the tight leather suit and handguns that never ran out of ammunition cut through small hordes of angels, all of them with the intent of killing her.

"Infinita, foramen, sugentium!" She chanted loudly, as a black sphere appeared in midair and began attracting every angel and piece of rubble around them, then imploded, launching all of them away. Loretta proceeded to chant something else: "Tenebrosi Alatum!" Azazel came through a portal that appeared out of thin air behind her.

Instead of asking questions, he began the process called: "Ripping the only things that are useful from the angels". He began throwing armor, plates, weapons, skin, bones, and some more things that are too disgusting to discuss into the portal.

He left faster than he came, and the portal closed behid him. "Azazel did not lie, the recent catastrophe that happened here attracts them" Loretta said, walking forward, towards a towering ruined building, seeing as it would serve as a perfect place to see if there is more angel activity around.

She summoned Lilith's whip with a gesture and grappled a column in the rooftop, then she launched herself with the weapon and landed gracefully on the platform. A group of fifteen angels was waiting for her.

Loretta reacted immediatly and within five seconds, five angelic heads were blown up and bullets were already flying in the air to blow up five more. She slid under one of them and kicked it in the back, she took out her guns and shot two other angels clean in the head.

She nonchalantly avoided a spear coming towards her head and shot forward, hitting a poor angel in the neck and ripping it's head off. She gestured a slice with her hand and a blade of darkness appeared through a portal and decapitated two angels at the same time. She ended the group with a bullet storm, shooting wildly at all of them.

"I think that may have been a bit overkill" She said, looking at the disfigurated mass of corpses that were once angels. She sat down on the ground and rested her head on a pillar, looking at the beutiful full moon on the sky.

But... was that a figure looking straight towards her in the moon?

Ghost was parachuting down from the sky and looking at his intended target. Loretta. He his task was to simply observe the target and figure out her relations with cosmic beings....like the dead angels on the platform with her.

After he got close enough he would shadow tele behind her on the platform trying to stay in the dark.

In what could best be described as a really bad feeling washing over her, Sarah Milosi was led to New York city to rid herself of this sense of foreboding. Walking through the streets of this part of the city was like walking through a barren wasteland. It was pretty empty around here since the city was still being repopulated at a rather slow, but steady pace. Such a state of being left some parts of the city bustling with activity as it tried to regain its former glory, and other parts as testaments to what was lost.

Sarah kept letting her thoughts wander as she walked down the street until she stepped in something wet on the ground. "Oh, ew." She said as she looked down not to see a puddle of water, or something far more nasty, but some blood next to her shoe. Sarah then saw another drop rain down and looked up to see where it might be coming from. Laying on a part of the fire escape above her was a body, with a large pair of wings attached to its back. Angel almost instantly sprang to her mind, but Sarah chose not to jump to conclusions and instead focus on the fact that there was a body up there. She looked up further to the roof of this building. As if she could see through the eyes of a bird flying through the sky above, Sarah was able to look down at the roof and see more dead bodies lying atop it, and two people up there. Both of them, or at least one was probably responsible for whatever this, this massacre was.

Even from down here, Sarah could get a clear view of these people and what they were doing. One was a rather tall woman wearing a gothic and kind of silly outfit. Seriously, what was that even supposed to be? Strange fashion sense aside, she was also wielding a pair of pistols of sorts. This led Sarah to believe that she had to be involved in whatever this was. The other was a kind of sickly looking man in a hooded outfit that looked like he was trying to follow the woman. They were enemies perhaps? Maybe he was associated with these beings that now lay dead and she was the one that killed them all. That seemed to fit, but didn't mean it was true. So many possibilities lay before her and Sarah didn't want to act hastily for fear of her safety.

Loretta sat up from the ground and looked down on the recently deceased angels, appreciating her handiwork. She began walking towards the center, where an angelic body was slightly shaking, blood covering everything around it.

Instead of feeling pity, she simple took out one of her guns and said: "This is why you never attack a lady" And then she pulled the trigger, releasing at least three bullets in the angel's brain. When she was ready to go to another location in the city, she stretched and looked up.

Was that a long whip heading straight to her face? Indeed it was. Loretta felt it hit hardly against her left cheek, making it have a bright red color. More was coming though, so she made sure to duck, avoiding the weapon from an unknown force.

A seemingly angelic chant was heard around her as a horde, like a big horde of weak angels came into view. She looked above her, and she was not surprised to see that the previous figure came into view aswell. The angel looked strangely human, like Archangel did, not like those minions that looked like birds with human bodies.

"I give you greetings, hunter, killer and murderer of my kind, I am Invidia, I have been sent here to get rid of you at once, but it seems that the troops I sent didn't weaken you at all, I'm not impressed, not at-" Before the obviously superior angel, a bullet to the face interrupted her speech.

"If you came to kill me, I suggest less chatter and more action" Loretta said, posing a battle stance and aiming her guns.

"Come on, let's dance!"

Ghost watched as he slowly pulled out his mac-10's as he was trying to stay hidden. He would then shadow dance into shadow after shadow to try and remain hidden.

If he was found he would just begin shooting at the angels with the thought of I never wanted to do this but...I need the money so fuck it!.

Down on the street below, Sarah kept watch over what was going on at the top of this building before her. This little additional sense power of hers was really helpful at times, and this was displaying itself as one of those times. What it was showing her now was pretty much full confirmation that the strangely dressed woman was the one responsible for this veritable slaughter. It was kind of confirmed when she shot one that was still alive in their head. Sarah had no way of telling if they were actually angels, but she could surely tell that the were no longer alive.

"Okay, what to do, what to do?" Sarah mused to herself in her mind as she continued to watch was going on up above. Perhaps she should go up there and handle things in a more direct manner. Do something before any more of those angel looking things were harmed. Speaking of more of them, here be more of them almost out of nowhere. Alongside them was one that appeared to be their leader. A brief conversation between it and the woman began that Sarah was unable to hear a word of occurred before a battle between them started to ensue.

With more fighting going on up above, Sarah figured that this was getting well out of hand. "Oh, screw it." she said before heading inside and hurrying up the staircase to get to the roof. The strangely dressed woman and the angel thing were locked in a fight that would then be interrupted when Sarah generated a barrier of energy between them. "Alright, enough of whatever this is." She said to the two of them to get their attention. "Also, before you start arguing, I'll have you know that you're being watched." she stated as she pointed in the direction that the hooded man was in, though not at the exact spot where he was. All that teleporting was making it difficult to monitor his location along with keeping an eye on the strangely dressed woman and the angel thing.

"Yeah, yeah, I saw him a long while ago. Parachuting down isn't the stealthiest approach you know, your shadow was everywhere! Loretta said, looking at the hooded man lurking in the shadows. Instead of waiting to see the barrier removed, Loretta extended and arm and bright beam of light pierced through it. "Now, back to bussiness" She said, and lunged for the angel, who still was stunned by the bullet to the face.

Loretta jumped and kicked her with both legs, then stood on her body and jumped. You are going to love this!" She said as she fell, and as soon as she landed on the body, she began jumping towards an angel. Loretta snapped her fingers, and Archangel's wings sprouted out from a portal in her back. When in midair, she began shooting at every angel in eyeshot.

Once every angel in front of her was exterminated, she lunged back to Invidia. But alas, confidence is quite the bitch to deal with. The Illuminatia's whip wrapped around her waist and threw her to the ground hardly, but the angel wasn't done, she came down with a punch pulsating light.

Thankfuly, Loretta cut off the whip with a quick slice of Azazel blade and dodged back, but this did not help the situation. The second the punch connected, the whole building crumbled under them, the floors separating as the angel came smashing down to ground level.

When Loretta fell, a briliant idea was planted in her brain. "Infinita!" The black sphere formed. "Foramen!" It began pulling everything towards it. She did not chant the last phrase as it would draw everything in faster, instead, the platforms seemed to fall slowly, while surrounding Abbaddon. The ball grew larger as more things went into it, slowing the platforms down more.

She landed gracefuly on her knees, while the angel fell hard in the platform. The Illuminatia jumped back and began flying, and then called every single one of the angels that were also falling.

Loretta got into her battle stance, and taunted: "Come on, let's tango!"

Ghost who was in his suit (should of mentioned that) pulled his mac-10's out and also began shooting at the angels as he shadow danced between the platforms.

If any angels got to close he would simply dodge and then touch them with his energy draining touch

The act of interfering in this battle between some strange people was because of a desire for answers. Sarah Milosi wanted to know what was even going on up here. A slaughter had occurred and was looking like it was going to continue, and Sarah wanted to know why. So she sort of stuck her nose where some might say it didn't belong, and attempted to put a stop to all of this.

A wall of almost transparent energy that she had made herself now stood between the two opposing parties, an overdressed woman and some large winged man. Unfortunately for her, neither of these two were interested in even a brief discussion. Violence seemed to be their only course of action and the energy wall that she put up was just torn down to ensure that more violence would ensue. More violence is exactly what would come next. Sarah couldn't make rhyme nor reason of any of it for she had no clue who was who in this situation. No, she wasn't going to take part in this nonsense. She wanted answers, and a solution to this apparently problem, no matter what it took to get them.

This time she generated a much larger and more durable barrier that flew around and individually surrounded everybody else present. One that would not simply break like the last one did. Sarah then waited a few seconds to allow everybody to take notice of what she had just done and cleared her throat to speak once more. "Okay, now I want to know what's going on here. Just so you know, I don't trust any of you here. I'll take you all on if it means putting a stop to all of this if I have to. Somebody talk, now." She shouted out to everybody else that was there.

The sound of shouting a screaming rang in his ears like that of sweet music. Rembrandt turned his head to listen as it was evident the body underneath him would be screaming no more. He knelt on the cold hard as the blood began to pool around his knees. Still listening to the shouting and screaming he slowly climbed to his feet pulling his knife form the chest of the man below as he did so. The sound was hypnotizing to him, he closed his blackened eyes and lifted his head, he body growing relaxed at the sound. His leather jacket almsot slipped form his shoulders as they grew soft and sunken. suddenly the sounds of shouting were gone. All Rembrandt could hear was that of conversation and fighting. "damn heroes ruing all the fun" He said to himself with words spit like venom. His body grew stiff once more as he set off running towards the source of the fighting.

He soon found himself on a rooftop. his white, painted face almost glowing in the moonlight. He was an ominous sight tonight to say the least. His torso was bare save for a mass of electrical tape binding his body and his leather jacket covering that, all of which was soaked in blood. He watched as the three others on the rooftop did battle though his real focus was on the mass of bodies strewn about the place, whoever had done this had Rembrandt both jealous and in love.

Suddenly a force field or barrier covered the surrounding area, Rembrandt included. "Okay, now I want to know what's going on here. Just so you know, I don't trust any of you here. I'll take you all on if it means putting a stop to all of this if I have to. Somebody talk, now" One of the woman on the rooftop was shouting to the people fighting. She was interrupting his fun. This made his blood boil and he quickly pulled his pistol from the back of his trousers. A terrifying grin curled on his lips, lips that were black as ink. He charged out from behind his hiding spot and began firing his gun wildly and laughing maniacally. This was sure to get things going again. He ran towards the woman closest to him, the one that had cast the spell. she was going to be the first to die.

Loretta let out a sigh the second she was stopped... again. She looked at the woman with the dirtiest look she ever gave. "I don't know why they're here either... I'm only here doing my job, but you're stopping my bussiness" The Witch said, looking at the woman, waiting for her to lift the barriers and fulfill her duties.

A man showed up, his blade was bloodied with blood, angelic blood no less. If she was right, she was liking the man. When he saw him lunge towards the barrier-woman, she fired a shot towards the space beetween them. A small hole appeared in the barrier, a hole that quickly closed. The bullet hit the ground hardly, distracting everyone.

She looked around at everyone, angelic woman last. "Since Ms.Moodkiller is not going to let us free until we settle matters down... Who are you exactly? Who sent you? What did you come here to do?" She said.

"I have already told you, the name He gave me was Invidia, and the title He bestowed upon me is "The Victim Of Rivalry". I was once one of your kind, a meesly human, killed by jealousy and Envy, I am one of the Great Holy Illuminatia" The woman figure said. "And this I have told you too, I was sent by Him in a holy mission to Purge you from this Realm" The energy in the hole in the back of her head shone brightly as she explained her so-called "Holy Mission".

"I guess that's enough evidence to kill you then!" Loretta slammed her heels in the barrier and broke through it. She drew her guns and provoked the Illuminatia by shooting her gun at one of the bigger angels. She turned to the human beings behind her. "Now, shut up and help me with these idiots!"
