Chapter 1 - Splinter of the Mind's Eye

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
A tall man with dark hair stands at the top of Ichorous tower set in the river Styx, looking down upon Kurai and Charash. His sword is held low and ready in his steady hand, clean and shining.

"Is that so?"

The man leaps down from the tower, bringing his sword in a hissing silvery arc down upon Kyi, who rolls out of the way into the sludgy water. The strike obliterates the unfinished Bridge over the Styx, sending the chunks of stone to sink upon the gloomy and restless dead.

"Wha- What the Hell's that about?" Charash demanded. Onizuka looked up at him, twisting the sword in his grip and bringing it into a defensive diagonal stance.

"I'm still mad at her."

[Jack]

(Kurai)
heh...

*Kurai confronts Onizuka with her large black wings now stretched out to make her look bigger*

you're mad at me eh? all those years ago...i almost have forgotten...

*stands in a fighting stance prepared for anything as her eyes glow in the moonlight*

if your mad at me why not battle it out and see who rules? if i loose you get this level of hell again...if you loose you must obey me under my comand...

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
Onizuka feints with the sword, a quick, upward slash, as he cuts his right palm on the blade. Tossing aside the useless sword, he pulls out a quarter-scroll from his vest and slams his bloody hand onto the thin paper, sticking it to the stone he stands on. The splatter of blood forms into a complex grouping of seals and symbols, and seconds later the seal erupts in smoke, enveloping Onizuka and the surrounding waters. "Summon skill Kazemane no Jutsu!"

Kurai backs a distance away from the cloud of smoke, trying to see through the haze at what Onizuka is doing. A huge, hideous shape peers back at her, standing up from its crouched summon position. The God-Warrior is 80 meters tall, with a superheated core that powers a fierce intelligence. The small jewels set into the forehead of it ghastly face emit beams which can obliterate anything they lock onto.

A maw of huge teeth stretched at strange angles as the creature woke. Designed by God as the Ultimate instrument of destruction, who would in time destroy the world in only seven days, the Creature rose on glowing wings of energy and let loose a beam of hideous nuclear energy, instantly drying the Styx, turning the dead into crumbling ash, and creating a burning light which killed all that it touched.

Kurai, only partially affected by the torrent, shielded her body with her wings as the blast washed over her. She could see Onizuka, who stood on the shoulder of the God-Warrior, pressing his palm to the bloody seal stuck to the warrior's skin.

The God-Warrior then opened his cannon again and fired, and there was no time for thinking.

[Jack]

(Kurai)
*thinking fast yet slow in a reverse motion time changes as all in the area are effected by the slow of time she moves with ultra fast speed snapping the jewel in the creatures forehead in peices, whipping back her wings flying in the air makes a dangerous tornado making everything fly around them...dust and mud fly in Onizuka's eyes making his vulnerable, twisting and turning she lands on the ground in a new form that is undescibable as she slits cuts in Onizuka all over his body without even coming near him, she never stops moving*

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
Onizuka cries out in pain and releases his hand from the bloody Summoning contract. The God-Warrior makes a sighing sound, and dissappears, turning to mist and empty smoke. Onizuka begins a long fall from the 80 meter postion he had held, buffered by the winds of Kurai's tornado.

Onizuka spreads his arms and lets himself be carried in the direction of the winds, blinking through the blood that streams down from a superficial cut on his forehead. He continues his downward spiral, catching onto what is left of the cracked Blood tower, standing alone in what was once a riverbed.

Had more small rocks or stones been present he would have been shredded by the maelstrom, but after the God-Warrior's blast all that was left was painfull scouring dust. Kurai halted her helix, letting the Tornado subside, and glares down from the air at Onizuka.

The top of the Blood tower is 15 meters tall. Kurai drifted lazily in the air nearly 60 meters up. "Well, are you going to prove you're worth killing and come down and fight like a true demon?" Kurai smirked from her elevated position.

[Jack]

(Kurai)
*she smirks again and floats down in amuzement* well well...a little hurt are we...i don't understand you...you should be tougher than this...

*lands on the ground and Onizuka is kneeling obviously hurt she kicks him in the gut making him lie down in pain then steps on his throat making the pressure rush to his brain as she makes a sword appear that looks ancient and places it where his jewel used to be* now...will you yield?

[Jack]

(Serena)
Enters and finds Onizuka lying on the ground she flys down ot his side and slowly places her hands over his body and watches him glow as his wounds heal and he rgains his full power back and looks down at him with tears in her eyes.

She turns to Kurai and looks at her with tears streaming down her face.

"H-how could you do this..."

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
With a quick jerk of his head, Onizuka catches the end of her sword with his teeth and bites down, taking off a four inch portion of cold metal. He stands up and spits the tip of the sword back at her, which she slapped away with a bat of her wing.

"Always underestimating us just because we're mortal.."

In a blur of speed Onizuka catches her powerfull wings, one in each hand, as she reflexively jerks them back. Onizuka uses the added momentum to bring up his legs and drop-kick Kurai in the face. Letting go and rapidly spinning into a backflip, Onizuka lands on the ground where he stood moments before, while Kurai is thrown back several feet.

Kurai uses the broken shaft of the sword to prop herself back up into a sitting position. A thin line of blood is coming from her nose. She tosses aside the blade and wipes the blood from her face.

"Fine then, have it your way." She bursts of the ground with her own insane speed and slams into Onizuka, bearing him through the air untill they both slam into the rock face of the distant catacombs. As she pulls back from the crater she made using Onizuka's body she notices something strange...It's not just blood on his body..but stripes..

A half-emerged Tiger demon leaps out of the crater with liquid grace, catching Kurai with steely paws and bearing her to the ground to form her own crater.

[Jack]

(Kurai)
*her eyes widen a bit then as she's in a crater of her own throws back the tiger being with emence force as her eyes glow blood red now getting irritated* you shouldn't have done that...

*she bursts into white then clear flames melting everything for miles into molten lava, the tornado grows more powerful as those who are on the ground struggle to stay on the ground she walks a death walk to Onizuka taking some of her own life force away she jams her fist hard into the ground/molten lava tearing everything away infront of her...Onizuka flys back with just the force as he becomes scorched and burned from the ground that falls on him, taking her broken sword she replaces it as if it were new once again and plunges it hard into his leg* yeild or i will kill you!

[Jack]

(Serena)
*sighs looking down at the ground and begins to walks away slowly and jumps into the air flying behind the tower and slowly dissappears*

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
Although pinned by the sword, he is very close to Kurai. He grabs her by the shoulders and slams his forehead into her face, kicking her out of the way with his free leg.

As she gets up he pulls the sword from his leg and stands, feeling no pain, as the mortal adrenaline runs through him that immortals lack. He kicks her again with his good leg and then cleaves off one of her wings with the broken and bloodied sword.

Almost drained of strength, he falls off of his bloodied leg and onto Kurai, closing his strong tiger-like arms around her thin neck and beggining to throttle her with the last of his power.

[Jack]

(Kurai)
*screams out in one sharp breath of pain she takes in her strength from with in and starts to drain his with her power, she rolls her eyes back feeling this humans power flow in her and out of him her wings revive and heal as his grip loosens she touches her face as it too starts to heal, taking the last of his energy she coughs hard and breathes deep*

you...are a very skilled human....but you can not defeat me that easily...for lucifers blood runs through me...

*Onizuka's eyes widen in shock and fear from the name, his body unable to move and his angel no where to be found, all he can do is listen as she stand up before him...he finally sees the reflected image of lucifer* now...i accept my defeat to you hum,an...you are aloud to take the 5th level of hell...and treat it as your home..

[Jack]

(Onizuka)
"Thanks!" he says, wiping some of the blood from his face, and then giving Kurai a big hug.

[Jack]

(Kurai)
*wonders if she has done the right thing to give it to a hugging human* uh...heheh hmmm ok yeah...your welcome....*hugs back confused a little bit as she gives him more strength to heal himself as she has already recovered*

[Jack]

(Alucard)
*Alucard enters his throne room, reclaiming control of Dis after a long time away.*
