*With no arms, or anything else to defend himself with, Jacob gave up trying to attack the demon. Instead, he closed his eyes, ignoring the intense pain as he muttered things under his breath.*
*There was one half empty vial on the ground in front of her... so luck hadn't completely abandoned Inazuma. It wouldn't be enough to completely revive her, but maybe mend a bone or two. As she snatched it up, she realized she was in the middle of a completely decimated Limbo military outpost... dead soldiers, torn apart weapons and protective suits, and great chunks of barricade were scattered everywhere.*
*As soon as she was able to stand again, the hunger demon was upon her, ready to try and tear her apart.*
- - - - -
*Veni's explosive arrow had devastating results. Several of the demons blew apart in balls of flame, spreading the fire onto more of the crowd. At least ten or twenty of the shadow goblins met their fiery end. *
*It was at this time though, that a blade suddenly drove itself through the back of Veni's head, stopping as it jutted out of his nose. Several more pierced through his arms and stomach, before he was thrown towards the ground. Whatever was on the blades burned... it felt like fire was suddenly coursing through his veins. Yaotli snarled a bit... normally the venom would've been enough to make most mortals scream as their skeletons melted... He didn't slow his assault one bit, immediately coming after Rosemary with his blade, attempting to stab her in the face to temporarily stun her before attempting to disable her.*
*The soldiers hadn't heard the niearcim sneaking his way through their ranks. Dieamos and the other demons were a massive distraction, as were the black hunters. Yaotli had used a good chunk of his focus to make himself damn near invisible to just about everything except the most powerful angels in existance.*
- - - - -
*Ji'mosli could only shake her head, as she carefully placed Black on her back, and too her back to the bunker. Esme crawled ontop of Black's head and curled up there. Things were getting worse outside, and she didn't want the kitsune injured.*
Ji'mosli: They'll bring your friend back, safe and sound dear...
- - - - -
*Dieamos actually managed to time his hit, and smacked the comet towards the military's barricade and shields. The barrier put up by the faries and Sephiroth took a major hit, and the creatures started to assault the weakspot where the comet had struck. Dieamos was still wounded though, suffering a few broken fingers. Grunting, he straightened them out, and waited for them to heal, still keeping up his attack with his other hand. The abomination then noticed that Inazuma had left...*
Dieamos: (Telepathy to Hi) Inazuma has left the encampment. I will go give chas...
Hi: (Telepathy to Dieamos) No, destroy that outpost. I'll send some others after that b***h. Finish them off now, so they won't get in my way later...
Dieamos: As you wish.....

*Yaotli laughed, a speeding blade knocking the gun out of Rosemary's grip. the gunshot wounds in his gut simply sealed on their own. He had only flinched slightly when he had been shot.*
Yaotli: My dear, you'll have to do MUCH better then that.
*A green fog surrounded his form as he rushed at her with an flurry of blade swipes. He moved with enough speed and accuracy to be able to deflect most of her blows, while attempting to strike some of his own. The dark green fog would then seep into her injuries, weakening her greatly...*
Yaotli: You know, if you come along peacefully, maybe you can still keep your husband with you. Otherwise, we'll just have to dispose of him...
- - - - -
*Distracted by a blast from one of the soldiers more powerful weapons, Dieamos failed to notice the comets flying at him, until it was too late. The force of impact from all three sent him tumbling away... a number of demons were obliterated from the blast.*
*Dieamos, however, was not. The most he seemed to suffer were torn wings, one broken, and a number of cuts and scrapes all over. Getting up, the demon murmured something, black energy being drawn out of thin air and into his claws. A massive orb was formed, much like the ones the shadow goblins used to paralyze their prey, but on a much larger scale. The orb of black magic was hurled at the barrier, and for a few seconds, the soldiers could only see absolute darkness. This faded as they saw the black energy taking form into massive maggots, clinging tightly to the barrier and gnawing away at it's essence.*
- - - - -
*The hunger demon was no longer intelligent enough to defend itself properly, and suffered another massive electrical shock. This one knocked it off it's feet. As Inazuma rushed into view of Jacob and the demon attacking him, green thorn-ridden tendrils wrapped around her ankles, slamming her into the ground. They came from the sides of the niearcim she thought she had killed. They squeezed around her legs tight enough to draw blood and possibly cause fractures, as they swiftly lifted her again, and made her eat dirt. The b*****d mage was walking towards her, his head still twisted around backwards. With a sickening crack, he jerked his skull the right way around, and let out of stream of black energy towards Inazuma... skulls and tortured faces seem to shift out of the beam, and their screams filled the air*
Cipactli: Die, angel... Bother us no more.
Jacob: Inazuma, MOVE!
*Jacob knew what that spell was... The Stream of the Damned. Another niearcim had used it back in Limbo during one of BlackMN's visits, and damn near destroyed several buildings in an attempt to hit him. The blasted thing could easily tunnel through hundreds of feet of thick metal. Praying she got out of the way in time, Jacob returned to his arcane murmurs.*

*A quick flick of Yaotli's wrist, and one of Rosemary's hands were severed. The appendage fell to the ground, zipping by Veni on it's way down. He quickly disarmed the vampire, and lifted her up by her hair*
Yaotli: I tried to be nice, but you insisted on being troublesome.
*His head suddenly darted forward, small teeth piercing the skin on her face. It took her a second to realize that he was pumping her full of some venom. When he finished, he yanked her head away with all the gentleness of an angry rabid dog.*
Yaotli: You put up a rather decent fight though. Still, not enough for Jiluzix to go through all this trouble if you ask me. You're impressive...
*A clawed finger traced her face, before ripping a flesh wound from her left eye, down her check. He then made the mark of the Niearcim over the damaged eye socket. He snickered, since it made her look like a niearcim mage.*
Yaotli: At any rate, you resisted. Which means, I will dispose of that pathetic creature you called a husband.
*He lifted the now extremely weakened Rosemary over his shoulder, and leapt down to the branch where Veni was. He drew a dagger with his free hand, and made sure Rosemary could see*
Yaotli: You know, you are both such beautiful creatures. It gives me great joy to disfigure you both...
*The sickening stab of the blade entering Veni's skull could be heard, and the niearcim slowly dragged the weapon down... through his face, his neck, ripping at the flesh of his chest... until his rib cage was exposed. He lifted the dagger, and poised it over the vampire's beating heart*
Yaotli: Any last words, you two?
BLAM!
*The niearcim lost his grip on the blade, letting it fall to the ground below them... he also dropped Rosemary, as he was slammed against the trunk of the tree. A huge gaping hole was in his stomach, bleeding a dark yellow ichor.*
Trabb: You're not taking them with you.
*The soldier took aim with his sniper rifle again, but missed. Yaotli had vanished, and suddenly appeared in front of Trabb. Daggers tore away at Trabb's protective suit, and blood soon flew through the air. Yelling in pain, Trabb managed to fire another shot, forcing the b*****d back*
- - - - -
*The boulder was torn apart, as if a ballistic missile had exploded from the inside of it. Shards of rock and dirt went flying everywhere, as the stream continued breaking through into the ground.*
Cipactli: BE SILENT, JACOB!
*The sudden jerk of motion made the niearcim nearly trip, but he recovered as he used the Stream of the Damned to sever his own tendril limbs, ignoring the violent sprays of blood as the severed things retracted into the sides of his chest. He then unholstered something as he ran towards Inazuma... it seemed like it was a handgun in shape for a moment, but it was something far more dangerous. It was a strange creature, held much like any pistol firearm, with jagged bones, black-red skin, and a mouth dripping with gore. Activating it, Cipactli let loose a massive spray of incredibly potent acid towards Inazuma.*
*Jacob was about to pass out, but struggled not to... he had to finish his incantations. He watched as Inazuma fought with the niearcim mage, her necklace starting to glow ever so slightly. A bit surprised, but pleased, he continued his chanting.*

*There already was a burning sensation coursing through Rosemary's body from the wounds she received from the poisoned swords, but the venom from Yaotli's bite added on horrible stabbing pain. Her body tensed up and she forced it to relax so it would hurt less...I can't move...The vampire glared at him after he yanked her head away from him, tearing some of the flesh on her face in the process with his teeth. She wondered if the mage knew about her mind skills she had failed to use.*
*A clawed finger ruined her left eye. The right eye barely flinched as it continued to glare at him as he marked her. The look of contempt she was giving him didn't help her not to look like one of them. She desperately wanted to touch her face with her remaining hand to see if he did what she thought he did.*
*She tried to speak to the mage, but she couldn't speak either due to the wound that didn't finish healing in her throat or from the paralis effect of the venom. What she wanted to say when he tossed her over his shoulder and headed down the tree, but wasn't willing to use telepathy for was, "You b*****d! You never bound yourself to your word, which I know you mages know how to do to prove to me that you wouldn't kill him if I stopped resisting."*
*She looked at Veni in despair as the mage cut him open and exposed his rib cage and his beating heart like some frog in biology whose child who was dissecting him failed to kill him first. Helpless to do anything to stop Yaotli, Rosemary could only watch her husband get butchered and apologized in his head over and over again. Not only was she physically hurt, but also she was also emotionally hurting as Veni's damaged form was etched into her brain. She wanted to kill the man holding her. She started to feel drowsy, but didn't know why.*
*Veni hadn't really recovered from the surprise attack Yaotli unleashed on him earlier. In fact he still had the first blade stuck in his cranium. When Yaotli's blade went into his skull, Veni's back arched up and his head bent back. The pain was so great as the mage slid the blade down him that he couldn't concentrate on anything else. Rosemary's voice got through though, but his brain was so damaged he couldn't reply.*
BLAM!
*The Niearcim mage was off him, but he still felt the burning wounds in key places and felt like he should be dead. He lifted his hands to the sides of his head since it felt like it should split in two if he didn't.*
*Rosemary fell to the ground. The bats returned to her and attached themselves to her hair becoming the strands that they once were. A black substance crept towards her handless arm. The smoke surrounded it and formed her hand and reattached itself. None of her other wounds were getting better except for the fact that if they haven't stopped bleeding it had slowed. She started blinking her ye. She couldn't keep it open. it finally closed and it didn't open again. Now unconscious, she writhed and moaned in her sleep from the pain of the poisons and the dream she had of Yaotli finishing what he started by giving Veni the final stab.*

*Trabb was bleeding, badly. The suit barely managed to cover up the slashes on his chest and stomach. He fell to his knees, his weapon dropping out of his weakened grasp. He tried to reach the weapon again in a panic. Meanwhile, the niearcim was dealing with a nasty hole below his heart, growling in pain and rage*
Trabb: BACKUP! Need BACKUP! We got a niearcim INSIDE this damned MMMMRRRRK!
*A dagger had stabbed from the bottom of his jaw, up to his nose, effectively sealing his mouth shut. He twitched, wanting to scream from the pain that even his suit's medical nanites couldn't block out. Yaotli sneered as he gripped Trabb around the throat, and lifted him in the air. Using one of his many blades, he quickly jabbed the suit's collar in several places. It immediately began to spark and smoke, before falling apart, the black metal nanite solution sliding off Trabb's defenseless form. The man almost resembled a grey alien, save for his light blue skin tone, and large human-esque eyes.*
*Yaotli didn't waste anymore time. His free hand punched a hole through the man's ribcage, making him release a muffled scream in terror and pain. His fist was then replaced with his mouth, as he started to devour his innards in a rapid manner, tossing his dying remains to the side. Yaotli's various injuries started to heal quickly again, just in time to find himself surrounded by several soldiers*
Krel: No... you b*****d. You SICK ******** b*****d! I'LL TEAR YOU APART FOR THIS!
*Yaotli laughed mockingly as he pulled his daggers out of Trabb's dying body. Krel snapped, running at him screaming as he fired his assault rifle, his shots mostly missing his target due to his brief loss of insanity. Several of his fellow soldiers tried to stop him, some opening fire on Yaotli. The mage simply rose a wall of bone and stone from the ground to block most of their shots, and waited until Krel was nearly in his face before acting. The veteran soldier had dropped his now empty assault rifle, and was pouncing at him with his suit's glove blades.*
*Krel never fell... he hung there, in the air, a look of frustration and shock locked on his face. A massive stalagmite had bursted out of the ground, made of hooks, chains, corpses, and metal all melded together. It burst through his abdomen, immediately obliterating most of his vital organs. Tears ran down his face, not being able to avenge the death of so many of his soldiers, his friends. He died, chocking on his own blood while still reaching for the Niearcim's throat.*
*And then, a grenade was thrown towards the protective bone wall. It made contact, and activated, and explosion reducing it to shards and splinters. Yaotli only had time to clear his vision before he found himself impaled by a metal spear through his chest. It pinned him to a nearby tree.*
*Minazi stood there, Githar leaning on her for support... he had lost one of his legs to one of the attacking demons. Seeing what Yaotli had down to Rosemary and Veni, she simply glared at him with silent anger. The soldiers didn't waste a second. Thousands of rounds were pumped into the mages body... at first, a demonic shield had gone up in a desperate attempt to defend himself, but Yaotli soon found himself being pounded by rifle rounds, shells, and various energy fire... It tore at his clothing and flesh, shaking him violently like a ragdoll as he still tried to remove the spear that had struck him, and wondered why the thing burned... until he saw that it had been attached with holy charms.*
*His life ended in seconds, as most of the military's shots were placed in his chest and head. They quickly grabbed Rosemary, Veni, and any other wounded and ran from Yaotli's corpse. It shuddered fiercely, Yaotli's flesh catching flame and turning black. It burst apart from his gangly skeleton, which wrapped around the tree, corrupting it's essence. Blood dripped from the plant, as tortured faces grew from the bark. It then shot high up into the air, a geyser of lava shooting out of the ground beneath it. Fiery bits of molten rock and tree parts rained down, as the geyser slowly sunk back into the ground, only to be be covered as the earth "healed" itself.*
Soldier:... s**t. Get these two some anti-venom and into the bunker, now!
