Zephius raised his shield to deflect the flames and thrust his spear through smoldering blaze into Sirigoth's hand. As he did this his out line glowed and another Zephius flashed out wielding his sword glowing brilliantly. "You shall be blessed by holy presence my lost one. Die surrounded by the object of your envy and accept this gracious defeat!"

"He attempted to invade? Lord..." Alexandra ran her fingers through her hair, sighing. This couldn't be more unhelpful. "You certainly picked the best people to piss off..." She smirked. "But if you alone can survive one encounter... Which one is his right hand?"

The Demon Lord watched up at Zephius, slowly floating back up to his level. He laugh, a harsh and cruel sound, "You are a fool Zephius, making more of yourself does nothing but add more targets to hit." Grinning, teeth bared, the Demon Lord launched himself forward, his blade leading the way with blinding speed.
Down beneath the aerial battle the Demons resumed their assault on Aelb. While the Demonic forces had suffered heavy casualties they felt no pity nor remorse for their fallen comrades. They push heavily into the city, throwing the full might of the army against them, the elite Demonic forces pushing their way through. Above the city itself balls of fire and acid rained down upon the now burning city. A large force of undead Dragons and other flying monsters rained down upon the city. Assaulting the defenders from every angle. There was no escape for the inhabitants of Aelb.

Zephius grinned, as the Demon Lord laughed. True, he may be hiding the reason why, but he was indeed glad to see more of such a glorious sight. Who wouldn't be? Except that mangy youth...
One of Zephius' swords blazed towards Sirigoth, and the other dropped lower only to rise up from under the demon with his spear, piercing through the dark like the righteous ray of hope that it was.
Over Aelb, the angelic light flashed through the foot ranks of the demons and the spears and swords rang through to fight them hand to hand. Some angels fell and others fought all the harder for it.
From the skies angelic archers with their deadly bolts fired through the thick ranks just to see the holes close up by the massive numbers. Other archers targeted the over head flying threats while more armed soldiers flew upwards with their spears to pierce and obliterate the undead dragons.
Aelb soldiers focused on keeping as many demons out of the city as they could and keeping the citizens safe.
It appeared hope remained with the angel lord himself.
Meanwhile in the city streets of Aelb, King Mileo marched through the streets with his honor guard and slayed any stray demons. An ambush of half a dozen demons raged towards them, but it ended quickly. "Sir! You're bleeding!" said one of his soldiers. "Its fine, I wasn't always a politician... once upon a time I fought just as you do... but the demons.... That damn Hiro and his stubborness... Why did he have to go and anger Zephius? Wasting our soldiers on a siege...."

Hiro laughed, "I wanted to unite Ira.. I thought if I could convince Aelb and Canni to stop fighting, then together with the help of Daunt we could hold Ira for ourselves... I had only asked to get the bridge removed so my people could stop worrying about brigands and Northern Wars... it was as if he didn't hear me. He proposed an alliance between my people and Aelb, something I would have been glad to give if it wasn't to destroy Canni." He growled now, "If Ira is to have peace it will not come from Angels or Demons, but from the absence of their corruption and evil... If we're lucky Sirigoth and Zephius will kill each other." Hiro's glowing eyes closed now as he shook his head, "But it won't be that simple. We all know it... You do I'm sure. We, that is Tempest and Hiro know it, and even Lunas whose only connection to Ira is me knows it. Hell... Luvaran knew it too I'm sure. He still does.... Thats why he gave us this task... He gave his life for Ira to be saved from Angels, and not so the demons could come shortly after and take it for themselves!"
They turned to Alex and looked her straight in the eye, "If we want peace we will have to once again take it ourselves."
Their claw glowed and he slammed it into the ground, "Watch me back for a moment please."
Feeling Lunas there, he called him for help and his knives burrowed through the ground towards the demonic warlock, before rising up all around him, burning with fury. "You want to know where he is?" Hiro asked Alex, "right.... over..... there!" The fires, although relatively small, were visible as they flashed. "Let's go!" yelled Hiro as he began his charge.

Arion lowered his body closer to the ground and stomped heavily into the dirt, crushing through the skull of a tripped and now dead demon. He quickened his pace and rushed headlong through the crowds, a black shadow moving like death itself and leaving a path of dead bodies just the same.
He noticed Hiro and Alex up in the air, but made no effort to join them up there. He kept low to the ground and used none of his combat skills aside from the normal melee combat of a soldier. His keen eyes noticed the flashing fire ahead of him, and he deduced that Hiro had marked a target with his burning knives. Arion side-stepped and began running in a clockwise direction, using the marked target as his center-point and eventual end. He began to slowly close in on the target, his blood-edged eyes unblinking as he calculated the possibilities.
He eventually stopped about 300 feet at the man's six o clock, standing upright and locking his eyes onto the back of the target.
However, he withdrew into a forest edging nearby and hid, once again watching only.
He drew in a dry breath, closed his eyes for a long moment, then opened them again and began to watch.

Alexandra shook her head. "I would expect more of children of heaven, but I suppose corruption touches all..." She sighed.
"I know..."
She stared right back, grim determination in her face. "A shame that Peace will be bought in blood..."
"You got it!" She swung her hands up, crossing her fans high above her head, triggering the spell she'd held for what felt like too long. A shower of light fell over her and she slipped into her valkyrie form. Her fans faded away, replaced by a broadsword at her back. She started to drop from the air, her method of staying aloft shifting- white wings sprung from her back. Alexandra looked like an angel in her white runed armor, fluffy wings and pale skin. She stabilized and followed Hiro in, drawing her sword from its sheath. The dancer in her was gone now; the support she needed had already been bestowed upon them.
She lit the opposing forces around her, coating her sword in the light-fed flame she had used earlier. The sun shone here, away from the portal. It exploded in its furiousity, consuming and spreading among the demons, who shrank away from the light fire and were over taken by it. She smiled under the hood that shadowed her face, soft and mournful. The fire was easier to control in this form, though all currently living, aside from Hiro and Arion, were a threat. Alex let it go and do as it pleased, indescriminant. It quickly spread, felling and clearing the way to her intended target.

Arion kneeled low to the ground and watched from the darkness of the treeline as Hiro and Alex moved towards the marked man. But he felt uneasy.
"This isn't going to end well", he spoke out loud - even though he was alone, it felt like he needed to say it.
His eyes, however, continued to watch with a cold and calculating stare. He rested his halberd against his shoulder and decided to sit. He pulled an apple, seemingly from nowhere, and bit into it. Leaning comfortably against a tree, he stared out... something about the target felt...hidden.

The Demon Lord easily parried the two blows, blocking the blade with his own, igniting it with searing fire to force the Angel Lord away, and he blocked the spear tip with his shield, smashing at the spear in such an angle that the tip would simply bounce away, leaving the Angel Lord off balance. Using his immense strength shoved the weapons away causing what must surely end in the two Angels being off balance. Instead of trying to hit both, the Demon decided to focus on killing one at any moment. So as he moved away from the center behind one of the Angels he smashed with his shield, aiming to bash it's head in, and cut up with his blade, aiming for between the ribs.
Down beneath the two titans the dark cloaked form simply stood there as the two attacks smashed into him, shredding him to his form to pieces. However instead of blood and gore, a faint black mist was all that was left. From within the crowd the Warlock had watched the two combatants try to come at him. Illusions were such an easy trick. He had sensed their power. For while they were much stronger than he, they did not have an army at their backs as did he. Using his dark magic, silky charming words wormed their way into the surrounding demons minds. "Kill these two, they must die," he whispered. With a roar, hundreds of Demons, some lesser and some stronger turned to converge upon the two new assailants.
(Sorry if you feel that my finish your guys attacks thing is over stepping my bounds, if you do lemme know and Ill edit accordingly.)

(OOC: Nah just be careful with it. But do keep in mind Zephius is still strong and fast, fighting two should still be difficult for Sirigoth.)
Both Zephius' were pushed back and off balance. Sirigoth's target barely managed to duck but the shield still clipped his gorgeous cranium. In all his wisdom Zephius knew the best way to take on Sirigoth's over confidence.
As the demon's blade wizzed towards Zephius the demon lord accepted it, allowing the blade to peirce his flawless skin, and then grabbed the blade, flashing as bright as he could. Between the stunning rays of fantastic light and the Lord holding the blade in his mighty grip the demon would be severely lowed. The other Lord duplicated himself once more and swung his blade, sending a cutting light after the blade and the spear shot a beams of light both attacks would put the injured Zephius to rest, destroying the body as well as the demon. Zephius's blood would not spill and the demon would die.
After the Zephius with the sword attacked he duplicated once more to create a third active Zephius which charged straight at the demon putting his shield behind him to attack with his sword and spear, his spear would pierce Sirigoth to hold him longer and his sword would sing beautiful to sever the demon's head.

"Damn!" Hiro cursed the demon inside his head but allowed the blades to explode and kill any nearby demons. His blade rang through the air as it severed the head of one demon, the wind continuing after the cut to kill even more. His claw glowed and dragon blast exploded into the demonic ranks, sending limbs flying in all directions. With his increased speed and power the demons became less of a threat, but their numbers still make it hard to cut through the thick ranks.
The wolf and his companion knew this well, as well as the relief his troops could probably use from the pressure.
After his blast he took to the skies and began to howl. A raging wind picked up and a tornado formed in the center of the demonic army pulling and pushing the demons around, ripping some up and thrashing their bodies. Hiro followed this up by sending two wolves, one burning and one freezing in an arch jumping from wolf to wolf and then meeting up to create a wall of steam to block their vision. Finally, he sent a variaty of lightning knives into the steam wall setting the area into a state of electric chaos.
He breathed deeply and watched the chaos he had unleashed upon the ranks, knowing his attacks would only buy time.
Unfortunately the series of attacks left him open and vulnerable, one of the stray flyin demons managed to tackle him and he fell into the thick of the fighting.
He managed to launched a knife off into the demons heart and freeze it, but he found himself surrounded and tired. He knew he had to act or he would face the same fate as Luvaran. The lunatic inside laughed at the thought of death and knives bursted out of his claw and began to spin around him, buying him time to heal and gather energy.
"I need to be more careful with those set ups...." the wolf man grunted to himself.

((I feel so discounted, Hiro. ))
Alexandra recovered from her miss, taking a defensive stance. She stung her blade at an incoming demon and trusted into another. Perhaps the dancer hadn't left- she still moved as smooth as silk. She blasted one coming at her from above with her light fire. Zephius' pulsing light seemed to help antagonize the flame. Alexandra lit whatever Hiro missed, moving comfortably into the air.
Her companion fell to the earth, demons upon him.
"HIRO!" She yelled, raising her shield, defending against her own assailants. With a hard push off the ground and a powerful push of air out from around her, she launched toward him, blinding and knocking those out of the way. Her sword returned to its sheath as she jumped and somersaulted over him and his defense. A blast of air forced back the immediately surrounding demons, though in the burst of light it was unclear whether or not it had been just from her wings. She straightened, standing right up behind him and ran her gloved hands down his arms, healing any injuries she crossed. The surprised demons were coming back at them again, but Alexandra's raised shield deflected their blows for the moments she needed to repairs Hiro's damage.
"You shouldn't just leave your help behind, Chieftan..." She breathed into the back of his neck, running her hands back up his sides. His injuries no longer hurt; they felt a little warm. Alexandra released him and dropped her shield, turning so her back was to his. Demons rushed them again. With a loud cry, she set a circle of fire around them and exploded with light, causing the closest to explode into ashes.
She sunk to one knee, breathing heavy.
(Alex is having internet problems so this is her post since she wants to post tonight.....stupid internet.....)

The Demon Lord grinned savagely as his blade pierced the Angel's flesh, reveling in the feel of his blade cutting through the Angel's skin. Suddenly his blade was stuck, the Angel's copy was clutching it tight. A bright flash of searing white light surrounded Sirigoth, a roar of pain erupted out of him as the burning light cut into him. Suddenly one of the rings on his right hand erupted to life, is magic warding of the lethal part of light, leaving him scorched and burned. Surrounded by the light it was almost blinding, and he could feel the life force of the Angel copy that held his blade began to fade away. Roaring in fury his fire erupted from him covering him in a shield of fire covering his body, the flames bursting in every direction. The fire smashed into the light, the two meeting with equal force canceling each other out. The Demon whirled around feeling three beings behind him, whirling around he was ready, his blade and shield covering his torso ready to fend of the oncoming spearhead. His blade, now sheathed in searing flames, would meet the Angels, and he would use his shield to smash into the spear tip, meeting the copy of Zephius with tremendous force. In the back of his mind he could feel that Angel Lords life force had been drained a degree by the death of one of his copies. It would now just be a matter of time.
Back on the ground, the Demonic forces launched themselves at the the two prone heroes, charging all around them furiously. From within the crowd magicians launched a furious assault of magic down on the two. The pair were completely surrounded being attacked from all sides.

Zephius laughed as the the demon roared, of course he would want to show off to his Beloved God. In a way Zephius was proud of his enemy for how well he was doing, in another he was saddened. Saddened the Sirigoth had to try and hide himself from Zephius, afraid of vulnerability. If only he knew how accepting the Angel Lord was.
But still the fight went on, as Zephius's arms shook, his spearing clashing with the shield in sparks and his sword meeting the demon's as his magic barrier helped lessen the blast of flames, searing him, but not incinerating him.
The other two Lords raised their shields to defend from the flames, and one of them flew forward with hiss magnificent shield in front, his curls flowing beautifully as he charged with the grace and passion only a God could possess. The shield, sensing this greatness glowed and a blast of energy flew out of it from ages past.

Hiro and Tempest stood, their sword drawn and he sent the knives that had provided him some cover from the swarming demons out to explode against other demons.
"Thanks Alex, guess I'm still a little brash sometimes... old habits die hard. At least this time I had you around."
The scorched land and clouded sky made it difficult for Hiro to recover energy, but no matter how thick the clouds, the stars were still there, slowly trickling energy into Hiro's armor, some vapor of the dusty masses in the sky joining them.
Unfortunately demonic blasts of magic came flying towards him. His wind barrier would take some of the magic, but he also had Alex to worry about. Quickly he released the bit of energy he had gathered into a dragon blast to surround them and take the impact of the attacks.
More knives flew to take out the demons that had blasted them, but he could only trace so many of them. "Damn it! This swarm never ends! There must be some way to end this war... Alex has Luvaran given you any more instructions? There's no way we can keep fighting like this...."
The sentence was broken as Hiro defended himself from on coming demons with his sword and claw, using little magic to try and conserve his strength.
"We need to get out of here!" he yelled, above the din as more demons charged and more magicians began to throw magic there way.
