[ENTROPI] The Attack (ALL Chars)

[warden_kun]

It had arrived in the same manner as its birth, the massive discharge of energy still smoldering the crater formed where the strike connected with the ground. Twisting and pulsing, its contained form was immediately aware of the pitiful organic creatures surrounding it, trapped like insects in a too-small hive.

It released a high-pitched roar and

There were already people gathered around that freaky thing when Michael got there, weapons and magic flashing in deadly arcs. One he noticed in particular was Alexiel's - that seven-bladed sword of hers, enchanted in some way to make sure everything it hit fell to the ground in a spray of blood if she wanted it to. And she definitely did right now, judging by that look she had on her face. A strange look...there was something creepy about it. Icy bloodlust - paralyzing as any demon's gaze...

Hey, did her sword just go through the thing? Fucked up. Lucky he hadn't brought his own; Michael glanced down at the sword of fire he held, the edges burning white. Around the blade swirled brighter flames, somehow tinted with red like blood. Like his eyes right now. Aeon flames - powerful energy stabilized for the time being. Awesome. His hours of practice had paid off.

With a smirk, Michael headed towards the Entropi in a run. Wind brushed against the cape he wore, lifting it slightly and revealing the shadow of skeletal wings beneath. It always appeared when he was using his aeon powers, something strictly forbidden in Heaven. But right now, he didn't give a shit about that. He'd felt the cuffs weaken; no way he was passing up a chance to do some real fighting.

"Oi, Alexiel! Leave the fire to me!" he said as he swung his sword at the Entropi.

(OOC: Mind if I join? If yes, I'll gladly delete this and post my own elsewhere. And you didn't see that subject fail. Nope.)

Alexiel whirled around and let the ball of fire go, anyway, but she watched in horror as the flames merely went through the orb, glowing orange once before dissipating into the air. She cursed loudly in Enoch, breathing hard.

"Michael!" She yelled, barely dodging another arc of lightning, glancing up at the archangel. Her eyes widened at the silhouette underneath the cape; the bare frameworks of wings standing out. What - and his flames. Different than what she had felt before whenever she and Michael fought side-by-side.

"The elements have no effect!" Alexiel cried, taking another swing at the Entropi, throat tightening as it passed through like it was merely made of smoke. "Be careful, it retaliates with - "

She tried to flex her wings to dodge the counterattack, but there was something wrong. One of her wings - scorched badly. A spell had been cast to nullify an attack, but it had been done a minute too late.

((OOC) 'tis okay. Er, we should keep going, I don't think the Entropi would be posting anytime soon again D:)

As Alexiel's ball of flame hit the Entropi it went out as if swallowed by a vat of water, consumed in a moment like anything formed of energy that struck the shadowed sphere. Crackling electricity struck out immediately after the Angel's attack failed, retaliation coming in swift and merciless. It almost seem amused at her pitiful attempt, offering up a true show of power in response.

And then another insignificant life form sought to test its power. Michael's sword, fiery and impressive though it was, was suddenly doused as it passed through the Entropi's insubstantial form. Like a whip of white lightning, coils of power sought to strike the arrogant insect away, like a finger flicking a fly from one's arm.

And Alexiel's injured form was irresistible. As the winged being sought to stretch her wings and failed, the Entropi launched an offensive, strong lengths of electricity uncurling like flicking tongues to 'lick' ever so helpfully at the Angel's wounds.

Oh hell no. A second of disbelief as his blade vanished as though the thing had been made out of water instead of...whatever it was. Only a second. It was all he had before lashes of energy shot straight for him. Michael dropped to the ground and rolled to dodge them. A second too late; he clenched his teeth as lightning seared its way into the flesh of his left shoulder. Being the Guardian of Fire, it didn't hurt him as much as it did Alexiel - but the pain, the force, was strong enough to make his vision darken and blur.

That did it. Michael struggled to his feet, a swirl of pure aeon flames growing in his hands. He was about to hurl it at the thing before some incredibly loud voice seemed to shriek in his ear. The angel still might have thrown it just out of sheer annoyance, but the words clicked inside his mind. DO NOT USE OFFENSIVE MAGIC. He glanced over to see Alexiel incapacitated by another attack. Shit. His own powers didn't seem to do anything against it...not what he'd expected when he'd first entered the fight. Right now, the Organic Angel could probably do more if...

With a frustrated snarl, Michael loosened the fire anyways at the Entropi. But not as an attack. The flames swirled around the thing, containing it within a blindingly white shield. His wasn't quite as good as those Raphael could create, but it was strong enough that it should hold it off for at least a few moments. And speaking of Raphael...Michael hurried over to Alexiel's side. Those wounds did not look good.

"Fuck, where's that nympho when you need 'im?" he growled. "Alright, come on. Need to get you over to some other healer." With that (and one almost longing glance at that enemy still undefeated), he bent down and helped Alexiel up, supporting her with his body. The height difference really didn't help. "Can you walk or do I have to drag you there?"

Alexiel dropped to her knees, hissing in pain as the energy surged through her, Nanatsusaya the only thing holding her up.

Oh Heaven help her, but the attack was something she had never experienced before. Hellfire, it was even more powerful that anything Rosiel had sent at her during the First War.

She tentatively flexed her wings, and forced back the tears that resulted from it. The middle one was unrecognizable. The left, scorched to the bone - she could feel the wind lance through the wound - and the right, almost torn apart. Her wings, her shield, her measure of astral powers...useless. As so was she, hard to admit as it was. The Organic Angel and defeated by the elements. Ironic.

"M-michael..." She murmured faintly, staggering to her feet and grateful for the Archangel's support. "I...I can still walk - " she started, but when she took a step forward her knees buckled under her. "...all right, so maybe I need some help."

The Entropi reached tendrils out, flexing along the shield's pale surface as the magic closed in around it. In waves of glistening white energy it suddenly, angrily, flailed against the new barrier. No doubt the flame-based shield wouldn't last for long.

Already Michael's shield was beginning to show signs of cracking, slender whips of electricity beginning to pierce through the luminescent barrier. One of those that managed to get through sliced out at Alexiel and Michael, trying to catch them off-guard as they tried to deal with their injuries.
