Kiki was not able to defend against the wave as she had her claws dug into it wing but it barley hurt. She simple took the hit and pulled on of her claws out and brought them across its wing. The creature let out a howl of pain as Kiki slashed again, the creature landed on the ground and shook it wing trying to get Kiki off. Kiki held on with the one hand she had on the creature then decided to bite to keep on the creature. Because of this she kept her grip on the bird. Kiki heard the bird speak to Katherine question. 

"Fret not little one, view this as a challenge." the bird answered right before if cried out as Kiki bite it again. "YOU on the other hand are annoying." it flicked its wing trying to get her off this time to more success. 

Kiki landed hard on her back which forced out all air from her lungs. She rolled quickly to her feet as the bird brought it talons down where she had just been. "Damn it." She smiled as she realized that the creature was so close still. She charged at the birds foot which was lifting from the ground. She jumped on it driving her claws home, It screeched again and tried to shake her loose again, to little avail as Kiki Claws were in deep enough. "Not this time Birdy! Katherine The bird let us fight it. There is no way we can kill it!" She never would try to kill the bird, just challenge it, challenge herself. 

She smiled gently as the bird responded to her. "Indeed." Kiki Bit him again. "DAMN YOU, YOUR LIKE A BUG!" He shook his leg furiously trying to AGAIN shake her off. This time though Kiki refused to let go.

Deniel rolled his blew eyes and shook his head. Katherine was seriously having regrets about it when they were already THIS far in? He didn't care what she felt, this thing was probably the biggest challenge that he got. It was able to survive ten entire blows from Deniel, and in fact heal it all off. That meant it was going to be one tough son-of-a-bitch to take down. But Deniel liked that. Deniel held his wings out proud and mighty, and took flight off of the ground. He made the same move that he did this time, but he didn't want for himself to go at full speed. And he didn't cut straight through the phoenix either. Instead he flew around the phoenix, cutting in certain areas. The first one was where its wings connected with its back, as he did this on both sides. And then he held both of his blades out in front of him, and then stabbed them both inside of the phoenix's chest. The phoenix let out a screech, but Deniel wasn't done just yet. As one last move, he took both of his swords out of the phoenix's body and flew high in the sky. He ascended and ascended and ascended as far as he could go. So much that he could barely breathe from how thin the oxygen was up there. And then, he stopped his wings in their usefulness. He let himself go into a free-fall in a sky-diving motion. He stared at one of his blades, and then the other. And, just like last time, he empowered them both with Angel Burst.

His blades glowed with his Holy Energy, and since he was falling down so fast, a jet-stream like particle was created in the sky as Deniel came crashing down like a holy meteor. To increase its effect, Deniel covered his entire body in his Holy Energy so that he was falling like a blue and white meteor. Once Deniel started to near the very top of the mountain, he shifted his body from its sky-diving position. He held both of his blades close together, and raised them both up into the air. He held on to each of them backwards like daggers. Once Deniel got close enough, he sent his blades clashing down right into the phoenix's skull. He stabbed them in, and with the impact of his strength, speed, AND FALLING DOWN FROM THE SKY....Deniel made something that absolutely nothing could have survived. Nothing but the phoenix, that is. Before Deniel dug his blades out, the phoenix let out another screech, and recovered from its wounds in an instant. And just like last time, this recovery sent out a wave of fire. The fire seared his armor and skin just like last time, but Deniel was seemingly used to it right now. He took the fire like it was nothing.

Katherine sighed at her failure the barrier was not even helping. In fact she felt that she was in the way. This was when Katherine dropped her sword and looked at the phoenix again with nothing, but sadness sorrow. Why was she feeling like this? There was nothing but failure in Katherine's soul and it shattered everything that she was. Why did it hurt so much? Katherine looked up at the Phoenix until her eyes hurt, but it was until Kiki's words came through did she snap out of its stupor. Katherine nodded in confidence again as she picked the sword from the ground and yelled at the Phoenix. All her fears, all her anxiety let out in a single bellow that had all the  of the storms behind her. Thunder, water, snow, rainbows all combined to a powerful shout from the body of a 9 year old. This knocked Katherine off her feet as her body literally lifted itself from the magnitude of the force.

It was then that the Phoenix would be slowed and slightly twiching from the shock and then stopped. The combined forces of the elements making it hard for the Phoenix to move as it crashed down into the ground. Hopefully this would make it easier for mother to jump up and kick its butt into next week. It was hopeful wishing, but she felt that the Phoenix was watching her. She was watching her soul and judging them all. Why were they not noticing this? They were fighting what some cultures called a god, but still they fought. What drove them to do such a thing? Why were humans so willing to push their lives to such an extent? It was silence that came out of Katherine as she stared at the Phoenix as she muttered, "I am sorry if it hurts. I just wanted to play." However the fighting did not stop, nor would it ever. For this was the fate of humans...

Again the bird shook its leg trying to get Kiki off again, Kiki let go and rolled as she hit the ground. As she did she let all of her ability go, if she kept them going they would do damage to her, her form returned to normal. as she did one of her allys hit the bird again causing another wave of fire. She simply smiled and pushed it aside, she could feel the magic in the fire. The bird looked at her as she did, she caught is eye and somehow was take far from her fight, into the past. 

She looked around to see kiba standing next to her. "What? how are you here."

Kiba shrugged, "no idea." as he spoke two people came over the summit. Kiba looked at them. On he recognized it was kyll, the other he did not but it was clear they were of Yukiko blood.

"We have yo hurry Huā, the phoenix will not wait forever." The Yukiko mans said. That confirmed it was not Kyll but one of her pasts. "Here." he held out his hand for Huā to take.

The woman takes his hand and climbs up. "I know." Hua brushes herself off and looks around, The Yukiko man walks towards the cliff. "Hisakata be careful the bird may..." she stopped and the phoenix appeared.

"Why have you to come here." the birds speaks, its voice seems wild like a fire.

Hisakata steps forward, "our friend has lost his mind, we seek a way to restore it."

The bird chuckles, "I know the secrets of the world and you come to restore a mans mind." the bird laughs. 

"The it should be a simple task to tell us." Hua adds, she seems to be ready for a fight. She held a grand looking spear in her hands, one of blues and greens. 

"Woah woah!" Hisakata spins and puts a hand on her shoulder, "Put your weapon away, we did not come her for a fight."

"He mocks us." she snaps back. "we come for a good cause and the bird mocks us, and you expect me to just sit here and take it?" Hisakata nods, Hua scoffs and re-slings her weapon. "Fine!"

Deniel growled and looked at himself. His shiny and glorious armor was now getting burn marks on it, and looking like it was getting degraded. He didn't really like it. It contradicted the holy and glorious look Deniel was supposed to have. It seemed every time Deniel went in for the attack, after a few blows, the phoenix would just end up hitting him back. And Deniel had given the Phoenix plenty of attacks now. Anything else would have probably died by him. He stared at both of his swords, and then shrugged. Abruptly, he sheathed both of them inside of their scabbards and started to walk away. "I need a break. I'll be back! Don't die without me!" With that being said, Deniel suddenly jumped off of the peak of Phoenix Mountains and started to dive down. He let himself go into a free-fall for a while before he spread out his wings and let them carry him. He flew all the way down the mountain, doing some spirals, barrel rolls, and a couple of fancy tricks on his way down. Once he finallly reached ground level, Deniel halted himself and landed. Even from down there, he could still see the phoenix, it's just that Katherine and Kiba and Kikki weren't as visible. With him on ground level, he just sat down and crossed his arms. "Deniel...what the Hell do you think you're doing?" Deniel crossed both of his legs and shrugged, "I'm takin' a break, Nidhogg. Besides, I'm sure they can last without me."

Deniel closed both of his eyes and began to think, and concentrate his magic. This wasn't really much of a break, it was more of a time for him to think. He was never really a thinker, he was a clueless idiot most of the time. When it came to combat, though, especially against a Phoenix, Deniel needed to think. He ran everything that happened against it through his head. It seemed every time he hit it a couple of times, then that flaming burst would happen. Sometimes Kiba and Katherine didn't seem affected, and sometimes they did. It seemed rather odd, and suspicious, too. There was only one solution Deniel could think of, but he was going to think just a little bit longer to see if he could find anything else. He just hoped Katherine and Kiba could survive long enough without him.

Katherine looked at the other 2 and wondered why the both of them were in Lala-land. It was as if their imagination wandered off and they were stunned. Was it the Birds song that got them captivated or was it something more simple. Katherine had to get up and do something or there was going to be hell to pay later. As the bird was going to attack the 2 of them in their stupor, Katherine flew up in the air and dived down at speeds with the sword pointed down. Katherine could feel the wind pushing aside as she reached such speeds and power that she pierced the birds wing and pin it down with the blade. Wing stuck in the ground Katherine then followed up with a punch to the face of the bird, before the impossible happened. The Phoenix let out a deafening that caused Katherine to flinch, but it was enough time for the Phoenix to attack..

"Oh fudge."

The creature raised its mighty beak and plunged it down on Katherine. She had no time to get away, so the worse scene a mother could experience unfolded before her. The 2 team mates witnessed as the Phoenix chomped on Katherine's head and completely decapitate the child. The body slumped over and fell with blood gushing out of the stump of her head. In everybody's eyes Katherine had died and this Phoenix was to blame. How they would react however was up to them. Would they respond in anger? Sorrow? Pain? Only one way to find out would be to witness their forthcoming actions that followed.

The Phoenix let out another cry covered in the blood of Katherine and went straight for Kiki to take advantage of her daydreaming. What would she do next? What would the actions be of a mother that lost her child? Was the Phoenix going to learn the lesson of a mother scorned?

Kiki's mind may not be home but her body reacted still, whither or not it was from instinct or some kind of survival instinct, it was quick and powerful. Kiki sidestepped the attack, spinning as she did, and brought a hammer fist down on the birds head. The bird started to pull its head back when Kiki delivered a upper cut to the underside of it head, causing the bird to throw it head back. Kiki jumped at the bird and delivered a solid kick to its abdomen. 


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hisakata  turned back to face the bird. "We are here as i said to help our friend." The bird let out what equated to a large sigh.


"Your friend is the one whom came to me about the cycles you and him endure?" the phoenix was talking to Hua. "yes sadly his mind could not handle what was happening."



"Cycles? What are you talking about?" Hua asked angrily. "And that means your the one who made him like that?!?" She was angry now.


"Oh no, I simply showed him what he asked. how can you fault me for simply doing as i was asked?" The bird chided. 


"WHY YOU." Hua pulled her spear form her shoulder, only to stop he motions as a large sword hit the ground between Hua and the Phoenix. 


"Oh my dear, my eyes are simply open now." The voice comes from behind them. Hua and Hisakata spin around to find Bǐshǒu Coming up the side behind them.


Hisakata stepped infront of Hua, "Bastard what do you want!"


"Oh come on my dear friend, do you not enjoy my company?" Bǐshǒu chided. Hisakata narrowed hes eyes as Bǐshǒu offered a mildly insane smile. "Want to start something mister Order." 


Hisakata features darkened as a his body changed, The ears and tail of a fox came to show on his body, "You killed my father you bastard."


"Well if its any consolation he died quickly. Painfully but quickly." He grinned evilly as he held out his hand, The large blade that had broke the conversation, appeared into his hand. "Welp lets have some fun, Shall we." he hefted the sword, reading himself for combat.

"Damn it..." Deniel frowned and twitched his eyes as he thought harder and harder. He didn't know much about phoenixes, especially this one, so he couldn't really just come up with a logical conclusion. What he did notice though was the fact that all of its wounds would heal every time it gave that burst of energy..."That's it!" Deniel's blue eyes suddenly shot right open as that came into his mind. The phoenix regenerated itself after a certain number of hits, and unleashed a heat wave. There was no solution other than to keep beating it up and see what would happen of it. This phoenix couldn't keep on regenerating forever; everything had a weakness and a limit. Deniel stood up almost immediately and began to sprint up the mountain range. His armored boots clattered in the snow as he sprinted up the mountains, looking almost like a big blur. Once Deniel reached the peak where the phoenix was, he jumped high up in the air and drew both of his blades from its scabbards. There he was, staying mid-air for a split second before he came clashing down on to the platform. He was expecting to get back into the fight just as he was, but he saw something much more horrific instead. He was in a combat stance, knees bent and blades held on either side, but immediately his blue eyes widened. He stood up straight as he sat Katherine's body, laying there...gushing out blood with her head completely off.

He remembered what he said just before he came off this place to go and think for just five goddamn minutes...."Don't die without me." It was as if fate had shown him to be careful what he said. He didn't really know Katherine, and had time to do his very little and brief grieving later, since he didn't really react like most people did. But for now, he had a bird's ass to kick. He stared at the Phoenix, and clenched his hands around his twin swords. Everything was silent for a few moments, until suddenly a huge burst of Holy Energy came out from Deniel. It was so strong, and filled with passion, that it destroyed part of the platform that the phoenix was on.


"DON'T FUCK WITH ME!"


On top of Deniel's head, his Holy Energy took a physical form. His white hair, and very angered expression, was covered by a brand new helmet. His armor had also received a polishing, looking almost as good as new, although Deniel himself wasn't healed. The green gem-like eyes turned blue as the helmlet was put on him. It had two purple wings on the side of it, connected to the helmet, a blue horn-like feature made out of a sapphire on top of the helmet. It's jaw also moved along with Deniel if he spoke. Normally a strong amount of hate and anger would be correlated with his Black Devil form, and perhaps lead him to be turned into it against his will, but this one was different. It was a burning passion, despite his lack of attachment to Katherine, that unlocked his true Holy Powers within.

Immediately Deniel took off in flight from where he was, and clashed straight with the phoenix, head to head. "I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU SO HARD INTO THE GROUND, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO REINCARNATE EVER AGAIN!"

Spells Used:

That was a close one! I almost lost my head there for a second.

Child Katherine had placed an illusion by using the water particles in the air to create a mirage so that she could escape the attack. She was not uninjured though because the beak managed to get a deep scratch from the shoulder to the back. This was insane, why would they fight such a legendary bird? Why was Katherine being such a coward? Every footstep she took in that fight was growing heavier and heavier. The darkness weighing her down ever more as she took step after step. It was guilt for all the sins she committed in the past. This bird was judging her for all the murders she committed as a Dark Angel. Every pain and suffering that she caused because she was following orders. They weren't her sins! She was simply a weapon!

She sat down behind and let herself catch a breather. This was too much, they were all suffering under the effects of the Phoenix. It wasn't judging simply her, but the entire group itself in form of flashbacks and memories. This was her guilt as she looked at her hands stained with blood as she looked up at all the people she killed in her lifetime. It spanned the mountains with the gods, angels, demons and beings that she murdered for the gods. She always used the excuse the lives she took saved many more later, but she also caused wars with her actions. This was her breaking point, she could not handle the truth anymore. She was a lie to everyone, Katherine did not represent the Gods mercy. She was the God's retribution just because it was piled on to her without a choice. She did not want to do this anymore!
