The moment the attack was launched Valor reacted. "I!" "am!" "not!" "A" "Kuo!" The pillar of stone suddenly met with a wall made out of Negion reinforced with Relorian and basic sage magic.

"Now to end this. " His fists glowed with silver circles. He concentrated deeply and formed the construct of a silver zanbato made out of Negion which he swung cutting through her pillar and headed right at her. He stopped it mid swing. "Celestie. Know that I am showing you mercy when I do this. " He let the construct change into a dome of energy over him bracing himself for whatever attack she would perform next.

Hikaru argued no further. She still didn't trust it. She didn't want to trust it. And she never would trust it. But at this point, all her arguments had been in vain. It didn't look like there would be any answers, and it started to seem like they would have no choices. Still, she figured she may as well try one more time. "And if I still refuse to play your games?"

"My cannibal demons have dinner," replied Lucifer as chains began to erupt from the floor and move towards Celestie and Valor. "And considering you're a phoenix, they'll have an endless buffet."

Zero · « **Reply #28 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:21:24 PM »

Valor dissolved the energy field around himself immediately. "Lucifer, I was only protecting myself from her attack. You said to save the fighting and I didn't harm her in any way except by stopping her attack cold before it could hit. Therefore please don't feed me to your cannibal demons." Valor seemed distressed by this prospect. He dodged the chains that Lucifer had summoned relying on the agility he had learned how to use.

Celestie merely glares at the chains, before moving her gaze at Lucifer. "This is a private matter, Lucifer. Stay out of my way, or I will bring this entire palace down around your knees." She growls, the ground beneath her feet starting to distort a bit. "It is none of your business, and so you do not have the authority to intervene."

(Posting order, Hawkeye.)

Hikaru cringed at his words, "Fine I'll play...." she muttered, before resuming her glare, adding. "But if I win, I'll make sure you die at the end of this damn tournament." Then with a glance to the side, she could see Celestie and Hiren in the way of the attack from Lucifer. This was bad, Hikaru needed Celestie alive, as the girl had a way out, in the case this was a trap, as Hikaru still believed.

Teleporting behind Hiren, Hikaru grabbed the boy by the collar of his shirt and pulled him to the side. "Stop! Whatever quarrel you have with this brat can be settled at the damn tournament. Is killing this boy while he's still in hell and can respawn, good enough for you? If you kill him later, at least there's the add of humiliation."

Zero · « **Reply #31 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:41:29 PM »

Valor immediately got behind Hikaru. He didn't want to engage Celestie at least not while she still had so much power at her disposal. He whispered to Hikaru quietly "Thank you."

Nisorin · « **Reply #32 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:50:09 PM »

Still glaring at the man, she slowly takes her hands off her blades and stands normally, stepping away from the chains. "Fine, I won't kill him here. If he can simply come back, Hell is obviously not the place I wish to fight him, the coward." She replies, turning away from the two of them. "I am warning you right now, Kuo. The next time I draw my swords, and you're around, they will taste your blood."

Zero · « **Reply #33 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:58:00 PM »

"Know this Celestie, I am not a Kuo. However since you have threatened to kill me if I am around you I think it best if a friend of mine has a little painful reunion with you, make that two friends of mine." said Valor.

Jeffrey appeared. He had prepared for the tournament and was in golden war armor.
Angel was dressed in Silver War Armor and had a long bow in her hand and an arrow notched to the bow. "If you ever hurt our friend again you will perish." said Jeffrey and Angel in one voice.

Valor waited for Celestie to respond as did Jeffrey and Angel.

"Your 'friend' watched an entire planet burn without lifting a finger to stop it." Abel mentioned, turning to Jeffery and Angel with a bemused plastered on his pale face. "And I'm not even going to mention your three minute rebellion. Damn that was pathetic." The mad man announced, laughing to himself as he stood up and turned to Celestie.

"I'm going to assume you will teach them what they need to know?" Abel questioned, looking at the Relorian warrior-queen with eyes absent of rationality, yet they were so, so intelligent. "Or will I?"

Nisorin · « **Reply #35 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:27:29 PM »

"A three minute long rebellion? My my, it seems you 'Clanners have truly become weak. And thank you for the offer, Abel, but I would like to teach her." She says, mostly to Abel, seeming as if she's outright denying the fact that new people arrived.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #36 on:** February 16, 2010, 12:15:54 AM »

Now that the fighting had ended, Hikaru gave a speculative look over at Celestie and Able before motioning to Celestie with her eyes, to follow her. It was time she got to the bottom of this. She still didn't trust Lucifer, or his tournament, and if this girl truly had another way out of her predicament, then she had to know what. Walking to where they would just be out of earshot of Lucifer and the rest of the group, Hikaru put up a displacement spell and waited patiently for Celestie to join her.

Nisorin · « **Reply #37 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:02:42 AM »

Walking with Hikaru, she made sure to put up her own sound displacement spell, just to be safe. "So, I take it you want to learn about that other way out I told you about?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #38 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:10:32 AM »

Hikaru slowly nodded, glancing back at Lucifer then back to Celestie every now and then. "If you can. It seems all of us are roped into this whether we like it or not. But I still don't trust him.And in the off-chance I lose his stupid tournament, I want another way out before competing. I don't think I caught your name, I' myself am Hikaru. Please tell me all that you know."

Nisorin · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:23:15 AM »

"It's Celestie, and make no mistake, the path I'm talking about isn't exactly a safe one. Especially once you reach the second part. But, it will work. It will involve the father a great deal, however." She replies, not even glancing away from Hikaru at all. "If you keep looking over at him like that, he'll get suspicious."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #40 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:29:44 AM »

Looking directly at Celestie now, Hikaru sighed. She had been told off for something she knew. All the years of being a manipulator, and she had let nerves get the best of her. Slightly embarassed at this fact, Hikaru kept her gaze on Celestie now, not daring to look away. "The father? What do you....." Pausing in confusion, finally realization hit her. "I see... So it's that type of method. The risk is of no problem. But the three of us need to discuss it. Should we meet in one of the rooms, or somewhere outside of this palace? I don't trust being here, the walls could have...ears."

Zero · « **Reply #41 on:** February 16, 2010, 04:41:57 PM »

Angel put her hand on her bow, but Jeffrey comfortingly took it off. "No need for that yet my dear. We still have to get the other clanners willing to participate in the tournament as well. We will need all the back up we can get. After all with the full might of the clan behind us we might actually stand a chance at winning."

Valor's hands once again glowed. He uttered something in a strange language that had never been heard before by anyone and white light washed over him, his curicite sword vanishing into thin air replaced by a sword made out of StarClan Metals that were known for their durability and magical resistance.

Concentrating then he let his fist glow with the power of Negion, Relorian and Sage Power all at once. He released all the seals on his abilities allowing them to go full fire and after that he let his power flow outwards into the minds of every StarClanner and Negion user of the past along with every sage down there. You will participate in the tournament and ready yourself. was sent mentally to their minds.

"As much as I love thinking of ways to kill you all," Lucifer announced, bored on his throne, "Will you all get the hell out of my throne room? Hell? See what I did there?"
While he seemed to be joking by words, his eyes glared suspiciously at Hikaru and Celestie. He had noticed two displacement fields suddenly, and he couldn't hear their words, but knew they were talking.. What was it that they wanted to keep secret?

Nisorin · « **Reply #43 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:35:38 PM »

Stepping out of and dispelling the field, Celestie walks back over to stand before Lucifer. "If I am to participate, I will need to inform my charges back in the Mortal Realm. To this end, I ask that you allow myself and Hikaru to depart. We will both tell the two parts of my empire what is happening. This may garner you more participants." She asks, bowing slightly as a sign of respect.

K2 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:36:50 PM »

"And why does this require Hikaru to accompany you?" asked Lucifer, amused.

Kai · « **Reply #45 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:40:23 PM »

Kai stepped out of a portal looking around the room "Sorry for the delay in returning" he smirked as he said this looking around for any new faces.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #46 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:46:19 PM »

With the flick of her hand, Hikaru's own displacement spell broke as she walked over to join Celestie. "Celestie asked me to join her. Two people will get the job done faster than one person." Too focused on what they were attempting, Hikaru didn't notice the arrival of Kai until she felt a peculiar magic signature. "You were stupid for coming, Kai." She added, whilst waiting for an answer.

Kai · « **Reply #47 on:** February 16, 2010, 05:49:23 PM »

Kai looked over too Hikaru with no expression "Oh, and why is that my Dear Sister?" he looked around noticing Lucifer, Celestie, K2323, Chaos, and everyone else who was alive that had been attending the court.

Nisorin · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2010, 06:19:41 PM »

"I asked her to come so that I would not be gone very long. My empire is currently separated, one part waiting for my return on a planet in the Kalak, the other hovering in wait outside the universe." Celestie answers, glancing over at Kai. "Took your time, I see. Lucifer seems to be trying to force us into participating in some tournament."

K2 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 16, 2010, 06:25:36 PM »

"Force is a nasty word," Lucifer replied, taking knowledge of Kai. "More like.. encourage. If you'd like to leave, then do so. Of course, I hope to see both Celestie and Hikaru returning, but I really don't have control over that.. Oh, wait! I do!"
A large portal opened which would take those who entered to the Outerverse. "Go right ahead. For those of you who do not wish to leave.."
A second portal opened to the Front Desk of the Guest Condo in Mortality's Planes.
"Medusa will be glad to check you all into rooms. Feel free to enjoy the guest condo while I await.. last minute arrivals."
