[color=9966cc]"What!?"[/color] Juno stood there with eyes wide in shock after witnessing her taunt have the contrary effect of what she wanted. [color=9966cc]"Why did you... Demons aren't supposed to cry over that kind of stuff."[/color] The spatial valkyrie complained to to the air as Henry was driven through the mountainside by her kick, still despairing after the goods Juno destroyed before the Gate was closed.

So distracted was she, with the idea that she could have actually hurt someone in a way other than reducing them to an atomized mist, that Juno didn't even noticed the incoming fist from Grafdaka until it was too late. [color=9966cc]"Gahh!"[/color] Juno spat, blood mixed with saliva, as she was sucker punched against toughest part of Alt Signia, the main gate, having one of her lungs perforated by a broken rib. One of the few rare times when Juno was injured that badly, to say the truth.

[color=9966cc]"Pff! Now's not the time to think if I did something bad or not. First, I gotta take down that tin can- Pff! For Cely..."[/color] Juno cleared the blood off her lips with the back of her hand and summoned her sword again, now that things just got serious. She tried to get back to her feet, on to tumble back in pain; her leg had been neatly broken in two places along the calf. To stand up and keep fighting, Juno used her powers to bind her own broken limb, forcing it back in function, though it didn't made even a bit of the pain go away, in fact, Juno was gritting her teeth for the first time in a long while.

However, before she could teleport above Graf and pay him back for the punch, Torag's voice rang on her head, saying that the battle was over. [color=9966cc]"Are you serious?"[/color] Juno said in a mix of defiance and dejection. [color=9966cc]"At least let me take down that... thing. It won't stop fighting now that the Creatio took over him, but I can- Argh... make it stop! No one else has the power to-"[/color] Juno stopped talking as she was forced to her knee by the pain, resting her back against the heavy gate, as the snake-like binds of force she summoned tried to force her leg to keep on going past the point it was usable.

[color=daa520]"What? Is this battle going to end like this, I mean, for once no one has to die painfully or be tortured?"[/color] Diana almost didn't believed what had just transpired before her eyes, a truce like that was an unheard feat in as long as she has been part of the Nexus' war, yet somehow, Torag did it.

The dragon girl didn't had much that she could do to add to the already resolved conflict and, the less she did to rekindle the flames of conflict, the better. Thus, Diana let Torag drag her into his protection without protest. Nevertheless, something still bugged Diana whenever she crossed gazes with Bastion, something that Diana felt that she should have said a lot of time ago. There was no time better than now, anyway.

[color=daa520]"I'm sorry, Bastion, for not being able to save you earlier. Now they... they turned you into a weapon of war as well."[/color] Diana faced the scorched stones of Alt Signia's forges as she apologized, not looking at Bastion while doing so. [color=daa520]"I would have... done it, but Mis- I mean, that vampire's powers are too strong. Anyway, I'm sorry."[/color] After letting out the confession she waited this much to do, Diana's shoulders slumped forward, especially when she almost caught herself saying the name of their captor with anything but hatred. Really, has Victoire's taint been so strong as to still leave a lasting mark on Diana, after all that happened?
