[color=00ced1][b][u]CIEL, [i]The Stargazer[/i]                                        [/u][/b][/color]
[color=ffd700]"Did I use too much strength?"[/color] Taura asked herself once Unit-T hit the ground and was nearly ripped in half with a single swing of Aldebaran. [color=ffd700]"Oh, wait... it's getting up again! "[/color] she said, reclining forward to get a better look of the reptilian mech's newly added parts.

[color=ffd700]"I gotta give you a thumbs up for knowing how to take a beating, but..."[/color] Taura jumped once more, spinning in the air to deliver an overhead chop at Unit-T, [color=ffd700]"You gotta do better than that. Gaia's Upheaval!"[/color] At the moment Taura's axe was about to make contact with Unit-T's head, the Heavenly Bull used her Control over the Earth to pulverize the soil under the mecha in a huge bed of fine dust, making its thrusters lose power (because there was suddenly nothing to exert force against), likely making impossible for Unit-T to do anything other than sink on the dust and become an easy target for Taura to crash against.

Meanwhile, Hohenheim smirked as she noticed the effort Hibiki and her troops put on trying to deal with Ciel. It was admirable indeed. Even the Star Magus was surprised by the disruption of her powers while paying attention at Taura's fight, freezing in place as she glared at death's face for the first time in her life.

Sadly, Hibiki's shot would fail to do as she thought for a thing that even the Machina technology couldn't control: Fate. Or, in this case, Ciel's impressive amount of dumb luck. Even the physics defying beam from Hibiki's weapon couldn't hit something that wasn't in the place it aimed at, just like Ciel's heart, which fell out of the beam's path as the excessive flash and bang from Hibiki's stun grenade knocked Ciel off her balance, causing the shot to totally miss the Star Magus.

Literally before Hibiki could blink, Ciel appeared behind her, holding an ornate pocket watch in her left hand. [color=00ced1]"Horologium, the Heavenly Clock. It grants control over time. Just as the Stars hold sway over Fate itself,"[/color] the silver-haired mage said, perhaps as an explanation to why she was there. [color=00ced1]"That was an impressive effort, I have to admit it,"[/color] she added, [color=00ced1]"you may be lacking in many fields, but at least you have determination. Yet,"[/color] Ciel made a pause for the sake of nothing but drama, before pointing at KC-00032 (showing that the aurora barrier had been unmade), [color=00ced1]"don't you think that it would be better to use this determination to save your own Sibling and Queen?"[/color]

[color=00ced1]"What holds more value for you,"[/color] Ciel whispered on Hibiki's ear, [color=00ced1]"giving in to your inner darkness, or Unity?"[/color] Ciel smiled and looked down at her clock, and then at Eos and Shizuka circled by the three most powerful combatants of Hell's army, as she waited for a reply from Hibiki.

[color=de3163][b][u]EOS, [i]The High Queen[/i]                                        [/u][/b][/color]
With the number of invaders inside of KC-00032 having been thinned down considerably, Eos could focus most of her processing power to the most pressing task at the moment: Getting rid of Mephilus, Henry and Artoria. [color=de3163]"Just the three most powerful Demons, all at once,"[/color] Eos said. If one could peer on the face behind the High Queen's visor, they would be able to see a rather rare occurrence: Eos had a smile of satisfaction in her face, as memories of a time long ago and of a [url=http://i.imgur.com/YBigJt5.jpg][b]very important friend[/b][/url] came back to her. [color=de3163]"Maybe, our odds aren't so bad, after after all."[/color]

[color=de3163]"Shizuka, get ready evade to your back at my signal,"[/color] Eos said over Shizuka's radio as a massive explosion rocked the depths of KC-00032.

[color=de3163]"Let me show you, that I still haven't lost it, the power to fight back the darkness,"[/color] The High Queen raised a hand, pointing at Henry. Instead of firing more beams at him, Eos projected a blade of pure light burst from it. Along her Laser Blade, Eos summoned a swarm of light swords circling them  Two things would be easily noticeable for anyone seeing Eos at this moment. First, her projection power was absolutely like Ni-Mu's and second, her attacks were laced with holy powers, a gift from her Sun Goddess' heart, making them far more lethal to spawns of darkness like the Demons.

[color=de3163]"Now!"[/color] Eos shone as she shouted to Shizuka a moment before Artoria's ice spike burst from the ground between their feet, a moment before Mephilus' attack could reach them. The android dashed past Henry, making a lunge at him and commanding her blades to converge on the ice spike, leaving no where for Henry and Mephilus or Artoria to dodge without being damaged. Adding to it, they would notice that Eos had restricted, portals, teleportation and any other form of interdimensional interaction, trapping them. Meanwhile Shizuka would notice a substantial boost on her own speed coming from Eos, making her retreat all the more easy, since Eos' blades wouldn't harm her as long as the High Queen willed so.
