Bonesword she wasn't too surprised, as he was already part of the Machina. But to hear someone like Henry of all people offer his blade in her service was a pleasant surprise. Another had bend his knee towards Endian, though she did not know who he was. From his appearance however, he was a demon. Endian had no illusions about a demon's treachery, and she was completely expecting these demons to betray her at some point in the future. Fortunately the feeling was mutual; Endian would be just as quick to betray them the moment they cease to remain useful or remain loyal. But such things would be dealt with in due time. Right now they had a more pressing concern. Summoning ethereal blades forth Endian used her swords to protect her temporary allies, including Omega, Henry, and Khaine. Wolf and Bonesword would also receive help in the form of hardlight swords that would protect them from ranged attacks and cut down any bloody roses that might appear around their feet with ludicrous precision. Utilizing the Endian Model's sheer processing ability, Endian had no trouble making the pin-point attacks to not only cut down any rose the moment they break through the ground, but also avoid harming her allies at the same time. She also was easily able to coordinate her blades with her allies even should this battle become more chaotic, practically dominating this wide open area with situational awareness. It was time to put this body and this armor to the test. Her eyes glowing, Endian proceeded towards Helena as she spoke one final rallying cry to those around her. [color=firebrick]"We have fought against each other for countless eons. Even if it's peace we desire, this cruel, inhospitable world will ensure many more battles to come. But let us make history today and be remembered when the forces of Heaven, Hell, and Mankind could direct their weapons away from each other, and put this bitch down!"[/color] Combining the powers of the Golden Eyes and the Nikola Chevalier, Endian Overclocked herself and her Machina allies to improve their performance massively. While doing so Endian summoned more hard light constructs, but not just blades and guns this time; she also summoned mobile barriers to protect herself and her allies from arm, as well as radars within those barriers to further increase the range of Endian's battlefield awareness. She made sure that she could keep track of every combatant in this area, and most importantly, Helena herself. Even her "allies" who have joined her side would be marked differently so Endian could monitor them and ensure that their loyalty wasn't just lip. Still Endian would also rely on them as well, noting Khaine creating variable amount of equipment for her to use. She could tell that they weren't meant to be used to obstuct or harm her simply because they weren't obstructing or harming her; even as she ran forward they were placed in such a way that they would be easy for her to reach but not blocking her path. As Endian moved forward she also gave her Machina allies commands for this battle. [color=firebrick][i]"Wolf, keep an eye on Helena. No doubt she will use trickery and teleportation to escape out grasps. Beware of illusions and shut down any attempts at mind control. Bonesword, summon your minions and direct them swamp Helena. I don't expect them to defeat her, but I need them to slow her down. I shall be the distraction."[/i][/color] At the same time Endian was giving her message over the Machina communication channels Endian simply yelled at the demons who pledged their alliances to her, letting her voice be heard. [color=firebrick]"Henry, shutdown her movements. Chase her and keep her still! Or better, dead. Red Demon!"[/color] This was the name Endian made up for Khaine as she didn't know his name. [color=firebrick]"Take care of our allies. Heal their wounds, free them of their curses, whatever you can do. And be wary of any new foes."[/color] And lastly, there was Omega. Endian's plan for him was so simple she channeled a bit of Grafdakka. [color=firebrick]"Omega! SHOOT HER!"[/color] [@thewizardguy][@Banana][@Awesomoman64][@floodtalon][@KoL] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4B27bPA.png[/img] [h3][color=goldenrod]Francisca Labrys Seax Luxuria[/color][/h3][/center] Fran was hardly surprised to see Helena try to attack her for her comment, and when the blood roses came out of the ground Fran was ready. She simply jumped out of the way before throwing her axe to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust that completely hide her. [color=goldenrod]"You'd think they'd learn!"[/color] It was time to start killing. That Endian robot, a name that Fran was dimly aware of, made a lot of talk about alliance or a brand new world or something along those lines. Henry seemed to believe her, but just like with Helena, Fran had her doubts. As far as the succubi cared Endian was just talking big and empty just like Helena was, and simply had more humble origins. But where you came from doesn't matter if you can't back up your words. Out from the dust Fran flew towards Helena's new position on top of a pillar. Seeing that Helena could teleport like pretty much every other fighter worth their steel, Fran had no doubts that she'd likely not be able to catch Helena before she teleports away again, but Fran wasn't going to let that bother her. Helena would also find that Fran was moving ridiculously fast, and already close enough to engage with the woman in melee. Helena would get a good look at Fran's throbbing rage boner. [color=goldenrod]"Get bent!"[/color] As Fran had gone to attack Helena, the dust settled and revealed two more Fran's. One ran towards a pillar nearby that Helena was not at, using her Bond of Matrimony to reach to the top. From there Fran took a knee and concentrated. She could tense demonic auras like many demons, but it wasn't a skill she put much stock into. Mainly because Fran doesn't fight many demons. But she had no doubts that Helena was demonic in essence, and already familiar with the auras of Lucille and the other demons, Fran began to focus on Helena's [i]true[/i] location, or her source of power. Fran had a feeling there was something here that everyone else was missing and the succubus was tired of being the dumb muscle dying and failing to achieve any objective. Meanwhile the other Fran left behind looked towards the others. She felt a familiar presence among those gathered here and she intended to seek it out. It may have been Victorie, as Helena mentioned speaking to her previously. But Fran had a feeling she knew who it was, and wasn't sure what she'd do if she was right. But Fran would figure that out once she saw it for herself. [@KoL][@Lonewolf685]
