[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/KBBwK0P.png[/img][/center][color=daa520]"I guess we're gonna fight back to back now, right?"[/color] Diana said as she stepped away from Suparna's front and moved to cover the bug girl's back. She turned her gaze towards Fran, launching a cold glare at the rapist demon. [color=daa520]"Don't have any delusions, though, I may help you if it comes to it, but I have no intention of joining your side. I won't betray neither my home nor my friends. I don't know what you are up to, but it can't be good."[/color]

[color=daa520]"And,"[/color] Diana pointed Ascalon's shiny golden tip at Fran, for emphasis, [color=daa520]"if you try to do something to my friend, I'll not hesitate to fight you. Now, get off and go back to your band of traitors,"[/color] the dragon girl added, sincerely hoping that no Angel had taken up the Machina's offer.

What are you trying to do bone head?”[/color] Helena frowned as something coiled around her foot and held her in place. Her answer came in the form of action as Bonesword commanded his cacti to surround her on all sides, following up with a sword thrown directly to pierce her. Irritation at this made her catch the blade in one hand while holding back the coming cacti with the other, dispersing her scythe in favor of defense.

Even in this trapped position though, Helena’s eyes never ceased from their movement, scanning the combatants behind gleaming pupils. Khaine was busy trying to detect her non-existence by blanketing the air itself in demonic energy; while that may be a problem for the future, the current issues lay in Bonesword’s assault along with Endian and the demon whore.

[color=a187be]“Dear me, little robot. You’re correct in your bold claims of intimidation; I’m nothing and no one all at once,”[/color] Helena said with a fanged grin before phasing backwards and away from Bonesword’s plants; the sword she previously held in place hit the floor with a clang. Summoning her scythe again, she stood in place as the onslaught of weapons passed right through her, as if she wasn’t even there to begin with. Once she saw an opening, she wasted no time in rocketing right towards Bonesword, scythe held ready for a killing blow.

Yet surprises came in all shapes and forms, and even the vampire wasn’t above being puzzled in the face of impossible happenings. That was why when Fran struck from right beneath her and somehow drew blood, Helena’s gaze sharpened, her scythe going right through Bonesword with no effect. She held her glare on the skeleton warrior for a moment or two before retreating backwards and looking down on her body.

Despite Fran having drawn blood there was no wound, or at least, none she could feel. Furthermore, she was sure she had phased through the attack…so that was the game. [color=a187be]“Illusions on illusions,”[/color] she chuckled, placing an unblinking stare on Fran. [color=a187be]“Rejoice demonic whore. You’ve perhaps figured out more than you realize….”[/color]

And then there was Titanica, who had suddenly appeared before her; using her massive form would require a different approach to this situation one that Helena did, right now. For a moment Helena could only look on in surprise at the great lizard before turning to Lucille and saying, [color=a187be]“Do you want to talk now, Black Goat? Of course, I can explain everything, but first I have a special guest to greet. I beg your pardon,"[/color] Helena curtseyed once more as she used the same instant movement ability to appear over the clock tower, sitting at its edge, right as Grafdaka's attack struck it, blowing away nine of the remaining flames and nearly causing it to collapse completely.

[color=a187be]"Tsc, tsc, tsc,"[/color] Helena clicked her tongue, [color=a187be]"Don't you know how to be sporty? If this goes down, no matter the cause, it's game over, so you'd better take care. As proof of good will, I'll stop the countdown while I deal with my dear friend over there,"[/color] the vampire said, tapping the clock and stopping its ticking.

[color=a187be]"Well now, Titanica my dear, I wasn't expecting to see you over here,"[/color] Helena said to the lizard's visage. [color=a187be]"I guess that I need to backtrack a little bit and explain myself again, right? All of you should be grateful to both my dearest friend and the Queen of Hell for having another chance of listening to my proposal. Don't worry about it, this time I'll be quite clear,"[/color] she added while flashing a fanged grin at everyone once more. Naturally, this wouldn't prohibit anyone from targeting her, but any attacks would go straight through Helena and hit the clock, which was proven to be a bad idea at this point, since it only had two flames now left, now. She was determined to say her piece first and actually explain herself.

[color=a187be]"How to make my points clear? Hmm... let's try this,"[/color] Helena raised one of her hands, with fingers extended, using them to enumerate her reasons, [color=a187be]"First, if you think I'm here to substitute your leaders, you are wrong. That never was my intention, I think I made it obvious from the very moment I've sent you my invitation. Alas, better safe than sorry, right?"[/color]

[color=a187be]"Second, I'm truly offering you a chance to get out of this prison and see what the rest of the multiverse truly is. Once you are out there, you may realize why I did that. I'll just say that reality isn't as simple as it looks like, but I don't want to make it even more complex to you, so... let's leave it at that."[/color]

[color=a187be]"Third, if you choose to stay on the Nexus, you'll quickly find out the true nature of those you seem to believe in. Don't think that your revolution is going to go too far. Nothing but an eternity spent fighting each other is destined if you remain here and you will never know real peace and solace."[/color]

[color=a187be]"Ask that of yourselves. I'm waiting the reply,"[/color] Helena said as she crossed her legs and rested her scythe over her lap. Waiting carefully for the reply that would determine how this story would end.
