[color=662d91]"Here it is..."[/color], before him was an [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVjEQJdbI2E]altar of sorts[/url], though it's design heralded Christianity, none of the surrounding symbolism suggested it. Yes, this was an artifact that predated traditional notions of religion. Sevrin drew the Yamato, throwing the sheath aside as he raised the blade, swinging once, causing a crack to occur, and as soon as it did, he felt power course through him... Yes, this power, this was some of his power that was sealed in the demon world... His theory may be correct, these seals were tied to his own seal somehow... Though there was a question of who broke the first one, it didn't matter to him at present, what mattered was getting his power back.

As soon as he went to swing a second time to try and seal the deal, he felt the blade violently wrested from him by a blue aetherial arm. It was Nero, 

[color=0072bc]="Alright, now that I have my sword back, time to dish out your punishment"[/color], as confident as he sounded, it didn't seem to phase Sevrin, there was a difference in his aura since entering... His eyes now glowed and his presence alone seemed to command a great deal of power.

[color=662d91]"That's if you can boy, come on, let's see you deal with me now"[/color].

Sevrin clicked his fingers, causing his Devil Trigger to activate, but being near the broken altar like this as supernatural energies seeped out, he was basically being continually supplied with power. Nero charged in with his Red Queen first, a flaming slash cascaded along the ground and into the air as Sevrin followed, a flurry of silver flashes as he controlled the force with multiple strikes before kicking him mid-air. While travelling backwards in the air Nero pelted his arm forward, an aetherial arm reaching out for Sevrin, but his own jaw chain came flying out. The two grapples flung past each other heading for the user, but neither would find their mark as both their free hands wielded another weapon, warding it off as they landed back onto the ground.

Nero being the more aggressive type immediately went right back into charging with the Red Queen in one hand and the Yamato in the other. As soon as he reached Sevrin, he seemed to disappear into countless crows before he seemed to appear to his side. Nero's dual-wielding allowed him to easily catch it, but he found himself needing to catch several more of what he now realizes are after-images, before he would break free from this pressure with a swirling vortex of blue flashes and flame. At the slightest disturbance he whipped out the Blue Rose and fired, and it was a good guess of his instinct, the shot found itself striking Sevrin in the chest.

Turning to see his damage done, he watched as the bullet just drooped out of the hole it made in him, flesh being replaced by a purple-black phantasm, before it returned to being flesh.

[color=0054a6]"What... Are you?"[/color], this wasn't normal possession... The body of one possessed wouldn't heal like that of a demon's, but as the power began to well up in Sevrin...

[color=662d91]"Heheheha, you like it? I'm getting some of my power back. All those years of torment... Yes I can see it... But this is still not enough, moreover, it seems this body is nearing the end of it's usefulness"[/color], he stated, raising his hand. The skin was continually flaying and healing like earlier... The raw power he had obtained seemed to be far more than a human body can handle.

[color=662d91]"But I don't need it anymore, with this much power, I'll be able to maintain a form on this realm for quite some time"[/color], he boasted. In moments the body of Sevrin fell forward, heaping onto the ground.

[color=662d91]"Alive or dead, doesn't matter to me"[/color], what stood in front of Nero was a phantasmal being, slowly the black and purple swirled and achieved a form, it looked a lot like Sevrin, but the long hooded seemingly formless coat...

[color=662d91]"Ah, yeah this form does look like him doesn't it? But I'd long forgotten what I look like so I used what was convenient, but like this... I don't need that damn sword anymore to break these accursed seals!"[/color], he exclaimed. Before Nero could strike to stop him, a spectral wave shot up from Sevrin kicking his feet up, completely enveloping the seal, the black wave clearing after some moments, giving way to showing the seal just begin crumbling. The new being that emerged began to run off,

[color=662d91]"I don't think calling me 'Sevrin' would be right from now on, after all the one there is 'Sevrin', for now I suppose... Call me Vega, but soon you will learn my true name"[/color], and with that, he was gone, his new and more corporeal form letting him move more quickly as he rapidly deformed and reformed as he sped past any obstacle, disappearing as the seal's destruction signalled imminent collapse.

Nero quickly retrieved the formerly possessed Sevrin and began to evacuate, the whole area began to shake, and everyone present knew what that meant.
