Horrible Burning Trash Fire, Day Two
Reveling With New Best Friend Shuten Douji[/h2]
[@Froppy][@Reflection][/center]

Tesla applauded as Shuten broke yet another bottle, having induced Mental Corruption on himself a bit ago in order to better understand the corrupted logic of the King of Mount Ooe. [color=royalblue][b]"Indeed! I have never heard any expression quite like that on the mountains of Olympus, what do you mean by-"[/b][/color]

The harshest noise Tesla had ever heard cut through the conversation, drowning out anything Shuten or Tesla had to say and shaking the very earth underneath them. The many civilians she had hypnotized with her overflowing charisma and demonic charm were suddenly snapped out of there reverie, a look of horror crossing their face as they ran directly into the fire that was razing the city around them. When had that fire gotten here? Was it always so black and malignant, as though it had been filled with the grudges and hate of every citizen struck down by Zeus? Oh well, the fire mattered not in the moment. All that mattered was the fool who would dare interrupt a god's merrymaking, such a fool would not live to see the morrow.

[color=a187be]"Sweetie, I have a better idea for our date... Something to get the blood pumping now that we've limbered up a little."[/color] His internal monologue was cut off by Shuten, whose sickly sweet smile would've terrified any sane man who knew her identity as he did. She touched him gently, whispering into his ear as he stared into the distance and nodded. Eyes filled with Madness gazed upon the fool holding the horn, followed by an equally mad smile. Mere moments later they were off, Shuten carrying Tesla as though they had been freshly married, their honeymoon of blood soon to begin.

The Oni's speed was unmatched, it had been a miracle that he had managed to escape from such a swift predator the night before. But miracles were Tesla's specialty in the end, he was the God of Lightning after all. They soon arrived at the rooftop, Tesla providing directions to Shuten Douji as they made their way towards the culprit. The final jump was upon them and Tesla prepared to dismount, but Shuten had a much better plan in mind that he was happy to follow. [color=a187be]"Fly high sweetheart, and fall like lightning~!"[/color]

Tesla flew into the air, fast enough to land among the clouds and roar his thunderous cry. [color=royalblue][b]"Feel the wrath of Zeus, let lightning rain from the heavens and strike down the mortal who would dare to interrupt his merriment!"[/b][/color] At the apex of his arc a step of electricity formed beneath his left foot, a perfect perch for the God of Lightning to look down upon the dead man walking. His arm swung back behind him, a bolt of lightning forming in his hand as he calculated the perfect trajectory- ah yes, that would work. He clutched the bolt tightly, the energy made material seemingly cracking as he began his throw, his arm swinging downwards directly at Roland. Then he released. A boom of thunder echoed through the sky, despite the lack of clouds or rain all through the city would hear the might of Zeus as he tore through the foolish paladin. As the lightning bolt flew through the air it continued to crack, on the point of shattering at even the slightest touch. Until finally it struck the ground right behind Roland, exploding with another boom of thunder.

But it did not end there, already Tesla had formed a complete perch beneath himself and was continuing to rain death from above all around Roland, bolts of lightning hitting the ground and exploding all over the battleground to both limit Roland's movement options and attempting to cripple him for Shuten to land the finishing blow. [color=royalblue][b]"Behold! The God of Lightning, Zeus. has come to take your soul and cast it down into the deepest depths of Tartarus! Make sure to tell Hades that his brother says hello!"[/b][/color] His maniacal laugh cut through the air, only to be drowned out by more explosions explosion as Tesla threw another bolt of lightning down at Roland.
