[quote=CreedTheChimera] Astraea laughs, calling back to him. "You're too slow!"Mephiles does something new, his mask opens at the jaw to reveal sharp teeth, as he swallows the fire. "...Well, that's new." He says, his mask moving now as it forms a more defined face. He smiles, the mask smiling as well, a sharp-toothed, threatening smile. He starts slashing at Grima, a sudden burst of speed and power making it's way into him, catching Grima off guard.(ah) "Firing Artemis." He hears Ikaros say as Hate goes to dodge Thanatos' first strike, but is unable to when an explosive bolt hits him, pushing him back into Thanatos' sword. The small projectiles keep doing this in conjunction with Thanatos' strikes so that Hate is damaged greatly by the combination. "Ikaros... did you just disobey and order?!" Hate growls at her before she glares, her eyes back."You are not Master, despicable creature." Ikaros replies, beginning to walk towards him. [/quote] Terra animatedly sweatdrops. "Glad to see you're enjoying yourself more than I am..." He responds, continuing to follow after her. ---- Grima is definitely caught off guard, each blow making its mark on Grima. He grunts in pain as each hit connects, sending him staggering backwards in an attempt to move away from Mephiles. ----- "That's right...didn't Terra defeat your actual master? I mean, that angelic man that was hurting Nymph..." Minato asks as he focuses on keeping Thanatos around.
