Noctis smirks. "Don't flatter yourself, boy." She shatters the chains with ease. "This type of magic is nothing new to me. I've been fighting and defeating it for years."

Raphael smirks.

"You've activated my trap card," he joked. Upon shattering, the chains released a burst of destructive energy, which up close would cause a heck of a lot of damage and pain. The remnants of the chains writhed as they took on the forms of metallic serpents. They rose up like cobras, quickly lunging at Noctis. If they managed to carry out their attack successfully, they would instead pass through Noctis's body, leaving behind an excruciating pain as their spiritual bodies disseminated within her to spread more of Raphael's debilitating and harmful "poison".

"This reaper is actually stronger than I thought," Raphael thought to himself.

"Which makes this battle all the more exhilarating," responded the demon to his thoughts.

Raphael growls, disappointed that Noctis was able to handle his small assault. If the immediate wounds would not faze her, then hopefully the side effects of debilitation should. The surge of energy hits Raphael, sending him flying backwards. That had hurt, but Raphael laughed it off just as Noctis had his attack.

"I should ask you the same question. Tether!"

The demon extends both of its hands, one of them stretched further out towards Noctis. A strange energy begins to envelop the Reaper, and soon, chains fall from the free hand of the demon, holding one of the subjugated Reaper's in place.

"Feel his pain..."

Raphael places his hand upon the Reaper's back, causing a large claw to appear on its body. The claw began to crush the Reaper's body as the shackles began to burn with an indescribable heat. If Noctis could struggle through the pain and manage to break the chains, she would be free from the effects of Raphael's "Tether Curse".

Reminds me of a joke I made while playing GTA

> Snipes someone in front of a person
> Person continues on as normal

"Pfft, I see that guy everyday, I don't care!"

Anime High School

> Epic, destructive battle between Raphael's demon powers and a Reaper.

> People just talk and walk around like its nothing.

Must be an everyday thing!

Raphael smirks as his demonic avatar disappears from his body. It suddenly appeared behind Noctis, seizing her in a crushing grip as it dug its claws into her body. It sank its fangs into her shoulder, leaving a type of spiritual sickness within her. Vitality would drop, which coupled with the demon's aura of debilitation, would provide a degrading effect to Raphael's enemy.

The demon turns even though Raphael was still facing forward. It parries the strike with the metal shackles about its wrists before counter attacking with a powerful backhand strike. The attack was infused with dark energy, the effect being one of a vitality draining spell. Raphael turns to fire a stream of dark energy from his hands.

"Don't flatter yourself," Raphael spoke in a distorted voice. "You have hundreds of years of training, I have millennia worth of knowledge, and how to use it."

"The years of experience these two had on them is an embarrassment to your society," spoke the demon. "Mere lies will not deceive us, they were aged well enough to know how to handle themselves, but were defeated by one who has not even had his powers for a year!"

The demon bares its teeth as Raphael preps for battle. He honestly didn't want any assistance from Blithe or anyone else, he wanted to take this on by himself. The demon speaks this.

"Reaper Blithe... do not interfere, lest we add your bones to the pile that is soon to emerge from this fool's remains."

Raphael finally speaks himself as the demon's aura grows more and more oppressive.

"So bring it on... show us what a 'real' Reaper can do!"

(I'm gonna go ahead and give the demon a personality, it'd be weird for me not to do such with a fricking demon goat thingy!)

The demon's voice echoes in Raphael's mind.

"Look... another Reaper. Since you have so coldly deprived me of the blood of the other girl, what say you to rending this one until there is nothing left but mangled flesh and bones?"

Raphael responds, already feeling the urge to battle building up inside him. It was clear this other Reaper was not going to talk peacefully like Blithe had, so Raphael had no qualms about fighting. The air around him darkened and shimmered with an oppressive aura as yet again the terrifying and wicked demon rose up from Raphael's body. It stared malevolently at Noctis. The Reaper's may have faced powerful demons and entities before, but the sheer presence of Raphael's avatar made it clear that... soemthing was different about it...

"And that marks four Reaper's I've met so far," Raphael said with a growing grin. "Two before Blithe... I believe their name's were Hasse and Zorn?"

The demon avatar stretched out both its hands as chains fell from its wrists. Within the shackles were bound two reapers, both with vacant expressions.

"See their forms, stripped of power, knowledge, and life. Trophies to my collection, empty vessels to serve as a warning."

The Reapers shimmered away at Raphael's command.

"Is that how you want to end up?"

Michael heard a scream. Screams usually meant either pain or fear... or just a really good surprise. Either way, none of these things were ever a good sign in a zombie apocalypse, so Michael went to go investigate.

"Ok, usually this type of 'lone scout' expeditions end up with the person getting eaten," he told Izzy, "Mind following me along? Cover me in case I get jumped?"

Not waiting for her to answer, he headed in the direction of the scream. It just so happened that the clothing store had another entrance in the opposite direction of the one he and Izzy had gotten through. That wasn't good. A few zombies had already gotten through, and worse still, they were about to gang up on a blonde who had fallen. Michael ran quickly up to the shutters and slammed a button to get them to close before running back to a zombie nearest to the girl, running his blade through its forehead. Pulling it out, he tossed the corpse towards the oncoming group, stumbling them for a few short moments.

"Up!" He shouted to the girl as he reached out his hand to help her up.
