The War of the Three

@LokiLeo789

I was looking at is as two commanders operating independently of each other, with the giant lion summon being deployed upon the hordes of lesser demon then being caught in the blast of the Valkyrie Bombardment. This having to do to the conflicting intentions of the two Commanders who, as we already know think very differently in their operating style, clashing and resulting in a minor embarrassment even if it's only a wounded paw while the demon army is still destroyed.

The Angels may be organized, but conflict between officers jockeying for glory, vengeance, or the right to claim victory as their own may cause them to not act as flawlessly in sink as may be believed.

@Lucius Cypher@Rune_Alchemist@KoL

And in regards to my post, Suparna is withdrawing from the battle to avoid the conflict of interest that comes from Suparna Vs Regia, so she had to bugger off for awhile in the most fitting way for her character that was possible.

@KoL - Strongly Disagreeing With Victoire
@Lucius Cypher - Giving a Potent Present In Case of Emergency
@Rune_Alchemist - Ignoring

It was a great irony that a being such as Suparna wasn't a team player either, but she could at least find some satisfaction in having Fran join their little party. The succubus was one of the more pleasant demons that Suparna interacted with, Suparna often she was an interesting fellow regardless of position or locale. "As pleasing as it is to find my succubus has not fallen in battle or lost herself in fornicating Angelic warriors, we still have a task to complete and our saboteurs could have only redirected this fortress for so long."

The Maggot was clearly following Silana's example and ignoring her as best she could, knowing that if they continued to try and interact they would only tear each others throats out before they had even finished their objective.

Though now Suparna found herself with new found issues in the form of Victoire and her bizarre demands of them. "Excuse me? What on this blasphemous Nexus do we need more information for? My maggots rode atop your very bats to find what we are searching for. It is within our grasp and you wish for us to delay in order to capture some Machina on the off chance they know a little bit more? Preposterous! I have you told what our objective is, where it is, and that is was being contested by both Angels and Machina. If we wait any longer we will lose the element of surprise with every encounter and only succeed in depleting our resources!"

Her words came out in an explosion of vitriol that had been rapidly building over the course of this battle that was only bringing her one fresh misery after another. At the rate they were going they'd never be able to claim their objective and flee with the squishy human before the Elicitor can reawaken its defenses and they become the prisoners. "Enough of this foolishness. Your command has been abysmal and it continues to be so! This battle is lost and I will not waste my time dying for your folly."

Suparna said all she would to Victoire and turned to the only one here she could consider worth the effort of saving. Wrapping her fingers around the succubus' breastplate, she forced her lips against Fran's in what appeared to the observers as a rather deep kiss, which in part it was. The intent of this, beyond staking her claim as superior to the other lolitas, was to pour a glut of maggots down Fran's throat as a parting gift. Parting a hairsbreadth, the maggot patted Fran's cheek before whispering lowly, "If you need to jump ship, or happen to find yourself bound without any pleasure from it, they will dig you to freedom."

There was nothing left to be said to Silana or Victoire, not even a parting word of advice or heated exchange as had been with Fran. In a flash Chirada was upon her, scooping her into the cage of bone where it snapped around her completely before whisking the both of them back the way Silana had travelled and through the original bulkhead whose door was torn off its hinges. The tunnel they emerged into was pitch black, but such was the womb of all maggots.

They flew upwards till stone was buried beneath dirt and dug through the softer material to freedom, miles crossed without seeing the sky as they withdrew from this battlefield and hoped for better fortune in the next.

@All Demon Characters

I just want to make something clear. What Azaezel is preparing right now will be the summoning circle of the Zodiac sign spirit Leo. The Celestial Lion. This nasty beast is both large (not, by far, as large as the fortress but still very considerable) and also VERY powerful. In other words, if released upon a horde of lesser demons with no Greater Demon support it will do a very considerable amount of damage and will continue to do so until it runs out of magic or is defeated. Again, considering the lack of Greater Demons on the surface I'd say the second option is unlikely to happen. I just wanted to make it clear that if left unchecked, Azaezel WILL have succeeded in destroying a large piece of the demonic forces.

@Legion02

Actually in hind sight, won't Valkyrie Air Strike harm the Celestial Lion after it is summoned? I'm sure Holy resists Holy, but if the Lion comes first that's going to hurt. If it comes after, there probably won't be much left for the Lion to maul.

Just wondering the order of events, cause I think Azazel started his spell before the Raziel called for the Valkyries, so I was contemplating the order with which it would happen...Cause bombing the Celestial Lion to death is one hell of an egg on Azazel's face.

The War of the Three

@Legion02 Considering all Demon Players are trapped underground in the Elicitor, there is Jack all they can do about it, even if they cared to save the underlings.

It will still impact the Demon Players in the following battle, but demons really don't care about each others losses in battle so they wouldn't lift a finger to save the others even if they were already out there and ready.

@LokiLeo789@KoL

I would also like to add that the hole it itself is not going directly downwards and has had a change in course, as seen here:

With the Elicitor now tunneling beneath the ground, the navigation officer adjusted course to direct the fortress towards the demonic controlled territory. Its console was locked soon after

@Lonewolf685

Indicating that there is likely not a straight shot to be had down the hole, as the Elicitor itself changed direction due to demonic infiltrators.

@LokiLeo789@Lucius Cypher

Windel is busy for the rest of the day, so KoL and I will determine the depth of the Elicitor in due time, or at least once I'm back on a computer.

Suparna post tonight

God's Shattering [Concluded]

I'll post tonight.

The War of the Three

@Ryonara

Well try not to die against the demons and maybe you'll live long enough to open the box and find Bastion and Diana cuddling in their sleep.

The War of the Three

Aqua Regia

@Ryonara - Responding to Hibiki and advising to prepare for battle.
@Rune_Alchemist - Capturing and releasing Gwynn.
@TheWindel - Stuffing the Treasure back in the Chest.
@KoL - Being Stuffed with the Treasure.

"I will surrender under the assumption I will be treated with the respect a warrior of my standing is due."

Regia watched the Valkyrie could through a series of internal decisions, Gwynn's face an open book to the Machina's facial pattern recognition software. It was evident her first gut reaction was that of disgust and certain dismissal of the very idea of surrendering to an enemy, an understandable reaction even for the emotionally subdued Machina. What followed was a series of rapid, miniscule twitching of facial muscles that would be recorded as part of an ever expanding file kept on the Valkyrie, which lead Regia to believe that Gwynn would do as she had said for the moment.

As the unharmed disciplinary Machina flanked Gwynn on either side, Regia released her arm and lowered the sword so they could hold the Valkyrie in place while Regia contemplated their next move. In this intervening period, the Machina Shizuka approaching once more while her sister and the other captive were elsewhere.

"I have troubling news, Arctic Sorcerers. My drones have picked up a powerful demonic reading near by. Only a few, but each quite powerful. They must have used our traitors to figure out where the Queen's Treasure was at. What should we do?"

"Acknowledged, unit Shizuka. This is a troublesome report even with our added reinforcements." Aqua Regia turned to the entrance way, seeing the detained units that were a mix of GRNTs and the a half a dozen more of the Bondage and Discipline division with their Mecha Cats in toe. Following behind them would be Hibiki, Bastion, and a bound Diana, likely finding it prudent to not wait in the hallway for the demons. "Units Shizuka, Hibiki. We shall be defending the Queen's Treasure here in an established position. You will store the Treasure back in her container, and drop the Dragon as well. The risk of another plasma discharge is not acceptable at this juncture. All units, prepare to repel imminent attack. Leave no entrance uncovered, reports indicate vermin and carrion are being utilized by the Demons."

The orders had been given, and with them the room exploded into a flurry of activity from the subordinate troops as they rearranged the cargo hold into the ideal fighting position. Crates of various sizes, from waist high cubes to reinforced cargo containers that were stacked to provide multiple levels for the GRNTs to fire from in an overwhelming wave of bullets and the occasional directed energy weapon that would prove an adequate threat to even a cadre of demons.

The first was organized as a three crate high wall, with a gap built in between them one container width in length. Behind the walls the Bondage and Discipline were ready to engage in melee and to release their cats to pounce and bind their enemies. The second wall was only slighter longer than the gap, meant mainly to block line of sight to the Treasure box that would once again be storing Bastion as well as an added Dragon. Just as the first this one was three containers tall, but the containers were turned so that the doors faced the cargo hold entrance to provide a thicker surface to withstand greater attacks that may otherwise harm the treasure box. Machina efficiency, a connected system to distribute tasks and orders as required, and their mechanized bodies made this transition from storage to reasonably defensible position possible, and Regia could allow herself a smile of pride at their work.

Regia was going to take her position between the forward walls, the tip of the spear to break the demon advance, when she noticed the metaphorical nail that had yet to be hammered down. The Arctic Sorceress approached and picked up the Valkyries fallen sword, ushering the two units holding her to re-enter the formation with a casual wave of the blade. Valkyrie, you have surrendered under the pretense we treat you as a warrior and worthy of the respect of your rank. Demons will be upon this position momentarily, and if we fail here then I will not be able to uphold this agreement nor protect my Queen's Treasure. In this instance it is prudent I arm and return you to the battlefield to perform your duty. Eliminate the Demons, and the Machina will not soon forget the honor of the Valkyrie Gwynn.

The Holy sword was planted into the ground between them, right before the Valkyrie's off hand as her sword hand had likely been crippled by the injector freezing it with a dose of Liquid Nitrogen. That it hadn't frozen solid and shattered from the barest contact was a courtesy from a smaller than average dosage being applied. Regia unslung her rifle from the mag lock and took her position at the tip of spear, a concerto of charge bars being yanked raising in salute to their effort. Hopefully Shizuka and Hibiki found a position that suited their tastes, though Regia thought the one with the holy sword would try and move towards the front. A temporary alliance of convenience had been struck, and if Gwynn wished to uphold her honor and kill demons in the process, then Regia hoped she'd wait till after the demons were dead before engaging in duplicity of some sort.
