Kushiel kept his cold yet calm gaze upon Fenn and Lily, the two most stalwart people in this room who defied his orders. Kushiel after listening, twirled his weapon and rested it at his side,

"Hmph, I had thought your actions were of greed or resentment for heaven... I too work tirelessly for my own master even if the other archangels may not see my usual free agency as such", he began to turn away from them, just a little, stepping a bit further away.

"I know not who this Sevrin you speak of is, but be it demon or human, I doubt he can stand against the might of two of Heaven's generals... However", his movement was quick, rapid. He aimed right for Fenn. Fenn only had the time to react and raise his claws to clash, the force pushing him back as Kushiel held the lock.

"My am I lucky... I felt the power of the key between the few of you in general, but to think I found the source from the first strike", as they slowed down, he turned to face any immediate retribution he would face, only to dart high into the air and then lower back to his former position, resetting their positioning for this fight. All around them the dozen angels that were present began to close in, awaiting orders, though with Heaven occupying this forest, it was probably only a matter of time until more reinforcements would come should the fight get to that point. The one Champion that they had saved early was preparing to fight alongside his generals too.

"Annihilate them. The wolf is mine", he pointed his spear at Souta's group, and with that the angels swooped in, with Kushiel following behind.

Zarrath raised his blade, ready to charge, but appearing from the shadows above the hall was Blair, seemingly from a void above, the demon known as Madamma Enepsigos was briefly visible from beyond that portal like there was another realm back there, before disappearing,

"Very well Blair, do have fun out there"

The clashes between Zarrath and Blair moved them far out of the area, Blair taking advantage of her element of surprise.

Now it was down to the dozen angels under the command of Kushiel with Wrath by his side, against Akoni, Souta, Henry, Fenn, and Lily. The strength of Kushiel was enough to handle two of them without much difficulty, while Wrath should try and stick to a single target.

Jungle Tabernacle - Overgrown Main Road

The sound of clicking heels could be heard, distinct, entrancing the area in what felt like frozen time. Each click threatened to break shatter the ice but from that alone it never came. A woman draped in white tight clothing was at the front of the road, walking down like a fashion show aisle, and certainly the way she walked made it seem like that. Her long hair flowing beautifully with each step, the troubles of having long hair, such laws did not seem to apply to her as her hair seemed to move exactly as she needed it to.

It all seemed to happen slowly, the angels guarding the road began to charge, and seemingly all she did was spin and twirl, like a woman happily swinging around her shopping bags as angels took shot after shot, unusually flashy muzzle flares emanating from her like clockwork matching with each fallen angel, one by one each of them falling from the sky to a crumpled mess on the sidewalk, feathers flying as she danced along. As soon as she had ended the runway, the area for the time being devoid of angels, she began to

"My my, these aren't from the Heirarchy, I suppose a fresh face isn't so bad, but did they have to be so terribly dull? Cereza... Just where did you go? Well, suspicious angels, I guess Rodin's tip might be worth something after all", and with that, she continued in.

Jeanne has arrived.

"Hm? Alright then, be careful", he responded. It seems Kotori and Kanna were going to find something Kanna had lost. There should not be too much to backtrack, the station was about a three to four minute walk, so with luck whatever he was looking for was still there.

"Right then. We can do this free for all too if you want", Rui stated, spinning the pistols in his hands.

"Maybe until those two are back". It seems some people were still picking their weapons, notably Matthew and Shizuka. Regardless, those who had picked something were already sizing each other up it seems. There was no signal to start, or any indication of what signal they should wait for, the first shot fired would immediately start it.

Kushiel flinched almost as if he stopped himself from touching something disgusting, but quickly regained his composure. He took a breath, then turned his back to the group, walking towards the seal,

"I see... So things in this world truly are dire, if this is all the Council could find to do their bidding...", he began. "I was really looking forward to this, perhaps I could find it in myself to not be abhored by demons, but I see now I was foolish to think such a thing. Demons must be disposed of, it appears that has not changed. And you humans, if you wish to cooperate, salvation under His rule will not be out of your reach", he offered. One hand swung back, calling forth the long thing red spear known as the Longinus, and the other was outstretched towards the humans of the group.

"So then, you humans have one last chance. I know not the will of the Council, and we have always been allies, but it seems either you act on your own, or the council's wishes no longer align with His". It seems the demons were out of the question for a second chance, conflict with them is inevitable, but the humans of the group still had an option.

Will they side with the demons of the Council? Heaven? Or perhaps they could step out of the ring and avoid the fight themselves...? Many eyes more than those that were visible in the room were watching. Each breath could be heart, each racing heartbeat could be felt like the drums of war before the coming battle. Kushiel had a distinctly faint aura around him, as white and holy as it was... It was terrible, an oppressive presence, the presence of ultimate order. He was dead set on forcing them to relinquish the orb. Whatever the will of Heaven was now, the status quo did not feel like their purpose.

With everyone changed and ready to get into the water, it was only natural to think about what to do. They can't just have a splashing montage in the waves, that's not too much happening. The best way to splash water at each other was something else entirely. Everyone present would see it, Rui was holding water guns, and somehow in the time everyone was changing he found Kazuki and managed to get him to help.

"There I helped, now let me avoid this damn sand", he complained. Rui let him off before turning back to everyone.

"I thought just splashing water would be boring so we have these instead", he suggested. There seemed to be a bunch of unique types beyond pistol and rifle types, like a spreader, or even a spinning kind of thing. Rui in his hands had two pistols, so he seemed ready.

"Take your pick and we'll form teams".

Jungle Tabernacle - The Sealed Door

As they arrived to the antechamber containing the large sealed door, likely leading to the next Seal, those of keener senses would be able to make out that the areas surrounding them were quiet, still, like going from a crowded festival to a soundproof recording studio. It was unnerving, but the occasional sensing of the wings of the angels from the Army of Light was reassuring somehow, as if there was still a presence in this forest. However it was strange, normally the forces of hell were almost limitless. The fodder demons they had slain thus far were easy to summon once more, some were of sterner stuff than others, but they could afford to send more weaklings to maintain pressure.

Still, it seems they had accomplished their task. Before anyone could suggest going after the last orb, Wrath had walked in from the other end of the hall, holding the last key.

"Great work everyone. It seems today will be a victory for us, both Heaven and the Charred Council, have won this day"

The calming and soft voice had spurred the angel soldiers around them to take a knee and bow. Descending into the antechamber from a skylight above was Kushiel. The angel presiding over Heaven's side of this battle. Not far behind him was Zarrath. All the big wigs had arrived it seems.

"General, the jungle is being secured as we speak. There is no sign of any of hell's forces, other than corpses and stragglers", so it seems for now the greater battle was over. All that was left was to claim their prize, the Seal.

"Now then, agents of the Charred Council, hand me the orbs", he ordered.

With Rui leading on, everyone made their way to the other end of the beach, not too far away, and found themselves a little spot up against the rocks in the shade. As expected, Megumi was there, or rather, it was expected only she'd be there. She seemed to be a little upset... Which probably means Kazuki's leave was involuntary, she wasn't scared to express that either.

"Haaah... Maybe if it was another beach he wouldn't be so wishy-washy, and Riku decided to pass... Hm? Oh, welcome, to this spot I picked out. I see some of you have already changed, you can leave your bags here", she seemed to not notice them for a short moment, but regardless, it seems they have a good spot here, it had a good view of the beach and there was some shade from the sun.

As everyone put their bags down, or set up their towels and umbrellas, or got out some food, whatever they had with them.

"We'll all meet up here after we get changed. Then we'll decide what to do for today. We have all day to enjoy after all", he proposed. As he had noted before, the changerooms were on the other end of the beach, not too far from the station, but not past it either.

Jungle Tabernacle - Chamber of the Broodmother

@Zarkun

With a heaping crumpled thud the Broodmother skittled down to see what the Nephilim had brought her. A marionette,

"I suppose this shall do. Leave me to it. As promised, I will divert my resources to help you. You can expect to see some assistance from me this day", she stated, as was the deal, in return of course, she would be helped to further her power and rise beyond Silitha, and escape her influence, whether or not Silitha even had any influence to begin with is debateable, but it worked out fine as reasoning for Wrath to use.

The brood spiders that sat around the chamber began to move and disappear into their various tunnels, likely going above ground and scout, it seems they were now on the move. Regardless with this, Wrath was free to get on with doing his work, with some form of assistance. Though for now it seems he should leave the Broodmother to assimilate her new vessel or proxy, or whatever she was hoping to do.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Jack Orpheus - Grimm Studies

Jack weaving through the vines and tendrils, slashing them as he did, staying on the move while avoiding the focus locations seemed to be going fine for the time being, the pressure was off of some of the other students while he kept an eye out for it's movements, and soon as he set foot again on the ground a ways off from the main fray, he noticed it turned some of it's tentacles to Ashe and Bianca. With Ashe having taken care of her share, only Bianca was left to fend for herself. Jack immediately hurled a few of his lightning pins at the tentacles headed for Bianca, he wouldn't be able to get over there soon enough to prevent her from being attacked in general, but should they wrap and bind her if she failed to defend herself, he can still cut them apart with the help of his semblance.

On the other hand, he was more worried what a dragged out fight with this thing would mean. With so many tendrils, and it being a Grimm, it didn't exactly run out of stamina. Ashe's previous counter-attack just now seemed to look like it did some serious damage, but for now Jack was keeping an eye out.

Jungle Tabernacle - Former Skirmish

@Zarkun

As Wrath exit the antechamber, and back out into the jungle, he wandered for a short time, before realizing he was walking near the site of a skirmish, or at least a former one. There were bodies strewn about, most demon, with some angel. Many of these were beastly or men, as was the norm for foot soldier types, so if he was to find a body for the spidery mistress, he'd need to be lucky a commander of some sort had fallen here.

As he stepped around through the battlefield he could identify that this was the site of a fight between the Heirarchy and a demon horde. The demons were already starting disappear as they usually would, and the angels that were slain were disappearing too as was more characteristic of the Heirarchy. As he stepped through he heard a voice weakly call out, he turned and laying wounded was a Joy, one of those angels that were created as a mockery of the Umbra Witches.

Not too far from was a mannequin, from the wounds inflicted upon the Joy, that's what she was fighting. It had a female shape in body, and judging from the seeping aura, it was still filled with demonic energy, meaning the reanimating magic that was applied to it likely many years past, simply becoming part of a demon horde, was still active. As far as it goes, the "commanders" of both units in this skirmish were now up for Wrath to decide, which one gets to become the vessel for the Broodmother?
