"Heroes get up. We believe in you"Nature shouted from heaven."Lucas Use what I've learned from me."
Seline looked at her friends as she stood in front of them putting up an telekinetic wall of protection around her comrades."Listen all of you. I can't talk long, I must focus. Try to regain your energy. I've placed up several mental walls." She began to give her full attention to the walls which were causing her great pain from the attacks
*I've learned a lot from you,* he thought just as he was blasted out of the sky by a stray orb. *Can you tell me what I need to do?* He tried to whip up a tornado, but he just didn't the strength and energy to do that. He was sent sailing into Seline's force field by another orb and layed there, trying to regain his will to fight.
Preston never had to fight this many creatures in his entire time as a witch because in his dimension, he and his two sisters were known all throughout the magical community as the most powerful witches that ever walked the earth. Evil was afraid of them. Good praised them. They would never suffer fight of this magnitude without every good magical creature coming to their aid.
He tried to orb out of the way from a necromancer's orb but was too beaten and weak which made his reaction time just as slow as he felt. He was knocked up against a wall. When he hit the ground, he orbed into Seline's protective field and asked, "So what's the plan now?"
Charity was putting up a good fight but the tides were turning against her. Every time she copied a necromancer's power and used it against them, one would block the attack and send out it's own. She couldn't copy another power fast enough to protect herself, so she was easily taken down. When a group of them stood over and prepared to end her life, they all froze and she was suddenly sitting next to Lucas and and Seline.
Eli didn't think that it would be this hard this early. But it was and the fight was taking a toll on his team. Most of them were down and out and the others that weren't were soon to be. He froze the room so he could think. After eliminating a few necromancers to ease the battle, it hit him. He had a secret weapon. The crystal that Tristan gave him. It amplified his powers, true, but it also had another use. He could use it to summon a creature. He had only summoned the beast just once, and that was to see what it was but now seemed like the perfect time to summon it again. He activated the stone by using his power of MC (molecular combustion).
The room grew dark as the gem started to glow a bright red. The necromancers unfroze because Eli's powers were weakened when he used the crystal this way. However, the necromancers didn't attack because everyone present could hear the faint but distinct gallop of a horse. Eli couldn't cover his ears when a thunderous neigh rang out. Then a large red, black and gold centaur shot out the palm of his hand and landed on two unlucky necromancers, crushing them into the ground.
The centaur's top half of it's body, (which was the human part as you may not know), was clad in battle armor complete with a helmet, chest mail and gauntlets on both hands. The only thing that covered the horse half of it's body was the leg guards that had flames and dust circling the two crystals that resembled the one in Eli's hand. It's tail was braided and was encased in a golden clasp.
The mythical creature also held two swords in his hands. One was nothing more than a flaming pyre and the other looked old and rusted but had what appeared to be dust swirling around it. The pendant it wore around it's neck was that of the sun and the moon.
Eli walked up to the living myth and spoke. "This is Chronos. He is my crystal creature. He's also a physical extension of my power. He is going to be assisting us for the next hour. There is no need to be afraid unless you have evil in you're heart."
"Uh, hello," Charity said. "I'm evil."
"I know," Eli replied. "But I also know that you're on our side. And since Chronos is an extension of myself, he knows that as well."
When Chronos spoke, everyone in the room, including the necromancers didn't move. Not because they couldn't but because the beast's voice was like that of space and time itself which shocked, frightened and amazed everyone all at the same time. It said, "What is your command, master Eli?"
"I need you to take care of these creatures while I go and take care of my team."
"Very well," Chronos said. It gave Eli the pendant and galloped over to a group of necromancers. They tried to run as Chronos came near but were too slow. He slashed at them with the flaming sword and they exploded on contact. When another necromancer threw an orb at the beast, he blocked it with the flaming sword and swung the old sword causing the necromancer to decay right on the spot and then turn into dust.
Eli walked into Seline's force field and smiled. "As you can tell, the flaming sword is my power of MC and the dust sword is death. He's going to be a while so why don't fix you guys up. He walked over to Spike and Hojo and said, "The moon side of the pendant can heal and rejuvenate while the sun side of it boosts your power for as long as Chronos is present." He held it over Spike and the telepathic dog began to glow. His wounds were quickly disappearing his eyes started to flame. "You'll find that you can handle these things a lot easier now," he said to the dog. "Go and have fun."
When Spike ran off towards battle (I had to write that in order to finish my post), Eli asked, "Who's next?"
All seemed to be impossible due to the state of the heroes and their status. But all of a sudden, a sudden burst blew from the hole coming from the wall. A flaming dragon, made of conflagrated. It flew up above the ceiling and came bursting into the ground. The entire creature was slamming its entire body into the floor; three figures were becoming to be clearer and clearer. Once the flames were over, three ninjas stood in such unique pattern. Demon Kurisaki stood in the middle of the two with his arms folded and head titled to the left. Yuki Matsumoto stood left of Demon as she had her back arched forward and legs supporting her stance, holding her bow staff. Gaku Hitsugaya was standing on the right side in the same position holding a kunai shaped like a pick. ”I see you guys need some help…” Demon said in a deep calm voice. ”Team Demon Go!” They all split up in different directions. Demon ran forward dodging the necromancers and their blast, jumped into the air without letting anything get in his and began doing hand signs to do phoenix fire flower jutsu. Demon brought his hand to his mouth and started blowing flames in all directions around him 360 degree angle. Yuki Ran straight towards the necromancers, spinning her bow staff, when she got real close, she does a hand sign, sucking all necromancers in her way into a black hole that leads you into darkness. Gaku ran straight the remaining necromancers and did his hands signs, trapping the necromancers into his gel house jutsu. Once they were overcrowded within the gel house, Gaku slowly closes the house as the movement applies to the closing of the house, little by little, the house was crushing the necromancers. As both his hands touch, the gel house exploded, not only did he kill off the necromancers that were in the gel house, he also blasted out the others. In the end, it left no other Necromancers. They were all gone. Team demon flipped back into their stance in a quick speed.
”Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Demon Kurisaki, Hokage and legendary sannin of the flame village hidden in the smoke.”
”I am Yuki Matsumoto, I am a sannin as well.”
”I am Gaku Hitsugaya, The quiet sannin of the flame village hidden in the smoke.”
And we are Team Demon!
A spirit version of Ner'Zhul appeared on the now empty battlefield and his presence was shielded by an invisible wall, preventing all types of attacks from making impact upon him. He grinned under his burning blue eyes and his sword was placed across his shoulder. The spirit form was transparent but had a faint blue smoke that granted it actual visible form.
The spirit turned his head towards Kel'Thuzad and Kel'Thuzad lowered his head in almost what could be considered shame. Ner'Zhul grinned and with a flash did the Arch Lich disappear from the battle while Ner'Zhul looked towards the group.
"The gates to my crown of ice has been open to you, heroes. Wide and tall as you crossed them. You fought several battles and have inevitably reached this point. You have been providen assistance from this team of unknowns, these... demons... use it well, for you will be needing it.
Now heed my words. What you have encountered so far is but mere minions of a lesser force. What ghouls, skeletons, nerubians and necromancers you have fought was not part of my forces. Keep your heads low, for you have passed the trial of entrance. Now prepare yourself for the true challenge. No longer are you fighting minor forces, but actual minions of the Lich King!
Prepare and rest, for you will be fighting my army of banshees!
With a flash, the spirit disappeared with a manical laughter as the path to the next floor was opened. Once the heroes decided to cross the path, onto the next floor, the true challenge would be to expect. For then, the Lich King would unleash the banshees, the first true opposition and the beginning of the real challenge, for after that point it would only go up, and up would mean tougher.

"Thanks." Spike replied before heading off into the battlefield. Eli was right, Spike was much faster than usual and his mental abilities were far more accurate and powerful than they were before. With his power and physical status improved, he was taking down Necromancers left and right.

Just as Spike took down another Necromancer, he turned to team Demon and commented, "Thanks for the help...but, to be honest, I'm really not quite fond of your team name..."

Spike turned to Ner'Zhul, and after he had dissappeared did Spike comment, "Ha! Banshees?! You expect us to be afraid of banshees? I thought you were going to be much harder on us after this. They oughtta be a cake-walk after this necromancer battle." Spike was confident in himself, especially since he was now able to actually handle necromancers with little trouble. There were still a few necromancers left, so it was a mystery to Spike as to why the Lich King would confront them now. Spike took down another necromancer, just before spinning around and slicing another one in half with a telekinetic blade. "I was hoping to save that move for later...but seeing as how the situation called for it..." Spike thought to himself as he discovered that there were little to no necromancers left.
Trunks finished driving his sword through the last of the necromancers, and he looked as the next door opened. He wasn't as eager as he'd been at the start of this event and his allies were beaten and worn. He himself was weakened by fatigue, but he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve that he'd learned during training with Charity and Vegeta, though he wasn't ready to use them yet. He was at the point he would've quit, but knowing his fathers eyes were watching his actions drove him forward, he began walking and was the first to reach the door this time, looking back at his teammates one final time before charging in.
Jacope III turned to Demon and the others at first as he was on the ground squanting with his body forward. He finally gets on his feet after all Necromancers were defeated. He walked over to Demon and shook his hand.
Jacope III: Very please to meet you all. I am Jacope III. Well we might as well save the sociallizing for later. We move on.
Jacope III turned to Ner'Zhul quickly reacting and running right at Ner'Zhul, however Sebastian stops him with his left arm, reminding him it is only a spirit. Xol and Monica were both healing each other as the rest listen to the words of Ner'Zhul. It was pretty shocking of how these last four floors were this difficult. He could not imagine of what lies ahead. He spits on the ground as Ner'Zhul dissapears and falls on the ground.
Jacope III: We might as well rest. But we must do this quick. There is no time for this either.
Monica walks over to Jacope III slowly and places her hands slowly, trying not to startle a skeptical and crazed Jacope III who has millions of things rushing through his mind. Her powers were already at the point of having the action of itself to heal any pain through the muscles and skin layers. Jacope III explains to Monica of his arm being off position of his joint. Monica fixed the bone joints with no problem. Her medical knowledge with the use of the human energy was Monica's specialty. Monica did the favor to give the other heroes medical attention just incase.
Hojo sits next to Spike, with his toungue out, letting a couple whimpers due to the fact that he sprained a string behind both hind paws. He finally speaks to Spike telepathically.
Hojo: "Well, that was a close one. Those ninja's really saved our asses, as so did Eli, Preston and Lucas.....Yes I can talk as well but only directly to canines. The only one I can socialize with for now is you. My name is Hojo. And you are? Sorry, I do not understand everything in the human language."
Ricardo was laying on his back, as his spine had a slipped disk which was against his spinal cord. He was not use to this type of fighting and he is learning the hard way. Ricardo Turns his head slowly to Demon who stood with his team.
Ricardo: Hey, I might look pathetic laying here but it is not as easy as it looks. I don't think you would be taking a walk in the park if you were in my shoes. Anyways, why did you guys come here to save us.
"I think the real question is how did you three get here," Eli asked as he walked over to Trunks and began to heal him with Chronos pendant. "I thought that this tower was guarded by some kind of Chi barrier."
"And since you're talking about helping us," Preston added as he began healing some of the team as well, "why don't you start by telling us how you found out about this place."
tristan nodded his thanks to preston as he was healed..he was on the verge of collapse when team demon made their sudden appearance..
'though they arent aware of my actions, i was the one who....inadvertently led them here' john answered preston..' how i managed to do so is beyond even me, but somehow, because of what i did, "team demon" is here..i would go into details, but it would be much less confusing if they explained..'

Jacope III turned to demon and then realized the hole that he made through the tower thanks to the tackling orb of the necromancer. Monica was walking to Lucas as she heals him while Jacope III gets up and walks over to the conversation. Sebastian's hands were broken as he sits on the ground with his hands off of anything as it pained him alot.
Jacope III: Oh yes, that hole over there.
Monica finished Lucas, seeing he was not doing so bad by the fact that her energy would not give out more. She then walked over to Seline after hearing Spike's call. She kneels next to Seline as she looks at her, trying to examine the points and body parts that are bothering her. Hojo barks at Monica and whimpered.
Monica: Hold On, Hojo, this will just be a sec. You can't think for yourself you know.
Hojo turns to Spike.
Hojo: What did she say?
tristan grinned..'glad to see someone has a sense of humor, even in a battle' he thought
'get used to it' john emarked dryly...'a sense of humor keeps the mind refreshed...keeps it away from depression....believe me i know..'
'what? the grim reaper's been through depression?'
'many times....you live as long as i do, kid, and depression is as common as the passing day the reaper answered, teleporting next to the boy, making him jump up and accidently knock preston over, who in turn accidently tripped tristan over..
"i still got it" john noted, grinning as tristan scrambled to his feet and pulled preston up..
"that wasnt funny" tristan said, smiling despite himself..
"i beg to differ"
the bickering continued for severel minutes, providing general amusment for everyone, as was john's plan...he couldnt not fight, but he could raise the morale of the heroes...the reaper would stay with them until the next battle started..
Why did that reaper have to always interfear? It started to annoy Ner'Zhul that this John just was part of everything. Of course, the more he encouraged the heroes, the more likely was it that the heroes would wish to fight further. The more likely that was, the higher was the chances that by the end of the day, Ner'Zhul would not be bored. An encounter would cure his boredom, be it one or all. He had the banshee's prepared and he grinned to himself. Kel'Thuzad looked towards Ner'Zhul but had in the past days pissed him of more than usually, so he didnt dare say a word. The Lich King grasped his runeblade and placed it over his lap, running his finger down the edge of the blade.
Sebastian would likely not bend to Ner'Zhuls will. Not yet. Although, Ner'Zhul suspected someone that wouldnt struggle quite as much. His eyes flashed bright and another telepathical link was opened, this time to Tank.
"YOU! You are a God among mortals, Tank! You wish to end this curse of yours, and you believe that this is done by vanquishing me. No, Tank, it is not. You will have your curse, with or without my death. This can change, though! What they did to you were rituals of dark magic. The same type of magic that I master. With me living, I can end this curse of yours. You will become mortal again. You will be able to die! You will be free. With my help, you will be free of your curse!"
Tank's eyes opened wide. THAT VOICE! It was the same voice and Tank quickly placed his hands over his head, trying to silence the voice by preassuring against his head. He then fell to his knees, closing his eyes tight and covered his ears with his hands. He wanted to scream, but he did not want to take himself too much attention from the others. As much as Tank liked hearing what the Lich King said, he did not want to accept his help. Not this help. Well, Daryl would not. Tank would. He was Daryl, just Daryl, no Tank.
He breathed heavily as he stood on his knees. The voice had stopped, but the voice he then heard made him wish for the first voice to return. For now, the darker parts of himself had awoken. The voice of the actual Tank echoed in Daryl's head and even though he could not make out the words, he knew that he had to fight it. Not for him, but for the group. He did not care about himself and his curse anymore. The whole world is at stake.
With those final thoughts, he surpressed the Tank side of himself and with heavy breath did he stare towards the ground. As much as he wanted to be free from this curse, he did not want the help of the Lich King. Tank on the other hand, did and this was what Daryl had to keep from happening. Tank must not break trough the mental prison Daryl had worked so hard to build.
*spike tell our friend to come an bit my arm.*
Seline looked over at Monica as she dropped the force field." My head. Holding this transformation of me an Tora is taking an toll on me. I'm afraid if I can't hold us together then Tora will turn on you all an side with that devil."
The Firebird rested next to spike.The bird was perfectly fine untill Seline spoke those words that would lead to it's destruction.( the non fusion of Seline an Tora)
Nature was next to John in heaven " What aid can we offer them?" She looked into her cousins eyes. " We could make an appearance an encourage them."
Charity noticed the largest of Cosmestica's groupies struggling with something. She walked over to him just as he was getting up off of the ground. "What the hell was that?"
Lucas heard the last of Seline's words and tried to calm her nerves. "I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit, Seline. You just protected this whole team with your powers and force of will. And that was after you gave half of your power to someone else. I think that you'll be okay and that you'll be able to keep yourself together. Literally," he chuckled.
Seline looked up Lucas" Thank friend for your kind world. But you don't know Tora like I know it.You see me an Tora share the same body with or without fusion. What makes it( Tora) so dangerous is that it will play like me then at the last moment it'll turn an kill ever last thing on this planet. Tora is not an person but an eternity of extremes power." after an brief moment she began to explain about her self more. If it dose by some way know that Tora 's only known weakness is that it can't heal and can only last less than an half hour but thats more then enough time for it to destroy this whole galaxy. That power show I just did is nothing to Tora. "Seline looked over at the Fire bird as it began to flicker. "I'm gonna power down until the next floor."suddenly the bird exploded into ashes." By the way if I turn my true form will be seen. My skin will be pink, eyes white,the hair on my right side will be purple and the left will be pink
