"Oh fuck," Alex sighed as the swords began to glow. He knew trying to move was pointless, so he quickly tried to cover his body with as much Devil Armor as possible.
Scion sneered, knowing the end was near. In a bright flash of light the swords inside of Alex, and the swords all around him exploded. Not even Scion was prepared for the force of the blast, which had been greatly increased due to the powers of the crystals which he was now wielding. "Die," Scion whispered as the bright light engulfed him as well.
When the light subsided, Alex was laying in a pool of his own blood, panting heavily. As luck would have it, even though the Devil Armor saved him, the force of the blast blew an enormous chunk of him out of his side. His leg was covered in blood, so he couldn't tell what the damage was to that. As far as he could tell he could move, but for how long he wasn't sure. Even though Alex's ears were still ringing from the explosion, he could hear Scion's yells of anger as Alex struggled to sit up.
"Every time I try to kill you, your armor continues to protect you. Why she chose you over me I'll never know, but one this is certain. I will not continue to let you ruin my life just by simply existing! How is it, that every time I get so close to defeating you, you still manage to survive?"
"Someone up there must love me," Alex replied with a weak smile.
"More than you could possibly know," Scion muttered. "No matter what I do, she still protects you."
"What in the Hell are you talking about?" Alex asked as he began to stand. "She? Who's she? You're losing it Scion."
Scion's eyes flashed with rage and an enormous fire ball erupted from his finger tips. The flame erupted the moment that it hit Alex's chest, throwing Alex back to the ground. "You know not of what you are speaking."
Alex could feel the places where his Devil Armor hadn't protected him. He could smell the burning flesh, but he mentally forced himself to block it out. He slowly began to stand once more. "I don't know what's gotten into you, but it's going to take more than that to stop me!"
Scion's lips curved into a smirk as Alex's body as almost completely consumed by the Devil Armor. "She will protect you until you die once more. But she can only protect you as long as you are willing to be protected."
Alex felt the cool sensation of the Devil Armor creeping over his entire body. Never before had he used so much. Never before had he had the need to use so much. He flexed his hands and glared at Scion. "You've lost it Scion. Your body wasn't made to support the powers of the crystals and it's driving you insane. But don't worry, I'll ensure that you'll be dead long before anyone else will know. This is going to end here! I'm going to kill you with my own two hands!"
"You're right, Razriel. This will end here. But I can assure you that it will end by my hands. Once you realize the truth about your Devil Armor, not even you will be willing to use it," Scion declared. Then, in a much softer tone, he added. "Rosemarie, forgive me for what I am about to do."
"Rosemarie? Who is that? She the lady you said was protecting me? Better yet, I don't care about the rambling of a crazy person, but what did you mean about the true nature of my Devil Armor?" Alex asked, making sure not to let down his guard as he did so.
"Have you already forgotten, Razriel? I was there when you were brought back from the dead. I better than anyone else, know that your Devil Armor isn't the blessing you believe it to be. Your armor is a curse for defying death. That armor, will bring out your true feelings, your true nature, your true self. So unless you want to see just what kind of monster you really are, I suggest you stop using it while you can still control it."
"Shut up!" Alex roared as he launched himself at Scion.
Scion grinned as Alex flew toward him. His right hand began to glow with a black flame that encircled his entire hand. He waited for Alex to near before speaking. "Come, let us see what kind of monster you truly are."
Alex launched himself into the air, just moments before he reached Scion. He then dove toward Scion, bringing both his clawed hands down upon Scion's form. His claws dug deep into Scion's flesh, causing blood to spray all around them. Even so, Scion never lost his self satisfied smirk. "You are a fool. Has your bloodlust caused you to lose all common sense?"
"What the?" Alex started to ask. Before he could finish Scion's right hand rammed into his chest. At first Alex didn't feel anything, due to the fact that Scion had stabbed his hand into Alex's chest and only his palm hit him. After a second, however, Alex felt as if his insides were on fire. Alex quickly launched himself away from Scion, but the moment his feet hit the ground they went out from under him. His entire body burned like never before and his muscles felt like they had all exploded. Scion's laughter didn't help things any.
Alex stumbled trying to get onto his knees. Every time he moved it sent waves of pain crashing over him. He began coughing up blood the moment he got to his knees. When he brought his hands up to his mouth he noticed the red tentacles on his arms were thrashing about violently. Alex glared at Scion through solid white eyes. "What the Hell did you do to me?"
Scion smiled evilly and looked down at his right hand. The black flame was still around it until he closed his fist causing the flame to disperse. "Oh I did nothing. Nothing that wouldn't have happened normally anyway. I just sped up the process of your Devil Armor showing you your true self. Now we shall see just what you truly think about your great armor."
Alex started to say something, but more blood shot out of his mouth. He placed his hand over his mouth, just as his demonic energy began to pulsate violently. Alex tried to stifle a yell as his Devil Armor began to take control over him. He saw the tentacles that covered him begin to increase in size and tightly wrap around his body. They started to make their way over his entire face, that was something Alex didn't want to happen, but despite him trying to stop it, it happened nonetheless. For a brief second, Alex didn't sense, Alex didn't see, Alex didn't feel anything at all.
The flames that had threatened to consume him had no become icy coolness. He could tell that the wounds that had covered his body had already healed, something that he didn't think was possible. The next thing he realized, was probably the most shocking of all to him. He couldn't believe how much power he felt! He didn't think it was possible for anyone to possess this much power naturally. He even felt stronger than when he had used the power of the crystals. He knew something as wrong. He knew that there was no way that he could be stronger now then when he used the power of the crystals. Despite this fact, however, he felt as if he had to test out his new found power on something, anyone would do. He flexed his hands in front of him. He instantly realized that the Devil Armor he was used to was gone. It was now replaced by tendril like things that wiggled across his arms.
Everything on his body was covered by these tendril like things. His claws, his body, his face, all of it was covered. He couldn't even see the tattoos that had bound his powers beneath the mass of tendrils. He glared at Scion. He felt no more pain, no more weariness. All he felt was a desire to kill. "I don't know what you did to me, but I think you screwed yourself over when you did it."
"Just as I thought. You've become a bloodthirsty monster. That is your true nature," Scion said in a cold tone.
"I might be bloodthirsty, but as long as it's your blood that I drink, I'm fine with that," Alex declared. In a blur of movement he was upon Scion. Alex's taloned hands collided with Scion's chest. He could feel as they tore through his flesh, sending him flying backwards. Alex looked up to see blood dripping from Scion's chest. Alex's claws had ripped Scion's clothes, revealing his chest which was covered in blood, but was as black as Alex's own skin.
Scion wiped the blood off his chest as his wounds began to heal. "Impressive, but that will be the last mistake you ever make!"
"We shall see about that," Alex replied wickedly. He moved with speed that even he was surprised by. He was upon Scion in seconds, but as his claws came crashing down upon Scion, Alex realized that Scion had new tricks up his sleeve as well. From the top of Scion's hands emerged two black blades. One on each hand. Alex could see the glint of the metal below him as he came crashing down upon his foe. Scion raised his hands in defense as Alex's taloned hands collided with Scion's blades. Alex back flipped away from Scion, only to quickly launch himself at him once more. Scion raised his hands together. A large fireball formed between his hands and he launched it at the moving form of Alex.
Alex paid little attention to ball of burning fire heading straight toward him. His only attention was focused solely on Scion. He instinctively back handed the fireball away from him. His hand easily sent the flame hurdling away from him, much to Scion's surprise. Alex aimed his right hand for Scion's heart, but Scion threw up his arms in defense. Alex then slammed both his feet into the ground, and twisted his upper torso. He threw his left arm around and slammed his fist into Scion's back, knocking Scion forward. Kai twisted himself in mid-air, ready to pounce on Scion.
Scion flipped back into a standing position just as Alex's fist slammed into the ground where his head was. Scion spun around, and assaulted Alex's body with fireballs. Alex shielded himself from the flames and continued forward toward him. Just as he was within arms length of Scion, Scion launched himself at Alex. Scion's black blades managed to stab through Alex's Devil Armor. His blades stabbed through Alex's biceps. Scions sudden movements threw all of guard, and both ended up flying toward the ground. Scion's blades pinned Alex's arms to the ground, allowing Scion to hover over Alex, just inches from his face. Scion's red eyes glared with joy as his hands began to glow with energy, dangerously close to Alex's chest.
"Now, you will die, Razriel. Once and for all, I will be rid of you!" Scion declared.
Scion sneered, knowing the end was near. In a bright flash of light the swords inside of Alex, and the swords all around him exploded. Not even Scion was prepared for the force of the blast, which had been greatly increased due to the powers of the crystals which he was now wielding. "Die," Scion whispered as the bright light engulfed him as well.
