A woman jumps in front of Aeusanthas, magic sparked around the young lady and she looked worried about Bastion.
The young woman stood roughly around six foot, she had short hair just to her ears. She was very lovely but still not the godly beauty as Aeusanthas. She was wearing a little different outfit than the others. Long flowing red robes with black roses spread across the fabric. Her hands were gloved and had small runes woven into the gloves.
She had blue eyes which were looking from Bastion to Zane and than entirely on Bastion.
"Stop this now Bastion! You shouldn't hurt our master she is only trying to help your friends! Stop now before I rework the spells placed upon you by your own master..."
Johanna's eyes started to show more confidence in the defense of her master and Bastion could feel a dead magic zone spread out from the young woman. He could tell it was growing stronger and she was ready to fling it toward both Zane and Bastion if he took one more step...
"I will warn you one last time golem. I love my master, she brought me from death's grip and I will not have you take her away from me. I have fought hard to stand back up and you come here with her wishes to make you relax and be safe and spit on us."
Aeusanthas stared at Bastion, a frown crossing her face but those eyes danced like a fire watching her worshipers dance for her.
Behind Zane a door creaked open and figures emerged from the doorway. More of her cultists spread out and there were about forty of them.
In front of Aeusanthas the air rippled with power and several more figures appeared.
Standing just behind Johanna was a fourteen foot brute, its skin was a grayish red and upon closer examination the flesh is actually a layer of leather stitched into his actual skin giving him another layer of durability.
His eyes had large bolts driven into his skull, a mouth lock was strapped to his head normally used for torture this beast uses it as a headpiece. The creatures entire body was rippling muscle, its hands easily the size of a hammer's head and with enough force behind those meaty arms could break a mans spine in one strike.
His lips were bloodied, his eyes still had puss and blood continusly dripping from his wounds and his sharp serrated teeth had chunks of flesh still wedged inside that deathtrap.
Sparks of destructive energy flowed off his fists and his muscles constantly buldged out as if eager to set his rage upon its masters enemies.
His clothing consisted of demons that had been skinned and sewn together, thier faces peeled off to be placed in areas to make it look as if they were still watching. Now and than you could see one eye blink or both. And their mouths twist into a mocking smile.
Five smaller figures around five foot eight stood in front of the giant demon. They were wearing a veil of thin demonic plantlife that covered up their face. A crown of thorns and roses wrapped tightly around their heads kept the veil in place.
They wore black armor that molded with their bodies perfectly. The dark armor was outfitted with medals. Their black chain skirts were designed to look like a rosebush with all its thorns intertwined together.
They had gauntlets that allowed perfectly flexability with their spiked chains, strapped to their backs were a pair of katars, a belt of daggers along their waist and a broadsword strapped to their back and wrapped around it was a spiked chain.
They had a wingspan of twenty feet, their wings were spread out but quickly brought themselves in.
"Please behave yourself Bastion...Your more than welcome to leave the door is right behind you. I am only trying to help your quest and your group needs time to rest or they wouldn't of fell asleep so easily. What would happen if they passed out from exhaustion on the battlefield and died? Would you be able to raise them from the death in hell?"
To underestimate me is to doubt my power and with this word I will crush you and your doubts.....BAN-KAI! "Might controls everything and without strength you cannot protect anything... let alone yourself." "Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally."

I... The varying temperatures and emotions battle inside Alex. Zane's attempt to bring normalcy back duels with the powerful women's increasing power. Severely weakened, but still conscious, Alex's mind works furiously in between bouts of instabilty. "A spell... I need a spell...." He thinks
With a force of will he flips his coin in the air, calling out two spells.
Saldo... Mente la cárcel!
A spark shoots into Alex's head. The oppossing forces' influences are balanced, and then locked away. They no longer fluctuate, allowing Alex to think clearly. He is still experiencing both, they are just under control. He is weakened as a result.
Zane... She looks so warm. Part of me wants nothing more than to hold her. But.. something doesn't seem right....
He remains on his knees, focusing everything on maintaining the balance spell
Does she speak the truth? I can't tell... I'm too weak to cast a decipher spell.... My head is pounding... His kness begin to move against his will, shuffling him closer to the powerful woman.
OOC: Those are some badass demons, dude. Pleasingly original

"No, Alex." Zane says calmly. "She lies. She tries to imfluence your emotions, to control you-" At this point, Johanna appears, and Zane's jaw drops. "Johanna? But... how? How are you here, how are you alive?"

Bastion halts, but his arms are still raised, ready to defend our kill, as needed. Two blue-glowing orbs ignite inside the eyeslit of his helm, and he focuses these 'eyes' on the woman. "Do not threaten me, fleshling. If you fire that spell, you had better pray to whatever debased hellspawn you serve that it kills me. Because if you touch a single thread of my master's precious spellwork, I will end you." Anger radiates off of the iron golem, and his voice sounds like grinding stone.
He turns his 'eyes' to look at Aesthuna next. "Still your wagging tongue, abomination. Your words are poison. I am not so foolish as to trust a demon. I was built to be a guardian, and a guardian I shall be. Against you or anything else in this Hell. If my companions need to rest, then rest they shall. But I will not leave them alone in that rest. Return the Shepard to us, if your intentions are so pure." He is practically spitting at her now, sparks flaring out from the runes carved in his body. His eyes sweep over the woman, Aesthuna, her demons, and Zane, cataloguing threats everywhere he looks.

Onu steps forward next to Bastion unsure how to take what was going on but recognizing the temptress for waht she was. Centuries of fighting demons and devils had made Onu quite familiar with succubi and their deceitful ways. "You shouldn't threaten us at all demon! How can you think that you foul guardians can stand up to the power of the heavens?" As Onu speaks his brownish-red fur grows lighter, taking on a fuller red color. "Do you really think your little puppets can stand against us?"

Johanna's gave does not falter from Bastion, Zane could see the determination in those eyes and the power radiating from her body it was clear she was risen with a new purpose. She let out a whimper as something crossed her mind, her face softened and a tear streamed down the side of her face as she looked at what situation Bastion was placed in.
"You would be doing the same thing in my shoes Bastion. You once walked in those shoes until your master was taken from you...MY MASTER STANDS BEFORE YOU! MY LIFE IS HERS TO COMMAND AND I WILL GIVE IT UP FOR HER TO STAND TALL!"
Johanna's eyes are now watering up, she grits her teeth and more magic flares to life. The stones along the ground around her begin wilting and decaying as she siphons the magic from them. She took a step forward and the power flared right by Bastion's face, he could feel that deadly power rush past him. It seemed provoking the woman would surely end in a deadly fight that noone knew the outcome.
She still held her tongue toward Zane and couldn't look at him in the eye at this point.
Aeusanthas's frown slips for a brief instant, in that very second time stood still and the next thing Bastion could see was Kira laying on the ground next to her and Aurion clutched in her left hand. He was like a rag doll still clearly unconscious.
"What was that golem? Wake him up? How do you propose I do something as of that? Would I be a rude host and wake my guest who is clearly needing some time to rest and replenish the energy needed to continue such a mighty crusade. Forgive me golem but I do have emotions unlike you and care a little more for your party members."
Kira found herself laying in fluffy pillows and blankets warm as a summer breeze wrapping up her sweet fragile body. She felt like she was in heaven....
Aurion's aura sparked which it seemed to cause some discomfort to Aeusantha but her face still remained a saddened beauty who looked wounded by every word Bastion threw at her.
Her eyes fell upon Onu, the hound archon drew her full attention now and a smile crept clear across that beautiful face of hers.
"You bring me a champion of light! What wonderful news! Now come Onu step forward and judge me! Place your powers of light toward me and see how 'evil' I truly am. "
With those words Onu,Bastion and Zane could see the shifting of her cultists and demons that were now growing more and more impatient.
Aeusantha's left hand raised Aurion higher into the air until the young genasi was over three feet off the ground. Her eyes started to burn bright with hellfire and she let out a soft warm soothing laugh that seemed to try to calm everyone in the room. It actually looked like the demon wasn't trying to start a real fight but she was clearly ready to defend herself and paint her walls with the group.
"Come forth Bastion let me revive your master and bring some peace to your life."
With her right hand hellfire erupted upward right behind Johanna, the young girl didn't even flinch as the power rose up around her and flickered to unlife with her own power clashing with it. But the demon clearly had far more power in her and drew her magic away from her cohort and Bastion could see his master start forming.
However the man was chained with thick rows of black feathers, his body twisted his head around and Bastion could see his eyes have been pecked out, holes littered his body and as he opened his mouth to say something a raven erupted out of his mouth taking off and fading away with the powerful mage's tongue.
The spell flickered and Aeusantha's eyes actually showed some shock that someone could disrupt her spell.
"It seems a powerful god holds your master and even with my power over souls I cannot raise him...I actually am sorry Bastion."
Onu,Alex and Bastion could actually feel a thread of truth behind her apology. The spell faded away and she turned her now calm face back to the group.
To underestimate me is to doubt my power and with this word I will crush you and your doubts.....BAN-KAI! "Might controls everything and without strength you cannot protect anything... let alone yourself." "Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear.

Bastion lets out a metallic groan, and his fists clench with the sound of grinding rock. "Ravensss....." His metal head turns to look at Zane, and the flickering of the runes on his body speeds up. Something seems to occur to him, however, and his head flickers to stare at Aeusantha.
His fist clenches again. " I never demanded that you wake him, hellspawn. Only that you turn him over to my care. He may sleep, if he needs it. And so may Kira. If you are honest in your intentions, give them over to me."

Alex manages to stop shuffling forward. Running two spells at once at such high power finally takes its toll.
I can't do it. I guess I'm going to find out her sincereity first hand....
He falls forward, the spells breaking. Sleep engulfes him quickly. The coin seems to lose some of its luster.

Kira found herself floating in a blissful world, the clouds around her drifted and drifted over her body letting the fluffy matter break away and reform slowly around her. She could see other loved ones she cared deeply for flying high in the sky with her.
In this paradise she could see perfectly with both eyes, no imperfections covered her body and the world wasn't at war. She could see the others soaring up around her or floating on clouds. The deep blue ocean below was crystal clear and large fish could be seen breaking the surface and flopping back into the beautiful waters.
Aurion was on a cloud to her right.
Zane was on a small cloud spinning upward and drifting down in the air currents.
Bastion himself was using magic to keep himself lifted above with everyone and his master was drifting on a cloud talking to him about his runes and how it was intended to protect the group.
Onu was flying higher than everyone and chasing birds and catching the feathered critters but he always let them go once they were caught.
And Alex was jumping from cloud to cloud as he flipped his coin and he waved with his free hand toward Kira.
______________________________________________________________________________
Alex was walking the streets of new york, his mother next to him and everything seemed alright. There was no violence, no gangs or anyone threatening that he could ever remember. His mothers loving smile shining down on her son. She ruffled his hair and gave him a kiss on the forhead.
"You've grown up so much my sweet young man. Lets go to the park and go on our usual walk."
She kept walking along the streets people passing by and saying hello. The streets were very busy but everyone flashed smiles and waved to the two as they walked toward their destination.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Johanna's magic seemed to calm down as Aeusantha's hand clasped down on her shoulder. She gave Bastion a smile and snapped her fingers.
The three awake instantly all those happy feelings fading away, all those memories of absolute happiness crushed as their eyes focused on Bastion who stood in front of them. All three were standing now.
Aeusantha patted Johanna on the back, slowly tracing her fingers along her neck and backed away from the four.
"So Kira how are you feeling? You too Alex? And what about you Aurion?"
Aurion was silent, his eyes slightly dim not the bright energetic they usually were.
Kira felt her body was rejuvinated and restored to the physical peek one could attain through years of training. The only thing that creeped in her mind was she had something so perfect and it was taken away. All those people she had lost in the years of the wars and now gone...A pain lingered in her mind and was a constant throb.
Alex felt fully alive, his body was coursing with a magical strenth he hasn't ever felt before but it was quickly fading. With the memories of his dream world that felt so real it was painful to bear to leave his mother again. She was just there than nothing.
"I was trying to strengthen their bodies to better fight but you broke my ritual and now you could of harmed their minds...Whatever they were reliving might affect them someday Bastion all because of your distrust..."
Her smile was barely visible as she tried to surpress it but it quickly turned back into her frown and her eyes held the sadness of something deep in her own memories.
To underestimate me is to doubt my power and with this word I will crush you and your doubts.....BAN-KAI! "Might controls everything and without strength you cannot protect anything... let alone yourself." "Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear.

Zane turns his eyes angrily to Aeusantha's. "You invade their minds and pretend that is for their benefit! Bastion, don't listen to the hag. She intends to addict them to her short-lived rejuvenation, and bind them to the will of her master!" He turns to Johanna, pain in his eyes. "And you, my first love... how do you not see what it is you serve? She is a devil... you must release yourself from whatever bonds she has placed you under! Come to me, my love! Please!"
