Rolling backwards to avoid not only Tibalt, but the new addition of Jessica's energy blast and slash, Ravin came to his feet, he readied himself again

"A bit unorthodox for a duel, I admit"

Jessica could handle Tibalt, better than a sword and scathing remarks could, definitely. Rae-Ala was what mattered. Taking the key, he attempted to advance on the cage, using the ensuing battle as a distraction, and moving as quietly and quickly as he could.

Tibalt glanced at Jessica as she stood away from Gabriel, who was now sitting up and speaking normally. The color had returned to his eyes, and he was becoming more aware than before. She has....Awakened him.

Before he could say more, the newly inspired Jessica rushed forward, slashing at Tibalt and unleashing a beam of pure power toward him. The demon prince side stepped successfully, however she also came running behind the beam of holy energy. Tibalt thrust his obsidian sword forward, both clashing with one another again. He pulled back and slashed against her shoulder.

The Demon King glared at Gabriel, who was now alive and well, minus the severed arm that was still on the ground. Damn...Dammit! You insolent fools!

The Demon King stood upright suddenly, and a whoosh of wind blew through the cave. He had to be at least fifteen feet in height, his deep black eyes glaring at the rest of the group. Disfigured, ripped apart black wings spread from his back. He began to walk forward, stomping against the ground, his hands open with claws. The middle finger of each hand had an onyx claw the size of Jessica's sword. You all will pay.

Meanwhile, The Demon King was too occupied with this discovery to notice Ravin. As Ravin ran over with Samson to the golden cage, he saw the curled figure of Rae-Ala. She had long, blonde hair and a pair of dull blue eyes. Her wings were curled around her frame. The entire cage seemed darker than the other portions of the room, and Rae-Ala herself was...dim. Upon hearing footsteps, she glanced up to find Ravin standing with the golden key. In a sudden fit of happiness, she crawled over, against the door.

"You have found me, mighty warrior," She said, "I knew it would happen. The gods...they told me a once-evil man would be the one to release me. They told me a group of heroes would come to my aid. I only had to wait."

"I only wish I could have been released in time...to save your fallen comrades. I know it's hard to lose so many for a seemingly unreachable cause. But now, you are here, Ravin."

A smile crossed her face, "Release me, fearsome hero. Make everything right in the world."

Jessica smiled, she was enjoying the fight as if she knew she'd win it. The woman felt really confident and adrenaline began to rush down her veins. She saw the obsidian sword going for her shoulder. Easily she blocked it with her sword, remembering what happened the last timr she was hit by it. Her sword immediately glow in an intense red color "You... and your father will die today, filthy demon" she spoke to the price as she 'stared' dirently into his eyes with hate "You won't escape my sword like the last time!" Jessica then slashed forwards with great force, enough to even lift the demon off from the ground and unleashed the stored power from the last hit. Her chest wound was still bleeding, she can't stretch this fight for too long "It's not the time to worry about details... this is it... this is the final battle, I'll worry about wounds later... for now, I gotta fight at 200% of my capacity and avenge my family..." she noticed that the Demon King got distracted and wanted to step into the battle. She also noticed that Ravin was on his way to free Rae-Ala, "Keep it up Ravin...". Jessica then yelled at the Demon King "HEY! You big fat pile of flesh!, I have no problems into battling you and your puny son!" Jessica noticed that Gabriel's sword was still on the ground, she got near it and picked it up with one hand. She smirked, "Thanks Gabriel.." she thought to herself as she holded both swords firmly and stood in front of her enemies "C'mmon!!!" she clashed both blades with great force, and she felt her sword getting charged more than usual "Maybe I'm not so screwed at all", in a fighting stance the woman yelled "Show me what you got!!".

Tibalt chuckled as his sword was blocked, however he stumbled a bit as he jumped away from the slash of power. The pure force caused him to fly back into a rock wall, however he wasn't scratched by the powerful sword. Tibalt rolled his neck and smirked, rushing forward. At the same time, The Demon King would be seen smirking slightly and staying silent. His walk turned into a run, and he thrust both sword-like fingers toward the swords woman as Tibalt rushed to her side.

"Well... no one said it'd be easy" between Tibalt and the Demon King's attack, Jessica choose to run at tibalt and block his attack with both swords making an X shape, she then pulled Tibalt between her and the Demon King's attack just in time before his attack landed on her, she holded the prince's sword, the clash was making her sword charge even more. She'll store as much energy as possible and release all in 1 hit in the correct moment.

Tibalt clashed once more with Jessica, and his smirk was still implanted on his face. He got up close to Jessica, You won't win. You will never win.

Just as he pulled back for another swing, he realized Jessica had led him into a different spot. He felt a large shadow behind him, and his smirk dropped. In that same moment, The Demon King's claw came down, completely severing Tibalt's free arm and slashing Jessica successfully, causing deep gashes in both her face and torso. Tibalt's eyes widened and he stumbled back as black blood spurted from the wound. What the hell?!

Next time watch where you're walking. I won't hesitate to kill you for your insolence.

As Jessica would inevitably stumble back, The Demon King would push forward again. Then, he stopped, turning to Tibalt, who was against the wall panting as blood continued to pour from him. FIGHT YOU FOOL.

The Demon King slashed his claw toward Tibalt, causing him to jump up and reluctantly run toward Jessica, his only attached arm holding his sword and slashing at her. The Demon King slashed his claws against Jessica's swords.

Jessica gasped, she wasn't expecting the Demon King to slash at his son with no hesitation, she could only move her head back, the blade cuting through her left cheek and dealing another wound on her chest, she stumbled backwards and kneeled trying to recover from the hit "You monster..." she said angrily, the top side of her armor was practically destroyed.

Groaning the woman stood up, she sensed both of them running at great speeds towards her, she blocked Tibalt's attack with Justice and the demon king's claws with her sword. The impact made her kneel causing a crack on the ground, she yelled because of the amount of force she's making to keep both blades from cuting her into a half.

Jessica was about to give up when she decided to unleash all the power stored on her sword to push the Demon King backwards for a brief second. She then immediately turned on Tibalt and clashed Justice against his obsidian sword, letting go a battle cry Jessica took the oportunity to have a clean stab on the prince's chest.

OOC: Sorry for the short post. I'm away from home and have very little time to type this up
Ravin bowed low

"You flatter me, Angel! It would be my honor to release you"

Fitting the key into the lock, Ravin turned it, awaiting for some spectacular display to announce Rae-Ala's freedom

Even with Jessica's mighty power, there was simply no way she could hold off two of the most powerful demons on the face of the universe on her own. Holding the claws of The Demon King with one sword and Tibalt's obsidian sword with the other, she was already beginning to lose her grip as the power of both swords began to collect. She fell to her knees, and Tibalt took the chance to slash his obsidian sword, stabbing her thigh. She yelped in pain, and the necrosis already began within her wound. The blackness would begin to spread, she was on the verge of dropping the swords and dropping her guard due to pure agony.

Jessica, the blind swords woman. I expected more.

She fought valiantly. Tibalt replied.

I wanted more from her...She simply disappointed me. Put her down.

Tibalt smiled, happy that he had regained the approval of his father. The bleeding had stopped, and his arm was quickly just becoming a stump. With his one arm, he lifted the sword up to thrust the blade into her chest. Gabriel, no longer desiring to see any of this, stood to fight. The Demon King laughed in the background. Then, a thought crossed everyone's minds.

Where was Ravin?

Suddenly, a blast of light blinded the entire room. Tibalt and the Demon King were both thrust harshly into the rock wall, however anyone in the room would only hear the impact. It was as if the sun had suddenly been brought down into the cave, illuminating everything with its holy light that everyone couldn't lay their eyes upon it. For what seemed like an eternity, it was this way. Nobody able to see a thing.

Then, the sun spots slowly went away. Vision had returned. There, standing in a flowing white gown, was the mighty Rae-Ala herself. Her dark blonde hair had turned into a shimmering light, her deep blue eyes transforming into a holy orange. Dark blue fires circled her, and her lightly colored wings had spread out, giving her a wingspan of at least five feet. She was gorgeous, and a sight for the sore eyes of the heroes.

Ravin was standing beside her. His wounds were not healed, but any bleeding was stopped. Lissette was healed, however still unconscious. Even though Marcus wasn't in the cave, the sheer presence of the other arch-angel would cause him to heal slowly but surely. Gabriel's wound had significantly less pain. The necrosis had stopped in Jessica's thigh, along with all bleeding. However, she was still exhausted and her movements would be slowed. And there was something else different about the swords woman....

"By the gods," She said, "I can see."

Indeed it was true, her dull eye color had transformed into a sea blue. She could see everything clear as day, under the guise of Rae-Ala's holy light that spread across the depths of the cave. Tibalt and The Demon King were only now beginning to stand, snarls on the King's face.

Tibalt, Prince of demons, The voice of the beautiful arch angel boomed as she walked closer to the duo, Platryathin, King of Demons...you shall pay for your sins against humanity.

Beside her, a large, shimmering white sword formed in her hand. She clasped her fist around it, holding it tight as it sparked with holy light.

Father...We must work together to defeat her..

The Demon King turned to his son. Suddenly, rage overcame him, and he swung his claw. Tibalt didn't have time to move as he was beheaded, his head rolling down onto the ground. You have compromised me and distracted me with your desires for too long. I fight this battle alone.

The Demon King turned, and put his hand out. From it emerged an obsidian sword similar to Tibalt's, except it was much larger. Another emerged in his opposite hand. I will battle all of you, and I will still win.

Rae-Ala and Ravin levitated closer to Jessica, forming a mighty trio (With Samson sitting upon Ravin's head) against the armed king of all the demons.

She was indeed about to give up on holding the demons' attacks. Her chest increased the pain each second. At least, I kept my promise to Septimius..." she thought as she was prepared to get slashed by both of her enemies, when suddenly a burst of light pushed the demons back onto the rock wall, she immediately drop her swords and fell to the ground quite tired "what was that?-" she said as she slowly lifred her head and opened her eyes by pure instinct, and then... "What... what is this?" she asked to herself as her eyes flickered through different colors, after a few seconds Jessica's eyes color changed to a beautiful combination of silver around the pupil and sea-blue in the rest of the iris. "By the gods... I- I can see!!!.... I can see????..." she looked around her still confused "I can see!!" She yelled to her companions around her. She looked at Gabriel, and her eyes began to shine, the woman smiled and looked at Rae-Ala and Ravin getting closer to her.

She is indeed tired, but once again, she thought on more reasons to stay alive and win this final battle. She picked up both swords and looked at them for a few seconds, their texture, their colors which names she didn't know. And then she looked at the demons. Her expression went serious, she stretched her arms and stood once again in a fighting stance. "Let's finish this" the woman firmly and decided.

OOC: The suspense is real.

Ooc: my prediction: jessica sees how ugly gabriel really is and breaks up with him.

The Demon King watched as Jessica and Ravin got into their respective fighting stances, and a smirk was plastered on his face. He didn't really care about those two, he would likely be able to finish them off rather quickly. Rae-Ala, however, was a problem. It took some effort to get the arch angel in that golden cage, and now it was burning in holy flames. I'll figure it out, he said to himself.

You will pay, Demon King. The arch angel said, swinging her sword in her arm before lunging forward. Both swords clashed, causing a whoosh of wind to almost knock Jessica and Ravin over. A crater formed underneath them as their powers fought against one another, holy orange eyes meeting pitch black. White fire meeting obsidian. If any normal mortal were to set their eyes upon such a sight, they would likely burn alive.

I will not bow down to you Rae-Ala, The Demon King snarled, Never.

He pushed forward, and Rae-Ala stumbled slightly. She was still weakened by her time in the cage, and even with her magnificent power, a metaphoric arm wrestling match wouldn't be the way to win. She jumped back, slashing her sword diagonally, however The Demon King had predicted her movements. Their swords clashed once more.

Jessica ran towards the Demon King from the side with both swords in hand, she clashed them several times between eachother charging it s much as possible "Don't forget about us!!!" She yelled to him before attemptig a clean slash at the monster's back.
