[Jacob]

*Setting: The moritified Orkhid slowly staggered back to the group, after just seeing the revelations that Arias had presented to him he was by no means in his normal, neutral mood. Seeing Sasha sat on the small log, her arm bloodied and laden with glass he seemed to know that she would want some kind of vengence, that if she ever did see the rogue creature again she wouldn't hesitate in trying to take it out. It was this that worried Tobias, this that made him want to act now, to atleast try and aid the being in escaping and thus hindering the horrific actions of the merciless Sarraphin. Turning Sasha looked up at him, chuckling softly.*

Sasha: "Heh, couldn't get it out in time, could we?"

Glancing down at his urine soaked trousers and shirt he sighed, nearing the fire in hopes it would dry up the moistness. The Sarraphin guard protecting the Sealer glanced over at Tobias and growled lowly, sensing something on the being but not knowing quite what it was.

Tobias: "S-Sasha, can i have a word, please?"

He carefully squatted down near the fire, his face becoming illuminated in yellow-orangey flame.

Sasha: "Depends what about..."

Tobias: "Well, its private..."

Standing to her feet Sasha looked over at the two Sarraphin and stepped over the log away from the fire and towards a small lush tree. Tobias quickly followed, turning briefly to make sure that the guard wasn't attempting to follow.

Sasha: "Well, whats this ab..."

Tobias: "Arias. H-He showed me something. Something that happened to him before he came to this world...this, this Dimension."

Stepping backwards the female became weary of the information that Tobias held, just incase it could get them killed. Which, if it was from Arias, it certainly could.

Sasha: "W-When...when did this happen? Why didn't you shout for help?"

Tobias: "A minute or so ago and, besides, i couldn't, he stopped me...but what he showed me was important. It...it was what really happened. Arias isn't a rogue trying to destroy everything. He's trying to prote..."

As he neared the end of his sentence a hard hand fell upon the back of his neck, placing pressure upon some vital pressure points and also lifting him centimetres above the ground.

Asael: "Tell me, when you served in the Reptilian-Orkhid war did you commune with the Reptilians? Hmmm, oh no, as i recall you just abandoned your squadron and allowed your friends to be slaughtered. Don't listen to him, Sasha. He's done more heinus acts than you or i could imagine."

Flinging Tobias to the right the Sarraphin smirked softly as the mortal hit another tree and collapsed to the ground. It then turned to Sasha and stroked her right cheek.

Asael: "Come, lets end this little escapade."

Turning briefly Sasha glanced down at Tobias who was now slowly starting to stand, she then walked back towards the small camp they had made, leaving Tobias at the mercy of the other Sarraphin who had accompanied Asael.

Asael: "Kill him."

The two large beasts moved towards the small, pathetic mortal. Their arms coarsing with red and blue energy and electricity.

Tobias: "DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, SASHA!! THEY'RE GOING TO KILL US ALL!! TRUST ME!! PLEA..."

*Kaboosh*
An energy blast of pure red destruction hurtled down from above Tobias' head. Missing him by inches but hitting the ground inbetween the two Sarraphin and causing a shockwave that sent them both flailing to the ground. Looking up Asael snarled, Arias was beating his wings and hovering above the ground like a blackened Guardian Angel. Tobias' Angel.

Asael: "YOU SHOULD'VE STAYED AWAY, ARIAS. THIS TIME I WILL WIN!!"

Leaping into the air the enraged being flew at a startling speed towards Arias, its arms outstretched as it tackled the rogue creature, wrapping its arms around Arias' waist and forcing them both to hurtle downward to the ground. Looking up Sasha stepped backwards, shocked that everything was happening so quickly and pondering whether she should help or not. Turning her head she glanced to her Sniper Rifle that was laid out infront of the fire. Quickly she jogged towards it, grabbing it by the mid-section and lifting it up as she turned and looked towards where Arias and Asael where. The two beings were exchanging blows whilst Asael held Arias down...

*Setting: Seeing this as his perfect opportunity Tobias sped towards the small camp, keeping his sights on the large Plasma Rifle that was leant against the log where he once sat. Glancing around as he neared he realised that the Sealer and its guard were making a break for it, beating their wings quickly and rising skyward in hopes of escaping the onslaught of energy blasts that where inevitably going to be discharged. Tobias realised this was his chance of being a hero, realised this act of good could give him the answer he had been searching for. Picking the large Rifle up he placed the butt into his shoulder and cocked it towards the Sealer. Smiling prematurly as he got the creatures head in his crosshairs.*

*Setting: Zooming in on the left eye of the rogue Sarraphin, Sasha took a deep breath and slowly squeezed the trigger, stopping only when she heard the charging of a Plasma Rifle before its discharged. Turning to her left she inhaled in shock as she noticed Tobias taking aim at the Sealer. Now, instead of being precise with her Rifle and taking aim she merely pointed it in Tobias' general direction and fired. The shot rang out violently as the bullet seered through the air and pierced the Orkhids left side, shattering his Kidney. He screamed out in pain, his left leg suddenly going limp with agony and causing him to lean more on his right leg, hopping on his right leg to try and balance himself he inadvertantly turned his back on Sasha and once more took aim. This time managing to fire a blast of pure purple Plasma. In a feared response Sasha had pulled the trigger twice more on her Rifle, sending two more bullets into Tobias' back. The bright flash of Plasma seemed to light up the sky, missing the Sealer as it began beating its wings quicker. In an efforted grunt Tobias brought the Rifles aimer to his eye once more and once again fired, this time the blast hit the Sealer, causing its head to be enveloped in purple Plasma which scorched out the beings eyes and sent it flailing to the ground, its black skin seering off as its white interior began to burn brighter and brighter as it died. Dropping the Rifle Tobias uttered out a pained howl and allowed his body to flop forwards, landing on his forearms he coughed up some blood, allowing it to run down his chin as he tried to cope with the pain. And whilst his back was to the Crossbreed, she slowly stepped upto him. Believing that Tobias had just helped to end existance she placed the nozzle of the Rifle on the bone of Tobias' neck, holding it there with just one hand. Allowing the nozzle to dig into his neck. She then breathed deeply and prepared to pull the trigger...*

Arias: "AAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!"

The sound was primal as Arias focused all its energy into his hands and unleashed a bright blast of white energy into Asaels chest. With a howl of agony and shock Asael flew backwards. Hitting the ground and rolling backwards before stopping slightly. Now free of Asael, Arias sent two single blasts at the other two Sarraphin guards - killing them instantly and thus allowing itself to stop Sasha from killing Tobias. Waving its right hand quickly it telekineticly knocked the Rifle from Sasha's hand...

Arias: "HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH!! DON'T KILL HIM, SASHA!! DON'T KILL HIM!! I'VE GOT TO GO NOW, SASHA, BEFORE THEY KILL ME. BUT HE SAVED THE WORLD!! HE SAVED ALL THE WORLDS!! "

Upon finishing this sentence Arias stretched out its right hand and seemingly touched a part of the air - causing it to ripple. It then turned to that ripple and leapt towards it. Leapt in it. Leapt into a different world without a trace.

Asael: "Y...You BASTARD!!"

Slowly standing to its feet, its eyes burning with pure fury, it made its way to the injured Tobias and the fearful Sasha.

Sasha: "I tried to stop him, i shot him thre..."

Asael waved its left hand towards her, beating her to the ground with its mind powers. It then stepped over to Tobias, placed its right foot under the space between Tobias' stomach and the ground and flipped him over.

Asael: "You've...ruined...EVERYTHING!!"

Sasha sat up, snatching back her left wing in agony as abit of it had flapped into the fire. She groaned gently, retracting it back.

Asael: "You do know that you will never know what happened to your pathetic, little Daddy now, don't you? Never know if Spider was telling the truth or not. Hah - i could erase you from existance right now, just like Alei did to Spider and the others. But that, that would be too painless..."

Grabbing Tobias' throat Asael picked him up and then threw him on the small camp fire. Immediatly Tobias tried to get off, but Asael held him down psychicly. Wanting Tobias to suffer the most unbearable pain.

Asael: "Arias won't come back and save you, you know? Heh, it can't. It doesn't even know which Dimension we're in. You saved its life...saved all life, for now atleast, and now yours will have to be ended."

Tobias writhed around in burning agony, his face twisted as he screamed out in pain and his clothes burnt off his body. His skin bubbled and popped, singed and seered...until...nothing. His body twitched effortlessly as his last scream morphed into nothing more but a gurgle. And as the smell of burning flesh engulfed the air, Asael turned to Sasha.

Asael: "And now you..."

Sasha: "W-What did you mean that he saved all life, for now? I thought, i thought he had helped in destroying it."

Stepping forwards Asael smirked, opening up its wings and shaking them off as it neared its winged helper.

Asael: "And thats why you shot him? Heheh, poor Sasha. So gullible. Always defending the beings that turn out to be bad...just like with K-Jal. Maybe, maybe because you are bad. Because you are evil. Because you have evil flowing through you..."

Sasha: "You...you lied to me...you, you..."

Forming a bright ball of blue electricity in its right hand, Asael held it out infront of her.

Asael: "If only you knew the truth..."

With a flick of a wrist it caused the ball to hurtle towards the Crossbreed, hitting her chest with an explosive flash and wrapping around her Heart. With a faint gasp, Sasha grasped her chest with her right hand before slowly falling down to her knees. Tears welling up in her eyes as blackness began to descend. Asael watched with glee. Disappointed with its failure in catching Arias, but getting some pleasure out of killing the mortals who aided in it escape. Casting its head up, Asael looked to the sky, to the starry filled sky. It then leapt verticly up, beated his wings and went home in a surge of lightening and thunder...
