She began kicking, trying to kick out of the attack and saw that it wasn't really working. She thought for a minute and remebered that she had a lesser used power. She began to try to fly out of the attack. She figured t might work, unless the attack flew with her. ::

"What happened to the rest of the group, Belasco?"

:: She asked between gasps for air, her eyes narrowed. Thinking about whether or not he would lie about what he had done to them. ::

Euthalia's attempted flight does her little good. The attack against her isn't like a physical one, its not affected by distance. With a gesture, Belasco hurls her downwards to hit the floor. Barking out some sort of ancient spell, he sends bolts of electricity through her body.

Astral Sati

:: As Belasco began to sink into the quicksand, Sati felt a slight smirk threatening to form, and, instead, channeled her energy into something more useful... waiting until he had sunk into it, his hands lowered into it, just his head and shoulders above the surface, she let go of her hold over it... and the quicksand returned to rock, pinning him there in a highly painful grip, his hands and lower body pinned beneath there. The whole time, her banshee scream had continued, and only now, when her real self was finishing her task, did she stop to draw breath ::


Sati

:: From her back, sprouted an identical pair of powerful, wide leathery wings; the wings of a dragon, part of a powerful form which Sati had taken multiple times before. She batted them briefly severel times, testing them out, the razor sharp edges whistling through the air. Lifting off the ground, she hurtled over towards Belasco, sending a powerful draft of wind into his face to keep the already disoriented Belasco from managing to somehow lock his concentration on her. Sweeping down beside him, as her wings beat at the air furiously, they inflicted multiple slashes, cuts, and deep furrows into his exposed skin and flesh. The whole time, she had been moving as fast as she actually could in this realm, giving her attacks that extra edge... and, as her teeth lengthened into sharp, poisonous fangs, the teeth of a poisonous cobra, she faded out of view.... reappearing in a slight puff of smoke behind Belasco. She used her wings to keep her feet off the ground and to allow her a swift escape... and leaned forward, dipping down as fast as she could do sink the poisonous fangs into the back of his neck ::

"Hmmm, sounds interesting, however, what kinds of things? hmmm? I mean how can I make a good choice without options?"

Belasco smiles at Rama.

"It should be an easy choice, either join me or you die. Die most horribly I should probably add."

Belasco's taloned hand reaches out and scratches Rama's cheek, drawing a line of blood. The sorcerer smiles cruelly and licks his finger. He murmers a word and Rama begins to feel his body stiffening, his skin becoming harder, like stone.

"Oh well, since you don't seem to want to make an intellegent decisions, then I guess I will just have to keep you around as art work."

 

[Storm]

:: As Rama shuddered feeling the cut along his cheek he glared stoneily at Belasco. As Rama feels his bones turning to stone, his manipulative powers go into work immedatly as he amplifies his voice to glass shattering decibals. From his mouth comes the exact same battle cry that Xena Warrior Princess would cry out. Rama sees how the high pitched cry affects Belasco and enables the wind pushing him on the wall to be let down. He pulls out his Rose Whip and with pinpoint accuracy while still screaming slashes it while flipping cutting through the chain that holds the Eye of Fire, with the thorns of the whip which could cut through anything. As the Eye falls Rama TKs it to his hands whereas he backflips away ::

She stood a little wide eyed at the furry thing sticking out of her behind and then grinned, wiggling the tail around as her senses became sharper. She looked at Belasco and immitated his earlier bow.*

"Thank you, Cats are one of the most graceful and powerful creatures in this world. But i prefer tigers."

*Maybe a little brawl wouldn't be too bad, after all she had to get past Belasco to see her friends again. She waved her hand and blew up Belasco's hands, the quickly waved her hand again and filled his body with enormous body spasms, hopefully making his feet give out from underneath him.*

Belasco explodes into shards of a glass like substance that fly through the air, some of which strike Amy, cutting her. His body reforms quickly though and he begins to fling eldritch bolts at her before she can totally focus her attempt to make his body spasm.

"That was fun, little girl. But lets play another game!"

He continues to throw the eldritch bolts at her, making her dodge out of the way to avoid being hit.

:: Before Tobias even realised what was heading towards him, he had subconsciously activated his telekinesis, and with the slight squint of his eyes deflected it from himself, forcing it to crash to the ground by his side, where he quickly moved away from it. Slowly, Tobias' confidence was building. ::

"You call that an attack? Pfft...I may not be at the same levels as my friends but I certainly should be given more credit than that. Sword!"

:: The sword from the suit of armour fades out and into Tobias' hands. Tobias then creates the visual and audio hallucination of himself running with all his might towards Balasco and aiming the sword at his chest. While Balasco is distracted the real Tobias runs behind Balasco, and slides the sword underneath the necklace which is holding the gem round his neck and pulls. The necklace breaks and the gem falls to the floor as Tobias flicks his hand and gives Balasco an enormous body spasm. While this is happening Tobias falls to the floor and tries to make a grab for the gem... ::

 

[Ikaris]

Even as Toby scrambles for the Gem, he can hear the sound of metal striking metal from the direction of the armor. Ignoring it for the moment, he grabs the Gem and holds it up triumphantly. The sound grows louder and begins to take on the cadence of applause. As Toby looks up, he sees the metal encased hand a split second before it strikes him, sending him across the legnth of the room to hit the far wall. As Toby slumps into unconsciousness, the last thing he sees is Belasco taking the helmet of the armor off. The Sorcerer gestures and the rest of his armor fades away.

"Stupid child, I've been casting illusions for hundreds of years, you really never stood a chance."

With arcane words tumbling from his lips, the Demon Sorcerer creates a large cluster of crystals (over 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide). With another gesture, Toby's body floats into the crystal, passing through it with a slight ripple. Once he has imprisioned Toby in his prison, Belasco wakes him up then casts another spell. Toby's skeleton is pulled from his body and begins to wave at him from outside the crystal. Had Belasco allowed it, the pain would have driven Toby back to unconsciousness, but the sorcerer took a greater pleasure in the helplessness of his opponent.

 

[Ikaris]

Maia finds herself in a slightly different situation than the others. In the throne room that she is in, Belasco remains sitting on his throne. At the foot of the throne stands S'ym. The huge demon has been freed from his chain and holds the thing in his hands, slapping one end of it rhythmically against his leg. He smiles cruelly at the Siren.

Belasco: "She is yours, S'ym. Her powers have been bound. Do whatever you like except kill her. She will make a fitting sacrifice to the Elder Gods."

S'ym: "You got it, boss! Hey there sweet thing, you and me are gonna be getting busy! I think you owe me some sugar."

The demon advances on Maia who finds that Belasco has indeed bound her powers. She attempts to defend herself physically but is quickly subdued by the demon. He slaps her, causing her to be dazed and drags her from the room by the hair.

 

[jex_charmedUK]

OOC I hope with my skeleton outside my body, I'm not dead just yet am I, Ikaris?

 

[Ikaris]

OOC:You are imprisioned within the Crystal. The spell removing the skeleton was completed and the best you could do is float around as a ghostly astral form. The Crystal would prevent you from casting any spells against Belasco. You are in need of rescue.

The loud noises work to confuse Belasco, he loses his sense of direction. He begins to lash out indiscriminently with eldritch bolts of power. Rama is forced to dodge the bolts which are coming so hard and fast that even with his agility he is hard pressed to avoid them. Unable to maintain the shriek, he focuses on avoiding the attacks. As a very large hole is blasted in the wall next to him, Rama knows that Belasco is no longer playing with him and fully intends to kill him painfully. The Sorcerer stops flinging bolts long enough to cast a mystic shield around himself. Totally blind he knows that he is extremely vulnerable.

Belasco screams in pain as the poison begins to work through his body. Instinctively, his head rears back and cracks Sati across the nose, momentarily blinding her with pain. Belasco begins to scream out the words of a spell that blasts Sati back away from him. Another spell frees him from the stone that hold him prisoner. As Belasco is lifted from the hole, his body begins to glow with his power. From where she is staggering to her feet, Sati knows that the games are done, only one of them is coming out of this alive.

 

[Alexa Davalos]

:: As Belasco's head cracked across her nose, Sati fell backwards, the pain blinding her vision, and, moments later, found herself on the floor. Taking a short moment to regain her senses, she staggered to her feet, watching him, her heart singing slightly as his body glowing with energy. Still, she was not willing to back down now, not while they had come this far. She gave her astral self an almost imperceptible nod, knowing that her astral's time in existence was almost up. Both Sati's transformed their body... a subtle change making them vampires, temporarily eliminating the need to breath ::

Astral Sati

:: With the snap of her fingers, she took away Belasco's speech, preventing him from saying anymore spells. She sent three blasts of water towards Belasco from three different directions... but before they would have touched him, the water itself transformed into poison, and the poison molecules spread out, all around Belasco, the deadly poison adding to the poison fangs should have been enough to severely weaken him; it not being something that could normally be telekinetically deflected ::

Real Sati

:: In her hands, she formed four extremely highly charged electricity balls, and hurled them all towards Belasco... each one, she teleblinked out and in directly on his body, hitting him with huge force and speed. One, she aimed at his head. One, she aimed at his chest. The other two she aimed at the chain holding the eye to his neck, and she prepared herself to teleblink the eye to her should it fall ::

 

[Storm]

:: Kurama dodges the bolts of force that Belasco is suddenly throwing widely around, but it seemed that he was able to get the Eye and now Belasco is desparate as he is now fully blind. As Rama sees the barrier set up, his manipulation powers go into work, first he paryilzizes the muscles in Belasco's throat and arms stopping any speaking and movement of the arms. Beside the barrier, Kurama's Astral self appears with Rose Whip drawn. ::

Astral Rama

:: As the astral materializes with its Rose Whip Drawn, it immediatly begins to slash the whip repeatedly and with great speed all along the barrier. Meanwhile the real Rama.... ::

Real Rama

:: Kurama watches as his astral sets to work, and now it is time for Kurama to as well. Giving a "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE" gesture, a telekinetic bomb blast with great force is unleashed on the side of the barrier where the slashes are being given, hopefully with enough force to shatter it and send Belasco flying from the blast backwards and into a jagged metal spike which Rama conjures and teleblinks into a wall so that Belasco is impaled ::

Belasco beings to choke even before the energy balls strike him. Teary eyed from the pain and failing fast, he launches an eldritch bolt straight at Astral Sati, incinerating her nearly instantly. He stumbles towards real Sati, his hand glowing with dark power. Just as he is about to launch another bolt, the chain holding the Eye snaps and the amulet falls, robbing him of his sight instantly.

 

[Alexa Davalos]

Yes!

:: Her hand reached out, and into it, blinked the Eye of Fire... she glanced at it for a moment, relieved that she had managed to take away his sight. Still, she was aware that he could still manage to hurt her by listening or by simply good luck, she shrunk herself down to a childlike size as the astral was incinerated, making her so light on her feet that, with her natural agility, she could easily manage to move without making noise. Quickly, she moved around to his other side ::

:: Concentrating on him, vines of rock twisted up from the ground, wrapping themselves around him before solidifying into adamantium, the strongest material that Sati could think of, pinning him in place. Less than a fraction of a second later, she conjured three throwing discs... and hurled them at Belasco's back, head, and neck, intending to decapitate him completely in the blink of an eye ::

The demon advances on Maia who finds that Belasco has indeed bound her powers. She attempts to defend herself physically but is quickly subdued by the demon. He slaps her, causing her to be dazed and drags her from the room by the hair.

:: Seperated from the others, she turned her head to find S'ym still alive and well, free from the chains that bound him back in the cave ::

"You."

:: That word spitted from her lips. Her eyes widened slightly as her jaw dropped a bit to hear those words escape Belasco's mouth. Sacrifice?!! She wasnt going to let that happen. Maia turned her attention back to S'ym who kept pulling her strings, making her more and more enraged. She rose her hand, trying to TK him but found out the hard way, her powers were bound ::

Damnit!

:: Winded from the slap, she pulled out her sais from her pack, and clung them together in an X position, before leaping into the air, slashing S'ym across the throat, before landing on the ground. With her back faced to him momentarily, she spun around, spin kicking him with all her strength ::

"I may not have any powers right now, but that doesnt mean you can have any of me."

:: Maia flashed him her engagement ring before stepping into defensive position. Besides. I'm engaged. ::

OOC: Can I still use spells?

OOC: S'ym is dragging you by the hair so unless you are wanting it ripped out of your head, flipping around and whatnot is a very bad idea. And no to the spells. Belasco took care of that already.

Either Belasco would hit his own barrier or pass through it and crash into a stone wall ::

OOC: Astral Rama can't get in the shield. It would be pointless to have a shield that was penetrable like that. You and Astral need to work from the outside, but you are doing quite well.

OOC: Not sure if you would be able to create adamantium since its an alloy and would take more time to create than you have. Iwill agree to granite or anyother building material that you think would be at hand. Throwing disks intended to decapitate someone are gonna have to be big.

BIC:

As the rock tendrils tighten around him, Belasco is unable to catch his breath. The poison cloud he had been in is weakening his overtaxed system already. The snake venom is destroying his nervous system. Blinded by the loss of the Eye, he is unable to even find Sati. His system finally collapses even before the disks strike him. As he dies, there is another blinding flash of light and Sati finds herself again in the throne room. The Eye gone from her hand. This time though, Belasco is sitting on his throne, still wearing the Eye, aged until he looks hundreds of years old. He feebly raises a hand and lightning strikes out at Sati...
