-The video feed clicks on to show Tir standing on what looks to be a giant tower of rubble. Sorry, Sho, he commandeered it for this purpose. He needed to be tall. He's also drenched in blood, having made no attempt to clean up after devouring Gremio.-

Ah ha... ah ha ha ha... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!

I KNEW it! I told them they were all going to die. They were idiots, the lot of them. But hey, Discedo, let me THANK YOU personally for getting rid of the competition. Now all that's left is to inact the final movement in this little opera of screams.

-He pulls off the glove on his right hand. No automail beneath. Flesh and bone. And an angrily glowing symbol.-

It doesn't have much left... but I've been smart. I knew this would happen. But I'm not going to die like some rat in a corner. I said I'd become a God of Death and I meant it. And I'm going to start with this entire city.

-The black miasma, it seems to scream with a thousand voices, begins to pour out from the Rune. The symbol appears above him, glowing like a sun and pretty much casting off an aura of death and destruction. Shit just got real.-

I'M GOING TO KILL EACH AND EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU IN ONE FELL SWOOP! I WILL BE A GOD!

TRUE RUNE OF LIFE AND DEATH! UNLEASH YOUR JUDGEMENT ON THESE PATHETIC HUMANS! LET'S SHARE THIS BANQUET OF SOULS AND FLESH!

-Oh snap.-

[[ Spoiler: It's not gonna work. But someone might want to stop him anyways. Riful, now's your chance to shut his arrogant ass up! ]]

[When whatever spell the monster was preparing seemed to begin, Lute racked his head for a counter. This wasn't magic he was familiar with. He halted his assault and prepared his own counter measure. Perhaps if he could create a barrier in time?

Another magic circle similar to his first grew on the ground, stretching out and encompassing them all. A spell like this would take time, he really should have been weaving it slowly throughout the battle, but he had assumed a small creature like this would have been simpler to deal with.

Slowly white birds began to flutter around, the shikigami he had created long ago and let lose within the city. He used them to assist him now. Yet, as he wove his spell something seemed wrong with the creature, as if the spell they had intended to unleash where somehow backfiring. This was not a situation Lute was unfamiliar with, many a time an over confidant mage would try and cast a spell beyond them, only to mismanage it and be consumed by their spell. Still, even if it backfired, it did not mean that they would be safe, or anyone else in the city.]

YOU'RE BETRAYING ME? AFTER ALL THAT? I COULD GIVE YOU EVERYTHING! I COULD FEED YOU THOUSANDS!

-The youma began to thrash about as the flames began to sweep around him. The reaper of the Rune appeared then from a pooling of the darkness, rising from the ground. He wore the familiar black robe, carried the familiar sickening scythe, and held a... familiar face.

It was Tir. Or at least the image of him. It made it perfectly clear who Soul Eater considered to be its master.-

.... you... YOU! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

SOMEBODY HELP ME! IT'S GOING TO RIP ME APART!

[ Naja hesitated, seeing the image of Tir appear before them. Then, she smirked. She didn't know what was going on...but it was clear that this was over.

This was something she couldn't get too close too. Carefully, Naja stepped back, a flash spell flickering at her hands. If something went wrong, she'd be ready...but her gut instinct told her that this was over. ]

It's over, impostor.

YOU CAN'T JUST LET THIS HAPPEN! DON'T YOU IDIOTS HAVE SOME HONOR?!

-A cry for mercy? It was too late. Soul Eater raised its scythe, ready to cast the final judgement on this creature.-

[It was over, wasn't it? The end of the creature, of this irritating little farce of theirs. And now... seeing the darkness turned against the youma, Riful steps back.

And smiles.]

What a shame, isn't it? It seems like you are too weak a master after all.

-Cut.

Through the confusion. Through the sorrow. Through the madness.

The Soul Eater's scythe cut through the Youma and his scream roared like banshee. There was no more painful experience on a physical, mental, and spiritual level then having one's soul devoured. Nothing could equal it. The look on the Youma's face showed it all. It had twisted and contorted into a grotesque shape of utter horror. And he would not be allowed to simply die and escape it. He would feel the torturous pain for so long as Soul Eater existed. This youma would be added to its... special collection.

Soul Eater turned to face the three, a ghostly and ironically peaceful smile on its pale white face. And once the screaming was over, it all faded into nothingness. The only sound heard was the dull clang of Heaven Fang hitting the floor and rolling towards their feet.-

[As Soul Eater devoured the youma, Lute was held speechless. All the things he had seen and witnessed, in his life and the life as Bass' puppet, he had never seen anything quite like it. But, he was sure this was all that would come, and as the figure faded away his assumptions were confirmed.

When the quiet came, as it usually did from such matters, he slowly let lose the spell he had been crafting. Letting it slowly dissolve into the air around them. Perhaps there should be a moment of silence for the departed, not the youma, but for Tir.

In the end he didn't know what to say, he just watched the spot where Heaven Fang had fallen. Someone should keep it for when it's owner returned.]

[ Naja just watches as Tir's impostor vanishes, putting her morning star back in her belt. ]

...it's over.

[ Then, quietly, she walks forward, carefully picking up Heaven Fang, examining it carefully. She'd have to return this when he came back. Then, without a word, she glances at the other two that arrived to fight with an apologetic look. Moments later she begins walking off. ]

So it seems.

[What a pity it had to turn out this way. A great pity. Perhaps the scientists would be a bit more thoughtful, next time, and bring her pawns when she could make proper use of them.

Perhaps~]

Well, I guess this match is done with.

[Finally. She'll be turning away to head back, except-- now that the adrenaline rush is over, various injuries are now making themselves known, and Riful will be wincing, and then making an angryfaes before hauling herself off to the hospital instead.]
