Aku's gaze rested on Kyle. And quite frankly, for a moment, he did NOT look very amused.
Until, of course, he burst into laughter again. "What kind of fool do you take me for, child? DARKNESS does not awaken darkness... why, the prospect is LAUGHABLE!"
He then turned down to Double D, who was now the one petrified in primal fear. "...foolish attempts at destruction, however...those seem to work quite nicely."
Aku's face shifted around in contemplation as he sized him up. The boy REEKED of light. He was practically a fountain of it, the source of light energy within him was too great to miss. And it made him sick.
"...soooo puuuure..." he slithered, stroking his beard. "A CHAMPion of light... a HERO loved by all... at least, that is what I am in-sin-uating."
Double D gulped, falling back onto his rear as Aku quickly bent down to his level, his wiiiide grin dangerously close. The angel choked on the sheer darkness he emmited this up close.
"... oooohhhh... you look nervous. HA!! Some hero you are..."

"Tch!" Masahiro drew his sword. "Villains that talk too much die easier!" However, as he brought his blade about on Aku, it did nothing... except break. Masahiro gawked, but spat and tossed the broken sword aside. "Great... invulnerable demon. Just what we needed."
"You weren't the first to try," Felix said with a sigh, holding up his broken sword as well.
"Now I'm angry," Masahiro said, though he looked more annoyed then "pissed off" as it were. "Perhaps my eye will pierce your armor, Aku? Let's find out soon, shall we?"

(FF gave me permission to skip her this turn XD)
Aku frowned at the two other angels attempting to bring him harm. Did they not KNOW the Great and Mighty Aku could not be harmed by such methods!?! What insufferable fools! He cast them all aside easily with a sweep of laser eyes at their feet. His power was still rather minimal, but the urchins were no threat to him either way.
All of his focus was trained on this carrier of light. It was unlikely, but the prospect of this one being a threat was still present. The last time he allowed a possible ursurper live led to a never-ending struggle between demon and samurai. And he had yet to locate the samurai in this world; that would be his first priority after this.
"ENOUGH squabbling," he chided the others, grinning rather wickedly at Double D, who was trembling. Why!? Surely he had faced greater foes than THIS... right? "Besides... I do not wish harm on your champion. Noooo... I wish to reward him from releasing me unto this world."
His grin was borderline GIDDY. "Are you ready to recieve your gift, Champion?"
Double D only got a far as tensely shaking his head before the demon's great claws rose above him, filling with whisps of darkness, tipped with blood red. And in one swift movement, that gigantic claw came smashing down upon the Angel of Light, digging a deep crater into the earth. The angel's cry of pain, more kinds then one, echoed louder than the trembles of the earth, and the crater was left smoking when the claw retracted.

"EDWARD!" Felix screamed, seeing the claw come down. Both angels had evaded Aku's attack by taking flight, but neither had seen that coming.
"DAMNIT! Felix, get down there!" Masahiro said, then offered distraction by "scanning" Aku's body with his eye of destruction. Multiple explosions would take place, trying to set Aku ablaze, but the demon would not be effected by destructive power.
Felix, meanwhile, landed next to the crater. "Edward! Edward, are you ok?!" he asked, running towards it to look.

Sitting among such serenity, was the happiness of any such peace loving creature such as himself. With his mace to the side, and his magic fluxing regularly, the powerful sage known only as Roland sat among the greenery meditating. It felt like such a long time since what had happened mere months ago... Lucifer being defeated, and all that, by those two powerful young men, and one of those young men being reborn as an angel...
His old heart may not have been too well made for excitement really, given his old age, but even he felt it skip a beat in excitement when he saw it. Such a grand sight...
Now here he was, mentally training himself for his next challenge. Ever since that day, he had traveled around the island learning new spells and new tricks, making himself ever stronger all the while. Smiling in his serenity, Roland continued to meditate peacefully...
... ... ... Suddenly the man winced in his meditation before breaking out of it. Floating back to the ground, since he had been floating in his meditation, he stood up and looked around carefully...
"What is this... Disturbance?" His old voice croned as he looked around carefully...
SLAM....
With a jump, the old man turned to see several birds flying out of their trees in panic...
Roland couldn't blame them in all honesty... He could already feel the balance of power between good and evil shifting dramatically...
The old man picked up his mace...
"I had better investigate..."

Kyle's eyes widened as the lasers came his way, and he brought up a wall of shadows in an attempt to block it. This ended badly for Kyle, though, as the laser broke through and knocked him away from Double D just as the claw came down on him.
"Double D! No!" Kyle screamed. He got to his feet again, and his face was simultaneously filled with anger and worry as he started slowly approaching the crater. Aku had said he was going to "reward" Double D. Whenever a demon said that, it was never good. It was never good. Kyle knew this from experience.
At that moment, Mr. Copycat broke through the trees, coming out into the clearing at the edge of the island the others were standing in. He looked between Aku and the crater, and his gaze narrowed. As Mr. Copycat got closer, he'd sensed that strong light energy from before vanish. Something was horribly wrong. He balanced himself on his cane as he began to approach the group.

The cries above were not answered by a voice, but by a snarl, echoing inside the smoking crater. A series of angry growls and shrieks followed soon after, and some pounding and dirt flying in a fit of rage, which had anyone who had approached quickly back away in terror.
The first to appear was a gnarled hand, gripping at the edge of the crater with terrible hooked claws, leaving their engravings on the cracked earth. Its skin was deathly pale, though had patches of constantly shfting shapes of black. And with momentum, it hauled up the rest of the body that it belonged to.
This creature was a horrid sight to behold, a tangle of hot flesh and torn clothing. It heaved through a pigish snout and jaws overcrowded with uneven, razor sharp teeth, looking as if struggling to draw breath into its emaciated torso. Ghost-thin hair sprawled all about, almost covering its mangled ears, but not its souless, glowing red eyes. And from its back, on either side of the external vetrebrae lining its spine, sprouted dark tangles of what were once wings, torn and melted away and only leaving their framework behind.
And probably most terrifying of all... atop its head rested the pathetic remains of a familiar sock hat.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!![/i]" Amused by the transformation, Aku cackled above them.

Felix backed up as he heard the snarls and cries. "What in His name?"
"What's going on?!" Masahiro called down to Felix, but then both had their eyes fixated on the spot.
A hand creeped up. Felix noticed its gnarledness and got in a fighting stance. "Whatever you are, I'm ready for you!" he said with a cocky grin. Masahiro landed next to Felix, smirking.
"Always ready 'til the end," he said.
Both seemed confident. They had faught many different monsters before and won. What would be different about this one?
But the answer came when the monster showed its face. Confidence quickly fell into horror and despair. Masahiro felt a sudden pain in his heart when he saw that it was Double D. "Wh... What is... No!" Masahiro stuttered. Felix felt the blow the hardest. It was a delayed reaction, but as he looked upon the creature, he was panting, his eyes wide with a sort of despair that could only be seen upon those who suffered an emotionally fatal pain.
"E-Edward..." Felix managed to pant out. But, sure enough, both of them saw the sock hat. Ruined, shredded by Aku's claws. "E-Edward! EDWARD!"
"Dear God..." Masahiro was cut off by Aku's sudden cackling. Both looked up to see the Lord of Evil laughing amusingly. Masahiro's teeth gritted in rage. "You think this is funny? You sick piece of..." Masahiro was cut off by the sudden power being exhumed by Felix. "... Not now."
"What... have you done... to my Edward?!" Felix cried, the three auras of light, darkness, and Twilight shimmering around him, one of his eyes becoming black as midnight, the other white as void. "You... YOU..." And, in some unknown fashion, to Masahiro at least, Felix managed to conjure up some sort of weapon into his hand.
"I'LL OBLITERATE THE VERY EXISTANCE YOU BASE YOURSELF ON! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Felix, NO!" Masahiro yelled, but the vengeful angel had already taken flight, leaving the powerless eye-user alone. "Damnit... someone... help... this is beyond even us... please!"

Kyle had drawn away as the claw clenched the side of the crater. This wasn't possible. This just wasn't possible. But he couldn't deny what had crawled out. Really, he seemed to have gone into shock as he saw the monster that had once been Double D crawl out. His eyes were as wide as saucers, and only a few incomprehensible syllables came out of his mouth.
Not even Felix going into his Apocalypse Angel form was enough to pull Kyle out of his shock. It was probably a good thing Mr. Copycat had made it over to the group then, limping all the while as he ran. He scowled as he saw the scene, an expression not often seen on his face, and he pulled his cane apart, revealing a blade on the inside.
"Felix Falora! You are not aiding Eddward by attacking indiscriminately like this!" Mr. Copycat yelled. At the same time he said this, his body was changing into that of a certain samurai who would be very familiar to Aku.
He looked over at Kyle. "Hey! Kyle, wake up! You have to stop both Eddward and Felix!"
Kyle blinked and looked over at the half-transformed Mr. Copycat. "How do you know our names?"
"That isn't important now," Mr. Copycat said. And suddenly, it wasn't Mr. Copycat standing there. It was a certain samurai named Jack. "Aku! Your fight is with me!" He pointed his blade at Aku.
I haven't had to do this in a long time... probably flaws in the shift. But it should be enough to distract this demon until they can get away from here! Mr. Copycat thought to himself as he lept at Aku.
Kyle gulped and ran toward Felix, though he didn't know how he was going to get Felix down. And plus, this form scared him... He recognized it from those false memories Oni had forced upon him once before. It was one of pure madness, and while insanity was one of the strongest and most unstable forces of the multiverse, if Kyle thought about it, it had flaws that he could use to his advantage. Of course, he wasn't thinking, mainly due to the fact that his best friend had just been turned into a monster.

"HOLYJA!!!!!!"
To say Roland was horrified at the transformation would be an understatement. He easily recognized the boy that the monster once was, and was shocked at the change. However, that didn't mean he was just going to stand in terror, like a helpless old man.
The Holy spell found it's mark on Aku, but it appeared to do little to no damage. The old creature cursed under his breath, as he turned his attention to the others. By the looks of things, they had already tried and failed to fight this thing. All at once, he knew what had to be done; he didn't like the idea, but there was no choice.
"I agree with the ronin!! RUN!!!"

Felix would not reach Aku. Not by a long shot. A dark blur crashed into him from below, and with the crater now empty, it was obvious to tell who... no, WHAT had attacked Felix. The two of them tumbled to the ground, leaving a fair imprint in the dirt.
Aku continued his cackling. "FOOLS!! You try to harm ME, the Deliverer of Darkness? The Shogun of Sorrow?? The..."
But all amusement died in an instant at the clear voice that rang out above the carnage. He turned to face what he thought was his greatest enemy, unable to hide his shock.
"Aghpwuhghh... SAMURAI!!!" he sputtered in anger, flames igniting around him. GAH, the fool had the WORST timing in all existance!! "INCONCIEVABLE!! EVEN IN THIS WORLD YOU PLAGUE ME!?!?!? GAAAGGHH!!!!"
While Aku was clearly distracted above, Felix laid pinned to the ground by his horribly transformed lover, fuming and snorting and gnashing his terrible teeth. The monster was literally seeing red... everything around him was TWISTING,changing, not making any sENse... [glow=red,2,300]drums were pounding in his head and his body was burning and it hurt so much he thought he was dying and EVERYTHING HE SAW AND HEARD AND TASTED AND SMELLED WAS STOKING AN ELECTRIC RAGE WITHIN HIM THAT FELT OLDER THAN TIME ITSELF.[/glow]
And this creature below him... this DISgusTiNg creature... was whetting an unexplainable appitite to [glow=white,2,300]KILL[/glow] that would not let him be. His tormented wings gave an awful-sounding flap as he ROARED above Felix, fully intending to make him his first of many grisly meals.[/i]

Felix looked up at his lover. For a moment, he almost considered giving up, giving in... But no! None of this was either of their faults! Unlike the miscarraige session with Masahiro, which had been the Twilight Angel's fault entirely, neither of them were to blame this time. It was that damned demon! Aku! No other monster had felt half the wrath Felix held that this one would feel. This one would understand the power that Felix carried to be able to be known as the Apocalypse Angel. He sighed, looking at Edd, and frowned. "Forgive me," he whispered, but then placed his hand to the transformed's face and blasted him off. He used dark energy, figuring that would do the least damage to Double D as he was now, and then took flight high into the air. Noticing Aku looking at what looked like his enemy, he saw the eyes and grinned as he summoned what looked like a barrage of knives into his hands. Realizing that he'd never make it close to Aku in time, he pulled his hands back, took aim, and threw the knives all at Aku's eyes. Many would miss, but at least one would hit Aku's eye, showing him that, though only Jack's sword could defeat him, an angry angel whose love had been transformed could still cause him great pain.

The doppelganger that had taken Jack's form retained a stoic expression as Aku made the mistake he'd hoped he would.
"I followed you to this dimension once I learned of your escape here. I will not allow our conflict to end with you escaping here!" "Jack" yelled, pointing his blade at Aku. He looked back at Kyle. "What are you doing?! Restrain Eddward and get out of here!"
Kyle gulped and started running toward where he saw Double D get blasted off by Felix. There was nothing he could do now to help with the fight with Aku, all he could do was hold Double D back.
"Double D! It's me! Kyle! The guy who attacked you, tortured you all that time! If you're going to attack anyone, attack the guy who ripped your wings off!" Kyle yelled. If he could only divert Double D's attention away from Felix and the others...

Roland looked to where Kyle was trying to keep back Double D, keeping his gaze fixed on the creatures enstranged glare. It seemed so impossible that this creature could be the boy he had known that was reborn as an angel, but hey, even the most pure of creatures could be tainted with even the smallest kinds of contact... Butterflies were an excellent example. That boy was trying to sacrifice himself to keep the monster from attacking the others, but thus far, it didn't look like he was doing a good job. So far, he was just making the beast angrier. And honorable as his intentions were, there was no need for unnecessary sacrifice.
"Young Man!! Let go of him!" He lifted up his mace, "Leave it to me. I'm used to handling monsters such as this." He hadn't meant to call Double D a monster, more then knowing the situation, but hey, what else could he call him now?
[NN1 has expressed the want for Double D to get away. Likely all of the action going on, and Roland can do the job in scaring him off.]

"Weeellll, samurai, you can just...AAAAGGHHHH!!!!" Aku shriek at the barrage of attacks from the pestering angel, and hey, everyone ELSE while they were at it!! "YOU MISERABLE LITTLE INSECTS!!!! I'LL EXTERMINATE EVERY LAST ONE OF YO~!"
But wait... that would've given the STUPID samurai the change to catch him off guard and... GAH, HE WAS SO CONFUSED!!!
And the creature he had spawned below seemed just as confused, shrieking when attacks hit his face and thrashing about as he was grabbed and yelled at. He only vaguely heard traces of Kyle's voice... Felix's voice... Roland's voice... and some buried part of him told him they were important, but the chaos banging around in his skull droned it all out and only allowed through the most basic of instincts.
[glow=red,2,300]Dark light hurts, pain, all over, won't stop, so hungry, they keep screaming, hurting, LoOkiNg aT Me, wON'T Go aWAy, mUsT kILL, MUst mAKe thEM dISapPeAr...![/glow]
Caught in a mortal frenzy, the once purest angel caterwauled and launched itself at whatever stood in its way, claws unsheathed and glowing with not golden, but pitch-black light
(Everyone simply defend yourselves as you see fit and see what Roland's cooking up.)
