(OOC: Between myself and Mugen for now, if you want to join, PM one of us first, and we can discuss things.)
Dolphi III and Hammy, like usual, were hanging out outside a shop in the plaza.
"Why do we do these things?"
"Huh?"
"Why do we kill people, why do we make giant ghost armies, why do we try to cause Ragnarok?" Dolphi asked. Hammy shrugged.
"I dunno, cause it's fun?"
"...I guess." Dolphi sighed and stared up at the sky. There was some weird green object zipping around, and something was following it... "Hey, what the hell's that?"
Hammy strained his eyes. "...I think it's Kid!"
"I'm-My-Own-Dad Kid? Holy crap!" Dolphi got up off of the brick wall he'd been leaning against and grinned. "What's he doing?"
"Beats me."
---------------------
Kid panted for breath. Shit. That damn demon had been chasing him for what felt like days now, probably more like hours. He'd injured Castor, which was expected, Castor somehow attracted a shitload of damage, it was a good thing they had that necromancer kid Ford on their team back on Earth?, but this wasn't Earth? now, it was some freaky-deaky island, and he hadn't found any more goddamn necromancers. Not only that, but this demon was stopping him from causing the kind of destruction he wanted, destruction Chaos could help him cause.
Somewhere along the line he figured out that Chaos would be a great help with the Ragnarok Flamel wanted to cause. Only this Ragnarok wouldn't be limited to one dimension, no, it would spread to the multiverse. And as for the dimensions that didn't get reborn, well, Chaos could take care of that.
Kid landed on top of a water tower, crushing it inwards. He turned around and yelled, "Che cosa sono voi, una mucca o un demone? Acceso, I' il Tree veduto la VE vola più velocemente di voi!" Roughly translated, he had just called Hades a cow, and that Tree, a flightless bat could fly faster than him.

What Kid didn't seem to grasp was that he would tire far before Hades did. Due to the merge, Kid was a mobile battery for any demon from Hades' homeworld. For the same reason it was a bad idea to put an angel in charge of darkness of enough power to make the most powerful demon wet itself. Demons fed off darkness the way angels were weakened by it. As it was, the more Kid channeled Chaos, the harder it would be to knock Hades down.
Hades found himself mildy amused at the flung insults and made no response. Ever since he'd called Kid a eunich, a slave of a castrated male for those not knowledable in history, the human had been flipping out. He drew on some of the energy that Chaos and its host were emitting and seemed to speed up. It was certainly faster than a human could move, and would appear to be a blur to those watching the fight.
He swung his scythe. He cared not if he killed Kid anymore. He'd wanted to for some time to the point of inciting all but forgotten blood lust. He wanted him to bleed, and for reasons above and beyond Chaos. That was just the reason the angels wouldn't throw a hissy fit if he ripped Kid into pieces. The thought that he could actually act a demon was exciting.

Kid dodged back just as the scythe swung his way, once again throwing up the leg with Castor worn on it to guard. The scythe slashed right into the weapon's body, but once again Castor didn't cry out. It was odd; the weapons had been silent since Kid had taken control of Chaos.
He glanced down at the crowd who had gathered. None of their faces really seemed familiar to him except for two, who were watching from the side. They were still alive!
Hammy glanced over at some weird headphones wearing blue-haired guy who was playing his DS (who the hell plays their DS at a time like this?) to look back at the fight. And saw that Kid, who had barely dodged out of the way of the scythe, was looking right at him.
"Hey, you stupid rejects! Help me out, dammit!" Kid yelled. Hammy pointed to himself. "Yes you, you stupid H.P. Lovecraft reject! This Asshole's trying to kill me!"
Hammy formed a purple fire in his hand and threw it at Hades. "Hey! Demon ass! Yeah, I'm talking to you! Get the hell away from him!" He threw an even larger fireball at Hades before flying into the air.
Dolphi groaned. "Dammit, Kid!" He floated up into the air after Hammy, and gathered some wispfire in his own hands. He didn't have Fishhook on him at the moment; the fish was on an errand somewhere.

Hades knew who Kid was yelling at. He narrowed his gaze and flew between Kid and the odd creatures he was addressing. He sensed something further back from the creatures and had to work at not looking towards it. Something was there, but now wasn't the time to be focusing on odd spikes in demonic energy. He'd deal with a demon bystander only if they interfered - And that seemed unlikely. Demons got better than humans the danger that was Chaos.
Hades felt a surge of energy and dropped down, allowing Hammy's first fireball to pass over harmlessly. He shot backwards as the larger second one shot over him. This was the problem with aerial fights, there was more directions one could use in the battlefield.
Anyone with any decent senses, which pretty much meant all his opponents, would sense some of his own life force being channeled into the scythe. With Chaos in such close proximity, Hades had the advantage. He could drawn on an endless amount of power, something his opponent(s) didn't seem to realize. But he didn't fire as the energy gathered, indeed charged at the silver orb atop his staff. He pointed it at Kid though, following any movements he made with the top of his scythe.
"You're ghosts, you have to sense the energy coming off him!"
It was more a hope than an expectation. In truth, he was most upset at the ability to shed blood without the angels flipping out on him being quickly lost. He wanted to kill Kid with most of the fibers of his being... whether he had Chaos in him or not.

Dolphi could definitely sense it. Hell, that energy was practically rolling off of Kid in waves. It looked like Kid had taken a couple of levels in badass since the last time they'd seen him during that climatic battle at Yggdrasil. How, Dolphi had no clue, but this world had a lot of options from what he'd seen.
Hammy's eye twitched. "I AM NOT A GHOST!" He suddenly summoned several fireballs and fired them at Hades. "I AM RATATOSK, GOD OF KNOWLEDGE AND DOOM! YOU ARE BUT A LESSER DEMON WHO HATH CRAWLED FROM THE DEPTHS OF HEL! HOW DARE THOU INSULT ME BY CALLING ME A 'GHOST'?!" He formed a larger fireball in his hand and held it out before several purple flame spears fired out of it toward Hades, specifically, Hades' wings.
Dolphi snickered. "Not smart at all, dude, you pissed off Hammy here."
Kid ducked out of the way of a flame javelin. "You reject, watch where you're firing those or I'll rip those oddly-shaped wings from your body!"

Hades had to admit, to himself if no one else, that dodging those fireballs had been difficult. One had almost managed to clip the edge of his wing, and he knew even a centimeter closer would have at least singed it. Not from touch, but from proximity. Considering what he was, it indicated a level of heat he hadn't considered from the flames before that point.
Knowledge and... Doom? Who the hell used that word in serious context? Hades had to remind himself of the way this Island blended worlds. Doom probably had more weight in other realities. He knew in his own people tended to snicker when one tried to use the word seriously, but it was possible it had more weight in the homeworld of that "god".
"Then take my apologies, but you have to understand what's being dealt with here!" Hades shouted, motioning with one hand towards Kid.
He wasn't positive those two that were helping Kid were truly his allies. Unfortunately, he had to answer to the angels in his homeworld. He wasn't under the delusion that more wouldn't follow him if he started "acting up". If he could be positive the three were allies, he could at least seal them. Ghosts from his world could be killed, but he couldn't speak for others. It wasn't the first or the last time he cursed Chaos for finding a portal to another world. There were too many things unknown here, and Laplace's Demon Hades was not. He didn't have knowledge of the whole frickin multiverse. Laplace's Demon was an extreme example, but still.
"This isn't the person you know!" Hades added, for good measure.
God, ghost, whatever. He was sure they knew what Kid was supposed to feel like. Supposed to act like. Even if Kid had made the decision to draw in Chaos by choice, he wasn't the same person. No matter how dark and ruthless he may have been before accepting the force, he'd be moreso. One did gain things from Chaos, after all. But if Chaos were to succeed, the entire multiverse would just cease. A path to nowhere, to nothing, a concept no human could grasp.
