"He's a good guy, I don't care what you might think," Tealle gave the wolf a look, "I mean, you can't possibly think something this cute is bad, right?"
The Felimare was rather confused, though. How did Mika end up on this weird world, anyway? Did he get a portal, too? Were more familiar faces going to pop up out of nowhere? Why didn't he come through a portal created by Jesus? Why were they even trying to do stuff here? This entire situation seemed hopeless enough, after all, and her common sense told her to just get out of there. These thoughts were pushed away in favor of trying to be cheery.
"Mika's not against us, I hope. Even if he was, I'd like to see you try to hurt him! I mean, I'm not heartless enough to," the Felimare stuck out her tongue, trying to joke, "Though he does smell a bit...different, I suppose. Sorry, friend, but you kinda' smell like brimstone... and canine."

Katrina was about to make a swing when she was thrown off balance by Saber jolting from being kicked in the flank. He growled, keeping his jaws stubbornly clamped near the saddle. She knew that the horse was going to throw the wolf off soon enough. Katrina dug her hands into the thick fur on Saber's neck and brought her legs around, aiming for Diana's side to dismount the woman from her seat upon Singe.
Saber felt blood on his teeth, the taste making him a bit hungry. He didn't want to kill the horse, however, unless Katrina told him to or it tried to kill him. He just felt a small hollowness in his belly that told him he wanted to eat soon.

Diana screamed as she fell to the ground.
Singe flew forward, she flew toward a building and tried to slam her side into the building, trying to smash the wolf and his rider into the building.

She frowned, "Three others? Huh."
The Felimare kept him in the air, turning him so she could get a look at the underside of one of his paws. She lightly pressed her nose against one of his pawspads, feeling that they were quite warm. Tealle waited to see if he would yelp in pain or just remain quiet. If he was pained, he'd probably burned himself.
"Who were the other people?" asked Tealle as she tested his pawpad.

Katrina stood on Saber's shoulders, her eyes darting in the direction the horse was headed. She had to act fast, or risk being rammed straight into a building! She darted forward, taking Singe's reins into her bloody hand and crawling forward. The light-spirit hybrid wolf grunted as she stepped over his face and into the seat of the saddle. The tiger-woman yanked the rein down and away from the structure with both her arms. If she didn't get the winged equine to turn, her leg would likely get broken to bits, at least!
The wolf himself removed his teeth from the horse, dropping to the ground. He landed quite awkwardly, his wrist getting twisted a bit. He let out a sharp yelp, lifting his paw gingerly. He cast his gaze around, searching for the woman who had fallen from the horse. He wondered if she was alright?

The angel continued to fly after Flame, she held her mace tightly, preparing a swing at him when she got closer.


Singe whinnied and turned away from the building. She bucked to try to get this stranger off her.

Diana was laying in the street, she wasn't moving.

Katrina gasped, feeling herself fall forward onto the horse's neck. Her nose painfully hit the neck of Singe, and the rider yelped. Katrina couldn't bother with the stirrups on the saddle, considering she was nearly falling off. She pulled back, feeling the horse bucking her forward violently. The cat-woman continued to pull the horse's reins, trying to tug her into a small circular motion. She knew a thing or two about horses from when she knew the morons, and they'd told her that to get a horse to slow down the rider would have to yank them into a small circular motion. The horse would have to slow down or risk tripping over itself and falling.
Saber whined, limping over to the fallen woman. He bent down to smell her, quite concerned something...bad had happened. He hadn't wanted to kill the poor thing, he only wanted to make Katrina happy.

Raieior flicked his tail and his ears, staring at Mika. "Well, I do admit it would be hard for me to bring harm this little one.......but, I'm still wary. I've seen and heard of one too many betrayals to just accept someone openly." He said in a guttural tone. "And yeah, that brimstone......the evil guy does like his lairs....er......pretty toasty...." He said, smiling kinda weakly.

Singe was forced to slow down.

Diana slowly propped herself up. She yelled in pain and held her arm, it looked broken. She looked at the wolf near her and tried to scoot away, her armor scraping the ground.

"M-Mika?! What? Why are you here?!" Fear immediately turned into hatred. The petty thief can't seem to stop running into him. Why, it seems like every adventure he was in, out of his own world, he would run into this tiny scum. And he'd be the same cocky, cowardly Flakami. 'This day is not going well at all. Not. at. ALL.'
He summoned out his hammer "The Guardian." If memory serves, every encounter he had with the Flakami, it ends with a fight. 'Might as well be ready', he thought as he gripped his hammer tightly.

Majus was very annoyed as Rhex slowed to a stop behind a building. He hated running from a fight. Glaring at the wolf, he realized he was in no position to fight. He'd have to heal. But as for himself, he had hardly been wounded. Even if he had, it wouldn't be enough to stop him. Sometimes he thought the wolf a bit weak, but he was also a fierce fighter and friend, so Majus stuck with him. Right now, though, he couldn't forgive him. He needed to go let his anger out. "Fine!" He shouted at the wolf, not even trying to hide his anger. "You stay here and let your wounds heal. I'm going back to the fight!" He rushed off without another word. He glanced back and saw a small hint of hurt in the wolf's eyes. Oh well. He needed it. Maybe it would toughen him up a bit more. Majus summoned his dragon wings and flew through the battle field, looking for an angel worth attacking.

-----------------------------------

Farin, Brina, and Tus had settled in a secluded spot not far from where they'd been and were discussing their next plans for the battle. Suddenly Brina heard something and peered out from their hiding place. She gasped in fear as she saw her new friend Diana lying in the road. She was holding her arm as if she'd just broken it and was backing away from a wolf that was approaching her slowly, glowing brightly. Brina turned back to Farin, concern in her green eyes. "That's Diana! We have to go help her! She's in trouble!" She shouted, then shot to her feet, grabbing her bow and an arrow and aiming it at the wolf. Not knowing who's side the wolf was on, she aimed the arrow directly in front of it, hitting the road before it to scare it off. She didn't want to kill it, but she'd just had a very nasty encounter with a wolf, and didn't trust the thing. "You take care of the wolf, I'll check on the girl," Farin said as she transformed into her little mouse-self and raced toward Diana. Tus remained where he was. Brina would call him if she needed him. She readied another arrow, watching the wolf to see what he'd do.

The angel hovered above Flame and narrowed her eyes. She brought her mace above her head and flew down at him, swinging the electrified weapon at him.


"Stay back!" Diana said as she got to her feet and backed away. She was clutching her limp arm in agony.

Majus suddenly caught sight of an angel with a large, electrified mace near a tall building. She was ready to bring it down on some unsuspecting foe. Majus didn't care who this angel was fighting, she needed to learn a lesson. He dashed toward her, still angry over being pulled away from the fight with the red-head earlier, which only fueled his need and desire to fight!

------------------------

Farin, still in her mouse form, approached the blonde-haired girl Brina claimed was named Diana. She silently climbed up her side and stopped at her shoulder, looking up to her. "Are you alright?" She asked, gently.

"No, my arm is broken." Diana said.

Tealle was just sort of staring, her gaze locked with the distance. She seemed like if one could see under her fur, her skin would be pale, and her expression could be compared to that of seeing a ghost. She nearly dropped Mika she'd gone so stiff with her mind getting distracted by emotion and memories. She was barely able to keep the spell active in the back of her mind, with the small teal glow around her horn dimming and flickering slightly as she tried to recover from the memories shoving their way forward.
It took a moment for the Felimare to comfort herself with the fact it could have been any cat-lady and blinding-wolf duo. That didn't specifically mean it was those two. She shook her mane, yawning with nervousness.
"I, uh," Tealle glanced from Bobo, to Mika, and back again, quite confused. She'd not heard the words passed between them, and because of this she wondered why Bobo had a giant hammer out.
"Erm, I ... Whu-?" Tealle was finding it hard to form a question from all the things galloping through her mind, "Is- Is there a problem? What's with the hammer?"

Katrina blinked, now realizing the pickle she found herself in. She was on a flying horse in a weird battle with the ground far below. Looking down, she also came to find he had no idea how to steer this thing up or down! She looked around, trying to figure out in her head how this would work.

Saber whined, unable to move any more from his aching legs and the intimidating person with the bow in his way. He ended up just flopped to his side, the weight on his limbs causing too much pain for him to stand any longer. The constant healing was causing him to be short of breath, and he had to relax for a moment. The wolf puffed out a sigh, not bothering trying to move - deciding it was better to rest even if that person with the bow shot at him again.
'Why did it have to be me...?' he whimpered in thought, his ears lowered with his tail tucked under him as he lay.

Singe started bucking again, trying to get Karina off.

"We need to get you to a healer," Farin said, looking around, a bit worried.

------------------------

Brina looked to the wolf, lowering her bow as she felt somewhat sad for the poor creature. He seemed so pained. But she hadn't hit him. She slowly approached him, her bow still raised, cautiously. "Are... are you alright?" She asked the creature as she got closer.

A few angels suddenly flew in front of Majus, blocking his way. One had a crossbow aimed hat him, another had a sword coated in ice and the last one had a battleaxe.


"Yes, please take me back to the Third Heaven." Diana said.

Farin leaped from Diana's shoulder and transformed into a large eagle. She gently wrapped her talons around Diana's waist and flew off, glancing back to Brina. "Brina! You coming?!" She called. Brina was watching the wolf still lying on the road. She glanced to Farin, concern in her eyes. "No. You go ahead..." She said, turning back to the wolf. "Just don't do anything rash!" Farin called. Brina glanced back. Farin smiled wide, letting Brina know she was joking. Brina slowly smiled, too, then turned her attention back to the wolf. Farin flew off toward Third Heaven with Diana.

-------------------------

Majus pulled back as the angels suddenly blocked his way. Then he grinned. "Piece of cake," he said to himself, eager for a fight. He summoned a ball of fire in his left hand and sent it at the crossbow one of the angels was holding while also summoning his dragon tail and flipping his backside around so that the tail reached around under him and wrapped itself around the hilt of the sword another angel was holding. Squeezing tightly, he pulled hard, trying to rip the sword out of the angel's hand.

The angel with the crossbow tried to dodge, but yelled out in pain as his feet got burned. He shot the bolt he had in his crossbow at Majus.
As the angel with the sword was fighting to keep his weapon, the angel with the battleaxe brought the blade of the ax down on Majus' tail.

Raieior felt himself being drawn away. Then in a flash, he was gone, as if he just popped out from existence.

Katrina hissed and pulled the rein down, snapping at the horse, "You fool of a mount, start lowering yourself and you won't have me on your back anymore!"
She had to hope this animal spoke the common tongue, too!

Saber let out a low whine, wanting to reply but feeling uncertain. He tried to sit up to look a bit more presentable, but quickly yelped when he placed weight on his legs and he immediately was lying down again, puffing breath from his body and wheezing strangely. He was far too scared and in pain to understand what his own body was doing. Perhaps this was what crying was? He wasn't sure. All he knew is that the agony lancing through his body was unbearable, and that he was still in danger.
"My," he started, his voice cracking awkwardly with pain, "My legs. They hurt...I might've landed on them too badly for me to fix right now." His glowing markings were still giving off their golden light, but Saber himself looked like he was about ready to just pass out on the battlefield.

Singe whinnied in agony as the bit hurt her. She pulled up instead, fighting against this enemy.


The voice of God suddenly spoke to Brina. "Bring the wolf to me."

"The 'PROBLEM' here is that HE'S here!" Bobo exclaimed in such fury that the fight could start any moment. He could not stand for this- this- THIS THIEF! He did not want him to be anywhere near him, he's just a worthless, pathetic thief, and did not want to associate himself with such garbage. He wouldn't want a stain on his uniform from such a dirty thief.
"He's a idiotic, cocky thief that only causes trouble. If I were you I'd dispose of the rodent. Immediately."
Bobo gripped his hammer tighter in anger. He felt such hatred toward the Flakami than it made his blood boil. His teeth grind at the thought of the trouble caused by this Flakami. Also, HE STOLE FROM HIM! How do expect him to forgive such a crime! He couldn't and he will be punish for doing so. He'll be punished to his heart's content.

Majus saw the arrow coming and quickly summoned his dragon scales. The arrow hit them and bounced off. Then he felt he pain in his tail. He growled in fury, transforming into his full dragon form. He pulled his tail back and spewed a massive stream of fire at all three angels, fueled by his anger.

----------------------------

Brina watched the wolf, feeling a deep sadness for the state he was in. "Oh... you poor thing..." She said, crouching next to him. She reached out to stroke it, then paused. She still didn't know it very well. It might not like that. She saw the golden light coming from the markings on his body and wondered if he had some sort of healing power. His words seemed to suggest that. Suddenly she heard God's voice. She closed her eyes, listening, then nodded in response. "Yes, my Lord." She turned her attention back to the wolf. "I'm gonna touch you, alright. You'll be alright soon." She gave a whistle and Tus quickly flew toward her. He landed next to her and she gently picked up the wolf and placed it on Tus's back. She climbed on behind, and held onto the wolf as Tus glanced to her. "Head to Third Heaven," she said. Tus nodded and spread his wings, leaping into the air and flying off. Brina kept her hand on the wolf before her, making sure he didn't fall off.

Four angels suddenly blocked Umbrius' way. One of them held two icy daggers, one held two firey flails, one of them aimed a crossbow at his head and the last one transformed into a large dragon with feathery wings.

The angel that was attacking Flame picked the mace off of Flame's leg and raised it up again to strike him.

The angel screamed as she got cut. the blade managed to go through her armor and cut into her abdomen. She fell to the ground, laying on her side, holding her wound.

Farin arrived in Third Heaven and set Diana down, gently, looking to her. "Where to?" She asked. She knew she should know, but her mind was on Brina right now, and she worried for her friend. Then suddenly, as if drawn by her thoughts, Tus appeared, with Brina on his back. She was holding the wolf before her. Farin didn't need to ask questions. Brina wasn't normally one to show compassion or pity to the enemy, so if she had brought this wolf here, it was for good reason.
Brina caught her eyes, deep concern on her face. "I think he's hurt."
Farin nodded. "We'll get them both to the healers."

Tealle took a step back, not exactly liking Bobo's attitude towards the small Flakami and herself. More importantly, the Flakami. She widened her stance and huffed, for now ignoring the blue man's comment, instead answering Mika.
"I can do that without any problem," she assured him, and with these words her horn flashed with a brighter teal glow for a heartbeat as she cast the spell. The magic required for such a basic spell was minimal, allowing her to still levitate Mika in the air as she healed him. With the healing process complete, she set the Flakami down and swished her tail. She kept her eye on Bobo, sill not sure how to feel about his sudden aggression.

"You moron of an equine!" Katrina hissed, and jaggedly pulled the rein to the side. She was going to try ramming the horse straight into a nearby building rather than be taken for a ride. The feline-woman looked below, her mind racing as she watched for anything to catch her if she jumped. As of right now, there was only pavement below.

Saber whined loudly, not sure how to feel about this. Fear-scent poured from his body and pain made him tense up. He felt sick, like he was going to vomit with not only anxiety but also agony.
"Why are you doing this for-" he paused, not sure if he should continue. If they knew he was technically of the enemy side, they might kill him. The overly-sized hound fell silent, gulping with nervousness.

Brina glanced down at the wolf, hearing him speak. Only, he didn't finish his sentence. He was probably in so much pain! "It's okay," she said to him. "We're going to take you to a healer." She glanced at Farin and Diana, waiting for their lead.

Diana looked up at Brina, she had tears in her eyes from the pain and she breathed heavily. "To... The Temple..." She directed.

Singe felt like she couldn't control her reactions, the bit struck the side of her mouth and she almost instinctively veered in that direction. She smacked her flank into the side of the building, neighing in agony as her wing broke from the heavy impact. She plummeted to the ground below.

The four angels flew at Umbrius. The one with the crossbow in front, followed by the dragon, the one with the flails and the one with the daggers. The one with the crossbow aimed and shot the bolt at Umbrius, flying past him. The dragon shot a beam of light immediately afterward.

Farin heard Diana's pained words and gently picked her up again, flying quickly to the temple. She glanced back, seeing Tus flying after her, Brina and the wolf still on his back.

--------------------------

Majus flew upward, swinging his tail down hard on the angel with the battleaxe, the one who had injured the tail to begin with. He turned to spew another stream of flames at the one with the crossbow, and drew his sword, breathing his dragon fire upon it and slicing at the angel with the icy sword.

Bobo's teeth grinding worsened as Mika made his snarky remarks and taunts. His head was steaming, and he could feel himself loosing self-control. They only thing keeping him back is the ally, Tealle, that healed the fool and had her eye on him. He gripped his hammer tighter, almost as though he was strangling the little thing out of his misery. "So, it was you, wasn't it? Glad you fessed up." Bobo clenched his teeth, trying to hold back the urge to smash his little cocky, smug face.

The angel with the daggers got shot by the blood fire. He screams in pain as the magic hits his chest plate and heats it up, severely burning his chest.
The angel with the crossbow was shot in his wing by the silver fire, he cried out in pain as his wing was burned and his feathers were burned off, he fell out of the sky.
The angels all stopped in mid air, not flying at Umbrius.
The angel that had gone after Flame saw her allies, and she started to shout at them in a foreign tongue.
The angels noticed her and seemed to be looking past Umbrius, as if trying to look behind him at something, or someone. The dragon flew at Umbrius and breathed another beam of light at him.

Farin flew into the Temple and set Diana down lightly. Tus flew in a few seconds after her and landed lightly. This was such a holy place. Farin landed lightly beside Diana and transformed into her regular form, awed as always by being in the Temple.

Tealle huffed, letting those two do their...thing. She turned her attention to the sound of battle not too far away. It sounded pretty loud, so she could assume it was mainly where the two armies were clashing. The Felimare was unsure if she wanted to move towards it or stay here, but from the looks of it the two next to her were going to break out into combat at any moment. Either way, she'd be in battle.
The Felimare puffed sparks from her nose, slowly moving towards the sound she heard. She expected those two would eventually catch up if they did get involved in hating one another's guts. Tealle saw no reason to wait, and she wanted to get another look at the battle she would be launching herself into. She would have to stay quite a long time, after all, and she wanted to be sure this was a fight she wanted to fight with all her heart.
'Though,' she thought to herself, 'the battlefield looks quite...odd.'

Katrina yowled with rage. The idiot of a horse had injured itself! Katrina didn't have much time to act, but she did manage to jump from Singe's back before being crushed. She was able to roll across the ground and save herself some broken legs with this action.
'That was too close. No more horse-riding for you, miss!' Katrina puffed air from her nose as she regained her breath, pushing herself up onto her feet. Her claws adjusted the collar around her shoulders as she shifted her sore legs. That was a rough landing - even for her. The feline looked around, trying to spot Saber in the chaos.
"Saaaaaaber!" she called, wondering where he'd gotten off to.

Saber whined worriedly, not sure what to make of this new place. It was a majestic temple, from where he could see - an awesome sight for anyone who would enter. If he wasn't struggling to breathe, it would've taken his breath from him. But at this moment, he was more panicked than anything. Were they going to use him as a sacrifice? Drink his blood and grind his bones into ritual dust? Were these people telling the truth?

"Why you little!!" Bobo yelled as he charged forth towards Mika. He had enough of his games, and tolerated none of the crap he gave him. This was pretty much the last straw. He took the first step into the fight and went for the batting swing. He was going to make him fly into the sky and have him hit the ground hard. He was going to make him eat dirt.

Jesus approached Farin, Diana and Saber. He walked over to Diana first and crouched down beside her, He touched her arm and it was healed.
"Thank you, Master." Diana said, propping herself up into a sitting position.
Jesus then stood up and walked up to Saber. He looked down at the wolf, He was looking into his eyes, seeing the pain and abuse in them. "I know of your pain filled past, friend. I too was hurt." Jesus said, showing the wounds in His hands. "I know you don't wish to be a slave, come to Me and I will set you free. I will give you rest when you are weary." Jesus told the wolf in a kind tone.

Saber puffed air from his nose. He looked up at the being before him, not sure how to reply. He tried to sit up on his own, but ended up on his side as a disgusting crack came from his leg followed swiftly by a yelp from Saber himself.
"I don't think you understand," he huffed, "I can't just leave my ma-...my mom. She's all I know." The wolf chomped down on the bit in his mouth, his body starting to go numb with pain.

Jesus slowly moved His hand to the wolf's head. He softly touched him, light came from His hand, healing him. "A real parent loves their child. From how I see it, she doesn't love you."

Farin watched the exchange between Jesus and the wolf, solemnly. If there was something she hated the most about the tactics of the enemy, it was how he seemed to drive wedges between families. She'd seen it happen once too often on earth. What Jesus was saying touched her heart. She wished she could mend every broken family on earth. thinking on that reminded her why she fought. She suddenly wanted to return to the battle, but she waited, not wanting to interrupt the interaction between Father and child with her movements, and also wanting to make sure Diana was okay, and to regroup with Brina and Tus.

The angel with the flails swung them at Umbrius' other wing. The angel with the ice daggers threw one of them at Umbrius' injured side.
The angel that attacked Flame saw that he was close enough to attack, but her mace had been knocked out of her hand. She changed into her cheetah form, this exposed her wound even more. She growled in pain, but roared and took a swipe at Flame while she was still down on the floor.

The dragon swooped down at Umbrius and tried to land on him and pin him to the ground.

The cheetah growled and stood up slowly, blood dripping from her wound. She made a leap at Flame, wanting to maul him.
