Awaken Book 2: Hell's Rejuvenation

"Donovan. Got anything out of her?" Hiro asks in a somewhat demanding fashion as Donovan looks up with a blank expression. "Since you kinda killed her, I have to bring a level of consciousness to her. Well basically, bring her subconscious to a state I can get what we need and she won't get any chance to come back to life." He explains as he continues to dig into her mind with a spell. Mary and Kain land on the ground near them, "That bitch must've made a barrier, we can't break through it." Mary says as she sighs and Kain picks his teeth. Ava cleans out her gun as some large shells come out, "The bullets didn't work either. They just evaporated on impact, damn." Ava says quietly as she reloads and puts the clip back in. "An Orc using a firearm, I thought I'd never see the day.." Donovan says as he sees how comfortable she was using the weapon. "Allen told me we had to adapt with new things, I'm a sucka for heavy and HUGE weapons so I got this!" She says cheerfully. "You mentioned a barrier, Mary?" Donovan asks as she nods to agree. "Yeah. My bro and I couldn't put a crack on it." She says as Kain scratches his head. "I see, I see. I have an idea, Genesis, you are a sorcery level of knowledge, come here and continue from here." He gestures her to come and she shifts and sits where he was with her head in her lap. "Hands just on her head, a little over her ears and mediate and you'll be right there." He guides her hands to the same points, she closes her eyes and opens them as they turn pink. "She's in." He says as he walks out and Kain and Mary come along with him. "Hiro...BenKei? We may need your assistance down there." Donovan says as he waves. "I'm at my limit right now, I'll stay and cover Genesis for any aerial assault up here." BenKei says as Hiro walks him. "You? Resting? Geez you must've got soft." He says under his breath. "I'd rather be soft than weak enough to fall into Garder's hands...the one time I was right, you should've listened to me and none of that would've took place." BenKei replies and Hiro stops. "I saved your top head strong of an ass too many times to count, hardly any recognition back to recall for too long, so..sure, I'mma let you have that." He says sharply and walks off. Rana pats BenKei's head, "You do you man, forget him. We all have parts to play, all of important to be executed." She says as she pecks him on the cheek and he blushes immediately and looks away. "Oh mmmmm?! W-what...was that for?" He immediately says shyly as she smiles. "A cute guy needs some company, after this maybe sometime we can go out?" She asks as he opens her eyes and looks at her and slowly nods. They both smiles as the suspense of what comes ahead stops their moment as they look forward to see one of the land blocks in the air become engulfed in flames. Ash growls as he sees slight activity ahead of him and his eyes light up red and he angrily charges towards him. "Worst timing huh?" He says as she smiles nervously. "Genesis. Make a field around you and her. BenKei and I will take care of his hothead!" Rana orders as Genesis nods and evades. BenKei stands up, powers up with his white energy flows around him as his hair turns white and his shirt rips off. Rana's right hand produces green energy, her eyes glow green, they both stand ready to face as Ash charges towards them closer and closer.

Hiro, Donovan, Mary, Ava, and Kain leap off the flying rocks in the sky and land down in front of the cave. "You know. You didn't have to be harsh and rude to him, from all I know about you and your chemistry in the family you've made here , you should be happy, in retrospect possibly thankful that BenKei got you guys out. Even with my level of magic and gods around in these realms, they wouldn't have broke y'all two out of that dragon's soul orbs. BenKei is strong in his own right, I wouldn't bat an eye off of what he can do, especially now." Donovan says as Hiro briskly ignores him as they all land. He taps the partially invisible barrier right in front of the cave itself, presses both hands onto the field. He closes his eyes, his muscles tighten, his feet crack the ground around him, "Let's go, Sis." Kain says as Mary and him both turn to werewolves and leap high. "Doubled Fang Tornado!" They both y'all as they join hands and get close to create a semi controlled twister and drills into the barrier over Hiro as they both manage to crack it even more. "HA!" All three of them yell as the barrier cracks all over like glass and breaks as the pieces of it disappear to the air behind them. "You know what you're stepping into?" Kain asks Hiro as he walks in. "I'll be fine. Nothing I haven't faced before." He says as his tail waves slightly as he walks in.

"Never thought a blue dragon would be head of the charge. How long was I out?" Kain sarcastically says as Ava taps his head mildly hard. "Ouch. I was kidding(a little).." He says and she hits him again. "Should we go in?" Mary asks Donovan as he hesitates for a moment to answer. "Our combined force could make a difference but what Hiro has up his sleeve, he needs a solo approach. We'd only be in the way I'm afraid." He softly replies. "Get in his way? He the big cheese huh. What is he anyway?!" Kain says as he sits down on the glass. "A cleric if I'm not mistaken." Donovan says quickly. "Hm. One or two gods?" Kain asks. "I'd say two; restores balance." Donovan replies again. "Any beautiful places here...in Ebon?" Kain asks everyone. "Hmmm. Oh! I got one!!" Mary says as Ava listens in. "How about the WaterFall?" Mary says as Kain opens his eyes in both shock and excitement. "You always would go there, great view, just a totally captivating place to be." She explains as Kain leaves a bewildered look. "Stream of Peace.." Kain says as Ava's eyes light up. "What's this spike of energy? No WAY! I thought I..." Donovan says to himself as he feels Ash's powers washes above them all and they hear a loud, almost crying, like scream from Guttree, he walks slowly out of the woods. "N-no....Christi...I will...kill you. All of you." He says as they all seem to scare to see him again. "Guess we got this freak left. You'll join where Christi is real soon." Ava yells as her weapons clicks when Mary and Kain turn to their werewolf forms. He screams as he throws his arm towards them and they all spread out, Kain stays and grabs it with his mouth to hold him in place, Mary dashes in with two slashes in the chest, Ava shoots a rocket sized bullet at him and it explodes. The smoke clears as his wounds heal as if nothing happens and he looks up to the same move Mary and Kain did to the barrier, swirling down on top of him. "Doubled Fang Tornado!!" They yell as they land their move. Mary goes to the left side, rapidly pulls as Kain does the same on the right side, Guttree screams as if he can't regenerate the further his body is apart from the opposite side. Donovan leaps in front of his head as it is helpless, "Animal Devotion: Rhino." He says as his body illuminates a gray aura and he charges his head with a tremendous amount of kinetic force and a loud snap of his neck makes the head all the way back and Donovan flips to lands on his feet in a somewhat fashionable way as Guttree falls slowly behind him.
