Field Test? or Field Fear? (Yona/Social)

"I'll have to try harder ? Tssehehe ... TSSSAHAHAHA" Mars cackled loudly when he took off the Dragon King's hand on one large swing of his negative scythe only to see it regrow right after. He grinned. The Lord of War figured that it wouldn't be easy to fight this foe at all, no, in fact the other seemed to possess a similarly strong healing factor to his own, leaving the Second Seal wondering just who exactly this opponent was. He resisted the holy light of his creator, he was strong, he was fast. Perhaps the other was a similarly created being ? Perhaps he had achieved this strength of his own merit. Either way, it was not Mars' place to judge or think about it. He had been created to wage war, and wage war he would. Dashing back with his regular inhuman speed Mars quickly avoided the sudden blade like burst that emitted from his opponents body and spread quickly, propelled backwards by the force of the wind he commanded before coming to a halt a good 200 meters away from the clearing and in the woods around the area. His glowing red eyes still firmly locked on Sol, who he could see clear as day despite the distance, Mars grinned anew. The poison that soared through his veins burned, but the sensation subsided immediately when he had increased the distance between himself and the Dragon Kind. Not only that, the mist that the other released suddenly also did not quite reach him, though lingering in the area. He most certainly had no interest in stepping into that again. Sheathing his rapier Mars laughed out loud.

If this was all the other had to offer he would have an easy time, the dark strings of his wings forming on his back, the pitch black wings spreading before lifting him up in the air, the scythe still firmly grasped in his hands. Since his opponent seemed well prepared against light, Mars figured it was time for something else. Pointing one arm at Sol, the toothy grin had returned to the Vice President's face, his open palm facing the Dragon King as the runes on his body and his eyes flared up anew, this time shining in a bright red, the deep and distorted voice of Mars speaking from the VP's mouth, "Resilio Elementis" before releasing the beam of pure heat. Less than a second later it impacted where Sol had stood, the energy delivered by the spell exploding into a huge ball of flame and fire, a scorching inferno that would obliterate everything within 30 meters of the point of impact. To top it off, before the flames had even died down Mars unleashed another spell while hovering in the skies above, concentrations of black energy appearing behind him, around 20 eye like orbs floating around, each glowing with eerie energy before releasing a cascade of dark, negative beams at the Dragon King, each exploding into a burst of negative energy on impact that would spread a good 3 meters in all directions and corrode everything within their reach, destroying organic and inorganic matter alike.

With that, however, the Lord of War noticed something else at the edge of his vision. Yona ! The girl had come back, seemingly in an even worse shape than before. "Shit", Mars couldn't help but think, fearing for the girl's life. Johann's influence on him was strong, just as much as Mars' was on the VP, even in this form, and thus he couldn't help but feel compelled to step in. In a sudden burst of unlimited speed Mars ripped through space itself, instantly appearing beside the girl and kneeling down, touching her in an explosion of elements, hopefully healing her and neutralizing some of the poison that plagued her. Mars kept his eyes focussed on Sol, but stretched out his free hand towards Yona, the orbs of negative energy still hovering behind him "Have you found "it" ? Quick, girl, hand it over. We have to stop him. NOW !", his voice cold, emotionless, his scythe firmly grasped by the other hand. He was ready to protect the girl with everything he had, his own body if necessary, and calm down his adversary, or else this would just turn into a long, drawn out massacre for Tolgalen with no end in sight.

As Sol heard the possessed VP laugh at him he grinned right back at him as his grin threatened to split his face as all his fangs was revealed in a frightening grin.”finally someone who  won’t break like a toothpick when I punch them this is getting FUN” he roared the last word with sadistic glee.”If that’s the case perhaps you won’t mind if I take a limb since you took one of mine” he questioned before he felt the spells the Second Seal had unleashed strike his body to the point he was hidden in the firey explosion and the  beams of dark energy. It seemed like the end.

But as the explosion subsided and the  smoke cleared Sols body could be seen on the ground thought eh dark energy was not corroding him but it was clear something was going on with the dragon king. His body was immensely injuried but he put a hand up and then slowly pushed himself up from the ground, his body was badly burned and his upper half of his uniform was destroyed leaving him bare chested  the scar from Demis scythe clear as day across his upper chest. He was missing a big chunk of flesh from his stomach region but it was quickly regenerating  but the 8 year old seemed to be growing in size as his body seemed to change as he kept his eyes closed.

He had returned to his size at almost 7 feet tall but his hair had grown out a bit and had started to gradient from jet black to  vibrant crimson red like blood, his  chest and arms gained black scale like patterns at points of his body as his ears shifted and became longer and more pointed. However the two big changes was the two obsidian like horn like protrusions from his head and a black cloak formed from the air and settled across his shoulders and back with  a small length of chain connecting them with the points on the shoulder gradienting to crimson as well. The moment he opened his eyes they were not the normal ruby red they normally were but fiery orange and glowing with strength. “ heh how long has it been since I used this  form” he muttered more to himself then to Mars,  the dragon stretched a bit and cracked his fingers before he took a breath in.

Suddenly he unleashed a powerful roar and caused a massive shockwave to travel for miles across the island, the ground rumbled and the trees cracked and groaned in response to the shockwave and the power that Sol started to emit from his body as  his magic power became so dense it was visible and clung to him like a black aura that was almost alive. The ground was crumbling beneath him as animals fled the area in terror of this creature. As he grinned pridefully the burns and wounds he had vanished as if they were never there though he still feel the effects of the damage.  The empowered slayer moved towards the Second Seal with no fear in his eyes.”come on you thought you could do something with those attacks if that’s the only thing you have then your just pathetic” he taunted as he kept moving forward, once he knew he was in range he focused his killing intent on mars to cause his shadow to darken and then would start harming him as Sol  suddenly shot forward  as his arms changed into the shadowy wings of a shadow dragon and he aimed to wrap them around the Possessed Vice President and them skewer him with multiple spikes of shadow.

Spells and abilitys used:

Yona scrambled, trying to drag her body. She felt her green hair sticking to the side of her neck with sweat and her arms trembled with muscle fatigue. She couldn't feel either of her legs and now she felt numbness in her fingers and hands. She pulled her body over the ground, staining her shirt and covering herself with grass and dirt until abruptly she stopped moving. Her left arm flopped before her and she shouted at it, "No! No!" It wouldn't lift and her fingers wouldn't bunch up. A striking pain hit her chest from the inside as the poison spread and she closed her eyes, grimacing. Her body had given up and she lay there almost as if dead, Yona's breathing labored.

She gasped, trying to suck in the air, but her lungs felt bunched up. She knew the paralysis was settling into her chest and soon her heart would stop receiving the message from her brain to pump blood through her body. Soon her lungs would stop inflating and she would die, her brain fully functional and knowledgeable while the rest of her became useless. Inside of her head came the voice from before, a dark frustrated voice, "Get up! You need to move. Give him that kiseru! Give me your body, your blood; do something!" Yona could not comply. She shivered looking up from the ground, opening her eyes to see Mars appearing beside her. He appeared powerful, she could feel his strength rolling off his body and caught sight of an impressive scythe in his hand. His other hand reached out to her as he demanded the kiseru. She longed to give it to him. Yona drew back her tingling right hand from the ground, sliding it with struggle into her short's pocket. The plant mage pulled it out and extended to place the kiseru in Mars' hand. She almost made it too, until her arm froze in place and fell back, hitting the ground. The kiseru, still obvious in her hand, rested close but the fear in Yona's eyes was palpable. "No," She corrected, her voice shaking, "You must stop him."

Behind Mars, Yona caught the movement of Sol's change. The swashes of red and black giving way to a 7 foot tall male with dragon-esque features. His power exuded from him in amounts that rivaled Mars' own. The young woman might have flinched or cried out had paralysis not taken over her chest then, preventing the air from leaving her mouth in any calculated way. Like a deflated balloon, a droning sound left her lips and she blinked quickly, terrified. She had thought Mars was a monster once, but she had never imagined the austere, the unshakeable, the unsmiling boring man, with his textbooks and vials.... she had never imagined that Sol could be a monster too. Yona felt the roar shake the ground beneath her, the force rippling her green hair over her face, skewing her vision so that she could no longer see what was going on around her. She didn't see wings sprout out of Sol's body, nor did she see his approach.

When the massive burst of energy hit Mars, he steadied himself, his body used to redirect the flow of magic away from the girl. "This madman is going to destroy the island", the Lord of War grit his teeth, bearing the full onslaught of magical energy instead of countering with his own. This place had already become a battlefield. If he himself would stop playing around and start fighting too then the island of Tolgalen would become hell on earth, and as far as Mars was concerned, this was a matter between him and the king of dragons. There was no need for the involvement of innocents. Though ... the Second Seal, Lord of War, couldn't help but grin to himself at the opponent's taunt, having finally found an adversary that could stand up to him, someone who rivaled him in power. "If we keep fighting here it'll mean nothing. We'll both waste our time and energy, and we could keep going and going and going ... and nobody would come out on top. I've had enough, dragon king", standing still even as the shadow shot forward, dark red, almost black blood spilling from the wounds where the attack pierced his flesh all over his body, though still remaining unmoving.

"Is it really the time to be debating semantics ?" the head of Mars turned towards the girl, a weak smile on the lips of the old man, a small stream of blood running from the corner of his mouth "Just give me that damn Kiseru", he reached out, grasping the item firmly with his right hand, still held in place by Sol's shadowy wings. "It is this you desire, is it not ? Here ...", with a single sweep of his hand he threw it at the dragon king casually for him to snatch "...now that you have what you want, stop your mindless rage, dragon king. Heal the girl so we all can go back to our lives, tsssehehehe". The Lord of War hoped that this would be enough to bring the other back. Of course there was no guarantee, but he had hope. If it didn't help, well, he was confident he could at least match the other in terms of strength, but ... what would that mean for the environment ? For the Company ? Without having fully completed the integration process, and without that goal being accomplished in the near future, he had no choice for now but to try and defuse the situation. "So ? What say you, oh mighty king of dragons ? Enough play for today ?", cackling to himself as the wounds on his body started closing back up. He was definitely interested in this dark creature of shadows that had power's almost coming close to even the Fourth Seal, with magic rivaling theirs. Perhaps ... ? No, there was no way. For now, the Second of the Seven Seals would suppress his curiosity for the sake of his hosts' interests ... for now.

Sols smirk grinned even further as his pride was bolstered by Mars stating that no one would come out on top. “I disagree Im not going to settle for a draw Ill be the victor” he declared before he saw his spikes impale the possessed man but then he was tossed something and he caught it out of instinct. Sol heard Mars say that it was what he wanted and he glanced down to see it was his Kiseru, suddenly Sol saw Yuiisais face flash thru his mind and his shadows started to vanished and fade away as they let go of Mars.”Yuii what have I been doing” he said more to himself then to Mars or Yona as his form seemed to waver and he reverted back to his childlike form as he could almost hear Yuiisais voice whispering calm and soothing things to him which made his temper drop and his eyes turned back to normal as he felt himself relax and the darkness faded back into him.

“ugh I don’t feel to good” he uttered before he saw Yona in a very dire state and he instantly relized it was his poison?”Yona oh god did I snap Ill fix this” he said as he quickly took her arm and he quickly sunk his fangs into her arm but only gently as he injected his magic into her so her immune system would wipe it out the poison in her system.”I told you this was important but you didn’t listen why didn’t you listen” he mumbled as he watched her to make sure that she recovered.

Yona's green eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat, and then a second. The pain was rampant in her limbs, but knowing what would happen next was what made her eyes stretch impossibly wide. Her mouth parted and she tried to take a deep breath, but her heart would not pump. It stopped moving the blood inside of her. It didn't matter how much oxygen she brought in through her gaping maw, her heart would not transport it. The strain inside her body made her have to fight to keep her eyes open at all then. Her eyes began to droop and then they closed. Ketsueki, the demon within, shouted at her frantically. He fed her his power, giving her anything he could to try to keep her conscious. However, without a working heart, there was little he could do. Her eyes blinked back open, shining a vibrant blue, the demon's blue flames visible in the mage's face for both Mars and Sol to see.

Yona felt pressure, but no pain as Sol's teeth entered into the flesh of her arm. The rush of Sol's magic burst through her like a tidal wave. It removed her pain, it removed the tightness in her muscles, and her heart beat once. And then it beat again. Slowly at first, but steady, Yona's heart began pushing her blood through the veins and arteries, bringing oxygen to every organ, every muscle, and of course her brain. The lag in Yona returning to herself gave the demon within a moment's chance to take advantage. Ketsueki's power flared up, enhancing the process, exaggerating the spread of Sol's cure until Yona was nearly twice as good as when she had started out the day. Her eyes were still a firey blue, and the skin about her neck and collarbone appeared to create branch-like projections. Seconds later, everything about Yona reverted to normal.

Yona took a steady breath, her skin glowing with energy and fading back to her normal color tones. "Why didn't I listen? I thought we were playing around. I joke with everyone, you're the one who went psycho. Johann, tell him he went crazy and it's his fault, not mine!" Yona grumbled vivaciously. She huffed and closed her eyes, yawning and then stretched her arms out. She touched her arm where Sol had bit her, the same arm he had broken and made a soft 'hmm' sound. She couldn't recall her arm ever being healed. Yona glanced down at her ankle wondering if the break or the bad sprain was also healed or if she would find an unpleasant surprise when she stood up. "All this over a damn pipe. You know smoking kills people," Yona criticized Sol. She gave Johann a grateful look, wanting to thank him, but also knowing that he didn't much need her thanks. Yona was only glad that both of the VPs appeared to be fine. Except the fact that Sol the stern, Sol the serious, Sol the boring.... was now Sol the shirtless.

When the form of the dragon king changed back to his younger, shorter self, Mars let go a slight sigh of relief. "That was an awful lot of trouble for absolutely nothing. And I thought that, by now, you should've learned not to take things from others, girl. It's both of you, and that's coming from the old man himself", Mars tapped his forehead with one finger. It seemed almost strange. Not too long ago Mars had actively tried to murder the green haired mage. A lot seemed to have happened since then. "And you.", the Lord of War shifted his attention from the newly healed girl to the other VP "Formidable, really. I commend you for being able to keep up with the Second Seal. Say, we haven't met before, have we ? Something about your scent is ... familiar ... tse", he spoke with slightly intrigued voice. "In any case, my work here is done. You are the old man's problem now ... I'll see you soon, tssehehe"

With that, the black colour in the VP's eyes changed back to their regular white, the pupils changing back to a dull grey and a crimson, the runes on his skin losing their glow and vanishing as his expression changed. Immediately, Johann opened his mouth "ARE YOU TWO INSANE ?! What were you thinking ? Are you out of your goddamn minds ? Sol - As a Vice President I expect you to settle issues with members more gracefully, especially issues that aren't really issues." the old man nearly shouted at the other before turning to his mentee "And you - Smoking kills ? Really ? How can you be so irresponsible. You nearly died right here and now. What about your brother, Yona ? What about the Company ? Do you have a deathwish or what is it with you ?", the old man shook his head. It wasn't really her fault, but he was still worked up "Next time when someone asks you to give something back, you'll do it."

With that, this deal would be about done for the silver haired male. The girl had put it well, "All this over a damn pipe"
