Rose sighed. "Okay" She glanced to AFR and listened. "It would be too late by then, wouldnt it?"

"Hardly... we just have to lure her out of the populous. Let it destroy nothing important... a mountain or some other landscape... the overload of power will short circuit her and we will be able to decommission it for good."

Hey. Hey guess what. Guess who's over there watching you.
Go ahead, guess.
Cause if you guessed creeper!Mephisto, you'd be right! YAY! Except not, he's gonna stab a bitch. Oddly enough, he looked far more human than either of them would have seen in a while. He had legs now! Rotting, icky legs, but hey, you work with what you get. He still had a really big hood and cape going on, so the rest of him was still in shadow. And he's just staaaaaring. Who knows how long he's been there man.

AFR continued to think as The man with them looked around... "Someone is watching us... whoever it is reeks of the signature of the creation attacking Amamizu..."
AFR blinked... he looked about and found himself pulling towards his guns. He inched near Rose... "Why can't we ever just take a normal walk...?" He smiled a little, just their luck I guess. He was ready for action... the lack of life around here was clearly someone else's doing, not the man they have been talking to's

Rose's empathy flared and instantly her stance changed. Defensive. Her fingertips snapped with crimson energy. Her eyes flew over their surroundings as a strange feedback played into her head. She groaned at the sound and shifted backwards some. "Because God hates us. Thats why." Her eyes settled. "Mephisto"

Although you couldn't see his face, you could basically hear the smirk in his voice. He moved away from the wall, eyes glinting from the depths of his hood, along with something big, heavy and gold strung around his neck. "I can assure you, I will be out of your way as soon as possible." Yeah, no, he didn't like spending time around them anymore than they liked spending it around him.

The man with them did not seem easy about that. "If this man is the source of the power that drives the creations then perhaps he is the way of controlling them as well."
AFR nodded. "It wouldn't be beyond him to do it... he's certainly a pain in our asses." AFR of course was still on stand by... while The Other Man seemed to flicker with his own energies...
"This power is not new to me... It's ancient and well documented. Proceed with caution, Michael." The man warned.

Rose was already blocking AFR and the other man out. Why? She was focusing on her highest threat. What she was trained to do. She glared at Mephisto. "Then why the hell are you here." She took the energy from one of her hands and used that hand to brace against her head. Uuugh she hated that noise. That horrible frequency noise.

Mephisto glanced between AFR and Rose, his head not moving, although you could feel his gaze. His words, however, were directed at the third man, for the moment, "I have nothing to do with those abominations." He was kind of offended, he thought his handiwork was much more subtle and better than that, "Leave." He got one warning, cause Mephisto would have to kill him otherwise. Thems be the rules!

The man shook his head a bit. "You know me well enough, and I you. You aren't one to just watch... you are a hands on kind of trouble maker. Tonight you will draw blood from one of us three and I would be honored to let it be mine." The Man loosely stood waiting for his retaliatory blow. This man was born for this kind of confrontation. "Remove your taint from my homeland."

Rose was not digging this situation. And she wasn't about to voice it. In the mans presence, she knew her place. So she didn't say a word.

Mephisto bared his teeth, "You know nothing." NOTHING AT ALL. "I am not after blood, and I do not care for your homeland." wtf get out, he had nothing to do with that shit, you could blame AFR. Anyways, he had wasted enough time already. Taking a step forward, he moved from being way over there, to directly in front of Rose, "Hello, my dear." FANCY SEEING YOU HERE. And so, as human-ish as he looked, his hands were still made of bladed fingers. That he promptly thrust into Rose's midsection. But in the fancy metaphysical way, so she wasn't actually stabbed! Kinda. It'll make sense in a second.

The boys took there turns Mephisto found the Man was a bit of a pain in his own right as moments after Mephisto took the shot at Rose a burning sensation graced his own body as the man singed Mephisto with his mental energy. AFR was left chasing for Rose because he certainly would not fire near her and risk missing.
"Rose!" AFR screamed as he ignited into full sprint to his beloved.
"Michael Wait!" the man warned

Rose was in shock. There was no pain. There wasn't any blood. She was just in shock. She blinked and looked up at Mephisto. "What the FUCK did you just do?!" She was kinda pissed. Actually she was a lotta pissed. She ripped herself backwards and immediately threw as much energy at him as she could.

Mephisto didn't do so much as blink as they attempted to hit him with energy, looking rather pleased with himself. If Rose was paying any kind of attention, she would've seen the big gold thing hanging around his neck was actually an amulet of some kind, with spaces for 7 stones, although curiously enough only 2 were filled in. With an overly elaborate mocking bow, he swept his cape in front of him, "You have been most helpful, and I thank you." muwhahahaha!

AFR was still running at Mephisto while the man took full focus on the amulet he attempted to take it from him and it tugged away from Mephisto's body and towards Rose. "Rosette! Grab that quick!" Not enough time to explain why... just for her to do it. Meanwhile AFR had leaped to land a single crushing blow to Mephisto's spine. Then as fast as he jumped a force pushed him far away from Mephisto. The Amulet lost it's pull to Rose.

Rose reached for it, but she was a bit off from her soul being all stolen and stuff. And missed. Wow.

Well now you done gone and pissed him off! With a snarl, he rounded on the other man, again feigning taking a step and teleporting the distance between him, seizing him around the neck. "Do not mess in matters that are not yours, iknfyni." And then he stabbed him. But in the real way, not the freaky metaphysical way. DON'T MESS WITH HIS SHIT MAN ITS NOT COOL. And if he was paying attention, he'd see that there were now three jewels filled in, with four spots left. But he didn't have a lot of time for that, since Mephisto ripped his claws sideways, and then proceeded to drop him, vanishing on the spot.
Seriously, don't mess with his shit.

The man hit the ground, but the wound did not take long to heal over... he groaned and angerly grit his teeth. To think someone as him could be manhandled that way. He stood up and headed to the others. AFR was kinda confused as to why he was tossed aside. AFR stood up and looked to the man and then to Rose... he took her hand and moved it to his. "What happened?... what did he do to her?"
The guy shook his head. "That amulet is one of great power. Fueled by the souls of strong individuals. I got a close enough look at it to know that he has taken it from both Rosette and myself with as little as a touch."
AFR looked worried... as he should be I guess. "What does that mean... what will happen to her..."
The man continued. "When one's soul is severed they will become extremely ill as time passes apart from it... we must retain the amulet without delay..."
AFR was not looking to dimension jump after this... "We can't leave until she has it back..." He held her tight... "I love you, dearest... I will do whatever needs to be done." Whatever that is.
