Fenris Drive [200]
Fenris Drive is the home of those..questionable wealthy individuals and
families. They keep to themselves in their lush, private abodes..thus, the
fences and stone walls here are all tall, and unforgiving. Some of the gates
have high-tech security systems attached to make sure noone unwelcome may
enter. Who knows what goes on inside those large houses? But one thing's for
sure..the residents of Fenris Drive are rarely seen in public. To the west,
you can see the intersection where Fenris meets with its 'cousin',
Heimdall..and directly to the east, the street and road yields to the iron
fencing surrounding a large borealic park and lake.

>Cloud's eyes widen. At this point, he's quite possibly ready for goddess
worship.
>Prophet . o O ( What is going on...? I sensed the disturbance from my
fortress.... )
>Prophet stands across the street, utterly silent. Except for the small fact you
didn't notice him walk in, he seems harmless enough.
>Es-chan slowly begins to claw her way up to her feet...she glances at the
circle surrounding her...then -glares- at Belldandy, "Drop this NOW..." she
holds a hand over her own chest, "Or I'll stop that girl's heart and shatter
her soul... FOREVER destroying her WITHOUT possibility of ressurection..even by
one such as -you-..." she glares...as she does indeed have Kim in her clutches
totally..."And go ahead...say you'll let me do it..give me ONE good excuse to
tell your master how you'll willingly let your charges die....go on....."
>Prophet speaks up, "And if you do that, what will stop them from destroying you
in turn, reptile?"
>Es-chan answers Prophet, "She won't do it. She can't. It isn't in her
nature.." as she continues holding her hand over her own chest..
>Prophet says, in a deep voice, "But it's in MINE."
>Cloud says, "... their souls are forfeit anyway, if you hold them..."
>Belldandy's eyes narrow slightly at Esmerelda, then she holds out a hand to the
others, as if to hold whatever they have in mind.
>Es-chan smiles, "Go ahead Prophet..give the being here one good excuse to
destroy you as well as I.. your as much a foe to her as I am.."
>Es-chan glances to Prophet, "And don't think you can keep secrets from HER." as
she then looks back to Belldandy savagely..
>Prophet says, in a deep voice, "I am just stating the facts, reptile."
>Es-chan answers, "So am I"
>Prophet . o O ( The other girl... what an odd wind around her... gentle...
almost like Schala's... )
>Es-chan's hand begins to lower, "I'm warning you...release me..NOW..or I'll do
it.."
>Es-chan . o O ( Actually..I hope she DOES let me do it..if I can break her code
of conduct..I can make grounds for her to be banished.... )
>Ryan slings the blaster over his shoulder, though he still stands in front of
the girls. . o O ( Hooboy. This is not gonna be pretty )
>Cloud narrows his eyes, tightening his grip on the hilt.
>Belldandy lets her one hand lower, the other still aimed at holding the field.
She says in a hushed voice, "You claim ownership of her soul?" Her eyes narrow
almost more dangerously than Es' "What do you think gives you the -right- to do
so? That in itself is enough for me to eliminate you, no matter what you may
do. And as for our abilities, you can't even begin to fathom them, dragoness."
She brings her hand together in a fist, the light shrinking down and covering
Esmerelda like a second skin, "Now...bring them back."
>Cloud says, "..." A dragoness and a... goddess.
>Prophet rubs his chin with a gloved hand. A faint hint of a smirk crosses his
face.
>Kim teleports into the room.
>Kim arrives, with Lyrae following behind.
>Kim and Lyrae climb out of a manhole, further off down the street, away from
the others.
>Hooded Figure sits on the ground in the distance, looking around blankly..then
up at Kim.
>Kim takes a DEEP breath after covering the hole. @.@
>Kim says, "Aaaah"
>Belldandy says, "None claim ownership of souls but those who guide the dead to
their destinations." She opens her hand again, the light reforming a circle,
"Now..do as I asked."
>Hooded Figure turns around and tilts her head backwards, her gaze moving
upwards to fix itself on a point at the top floor of Sensou Enterprises. o O (
.... )
>Es-chan scowls as the light covers her...she's REALLY ticked now... this
Goddess is breaking her cover.. she doesn't WANT to force a confrontation..
it's far..FAR too soon to unleash her power.. but she can't just let this
Megami push her around...she suddenly shifts her eyes over her
shoulder...snarling again..she staggles a bit as the light releases
her...GLARING at Belldandy..defiantly, "No. They are -mine-. And you will
have to FIGHT me for them..."
>Prophet says, in a deep voice, "I suggest you back down, reptile. You might be
able to handle her, or me, alone, but not us both."
>Es-chan snarls at Prophet, "Stay OUT of this MORTAL." then glares back to
Belldandy
>Kim says, "Aa..." as her choker lights up again, her eyes as well.
>Janus still remains happily unconcious. ^_^;
>Janus is safer that way, though. x.x
>Hooded Figure slowly turns her gaze away from the building, glancing towards
Kim.
>Kim says, "We have to run."
>Prophet retains the slight hint of a smirk. He seems greatly amused.
>Hooded Figure looks at Kim and nods.
>Kim stands up, taking Lyrae's hand.
>Hooded Figure clasps Kim's hand with hers.
>Cloud shakes his head, shifting to move towards Kim and Lyrae.
>Kim dashes down the street with Lyrae in tow, her cloak flapping about behind
her.
>Ryan steps aside as Lyrae and Kim rush past... don't seem in as much danger
now, if the stalemate continues
>Kim walks west.
>Kim leaves, with Lyrae following behind her.
>Cloud risks a look at Belldandy and Magus, deciding that they have the
situation well in hand. He looks over at Ryan, as if asking if they should go
after Kim and Lyrae
>Ryan looks back at Cloud, nodding
>Ryan walks over, picking up Janus' unconscious form, and runs up behind Cloud
>Belldandy glances over towards the voice, then back at the figure in her
holding field, "Esmerelda, I've just been notified that I have permission to
extinguish your life should you continue to hold onto them. Both the Keepers of
the Blessed -and- the Damned frown upon this sort of behavior. Now, if it is a
fight you want, then I can promise I will make it quick and painless. Do so if
you have grown tired of this life and seek to experience another."
>Ryan falls in line behind Cloud.
>Prophet rubs his chin with his gloved hand. "Checkmate, Esmerelda."
>Janus falls in line behind Cloud.
>Es-chan points at Belldandy, "YES I do challenge you! I challenge you to one
on one combat! I believe THAT much is within my rights in your own
books..afterall..the Divine can't lose..ne? Either that..or we FIGHT right
here! And you know the resulting combat will destroy every last living thing
in this city..." she threatens...
>Prophet says, in a deep voice, "It doesn't have to. I have a suitable
battleground, if you're so determined..."
>Cloud walks west.
>Cloud leaves, with Ryan and Janus following behind him.
>Belldandy doesn't make a move, "Esmerelda, do you truly believe that? If we
were to fight, it would most certainly not be on this plane of existance. My
aim is not to fight you, however, but if you continue to disregard my requests,
then it shall be your own folly."
>Prophet says, in a deep voice, "Discretion IS the better part of valor, after
all. And it would be a shame to end it now..."
>Es-chan doesn't make a move either..still pointing at Belldandy, "Then as the
humans say 'Put up or SHUT up'. I've THROUGH with your arrogant DRIVEL ...your
requests? I'll make a request of my own! STAY out of my BUSINESS! Either let
me go this INSTANT.... or I will fight you HERE and NOW.." as you suddenly feel
an upsurge in SERIOUS magical power..is the ground starting to rumble? She
means it.....
>Prophet quietly brings up a shield around him, with a minimum of gesturing and
chanting. Just in case.
>Shermie arrives from the west.
>Shermie has arrived.
>Belldandy frowns, a faint glow starting to appear around her, "Esmerelda!" Her
lips draw tight in a straight line, "Very well then, you leave me no choice."
With one hand still holding the field, she draws a cross in midair with her
other, then thrusts both hands towards Esmerelda. There's a flash of white
light, which quickly becomes blinding, hiding everything from sight
>Prophet puts his hand in front of his face . o O ( What's this...? )
>Es-chan's eyes widen..as she screams! "NOOOOO!!!" as she disappears into the
light..
>Shermie shields her eyes and frowns.
>The light slowly fades, and when it does, both Belldandy and Esmerelda are on
their knees..
>Prophet rubs his chin. "Fascinating..."
>Shermie strolls forwards, slipping her cell phone into her vest. "Are you
alright?" She kneels down to help Belldandy up.
>Es-chan, actually, isn't. She's no where to be seen... did the light destroy
her?
>Esmerelda teleports out of the room.
>Esmerelda has left.
>Prophet . o O ( Not destroyed... but not present either... )
>Belldandy pants, looking over to where Esmerelda was . o O ( She's gone.. Where
to, I can't tell, but that should keep her under control for a while.. )
>Prophet stands across the street, watching Belldandy with great interest
>Shermie helps Belldandy to her feet if she is able, letting Bell lean against
her shoulder. "The light was your doing, non?"
>Belldandy hmms softly and looks up at Shermie, looking more than a little worn
out. "You.." is all she says
>Shermie smiles slowly like the cheshire cat. "Oui. "
>Prophet rubs his chin again with his gloved hand. "Perhaps we should discuss
things later, madam..."
>Belldandy puts a hand to her temple, getting her breath back, "Thank you, I'll
be fine." With a curious gaze, she regards the Prophet, "And you are..?"
>Prophet says in a monotone, but with a slight hint of curiosity. "I am the
Magus. I wasn't expecting something like you around here... you may prove
helpful..."
>Shermie frowns a little, putting a arm around Belldandy's shoulders. "I think
not Monsiure." o O ( We have our own plans for her. )
>Belldandy gives Shermie a thankful smile, then pushes back some hair that has
fallen across her cheek, exposing the markings by her eyes, "I would be happy
to discuss things.." she sighs softly, "..when I am not as tired."
>Prophet smiles, though it doesn't seem reassuring coming from him. "Do not
worry... I have no plans to harm her... Rest as long as you need to, I doubt
the reptile will cause trouble for a while."
>Shermie asks, "We shall see, non Chere?"
>Belldandy shakes her head, "Oh, she won't. Her magic has been sealed for now.
Something for her to think about should she decide to continue these actions of
hers."
>Prophet adds, "Yes. We shall see, in time."
>Magus steps back. He takes a moment to survey the surroundings, then chants - a
second later a dark portal opens behind the wizard, and he simply steps back
into it, with both him and the portal disappearing after.
