#7 Welcome To The Grocery Store!

(The hallway now opens into a gigantic mausoleum that seems to have multiple army soldiers walking around, as if guarding this place. Towards the back is an altar that seems to be worshipping the goddess...Izanami. Juno is seen walking Dantzler towards this altar, as a single man is seen standing at the top of it. His arms are spread wide and with his head leaning back. His eyes are closed; he's semmingly in a trance, chanting as if in the middle of a prayer. Every so often a faint hum is heard ringing from the statue of Izanami.)

Praying Preist: (He proclaims this loud and almost charismatically.) "Oh lady Izanami! May your glory be held! May your spirit wash over me as I cleanse this world of sinners. Your blessing my lady, has given me such vigor and motivation to cleanse this Earth in an "Empty...Void." May your love be internal, and may your blessing be infinite. As I offer you the sacrificial lambs." (A deep black Aura emanates around his body, and the altar seems to vibrate. In response, the soldiers slowly but surely are cleaning the room of the previous bodies. As the priest finishes his prayer, he turns and faces them, and proudly proclaims to a nearby soldier.) "Tell the general we may finish our discussion of how to deal with the Balshion population, and return our world to Eden! Look up and marvel at what my daughter Juno has brought in. A "Deidic," one of the wretched monsters from the other world. A demon that would kill our Gods for their own power." (He briefly pauses almost systematically.)

Praying Priest: "But fear not my children! For Izanami has answered me, and she has given me much to say to this demon. The time has come at last." (Turning to face Dantzler and to speak to him.) "Speak thy name, monster..."

Dantzler: (With a rather annoyed look on his face.) "Man, every time.."

Praying Priest: "Excuse me?"

Dantzler: "Every.. single.. time. You know, I used to watch cartoons when I was a kid. The person that always appealed to me the most, was the guy that worked behind the grocery store register. Now I'm going to tell you once. My name is in fact the cashier. Today we have a special! It's called these hands, and there's a discount for everyone in the room. Who wants the free 99?"

Praying Priest: "Look upon this demon my children. It mocks us in amusement. Believing it has already won. Musing and it's moments of despair."

(Kimora is slowly being placed on the altar and her mask is taken off. From the angle in which he is standing Dantzler cannot see her face. As the mask is removed she's slowly starts to wake up, but pretends to be asleep anyway.)

Kimora: (Allowing her thoughts to fall away from Dantzler's current situation and the fight about to ensue, she thinks to herself...) "Damnit, of all the times for us to run into some other sneaky bitch and it had to be now. This is now the second fucking time and Hevenly was bad enough So in the future I will be sniping the next one where she stands! Now let's try this..Disturbance!" (The area around her begins to seemingly drain of color for just a moment. Reality bends on itself coating her in this colorless void as she disappears. Causing a small black hole to open in that area in which she previously laid no bigger than a pencil. Simultaneously somewhere above ground, a few explosions can be heard. The soldiers run off to go check on this. The priest instantly notices that Kimora went missing. One of the nearby soldiers is listening to the radio and hearing some disturbing news from above. As his radio blares with screams of his comrades claiming they are under attack, he's swiftly issues an order for them to get the tank as they come above ground)

Praying Priest: "What have you done monster?!" (Now throwing off his robes, revealing battle armor consisting of dark blue painted light metals, and cloth. As well as a sickle and several kunai that seemingly appeared from nowhere within his hands.) "I cast you out and may you be cleansed in the holy flame!! "Emptyness!" Consume!!" (The strange black Aura from before radiates throughout his body again. Surging from his head to his toe, and then into the kunai. He throws the kunai, and as it flies towards Dantzler. The kunai is now seen seemingly splitting the very air itself. As well as peeling away the dimension itself, as it flies through the air.) 

Juno: (Noticing that her father has started to move the plan ahead of schedule she attempts to run infront of Dantzler. Within a few seconds a small whimper is heard as she shuts her eyes in fear and screams aloud.) "Look out!"

Praying Priest: "Izanami giveth, and Izanami taketh. Did you believe me ignorant of your treachery? You brought this demon here in hopes that he would defy me, did you not?"

Dantzler: (Dantzler at this point, is breaking free of the chains. He runs forward using "Sheer Speed" to quickly get behind her and begins prepping himself for the kunai infused with cosmic energy, he rears back and lunges forward slamming his fist into the kunai. As he surges with energy around his entire body, he screams aloud.) "IMPACT!!!" {Definition: The action of one object coming forcibly into contact with another.} 

Kimora: (With the mask landing in her lap, she suddenly appears falling back inside of the mining cart. It happens with a quick flash of light right outside of the doors in which Dantzler and the priest are fighting. Suddenly Kimora realizes she was immediately noticed by Syren as he begins making his way out the door towards her.)

Kimora: (Quickly noticing that Dantzler has already begun to fight the Praying Priest on the inside. She begins taking a Taekwondo combat stance; as if ready to fight Syren.) "That's an awful big sword you have there gramps. Is that compensation, or do you actually know how to use it? (She says with a smirk on her face, clearly taunting him.)

Syren: (Bowing his head for a moment, he places the swords blade on the ground behind him, and mumbles under his breath.) "Void"{Definition: Discharge or drain away} stance...The Hunt! (The room becomes devoid of all coloration as he begins to move within accelerated time. Dragging his blade along the ground he runs at her and attempts to slash her in the stomach with his now unsheathed sword.)

Kimora: (Confused as to how time seemed to have just stopped, noticed that Syren had begun his onslaught of attacks. Beginning with an attempt at disemboweling her. Seeing the blade coming she dives over it. Mid-dive she attempts to spin her body in a 720-degree angle, throwing a kick to his neck.)

Syren: "Aren't we the limber little one?!" (As his strike misses, he continues following through with his blade. Using her kick's momentum to move him forward. Allowing her kick to simply brush past the back of his head. Readjusting his stance, he again places the blade on the ground. His body begins to vibrate violently in an unnatural fashion before he says aloud.) "Void! The Ripper!!" (Slashing at the air in front of him, he is clearly seen opening a small portal. Simultaneously, Kimora's arm is seen being cut and heavily bleeding as she screams in pain and grabs her arm. Syren; not wasting a moment, rushes into the portal to have another portal open above her. Causing him to drop down in an attempt to stab her through the neck.)

Kimora: (Now becoming angry, her eyes change from crystal blue to a sunset purple with draconic slits. Her reaction timing seems to get slightly faster as she rolls backwards, avoiding his strike. She uses the backwards momentum she gains to spin on the heel of her foot and land a solid kick into his back, sending him flying into the side of the cart.) "W-what the hell was that?! You didn't even hit me and somehow you cut me! Plus how in Evelyn's name are you using "Distortion?!" {Definition: The action of distorting or the state of being distorted. To bend or to warp.}

Syren: (Laughing loudly at his new discovery as he quickly recovered and got to his feet.) "Girl...you are nothing like that monster. You seem to be ignorant of your true gifts or what you really are, and after that little display I think I understand. Definitions and Universal Constants. The two things outside the reach of the average man. A Definition is a word born with someone that is the entire makeup of their very being. The one thing that will always be true to them. Often times, a Definition's strength will vary depending on how many definitions it has. We humans are not blessed with such gifts. Unlike the Deidic's, who steal the very definitions of those they kill."

Kimora: "Wrong! Deidic's are every much as human as we are! They live normal meaningful lives! They have heartbreaks and disparities...They have triumphs and victories...They have cold nights and vicious creatures, but most of all...They have HEART! The Deidic's I've been blessed to meet are some of the greatest people I will ever be able to thank my life for! If you're going to threaten that, you better be damn well ready to go to war!! DISTURBANCE!! {Definition: The interruption of a settled and peaceful condition. Disruption.}

(Kimora now causing her body to shine briefly. She is seen breaking down on an atomic level, the mask now tied to her arm. She then reappears as a whole mid-air in front of Syren throwing a flying knee; aiming for his face with little time for him to react.)

Syren: "Dragon!!" (Clearly not expecting this, he attempts to stab straightforward in an effort to kill her in one clean strike.) 

    (As they continue to fight within paused time the space around them fades to  darkness and a scream is heard as blood splatters everywhere. Meanwhile; in the background through the open doors you can see Dantzler is frozen in time with the Praying Priest.)
