Unified Legacy Nephalem Zekigne Zunias

Post by Zekigne Zunias on Jun 5, 2019 21:49:31 GMT -6

It had been a really rough week for Zekigne. Only a few days after Ryse had left and he returned to his routine of seeking isolation, he started getting picked on by bullies of the school. He'd been trying to figure out how to dodge them all week but to no avail. He had barely felt the angelic nature replacing his thoughts with itself lately. All he'd been feeling and hearing was the demonic nature of wrath echoing in his bones. More still the hatred was being suppressed by yours truly, who was too afraid he'd lose control. Thus the fire inside burned bright and strong, and was building up even more every day. To make matters even worse, the bullies were getting more cocky around Zekigne. They figured out he was afraid of his talent, and thus they weren't afraid of any retaliation of any sort. Because of that. They weren't afraid to push things too far.

Unfortunately for them. They'd push it farther than they should have...

His talent control class had just ended, but he hadn't learned anything that could help him suppress his angelic and demonic natures. No. Nothing. Just like it had been every week. Maybe he should just become a hermit at this point. He wasn't learning anything and he just ran the risk of hurting people... But he didn't want to be left alone either... He sighed as he was once again the last one outside of class. He had dropped one of his books and hurried to put it in the bag. He felt confident enough to state that he'd dropped and picked things up so many times he could hold the record for fastest cleanup of dropped books and supplies. When he reached the doorway however, an arm blocked it. Zekigne's face paled and his heart skipped a beat. Five older guys walked in with cruel smiles on their faces as they closed the door. "Where you going loser?" Zekigne's face showed terror, but his mind was already being influenced by his demonic nature. 'damn them, why now? Can't they give me a day of peace?' He watched as one of them put a chair against the door handle, and a heavy desk over that to keep the door from opening. The third seemed to reinforce the protection by melding the wall somewhat into the door, blocking some but not all of the seams.

Zekigne's heart started pounding faster before one of the bullies grabbed him and pushed him against a wall that kept them all out of sight from the door window. "I think it's time we gave the runt a lesson on the next level. You don't leave the classroom unless we say you can." Zekigne couldn't do anything. 'If I fight back, I'll run the risk of losing control and hurting them badly! Although... In hindsight it would be nice to get some payback they would never forget~' Unfortunately some of that dark defiance showed on his face and the ring leader punched him on the face. "Don't you DARE smile at me you punk! Come on guys, teach him his place!" And like that they started to beat him senseless. They spared him no pain. Zekigne grit his teeth as they struck him again and again. Wanting to curl into a ball but forced flat against the wall due to the bullies holding him fast. 'I... Have to.... Be strong...... And........ Not...... Let........ Them........ WIN!!!'

Suddenly he grabbed onto one of the arms holding him against the wall... And the arm vanished. Turned to dust and falling to the ground. The bully screamed as he saw his arm disintegrate. The other arm Zekigne grabbed burst into dark red and black flames as the bully howled in horror and pain. The others jumped away, seeing Zekigne land on the ground. His eye color shifting from gold to red, and beginning to glow.

The first sign that Ryse knew there was trouble was that Zeke hadn't been in his room. She'd gone there to see him, like she promised she would after she got back, and the younger student hadn't been there. Luckily, though, she had a strong sense of smell. And the scent had told her that he'd left the room recently. The only reason he would leave his room would be to go to class.

So off she went to the classrooms. Following the scent had been rather easy; Zeke's was rather unique. She'd shown him a shortcut to get to the classrooms and back to his room without going past a lot of people, so this was the route she took as she walked. It seemed he'd memorized it by now. As she walked her eyes scanned the courtyard, looking for a particular scared looking blond boy. But he was nowhere to be seen, and the trail was leading towards the classrooms. Maybe he was still in class?

As she neared the rooms, however, her steps quickened as she heard yelling and jeering. Zeke's scent was getting stronger, which meant he was probably where the yelling was coming from. "Zeke? Zeke?!" She called as she was now racing down the hallway, heart pounding as fear gripped her. He sounded like he was in trouble.

She reached the door the yelling was coming from, and tried opening the door, but to no avail. "ZEKE!" She cried as she pounded on the door. Trying the push it open revealed that something was blocking the door. Growling in anger, she slammed her shoulder against it. Nothing.

'Damn it!' She needed to get into that room!

Backing up about fifteen feet, she transformed into her hybrid form, a 7 ft 5 dog with wings, hawk feet for her back paws, and a tip of a beak showing through her muzzle.

Snarling, she glared at the door. Her paws pounded against the tile floor and she came barreling into the door. The force of her much larger form ramming into the door at such a high speed caused it to cave in, sending the blockades flying as she came skidding into the room. The teenager growled menacingly, prepared to face whoever was harming Zekigne, but froze as she saw one of the students who she assumed was a bully with an arm missing and the other arm on fire. Zeke's eyes were red, and glowing.

"Wh- what the hell?! "

Ozaki had been made to stay late at work today for some senseless infraction his boss had surely made up. He was tired, but that was at this point the default assumption for him. Ozaki really needed to relax. But he was trying to lean off using the sedatives on himself. It was a bad habit to get back into. And one he had to break. Even if it meant avoiding things such as sleeping pills. His talent, Ozaki had to swear sometimes, was the absolutely worst kind in the world for someone like him, prone to addiction as his mind was from time to time.

He was broken out of his thoughts when he saw Ryse turn into a huge dog form. This… Probably had something to do with her other half. Then she charged into a room, blasting through the door. Gripping tight his umbrella, Ozaki hurried through the door himself, the vampire clutching his umbrella and angling it against any potential sunlight as he entered the room.

Upon entering the room he withdrew three darts immediately. He had just walked in, but other than the most recent injuries it was pretty clear that Zeke had been withstanding quite a bit of pain until this. This might be the student he had heard about…

“Stop this at once!” He tried to command in a firm voice, hoping his mere presence might be enough to dissuade the fight from continuing any further. And momentarily forgetting that he himself did not look like faculty whatsoever at his current age, If they proceeded to fight, Ozaki would send a dart both at the angel-devil student and his closest attackers.

He looked to be falling into a demonic rage. Even if he was the victim in this case, he had to be put to sleep for the moment. As someone who had been in Zeke's position before, he knew this was the right call.

Zekigne watched as Ryse burst through the door. However, he had never seen her in her true form. Only her humanoid form. Therefore he merely gave a cruel grin at having an audience. A dark aura was very slowly starting to form around him. Black feathers were pulling out of his back as his wings began to emerge. One of the bullies drew out a long dagger and tried to attack him with it. Zekigne threw his hand out, turning the dagger to dust as it touched his hand and grabbed his arm. He raised his other hand, his fingers sharpening into talons as he thrust his hand into the bully’s chest. “Who’s the weakling now bitch?” He threw the bully onto the wall just when the faculty member arrived. Zekigne nor the bullies recognized him as such however, only seeing him as just another individual. When the staff member sent a tranquilizer dart flying over to Zekigne he twisted his body out of the way just in time to dodge the missile. He glared at the man who did that. “You’re going to regret that,” he said, his voice starting to gain a more deeper, darker and more supernatural state.

The bullies tried to attack him from behind when his attention was on someone else, thrusting a blade into his shoulder. The half breed roared in fury, engulfing himself and his victims in dark red hellfire. Causing them to scream in agony as they jumped off. They tried to put the fire out, but no matter what they did the dark flames would not let go of their new victims. Zekigne’s wings continued to grow until they were fully released, taking up much space before folding up. Zekigne turned to his tormenters, his eyes flashing. “I’ll finish you off in a moment.” Then he turned his dark gaze to Ryse and the staff member, his other hand turning into talons as a sadistic grin grew on his face.

"I.... don't think they're listening to you, Mr. Ozaki." Ryse said, her voice shaky with fear. She'd never seen Zekigne like this before; usually he was a scared boy. But now? Now he was something else entirely.

He'd taken care of the bullies rather easily, and in a brutal fashion that she'd only seen from the Blood Devils. But... Zekigne wasn't a blood devil, was he? She would've recognized the scent, and devils typically didn't have feathery wings. Black ones that were shadowy at that. He could summon hellfire, though, which was something Nyx could do. Was he a demon, then? A fallen angel?

She glanced uneasily at the vampire standing next to her, spreading her own wings as she prepared to either fight or flee. The way Zeke was looking at them both, that cruel smile, made the fur on her spine stand up and chills to run down her body. He may have been in trouble before, but it seemed like they were the ones in trouble. Even though she was afraid, her ears laid back against her head and her lips curled into a snarl, a low growl rumbling in her chest. "I'm warning you right now! Don't come any closer!" She snarled. "I'm not afraid to hurt you if you do!"

Damn it. Even so. He couldn’t stop now. What the hell was it with bullies and thinking it was a good idea to pick on species prone to berserk rages? Granted… They would not have known this boy was one of those species. Ozaki pulled out another few darts. He was hesitant to even hit the bullies right now, given that if he hit them then they’d just go down like rocks and be torched there.

He could not risk getting close to Zeke either with those flames… You know he really should get some flame proof armor or clothing. That almost felt excessive just to bring to work… But with as many species as there were in this school, and as many talents that were deviated toward spontaneous combustion… It’d be a good idea.

“We’re not here to fight you. Only if we have to. Calm down. We can settle this civilly.” Ozaki would once more wait to see if Zeke continued his assault, and only then launched his darts, these ones having been altered to actually knock him out this time. Being sedated and awake wouldn’t be enough with the half demon-half angel in this state. ”Well… Kind of civilly.” Zeke had already killed a few of the bullies after all. “Just calm down.”

The nephalem heard Ryse’s words and simply laughed. “Back off puppy, before you get put down. Go sit in the corner like a good dog.” This feeling rushing through his veins… This overwhelming sense of power over others… It felt, good. It felt so good to get the hate that built up in him day after day out. The pain of being humiliated by others, in public no less. The frustration of having to hide day in and day out. The annoyance of having to worry about the safety of others over his own. The raw wrath that he felt on a daily basis… It felt good to be consumed by it. To get some payback at last. When Ozaki spoke again it snapped Zekigne out of his trance. He smiled and took a step forward. The ground below him turning a shade darker. “Who says I’m not calm?” He took another step, and the ground around him grew even darker. “Who are you to determine what state I am in?” He stepped forward again, and this time dark strands of corruption started crawling their way away from Zekigne, darkening anything it touched.

His eyes flashed. “Of course, I suppose I do have reason to hate you. You all were supposed to teach me how to use these powers of mine, but all you’ve done is watched me. Aiming at me like a wild animal. Well guess what? This animal’s on the top of the food chain.” And like that he sent a torrent of hellfire in both of their directions. Zekigne laughed maniacally as his wings stretched out as a show of power. The hellfire still covered his body, instantly incinerating all darts coming his way. He wasn’t about to let them put him down and subdue him. Not after he’d finally accepted his nature. Not after he’d accepted who he was. NEVER!!!

"Oh yeah?" She shot back, taking a step backwards as the ground darkened, and the boy took a step closer. "What about our friendship? Does that mean nothing to you?!"

Did he really think she was nothing more than that? A dog? What about all the times they talked? The things she showed him? She'd thought the boy had been opening up to her a bit. But it looked like she was wrong. She didn't know him at all.

Her heart pounded in her chest, and she grabbed the back of Ozaki's shirt as the torrent of hellfire came in their direction, picking him up and carrying him away from the danger. She felt heat, and smelled singed fur but otherwise she was alright.

Looking at the vampire, checking over him to make sure he was alright, she pushed him towards the door with her muzzle. Then turned her gaze back to Zekigne who was still advancing on them. She wasn't about to go sit in a corner like a "good dog". She wasn't about to roll over and show her belly to him. Being called a dog stung. But she wasn't an ordinary dog. She was much more than that.

Baring her fangs, she flared her wings. Took a step forward.

And turned invisible.

Racing towards him on silent paws and talons, as only church grim could, Ryse circled around Zekigne to the left and leapt at him. Since she was larger than most humans, a large animal suddenly barreling into them would probably knock them down. Which was what she was aiming for. Savagely sinking her jaws into his right shoulder, sharp teeth and the tip of a beak would bury into his skin while talons and claws scratched at him. Growling, she would shake her head, shaking him viciously like he was a ragdoll. The hellfire burned, but she ignored the pain, continuing her attacks as she herself burst into flame, dropping the invisibility cloaked around her. Hellfire versus phoenix fire.

She had told him she wasn't afraid to hurt him if he continued moving towards them. And she didn't lie very often. Right now, until he stopped attacking them or gave up, she would do so.

Ozaki wasn’t even a teacher. But he knew that wasn’t the point. The school had failed him. He had been pushed into this state and the school had done nothing to stop it. Ozaki was about to doge himself when he was literally grabbed by the giant church grim that was Ryse right now and gotten out of the way.

Ozaki could be reckless at times. But even he knew that if someone with phoenix fire was about to go into battle and he did not have every inch of skin covered, it was time to get the hell out of dodge. He was out of the room and out of the bright light in good timing to avoid Ryse lighting up. The light of the two’s combat blazed out of the door, but he was away from its rays at least.

It would be better to get someone who would actually be able to do something about those flames now. “We need some Huntsman Faculty in there right now to stop a fight!” He shouted, trying to gather their attention.

~~~~
Antonio had been following Yuuki from a respectable distance when suddenly a little girl turned into a giant black dog and bust through a closed door. Where Yuuki had been walking before, he was now booking it at a reckless pace. It was only by holding the umbrella close to his body and head that he was avoiding it being blown away from the speed of his passage.

The vampire himself had similar protection from the sun. He could pull a similar maneuver, but he wasn’t nearly as fast as Yuuki, and so it took him a bit to catch up.

He managed to catch up just in time to see Yuuki run out of the room, making a rapid swing away from the frame of the door. Seconds later the door blazed with the light of phoenix fire. He’d only managed to get out just in time.

When Antonio finally reached Yuuki he grabbed him by the arm and started pulling him away from the room at a speedy pace. “What the hell Yuuki. Did you really just run into a room with a demon and a phoenix duking it out?! Why?!?"

Zekigne paused for a moment but not because he was realizing what he’d been doing. No, it was due to the fact that the grim and bird hybrid was claiming that they were friends. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes as he tilted his head. “I’d remember befriending a lowly dog. And I do not recall you.” He watched as she dodged the hellfire and pushed the faculty member outside. He was going to chase after her but she went ahead and came right back in, clearly ready to attack. She was choosing to challenge him, which was not a wise idea. Not in the slightest. The nephalem still bathing in hellfire grinned as he saw her defiance, and prepared to thrash her. As much as he enjoyed watching them fall to dust, he couldn’t overdo it or else run the risk of not having a suitable amount of energy to fight them both with. Before he could do anything however, she stepped forward and turned invisible.

Zekigne’s eyes narrowed and mentally cursed. He didn’t have the skill (nor knowledge) to see into the spiritual realm just yet. He couldn’t see her no matter how badly he wanted to. He didn’t move, and instead looked for any signs or sounds of her movement. Unfortunately she was naturally skilled in the art of stealth and thus was able to succeed in her surprise attack. Zekigne felt a mass running into him, forcing him to the ground. Roaring in both shock and fury he tried to shake it off but she immediately bit down hard on his shoulder before he could recover. What she did next filled him with unspeakable wrath. His wings folded in on her head and neck as if to suffocate her. He felt her fire engulf him and his talons latched onto her neck, sinking deep inside. At the same time he forced his shoulder to become disfigured, his skin turning course to loosen her grip so he could escape. When it was, he would roar, increasing the output of his hellfire and clawing down at her neck and shoulder. A very ghastly wound indeed.

Once he was finally free of her jaws he would begin to wrestle with the beast. Channeling the power of hellfire in his hands, increasing his physical strength and eldrich power, sending blow for blow. If he succeeded in striking her, she would be sent through the wall into the hallway where Ozaki was.

She growled again as she continued biting him. Ryse didn’t want to kill him, just make him stop. If he would only stop attacking them, she would let him go. But her assault was cut off as she suddenly felt sharp talons sink deep into her neck. Before she could yelp in pain, her grip was loosened as Zeke tore away from her, and she felt hellfire engulf her. The flames ate away at her fur, burning it away before moving to her skin. Her screams echoed around the room, before turning into a gargle as Zekigne’s claws raked through her neck and shoulder.

She choked, gasping, struggling to breathe as the world spun in front of her eyes, and she stumbled on her paws, nearly about to fall over. As such, she wasn’t at all prepared for the swift succession of attacks that hit her next.

The nephalem’s final hit sent her flying, crashing through the wall out into the hallway. Her own fire had died out long ago, when Zeke’s hellfire had engulfed her. Now she lay on the ground, wheezing. Her fur was gone in large patches, and the skin showing was as black as the fur that had once been there. Her wings were nothing but tatters now; the little amount of feathers that was left being destroyed. The hellfire continued to burn even though she’d been thrown through the wall. The eerie scream coming from her throat didn’t sound like anything an animal or human would make. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but were quickly evaporated by the heat of the fire.

The burn she’d felt when the cube had exploded in the lab when she and Ozaki were testing different properties was nothing compared to this. It felt like someone had poured hot tar all over her body and lit it aflame. She had made a mistake attacking Zekigne.

She’d made a terrible. Terrible mistake.

Ozaki had started hurrying on down the hallway himself next to Antonio. He himself realized the fight might go out into the hallway, and if they were there when phoenix fire started flying that would be very bad. Her earth shattering scream, however, made Ozaki turn around. She was utterly engulfed in hellfire right now.

He stopped running, a hand going to one of his wrists. Then was bodily picked up by Antonio, who was now booking it with Yuuki hefted over his shoulder. “There’s nothing you can do!” Soon the demon would be out and while Antonio himself with his greater combat experience might stand a chance… Fire was too great of a risk. And with nothing but an umbrella stopping the sunlight from outside the windows from hitting them, he was not in a prime location to fight.

"Put me down!" There was something, but Ozaki was realizing that perhaps continuing to run was the right call... But damn it all if he was going to be carried out like some baby bat by someone who wasn't part of his flock.

He had to focus on getting him and Yuuki out of here. “Why the hell were you even out this late in the day?!” There was one place that Antonio could not yet follow Ozaki into, and that was the inventory warehouse. Usually if Yuuki was here this late it was either a Nyx related thing or he was research something in the library. Neither of those had been the case today. And now there was a demon and phoenix fight that Yuuki just had to butt into for some reason. He was almost as bad as Mordred.

Zekigne slowly stepped out of the classroom and tilted his head. The sound of his neck bones popping could be heard before he placed his hand on his shoulder. It was very clear that the wound was extremely painful to the hybrid, but what may have surprised them was his act of burning his shoulder with hellfire, which also appeared to hurt him. Afterwards he stood over the Grim Phoenix hybrid, his eyes narrowed. He was pissed off. “That was a stupid thing to do little doggy.” He knelt down in front of her, his wings blocking out her view, as well as other’s view of Ryse. “The thought did cross my mind to prolong your suffering by making you my loyal servant… But no.” His hand sharpened, almost turning into a blade. “You’ve pissed me off. How dare you claim that we were friends. And how dare you think yourself better than me… But before I deal with you.” His wings unfolded for a second as he turned his gaze to Ozaki and his rescuer. His gaze would show malice and hatred towards the man. “Your next.”

And with that.

Zekigne thrust his hand into Ryse’s heart.

The world was nothing but a blur at this point. She was struggling to stay conscious, her screams fading away into a faint whimper.

At the sight of Zekigne standing in front of her, she twitched, trying to move. To escape. But she couldn't. Even keeping her eyes open was a monumental task. All she could do was just lay there in agony, wheezing for breath. He knelt in front of her, and his words reached her ears, her brain struggling to register what he was saying.

Then he stabbed her in the heart.

"Z-zeke.... why..." She rasped, tears rolling down her cheeks.

The world was quickly fading from her vision. She couldn't hear anymore, and within a few moments the world turned completely black. Ryse fell still, and her eyes closed. Her heart shuddered, then stopped beating entirely.

After a few moments, her body began to glow, enveloping her. A warm golden light that lit up the hallway until it became almost blinding. When it finally faded away, all that was left was a single egg. An egg that was smoky grey, with orange swirling around the sides.

Ryse Azar was dead.

With the umbrella blocking both the light and his line of sight, he did not ultimately see Ryse’s end, but he heard her blood curling screams stop. Then the flash of light And knew that all that would be left right now was an egg… Hopefully.

You know what was the worst? He had training as a master huntsman. He had his darts, he knew how to fight. Yet… All too often something like this would happen. Ozaki was never strong enough to truly protect himself when it mattered, never mind someone else. Even as strong and as fast as this body was, it was riddled with flaws and weaknesses.

He wished he was stronger. Strong enough to save people when it really mattered. Strong enough to rip apart those he wished death upon.

Calm down Ozaki. She’s a phoenix. She’ll be reborn.
