As she seemed to be looking at Hazama only, a figure with flowing blond hair but clad in red jumped from the shadows, and takes a slash at her with a glowing weapon resembling that of a sword.

In the distance, a girl with short hair was watching with obvious joy. Her spear was stabbed in the ground, and she was laying down, being very attentive. There was a patch of dirt next to her, seemingly for no reason. She was betting on the busty witch girl winning, but then Zero decided to interrupt the fight, so she was a bit surprised. She made a pouty face as she gripped her spear. "Hmm, who's ruining the show? Their fault they did it at the wrong time...I wish I could get up from this position." she muttered. Her voice was very shrill and half-gown. After her complaint of her lazy nature, the patch of dirt next to her deformed and out came her "servants". They were soldiers who clearly had seen better days. Rusty armor and rusty weapons, and they're also undead. Wonderful. She simply glanced at the one that appeared next to her, "Oh, great, you're here. Would you mind carrying me closer to...there?" She asked, and took a second to pinpoint exactly where they needed to take her and they did as promised, even taking her spear with them.

Noticing the fight from a distance, the lady runs into action, stopping to the right of Hazama, eyeing him from a short distance while muttering to herself. Identification complete. 97.56% chance of "Hazama"... Her eyes flash as she looks at him, before her face turns to a smile. Need any assistance, sir?

Zero lands on the ground, Z-saber in hand, waiting for Nines to eventually fall down

Nine smirks to herself, good thing that idiot snake backed off for a moment otherwise... Best not to think about. The witch snaps her fingers and suddenly a wave of magic can be felt across the whole area, Nine herself floating higher into the air lazily, as electric energy gathers around her hands. "So then Hazama, looks like those cute little spells aren't working any longer hmm? Now that I'm not being held back... Well, maybe if you all get down and beg I might not kill some of you? However I can't say I'm feeling very kind after being forced to serve you for so long." As Zero leaps into the air with his blade suddenly the on lightning on her left hand leaps off, flying right towards the airborne hunk of metal as the witch chuckles to herself and floats higher up, such an obvious attack won't work at this point. The rest of her magic on the other hand spreads out more, going out in two smaller bolts towards Hazama and the white haired woman. "I AM NINE OF THE TEN SAGES, AND I'LL DESTROY ANYONE WHO TRIES TO BEND ME TO THEIR WILL!"

"TCH!" The lightning hit him, but didn't deactivate him. He then tries to throw some saber beams at her, heading towards her fast.

Somewhere,not that far from the area, a voice can be heard..... Geno..... Whirl! Suddenly, Geno jumps our from hiding and attempts to blast the woman with a disc-like laser made of star energy.

From somewhere off in the distant shadows yellow eyes and a wide smile are gleaming as they watch the situation unfold. It seems a feline of some sort is watching the scene with great intrest as they determine whether or not to take action. They're particularly piqued by the mention of killing as if being haunted by a dark premonition. How unusual to see such a grand spectacle but perhaps this is already escalating to a point in which I may have to intervene. I don't wish to but if the lives of others at stake perhaps I may need to step in to impede this monsters rageful path.

*A blonde haired man on a horse can be seen riding in the distance until he stops and looks the fight* "This looks like a fight fit for Diego Brando himself. Come on Silver Bullet, let's go!" *The two ride towards Hazama and the others*

Hazama turned to the new face, his head turning curiously. Who're...No. Nevermind, not too important. Yeah, I could use a hand. Having some uh... He pokes his head out from the corner just in time to see the lightning, and launches himself upward with Ouroboros and lands atop one of the surrounding buldings. ...trouble. The man sees the people approaching the area. Seems the battle was a big enough deal to cause the hero types to show up, fine by him. He turns his gave to Nine, a smile spreading across his face. Okay, Miss Mercury! The fun is just beginning! Restriction #666 Released! Dimensional Interference Field, Deployed! Code SOL. BlazBlue, activate! The usual green ring appears in the air around him, it'd probably be best for even his allies to stay away. He launches himself toward Nine, before throwing the chain downward at the last moment in an attempt to fake her out. He zips toward the ground, and as he's falling he throws a dagger upward, toward the magician.

As Wrynla and her servant gets to the scene, her servant gets figuratively blown away by the lightning bolts and her...warcry? Whatever, she made 4 more soldiers emerge from the ground to protect her in case the busty sage lady directs lightning towards her. "It was their fault trying to help him. I would've been fine with him losing." she then stabbed her spear into the ground, and laid back down. She then giggled at everyone's attempt to shove their nosy selves into this fight, "Wow, you guys don't listen, do you?" her taunting from afar sounded as if she was a certified child. "It's quite obvious that they did fine on her own, but you guys just take the cake for stupid bravery. Congrats! I didn't know that was possible!" As the fight continued, she was awed by Hazama's "blazblue" as if it was the 4th of July. Though, she snapped out of her trance because she thought he could've done something more flashy instead of fake-out, but gave him the benefit of the doubt by having her soldiers carry her a bit farther away from the fight.

Nine sighs as the sword beams rush at her, a shimmer mirror bursting forth and sending the projectiles back towards Zero. Geno's attack however is a bit more effective as he rushes her from behind. In spite of striking the witch dead on however the attacks do little more than annoy her. "Tch, dammed pests trying to use teamwork to best me hmm? More than one can play at that game kids. NAVY PRESSURE!" As Nine takes cover behind the mirror to evade White's shots a fist shoots down from the sky, some demon aiming to try and smash the woman shooting at Nine before trying to grab onto her and squeeze. "Now then..." The witch's words are cut short as Hazama rushes towards her, a jet of flame flies for the man as he blasts through the air... And misses thanks to him moving downwards, Nine curses as the knife flies into her leg, quickly ripping it out and tossing the thing aside with a grimace. "Sticks and stones might break normal people but it takes more then that to kill one of The Six Heros Hazama-chan! Now then anyone else going to join this and make me get really serious here?"

*As he approaches the group, it appears that his face is cracked a little and he has a blue dinosaur tail with the words "DIO" on them* *The man jumps off of his horse* "Do you guys mind if I help?"

As geno lands swiftly on the floor, he soon realizes his attacks did little more than tickle, maybe even less. Hmm.... Star gun! Suddenly,as if almost ripping off another game series, his arm turns into something similar to a gun, and starts shooting out small stars at amazing speeds, straight at the woman.

"Sure!" Zero deflects both of the beams to the side. "This witch really is harder to take down than I thought!" He gets out his buster shot and shoots three plasma bolts, before shooting a charged shot

Thanks to her straifing, the lady is able to dodge the bullets sent back at her by the mirror. Seeing the fist coming towards her, she quickly rolls to dodge before stopping her straifing of Nine to back hand the fist and unload a large amount of bullets into it. Not the first time this type if attack has been used on me... I guess I should be greatful for that. She keeps her attention on both Nine and the fist, now holding a shining blue card in her hand.

Zero, seeing that the fist is doing some problems, proceeds to cut it in half before continuing giving fire to Nines

Hazama throws his arms out to the side, and laughs at Nine as he lands on the ground. Finally found your voice, I see. Wonderful, all the better that I get to hear you scream! Wait until the colonel shows up! Hungry Coils! He throws Ouroboros upward towards Nine, if it connects then he'll yank on it and slam her into the ground, hurting her and making it very easy for others to follow up.

*The man whistles* "Serve you master, my minions!" *Four green dinosaurs all different sizes charge at Nine and try to slash at her*

Nine flies off to the right, darting behind a building to evade Geno's and Zero's attacks... And perhaps do something else. "Tch so you want to play with BlazBlue hmm Hazama? Guess I'll have to get serious after all." As it turns out the false Cauldron she had created happened to be stored back here. The woman smiles to herself grimly as magic rushes down into it, whatever you might call it the power of The Boundary gathers up before flowing into Nine, an aura of red covers her whole body as she darts back out once again. This time anyone who could sense magic would feel an overwhelming amount of power running off Nine, akin to a raging storm as the woman's raw hate mixes with the sheer power of The Azure. "CONGRATS EVERYONE, I'M NOT PLAYING GAMES ANYMORE SO YOU SHOULD FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELVES!" As the witch shouts bullets fly into the demon's arm, it vanishes for a moment but it's not going to be gone for long. Nine herself on the other hand simply glares at Hazama as the chains fly at her, they do indeed grab on... However the woman herself strains against it, being pulled down slightly and slowed but not quite crashing. As she does so a series of meteors flies up into the sky. Crashing down all across the field as she smirks, hopefully Hazama will be too stunned to keep his hold. The dinosaurs on the other hand can't quite reach her this high in the air, perhaps with a way to launch them?

Tch, bitch! Hazama dissolves Ouroboros and books it to the right, swinging upward as he does. He doesn't entirely avoid the peppering of meteors, but some minor burns are better than being crushed. Wow, you really DID recreate the boundary, or at least mimic it! You must really be nuts, and that's coming from me. Then again, no surprise considering what you did during the dark war. This is like that little toy you made before, the "Red Grimoire" I think it was called? Whatever, all the better for me! Nine's hatred, the azure...or something similar being in such close proximity. This was too perfect. Hazama was now almost as strong as he was when he and Terumi were fused, though not quite.

Noticing his attacks are easily being dodged or barely doing any damage at all, Geno decides to go for a different strategy, aerial attacks. After doing a few boulders, he hops into one and jumps high into the air. He once more charges up star energy. Geno..... Beam! He fires a bright beam at blinding speeds straight at nine.

"She...seems like to be powering up!" Zero yells, "So much for a human maverick..." He then decides to get serious, jumps up, having a orange/pink overwhelming aura swirl around him, his saber extends to rather a size of a one story building, "Ittouryudan!" the blade swells, as he spins in the air before launching two gigantic saber beams, both flowing with untammed power. "Genmurei!" The saber beams approach Nines fast, and she's unable to dodge them, nor block, nor reflect. "THIS IS IT!" Unless she can teleport out?

The lady's head jolts towards Nine, evaluating her spike in magic power. This... All right. Hemera! She crushes the card in her hand, and a blue light swirls around her from it, before forming into a large arthropod with large blocky ends to its legs and a sun pattern on its back. As it appears, it smashes one of its legs down onto the demon, attempting more to keep it from moving rather than harming it. It also releases a blue light from itself as it appears, coating her allies in a protective shield. Finally, it points one of its legs towards Nine herself. Hemera, Riot Gun! From the leg, an opening in the bottom begins to spray a sea of bullets towards Nine.

"Get back over here!" *The dinosaurs run back to Diego* "Now, let's do this." *Diego grabs the smallest dinosaur, throws it into the air, and hits it towards Nine with his tail*

"Oh I'm crazy am I?! For wanting to see a fucking end to this endless nightmare? No Hazama, I'm one the few sane people that exists thank you very much..." As the woman speaks a beam of light flies into her side, sending Nine crashing down to the ground as she stands with a groan, in spite of clearly being hurt this time she's still not hurt badly, the good thing being it tosses her away from the dino. Zero's beams however are a bit stronger and being on the ground makes them a tad hard to evade, energy blasts slam into the witch as she roars with rage. Standing up with several burn marks across her flesh. "Okay, okay fine. I won't be able to win on my own... So then no sense trying when I have other options!" As white's bullets fly towards the woman suddenly she teleports to the Cauldron, this time rather then the power gathering into Nine herself it seems to flow all around the area, an outline of something made from flames flashes in front of the group for a moment. Before finally taking form as a giant of pure fire that glares down at the whole group. "COME AND LAY WASTE TO THEM ALL ALL! HI NO KAGUTSUCHI!" As Nine appears on top of the demon's head suddenly it's mouth opens up, a huge beam gather from both her hands and the beast's mouth. Energy sweeps across the whole field and crashes towards the members of the group.

"...what? how?..." A moment has passed, and Wrynla already fell asleep. Even a battle like this made her bored. Her soldiers went back into the ground, but she was in her original spot from before everyone interrupted the fight, good thing her spear's still there. "All of you get back here right now or else-" Her complaints were met with the overflowing amount of energy coming from Nine, and the sight of the energy taking over the area where she once was. "That was so pretty..." she muttered. Then came her soldiers. Though, she was in a trance, so they went back down.

Hazama swings above the beam in hopes of dodging, but didn't expect the sweep and was picked out of the sky. He is sent flying, and lands hard on his face. However, he picks himself up with one hand, and holds his hat in place on his head. Damn, where are you colonel?

"TCH!" He looks surprised at the sudden demon head that appeared and starts raining down a giant beam, "Gotta dodge it!" he rolls to the left, hopefully dodging it

*Diego tries to run away from the blast but he and his other dinosaurs are sent flying* "Ahhhh!"

......shoot. Geno gets knocked back and serious damage is done to him, but he's still kicking. Even more ready than before, he turns into a cannon and begins to charge up a ton of star energy. Geno...... FLASH! BOOM! A gigantic ball of star energy flies straight at the beast. If it's not dodged, major damage will be done.

*Death watch the battle, he knew that this was not his battle. The only reason why hes here is to make sure the corruption did not spread yet*

A blue haired boy can be seen running towards the battlefield. Okay, let's see...YOU! Greenie! I think i'll be fighting on your side! That okay with you?

OOC: At this point I'll assume that Forgot-Me-Not isn't able to post any longer. Nine grins to herself as she leaps off the demon, taking into the air to glare down at them. Her monster on the other hand takes Zero's beam head on and screams with rage, quickly lashing out with both it's fists in a flurry of punches aimed at all before them. "STARTING TO SEE WHY YOU SHOULDN'T ANGER ME HAZAMA!? OR PERHAPS WE NEED TO SHOW YOU A BIT MORE!" Rather then attempt to attack the whole group like her demon Nine warps right towards Haz, a quick blast of flames to the man's feet hopefully sending him tumbling down as she conjures up an explosive orb of energy that would send him flying backwards if it hits. And finally she'd stomp on the ground near him causing a series of burning blades to rise up attempting to impale the man upon them. "Now then Hazama, perhaps you'd like to beg for mercy or something? Not like I'd give you any of course but it would be amusing, so please do show us all how pitiful you can be! Considering what you've done it's the least I could get in return right?" The ball of energy however would be easily dodged... By Nine, her demon on the other hand lumbering giant it is takes the shot right to it's chest, combine with the damage from Zero's attack it's starting to slow down a bit at this point.

"HYAAAAAAAH!" Zero jumps to the air and but his saber is charging, once he gets down, he slashes with all of his might the demon, in hopes of bisecting it

Hey, don't forget me! While Zero slashes one direction, Arkade runs up to the demon and slashes in the other direction, making a cross.

Hazama would be caught off guard by the first hit, but he bounces to the right before the ball can hit him. Not so fast little lady, have some of this! He reaches forward and slashes at her with his knife, if the hit would connect he would throw her into the air by attaching Ouroboros to her, and slashing upward, green energy rising from the ground and slashing at her as she comes falling back down.

*Diego gets up, uses one of his dinosaurs to fling him up to the demon, and rapidly slashes it with his claws under his gloves making an X to go with the cross* "Make that three!"

The Judge's attention shift to the Knight of Pancakes/ Even from a distance and throw the darkness he recognizes that same care-free nature anywhere. A loud purring begins as the judge keeps his eyes fixated on this new point of intrigue. The naive but kindhearted fool? This is not a good dwelling for his leisure. What could he be doing here?

The demon roars in pain, unable to keep it's form on the mortal coil any longer under the combined attack of repeatedly hitting it very hard. Being made of flames the thing's body breaks apart and rushes across the field trying to leave a pile of ashes in it's wake before vanishing for good into a portal of some kind, although the beast does avoid Nine and by extension Hazama... Or it would, however the thing's eyes gleam brightly with red from whatever hell it calls home as a portal opens above PK's head, quickly slamming it's fists down onto PK in a needlessly brutal final attack on a non combatant. "Gah shit, so then I guess it's coming down to this huh?" Hazama's blade slams into Nine, the chains knocking her into the air as she groans slightly. In spite of her vast magical powers the witch is still just a human in some ways, regardless however she does warp out of the way of the energy blast. Panting with effort as a seed forms in her hand, tree branches quickly slamming at his feet as a rock forms above the man's head and slams down towards him. Nine on the other hand simply attempts to run for the Cauldron, some final ploy in mind as she does so.

"What the..." he sees PK get slammed, "NOO! damn it!" Zero pulls out an extra Z-saber that has smaller blades, but on both ends of it. He spins it, till it is blindly spinning and then he throws it at the demon, boomeranging back as soon as it hit him.

The fist slams onto the un-advised knight as he gets smothered by the force, being completely driven into the ground, when he finally gets up he's as flat as well, a pancake, hobbling and wibbling around Gah! How could this happen! I've become a pancake! Hopefully nobody eats me! PK then flips his way out of the street, disappearing into... Well somewhere

Oh you little....I'm going to enjoy this. He then throws a myriad of knives in Nine's direction, then runs in her direction.

I don't think so! Hazama launches the Ouroboros at Nine, if it connects he would drag her back and pin her to the ground with his foot, or at least try to.

*Diego stylishly lands on the ground* "Wryyy..." *He starts sprinting at a high speed towards Nine's direction*

Nine laughs as she once more warps out of the way, at this range evading their attacks on the way to the Cauldron isn't much of an issue for her. "HAH YOU'LL HAVE TO DO BETTER THEN THAT, NOW I THINK IT'S TIME FOR MY LAST RESORT!" As she reaches her destination... Nine sees someone she very much hoped wouldn't show up, normally taking him on wouldn't be impossible but here and now? This is very bad, regardless a blast of flames flies towards the man and meteors rain down upon him. "God dammit Relius, Not a chance in hell I'm letting you get a hold of me again... CRIMSON RAIDER!" The woman attempts to dash at Relius and his doll in a blur of flames, sadly for her Ignis attempt to grab hold of her is successful, the attack having been timed that she simply walked into it. Nine might begin screaming for help if she were someone else... Instead she simply glares at Ignis and Relius.

Waiting at the Calurdron is none other than Colonel Clover himself, a dark smile on the man's face as Ignis stands in front of him, the metal doll staring at Nine with about as much ill intent as an emotionless thing can have... Which is all too much in Ignis case. "Well well Nine, so sorry I couldn't be here sooner but a little project needed finishing that I'm sure you should love! Now then Ign-." Relius is cut off as the flames and meteors launch at him, Ignis taking the first attack head on as she darts right for Nine to latch onto the witch. Relius himself darts forward along with his doll, the fire having been taking for him allows the man to safely reach Nine, he gives her a vicious look as purple energy glows on the hand of Ignis that hold Nine. "PUPPETEER'S ALTAR!" As the glowing energy overtakes Nine and Ignis completely all 3 vanish for a moment, rest assured that she's no threat to anyone at this point. But the exact nature of how shall remain unclear unless one were to be familiar with Relius already. Regardless after a few minutes have passed the man reappers before the group and smiles at them while walking out from the Cauldron. Ignis having been left at his lab. "Good evening to you all, my name is Colonel Relius Clover. Hazama may or may not have mentioned me but suffice to say he and I work together at times. Now then I must say you have my thanks for this help in dealing with Nine! She's a dangerous sort as I'm sure you've seen and I had to prepare to deal with her, so alas I wasn't able to aid you but seems like things went well without me yes?" He looks over the damage done to the part, and the city. Things could have been much worse... Not that Relius would care, but letting them know that wouldn't do now would it. Instead he bows to the group and gives a sincere looking grin of thanks. "Now then, I do believe we're done here for now correct? Or did she leave something needs to be dealt with behind?"

I'd prefer to know what the hell happened back there, Clover.

"Well to sum up Mr? I've detained Nine, as you no doubt saw from the rampant damage she caused with that little pet demon Nine can't really be let to roam freely... I'm truly sorry that she was somehow able to escape and cause this much harm to begin with. But well transfer to The Nexus caused several problems. Including losing an associate of mine, that said I've done some work on things! So she shouldn't be able to cause this city anymore problems. Any other questions?" Relius gives the man before him a clam look, his voice sounding clear and sure as he speaks. Hopefully this man has enough faith in humanity to offer him some trust... If not well, Ignis exists for a reason after all.

No other questions. Well, one more-now what?

"Well, given that Nine is dealt with at this point? I imagine everyone shall depart yes? Unless you have some way to help clean up the mess caused in the city, in which case by all means please do so. I've nothing to help with that sadly so I shall be heading to my lab again soon enough." Relius looks around the blasted and burnt buildings and ground, it really is a shame to see so much damage caused to the place... As a creator in his own right Relius can sympathize with how annoying it is to see your works damage after all.

Hazama breathes deeply, and brushes off his shoulder. He speaks to Relius, while adjusting his tie. Took you long enough, Colonel Relius. Whatever, I assume you can make her...a nonissue from here?

Unfortunately, I have no way to assist in cleaning up this mess. I suppose I will be off now. See you! After the last sentence, Arkade walks back in the direction he came from.

"Oh yes Captain Hazama, I'm sure that I can keep her from hurting anyone else, why in fact maybe she'll even come around to helping people? Anyways be seeing you old friend, I've got urgent business at the lab as usual." And with that Relius snaps his fingers before vanishing in a blur of light, the man going to make sure that everything is in order with Nine of course... That blue haired hero doesn't need to know, and Hazama no doubt got the message. ASTRAL FINISH! (End of thread)

"Well, that's taken care of..." Zero sheaths his Z-saber. he then transports out of the place
