Eddie fires a beam of ice alongside the thunderbird firing a bolts of lightning from its beak, Lillian holds up her left hand, firing a gust of black fire to block the ice beam but is then hit by the bolts of lightning from the thunderbird. She grunts in pain as they hit her back, her body trembling from the electric shock.
Lillian: Damn it...
Eddie: Aww. That demon juice not working out for ya, huh?
Lillian: [She grits her teeth, her body still spasming from the lightning. She's struggling to stay standing, but she refuses to let him see her weak.] You wish. I'm just getting warmed up. [She lets out a low guttural growl, the anger and determination fueling her body.] You think a little lightning and ice is going to take me down? I'm a child of the devil, fool.
Eddie: ...No you not. You just a unlucky human with the blood of some random demon. You nothing special. [He extends his left palm.]
Lillian: [She looks at him her eyes narrowing, insulted by his words.] You'd be surprised what a random demon can do. I'm more powerful than you can imagine.
Eddie fires a beam of ice that she quickly deflects with a swung palm as her powers responds to her anger. Black flames surround her as she counters his attack, her expression fierce and determined.
Lillian: [She lets out another guttural growl, her voice taking on a deeper and more demonic tone.] You have no idea what I'm capable of.
The thunderbird makes another monstrous roar with its eyes emitting bright blueish light before firing a concentrated bolt of lightning that she tries to dodge but fails because of her weary body being too slow to react. The bolt hits her in the chest, sending her backward to the ground before the thunderbird disappears and Eddie walks up to her getting on her knees with weak pants of breath as he has his rod in hand.
Eddie: "No idea what I'm capable of.." Ha! Look at you now.
Lillian looks up at Eddie with hatred and anger in her eyes. She still has the strength and will to fight, but her body betrays her, weakened from all the attacks she's taken. She tries to say something but coughs heavily instead, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Eddie: Any last words?
Lillian: [She glares at him, her voice raw and weak but still defiant.] Go to hell.
Eddie raises the rod with both hands ready to stab her with it before tge exorcist arrives into the area firing a blast of light at Craig; sending him flying away into a pillar, surprising Lillian by his sudden appearance and intervene.
Exorcist: Lillian... When I asked if you'd be fine alone here, I wasn't expecting you to be here getting beaten. [Looks at her irritated.]
Lillian: [She can't help but chuckle weakly at his words, though it quickly turns into a cough.] Yeah... I wasn't expecting to be pummelled either. I thought I could handle myself, but this guy's a lot stronger than he looks.
Exorcist: Hmm... [He looks at Eddie.] Who are you and why are you here?
Eddie: That's none of your business, gifted one.
Exorcist: ...Hm... Have it your way. [He dashes in for a strike at a blurry speed and ends up hitting a fake decoy of the man before it vanishes into thin air.] ...
Lillian: [She watches in disbelief as Eddie suddenly vanishes right before Satoshi's attack would have hit him.] How... how did he do that?
Exorcist: Hmm... He's a sorcerer. [he walks up to her and helps her up to her feet.]
Lillian: [She grunts in pain as he helps her to her feet. She's still weak from the fight, her body trembling and aching from the injuries she's sustained. She leans against him for support, trying to catch her breath.] A sorcerer...? That would explain his powers.
Exorcist: Right. [His hands glow in yellow as he pulls the daggers out of her shoulder and backcand heals her body whole.]
Lillian lets out a gasp of relief as he pulls the daggers out of her, followed by another gasp as she feels the healing energy of his hands. Her body immediately begins to feel better, the pain subsiding and the exhaustion fading away.
Exorcist: I sealed off the car parking entrance however something came up. We have to go to Kiyoshi's location quick.
Lillian: [She leans heavily on Satoshi, still regaining her strength. She nods in agreement, her mind still reeling from the fight.] What? But... the plan...
Exorcist: The plan has changed Lillian. Head to the fourth floor. I'll seal this floor's entrance.
Lillian: I... [Before she could say anything they both hear a loud high sharp pitched scream of a bird inside the building.
Exorcist: Sounds like it came from inside. [He pats her back.] Getting going now.
Lillian: W-What about you and your headaches?
Exorcist: Headaches? Do I look like I have a headache still?
Lillian Change of plans, Seal the entrance fast, he heading to Kiyoshi's entrance.
Lillian shakes her head before heading towards the staircase that leads to different floors of the building before seeing a bright light flaring from down below where the car parking is. She ponders whats happening down there before snapping out of it and down to the second floor with the stairs to help Kiyoshi.
Alone in the fourth floor entrance of the building, The exorcist looks around making sure he's alone before chuckling and then hearing a male with a raspy tone speak out to him.
"Not bad... Mephisto."
Exorcist: !!? [He grins widely before around towards the entrance door to see A young man with long black hair tied back and piercing red eyes. He wears a black and red jinbaori over a traditional samurai armor, he has a subtle smirk playing on his lips. The exorcist eyes change into sharp red glowing eyes as his entire appearance changes fluidly into a 198cm tall Demon man with long white hair and red bent back horns, has pale skin with red markings and wears a red robe with white pants and is barefooted.] Kato! You look... Slightly different then before.
Kato: That's because I'm not Osoroshi.
Mephisto: Oh...! Who are you then? Henry Lockhart? John Evans? Erik Midnight?
Kato: Logan Lehmann...
Mephisto: Oh? Never heard of you before...
Kato: I know... You would be shivering in your pants if you did.
Mephisto: [chuckles] What makes you say that? No! Wait, let me guess... it's because you can destroy galaxies and timelines? [Laughs] Hate to break it to you Log-man but every Kato is capable of that.
Kato: You wrong. There are a special few that can do that. Only a few. The rest... Are just mindless sheep following wannabe gods. What makes me different from the rest is my power to absorb and manipulate various types of energies
Mephisto: Hmm... Okay? Why are you here?
Kato: I'm here to give you the chance to be greater... To be better, to be... A ruler.
Mephisto: Do I look like an idiot to you? You just wanna use me.
Kato: No. I... NEED someone by my side. Someone with your powers. I can't control the power alone, but you... with your regenerative factor can.
Mephisto: What power?
Kato: Power over all Realities.
