Seath lept into action, he had ignored whatever Desiree or Shinzu had said... he had only one target in mind... Poseidon...
Seath gave another howl and was immediately engulfed in flames and running right at Poseidon, whom was busy trying to escape. Since the chains where encrusted into the wall, Poseidon was unable to use them... Seath headed to slash Poseidon on his gills to stop him from being able to breath correctly... Poseidon attempted to use one of his chains to deflect Seath's attack but Shinzu had already recharged and shot at the chain.
Desiree managed to make the walls seem like liquid, so Poseidon's two remaining chains were stuck as soon as she made the rocks in the wall become solid again. Poseidon was trapped.

Ares jumped ax held high, almost reaching berserk...
"Zion you do not get it. If I do not finish what they started he will be back and along with him Iddus Evol. Is that what the Eternals want?!"
"That is not for you or me to decide. You know the rules and you are in direct violation Amgel of Death."
The Angel of Death took the opportunity to quickly punch the ground and send a massive shadow like blade to hit Zion. Zion did not look at his oponnet, nor the attack. It seemed like it was going to hit but a mere inch from his face the attack retracted and the Angel of Death found himself standing as if he had never made the attack. Underneath the two a wave of strange energy passed by and Zion seemed to be specifically the cause of this strange wave.
"It is futile Raven to resist. You only delay the inevitable."
The person who was talking looked like a young man with elven like ears and a platinum hair that seemed to shine. The other person was a rabbit, his ears tied back like a ponytail, dark shadow like wings came froth from his back an his body seemed to be covered in a black substance that seemed to be very much alive.
"Zion you are making a mistake. I have to finish it."
"No Angel of Death you are not been granted the Eternal's permission to do what you intend to do. Therefore I am here."
Raven sent forth multiple razor black feathers but Zion extended his hands and they stopped in mid air then dropped harmlessly. "Why do you insist in fighting it Raven?"
Without even a move of any kind Zion appears in front of Raven. It was not a teleport or high speed movement, it was if he came to exits in that same place and with no hesitation grip the bunny by the neck.
"You have been judged, you have been found guilty..."
"I am the Angel of Death Zion, you know full well I will be back."
Zion proceeded to speak as if he had never heard Raven at all. And he was not looking at Raven as he seemed to be looking off into the distance.
"... Therefore you will now pay for your transgression."
"You can destroy this Avatar but you know I am the only Eternal who can never truly be eliminated Zion."
Zion continued his grip clenching more to quiet Raven.
"And now you will be condemned."
A strange whirl or energies appear at the side of Zion.
"Cease to Exist." he said now more softly and with one clean move through the bunny into the whirling energies. The bunny screamed but it was cut short as he dissolved into nothing and the strange ripples vanished.
Zion kept looking off as if to the distance.
"I can sense you mortal."
"Pretty neat trick!" Exclaimed a familiar voice. I wonder if you can do that to me as well.
Zion did not even turn to look. "You are not my mark mortal."
"I am not mortal. I am far from that."
The interlocutor lunged but Zion without even looking dodged effortlessly. The new interlocutor rolled and slided facing his opponent.
"Do not waste my time mortal."
The stranger attacked again moving this time with an incredible velocity. But Zion extended his hand and the attacker found himself in the air bounded by invisible forces. Zion kept looking off to the distance "You are not my mark. If you have a death wish you will need to find it from someone else. Then lowered his hand as the attacker was flung a few good 15 yards.
"C'mon man! I can do this all day!"
The attaccker moved with insane speed and at the last second weaves to the left then a sudden right and calling forth his Protean power lashed out with his right hand now with sharp talons and hit Ziom square in his face. And then suddenly he found himself the same distance as if he had never moved. "What the hell?" The attacker tried again but this time Zion grabbed him by his arm.
"C'mon you piece of mielda! Matame cabron! You don't have the guts f****r?!"
Zion merely flung him to the rugby side with force sending the attacker crashing to the ground then skidding while leaving a canal on the ground from where he hit all the way to where he was now. He flipped himself up and dusted himself.
Zion didn't even look at his attacker always gazing forward as if he was seeing something in the distance.
"Either you kill me or I will kill you pendejo!" the attacker readied himself again but Zion didn't tense or act at all. He called forth his power to induce Nightmare and bring forth sheer terror in the heart of this cocky bastard but nothing happened.
"Mortal you cannot win this fight, you are not my mark and you will not find death at my hands." And with that he vanished as if he had never been there.
The attacker shouted long and hard and dropped on four and pummeled the ground. His chance to die was gone...
-----------------------------------
However as soon as Sheath began to move towards Poseidon, Poseidon super computer evaluated the attack. He sent a chain as a ploy. Sheathe had forgotten he had fed energy to Poseidon who grinned and putting his legs to the wall pushed hard detaching himself from the chains and landing on the ground before Desiree casted her spell.
-----------------------------------
However when Poseidon detached and leapt in the air he made two serious mistakes one was that in the air it was hard to dodge and Shinzu had calculated his arcing movement and fired a bullet where Poseidon will soon occupy the space and as he did so he got shot right in the rib at that moment Ares brought down his axe with force and cleaved Poseidon then continued to charge forward and leapt in the air rather ungracefully as Shinzu's delayed bullet did it's work: it blew up destroying Poseidon... Or at least it seemed that way...
Valentino peeked again and sees that monstrosity of a fish is just lying there lifeless. Valentino gets up dusts himself off, he jumps to where Poseidon is and began doing what seems to be martial arts very awkwardly.
"Oh! That fish is dead, man hes lucky i was knocked out i would've kicked his butt. Ey Ares looks like that shaft of yours worked, look at that, daaaaam you put it in his ribs i guess you don't care where you put it, nasty."
"You wanna get knocked out again?!"Ares said.
"What?! Boy i knocked them tusks out (Valentino appears now to be doing some boxing with breathing noises) you don't know me, you see this rock watch I'm a do to it." he grabs the rock and tries to crush it but he couldn't. "That's alright i show you later".
"I think it is best we move on." Shinzu said as he adjusted his shades. Desiree was looking at Sheath.
"Sir Sheath have you been a vessel before?"
Sheath looked blank for a moment as he wasn't sure what Desiree was talkin about. "What do you mean Desiree?"
"When you left the tower you where Infused, it means an Eternal was granting you a portion of it's powers. Which would make you an Avatar for an Eternal."
"A what now?" Valentino asked.
"An Avatar is the name of one who becomes the vessel of an Eternal. When Sir Sheath came out I could sense another presence within him. But I should warn you I have studied many records and one thing is certain: Eternals who grant a portion of their power to a vessel or even possess a vessel seem to violate the laws of the Eternals and as such it seems that when such a thing happens the Eternals send someone after the Avatar."
"Who do they send Desiree?" Ask Sheath genuinely preoccupied with this new information.
"He is known by various names: Judge, Executioner, Executor... What the records do say it's that this being is an Eternal himself who comes down to execute both the Avatar and the Eternal who has violated the laws."
"Has this happened often?" Xian asked
"There are few documented cases most of them are not very clear about it. Sir Sheath be wary of calling on these powers lest you become a target for this being."
"Well! An interesting story!" Shinzu exclaimed "But how about we get out of here and continue towards the gateway?"
Seath took a deep breath. It was still night, but the idea of setting camp nearby the dead troubled him.
"Sunrise is a couple of hours away... we should press on. The elevator to the gateway is just up ahead." said Seath.
THe group agreed and pressed on, and as soon as the reached the base of the elevator, sunrise hit, and they decided to take a rest before pressing on to Shakuras.
