"Alright. Going in." Nitori announced briefly before opening the hatch to the engine and crawling in. Even the slightest of glance would grant X the amazing sight of Nitori's juicy behind. "I have to reiterate though; pressing the wrong button or pulling the wrong lever will result in me possibly dying in here due to rapid heating. Please pay attention and if you're not clear on something, ASK. Got it?"

The sight of Ciel battling... no, being pummeled by this mysterious purple assailant was too much for Kongou. Tears streamed down her eyes as she witnessed one of her first friends in the Western hemisphere beat up with no apparent explanation other than an unspoken thing between the two. For a second or two, as the purple attacker walked towards Ciel to possibly finish him off, Kongou stared on in a horrified daze, until she leaped into action, standing in between the two in determination.
"I- If you're going to kill him, you'll have to get through me first!" Kongou exclaimed, staring at her enemy with determined eyes. "Stay away or I'll make you stay away with my main cannons!"

Lujuria was running. She was told to, so that's what she did. She wasn't given how far she needed to go. However, knowing that Isaac had the means to summon her back to him when the time is right, she just ran in the opposite direction.
She stopped to check her bearing: A skate park to her left, a liquor store to the right. She was still rather deep inside the city, which meant she was exposed to the threat of the Reaper forces. She needed to keep running, but mindlessly sprinting around like jack rabbits aren't going to get her anywhere. Perhaps finding the map of the city would help...
She felt something behind her. Something ominous and dangerous. Could just be a hallucination, but demon senses never lied.
She quickly turned around to feel intense heat. Demonic reflexes allowed her to quickly duck, saving her from certain death from a fiery sonic boom which continued onward and struck the walls of the liquor store to her right. Quickly looking up, she faced her assailant.
It stood tall above Lujuria, almost nine-feet tall, added to the fact it was hovering off the ground. Ethereal flame held this Maiden of Flame together, bound by armor stained black from soot and burns. It had a great two handed scythe, almost reaching the ground as a featureless black shroud stared down at the embodiment of Lust.
"..." Lujuria stared upwards to look at the towering being, but she couldn't dawdle there for long, for the tall Reaper moved at a blinding speed, swinging its' weapon of choice down. Thankfully, her demonic reflexes still held as she dashed to the left. Keeping her body low, she evaded the next two, three strikes before bolting off to the right and keeping distance.
"This thing..." Lujuria grit her teeth. It was leagues stronger than the other Reapers she witnessed, and it bore extreme prejudice against her. Before she can catch a breath, her assailant dashed with an incredible burst of speed and, before Lujuria can completely evade it, slashed and struck her target.
Crimson blood was shed from the deep wound across Lujuria's left sides. Sharp pain blinded her and knocked her out of breath as she staggered, but she could not keep her guard down. Clutching the gash with her right hand to inhibit the bleeding, Lujuria fared better for the next flurries as she expertly dodged the vicious blades, continuously trying to gain distance.
As Lujuria tried to retreat, the Maiden of Flame charged forward to pursue her, this time switching from a flurry of attacks to a powerful diagonal swipe with her scythe. Not expecting such a sudden surge, Lujuria was struck again, this time a nasty slash across her right shoulders. Sharp pain blinded her as Lujuria collapsed to her knees.
“Is this… the end…?” Lujuria asked herself as her assailant loomed over her. If she had all of her power… if she wasn't enslaved by Sebastian still, she would've been able to crush the opponent… but alas. With her newest prey on its knees, the Maiden of Flame menacingly clutched her scythe in both hands as she stared down at her opponent for what felt like an eternity before speaking in what could only be described as a whisper garbled and distorted by multiple voices speaking in unison.
“Let the Flame purge your wretched soul, Demon.”
After speaking, the Maiden of Flame raised her scythe up into the air as it erupted into flames, and cleaved downward with all of her might in an attempt to cleave Lujuria straight down the middle.
No, this can't be…
Lujuria felt power seeping away from her as the fiery scythe coursed itself down towards her. Every millisecond felt like countless hours in that moment as Lujuria closed her eyes and thought, thought of her upcoming fate and what she would lose…
Isaac… she met him that fateful night four months ago. Ever since then, the two were together; no matter where they were. He was a real good friend… and possibly more in Lujuria’s mind. How heartbroken will he be when he finds out that she’s dead?
Lujuria opened her eyes suddenly. Instinctively and unwillingly, Lujuria reached out her hand towards the incoming scythe blade, as if she seeks to stop the blade. When her skin and the blade collided, a huge energy boom occurred, blasting the Maiden away and extinguishing the flame that made up her flesh. The purifying flame of the scythe contacted Lujuria, which instead of purging Lujuria’s soul, instead incinerated the spiritual conduit of Sebastian’s enslavement; and the result of its’ forced termination caused the bond to explode, causing the ethereal flame inside the armor to snuff out.
Lujuria remained victorious. However, if she did not find a way to heal her wound or siphon some life essence soon, her physical body would die; her spirit left to wander the pandemonium for centuries before she gathers enough life energy to reincarnate.
In a short distance, the remains of the Maiden of Flame laid cold. However, Lujuria could see the tiny spark of concentrated life essence; so saturated that it will not only rejuvenate Lujuria, but transform her into her fully powered form.
“I see that you still have a spark of energy left.” Lujuria said to the cold metallic plates and put her hand on one of them. Siphoning the life essence from the deceased Maiden, Lujuria muttered as she began undergoing dramatic transformation shrouded by a pink and black swirling light.
“I’ll put those energy to better use.”
