As they regroup, Sarah glances down at the Tallus, looking puzzled for a few moments.

"Alright... the Tallus is trying to tell me the next step. We need to take the sword to 'our place of greatest strength', and 'bring back what was lost.'" She offers the soul sword towards Quinn. "I think I'm supposed to give this to you."

	Quinn drew more and more magic. His skin tingled from all the magical power he held. Quinn smiled and started blasting demons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Quinn, no! Start trying to figure out what happened with the original sacrifice, and if you can undo it. We'll protect you as long as we can." Much as she wants Quinn's power here, no matter how they limit the odds, they're going to be overrun if he doesn't undo whatever they did to get full access to the dimension, and the clock is running.

	"Watch it! Incoming assholes from the rear!" Macendale turned and began an assault of pumpkin bombs on the newly arrived demons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh right. He wasn't supposed to be blasting demons. He got a little carried away there. He started on a spell that would help him learn what exactly happened here and how he could reverse it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They could swarm from any side. Triangle formation, I'll take 12 position, you guys hold 4 and 8. We need to buy Quinn all the time we can. The storm should keep going on its own. Call for help - but only if you /really/ need it. We can't give them any room to disrupt the ritual." Yep. She's a Rogers alright. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

As a new group of demons came forth, a pair of familiar faces lead the charge, the multi-eyed monstrosity and the huge, hammer-carrying demon from when the Exiles first arrived.

"This time I kill you, woman!" The large demon ran forward with the hammer, ready to strike Sarah.

The eye-covered creature said nothing, but sent a barrage of mystical energy blasts from each of its multiple eyes at the Exiles.

	From her position keeping an eye on Quinn and Illyana, Gwenny can't resist. She sends two /very/ concentrated handfuls of blinding light at the eye-beast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dory, having fallen into the position not taken by Sarah or Gwenny, reflexively lurches a step in Sarah's direction when the hammer demon reappears. Fortunately -- or maybe unfortunately -- that step puts him in a position to intercept one of the energy blasts headed for Quinn. Hopefully, the slightly-reflective surface of his keratin body armor will deflect at least some of it.

	Jason continued to fire on the demon's trying to take some of the heat off Dory. One of the eye-demon's blast hit his glider, temporarily disintegrating it. Macendale hits the ground but he's up quick, manifesting fiery pumpkin bombs at the enemy. "Keep your eyes open! I don't see N'Astirh!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can try." she calls back towards the large demon, letting it get the hammer up before she flings Mjolnir at its gut, trying to catch it off-guard. "Isn't he more of a schemer than a front-liner anyway? He'll be trying to catch us off guard, not be out leading his troops." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn kept focused and continued working the spell. It had been so long ago that this would take quite a bit of time to go back that far to see what was done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Through the pain, Dory's glad that no one here has a reason to know Skrullos. They'll probably take his shouting as incoherent sounds of pain rather than the swearing that it really is. He wrenches up enormous double-handfuls of the dirt underfoot and pitches them both at the multi-eyed demon. He only just stops himself from following it up by throwing himself at it, but Quinn needs someone to keep him covered.

	Sarah's blow rings true, hitting the demon's gut, dropping it to one knee. The demon may have plenty of yes, but dirt in some still hurts. It hissed in its own tongue, trying to clear its vision. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goblin_savior 2012-09-20 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	The dirt was enough to buy Macendale time. He pulled out a pair of his razorbats and ran at the dsoriented demon. He leaped up at it. "Herrrre's Jason, asshole!" And then Macendale drove the blades into a pair of the demon's eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Don't let them lure you out, strike, and back into formation, we need to protect Quinn!" Sarah reminds the others. Not that she's overly worried so far, but demons are tricky, and she's sure N'Astirh will try something eventually.

She sees the large demon drop to a knee, as she's catching the hammer, only to send it right back out, aimed for the head this time. She has to be efficient - even if more brutal than normal. There's plenty more demons where these came from.

	Quinn was thoroughly engrossed in the spell to notice what was going on around him. He was almost at the point where the spell had been cast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Gwenny just keeps up from her position. Although part of her thinks that "C't'lauri" is a funny word to say when you're angry, and wants to remember it for later, since it's not real swearing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	N'Astirh himself finally appears in a nearby tree. His hands move in a series of patterns as he quickly chants off a spell, and then abruptly extends a hand forward at Sarah. Suddenly the Tallus starts to move on its own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2012-09-30 06:08 am UTC (link)
	That's a new one. So far, nothing she's encountered has been able to do anything to the Tallus - so needless to say, it catches her off guard. Sarah is quickly working at resisting the movement, and otherwise focusing on defense. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2012-09-30 11:38 am UTC (link)
	Quinn was almost there. He could see the time the spell was cast and could hear the words. Just a little bit longer and he'd be able to undo what was done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

N'Astirh's magic pulls the Tallus toward him, in spite of Sarah's efforts to stop the pull.

"When I first saw this, I could sense it's power. A beacon into the multiverse! With it I will no longer need a Goblin Queen. I will cover all realities in Limbo, becoming a demon-god in my own right!" N'Astirh crowed in triumph as the Tallus drew closer.

"No way in Hell!" Jason flies at him.

"You amused me once, Macendale. Now you've become bothersome!" N'Astirh fires off a potent mystic blast, hitting Jason hard and sending him crashing to the ground. However, it takes N'Astirh's attention away from his pull on the Tallus at a crucial moment.

Despite all her best efforts at times, and some fairly potent help, the Tallus is made to not be removable by any means short of her death - leading Sarah to be pulled right along with the Tallus, despite her best efforts.

She's pretty sure that her death wasn't going to be a problematic condition for N'Astirh, of course.

Jason's distraction gives her an opening, and use of the Tallus arm back. Building on the momentum the spell started, she launches herself, hammer-first, at the greater demon.

Quinn was vaguely aware of what was going on around him and knew things were getting critical. Time to give this plan a go. He knew what needed to be done.

He drew more and more magical energies into himself and called on the Vishanti for more.

When he couldn't possibly hold another drop of mystical energy he unleashed the spell to undo what Queen Psycho did so many years before.

N'Astirh's head snapped at the completion of Quinn's spell, but before he could even consider doing something about it, Sarah nails him the mother of all hammer blows, sending the demon sorcerer crashing to the ground, creating a small crater from the impact.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared as a beam of light struck the ground in front of Quinn, manifesting in the form of a baby. When the baby appeared a massive hole in the sky formed, a fiery chasm appearing on the other side. The demons roared in impotent rage as they were pulled inside. It wasn't just the demons present either, demons all over the world were being pulled inside. N'Astirh screamed in fury, trying to dig into the ground.

"No! I will not be undone! I have come to far! I have touched the door to the infinite! I will not be...!" But N'Astirh was cut off as he was forced from his spot, being flung into the portal as well. Finally, the portal began to close, and as it did, even the air itself became normal again.

The overall storm, meant to help limit the demons begins to die down. After the fights, the darkchilde's spells, and channeling more effort than she usually puts into trying to summon the godly energies, Sarah just finds a wall and slumps down to catch her breath and try and let the headache die down some, once she's confirmed N'Astirh is gone, and the baby is safe.
