the birth of a demon

[berserkism.livejournal.com]

[a swirling vortex has been hovering in the forest... the ominous energy surrounding it undeniable...

upon close investigation... there seems to be an opening at the very top...]

[the thrall of battle from within abruptly ceases as a blinding white light bursts through the closed fingers of the massive hand; from within, four shapes are converging, fed upon the blood and despair of those they had loved most...

the death toll hovers at three - Chie, Barney, and Rachel, their bodies torn asunder at the claws and in the mouths of the beasts surrounding our remaining sacrifices from every angle.

it looks like they could use a hand...]

[He's not going to argue; he ran out of ideas around the time he ran out of bullets.] Spike. Nice meeting you.

Save it for later--just grab on before these things tear us apart.

[He hesitates just a second (grab on to what?), then grips the winged guy's arm. He's not optimistic about this one, but maybe it'd buy him a few more minutes.]

-- Thanks.

[sees a few demons heading their way and starts firing, dropping two]

Quit talking and get out of here!

[Will stay tight to the remaining group, throwing well aimed kicks and punches. Then, to Ashura.]

Don't suppose you've got any more pyrotechnics up your sleeve?

Trust me, I have not even tapped my Talent yet.

All of you, stay close!

_{[Assured everyone was in close, he took a breath - and yelled as flame erupted around them in a circle and began to push out in a swirled vortex, a wicked saw blade that burned flesh and cut off limbs as surely as a steel blade. It force the demons back and Ashura let go with a sigh.]}

That should buy as more time.
