Eggman stared on, if he could blink.. now would be a time to do so. He now knew where the corporial form of the Vampire was though.. so he merely decided to wait for sunset, and then ensure that this creature was not a threat and indeed worth the business venture. At that time, Shae's head had just been saved from a serious thwack against a tree..
"Who.. or what.. the hell are you?" asked Shae, standing to his feet once more. "Though I'm greatful you stayed a serious bump from my head, your presence confuses me..."
The beast continued its attack on Psychosis.. who seemed to be barely managing on his own. The second beast was toying around with the other three. Gulo, however, inched closer and closer to the temple entrance while everyone's attention was elsewhere.

Psychosis dodged as best he could, seeing the strange cloaked figure save the Vanguard. He launched a burst of psionic waves to the beast, enough to allow him to sneak away and surprise it with a kenetic upward blast, sending it flying into the air. He then leapt upward, striking the beast on its spine, knocking it back to the ground. But despite the force of impact, the beast quickly recovered and went on the offensive once more, lunging and slashing at the hedgehog.

"Your questions will be answered in time, but know that I'm on your side for the time being, so let us deal with the puppies before moving on to serious business. . ."
The deathog was at the ready, the creature came in, and it's cumbersome charge met the grim reaper head on. Surprise lit up in it's pupil less eyes when it's jaws latched on to the arm of it's prey and found only fleshless bone. It's surprise was short lived, for Syth's wicked blade bore down into the monsters snout, keeping the creature from releasing his bite or letting go.
Evidently the evil ones could feel pain because after issuing a muted yelp it began to thrash about. Syth was lighter than he looked, being mostly essence and less so on the flesh side of things. In spite of their tough nature, the brittle dual snap of the arm bones in Syth's appendage snapped and gave way.
Syth fell to the ground, exausted and rather dazed, the creature bounded off to the protective shadows deeper in the forest, and it wouldn't have gotten there if the deathog hadn't snapped his fingers, the glove on his still present hand melted away like the cloak and at the same time the creature fell in a crash to the forest floor.
Drained for the moment, the deathog fell to his back, prone but confident that his associates could handle the other beast.

Shae just stood there.. blinking in amazement.. he'd never seen such force.. or such strange brutality from anything on, or around, Mobius before. The beast, felled and defeated, disapated and blistered away into the nothingness from whence it came. Shae walked over to the fallen figure, seeing if he could aide the warrior in someway..
"Are.. you.. no of course not, what a silly question.. I shall seek out the Godde- where.. did.. she.." said Shae, pausing to look around.
The Goddess was nowhere to be seen, what could be her motive to disappear after going through all the trouble of encouraging the gathered forces, this perplexed Shae, but none the less he tended to the fallen Deathog as best he could.

Meanwhile stealth had run down the building opening fire on the Shadowbeast to the west, bullets impacting around the creature keeping it hopefully still for the moment as he quickly reloaded in mid stride, when his other paw was free he pulled out his other pistol and clicked the saftey.
"COME AND GET IT DARKIE!"the fox growled leaping off the remaing steps and opening fire of the shadow beast with both pistols empting both clips at it as he fell twords the creature. When his arc got gloser to the creature he holstered his weapons with skill, precion and timing and at the same moment pulled out his staff exstending it to fuyll length for a death from above attack.

Kuri followed Stealth into battle. Despite the fact the beast was as good as dead, it's large arms where being pulled by gravity towards the fox's head. With the precision one could only get with years of practice, Kuri threw her dart so it would wrap around the appendenge. She wasn't strong enough to keep it there, but at least she could keep it from falling her now comrade.

(OOC: By the by, you guys can make the beasts react in your posts if you want. They're essentially free reign characters, but only a few players can actually control control them. ie; Syntaru and Tala. I'll post a full synopsis on them in what I'm calling the A.o.M. dictionary. Just remember these things act incredibley violent and are super strong and fast.)
Gulo saw his chance, he dashed inside the temple, making a run for the main hall. Dodging the various booby traps set by the temple's builders. Narrowly escaping a barrage of arrows, swinging axes and shooting flames. Nearly being crushed by falling stones and shifting walls. But, despite all this, he finally made it into the main hall.. all of this was bound to get at least one of the distracted Mobian's attention, but he didn't care.. he was about to complete his mission.
Cautiously he approached the large carbon statue, staring into it's ruby eyes.
"This must be what father detected.. it's the only thing in here.. but I don't see how.. said Gulo, pausing as he reached his hand out to touch the statue's base.. (OOC: Hey 'nix, here's your cue.)

Stealth nodded to kuri in her help as he landed on the beast bringing his staff down on his head, the beast roared in pain and fury at the little creature that had stung it with that hail of fire and then had the stupidity to hit it with astick. With a roar it broke free of Kuri bonds and lept at the fox who was back pedaling after landing from the blow. The beast though stil lseemed a bit dazed from the hit to the head and was a bit sluggish with its movements so luckily the fox lept to the side to dodge the pounce but he wasnt fast enough to dodge the creatures claws wich raked into his side leaking his red essance onto the ground as stealth snarled in pain tumbling to the ground.
"Ok....that it...no more mr. nice halfbreed."he hissed through his sharp teeth as he got up to one knee eyes tracing as the creature stood there its eyes glowing menacingly. The fox onlly collasped his staff and held it in his hands as he pulled out his pistol He reloaded it and pointed it at the creature. A plan forming in his mind."COme at me ugly if ya got the guts too."he snarled taunting the creature.
OOC: like that?

An ominous heat began to surround the statue as Gulo's hand just contacted the surface. The carbon began to heat and almost glow a dull hue of orange. Gulo didn't have the time to think much about this though, a sudden piercing pain, almost as if he was on fire, grasped him.
Rapture.
There was something grasping him. On his collar was a clawed hand that extended out from the statue from some unseen force. It pulled against him slowly, not so much as pulling him as hauling itself out of whatever seeming prison it had inside the structure. The dull outlines of a figure began to appear on the statue, itself was surrounded by dark violet flames by now. It happened suddenly then that the figure emerged all at once as if a great weight had been lifted from him; the force behind him had stopped tugging the opposite way.
There stood the great behemoth of a figure shrouded in the strange dark violet flames. The air close to it grew borderline on scorching hot. It was a monstrosity to almost anyone in the room. The only thing that could be seen in that fire was the image of an unsettling mask and two clawed hands with long bladed fingers that seemingly floated without appendages. The one eye that could be discerned from the mask had it's own fire burning forth from it. The thing glanced down at Gulo with a curious gaze.
Andre Demockstro had been liberated from his prison. He did not intend to go back soon.

Gulo cowered in awe and fear, this being of inredible power had stepped through the statue as if it were a door way. An immediately afterward, the pure carbon statue shattered into dust, revealing a glowing red gemstone floating in the air. This gem was surely the source of the readings. The wolverine pulled out his revolver and began firing relentlessly into the blazing violet figure. His six rounds vanished rather quickly, and he barely had time to reload..

The burning figure of Andre grimaced as if hurt by the bullets, but otherwised stood still. Andre reached out his right bladed hand and grasped at the air there; tugging out of seeming thin air a demonic looking sword. It's metallic blade was tempered in a way that made it curve like waves until the tip. There was no guard to protect against other weapons, and the hilt was forged of the same steel the blade was. Andre took one step forward towards Gulo, speaking in a most demonized voice.
"The Prophet hath not to suffer the intrusion of peasants in his plans!" He barked, swinging his now similarly flaming blade at Gulo. It never contacted him, but it might as well as a large scorching gash seared across Gulo's torso. Before he knew what had hit him, he was soaring back out the way he had come. Out of the temple he flew, beyond the steps and crashing into one of the many dilapidating pillars to end his flight abruptly. His wound would not bleed, the heat had been so hot as to cauterize it immediately.

Gulo, now permanently scarred, was knocked completely unconscious by his flight. The incident happened so fast, that it narry gathered attention from the fighting warriors. Only Shae, and perhaps the fallen Deathog, and possibley the Templar and Echidna would have noticed the spike in power from the temple.
~Andre, vacate the temple.. your presence is no longer desired there allow my general access, deny all others.. then, you will be fully free from my grasp until such a time I call upon your debt.~ said Syntaru to the glowing Shadow Walker, through his telepathy.

Andre could only nod as he stepped forth out onto the temple steps, not even bothering with any of the temple's traps that may have been left. It was almost a burden to stand in the sunlight that he had so long ago forgot. He could almost feel himself in the flames, instead of the always numb sensation of something flickering around him. Such odd sensations and he had only stepped out of the Void.
So he stood on guard at the entrance at the top of the steps; Denying access to all but one person. His stoic gaze settled upon the ensueing battle with some interest.
