Skies began to darken across the floating city of Pacifilidog, waves crashing harshly over the coral rocks just north of the town. The usual dead calm waters were now a force of nature to be reckoned with, threatening the peaceful town. In one of the houses, a young man, with extraordinary powers was peacefully sleeping.
Al shot awake, as his knick knacks and various precious possessions began crashing down on the floor. A powerful wave came, and knocked him out of his bed and on to his own floor. “What the hell,” he cursed to himself rubbing his forehead, a red mark beginning to grow.
“I wonder where this severe weather has come from… it wasn’t in the forecast…” Al said stumbling to the door and pushing it open. The winds picked up speed, and the rain started coming down harder, and harder… each drop felt like a little prick from a needle. Al opened his palm, and he the raindrops stopped just before touching him, and falling into the ocean.
First thing is first…. Al thought to himself. The crystal around his neck began glowing, and his faithful companion Leviathan was swimming in the waters in front of him. “Leviathan, help out the town, make sure that the anchors below the city are secure, we can’t risk any houses capsizing.”
Leviathan gave a nod of approval, and began to dive, inspecting the cities foundation, making sure there were no malfunctions or any weak links. Leviathan let out a shrill scream, as the water around it began to color red, something had took out a huge gash, underneath one of the scales on its body.
Al sensed the pain immediately, a slight sting in his side as well, one of the downfalls of being mentally linked with his summon. “I have a feeling this is no ordinary storm!” Al said, diving into the ocean. He quickly reached Leviathan, which seemed to be in a fierce battle with a being, that Al, nor any other person could see.
What is it? Al said mentally to Leviathan.
Leviathan could only look forward into the abyss, at what seemed to be nothing. Then, coiling back into a counter strike, Leviathans maw agape, the waters began to become super heated as he shot a fireball into the direction of the darkness. It hit something, and surrounded, revealing a huge deity like figure, and then dissipating almost as quickly as it came.
Al could only watch in disbelief as something of that magnitude, could hide and blend itself into the water so well… and could this be what is causing the storms? At this rate the entire city could be destroyed. Al could only send a quick mental message for Leviathan to lure it towards the surface. This isn’t a battle that we can fight in the water, he has the advantage, we have to get him to take a physical form!
Leviathan agreed valiantly, and charged ahead, slamming into the invisible being, and retreating quickly, using a specific form of underwater guerilla warfare specifically to bring him to the surface, so that they could reveal his true form.
Al’s body melted into the water, and re-solidified at the surface, using an advance form of water teleportation. He pulled himself up to the docks, luckily soon enough to escape the two beasts battling underwater.
Leviathan was shot upwards, obvious in a state of pain as he slammed back into the ocean sending a massive wave that could hit the city possibly capsizing buildings. “Sh*t,” Al cursed raising both hands; using immense magical power to stop the onslaught of the ocean to the city, the wave becoming merely a ripple when it had reached the dock. The lowered his arms, and was panting slightly… a wave of that magnitude was no easy task to stop.
The surface of the ocean began to bubble, as a figure rose out of the depths of the ocean. First you could see what was apparently a crown, and then it figured into an older mans face with along beard, all made completely from water. The figure rose as far as its torso, well built and muscular, the water being expertly constructed to make the appearance of some sort of depiction of mythology.
“Poseidon!?” Al said excited, yet quizzically.
Poseidon extended his trident, pulsating sound waves hitting the ocean’s surface, causing a massive disturbance. Behind the Poseidon like figure, walls of water one hundred feet tall, with massivue destructive power, began to race towards the town. “I’m going to be needing some help…” Al said raising both hands once again, “Don’t underestimate me…” He said quietly gathering power to counter his attack.

Primus teleported in beside Al, one of the few abilities he'd managed to get the hang of since his rebirth.
Primus, formerly Prime, had once been a mere human bound to a godlike being, tasked with guarding the fabric of reality. He had since lost his life, however, but had been recognized by the Norse Gods, as one of the few remaining berserkers and a couragious soul.
He had been...reborn. He was a demigod now, or maybe a god, he wasn't sure. What he was sure of, and that his 'parents' had gone to length to make clear, was that it would take time for him to awaken to the full extent of his power. Perhaps even hundreds of years.
But he'd been told his Dominion, plainly, simply, and without thought or concern. He was the God of Blades, Deity of the Whirling Tempest, an unmatched bladesmaster across the universe. Of course, despite all his given talent, there were things that could still level the playing field.
He looked across at Al, looking as he had when he was one with his friend Aurora. White hair halfway down his back, almost aglow, and eye's they changed freely from gray to green started at Al. His features were understated, yet somehow rugged and sharp. His hair was tied back in a ponytail, and he remained as proud in stance and stature as he ever had.
He didn't doubt Al would recognize him.
"Hello Al," He said quietly, "Its good to see you again. I'm sad, that we didn't spend much time together in the past. But I suppose I shouldn't talk of that now, how can I help?" Primus said, keeping his tones low and respectful, calm, instead of boastful and arrogant as he had been before.

"Well, ain't this just a great reunion," Yoshimitsu said, dropping down from the sky. He landed smoothly next to Al, looking up at Poseidon and the incoming wave. "I thought I sensed something powerful, looks like I was right on the mark."
Yoshimitsu had changed his clothes from his usual attire of blue and black. Today, he was wearing light, pale purple shirt over a long-sleeved black t-shirt, looking immaculately clean. On his legs, he wore a pair of simple, loose-fit jeans. On his feet, he had a pair of white skateshoes. All things considered, he looked fairly normal. Or he would, if it weren't for the two swords hanging at his waist.
"So, God of the Sea... This oughta be fun," Yoshimitsu commented, unsheathing the guard-less katana. "Al, I'll distract Poseidon while you stop that tidal wave."
With a mighty leap Yoshimitsu launched himself into the air, gathering up fire in his palm. As he thrust his hand out and released a wave of flames, he shifted his grip on his katana and spoke.
"Reduce all to nothing, Shinkuu."
Immediately, the katana changed. The hilt melted into his shoulder, a shoulder guard forming there, and the blade wrapped itself tightly around his arm like a ribbon. At his wrist, the blade looped round to form a circle, and the rest of the weapon dangled below. Yoshimitsu flicked his wrist, causing the blade to become rigid. A quick glance told him that the tidal wave was still coming.
"Hey Prime, wanna lend a hand here?"
Yoshimitsu flicked his wrist again, causing Shinkuu to lose its turgid form. He swung his arm, sending the extending blade soaring at Poseidon like a whip.

"Primus for now, another has lain claim to that name." He said, stepping forward on the dockside. A pure while, shining sword appeared in his hand, where there had been none before. He looked at it quizzically for a moment, and then it changed into a steely bladed katana, somewhat thicker than normal. He took a stance on the dock, blade pointed straight behind him.
Something about him suddenly...changed. For a moment that seemed to stretch forever, Primus seemed every bit as terrible as the God that stood against them. His blade moved, and everyone around him could see it, despite the insane speed with which it moves. Everything around him was tranquil, untouched, and somehow he brought its tranquility into the foreground with one, simple, stroke of his blade.
A blast of wind rose, traveling from his blade and cutting into the water. It grew larger as it move, circling itself in great arks of mist and water droplets. It curled and curved, and finally impacted against the great wall of water that had risen as Poseidon's command, and smashed through it in a torrent of displaced water.
He had by no means stopped the wall, but he had neatly split a large section in the middle, and commanded it to stillness. However, the edges of the two Tsunamis to either side of him would still brush across the outer reaches of the city. Primus scowled, he could stop one, but he couldn't summon his aspect upon him quickly enough to stop them both.
"Its on you!" Primus said, throwing a sharp look at Al, before he turned back to the right hand wall, heading for the city. The blade in his hand suddenly stretch, and grew a blade out its other side. The handle was gone in a moment, the sword had changed into a pure white, shining, s shaped blade. Primus threw it with all his strength, and it screamed through the air, before impacting the Tsunami's wall and exploding violently, sending a torrent of water over the city, but otherwise leaving it unharmed.
He turned, another blade growing in his hand, as he looked to the other wall. He hoped Al had enough strength to stop it, because he wasn't quick enough to do so. The world seemed to be in slow motion, and he held his breath, as he turned to Al.

Al disappeared underneath the surface of the water, and rose out of the ocean behind the Poseidon deity. He rose out of the water much like Poseidon did, and constructed his body out of water, getting a feel of the force of the tsunami.
Al raised both his arms, and a serpentine figure shot out of the water. It had a dragon like appearance, and it let out a low gurgle like roar. Al circled his hands, and the serpent obeyed, going in the same direction, being completely manipulated by the Hawaiian warrior.
Al lowered his hands, and the serpent reeled backwards and surged forward, undulating at terrible speeds, head on charging the one hundred foot wall of destruction. Al raised his hands again, three more serpents constructed of water joined in the race, another showed, and yet another each one more powerful then the next. Finally, a few yards away, Al clapped his hands, and the serpents fused together, and slammed into the wall. An explosion of water, sprayed across for hundreds of yards, raining down hard, but the wall was weakened, and it was nothing by the time it had reached the edge of the city.
Al let out a sigh of relief, but the battle was not won, he disappeared in the water again, and reappeared next to Yoshimitsu, who had been keeping Poseidon at bay. Yoshimitsu’s whips seemed to have a minimal effect on the god, it would slice through his watery torso, and he would just reattach himself.
“I don’t know what to do,” He said to Yoshimitsu, “We are fighting in his territory, granted it is an advantage for me as well… we need to find something to keep him from reshaping himself.” Al scratched his head, dodging a spear of water, which whizzed by his ear.
Poseidon pulled his trident back, and he lifted it into the air. Lightning struck the tip, and split into two different strikes into the water. The ocean spray began to bubble and two giant serpents rose from the water, their skin looked slimy, the serpent’s jaws large and grotesque. They were green in color a row of spine like fins large and frightening was vibrating, sending of signals to each other of excitement.
Poseidon however, smirked at what seemed to be Al, as he disappeared into the ocean’s depths.
“Well,” Al said, “he is gone, but now we have these two grotesque sea monsters to deal with!” Al flicked his wrist, a whip made of water fifteen feet long uncoiled and licked the oceans surface. Al used his free hand, twirling his halberd preparing for battle. “This is going to be an interesting battle.”

OOC- Autoing Poseidon a bit, if you don't mind
BIC -
"You two, cover me. I'm gonna stop it's flow of water," Yoshimitsu ordered, jumping back to dry land. As soon as his feet touched ground, he immediately started focusing, concentrating on summoning up his element of choice. The issue at hand was the fact that Poseidon had all the strength of the ocean on his side, so he had to stop the connection between them. This was going to drain a lot of energy, he knew already, and he could not be interrupted during this time.
The first thing he did was summon.
It was instantaneous. Bahamut melted into plain sight above Yoshimitsu, his tail wrapping around the blue haired warrior to protect him.
"Bahamut, I need to focus for this. Keep me covered," Yoshimitsu ordered. Bahamut merely nodded, then looked down at the ocean. The water god was down there, the dragon knew, but luring it out again was the main issue. No matter how hot his flare was, Bahamut could not reach it while he was flying above the action and going into the depths was not high on his priority list either. Bahamut decided to test things, reared back his head and spat a gigantic fireball down at the water.
Of course, it did nothing but evaporate a small portion. Bahamut did not expect a reaction, but it was part of a facade. He stayed airbourne, spitting flare after flare into the ocean. However, as he did so, he moved slightly higher, away from Yoshimitsu. He was leaving the warrior unprotected, or so it seemed. As soon as his height seemed to get too great to move back, Poseidon appeared, readying his spear to skewer the warrior. Bahamut acted immediately, spitting a flare down at the water god and blasting its spear apart temporarily.
"Stem the flow of water, grind it to a halt," Yoshimitsu roared, shooting into the sky. He thrust his palm down, a beam of what looked like white light blasting from it. As soon as the beam touched the ocean, it froze. The water froze completely, as far as the eye could see. However, Yoshimitsu was not done. His hair flashed into gold and he dropped to the surface of the ice.
"Cause the balance to be disrupted, change the environment," Yoshimitsu muttered, closing his eyes. From where his palms touched the ice, a change occurred, rippling outwards. The ice was changing, completely changing its form. Instead of water, it was being covered by a layer of earth. Of sand and soil. After a few seconds, Yoshimitsu could not keep up the conversion and he stopped. However, there was just enough covered for Yoshimitsu to consider it a battlefield.
"Al, I don't know whether that's gonna work, but it's the best shot we've got."

Poseidon's body froze when it was pierced by the freezing light, but not completely, it was more of an icy prison holding him still. Then the ice changed to an island, the gods torso severed, and the being feel and shattered, quickly being absorbed by the earths soil.
"One enemy down," Al said laughing, but was giving a quick reminder when one of the serpents sent him flying into the ground with a slap of its spiny tail.
The serpent roared spitting out a green goo at Al, coming at high velocity, with deadly accuracy.
Al spun out of the way, the ground where the goo had it, melted into oblivion. "Just peachy..." Al said, jumping backwards, using geysers of water to send him flying into the air. A second geyser erupted sending Al forward towards the serpent, at an equally deadly speed. He lashed his whip out, wrapping around one of the large teeth of the supposed defeated deity's summons. Al yanked, and closed in, piercing the inside of the serpents mouth with his halberd into the roof of its mouth, with one heave he pierced the roof and entered into the nasal cavity, blood rushing outwards, and spilling onto the ground below.
The serpent lurched backwards, violently reacting, shaking its head back and forth. Al gripped his halberd and was sent flying back into the air, though this time he had caught himself landing safely into the ocean.

"Time for divine intercession, I believe?" A calm voice spoke from behind the trio, his presence instantly recognized by each one of them.
"You know, a phone call would work well, too. Of course, the fact that I could see the explosions from Slateport shore made that... Somewhat a moot point," Zebedee gestured, his racquet appearing with a thunderous crack. Wisps of light and flame orbited the weapon, mirroring those present in its wielder's aura.
"I've been re-evaluating a lot of things in my life as of late. Why I fight, how I fight, who I fight. It's all somewhat hazy when you really get thinking about it... But maybe one last fight is all I need to clear my mind," Fists clenched, Zebedee nodded.
"Here we go."
One of the serpents snapped forwards, as if receiving a blow to the back of the head. Zebedee, now present behind it, blazed forwards. He extended the racquet in front of him, ramming into the beast's neck with the force of a car crash. The scale beneath his strike shattered into powder, spiderwebs cracks appearing throughout the adjacent armor.
"How about that?" Zebedee planted both feet against the creature, and bounded away with an audible whoosh. He let the power of his leap spin him around, and as he came back about, threw a backhanded blow with his right hand. Originating in an arc around him, three columns of saffron appeared. The lasers shot down at the sea monster and seared its hide, instantly converting the water dripping from it into steam.
It flailed backwards in pain, and unleashed a torrent of acid at the warrior the moment it spotted him.
"No such luck, Kelpy," Zebedee waved his blade, and there was a tremendous boom. A mass of air, moving fast enough to be visible as a column of white, smashed through the mass of fluid and spattered the remnants. The holy warrior paused, and took a deep breath. He was getting better at making showy attacks efficient, but it still wasn't his forté.

Primus burst out of the sea monsters neck in a shower of blood and offal. He himself was untouched, but the blood and internal organs of the monster covered a great deal of the ground around it. Primus landed calmly on the monsters head, just after it crashed to the ground. He looked around him cautiously, prepared for any hidden tricks, then looked up at Zebedee. He waved,
"Yo! Its been a long time Zebedee, to long I think. You wouldn't happen to know somewhere I can crash would you? Being a new norse god doesn't automatically make you a home owner. Well, it does, but its hard to keep in touch when no mortal can step foot in your realm." He shrugged, slightly self conciously. He wasn't quite sure what he was, but he hadn't yet been able to decide whether it was better to be open about it, or to hide it.
He looked around again, basically unconcerned. He was sure there were things everyone present could do to knock him around a bit, but only Poseidon could kill him. He wasn't being arrogant though, he was well aware how much it would hurt if he got hit with a spear. Or a mallet, either way. Cutting weapons didn't hurt him anymore though, he found that, interesting...
"You still have the star?" Primus called up to Zebedee, "He's sort of back, and he could use it!" Primus frowned, suddenly realizing that Zebedee wouldn't know who he was talking about.

Al climbed onto what was now an island off to the side of Paciflidog, using his magic to dry him completely, the water droplets literally just lifting off of his body. He observed that one Sea Serpent still lives, yet the other one seemed deceased, “That all seems, to easy… I know that a mythological deity wouldn’t stoop to use such… weak creatures.” Al scanned the remains of one of the sea serpents, and noticed the other one doing something peculiar to say the least.
The last remaining slimy monstrosity noticed his companions death and stopped in mid attack, its gruesome nostrils flailing, saliva building up around his gums, dripping down to the earth’s service in large pools. The serpent bent its large snake hinged like neck, and began to devour the corpse of what presumably his ally.
Al shocked flicked his wrist generating his whip made of water, preparing for the worst. “There are only two reasons that this happens,” He said to the general party, “The he is hungry, or it is a means of being so grotesque that they eat each other to become that much more powerful…”
After lapping up the last remains of the visible corpse of slimy being, his companion began to make an odd gurgling sound. Then a large lump notable on the side of his neck began to grow, outward, a small mouth forming, teeth jutting outwards. Two eyes on either side opened as it began to take shape, and the form elongated, forming into a second head for the creature, but larger, and uglier than its former host body. Large arms rose out of the ocean gripping the side of the island, large chunks crashing into the waters below. It pulled itself upwards, revealing that the team was only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
The new monster, had a long undulating body, that completely surrounded the team, its large fins even larger, protruding outwards, each one terribly pointy, piercing anything that would come in contact. To make matters worse, it seemed to take something terrible from every sea monster depicted in fiction! Large tentacles armed with spikes crept up all sides of the island, lashing out for its next hardy meal, which just so happen to be the people trying to save the city. Its hunger was not for blood, however, but for the powers that they all possessed.
Al jumped out of the way from an oncoming tentacle, reacting quickly with his halberd slicing off the tip. The small fleshy piece of the animal landed in the grass, and faded from existence, the tentacle left scarred, without regenerating what had been so viciously decapitated.
The massive creature let out a loud roar, the sound waves causing the nearby ground to crack under pressure. The sheer size of the serpent was nothing to scoff at, let alone the destructive power it could have on the entire city. One thing that was noticeable is that its armor had thickened, and it is going to be very hard to pierce, a mere sword too short to reach any flesh, let alone anything to damage it significantly.
Al ducked a second attack from its limbs, and he shot himself in the air, calling out for help from Leviathan mentally.
Down below in the oceans surface, an unconscious Leviathan, woke, and shot upwards out of the water, catching Al in mid air. The due stayed higher up, to avoid any surprise attacks from the creature, as they pondered a plan to take out the titan of a sea monster.

"Oh, marvelous, huh?" Zebedee groaned, his long braid shuddering in the fierce winds of his aura. He snapped his fingers, a small pulse of kinetic energy pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. He looked skywards, sighed aloud, and raised his racquet.
"I'm not sure what would work best against this beast..." He spun the weapon with his thumb, sparks and licks of crimson light leaping from each spike. His right hand went to his beard, toying with his stubble.
"Well, can't just leave everybody down there all alone..." Zebedee closed his eyes, inhaled, and launched downwards in a steep swoop. He extended his feet before him, and met with the back of the first head with a crash. Not stopping his movement, the holy warrior tucked into a flip that seemed to defy gravity, rising barely above the creature's spined crest in the middle of its neck. He sprung open again as he fell past the other side of the creature's neck, and readied his racquet.
A crescent of light tore across its neck, and Zebedee paused in midair. He thrusted with his right palm, directly at the lingering glow. The lights shattered out to either side as a similar blade of wind crashed into the monster's hide. The impact seemed to catch its attention, and it twitched sideways. Zebedee took the blow across his entire body, and went flying like a toy flung by an angry child.
"Crud!" Zebedee focused, hitting himself with a burst of kinetic energy to his right shoulder and spinning himself around. He threw his racquet down, and raised his left hand.
"Gabriel's Trumpet!" Zebedee screamed, his voice haggard from going beyond its normal volume. A blast of wind exploded from his palm with a booming whoosh, and sent the youth tumbling head over heels backwards. The column of air slammed into the massive fangs of the other head, sending acidic spittle flying up in a mist. Its jaws slammed shut mere feet from Zebedee, simply the bite upon air creating a shockwave that blew him back further.
"Thought you'd get me like that? Please. Over half of my life, I've been dealing with stuff like you critters. By now? Second nature," Zebedee caught himself against a vertical forcefield he produced in midair, and kicked off of it, back towards the titan.

"Let's do this, Shinkuu," Yoshimitsu muttered. He allowed his hair to fade back to blue, stopping the flow of power from that. However, instead he raised his palm to his face and seemed to hold something invisible. With a mighty pull downwards, a silver mask formed over his face, with the spikes running down one side. All of the hair on one side of Yoshimitsu's head had faded to black. When he spoke again, his voice had changed. There was a second voice alongside his own, sounding very demonic.
"Alright, show me what you've got," he muttered, hopping into the sky. He flicked his wrist, sending the flaccid blade of his weapon flying an incoming tentacle. The tentacle was quickly retracted, blood spilling. Yoshimitsu did not even look when a second tentacle came his way, he just pointed at it and fired a thin beam of electricity that blasted a thin hole straight through it. Yoshimitsu vanished, reappearing higher up.
"Come on, come and get me," Yoshimitsu muttered. He wanted to draw in all the tentacles at once, but he knew that was not feasible. With another flick of his wrist, he sent Shinkuu cutting through another tentacle. Then, he snapped the blade rigid again. With a swift movement, he slashed the air in front of him, releasing a wave of flames that exploded upon impact with another tentacle.
"Lee, I can cover the tentacles if you get the head," Yoshimitsu yelled to his companion.

OOC: Sorry about Zebedee ignoring Primus's comment towards him. Kinda slipped my mind when I was writing it since I was also helping some people plan out coming plots. I'll probably have him apologize for not talking to him sooner after the battle, and then talk about the questions.
I'll ask Kev and see if he wants me to go again, or if he's taking his turn next.

OOC: - Right, managed to choke it down a bit. Though I do want to know, presently, when and how Yoshi became a shinigami, a vizard, and aquired a Zanpakutou. As well as being a Saijin at the same time. Stuff better not being appearing out of nowhere.
BIC: Primus cut off one of the tentacles as it whipped across his face, to close for him to react to, even with a God's reflexes. He cut off the remaining tentacles around him, to be sure they wouldn't strike again, and once more a sword grew out of his hands. This one was much larger, more than three times his size, and about two feet wide. It had a wicked hatchet tip, and looked heavy as hell.
For all its weight, it barely slowed Primus down. He jumped onto the monsters back, charging up its spine. Tentacles whipped at him, and sweat beaded on his forehead and he strove to evade them. He cut the limbs his couldn't duck in huge, exaggerated sweeps of his sword. He still took nicks and cuts, here and there. The tentacles glowing faintly gold where they'd taken his blood.
They glowed wetly as they sucked the energy down, an immense amount of power in a simple, golden liquid.
Primus finished his mad dash up the spine, finishing on top of the leftmost head. Its bloody tongue shot out, trying to crush him on top of its head, but he cut if off, dodging out from under the weight of the tongue as it fell.
He jumped, over the serpents other head as it struck at his former position. His sword came down in a languid stroke, embedding itself in the creatures eye. Blood sprayed everywhere, and Primus was thrown back as the creature convulsed, its wildly flailing head hitting him dead on in midair.
He hit the ground with an uncontrolled roll, and a great deal of skidding, scowling all the way. He gripped the ground hard as he slowly came to a stop, as the monsters head turned towards him, as it prepared to finish him off.
For the first time, a shadow of a smile touches Primus' lips.
A wide sweep of his immense sword kicked up dirt and dust into the monsters eyes, adding insult to its injury. It twitched strongly as the irritant set into it's eye and its wound. It spat acid at random intervals, barely missing Primus, who found himself suddenly missing half of his shirt.
"Oh hell, I just got this shirt." Primus sighed, "I've been tight on cash lately to." He massaged his temple, waiting to see what Lee and Yoshi would do. And whether it would leave and opening for him to back them up, if nessisary.

If El has pencil and paper RP's that he has to put up to prove his powers, then so be it. It isn't like he is completely ripping this monster in half, he is literally only handling one part, limiting his powers.
I guess I should actually use Al instead of holding him back
Oh, BTW, we can each get a just a few more bashings in with this monster. This is meant to be a high power level topic, but lower levels are also allowed for a variety in the story. Also, don't kill the monster, but you can say that you are weakening it, cutting limbs off and such if you would like.
If anyone would like this as a summon, or such, please PM me, so we can work on any details if need be. Also, if you feel that someone is super playing, rather than putting extra pages of nonsense on the RP, just PM me, and I will address it with them.
Thanks.

Al sneered at the new creation, "This is really starting to p*ss me off... and I love marine creatures!" Al jumped off of Leviathan, attaching his halberd to his back. As he soared through the air, straight at the two heads, he cracked his knuckles, heat beginning to generate. Al began to spin in the air, his fist closed tightly gaining momentum, literally turning into a human typhoon, water spraying in all directions. "Hawaiian!" he said, his voice carrying far and wide, echoing slightly.
The serpents heads looked up at the minuscule human, which was racing through the air at them, there mouths drooling, sensing his power. They hissed, and lunged forward, attempting to gobble up Al.
Al's direction changed in mid air, the water jetting him faster, velocity and power gaining. He closed in on the side of one of the serpents "PUNCH!" he screamed unleashing a powerful punch to the side of one of the serpents skulls, causing it to slam into the other one. The attack wasn't finished just yet a beam shot out of Al's palm, slamming into the monster again, scorching the thick hide, leaving a huge hole, taking huge chunks of flesh. It dissipated into a hibiscus flower, leaving considerable damage to at least one of the heads of the serpent.
The serpent shook its head, the powerful attack catching it completely off guard.
"I'm not finished yet," Al said red in the face, anger consuming most of his emotions. With a burst of water, Al was sent flying at the monster again, "Dolphins..." he said in-canting his attack once more. Shouting my attacks give me 30% more effectiveness Al thought to himself. Al closed in his body spinning like a typhoon, "Kick!" he screamed the ball of his foot connecting with the jaw of one of the heads, sending it reeling backwards.
"Solid hit! TWICE!" Al said excitedly, heading towards the ground. Leviathan, his summon, swooped down, catching him on his back. "Leviathan," Al said verbally to his companion, "that used up a lot of energy, I am leaving it up to Mizu Hebi... The poor creature doesn't deserve to fight my final summon... unless he goes through another transformation." Leviathan nodded, setting Al down safely on the ground, and faded away in a blue light.
Al concentrated on his bead, calling forth one of his more powerful summons. "Mizu Hebi!" He yelled, a large serpent appearing, half the length of the monstrosity that they were facing now, large fins on its head, and six going down its back. "Now! Mizu Hebi! Barrage Cannon!" Al said standing on his summons head.
The fins on the Mizu Hebi's back folded over, creating an organic looking cannon, they shifted position and aimed for the largest portion of the serpent's abdomen. Beams of blue light formed, and began to shoot out in a powerful barrage of water elemental bullets. Each one slammed into the section of the serpent, exploding, portions of its armor and hide flying out wards, blood spilling into the waters.
The serpent retaliated, but not with acid this time, each head shot out green beams of energy, slicing through through the ground, going in two wild directions.
"Oh! CRAP!" Al said, back flipping off of his summons head, his summon fading away, before it would have met a fatal end with one of the monster's beams.

"Alright, guys! That's how to do it!" Zebedee shouted, pumping his arm. He had teleported back away from the battle when Al had rushed in, knowing full well the sort of power that was going to be unleashed. His braid began flowing to the side, the continuous breeze that surrounded him now taking a more definite pattern. The wisps of light began to slow their flickering, and stretched outwards.
"Here we go... I really don't know how valid what George said to me is, but I'm not going to be shaken. This works... Doesn't matter how it does-" The lights around Zebedee began blossoming, tendrils of light dancing around him in a pattern too complex for a mortal mind to comprehend. Each one spread dozens of smaller strands, branching off like the bits of a feather.
"Lord God, give me strength... I'm challenging that which opposes your truth once again. Please, don't let my labors be in vain- No, no. I know that what you will is what shall happen. Rather, Lord, may I act as your hand in this battle. May everything that I do be in accordance with your desires... May all my thoughts and actions be only those that follow your heart. May I serve you with all of my soul, amen," Zebedee's eyes snapped open, accompanied by the air around him surging outwards in a shockwave. A brilliant mote formed above his brow, and orbited his head once, the path remaining suspended in the air.
"No doubt... No fear. Just the goal ahead of me. The safety of every child of God present, and the defeat of the one that seeks to harm them... That's all there is!" Zebedee disappeared, accompanied by a noise like a blast of thunder.
"Kefitzat Haderech!" Zebedee exploded back into sight before one of the creature's heads, and twisted into a backhand. The blow connected, shattering scales and sending acidic spittle and splinters of the struck fang flying in all directions. The holy warrior had left before the creature felt the blow, arriving with another thunderous blast directly opposite his strike.
He struck with a rising kick, meeting the impact of his first blow and shattering through dripping spines with the blow. The creature's neck snapped forwards again, and then down as an explosion from above indicated Zebedee's next vector of attack.
"Aaand..." Zebedee's aura collapsed inwards, leaving only a shower of brilliant emerald sparks and a roar to denote where he had once been. He finished his teleport directly beneath the falling head, drawing himself low. His aura burst outwards, the heat boiling water and melting the sand to glass where it touched.
"DONE!" Zebedee threw himself upwards, the wind whistling past him as he tore through the air. He clenched his left fist tightly, the feathers of light bunching and knitting around it until they had formed a latticework of exquisite finery. With a triumphant shout, Zebedee threw an uppercut into the chin of the beast. A sick crunch accompanied the blow, the creature's eyes flying wide open as his blow snapped a crack directly into its jawbone.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then Zebedee went flying back. His flight now without control, he shot through the thatched roof of one of the local huts, and exploded out the other side almost instantly. He slammed into the sand, a massive burst soaring up around him and obscuring him from the sight of the other combatants.
"Down," A burst of wind came from above, and the sand was struck back to the newly formed earth. Zebedee knelt shakily upon the sand, a furrow in the earth marking where he had used his hand to catch himself.
OOC: My first time using Full Holy since the battle with Prime, believe it or not.

"Alright, everyone, brace yourselves!" Yoshimitsu roared, Shinkuu leaving his arm and assuming its katana form again. He jumped up higher into the air and pointed his palm at Bahamut. The dragon began to change, turning into what could only be described as a spirit. He resembled a dragon-shaped blue flame. The fire immediately whirled in the air and flowed straight to Yoshimitsu's palm. The blue haired teenager frowned, changing the form of Bahamut. Within seconds, he appeared to be holding Bahamut's head.
The head did not look entirely like Bahamut - it did not lot organic. If anything, it resembled a very detailed metal sculpture. Bahamut's head, and the top plate of his neck, with the mouth wide open. Inside the mouth was nothing but darkness. Yoshimitsu's hands were inside the neck, apparently holding on to something in there. Despite how heavy it looked, Yoshimitsu was holding the odd creation easily. As Lee and Al fought off the creature, he planned his strike.
With a look of utmost concentration, Yoshimitsu began feeding power into the weapon. As he did, the space in the mouth started to lighten, slowly but surely. As the seconds went by, the weapon was gaining strength. A burning orb began to form between the jaws, growing at an alarming rate as Yoshimitsu began to feed more and more power. The attack was nearly ready, he just needed an opening.
It came quickly. Lee's strike to the creature's head was enough to give him the chance he needed. Yoshimitsu swung the weapon round, aiming for the revolting creature's damaged head. "FIRE!" He roared, and the attack blasted out at full force. It resembled Bahamut's Mega Flare attack, but with so much more behind it. Strengthened by Yoshimitsu's own power, it was stronger than any Mega Flare Bahamut had ever unleashed. With sinister crackling sound, the white-hot fireball shot straight at the creature's head. Yoshimitsu prayed it was enough to take down the monster.
OOC- I'm assuming Lee didn't kill it here anyway :s

OOC: Nothing left for me to do, besides make its head explode. That was an obvious finishing attack, and while I admit I could make large furrows in its body and maybe poke it in the brain a few times, Primus can't do anything on that level. I mean, yeah, he could cut it in half in an extremely extravigant manner, but all his most powerful attacks are basically finishers. So I say go. Unless you want me to finish it. Because riddling it with a complex pattern of lines prolly won't kill it, or even weaken it.
If you want, its can swallow Primus and transform though. If you do that, I totally want it as a summon/pet.
