"My, this town is lovely," she said. The bright morning sun shone down upon her beautiful, young face, cheeks reddening from playfully dancing around in the chilly air, white gown flowing behind her as she moved. The trees, full of green leaves and glistening with the dew, opened their lovely blossoms to the world. She giggled as she stared into the sky, then skipped back to the man's arm and took it.
"The town, the trees, the sun, oh, how beautiful it is!" she exclaimed. "And the people..." she said, her dark brown eyes staring deeply into the man's, "are so wonderful too..." She took his head and leaned forward to kiss him. As she unlocked her lips from his, she whispered, "And all of it, will be mine..." The man, lost in the moment, paid little attention to it, until the next moment that is.
In the next few seconds, unseen by anyone on the outside, the man felt his mind pushed farther and farther unto a dark corner. He tried to open his mouth to scream. He tried to fight the overwheling darkness. But he then felt nothing, saw nothing, thought nothing.
She giggled childishly as she finished puting her Influence on him. This man was now hers. This town would soon be hers. And perhaps the world would follow. All its beauty would be hers to have, and not a soul would dare ruin it as they do now, because she, Ysane Tranquility, would take their minds and leave them without that horrible desire.
"Come, my loves," she called, seemingly to no one in particular. Two doves flew towards her, then gently landed on each of her shoulders. "We shall have some joy before having this town." With that, Ysane snapped her fingers. An gas pipe exploded a few blocks away, violently waking up all the inhabitants of the town, destroying the roads, cars, houses, but managed to cause no casualties. She giggled, dark locks of wavy hair bouncing around.
It was still morning. Such a web of discord that could be weaved in a whole day's time.

Diamonds head shot up sharply, she could sense divine energy on the air, but it was unlike Zebbys. No, this was a dark and chaotic energy. She looked around carefully, and sure enough, there stood a black smoke cloud on the horizon. And, when she checked, the air smelt like burnt gas. "Gas-line explosion? Hmmmm, coincidence? Perhaps not, better check it out." She muttered, lifting herself off the ground to fly in towards the explosion. Several people were injured when she arrived, and she could sense some unusual minds down the street, feeling them as though they were being controlled be another. Frowning, she knocked the presence out of their minds (not without quite a bit of fight from the entity), and then turned her attention to the wounded. She carefully bound all of their wounds, using her telekenisis and telepathy as much as not, and then sealed over the faulty pipe-line. She couldn't see any evidence that it wasn't an accident, but there was still those unusual minds to check out. She shrugged, and set off down the street briskly, walking through the smoke and shadow as though it were her life long home. (And, in a way, it was.)

A man, wrapped in baggy golden clothes, was also tending to the wounded. Impressive red, orange, and blue designs were sewn into the fabric, and the folds of his shirt seemed to conceal a powerful form beneath. His dark brown hair was trimmed short, following the contours of his head.
The man said muttered a brief prayer, and then moved on to the next victim. He was not as speedily efficient as most of other relief workers that had assembled, but instead was thorough in all his actions. He ensured that each victim was emotionally and mentally sound, as well as physically in decent condition, before moving on to the next one.

Ysane made a face, staring down at her work from the hill she was on. She had felt a few of the minds she had easily charmed fall from her network of control. This was not good. Mortals should not meddle in the affairs of the immortal. Immortals were, afterall, immortal for a reason. With no guidance from above, what could these mice of men hope to accomplish? Did a human think that by himself he could create the pyramids? Hah! The 8 wonders of the world were orchestrated by the gods themselves. The days of old were much better than those of today. The bards sang of those divine and told the tales of heros they thought were free-willed, who were simple puppets and pawns in a grand game of chess. Like diamonds, a god is the only thing that can cut another god. Mortals are so naive. It makes them so much easier to control. But now was not the time to dwell upon those thoughts. While in her reverie, Ysane had unfocused on her pawns, allowing some psychic to take them from her Influence. But now was the time for something more... cliche, perhaps. Ysane gracefully climbed the single tree upon her hill and sat on one of the main lower branches that didn't have so many leaves. Somehow, she managed to not trip on her long white gown, too. She looked to the sky and grinned, rocking her feet with glee. Hmmm... what cliche things to do... she waved her arm to the sky. Out of literally no where, a thunderclap sounded. The sky was the pale blue of morning, still. However, this did not last long. Water droplets began condensing at an extremely fast rate above the town, somehow not revaporizing from moving and colliding with each other so fast. The clouds, soft and fluffy at first, grew larger and larger, darker and darker, until they completely enveloped the area of the town. Torrents of rain began to pour down, lightning flashed. The largest group of people were gathered around the wounded. Thus, defying the basic principles of electricity, lightning was striking exact places near the group twice ore more, in quick succession, but rarely any fatalities. Ysane had left a circle of no clouds above her hill. The sunlight was still able to shine onto her. She was warm while they were cold, and she found this amusing. Fear was one of the best ways to control someone. Big events were the best way get attention. Like terrorism, something like this makes everyone so much easier to control. OOC: Quick note: those thoughts up there are just her thoughts. I'm not superplaying and saying that she's that powerful, just saying she thinks she's that poweful.

The man muttered a quick prayer, and looked skywards. "A weather change that sudden? This bodes of evil works in the area." He turned back to the people who he was tending to. "Get under shelter. Quickly. And I'd advise you to make peace. I doubt that any of these structures will shelter you from these arcane deeds." The man's voice was rich, deep and compassionate, but from his tone, it was obvious that he needed obedience at the the time.
He began darting around, searching for anybody who he could urge into shelter.

Diamond headed straight for the being surrounded by light, and decided quite suddenly that she'd likely need more power than she currently possessed. She reached into the void, and brought fourth Fatesbane, her recently aquired naginata. The chain wrapped rapidly around her body, clothing her in its protective armor. The chained clinked faintly as she headed for the stranger. "You! Are you the one who caused this?!"

Ysane rocked her dangling feet back and forth asshe stared at the patch of blue above her. While staring, she had subconcsiously caused the tree she was sitting on to begin growing at a much faster rate than normal. Its trunk, which a person used to be able to wrap his or her arms around all the way, grew wider. Roots began erupting from the ground and diving back in, making complicated paths to anchor the growing plant. It of course stretched itself to the sky. In a few minutes, it had only grown a few feet, but its growth rate was accelerating.
Ysane herself stayed at about the same level she had before while the rest of the tree grew around her. She smiled at the sky and at the pretty green leaves absorbing the rays of light, not paying attention at all to the various cracks of thunder and explosions of houses and cars being struck by lightning. When she was finally ready to start extending her Influence on the frightened people of the town, she heard someone speak.
"You! Are you the one who caused this?!"
Ysane turned her head and looked at this person. She scowled. Not only had the person, a mere mortal, issued a challenge of some sort to her, a god, but she had also spoken out of turn with utter disrespect. This was an outrage!
Ysane began to exert her Control on the person, but stopped almost as quickly as she started. She could feel the mental powers of this person; the girl was definately not a normal human. Her Influence only worked on weak minds, but this mind surpassed normal standards many times. Now that she noticed it, the girl's weapon seemed to command its own presence.
The demigoddess waved her hand, causing the tree to lower its branch to the ground. She stepped lightly onto the grass and looked at the girl in front of her.
"Yes, young girl, I am indeed the cause of these lovely events." Ysane smiled as she said 'lovely.' She believed the chaos around her truly was a beautiful art. "I am Ysane Tranquility, daughter of Eris, goddess of chaos and discord."
Perhaps this person could be convinced to join her? No normal person would have approached her in such an upfront way. She was strong, and she knew it. Or else, it was a front of bravery? But that didn't matter at the moment. What was her motive for coming? That was the question. By demeanor and tone, it was fairly obvious it was not a challenge to test strength. More of an inquiry. For the source of the chaotic events around her. Most likely to stop the events so no one would be harmed.
"Young lady, you probably wonder as to why I am preforming these deeds? Yes, I will admit to being the daughter of Eris. But we differ at one key point: death.
"I'm sure you've heard the story of the Trojan war? The destruction of the great walled city, the death of the hero Achilles, the fighting, the bloodshed... All caused by my mother because she hadn't been chosen as one of the most beautiful goddesses. And perhaps because she was bored.
"But you see, I wouldn't do that. I would not fight a war for fun. I would not kill because chaos demands it. Probability always gives a chance for life, and I always try to take it. You can see the few deaths here, in this town. I was raised by a human. I feel close to human myself.
"Look at the world today. Humans wage war with each other to do what? To gain land that doesn't belong to them? To have more power and to crush those without it? To destroy a government they say is corrupt, only to replace it with their own corrupt system? Why? The Trojan war was started by the gods and ended by the gods. The wars that these mortals wage are started by them and ended by them. Although war is still horrible, at least the gods' inspire epic heros, poetry, art, and honor. But what of the human wars? You remember Odysseus when I say the "Iliad" but won't be able to name a divinely aided hero from World War I. Duels were fought to decide a war instead of young men running towards their certain death and waiting for the other side to tire.
"I ask: would you like to stop this? I believe that I have the power to do this. This world was beautiful when humans had faith. But now they tear the earth asunder for their own avarice. And you can help. I believe with your power you can help me return the world back to this," she motioned to the tree. "Just say yes, and the world can be yours to nurture and protect."

"Under the cruel rule of a arrogant, weak, self proclaimed goddess?" Diamond mocked, "I think not, no, I protect that people, I don't exist to control them. I protect them from people like you, so they can make they're own decisions on how to live, die, or fight with honor. You, you have no space in your mind for honor, or defense of humanity and they're decisions. I can sense it from here, your thirst for power and appericiation, your hunger for worship and blood spilt in your name. Tranquility, you say? What an ill chosen name, for one who follows in their mothers footsteps, sewing chaos and discord. Do you simply thirst for attention?" Diamond paused, pursing her lips mockingly. "Mommy didn't love you did she?" Her face hardened, "But you mother is dead now, and you can't make up with her in this world. And I'm afraid its my 'self proclaimed' duty, to protect these people from things, beings, and powers like you." The chains surrounding her body began to uncoil, and formed a tiered circle around the two women, encompassing 100 meters and creating a dome from which they're was little chance of escape. "So, what say you go have a nice soul to soul chat with your mother, if you even have a soul in that empty shell you call a body." Diamond grinned savagely, this woman didn't have enough experience to sway anyone's heart without using her power. And she could never know what Diamond truly wanted, trying to turn her with no charm, no experience, and no leverage was a futile prospect.

Ysane was angry. Very angry. No mortal would ever dare to speak with such insolence! This could mean one of two things: the girl was either very stupid, or had power to back her words. One was, of course, more worrisome than the other. And there were also the memories hundreds of years old... But she would remain calm. After all, a goddess wearing the mask of worry or anger implied weakness, and she was not weak.
Ysane silently cursed herself as she watched the chains envelop the area. She had chosen the wrong words, she had made the wrong assumptions. Now that the two were closer, she could see and recognize the weapon that girl was holding, and she knew the lengths the gods and devils went to seal it and its brethren. She had assumed that anyone going to those extremes would have a thirst for power.
"Honor? Yes, we had that before. But would you say this world is filled with people of the same calibur of honor back when I was but a child? You claim to protect the people, yet you can't even protect them from themselves as corruption, malice, and violence spreads throughout the world. Governments claim to exist for the people, yet they enslave their people. Crimes are comitted based on first appearances, rather than on past offenses. Would you call this honor? Humans don't deserve free choice. They'll only abuse it."
Ysane didn't respond to the comments about her mother. She had other thoughts on her mind. In an insant, she waved her hand to start the attack. A clap of thunder was heard, somehow before the lightning, which struck down on the chain, then twelve more blasts of lightning hit the chain, each one reinforced with more divine energy than the last.
The goddess knew it would probably do nothing. But did the girl know that? Only recently did she notice the breaking of the temple holding the weapon, though at the time, she paid little attention. This girl would only be learning about the weapon. Doubt was also good at creating havoc.

"The Lord granted us free choice because he loves us, and wants the best for his children!" A rich voice, full of life and authority, rang out in the booming thunder. "Step down, false goddess, and stop attempting to bring others into your venomous embrace!" The man stood tall and proud atop a building, his voluminous clothing fluttering in the wind like an army's banners.
"I won't allow this blasphemy to go unpunished." He said, his voice echoing. The noise of the thunder seemed almost to amplify his voice, echoing mightily over the sounds of the chaos being unleashed all around him. "So, let us settle this in the appropriate manner. My name is Enos, and I have come here to rid the world of your evil!"

Ysane looked at the other new person. He seemed annoying at best. With a wave her hand, a wave of migrating Dugtrio and Diglet burrowed underneathe the building Enos stood atop. A moment later, the foundation ruined, the building collapsed in on itself. Ysane snickered loudly, then motioned for Insanity, her dove, to finish this Enos person.
Insanity had still been in the tree when Ysane began to face Diamond. It swooped down, white feathers seeming to glow in the narrow sunlight. It was almost angelic, if you didn't know who it belonged to. It then landed next to the rubble of the building, cocking its head in that birdlike way, waiting for Enos to step out.

Diamond grinned nastily, "I don't think so honey." She said mockingly. She ignored the discharge of lightening into her chains, she knew it couldn't hurt them. The end of the chain wiped out, and wrapped itself around the little bird, then reversed direction and hurled itself and the bird towards the pathetic goddesses head. Just before it was about to connect, Diamond left forwards, her naginata reaching for the woman's throat, and at the same time, she caused the chained dome around her to be charged with electricity, sending thousands of bolts of lightening towards the evil goddess.

Insanity was quicker than that. Insanity was also a master at summonings. Diamond had thrown but a dummy with her chain while Insanity bird walked (at an oddly fast speed) out of the way. The dummy bird dispersed as soon as it neared its master's head. "Your fight is not with me, but with my master," it said coldly at Diamond, then turned back to the rubble. With that, it became impatient and transformed.
Insanity was more than a dove; it was really a shapeless mass of specialized magical energy, which preferred taking the shape of its opponent's worst fear. It had no knowledge of Enos' fears, so it went with the usual transformation: A giant black dog with three snarling heads wearing spike collars. Its fur behind its head was more than bristled; it was spiked to cutting points. Batlike spread from its back, then folded so that the monster could walk freely. Insanity reared up on its hind legs, the sounds of bones crunching as it continued to shift its internal structural parts around. Its forelegs turned into muscular hunanoid arms which were still covered in black fur. A swirl of energy appeared between its hands, which quickly hardened into a massive sickle.
"Chaos." Ysane whispered. Chaos, her other dove, nodded. As she sidestepped the naginata, Ysane buffered her hand with a combination of black and white magic and pushed the nagainata away. Chaos, simultaneously, lifted its wing, which glowed a brilliant white. The wing nearly instantly grew to several times its size, absorbing all of the lightning that had been discharged. As fast as it had grown, the wing returned back to its normal shape.
Ysane laughed. Oh, this girl was good. She knew that with the chains around the area, the ability to alter probabilities for chaotic effects was nearly nullified. But there were holes. Always holes. The goddess clapped her hands then placed them on the ground. Suddenly, a fissure opened up beneath the fight. The chains did not reach underground, and if they did, movement would have been seriously hampered.
Ysane let herself fall into the hole. She motioned to Chaos again, who grabbed her and lifted her back out of the hole, somehow able to carry her despite the fact that it still looked like a normal dove.
With another wave of the hand, a few dozen demons began to come up from the fissure. Ysane had them under her Influence, and told them all to attack Diamond. They were under her full Influence. Nothing short of death would release them.
Ysane cared little for demon lives. She was only half human, not half demon. Her father had raised her for compassion towards humans only. But she still had something to say. "What will you do now, girl? Before you wipe these demons from existence, know this: They too have families. They too led lives like the humans you wish to protect. Will you run from them and try to release them? Futile attempt, as they are under my most powerful Influence. Can you concentrate on all of them and keep them at bay while fighting me?

"Fool!" Diamond spat, as the demon approached her. In a moment she freed them for the woman's influence. "I control the probabilitys within this ring, no matter how powerful you are, I can change anything you enforce. Using our powers against eachother is useless. And oh, one more thing. Haunmei has something to say!" The power of the naginata dove into Ysane's mind, doing its best to disable her powers and incapacitate her. "This weapon was designed to kill you so called 'gods'! Or had you forgotten?" Diamond twitched the chian, and it scatteded into several thousand indevidial links, sourounding everything for miles. Diamond grinned savagely, as she informed the demon's who had invaded they're minds. "Oh, I think the demon's are a little pissed off now two." Diamond mocked. She closed the fissure below them, re-enforced the probability that the building Enos has stood on had not fallen, and watched as it re-appeared and Enos stood on top of it once again. In a moment, the bird 'insanity' had returned to its origional form, and Diamond pointed her naginata at Ysane with all the authority of god himself.
"We fight as equals, or you run. Those are your only options."

Ysane grunted and let Haunmei fall into the buffer of her own chaotic mind. Twisted, convoluted thoughts poured into Haunmei's own mind, whether it wanted to or not. When something tries to go into the mind of another, the two share thoughts, no matter how powerful one is over the other. The ploy was designed to confuse Haunmei to lose itself within her mind. The thoughts entering the naginata's mind would have drove anything mad, even another god, if it didn't retreat soon. They were the truths behind all truths, the underlying principles of chaos, and all that fun stuff.
"Reinforced probabilities?" Ysane looked at the building reforming. Not even so much as a freak gust of wind. "You have no talent for this. Chaotic probabilities is an art. There was exactly a zero percent chance that a building, alread fallen, would go against gravity to reform itself. Perhaps a one in a million chance that the rubble would rearrange itself if it had fallen from the sky, which is acceptable, I guess.
"There was a negative chance that Insanity would have turned back into a dove if forced. He is a being of pure magic, not a mere animal like you think. Transforming Insanity falls outside of probability, as it is his own free choice to transform or not.
"And you demons, die." With a wave of her hand, all the demons that had crawled up were consumed with black fire, incinerating them instantly. No matter how fast Diamond was, she would not be able to stop the magic from happening, nor would she be able to recreate them. The easiest way to revive something from the dead to full life was to sacrifice another life. There was no other way around it. Time, too, could not be turned backwards using just probabilities. For time to be shifted, things needed to be set up, the easiest situation involved Sario rips, which involved massive energy discharges. Probability allowed those, but only after some time, during which they could be stopped.
"What do you propose? I come at you with my dove, Chaos, as my sword, only for you to 'reinforce probabilities' as you so disgustingly put it to transform my beloved into a mass of energy, so you can easily cut me? Maybe you could disable my mind with your weapon, then kill me as I lie, paralyzed? Or you could send the thousands of chain links at me, taking the one in a hundred chance that you hit with each one while I undo that probability, but because of the amount of attacks, you can still hit me? What do you propose as equal? Perhaps we settle this as barbarians, and you and I take up wooden clubs and batter each other until the opponent can no longer feel, but oh wait, you, being the ignorant brute you are, are still able to fight after being bludgeoned like a chicken with its head cut off," Ysane spat.
"You say you want honor, yet you create situations in which you have the upper hand at all times. Hypocrites are one thing that digust me as much as disrespectful people."

"Chose a weapon, come and fight me, and I shall have no reason to change probabilitys."Diamond stated simply. "By forcing your bird to resume its origional form, I simply convinced it that the order had never been given. Though you have destroyed the demons, I could easily bring them back, be re-enforcing the probability that you had never attacked. Though it would be pointless for me to do so. And though the building was demolished, by simply re-enforcing the probability that the pokemon had moved around it instead of destroying it, I allowed it to stand once more." Diamond took up a ready stance, the naginata slanted down by her head, pointing towards her toe, the beating blade facing outwards, towards Ysane. "Chose a weapon, use no trickery, and fight me goddess. And I shall have no reason to take any other action than fight back." The naginata shook in her hands, various glyphs designed to absorb the power of Ysane's trickery glowing around the shaft. "And this, the greatest of all naginata's, was designed by a god to kill gods. You think any trick you try would be effective against the weapon itself? All you can do, is do your very best to kill me."

"Like I said, you do not reinforce probabilities then, human. Probability cannot be used to turn back time, and that is how you undid what I had done. But very well, we will fight. Chaos."
Ysane threw off her white gown, letting the wind take it to the tree, where it hung, ready to be put on again. She had been naked underneathe the gown, but her body was only revealed for a moment, as Chaos melted into a blob of white energy that enveloped its master. Another second later, Chaos hardened from its energy form into a shining white armor.
The armor was solid and reinforced around her chest and back, yet still followed her curves, ornate symbols and patterns flowing throughout it. Strands of chain mail fell from the bottom of the chest armor, connecting to the groin piece. Shin gaurds were connected to the groin piece by strands of chain mail as well, and they were also white and covered with ornate gold patterns. On her forearms were gauntlet of the same style as the rest of the armor, a single strand of chain mail connecting it to the shoulders of the armor. A white blade extended from the back of the gauntlets past Ysane's shoulders.
Ysane held in her hand an oversized shuriken with four blades, each at a right angle to the next. The center and about a foot out on each blade was where the weapon was handled. It too was pure white, like her armor.
"You have my word that I will not use any 'trickery' in this fight. Even if you don't believe me to be a god, a goddess never goes against her word, no matter what she stands for. But how do I know you will keep your word?"

Enos glared at Insanity, and let his mind relax. He started muttering a prayer to himself, his clothes fluttering in the wind. A golden glow began creeping along his skin, illuminating the area as he began grinning widely. "I'd say it's pretty foolish of you to come after me."
He slammed his hands into the roof of the building, ripping out a chunk with the ease that one hefted a pillow. He then lept clear of the building, hurling down the gargantuan chunk of rubble. As the rubble descended, he attempted to land feet first on top of it, hopefully striking Insanity.

As the rubble descended, Insanity was suddenly ungulfed in a massive ball of fire. As quickly as it had appeared, it dissipated, leaving the ground around the being black. In the middle of the circle of burned grass was a muscular humanoid demon. It curled it's basketball sized fist, thick spikes suddenly pushing out of it's knuckles, then pulled back.
Insanity quickly brought its fist forward. While in mid swing, its fist became engulfed in fire. The being finished the punch perfectly timed to hit the rubble on impact.

Enos was sent hurtling by the punch, debris bouncing off of him and his clothes like rain. He stood up, stepping with his left leg several times to test the injuries. It was tender, but no severe damage had been dealt. He rushed the demon, his golden aura intensifying as he curled his fingers into a mighty fist. He bent his knees and then sprung at it, grabbing for its throat and then attempting to strike in the jaw with a blow that could decapitate a normal man.

Flames once more engulfed Insanity, but this time only around the neck ad head. Again, they quickly disipated, but rows upon rows of spikes were now sticking out of the area. Insanity smiled sinisterly as it watched Enos make a grab for its neck. Without waiting for contact or not, as it didn't care, Insanity pulled back for its own punch with its spiked hand, aiming to punch the fist that Enos was pulling back.

Enos adjusted his position, trying to pull away as his foe transformed. His hands met spines, though, puncturing the flesh and leaving wounds. He kicked away, landing forty feet back. He examined his hands. Both had several deep puncture wounds. Nothing permanent, but they would slow him down.
Enos decided to avoid another issue with the shapeshifter, and grabbed a nearby automobile. He ripped off a tire, threw it at the ground, and then set the vehicle down. He then tore off the driver's side door, and flung it like a frisbee, aiming for Insanity's throat. These two actions completed, he then jumped into the air, kicking the car with all of his might. The vehicle went rolling along the ground, spraying sparks as it went. Though he doubted he'd cause any serious damage to Insanity, it would buy him time to catch his breath and think. He watched the tire's trajectory, making sure it would land roughly where Insanity was presently located.

Insanity watched as the things came towards him. Quickly, it crossed both of its arms over his chest, tucked its head down, and changed its footing to a more steady stance. The car door hit its wrists, but the metal buckled and fell. A moment later, the car also hit its arms, pushing the creature back several yards, its clawed feet digging into the ground creating a long trench.
'What is your fear... Insanity thought. Insanity's "special" so to speak was that it usually transformed into the shape of its opponent's worst fear. Thus, it had been analyzing Enos the entire fight, watching his moves and how he reacted. All of the exchanges had been initiated by him, showing his bluntness. He obviously had little to no fear of death, nor injury for that matter, since he attempted to grab the throat of a shapeshifter. Pain didn't seem to bother him since he shrugged off his torn up hand rather quickly.
But it did watch that random tire rather carefully. Precision. A character trait. It wasn't much, but it was something to work with. Insanity decided to wait a while longer before shifting again. Fear was an art after all, and art takes time and patience.

Enos glared at the "dove", surveying its structure up and down. It was a shapeshifter, and considering its lack of a berserk rush, had to be very intelligent. Shapeshifter tended to be either stone dumb, or brilliant. They either did it instinctively and reflexively, or they needed a large brain to control all the different possibilities. On top of the fact that it was rather intelligent, it also seemed to be very resilient. It had time to plan out each and every move, if Enos didn't beat it down fast and hard. With a single glance around, he had a plan.
He rushed a nearby home, tearing off the storm door. He spun it at Insanity much like the car door before, an audible whoosh as it cut through the air. He tore off the door, throwing it randomly towards Insanity, over his shoulder. If it hit, good. If not, then it wasn't a big loss. Enos punched a hole through the brick wall of the house, and began scooping up bricks, hurling large armfulls of them at Insanity, one after another. Enos then charged into the living room, through the gap he had just made, and grabbed their huge, over-stuffed sofa. He hurled it at Insanity, hoping for it to block it and let it explode into a cloud of fluff. Finally, he plowed through wall, into the attached garage. He grabbed the family's car, and rushed through the garage door without halting. He sprinted for Insanity, jumping up and attempting to slam the vehicle down on the creature's head. If this failed, he'd need to think of some method other than "Smash it very hard."

Insanity was dumbstruck by the attack. 'But, why?' it asked itself. It pondered for a couple milliseconds without coming up with any conclusive reason then prepared for the onslought of stuff. Like last time, it just crossed his arms over his torso, but this time, it changed the form and composition of his arms. Sheets of diamond violently protruded from its elbows then wrapped tightly around its arms, replacing the reptilian skin that was ther before. Its arms grew broader as well, creating a large shield that managed to cover most of its front.
The door simply glanced off Insanity's new diamond shoulder. However, a good amount of bricks hit the shapeshifter right on the shield. When a particularly dense clump of bricks hit the shield, the shifter had to take a step back to absorb the blow. Finally, the sofa smashed right into his arms. It broke in half, the fluff not really exploding everywhere, but indeed going out. Insanity shook it off then looked at Enos flying at him with a car. Without much time to think, Insanity decided to try the trump card that usually stopped most attacks.
With a gross sounding squshing sound, the demon form changed into that of a little girl, a scared expression on her face, clutching a teddy bear tightly.
