Deviant fell out of the portal into his dark castle's courtyard, landing on his feet. He'd gone on a rather extended trip to hell to express his displeasure with Lucifer. Sadly, Lucifer spent a couple of months kicking his ass instead. The big man himself was slamming at the portal now, yelling at Deviant. Deviant just stuck his tongue out at him, and shot a Red/Black energy blast back through the portal. "FUCK YOU!" He yelled, then started walked out of the courtyard, and back into the castle. After going so long without blood, he really needed to kill something.

Aurora stood in the shadows of the castle, he had found this place some time ago, he needed somewhere to lay low for awhile, the adepts, Prime and others would be after him by now. But they didn’t understand, they thought he was evil but he in fact wasn’t so much. Yes he now craved for battle, and yes he could now use dark magic, but that didn’t make him bad. Well Aurora thought so anyway.
A figure walked past, missing Aurora is seemed not surprising really, and it was dark. The figure he knew though, someone he had battled before, one of the only people who had got away from him alive in fact. He stepped out from his hiding place.
“Hello Deviant, fancy seeing you here.” Aurora commented.

"Yes, indeed." Deviant said from behind Aurora, the shadowy figure that was his doppleganger fading away. "Fancy seeing you here." He echoed. "What brings you to my humble home." He asked politely.

“A little this and a little that,” Aurora said, “Mostly looking for people to kill and somewhere to stay,” he added looking at the proper Deviant, before looking at his surroundings. “You?” He asked.

"Just finished getting my ass handed to me by satan himself." Deviant said, completely unabashed. "Maybe I'll try again in a few years. For the moment, however, I'm just in the mood to kill something. Maybe we should go decimate a random city. The other choice, of corse, is to step through the portal and fall into hell. Where everything that dies just gets back up so you can kill it again, save for when you steal its soul." Deviant said, narrowing his eye's. He could tell this was a different Aurora, a very changed man. He could be useful to Deviant in the future, as long as he had the back bone.

“A city it is, Satan actually hates me, and I’d be enslaved.” Aurora laughed. “But which one though?” He asked.

Deviant snapped his fingers, and suddenly they were both standing on the top of the Empire State building. "I dislike New Yorkers, lets start here eh?" Deviant said. Aurora could now plainly see that the sword, and indeed, the Dragoon spirit he once possessed were both gone. "I'll make a start." Deviant said, putting his palms together by his side. Red black energy flowed down his arms and into an ever greater sized ball of energy. "HA!" He screamed, bringing his palms forwards and straight out. The red black beam shot off like a cannon, knocking over a few buildings and killing those inside. Screams went up like sirens from everyone in view. Deviant closed his eye's blissfully, and listened. "Isn't it a wonderful kind of music?" He asked, blissfully.

“Indeed, it sounds… good, I suppose.” Aurora agreed, he jumped from the building, starting his descent, his cleaver out. He hit the floor, his cleaver, cleaving someone in half, and a crater exploded outwards from impact, knocking the foundations of the Empire State Building down, it started to tumble.
People ran screaming, and the NYPD tried to stop him, all in vain. Aurora laughed.

A sword came down on Aurora's back. He screamed in pain, writhing on the ground. Prime stood over him, a cold, yet loving expression on his face. He looked somewhat empty, the look of a man who knew he was dead, and had already accepted it. "Aurora, I'm sorry I have to take your very self away from you." Prime said sadly. "But I swore I would do anything to save you, and it seems this is the only way." Primes dragoon spirit shattered, and its power beat on the air. It would serve as the catalyst. Prime cocked his fist back, and punched Aurora in the chest. It passed right through, like molding clay. "Now." Prime said, into Aurora's horrified eye's. "We, are one."
Their forms morphed, changing like water, clinging to eachother until they were one form, one person, one soul. A fused being stepped out of the light, looking around with a mixture of Prime's and Aurora's features. He looked vaguely confused, them seemed to come to himself, and looked up at Deviant.

Auro his old shortened name, he would take that name again to honour Prime when they first met. Prime was indeed inside of him, but Auro felt mostly the same, but he could feel Prime there so at peace with himself. Auro looked up, to the one who had tried to use him, Deviant. He hovered from the ground and shot at him, his palms out stretched, both of there swords gone, disappeared. Azure energy balls were held in both hands.
Auro threw them, both hitting their target. Deviant was ripped to pieces, the two large balls exploded on impact, sending him back to hell. “Too easy, I’m more powerful than ever,” Auro commented to himself.

Primus grinned, at ease. The broken sword that lay behind him now seemed as though it was ordinary steel, drained of its power to give Primus shape and form again. Unlike his human self, Prime retained all of his memories, and all of Primes. His star was gone, yes, but he was still a force to be reckoned with. He lifted his head proudly, star bright white on white eye's looking towards the horizon. In Primus, angels had woven identity. In honor of Prime's sacrifice they'd given him a second life, a whole life, granting him memory of everything he'd ever done and been.
"I am Prime." He said slowly, discarding his half name. "And its good to be myself again." He said, grinning. His smile faltered a moment, and he looked down at what remained of his sword. He heaved a sigh. "I was fond of that blade, but I suppose I can make another one. I think I have more platinum dragon metal in the forge." He thought, then kicked himself. "Dammit! Auro has half my soul and he's the dominant one, I hope he doesn't feel guilty, I should go talk to him." Mist swirled around Prime's feel as he lifted himself into the air, and then shot off to New York, the site of his newborn friend.
He landed easily and casually leaned against a wall. "Hey Auro." He said, surprising himself and his old friend. "Bet you didn't expect to see me again did you?" He said, dropping him a wink.

“What did you do?” Auro asked, “You could have killed me, I would have died either way, but still could have killed me, and the other half of your damn soul, I’m lucky to be alive.” Aurora screamed at Prime, as he walked over. “What am I going to do?” he asked still screaming, “It’s taking all I have to keep the power in check, I let it out and everything in a certain radius will be destroyed!”

Prime twitched. "Well, if I hadn't, everything in a far larger radius would've been destroyed. Starting with earth, and spreading out across the universe and the adepts gains a foothold here, due to your careless fusion with a being that was beyond your control." Prime growled. "At least I am passive, brother. And think this over carefully, for I am your bother now." Prime said, ice coating the ground around him, jutting up in sharp spikes here and there. "As have you inherited my power, so I have inherited yours. We will struggle to hold it back together, and unleash it on our enemies with bloody smiles on our faces, as we always have." Prime said, standing up proudly. "No matter who the enemy may be."

“And what if our friends are fighting with us?” Auro said, “We hurt them when we unleash it?” His own powers going to work, and flames erupted from the ground swallowing the ice.

"Learn control Auro!" Prime said sharply. "Do not forget that I once held far more power than you do now! I made the universe ripple and water with my mere presence. If I could control that, hold it back, reign it in, than so can you!" Prime said, then added. "It may help if you use it, curb it. As I guarded the fabric of space, so to can you guard something. It may help if you invest your Power in an Object. One contained in that Object it will be seperate and of its own will, unable to break the barrier your mind creates." Prime suggested.

Auro nodded something to channel his power through. He concentrated for a few seconds before his whole body began to glow white, his white hair a tribute from Prime shortened and the whole fringe was turned black to symbolise Aurora. His gained a black tight tee-shirt, a black tight hoody covering it the sleeves rolled up past the elbows, head phones hung over the top, his trousers turned too skinnys. On his hands appeared to black leather gloves, the knuckles were decorated with platinum tips, to add the extra damage.
“There, the gloves hold part of my power. They help me channel it,” Aurora said before turning suddenly, a huge crackle of energy appeared and Kami stepped out. Auro scowled and turned walking away.
“What’s wrong with him?” Kami asked, looking offended.

"A combination of system shock and extreme dislike for all adepts likely." Prime said. Kami sent him a completely confused look. "Ah, well, you see, he'd just fused with half of my soul. The Prime you met. As you may already be able to tell, from the quite definatly non-elven features, I am not the half of Prime that you met at first. I am the other half, the godly half that once fueled his power." He said. "Watch."
He opened his fist in front of him, holding his palm flat, facing the sky. Moonbeams slowly distilled from the night sky, forming into a sort of silk that wove and twisted itself this way and that. Above his hand, a ten foot, white mithril blade formed. 1/4th of a foot wide, and an inch thick, it tapered suddenly to a rounded tip at the end. White oak covered the two section handle, which was guarded by a double basket weave mithril guard. The white silk wrapped itself tightly around the handle. "See?" Prime asked.
Aaron appeared, surfing reality. He saw Auro, and took it in, in a moment. "Dear god! You've even consumed your friend!" He cried, horrified. A bow of black lightning formed in Aaron's hands, spitting and crackling. "Die monster!" Aaron yelled, drawing back the bow, an arrow of black lightning materialising. He fired, draw and fired again. He surfed reality around behind Auro and fired one more, then again from above, once more from behind him. "I WILL END YOU!" Aaron yelled, incoherent with rage.

Auro sharply looked up and the voice and readied himself, he punched the first arrow away breaking it, before jumping the other. He landed with ease, sparing himself enough time to put his ear phones in, and pressing play on his IPOD, some heavy metal blasting out of it, getting him in the mood.
He turned to see the next arrow and Auro slowed everything down, he dodged it, just. The next two were easier though.
“Idiot,” he muttered to himself and launched himself off the ground flying towards Aaron. His two fists and himself burst out his azure aura, and Auro started pummelling Aaron from all sides.

Aaron took several hits, bit off a curse, and disappeared. Auro was fast, but Auro could surf reality, and you couldn't beat that. Suddenly it seamed as though a constant hail of black lightening was raining down on Auro from all sides, the arrows becoming increasingly more powerful as Aaron's rage grew.
Prime was watching the two fighters with interest. He didn't feel a need to step in at the moment, Auro could handle himself. After all, if you couldn't trust yourself, who could you trust? No, he'd hang back and see how it went. Once Aaron was in danger, then he'd step in and make things clear. Though he has to say, the kid was holding his own. If his attacks got any more powerful, they'd seriously sting.

“Enough.” Auro screamed his aura exploding stopping all attacks; he was getting very pissed off. Auro’s eyes blazed blue and the water particles in the air froze and exploded into millions of very sharp pieces.

Prime grinned fractionally, then teleported in front of Aaron. "Do as he says." Prime said. "I fused with he of my own free will. But don't ask me why I'm standing here now, the answer is so convoluted your head would explode from the bullshit factor." He said, smirking.

Auro dropped to the ground, and started to walk away only to find Kami in his way. “What do you want,” he asked, trying to get by her, just to be blocked.
“I need your help, with the Adept world. I need you to contact your father; he’s the only one who can help.” Kami snarled. Auro looked at her and laugher.
“You have to be kidding?” He asked, seeing she was not, “My father is dead, has been for years and the Adept World is doomed, forget about it,” he snapped and pushed past her grabbing her arm, and they both faded from view. They reappeared in his house in Dover. “Find my mother, she’s around somewhere.” Aurora snapped before heading to the basement, to the gym.

Prime faded away from the world, and faded back into existence in Auro's basement. "You know, I would've thought you'd head to our mansion, but I guess you wanted to help Kami out, even though your having racial difficulties at the moment." Prime said. "Even so, you don't have to be so cold to her." He looked thoughtful. "Anyways, we have some planning to do, so lets get to it eh?"
