They weren't a perfect and all happy family, but to Void they were all everything. Meinu, she'd done something very bad, and what made it worse than just Void not noticing this earlier, was that Meinu was also completely betraying her own family. Attacking them too. Void tried not to cry, but it was hard. This was little Meinu. The first light of hope Void had in his life, when the world had felt so scary and lonely for the young Sun Child. It hurt more than any physical pain to see her so... evil. Meinu taunted them, explaining how things had happened. Then she tried to hit Eira, this time Draiko made a move. Although that move was to shove Void in front of the string, nullifying the magic with his body. Void wanted to yell at Draiko, but the move had been clever, and he could see Draiko was already fuming, ready to unleash a storm inside this hall. Then Void also felt that anger hit him, that Meinu wanted to manipulate and use the others. Like little Comet or Cory, or hurt their parents. "Draiko, stay close to Eira and Mother, don't let them get hurt." Void ordered, almost a snarl to his voice. He gave Meinu one last pleading look, the kind that used to always work, before it faded. "I don't want to lose any of you, but I can't just let you take anyone away Meinu... It's... my job to protect them." Void stated, before taking a deep breath. After what sounded like a thunderous boom, Void's body began turning into light blue mist, arms growing a little, hands turning into claws. Two tail like appendages appeared behind him, along with pointed ears. Void's Eteru did indeed resemble Grey thing, an emotional attachment if anything, but it was tough, and built to fight. Once ready, Void made a charge towards Meinu, taking a swipe with his misty blue claws in a hope of absorbing her magic to stop her doing any more damage.

Meinu gave a smirk to Void, before replying with a laugh. "Protect them? Explain to me where Comet is right now? What exactly is happening to Cory this very moment, I have some powerful friends out there now you know... Oh and precious Luna... Hebi must be having a field day being left with no curious sister, protective twin nor older brother protecting the others... Such a shame big brother decided to come here instead..." Meinu watched as he brought out his Eteru form, this being exactly what she wanted, the one moment that she could actually have some fun. Dodging his attack, knowing one hit and it will all be over, Meinu aimed a swipe with both hands to the ceiling of the cave, letting the rocks tumble and fall around them, while she worked out how to bring the others into the party, because while she cant hit Void, she can mother, Eira and Draiko. "I would be careful brother... You may be near indestructible, but mother and our precious siblings aren't..." There was no better way to rile him up then to use the others as bait... And that's exactly what she did when grabbing Eira by the neck and holding her hand to it, keeping the younger sister locked in place. Other hand slowly cutting the floor under Void, ready to send him crashing below without his knowledge, something to weaken him, allowing her to attack as she needs to.

Note: Perhaps Meinu's next reply, she could see Hebi approach, and help out with immobilising Draiko or something? Up to you Void's ears pulled back, to Meinu's words. Hebi as well, had he really betrayed Void as well? That meant everyone else really was in trouble, unless Mori as doing something about it. He couldn't let Meinu's words stop him now, despite how Void used to always listen to his siblings, he just couldn't. Mori would keep them safe, safe from Hebi or anyone, and then... after they'd stopped Meinu, they could all look for Comet, or Cory. They'd all be happy again, Void was certain of it. But, his feline expression didn't improve. He still looked miserable as he attacked Meinu, skidding to a halt as she dodged it, hearing the ceiling crack above him. Some early rocks hit Void, but they just bounced off his ethereal armour, the others he had to dodge or destroy, distracted for the few seconds Meinu needed to reach Eira and the others. She had a hand clutched on Eira's throat, making Void stop, in case this was a threat, one more move and she'll slice it open, sort of thing. But in stopping, the floor dropped beneath Void's cat-like legs. One claw reached out, barely grasping onto the ledge of this sudden drop, whilst debris still hit him from above. Whilst Void's claws gripped well, he couldn't quite lift himself up yet, making him panic, staring over to Meinu, all the power she had, held tightly in one hand. "Meinu! Don't hurt her! Make this between us, sister!" Void begged over, panic still in his eyes, even as he saw a blur of silver. Draiko had his blade up to Meinu's next, silver winds spinning around his form as Draiko was just daring to create one of his sword-based storms appear. "Let her go, now, Meinu." He warned. Void finally got out of the hole in the ground, enough to just barely catch someone. His father, knocked back against the boy from one of the creepy guy's strikes. "Father! You alright?" Void asked quickly. There was a groan, and snap as bones replaced themselves in his father's body. "Exitium's stronger than I-I thought... S-so... tired." Father said, his body fading a little into mist, before solidifying. "D... Dammit. Void, I c-can't fight anymore. If you t-touch Exitium, it'll t-take his powers. D... Don't worry about your Mother, I'll k-keep her safe." Father instructed, before he vanished for a moment, Void seeing a small line of golden mist retreating back to Mother's ring, the magical energy keeping her safe glowing ever stronger. Void looked from Meinu and the others, to this Exitium, not knowing which move to make yet.

Note: Adding Cory into this, because Hebi, Meinu and Exitium Vs the others is a little hard to do when the kings also arrive.
Meinu gave a laugh as Void fell and pretty much begged, didn't he know that it would never work with her, she wanted all her siblings either enslaved or dead, so hurting Eira was something she would get to eventually. "If I don't kill her now, she'll just watch the others drop before she joins them brother." Meinu wasn't afraid of the sword from Draiko, not with Hebi making his appearance, it was funny how quick it can be to, how shall she put it, split the siblings. And with Cory in tow, Exitium would finally get his payment, and more so their chance to win. "Move that from my face Draiko, or I will take your precious twin with me, don't think I wont." Meinu could, all she would have to do is activate her magic in that split second he makes a move and both she and Eira would be taken down. Meinu gave a smirk when Father left, exactly what they wanted, now all she needed to do was hold down Draiko and Void while Exitium did whatever he needed to do to Cory. And keeping her eldest brother from him, giving a look to Hebi, Meinu moved back and shoved away Eira towards Draiko, allowing Draiko's sword to cut her a bit in the process, before jumping at Void and dragging him back down the hole in the floor, leaving Hebi to deal with the others, while Exitium does what he needs to.

Hebi was left with not a lot of actual jobs. He recalled Meinu coming to him with an offer, a way for Hebi to do what he'd always wanted. She'd predicted that dear Hebi wasn't just a sooth-saying Sun child, able to only put others to sleep. Meinu had guessed as Hebi's potential, and for that, he was eager to show off. She wanted a split, something to tear apart the siblings. Meinu didn't give Hebi much else. She assumed he would be smart enough to figure it out himself. And she was right, Hebi was smart, and cunning enough to pull this off. Comet had gone 'missing' through others into panic, and then mother too. It meant the big three were gone looking for her, the major threats out of the way. But Hebi still had to move quickly. He'd met with Meinu's employer, and approved of the Queen's plans. With alliances made, Hebi got to work. First was dear Luna, her help would be needed to make sure Rebi remained out of the way. Hebi just gave his younger sister a quick talking too, asking her to follow his, and Queen Emeri's orders. It was done before anyone could even think Hebi was being suspicious. After all, the only evidence of his handy work that was always visible were the red tints lefts in his victims eyes, and Luna never showed her sweet little eyes to anyone.
Hebi got to work with the others as well. He'd avoided Yasmin and Fawn, finding Cory and asking him if he wanted to be strong. And of course Cory did, more so after a little persuasion. But Mori began to get suspicious, demanding, as Hebi planned on walking off with young Cory, that he stop. Naturally, the cunning and skilful Hebi turned, and forced Mori to sleep before she could even raise a hand to grab one of her silly little arrows. It left him confident that none would follow him, so Hebi took Cory with him, following Meinu's instructions on where their other associate would most likely be. And it really was easy to find, just a giant ruin of a castle, yet full of bright souls, a cluster of chaos going on inside. Hebi quickly entered, the little snake smirking with amusement as Meinu's stand-off with Draiko, it wouldn't last, though Hebi didn't expect his sister to suddenly run, tackling Void and dragging him away. A smart plan though, Void was the only one able to stop what would happen next. Hebi chuckled, looking over to the one he assumed was Exitium. He sent Cory a look, "Here's the payment. I am Hebi, by the way. You should have heard of me. I'm the brains of this operation, the one making it even possible." Hebi introduced, walking over towards Exitium, Cory walking ahead to get there first. Especially after Hebi was stopped by the point of a blade, Draiko looking beyond annoyed on the end of it. Hebi chuckled, "You don't want to do that, Draiko." Hebi hissed, before staring directly at his brother's eyes, "In fact, instead, you want to destroy everything in your path, you want to kill everyone in your family, excluding myself... and Cory over there." Hebi ordered. There was a little struggle, but eventually, in silence, Draiko lowered his weapon, eyes turning a little red. Hebi expected Draiko to turn around and cut Eira in two, but instead, he glanced her way, and then like a gust of wind, the boy ran from the room, flying to a place with more collateral damage to begin his rampage. Hebi gave Eira a malicious grin, before looking to Exitium. "Cory, present your new master the gift." Hebi suggested, watching his little brother hold out the piece of his Sun crystal, what was left of it since his birth. "I'd suggest taking mother, and running." Hebi spoke, sideways to Eira, giving her another grin. It was a good suggestion, but didn't mean Hebi was helping Eira. No, it just gave him pleasure over the idea of being smarter, and stronger than her, letting his sister know her only option was to retreat.

Eira stood in fear when Meinu grabbed her by the neck, knowing that she wasn't kidding when she said she would kill her. Its something Eira has known for a long time, even if it only came to the open today. And she knew Meinu had something up her sleeve, and Draiko and Void would not be strong enough to stop it, and while Eira was stuck unable to use her magic as Meinu was already calm... It made her useless. Eira wasn't surprised when Hebi appeared, though she feared for her family's safety, especially Cory if they planned on using him. But she wasn't prepared for being thrown into Draiko's arms and pushed aside a second later to watch her twin run from doing as Hebi commanded, or watching Meinu tackle away Void. Eira tried to move to stop Cory from handing over his sun crystal, but knew deep down right now there was nothing she could do. And it killed her on the inside, instead she gave a slight nod to Hebi, knowing what he meant as she grabbed mother and puller her up as best she could before getting out of there. Void would follow, though she would stick around for a little just in case. And planned on how to get through this, even as she watched two blurs enter the ruins before she had chance to say anything, or she was too out of it to remember. Draiko had run who knows where, she would need to find him, hope Void would make it out in one piece as she tried thinking of a plan to save Cory, Comet and the others. "Father... What do we do? What can I do?" Eira was panicking, despite herself, unable to calm, and she hoped he would have the answers.

Akvan knew, despite his power and immortality, that this fight would go one way, as the strike against Exitium hit his magic hand, doing nothing. Exitium was too agile despite how thin he was to be hit with anything. And his blows were epic in proportion. Dead bodies would move to try and stop Akvan moving, whilst Exitium struck him with more deathly magic. In the end, Akvan was sent crashing back, towards the group of his children, worried for them now as well. After leaving Void with instructions, Akvan couldn't hold off his exhaustion, returning to the ring as his body dissipated. Chester was kept safe, body covered in a magic barrier. Akvan fought to prevent himself resting, desperate to help his children, fearing what Exitium could do if Void couldn't stop him in time. But there was nothing the Sun weapon could do. Right now, he could only get out of the ring if his wielder told him to by force. Which Chester would never do, much less considering she was unconscious. Akvan made sure he was watching things happen. Hebi coming along, Cory sacrificing himself willingly to Exitium as a weapon. Akvan tried to drag himself out there and then to stop it, but couldn't. Then they were moving, Eira taking her mother, and the ring, to a safer place. She spoke out to Akvan, which made him more determined to help again.
"Try to relax Eira. Stay away from the danger for a few more minutes, then I promise you I'll join you. We should go down to the Village, I fear that it's going to be targeted soon."
