Note: Established that Mo's rage has lasted only half a day. Based at the highest point in Aura.
Against the calming golds and blues of Aura, Mo was a monstrosity of purple, red and black. Of course, he'd never really fitted the atmosphere of the Angelic home realm, but it had never stopped him before. It certainly wouldn't stop him now. Everyone needed to see, Mo needed to prove his speculations right, and free everyone. This was the only way. This might just be what she wanted, but Mo would be damned if he let her get away with anything else after this. He knew what he'd thrown away this night.
Baransu was nothing but rubble and screams, smoke rising as the festival was shattered and lives were destroyed. Minato suffered a similar fate, there was nothing there big enough to catch his attention, but Mo did a number on the docking town, setting it ablaze. Half of Rycora, the vast forest that stretched and coated much of Sohul had been turned to ash. Then Mo turned his attention skyward. He buried his emotions down deep, flying under the cover of his Frozen Time magic to cast himself up to the two sky realms. And first, he went towards the red sky. Mo has crashed into his old home, shattering parts of Dranar as he stormed across it. He sent wave after wave of meteors, suns and black holes on Kurrayami and any Demon residence possible. Nothing would be spared. He needed to prove his resolve, that it went beyond his own view, that Mo would be indiscriminate in his destruction, so that she might grow curious.
Then, one more test. With Dranar burning a new shade of red, Mo turned and flew towards the invisible barrier between his old home and Aura. A barrier none could destroy for the two thousand years it had been there. Mo stopped, raised his head up, and threw all he had at it. Space magic earned it's name, being able to destroy any matter with it's might. With only a few strikes, the barrier shattered, Mo hissing as his prediction was correct. This was why she made Humans. She knew one day they'd grow powerful enough to break down the wall that signified peace between Angels and Demons. Why else would she create a race that only grew stronger as it developed? The creation of Humanity had been a recipe for disaster the moment they were made, but it was for the very purpose of disaster that they existed.
The wall shattered, and Mo pushed through it, straight into Aura, the red dust of Dranar beginning to mix with the pure white clouds of the Angelic lands as he flew passed. He didn't stop, in Aura, he left most of it alone, only crashing into and crushing numerous islands on his climb. Mo flew now, up and up, higher and higher to the highest point of Aura he could reach. Air was hard to find here, even the mighty dragon breathed heavier, and his wings struggled to find wind to catch on to keep him climbing. Eventually Mo landed on a small island, one of the furthest islands in Aura, a barren rock without even plant life on it. Mo perched there, glaring up into the bright orb above him. The Sun, golden in it's colour, but black to it's core. Mo took a moment to rest, he'd not stopped since kidnapping the boy, hoping that he was right about everything. Not because he wanted forgiveness for all this, but because he knew no one else would be willing to do the same should he fail.

Tenshi should have known, she should have done something sooner, from the truth about Shinda and Akvan all those years ago, to his involvement with others... The disappearance... Everything pointed to him doing something like this. She was 'leading a party' to find him, Tenshi having known Mo best, but she quickly cut away from the group, needing to face him on her own, to find his reasoning behind why he's done this. It was easy following the destruction, and even easier to understand where he was going once the barrier was broken... it was almost like he wanted her to follow, the way his destruction went. Looking upon him as she finally found her old friend, Tenshi watched for a few moments, trusting him enough to know she wont attack if he doesn't so far, as much as she knows she should. Standing next to him, almost in tears at what he's turned into, Tenshi only had one question. "Why? Two Thousand years we protected the humans, gave them life, why take it away now?" An answer she wasn't sure she wanted to know, but one she knew she needed all the same.

He wanted a witness, and he knew Tenshi would follow him. Of all the things Mo had to do to get here, he regretting lying to Tenshi. She was kind, oblivious, but kind. Hearing her voice didn't get a response at first, Mo was catching his breath, and he wasn't reckless with the magic he was using. The collar flared with magic, and he knew using up all of that boy's magic would mean he'd die, and Mo couldn't lose this power yet. So a few minutes rest would do for now. "You gave them life, Tenshi." Mo grumbled, voice low and ominous in his larger form. "I never trusted them, there was something wrong about their existence. Whilst we can only become so powerful, Humanity seems to have no limit, and for that, they are dangerous. All this time I've tried to keep them weak." Mo huffed, eyes finally meeting Tenshi's, studying her face. "I suppose a confession now will change nothing." He muttered.
"For the last two thousand years I have done everything in my power to go against her wishes, and make sure her little Humans never reach their potential. I destroyed any clans they made that seemed too strong, I granted Demons powers beyond our limits to control Human numbers. Did you really think Exitium gained his powers on his own initiative? Or that Mitasu was summoned because I wanted to meet an old friend? Or that I wanted to stop Shinda by forcing a Sun child into his reborn body?" Mo asked, almost breaking into a bitter chuckle. "No, of course not my dear Tenshi." Mo grumbled, "All of it was because of me, because this needs to happen. We are not her puppets, and we will not bend to the will of her powers."

Tenshi shook her head... There was no way, she didn't believe it. "This is all against the sun goddess?" It didn't make sense really, how so much has happened for a reason none would understand. "The sun goddess allowed us to live, she created the humans as a means to allow the races to get along... She never interfered with things, nothing beside creating them... There's nothing wrong with their existence." Tenshi honestly didn't know what to say, if she missed this for over two thousand years, all of it from the beginning. "We never bended to her will, we lived and remained grateful to her for that... And how are you much better, making a poor kid bend to the will of your own power... Killing innocent people of not just humans but Angels and Demons alike all for what? Some petty little belief you have? Because once it may have been shared, now people are going to stand up against you..." A truth undeniable, if Mo did this years back, he would have many follow, but now they were united, now was too late, and it just meant unnecessary death and destruction. "Everyone has potential, Humans are just one of the many races able to achieve greatness, and I hope they prove it to you."

Mo's jaw clenched as Tenshi replied, sharp teeth clamped together. There were reasons why he never involved her, and this was the main one. Because his lovely friend still was blind to the truth. He let her finish speaking, let out all of her confusion. He'd regretted it when Tenshi continued on, getting more irritated by her simple views. A part of him had expected more from the ex-Queen, a better understanding of Mo's motives. After all, they'd been friends since Mo could remember. His tail smashed into the earth just behind Tenshi, large head moving close to the smaller Angel as he snarled. "How could you be so BLIND, Tenshi?" He growled.
"Petty little belief?! We live in a cruel world, and the truth is all around you if only you weren't so ignorant to it!" Mo began, slowly lifting his head away. "Two thousand years ago, for no reason, both our races lost something essential for living. We could no longer create new bloodlines, for no reason, we began infertile. I've done research Tenshi, whilst you were around thinking the world was better, I researched. It is not possible to naturally lose the ability to procreate, we were cursed." He explained, then growled again. "How can you explain the coincidence of how after this change almost brought us to extinction, Humans suddenly appeared, and their souls would become ours when they died? Did you believe it was part of her mercy? We are her toys Tenshi. She wants nothing from us but entertainment, and what better show is there than conflict?"
Mo took a deep breath, his anger was rising, and he didn't want to crush Tenshi with his rage right now, he need her to witness this. "I will give her conflict." Mo muttered. "The only way to defeat a god who survives on destruction is to become one myself. I am the only one who can show you all the truth. Because you, Tenshi, you are one of her creations, like those Sun children, more beacons of her need to kill. She created you, the first race, and because of it, you just can't believe she's truly evil. But Demons, we created ourselves, our existence is to rebel against her, and she fears us for it. I know she does, why would she lock the strongest Demon in a realm all alone for two thousand years if she didn't fear what he could have done to her?" Mo asked. "She made a mistake in creating Humans, giving them the opportunity to ascend in power. Because I'm going to use that very power against her. Humans have proved their potential to me, I've seen them grow strong, and now, I will use the power that took generations of Humans to perfect to achieve something truly great. I will free this world."

"What's all that going to gain Mo? Freeing a world by destroying it? The only thing you will achieve is your own destruction as your so blind to the truth. You cant just become a god..." Tenshi knew deep down whatever she said wouldn't work, Mo too far gone and for too long... Anything she says now would just fuel him, and yet she knew she couldn't stop, she had to try, try and make her friend see reason to his ignorance. "Let her fear, if she was truly evil as you so suspect then why has she done nothing before? So what if her aim was to slowly kill off our races to begin a new one. We prove it wrong, as we have done for so many years. And you forget she helped create you too, gave you the possibility to be here today and dammit Mo... Stop being so blind to what you could have if you ignored all that. If you just shun away from these petty believes as I said. Entertainment or not, your just fuelling that, killing people, making people fear you..." Tenshi didn't know what to say, the shock of it all too much, but she knew she wouldn't help him, that much was certain. "I'm not helping you with this Mo, people of all races will rise against you, and you will fall... I beg you my friend, stop this before its too late, I cannot lose another I care for..."

Mo growled, but gave Tenshi an intense yet understanding look. "You are right, I can't truly become a God. Because real Gods don't exist. Only beings with enough might and enough supremacy to consider themselves above anyone else. She is one of those beings, and I will prove it to you." Mo stated, breaths growing deep once more, the Dragon calming slight from his rage. He never meant to harm Tenshi in this, or the world. But, a sacrifice had to be made, for the better. A better world he hoped his friend could see. Once Mo was done, Tenshi would realise the shackles the Sun Goddess had around the Angels legs, just as Mo removed them forever. "Did she help us?" Mo growled, giving Tenshi a long look. "Tell me old friend, when she decided that you and I would become rulers of our races, did she ever ask for our permission? Did she ask us if we wanted to become immortal?" Mo didn't need an answer. Because he was there, he knew their titles were forced upon them both. As was their immortality.
Mo shook his head, "We have been powerless against her for so long. Only now do we have the chance to use what she allowed against her. And I can't ignore her, Tenshi, I can't ignore this world where we're merely her toys." Mo shook his head more violently, eyes closing for a moment.
"I never wanted to kill anyone... but sacrifices must be made. When this is all over, when she's gone, the world can change itself. We can all carve our own fates, nature can finally take hold and show this world compassion. Our world needs to be rested in the arms of someone, or something that knows to keep it safe, and it's not her... it's not me either, perhaps in good time, the world can learn to stand on it's own." Mo explained, looking up. The Sun was right above him now, a perfect distance. He took a deep sigh, "I'm sorry Tenshi, it's already too late to change." Mo replied, one clawed hand moving to touch the gem on his collar. It had cooled down now, so he wasn't worried about sapping some more energy from the boy. Mo sucked in a breath, and opened his maw. A ball of flames appeared. Yellow at first, and then it slowly grew. Mo tuned out any of Tenshi's begs as he charged up his strike. The ball grew more, turning from Yellow to Red, then to White. And then back once more, to a glistening golden Yellow, similar to the Sun itself. And it was massive, almost as big as Mo. Just as he felt it might explode, Mo tossed his head up directly towards the Sun, and let it go. The Yellow ball of fire rocketed up through the sky, the thin air causing it no friction in it's ascent. "Let me prove this to you." Mo muttered, as he watched it fly directly towards the Sun. It got closer, and closer, until Mo could hardly see it against the other bright light. Then, when one might expect it to vanish, it hit something. Something before the Sun. The entire sky, from end to end, flashed like a magical barrier being hit. Everything was silent, before the world shook with a titanic explosion of sound, like a low pitched scream of pain. Even Mo winced from the scream, eyes closing to try and tune it out. When it ended, ears ringing, Mo looked up. And he saw his proof. The Sun had gone. Mo saw as it just faded back into nothingness, leaving the sky to grow dull and dark very quickly.
"No true Goddess can be attacked... do you still believe I'm wrong?"
