Mo wasn't going to make this long. As much as he despised their existence, he had enough mercy to decide to make this quick. Painful no doubt, but quick. The village was easy to find, one of the only placed in Sohul not burning. Mo was easily hidden by the dark skies, even if the place was on high alert, they couldn't stop the Dragon from using Time magic to force his way in as a surprise. Mo froze time to get close, dropping low. He was surprised when after a certain point, his magic stopped, and he noticed time around him move again. And faces looked up to him, ready. Mo growled, taking no time to think on what happened, why his magic stopped working all of a sudden. One breath of flames was enough to light up the houses, and his weight easily crushed the biggest house. He felt his magic return to him after that, the one blocking it losing their concentration through the smoke and flames.
He roared, "Children of that Sun, your time here is over!" He growled, looking at the few he gathered, scared, but ready for this to happen. He snarled, "You are her blood, and therefore you are part of that monster! You are no Demigods, but monsters that she made to destroy us. Her puppets, closer to her than anyone else. And... for this world to recover, I must get rid of you." Mo added, sucking in a breath, burning anything left untouched. No one screamed, they were all born for fight, born for destruction. Some looked scared, but there wasn't one Sun child that didn't look ready to run. Mo had to give them credit for their determination at least. That credit didn't last long, as he sensed an attack coming, and swiped his tail at something coming from behind, sending the boy with white hair and a hat flying and crashing into the earth a fair distance away, bringing up dust behind him. Mo almost chuckled, "Do not fight this, it's your only fate left to die... those of you who still can." Mo commented, looking for the hardest foe amongst them.

Eira still jumped when the dragon landed, moving back slightly behind her siblings. She didn't fight, she didn't know how, and though she knew deep down she wanted to run, so wouldn't, not while the others were in danger. Even if she was a liability right now. She ignored most of what he said, trying to focus her magic onto the being to calm him, to try and stop the fight, but as a scream ripped from her throat at seeing Comet be thrown off like it was nothing, Eira knew she really was rendered powerless in this fight. She felt in this soul that no reasoning could be made how they fought against the instinct to destroy, and they all lived in harmony with the world, despite the rocky start to it all. "I cannot fight Void." A small whisper to her eldest brother. "And my magic is rendered useless against him, as is yours it seems..." She knew this fight was over before it began, even trying to be positive of the outcome she was frozen in place at such knowledge. But even with that, she slowly began to move towards her brother, hoping to comfort Comet while the others distracted Mo, knowing he needed it more then ever right now.

Void's plan would have worked if the only power Mo had was his magic. But, he was a Dragon, and fire was something that could easily break concentration. He'd worked hard to create the sphere around their home, to prevent anyone using magic once inside it. Everyone had kept well hidden, and all was going well until Mo breathed out and covered their home in flames. Void's house was hit, and easily burst, making him choke on smoke until he could barely focus on breathing let alone his magic. After that, Mo could do as he pleased. Void rushed out of his house, getting out in time to see Comet hit hard, impacting the earth with a painful noise as Mo knocked him away. Eira screamed, which made Void rush to her side, trying to catch his breath and stop coughing. She looked ready to break, and right now Void didn't know how to help that. They expected this attack to happen, because Mo was targeting something very specific, but it had been impossible to plan how to survive. None of them were strong anymore, Void only just held onto his magic, some couldn't use it at all anymore with the Sun gone. Void tried to look a little hopeful, giving Eira a quick hug, "We'll survive, I promise. Just keep anyone harmed out of danger, I'll try to draw him elsewhere so we can run." Void explained, letting his body turn into blue mist. Eteru form was hard to hold, but it at least offered a layer of defence from attacks. Made Void swift enough to run and climb up Mo too, which he soon did, after seeing Eira go to Comet. He clawed his way to the Dragon's face, aiming for the eyes. Almost striking them too, until his claws hit nothing, Mo having moved himself through Space to be a few feet away, and ready to let loose a breath of flames at point blank range.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The impact might just be like how it felt to get hit by one of Comet's attacks. Except this time it hit him, and it was horrible. Something broke, or perhaps many things broke. Comet couldn't bite down on his tongue hard enough to stop himself crying from the pain, it was worse than anything else he'd been through. He tried struggling to his feet, only to drop again. He'd rolled over at least, to see Eira nearby, coming to him. The boy dragged himself a few paces from the small crater he'd made in the ground to get to his sister, gurgling for some sort of comfort and coughing out blood. When she finally got to him, Comet had enough air to talk, and got through the urge to just cry. "W-w-what do we d-do E-Eira? H-h-he's too st-strong." Comet mumbled, wanting to clutch onto Eira if he only had enough strength. His eyes moved in time to see Void try and attack, and how Mo moved instantly, about to hit their brother directly. Comet had jumped straight to his feet just before Mo exhaled, about to rush over, when he lost feeling in his leg, and with one step forward, Comet dropped again, thankfully having his face hit the ground the moment Mo let loose the devastating purple flames over their older brother.

Eira almost burst into tears when she watched Void run after Mo, knowing his efforts would be futile. But she made sure she didn't, right now she had to focus on the others, keeping them safe and checking over them with the others fought. It was moments like this where she hated that she doesn't know how to fight, never having the want or desire to do so, and vowed that if she made it through this she would learn, she would make sure to do so. Skidding across the floor to Comet, checking over her brother for any injuries, she held him close in a hug finally letting some tears fall. "I don't know. I really don't know." She shook her baby brother in her arms for a second before letting go and looking over to Void just in time to see what Comet saw as he moved. Another scream ripped from her throat as she tried to both catch Comet before he fell, and stop herself from rushing over to Void. "VOID. NO!" Eira was shaking at this point as she looked to the others. Yasmin trying and seemingly failing to use her magic on Mo, trying to gesture her sister over to help with Comet, before Mo caught sight of what she was doing, while Rebi was crossed between the need to fight, and to look out for Luna. All Eira could do was shake her head and beg that this was a terrible nightmare that she would wake up from. Even if deep down she knew it to be true.

The one day Shinda wasn't there to keep them safe, disaster happened. Then again, if Mo was using Time magic, no doubt he knew today would be his best time to strike, whilst the old Demon wasn't there. But the moment Shinda heard screams, he stopping hunting and ran back, rushing as fast as he could, keeping low to try and make his arrival a surprise. Like anyone could surprise Mo anymore. Damn that boy, power had gone to his head. And whilst Shinda agreed that the Sun Goddess wasn't what she claimed to be, the world didn't need to be punished for it. Mo needed to be stopped, perhaps Shinda could do it, if he got the chance to attack. He got back to the village in time to watch the kids attack, exhausted at they were. Efforts seemed futile, what magic they could gather didn't do enough against Mo, he just countered it or knocked them away. Shinda snarled at Mo was so ruthless to these innocent kids, hurting them for what? Existing. Shinda ran closer to the nearest kids, Eira and Comet by the looks of it. He gave Comet a sniff, making sure he was alive, just injured. The blood around made Shinda nervous for his little God-kids. "Eira, you alright?" Shinda muttered, before turning his attention to the battle. "Your dad's late... Once he appears, this should be easy." Shinda reassured her, ruffling the girl's hair. "Until then, let the champion of Sohul show you how it's done." Shinda grinned. It was best to act happy, for their sake, because who knew how this fight would end.
Shinda rushed forward, leaving Eira to remain at a safe distance, the other kids soon running over to her. Shinda's first stop was the body, smoking from flames. The Demon wanted to pat them out, but the moment he touched the body, blue mist ran from his touch, leaving a slightly charred Void underneath. Shinda chuckled, "Neat little trick, Void." He commented, going to help the boy up before feeling something breath down his neck. Then a large purple fist came down towards Shinda, who twisted himself up, braced his legs, and took the whole impact of the Dragon's hit with ease. It almost cracked his armoured skin, almost. Mo was then pushed back by what looked like bindings made from golden light, with Akvan holding them steady. Chester was nearby, so she was the next stop. Shinda dropped Void off with her, grinning up to Akvan. "I hope you're ready for this." He called over. Akvan would smile, if his home wasn't being destroyed and his children threatened, but he did at least nod. It was enough encouragement for Shinda to charge at Mo, whilst he was being held back, to try and crack the weird gem thing around his neck.

Mo's presence was a bad sign, he was a being of destruction, able to take down the Sun Goddess herself, if he'd truly destroyed her anyway. Akvan knew a fight he couldn't win, being immortal had nothing to do with the outcome. Winning would be if he could make sure all of his children were spared, so Akvan was going to try his hardest to do so, no matter what probabilities screamed at him in his head. Having Shinda made things look a little better. He was fast, and knew how to fight giant beings like Dragons. He was built to fight, just like the Sun Weapon, and perhaps fighting together for once would give them better odds.
It slowly began to prove Akvan otherwise. Mo was hard to hit, he could reverse damage, blink out of sight, burn their skin, do anything to Akvan and Shinda. And they could do very little. The chains were Akvan's only good hit, everything else missed. And something made it all worse. He could take the damage, but Shinda didn't let Akvan get hit. Every time Mo struck with a claw, or tried to burn them, Shinda took the brunt of the attack, and Akvan could only see his friend's hard skin crack with the deadly heat so many times, before address it. He pulled Shinda along with him, out of the way of one of the miniature suns Mo created, forcing the Demon to sit still as Akvan tried healing a few of the wounds. "What are y-you doing Shinda? I-I can take the hits!" Akvan explained. Shinda took a deep breath, looking Akvan in the eye. "But they still hurt you, I can see it... And I promised I wouldn't let you get hurt again Akvan... it might not be a promise I can keep, but I can try." Akvan stared for a while at Shinda, before the roar of their enemy brought him back. He swallowed, "If you die Shinda..." Akvan warned. His friend chuckled. "Then I'll get to see Sayo again... but I won't die here, I have too much to lose." He replied, trying to give Akvan confidence. But it didn't really work, not when Akvan could see the wear this battle put on the old Demon. He gave in, because they needed to move to stop Mo's advance, but Akvan kept a close eye on Shinda, his only eye, neglecting to leave one for himself.

This fight would be easy. Mo already predicted they'd be weak from the lack of sunlight, he'd learnt plenty about their kind when looking after Akvan's crystallised form. Mo had prepared for this for many years, and prepared to make it last only a few moments. Many scattered after his assault, and the ones to remain didn't take long to subdue. Then someone else approached who wasn't a being reliant on the Sun. As Mo's fist hit something hard, he snarled, looking down to Shinda. The Demon that adopted him once, that showed Mo he was much more than just a tiny rodent Demon. He helped Mo find the power to be so strong, to be as strong as a Dragon, and he'd taught Mo to never give up on what he thought was right. And those words, Mo would follow to the end. He'd never give up on what was right, which was why the Dragon planned on spilling his Father's blood today. He would have done so much sooner, if the Sun Weapon formally known as Akvan didn't intervene. Together, they were strong, to a level where it was becoming irritating. Mo would block or avoid any hit they threw his way, but they didn't go down. One of them was immortal, the other was built to take damage. Mo knew it wouldn't be easy. But he was confident he'd win, there was nothing either possessed that Mo knew could be him. There was no power left on this world that could best Mo.
It took only time. Mo could see wear in Shinda, could see his old Father begin to tire, and the damage began to appear across his armoured skin. As much as Akvan tried to heal, or take the hits himself, the old Demon would take them instead. There was a frustration growing between the two, and Mo feasted upon it. The moment Akvan decided to put all of his attention towards Shinda, Mo attempted to strike Shinda with his tail, knowing Akvan would try to prevent it. And sure enough, the Sun child got in the way, taking the hit, letting it carry him back a few paces. And, it left an opening for Mo to meet Shinda head on. Mo smiled, Shinda looked fearful as his friend was knocked away. In that time, Mo launched forwards, catching the smaller Demon in his claws and pinning him down, chuckling slowly. He released some magic around them, until flames froze in place, and the world stopped for all but Mo and Shinda.
"You're beyond this world Shinda..." Mo growled, not letting his grip on the Demon go. "Old and beyond uses, it would be best for you to die." Mo added. His joy was gone, this kill wasn't one Mo looked forward to. But, it had to be done. "Tell me though, before this ends... why do you live?"

Mo had gotten so much stronger, he was beyond a level Shinda could handle anymore. He knew this was brought on by himself, Shinda was the only true evil in the world, what was left to try and continue his work were things he'd set in motion with his actions. Mo existed because of him, this being that believed destruction was the only way, was a child Shinda had brought up to have such views. It was his mistake, which was why he planned to pay for it. At first, he thought he could take out Mo, but, that rapidly became less of an option as Mo proved himself too strong for the duo to handle. So Shinda's options faded away, his only choice now was to try and do some damage, anything to stop Mo.
Then Akvan got hit, and Mo forced Shinda to the ground, freezing time around them. For a moment, the Demon struggled, but soon gave in, a smile of knowing on his face. "Perhaps I am." Shinda replied, with the chuckle of an old man. "And it would. I've longed to die the moment I saw the consequences of my actions. When in Purgatory, death was all I dreamed of. I want to see Sayo again, and my old family... I was hoping I could introduce you to them." Shinda replied, wincing as claws dug into his skin. "But I see now, it's no longer an option." He added, hissing in pain. Shinda took a breath, "You're old too, you know. And I can see how time has effected you, little Mo. Can't say it was for the best but.... I am proud of you still. Growing so strong, despite how small you once were." Shinda said.
He swallowed hard when Mo asked him why he lived. Shinda had to smile a sad smile. "Because I have people to live for. Nieces and Nephews that I adore... family that I still want to protect. But most of all... I live because I work towards the day I can meet Sayo and my old family again, and tell them how sorry I am. I live... to earn their forgiveness." Shinda explained. The claws around him tightened, they pierced skin, and in some places, they scraped across bone. Shinda winced, waiting in this silence for Mo's reply. The boy was quiet, studying his Father, acknowledgement to those curious eyes of his. Then the Dragon bowed his head a little, "Then... consider it earned." He muttered, and squeezed. Shinda would go quietly, if that were possible. But the pain was immense, sharp claws cut through his flesh, snapping bone, rendering Shinda's insides crushed. And the Demon howled from the pain, whilst Mo retracted his claws, blood and bits of flesh pulling off Shinda as he removed them, and stepped back. Shinda was left trying to breath, surprised he was still alive, but begging for it to end. Because it hurt, not just the pain, but the image of Mo, looking a little lost. A little moment of doubt in his mind, of that love and longing he'd once felt towards Shinda, before it faded away. And Mo sighed, turned, and flew away, time coming back to normal around him as he did. Shinda was left amongst the burning remains of the village, struggling from the pain, praying for a release at last from this prolonged life he'd lived.
