Alex wanted to study the dead bird, yet before he got the proper chance, Falken bothers to interact with him. As the robot touches him, he pays no attention to his words as his attention was unremovable from the corpse of the scared beast. The hunter begins to daydream about all the unique and interesting ways he can examine the bird, hoping to find what make the creature tick, Looking again at the killing blow, the strange man begins to appreciate the work of his follower hunter. His skill and his power was both impressive and inspiring in his eyes. Yet before the weird man could find more enjoyment, suddenly his machine companion warns him of something in such a dire voice, that Alexander's attention switches focus. As he tries to figure out the source of the danger, he begins to fell a strong force puling on him, causing his feet to drag against the ground. At first slowly, but over time the speed goes fast and fast, eventually the force was so strong that Alex went airborne towards the direction of the pulling force.
Trying to prevent himself from being taken, he tries to search for a way to anchor himself against the powerful pull. Quickly, he point his finger to the ground and 10 wire thread needles emerge from each of his fingers and penetrate the ground. Once they dug a few feet deep, the tips of the wires thread needles spilt and spread, resemble something close to the roots of plants or trees. Alex's body stops and he finds himself being violently pull while at the same time being grounded by his wires. What is going on here... what or who is doing this...

Eve sat up, grumbling in pain. Her limbs were bent in the wrong angles, and her head hurt like she had just bounced it off a few thousand rocks. She could have sworn it was only a few dozen. She worked at beating her limbs into shape for a minute before stumbling to her feet. She felt like she had just drank an entire bar, or banged a thousand men without break. The best kinds of feelings. Her grin was a bit loopier than usual as she glanced around. She didn't see Garo, first seeing that Falken and Alex were together near the entangled corpse of the immense beast. She found the sights in the other direction far more distracting. An army of monsters, utterly massive. Bixies flew overhead, Yemen scrambled below, great black serpents slithered low in the air.
She took a step back in fear and confusion. She saw the beast just a moment before. There was no way it was alive. She had seen the hole in its head. It had to be that corruption, surviving even its host's death. She turned and tried to dash back, but she wasn't agile in the first place, and with her damaged body, she stumbled before long, landing flat on her chest. Fine. Final stand style it was, as much as she didn't intend on dying. She pushed her body from the ground, blood getting just a bit chillier when she saw Garo collapsed near the edge of his platform. She yelled to Falken and Alex with large lungs. "Alex! Make a safety net for Garo and trap your position! Falken! Work on a way to stop whatever's going on!" She paused for a second before giving them a smile. "I believe in you both. And don't you worry about me."
She fully stood, only to slump against a boulder, facing the approaching army. This was the best spot she could get. She would be hard to surround, although not impossible with flying animals. She was strong. She could hold out. A teleportation scroll in her pocket, a tool to instantly return to her home, lay forgotten. If she was alone, she'd be there already. But she had a team to protect. She readied every weapon at her disposal. She'd give them all the biggest hug when this was over. Even Falken. And especially Garo.

Falken grabbed the floor, piercing through a large boulder with his hand so he could anchor himself. The concentration of particles once again reached such saturation that the Infamous Mercenary didn’t even need to use his sensors to see them… still he noticed that not out of choice but out of lack of power, as his mainframe started shutting down not essential features to save energy. –Damn you to hell bloody bird! - Falken shouted in defiance as he decided his next move.
With everything he got left he pierced his feet through the same boulder as he got his hand out. Falken made an effort to shift the bullets, this time to a white box labeled “Don’t Touch”. –If you’re taking me, then I’m not going alone you bloody excuse for a God!- The Dual Wielding Angel of Death used his sink-or-swim option as the winds around him, being sucked towards Suzaku’s head injury, picked up speed.
The Nogami Chain Railgun was a powerful weapon even with conventional ammo, but Falken was a firm believer of “There is no Kill like Overkill” so he equipped it with many special ammunition. But when everything else failed, even those special bullets, he had to use the white box and start Sieg’s Sublime Salvo. A hyper sonic barrage of uranium depleted house busting bullets. A 5 seconds barrage was the most this weapon could take and Falken went the extra mile this time, knowing that it was him or the bird.
-EAT RADIOACTIVE TITANIUM! - He roared as he started shooting. His lack of unenhanced organs allowed him to resist the powerful radiation emitted by the bullets as each shot directly at the corpse of the Sacred Beast. He focused the fire but it was too late, the concentration of Crimson Energy was so high that even going to a 10 seconds full barrage, destroying the gun in the process, wasn’t enough. The energy of the bullets was siphoned into the vortex forming around the wound left by Garo.
The creatures started flying from all directions towards Suzaku, dragged towards the Sacred Beast against their will, almost as if the Crimson Energy they absorbed was the one pulling them in. The Yemen, Bixie and Fubai Longs were grotesquely compressed, ripped apart by the pressure of the crimson vortex around the wound of Suzaku. Falken could barely hold on to the ground, parts of his body, in particular the hand he used to shot the minigun were swallowed by the vortex, just like the gun.
Pressure increased around the vortex as it slowed down and started to get smaller. Slowly the energy got inside the corpse of Suzaku, who rose from its position spreading its wings with a victorious screech. Now its body wasn’t damaged anymore or necrotic, each of its feathers shone with inner light, golden and crimson flames surrounded the creature as it looked around searching for a target. Falken happened to be the one closest to it…. That didn’t bode well.
When before it needed to launch one of his most powerful attacks to make enough damage to Falken, now fully replenished Suzaku only swatted on his mighty wings at the Mercenary, hitting him so hard that his feet, still pierced through the floor for anchoring, stood in that location as Falken was sent flying across the battlefield until he crashed against a peak. The Infamous Mercenary only had on hand left, and it was pretty damaged. Blood dripped from his head as his wet hair covered his eyes.
Suzaku turned its attention to Alexander and shot the same attack as he did to Falken before, but this time around bigger, faster and meaner. A truly incandescent beam of divine flames, death by sacred Fire.

Alex was barely able to hang on, at same point the shoes and socks he was wearing flew off into the vortex along with his overall coat. Now observers could see the wire thread clips on his person alone with a special colt, which was beginning to get sucked up by the vortex, but Alex was able to put his hand on the handle before it flew out of its holster. As he holds to the important gun, the skin from Alex's bare feet begins to peel off and head towards the vortex. He didn't have much time left he thought when suddenly the vortex stops and his body falls onto the ground with a hard thump. He lift his upper body up to see a reborn Scared Beast and it was not looking to happen with them. After giving Falken the hurricane treatment, the dangerous deity has its eyes on Alexander himself. It releases an energy beam more massive and dangerous than the one that had obliterated the machine man before. Alex didn't have any choose in this situation, he lifts his legendary Colt and fires a single shot. The bullet launches from the barrel and makes quick contact with the energy blast and the force of the shot causes the part of the beam that was going to consume Alex to instead part around his body for the most part. Only the edges of the energy attack makes some minor contact with the sides his arms. Causing his first few layers of skin on both arms to disintegrate into nothing, and the pain makes the ugly man grunt in complete agony. Yet, the bullet wasn't going to stop by the initial contract, it continues to cut through a path from the bird's blast, aiming to travel through the mouth of the bird.
After the bullet is fired and his skin was taken from him from the energy attack, Alex's body falls straight down to the ground and his head crashes into the hard rocks in front of him, which pierces his face. Slowly a body of blood begins to form around the arms and feet of the hunter from the expose flesh and some drops begin to fall from his face to the ground. He wasn't in the best shape of his life right now, but if the bullet finds it way into the target's mouth, the bird wouldn't have the luxury of being able to heal right away like last time due to the special anti-regeration properties of the bullet. Yet, the energy blast might be strong enough to weaken the bullet's power and maybe even destroy the bullet, which would allow the energy attack to continue its proper path and slam his body with the force to turn his cells into dust. In any case, Alex wasn't in any shape to dodge one of those energy attacks and if the bird is able to launch another one or attack him before the 5 seconds are up for his Colt's cooldown time, then he wouldn't be surprise if this is his last moments. So this is how my life is going to end....

Eve was ready to fire upon the advancing beasts when she noticed they were in fact not attacking. A Fubai Long screamed miserably as it tumbled by. Something very different was happening here. She looked, seeing Falken go flying before the bird turned to Alex. She looked at her damaged legs and realized she'd never get to them before it ruined them both and picked Garo off of his perch. Time to do it the fun way. She dumped the cannonball from her cannon and once again poured an excess of gunpowder in it. She swung it towards the ground and prepared for more pain.
She took off with the rumble of a landslide, rocketing right at the bird. She extended her arm, letting the blade within free. She was a 200 pound cannonball with a blade on its front, aiming right for the beast's open beak. If it fired off another blast, maybe she could survive better than Alex, as will as inflicting something lethal on its face.

Suzaku started waving its massive wingspan rising up from the ground with unnatural dexterity, surely a beast of this size didn’t just depend on its physique to fly but also magic or divine energy, maybe the lack of them before was what grounded it. A stream of flames was left behind it, as some of its feathers fell and burst aflame the moment they touched the ground. The Sacred Beast screeched in anger as it swoop down from the skies like a mighty meteor focused in a single target, the incoming Eve. Suzaku opened his mouth and once again the incandescent breath of the Vermillion Bird surged like lava erupting from a volcano. Eve attack might deflect part of it, but the rest, if she didn’t move, could kill her, or at the very least maim the Huntress in horrible ways. Things seemed to be hopeless, made even worse with the realization that if they didn't stop the Mad Deity it would tear apart China not to mention break the Hidden World hiding.
Garo finally fell down the peak, hitting heavily against the rocks on his way down until landing, broken and bruised in the floor. Seemingly Eve was the only one who could still fight.
I NEED TO DO SOMETHING OR THE END WILL BEFALL US ALL. The next Suzaku thought as it gather all its remaining strength and sent it towards the Hunters, if its progenitor could empower creatures, maybe he could empower them to defeat him.

Alex tries to push himself up with he holds the Colt in one hand, but he slips on his own puddle of blood and finds himself once more face first on the ground. At first Alex is frustrated with himself right away, but after a while he begins to laugh in an out of control fashion.
He slowly brings his head up to see the situation before them, and begins to wonder if there was anyway to beat this thing. The only one who seems to be in decent fighting commission was Eve, but as he watches the quick exchange between the two opponents, he knew she had little no chance with this one versus one situation.
Still, Alex silently thanks Eve in his head for saving his life with that brave attack of hers. She turned out to be a much more reliable person then he thought she would be upon his initial judgment of her character and abilities.
Not wanting to give up at this point, the man bleeding to death tries once more to get up. Slowly and very painfully, he places he hands against the ground and pushes. It was not a pretty thing to see him do, especially with all that fresh and bright blood dripping from various area of his body, yet eventually he was able to stand up.
Panting to himself in both exhaustion and in attempt to gather more strength to use, Alex prepares to take his first step forward, but midway through he finds himself falling again. This time however he lands on his knees with his head hanging down. His body starts to shake slightly at first and over time becomes much more violate into a seize like state, which is probably a result from the amount of trauma that he recently endured.
Trying with all his remaining energy, Alex at least feels that he owes it to Eve to watch her with his last moments. Looking up with a bobbing head, his body stops shaking at once when he first notices the unique Crimson energy surrounding him.

Eve wasn't fast enough to reach the bird before it reacted. It hovered into the air with unnatural weightlessness and opened its beak wide. On a set trajectory, there was nothing she could do as it poured its deadly breath upon her. The blast smashed her down like a great fist, bouncing her back off the rocks again. Her body was ragged, skull exposed, coat tattered and only hanging on one shoulder. Her blade arm, having taken the brunt of the attack, was a heated mass of metal that dropped to the ground, tendons that held it fried. Her skull was also red hot, cooking her brain like an oven.
She snarled something and stood, but nothing she could do would be any good. Lost in a sea of pain and confusion, she only now realized she was half blind. Her skull was too hot to let her regrow the lost eye. Everything was too hot to do anything. She could barely even remember what she was doing here the pain was so distracting. Maybe if she just took a nap she'd feel okay...

Falken could barely breathe, his chest compressed to an inhuman degree, clearly the result of the attack from Suzaku. The Infamous Mercenary asked himself if this was the moment of his death… maybe he should’ve put his affairs in order before embarking in a mission like this. God knows he has a lot of affairs that needed that. Falken could feel as the limited reserves of energy in his nanites started waning, surely being over spent in trying to stabilize his broken body… Death was imminent.
Garo felt all his years and then some as he opened his eyes. All his limbs were twisted in unsightly angles; the pain was so great it blocked everything else. He couldn’t listen, he couldn’t smell, he couldn’t sense the cold rain on his skin. Even his vision was blurred, he could only see through a single eye, as the other was plucked away in the fall. The Old Archer thought of his family, his ex-wife and his wayward son. As he drifted into the Sanzu River, Garo felt a moment of warmness.
The Archer and the Mercenary were enveloped in Crimson Flames, the energy sent by the next Suzaku to help them in this dire situation, just like Eve and Alexander would also be affected. Their battered corpses healed by the energy and covered with armored forms that would grant them strength… at least for a while and hopefully enough to destroy the enemy in front of them. A voice reached them and the others USE THIS POWER WISELY AS IT IS SCARCE, DEFEAT MY PROGENITOR SO THE SACRED CYCLE CAN BEGIN ANEW
Vermillion Garo and Vermillion Falken

As Eve's brain baked, she fell to her knees. She would die content if she had managed to protect her team. She would have regrets, but not many. She never got to say goodbye to her sister... and she had gotten her coat ruined. It would never be repaired. "Sorry Warden. Sorry Ariana. Sorry Malcolm, sorry Huntsman, sorry Ashley, sorry Swallower, sorry Alex, sorry Garo. Sorry... Falken." NO! She wasn't ready! She couldn't go! She struggled now, but it was no good. Her knees were slipping on the ground, which was rushing up to meet her face. She didn't feel it when she hit. Just something else. Before the god could finish the fight, Eve's body was invaded by flames and her mind by a voice explaining them. She was whole again. Her skin was steel just like her skeleton, dotted with glowing holes in her body. A cape flowed from beneath a ridged head and thick neck, and her flesh crawled with a mind of its own on her cannon arm, a literal carpet of serpents ending in a humanoid face, eyes flickering with crimson power. She pointed this new and improved cannon at the massive abomination and spoke with a guttural steel growl. "I've had enough of failure to protect my team. Fortunately, I don't think this is going to be a problem for me anymore."

Alex, who before was shaking uncontrollable as he was approaching death's arms, was now still as can be as he receives a new wave of crimson energy. What... is... this... He closes his eyes as the energy begins to be dance on his skin and slowly entering his body. Anywhere the energy covers was healing at accelerating speeds. Missing skin begins to be replace by the birth of new skin, yet that was not the list of what was happening to him. The energy around him continues to develop into something far more complex, almost as if the crimson energy was making an entirely new and different type of skin for him. Even though he had no idea what was going on, he found himself enjoying the satisfaction. Opening his eyes, he begins to smile his trademark creepy face. The gathering energy eventually forms a sphere covering both his body and the immediate area around him. Quickly the crimson energy lights up into this bright ball of burning blaze, which lights stretches dozens of feet in all direction. In the center of this explosive orb of crimson fire, was a figure of a man , who was every so slowly becoming more and more visible as the flames naturally disperse throughout the air. Once the flames are completely gone there only stood in the middle of the previous fire pit a new Alex. Once that carries a demeanor that was nothing like the man who was preparing for his death, but instead a man ready to fight and deliver death to his foe. Alex looks down and begins to examine his new outfit with his enhance senses, yet it wasn't just his senses that he feels that have improve with the sudden gear, but everything about him along with some new interesting developments to his fighting style. He turns his head to study his staff of fire and at once understands what the device was capable of doing and how he can use it. It was weird to him, how this new change only occurs moments ago, but he feels as if he had always been this way. After finishing checking himself out, he tries to see if anything happen to the others and notices their changes too. It was;t just him, but his fellow hunters all seem to have been granted some form of a crimson energy booster. Smiling again to himself, Alex for the first time today actually begins to think that together, they are going to be able to come out as winners in this situation. He looks towards his staff and begins to laugh. Regardless of what happens, this is going to be so much fun.

-Let’s bloody do this!- Falken was filled with energy and closed his fists a couple of times, testing his strength. A voice in his head told him what he could do, how strong he became and how little time he had. He closed his fingers for a final time, but this time around two large guns, reproductions of his former characteristic weapons, the Ray and the Aznable. –Don’t injure your back old man, let the young folk handled this…-
The Infamous Mercenary rushed forward his enhanced form allowed him to easily clock into supersonic speed, a feat that usually took a lot from him. As he started running circles around the bird he released a barrage of flaming shots, each one powerful enough to level walls with ease. He wanted to get the attention of the Rampaging Sacred Beast, and get it he did, as Suzaku aimed one of his Incandescent Beams towards Falken. -Surf's up you bloody deity!-
With amazing agility the Vermillion Enhanced Mercenary jumped over the beam and with the power that swelled him he created a replica of the Kenzaki King Blade in the Diamond Setting, using it to surf over the attack, slide upwards on the continued beam as he kept shooting the Sacred Beast. The Blade vanished as Falken jumped and landed on Suzaku’s back, changing the pistols for the Hidaka Vibration Field Generators, using them to lay a drum solo of reverberating energy on the Vermillion’s Bird back.
Even after that Suzaku seemed more annoyed than damaged by Falken’s attacks, even while they continued, but the Sacred Beast decided to ignore the rumbling on its back, by instinct, so it could focus on the other three hunters. It decided to attack Eve first, as last time she was the one who lasted the most. Instead of a beam this time Suzaku bated its massive wingspan releasing a powerful gust of wind that carried sharpened feathers, almost like a rain of Crimson Swords, towards the Huntress.
Garo felt the energy coursing through his body and instead of launching himself forward he decided to use his enhanced senses to devise a plan. His brain jumped from scenario to scenario with inhuman speed until he finally decided for a course of action. He used the Vermillion Energy to contact the others, who were linked thanks to the Egg telepathic abilities.
-Keep that thing distracted, injury it as much as you can, I need to prepare the biggest arrow I’ve ever shot.- With that cryptic strategy told he jumped up another peak and shot an arrow coated in Crimson energy, that pierced the black clouds and went over them. He used his communicator and whispered.
-Talons… use the on-board GPS to follow my location and started circling the beacon I left over the storm…. Get ready to move when I order you.- With that set Garo launched a couple of arrows, not to damage the creature… but to tag it. As it was busy with Eve, Suzaku didn’t realize the arrows piercing its side.

Eve turned to Garo with her fixed grin. "Exactly what I was thinking." The telepathy trick was neat. She'd have to implant a radio in Malcolm's head to see if she could replicate it. She turned her full attention back to the god and its attack. The lights on her body glowed and erupted with a flurry of shots, destroying the feathers mid trajectory. A second flurry was aimed for the great bird itself, exploding in a burst of sparks upon impact. These were so much cooler than her normal guns.

Hearing his fellow hunter, Alex's idea was to once again to trap the bird in another fascinating invention of his. Watching the beast with careful and patient eyes he slowly lifts his new weapon (staff) in the direction of the deity. Smiling underneath the mask he unleashes his new power, which releases a massive tower of fire from the staff towards the gigantic bird. A normal perspective would see that Alex just unleashes a massive flame thrower at the divine creature, but was was actually happening is that the flame was actually made up of thousands of thousands of miniature fire wire threads, that were so small, they could slip through the cracks of the human skin.
His plan wasn't to burn the bird, but rather uses the flame as a disguise for Alexander's real attack. Hiding in the massive flames, the super tiny, yet incredible hot to the point of being able to melt iron upon contact fire wire threads, move at alarming speeds to the bird. Once the fire hits the bird, Alex plans to remote control his fire wire threads within the inferno blast to invade the beasts's body. His new powers allows him to create and control many of these fire wire threads, that he would normally not be able to since he was limited by the number of fingers he has, but with the staff being the creator and control rod he was no longer restricted to his hands.
If the wires invade the body of the beast, Alex was going to make the fire wire threads travel throughout the entire body of the bird and use the sharpness of the wires to cut the beast from the inside out, then restricted its moments by wrapping around the monster god's spine, muscles, bones, brain, and every other major organ that his wires could rip and grip. Then with the flame aspect of the wire, Alex imagines that not only would his wire threads survive due to be made out of a combination of fire and sharp condense crimson energy, but that he could intensify the heat to also prevent the bird from being able to heal and recover.
With that he mind, he imagines that the incapacitated bird would be an easy target for the the kill shot. Yet, should the wires fail to invade the body, then his backup plan would be to for the wires to wrap around the bird in another "Bird Cage" grip. And should that also fail as well, then Alex will have to result to his other methods that he wishes to try out with this new power. With that in mind, he prepares his staff to create another fire wire thread variation should he need it for another attempt of capturing the beast in a trap.

Suzaku cried in pain, the constant rumbling on its back, thanks to Falken, added to the energy sphere barrage from Eve. With anger the Sacred Beast released a mighty pulse of crimson energy that pushed Falken away and repelled the last of the Huntress’ barrage. But the really dangerous stuff was yet to come. Alexander used his newfound powers to a level his comrades didn’t even consider. A pillar of fire composed by millions of small flame wires surrounded Suzaku, trapping it from almost every direction.
As this happened Falken landed after executing a textbook mid-air back-flip recovery and the moment his feet touched the ground he was already running and summoning more weapons, this time around bringing back the Tsukuba Flight Harness, albeit a souped up version, and a dual version of the Inui Laser Cannon. –You made me lose my leg fucking bird, let me pay you in kind!- He set both cannons two scatter shot and started running circles while shooting.
Soon enough the Flame Pillar was blocking his view, but he knew that at least a couple of blasts reached the frightened Suzaku. The Infamous Mercenary turned to face Alex while shaking his fist in anger. –No fair Quasi! I wanted to blast a hole in this stupid bird’s chest and rip its bloody heart out! - But while he shouted, the Sacred Beast moved to evade Alexander’s first offensive, propelling itself upwards while enclosing its wings around its body.
With the Crimson Energy within being the one fueling its ascent the Sacred Beast folded its wings around itself to protect its body while flying up. Suzaku screeched in anger as it managed to escape from the thousands…no… millions of minuscule wires that tried to pierce into its flesh. Yet the Vermillion Bird didn’t count on Alexander’s plan B, as once again the Bird Cage enclosed around it, hindering its movement with steel like grip, or even stronger thanks to the enhancements.
Suzaku repeated what he did earlier, releasing a powerful energy pulse that turned the wires around it from a tight restrain into a sphere, one that was easily pierced through using a small opening as exit door. The Sacred Beast glided over the battlefield looking for an opening. Even after the barrage of Falken’s, Eve’s and Alex’s attacks the creature seemed unfazed, it wasn’t that they didn’t hurt it, but seemingly their individual talents, even improved by the Crimson Energy weren’t enough to defeat such formidable foe.
The Old Archer standing atop a peak didn’t miss that issue, and even if he already had cards on the matter he would need time for his plan to work. So he informed the other Hunters. –We need to keep it under the clouds for another 30 seconds! Keep Suzaku busy!- Garo roared from above as Suzaku picked Alex as a target this time around finally acknowledging the Grotesque Hunter as a real danger, maybe even greater than the rest, thanks to his sinister intellect.
The Sacred Beast launched from above another Incandescent Beam of Crimson Energy, this time aimed at Alexander. Falken moved to intercept and while mid-air thanks to the Tsukuba Harness, shifted both Inui Cannons to Stream Mode, clashing both powerful lasers with the Divine Blaze raining from above. –You heard the old fart Quasi! We need to keep the bloody thing down! Get swe….HARPER TO HELP YOU!- The Mercenary’s whole body rumbled under the pressure of the colliding attack, not only using the power of the Inui Lasers to fight it, but the full boost of the Enhanced Flight Harness to push himself forward.

Eve thought it was already over when Alex entangled the bird once more and raised her hissing arm. The mouth on the end began to open, red energy within casting a hellish glare over everything in sight. Awwwwww yeah. This felt good. Its jaws snapped shut with a hiss when Suzaku broke free. Dammit. This cannon was awesome, and she was not risking wasting it with a wild shot!
As the sacred beast swooped, she wanted to yell for Falken to protect him, but her heart swelled with pride when he dove of his own accord. Did she miss something? That didn't seem like him. It didn't matter right now, she supposed, but it had serious repercussions in the future. She might not be able to kill him with so clean a conscience now. She placed her hand beneath the biggest light on her body, right in the center of her abdomen. Light rushed out for an instant like a gate was opening, and a purple orb rolled out. Eve felt as aware of this body as of her own, and knew exactly what this would do.
She pulled back and threw the grenade in the perfect arc to bring it down right on top of Suzaku's beak, hopefully exploding with enough force to knock his beam down and away from her team. She drew another grenade from her body, this time uleashing something hellish and red. A vermillion version of her corrosive grenade? This god was good. She drew her arm back and waited for the bird to open its big fat beak again, ready to pitch the deadly object down its throat.

Alex appreciates the help from Falken as he launches his next divesting attack plan. All the wires that the bird avoids, he commands to comes back and a spread out. Soon enough the cloud above all their heads appear to be on fire, but in reality, the fire wire threads just created a net of flames underneath the cloud once the wire had finish spreading and then they release an intense burst of fire from the super tiny wires. That should help with the archer's aim of preventing the beasts from escaping above the clouds, thought Alex. Next, he prepare the wire thread net to come down and be able to adjust itself to avoid hitting any of the other Hunter's and their attacks.
Communicating with the others for the first time by telepathic messaging, -Let me know when and where your planning to attack, and I'll move the wires for you- Once he finishes saying this, the magnificat fire wire thread net above their heads proceeds to travel down at impressive speeds considering its size. His new plan would be to use the massive net to swat the divine creature into the group and trap it. He also adjusts the distance of fire wires threads between each other to make sure that the gaps between the wires are so tiny, that the bird would not be able to fly through them, even if it releases another one of those energy blasts. It would change the shape of the flaming wire thread net a bit wherever the energy emitter hits, but with the gap between the fire wire threads being so small, that at best, the deity would only delay the process of him being trap. Plus, every time it would try to free itself, it will only allow the situation to repeat itself.
As he waits for the wide spread blanket to fall down, Alex's staff create a large ball of fire, which quickly launches a spiraling fire attacks from his staff in the direction of the creature. Yet, this attack was not just fire attack, but were in fact a fire wire thread javelins. The design of the wire thread javelin was the same, the only difference was how powerful the material and the number of wires that were used by the technique now along with the speed. Alex was able to launch the javelins at slightly faster than the speed of sound (850 mph) along with each Javeline being made out of 100,000 super tiny fire wire threads. Alex thought to himself, that his new fire wire threads were at least 3 times sharper than his previous wire threads.
*Wire thread Javelin Explanation*
The light spear was similar to the twisting wire thread needle, due to the focus of the attack being a piercing one, and the increase to the potency of the wire's original sharpness, along with the fact that the wire thread javelin has a twisting design for its head and body. The wire spear variation also require 50 wire threads to make, rather than the needle, which can be made with any number of wire thread, but requires a lot less wired threads than the wired spear, yet this only increases the sharpness even more than the needle's design. The needle only increases the normal sharpness of a single wire by the amount of twisting wires added to each other, which is then multiple by two, when compared to the sharpness of a single wire thread by itself. The wire spear took it to the next level with its dangerous design. The Spear's sharpness was increase for every single wired added into it like the wire needle, but rather than be twice that amount, such as the needle, it was 4 times sharper at the tip. Already the tip of the spear, without being thrown, was 200 times sharper than a regular wire thread. This was the perhaps the best, yet weakest aspect of the spear. Unlike Alex's other attack, the spear didn't move with the same level of swiftness due to the extra weight, yet the spear itself only weighed a pound, since it was created from super thine wire threads, yet still this slowed down the speed by a good amount. Another thing, was the wire javelin was separated by the wire glove due to its design, which means that Alex had to throw it, rather than use the wire gloves to move it. But the benefit of the wire spear twisting design, also includes a twisting motion to further increase its already crazy sharpness at the tip and the sides of the wire spear once it has been thrown.
The faster the spear moves, the faster its rotation, the shaper the entire spear becomes, especially at the tip, which only further increases the already augmented sharpness of the wire spear even further. Alex discovered an interesting relating with the speed of the spear, which will increase the piercing affect of the wire spear. When throwing the wire thread javelin, the overall sharpness of the spear's tip will be added by its the original amount (200 times sharper than a single wire thread) if the spear was to travel at 100mph. Alex himself is able to throw the spear on average roughly above 200mph, hence the spear when combine with its speed, will allow the tip of the spear's sharpness to be slightly above 600 times the sharpness of a single original wire thread. The major downside to this technique, is again, that the spear is only moving at 200mph, which is a speed that is considerable slow in the Hidden World. In fact, Alex would normally never be able to hit anyone or anything with his spear, unless he already trapped their movements with his wires.
The Math: How Sharp is the tip of the light spear. A single fire wire thread is 3 times sharper than original wire thread 100,000 wire threads (4x multiplier) So 3 times 100,000 x 4 = 1,200,000 times shaper than a single original wire thread for the tip of the fire wired thread variation of the fire wire thread Javelin
Then add in the speed factor (100mph adds the original amount of sharpness of the tip without moving (which is 1,200,000) Moving at 850mphs = 8.5 times the original amount plus to the original amount of the sharpness of the tip. Which means.... (1,200,000 x 8.5) + 1,200,000 = 11,400,000 times sharper than a single original wire thread (which is already sharp enough to cut steel in half)
When he was done doing the math in his head, he knew rounded that the single fire wired Javelin would be almost 11.5 million times sharper at the tip of the Javelin than a single previous regular wire thread. So, he imagines that even if the attack was slow in comparison to the bird, it would be sharp enough now to pierce though the bird's energy emitter and body. Yet, the problem was landing such a slow move attack on the bird, but Alex already had another variable to help him with that. The fire wire thread attack was actually going to his fellow hunter.
Once again talks to the fellow hunters in his mind, specifically addressing Falken, -When you see my fire wire thread spear coming at you, just grab at it from the sides. Even if the tip is insanely sharp, the sides are just as sharp as a single fire wire thread by itself, which I figure you all will be able to grab onto with our new armor. From there, it will be up to you to use the Javelin- Alex knew that even with if the Javelin is a threat to the bird, it was far to slow to land a hit at least if he was doing this by himself. Thats why he trusted his teammate to land his attacks for him. Still, the area of effect that the spears will have will only be able to damage limited parts of the bird's body and if it still has that amazing regan going for it, he imagines the spear will only do damage for a short period of time, but that it will hopefully give the Garo the time he needed or could be use by him in an interring way.
After finishing with his last move, Alex begins to sense the immediate lack of energy. Knowing that he will only this crazy crimson like strength at best for another technique, he immediately goes to work to create another wire thread variation, which will probably be his last before returning to normal.

Both beams clashed with brutal intensity, eradicating each other power as they pushed forward and back. –Bloody hell! Keep working you lousy thing! - Unluckily the clashing beams were slowly moving towards Falken, as even with the Vermillion Mode he had a finite amount of energy he could use, a problem Suzaku didn’t share with the Mercenary. Slowly the Inui Cannons he generated, using the Crimson Energy as fuel and his mainframe as a conduit, since he carried with the specs of every weapon inside it, started to wane in power, in matter of seconds the incandescent beam of the Sacred Beast would disintegrate him, armor or no armor.
The Mercenary didn’t knew why he placed himself is such a dangerous situation, especially for the sake of protecting another individual, even after said individual pissed him off. Maybe the gravity of the situation was more than enough to shift Falken’s priorities, or maybe there was still a glimmer of goodness inside the Mercenary, who always considered his soul surgically removed to make place for his bionic parts. –Goddamnit!- As the Incandescent Beam gained on his position he cursed the bird with anger, but seconds before his remaining blasts died out Eve jumped into action.
The first grenade exploded on Suzaku’s face with more than enough power to force the Corrupted Beast to shift directions, thus the beam that was about to destroy Falken was re-directed towards a group of mountain peaks, obliterating them in a gigantic dome-like explosion. The Vermillion Bird screeched in anger at Eve’s interference, a great mistake as the Shape shifting Huntress already had a second attack prepared and chucked the corrosive grenade into the creature’s throat, exploding inside and causing a lot of damage. Suzaku fell from the skies landing heavily on the ground while spewing blood and acid.
Falken, still mid-air, thanked Eve for the assists. –Thanks for the hand swee…. Harper…. That bloody thing almost got me.- He would continue thanking her, but he heard Alexander’s voice. The Mercenary nodded and went towards it, when he heard Garo using the same method of communication. –Falken, get the spear and tie it up to my arrow! - The Dual Wielding Angel of Death looked at Garo, his silhouette cutting a ray of sunlight that pierced through the clouds. –Your arrow?- Asked the Mercenary in shock as he finally saw it.
The Old Archer previous call was to ask Barnaby Talons, the Prodigy of Piloting, to send the private high tech jet in auto-pilot towards them, homing on the arrows Garo placed on Suzaku. –Harper-san I need to keep the bird grounded!- He then turned to Alex. –Stevenson-san hooks us up, we need to charge your javelin with whatever Crimson Energy we have left and use the plane as the arrow shaft and your weapon as the arrow tip.- This was the Archer’s plan, the biggest arrow in the world.
-Old fart! You really know your stuff!- Falken grabbed the javelin with both hands, receiving cuts even through his armor, but carried one using the Tsukuba Flight Harness to fly past Garo and reach the incoming plane. He pierced the Javelin through the tip, and used his remaining Crimson Energy to fuse it with the craft’s chassis. His nanites handled the steering of the ship, speeding up and disengaging the auto-pilot. The Vermillion Mode of Falken ran out while he was doing this, as he had spent too much.
Garo launched all of his Crimson Energy, mostly unused into the javelin, which increased in brightness and power, as the sudden income of power added also to the Jet’s boosters. –We need to land this one, or we won’t kill it!- Informed Garo through the telepathic link as Suzaku started standing up from Eve’s attack.

Eve smiled up at Falken. "I'd never let a comrade down. Now do your thing!" It was all coming together. She loved her team. She loved both her teams. "Don't worry Garo. Alex and I have this. Right Alex?" She winking at him and aimed her former cannon arm at the bird once more, focusing on its shoulder. She just needed to make sure Suzaku stayed put, which meant it was finally time to use her big gun. The mouth opened again, casting that hellish red glow once more. She summoned upon every bit of her strength, feeling her body weaken as the crimson energy flooded from it. Her cape blew back in a hot wind that coursed from every bit of her body, a burning aura pushing it away even as it turned back into a heavy coat. Her skin's plating dissolved into mere soft flesh once more, bit by bit her body returning to normal, leaving only a face on the end of her cannon.
Eve looked out of her blistering aura at Suzaku. A part of her wished she could store this energy and study it later to call upon it at any time. But she had to do this for Garo and everybody else here. She put her hand to her head, finding the tricone hat she once wore was back. She loved this power so much. But she let it go anyway. The mouth tore away in an earsplitting scream, like a rocket taking off times twenty, the very sky being painted red by the force she unleashed. She was utterly spent, tossed aside like the shell of a dead battery, more forcefully than any other time. She really hoped Alex caught her. She had no idea where she might end up otherwise.

Alex had no idea how he was going to caught Eve as she was falling down. Nothing about his weapons was design to be use as a safety net, in fact, he could help but think that using his wire threads would only make the situation worst. Still, he had to try something. Commanding the fire wire thread net to land and trap the bird after Eve's cannon blast. He moves his staff and creates a ball of fire and throws it at eve, which expands into a blanket of soft and light fire. It was made out of soft and low temperature fire threads as oppose to his usually sharp wires and once it wraps up Eve, it would transform into a massive kite like parachute to help with her landing. Meanwhile, Alex lifts his staff and offers all his remaining Crimson energy to Garo's plan. A massive blast of crimson fire emerges from his staff. He was prepare to create a truly elaborate and interesting device, but it looks like the old archer had a better plan than him.
