Della found herself very near the dark skinned genie when he finally decided to speak up, her expression would for but a few moments twist into a look of utter fury before Della reigned herself back in retaking control of her temper before it flared out of control as she knew it very well would have had she not made the effort to control herself. Here was not the place to let loose her rage the Lookout was to be kept safe. The genie was thankfully quite amenable to the idea of taking there fight away from the Lookout even if it was paired with jabs at her. Part of Della almost felt like trying to force the issue, to DRAG the genie into the time chamber just because he was against the idea but it simply was not worth the effort a curt nod was all the response she would give him before taking a step backward, in an instant Della would be gone as she used her shunpo to vault herself across the Lookout throwing herself off the side and allowing herself a bit of time in free fall.
The rush of air around her as Della plunged from the Lookout SHOULD have felt great, the rush of falling was always pleasant but her mind was far far too preoccupied with other matters and most specifically the matter at hand. Dealing with the Genie, she had every intention of enjoying what was to come but still it would need to be fast while the Genie was of course someone she wanted to unleash her fury on Della found herself still far more interested in what she believed would be better uses of her power, facing off with the demon woman Azazel and her armored... ally? Friend? it was so very hard to place Anri sometimes, it had been difficult enough for Jenn to place where she felt about the Vennor and things only became more muddled once Della had freed herself. Anri was the one she most wanted to fight and of course that was the crux of the problem as Anri had every intention of proceeding with this idiocy. At the very least however this foolishness had reminded her that this 'fight' was something she needed.
Della caught herself just before her fall would have resulted in an Anri-style impact in the land beneath the Lookout, pulling herself up tall Della cast her gaze skyward spotting her opponent slowly making his way down as well to any other being his speed would likely have been remarkable but to her it was much like a snails pace. Della however found herself distracted from Popo's arrival as rather suddenly one of the other sources of energy on the Lookout began to elevate, the demon woman Azazel had not exactly been holding back her strength when they had arrived and had seemed to level out shortly after the decisions on who would be fighting whom were made... but now... now it seemed as if it was escalating without any sign of end it continued to surge until finally... finally it seemed to level out once again and Della was left wide eyed at what she could feel. It was a level of power that only compared to one other being she knew of... herself. She'd hoped that Anri might have been holding back something more, enough power to make a fight between them interesting but even now as Anri rocketed into the sky his power was eclipsed by the demoness as his power also leveled out to what was likely his full power.
Della had never expected that Azazel would be the one with the power to challenge her, she had expected the woman to pose at least a decent challenge, perhaps even to compare to Anri... but this was unlike anything she had ever expected. This was not just a comparable level of power... this was an EQUAL she knew what she was capable of at her full power, once unrestrained by the bindings placed on her by UNITY and the difference in power between herself and the demoness was negligible at BEST. But as amazing as this was it was likewise a significant problem... Anri was powerful, stronger even than Jenn had been before she had taken over but the problem was that even with all that power Anri only accounted for roughly a third of the woman's power. It was without a doubt within Azazel's choice whether Anri lived or died and Della could not see her sparing him, Anri was here to kill them and Azazel knew as much. But Anri was a tough nut to crack and even with the power difference he would likely be capable of posing some amount of challenge.

Popo slowly made his way over to the edge of the Lookout. He knew this was going to be his last time standing on the marble floor. The women in crimson armor was going to take his life and he accepted his fate. All he could do now was try to buy as much time as he could in order for Azazel or someone to take out anri and Kemuri. Jumping off the Lookout Popo began to make his decent down to Earth. When he felt a huge power source erupt out of no where. Turning his head back, he recognized the source as Azazel.
“So it looks like there is some hope left after all. Azazel had been holding back this power this entire time. Well now I know what I must do. I will give Azazel as much time as I can afford. This women is going to kill me, but as long as Azazel can kill that man or maybe even Kemuri before her return. Then everything I am about to do will not be for nothing.” Popo said to himself as the ground finally began to come into view.
The women in armor had already made it to the ground, which came to no surprise. Her power was well beyond Popo’s. This fight wasn’t going to last very long at least that is what Popo thought. Just because her power was higher than his, that wasn’t going to scare him into surrendering. She had disgraced everything a Guardians keeper stood for. She had turned her back on Earth and every Kami that has stood atop the Lookout. Popo was going to try to keep her down here for as long as he could. Every second that she remained down here, bought Azazel more time to finish off Anri and Kemuri.
Once Popo landed several feet away from the women, he had no words for her. Only a blank stare is what she was going to receive. Popo was ready for his final fight on this planet. This women was going to receive everything that he had, there was no point in holding back now. Lives are on the line and the fate of the planet rests in the balance of a select few. Popo took a deep breath and dropped into a defensive stance. He was ready and he knew the women was as well.

Della's attention was so utterly drawn to Azazel's now immense power that she barely even recognized that Popo had landed only vaguely accounting for the fact that he had powered up to what appeared to be his full strength something that much like Anri was dwarfed by Azazel's full strength. Presently his full power actually managed to overtake the power that she was displaying as between her weights and the more-or-less relaxed state Della was in the bulk of her power was for lack of better term 'hidden' once Della felt Anri and Azazel's powers beginning to surge in a manner that indicated that there fight had begun she slowly turned her attention back onto the rotund genie that she was here to fight. Looking him over Della raised an eyebrow, he seemed entirely prepared for an actual fight as if he expected to actually present her a challenge. Della idly wondered WHY the genie assumed he would be capable of such but then it hit her, the very concept she had let pass through her thoughts just moments ago likely was enough to give the genie some level of hope. He didn't know her full strength was on the same level as Azazel's.
"Kemuri really is quite the fool, he's managed to throw the only one of us who is actually willing to obey his orders up against someone who will likely kill him as soon as she can and no matter how tough Anri is I don't quite think he's got a chance here unless he's got something up his lack of sleeves. Maybe if there lucky up there Azazel might even kill Kemuri before I'm done with you. That would make things nice and simple for me." Della said with an amused chuckle as the other genie sunk into a defensive stance making it quite clear that the genie was planning to mostly just hold the line and probably just buy time for Azazel and perhaps the others to take down the others. "Well despite how out of shape you look you at least seem to know what you're doing." Della said with a roll of the eyes. "But unless you happen to have a lot more power hidden away in there I do believe you are in about the same position as Anri." Della said with a smirk as she began to power up her aura suddenly becoming a hazy red and then suddenly bursting outward taking on the appearance of a raging inferno.
"I will be nice and let you know since I believe you have some sort of telepathic link to Kami and perhaps one of you can let her know. I don't care what happens here outside of me ending your existence Popo, whoever ultimately wins this is irrelevent to me, what I want is a fight. A REAL fight, I'd planned to wait until this was over so that I could fight Anri since he was the only one that I knew might pose a challenge for me. But now that has changed, once I am done I want to fight her, Azazel. I dont care if she kills Kemuri beforehand so long as she's fit to challenge me. Nobody else has the power to give me the challenge I want." Della explained as her power continued to rise higher and higher until finally it capped out at the highest she could reach without overriding the power inhibiting braces on her wrists, still though this level was likely more than enough to deal with Popo, already she was far beyond a level of power that the other genie could reasonably stand up against.
"So all in all maybe everyone will get what they want today." Della said with a laugh before taking a step forward her form would waver for a moment before seeming to vanish entirely as Della sent a pulse of energy into her legs allowing herself to move at a speed far beyond what even she was normally capable of, in the next instant Dellla would reappear before Popo with a vicious grin on her face as she cocked back her arm and took a swing at the rotund genie rather ample stomach, assuming the genie was sent flying back from the attack Della would return to a rather casual stance snapping her fingers to summon a long black staff planting one end into the ground next to her so that she could lean up against it. The weapon was as tall as Della with an entirely black shaft and a golden hoop attached to the top of the staff. Della smirked as she felt her power sync up with the staff of one, this was the first time that she had summoned it outside of her mind and thankfully it appeared that she did not need to re-sync with it.

Listening to the armored woman Popo had no problem letting her talk. The longer she spent talking or fighting with him, the more time Azazel would have to deal with the others. Despite this woman’s words the genie was not convinced that the rest would be safe after she was done with him. The power she possessed was more than all save Azazel might be able to handle. If she failed would the others truly be allowed to live? Popo had never wronged a soul in his life yet she was bent on taking his. Her words simply could not be trusted. Silently he hoped that Azazel was making quick work of Kemuri and the rest of his lackeys above, she woman was their only chance at keeping everyone safe, their only chance beyond him. Maintaining his stance Popo does not launch an attack as she raises her power even more, surpassing his own with ease.
“Kami, Azazel. I will hold of this woman as long as I am able, but I must warn you she wishes to fight you next Azazel. She claims the others are safe from her wrath regardless of Kemuri and the others fates. I do not trust her though, be careful.” His telepathy allowing him to speak with both of his friends, not giving any confirmation to the woman in armor that he had told them in another attempt to drag out the fight should she request again that he let them know.
No sooner had he finished sending his silent message than Della takes a step forward. Seeming to vanish from sight Popo scans the area, his eyes not able to track her movements. A second later he knew where she was as a fist sunk into his belly. With a forced exhale the genie was sent flying backwards, bouncing across the ground as he does. Pain shooting through his body from the point of the impact he knew he was clearly outmatched. Even as he finally came to a rest some distance away, several trees having been the victim to his tumbling body, Popo ends up on his back. Groaning the genie forces himself to sit up, hands clutching his stomach.
I don’t understand why you are doing this. What pleasure do you take in working alongside Kemuri? You say you do not care what happens to him or the others…does that mean you take the lives of others simply for your own entertainment?” Popo asks, honestly not understanding the woman’s motives if she were not working for Kemuri. Many fighters wanted to test their strength and abilities, but killing others was not needed. She thought herself powerful for defeating those weaker than her, yet all it proved was the glaring weakness in her character. As he sat on the ground he began to charge energy hidden in his hands as they clutched his stomach. He did not really want to hurt anyone, but he had to fight back.

Popo had made no effort to move as she powered up remaining almost as still as a statue, perhaps it had bee because he actually could sense power readings and he knew that moving around and trying to mount some form of offense was for the most part useless anything he tried to throw at her would almost certainly be ineffectual at best and so it appeared he was focusing entirely upon defense, in the blink of an eye that it had taken for her to close the distance between him he had made no effort to mention if he had informed the others of what she had told him, truthfully it did not much matter to her if he did it had not been for her benefit that she had given out that information it was for the others and most specifically Azazel, to let the other woman know that she had better survive and be prepared for what was to come. At the moment it would not be obvious to anyone that Della actually could present a challenge to Azazel. The demoness was going at Anri with her full strength while Della was holding back a significant portion of her own power. The way that Azazel had released the power was quite similar to the release of power that Della had experienced when she had taken over, it meant Azaze'ls new tier of power was something new to her and thus much like Della she wanted to try it out.
She had personally sated much of that urge when dealing with the idiot human Brandon and so it was easy enough to restrain the urge to release all of her power at once and demolish Popo. She could take her time and give him the belief that he might stand a chance, at the moment she was not even twice his power and while it made the battle seem quite impossible for the genie he definitely stood a slim chance if he really put his all into the fight. Of course that did not seem to be the case, Popo was likely taking the safe route simply trying to defend himself and make this take as long as possible to buy as much time as he could. Were the roles reversed Della would never accept attempting such a foolish course of action, it meant that her opponent was the one who set the pace of the battle and as well with such a focus on defense and such mismatched power it meant that if she grew bored she could simply abandon the battle and seek out Azazel. As her thoughts swarmed through her mind her fist made impact with Popo's gut, for a brief moment before he was sent flying Della could head a gasp from the genie as the air was forced from his body, then he was sent flying backwards rocketing through several trees before he would finally come to a stop. Della followed after him quickly not wanting the genie to have a chance to use some sort of trick to mask his power and flee into the trees, she arrived just as he began to recollect himself pulling himself back up onto his feet as he clutched his stomach where she had hit him.
Della would simply watch and wait giving the genie a few moments to recover as he appeared to be preparing to say something. His question was one that made Della roll her eyes, assumptions abound from the rotund genie she decided that it was worthwhile to answer him "You see the problem with your logic is that you assume I'm working alongside Kemuri. My being here was merely done out of the fact that Anri is working for Kemuri, I only had interest in fighting him before Kemuri decided to set out for his grand attack" Delal said rolling her eyes at the words 'grand attack' "I had assumed he would be the only person on the planet capable of giving me a decent fight, I had planned to fight Azazel as she was the only other being I knew of that had a significant level of power. But then the opportunity to smack you around arose and I just could not pass that up." Della said giving Popo a vicious smirk. "Of course that's all changed now, sadly Anri just does not have the power to match up to me. Azazel is the one I want to fight now as I've already mentioned. As for your rather obnoxious assertion that I kill for entertainment. No. I do not. So far I've only killed that idiot who came to the castle and that was because I knew him already, he attacked someone I care for and.. I.. had already warned him against coming near her again. He got too close and frankly I probably gave him a faster death than what Anri would have given." Della said her expression growing slightly annoyed at having to talk about the human and strangely stumbling when saying that it had been her who had warned him.
"This is quite the fun game, I give you a bit of information and then I hit you. To add and to spice things up if you survive this next attack I'll keep this up." She said with an amused smirk and then Della began to build up energy as she took a step to the side allowing her to dart away from the genie's immediate field of vision, a few more steps would place Della roughly two feet behind Popo as the built up energy began to surge and take form creating the appearance that her right hand was surging with electricity, pointing her hand at the other genie Della would aim to blast the genie in the back with a bolt of lightning, however as Della moved to aim her attack at him her movements suddenly began to feel sluggish and once she finally let the bolt of lightning loose it's aim would be rather clearly skewed slightly, perhaps just enough to allow the genie to avoid the attack or at least turn a direct hit into a glancing blow.

Popo listened to the Armored women speak. Going on and on about how she wants to fight Azazel when this is all over. As Popo felt Azazel’s power, there was no doubt in his mind that she as going to get her wish. Azazel wasn’t holding back and he knew that both Anri and Kemuri were going to die. The only thing Popo had to do was keep his opponent down here for Azazel to accomplish that. His body was still writhing in pain, but he continued to listen to the women speak about Brandon. Before Popo could say anything the women darted out of his field of vision. The energy was still building up in his hand.
Seconds later he would sense her power behind him and he could sense a powerful attack coming his way. Whipping around Popo would release a yellow ki beam at the lightning bolt, but it didn’t matter. The bolt of lightning would be slowed down a fraction, but not enough to stop it from slamming into Popo’s side as he moved to the right. He could tell the aim was obviously slightly off. He began to wonder if she had done that on purpose?
Clutching his now burned side “So you are the one that killed Brandon and he went and invaded the castle on his own.” Popo and Kaladar had both thought that he had gone and dome something stupid. He just never would of thought Brandon would go there, especially by himself. “It doesn’t matter if you gave him a quicker death, you killed a man that was trying to help. You murdered someone and I know for a fact that if you fight Azazel, you aren’t going to win.” Popo explained
From the brief time he had spent with Azazel it was clear that she hated people that murdered someone for no reason. He would assume that when the women made her way back to the top of the Lookout Azazel would ask. Once again all he had to do now was buy some time. Quickly Popo began to formulate a plan on how to deal with this women. She was stronger than him that was obvious. Even so, there had to be a way to injure her enough for Azazel to finish the job.
Building up yellow ki in his hands he ban to launch several blasts at the women, while running to the left. They would slam into different parts of her body, granted that she didn’t move out of the way. He figured that she wouldn’t just stand there and take it, but he had to try something. When he felt like enough blasts had been thrown, Popo manifested a ki barrier around his body. It wouldn’t hold against an attack from her, but it might just protect him enough to survive for another hit or two.

Della's expression twisted into a mixture of confusion and frustration as she watched her attack tear through the space between herself and Popo, the attack was obviously on course to hit but it seemed... off as if she'd made an attempt to veer the attack off to the side which she knew for a fact she had not done she had been patient with aiming the attack and had intended it to strike the dark skinned genie in the middle of his back roughly at the middle of his spine. It was intended to be a test to see if he could actually stand up to one of her attacks but somehow it had gone completely awry and he'd even managed to escape with comparatively little harm, sure the attack had nailed him in the shoulder and it had done a rather obvious amount of damage but nowhere near where it should have. If the attack had hit him directly the difference in power between them should have left him a twitching mess on the floor but instead he remained standing, his arm clearly twitching in pain as the remaining effects oft eh electricity coursed through his body. Della's eyes narrowed as she focused on the other genie looking for any sign that perhaps he had done whatever it was that had caused her aim to veer off but it seemed unlikely his expression held no signs of triumph and on top of that if he'd actually known her attack would have been skewed then he likely would have simply tried dodging rather than his failed attempt to counter her attack.
As Popo clutched his wound he began to speak again and Della found herself rolling her eyes, he seemed so focused on trying to make her feel as if her killing the idiot had been a bad thing "I do not care why he was there, he posed a threat to one of the few things I care for. Had I been more sound of mind when I FIRST met him he never would have had an opportunity to even come to the castle. I would have dealt with him properly then. I do not imagine you will quite understand my side of this and I do not much care if you do, I have killed those who threaten my family before and I will do so again if necessary. What I want to know is when exactly the Guardian decided it was best to employ the aid of those who bring terror to an innocent child." Della said giving Popo a piercing glare shortly after his assertion that she would fall against Azazel, truthfully Della did not mind the idea of losing against Azazel so long as she could survive the battle. A loss was not so bad it simply meant she would need to push past her limits to one day defeat Azazel.
Feeling a buildup of energy Della raised an eyebrow as rather suddenly Popo unleashed a swarm of energy blasts too many to get an accurate number the blasts ripped through the distance between them with surprising speed so quickly that a few managed to tag Della before she could take a step back and escape the range of the remaining blasts darting away through the trees with a few more steps Della would eventually reappear near Popo her armor rather clearly singed scuffed and otherwise damaged. The attacks had his surprisingly hard for how much power Popo was putting out, it appeared that at some point the genie had taken the time to build up an attack, perhaps disguising it as he clutched his wounds. "You hit harder than I expected, I was beginning to wonder if all that power was trapped in your gut" Della said with a mocking laugh as she took a few steps closer to Popo "But with all that power, far more power than any of us individually possessed when we went off to face Kemuri I have to question something Popo. Where were you? Why did you send US to fight Kemuri when you alone were far more powerful than Azazel had been. You brought us together to face Kemuri but why not face him alongside us? Why were you not there to protect the Guardian? Kaladar needed you and yet you were nowhere to be found. You gathered a group of strangers among which were a child and a DRUNK and all but sent them to there DEATHS without any indication that you would aid us. Were Kemuri not as much of an arrogant snot as he is they could have all DIED and there blood would have been on YOUR hands." Della practically snarled her words as she stepped closer to Popo her eyes narrowing more as her fury intensified.
As Della came within arms reach of the genie she would wrench her arm back a clear sign that she was about to strike him her teeth gritted in fury her fist would tear forward only to stop just before Della would actually strike Popo her arm trembling as if she were fighting against some sort of force holding her fist back. "Wh-what the hell!?" Della snarled before quickly lashing out at Popo with a kick aimed at his midsection as Della found herself still quite incapable of budging her fist, whatever force was holding her fist in place appeared incapable of doing the same for her leg and so unless Popo acted he would be struck. "Della" An all too familiar voice called out to her seeming to echo from everywhere at once "No... NO" Della would shout shortly after Popo either avoided or was struck by her attack clutching her head as if it would make the voice vanish "Della I know you are angry.." the voice began only to be cut off "YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME, SHUT UP" Della roared at the voice "I know plenty, we are essentially same person after all Della." "We are NOTHING alike, I'm different, I'm ME, I'm not you, SHUT UP" "You are different, but you are still part of our whole being, what makes us... us. We are just different expressions of the same person, you love our family just as much as I do. For as much as you want to reject any similarities between us you know that much is true, it's why you asked Anri to take his battle away from the Lookout. No matter how angry you are with how things are you still love what the Lookout represents. You still care for all the same people we have always cared for." "STOP TALKING" Della screamed her tone a mixture of fury and terror as she hoped her scream would finally shut the voice up

Popo listened to the women speak, yelling at him for sending them to fight Kemuri alone without him. She apparently had forgotten a lot while she was stuck in her ring. The rules are that a care taker is not allowed to leave the Lookout if the Guardian isn’t present on the Lookout. Popo had no choice but to stay there while the others went to face Kemuri. Popo had no idea that Kemuri was going to be more that they could handle. That he was to blame for, but he had faith that none of them were going to die and none of them did. She was trying to get inside his head. Trying to make him believe this was all his fault and he could have handled it from the beginning.
He wanted to respond and defend himself, but that is exactly what she would have wanted. He wasn’t going to play into her game. If she had forgotten the rules of a Guardians caretaker then that was her problem. That is when she started to make her way towards Popo. Immediately Popo summoned a ki barrier around himself to brace for the inevitable impact. Closing his eyes he wanted for the strike, but nothing happened. Opening his eyes he saw Dellas fist inches away from his head. Her entire arm was trembling, like something was holding her back.
Popo took advantage of the opportunity and jumped a few feet away from her. He was unfortunately not fast enough and a he would be kicked in the midsection. Flying through the air, the damage would have been worse had he not moved slightly. Slowly rising back to his feet he could hear Della screaming for something to stop talking. He didn’t know what or who she was talking to, but then it hit him. Before he had left the Lookout Kaladar asked him to go easy on Jenn. Finally the pieces fell into place. This women he was fighting was in fact Jenn. Something happened to her that changed the way she thought. Jenn was still in there.
“Jenn you have to stop what you are doing. I know you are still in there. There is no reason to want to find a challenge for you. You should be trying to save Kaladar, his life is in the balance. I don’t know what happened while you were at Kemuri’s place. That is my fault and there is nothing I can do about it now.” Popo said hoping that trying to communicate with Jenn was going to help him survive. Just incase while he was talking he began to once again charge energy between his hands.

Della would have found Popo's silence as amusing as it was infuriating, he had shown clear signs of WANTING to lash out at her for her words but restrained himself for reasons that she neither knew nor could she quite have the time to contemplate. Ultimately any amount of thought about the round genie was rather quickly waylayed by her new problem. The voice. This should not have been possible, she had taken every precaution to keep her restrained for the time being, it should have taken YEARS at best before she could ever have gotten free, restrained in a state equivalent to sleep deep inside there mind. She had never planned to keep things that way for that long but a bit of time was needed. Adjusting to actual life and furthermore figuring out what to actually DO. It was perhaps a small compensation for all of the aggravation that while she had been incapable of following through with her punch even with all the time that it had bought Popo he only managed to move a few feet, perhaps because he had been about as confused by her inability to strike him as she had been, the kick however landed quite solidly sending him flying, this small victory was of course marred by the fact that even with Popo removed from her immediate vicinity and taking his time to get to his feet nothing she tried managed to silence her. There however came a small pause from the voice where Della thought perhaps finally her efforts to push it away had worked, this beautiful silence was of course marred as Popo chose that moment to speak up shouting to her from where he had dragged himself to his feet calling her by HER name and once again asserting just as the voice had that they were the same telling her that what she wanted did not matter that she should care about Kaladar. Della's teeth gritted in anger as her entire body tensed her gaze slowly shifting back onto Popo visibly seething with anger "Do NOT CALL ME THAT NAME" Della shouted unleashing a wave of energy at Popo " You have no right-" "Della please calm down... he doesn't know, he does not understand" Della grit her teeth as the voice chimed in again but ignored it this time "No right to tell me what I should do, I have my freedom and I will do with it what I WANT. I may have once served the guardians. But I have long since learned that this world is beyond saving and not worth my time." Della snarled darting through the trees in order to close the distance between herself and Popo. "But while I do not care what happens to Kaladar, I also do not specifically want him dead. He's irrelevent to me, but you can guarantee his survival Popo." Della said giving the other genie vicious grin "I already told you I'd kill Kemuri once my fight with Azazel is done with, but how about this. You surrender now and I'll LET Azazel kill him, I'll hold back Anri or whatever I need to do to let it happen I don't mind how he dies as long as it happens." Della said pausing for a moment to let Popo think about the offer before continuing "But just so you know, surrender does not mean you live. Quite the opposite in fact. You give your life, and I will guarantee Kaladar's survival. I get everything I want, and so do you." Della said and with that she would begin to build up energy preparing an attack to use either in the event Popo accepted or if he rather foolishly attempted escape, regardless of what the other genie decided she had every intention of ending this encounter sooner rather than later.

It seemed that Popo’s words had gotten to her as she screamed at him for calling her that name. He definitely hit a nerve and he thought it was enough to cost him his life. She went on talking about her freedom and how she will do anything with it. Popo remembered the ring that he found many weeks ago. He began to wonder if she had broken free from that chain or if it still controlled her. If the latter was the case then she still had no free will and they still had a chance of controlling her. He wasn’t going to bring it up with her, she was already angry enough.
She darted through the trees, quickly closing the gap between them. Her speed was so fast, Popo lost sight of her for a mere second, that was until she was upon him. She then began to speak about Kaladar and that even though he meant nothing to her, she didn’t necessarily want him dead. Popo listened to her words with great interest. He didn’t know what the women was trying to tell him, but if it meant keeping Kaladar alive then he would continue to listen. She had always intended on killing Kemuri after her fight with Azazel. Looking up to the Lookout, Popo felt a massive amount of energy. Azazel wasn’t holding back, that much was clear.
The women said if Popo surrendered that she would guarantee Kaladars survival. Out of everything that was going on, that was the most important thing to the round genie. Kaladar was the guardian of Earth and he needed to survive this. Continuing to listen the rest of her plan was of no surprise to Popo. In order for her to guarantee Kaladars safety. He was going to have to sacrifice himself right now. He watched her begin to build up energy. Popo knew what he had to do, his life was quickly coming to an end.
“Kaladar, it looks like my time in Earth is ending. Have no worry my friend, I am sure we see each other again someday. If this women keeps her end of the deal, your life is no longer in danger. I do not know if I trust her, but there is nothing I can do. I need to make sure you are safe Kaladar.” Popo paused waiting for Kaladar to respond, but there was nothing but silence on the other end. Looking up once again, Popo knew Kaladar heard everything that was said. “Kaladar, teach Saito and Carla. Make them reach their true potential. They are your students now and even though I am no longer going to be there. I will always be watching you, my old friend.” and that was the last time Popo was going to speak to Kaladar.
Taking a few steps away from the armored women. “Alright, I agree to your terms. Right here, right now I will sacrifice myself to guarantee the safety of Kaladar. I will be the last to tell you Jenn, you better leave this planet after Kemuri dies, because if you don’t. Kaladar and Azazel aren’t the only people you are going to have to worry about. There are others who will know what you have done here.” Popo said closing his eyes waiting for his end to come.

It made things much more simple when Popo chose to stand his ground and listen as she spoke, him running would have made thing just slightly more annoying than if he chose to stay put and it also meant he was listening to her, he remained utterly silent as she spoke his expression remaining questioning up until she finally spoke what his end of the deal really meant. Death. She told him quite plainly that his surrender would achieve exactly what he wanted, a guarantee that Kemuri would fall today and all he needed to give in exchange was his surrender and by extension his life. Was he willing to give that much for Kaladar, for the Earth? Della watched with mild curiosity was the genie appeared to grow pensive for a moment, perhaps thinking on the situation or communicating with one or more of the others, what exactly he was doing was irrelevant in the long run. Not a few moments after his expression shifted he began to back away earning a raise of the eyebrow from Della, at first it appeared as if the other Genie was planning to make an escape rather than facing death but then he stopped and began to speak. "You weren't expecting him to actually surrender, were you?" the voice spoke up again cutting the silence that would fall after Popo gave what were almost certainly his last words and closed his eyes preparing for the end. Della's lips twitched in frustration as she summoned the Staff of One it's golden ringed top blazing with the same fiery aura as Della as she infused the staff with the power she had built up. "You thought he would run, or attack or do anything but actually give his life for them. I know why you did Della, you don't want him to be a good man. You were hoping he was someone like Ketsueki, and not someone like we were because then it would all be much easier, he'd be the bad guy not someone willing to do anything for his family. Because We both know now, that is certainly what he sees at least Kaladar as if not quite close, we would have done exactly the same for Sei or any of the others." the voice said causing Della to grit her teeth in frustration as she began to raise the staff in preparation for her attack. "I'm not worried about this Della, because I know you wont do it. We both were angry at his presence, because we saw him as" "A replacement, our replacement." Della cut the voice off glaring at the other Genie as he stood ready for what was to come "But we both know it's not that simple, it's been so long since we were trapped in the ring. At least a few THOUSAND years long enough for nearly everything about our existence to be erased. He has served when we could not and perhaps even for longer than we had. For as much as we have felt anger towards him it is BECAUSE of Popo that we were released again at all. He found the ring. Killing him will not change the fact that we were imprisoned, that was a choice made between us and Hazezon." "We can figure something out Della, I have just as much access to your memories as you did mine now. I know you want to find a better way for us to handle this, you are not as bad as you seem to paint yourself and you are not someone who would kill a good man just because your angry about something he had no control over. We can fix this together." "And how exactly would we do that" "The way we always do, magic." Della could practically FEEL her other half's grin as she let out a heavy sigh. "It's solved more or less all of our other problems, with a bit of digging and some work we can make it work Della, I know we can because if we're working together we have twice as much chance of figuring it out, we just have to work together, be one again if only for a short time." "Fine" came Della's answer after a few long moments "We do however have one last thing we need to deal with before we can work on that, Kemuri he's not a physical threat to us but he does not belong here. He'll damage the Earth far worse than anything we have seen and we both know it." Della nodded her response and cast a glance down onto Popo wondering for a moment if perhaps the other Genie might be piecing together what was happening with barely even half the conversation. "If you can disguise your power, do it now. Bring it as low as you possibly can and keep yourself silent, the less they know up there the less likely they are to give anything away by accident, tell only those who you think can put on a good show." Della spoke now clearly speaking to Popo "I'm going to hit you before you do power down, so brace yourself appropriately and try not to die by accident." and with that Della would take a swing at Popo with the staff releasing the pent up energy she had been building for his execution harmlessly just before the Staff of One would make impact with Popo's side, the blow would be a powerful one, enough to likely send Popo flying but far from a killing blow. "Lets go take back our home." Della muttered letting the staff de-materialize back into it's tattoo form, once the staff was gone she would let her arms stretch out to both sides and begin powering up to her full strength again, quickly she would cap out at the level of power that the bracers restrained her at but with her teeth gritted and her mind focused Della began to push past that barrier causing the bracers to glow brightly as they fought to keep her power in check, the bracers however would be quickly overpowered and with an explosion of gold and red energy they faded as Della once again became a blazing inferno with power that only one other on Earth could currently compare to and with the release of power Della would take to the sky climbing higher and higher until finally the Lookout and eventually the battles taking place around it came into view. [With that unless I am required to change anything, Della will be exiting and proceeding to one of the other threads.] [Requesting, PL(Heavy Weights) and 'Outcast' to be renamed to 'United'] [Della's exiting PL is 963,510]
