The creature watched with an irritated gaze as Orannis dismantled the pretty lady's spell. How rude of him it thought. Orannis still didn't seem to understand that he wasn't the only one whose grasp of the arcane was powerful. The titan read each and every string of energy as the destroyer wove his spells.
It clamped its two feet into the ground and leaned forward with its hands planted as well. A quick swell of energy pulsed from its chest to its throat. In a very strange display the creature opened its mouth and roared. The energy built inside of its throat echoing out with the roar. As the sound passed by the bolts it ripped them into pieces unwinding the energies they were created from, rendering them null. The energy from his throat was traveling along the sound wave from his roar, so this would effect all directions in a 360 degree spherical effect, so it didn't matter where the bolts were coming from, just that they were coming.
Having rendered another of the destroyer's attacks useless the creature sneered narrowing its sunken black eyes. It was getting very angry, and it wanted to lash out, strike back. But if it did it knew it would cause harm to Ziven and Aliator in the wake. So for now it would sit back and defend the two of them from Orannis' powerful onslaught and let them handle the offense.

* Ali started to run straight towards Orannis, letting Yawg be there to deal with the attackes aswell as Ziven providing potential support to them both. Ali was going to go on the offensive. While running Ali reached into his left back pocket and pick something out, keeping it within his clenched hand while the continued onwards. Waiting for an attack to try to harm him and possibly keep him away.*

Thankfully, it seemed that both Orannis and the Titan seemed to be rather evenly matched. The pair both were able to create and counter the actions each other sent flying. Tilting her head, she wondered if now would be the best time to try binding Orannis again. She found herself wishing her husband was there to consult on this issue. Slowly she turned her gaze to the titan, pondering if she should even bother asking it. Instead, she decided to ask; "Do you believe you can do permanent harm to Orannis without hurting everyone and anything around him?" she asked telepathically. Hoping it would at least politely decline her communication, rather than yelling at her via their minds as it had the last time, she needed clearer communication than thoughts and emotions embedded in magic.

The creature turned his attention to Ziven for just a moment. The message was received since he was much calmer now than when she tried to speak to it. It actually responded. A raspy hollow voice like what it spoke with "No...Destroy...Everything...Kill...All.." the raspy voice replied bluntly in her head. She could probably grasp from those few words it meant it couldn't without destroying and killing basically everyone. It was still too primitive to control its offensive abilities. Luckily for them its defensive ability and its ability to see and manipulate all forms of energy and power was in tact.

Energy rapidly pooled beneath the ground in several areas, though it was difficult to determine where specifically. Ziven would probably be able to sense that it was rooted somewhere very, very deep, but the energy pools seeped up to just beneath the surface in some places. In Senstren's body, Orannis' powers had been severely hampered. Now that he was in his proper form, his powers were near limitless. With Yawgmoth and Ziven momentarily distracted for one reason or another, Orannis put his full focus on Aliator. He blasted a mental command at the vampire to stay still. Having seen the fighter's willpower hold out in Death, Orannis would no longer underestimate him. The simplicity of the command would add to the probability of it being obeyed.

Though very primitive, the creature was a real Titan. One of the progenitors over the elements and the cosmic energies in the universe. It's instinct in understanding every form of energy and element was in tact. There wasn't anything it couldn't change, deflect, dismantle or re-produce. The problem with its primitive mind was in being able to control what it was doing. That's why it had mentally warned Ziven against it attacking. It could very likely destroy Orannis in a few attacks, but it couldn't do that without destroying everything, probably the entire syndicate grounds and everyone in it. Still, that didn't mean it couldn't help.
The Titan saw the universe through different black sunken eyes, the pools were not invisible to him. The strings of their energies were as clear as a bright light in the darkness. No power could hide from it. It watched tilting its head to the side as Orannis' mental energies moved through the air to Aliator. Not that anyone else would 'see' it like that. This required a unique understanding. "No...." it said watching the energy command. Then it got an idea and turned to Orannis. "You...instead..." and with those words it replicated the command it had just seen. Using its power to command the Destroyer to stay still in the same way he had commanded Aliator.

*Ali abruptly stopped in his tracks and simply starred at Orannis, having a rather hallow look in his eyes and even drooling from his mouth. Oh he stood still alright, starring at Orannis with wide eyes. Reaching out with his left hand towards him, his arm clearly trembling. A piece of metal was in his left hand, held up towards Orannis as if he was offering a present for a few seconds before he made a motorboat sound with his mouth that sent saliva flying and dropping the piece of metal to the ground. Ali starring at the ground, then straight back at Orannis. Using his abillity to manipulate gravity to force all of Orannis's hands to stay close to his body, Then watching as a large teal beam came down straight towards Orannis at high velocity. Ali's orbital particle cannon, constructed to deal with Titus or other large nasty things that wanted to pick a fight. It destroyed things at a molecular level and were designed to abort itself once it reached a certain depth into the earth. Ali's willpower was one of a kind, he never followed anyone's order unless it benefitted him and if they tried to make him do something against his will then he would, with help from the parasite "Critter" inside, completely put his mind in a state of lockdown. Not even the daughter of Dracula had managed to control him, and she had the natural abillity to command vampire beneath her aswell as necromancer magic. Ali's behavious had been a simple act. Though this was what Ali intended all along with his behaviour and by designate Orannis as the target with the small metal device, Ali were ready to move just incase.*

As it replied to her, a pained expression wore on her face for a moment. Considering their options, she was still feeling unsure as to which direction to go. For the moment, Orannis did not seem to be wanting to go anywhere. Taking this as an invitation to fight, she pressed on with her attacks.
Inhaling deeply, she again spent a moment concentrating before making a rather grand, sweeping motion with her hands. As she did, sections of the earth near to and just beneath Orannis began to tremble. Some of the soil broke in to giant chunks, some places exposed boulders and when all else failed, the tall trees remained as the soil around their heavy roots crumbled off. All these sections again went flying across the landscape, headed directly for Orannis.
This action, however, was a diversion. Not knowing what energies were being pooled together, she chose to seal them off from each other and from Orannis. Globes of energy, much like her shields, formed around the pools, slowly building in strength. It would be a challenge to break through any of these barriers even now, but left unchallenged, it would be nigh impossible for anyone but Ziven to release the energies contained behind the barriers.

Orannis completely ignored the redirection of the command, as he was not an Undead entity. Feeling the binding on his hands, and seeing the sorceress' magic, he spread his wings and flapped, sending a strong gust of wind towards the three and catapulting him backwards, missing the laser cannon by inches. As he did this, he detonated the energy pockets beneath the ground, causing massive sections of ground under the fighters to fall in. This, in combination with Ziven's spell resulted in large amounts of the battlefield flat out missing. He was strong enough to resist the gravity attack, but the fact that they were finally working in unison made him nervous. Grabbing the silver sphere that he had emerged from, he continued flapping his wings and lifted it away from the expanding chasm and the laser beam.

Despite its primitive mind, there was still instinct. Nothing was stronger than the instinct to kill and survive. It saw Orannis move backwards and up away from them. The ground beneath them crumble in spots where the pools it had felt earlier. This was it, this was the opportunity it wanted. It pushed its legs deep into the sinking ground and lept into the air. If it assumed right, Ziven and Ali would have to do something similar to avoid falling into the ever expanding chasm that was being created. This was perfect. With them in the air away. As long as neither of them were stupid to try and go after Orannis this would be over soon.
As it flew through the air it began to gather its own powers an all too familiar spiraling red orb starting to form between its forward pointing horns. A slight shade of red lightning crackling over them. A pulse ran out from the creature's body and small strings of black entwined with the red as the orb shrunk in size from being about beach ball size to being about basketball. The compression of such powerful ancient energies sent a disruptive wave through the air that would unnerve the senses. Then it launched. Using the horns as guiding points like a landing strip. The spiraling red and black orb rocketed towards the destroyer.
It was volatile and wicked fast as it tore through the air like tissue paper. Any attempt to try and dispel it, disrupt it or otherwise contact it would cause it to explode. Its explosion would make the orbital laser cannon look like a childrens squirt gun. Anyone stupid enough to get caught in the wake was almost assured death. If Ali were impulsive and lept after the Destroyer he would get caught, if Ziven were foolish enough to get close to attempt finishing any kind of spell, she'd get caught. And then of course there was its target. While something like Orannis was probably powerful enough not to disintegrate under its power, direct contact would still be very very dumb. It would easily cause severe injury, enough to re-seal him without much fuss. The creature's face intently watched hoping neither of its friends were trying to immediately counterattack. Opportunity had knocked and it opened the door, regardless of who else it consumed in the wake.

She sensed that it was going to attack and sheer panic crossed her mind. With a pop, she appeared next to him, hovering as he was. Gingerly she reached her hand out to him, touching his right forearm with her left hand. Pulsing a thought of fear and caution to him on instinct, she watched for a moment with wide eyes, pausing for a moment to make sure if he was actually thinking straight. Either way, it was too late.

*Having the ground crumble below him didn't affect Ali much as he would simply levitate himself, applying gravitational pressure below his shoes to allow him to move in thin air as if he was still moving around on the ground. Now while Yawg was busy attacking, Ali decided to ready up an attack of his own just incase.*

Holding the sphere with both hands and trying to maintain altitude above the chasm, Orannis had nowhere to go. Hastily, he drew in as much power as he could with the orb bearing down on him. The orb drew closer and closer until Orannis decided it was too close for comfort. Opening his mouth, he spit out a beam of raw Free Magic energy in the form of what appeared to be white and red lightning. He aimed the blast to intercept the titan's attack. He could probably withstand the attack himself, but the sphere might not, which was not a risk he was willing to take. These beings were causing much more trouble than he had expected emerging from his prison. He had waited too long for freedom to be sent back now.

The creature snarled noting the counterattack to try and stop it. If it had more of a mastery on its abilities and more thought in its head it probably would have dismantled his free magic attack before it hit so the spiralling orb would crash into the destroyer directly, but alas it didn't think of that fast enough and the two attacks collided in a fantastic explosion. The sphere of raw cosmic power erupted literally turning the sky blood red with its immense force. The gale winds produced by its detonation would probably even prove difficult for Ali to gain control of without extreme concentration. To say the explosion was large would be an understatement. It would be visible across the entire syndicate grounds and maybe even from Ali's city Euphoria.
The Titan tilted its head to the side knowing it had not made direct contact as the winds rushed past it causing it to move back a few inches from the force. Its purple tongue hung from its mouth and licked around before sliding behind its skeletal jaws. It turned to Ziven who had fortunately touched it after it was too late and thus had avoided contacting the creature while it was gathering its primal energy. Being around it and in close proximity already had adverse effects, had she been a few seconds sooner in touching it she probably would have fainted from her sensitivity. It slung its right forearm shrugging her off with a growl. It was warning her to stay back in case it had to strike again, less she be hurt. Had it succeeded? It couldn't tell. Even if it didn't, it noted the strings of energy it could see around Ali and nodded approvingly.

*With a orb gathering itself in his hand, Ali had moved towards orannis when he saw that he tried to counterattack Yawgs attack. This meant he had to move through the blast, something he even did. The shockwave didn't hamper him much as Ali made sure his way to Orannis was without obstruction, and while the energy of the blast did cause his skin shirt and parts of his skin to tear aswell as start smoking due to it's heat. Again Ali shurgged it off for the time being. Since Orannis was busy with Countering Yawgs attack, there was no way he would notice Ali hurling itself towards him with a small orb. Especially in all the chaos that was around him now. Thus reaching Orannis was easy, upon touching his stomach the orb shot outwards and around to cover Orannis's stomach, chest and back. Then detonating around him in pure raw energy. The effect would be similar to a man who had a vest with C4 on him, only more powerful as you delt with more powerful entities here. Ali's goal had been to blow Orannis's body in half aswell as remove most of his arms and his wings entirely. Leaving him crawling on the ground by his remaining arms only and with his entrails pouring out behind him, as for Ali the force of his own detionation was powerful enough to send him flying back with rather heavy injuries. But that was just a positive thing for Ali as it would either indicate that it had worked or the revelation that it didn't aswell as the pain would just enrage him even further and increase his powers even further.*
