The demon he had already hit was basically fried. Apparently, since it was a machine (or cyborg, rather), it was shorted out and knocked out. The other two demons opened up metallic wings and flew quickly, with the help of jetpacks.
Skylos then corrected himself. "Anything, except us combining attacks. That would neutralize the temperature, which is their weakness." He put his light mirror out in front of him to act as a shield, if Neon failed in averting them.

"Right..." Neon said as tentacles of darkness would shoot up after the demons attempting to engulf them one by one.

One demon was swatted out of the air and crash landed, covered in frost. He recovered and fired his claws as missiles at Neon.
The other demon was able to dodge, but Skylos's shield caused it to bounce back and land on its feet. It charged at Skylos.
Skylos's shield broke, so he had to go on offense. He summoned light lightning and the lighting arc al laround the demon in front of him.

Darkness surrounded Neon making a dome as the claw exploded around him. As the smoke covered a large darkness hand attempted to grab the demon.

More claws extended from his hand. The demon opened its mouth a fired a particle beam at the darkness hand, atempting to blow it up.
The demon in front of Skylos shorted and fell over in a heap of smoke. "Neon...I think yours is Greater rank; it seems stronger than the other three." He called out.

Neon would show no reaction as the darkness hand was destroyed. As it blew up bits and peices of darkness fell around him as they all would attempt to form together around him to engulf him once again.

The Steel Demon seemed to be asessing the data, but was confused by the pieces all around him. His reaction led him to jump up into the air and fire a flamethrower from his left arm, down at the reforming particles.

They were burned away as Neon narrowed his eyes. He would move his hands in a weird formation as he thrusted it forward. Darkness would thrust from the ground back into it then out then back in like a serpant going through water.

The demon fixated his scanners to the darkness and responded to it by acertaining the rate of the darkness going up and down, and also taking account of the speed in which it was traveling. It also calculated the travel-pattern, so that it could guess where it would end up. When he saw the timing, he opened fire on the darkness with light infused bullets.

The darkness would be pelted by light bullets again and again. While the demon was doing this a dark portal opened in the air abit above him as neon came out with his black staff charged with electricity attempting to stab the demon.

The demon had failed to calculate the probability of this atatck being a ruse, and suffered from electric damage.
At the same moment, Skylos used his white lightning, and the rod acted as a lightning rod, and shocked the demon further.
The demon grunted and shut down. Its body crashed into the ground, unmoving.
"Whew. We did it. Great going, Neon!"

Neon would of been on its back as he pulled the staff out of its back and stood on the body. He looked at Skylos as his staff vanished.
"Same to you...I don't think we would of found them without you." Neon said as he looked down. "We should get rid of the bodies.."

Skylos nodded. "I have a feeling that that will be taken care of for us." And he was quite right.
Zephyr made his entrance from the woods nearby and crossed his arms. He walked to each demon and touched them on the head. Each one would vanish in a time hole. "That should do it." He smiled, and walked over to meet Skylos.
"That would be Zephyr, Neon."

Neon stared at Zephyr. He matched everything Skylos had said about him including the blue lance. Neon was interested in scanning his aura. It really did feel like....a ghost.

Zephyr's aura was made of the element of water, but mainly of Dimension. Actually, the latter was so potent that it made Skylos take a step back as he thought to scan him this time too. Zephyr waved a bit. "Not very talkative, eh? Oh well. It's not like there's much time to talk anyways."
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard.
Skylos grinned. "I heard the gunshot heard around the world!" He laughed.

Neon heard the gunshot as well not seeing why skylos was laughing but at the same time not really caring.
"Zephyr..." Neon said. "Just who exactly are you...?"

"I was a Dimension Guardian once, but not anymore. I wasn't even supposed to exist anyways... No matter. Just keep following my clues, and I'll be put to rest." He related, somewhat solemnly.
Skylos frowned. "Alright..." But before he could continue, a time hole appeared and sucked Skylos and Neon in.

Neon would of tried to speak out but got sucked in as the feeling came back to him. His body seemed to be as light as a feather as his feet hit the ground. He was able to keep his balance trying to hide the dizziness as the room would finally stop spinning.

Skylos was quite used to it by now. Though he wasn't used to being thrown back so abruptly. "Uff...He always does that! Oh well. We've saved history." he cheered. The time book glowed and the Time Runes vanished. "Shall we head for the cabin? We can teleport this time, so people don't look at us strangely."

"Yes i'd rather we do that..." Neon said as darkness would cover him and he would dissapear back into the cabin.

Skylos snapped and ended up where Neon had teleported. He sat down on the couch and heaved out a sigh. "That was tough." he retrieved his Tome of Power from his pocket and opened to Steel Demons. "...Omni wasn't kidding when he wrote this. 'Avoid if you can; very dangerous.'"

"Caleb...." Neon said looking at caleb. "Thanks for...bringing me along. It wasn't a total waste of my time." He said. That was about as nice as Neon could make it.

Skylos chuckled. Neon's way with words was...noteworthy. "You're welcome, Neon." He flipped through a few pages. "By the way...The Tome of Power contains abilities that we both can learn. I'll look up something new for you when I get a chance...But for now. I think I'll go rest." he yawned.

"I'd like that..." Neon said. "I will go rest too...If you need me i'll be on the roof." He said stepping outside and using darkness to go on the roof and lay down staring at the clouds above.

Skylos made his way to his room and curled up to sleep on his bed.
[And that's all for this chapter. Now to Wendy's arc!]
