Once again, Orion nods, before leaning on the railing. Crowd getting riled up already.

Lata looks over the railing beside Orion. She gave a small hum in thought. There was certainly going to be a disaster when everything was over. Thinking of Cas, she hoped that they could at least save Balthazar while they were in the large stadium. He had seemed so worried for him. She didn't quite understand the system of seconds and such, but knew there was a special bond there. Biting her lip, she watched as the fighting was about to begin.

(get ready for the longest paragraph I will probably ever write in an rp)
The god of music, Zashi, finished speaking to Volt. Grinning, he flipped his large visor over his face as the metal platform he was on began to move. He flicked his wrist, and a microphone appeared in his hand. He moved until he was hovering in the middle of the stadium, which happened to be right at the group's eye level. Spotlights came on, their bright light focusing on him as he grinned at the audience. "Gods, golems, and everything between! Welcome to the Molhaven Coliseum, where the fight of the millennium is about to commence! I'm your host, the god of music himself, Zashi, and my cohost Volt is up in the announcer's stage as I speak!" he said, his voice booming out over the crowd as he pointed to Volt in the small building jutting from the coliseum's wall right above them. "I'll be providing the gory details from right here, bringing you blow-by-blow commentary! Now, let me hear you! ARE YOU READY?!" he shouted out to the crowd, pointing exaggeratedly at them as creatures of all shapes and sizes roared in applause. "Now, let's get started!"

(woooo nice, Shin)
Lata watched as the fighters were announced, frown obvious on her face. Only five minutes until Orion would be sent down into the arena. She held the glowing crystal that Lucy had given her in her left palm, praying things would go smoothly.

Lucy’s lips pursed as she watched the scene play out in front of her. Something bad had to happen. It was going to be a battle, of course something terrible would take place. She thought back to the hex bag that she had yet to get rid of. She told herself that she wouldn’t use it, but if it was necessary… God, she had no self control, it was pathetic.

(ok time for more long paragraphs)
Loud rock music began playing from speakers around the stadium, and chanting began to rise from the crowds. "Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Tonight, we bring you the demon king Vos's very own son, the prince of demons himself, Kaon!" Zashi shouted. The demons around the stadium erupted into cheers and shouting, flames and insects and all manner of things spewing from the crowds in cheer. A chant began among the demons, shouting along with the music as they cheered.

"N-O-N-E of the A-B-O-V-E!" they shouted, the music growing to a crescendo. There was suddenly an enormous bolt of violet lightning that rocked the coliseum, striking in one corner of the arena. It crackled and flashed, the demons erupting into louder cheering as the electricity finally faded, leaving a smirking, human-looking man where it struck. He looked mean, all tattoos and piercings and a leather jacket over a NASA hoodie, but he smiled at the crowds with an air of someone who was a protector rather than a killer. He did a small bow, and the demons gave one final, loud cheer.

"There's Kaz," Cas murmured softly, a look of concern on his face. "Poor kid doesn't know what he's doing."

Lata swore she heard a voice call out, "Dad!" when 'Kaon' entered the arena.

Cas looked up, immediately recognizing the voice that called out 'dad.' "Oh gods, Malachi!" Cas yelled, getting up from his seat. He scanned the area until he found a small boy who couldn't be older than 12 a few rows down. He ran over to him, taking his hand gently and leading him up to their seats. Sam and Lillith gave him a questioning look as Cas sat the boy down next to him. "Malachi, what are you doing here? You should be at home! Argo was supposed to be watching you!"

Malachi glared up at Cas. "You're going to make sure he's alright, aren't you?" he asked, ignoring the question. Lata was with Sam and Lilith on this one. How did a little kid get here on his own? Well, she was young, but supposed she was allowed in because she came with the others

"Yes, uncle Cas is gonna make sure everything's okay. I'm going to push Argo into a bed of nails for letting you off on your own later, but I'm going to make sure you're both okay. We're gonna help uncle Michael and aunt Erik while we're here too, so no one get's hurt, okay?" Cas said.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what? When the hell are you an uncle? And when the hell did you get along with Argo of all people?" Lillith said, glaring at Malachi suspiciously

Malachi seemed to calm down at this until he turned, seeing Lilith glaring at him. He glanced down at the ground, not knowing what he did to upset her.
Lata stayed back, watching the interaction.
"For once, I'm with Lilith on this. Uncle?"

"I'm more or less that idiot down there's honorary older brother. I've been watching out for his ass since he summoned me when he was 12. This kid," he said, ruffling Malachi's hair, "is Kaz's adopted son. Him and his boyfriend have been taking care of him for a little while now." Lillith just folded her arms, still skeptical. Sam simply looked confused. He didn't really care to try and understand family relations when it came to most species, it was just a little too confusing for him

Malachi perked back up as Cas messed up his hair. He smiled up at him, and then looked back towards the others. Turning back to Cas, he asked him to not blame Argo. It was his idea in the first place.

Cas sighed. "Argo must have wanted to give you a tour of the city and had no idea where your dad had gone. I'll have to find hi-" He was cut off by a strange-looking demon shouting his name and making its way through the crowd.

"Cassiel! Cassiel!" it called, waving a large, clawed hand. It was a strange demon, with its head being that of a narrow wolf's with small, starry antlers. Its fur fell in mats along its neck, and its fuzzy, snake-like tail whipped back and forth as it ran through the stands. It seemed to have no eyes at first, but there was a single white one on its forehead and several small ones covering its body. Cas frowned at it.

"Argo? Is that you?" he asked suspiciously

Malachi tilted his head for a second and then recognised his antlers. "Uncle Argo!" he called out, running towards him.
Lata just sat there unsure of what to do with herself.

Argo breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god, there you are Malachi! You ran off, and that's dangerous here!" he said. As he walked his monstrous features began to dissolve until he was a tall, lightly tanned man with dark circles under his eyes and messy black hair. He scooped Malachi up in a hug, nearly lifting him off the ground. "Jeez kiddo, your dads would have killed me if you got hurt!"

Lata was really, really confused at this point, but for once kept quiet.
Malachi grinned but it quickly fell. "Father maybe, but Dad's already here," he said pointing at Kaz standing inside the center of the arena.

Argo seemed to freeze. Setting Malachi down gently, he stood to look down at the stadium. "What the FUCK?!" he shouted loudly, waving his arms at the realization. He turned to Cas, eyes wide. "What the FUCK?!" he repeated, radio getting staticy as he shouted. Cas put his hands up in surrender.

"I don't know, I think they all got captured and thrown in here."

Malachi winced at the profane language. He watched his dad in the stadium, Kaz having a forced grin on his face as the crowd cheered.

Lata nearly laughed at Argo's cursing. She had been quite used to the words due to her past. Still curious how the young boy managed to get in, she ignored it and instead walked up to Sam. "You wouldn't happen to be an uncle too, would you?" she asked with a smirk

(Des you should randomly yeet Vaughn in just like 'I followed you bc I was worried where the fUCK ARE WE')
