Aruna
"Nonesense, you don't love me, only yourself, or what 'yourself' even is. Just because we share an understanding doesn't mean I accept all of your feelings! Flippant, trite, fragile: those emotions are what i'd describe you as. What does a mass of human desire need with affection, friendship or love?" he asked, finally standing up to face the man. The blade of darkness extended, doubling in size as it was filled with light.
"Before you die, tell me why! Why do you feel these things?!"
Aruna's voice cracked, booming through the very sky above them. Aruna's arm shined with a blinding light that rivaled the brightest star.

ZEKE
Dying, huh? If only it were so easy... then I wouldn't have to disappoint you.
And a blade of death shot through the air. With grit teeth and a pained expression, it smashed on his ribs and cut him down with such force, his shell cracked all over the blow with a final gasp. Hurled to the side, he fell haphazardly at a speed even he couldn't overtake.
Beyond that speed, a kick smashed straight towards Lucy's jaw. How?
[DRUNKEN STYLE]?
No.
[CAPOIERA]?
No!
[CUSTOM MADE]
YES YES YES YES!!
Seeing through her attack's nature, he shifted his center of gravity and used the momentum like a whip. This way, he could deliver this blow exactly while falling. You might liken it to one of those training dummies that attack you as you hit, the spinning ones. That too, he took from a ninja movie. It was nothing short of a miracle, an impossibility that a man of his power simply couldn't replicate. A fighter who knew as much as the basics of close quarters would see through it and dodge it barely. It was a strategy that would never work on a monster like Valerie, let alone an Archangel, one who rules over miracles.
But Zeke didn't plan. He gambled. And thanks to his struggles, he refined his movements to grab onto this miracle. This was perseverance that could only belong to a mortal. Could Lucy face it head-on? After all -
Isn't... it obvious? I'm only... human...!!!
And so, the blow rushed to connect with unparalleled vigor, reaching for the divine territory of their power head-on! Using this opening, he would go all out and strike with all he had to turn the tables. To assault her with claws, kicks, punches, elbows, rocketing blows and everything at his disposal.

Lulu
SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH
The kick split the air with his unyielding determination, the determination that would seize a miracle eve from the jaws of defeat. Such was his determination yet-
It could never reach her.
Not because of some divine intervention bending his attack out of the way, not even because she narrowly dodged it by moving at just the right time. In fact she didn't move at all. There was a much simpler explanation for it.
He was in the wrong place.
The length of his leg could never match up to the length of her blade, not in this form at least. That one miscalculation turned his whole comeback upside down.
"Begone!"
And the moment his kicked passed the halfway, yes the very moment it became apparent that it would miss, her sword moved on it's own accord interdependent of her arms. It followed Zeke's momentum and was going to use it to pick him up and hurl him away.
"Aruna let it go. It is what it is. You'd do a lot better if you learned to accept things at face value."

Aruna
A small chuckle filled the destroyed ruins of the mansion. Then it grew into a low bellowing laugh. Eventually it evolved into the cackle of a maniac.
So you've accepted yourself then?
Aruna's body, arm, blade and wings shining with light, flew beside the clash, his red demonic eyes making contact with Lulu for the briefest moment. The demon's muscular back stood in the path of the man being catapulted into the sky. The second the shockwave from the strike was felt, Aruna's back would open up, allowing Zeke to pass through. A flurry of slashes carved by the dark blade of shining light would slice through his body, threatening to cut him into ribbons.
"I hurt you because I took you at face value, but my values, yet now the angel of love says I should take Zeke only at face value. Thinking deep or shallow, I wonder when that sort of thing is appropriate. Perhaps that is my true folly."
The demon never once had to utter another word. The demon of light and dark were connected to both. The shadow of Zeke and the Light of Lulu, their minds both came to him. Was this coincidence or fate? If it was fate, then perhaps that is the one force greater than even the gods.

ZEKE
What?! The lack of impact against his foot was the only warning he got that something went terribly wrong. But even if he wanted to regret it, he had no time before the gigantic blade smashed straight AGAINST HIS VERY BODY!! It dragged him away, sealing every power at his disposal.
The ground is the sky... the sky is the ground... where am I... this laughter...
But not his body.
It pivoted on the sword as he flew towards the demon, moving unorthodoxly to brace his vessel from the impact and use the blade as a platform. And just as Aruna's sword slashed at him a couple of times, he kicked away from the sword despite the gash that it opened up - and unlocked his magic to blast away straight past the demon. He avoided the full combo, but just for a moment, the gaping abyss and Aruna's gaze met.
And the abyss looked back, with something utterly unseen sleeping inside.
And it spoke.
"Mael is alive."
And with a burst of light, the comet boomed to fly away
