"Saber!" A shout echoed through out the battlefield and from the dust the silhouette of a woman with a top had emerged. Saber would recognize it to be Zatanna. "I have to tell ya my illusion was way nicer then this. Are you okay? Where's Lucifer?"
Saber Alter swung her blade down, cleaving yet another foe in her path. She ignored it, looking around the city with a scowl and dashed off in a random direction. What sort of illusion was her master in? This place was Hell- Complete with demonic forces and she privately wondered if he was a masochist or if strife was just his nominal state of being, where he felt most comfortable. She needed height.
She ran up the side of a building, flipping her way to the top as she stared out at the expanse of fire, bombardment from the skies and general terror spreading over the city. There was no border she could see, nothing beyond the limits. Which made sense, as this illusion was not hers. It was meant for another sort of fly entirely.
She needed help.
She stabbed her sword into the side next to her and called out.
"IS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE?!"

Meanwhile, had Lucifer time to think he would have questioned things. Such as how he was able to keep scavenging new weapons, including his own. Or why the children he was watching never really needed water or other essentials, no matter how far or fast they ran. Or how he seemed to always have a burst of strength, at the exact time he needed when it came down to fight.
Battle fever they called it. When you thought of nothing but the fight before you, where survival- Kill or be killed was the only question. Had he been concerned for himself alone, he would have questioned this long ago. As he wasn't...
War was in his blood and he had seen far, far too much of it for it to not have any effect on his psych. The guilt of survival where friends did not, the weariness, the hurt. The Mists of Silent Earth targeted the weakest point of a victims psych...For him, it was always his PTSD. His pathological need to keep others from being in the same boat, the urge to protect.
And it played him like a damned fiddle as he moved back into the fray.
