Madison watched Regelion's performance and just smiled, she wouldn't try to one up him for a second time and let her husband to be win this round. Instead she quickly sped up and caught up to the man and give him a look of delight. Some time had past and Malvior was close now they would be at the entrance in a matter of minutes...if it wasn't for the army of Von Karma men and creatures in their way.

"It looks like they knew we were coming, but how?" Madison asked not really expecting an answer. "No matter, they stand in our way so they must be but to rest." Madison says with a low growl impatiently waiting for battle.

Madison sped up a head of Regelion to engage the enemy first. Arrows came flying down oh her but she easily evaded them and managed to pluck one from the air, she spun it around and jumped on to the nearest unfortunate soldier and drove the arrow through the man, he fell to the ground dead in a puddle of his own blood. Two men quickly moved to strike her with swords at the same time but Madison let herself fall back to dodge the swords, her hands caught the ground and her legs went toward the sky, she spun and kicked the two man hard on the helmet and still knocked them out. Madison back flipped into the army of men, they quickly responded and all rushed in at once, as Madison hoped they'd do. "I take no pleasure in killing the weak!" she yelled gathering fire to her closed fist then slammed it into the ground causing the earth around her to roll with fire, causing the enemy be thrown back and set ablaze. Madison looked up to see a black cloud of arrows drifting down over her. A faint smile washed a crossed her lips as the arrows started tattering the ground around her, she danced around arrows as the rained down, some of them grazed her causing blood to stream down her skin but tis only flesh wounds.

The General sat in her throne room and even though she could not see it she could feel her men getting killed in bundles. This excited and angered her all at the same time she couldn't wait to fight these orb users unless they where to get killed.

Madison ran to Regelion then jumped and used him as a spring broad to propel her up the cities wall. She made quick work of the archers and creates that were raining down on them. The wolf was covered in the blood of her fallen enemies and a smile crept across her mouth, in truth she was a being of war and dealing death was her nature.

Foot soldiers lined the cities ground and began to throw spears at Madison but the wolf was to fast and none got even close. Madison got bored of this quickly and used her orb to stop time then summoned flames to her hands then rolled it into a large orb of fire held in between both hands. She tapped into the time orb once again and sped up the fires molecules then sends the orb to the men of the ground. The molecules of the fire are sped so fast it causes an explosion incinerating the men and creatures in a blink of an eye leaving only ash behind. Time is restored and Madison falls to her knees having over done herself a bit and would need to rest to regain her strength.

Speculum raised his head and looked around. He searched his surroundings thoroughly but he couldn't spot Naiyao. Slowly, his muscles aching from the electricity he got up. A small smile formed on his lips as the electricity and the pain swept into the earth. His feet still burned with pain though, having directed the electricity into the ground. had Naiyao been more thoughtful she would have tried to keep him away from the ground as long as possible to let the shock do it's work to the end. Speculum looked up at the sky, the scout had returned and driven the two Tao apart. The three gigantic, winged creatures now slowly sunk o the ground. The scout leapt off her mount and nodded at Speculum in respect: "I watched you battle my leader. A glorious fight indeed, the enemy lies defeated." She pointedly ignored Speculum's former condition of mind.

Speculum nodded back and looked at the ground, indeed only one or two metres away from him lay the broken form of his prey. He staggered over to her and checked vital signs: "Load her onto my mount. I want to bring her before the eldest for judgement." He rose to his feet again as the scout followed his orders without hesitation. Without anymore problems Speculum climbed onto the Tao's back and rose into the air. The other two Tao followed suit. As the three flew towards the village Speculum remained silent, glancing back at at Naiyao from time to time. He had done it yet he did not feel complete.

After much time within the Hunters home, Naiyao remains still unconcious. Her body had succumb from so much damage from their previous fight that she could not bring herself forward again.. but it was not the end. Though her body remained undone, her mind stayed strong. She could see herself... she looked down upon herself through her mind, having been concentrating her mana for so long. Though she remains limp at the floor, each vein of her body lights with the mana that exists within all beings. The time approaches.. For weeks inside of the Hunters base, her judgment has been placed on hold. All at the direct command of Speculum. Speculum had desired something, he wanted something more then just to defeat her as she was. He wanted a true fight, and Naiyao wanted to give it her all. Weeks upon weeks she had laid there, injured yet healing. Her healing process was unnaturally slow and none could discover why... Until finally..

From Naiyao's body a rush of energy began to flow, pure mana becoming visible in a rainbow variety of colors. Her eyes bursted open with her left palm opening, pushing off against the ground with her hand as she pushed herself back into the air, her eyes searched quickly though she was immediately in control of the situation. "I have to work fast..!" She brought one hand back and the other hand forward, then reversed her hands positions so they met, then reversed as her opposite hand thrust forward, then they both moved to her sides then back again, an ancient glyph symbol forming at her front. "Now..! INDIGNATION!" focusing as the Lightening Orb heard her cry, after much time it had become familiar with her bodies significant signature, she could perform her artes from within her body alone. An electric current ran through her veins then repulsed itself using a portion of the mana that she had gathered through so much time, sending out power that could not be withstood. She used this power to blow through the inner walls of the Hunter's home. She spins around quickly as the lightening is grasped in two individual blades, her eyes locking. Using her speed, Naiyao quickly pushed forward and rushed to her 'home-made' exit. As the light would shine upon her, she would push off both of her feet and leap high into the air to look down at the homeland of Speculum.. She wondered what had happened in the time that she had been in captivity...

The wind blew as brutally as ever as Speculum looked at sun rising on the horizon. Something was calling out for him to come and look at the orb of light rising to bring day to the world. Personally he prefered nighttime, the time of the hunter, when unwary prey could easily be caught. Speculum loved a good fight but there was something to eliminating your prey with amazing ease, with a single blow killing it. He had oftened wondered how humans could be so careless about their life once night dropped. Did they truly think that all beings slept at the same time and they'd be able to rest in peace. Well they did rest without being disturbed once they had payed for their foolishness.

For some reason he started laughing. He felt something creep up his spine, causing him to shiver. He laughed for some more but then he stopped. He felt a sharp, all too familiar pain. He smiled, she was awake! As if reacting to his emotions, the wind orb blazed brightly. The wind started to seriously pick up now, Speculum's cloak blown past him on his right. To his left he could see a figure leap out of the rock. His eyes widened in pleasure. It really was her! He had known she wouldn't simply give up. He had known it all that time. A tao leapt into the air, packed with warm clothing and food for a pretty long journey. It easily caught the girl as she leapt. Speculum smiled once more, next time they met he'd fight her to the death but first he had to make sure she made it through till then. He finally let go of the word that had been going through his head for many weeks in an animalistic roar:

"NAIYAO!!!!!"

Naiyao had brought her hands back, her goggles had been missing as well as the cloak from her father. More disturbing then this was her weapons. She was unarmed, unprepared for a large scale fight. Perfect... she said with a smirk of courage. The beast was beneath her now, she had expected more wicked results. Perhaps a counter assault by the hunters of Speculum's village but this was not how it was. She road into the sky on the beast as it would send out a call at her command, and with the fury of a thousand warriors Naiyao had leaned her head back and let out a fierce roar. "NOW WE FINISH THIS!!" With her furious battle call, she had leaned into the beast and commanded it, setting the coordinates for her next location. Von Karma was not sleeping this entire time like her, he was advancing his plan. What the rebels would be up to at this point was unknown to her, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was accomplishing her goal. Her beast traveled swiftly through the skies toward the first location, Sol-nub, expecting a cold welcome when she would arrive. Whatever she would have to face, she would do it with a heart of courage... she had expected another though not soon. The Hunter.. Speculum.. he would be hot on her trail soon enough and revenge was fresh in her mind. Next step.. Liberation!

Victor was not doing as well as he could have been. His clothes were shredded and bloodstained, his skin skin spattered in equal measure with dirt and dried blood. Angry red lines were present on the skin of his cheeks where the tears had streamed down them. He sat in the shadow of a half ruined building, unable to risk going inside lest it collapse. Several more people sharing Victor's condition sat nearby: what was left of the rebellion. While all were dishevelled and dirty, they shared the fact that each and every one of them had no wounds. Victor had arrived in time to join in the rebellion, and had originally been on medic and support duty. After a few battles, he'd worked his way into a position of authority. It amazed Victor how quickly he'd managed the feat; it had only been a few weeks, but it seemed the rebels of Sol'nube trusted him, and for good reason: the men under Victor's command survied.

One of the rebels detatched himself from the crowd and approached Victor. It was Simon, the effective second-in-command, though Victor wasn't one to enforce the ranks. "Maxim, sir," the man started with Victor's last name. Victor wasn't sure why. "Von Karma's goons are still all over the place, what are we doing exposed like this? It's been too long already; we're getting restless."
Victor nodded. He'd once again forgotten that not everyone could see in all directions at once, from several different vantage points. When it came to gathering tactical information, it was hard to do better than Victor. What Simon didn't know yet was that the patrols near the building they'd chosen were almost non existant. And even further, the supply caravan they were waiting for was just around the corner. Food, tools, clothing, and general utilities were still being shipped to Sol'nube under Von Karma's rule, but to actually get those supplies to the people they'd had to get...creative.
Victor told Simon as much. "Don't worry," he said. "Neither Von Karma's drones or that servant Davis will notice us in this place, and the stuff is nearly here. In fact, there it is."
As the rebels turned to look, a caged wandered into view. Inside the cage were several Leerows, holding perfectly still, with their posture locked into attack formatio. Surrounding the cage were several soldiers in armor styled in Von Karma's color, and adorned with his symbol. Victor held up a hand to prevent the rebels from attacking on pure instinct. "Come on," Victor chided, "I told all of you it would look like this." He approached the cage, opening it with assistance from one of the soldiers, who first removed his helmet, revealing himself to be Ja'kal, one of the rebel leaders. Victor kicked over a Leerow, revealing it to be a hollow replica.
"Fake," Ja'kal confirmed. "And filled to the stitches with everything we need. There's a trap door in the bottom of the wagon, too, for what we couldn't fit in the Leerow." After a few moments, Ja'kal flashed a fierce grin, looking Victor up and down. "I think you're playing the bum disguise a little too hard, there, Maxim. I liked the fake monster idea, but this is too much."
Victor laughed, feeling good for the first time in a long while. "Just get the clothes and armor, Jackie. This part of town's nearly dead, and I'm thinking of setting up shop near here. Lots of good hiding places."
At that point Simon joined in, saying, "There're some tunnels and basements in this area, but for the last several months they've been crawling with monsters. It's why we haven't moved much here. I figure that's also why the patrols avoid it, if they're really gone."
Victor nodded. "Really? Well, then, it's time for us to clear the infestation." Victor put on a more commanding tone. "Distribute the weapons and armor, and get everyone fed and clothed; the revival of Sol'nube's rebellion is just getting started!"

A loud roar is heard not far from Sol'nube. The roar of a Tao.. The deadly beast had soared through the air with a grace, something not natural to its kind to fly alone. Kept close to it on her stomach was a figure. The figure was slightly familiar... Naiyao had made her first appearance in a great deal of time. She sat up on the beast and looked out in the distance, from this distance she could now see the city without a problem. Her mind was already working out every possible outcome for her first strike.
Scenario one... I go in with a powerful strike that breaks through the walls of the city, pulling all attention to me immediately.. they'll send their men and I'll kill them all... once this is complete, I'll make a rush for the throne room to encounter the Usurper of Sol'nube in which combat will be engaged and it will be left to chance..
Scenario two... I send in the Tao for a swift distraction as I drop to the ground, rush it on foot and keep a low profile... sneak past all targets and make my way for the armory... after re-arming myself, I'll destroy their weapons and armor then make way for the rest of their supplies... Sol'nube will be defenseless afterward...
[Scenario three... I play the fool...[/i]

Withered decisions move through the young warriors mind as she begins her descent. As the beast nears the front gates and the walls of Sol'nube, her body begins to shudder. The beast lets out one final roar as it floats barely off the ground then lands with a staggering shake. The collision of its feet to the ground cause the entire fortress to become wakened at her presence. Guard's from the front of the gate, those not part of the hidden rebellion, swiftly make their way to her to confront the woman. Though to their surprise.. she does nothing. She keeps her eyes to the ground and her hair over them. She seems to fall off of the beast, stumbling across the ground and nearly falling onto it. Naiyao moves her hands back to the beast and speaks to it softly with her mind. The words echo... 'stay' within it. She then nods and turns to the Guards who seem to confront her. The first approaches.

"You approach the City of Sol'nube" commands their Elite Guard. "This city is under the control of Davis and Lord Von Karma! None are permitted to ent--" The male guard is cut off as Naiyao stumbles forward and places her right palm to the man's chest. She looks up with her face looking slightly red.
"I need a drink... Please.. I have not had anything in weeks.. I fear I will die... Please help me.." Naiyao played her part well, she looked up at the man with a look of direness, as if a child near death. The man would take pity and nodded.
"I suppose.. I can give a last request... to a child.." The guard strikes his chest with his gauntlet and immediately a portion of the Guard's turn and move to another direction to take care of the request of the female. While they do this, Naiyao seems to stumble back and fan herself off while leaning back against the Tao. Before she can get comfortable, the men return. They bring a canteen full of water. Naiyao falls to her knees and places her hands together as if to praise the men, she smiles happily like a small child and takes the canteen, standing up once more.

With her eyes closed, Naiyao tilted her head back and began to take a sip. She kept her eyes closed as the water spread around her face as she had poured it, as if she had meant to pour it all over her face. There was still a deal left.. but she did not move as she let her body rest for that few seconds. She then opened her mouth only slightly.. few words were heard by the guards. "... Too bad.. it's warm..." Naiyao moved her hand up and seemed to throw the canteen into the air-- the water spread through the emptiness and had fallen toward the Guards, seeming to cover everything around her in the warm water. In that small instant, her hands came together. "Roar mighty beast--!" From her body burned a golden stream of lightening, as her hands were thrust down. She was calling out to the power of the lightening orb again and her body had manipulated its energy and sent it around her. The lightening had moved through the air and surrounded her and the guards, sending a large volt of electricity through each of them, being amplified to an even more devastating amount due to the water. The men had fallen with burned skin.. dead. "Should have brought me cold water... like from your hearts.."

Naiyao turned and threw her arm out, as if pushing through a door. She walked forward toward the gates, remaining within a low profile. She knew that she either had to sneak past all her targets... or kill all that saw her. She was more then willing to do either, so she would do both. Her goal was simple.. make her way for the leadership and crush its head, then free the land. It was disappointing to see that the rebellion had not destroyed Davis and his plans. She had hopes that she would still find someone alive, but she did not expect anything. If she were to meet them... it would have to wait until after she dealt with the one in charge.

It hadn't been long, but the operation was already underway, and going well. Rebels were at work clearing the basement portions of the city of the monstrous creatures Von Karma commanded. It was slow going, owing mostly to the strength of each monster and the need for caution around them. Any number of Deru's creatures could kill a human in a single strike, and the rebellion was dangerously small. Fortunately, most of the rebels were experienced soldiers, many of them memebers of the city guard that escaped destruction. Still others were the militia formed to protect the city from roving monsters. It'd take time, but there was no doubt in Victor's mind they could completely clear it.

As Victor watched over the progress, something else caught his attention. Ever since joing the rebellion at Sol'Nube, Victor had been practicing his abilities, refining his use of them. The Thousand Eyes Victor used to see were now being deployed as sentries throughout the city, and each one was cloaked and invisible. It was quite difficult, if not impossible, for something to happen in Sol'Nube without Victor knowing about it almost immediately. Troop movements, patrols, any move Von Karma's people made in the open was not beyond Victor's sight. Unfortunately, the energy demands for this required Victor to refresh himself every few hours; such was the price of knowledge. As it happened, one of the Eyes caught a glimpse of Naiyao's assault.

"I thought you were dead," Victor choked, whispering to himself. He saw her taken away and was powerless to stop it. When Naiyao disappeared on Speculum's Tao Victor knew he'd failed once again. But now, she was back. The real fight could start again.

"What was that, Captain?" Simon asked, after barking a few orders at some nearby rebels. "You see something?"

"Yeah," Victor replied, tilting his head up as if to look into space. "We may have just been handed the opportunity of a lifetime." At that moment, a man dressed in Von Karma uniform appeared. He slammed his hand into a quick salute before continuing. "Captain Maxim, there's been an attack at the front gates. An unidentified Orb user on a Tao destroyed a guard station and entered the city, and looks to be headed for the throne room. Von Karma's soldiers have raised an alarm and are calling for reinforcements. Our infiltrators, including Commander Ja'kal, are responding."

Victor nodded, wondering why the rebels still bothered to tell him things when they knew about the Eyes. It was probably out of habit, or for formality's sake, than anything else. "Tell Commander Ja'kal that she's an ally, but he should stay out of her way," Victor responded. "And that it's my recommendation we begin our own move now." With that, Victor turned away from the man, and raised his voice. "Alright men, the chance we've been waiting for is here. A powerful Orb user has just entered the city, and she's going to tear apart usurpers. Priority one right now is to make sure she gets there. Take out the barracks, raid the armories, destroy every target we can; just keep yourselves and Von Karma's men out of her way until she reaches the fortress. Once she does, regroup and go after the throne. We're taking back Sol'Nube today!" There was a chorus of cheers before Simon start barking out specific orders, and Victor turned back to the messenger. "You got that?" he asked. "Tell Ja'kal I suggest he get Von Karma's soldiers to fight amongst themselves if he can. As long as they know they've got rebel spies in their ranks, paranoia will do a lot of our work for us."

The messenger nodded and ran off, and Victor directed an Eye to look over the rebel troops scrambling to position. He heaved a large sigh, and relaxed himself, drawing up as much power as he could. Now that Naiyao was in the city, this was the best chance the rebellion would have. Victor prepared himself and turned to Simon. "It's time I got moving myself," he said. "I'm going to meet the Orb user." Victor started off, murmuring to himself. "I thought I'd failed again, but it looks like I still have a chance. Naiyao, I'm coming for you."

Naiyao brought her left hand up to her forehead and swung it out, brushing her hair from before her eyes to get a clear view as it would also bring a small breeze to cool her off. The city would be on high alert already. Without a moment, though without rush, Naiyao began to walk forward at a steady pace to the gate. She had hatred in her eyes... who knows what might have happened while she was gone. How many innocent people would have been slaughtered. Naiyao did not consider the chance of her loss-- she was determined now more then ever and knew there was absolutely no other option then success.
With this thought in mind, Naiyao reached the front gate. Though she still only walked. "Close the Gates!" shouted one of the guards who sat above the Gate. They began to quickly arm themselves with rifles for the use of taking her out from a distance. While they armed themselves, those inside of the gate pulled the levers and ropes required as the gate would begin to close. Just as quickly as they closed it, they began to barricade it. No thoughts of failure were in her mind... Naiyao stepped forward and placed her hands together.
"The God's of Lightening seek Redemption... There is none to be found here." with these words Naiyao's hands shot out with the palms against the gate's front. Her body sparked once and like a fuse to dynamite, the static energy from the Lightening orb ran through her body and ignited against the door. Quickly, and strongly, the blast had spread. The gate was completely ripped from its support that lowered it and the barricade that was created to reinforce it did not matter. The gate was sent across the path and had crushed the few behind it completely. Their blood was now also on her hands.. "You are in my way..." Naiyao slowly raised her right hand, then extended her index finger to point into the eyes of one of the invaders of Sol'nube. The man's eyes went blank yet wide, his body was shaking with fear. There was no magic here. It was pure fear of the beast that had been awaken inside of her. The man fell to his knees. It was not a blade that claimed his life, but instead, the fear of the one wielding it. Naiyao continued to step forward, but before she even quite entered through the newly made opening, soldiers rushed her. One with a broadsword swung down the heavy armed weapon to strike her, but Naiyao was too fast. Her left hand now rose quickly and caught it between her thumb and other four fingers, holding it before her palm. She did not flinch, but the soldier's body grew weak and shook. How can one girl be this strong?! they thought. Naiyao brought her hand back and flipped the wielder of the blade over her, forcing him to release it as he landed against the ground. She then turned the blade and like a spear, threw it forward as it pierced the head of another who stood in her way, splitting his head in two though it was still attached to the body at the neck.
"We're being attacked, inform Lord Davis!" called out an enemy soldier who stood at the wall. It was like the assault by Davis made many weeks before... Bullets flew from above toward the rebellious female, but she only smiled as she then began to pick up her movements. As a bullet would come within reach, she would lightly rotate her body, as if spinning around them, her steps move side to side, back and forth, evading each one skillfully. Warriors charged her and with their weapons, they struck at her. Her hands moved as skillfully as her feet, catching each weapon and redirecting it, cutting down another target. Soon, seconds turned to minutes. Minutes extended. Hundreds upon hundreds of Von Karma's lackeys had charged at her and Naiyao was created a pile of blood and flesh around her. She would mix it up at intervals. As a man with twin daggers ran at her, she caught both and turned them, stabbing him several times, then kicking him back on the ground just to turn and hurl both blades toward the high point of the wall to rid herself of two gunners. The battle had lasted a while, and Naiyao.. seemed no less for wear.
"This is what brought down Sol'nube..?" Naiyao's eyes were glimmering, with disappointment. She spat and as another twin blade user ran at her, she brought her foot up and thrusted it, breaking the man's knees and catching the blades as his hands would release them. "Time to get to work.." She turned and with amazing style and grace, she began to cut through them at an amazing pace, stepping past them and swinging both blades past the men and women of Von Karma to sever their bodies and kill them. She then turned and rushed quickly at the wall, running then along it as she gained height, and as she reached the top, she flipped her body upward and landed on the top of it. She turned herself and made one sweep, rushing through the groups of gunners and cutting down each individually to pay her own specific amount of respect to each. As she cut down each gunner, all within one swift chain, she flipped back through the air at great height and landed in the direct center of the section, pulling her arms together as the blades would cross.. with a half-second of anticipation, her arms were thrust out and a great lightening energy exploded from her body. The energy engulfed all within the vicinity, ensuring she did not miss one... The battle outside of the castle had ended, and she stood there few a few seconds.. Blood then began to rain down from above.. the blood of all the men who she had just killed. A single thought now ran through her mind.. "Davis, you're next."

Madison got bored of this quickly and used her orb to stop time then summoned flames to her hands then rolled it into a large orb of fire held in between both hands. She tapped into the time orb once again and sped up the fires molecules then sends the orb to the men of the ground. The molecules of the fire are sped so fast it causes an explosion incinerating the men and creatures in a blink of an eye leaving only ash behind. Time is restored and Madison falls to her knees having over done herself a bit and would need to rest to regain her strength.

The little girl got up from out of the throne acting very adorable to throw him off. "why yes I do and I'll tell the person you are looking for is." Stopping the sentence short and in an instant she appeared in front of with her staff out slashing at him horizontally. Regelion quickly dodged by doing a backwards handstand kicking her back from him. " so that must mean your the usurper the names Regelion Mura I tell you this cause I've come to take you out and it's right to know the name of the person who will kill you" " If that's the case my name is Sumka the adorable death viper I will kill you and show you never to raise your neck to a viper you lonely peasant."

Xepher sat atop a small cliff looking down at Victor he was out of view of his eyes but wanted him to see him. From the cliff he could also see Naiyao that witch was different then he had last seen her licking his lips. He then jumped down from the cliff to a point where he was in view and ear shot of Victor. "Hey Victor so shall we end this and help her out like we came here to do me you and her." Xepher was quickly surrounded by a large group of rebels who pointed their weapons at him he could take them out easy while basking in their blood but he wanted to keep his cover till the time was right. Xepher hooked the sleeves to his straight jacket up crossing his arms one reason was to not be tempted to kill the the other was so he had his arms in a relaxing position. He could easily unhook himself if needed but he kept himself this way for now.

"Davis, you're next."

A figure stepped out from the shadows giving an applause to the blood coved angel, her blood lust rivaled any of Lord Von Karma's Generals, it was certainly a sight to behold. Davis smirks "The whole scene of you busting in the city and wiping ass and coving it's streets with blood reminds me of me, I feel so honored to be imitated and by the one my dear friend Speculum is pining over. Guess you killed that fool if your here or maybe he abandoned Von Karma's forces." Davis Shrugs with his scythe on his back, the weapon that destroyed a whole city by its self, his tattered black robes hang off him and his hair was a mess as always. "It doesn't really matter, Sol'Nube is in ruins and its people are all but gone." Suddenly one of the soldiers that Naiyao had cut down used the last of his life to raise a sword and try to kill Davis but the teen simply spun out of range while taking his scythe from his back and spun in reverse to stand where he was then impaled the man finishing him off. "You missed one," Davis said with a smirk. "These Sol'Nubs soldiers are so honorable. After killing the Generals they threw themselves at my feet begging to spare the lives of the citizens and in return they would pledge their complete loyalty to Von Karma. Most of the troops that came with me were redeployed at other cities and villages and are taking them in the name of Von Karma. But enough of all that boring talk, you called me out, said I was next, well here I am. Do your worst." Davis smiled and looked forward to the great battle that was yet to come.

Naiyao did not speak.. she did not say a word. Her feet began to take one step at a time until she was standing with herself slightly slumped, her left hand to her right arm. Using a bit of her lightening energy from the orb, she burned along her flesh a heat so great that her blood sizzled out. She drew into her arm a symbol slowly. As she did so.. her eyes shook with anger because of Davis' words. He had killed so many.. now he flaunts it. Davis would kill innocents without a single reason other then lust. She could not take it anymore... With one hand, her right, Naiyao thrust her hand forward as instantaneously, Davis left arm shot up into the air as if held by chains. Static clenches his body tightly so strong from her weeks of charging it that it becomes irresistible even to those of the same element. She then thrusts her left hand forward, and Davis' right arm is jerked up. He now stands like a man in chains as Naiyao glares angrily with a glare at his body. However, instead of using this power to destroy him in one foul swoop.. Naiyao quickly jerks her arms back and the static pulls, ripping Davis' own arms from his body in a blood shattering pain. Blood would shoot out from both sides of him where his arms did once exist, now covering the ground beneath him. She waits... only so that she may see the Usurpers reaction to having been dismembered at the arms.

Regelion readied himself he didn't want to kill a little girl but he knew he had to defeat her. Regelion charged at her with his sword out but didn't use his orbs so that he could figure out her abilities and strengths. Regelion got close to Sumka and slashed horizontally Sumka quickly blocked his attack but Regelion pushed one side of his sword spinning around her staff. The sword slightly cut the side of Sumkas cheek as he then caught the sword with his other hand. He then moved back from Sumka giving them room to attack and allowing him to do his next attack. But Sumka attacked first pointing her staff towards him firing black flame towards him. Regelion quickly ran from the black flames running as fast as he could but to no avail. Sumka changed the direction of the black flame funneling the attack around him . Regelion jumped into the air bringing his head back dodging the flames but barley. The flames caught part of his pants burning them a little but Regelion moved quickly and used his water orb sending a funnel of water out his sword countering Sumkas attack. As Regelion landed the water that stayed after the attack rained down on him wetting his cloths and putting out any small flames that was on his cloths from Sumka's attack. Regelion was just getting started but he had hoped his lover was healing up good. Hopefully she could come in time to see atleast the ending to his battle he felt so confident when she watched his fights. Then Regelion smiled Sumka had spoke. "How dare you smile at what's going to be your death that was only a small sample of my abilities that surpass yours" "Ha you'll never understand why I smile and I'm not the one who's going to be defeated by a heartless monster who kills if they can't get their way I'm someone who holds the one thing that keeps me standing something you'll never have on Von Karma's side"

Davis smiled finding Naiyao's bloodlust attactive she was like a beautiful crimson angel. Even as he was bound by Naiyao's magic and as it burned his his wrist he couldn't help but fall in love but now was not the time for that. As the girl started to tug at the binds Davis tapped to the space orb and traded spaces with a guard just before his arms were ripped off. The man started to scream as blood started to fill the ground, soon the man lost consciousness and would soon be dead. Davis teleported away from Naiyoa, he knew she was too fast for him to keep up in close combat so long range was the only option. The scythe wielder created eight black orbs and they all started to close in on the woman then began to fire at random. Davis pointed his scythe toward the girl, darkness begins to gather at the tip of his weapon. The orbs job were to distrat Naiyao well Davis charged up a large attack, the boys mind was starting to clear and he was most dangous when he wasn't controlled by the lust for blood.

Xepher sat atop a small cliff looking down at Victor he was out of view of his eyes but wanted him to see him. From the cliff he could also see Naiyao that witch was different then he had last seen her licking his lips. He then jumped down from the cliff to a point where he was in view and ear shot of Victor. "Hey Victor so shall we end this and help her out like we came here to do me you and her." Xepher was quickly surrounded by a large group of rebels who pointed their weapons at him he could take them out easy while basking in their blood but he wanted to keep his cover till the time was right. Xepher hooked the sleeves to his straight jacket up crossing his arms one reason was to not be tempted to kill the the other was so he had his arms in a relaxing position. He could easily unhook himself if needed but he kept himself this way for now.

"Xepher!" Vivtor cried is surprise. "It's good to see you again!" At that point Victor seemed to notice the rebels, and held up a hand. "Stand down, guys. He's a friend." Victor turned to Xepher and motioned for him to follow, then took off towards the throne room. "Yeah," he said, we're going to take back this city with Naiyao. With all of us it should be easy."

After a few moments, the castle doors loomed before him, and the bodies of gaurds littered the area. However, some that hadn't been there at Naiyao's attack had gathered, and now caught sight of Victor as he dashed towards them. Victor raised a hand, and a bolt of force lashed out, bowling them over and throwing them into walls. Victor ran past them, through the doors, and soon found himself in the throne room in short order, where his Eyes showed him Naiyao and Davis.

"So you're in charge here?" Victor demanded. "Give back the city!" As he spoke, Victor took note of the situation. Eight orbs were circling Naiyao, and Victor knew they weren't friendly. And floating orbs were his thing, darn it! With a wave of his hand, Victor called his own orbs into existence, eight more Eyes to combat those of Davis. Each moved to intercept a beam, while Victor threw a bolt of force in Davis' direction. "We're taking you down!" Victor screamed.

Naiyao cocked her head slightly to the left and turned it, spitting once onto the ground beneath her. At first, she seemed relaxed.. her eyes slowly reopened and turned to catch wind of the attack. She was not bothered.. she was tired of holding back what she was. Naiyao's right foot turned just to the slightest, moving her heel into the air behind her. With that.. a flash of light followed and her body seemed to flicker into disappearance-- she was completely gone from Davis' sight. A trail of smoke was seen from the point that she slid, with her foot stopping her next to the body of a dead guard. Her right hand quickly reached out and grasped the hilt of a sword that was lodged into his ribcage. She smirked once... a smirk ensuring her blood lust.. with this, she ripped the blade from the man and sent blood from the point of exposure. Her eyes shuddered with desire-- desire for death..
Her body once again flickered as she seemed to slide her right foot forward, and once more, she was gone. But she did not remain this way-- as a flicker of an image appeared, this time next to Davis. She was at an angle as to not intercept the attack thrown by Victor, yet close enough to strike.. she turned her arms slightly so the blade's tip touched the ground, then with a swift stroke-- she swung it back up at a diagonal angle. With such speed-- the strength of the blow was enhanced great enough that if it should hit clear, it would leave a fatal cut across Davis' chest.
Naiyao's stance was stable, she had both feet slightly apart, but with her left leg slightly bent, her eyes watched Davis carefully to ensure the fatality. Her heart beat-- she was in striking and counter range of Davis-- if he were to strike, he could likely strike her fatally as well. Though she was aware of this.

Regelion rushed Sumka with his katana held out ready to cut her a new one he felt like he was ready for anything. But Regelion was wrong as he approached her she gave off a smerk. Right as she did that a small dark hole appeared infront of him. Regelion had to act fast reaching for his Kama (mini sythe) he stuck it int the floor behind him keeping him from flying into it. He then pulled himself away from the dark hole then stabbed his sword into the ground he thought it would last for ever till he lifted up his Kama to use it to move further away from the dark hole. As he lifted up his Kama it pulled a rock out of the ground and it flew into the dark hole. As soon as the rock flew into the dark hole it closed immediately Regelion instantly realized this standing up on his two feet his weapons drawn. _Regelion continued to rush Sumka and as expected she opened another dark hole he acted quick scrapping his Kama into the ground picking up rocks and dirt. The rocks and dirt flew into the dark hole causing it to instantly close. He continued to rush her and she continued to open dark holes using the same move to close them. Till Sumka was fed up opening another dark hole but this time she opened several that circled around Regelion. Each dark hole pulled at him from all sides ready to rip him apart the force from each dark hole was so tremendous it lifted him off the ground. The strength of the dark holes kept him from using his weapons to scrap the ground meaning he was forced to use his orbs. Sumka held an evil smirk as she watched him suffer her eyes looked like that of a demon. Regelion had to act fast before he was ripped apart he used the power of his water orb it's light glowed as he formed a giant water ball over his head. The water ball exploded spreading it's self out getting sucked into each dark hole closing them, Regelion fell to the floor breathing heavily ready to continue fighting. Regelion stood up with his sword and Kama drawn, he took both of his weapons doing a cross slash powered by his water orb sending two slashes of water at Sumka. She lifted up her staff to block the attack she was able to block it but part of the attack whizzed past her cheeks cutting each cheek drawing blood. Sumka was in shock that her beautiful face was cut this angered her even more her eyes red she was serious. "How dare you damage my beautiful face it was perfect for 21 years and you messed with it you must die I've only been going easy on till now this is where you die." Then it hit him he thought she was a little kid but in truth she just looked young he assumed from her looks and it could have cost him. As soon as he figured this out the ground began to shake and crack Sumka was doing something but the question was what. Sumkas power grew stronger till it reached her peak and snapped then the ground erupted with towers of flame. The area the where in was no match for her attack the tree throne room began to set a blaze. The attack was tremendous shooting up tower after tower of flames the towers started erupting closer to Regelion. _

In a grand Cathedral sat a man of pious feature. He sat covered in a Holy Cloak which wrapped comfortably over his shoulders. The man had very thick black hair which was very messy; possibly from lack of sanity due to the outbreak of war. The man slowly looked up.. facial hair revealed a goatee that hung from his face. The man... Rago.

"Boy!" Shouted Rago in an authoritative voice. "Fetch me my box.. Now!" He gave the command firmly and the messenger boy ran in fear to the room far right of the corridor. "Ah.. Time continues to unfold my plan.." Rago smiled menacingly as he brought his right hand up to view his palm. In his palm, formed an orb.. the orb revealed a vision. Before him, he saw the fight occurring at Sol'nube. The two orb users had encountered Davis.

"How foolish he was.." Rago remarks softly. "Oh how I tried to warn him of his impending doom.. but he would not listen.." Rago smirks once more and tightens his hand. The vision shatters. Soon, the boy returns with a box of golden trim surrounding. "Yes... Soon it will be upon us.. And he hasn't the slightest.."
