"OSHI--" All thoughts of jumping in to stab it up were forgotten as fires and explosions started coming out of Viceroy's body. Shouyin caught the marble as he stumbled and turned around, kicking it highspeed. He'd basically fall beside the Impala, scrambling inside and yelling for other people to get in.
If all else failed he'd just make like, a stone shield 'round him and his baby.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Pushing the remains of the tree off his body, Vahn gripped the body of the trunk with both hands and heaved it up into the air.
DAMMIT!
Holding it high, as if it were some kind of giant baseball bat, something impacted against it, literally shattering the upper portion like so much driftwood.
"!?"
Something went rolling off the tree, and Vahn dropped it, staggering backwards in the process.
It was a sphere of some sorts (one of three random), and it was literally imbedded into the ground, narrowly avoinding impacting into the hood of the impala.
He could see Shouyin laying there, yelling all crazy like and stuff.
"The fu---"
Then the bright flash from all the heat poured outwards.
"OSHI---"

For a second there, he was relieved. The orb fell into his hand.
Just as the rock came and crashed into him from his left side. His eyes shut and he went flying, carried by the momentum that the rock had slammed into him with.
There was no last minute aerial maneuver this time. Athan's sword fell from his grip as he clutched the orb-turned-rose to his chest...and crashed through a nearby window.
He flopped through the building, rolling like a rag doll through overturned chairs and tables, ending with his back pressed firmly against a nearby bar counter.
He should have been thankful, the rock put him out of harm's way concerning the thermite. Except all he could feel was a sudden burning pain in his left shoulder. The bones there were probably crushed beyond recognition.
Running on nothing but fumes, Athan managed to pull himself to a standing position. The rose was held firmly to his chest, and he was limping towards the window he had flown through earlier. There was no time to rest. Whether or not the bad guy was down didn't matter. The entire square was still on fire and a wooden building wasn't the safest place to pass out in.
He bent down, grasped his sword tentatively with his left hand, and began dragging it behind him as he made his not-so-hasty retreat. He no longer seemed to register the presence of others. It was almost as if he was in a trance as he walked away from the intense heat.

And a halt to a stop, as a marble came his way. The free left caught it before it beamed him in the head, but the there was still the fire... or not.
"..." Energy had to go somewhere, so he'd be burning it off rapidly as he looked at his shiny, likely hot, jewel. That rapid massive burn kept him from sweating like a pig from all the damn heat in the area.
"We're leaving. THAT b***h--" Point to Alex. "--isn't getting near me."

NO MORE RANDOM MARBLES LEFT! MISSED YOUR CHANCE, SUCKERS!
I'll post Myst's escape later. *flees*

Were it not for the jacket, Alex might actually be dead, having been so close to Viceroy. Thankfully, she had been intelligent and aware enough to pull the jacket over herself to avoid the flames.
However, Alex now had another problem. What had the poor girl unknowingly opened herself up to? She could feel the chaos energies bombarding her. On noes! What effect would this have on her? Who knows? The Mod Gods do... so we'll let them decide.

Well, he almost made it out of the fountain area. His eyes drifted shut as he took one last step. Perseverance gave way to fatigue. He began to fall to the ground.
No!
Eyes shot open and he regained his balance, stumbling slightly.
Not now...Rest when you're dead.
His jaw set, Athan trudged forward in a makeshift run. It probably would have been more prudent to just walk really fast, given the rate he was going, but he wasn't going to stop.
Self-preservation had a strange way of making people do things.
He flopped against Shouyin's car and looked with a half-lidded gaze at the newfound ally. Or in this case, savior.
"Hitch a ride?"
He managed a half-hearted smile.

He sulked off to Shou's car, reached in the back seat for his mithril, and slumped in the front.
"Shotgun." He didn't look to happy, but having crap thrown at you while you try to help does that.

The orbs would transform when they were touched. Locamotive greaves Shou would find himself with some new footwear. When concentrating, he would beable to run even faster than he just did while facing vicetroy. Stopping on the otherhand would be very dificult. When that locomotive bust ended it would be like walking on oiled frozen sheet metal. Calm Band Perhaps in complete contrast to his personality, Vahn now had a strange band around his upper arm. For a very taxing amount of energy he would be able to stretch one second out into a ten second peroid to the point it seems like ten seconds. Of course, you wouldn't be able to do anything that would take more than a second. It would be just like having a breather to make plans. Rage Orb When Myst grabbed the orb it would expand to the size of a baseball. The orb had a unique ability, when it came to magical effects it would be like putting gasoline to a fire. Essentaly, as long as she held it spells cast on her would be slighty more powerful. Both healing, protective and even spells meant to damage her. Chaotic Blade A shortsword would materilize, with sheath, somewhere on Athan's body. A short sword, not much use really compared to his other sword... Or is it? He would find that the more damage he took, the larger it would become. Capped at slightly larger than the buster sword. Strangely enough, it would still seem rather light. Chaos stream The continued exposure to the Chaos would grant Alexiel a very simmalr ability to the spirit of viceroy. Chaos stream sped things up with the power of chaos. Using it could charge an attack faster, or string multiple weak versions.

With the massive chain of explosions let out, and the fact that heat was spiking rapidly in the surrounding area, Vahn had done his best to do that voodoo he did so ********! ********! ********! FUUUUUCK!!
His right arm was raised out in front of him, having just been momentarily shielding his eyes from the flash. The bracelet on his right wrist had long since 'awoken', forming up a good length of his right forearm and hand into a black organic gauntlet, red runic lines tracing all over it's surface (much like the greaves and Fang).
AAAAAUUUGHHHH!!!
The red orb upon its center was glowing as fiercely as it ever had, attracted by all the flames and actually creating an immense vortex around itself; sucking in all the available heat and fire (magical or not).
The ground around Vahn was cratering slightly, even as his body was sweating. His left hand clamped tightly about his right shoulder as he did his best to remain in place, standing right in front of the impala looking mad heroic and s**t.
He coudln't do anything about the already ruined landscape and exploding stuff, but apparently his gauntlet was hungry.

Shou revved the engine, knuckles white as he gripped the wheel. Laz succeeded in moping his way into the car, all fire and explosions aside, and now there was a guy on top of his hood. The half-golem couldn't tell what Vahn was doing, but it seemed to keep them from all blowing up, which was good enough explanation for him.
"Yeah yeah just get -in-!" He couldn't spot Myst in the chaos, and time was seriously running short. The ninjaman wasn't the only one yelling curses in his skull now. Tires screeching, he let go of the e-brake, and spun the car around, facing very much away from the fire and death.
"MYST! VAHN! WHOEVER! S'TIME TO GO, YO!"

"Who.... are you... kidding?!"
He yelled out even as he closed his left eye, resting his head against his left arm, his greaves burning footholds into the ground underneath him, locking him in place lest he get dragged away by the immense whirlwind forces at play currently.
"GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!"
He wasn't sure how much longer he could keep this up, let alone if he'd be able to eat everything. Flames licked out past his sides, black thermite scorching up the ground badly, before bursting upwards into fizzling sparks of death.
The mantle he wore began dissolving away, the scales breaking under the power of science.
Alex.... Alex... is still out there dammit!

Myst came by right in Shouying's face. She only stopped long enough to open the car's door, pick her clothes, then close the door behind her.
"Thanks for the ride, by the way!" Bunch of fireflies surrouding her fist flew toward the antenna to Shouyin's car radio. They spun and spun around it's base before all hammering it at once. The antenna went flying, ad Myst caught it with her right hand. "I'm gonna need this, sorry. Take care!"
And she was off, running wildly between the trees from the thermite, holding the antenna between her teeth and taking off the glove on her right hand.

Athan managed to plunk his sword down into the car without ruining any of the interior, and then flopped into the back seat. He seated himself upright when the sheathed sword materialized at his waist. It took a little rearranging, but he was finally able to sit comfortably.
Introductions would have to be taken care of later. The main focus now was getting the hell out of there.

Positive/Negative The wolfman would find him the pruod owner of two wristbands that looked like they were made of some strange rock type thing. One, the lighter of the two, would restrain all his physical abilities (thing tieing a weight to all your body parts) to allow his spirit powers to excel. The other would temporarly make him faster, stronger and more aware, but at the cost of being unable to do any attacks that are more than straightforward hand to hand combat.
