Welcome to Gaia! ::

Will growled in anger, his frustration mounting. Bit by bit, his control slipped. Everything he did to this son of a b***h wasn't doing a damned bit of good. The bloody vamp was even turning his own attacks against himself! And now he was implying that he was a piss poor hunter? That was it! "Alright Kyrre, I tried to do this the easy way. But you just won't quit, huh? Fine, have it your way. I'll show you the same glimpse of the afterlife that I got, the glimpse that left me with these powers that even I fear."

Screaming to the heavens, Will let the Power start to run loose. Even though the fire wasn't touching him yet burns formed all over his skin, the release of his power eating away at his very flesh even as it healed the wounds that it itself inflicted upon him. Bloody tears began leaking down his cheeks as the capillaries surrounding his blazing eyes burst, and blood dribbled out of his right nostril. Will's body was in the first stages of tearing itself apart from it's own energy. A bright flash that banished all the shadows on the docks and briefly lit the night so that it was as bright as day rushed out of him, accompanied by gusts of wind that smothered the fires. For that moment Will was at the center of a light as burning as the sun, and Kyrre stood exposed as it tore away at the shadows.

Then the light faded to reveal a greatly changed William Jackson. His eyes, locked right onto Kyrre, had energy literally leaking out of them as they blazed and crackled with a holy fire. His clothes were in tatters from the release of power, the only thing he wore that wasn't even touched was the silver cross that swung to and fro around his neck. The energy that once tightly hugged his body now surrounded it in a solid form of light, a form closely resembling an armored angel. Hellbringer had been discraded and replaced by a sword of pure energy held in his right hand. Just the outpouring of force kept him levitated above the ground by more than half of a foot. And when he spoke, the power fortified even his voice and made it otherworldly. "FEEL HONORED, KYRRE. I'VE NEVER HAD TO CONCIOUSLY PUSH MYSELF BEYOND SEVENTY PERCENT BEFORE, AND NOW I'M WELL INTO THE TAIL END OF THE EIGHTIES. NOW, WE CAN TRULY DO BATTLE, LEECH."

Then the being that was only in part William Jackson surged forward, blazing straight towards his foe like a comet as the concrete rippled and cracked in his wake.

Rikku hit the combat knife with the katana she held, then moved her free hand, blocking the foot from connecting with the katana. As the fires spread, she wondered if Kyrre could really keep any control over the void...and now a light so bright...which would have been a bit more daunting without the diamond, was still bright...

Rikku turned to Kerrigan, "That part of William would kill you for merely being what you are, no matter what side you're on..."

Tokeru remained in front of Alexz while Kuro fought her, and did not move. When he disappeared in the shadows, he gave her a moment to register that he was still there, then attacked. It was hard to concentrate on both offense and defense at once, so he stood still and threw four knives in quick succession towards Alexz's heart, maintaining a barrier around himself that would partially absorb blows, but neither stop nor slow them.

'I fear nothing of the sort, you crazy b***h.' Sethe said, his smile widening. 'If you really want, I can let Esou out, and he'll have his fun. However, right now I'm having fun with what I can do.' He summoned forth a ball of pure force, and pulled his arms back, making it larger; the ball shone a deep violet, and grew in resonance as it did in size. He then thrust his arms out in the direction of Rogue, hurling the sphere of force at the light pole Rogue was standing on. This sphere would rip through the light pole, splintering it's base, forcing Rogue to come down.

Krii'Ouse drew out Saigo Ichiban, his double ended voulge, his prized weapon. The mark of the Omega. Allowing the polearm to extend to it's full form, and he charged as Rogue would be hitting the ground, bringing Alpha to attack first. He'd follow through, spinning the blade around, and slashing with Omega, the opposite end of the weapon, next.

'Unlike you, I have no beast within me. Within me awaits a noble and powerful creature, brave and strong. His power strengthens me, and my power strengthens him. Together, we are a formidable force to be reckoned with. You would be wise to fear us.' Sethe said, his voice reverberating heavily as two separate voices spoke subtly with his, in unison. The voices spoke in two different languages, and not languages of this world. The Tainted elders might have understood them, and recognised the voices for what, and maybe even who, they were.

Tokeru's eyes opened, what speed she had, but he did not flinch. He tried to dodge, but could not move fast enough. He took two bullets right in his back, stopped only from penetrating by his barrier and body armor.

Breathing raggedly, he pushed himself back up. I may not stand a chance against her in close combat, but no one defeats me.

Concentrating, he began to bend the light around him, faster than before. In the blink of an eye, Tokeru was invisible, and it seemed as if he was just a few feet to the left or right, never where he was. His heat and smell were just a few paces off, enough to protect from bullets.

Concentrating once more, he threw another knife, making it speed up and shoot out with almost the force of a bullet.

A bead of sweat dripped down his cheek. This was the first time he had ever tried to do things like this for this long, and if he did not get help, he would be in trouble.

Krii'Ouse was beginning to tire of her taunting, and decided to play her little game with her. Focusing on the static electricity surrounding him, and the electricity flowing through the light pole, he built a bond between his own charge, and the charge of the lamp. Sethe held his hand out, and formed the link, seeming to wield a lasso of electricity. He pulled himself up to the lamp, and swung himself onto the pole Rogue was on. He still brandished Saigo Ichiban, and balanced himself on the pole with the double-ended spear.

'You wanna play like this, I've got no problem with it.' He began swinging Saigo Ichiban around himself, twirling it as if he were dancing. He then took a step forward, and swung at Rogue, inching towards the end of the lamp, hoping to push her off by his advances. 'C'mon, b***h! Let's fight like real warriors! Stop playing this stupid game!'

'You seem to wanna play keep away, you old b***h; or are you just afraid to face me in hand-to-hand combat, cus you know I'll beat the s**t out of you?' Krii'Ouse smelled the silver, and his eyes widened. He quickly spun Alpha and omega in a very fast weave pattern, and knocked several of them away. At the same time, this pattern gave him the concentration he needed to built up an electric shield.

As the stars shattered, sending silver spines flying through the area, some of them were deflected from the weave pattern, as many more were caught in the shield. Three spines made it through both defenses, and pierced his skin, lodging into the skin of his deltoid through the openings in Krii'Ouse's armour.

Krii'Ouse was getting angry now. He lunged down to the ground, his duster whipping in the wind as it coursed under his coat, and landed in a crouched position, his polearm behind his back. He pressed the switch to shrink the weapon, and put it in the holster on the back of his belt. He then threw his duster off, tossing it to the side, and removed his helmet, revealing his pure white hair. He placed his helmet on the coat, and took a moment to remove the silver splinters in his skin, seeming to give a yelp of pain as he removed them.

'C'mon, Leech. You've had six hundred years of experience to my seven. Let's see who's life experiences has taught them more.' He stretched his arms down, flexing his muscles under his armour, and growled. clenching his hands into tightly formed fists, he started to bounce in a kickboxing stance. He stretched his left arm out, and signaled for her to come at him. 'Let's go! Mortal Kombat style, ********!'
