"...Very well." Elistral re-sheathed her sword, at that time not bothering with wiping the dragon blood off, and followed closely after Demios. Despite the need for urgency, she was concerned for him. Flying with an injury was dangerous, especially for him, and it might just make it worse.
Rore was going around and notifying any Protectors he saw, telling them to keep fighting, when he noticed someone familiar. "Hey!"
Crow turned his head and saw someone coming towards him. "Oh crap."
"What's...going on?" Gorash said shakily. "Where am I?" The orange sliver grew larger and he shuddered when he realized it was an eye, a little bit taller than him when standing and reptilian. He stood stock still as it blinked slowly, the pupil appraising him. "We are in a state between minds and dreams." Gorash was nearly deafened by the sudden loudness of the voice and covered his ears with his hands. It wouldn't have made a difference, he could still hear it. "You, little human, have allowed me to see the outside world. We have much to discuss."
"Go get him." Fenrir patted Reaper's hard shoulder and gave him a wide grin, displaying his canines, before stepping back.

Demios and Elistral had finally made it to the small hill. Demios began to descend down, landing close to Reaper. "Reaper. We've come to end this."
Reaper didn't even flinch as Demios landed. "Come to end it? Begone. It isn't your life that i'm after." Reaper continued to watch the battle, watching for a sign of Strider.
Demios drew his sword. "I wasn't asking." Demios charged, it had to be now. "Die!" Demios swung down at Reaper's head.
Reaper caught the blade without turning towards Demios. He spun, pulling the sword with him pulling Demios closer. As Demios came closer Reaper spun and backhanded Demios, sending him flying. Reaper still had his sword in his hands. "Hmph, too slow." Reaper tossed the sword over to the now unconcious Demios and turned back to the battle.
Sylvia continued the trek towards the hill, she had already seen Demios and Elistral land there. She hoped she'd get there soon.

"Demios!" Elistral landed lightly next to his unmoving form. He was still breathing, that was a good sign. Hopefully he would be fine. She drew her sword and walked around him towards Reaper, not noticing that Fenrir had gone over to Demios's aid. "Reaper, why are you doing this? Is it revenge?"
"I know you!" Rore pushed through the crowd and yanked on Crow's shoulder when he tried to duck away. "So now you've joined up with Reaper?"
Zeke gave an indignant squawk and dug his talons into Crow's shoulder. "Aren't I the bad guy? And aren't you going to try and kill me again?"
Rore flinched visibly. "If it comes to that..."
"Then it will." Crow rammed his shoulder into his open stomach and drew his rapier.
"Discuss?" Gorash wasn't able to move. "Are you the one who's--" "It's only a side affect," The voice continued to thunder. "Dragon's blood has always had adverse effects on lesser races."

"You may call it revenge but I call it justice. One death for another. I have chased Strider throughout the world, the galaxy, and even through different dimensions. I've always hunted him for what he's done. You see your precious Strider wasn't always the benevolent being you know. He was once a destroyer of worlds you see. Working to destroy what had to be destroyed. He destroyed my home, my father. Killed him. I've taken it upon myself to bring him to justice so just..." Reaper turned towards Elistral and punched forward. When he did it sent a burst of air so fast and strong it broke the sound barrier. "Stay out of it!"

Elistral tried to use her control over the wind to her advantage but even then she found herself almost flying way. Her blade tore the ground when she dug it in, holding on and pressing her wings against her body tightly. When it'd passed, she flipped the hilt in her hand and continued to advance towards Reaper. "I have no bad feelings for Strider. That is in the past now. Perhaps it was not his own will that pushed him to destroy?" She noticed Fenrir stiffen a bit when she passed by him, then raised her sword at Reaper, the blue runes glowing. "Whatever the reason, I know you have to be stopped." She charged at him just as Demios had done, wondering deeply why Jake had said to stop him.
By Salim, Rore blocked Crow's rapier thrust and returned with a swing from his own sword after stumbling backwards.
"Side affect?" "Of course. Humans have always been susceptible to these things. They haven't changed."

Reaper side stepped the swing, he was in a boxing pose and he punched, cracking the air with his fist. "Fine if you won't stay out then i'll just have to beat you away."
Strider continued his fight through the demon ranks to get to the hill, he had been knocked off his mount now and was sword fighting his way through on foot. It was tough going but he was making progress.
Sylvia had made it to the hill now. She dismounted the horse and climbed up until she could see on top.She saw Elistral fighting Reaper and froze. She got her bow out and drew back on it. "Get away from her!" She released her arrow and it flew at Reaper.
The arrow hit Reaper and pierced his coat. Reaper looked over as the arrow dangled down, not even piercing skin. Reaper flicked his arm and there was an audiable metalic noise. "Metal skin. Your pathetic arrows can't pierce me."
"Oh yeah?" Sylvia drew back again, this time a blue arrow or magic forming. "Try this." She loosed the arrow and it flew towards Reaper.
Reaper didn't dodge he didn't even move really. He put up his hand as the arrow came, catching the tip of it. The arrow blowing up. When the smoke cleared Reaper's hand was fine, if not slightly blackened. "Please. Close Combat mode. I'm more durable than steel right now."

Elistral brought her blade up and braced her shoulder against it to block the punch, wincing when it hit. Later, there would be a massive bruise. "Mother, stay back!" She cried out, jabbing at the back of Reaper's knee and using the wind to through dirt up into the air to obscure his vision.
Crow dodged the sword and stabbed at Rore's hip, the exposed part that wasn't covered by the top of his belt. He had to skip back to avoid a jab from him but noticed blood on the very tip.
"What are these side affects?" "Nothing important. Some blood causes transformation, while others affect psychologically." "So...I haven't been...possessed or...?" "That is merely you, or what humans call 'evil." "But how did...?" "Enough questions! I have not the strength to continue this banter! There is only one I wish to chat with."

Reaper lited up his foot, catching the blade between his thigh and shin. "Nuh uh, elf. Dirty tricks won't work on me. 180 degree vision and 360 degreee sensory radius. I'd love to see you attempt to sneak up on me right now. But she's your mother huh? This shall be fun." Reaper spun on one foot, keeping hold with his leg, attempting to take away the sword.
"And leave you, I don't think so." Sylvia drew back again, this time a red arrow appeared, she was about to loose when she saw Reaper spin.

"Then at least stay at a safe distance!" Elistral managed to say before she was yanked forward, trying to keep a grip on her hilt. One of the middle runes glowed brighter than the rest as she activated it a second before she lost her hold. A sudden crackling noise filled the air as electricity began to spark along the blade's length towards Reaper.
After the thundering reply the massive eye glazed over slightly, an eyelid drooping down about halfway. Gorash realized that was probably all he would get for now seeing as the shadow did not wish to talk anymore and only sleep for the time being. He stood still, unsure of what to do.

Reaper attempted to release the blade but was too late and he started to jerk as the electricity hit him. He fell to the ground, appearing to be unconcious.
Sylvia stretched herself up to get a better look. "Did we get him? I can't tell from here."

"I...I do not know." Elistral approached the fallen Reaper slowly. "Metal conducts lightning well so I guessed it would work..." Her trapped sword's glow began to fade slightly, and she inched closer, bending to pick it up.

Reaper struck out with his hand reaching for Elistral's throat. "Psych!"

Elistral tried to scramble backwards, but her sheath dug into the ground at an angle. She grabbed onto Reaper's wrist and tried to pry his fingers away from her neck, breathing strained.

Reaper stood up, lifting Elistral off the ground as well. Reaper cricked his neck as it made a metalic popping noise. "Wow, that was a nice little volt. But my circuitry was made to withstand much higher amounts of electricity than that." He shifted Elistral in between him and Sylvia. "Looks like your mother can no longer help either. So let's see just how much abuse this body of yours can take shall we?" Reaper reared back with his fist and thrust his hand directly at Elistral's abdomen.
Sylvia watched as Reaper began to repeatedly punch Elistral in the stomach. It was horriying to watch. Sylvia charged at Reaper with her sword.
