Welcome to Gaia! ::

"no..it really isn't one of those.."

*Following his gaze, she turned, her eyes taking in the blinding sight of the very real blazing inferno engulfing the fields outside. Remembering the pot in her hand, Kalie stole a glance at the heavy instrument.. it isn't a rolling pin..but?. Shaking her head, she leaned over and pushed it onto the closest countertop.. knowing full well.. by the looks of the heat ripping the blades to shreds outside, the pot would do little more then melt. Fumbling for his free hand with hers, Kalie's fingers that had once held the cooking utensil twitched..*

"Can he be stopped...?"

"No! You're lying!"

*Looking from to the other in mass confusion, she held onto Soulscour all the more tightly, her the inner rim of her irises blazing a deep red before she squeezed them shut while her arm extended, her palm outstretched to direct the flow of liquid that would soon come to life full force. The razor sharp line that had removed the kitchen wall with precise perfection, exposing pipes and the raw interior of the adjoining walls. Deep under the house, with persuasion of the greatest measure from Kalie, the maze of pipes came to life, the rumbling of water echoing through their domain as the surge of power unleashed itself and began making its way to the surface..*

*Opening her eyes, they flashed briefly, the depths wavering from red to blue then back just as the flames dwindled out in the distance behind Torment.*

((it has pipes..like a normal house..doesn't it? oO.. ))

*Shaking her head in denial, Kalie remained tightly pressed to the false Torment's side, tears starting to well in her eyes..as part of her did know him, but not the part being given the allowance to live by Soulscour's spell.*

"You have no proof, that any of those lies could be true.. you've burned the fields that surrounded my home, and taken an entire wall down.. and I've never once met you.. how could this be your life?"

*Holding her eyes locked to Torment's face, the blue flames casting no reflection in her crimson laced eyes, Kalie continued to stay as a puppet to the spell. Her arm having dropped to her side, holding the water level at the brink of the exposed metal worked tunnels...mostly from the fear that began to rise inside of her, with the shield destroyed, what would block her from the oncoming lash of spells they hurled at one another..*

Soulscour slowly pulled away from Kalie, "Just stay here, this might get messy and I don't want you to get in the way." The way he said it held a dual meaning, he definately didn't want her to come to harm, but alt almost seemed as if he didn't want her hindering him. The tendrils seemed to grow as he was pushed off the ground by their strength, pushing himself high in the air like some form of spider. Soulscour continued pouring energy into small cantrips in order to increase his spell energy. The Energy Font was literally dripping energy in liquid form, causing small explosions of pure energy as the excess hit the ground. For a single moment his appearance seemed to shift back to Vince's but it could be seen more as a trick of the light or the massive amounts of energy he was now harnessing than an actual change in appearance, just a trick of the light...sure...

The purple dusts continued to swirl around Torment as faint outlines begin to concentrate behind him, the dusts slowly solidifying. Good, I've drawn him into the air.... He begins pulling away from the house, raining dust down upon the Razor Fields as he goes. Unseen within the ashes of the old blades new ones begin to form from the dusts. The Energy Font before Torment is brimming with just as much energy as Soulscour's but he has more control, containing all the energy within as he sets up a counter for anything Soulscour might throw at him, the ultimate counter. He speaks softly, but his voice carries to Kalie as if she were no more than inches away, "He's false Kalie, everything is wrong about him. The red tendrils, the emotions, the actions, the way in which he fights. You know Soulscour isn't your love, Kalie, and I know you know it, he's just blinded you. I don't want anyone dead, I just want my life back...."

~~~

Soulscour advances quickly, the tendrils scuttling across the ground as he is propelled ever further upwards and forwards. He casts a few more cantrips and grabs the semisolid disk of energies before him as a wreath of red light surrounds him and deep red flames dance all around him. Slowly he seems to rip in half as the Energy Font dims slightly and splits in two. Two replace the one, with one seemingly a great beast of red light, just as Torment is blue, and the other a demon that stays only as such for a short moment before his appearance changes to match Soulscour before the split. It wasn't any spell, but Soulscour left Vince's body, taking the form of a being of pure malice and destruction though still leaving nothing within Vince's mind but his pounding orders. The two call out to Torment in unison, "Stop spreading your lies! We're done with you!" A great gust of wind tears through the area as though a black hole had opened between the two version of Soulscour, the both of them casting the same spell...

Torment tried to identify the spell being unleashed by the two, but it was unlike any he had encountered before. It definately wasn't Duro Quietus, but if not, then what? With a surge of energy Soulscour's spell fizzled as a counterspell met it head on. He paid little notice to Vince's as he continued to pull away from the house, even against the wind.

~~~

Soulscour smirked with a wide crimson grin in his energy form as his spell fizzled, for his was exacvtly the same as Vince's, just with a slight tweaking to appear different. The sky darkened, but not because of a gathering of clouds, but because the grand palace above was being forced down upon the area, aimed to crush everything in the area. Vince and Soulscour sent echoing laughs through the area as trhe Palace barreled down upon the Razor Fields, large enough in stature to crush the entire plain. It mattered little to Soulscour, he had no body any longer, crushing those in the area mattered little to him. Teleportation in the area seemed to be disrupted by the palace itself. He called back towards Kalie with a look of faked concern, "Kalie! Get out of Here! Torment's bringing down the Palace upon us all!"

Torment twitched slightly as he glanced back at the falling Palace that had been crumbling before, but is now actually coming down completely. He turned from Soulscour and Vince and dashed towards the underside of the Palace, great arcs of blue light whipping out from his body and colliding with the Palace as they seemed to dig themselves into the bedrock. The entire Razor Fields shudder as a shockwave pulses out from Torment as he impacts with the underside of the Palace.Great purple wings that span over 25 feet, just a single wing, extend out from the electric blue mass of energy that is Torment as the Palace seems to come to a halt in it's fall. His voice drifts to Kalie once more, though strained, "Kalie...I didn't do this, I was performing a counter, it was clearly evident. Soulscour is lying, please...just run. I don't know how long I can hold the Palace. Get out of the Razor Fields."

*Quivering with fright and oblivious to anything said within the fields, the glassy surfaced ball tore across the flattened blades, darting in and out from under half crushed stalks till it passed the boundaries of the palace's shadow further darkening the crushed blades.*
