Nuba was both dumbfounded and intrigued "Master, I do believe that girl has you all wrong. But, forgive me, I believe you also have her all wrong. She may not appear to be anything, but, I have been built to register one's power, both apparent and latent, and according to my readings, that girl has enough power to fully neutralize the Blood Sea!"

Xiaeriene appeared back in the prison just as the Emperor was about to leave. "God Emperor Cicero. You think lowly of me, and you are not prepared to listen to a complete stranger." She knocked away guards as the went to take care of her, and she destroyed the collar that was attempted to be fitted on her. "I will prove to you my worth, and the strength of my heart, in a one on one duel with you! I will not nor hide, nor will I back down, but I will succeed, upon my fathers' honor, and my determination to protect those I hold dear to me, I will not be beaten, even by a god!" She froze more guards in ice as they attempted to subdue her and affix another collar on her

"Enough! If she's so steadfast in hurrying to her grave, then will be." He didn't bother turning. Leaving a seemingly open target for the enemy. The remaining guards pulled their fallen comrades off to the side where they quickly used their laser rifles to melt the ice.

Xiaeriene summoned her staff, then closed her eyes "Father, give me the strength I need..." She held onto her staff, beginning to glow, and she looked to the Emperor "Alright, Gramps, remove all five of your limiters, want you at your full power! Make no mistake, I believe what you say about the full extent of your powers, but nevertheless, I am not afraid, I am prepared to face you no matter what. It is something I must dofor myself, for the memories of my parents, for my friends, and all of the people who I must protect! Test me, put me through a real trial, one that will determine whether or not my past six years on the brink of nothingness have given me enough power to protect those I hold dear. If I cannot stand up to the powers of someone like you, then how could I hope to stand against the forces I will soon face?" She knew she would not win in a battle against him; she had the powers of a goddess, but they were still limited by her earthly body, and she could sense the awesome power of his being held back by the limiters.

"We will not fight here. I will not have the tax payers bare the burden of some head strong child with a power trip. we will go to a place that is built for combat. And you will not see me at full power." He began walk back toward the training zone. He turned down a hall and went toward the original combat area he took Nuba to. He pressed a button on his gauntlet a ship above targeted the combat area. It fired off a capsule. It landed in the combat zone as the Emperor stepped inside. Sensing his energy it opened. Without a warning the Emperor teleported to it. He took the weapon inside. The war hammer the Emperor took hold of sparked to life as Xiaeriene entered. A murmur broke out as it did so among his entourage who were now in the observation area. The war hammer of Daemon Slaughter was designed specifically for use of the Emperor in slaying daemons of all kinds. It was endowed with the Emperor's fullest power the one time in his long life he needed to deploy it.
The observer pressed a button that locked down the chamber. A energy field spread around the room. It was built using ship strength force fields generators.
"Child, make peace with yourself. For it is today that your life will end."

She smiled to the Emperor and bowed, as her father had taught her "I am already there, Gramps, but you won't be killing me today. I refuse to die, because I still have people I must protect, and until I have procured their safety, I will not die, not even at the hands of a god!" She went into her basic Icebolt formation, and took up a basic battle stance. "You may be much more powerful than I, you may very well be much wiser and intelligent. But, unlike you, I fight to protect those I love, those I care about. I fight to protect beauty and peace and happiness and other joys a stonehearted old man like you obviously has never experienced. They power me, they guide me, and my heart gives me the strength I need to overcome any obstacle that lay before me, no matter how large it may be. And nothing, not even a god, can take that power away from me!" Tears were streaming down her eyes, but she smiled "I have Kiai to protect me, I do not need anything else!" She tossed away her staff and stood there, with arms outstretched, her charge completely fading.

"Your passion is misplaced! You're on the battlefield! Not some sappy midday TV drama!" He pressed a button on his gauntlet. A side of it popped off and fell to the ground. The second it hit a massive shock wave of psychic energy fired forth in all directions from the Emperor at the speed of sound. It rippled like water as it was deflected off of the force fields. With only one removed his power shot up to equal of Xiaeriene's. The shock wave threw her her back into the force field. The Warhammer of Daemon Slaughter kept his power limited to equal hers. The limit would flux as needed. "Ready for combat child! I will show you my conviction for my people in your death! He snarled.

Xiaeriene stood her ground, leaning forward as she focused her energies, protecting herself as the shockwave hit. She shook her head at the emperor "No, you are wrong. My conviction is what keeps me going. My heart is connected with the hearts of many; the hearts of my family, my friends, my rivals, loved ones and those dear to me. They give me the strength to stand up to anything in my way, and they guide me to victory. You underestimate the power of the heart" Her staff appeared in her hands, and she broke a piece off of it "Your power is great, far greater than mine will ever be. But, power is not everything, and I will not be beaten by the stonehearted rationality of a sullen old man who watches Soap Operas!" She tossed the piece toward him, and breaking off another, she tossed it behind her, at the same time extending herself up with her staff. "Icebolt Separation!" She catapulted forward, toward him, her staff used to send her at him faster than the speed of sound.

The Emperor side stepped the attack. "Show me your conviction then. Prove it's stronger than my convictions to my people and protecting them!" He used the psychic energy bouncing around the room to latch onto everything that bared Xiaeriene's energy. He closed his free hand and grabbed hold of everything. Teleporting was useless as they were both trapped until one was down and everything in the room was now under the Emperor's guidance. He slammed everything he had in his grasp into a force field, legs first. Aiming to break hers. Using psychic energy behind the objects and Xiaeriene he sped them to a super high speed before they slammed into the field. Before she would be able to stand he teleported and was looking down on her, his hammer raised. It was flaring intensely lusting for her blood.

Xiaeriene was caught off guard by the attack, and her left leg had been broken due to the force. She mustered up her power as he brought down the hammer, breaking free, summoning a portion of her staff to block his hammer. She could feel the immense power threatening to crush her if she let go, and thinking quickly, she rolled aside, twirling her staff to bring his hammer down into the floor as she let go of it. "Icebolt Convergence!" The two portions of the staff broke free, and extended to full length of the arena. She stood up, ignoring the pain in her leg, and summoned her staff. She leaped onto one of the staff beams, keeping a firm grip on her staff. She charged up, but was hit full force in the face by the hammer as the emperor appeared beside her, sending her flying into the force field. She got back up, blood dripping down the side of her head, and took up her stance again. She knew she could not win, and with his advanced psychic techniques, there wasn't much a barrier would do. She took up her stance, facing him down with an expression of determination in her eyes

"What is your name, daemon?" The Emperor asked as he looked at her, unimpressed with what he's seen so far.

Xiaeriene gazed at the Emperor inquisitively for a moment, then smiled "I told you earlier, it's Xiaeriene, and don't call me names, I am a human, not a demon. Geez, Gramps, has old age affected your memory?" She giggled, beginning to feel a bit lightheaded, but actually enjoying herself. This battle was nothing but a training session, as intense and deadly as the ones her father Sora use to give her before he had left on his trip. Back then, everything was different. "Daddy..." She muttered, a tear running down her cheek. She regained attention, focusing on the battle at hand "I am having fun, Gramps, this training session was more than I had hoped for. Let's keep going!" She smiled sweetly, then regained her stance, summoning her staff back in full "ICEBOLT FORMATION, MIRAGE SHOW!" Six Xiaeriene's appeared, each having the exact same energy, aura, looks, and feel. The only difference between then was the color of her dress, as each one wore a different colored one. They spread out, as Xiaeriene continued to focus on the battle.

"Is that it? You're delusional. Not only in battle but with your blood line as well!" He swung his free arm toward them. Another wave of psychic energy was sent to smash into them at high speeds. A few more of them wouldn't be able to change the out come. Specially when he knew the real one.

Xiaeriene growled at the Emperor's insult toward her family, and as the attack decimated the clones, the real Xiaeriene brought up a barrier to meet the wave of Psychic energy. She grunted, struggling against the force of it "Don't....you.....ever.....talk......bad.....about.....my......Daddy!!!" With a loud roar, she forced back the wave, sending it back at the Emperor. "You won't beat me! I will never lose to one who feels the need to degrade others! My Daddy was more powerful than you will ever be!"

The wave broke around the emperor as though he were an island in a tsunami. Now two waves, both amplified to the power of the first flowed around him and fired back at Xiaeriene. "Your blood is that of daemons, child. My hammer wouldn't thirst so if you weren't."
