Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Tyrsais looked at Nana noting her aura was changing. The ice wasnt meant to deal with her so quickly he had to do something... He sheathed Tranquility on its fastens on his back, before reaching back, and pulling Carnage. The unholy blade began to bleed infernal energies in her presence. It could be felt literally thristing for her blood. He pressed his weight further down on the bot so that it would become apparent he held its life in his hands::

Dont do anything foolish girl... if you are truly one of the master's guests then we are on the same side, and you dont want me to have to kill you.

Fine Zeno...

::He pulled his leg back kicking the bot lightly before running in the other direction leaping onto one of the nearby walls ripping into the walls moving quickly to make it difficult for the machines to track him::

Irvine could really feel Xol's energy. It had erupted with power as soon as he stepped through the barrier. Irvine made his way towards it. So far he hadn't seen any robots. No one really paid him any mind. Though Irvine had an uneasy sense that he was being watched. He shook it off remembering where he was. Mastema had eyes everywhere in his Citadel. Irvine turned a corner and ran up a long street. He was getting close to Xol because the aura was still getting stronger. The fallen angelic aura he had been feeling earlier suddenly exploded with power. Irvine stopped for a moment. He shook his head and then continued towards Xol's posistion.

"Ugh...I hate this place...it's a friggin maze in here...."

Irvine turned another block and began running up it. He was very close now. He also sensed another power. Irvine was surprised that he hadn't found it before. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Alright...I sense ya, now where the bloody hell are ya?"

prototype: *The prototype had no armor installed over itself. Tyr's attacks had easily and heavily damaged the hydraulics in its shoulder and legs. With its remaining arm the prototype struggles to lift inself to the side. It's eye was still blinking*

*The droids watch Tyrsais leave, knowing that his assistance was needed against the other intruders, who'd now caught their attention. The drones all start to scatter and take up posts around the citadel as they prepare to fire on Xol and Irvine if they were needed*

Zeno: gah... *the primary objective warning on his HUD vanishes and he returns to normal* BZZT! That's it.... something is dying today!! *Turning away from Nana, Zeno bolts off down the streets, closing in on Irvine's position* This guy's mine!

Slayer: Hmph. *Slayer seems to fade right from where he was and reappears a few feet away from where he was, using a common vampiric gift of vanishing* You're using up your energy rather quickly with your paradoxal magic.... A mistake I will not make. *Slayer was being careful. He hadn't fought Xol before and wasn't going to jump headlong into an attack. He was developing a tactic to use*

Xol lands on the ground and dissipates the energy thet had formed in his right gauntlet for later use. "Well Slayer, it seems that I'll have to be more tactical and one on one with you that I originally thought." He shrugged, forming a blade of energy in each gauntlet.

Irvine was close by, he could sense him now. No doubt he was fighting off enemies on his own accord, so his help couldn't be counted on at the moment.

"By the techniques I've seen you use so far...it seems you're of vampiric nature. Interesting." He said with a faint smirk, letting the blades trail through the air in a lacsadaisical way.

::He shrugged lightly at Irvine, and began to feed the built up energy into the staff as the ambient temperature in the area began to drop as well as the amount of static electricity built up. He studied Irvine for a moment before speaking with respect::

I am here to defend Lord Mastema's assets from attacks. Also I serve my own interests. However Irvine if you wish to go further then I'll have to inquire as to why you are here, or ask you to leave...

Slayer: *chuckles slightly* Oh I'm a very ancient vampire. Perhaps you've heard of my late father..... he was called Nosferatu. *He blows some smoke from his pipe and suddenly leans down close to the ground* Mach Punch! *He leaps forward at a rather quick speed and tilts his torso so it's perpendicular to the ground. His fist is infused with extra power and force, once again his special, and made to push opponents back with the force*

Zeno: Ku~~ twisted Oh this is perfect. *Zeno remained in the shadows to Irvine. The static electricity in the air was drawn to him like a sponge. He was absorbing the energy to increase his attack power*

*The bots were now ready. Each takes aim with its weapon and waits for an order from Mastema, Zeno, or Slayer to attack*

*Mastema himself appears in the midst of it all, hiding his identifying signatures* Nana.... are you injured? *He was standing near her but looking away, obviously ready if someone should appear*

"Nosferatu...yes indeed..." Xol started, but stopped abruptly seeing Slayer coming at him screaming 'Mach Punch'. He brought both blades up in a 'X' pattern to catch the fist so that brunt of the impact would be directed towards them and not him.

When the fist hit, he was pushed back a few feet...again tearing up the ground in his wake. As soon as he stopped though, he was dashing forward with unparamounted speed. He sent a quick slash to the arm that had produced the 'Mach Punch' before parring to the opposite side and sending a quick series of stabs into the the mans gut region.

::Noting that Irvine atleast for the moment wasnt causing much of a distrubance he jumped into the air, and headed towards Xol's position. He had no more wish to deal with Irvine, but Xol was a constant annoyance in the past. He leapt from building to building hoping that some mechanical defenses would be reallocated to Irvine::
