It was almost as if he were dreaming. Well, not dreaming. It was as if he were outside of someone else's dreams and was merely observing what was going on within them. Yet it did not take long for Riyel to realize these were not dreams...at least most of them weren't. It was quiet for the most part in this realm, only the sounds of voices that he knew were apparent with one of those being his own. And as he floated on, he was enveloped in a flash of light as he was thrusted into the depths of memories, dreams, hopes, and pain. Something that many desire to do, revisit the past and maybe see the future. But Riyel did not want to...but he had to.
In a flash, he appeared back at his hold home...Grandma's house. His father was there? "This is it...goodbye Annette." Holding a blonde bundle in his arms, he turned and walked away grieving as Grandma, her daughter dead, held another blonde bundle in her arms, the babe's blue eyes watching the blond man walk away...
It was then that Riyel fell out of the memory, cascading into the next one to come.
Screaming. It wasn't hard for him to remember this day as he watched it continue like a movie. The first thing he saw was a young hand shaking an older, much more wrinkled one, all so desperately. The pain in the young voice... All he needed to see was that...the hand and the hospital room. Looking up, he saw a young boy shaking his grandmother's hand. "GRANDMA.....GRANDMA.....DON'T LEAVE ME....PLEEEEEEEAAASE....I HAVE TO MAKE YOU PROUD! YOU HAVE TO SEE ME BECOME A SEED! PLEASE......Please...please..." It had descended into just whispers but the hands were still tight around the elderly woman's body. All that could be heard other than silence was the weeping of the young lad that lay before the hospital bed, begging for the one loved one in his life to return. He did not want to be alone. He hated being alone. And no boy wants to feel that way for what seems like forever. No breath would come from her though , and the doctors coming in to take care of her body... The weeping boy ran out of the room, knocking down a nurse as he ran out of the hospital.
The Unbroken Leader was tired of this...but knew he had to ride it out. He was feeling emotions he hadn't felt in years, reliving the past was almost unbearably nostalgic. But he could guess what was coming next...and it was answered with a roar.
There was fire. Fire everywhere. Among the trees...among the rocks. And the beast of flame before the small body was something of majestic evil. A young SeeD was screaming at the boy as a water spell struck the monstrosity before him...but the boy still played. Even as the water struck the beast, making collide into the river next to it, it was almost soothed it seemed. And the boy continued to play. "Get the ******** away from here kid!" The Seed yelled as he ran towards Ifrit. And it was then a blast of fire shot and struck the SeeD in a ball, throwing him into the ground. The SeeD looked on, horrified as the great beast leaped, landing in front of the boy, who looked up in terror now as the beast's hand knocked the boy down, placing his body between the hand and the ground. "Young foollll." the voice he knew so well spoke out, "Your bravery and foolish will not go unrewarded... You almost had me beat to that damn fool with your musical wind. I shall grant you power...and you shall grant me conquest." The look on the boy's face was terrified to say the least as the flame demon looked at him, before a flash of light erupted, the beast seeming to become ethereal and start to rush into the boy. All he could do was scream as the SeeD finally managed to get to his feet, terrified.
That was the price of becoming one with Ifrit. It felt as if flame were coercing through your body, flame filled with hate and loathing that seemed to want to control you, possess you. But it went away, the pain at least. That was one thing Ifrit had taught him well. Pain is always there, and always enduring. But you adjust to it and endure it. But there was only so much one could take.
And that was when a flurry of thoughts, and what seemed to be memory appearing out of nowhere in flashes. A memory of studying in the library, alone and in the dead of the night while another of him cleaning again quietly in the mess of another graduation party. Memories of Lloyd and he in Fisherman's horizon fishing as they had nothing else to do. Another of him sitting in front of a bed, Nona lying bandaged up with his eyes on her, bandages in hand. Memories of tears. Memories of loathing. And memories of pain. Very little joy was to be had, not even the shock of becoming a father could help stay the flood of hurt he was feeling. But it did not stop there. It only flourished as what ifs seemed to appear from out of nowhere. Riyel with a young blonde boy, another with a blonde boy and an almost pink haired child. One of him and a lady together in the dead of night overlooking Winhill, and another of him alone in the woods, bearded and silent as he watched over the woods at night, Elliot beside him. Memories of hope. Memories of sadness. Memories were almost the bane of his existence. Almost.
Regret is what he felt the most.
And at a moment's notice, he appeared in the middle of nothing. And yet it was the middle of everything. And before his eyes lay the bane of life: Ultimecia and Karas. Not even a breathe was released. Not a sound came from in. Everything to be felt was rage. Pain. And it was there fault. THERE FAULT. As soon as they had appeared and Riyel could see them, he moved. Quicker than he ever had prior, he shot diagonally with his gunblade out as he used his first spell just as Karas said his own, the light erupting and exploding behind him just as Riyel swung downward, "Firaga." the wave of flame was massive as it shot towards Karas, Lloyd's water spell and the Firaga looking to strike Karas in the middle as Lloyd went in for multiple blows, Riyel doing the same from the other side. "Support spells." The communication device on his head was still active, as was the others and Nona would know who it was directed towards.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

{{OOC:// Have fun.}}
"You'll never get much done if you have to say your spells." Karas taunted, taking a step back as the two brothers came at him. He took in the direction of both of their attacks and their movements before acting, also making sure to note that Nona had drawn something from him. He didn't know what it was, but he knew it would likely become a chore to deal with. What was more troubling was Nona's ranged weapon. It would no doubt prove to be a great hassle. Karas snapped his fingers as his wings snapped out and he bent his knees. If they thought he was limited to just side to side movements and dodging back, they were in for a nasty surprise. As the two's spells approach, he took to the air with surprising quickness, letting the two spells cancel one another out. He knew better with Nona around than to keep in the air though. This made Lloyd's attempt to follow through the watera attack useless, as Karas went way up and over to avoid it.
Karas dove back to the ground, skidding on his feet as he flicked his hands out at both Riyel and Lloyd. This motion was the only warning to the two got before smaller flare type spells exploded where they were. A final, third was directed at Nona who had shot at Ultimecia. Nona's bullet stopped in the air several yards from Ultimecia who didn't even seem to notice it. The bullet didn't fall, it remained suspended in the air making it more likely that there was a space around Ultimecia where time was stopped currently. There wasn't much the group could do to get near her if she kept that up. "Now now, focus Nona." Karas chided, watching as the smaller flare exploded where Nona was. His attention was basically everywhere, keeping tabs on all three of them at very nearly the same time.
And it honestly seemed like he wasn't even bothered by the three of them. It was almost like he was just messing with them. Karas

Karas moved, but not far enough that Nona had to split her attention. She wanted to scream at the sorceress when she saw her own bullet suspended in mid-air- was it slowed or stopped? But she had to push that out of her mind, because Karas was raising his hand toward her. She took to a run, circling around the three boys to keep from being pegged by a Flare. One monster at a time…
She looked at Karas, and she saw. The pulse of life, the sparkle of magic, the subtlest motions and expressions. They hadn’t even scratched him. That would change. ”You can pull –ara spells from him, and Cure” she said into her communicator as she kept herself moving. ”Lambda!” She said the key word as she got into position. The boys were behind Karas, with her on the opposite side. Karas couldn’t pay attention to all three of them at once; the human brain was unable to focus on multiple stimuli effectively. Karas’ attention was on her for the moment, and she kept it there by reaching for him, stealing away some power in a swirl of silver and green lights. They rushed toward her, swirled around her, and pulsed once.
Draw, Thundara!
The first bolt came from above him, the second from behind, the third from above again, filling the wasteland with the sound of threefold thunder. Wings wouldn’t help him avoid the sky’s fury. And that was just the beginning.

 Tsh, flight?! He should have anticipated that! Karas took to the sky to avoid the Watera and landed casting out his hands toward the brothers. Gritting his teeth Lloyd flipped horizontally barely avoiding the explosion. He then tried for Nona while Ultimecia seemed aloof to the whole ordeal. She'd regret underestimating them, but now was not the time. Lloyd clenches his fist and felt maximum hound was almost fully charged. Nona was on the move and called out a formation. Smirking Lloyd lashed out his spear as Nona cast forward a blanket of Thundara to keep the sorcerer rooted. Within the next moment, Lloyd cast forward Fenrir with precise aim for Karas's upper body. However, that wasn't all. "Riyel!" he called out for his sibling to complete the trifecta. Just then Maximum hound gave a pulse, it was fully charged! He just had to wait for his moment.

It was instinct. Primal. Righteous. Wild. "Keep him on his toes, don't let him breathe." Two voices but one could only be heard. Ifrit and Riyel had spoken at the same time, the same thought rushing through their minds. Riyel's message went through the communicators as just as Nona shouted out a formation. Lambda. It was good that Karas was facing Nona as she unleashed the fury of the storm upon the Sorcerer. Lloyd took this advantage and threw Fenrir at the seemingly unaware man and further commanded for Riyel to follow up.
With pleasure.
Karas's flare spell missed once more as Riyel moved, following the throw of the spear with his Infiniti Edge in tow, ready to cleave the man in two. "Keep moving, staying still makes you more vulnerable." That was more to Lloyd than Nona but could easily apply to both as the Ringer moved. Haste. The rush of the spell seemingly covering his being was quick to recognize as he braced himself and swung horizontally with his blade at Karas's backside, aiming to cleave the b*****d in two especially if the lightning or Fenrir caught him unawares.

Into Anger and Fears
"Hm. Wonder what she said into that." Karas mused as Nona said something. He couldn't hear her, but that wasn't too important to him at the moment as he glanced over his shoulder at the other two. He wasn't too impressed at them dodging his flares. If they continued to though, he'd have to get more exact in stopping them. As much as this could be entertaining for him, he knew that there would be others coming. It would be a chore to deal with these three and the others at the same time. his attention went back to Nona as he felt her draw a spell from him. He tsked and snapped his finger at her, triggering a flare where she stood. Even with his ability to cast Flare near instantly, that didn't stop Nona's spell from going off. Karas shifted to lower his body to the ground to lessen the impact of the lightning strike. Lloyd might have gotten Karas by surprise right there if not for his yelling.
Karas snapped around, his wings kicking out to keep him from stumbling as he slipped to the side naturally. Nona lighting struck true, hitting Karas even as he spun, but the bolts themselves didn't seem to even phase him. In fact, as odd as it was, he showed no reaction to getting hit. Lloyd's spear had similiar success, striking Karas when he wasn't prepared for it, though something odd happened. The spear looked like it should have hit Karas directly at his side, but the spear veered away just as it was about to hit him, like it had hit something else. This was followed by Karas pressing his hand against the spear as it passed. There was an explosive crash and the spear went flying through the air, soaring off into the distance. And then there was Riyel.
"Ultima." It was the first time he'd said a spell, and it wasn't one that the others would have been familiar with, minus perhaps Nona. Even as Riyel approached, a blinding light sparked into life in the air above Karas as he smirked. The light seemed to howl, screeching loudly as the air distorted around it. And then, to Lloyd and Riyel it would have been like the world just fell apart and was replaced by nothing but green death. A explosion of green colored magic tore it's way through the air near instantly. If Riyel had hit Karas, he certainly wouldn't have gotten the satisfaction from it. The explosive spell tore out well past the range Lloyd had been. Nona, being the farthest out, was the luckiest of them. She instead got to see the greenish haze that exploded from the center and tore the area apart with magic. The haze dispersed after a moment, leaving Karas standing, unharmed, but not particularly amused. He took the moment to get his bearings on what had happened to the two he had struck with the spell and Nona. Karas

Alright! They had him now! It was all a matter of tim- what?! "Ri-riyel!" Lloyd darted to pull his brother back as the light howled with a terrible scream. The light exploded engulfing the brothers and it all seemed to white out. Lloyd couldn't feel anything, he couldn't feel his body being torn apart or the vitality following from his wounds. His expression was one of shock as his eyes widened, despite the screaming it was silent within the light. It muffled his senses and at the end of it Lloyd was blown back and landed onto his back slipping away. He gazed at the empty sky was shallow breaths as his vision shook and wavered. He felt...tired. As if he wanted to sleep. Death's hand transcended time and space and was ready to at last claim the blonde that had avoided his grasp for far too long. This was the ultimate fate of a SeeD, death. It would not be denied this time. Lloyd could feel it's cold grasp clenching around his body as his eyes began to close.
"No..." A single heartbeat, with it carrying a memory of his childhood. The memory of being a failure of a student then growing wanting to be acknowledged by his peers and Kyrrdis.
"No...!" Another heartbeating carrying the weight of the impossible training he endured to put his body at the limits and beyond. Never once giving up.
"No!" Vitality flowed through him once more as death's hand was made to release the boy who wouldn't quit. Memories of the Unbroken, everyone who was counting on them. Losing was not an option! Too much was at stake.
Karas would have seen the battered and bloodied body of the blonde slowly stand once more against the odds. There was nothing else, no Ultimecia, no comrades, everyone one of Lloyd's senses narrowed on Karas. His hair hid his eyes as his fingertips twitched dripping with his blood.
"Black wings...like an angel...huh? Angels who take...angels who destroy...angels who do whatever they like" Lloyd muttered taking a step forward and flexing his hand clad in maximum hound. Had Karas thrown a flare, Lloyd would have suddenly darted to the side with such speed that it looked as though he teleported but appeared to be walking toward the man once more.
"Then I'll..." Lloyd dropped into a low dash rapidly gaining speed like a man possessed. "Drag you to hell." He looped around his foe with a single kick. Just as Karas would turn his head Lloyd was on the other side of him with a vicious punch. Over and over, again and again, the blonde was everywhere at once it seemed. Lloyd unleashed a flurry of focused strikes from all sides battering Karas or his barrier, whichever met his fist first. Faster and faster the blows came until Lloyd was a furious blur. Finally, Lloyd spun down in front of Karas pulling back his maximum hound back and bolting it forward for Karas's gut. His fist hit the barrier...
...crack
Could it be?
...CRACK
How?!
With a howl, Maximum hound pierced through the barrier and collided with Karas's stomach. The moment it made contact, maximum hound shone with a black light. The force of the blow shot through the sorcerer's body carving a wide gash in the earth behind him. Lloyd held him there in that moment his body strained and twisting the weapon into Karas's stomach. Had they made eye contact, Lloyd locked him in his gaze of sheer desire to see Karas run cold and torn into pieces.
Following the delay of the moment, a surge of unknown force shot down Lloyd's arm and crashed into Karas with such force that it distorted the air. With a roar from the blonde Lloyd punched Karas with all the force his body would allow and sent him darting away. Afterward, Lloyd then collapsed to a knee. He panted snapping out of his trace gritting his teeth.

And then there was pain. Riyel's blade had struck Karas' side but to no avail, all he could see then was a flash of green light and just pain. It happened every mission it seemed. There would always be that one explosion that threw almost everything away and screwed Riyel and those he was with quicker than any of them could have imagined.
And like a bird, he flew.
He flew over Lloyd and scattered on the ground, his body rolling on the ground with his Gunblade clattering beside his blackened body.
He wished that Death would take him if this was what the entire fight and what would ensue would be like. Faith almost vanished entirely from beneath him...almost. Fighting could still be heard as he heard Lloyd scream, his head raising slowly to see his brother charging with a limit break. To the others, it would still look like he had not moved at all but his eyes managed to follow Lloyd as he charged at Karas.
Grunting quietly, Ri tried to get to his knees as quickly as he could, grasping out for his Gunblade. He would have to worry about himself, he knew. Nona would be too focused on Karas....and Lloyd. His teeth began to grind as he fought the pain. He hadn't missed that exchange. He hadn't wanted to think about it...but it popped up in his head for no reason. Just another reminder. And it made him want this to end even more. Riyel would have to rely on himself.
Himself.

Nona knew better than to stand still after her spell; she took off again, and caught the edge of the Flare spell instead of standing in its center. The eruption tore at her back and flung her forward across the wasteland, rolling through dirt and across rocks. She didn’t stop rolling before she was working on getting back to her feet, swearing into her communicator. ”Damnit. It’s more than the usual spells; it doesn’t just reduce damage, it’s completely nullifying it,” she reported. ”It’s weakening, but he won’t flinch from a hit until-“ The green blast cut her off. Both the boys were hurled out of the blast radius, smoking and crumpled, and Nona felt a stab of fear. But a glance at both clarified they were alive, if in worse shape. Lloyd got up first. She recognized the energy in that attack; he’d been pushed to his Limit.
Nona prepared herself to act as soon as the onslaught ran its course, motes of energy swirling around her. Lloyd through his final punch, and it seemed like he tore through the barrier. Nona could only hope…and test.
Cura! she invoked, and pink and silver light erupted around her, Lloyd, and Riyel. It wasn’t enough to get them all to a safe measure, but it was better. No sooner than the glow faded, it was replaced by another one; this one heralding another exchange of energy between her and the sorcerer. Power flowed away from him, reached her, and fired back in a new form.
Draw, Thundara!
The first bolt erupted up from underneath Karas, the second from his left side, the third over his head. Nona never stopped moving, but she kept her eyes on him, hoping Lloyd’s Maximum Hound had done what it advertised…
((Lloyd and Riyel each regain 510 HP)

{{OOC:// }}
The Extreme
Karas looked pleased with his work, looking at the fallen Lloyd and Riyel, glancing up at Nona. The smirk he gave her was probably all that was need to determine his satisfaction with the fact Lloyd and Riyel hadn't escaped the blast. He was surprised with how readily the more injured of the brothers rose to his feet. Karas turned his attention from Nona and focused on the young man, pondering how to end his life. He was surprised though as he opted for a flare. Lloyd practically seemed the teleport. This earned a 'tsk' from Karas who prepared to throw another. Whatever he was about to do was totally lost as Lloyd rushed. "Troublesome." Karas muttered, responding the Lloyd's rush by stepping back. Such a small amount of space made little difference in the long run.
Lloyd was on him in a moment, a blur of motion. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Karas lacked much of the speed that Lloyd had in terms of attacking capabilities, but he responded quite well to guarding and deflecting blows. It was an assault, one that Lloyd had the upper hand in. With every block or deflect, another blow found it's place quickly earning much ire from Karas. Karas might have triggered another ultima if not for the sudden finish. Karas had enough time to bring his arms down to lessen the impact, but even he was shocked as he actually felt the blow and was blown away. Karas slid, shaking his arms with a wince. He quickly deduced the cause, looking severely at Lloyd's weapon, but he didn't have much time to really think on it as Nona's spell jumped in to save the day.
Karas's wings snapped out and threw him back. While taking flight in a lightning storm was a bad idea, staying low to the ground was not so bad. Some residual electricity came into contact with him, but, curiously, like before the spell seemed to touch the air surrounding him and not actually touch Karas. Whatever Lloyd had done had only lasted for the moment of his strike. Karas came to a stop, in a kneeling position as his wings folded behind him as he shot a glare at both Lloyd and Nona. He had not actually expected to be hit by one of them, and he could feel a distinct pain across both his arms and gut.
"Dispelga." Karas glanced to the side as he heard the voice. In the off chance that Nona and the other's had forgotten, Ultimecia was still very much present. Nona's bullet from prior fell to the ground harmlessly as the trio no doubt felt their magical enhancements disperse. "Time Stop." And it was over. To them, it was like suddenly they were surrounded by bolts of dark magic, flying in at the trio in their various locations to tear them to shreds. The entire lack of warning and shear amount of them made things very problematic. "Foolish Seed. Your meddling ends now."

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock
Reality distorted, illusion of a pair lingered. Memories lost. A cycle. Loss, finding, refound. Repeat, extended. A future with children. Twins, an elder brother, a youngest sister; the sorceress. A field with flowers. A home in Winhill. Back to then, meeting. Fear of rejection. Loss again. A fox with wings, a burst of darkness. A last stand in a hall. A Garden burning, destroyed. And overwhelming dark. Wings of a tropical array and the Knight that stood beside them. The clock face stretches out forever, forced to a single point.
A distorted image of a cherry blossom tree showering it's petals and the fox with wings sitting at it's base. Clock faces make up the sky. A lifetime worth of experience rooted into a single form. Their future, present, and past all put together in a single space. Their eyes open. Ellale Laytos & Tearia Limmari {{OOC:// (click for music)"Final Dream" }}
"Tae, cover the others!"
Her voice rung out in response to the attack that had been unleashed on the trio. Reality had distorted and the pair had stepped through, already in a battle stance. Oddly, Tae held not two swords, but only one. In Ellale's hands rested her partner's blade. There wasn't time for either of the two to really talk, but there was definitely something different in that moment. Ellale held Tae's blade out in front of her, and simultaneously Tae's own blade burst full of light that seemed to distort space around it. Something was happening, something unusual. The free strand of Ellale's hair whipped about behind her as if there were a strange air pressure around her and her partner. Her wings formed into life behind her, taking a strong beat before folding over her shoulders. Ellale's eyes closed and to her, the world seemed to be drowned out by the sound of wind and water. To the others, it looked like she was just standing there.
”Mmm." was the only sound Tae gave in response to Ellale's command before she was off. In a blur of colors her legs carried her over the flat empty terrain. A single blade in one hand. Using the speed of her junction she pushed her legs forward even faster. Her red eyes narrowed in on her targets her grip tightening just a fraction on the hilt her blade. There was no time to waste as she closed in.
Her body moved freely, and if anyone could see her, Tae's movement might have appeared like she was performing a dance with the blade. To Tae it did feel like she was dancing incredibly quickly as she moved, to the others her image would have appeared to flicker in and out of existence. Much like an old fashion movie with several of the clips missing. Quick swipes of her blade were made in the air. Though to trio it might have just seemed like lines of light slicing in the air at quick and random places as Tae moved quickly. From those light streaks the area around them distorted as if they were tearing apart the air. In fact, it was tearing apart the dark magic that was launched at the trio. Each pierce of light the dark magic broke and crumbled. The light pealing away the darkness in time to save the three.
Tae's movements left traces in the air, white lines that seemed to shimmer in the space they found themselves. Through these 'cracks', petals drifted into the wasteland. It was, in a way, beautiful. The way the petals floated towards the ground asked what lay beyond those cuts in space, a question that would soon be answered as Ellale opened her eyes and spun Tae's sword loosely in her hand. "Here I come." She tilted forward, digging her feet in as she saw Tae's dance come to an end. She'd give everything she had for this, pulling upon the sorceries she was familiar with, and perhaps something personal to her. Tae had set the field, and she'd open the gate. With a exhale, Ellale shot forward like she was shot from a cannon, flicking Tae's sword so that it was held reverse in her hand. She tore past the trio, her eyes glancing monetarily at Lloyd as she passed him with a serious expression. "tell them to get down." Her voice was soft, but definitely loud enough for Lloyd to hear.
Ellale twisted as she snapped past Karas, swinging her sword wide. She landed several yards past him, sliding for several feet as she spun Tae's blade. "I'll bring that place into reality. If you blink you'll miss the moment." Ellale swung Tae's blade out, and reality itself buckled, the lines that had been left by Tae fractured out, tearing through space before, ultimately, shattering like glass. Reality became a blur of the petals. The blindness only lasted for a moment, opening into a grand view of a cherry blossom tree. It was a massive things with twisting roots that now made up the ground on which everyone stood. Petals were falling slowly from the tree, lazily falling to the ground.
"Sakura Waltz!"
The petals that had been falling harmlessly suddenly changed shape into blades in the sky, tiny little blades of light, not entirely different from what Ultimecia had done moments before with dark, before firing at Karas and Ultimecia mercilessly. It lasted only a moment, and in that moment, Ellale disappeared from where she stood and reappeared next to Tae, holding Tae's blade out to her. "Do you think that did it?" The petal's slowly started to drift away from where they had struck Karas and Ultimecia.

Riyel "The Ringer" Vicaria There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

Weapon: Infiniti Edge: 6/6 Chamber Filled (), Brass Knuckles
Mood: Back in the Game {{Ooc:// }}
{Current Theme Song: Ever Kuvera}
As soon as he felt free, Ellale shooting by and doing what she could, Riyel shot forward with a ferocity that he hadn't felt in quite some time, quickly scanning and drawing from Ultimecia. I hate you... The thought could have went towards anyone. Towards anything. I hate you... He danced among the large roots of the giant tree to his right as the petals Ellale sent forth struck at Karas and Ultimecia collectively with a vicious snarl on his face. I HATE YOU. He was not doing this for anyone here. Not his friends. Not the world. Not his brother. Not Nona. Only for himself and his boy.
His approach was quick, fierce, and to his opponents' sides. The Ringer swung his Gunblade quickly as he approached, barely more than seven to eight feet by them as he pulled the second trigger of his Gunblade, every spell within the vicinity of its chamber erupting out of it as quickly as the trigger itself had been pulled. The mass of magical energy shot forth, incinerating anything in its path whether they were roots or petals as the blast aimed to quickly engulf the two magical beings before him. And even if they dodged....Riyel could come at them with anything and everything until they killed him.
That was all he could ever hope to do.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lloyd felt Nona's cura mend his most serious wounds helping considerably. He shook his head and Lloyd prepared himself ready to close the gap again when all of a sudden there was only a minor distortion and time came to a complete halt. For Lloyd, he was none the wiser still standing still as Ultimecia's arrows lined the sky ready to slay him like an animal. And then...it shattered. In a fleeting moment everything changed. As time returned, Lloyd saw the face of Ellale rushing past him. There wasn't much delay for Tae and she to unleash this power and Lloyd was in awe. Time to Say GoodbyeThe landscape erupted to life as a massive tree and cherry blossoms filled the air as reality itself seemed to shift. I was a sight to behold to be sure. "Heh...well Pretty Kitty, not bad at all!" Lloyd said pushing his thumb past his nose. He stopped his spear sticking out of a tree root nearby and saw his brother darting forward. Lloyd bent his knees taking a deep breath then bolted forward himself. Leviathan's junction erupted to life in his body, sending him forward at a greater speed than his brother. He ran past his spear taking it up in his hand then darting and swinging through the roots toward the two targets. The roots blurred past as he kept Riyel in a line of sight and made his strategy on the spot. A pincer attack! Flipping between roots climbing higher and higher until he had his targets in his sights. Lloyd emerged using his momentum to fling himself high on the opposite side of Riyel's approach. "Eat this! Waterga!" Lloyd flung the water spell to mask his second attack. Spinning her threw his spear forward once more chasing the powerful spell to catch them should they try to retreat. On the decent, Lloyd grasped another high root and swung himself to stand atop it ready for action.

---
Nona was a caged animal. Frozen in time, unable to blink, unable to scream her hate at the woman who finally acknowledged her existence enough to intervene. Darkness came to tear her apart.
Crack.
Taeria and Ellale splintered the world again, and in the broken pieces, Nona came free. The one command came: get down. She didn’t know what for, but she got down, breaking stride to hurl herself to the dirt.
Shatter.
The desolate world fell apart, and in its place was one brimming with life. Nona didn’t understand. But she was free. It was enough.
The brothers wasted no time pressing the assault. Going for Karas. Good; he was weakened. But they couldn’t ignore the sorceress. Nona, now lying underneath a tangle of roots which seemed to have sprung up to protect her, scanned the battlefield. Tree, roots, water…cover, obstacles, tools. She could work with this. And there…the witch. She looked, and she saw.
”Draw…Haste,” Nona whispered. She stole the magic from the sorceress, and felt it swirl into her. She scrambled out from underneath the roots, the light show swirling right to her to give away her position. She vanished from sight a moment later, though, skirting down into the small ravine to keep moving. She pressed her communicator into her ear.
”Ellale! Taeria! Boy Toy’s under pressure, but he’s still got some kind of barrier and he can throw out Flares like it’s nothing, and more under pressure. Draw: -ara spells, Cure. The bigger one’s fresh in the fight. Same spells, plus Haste and Slow. She skirted to a stop near where she could hear the fighting above, hunkered down next to a large root. As she said the word ‘Haste’, the spell swirled around her in a cloud of silver and green motes, amping her up. Not as good as her Triple spell, but it would help…
”She can Dispel, too,” Nona growled that part bitterly, her mind working to come up with a plan with the new variables introduced. ”Keep the pressure on Boy Toy; we need to get him out of the picture as fast as possible.”
. : : Face the end. : : .

Ultimecia Health5000/5000

Status Immune to Time Effects
Spell Dam. 350/700/1050/1750
{{OOC:// }}
The surprise was evident on Ultimecia's face as that sorceress appeared. She couldn't say she expected the girl to have escaped the compression of time. Ultimecia had seen her fall into it, so to have escaped? Well, that was a feat deserving of praise from someone so inept at magic in her eyes. What caught her attention was the young woman with the Sorceress. She recalled, near instantly, who the woman was in regards to the sorceress. A Sorceress Knight. It had been quite a while since Ultimecia had seen one. Even more surprising was the assault that followed. TO say she was disappointed in how the two manage to protect their allies would have been a light descriptor. Irritated would also have been a good one. This only became more apparent as the girl changes their surroundings. Ultimecia could not say she minded the change, after all it gave the place a more pleasing atmosphere, but the fact that an inept sorceress like the girl had done it? That was just insulting.
And then the blatant assault. Petals showered from where Ultimecia and Karas had been. They littered away into the air slowly, but still covered the area enough to make it impossible to see if the two were still among the petals. Riyel wasted no time in charging the mass of petals though. Was it clever or reckless?
The Extreme
Petals exploded away suddenly as Karas's wings snapped open. Riyel was basically on him, but Karas wasn't frowning. He had a smirk pastured on his face. "Check, Ultima." The howl resounded as Karas's wings threw him backwards, snapping out hard. To think he could actually escape Riyel's attack would have been ridiculous. At his proximity and the explosive force of the attack, Karas was definitely not doing much for himself by throwing himself back. Still, as the howl exploded into life above them, the green haze exploding outward, it almost looked like just as Riyel's attack was going to blow Karas away, it slowed. Roots and all were blown to pieces by the force of the spell, carving out a gash in the root system that had been around Karas as well as obliterated any of the petals from the tree that had accumulated during Ellale's attack. As for what happened to Lloyd's spear, which was engulfed in the mass of the spell was left to mystery.
Meanwhile, to the side, the petals that had gathered where Ultimecia had stood blasted out and caught fire. There she stood, brushing off her dress with a none too pleased expression as she eyed the girl and her knight. Perhaps she would make to kill the knight first. She could do with causing the sorceress some trauma. When she was drawn from. Ultimecia cast her gaze to the already running Nona. She would also need to be dealt with, if for nothing more than to break up the cohesiveness of the trio. "Karas, do not toy with them." She cast a glance to the side as Karas's spell dispersed, Leaving Karas standing there with a passive look. Lloyd's spear was imbeded where he had been moments before. "Not particularly playing with them." If this was meant to be a response, it was hard to say given how quiet he muttered it.
In the moment that Riyel's attack had been supposed to hit, Ultimecia had struck out with her time magic and slowed the spell component to the attack. It had given Karas time to back out before getting plowed with all of the spells at once, but even slowing time couldn't entirely allow him to escape harm. Ultimecia, taking note of his situation, motioned her hand towards the sorceress and her knight, little bolts of darkness warping into time and shooting at them from various angles all at the same time. While these attacks were weak, they came in mass. Before the two could act, she took the space around them and froze time, meaning the bolts would be long on their way by the time the two got to act. Or so was her intent anyways.
