Kobei had picked Eva up, and into her arms. She quickly bound a sack of belongings together, enough to where the both of them could survive. She crept up to Kaiden, fast asleep, and kissed his forehead, pulling her hood over her head. Eva started to cry, her tiny hands grasping out for her brother as Kobei left the Dojo that night. Kaiden would find himself alone, and abandoned the next day, to find a note attached to his shirt.
Kobei did not abandon him because she did not need him, no, it was to try and save Eva from corruption. Kaiden she knew had the brightest of spirits, and he would survive better on his own. With KB dead, and possibly recovering somewhere else, there was chance father and son would meet up again at Kobei's abscence.
The note read as follows:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I've left my child alone at this housing, please make sure to take care of him until he recognizes someone familiar. I've left him in the care of a Cyborg by the name of Tegral. I understand that he is untamed, but I have trust in my son, he is more than you think.
Take care of him, and teach him well.
-Kobei Imari

Mugiri sighed and closed his book. He just couldn't get into it with all the fighting that was going on downstairs. He set the book on a desk in his room, and cast a warp spell. As soon as he landed safely outside the front door, he strolled away from all the racket.

Though the efforts were doubled, the plant's corruption was quite deep. The magic had grown into the plant, and, become innate. Instead of relying on a continual source to fuel it, the plant had taken on the unnatural regeneration as it's own, assimilating it so to speak. The pods were a basic function of the plant, and they would indeed be burnt away by any fire that Draeken attempted to use on them.
However, to destroy something within the core of the building, one would have to remove each and every wall. Even down into the earth below the foundation, the plant crept. If only the Dojo members hadn't been so busy, hadn't neglected the place. Indeed, Phia's freedom was much more important than a mere building, an ideal that would soon be put to the test. The eviction would prove once and for all that the members would have to actually fight for their home, and no amount of cheap magic would save them from their own devices. It wasn't that the plant was all-powerful, or that some godly being had sent it, it was merely the fact that the people let the problem build up, and even the smallest of problems would always grow into a quite massive one.
Of course, given that the plant had no real mind, the psychic attacks did very little to it. They merely roused it further. So far however aside from growing, the plant hadn't done anything malicious. It of course had the capacity to attack the Dojo members, but decided not to. Kaiden, Kobei, anyone who entered would be safe from the plant. The plant was a means to an end, and not the force that caused the ruckus.

Getting slightly annoyed at the plants persistance, Draeken began channeling the flames into and along every vine, having the fire flow deeper and deeper towards the main body of the plant. Or at least he hoped the flames would find their way there and eradicate it. Pumping fire into each and every vine at a quick rate took up a good deal of effort, but he was easily able to maintain that effort and continue to keep any vines from himself. Despite the plants regeneration abilities, Draeken would force the bright blue flames onward.

D's entire pattern of attack was slightly...off. To burn out the plant, one would essentially be burning the Dojo down to it's foundation, and then some. He'd be killing anyone inside, by setting the place flame and having each floor collapse. the smoke would be seen for miles, for the Dojo was wood after all. Still, the plant was regenerating and fighting the flames. The natural wetness of the plant made it hard to set aflame, and thus the intensity of the flame burned away all the fuel before it could go much further. D would have to rely entirely on his own power to force the flames onwards.
Even so, the armored suit turned it's head towards D. He'd become too much of an annoyance to ignore. Such a pest would have to be dealt with, now. The visored head nodded, and in that instant the shadows shifted. From them, dropped the black-haied humanoid that mostly anyone could recognise as the ever-annoying Heritage. All the worst traits of KB and his dragonkind in one tight little package.
"That's enough D. Listen to your wife, take your family and leave. You're in no shape to argue." He hissed, his leathery wings flexing in anticipation. Heritage wasn't the least bit injured, in fact, he was at his prime. His clawed hands twitched slightly, as he levelled his gaze on D. The one before him was foolish, that was the only explanation.

Draeken smiled and sighed, tilting his head backwards, looking over his shoulder at an odd angle. His eyes stared at Heritage in what most people would guess was insanity. "You'll never win." was all he said before standing up, though his efforts continued, if in a lesser fashion. What likely wouldnt be seen was the inverted and well masked weaves of magic that were interlacing with every bit of the dojo. The fact that it was inverted, would make the magic undectable to any, even himself. It could not be seen or even sensed. The only only way he was able to interlace it with every bit of the Dojo was because he had had to memorize its every feature in order to place the original regeneration spell on the place.
After having stared at Heritage for perhaps two minutes, Draeken ceased his visible magics as well as the hidden ones. Blowing a kiss then to Heritage, he stepped backwards into a patch of shadows and disappeared. He next would appear outside close to Phia and Ayiana, the dark of the night providing ample shadow for quick movement. "We're leaving."

"Delicious." Heritage muttered, his fanged grin being the only visible sign that he'd even seen D's little gesture. Such a creature as D seemed to have their fine points, if even only humor. Glancing about, Heritage sighed and patted one of the beams of the Dojo. "Well then. Let's get to work shall we?" He asked the air, as he moved to the armored body. Once there, heritage began his casting. He had an extensive spell to place upon the Dojo, as the plant healed. After all, he needed to be sure that the Dojo was theirs, that nothing would cause it to crumble and break. Heritage would essentially be rebuilding the Dojo completely, given time.

Phia nodded and wasnt told twice before she took off for the mansion. Her wings were a little soar and stiff, but she had only been alive for a few hours, that was to be expected.
Ayiana however, flew to the ground momentarily to grab CSK then followed after her mother, catching up quickly and easily. it wouldnt be long before they reached their other home.

Draeken took one last look at the Dojo and closed his eyes, a single tear falling from his right eye. "Forgive me for what I am about to do." Turning to go, he snapped his fingers then caught up to Phia and Ayiana, dragging them into the shadows with him so as to travel farther away faster.
Inside and out, the Dojo would begin to glow. This would only last perhaps thirty seconds, however. What Draeken had done was strip the final remnants of his original regeneration spell from the building and replaced it with a spell that would turn the entire Dojo into a giant bomb. Down to the atomic level, this spell was woven. What the spell did, basically, was make the entire Dojo into a nuke. Not something grand scale like the weapons of mass destruction seen in some parts of this vast world, but on a smaller scale. Capable of destroying everything within a two mile radius, but still strong enough to completely obliterate the Dojo. Already, the regeneration spell that was on the Dojo itself was gone, but in the case that the plant survived, there would be no dojo to recreate.
"If anyone remains in there, I am sorry, but our enemies are right. It is our own ignorance."

"Mmm..Finnaly. I've longed for this moment... to have destroyed this place twice and seen it rise overnight. Now, it will truly come to an end." Heritage mumbled, speaking of KB's memories more than his own. Wrapping an arm around K's armored body, he could feel the soul within it quiver in fright. The idea that so many innocents would be destroyed in the blast was appealing. Not only did the Dojo know ignorance, it seemed they weren't strangers to selfishness either. "Don't fear little one. The void is a peaceful place." Heritage reassured the child, as the plant squirmed in defiance of the power that would seek to end it. The armored body of K wouldn't be able to withstand the blast, and it seemed Heritage wasn't in a hurry to flee.

Kaiden was asleep inside of the Dojo during this entire ordeal. Kobei had left him there to be found. Fortunately, his body would be kept safe in the orb emitted around his body, produced by the pendant he wore around his tiny neck. Of course, after what massive damage would ensue, the pendant would crack through the middle, and be useless for quite some time.

::Albert was not in much condition to be protecting himself from an attack and a dagger was certainly not the optimal weapon to use against a polearm. Although he would manage to deflect the blade's attack away from him directly the staff would still collide with his skull throwing him back to the ground. He would hit the ground exhaling slowly. The dagger in his hand was still held loosely however he was clearly not going to fight anymore::

Relinth's head turned toward the Dojo. His senses were keen enough to sense exactly what was going on. He would quickly rush over to Albert, and kick the dagger from his hand. Then he dropped down to a knee grabbing the elder vampire with both hands around the neck picking him up off the ground by his head. He would growl lightly focusing his energy. Both of their bodies would begin to lose their colors becoming greyscale slowly.
"You still owe me some answers..."

Tyr- ::Tyrsais was entering the area right as the explosion went off. He would cover himself with his wings, and allow the runes to take their effect. Though he would be thrown a good distance back even though he was out of range of the actual explosion. When he landed to look up he saw no sign of either Relinth, or Albert::
What the hell? NO!!!

*Mastema would bypass the forest and come walking, almost too casually, towards the dojo grounds. However, he kept his distance as not to get himself unduly injured in the blast. No doubt some might notice his appearance in the area*
