Welcome to Gaia! ::

*takes the feint and blocks low, but not low enough to innterupt the stab at the floor*

Errghh!!

*bits of armor and flesh blast off him and the blue light erupts from the floor*

Azrael!

*The sword moves, mostly on it's own, towards TJ's midsection, then up to a shoulder if it hits*

*Forge's third eye blazes with fire and the blue light ceases*

Damn. This is gonna hurt. Shadow said even as he tried to dive out of the orb but found his speed hampered by his wounds. As the air began to press in on him Shadow knew he would be a long time healing from this if he survived at all. He collapsed to his knees hoping that by being closer to the floor he could reduce the effect of the orb.

Shadow felt the pressure increase and as it did tendrils of red began to creep into his golden eyes. He would hold out for as long as possible in this form, but he refused to die here. Besides he'd found that Xol couldn't block what he didn't see or expect. He would do everything he could to survive now. As the pressure forced his body even further down his elbow landed on the hilt of his dropped katana and an idea formed.

* as he flys threw the air he catches Talomes eyes and gives her a shamed look to her as he sudenly hits the wall and falls to the flore* I wont... go do down ....* he strugles to get up but falls back down when he feals the pain of his broken right arm* that ... easely * he forces him self up to his knees and forms a sword in his left hand*

** not knowing it it was sparing or not she stands and faces the creepy horned man and stares at him. She steps one foot back and places her hands before her. She stares even harder at the horned man and then waves of erratic energy flow from her and begin to weaves thought and feelings into his mind as the arena begins to change an manipulate. The ground before them become hot and painful to the touch, and the smell of sulfurs fills the noses of all who are aound, the sounds of bubbling magma and smoldering rocks as the hiss and bubble. The sight of blueich skies can only barly be seen throught the thick and choking smoke. The opponent brag appears to be no where in sight as you feel your self beeing peged and hit again and again out of nowhere.** breg hurry and finish this, this can take a lot out of me... i shall explain later...

Ignore

Xol manages to turn his body enough so that Waker's blade slashes down his side instead of into his gut. "Well, well...good job. You managed to land a blow on me. That ends now." He growled.

He attempted to push Breg into the wall again, this time with much more force. With that done he dashed in at Shadow, leaving a misty after-image in his wake and thrust a knee towards his face as he kneeled down. He then unsheathed the Infinity from his back and jumped out of the crushing sphere, sending a wave of dark energy at Shadow as the orb exploded around him hopefully temporarily blinding and deafening him.

As he landed Xol unsheathed the Infinity as his side and dashed in at Waker. He powered up both blade, to which their respective flames grew and exploded brighter. He rapidly stabbed towards Wakers gut and sliced at his shoulder with the free blade. "I'm down playing around with you all..." He roared, jumping back and sliding the blades into a X. Xol then released an immense X of dark matter at Waker, it's black form etched with blazing red lighting, cracking the ground as it flew at him.

When he landed again the womans attack took hold oh him. He sneered at her and dissapeared into a plume of black mist. "Untill we meet again..." Said his eery voice before dissolving entirely. ((EDIT- And yes...pleasure pummeling you Shadow ^_^ ))

GAH!!

*TJ feels some muscles and nerves cut before he pulls away from the blade before losing his arm. TJ turns and stumbles. He screams again when the blue fire instead burns a large gash in TJ's back instead of his chest. TJ struggles to turn around. He puts all his force into a horizontal strike at Forge's two main eyes*
