Welcome to Gaia! ::

Time for the brawl!


As Kira's slash would come down, he would notice the blade of light forming off of Blights body, if anything Kira knew damage was gonna get done, but there were steps to each plan, and Kira's was to get Lucas to a safe zone first before beating Blight to a pulp. But first he had to avoid getting slashed from the neck and to do so would rotate his wrist again to bring the hilt of the blade up as he back stepped using his blade as a shield, but something would happen to the energy, that Blights blades he emited, the energy would actually get absorbed into the blade on contact as the noticeable 'Clang' sound could be heard.

The center of the blade on both sides had a angelic wing like glyph etched from the guard to the tip of the sword, and the energy would make 10% f the glyph begin to glow. Again Kira would react to the sweeping energy of corruption as it too would travel along the blade ultimately fueling the weapons power, the glyph would reach 20% glowing white if a color had to be chosen. Now Kira would go on the offense! as soon as the wave met the blade Kira would roar towards Blight as a torrent of blue flames would travel behind Blight so his escape paths were limited but he was forced to deal with Arc, but that's only part of of his plans.

Some of the flames that traveled behind Blight moved towards Lucas catching him on fire, but Kira's flames only hurt those he considered enemies if Blight knew that then Kira figured he knew something was not gonna go according to plan, but until then he'd do what he had too.

Once the flames reached Lucas, Kira would rotate his left hand with 2 fingers extended in a circle and then after coming full circle would point them to the sky, and the flames around Lucas would lift him up towards Sabriel in a hurry to try and get him out of harms way, rather Blight knew this or not, this was a channeled ability, and Kira was left defenseless for this to work. Hopefully Arc could keep the darkness busy.

"How about that."
Blight smiled, his blade of energy first disrupted by Arc's Gokin. To think that David's enchantment would come to play here of all times. Yes, the short blade would be sucked into Arc's Gokin but Blight kept smiling as his second swipe sent the wave of energy outwards...but it would appear that Kira's sword would absorb that as well!

"That must have felt good."
Blight stepped back, firmly planting his right foot into the ground as Arc advanced. The ground before Blight would erupt, large chunks of earth dislodging and jettisoning the ground to attack both his opponent and perhaps knock Arc and Kira's attacks kilter. A stream of livid light shot upwards, it's tail thinning like a comet. Granted once the flames came close to Blight they would dance around him before lacing his body, in turn fueling his own attack.

"We really are comrades. I take your energy now you take mine. You didn't take much though...but how long will it be until you feel it? I wonder."
Unlike Chaos energy which broke down elements, Corruption energy did just as the name implied. It was like a leech- a parasite that fed off of other energy, corrupting it until there was nothing left. It consumed what it could while aiming to destroy what was leftover. Lucas had this energy sealed for quite some time and in turn it became sentient as it bonded to his soul. Although in small doses, corruptive energy could be discharged and purged.

"Otherwise you may end up like me. Or perhaps like them."
From above, the blast of livid light shot down over Sabriel and Luca, the streak of corrupted energy arcing down to diminish Kira's flames and ground the Fairy and her "luggage". At this point Blight was playing "keep away" with his host.
[Charge 1]

The encompassing clouds were also turning grayer but there was still no sign of Rogziel. From time to time, Grant's voice could be heard calling out to him but to no avail. For someone so big, Grants was having trouble finding him. He knew this was his domain but as far as he knew, Rogziel couldn't disappear. What was worse was that the clouds were a part of Rogziel's spiritual aura. It was useless to try and sense his energy since it sourced from everywhere!
"Damn. Maybe I should go back..."

Time for the brawl!


Kira would keep his focus above for Sabriel as he took a few steps back from Blight for alittle more room and time to focus to assist his friend, but it wouldn't last for long as the ground under him was starting to come alive, and Kira would go into action as he would backstep then jump on one of the rocks then into the sky to help Sabriel. Freedom would have a faint glow of the corruption energy around it, but it would be quickly transmuted back into the glyph wence it tried to get to the wolf easier said then done as the holy blade had the power to subdue any form of magic or energy, and store it onto the glyph.

Looking towards Sabriel Kira could see the light begin to shine towards his friends, and he could do little but grit his teeth as his sword began to glow as he turned his back on them for a moment, as he looked behind him and twisting his body. "Boost!" The sword would glow as the glyph would drain away and Kira would roar of to the distance, the flames would be stronger then before as he used the shot gun style to launch himself through the air to try to help his friend.

Realizing he was still a ways off he would extend his left hand as the flames from Lucas' body formed a chain that Kira used to pull himself towards Sabriel quickly catching up. "Look out!" Grabing Sabriel by the ankles as gently as he could he would try to push her under him as he used himself as a shield for the bolt of corrupting energy that was aimed for Sabriel and Lucas. Kira would brace himself as best he could, but the energy was enough to where as he lost grip of his sword and fell down towards the ground he would land on his back, and finally landing he would roll over and be face first on the ground. Freedom would stab its self into the ground near by, and nothing but dark energy could be seen around his body as he laid in his destroyed ground, he just hoped it was enough to cover his friends.

For the moment Kira would struggle to move from where he stood, but he would at least be clawing at the ground, attempting to stand again, hopefully Arc would buy him the time needed.

"Mmmm suit yourself, Arc."
Blight stepped back from the growing pool of Gohkin and the static air around Arc. His glance shifted to Kira and Sabriel for a moment, noting the dark aura around the Vanguard. The air was already tense but it seemed that the situation was taking a more serious turn.

"Let's wrap this up then."
Blight reached his hands out to the ground, wriggling his fingers as he rolled his eyes back. The wind around him had started to sweep in with a feral hiss. It was as if the air was reacting to his presence! Then again the whole area was starting to shift from Rogziel's presence to Blight's! "Did you know? This is a pure place. Rogziel's domain is untainted as is he."

The clouds had turned grey as the ground was becoming cracked and pale. Suddenly a huge spike in power erupted from Blight. Rogziel's domain was being corrupted!

"Aaagh!!!!"
The sound of metal struck against metal rang out and a sickening crack followed after. General Grants had emerged from the dark clouds, his body being flung backwards and into sight. He'd tumble into the ground in between Sabriel, Kira, and Arc. His right arm clearly dislocated and his blade sparking with electricity. His body writhed as he spit up blood. In that moment Rogziel would emerge behind Blight, the six lights of his eyes now glowing with a menacing red hue. His large frame was blackening along with the rest of the canyon.

"This place will be your grave."

Why was this happening? Things were going from bad to worse! The Guardian's power was being used for Blight's dark intentions. Rogziel himself did not seem to have control of his domain any longer. As the clouds rumbled, Lucas would groan and tense his body.

"Damn...I felt that one."
The fallen King had regained consciousness, perhaps in response to the radical shift in atmosphere. He'd see Sabriel and Kira over him, one of which was resonating with dark energy. His concern rose as he then saw Arc squaring off with Blight. "No! NO!"
Lucas took his left glove off to look at the ring that should have sealed his Corruption. The golden ring was shaped like a serpent yet there was a crack through it near the ruby red eye. There were many questions that went through Lucas' head but the foremost thought was to get everyone away from Blight.

[Blight's Charge: MAX!]

The true war begins

Kira would look up as he saw Arc and Blight square off, and then over towards Sabriel as she had gotten lucas away, but not at the cost of some damage, no thanks to him, and he'd do naught but grit his teeth as he did naught but stared. I was one thing that he had gotten his friend hurt, but more so it was his fault, and the dark aura became more intense as he grit his teeth, and his sights would shift towards Grants reappearing, this triggered something deep down, that was frightening yet was long over due. "Mad..." Kira would stagger for a moment as he stood and ignored the potion's from Sabriel for the time being, Kira was intending on having Lucas and herself use them and in the mean time the dark aura raged further as the azure flames roared from his feet, up his torso then around his entire body.

Clinching his fists together he would walk towards his sword as he stood next to it, his eye's watching Arc fall back for a moment as Grants had taken a beating and Arc changed into a defensive stance. "It's your..." Kira would grip Freedom's handle as the flames erupted around him and the corruption would get absorbed into the holy blade yet again, as Kira's body would no longer have any trace on his body or soul. Drawing the holy blade with the reverse grip again from the ground the blade would sing as Kira's flames spread further.

Drawing the holy blade the glyph would shine nearly 50% of the way through as Kira stood next to arc his eye's set on Blight then Rogziel. As Arc chanted Kira would plant his right foot behind him as well as his sword and shifted his body to the right then Kira's eye's would shift towards the hulking angel known as Rogziel as his grip tightened on his sword as the blade would light aflame. "Gonna need a vacation after this, know any hot spots in hell to relax in?" Kira would of course be talking to Arc with a grin and then crack his neck, it would be a long brawl it'd seem and the brawler was always ready. "So, you don't by chance have a plan to deal with these two do ya" Kira would stand ready for battle as he waited to see what'd happen next.

"Ungh. Rogziel appeared and attacked me out of nowhere. Even if I could have seen my surroundings I don't think I'd take a hit any better. My arm..."
Grants winced as Sabriel came to look over him. He could feel her magic lace over his skin and into his body. His arm was broken as it had taken the blunt of Rogziel's attack. Aside from the burns on his skin, his muscles were damaged from the electric shock. "I let my guard down."

The General closed his eyes and rest his head in the Fairy's lap.

Lucas stood to his feet and furrowed his brow as he looked to Blight and then Rogziel. The ring must have been damaged recently. It would explain why he was going out of his way to obtain more power and why he had tried to deceive Kikyo. Even at the end Lucas had tried to lead his comrades astray. But now Lucas was thinking with clarity and he wouldn't hesitate to assist his friends.

"Arc, your Chaos energy is the only thing that can stop this Corruption. Kira...if you can absorb the spiritual energy around us we can stifle Blight's power. Just be careful...Your dark aura is resonating."

Lucas looked to Sabriel who was attending to General Grants. It was often that he saw Sabriel in the thick of battle but he was grateful to have her by his side. Especially here and now.

"Second Skin."
The Nephilim would harness his powers to support his allies. A dim lit, thin veil of energy would glow over Kira and Arc's bodies. This [second skin] had several passive properties- all of them beneficial. The light itself would act as a sixth sense and let his two comrades react a little faster. They wouldn't have to rely on their eyes to see around them. That included their blind spots! The veil of energy would be able to take at least one energy based attack while heat based attacks would be nullified. The last thing that it could do was that it could be a catalyst for the two fighters. Where as Blight's energy corrupted and consumed, Lucas would use his [second skin] to let others amplify and buffer their attacks.

As for Sabriel and Grants, instead of being enveloped by Lucas' energy a thin, translucent barrier would form around them both. He wouldn't risk breaking Sabriel's concentration and he didn't wish to compromise her magic. However he did want to compromise the link that Blight was establishing with Rogziel. The last time he fought Rogziel the Guardian was being controlled by a dark spell. Although he had gone berserk, Lucas, Wyndom, and Raven had managed to subdue the Celestial.

"......"
Frowning, Blight scowled at Lucas. Did the fallen King really think he could fight against his own corruption? Blight knew everything about him. Every secret, every dream, every punch he had thrown. Everything! "You know, Lucas .I remember clearly when you came looking for me. All those years ago, remember? You craved power. You were obsessed with it. How does it feel to be trapped with what you've created? Do you think I'm a monster? You created me after all. You've used my powers at your leisure but you could never be honest with yourself. But we're past talking now, aren't we? Yes...I know. We settle things a different way don't we?"

Without warning, Blight clenched his right fist and thrust it forward. A fist of livid energy would form and attempt to crash into Arc. This fist was large enough that it could hold any of them in its palm. The attack if it hit would rocket Arc backwards rather violently as it shot forward to hit him like a speeding train.

Ar the same time Rogziel would manifest his hammer and swing it in a horizontal arc. A stream of lightning would streak ahead to whip Arc, Kira, and Lucas in the chest.

[Blights Charge: MAX!!]

The true war begins

Hearing Lucas' voice was something that would inspire him to stand firm as he would do nothing else but grin. There was a reason why Kira took order's from his friend even though he was quite stubborn more then most, and towards Blight's comment Kira couldn't help but chime in. "Heh if you know Lucas so well, then you know the danger your in when he finds his resolve. Yeah he lacks self confidence more often then not, and he was never one to rush into a fight but..."

The flames around Kira's body would ignite more as he would bring the sword in front of him and take a couple steps back as he stood behind Arc and would stab the mighty blade into the ground as he would then hold it with two hands. "That's what we're for! Consume the darkness, return it to light! Freedom!" The sword would hum as Kira would focus intently on Blight, and the spiritual energies that were floating around corrupting the area and even a small amount of Blight himself, the corruption would slowly be forming around Kira himself, as the dark aura around Kira would slowly grow more intense, and Kira's grin would widen, as he started slowly growing in size. "Keep them off me for now, i'll seal the corruption away."

Course Sealing it into something was another matter, and Kira would only think of one thing for the time being, but for now, thanks to Lucas' second skin, Kira would roar as his flames took the form of a smaller dragon, using it's wing's to shield the skyra. Due to the boon Kira could focus alittle easier with constructing his shapes, but for now until all the corruption would get contained, he had to hope Arc could buy the time needed. 'Just a little time, i've nver had to use Twilight Rave, but with this amount of corruption...ah well whatever.' Time was something the young skyra needed, could it be done for the wolf to strengthen Freedom to be able to banish the darkness, and the sword would sing as the glyph would shine almost brighter then before.
