 'Gaertim!' Kelissa gave him a sharp slap in the face, to bring him back to his senses.  Asphyxia carefully stood to her feet again. She lunged at the Guardian that had attacked Gaertim, pinning him to the floor. The Guardian clone punched Asphyxia off her, and seeing how successful the real Guardian's trick was, took on her appearance.

 You know, it's the funniest thing. One minute I'm with MK and Leucosia... oh. wait... ... Sephira didn't make it. Why am I standing around?

'No...Sephira's dead...?' Kelissa gasped, looking crestfallen. 'Oh ******** hell, not this s**t again!' the real Asphyxia grumbled, as she grappled with her "twin".  Paris ripped the rapier out of his shoulder, and threw it, blade first. It careened through the air, and struck the fake Paris in the back of the skull. It fully penetrated his head, and he sank down to the floor, dead.  'Paris!' Evza yelped, not knowing which one it was who had just been killed. 'Relax, that was the phoney one.'

Leu and MK are already fighting on the floor above us. We should make haste to regroup. *He looked over to the pair of Asphyxia, trying to determine which was real* *Meanwhile, MK and Leucosia were fighting side by side, making a bloodbath of anyone present in the armory. Their combined rage was taking the room by storm, and they neared the north staircase in their battle. The sounds of weapons clanging carried through, and a man with a spear through his chest fell down the North stair.*~KMK

'Evza, you take the others, and regroup with MK and Leucosia. I will stay there with Gaertim and try and sort out...this problem,' Kelissa ordered, looking at the two Asphyxias. Making sure that Jervaid, Paris and Gallaine were paying attention, Evza hurried along, over to the northern stairwell. Asphyxia and Asphyxia were both battling as hard as possible, scratching, slapping, kicking and biting whatever part of the other they could get a hold of. One kicked the other in the chest, forcing her backwards, and advanced, hands balled up into fists, pummelling her with all the strength that could be mustered. The beaten one sidestepped the last punch, and grabbed a hold of the attacker's arm, twisting it around her back. She threw the other Asphyxia into a nearby wall, and heard a loud "oof!" as her body connected with it. The other Asphyxia pressed a hand against the wall she had been so unceremoniously hurled into, and threw her head back. She caught the woman straight in the face and pulled her arm free. Backing off, she tried to make her escape, when the other Asphyxia shoved her forwards again. Instead of slamming into the wall for a second time, she stuck a foot out at the last second and flipped up high over her "twin's" head, before landing behind her.

*When Evza would enter, she'd note that there was blood covering near every surface in the armory, and the souls of the slain were encircling MK's blade. Leucosia was standing there now, trying to just be invisible, though the blood of her enemies that seemed to hang in midair gave her away. MK was locked in with 3 more guardians who had come down from the light artillery floor. One was stood at the ready, a crossbow in hand, looking for an opening. The other two were each fighting with a sword and a spear, trying to get even the smallest of cuts on MK. He fared all too well against them though, and one after another they took fatal blows by a thrust to the heart, a slice clear through the torso, and then a slash through the skull in that order.*~KMK

'I'd say we arrived just in time to help, but...you seem to be doing pretty well by yourself,' Evza said, looking horrified at the amount of blood that had been spilt.

'Kelissa and Gaertim are trying to figure out which of the two Asphyxias fighting in the northern stairwell is the real one. The Guardian we found is an illusionist; he's given us a fair bit of trouble,' Evza explained.

We had an illusionist too, it seems. He killed Sephira. *MK made the rest of the way to the stair, and descended, leaving Leucosia standing there, unmoving*~KMK

 Gallaine bowed her head at the news, looking saddened by the death of one of their own. She moved over to Leucosia, and rested a hand on the woman's shoulder.  'When we left, they were fighting. I think I could tell the difference between them, and if I'm right, then the fake Asphyxia's got the upper hand,' Jervaid added, as he followed MK.

*He came down and looked on the the duplicate women, looking back and forth between them*You see, there's an easy way to deal with an illusion... All they can mimic really is appearance. Phyx! What did I put in your hair the last time you ran out of the cafeteria? ~KMK

'Wha?' the real Asphyxia was distracted from the battle by MK's question. 'Food!' As soon as she answered, the duplicate punched in the face, and knocked her clean over. Grabbing a hold of a dropped halberd, she raised it over Asphyxia's head, and allowed the blade to drop. With a shriek, Asphyxia managed to roll out of the way before it hit her, and climbed to her feet. She reached around the duplicate, placed her hands over the other woman's, and pulled the blade of the weapon to the duplicate's throat.

*MK moved in and brought his own blade to the back of the neck of the fake Asphyxia, having determined who was who by his musing question*Time for your last trick. *With the real Phyx holding one blade steady and MK with his own, the two forced them inward to each other, severing the spinal cord of the duplicate and shearing full through like a giant pair of flesh eating scissors. Blood spurted out the neckhole as the body resumed its normal and now dead form, and the soul screamed out and into MK's blade.*~KMK

'Jesus Christ, am I glad you picked the right one,' Asphyxia gasped, dropping her blade, and wiping off some of the blood that had splattered onto her.
