Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xol leapt into the air and as he reached the pinnacle of his jump, two fiery black wings erupted from his back. "Wrong Lan, because there will be no next fight..."

With a flash of black mist he was gone, appearing above Lan with two orbs of Dark Matter in either gauntleted hand. He hurled one down at the giants head and dissapeared once again, this time appearing behind the giant. The second orb flatened and expanded into a beam about ten foot around before exploding outwards at Lan. "War isn't about honor, if it was then I would still be a Seraphim in Heaven..." He snarled with a flat tone of voice.

The blue energy surrounding Lan's circlet crackled violently when Xol disappeared. Instead of trying to locate Xol, which Lan learned their first fight was pretty difficult, he would defend on all sides. A shakey, almost unstable, black dome appeared around the giant and was expelled outwards, while a white, more solid, dome followed right behind it. If memory served correctly then the Dark Matter held faint hints of holy and evil energies in it...the black dome would reflect all evil or dark type magics while the white did the same with holy or light type. What ever was left after the two were taken away were more then welcome to strike Lan...he didn't care, Xol didn't matter to him.

"Who's war do you fight?"

"She says go back to hell!"

Lan's body melted in with the earth, lunging for Xol who was still lifting the earth. The giant had used this ability several times in their first fight and many atimes after that, so it did not really drain him using it so frequently. Instead of drawing the raven black scimitar he struck as Xol with his bare fist. A crackleing dark energy surrounded Lan, the chokeing smog filling the air as his fist came bareing down on Xol. Frankly Lan wasn't sure who Mother Earth was, because he followed the concept of the Brothren Earth. And nor did he really care! If Xol would not leave him be and let him kill Mastema then he would have to put the poor fighter down. Another phrase ran through his head, but he did not bother saying it this time, knowing that the first time he tried to hide a message within a proverb, the brute's brain was too simple to find it...the brute being Xol.

Xol took the punch and his head snapped to the side as he skid back into the ground a fair distance. A soft laugh escaped his lips before bursting into an all out hysterical laugh of a deranged maniac. "Wha... what was that? He... hehehe... HAAAA!!!"

He turned to face Lan, his crimson eyes glowing sadistically as the bruise on his cheek started to clear up already. "I look forward to ending you Lan... if Mastema doesn't get the pleasure first. If he does... tell you brother hello when you reach Hell." With that, he exploded into a plume of black mist and dissapeared.

(( Meh, I'm going to go for now... we'll continue this another time Lan. Later all... ))

A fight?

*Eecheb and Micha look up and over to their mother, Trilla was too enthrawlled crawling threw a small loop in a cover on the bed. The concern in Nana's voice was more forward now*

A--all right. Is it the Dojo again, or another group this time?

The silver giant was patient, and didn't rush head long into an attack. Instead he planned his attacks, careful not to run into a trap.

"A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom."

Lan paused, wondering if the machine could even fathom the understanding of what he had just said. He paused for only a moment, realizing that it really didn't matter to him. Again Lan continued with his slow walking, the bronze circlet crackling a red lightning that surrounded the material...almost as if it was drinking the energy. The giant's fist was gripped, though he still had not drew his sword yet.

Indeed. At least a part of him died back then. Now this shell seeks revenge against me it seems. Zenogais is already engaging him, and Slayer, along with Sho, are prepared to provide support. I myself will intervene if needed.

Zeno: You kiss your mother goodnight with that mouth? stare *Zeno noticed, easily, the circlet crackling with an energy similar to his*.... *He remembered the double dome that Lan had used to counter Xol's dark matter, and how this circlet had mimiced Xol's aura. The circlet obviously had significance, just what that significance was Zeno couldn't tell. Oh well.... might as well break it just to be sure..... or, better yet, take off the giants entire head. Zeno stood ready to move, having his battle data tell him that he could easily react to a move from Lan in time*
