----- The Lacus began to move as the kunai and shuriken dropped. Her hands slamming into the ground as a small wall of earth shot upwards. She stopped it at that for there was no need to make it metal. It would be a waste of chakra. Her eyes could see the metal from the dome begin to seep inside the ground, he was scattering them about again. Preparing for another wide scaled attack. Hearing his words she was almost shocked, whispering to herself. "he figured that much out..." Lacus rested her legs against the wall as the metal particles of his iron sand were clearly distinctive from the normal dirt. It would shift and move as well, causing it to stick out more. She rushed up her small dome of earth as her hands struck the top and rose, pulling out of it two blades consisting of metal, steel, with which she gripped in both hands.
She knew this had to end quickly before she became to dependent upon her other alchemic abilities. Though the destruction from the previous explosion should tire him out if she pushed him hard enough. Lacus pushed from the wall once more and began to rush towards Buraian, the swords she had gripped seemed to connect to the back of her gauntlets and magnetize. She had a plan for these blades, something that would protect her should he continue with his iron sand, hiding it within the ground. Though, just as before, when Lacus ran there came the echo of her footsteps. This time, one from in front and one from behind. What could cause such a specific noise, and to echo in such a rhythmic manner.

Buraian watched her carefully, predicting her movements and although he was a bit tired he wasn't about to show it. 'got her..' he thought as he formed a single hand seal and then seemed to drop into the ground almost as if it were water to him. After 'swimming' a while underneath it he popped up a little way away from his previous destination and pointed a hand at Lacus. 'Lightning Blast Technique.' he thought as sparks seemed to go around his hand before they shot out like a bolt of lightning. It was a continuous attack so the initial strike wasn't as bad as the damage that her system would receive if she was unable to escape it.

----- Lacus shifted her eyes as she rushed for Buraian, she didn't make an action towards the assault. There was no need to, as the lightning struck i dispersed the clone. After leaving the sand dome, Lacus had sent out her clone to fight and herself was to maneuver behind the boy. He presumptively figured this out and altered his position. Lacus rushing behind the cloud of smoke that her clone made when it dispersed. She snapped her fingers as a stream of fire ravaged across the air, snapping her opposite hand as a stream of fire raced across the ground, both rushing for Buraian.

Buraian watched uneasily as the two attacks came at him. Though his reactions were swift almost instinctive as he flipped to the right allowing the stream of fire in the air to ravage past him, while the one across the ground simply split through rock near him. "Gotcha." he said as he tossed two kunai with explosive notes at Lacus, these were only a distraction however, as the sand on the ground beneath her quickly went to grab her legs and another group went to send several poisoned spiked from the surrounding earth due to the Iron World Method.

----- It was never her intent to assault the boy directly with the flames, it was merely a set up, as she needed flame to create another element. One that required both Doton and Katon. As the lower fire ravaged through the earth cackles of lightning followed it fluently, she was about done with the troublesome metal that partook in the ground. The two elements combined, making a straight line of lava that stretched from where Lacus stood to where Buraian had once stood. As the boy had dodged, Lacus flipped upward and spread the lava, it moving with her doing simple handmotions. She could not fully control any element, but at most the element of lava jetting outward would be it of course moving. The small sand particles that dwelled within the ground began to melt, as they were separated to do such a thing. Though not all, for the lava could not spread to quickly and she only made so much.
Down the line of lava, however, it continuously began to spread as did the portion she stood on. He would have to remove his sand from the ground if he wanted it to remain usable, and even beyond that he would have to make it solid if he wanted it to hurt her, and it in a solid state would do very little good against her. Her feet now stood on the bare ground along a crack. The crack where the fire stormed through the ground and the lava had first been. So it was scorched land, land that had made the sand under it completely useless, and would soon do towards the rest of the field, but Lacus was not simply going to wait this time, it was time to act. Rushing forward as her body lowered, allowing the kunai to go over her, the boy seemed keen on distractions, but distractions wasted time. Giving her time to create the lava that ceased the activity of lava that went for her feet, hopefully a mistake that would not be performed twice.
The iron spikes were met with more lava, Lacus slamming her hands onto the ground in her run as the spreading lava shot up in a wall, this was merely to block sight, as she didn't create a lot of lava, the spikes merely ripped through. If he could control metal he may have an advanced control of direction and therefore may still aim for her, so she used this as a way to dodge. Watching as the lava lowered, Lacus would be back into her full sprint, rushing towards Buraian once more as she drug one hand into the ground as it gave way. Mounds of dirt scooped into the air as Lacus came through, scopes of lightning, and then Lacus once more as she burst through the dire cloud wielding two metal blades in both of her hands. She was tired of wasting chakra and time on a boy who fought like this. She would instead use a pressure tactic to force him to his limits. As well, with her lava ever so slowly creeping outwards, the metal would soon become a mere figment of her imagination.

Buraian watched carefully as suddenly he noticed the lava melting his sand. He seemed split in his activity as iron particles began ripping from the ground, though his attacks missed they seemed to hound her with what little time he could spare. 'She's good...I'm running out of time.' he thought as he quickly brought iron below his feet and flew high into the air on the disk. Allowing her to rush into nothing but where his sand was gathering as it was where her lava was not for she could end up killing herself in such a way. "Sorry Lacus, but I've got places to be..." he stated a bit of exhaustion showing on his face as he flew off hoping she would not chase him, for in truth he was running low on chakra and his injuries were becoming quite evident. So he only hoped she would be willing to chase him as he drove himself closer to the mist village.

----- "I think Not!" Lacus screeched as she halted, the blades began to spin madly as she rushed passed where Buraian stood, the swirling swords parting the sand and brushing it aside from the force of their spin. She continued running forward as she let loose a high pitched whistle through the air. Two large hawks swooped down upon Buraian, though they were large they would be about 5 feet in height, so not larger then the average person. She was not letting him get away. These two hawks were here chimeras, and they would stall Buraian as a third came to her, hoisting her up as she flew off.
As all of her chimeras were, these were also mixed with snakes so that they held poisonous venom. Their talons were in fact snake fangs, as were the tips of each feather, so any part of them could poison the boy. The third hawk took to the air as the two that first showed swooped down on Buraian, her coming from the back of him and the duo coming from the front.

Buraian watched carefully as the two hawks swooped down at him he quickly launched spikes up diverting their paths. "I can't die here..." he stated as once again he formed several hand seals and an iron coffin broke from his last few vials of iron sand and the coffin collapsed to the ground. 'She will break through here eventually...' he thought as he could hear the clawing from the chimera's and he was running out of options. At first he wasn't sure what he was going to do but then he quickly sank into the ground and swam as far as he could coming out in a nearby forest. 'Now to make her think I died' he thought as he formed a hand seal and the iron sand crushed in on itself much like he had used iron burial. If she opened the coffin there would be a lightning clone very brutally torn apart as if every bone of it was crushed and barely recognizable but obviously Buraian.

Pakkun darted through the outskirts of the Mist, darting past Buraian and Lacus heading straight for the Rock.

----- As the spikes came the birds arched their wings and glided to the side to give themselves safety. It was obvious he was lacking as of now, performing such a simple jutsu. he either truly wanted to escape or was running out of options.
Lacus watched as the boy covered himself in Iron Sand and fall to the ground. It seemed still at first, but then crushed in on itself. Lacus didn't bother to check there, is he was dead he was dead, nothing to be done about it. But this boy was from Mist, and just like a shinobi she had fought before from Mist. They could and would fake their deaths in an attempt to escape. Screeeeecccchhh A deafening caw echoed from one of the large hawk's as it caught sight of a shinobi moving through the forest, at least it was as it came above ground. It stayed still now, trying to hide itself. As if it could from the keen eyes of a hawk. Lacus nodded as the two Hawks went soaring for him again, the third hawk which carried Lacus following closely behind.

Buraian watched carefully as he heard the screech. 'looks like i'm running out of options.' he thought as he quickly covered his wrists and ankles in dirt before forming a simply hand seal. Then when the hawks struck down with their talon's both landed in the dirt. Though it had become solid from the stone bracer's technique and their talons could not pierce the stone. "Now....both of you need to disappear." he said as he smashed his right wrist into a tree causing the hawk to go flying through the tree while he smashed the other into the ground near him and gripped it's throat preventing the hawk's talons and peak from striking him as he choked it to death. It's life was slowly draining and if Lacus wanted to save it she would have to act fast. 'Now how to deal with big bird...' he thought as his free hand drifted into his shinobi pouch and pulled out 2 small pellets.

----- Lacus made not a motion to save her Hawk, the boy had already sealed his fate when he began to choke the bird. His technique was formidable but he had only covered his wrists, his hands were bare. The hawk let loose another screech as it's feathers ruffled and scratched the boy about his hand, not very deep scratches but it was enough to poison him. Soon he would be paralyzed completely, and she would have to fly him back to Mist to be treated. "Such a sad sad boy...."

Buraian watched as the hawk died in his hands. "Don't think I don't know of the poison." he said as he ate one of the pellets. It had been an anti-paralysis pellet and although it wasn't designed for her specific poison it would slow it's progress. "Now let's finish this fight." he stated as he focused chakra into his feet before darting high into the air up to Lacus' height. "Static Needle Technique." he stated as he formed a hand seal and suddenly electric needles formed all over his body and then launched out. Getting hit by one would cause the damaged area to become numb for a short time, which with the high number and short distance between the two Buraian was betting on a high hit ratio so he could finish the fight quickly, because if he didn't her poison would finish him.

----- Lacus leaned back as the hawk she was on showed its underbelly and accepted the barrage of needles as they came. She could have dodged, simply by rising high as the boy did, but she did not. What she did do though, as the boy sent his attack. Directly after leaning backwards she snapped with both hands, sending a flame arcing around the needles and towards Buraian. She rolled the bird over as it began to flap once more, taking the hit to it's stomach the bird felt quite queasy and it's flying pattern sporadic. It could still fly, however, and that was all that mattered. Given time it would get used to the numb feeling and ignore it. "Persistent, are you not?..." She spoke while bouncing up and down from the sporadic Hawk. It had floated back some to greaten the distance between the two.
