Seph raised his eyebrow before pushing the blue-tinted shades farther up the bridge of his nose. He stood again and pocketed his hands, a steady trail of smoke wisping away. He exhaled, shooting smoke from his nostrils before turning his head to look at Anrui over his shoulder.
"Did you need me for something else?"

It's good to see old faces though.))

Walking back from the woodlands, Reeve hears the familiar sounds of battle. Running in their direction, he finds Neko and Lina in combat. However, unsure if it is just a training exercise or not, he holds his ground.
"Neko!"

((Great to see you, Nyl! I was beginning to lose hope. XD))
-=Neko ignored Reeve, focusing more on Lina. The eerie chakra shot down the 'staff' as the fibers wrapped tightly around Lina, trying to squeeze her tight enough to halt her breathing, just for a bit, though.
The more important battle would be taking place in her mind. There, a battle of wills would be fought. On one side, was Lina's Constitution, her own willpower, while on the other side, a dark green, shapeless shadow, with what seemed to be an entire age of wisdom behind it. This must've been what was controlling Neko, but it's focus would be a bit hindered trying to control two strong wills at once=-
((Also, sorreh about the delay X.x))

The 'young' woman felt a presance attempting to enter her mind. She kept chanting even though she was using the last of her bodies air. It didn't matter how much it crushed her if she could finish her chant.
She knew anyone normal would need to worry about something attempting to control their mind. Her case however was somewhat unique. Having a copies body made her an extremely unique case. All that made her her was never in her own head. She meerely was a puppet given a soul so to speak. What she considered her mind may have been it's own, but it was meerly a shadow conpared to what waited for this presance. It would find her will mixed in with this other's mind. One far older then her own. One that had seen stars from their birth to fall, seen the ages pass by, all that was the same, all that changed. This person's mind had known forced solitude for countless cycles and finally something would have a chance to peek his intrest.

-=The shadow would push for a fraction of a moment. It knew it would be bested in this contest, so it chose the shorter route. It attempted to flood Lina's body with it's own Chakra, attempting to take direct control of her body, leaving her mind and spirit to their own devices. It was at this point that Neko got a foothold, and began another tug-of-wills of his own=-

Lina felt strange, noticing the chakara flow and attempted to compensate. She focused, attempting to bleed out the altered chakara. She began using the slight release from neko's distraction to breath in deeply and continue chanting. The kunai she had placed in a circle around neko moments before her attempted capture. They began to glow as she began using the chakara attempting to control her to feed the technique.

-=Neko's hand began to shake. Softly at first, but as seconds ticked by, it began to shake more violently. With a brilliant bright blue flash of Chakra, Neko let go of the staff, and leapt away, several feet into the forest. He braced himself against a tree as he regained his composure and balance, dark blue chakra leaking from his skin. One of the tags from the kunai had attached itself to Neko's left leg in the sudden dash, but he was too out of it to notice.
Wit one less person under it's control, the staff devoted all it's power to dominating Lina. the process would be confusing, even to the point were one might not know which way was up, so not noticing that Neko had moved anywhere wouldn't be far fetched at all.=-

Lina found herself having more of a struggle. Her entire bodies chakara network was filling with something forign to her. She sensed the staff and attempted to control her arm. Slowly reaching for it, while at the same time she kept chanting, not realising the tag from one of the Kunai was missing. She kept chanting away, trying to keep the staff above the circle. She kept chanting, attempting a chakara sealing. 'I know If I read that book from neko's library right this would store chakara for drawing on in later fights, but maybe this would stop it' she thought, still resisting. Knowing Reeve had been watching her and neko's fight, hoping him or someone would find her once the spell finished depleting nearly all chakara from anything within a few feet of the circle. Although at the last few moments before the chakara exhaustion began to knock her out she started to wonder if this might have an effect unlike what she wanted.

Reeve calls impatiently again.
"Neko, what is going on here?"
His hand claps to his sword hilt- all is not well, obviously. However, Reeve is unsure of how to proceed.
"Lina?"

-=Once the incantation is finished, for sake of a better term, all Hell breaks loose. It worked like Lina had planned it, to a degree. the staff was drained of everything but it's life essence. This caused the staff to return to it's notmal state, a simple wooden jo. the recoil flung it into the dirt in the center of the ring of kunai, and the battle for control of Lina's body halted. The one tag on Neko's bare calf had an adverse effect, however.
It did what it was supposed to do at first, but it reacted with the series of Seals Neko had already covered his body with, the tribalesque tattoos he normally kept hidden. Neko fell to his hands and knees as Lina's seal broke the seals on Neko's body, unleashing his torrential chakra.
A whirlwind of energy surrounded the Shinobi, ripping trees and soil up from the Earth about ten feet around Neko. The bluish-white energy shot high into the sky, twisting the few clouds in turn with the motion of the energy. Bolts of pure chakra shot out in all directions as Neko's skin began to split open from the pressure. In as much time as it took to unleash a bloodcurdling scream, the experience was over, and Neko lay on the ground, his clothes tattered beyond recognition, his body bloody and heaving as he struggled to breathe, bloodshot eyes wide and staring into the distance, the broken tattoos glowing a deep, dark blue as they held onto his life-chakra. There was a serious burn where the tag had been, the meat of his calf exposed, the wound mostly charred shut=-
((Been a while since he's been hurt bad. Gotta keep the flow going. XD))

Lina struggled to stand up, all but her lifeforce completely drained. Minor wounds opened up and her body acted strange yet again. Her claws extended, her teeth turned more fang like and her tail and ears became more noticable as her hair turned from it's usual silver to a more normal brown. Her yellow eyes changing, demonic slits appearing. This was followed by her falling flat on her face, out like a light, not enough chakara to supress the more animal like traits of this form.

Reeve reaches for his medic bag, knowing full well he doesn't have what he needs to care for the both of them.
"Good God, this is exactly what we need right now..."
He pulls his squawkbox from his pocket, summoning Sarah almost as reliably as any jutsu. The two hold a fast, nigh-indecipherable, Pikey-like coversation and then the female soldier bends to pick up Lina, as Reeve retrieves his sensei. Almost an obligitory reaction rather than a thought-out decision, Reeve carries Neko to the infirmary, Sarah close behind.

-=Neko grimaces as reeve hoists him up and carries him. His breaths are short and forced, but he's still conscious, to some degree. he looks around as he is carried away, glancing briefly back in the direction of the staff=-
