Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the beam shot out, it broke right through the newly erected barrier. However, a heap of power shot up through the walls and sliced the dark beam at its entrance point, causing it to crumble and fade away, a portion of it sizzling against the light of the barrier. Deep inside the manor, Fefga was giving it all she had. She had nearly released all her powers, and was striving to win against the borrowed power of the dark god. Her body convulsed, and spiritual pressure shot out from it, causing a wall to crack, and one of the stairs to crumble. One of the torches fell from the walls, and was instantly doused as it hit the small waterway, against the wall. On the outside of the mansion, it was more than just a spiritual pressure. Several beams of light shot out from the walls and launched toward Mika- or rather, her staff.

When the black orbs began to shoot out towards the manor, the magical walls began to shoot out it's own orbs of light, colliding into the dark ones, taking them out. Yet even with the defending light orbs, many of the dark orbs still got passed. A moment before the dark orbs crashed, power surged into the magical barrier, strengthening it briefly, causing the dark orbs to sizzle and fade away upon impact. Still, there were many orbs, and eventually the extra force behind the barrier was forced to release. The remaining dark orbs crashed into the barrier, making various holes and cracks.

But Fefga wasn't done yet. Suddenly, a large force of light shot over the entire manor, and raced into the sky. The holes and cracks made in the barrier were mended. A large number of light beams swung out from the barrier and lunged at Mika and the heroes. Then, smaller light orbs released from the barrier and hung in the air, suspended. They then formed into sharp scythe-like blades and whirled at the manor's trespassers. More and more blades emerged from the barrier, and whirled into action as well. It was almost impossible to move. This was the peak of Fefga's power. She could only hope it was enough.

A pair of sunglasses were at times useful. Not only did they make you look cool, they would be absolutely perfect for a spectacular yet deadly laser show such as this.

Sadly, Rhys had none, and opted to turn away from the spectacle at hand, holding his head in his hands. All this magical energy was starting to make his head ache... where on Earth where they both getting all this power!?

"Oooh... HIT THE DECK!"

He grabbed Amelia suddenly and pulled her to the ground with him as the Light Beam Armada passed overhead. One beam neatly singed a few orange hairs on his head into nonexistence, but none came any lower than that.

He closed his eyes and just lay on the ground, hugging Amelia mostly because he sure as hell did NOT want to see any more of this "Star Wars" business.

With the creation this new abomination, the beams of light diverted from attacking the heroes and rushed at the monster, trying to hold it down, or push it back; something! But it was too strong and shattered the beams with ease. The scythe blades of light then whirled around and shot right into the monster. It wailed, but did not waver. The scythes did practically nothing.

The monster kept approaching closer and closer to the barrier, fully capable up decimating it. It seemed like there was nothing left that could be one. But, there was one last thing. The light that soared high into the sky suddenly was drawn back in. An immense spiritual pressure was then build up, and a huge spirit creature of light emerged from the barrier. It looked at the monster approaching and met it head on. Fefga had put part of her very self into the spirit creature of light. It was her last gamble. It was all or nothing. She had to end it... She had to... but her power was waining. She gave it one last burst of power, and directed the spirit creature to push back the monster. Whether she won or not, was up to fate.

The power..... It was too powerful. Too tremendous. Too much to bear. With the power of ancient magic battled against another, it made the ground shook so much.

Fearing of the power ahead, her horse neighed and tried to get away. Isadora held a firm grip as she tried to get her horse to settle. As much as the battle was too powerful for her to join in, it would take more than that to make the paladin turned tail and run. As a knight, it was her duty to protect not only the people, but also the country too. And running away from a fierce battle would not do.

Gripping hard on the rein, Isadora raced her horse to the open area. Her sword was still in her hand firmly. Once she was out of the forest, she stopped immediately. Fear and shock crawled up on her spine. Her face paled from what she saw.

Two enormous creatures. Both light and dark. Towering over the manor as both creatures headed on each other. Fear if the power may overwhelmed her strength, the paladin pulled her shield from her back and wore it in case the power may burst and hit her. She prayed to St. Elimine that whichever creature was on their side would win.

The monster of darkness had begun clawing away at the barrier. Suddenly, the light creature had begun to fight it. The darkness monster turned, glared, and then let out a gigantic roar, emanating through the very ground. The darkness monster lunged at the light monster. The two collided, battling it out for what seemed like forever.

It became clear to the audience of this fight that the weaker monster was that of the light. The darkness monster forced the light monster back, Causing it to stumble. The crowd had to scatter to avoid being crushed.

The Darkness monster steered the light monster away from the unconscious Mika, into the forest so that it tumbled backwards, crushing the trees beneath it. It roared again and fell on top of it purposefully, ripping and biting at it.

Melethia opened her eyes a bit. She was a little surprised when she saw Shento stroking the side of her face. "Weren't you the one who shot me with an arrow just a moment ago?" she asked
