*Nana's head turned again as she was back handed, this hadn't been her day, her night, or her next day. By now the mark on her neck was very dark and had spread quite a distance, her right eyelid was still closed since it had been cut, blood had started to amass there again after the gauze was tossed away. When her head turned, the tears from her left eye spilt into the air then back down onto her skin. Mastema was there, but the way the table was facing, the drugs, Nana's head turned away, she couldn't yet see him and she was beinging to weign again. But, she had been right. Mastema did come for her, just as she'd said, just as she'd believed, and for that all of what Xol had said about him, all that doubt he tried to instill, it was all gone or would be as soon as Nana could see Mastema. At some point she could have gotten out, but after her robe was removed, so too was the teleportation device, her only way out. Because of the strike to Nana's face again, another arc travels over her shoulders to feet. This was the first time Mastema had probably seen the sight with his own eyes aswell, though what it meant was uncertain, but it seemed Nana knew what it meant she was trying to repress it even if she had no control over it, but the drugs weren't helping that at all. She could very well pass out again any minute, then all bets were off*

Xol immediately turned to the sound of the tube cracking and readied himself for whatever was about to happen. To his surprise, instead of Thanatos leaping out at him, it was Mastema.
A beam of red energy was flung at him to which he countered with by raising up his left gauntlet, his right was dug in around Nana's neck holding him in place as the beam hit his gauntlet and pulled him slightly in that direction.
"Computer, release locks on table one." As soon as he had uttered the last word, the locks opened and Nana fell limpy into his waiting gauntlet around her neck.
"Remember Mastema, this will happen again..." With a cocky smirk, Xol tossed Nana at Mastema. Before she reached her husbands arms, Xol dissolved into a plume of mist and appeared at Mastema's side. A thick blade had appeared on the top of his gauntlet, connected ( ala Ed from FMA ) to the top to which he viciously swung at Mastema's midsection. A crimson ball of dark matter was beginning to form in his other gauntlet.
"See you soon Nana dear..." It Mastema didn't catch Nana and immediately leave with her the he would have an extremely viotile explosion engulfing himself and his wife soon.

*Nana when flung, would remain rather limp in the air, though now her neck was whipped back instead of to the side. Just pain on top of pain. Another set of arcs crest over her while in mid flight. Did it really matter if Mastema caught her? He could just fix her up once back home afterall, plus she was still rather out of it due to the drug Xol had created for her. Her eyes were both closed, she might have already passed out again*

*Mastema smirked. After taking the deep slash to his gut, Mastema caught Nana in his arms and cradled her as gently as a combatant could in mid flight. Mastema landed on the ground, one foot on Nana''s robe* Happen again? Oh, Solaris I assure you much bigger things lie in wait. You should have followed your own advice about me using Thanatos.... you may have found my hiding place then..... but thank you for facilitating my break in. *The few arcs from Nana''s body weren''t too much for Mastema to stand. Oddly, it seemed that no one in Mastema''s near two years of being an enemy to the BC realized that physical attacks left no discernible effect on Mastema. The gut wound would heal over almost instantly. Mastema had yet to vanish*.......

"You think I would hesitate to kill us all Mastema? As long as you're dead I'm fine with ending my own life... you should know that by now." A sickening sneer crept over Xol's lips as he let his forming crimson orb dissipate with a powerful gust of wind. Many more beakers and other objects in the backgrouns fell to the ground, clattering and smashing.
"Computer... activate self-destruct timer. One minute starting now."
"Order confirmed, activating self-destruct timer. One minute and counting."
"Your move..."

*By now Nana was damaged enough by Xol, that once caught he had activated something in her. That something was something she had told Xol about durring questioning, a defensive power that enabled her safety until the information she held could be retrived. Nana's head was half cradled on one of Mastema's arms as they were both by her robe. It still had the teleportation device, aswell as some of Nana's personal affects inside and out. Nana's left eye slowly start to open, it was glazed with drugs but something else aswell. After a moment her head turns toward Xol, she stares at him without feeling then finally speaks, Nana didn't seem her usual self*
.....threat assesment, undertaken. One agressive target confirmed. Defensive and offensive operations now in place.
*Nana would sit up under her own power, injured or not, then slowly try to stand until she was upright and facing Xol. Her right arm outstreches toward Xol, and a icey blue light would begin to appear, it looked like she was.... going to attack? Mastema, Thanatos, Phia, no one else really seemed to be paid attention to at the moment, just Xol, and that same energy that chipped his gauntlet was building*

*Mastema chuckled at Xol's response and glanced to Phi's body* I see..... How the mighty have fallen. Once again... you have failed to observe the situation fully. *When Nana began to speak, Mastema went silent, but showed no surprise. When she attempted to stand, Mastema slowly lets her feet to the ground and merely smirks at Xol. This scene might help Xol to believe that Nana was indeed as "violent" as Mastema*

Xol wasn't stupid enough to assume that this was Nana acting up on her own accord. It was obviously some sort of preprogrammed self defense program which had finally intiated. He figured it wouldn't matter if he talked to her as she probably didn't any control over herself at the moment.
"You'll find out the truth one day Nana. It's too bad I won't be around to see it though. Than too... pity..."
He stood in a defensive stance, his mist encircling his body and forming a sort of symbiote armor aroung his body. It meshed well with his gauntlets and his body seemed to form into the suit, muscles protruding out as if his clothes had dissolved under the new material.
Fourty-five seconds remained on the countdown.

*Nana probably couldn't hear Xol, but that only meant she wouldn't be able to hear anyone else either including Mastema. The light in her hand grew blindingly bright and larger, it was an undefined shape but now three times the size it was a few moments ago. If it was as strong as the energy that had chipped at Xol's gauntlet, only now stronger then he might take a good hit of damage. The energy appeared to be holy in nature, and to Xol's demon side this was definitly goingto hurt. A light sphere like shape also appeared to be projected out from Nana, like a shield of some sort. It seemed like she was dead serious, and her injuries were probably only getting worse with this*

*Mastema remained firm. He planned to wait until the right moment to teleport out. As of the moment, Than didn't seem to be anywhere in the room*

Xol stood defiantely in front of Nana. He knew her attack couldn't kill him. One of the main reasons being that he had a null property in his body. Neither Holy or Demonic was dominant in his body, this reason being why Demonic and Holy attacks never hurt him. Now, given she pushed a significant amount of energy behind the attack, then perhaps she might do some damage. However, what was the significance of the armor now covering her body? What bearing would it have?
"Remember Nana... please remember what I've said to you. Don't make what I've done a waste." This message was projected directly into her mind. Like he had figured before, spoken word would probably not affect her and telepathic probably wouldn't either. It was worth a try though.
30 seconds remained on the countdown.

*Xol would probably feel a strong pain in his head after sending his telepathic message. Nana was strong when it came to mental projection, and the protection of her own thoughts. In this strange new "mode" of being, his attemps to talk to her mentally were seen as an attack, since he was targeted as an agressive being. Right after the mental message, Nana closes her hand on the energy and it spikes out, speeding forward toward Xol, then splitting up to strike at him from more than one side*

*Mastema could pick up on the telepathy being directed at Nana, but he knew it was useless. Turning his attention from Xol's under-fire self, Mastema looked to Phi's rejuvination tank* Hmm..... * a metal groan would be heard as Mastema's telekinesis began to tear the tank from its spot*

He shook off the pain in his head and focused on Nana's attack coming at him. For now Phia would just have to go along with Mastema if she wanted to live through the oncomming blast. Anyway, he was sure that D would come to her aide once he knew Mastema had his hands on her.
"So foolish Nana. You find me a threat and your husband is stealing Phia right under your nose. To do what? Undoubtably for more experiments... more pain, more suffering to be caused and yet you turn a blind eye becuause I am the bigger threat. Do your worst..."
His aura exploded to life around his body, burning an intense crimson color with black and sky blue streaks of energy coursing around. Amazingly it was on par with his Fallen forms output, could this be his true form? Xol simply chuckled and made himself a larger target by spreading out his arms and pretty much assuring that her attack would hit.
Fifteen seconds remained in the countdown.
