Phia was little more than annoyed by the drones she had a perfectly good meal and opponent standing on the other side of her reach. She threw attacks at the first two, destroying them quickly enough. She couldn't seem to land one on the black orb, she was annoyed by this momentarily but ultimately Xol was in her focus. She crouched down then pushed off from the ground, speeding towards him but stopping short of crasing right into him. She brought her hands at him in a flurry of strikes at his head, neck and torso.

Xol put his arms up his gauntlets materializing allowing him to deflect the vast amount of her blows with relative ease. "Don't you just love these lovers quarrels." He laughed darkly, letting her push him back with some forceful blows before the black orb came down and exploded by her. This caused an intense concussive blast to which he hope would send her into the air. Nevertheless he released an orb of dark matter towards her in close proximity. Best case scenario, it would hit only her as she flew through the air from the blast a few moments ago. Worse case is it would explode in between them and send them both hurtling backwards with considerable damage.

Phi was indeed knocked back quite a bit. She flipped back landing hard on her toes, the steel plating of her boots dug into the ground, tearing at it the floor as she slowed to a stop. She growled as the dark matter zoomed towards her. The safe thing would have been to move but Phia had never been one for the safety of herself. Her aura lashed out at the orb, triggering it and it exploded between them. Worst case scenario indeed, Phia was tossed back and slammed into the far wall, her eyes widened a bit and the air was compleatly pressed from her lungs as she heard the unmistakable cracking and breaking of her ribs. Slowly gravity took over and her form slipped from the crater in the wall to a heap on the floor. It was several minuets before she was off the floor, spitting up blood on the floor. She straightened up with no care for her own well being and her eyes searched for Xol to see how he had faired.

Xol was flung backwards towards the opposite wall, he hit and cratered it. Slightly concussed, he waited there untill Phia started moving before climbing out of the hole. The scratches on his chest slowly sealed as a few cracks made audible the fact that his ribs were slowly being repaired inside as well.
He mouthed the words, 'I love you' and smiled. What was this accomplishing? She was obviously out of her ever loving beautiful Irish mind and he was slowly taking less and less enjoyment from beating his lover. Despite the fact a part of him still thought it was erotic as hell. Xol clicked his gauntleted claws together and his favorite setting was activated. Gravity in the room would keep increasing untill it drove Phia into the ground. He was sure having broken ribs would not help her chances of fending off the new tactic.

Phia was on her hands and knees now as the gravity weighed heavily on her body. Her lungs burned as the strain to breathe was becoming more difficult. There was a few snaps and cracks as the already broken ribs continued to move from their places, stabbing painfully into her lungs and other tissues. She drew in painful breaths and gave a pained snarl to Xol, eyes burning now. And despite all of this she was still determained to kill him. Slowly she pushed herself up, taking one deliberate step after another, growling low in her throat. She would reach him and lift a hand, burning with energy, her claws would sink into the flesh but slowly come down as she crumbled into a bit at his feet coughing and sputtering on her own blood.

Xol grit his teeth as her claws dug in and made their way down his flesh. He knew he had to stop soon, but wanted to make sure the pain sunk in and at least partly cleared her head. With another click of his gauntleted fingers, the gravity stopped and he was roughly grabbing her waist. Flipping her onto her back, Xol positioned himself so that he would have all the leverage but cause the least amount of pain. After a moments hesitation, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, hanging on for a few bittersweet moments before leaning back upright for fear of her retaliation.
"Phia! Snap out of it love... I'm not going to have your blood on my hands! Well, anymore of it." He chuckled halfhartedly piercing her eyes with his own. "I'm not going to let go untill you stop this. I don't care how long it takes..." Xol's bottom lip trembled ever so slightly as he bit into it to remind himself of the importance of the situation. He could not let emotions get the better of him.

Phia was still coughing. Her eyes held nothing but malice, there was no recognition. She felt the kiss but kept coughing once he pulled away, she drew in ragged breaths as the pressure was released from her lungs. There was a moment in her eyes where her insane demenor wavered. There was a reason why she kept her power, her aura under wraps, it was exhausting to let it wild. Her will to stay awake was slipping quickly. The growls fadded in her throat as the last of the blood slipped down her chin and she passed out.

Xol waited untill she finally passed out. "Good, now I'm going to tease you to death when you wake back up." He laughed while leaning in, softly kissing her cheek before lifting her up into his arms. They both exploded into mist and then back into being in Xol's master bedroom. He layed her down gently on the bed, removing her boots before scooting her under the covers. After adjusting her head on the pillow, Xol moved to the shadows of the room, waiting and watching.

It would be hours before she stirred, She drew in a sharp breath and winced as she sat up, clutching her head with one hand and ribs with the other. She looked around a bit, confused.
"The 'ell 'append? where-" Her eyes found Xol even in the shadows. "Wha' did you do to me?" She growled but coughs painfully wracked her body as she spoke.

Xol stepped out of the shadow and looked taken back by her comment and weak growl. "You somehow ended up in the training room, tearing the hell out of everything. I don't know what happened, but you were out of your ever loving mind mi amor. A green aura overtook your body and all you did was growl and try to kill me." He had his arms crossed across his chest and was eyeing her suspisciously. Like maybe she had come to kill him on purpose or somehow she had been brainwashed to do so. Unlikely, but still something to keep in mind. "So... I overpowered you and pinned you down untill you passed out. Put you in the bed and here we are plus a few hours. You did seem to be exerting some very powerful feelings... plus power. Never knew you were such the firecracker. We should spar again sometime. It was wonderful..."
Xol smiled, sitting down on the bed next to her and placing a hand on her thigh. "Are you okay?"

"I wha?" Phi growled, quirking a brow after she got a chance to breathe between coughing fits. She didn't remember a thing. None of it. Phi didn't know she posessed such an aura or power. The last thing she remembered was walking into the shadows from the Mansion. She started coughing violently again, pressing a hand to her mouth and pulling it away after sometime, crimson soaked her petite palm and she sighed, reaching down and pressing at her ribs, wincing every so often. "I'm sorry...'bout attack'n ye, understand I wasn' in my righ' mind...But ye won't be spar'n with me like tha'...tha' I coulda kill'd ye...."She said, as strong as Xol was, there was something about how she said it that prehaps made that statement true. Phia was capable of Killing Xol, she just rarely tapped into that capability and for good reason. She flinched when he touched her and looked to his hand then back to him. "Xol...I-I don't think tha' this can continue...there's a way to bring 'im back...." Phi withdrew from Xol, almost afraid of his reaction now. She moved towards the other edge of the bed and swung her legs over, getting up unsteadily and picking up her boots. She knew that he'd want her to leave so she started towards the shadows.

Xol just grinned, "If you say so Phia..." There were certain levels of power that Xol himself had never tapped into so it was safe to say if Phia and him ever went toe to toe with their true potentials it would be one hell of a throw down. Possible world ending, who knew.
"If what can continue... bring who back?" He was clenching his jaw, knowing the anwsers, but refusing to believe it. Such burning emotions were flowing through Xol, acidic hatred, lust, intense love to name but a fraction. Why? Why now. Why when he was happy? It made him sick. She made him sick, they all made him sick. No, it wasn't her fault. He loved her too much it just hurt... hurt so bad. Everything was black.
Xol rose with her pushing her against the wall roughly and leaning in next to her face. He lovingly placed his face against hers, she would be able to feel the heat of... tears? "Phia. I love you so much. I don't know if I can let you go... but, ...if this is how it has to be then you've made your decision and there's nothing I can do to change it. If... if... if you change your mind or ever need a place to stay... I'll be here waiting. Forever... if that's what it takes... now go."
He turned his head into her check, kissing it gently and pulling away so that she couldn't see his face.

Phia froze when he pressed her against the wall. She relaxed when she felt his face against hers, her eyes widened a bit when she felt the tears fall onto her cheek. She was surprised at that, Xol crying? She hadn't known him to be capable. The boots slipped from her hand with a loud thud as they struck the floor and her arms found their way around his neck gently. Suddenly Her tears mingled with his own. When he tried to pull back she took his face in her hands, still crying, looking him in the eyes.
"Xol....I love ye...I really do but...'e's my 'usband....an' I love 'im too...an' my children...they miss 'im too." She bit into her lower lip as it trembled and broke into sobs, burying her face in his chest. "Why couldn't I 'ave met ye soon'r?"

"I know Phia... I know. It doesn't seem it's our fate to be together. I can not explain the joy I felt in the time we spent. And that I was allowed to reveal my true feelings for you and you revealed yours to me is truly something I will hold dear to my heart forever. It's my only wish that one day we can find one another in each others arms again." He took a deep breath and ran his face across his arm to clear it of tears. It was odd, him crying as he had never done it. Phia had evoked another part of him and it made him feel more alive. Now she was leaving and with her she would take this part of him.
"You broke my heart Phia... others will pay for the pain you've caused me. Now please... go. I must find a way to make this pain go away." Xol flashed a halfhearted grin which slowly turned into a heartbreaking lower lip tremble. With one last look of intense love and intense pain, he pushed her into the shadows.

Phia was still sobbing quietly when he spoke. Her heart hurt so badly to leave him, to tell him she couldn't be with him. She reached up to touch his face for a moment.
"Xol...Please...this isn't good bye....It's just, we can't be together." She said softly, tears falling still. "I will see ye again....alot...an' pre'aps one day we can be togeth'r." Her hand fell to her side and she let herself sink into the shadows as he pushed her.
