Vincent Silverdust Vince held out his hands, first he summon the fire into his hand it wasn't perfect and round like Kestrals but it would work. The dark energy wasn't so easy to do, he summon it into he other hand it spun like Kestrals, but was shaped like a tornado. "You will learn to concentrate your manipulation as you train with your elements. It is easy to summon an element from yourself and simply let it out in a furious blast, but to control it, manipulate it, bend it, and finally master it, all of these will take more time and care to perform. I've been doing this for years, and it comes natural. It will for you as well, just give it time."
Kestral noticed the severe amount of strain that Vincent was going through to keep the energy cores active.
"Oh, sorry. Alright now, take your hands and try to push the two energies together, long enough for them to fuse. This will be difficult, since Dark and Fire energies are not naturally compatible, you will find them pushing back from each other with great force."
Kestral slammed his two energies together, grunting and straining slightly to keep them balanced. There was a flash of energy and colors and when Kestral separated his hands, a perfect fireball of pure shadows was roaring vivaciously in between his palms.

Takehitsu walked upon the small training area where a massive crater was in the back of it. Thus he saw Kestral and someone else. They both seemed to be using the same powers only Kestral was much more powerful. Takehitsu would walk with silence untill he was a specified distance away. (ten feet) He then watched silently. He wondered when he would be noticed but it was fine both of them where not facing him and he was a silent man trained to kill the unknowing. Takehitsu was glad to see his friend again. Their last fight was Takehitsu's but just barely. Takehitsu had almost lost his life in that one. He was more readied now. Regardless he was not there for a fight... not yet.

Sax slumped onto a bench near the back of the Cruxis cathedral. The priest hadn't given him anything. No job offers, no leads, prospectives. It was most irritating, but perhaps he had gotten his hopes too high about the Cruxis. The priest apparantly wasn't the one in charge of hiring mercenaries. All the man had said to him was "I am sorry, my son. You are a good man, but I cannot help you. Blessings on you, and may you find what you seek."
Most irritating. It sounded a lot like the last time he'd asked a girl out. "You're a really cool guy, but..."
Definitely irritating.
Of course, that didn't rule out the possibility of a job with the Cruxis. The buck most certainly did not stop with the priest. There had to be another authority he could talk to somewhere. The only questions were where they were and how he could find them.
Sax leaned back on the pew. He hoped they could find him, because he was stumped.

Bloodangel_112 Stoping before the clone he turned his head back twords Baldr and let out a low growl, "Friendly and yet he points a gun at me and you imply im dan... " The blood that was standing in the middle of the group swayed before a marble fell to the ground....followed by a few hundred more as they spread across the ground leaving the cloak to collapse to the ground, empty.
"gerous " Because he used his cloak and the marbles as a tool, a shirtless man with blood red hair and black eyes hued with silver irises was standing at the other entrance behind Baldr, "I dont care for your attitude...and my presence seems to irritate something you all have planed. Nothing against you, but im compelled to interfere. " Turning to face the man that was now behind him, the demon's eyes would go wide at the sight he saw. Even after all of the years there was no mistaking the man that stood before him. A somewhat crazed laugh would escape from the demon as he took a few steps back towards Sera. As Baldr walked back his clone would begin to walk forward. Once they were side by side the clone would begin to shift. His hair would grow out longer and turn a crimson red, as his iris' turned an eerie blood red color. The clothing would also change along with the face and hair of the clone. Instead of tight, black leather clothing the clone was now in a pair of ragged brown work boots, a pair of faded brown pants, a sleeveless shirt with a torn and worn blue vest.
The clone would only look at Blood with a somewhat sinister grin on his face as a monk's spade appeared in it's hands. Without warning the clone would charge at Blood, full speed. The spade blade of the weapon was dragging along the ground slowly spreading steel within the ground while the crescent moon blade was aimed right at Blood. The clone's eyes would go wide as it began to speak in a sinister and somewhat crazy voice. "I hope you haven't gotten rusty after so long, my old friend!"
Baldr would only look back at Sera and motion for him to hurry and leave. I know this man, take your leave with Aiden quickly! I can hold him off long enough for the two of you to get out of here, and I will follow behind you shortly after. There is no salvation for this man, but retribution must wait until another day when we don't have to worry about Aiden and his safety! He wasn't sure if Sera could read his mind, or if he could only project his voice into someones mind but he was hoping that Sera would get his message and make haste on getting Aiden out of here before Blood started to fight back too seriously.

Snip. Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.Snip.
Quickly and silently, the muzzled .33 mm released eleven hastily aimed shots at Blood.
"HOLD ON!" Sera barked to Aiden, hoping that Blood was sufficiently distracted enough by the bullets that Sera could make a clean get away.Although Sera could not read minds, he did nod his head towards Baldr, understanding what Baldr's intent. Gripping Aiden by the nape of his neck, Sera leaped into the air and wall-jumped from building to building. Right before jumping ontop of the building itself, Sera took one quick shot down and aimed for Blood's head, emptying the clip.
Landing on the roof and still holding onto Aiden, Sera instinctively jumped from building top to building top, towards the southwestern district of the town. I can feel the presence of a Salvaratoy temple there.
Upon arriving at the temple, Sera marched right in and pushed his way pass a wandering mercenary that had set himself down to rest. Before the priest could start his bit, Sera looked him right in the eyes and said three, distinct, sharp words,
"I seek salvation."
The priest's manor instantly changed, and without questioning Sera's motives, responded, "In Cruxis, there are no sinners, only people who have yet to have their second chance. You are safe here, my son."
"Thank you Nii-San." Bowing in respect, Sera addressed the man by his proper rank and then turned to the mercenary.
"You! Sellsword! I will quadruple your most wildest pay if you help me protect this child. At all costs, no harm must befall upon him." Sera released Aiden from his grip, knowing that he probably had given the child whiplash by now. Ironic, that I must protect what I wish to destroy...
In his most serene voice, Sere appealed to Aiden, trying to get him to understand the danger he was in,
"Child, go hide in the back. And do not come out, until I come and get you. No matter what, ok? R
Reloading, Sera gestured for the Nii-San to follow the child and for the rest of the temple to hid as well, as Sera took position behind the pews and trained his gun at the entrance to the Temple.
In Baldr's head, Sera's voice hissed,
Be quick with him. Follow my energy signature, only you should be able to feel it as I have left it. We shall leave once you are here.

Vince took the the darkness and fire then he tried to push them together, at first they wouldn't go together all they wanted to do is push apart. Vince pushed them together with an extremist force, they almost went together but right before they went together the two element flew around each other and flew up in the air and dissipated.

As the man in front of him transformed into a face of old, Blood's irises glowed a brighter silver as he went ridged with confusion. But as the spade appeared it was final, he knew exactly who this was and grinned as well, "WE HAVE SOMETHING TO FINISH YOU AND I!!"
With that the few bullets that were sadly aimed at Blood shot off into odd directions, no where near him as his tattoo's glowed a bright silver and a static feeling hung in the air. Before one of the clones could reach him a shock wave pulsated from Blood 360 degrees up and down, 7 feet around from his body. Shattering the stone walls and street into bits that rained down into a newly formed hole where Blood used to be standing, "Well well...How long has it been? and I never thought I would find you in this hell hole...though you really are hard headed, so who would have known where you were heading." Now standing on the opposite side of the hole, he wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, still grinning.

Sax had watched as the armed, not-quite ethereal newcomer spoke to the priest in hurried, urgent tones from his place on a bench. It hadn't seemed like anything he'd be interested in.
Then the stranger had promised him a good deal of money to defend the kid he'd been carrying on his back.
"Sound's good to me." Sax said, pushing himself upright and twirling his glaive.
The priest took the child and hid him in a room behind the altar. Sax took up a position just in front of the altar's raised platform, playing for maximum reach with his polearm, then pulled out his trusty handgun. It didn't fire fast, and it was no sharpshooter's weapon, but it dealt out damage. The stranger stood facing the doorway at the bottom of the dias. Sax lined up his gun over the stranger's head and waited for something horrible to come through the door.

"Damn... Alright, try again. Take your time Vincent. It is not easy."
Kestral released his dark fire and summoned the two basic elements once again. A sign for Vincent to do the same.
Kestral then closed his eyes slightly, looking as far to the left as his eyes would allow him without turning his head or making any sudden noticeable movement.
"I know that energy signature... It's been a long time since I felt it... but it is familiar... Could it be?"
He tried to focus harder, finally he realized who it was, one of the few people who had survived him in his Silver Dragon form.
"Takehitsu..."

Vince summoned the fire and dark energy, they almost were perfect now. He pushed slowly on the element and they pushed apart, He tryed again and they went together. They danced and spinning around and then turned into a dark burning flame.
"Kestral i did it", Vince said existed.

Takehitsu smiled noting his name whispered in Kestrels breath. He only had an energy basis as it was a lingering silver energy from their fight. Takehitsu has been studying it but it wasn't his prime concern at the moment. Eventually he planned to remove it. He preffered to be undetected. His attention was drawn however to Vincent who he did not know. He was not at alarm but being Takehitsu he was constantly at the ready, "Nice to know you're still alive to fight." He said to Kestral.

" Now standing on the opposite side of the hole, he wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, still grinning. As the tattoo on Blood's chest began to glow the clone would stop running and slide to a halt just out side of the shock wave. Upon hearing what Blood had to say Baldr would only let out a small laugh. "It has been far to long my friend, but it's not like you are much different. Always popping up at the worst possible time and getting in the way of a good plan. Anyway it looks like fate has brought us face to face as enemies this day. What shall you do? Stand and fight an old friend or turn and walk away?" Baldr truly didn't want to face Blood in a fight, especially if he decided to play rain maker again. He knew that Blood wasn't going to leave without getting some type of explanation out of him, but that didn't matter to him. He was on a mission, one that he couldn't afford to lose and he wasn't going to let anyone stand in his way.
"I already know the answer to my question, so why don't you skip the formalities and just ask me what your going to ask so we can either go our separate ways or get down to business." Baldr got Sera's message and just shook his head. There was no way Blood was going to let him get away so easily this time, not after so many years. He knew he needed to get to the church, but doing so would be far too suicidal of a move since he had to get past Blood first. The demon had quite a few ideas in mind, but he wasn't sure how well any of them were going to work against someone he didn't have as much experience against as he'd like. If it were Dai or Kai standing in his way he wouldn't have half as much trouble since he knew their tactics and styles far better than he did Bloods.

Blood debated it with himself before speaking up, "You called me rusty you old fart...Depending on how you fair in the next few minuts depends if I help you or not. Atleast till my interest in your plans fade..." He tilted his head to the side for a couple of seconds as if talking to something else.
A little side tracked...a marble so happened to be sitting ontop of the rafters of the church, waiting, watching as everyone took up defensive positions and was sending this pertinent information straight back to Blood...
"Interesting..." With that he rolled his shoulders before spreading his hands outward, palms up and stared straight at Baldr...small specks flickered in his hands before they drew out the energy in the air and grew to fist sized balls of a dark like substance.

At the sight of the dark substance a small 'Tch' would escape his lips. "Well I see you haven't gotten any more creative. And who are you calling old fart? Your the relic here, not me." With that said Baldr would seem to disappear in a blur as the clone jumped up and over the crater in front of it.
The crescent moon blade of the weapon would shoot off of the weapon like a bat out of hell and fly at Bloods right forearm. As the clone neared Blood Baldr's voice would begin to echo from it. "If you want to know what my true plans are, head to Hell and seek out Lady Kikyo. She knows better than anyone what my plans are."
Baldr knew far better than to go face to face with Blood and didn't plan on doing so as long as he could make a clone to distract him until he could get to the church.

With the wise crack of old relic ringing in his ears Blood did a whirlwind motion as the crescent moon ripped through the top most layers of skin on his shoulder. On the motion back around he lost sight of one of the clones and took that as baldr taking him seriously by himself, "Hell? I've already been thrown out once....and I've still got the ******** scars from it" After facing the now single clone he couldnt help but grin sadisticly and smashed the two orbs together. As soon as they collided black electricity shot out, stricking the walls, floor, and anything that stupidly got in its way. With no sound or even a vibration, whatever it touched just dissapeared.
