She took a similar approach to the barrier, but insted of using a clone she used a being made out of her energy to dig her way through, her physical form, if successful would find it's self on the otherside.

*The streets were oddly vacant; not even any guard drones to await their entry. There were a few powers present, none out of the normal. The ground, was oddly warm, though. Even upon entry the heat radiating could be felt*
*D would have about 3 seconds to take in the said information as well as Ayiana. In an almost instantaneous rupture, the mines placed underneath the pavement would trigger and detonate simultaneously. Each mine had been about one foot square and placed at even intervals around the estimated point of arrival. All in all, there were several dozen in a relatively compact area. Though not amazingly strong individually, their combined force was intended to all but obliterate whoever appeared in that area. Nearly an entire block of the citadel would be vaporized as a result of the blast*
Proto: *Because the blast had been much more localized than the barrier attacks, the tremor was a much more powerful one. The entire tower felt like it had taken a small but powerful direct hit even in the shockwave of the blast. Proto had shaken and ducked down closer to the ground to help keep his balance*
Fenton: ._.,, *Still close to Nana, Fenton could feel the tremor* Mew~~~~

The clone jumped into the air just before the mines went off, but the explosion still sent him up rather high. It took a moment for him to steady his flight before he was able to hover in the air, glaring at the main tower of the Citadel.
Draeken, still on the outside, grinned as he watched the scene unfold within. The trap was sprung. Now to see if his own would bring in a kill. As he grinned, the clone began moving at a high speed towards the tower.

*Both Trilla and Eecheb would jump when the more powerful tremor occured, and Trilla would yelp lightly. Nana would look up to the door to the room, then to the bathroom and finally Micha. In her mind Nana must have been wondering about it all. Unable to see the attack, unable to do much of anything at the moment, Nana wasn't helpless but as things were she could be all that helpful. The yelp from the bathroom was a concern, but nothing had fallen or broke so the children were likely fine, reguardless Nana would inquire*
=.=
Are you alright, you two?
Trilla: .__., | Trilla's ok.
Eecheb: o.o; | I'm ok too.
--.--
Ah, thank goodness.
=__=
Proto, are you alright too?

Ayiana's wings appeared as she launched herself from the ground, through the smoke and flying debris, she held up an arm to shield herself from it. The rock and pieces of building flying everywhere was making it difficult to see and messing up her flight plan, she barely missed losing a leg to the mines. Once stable she commenced to flying behind the clone, she was going to follow him for now thinking he might know where Phia was.

*The two had been more than fortunate to have escaped the first defense without harm. D's clone wouldn't get the smooth sailing he had hoped for. Before he could get more than few dozen meters towards the somewhat distant tower, a wave of golden energy would fly up in D's path, intended to get his attention and stop his progress without hitting him. Once that warning was given, hopefully causing D to stop and see what had created it, Than would quickly rise between D and the tower. All seven wings sprouted, Than remained airborne and made it obvious that his purpose was to stop D's approach, without word*........ *The only emotion that could be seen on Thans' face was one of anger and subtle question*.....
Proto: *Proto slowly got up, in case there was another tremor, but something even more odd happened when he began to rise. Proto looked around, hearing Nana, but did not see the master bedroom. Instead, he was somewhere else, a destroyed city long since ravaged by time. The destruction was old and it somehow felt.... familiar. When Proto looked down at his own arms, he was confused to find that his right arm seemed to be made of flesh and bone, not the familiar metal and mechanical bindings of his design. All of this occurred within a period of just under four seconds, and as suddenly as it had come, it vanished. Proto once again found himself in his mechanical body, in the confines of the master bedroom. In utmost confusion, Proto made a few visual surveys of the room to confirm his location, and then nodded in affirmation to Nana that he was all right*..........

Hnn, that's good.
*Nana was relieved that Proto was alright, aswell as the children. She'd let out a light sigh, and keep her eyes closed. Next to her, it was hard to say if Micha was asleep at all, what with all the tremors and noise. By now even Trilla and Eecheb had re-emerged from the bathroom, and had wandered to a wall just outside the bathroom, they were sitting on the carpet now. So far, other attacks hadn't been as well known, there hadn't really been any shaking or loud noises as there was now. The loud clap of thunder that was heard when D, or at least when his clone entered the citadel would be familiar to some, but not all, Micha more or less as far as the children were concerned. Fenton wouldn't be forgotten, Nana would glance at the small creature once she opened her eyes again*

::Tyrsais was still in his lair. As of yet he hadn't been looking at his monitors to be concerned with the attack. It was clear that he was aware something was going on it would be hard to miss. However he stayed focused for the moment, and thought about his answer for a time::
Alright Zio I need a high velocity projectile, accurate over a fair range, and a high rate of fire... An assault rifle would be best I think... One you can have for me ASAP...

Zio: *Zio would interpret Tyr's verbal requests as best it could and formulate what it believed to be the most effective design. It sounded like an assault rifle with a souped up range would do best* Very well. The appropriate weapon will be designed and constructed when the state of attack ends. At present, my functions are being directed to defending the citadel. *Tyr would be able to note the things Zio was talking about. There were two large powers, intruders, in the citadel and outside there were more poised to attack*
Fenton: *Fenton was still where he had been before, but Nana would be able to tell the thing was skittish about the last tremor. It was easier for him to get shaken than most others* ._.,,
*Tegral's new enjoyment would probably be short lived. If he had active scanners still working, he would no doubt detect several dozen unknown targets coming in from a high altitude, far above the top of the barrier. The units were all the same, several dozen 1B standard attack drones each mounted on a flight capable 5B model. Each 1B was armed with a mid to long range rifle and a missle pod on each shoulder, each pod housing four small, impact missles. The 5Bs were armed with SMGs and longer range missles. Within moments of detecting the retaliation party, multiple missles would be launched from the 5Bs and 1Bs alike, along with bombardments of rifle fire. So far the SMGs weren't being used. The missles were aimed to hit anything that was powering up its weapons*

*If Fenton felt anymore threatened by the tremors, the small creature was more than welcome to get closer to the head of the bed and possibly hide if it wished, by Nana or it could also duck under the sheets by Micha. Eecheb frowned a bit, he hated having to wait, and with Trilla latched onto one of his arms he was a little uncomfortable, then again so was she. Enemies of Mastema were inside of the barrier, and they could so some serious damage. D and Truinthil having seen all three of the children at the dojo that one time, would know they were there at the citadel. Though given D's mission he may not care, afterall they were of Mastema his enemy and the one he was certain had his wife's body somewhere on the citadel grounds. To him, they could just be casualties, so thank goodness they were safely tucked away where they were*

Stop the clone did indeed, though not because the energy impeded it. It knew where it had come from and likely whom, and as Than rose into the air, his suspicions were proven correct. "Thanatos. Heh. Mastema sending you out to greet his guests now? I thought you better than a doorman." His tone was far from friendly and frankly, he sounded as if he didnt expect a reply. Whether he even cared about a reply was debateable. "I'm here for my wife. I suggest you bring her to me before I begin tearing this place apart to look for her. I know that she is here." His eyes never moved from Than's, his face showing just as much emotion as the other man's. Obviously Draeken was not there to talk or play.
Draeken would hold eye contact for a moment longer before turning his head to look at Ayiana. "I suggest you stay away from me for the time being. Start searching if you would like. Don' argue." This time his tone said that he would accept no argument. The suggestion was more an order.
Outside the barrier, Draeken sighed. "Than. I hope he can be sensible. I would rather not see him get hurt. A strong kid I do not doubt, but...I cannot let anyone, even him, get in my way." He closed his eyes for a moment as if saying a prayer beforehand, in the event anyone he liked was to die in there within the next few minutes. When his eyes opened once again they were alight with the same determined and well constrained fury as before.
