The council room was simple enough. The table before the twenty chairs was made from marble, a thin silk cloth of white laid over it. Twenty oak chairs each with arm rests lined up tend upon each side of the lengths of the table, and a the head of the table beneath a stained glass window of the meditating Baphomet was a throne made from minerals not found in this world, a sort of violet metal. The actual shape of the chair tended to change upon Kain's mood. The other windows were stained glass as well, depicting the "true" events of the bible, one of such was God's sorrow after flooding the Earth. Each seat had a clean wine glass and napkin folded into a pentacle before it. The candelabrums that lit the room let off a mixture of red and black glows, giving a dark, macabre look and feel. And now, Feign, with Masamune in hand in his right grip, sat waiting for whoever the hell thought they have a chance in Heaven, Hell and all in between against him.

Annette didn't bother knocking or anything as she pushed the doors open to the Council room. She had changed her clothes into something that was a bit easier to fight in, mainly a pair of men's riding pants, a worn pair of brown boots that laced almost all the way up to her knees, and a white collard s**t with the sleeves rolled up and a vest over it. One of her rapiers hung at her side, and Murasame just above that.
Closing the doors behind her she turned to set her wine colored eyes on Feign, not showing a whole lot of emotion a she took a few steps closer to the table. "I do hope you plan on doing more then just sitting on your lazy stealing a** on a chair that you don't even belong in?" she asked, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly in a smirk. "Is being in that seat helping you to furhter your fantasy of teh person your trying to be?"

"You're close...every clone's mistake, in my humble opinion, is that they want to become who they were cloned from; replace the original. The reason for such is just as you pointed out; a feeling of dominance and pride. But in my particular case you're very much wrong." He'd rest his cheek on his free fist and grin. "I want to separate myself completely from the one who's blood I was born from; I want to sever the chain of servitude. We were all born into pleasant slavery...pleasant as it may be I don't care for the feeling of shackles. The noise bothers me." He'd scoff a bit and begin to analyze her, his eyes quickly falling upon the short sheath of Murasame. "I suppose that's in your possession via Kain's wishes, right? The tool to cancel out Masamune?" He'd sigh and look up to the golden chandelier over the table. "I can't believe my invitation was answered by an outsider...tell me something: Am I going to need to move from this throne to whip your a**? Or will I actually need to stand and get you on your knees?"

"No, you can stay still. You've done a wonderful job of making an a** out of yourself which makes my target far more easier to hit then yours." She drew her rapier, this one different then the one she'd used in the fight with Lich. The blade was the color of polished metal, and very thin. Though the sharpness of it and the weight clearly told one that is was far from any metallic substance. She made no movement to attack, but Fiegn would find the throne he was sitting in would tip sharply to one side as Annette froze the moisture in the air to create ice under one side of it. Since the attack wasn't meant directly for him, she hoped Pi Dee's ability didn't affect it.

"Now what in the hell did the throne ever do to you, hm? Christ, God only knows I'll be blamed for this so I may as well make it my fault!" He'd stand from the chair and snap his fingers, lighting it ablaze. The metal would let out a shriek as it burned, something like nails on the chalkboard. He didn't count on that, but then again it was made from something Kain found floating in space. For all he knew he was sitting on an alien. He'd just sigh and allow the sheath to drop from the massive Masamune and look the blade over. He'd run his fingers over the blade, allowing it to burn brightly from his fire magic and shove the red blade into the ground, his right hand never leaving the hilt. "Wake the ******** up and do your job less you wish to look as weak as those you've broken!" The blade would sink into the ground and he'd grin having found an alternate way to awaken the blade.
The candles in the room would quickly blow out as a warm wind brushed over them, the windows soon covered with thick shadows, almost solid in nature. Not that it could be seen, but a black mist would fill the room, one that served a single purpose: Force anyone that it came in contact with, save the wielder, to re-live their most painful and frightening experiences. Feign's eyes had changed, again not that they could be seen, but they were now orbs of red allowing him thermal vision. Now he'd just fold his arms and wait for the next move to see what he'd need to do, or make Masamune do.

Annette snapped her fingers, relighting the candles with her own control over fire. Yes she'd been practicing. "Personally I feel sorry for that sword. After all the stories I've heard about it, it deserves a better wielder then yourself." She replaced her rapier and placed her hand on Murasame. She knew each sword had a soul to it, she felt odd using something like that as a weapon. None the less she drew the sword, and then noticed the mist. "I was told you could Nullify the powers of Masamune." she said quietly, actually talking to the sword. "Don't suppose you'd mind doing such a thing now." she asked the sword.

"Alright, you want fire? Darkness a bit much for you, draculina? Then let's give you all the fire you could want!" His eyes would shift to normal, a grin still on his face. Another snap and the fire from the candles would light up and create a ring of fire around the walls and rise up to the ceiling, and soon fire would shoot from the ceiling at Annette while fireballs feel in random places, each one that feel near Feign would be kicked at Annette. "Just gonna ask it for help!? What the makes you think -" He'd notice the mist disappear and Masamune would shoot from the ground back into his hand. He'd stare at the blade for a moment and sigh. "Not your damn fault I guess; light cancels out dark n' you two don't like one another!" He'd sheath the blade at his side and sigh. "Alright, so I ain't gonna be able to use the sword's powers on you. Doesn't save the country, though! Nor anyone else save you and Kain specifically. So c'mon, let's see you take back the stolen and now raped sword from me. I'm waiting, girly!"

Annette mentally thanked Murasame before re sheathing it. The fireballs she wasn't going to worry about as she simply dodged the ones thrown at her, and willed the rest to be put out. "I'd rather not want to know how you managed to rape that sword." she frowned, looking actually disgusted. "Honestly though, your such a lousy clone that you had to break the swords will before you could make that half a** attempt to wake it."
The wind would pick up a bit around Annette and not only would it feed the fire in teh room but she'd controlled it in a way that it pushed majority of the heat toward Feign.

"Ah, trying to get into my head; to attack me on a level where you don't have to really do anything to send me into a frenzy. Make me mad, upset me, make me destroy myself..." He'd laugh a bit and open his arms to the wind, the hot air feeling great against him. It would only last for a moment as he'd reverse them and ignite them, forcing them to carry waves of fire towards her that he'd force into a hyper time dilation rather than putting himself into one quite yet, thus making the waves go beyond light speeds as he'd created them. He'd finally grin and place his hands in his pockets, a tell of what he planned to do next. "Let me ask you something: How are you going to win this if all you can manage is evasion and semi-reversal? Face it, you're going to need to attack somehow, and when you do I believe you know what will happen." Snicker snicker.

"Actually, having you destroy yourself wasn't part of teh equation. I'm really not in the mood to haul your corpse out of this place and put it on the pikes outside, so killing you isn't in my options." Annette took a step back as several black tendrils reached out to take hold of Feign. The Lich's technique was something she'd kept with a few others. Before Feign had the time to break free, Annette was behind him, using a leftover technique of Vincents. "Your not the only one who can copy abilities." The rapier at her side burst into pieces, each one nothing more then a shard of ice she'd compressed onto her actual sword. The shards latched onto Masamune, and froze the swords hilt to the sheath and branched out before freezing the area around the sword that held it to Feign. Again, she wasn't attacking Feign flat out.
Annette still stood behind Feign, having avoided the onslaught of fire. She had taken note of his stance prior and waited for him to break free before attempting anything.

There would be no touching, or even freezing at that. And even more: He wouldn't move. He'd remain still for her, though he'd taken to the intangible state Kain often took to. Of course what he touched would switch to that pain of existence right along with him, allowing Masamune to avoid hits as well. Thorough studies had shown one thing to be affective against an intangible foe, and that was the element he controlled the best. "Yes, and where would you be if you couldn't copy moves? Where would you be if you couldn't mooch off of Kain's powers and tactics? I suppose you'd be...well, lower then even the tenth seat amongst us! You're a conglomerate of everyone else's power." He'd grin and and quickly thrust his palm forward, though the fireball would appear behind her. At that point he'd kneel down and slam his hand into the floor, fire falling from above whatever her current position would be after the initial fireball. Finally he'd rise and with two fingers seem to beckon to her, though he'd actually performed a condensed version of a ritual. The tiles of the room would erupt with fire, though only every other tile would erupt. A moment later, the tiles that hadn't previously erupted would. Easy attack with an easy pattern, though since the tales were so small in the room beneath the carpet there wasn't much room to dodge.
His own attack was a threat to him, thus he'd exit the now pointless intangible state and instead summon the AP Field, though he'd only summon it around his feet. No heat particle was going to touch him. "So you plan to attack my sword, then? How very cruel; beat the beaten." He'd look to he sword and grin before shifting it into his left hand. "Kasai; kaze; koudo; mizu; seirei." The sword's guard would slowly allow tendrils to emerge from it, not quite black in color or even on the correct plain of existence. "Shouten Masamune Shussei." The tendrils would instantly become tangible and wrap around the blade, black in color and seemingly pulsing. "I'll let you in on a little secret: I've been studying this damn thing since I was born. As the only one allowed to see them and the only one of three with access to the archives, and the only one of two allowed into the secret archives, the other being Kain, I was able to find Kain and Mictian's notes on this thing...Mictian was the first to wake it up like this. A series of wide-eyed jibble babble to apparently release dormant power, and recitation of more jibble-babble to summon that power into this world, into the blade. Poor Masamune...she's supposed to look ugly as hell." He'd grin and encase the sword in an AP Field, making sure to control his power. Keeping the flame geysers going in his pattern was hard enough. Now he'd rest the blade not over his shoulder per say, but it looked that way. "Kain probably thought I couldn't release it's power, right? Well it's amazing how much free time I've had to learn! So c'mon. Try sealing it again! Try neutralizing it! Try ignoring the fire! And see what happens when you used that borrowed power..."

"At least I acknowledge the fact that the abilities I use aren't mine." She'd hope up onto teh table dodging teh fire one the floor and focusing the rest of it away from her. "And I wasn't attacking the sword so much as I was trying to take it from you. View things all the way through. Don't just stop on the one thing you would do if you were me. It's an awful way to fight a battle, and an even more horrible way to attempt getting inside a persons head." She summoned the black tendrils again this time they moved and struck through teh windows in the room.
Shattering glass echoes a moment as Annette focused on something she practiced with earlier as well. Wind whipped through the room, and Annette made sure it was enough to put the fire out as she chilled the moisture rich air. "I'm really getting tired of you trying to show off your 'better then you' attitude and powers." she said flatly. The air in the room got colder, and it was apparent as Annette's breath started to fog now.

He'd stand still for a moment and stare at her in bewilderment. "You wanted to take the sword? You actually wanted to touch it? Damn, I gave to far more credit then that..." He'd look to Masamune, then slowly back to her. "Even when the damn thing isn't fully awake, it's aware. Think it would'a let me touch it with repercussion if it didn't WANT me to!?" He'd laugh for a moment, mouth wide open and his hands nearly on his knees. "She'd of torn you apart the moment you touched her; only reason I abused her was because she's a lazy damn sword! Kain's buddy Mictian treated her far worse then me burning her!" He'd sigh and grin. "We can only use the powers we're given, by the way. I didn't have a choice in this clone matter and my cells aren't able to adapt properly to further training; Kain's fail-safe 'case one of us wanted to rise up against him. So don't try to gimme the crap about the power I use. I was born with it n' use it lady. You ain't using what you were born with! So hell, I AM better!"
He'd look to Masamune and grin again before snapping his fingers. The fire would cease and he didn't want to waste tricks when they wouldn't work. "Gotta say, there is a loophole in the fail safe. One that lets me take the powers I copy n' enhance them. Now I'm going to assume this fight will go real damn slow if I keep usin' Pi Dee's power...so I'm gonna speed it up." He'd discontinue the AP Field around Masamune and sheath is through his back quite literally. Arms spread out he'd summon the nineteen orbs and touch Pi Dee's again. He'd dismiss the orbs and smile. "Don't tell Kain I made those, or can summon them. It'd hamper things...but hey: I just put the power back. So I ain't copying a damn thing, just using what I was given at...well, creation." He'd rip the sword from his back and grin. "So can we start a real fight now, girly?"

She didn't feel like going into detail with the fact that unless she actually practiced the abilities she copied, she'd lose them. The rest of what he said she'd let go with the roll of her eyes. Annette moved off the table calmly and nodded, hand going to her the hilt of the sword at her waist. "Our own powers it is then." she said drawing Murasame. She wondered if he realized she hadn't quite used any of her own powers since she'd came to this place to begin with. She hadn't actually had to.

He'd grin and and create an AP Barrier, one that went from wall to wall and roof to floor. His right leg would rise and with a slight kick of his foot, an absolutely unimportant gesture, he'd send the field at her with a laugh before creating another one in the one he'd shot's place, and another identical one behind him. Sadly, he'd annihilate the table in this way. "You gonna attack me from the sides or the air? That is if you can get through the field." He'd shrug and just look Masamune over without a care in the world. He knew he'd left out a possible way to attack, and he'd done so for a reason.
