Raven gets knocked back by the man's stike, but manages to keep his balance as he slides along the desert sands. He watches as the flurries of attacks by everyone goes to waste.

'No, I can't.' Raven replys to Blank. 'But I can surpass human limitations.' As Blank races once again at the man he adds. 'Try not to get yourself killed.'
Seeing, or should that be gawking at, Rose's last tranformation he can't help but yell: 'Rose, stop being a hussy, and swing your sword rather than your hips.' Realising that she had a perfectly good comeback of; why don't you do something. or words similar. He decided to use another new technique; Shunpo and once again disappeared.

His previous attacks were based on using Shadowmeld you cloak himself before then appearing to attack. With Shunpo, however, the reason why he disappears is because he is moving faster than the eye can see and unlike Shadowmeld this move allows him to attack. He passes behind the man and slashes at his back, he then turns and slashes across his chest. He repeats this four more times, targeting the man's arms and legs only appearing for, a split second, as he makes the turns. It takes a lot out of him and after he makes his final pass, he stops and collapses to one knee as exhustion takes hold.

Rose changes back to her normal form. Damn it, she thinks. Is this guy even a man? No one should've been able to resist a baobhan sith. (OOC: By the way, a baobhan sith is a Scottish vampire; their other form is a hooded crow. Oh, and Alpha, you're fighting dirty. ).

Rose thinks furiously about every single creature she can think of. Water demons would be useless. A redcap would be viewed as a Miniblin at best. A cait sidhe might as well be a cir sith. But what about a cŵn annwn? No, that would still be like a cir sith. A basiliskos? No, that would definitely put the others in danger. But what about a griffin? No, her assuming different forms were starting to get into a habit. She had to stop changing altogether.

Or at least to attack. She could change into something lucky and tag around with an ally. Her eyes quickly scanned the battleground. Blank could use some luck. She dashes over to him and kneels next to him. Then she is gone, or so it would seem. She have shrunken down to an inch. If anyone bothered to look for her, they would see that had on a green suit and red hair....and a beard? She had turned into a leprechaun, one of the luckiest creatures in existance. She grabs onto Blank's clothing. Maybe now the nomad would get lucky.

you bastard! kasei dispised his own servants being used against him, and aria was also upset... feh, no matter, i'll kill you anywhay! aria, leave now! The shiekah girl follows orders, and quickly leaves as kasei draws a circle of blood on the ground while chanting an aincent spell. The sky grows dark, and thunder is heard in the distance. the ground near kasei shakes, and all of the shadows in the area fly out of their possitions into the circle, and take form. The dark figure of phantom ganon rises, ready to serve his master. Heheheh, did you realy think you could win?!? you will die here! phantom ganon charges, sword raised....

Speed like lightning. A burst in the wind. A cheetah of men. An unexpected ability.

The sword slashes through the Assassin's cape and right through to his back. Biting back a curse as pain pours into him as the result of an attack that finally connected, he looks around just in time to take in the scene before something flashes past him again, striking into his chest. Realizing that Raven is the only one not in view, he quickly discerns that he is moving at a speed beyond sight. The Assassin has never heard of someone going as fast as Raven, but he can still think on his feet and figure out a way to hinder his process.

'The last slash was going in that direction, so that's where he is.' A glance shows that he is correct, as Raven appears there for only a split second. Twisting in that direction, the Assassin brings his staff up in an attempt to block the slash. Then Raven is past and still going. 'He's still going? Very impressive; most unexpected.' He utilizes a maneuver that has shown itself to be quite useful thus far: he punches the ground, sending up a wall of sand in an attempt to get away from the Sheikah's blade. The thief still manages to get lucky once and catches his left arm, but otherwise he escapes further injury.

Phantom Ganon, on the other hand, was expected much sooner. Rubbing his arm still, he moves to clutch Brenyuu and rushes forward yet again. The head on approach has been more than enough to deal with the weakling's weaklings, and it makes sense to utilize it again. Jumping up with the staff held in both hands, he brings it down on Phantom Ganon's head, unleashing a maelstrom of lightning into the dark one's body. He grins as he lands on the ground again, but it falters as he feels his muscles beginning to strain slightly. Raven's attacks had taken their toll, both on the target and the one executing them.

But he stands again without much difficulty, and laughs at the shocked being behind him. "Light beats away the darkness...but one who thrives in both worlds in invincible. Too bad you can't."

Both worlds, eh? The phantom ganon attack was futile from the start, and kasei knew it, but now he performed shadowmeld, and appeared behind his foe, pitch black.

Let us see who is the weakling! Kasei vanished again and again, appearing in different places in different forms, he decided to confuse his apponent, knowing that all his summons were no match.

It was then that another figure could be seen from the south, zori, the shadow had arrived!

Looks like I managed to hit him. He sees the blood covering the tip of his blade and how he falters as he hits the ground, as he dispatched the Phantom. He stays stationary, breathing hard. I really shouldn't do Shunpo in a row like that. He then struggles to get up on his feet, the soft sand and exhaustion, don't help to make it any easier.

He manages to get to his feet, but he continues to breath hard. It's going to be a while until he can fight effectively. He takes a drink out of a flask and as he puts it back he remembers, the seeds. His hand rummages around in the pouch and he manages to find them all three of them he didn't use them in the dungeon and he almost forgot he had them. Maybe these can help give me an advantage. He thinks as he puts two of them away and hides the third in his hand.

Alex regained some control as he was thrown back, this 'being', was more powerful than many he had faced before. Then, maybe to beat him he would have to fight a little better than before...
He noticed the sparks coming out of his hands, he had rarely expierenced this sensation but he was sure of what it was, 'An electric forcefield'.
He just had to concentrate enough to make the energy pass all over his body, down his wasit and then...
He covered with a purple cone of energy, throwing sparks from the tip of his fingers, the forcefield extended over 9ft around him, but it soon wrapped tight to his body, taking the sole form of him; now his daggers were throwing sparks too, that would mean that rediercting the energy...
Zaaap!; a thunder bursts out his weapon, he looks at it astounded, then looks at the Assassin.
"No matter how fast you are, you can't beat a thunder" the ranger says, he joins both edges of his daggers, inmideatly a ball of light forms where they touch, getting bigger and brighter...
He gave a quick glanze at his enemy, smiling defyingly "You're mine" he said under his breath...
Zaaap! he unleashed the whole energy loaded in his weapons, which headed for the Assassin...
"No matter how fast you are, you can't beat a thunder"...

Kasei's random immersions into the shadows are worthless, for all the assassin cares. He doesn't even bother to look in the same direction as the Sheikah, who continues to perform the most simplistic and most expected of maneuvers in a futile attempt to confuse or injure him.

His sight is riveted, though, by the sight of Zori approaching the group. Beneath the mask, the Assassin's jaw drops momentarily. 'I know that Zori is working alongside Kasei, but what business would he have here? He wouldn't care to dabble in such meaningless fights like this!' Just the same, he can't shake off the feeling that the newcomer's purpose is to join in this battle.

"A thunder?" he hears Alex's comment and turns just in time to see the Zora encompassing himself with the electric walls Zora Heroes are known for mastering. 'Does he mean a lightning bolt, or a Thunder Spell?' Regardless of whichever Alex means, he's right about one thing: there's no way that even the Assassin can dodge the bolt of lightning that flies straight at him.

Of course, he doesn't need to. Just like the Zora's last attack, every stray spark flies straight towards his staff and is absorbed. Brenyuu shines even brighter as the lightning only reinforces whatever powers it holds. "You'll have to do better than that, Alex..." the Assassin says, just as the force of the attack causes him to take a step backward to regain his footing. 'Brenyuu might absorb the shock, but the shockwave is a different story...yes, this Zora is indeed strong...'

OOC: I'm beginning to see why Malciore used to do topics like this...it's fun to play around with an invincible character.

...of course, he's not invincible...I just have no clue how you guys intend to beat him...

...The assasins thought were correct, zori just stood there, watching the battle progress, he didn't care who won... Quit ignoring me! Kasei shrouded his fist in flames, and made a punch at the assasin, at the same time, he threw bombs at his apponent.

OOC: By blind luck, Alpha. And I'm tired of waiting for Blank to get here. I want to see if my new strategy works.

IC:
Seeing that others are attacking before Blank could, Rose makes a slight change to her plan. As each ally begin their attack, she uses the elf's special powers to teleport to the attacker and rub off her luck onto the person attacking. She then heads off to the next attacker to do the same.

Sovel had been building up energy for a devastating attack... "NOW... FEEL MY RATH!!!" he yells as his crystal body releases a blast of dark fury...

OOC: Oh yeah, i forgot Kasei is the most powerful being in the universe when it comes to RP battles.

IC: Dogura felt the electricity flow through him, and he fell to the ground once again. "What is this beast?" He thought, as he regained footing. Down, but not out, he saw something gleaming in the sand. It was a gold locket. He picked it up, and inspected it. A scuff. Dogura's face went from shock, to tears, to anger. It must have been scuffed in the impact from the chain.

Memories flooded the Vagabonds mind, as he felt something creeping over his body. He stumbled over to the nearest comrade... Kasei. There was no one else he could have gotten to in time. "K-Kasei... I know you arent... very passionate... but please... T-take care of this... for now.. I-I-..." His eyes went blank.

"Ugrggg" A sound came from deep within his stomach. he tore his shirt, and armor off, for he knew what was about to happen. Something that hadnt in a long while... The first thing that happened, was a spine shooting out of his back. Then another, and another, until there were many spines down his back. Then, he began to grow, and drool, and his teeth grew long and sharp. His hands turned into giant black retractable claws that went about a foot long each, burst forth from him.

His last thought, was of his locket. Would it be safe with kasei? Would he peek? Would he acknowlede the samurai's wish? Then, came a primal mind. He starred hard at all of them, and was about to attack the fastest moving target, Raven. but then saw the man. His mind clicked when he saw him, asif the man inside somehow remembered, and he lunged straight for him, claws outstretched, and jaws open. A loud roar escaped his belly, and the ground rumbled, as he prepared to have a meal.

OOC: Yes, he's primal now. Okay Alpha, his senses, and attributes have all taken +4 upgrade, however, he may attack a friend. he's confused in this state, and it can only be used in RP battles such as this. If you want to know what this is all about, read my recently typed up story in my profile. Its the latest entry.

OOC: I think that's sarcasticly, by the way Alpha, it's not a thunder spell, at least not in an RP fight...
IC: The force field around Alex didn't loose his intensity for a second, in fact, it was getting stronger, it was feeding from his emotions, hate, desperation; all of this gave him strength, which he was focusing on his 'center'.
Now that he was focusing in the Assassin's staff, it bothered him that it was absorbing all his attacks, he anreged even more, which made his force field even stronger. There had to be a way to attack him directly, a way to make the electricity to hit him...
"Water conducts electricity!" he had it, he just had to make it work.
Elemenatl burst of water!
As soon as the spell was cast, he took the same strategy he had last time, but his time the lightning concentration was stronger.
Those who take lives do not deserve to have one

OOC: Ah, nice one Alex. I like that maneuver quite a bit.

IC:
Yukie slowly shakes his head. "Ooooooh...what the heck just happened here!?!" he cries out. He had been knocked out after his last attempt at striking the Assassin, and he sees that there was good reason for it: the others had only barely managed to scratch him. He slowly moves around, looking for some way he can help.

The Assassin knocks Kasei's fists away, not even appearing to feel the flames that attempt to envelope him, then lands a strong fist on his chest, pushing the rebel flame back. "I'm not ignoring you, obviously. But your element of choice cannot hurt me - trust me on this."

The bomb suddenly explodes behind him, and he is truly shrouded in flames. But when the fire clears, it seems he has spoken the truth: not a shred of his clothing has even been touched by the blast. Forming a circle around his feet is sand, which is bordered by sand turned glass by the heat. Yet he is not affected. As expected.

Turning at the sound of Sovel's voice, the Assassin leaps upward to avoid the mighty energy waves. Even as it passes beneath him, he turns his head in the direction of Dogura, now having entered his Primal Form. The possibility of him becoming a beast had not been expected, but it had been taken into account. He brings his staff around to intercept the beast, striking Dogura yet again with an electrified weapon - this time, the staff Brenyuu.

Landing, he turns to find another blast being prepared by the Zora. "Please," he calls out. "You have to hit me with your Water burst before it can take effect. And you still can't seem to hit me!"

"Oh, he can't, can he?" Without warning, two pairs of arms reach up and wrap around his arms, placing him in a lock that he, for some reason, can't seem to get out of. Casting a glance back even as the Elemental Burst is rushing onward, he is shocked to see that Yukie the Deku has somehow snuck up behind him and firmly latched himself onto the Assassin. This had not been expected.

Then the burst hits him. To make matters worse, it hits the staff Brenyuu first, then the water encases him in the wall of electricity. Waves of lightning rise up into the sky as a tortured scream escapes his mouth.

When the Water burst finally subsides and the staff's electrical outcharge is complete, the Assassin collapses to his knees, panting heavily. That had not been expected, not at all.

Raven snickered as the electricity flowed through the man's body. 'That's got to hurt with all that metal you're wearing.' At the same time he was keeping his eye on the newly transformed Dougra. As the last time he looked at him, it was with hunger in his eyes. It seems that Blank was right, we are the only normal ones here.

That's an interesting ability you have there why didn't you tell me about it. Red says telepathicly. You had no need to know. Raven replys coldly. I see. Still don't trust me, eh. Well maybe you can talk with my friends.
He's a strong opponent that one.Kloak observes. I like this telepathy talk. It's cool. Daggur pipes up. You do know that you transmit your thoughts so whatever you think is transmitted to the mind of the person your connected with. Explains Kloak. Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it's cool. Raven sighs. How is this meant to help me; except into a mental breakdown. This guy isn't a true assassin, Daggur says, his methods are too brazen. A true assassin would have dispatched her quickly and quietly. This guy appears to enjoy the fight, he is more of a warrior than an assassin. She says a digusted tone in her voice. You have to ask yourself why is he wearing that armour. Kloak adds. Is it just to protect him in battle or does it give him other abilities. His immunity to fire can't be natural, or maybe that's what the mask is hiding and he's not natural himself. Well I hope that helps. Red concludes. We'll get out of your head now and allow you to concentrate on the battle. Maybe when it's over you can teach me that Shunpo thing of yours.

Now with the voices gone he has a chance to think over what Kloak and Daggur had said to him. It's true that this guys methods don't folow that of the regular assassin. Their M.O is to kill the target quickly and escape without anyone noticing that they were there, in that respect this guy is like a hired goon. The way he escaped the bomb blast without a shred of damage, maybe he is not what he seems and with him down maybe this would be the perfect opportuity to find out. Raven does his disappear/reappear act once again appearing right in front of the fallen man. He then flings the arctic seed at the man's mask. If the seed hits it's target he plans to the break the mask with the hilt of his blade. If it should miss however he stands rady for any attack he might dish out.
