Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fei-Tao looked up as he sensed the strange energy in the air change the atmosphere around the cafe. Turning around in his seat, he stood up as he slammed his notebook on the counter. He couldn't explain why, but he just felt uncomfortable and very uneasy, observable by how the fur in his ears and tail seemed to stand up.

The woman stared at Imogen, her eyes narrowed.
"Don't you dare come any closer, you fiend," she said through gritted teeth, venom dripping through her voice.

She took in a deep breath, gathering up her magic.
"Because I can level you in one blow."

Maria held her hands in front of her, a milky blue shield forming between them and the dragon. She pushed it out farther, the translucent magic crackling vibrantly with cold sparks.

Before he could even think of what he was doing, Fei-Tao suddenly found himself dashing over and shoving Maria and Ikima aside with a loud snarl, the bolt of magic slightly grazing his left side. He stood there, startled by his sudden action, his ears turned back and flattened against his head and the fur slightly standing on his tail. Why did he just do that? It wasn't his place to be stepping in, but he couldn't stand the sight nor the thought of Maria and Ikima being injured, or worse, killed in front of him. Was that why, or was it something else? His deep red eyes cautiously turned back to the dragon, wearily anticipating a second attack.

Fei-Tao instinctively dodged out of the way quickly, throwing himself to his right. As he rolled back to his feet, he kicked off the floor back toward the dragon and pulled his fist back, swinging it forward with his additional momentum and a strange dark aura that had formed around him. It was barely noticeable, but his dark red eyes were making a slow transition to a deep azure hue. The boy could feel his conscious slipping as his vision slowly brightened, but he felt some strange presence within him. Whatever it was, it was taking over; it must've been the reason behind his sudden actions, he figured. Fei-Tao sensed no malice from it, but at the same time, a somewhat familiar presence.

Under Aiden's touch, Suki's ears twitch a little bit.
Laughing at the wolf boy, Imogen catches his fist, squeezing hard enough to just keep from crushing his hand, then whirls, flinging Fei Tao into the nearby wall. He turns, Ikima now charging him, and braces his shoulders a bit before letting out a roar, which is returned with more venom by Ikima, who rams a shoulder into the dragon's chest. Imogen's sight stops for a moment, all of the air sucked out of him as Ikima slams him into a table. Wrenching his hands into his ribs, Ikima digs his claws in before slamming him into the table again, which is retaliated by Imogen pulling back his legs and slamming them into Ikima's ribs, and with a deafening crack Ikima is thrown off, slamming into the counter across the room and falling to the floor with a loud thud. Imogen stands, dusting himself off, laughing like gravel, and turns to Maria, his gaze more vicious than before.

[Epic one person battle scene. XD]
