Lorna's left emerald eyebrow arched upwards a few centimeters as her Poisonous opponent managed to evade the electrical bolts, which the Polaris Owl had rained down upon her. Anya was not someone to be underestimated, that much was very clear to Lorna. Glimpsing the building, which Anya was trying to run into for cover. She 'tsked'. They couldn't have that now could they? Electricity began to rain itself down from the clouds and absorb into Lorna's body before being admitted through her pores towards the buildings in the area causing the electrical attack upon them to destroy them. "You know that hiding from me won't do you any good," Lorna sneered. The amount of electricity, which Lorna had absorbed was taking a toll upon her, but her expression said otherwise. She was not about to let her enemy know that she had her limits.

Lucien stared forward, the hot air blowing his hair gently around his face, his eyes staring through Soliel with a cold intensity, like a snake's eyes that stared through the lies. He snapped his fingers, creating a small spark, within his hand he had began to form an incredibly small amount of pure calcium, calcium by itself was highly volatile, and highly explosive. As the magma hounds traversed their hellish surroundings Lucien whipped his hand up, in an instant a a thick white glimmering powder flew from his hand, in an instant his body disappeared, using his photon conversion to quickly warp away. He stood on a wall, horizontally to the ground looking up. As the hounds came in close to the calcium the sheer heat was enough to charge them up with enough energy to react spontaneously with themselves. The calcium immediately exploded splattering the magma hounds. Lucien immediately began running up the wall.
Flipping his wrist out his razor wires clung to the ceiling, using them like ropes he swung from the wall swinging through the air until he could see Soliel climbing up the wall, Lucien should have known he was trying to take the high ground, but he wouldn't let that happen. As he swung up he cut the wires. Flipping slowly backwards he felt his back bending backwards directly before his body burst into a spree of glowing photons. Immediately he reappeared infront of Soliel, falling towards the magma owl he whipped his hand out manipulating his negation he snapped a thread of negation at the magma arm he was using to climb the wall, severing it as was the purpose of his negation. With the slight hesitation in Soliel's ascention Lucien charged up an immense sphere of sonic energy. As he fell further he held out the sphere just before he reached the magma owl releasing the sonic pulse in a massive shockwave to both send Lucien flying up but send Soliel rocketing back to the ground.
What is it the calls forth the Herald's? Destiny, Fate? Whose to say for certain. In an act of sheer assault Cecilia would find herself being thrown into the sky by a reversal of the gravitational pull around her body. As her body tumbled into the sky a massive 90 degree change in the direction of the gravitation shooting her body throguh the air like an arrow from a bow. The culprit? The Gravity Herald himself. Adam stood on the rooftop, with his arms crossed, he watched as the cosmic owl vanished into th horizonline. He started walking forward, picking up the pace until he was using the reversal force of gravity placed behind his body to push him forward after the high flying owl.

Anya scowled deeply when Lorna basically blew up the building she had been headed for. Then again, maybe hiding was a stupid idea to begin with. Whatever the reasons, Anya had to hold an arm up to protect her head from the shards of brick that flew toward her from the destroyed building. Of course, she would feel the soreness from the bruises the next day. Anya's eyes narrowed as she looked up at where he could see Lorna hovering in the sky. There had to be some way she could take the damn girl down to her knees. balling her hands up into a fist, Anya swung her arms as if she was swinging a baseball bat. As she did so, her acid-paste arms extended and eventually shot out a giant blob of the paste towards Lorna, who was hovering on her metal disk. This was a last ditch effort for Anya as she had no way of physically flying up to fight Lorna. Anya, too, was feeling drained from the dome attack.

The Cosmic Owl was unaware that she as being watched. Despite the fact that she could detect energy signals, there were many around, that she couldn't lock in on just one. This was one of the factors that resulted in her being launched through the air by a sheer reversal of the gravitational pull. Because of the force and momentum at which she was "catapulted", she was unable to relatiate. The force, which had attacked, was skilled in Gyrokinesis, even more so than Cecilia was. She could feel the weight of the gravity bearing down upon her. The Sapphire Owl had never felt something like this before. Yet, what goes up, must come down. Cecilia soon landed painfully upon her back, skidding back a few feet, the friction from the road tearing at her flesh. Gritting her teeth in pain, she slowly forced herself to stand up. Even though her bones were not broken, she could feel pain coursing throughout her entire body, not just from the wounds she had been forced to take from the fall. Lorna knew she wouldn't be able to last much longer and from the looks of things, neither would Anya. The Polaris Owl cursed silently to herself as the Poison Owl launched another acidic orb at her. The attack struck the disc, which she flew upon and began to melt it. Because of Lorna's lack of energy, she was unable to keep herself up within the air and she was certainly unable to reform the disc as well. Yet, she would not go down without at least one more last ditch attack. Thrusting her hands forward, she launched one more stream of electricity towards Anya before she fell unconscious as she fell towards the roof of a building that was only partially destroyed, landing forcefully.

As the dust cleared and the haze lifted Adam stood through the shroud and dust looming over Cecilia. He walked towards the shaken blue owl, wondering how she managed to live through that. He stared down at her and shook his head. "You? You're the best my element has to offer from this generation? Pathetic." He said as he lowered his hand, immediately the gravity began increasing, until soon it was doubled what the normal pressure on Earth was. "Get up. Show me that you're worth existing." He said softly. Adam used his other hand, directing the gravity he force it to meld and shift until the gravity around a small home was shifted until it was aiming directly at Cecilia, slowly the house began to tear and rip apart until large chunks of foundation began to fly towards Cecilia.

Raven evaded just in time, but in a way the Italian forgot to take into consideration. She could give herself pseudo-flight thanks to her own power. The rotating Owl grinned proudly at his adversary. Like Lucien, the French woman was a quick thinker. In her line of work, she had to be to avoid bullets from conspirators and skilled FBI or UNS snipers. The Life Owl already knew he had more skill than that...if it weren't for him rotating faster than chopper blades, he may have rubbed his nose cockily and even scoffed afterwards. The time for self-reflection had come to an end. His mind was back on the task at hand: Killing Raven and bringing this farce to an end.
Roulin established that the little blonde minx was just on the other side of his wall prepping an attack. The way her focused eyes were trained upon the rock wall in front of her matched the fervor of a housewife as she awaited a burglar to burst through her door. Instinctively, this lead Roulin to believe that her counter attack relied upon that wall being smashed first. Good. He could remedy her strategy with just one move. Rather than crash through the wall as she may have expected, he ported both himself and the bullet like distortion to a point only meters behind her. Her reflexes may have been fast enough to put up a nice little bubble of cushion, but it was just that that Roulin wanted. To be blown back a mile and a half would be fine on the Italian because now, he was prepared to abuse his ability to heal. Raven on the other hand would see herself suffering some form of damage whether it be superficial or internal.
~~~
Soliel was almost to the top of the Basilica finally after a full minute of clawing the wall to ascend. He had his plan. Because the floor was covered with magma, he'd simply melt the roof and sandwich the serpent eyed demon between two thick layers of lava. The plan was full proof...that was until his dogs were dealt with and destroyed. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the young owl heading toward him with another string dripping Negation. It sliced his arm causing the point from where it met to his hand to solidify and fall into the lava with a large splash. Soliel was hanging by a thread now and he knew he'd fall at this rate. His objective was too close at this point...he couldn't allow himself to fall again. Reforming his magma arm slowly, he called up a thick column of lava from the floor below. The speed at which it shot up was blinding for the liquid's size and thickness, but it was far from unavoidable. When the soundwave struck Soliel, his body was thrust downward into the lava. It didn't kill him as it would've most Owls. but it was enough to slow him down. Needless to say, the blonde devil was passed angry. From his pool of lava, he could only see in tunnel vision although normally, he could see everything around him for normal distance. Soliel was burning with rage now and the only thing on his mind was killing this kid. To counter, he brought as much magma as he could up from the watery floor below and washed it against the wall like a wave cresting on rocks on a shoreline. If concentrated attacks didn't work, maybe something more widespread would...brute force had to be the key here. It had to be...

Seeing as his plan had suceeded, or for the time being Lucien withdrew, with the upward push from his shockwave he felt his familiar wings shoot from his back, keeping him afloat in the area. Looking around he watched as the surge of magma collided with the walls of the building. He held up his hands creating a telekinetic wall to prevent the magma from splashing over his body. He looked up at the tidal wave of magma, his face remained expressionless but he needed a plan. He knew that he couldn't stay submerged in magma for very long, he could only stay a few minutes at the very most before he boiled alive in his own skin. As the wave came he immediately covered his body in a thick layer of carbon and negation. Watching it spread chillingly over his body the tidal wave of magma collided with his body, sending him hurdling through the soup of molten rock.
As he spun through the mixture he swam upward, flapping his covered wings to give him extra propulsion he spewed from the magma's surface once again. He stood on yet another platform of carbon, looking at Soleil through a vizor of carbon he gripped his hand, as the carbon and negation solidified forming a slim stealth suit like coating around his body. He gripped his hand into a fist, flexing his fingers to test the flexibility. As he looked towards Soleil he could hear the noises of his breathing sound through tiny holes he had fashioned in the suit. Thomas had his versino of a negation covered body, looks like Lucien had once again twisted the technique to best suit his needs. He he started walking forward he immediately took off in a sprint, he ran gliding along the surface of the magma, his footsteps were light and precise as he whipped his hand out flinging out several of his razor wires preparing for yet another assault.

The increase in gravity pushed down upon Cecilia, almost pushing her down upon her knees, but The Cosmic Owl began to counter by decreasing the gravity around her just enough to enable her to stand and move freely without straining herself. Running was not an option or even a possibility. Cecilia did not want to run. Yes, she was in the midst of a Herald, one of the most powerful beings in the world, but what would running prove? Absolutely nothing. Thrusting her hands forward, a barrier made of gravity was erected before her deflecting the chunks of the foundation away from her and back towards Adam. However, the chunks were merely a distraction. Taking to the air, Cecilia began to launch torrents of Cosmic energy towards Adam in attempts to strike him. Why Adam had outright attacked her, she didn't know, but defending herself and making it through this battle alive was the only clear solution, winning was not an option. She knew that she could not win against a force such at this, but she could make sure that she did not perish.

As the debris flew towards him Adam gripped his hand into a fist. Swing it in a backfist he slammed his fist into the debris creating a massive concussive wave of graviataional pull throwing the debris high into the air with a crash. As the beams charged towarsd him he side stepped their blasts, allowing them to hit the ground effortlessly. Swiping his hand a steel gurder from a building under construction was torn from it's foundation and spiraled towards Cecilia, the heavy metal gurder would smash any mammal on the planet to death on impact, Cecilia, if it hit, would be no different. As Adam began manipulating the gravity, using it to his advantage he began circling his other hand soon tiny dense pockets of gravity began to form throughout the area, each one was a miniature versino of the galaxy's most voracious power a black hole, which already had begun to prove it's name by sucking in matter. "Amateur." He said as the gravity pockets proved their power by dragging signs and concrete slabs into their gaping maw, soon the materials were crushed to powder under the weight of the endless gravitational force.

Anya watched as her acid paste hit Lorna's metal disk and began eating away at it. It brought a slight smirk to her face. However, she knew that Lorna could probably reform the disk. But she didn't know how quickly. But apparently, the Polaris Owl couldn't form one fast enough to stop her from falling and landing, hard, on the roof of another building. Anya's smirk widened. She hoped Lorna wouldn't get up so she wouldn't have to fight her even more. Anya was starting to feel the effects of blood loss and having used her powers so much and so strongly. When she was certain Lorna wasn't getting up anytime soon, Anya raised her left arm above her head and began absorbing the dome of poison back into her body. When that had been finished, Anya felt ridiculously exhausted and drained. She swayed on her feet from the blood loss as well. The first thing that came to her mind now was finding a place to sit down. And she did such. Well, more like she collapsed to her knees on the ground right where she was. Closing her eyes, Anya allowed herself a couple of minutes to breathe deeply to try to catch her breath. However, she couldn't help but finally fall over onto her side. And, in her exhaustion, she subsequently fell unconscious.

After teleporting via Hermes from the Basilica of Saint Peter's, Kate had appeared on the outskirts of Rome with the Mayor's elbow still gripped in her hand. She turned to look at the old man with her still very angry glare and noticed the man was physically cowering in fear. Maybe it was from a combination of the fact that he had almost gotten killed by Soliel and the fact he was with a very pissed of Kate. In fact, that was most likely way the poor man was shaking right now. Kate could feel that he was from her hold on his elbow. "Cease your cowering, Human." Kate snapped at the Mayor who flinched slightly from hearing her tone. The Eternity Owl's eyes narrowed slightly. "It is unbecoming of one with your such insignificant status as a mayor." she added before releasing her hold on the Mayor's arm, which probably made the Mayor quite happy to have his arm back and some distance between himself and Kate.
Kate gave an irritated scoff an the Mayor and turned away from him. "Now we must get you out of this chaotic country somehow." she said, thinking aloud, as she let her anger with Che simmer inside her mind. If the Mastering Owl was going to behave that way, Kate figured she may as well stay as far away from him as possible. But Kate wasn't afforded too much time for thinking. A loud shout jerked her from her thoughts, and Kate noticed the Mayor running away towards a group of soldiers. They were UNS by the looks of their uniforms. Kate's eyes narrowed. Was this Thomas' work?
The soldiers' weapons were now pointed in her direction. Perhaps they thought that she was part of the Fallen Pheonix? But right now, Kate did not care what was running through the minds of those soldiers. She spoke her phrase within her mind and to herself. 'Eternity: Jule--!' But as the soldiers pulled the triggers on their guns, Kate was surprised to feel a hard punch to her right shoulder. Her eyes widened briefly. She knew her powers had the tendency to short out on her sometimes. But now of all times!?
"W-What...?" Kate couldn't believe what was happening as she touched a hand to the wound at her shoulder. It left some blood on her hands: her own blood. The last time she had seen her own blood was when she had tried to kill herself all those years ago. It was then that some of the other soldiers in the group fired on her. Two bullets were simple grazes and nothing more, but another one struck her at the bottom of her rib cage near her stomach. The force of the bullets knocked backwards and she landed on the ground on her back. Kate simply lay there as the gun shots stopped and the soldiers ran right past her, leaving her to die on the concrete....

(Soliel - Claire Francisca)
While in mid air Claire began to attack at the man's two shoulders, rendering them from attacking, like a gorilla leaping to do a impact with both arms, she began to notice that Che tried to swipe a sword to her throat but failed as his sword began to peel off all at once. What a fool, nothing can get past this field! But seeing that the man didn't give up he began to extend his fist in a wad of paper coming towards Claire at full speed. Finding it laughing she began to continue with her attack and slammed her both arms with the two silver gauntlets she still felt the force and was brought back by Che's impact of his fist. Sending Claire flying back, she began to do something original. By changing the formula of her shape structure she started to create a ball form around her, it was like 1ft away from her on each angle as she started to curl up she began to ride the force of the impact spinning like a ball, she started to increase the speed and began to turn a bit while re-directing the path to the right, as she would begin to pass the wall. In mid moment she popped out from a ball form, and began to do a front flip as she used a pillar for her footing so she could projectile herself towards Che with a fist. Bringing back her Field to its normal state she was going to try that battle simulation that she did back when she was a test subject in the testing facility.

Sabrina looked over at Timothy and smiled. "Okay I have no problem walking" she said silently as they began to walk. As the rocks and glass were hurting Timothy's feet, Sabrina closed her eyes as the rocks began to move and grass began to blossom. "I can see how walking barefoot could hurt" she said to him with a smile and went silent as she walked keeping most of her thoughts to herself.
Noel was continuing to clear the streets of the city. Seeing her wrath, a lot of people decided to run when she came near. Noel had never been a woman to use her powers or status to intimidate people but she had to, to save more lives than kill. So if that meant she had to kill in order to save more people...she would.

Cecilia destroyed the gurder from the building that flew towards her with a cosmic blast, which caused the steel gurder to shatter into many shards, which were then absorbed by the pockets of gravity, which was like a pre-evolved version of a black hole, small, but very powerful. The Cosmic Owl knew that she had to act fast if she wanted to avoid being absorbed into oblivion. There was not much that Cecilia could do. If she didn't act fast, she would be crushed, never to be part of this world again. Gathering the force of gravity around herself, she began to increase it forcing her body to become heavier and making it more difficult for her to become sucked into one of the pockets. Focusing on the many tiny pockets, she began to reverse their force of gravity making it more lighter rather than dense in attempts to stop them from their assault on the city and her.

"You've no idea..." Timothy replied to the green tinted woman behind him. Walking barefooted had it's ups and downs, but more downs when there was glass and rubble about. Thanks to the Earth Herald's efforts through, Tim no longer had to chew through the slight pain he felt. He nodded in gratitude, but kept his vision on the path. There was Noel staving off Owl after Owl using just her strength alone. Timothy had to admit, the woman and her powers were impressive, but now it was time for her to step down from her throne for good. Knowing that she would sense the low output of energy within the torrents of it she was facing, he began to charge a nice little bolt that would be massive once it was loosed. Looking back to Sabrina now, Timothy beckoned her, then whispered, "There she is....unaware that we're here. When she touches the ground, bring up the most toughest rock you can think of alright? I'll handle the rest..."
~~~
Soliel's figured finally reformed off on the other side of the room near the hallway's entrance. Water was starting to fill the place slowly. The level of it was nearing his mid-section, but stop in the middle of his thigh. Watching Lucien tear through his single ability once more brought him to a realization about the man. He would need more than just himself to defeat him and right now, he lacked the means of doing so. The blonde, red-eyed devil knew what his weakness was, but Lucien didn't. Only his Negation was saving him for it was the pseudo-weakness to probably all elements. That was great. It was the only thing keeping the little b*****d alive and Soliel could see this in his reliance upon it for offense and defense. The periodic table too was on his side, but the Phoenix enforcer knew that power would prove useless as he closed in more and more. This battle would see him being the victor...Soliel knew he had to retreat.
The new suit Lucien crafted using Negation and carbon mirrored Thomas's but thanks to the universal evolution of the Great Four's powers, it didn't stink and it wasn't cumbersome. Soliel gave Lucien credit though because hadn't it been for the carbon shaping the material, it may have just been a drippy mess. When the technical innovator shot his wires, Soliel sidestepped. What he found behind him though wasn't what he'd expected. Bemused eyes sat upon a man, dressed in complete black, was over him with a knife coated in some dark-green liquid. When the wires hit, they pierced him, sailed through him and connected against the hallway's opposite wall. "The UNS....they're here in....in mass amounts..." Soliel could finally focus on the waves in the earth. Marching was an army towards their very area. Hundreds....thousands....there were too many to face and thanks to their weapons, they were impossible to beat.
"It's been fun kid, but I have to leave. If you want to live, I suggest you do the same. Adios." A fist of magma broke away the wall of the basilica giving a path to the outside. Soliel took it leaving Lucien and Che to fend for themselves. Now...the Magma Owl was on his way to Raven to warn her. If they were going to live, then they needed to make their leave immediately.
~~~
Che knew that with the water Viktor made and the field Claire was producing, this fight wouldn't be easy especially since his main mode of offense was being negated. The field restricted the manipulation of other substances so that meant his electrokinesis card was out of the question. He still had super speed, elasticity, phasing and flight left in his hand. Seeing that he'd hit the girl through a wall brought a smile to the paper gundam, but when she rolled back onto the battle field, Che scowled again. At least she could take a hit. Being a Fallen Phoenix meant that you could.
The Italian dodged the girl and at the same time dodged a bullet. The girl had no guns though, so where did that come fro-"Che Presidiomni!" called a rather masculine voice. "You are to cease what you are doing, and proceed with us to Russia! Do you under--" Che already knew what was going on. This was above all the last thing he needed to see or hear today. His own company along with the Russian army had found him and now they wanted him. Too bad. Che was not about to be taken prisoner today. Looking over to Claire, Che blazed past the girl and picked her up over his shoulder. He may have hated her guts, but he didn't hate her enough to leave her to suffer by the hands of the ruthless Europen Government or the UNS that worked within it. Beneath his other arm was Viktor, the newest addition to Noel's little band of Owls.
"Lucien!" Che called as he streamlined over the water's surface. "Lucien! Get up! We have to go! Now!"

Sabrina nodded as she focused on Noel. A part of her felt bad for the god OWL. She seemed so meek the other times she had came into contact with her. She didn't know Noel's full story but she could tell that this woman was a sad one. Once Noel touched the ground, Sabrina sent a prayer for the woman and stomped her foot. The road began to shatter as pillars of rock came crashing through, surrounding Noel like a cobra, holding her hands, arms and legs together, the rock wrapping around her neck as well. Sabrina looked at Timothy with nothing to say.
