Welcome to Gaia! ::

L waited silently near Che while he had his reunion before making himself seen again. "As much as I'd like to kill Thomas myself, I think I'll gO with Moli. Don't need him dying after Kate was so nice to save him earlier." L rubbed his head grinning dumbly as something worked out for once. Nathaniel was just another of them many reasons to hate the old death owl all the more.
The light herald turned to Moli putting a hand on his shoulder. "besides, goin with Moli he nmay be able to pick up some more stuff, kill two birds with one stone....oh and Che, do get in a hit on Thomas for me"

Timothy looked at the two superpowers before him. Their aura were the same almost....changing constantly like the view of a kaleidoscope. The one his left though, DeLeon had a dark, somewhat more volatile aura. It seemed as if his energy was comprised of souls that were taken far before their time. He knew the method by which the young owl gathered his abilities and it was only fitting that even his aura wanted to break away from him for it. Roulin's aura, on the other hand, began to act strangely. It was swirling like a tornado and gave off a distinct shine while doing so. It was bright, but it was nothing that would blind the Spectral Owl.

"No, no, by all means child, leave this fight and attend to your fallen friend atop that building. Down here, you'll be nothing but in the way of your friend Lucien." Timothy jeered. He could tell that Roulin wasn't as focused as he should be. At fifteen percent of his concern was focused into a bubble around Cecilia...the herald would certainly use this to his advantage. The attack he'd formed with his left hand was complete finally. They'd seen it before...a small spark of lightning that would chase someone around until they finally stood still. If they were still for too long, they'd be fried. This was Roulin's personal spark. The next one, that Tim started working on immediately, would be for Cecilia.

The metal man returned his attention to the fight...or moreso to the car headed toward him. He caught it in a magnetic grasp and grinned before smashing the car down into the piece of rubble that was hurtling toward him. He hadn't seen the ball of energy float past him which was why the exploding car behind him caught him by suprise. It knocked his forward onto the ground. Roulin continued the attack by stomping, causing a square shaped stone to shoot up from the ground into Tim's chest. This threw him backwards onto the burning remains of the car....

(They're in a stone tunnel. Not a building.)

Che was now slowly making his way down the stone hallway that was Raven's little bunker of sorts. The former UNS leader was mad. The light blue licks of electricity that lapped against the walls, ceiling and floor easily gave that away. The somewhat jovial, yet sinister smile he wore for business was gone as well. What was replacing it now was an almost blank stare. What kept his face from being as stone plain as the surrounding area were his lips which were curved into a light scowl. The lights in the stone tunnel flickered on and off in the wake of his shocking, usually held back ability. If there was anyone still down here, they'd know he was on his way...

Thomas watched as Amara dropped to the ground to avoid his attack. He withdrew his hand and aimed it lower this time. He wasn't going to miss again. Before he could attack her again, she'd bombed him with some type of immobilizing substance. Thomas' Negation was far too strong to be held back by that. It was quickly eaten through and his attack was on again. A second later and she was gone. It didn't matter though...for the biggest fish of them all was here ready to be fried. He wouldn't have his moment though. Before he could attack Noel, he was blinded, then thrown backward by an explosion. Raven had crafted the tunnel to withstand the forces of nitroglycerin explosions as well as many other types. The room Thomas was in was shaken, but not destroyed.

From the room came a high pitched cry that a virus might've made if it could produce sounds. Che instantly knew who it was. He found Noel at the scene of the blast. "No-Noel! Are you alright?" Che asked as he took off to her. The last thing he needed to see was her dead....that would utterly devastate The Night Owls. "Listen, I need you get out of here...get to safety....let me take care of this b*****d alright? Your team needs you down at the battlefield."

"RAAaahhhgoddamn it Noel!" Thomas' voice lowered from it's parasite like screech. His body had somewhat reformed as well. What was missing was his right arm which was slowly being reconstructed. Dark tendrils wrapped around each other multiple times, cracking and crunching as his bones were remade. "That little girl Amara sure packs a punch huh? Too bad she le--Che?" The Owl of Death froze when he saw the tall bushy haired Owl. His elongated jaw hung open at the sight of him. "Well now, just when I thought I killed you kid....you manage to reshape in this universe..."

The slight tremble in Thomas' voice was enough to let Che know that Thomas was more cautious now than he had been in the past year and a half. Good. Right now, Che was something to fear.

"My concentration is in the here and now Lucien. Don't worry about me." Roulin's brave words were nothing for Timothy was right. His mind was elsewhere....it had to be or else his partner was just going to lose more blood. The little sparkling cloud of electricity wouldn't help either. Now he had to keep Lucien safe, dodge Tim's attack and keep healing Cecilia at once. He'd trained for a moment like this with Dante and more extensively with his father. After adding his attack to Lucien's combination, Roulin began to brisk to the side to Timothy.

"Impressive you two..." Timothy said with a weak cough. It wasn't often that a Herald coughed or even felt pain from such a combination of elements. Still though, it was only a show of mortality. Timothy was still far from invincible. "Just as I thought....basic attacks, long combinations. That all you Owls are good at? Disappointingly impressive." The Herald stood and brushed himself off before looking at the two Owls. A smirk bent his alloy covered lips. "Now that I've see how you two fight, I think I can stop taking hits. Ready?"

Timothy stood perfectly still like the statue he resembled. For a moment, it didn't seem as though he had the ability to move anymore. Suddenly, a loud sonic boom emanated from the core of the herald. From his body, he'd created a thunderclap. The sound of it was so loud, it was easily visble to the two teammates. After the jarring attack, he unleashed a large bolt of lightning at Lucien. it's jagged patterns ensured that he wouldn't be going around it. Only away from it. To Roulin, he sent out hundred os metallic needles. The ammunition, of course, was the Herald's metallic covering. Within it, electricity was visible. From seeing this, Roulin had a plan, but he needed to keep Timothy busy for a while.

Ember listened quietly as she covered her nose and mouth from the dust, careful to keep quiet and calm so she would not give her position away to Luca before she knew exactly where he was. Dispite her element and temper Ember was very patient as she waited for any sign, and she smiled under her hand eyes staring in his direction as she turned her palm away from her face and set out a stream of fire in Luca's direction, "right here" she said and moved to jump back into the dust before something made contact with her back and Ember was suddenly riddled with pain as the shock convulsed through her body, muscles spazzed and she fell to the ground as the electricity passed. recovering quickly Ember caught sight of the culprit as she shifted her position, Itachi? she thought coughing as she moved to stand. "Well well welcome to the fray young one" she said shaking off the shock as she reached her feet, still aware of Luca above her.

((sorry))

Thomas's sight turned to Noel who had remained to help Che fight. A brave soul she was. After firing her arrow of white lightning down at him, Thomas held up and his hand. The bolt was captured and his wrist contained the resulting explosion. The man of darkness stood from the ground and slammed himself against the wall in pain. Holding his stomach still, he looked up at Noel through one opened eye and cought out, "After I'm done with that joke Che, I'm going to melt the ******** skin off of you girl!" Noel's arrow was still incredibly hot as it was the element of lightning. Using his secondary power, he ridded himself of the pain of her and Che's attack by spitting at her a gob of used up Negation.

Che had halted, then turned to find that Thomas was to his feet again. "Damn it...death doesn't die easily. You're pretty resilient for a spineless yellabellied coward...attacking women and what not." jeered the Mastering Owl in Thomas's southern drawl. In preparation for his next onslaught, Che charged up his own lightning. His fists and lower legs were now covered in the shining element. With a smile, Che vanished once again.

Thomas pushed himself from the wall, then was placed agains the wall once again by a right hook from the speeding Che. After the single hit, he was thrown through the thick stone covering the room Noel and Amara had just almost blown away. There were pipes and rods hanging from the ceiling now...no doubt their version of central cooling. This was his way out of there...the pipes. Just as he had done on the submarine...he was free. Free to live....

Che walked into the room that he had just knocked Thomas into. As long as he could keep on him and not give him a chance to move, he could kill him tonight. "Alright Noel, if you're going to help me, then you need to think of another way to attack this guy. Something hard, something fa---what the hell!" Thomas was nowhere to be found in the room. What gave his method of escape away was the sizzling rock on which he had stood. Che gritted his teeth before letting out a throat scratching yell. Fingers clenched, he reached for the pipe and yanked it down causing a chain reaction of sorts. The entire tunnel began to quake thanks to his hotheaded action. He could still feel Thomas in the pipes...he wasn't going to get away today and Che meant that. "Damn it....c'mon Noel, we've got to get out of here. We can take the way Thomas made when he attacked Amara!"

(Gonna post as Timothy soon.)

Itachi smirked as his blow connected with the fire herald and she noticed him. " Well its an honour to be addressed by the strongest fire user even if you didnt say my name. Herald of fire ember this should be fun." said itachi as he joined lucas attacks some of his own doing an ace kick sending a wave of lightning out from it at ember while also thrusting his hands forward ending out a burst of below artic freezing cold air at her knowing using hot air wouldnt effect her much due to her status as a fire herald. At the same time he used a burs tof flame from his left foot to dash to the left as he sent out a spitfire barrage of small yet extremly hot flames hot enough to burn thorugh rock and steel with ease. He didnt think any of that would do much but he needed to see how strong she was and how she fought before he could effectively fight her.
