She blinked at him in no particular manner. "You know not how it truely works." There should of been arrogant superiority in that voice, but as in the old days it was totally devoid of anything that should or could be there. And back to defending against his blade again before Larissa seemingly came to her aid and took over.
"Aiden, the dragon, and protect yourself."
Her next target given to her, she turned her attention on Logan, brandishing weapons and flaring wings before she let them drape over her shoulders a moment adn then flared with fire, disappearing and leaving her with another set of armor covering shins, forearms, shoulders, back and chest, looking to be made of solidfied fire, and a red chainmail off the shoulder midrift style shirt with a short red chainmail skirt, though this set was less covering than her original set. Oh look, another little trick of hers that was new. She stared at him a moment before charging him.

Well Logan was having a hard time trying to pick a target to battle with while running over to help Janus, either he picked the nymph and had to worry about Janus killing him if he wounded the man's wife, or he picked Aiden and had to worry about wounding her and maybe even killing her; the choices were just perfect! Though it seemed that his choice on the matter was already decided when Teon called out to Aiden to watch out for him, and so it seemed like the two lovers were to actually fight in this battle. "Oh this is just perfect..." He muttered as he quickly put on the brakes and stopped in a second, only to see Aiden transform herself yet again to see that she now has armor now made out of solid fire which would prove to be a real difficult task for everyone right now. "Actually let me correct that...this is perfect..." Though he looked down at Aiden's weapons to check the blades, what metal were they made out of? Well from his guess it was steel...so at least he lucked out on that since his dragon arm and the right side of his body should be protective since the scales will be hard to peirce through with steel. "Aiden..." He started but wasn't even able to get his second word out when suddenly she just charged him. "Aiden listen to me!" He shouted as he brought back his dragon arm to defend himself when she swung her blades.

Vines. that was all Larissa had, and he didn't have to look but once to know what was going on.
"Die? you don't have the power to kill me, Larissa."
strangulation..nothing of concequence. his body was wreathed in flame, white fire, hot enough to melt metal with the easy of a dry leaf, and he stayed wreathed in it. adn then...translocation. over near Teon, still enveloped in fire.
"You know, this is getting ridiculous. you can't win, becuase eventually Aiden's either going to wear out, or the others, particualrly one Elder, is going to get annoyed and such and even you can't fight that one, even with Aiden's power. "
So back to this again.
"So right now we have a few options. I can just reachout and grab you..actually, I probably won't need to do that. about a few steps closer and the heat alone will probalby start blistering your skin. it'll hurt. and Aiden's fire won't stop me from walking right through it. and your little drugs can't resist this kind of heat.."
Idly waving his hand.
"Or, we can play nice, you can tell us what you want, and we can come to some sort of comprimise or arrangement that may or may not get you killed anyway. because humans like you always want more power. and honestly, the kind of power your going to reach for your mortal frame simply will not be able to handle."
Though on another note.
"Hey Logan...don't you have something you need to show Aiden?"
that might work..or replacing the necklace may put a kink in Teon's control.
"So..what's the game plan, sparky?"

Teon gave a chuckle. "Seems he cares not for you as much as it would seem my little nymph." But his attention turned to Janus as he was there again and again Teon didn't look too worried. "Tell you what I want? What if I merely want nothing? What if I want everything? Ki'Taal in the hands of the humans again? Maybe that's it? Perhaps you can't give what I want."
Aiden clearly wasn't listening. Proof in how she just kept coming at him, be it slashing or kicking, all with fire laced through her motions. Though a slight look of distraction up to Teon and she threw herself at Logan to knock him down again before a fire flash found her in wings again and her sights turned to Teon and Janus, jumping up into flight and grabbing the man on a quick fly by and thus away from Janus, holding into him as she more or less hovered with even flaps in the air.
"Good girl." A chuckle. "As you said yourself, War God, I am always her prime directive. "Larissa, come. Aiden...let's turn up the heat." Getting a nod from the girl as she descended, she took defensive posture in front of teon, but as soon as Larissa came close, she turned cold amber eyes on her, fire slighting in her own eyes...that then seemed to alight in Larissa's as well before Larissa's figured alit with sacred fire as well...except it was blue, the fire around Aiden herself and Teon as well also changing colors. In addition, she handed Larissa a chakram. Aiden's apperance also changed slightly, her hair fading into blues and the plummage of her wings fading to blues as well. "Very good...you don't need your voice do you? No, just a look can do it. Bet they didn't think you would get close enough for that." And a look up to Janus. "And she is more formidable for your own fire than you think. A blue fire phoenix, did you know they could do that?"
Isle growled. This was not working! She couldn't get off a single shot while that fire was around them...she kenw the moment it hit the fire it would melt, since it appeared to be wholly defensive. Janus, Logan that fire is too hot for me to get at any of them. I can't get Larissa loose and I can't get at Aiden. Long as she can pull that trick we're stuck in this loop. Sacred fire doesn't tire. We have to come up with a different plan than you two going after them in your own ways, organize some.

Larissa turned and gazed at Teon for a moment before looking back at Janus. When her name was called and the order issued she obeyed woodenly and unemotionally walking over. He could have ordered her to stand still while he burnt her to a crisp and she would have done it. She stared at the others even while fire leapt about her, the hottest fire seh had ever encountered. She was still under the influence of her previous order though and she lifted that chakram and studied it for a moment then her whip materialized in her hand and she swiftly ordered the vines to fuse themselves to it.

Janus looked over at Logan, and then back at the trio.
"Logan. give me that necklace, and give it to me right now."
Walking down the cliffside casually, fire dying around him.
"Teon, tell me something. do you know what power I have now in my hand? do you know what this blade is fully capable of?"
holding up the now massive Chaos blade...the thing was like a something you'd see only in a child's drawing of a superweapon. holding the other hand out to logan for that necklace.
"this world is full of grandeur. it's full of wonders and surprises. your control of Aiden, your Alchemical expertise is only one such wonder of human hands. I can name others...some even more impressive than your alchemy. But this, this blade...this is a thing beyond power. beyond good, and evil. I don't like using it's gifts, because well...sometimes they have really nasty backlashes."
"So what I want, is Larissa, and Aiden. You I don't really give a damn about. you'll grow old, you'll die. You've got no wife, or lovers, so you aren't about to sire a child that can spend thier life being trained in all that you know. Give me what I want, and I won't be forced to use this to it's full potential."

Well Logan was busy defending himself by using the only good thing against Aiden, his dragon arm, and every time she tried to strike him with her sword it just bounce right off the long green arm because of his scales which Logan thanked for privately. So he did his best to keep Aiden from landing any serious blows but at the same time tried to subdue her without bring her any harm, but with her fire around her body it was making things rather difficult. Though when Janus actually spoke of something that he had it made the halfling think a little and he smiled, Aiden's pendant, he almost forgot about that! But maybe Janus was right, maybe the pendant can actually help them hold Aiden at bay, so they'll just have to find now don't they? So just as he started to reach in his robes to grab it Aiden just threw herself into him and knocked him down on the ground before flying off to defend Teon against the now on fire Janus, so the halfling got to his feet as he watched what was going on above leveled ground, Aiden's new transformation, Teon's little boast and now Isle decided to make herself known again by complaining how she couldn't get a good shot to stop Aiden because of her fire. Well what the hell can we do? He thought as he stood in silence, though when Janus asked for the pendant he nodded and made his way over to where he was once he got down from the high ground; reaching into his robes he pulled it out allowing it to hang by his pinky finger, Logan stared at it for a moment before handing it over to Janus with a small nod. "Well at least you got a plan, just do what you can to get them back Janus..." And for a change the halfling was really happy to hear that the god wanted to get Aiden back, it made Logan respect the guy a little more and he smiled, though he had a feeling it was because of his wife now being under control but still it made him smile softly. Though for effect he raised his gun and pointed it at Teon's head smiling a little. "Hey it doesn’t matter how many times you change them, we will get them back and I will keep my promise to you..." He grinned lightly as he cocked back the hammer on his gun, he wasn't really going to fire at Teon's head, well not yet was just keeping his gun poised and ready just incased the others were to attack Logan and Janus or defend their new master.

A raised eyebrow. "So sure about that Janus? After all, I am rather on in my years, doesn't mean I wasn't lineage productive in my younger years now does it? You just think you know it all, don't you?" A shake of his head. "So then, you are willing to hurt them in order to get to me? Even kill them? For I assure you, you will have to go through them to get to me."
Teon crossed his arms and gave a snort of amusement. "I find it funny, half dragon, that you think that killing me is going to make anything better. What are these two to do when I am around to change thier orders? Right now, they are a path to protect and then kill...well, when they have nothing to protect...I'm sure you can imagine the rampage. Just thing...Larissa's ability to shift nature will crumble anything and Aiden can set the whole of Ki'Taal to flames. I'm sure they'd be very upset if you put that bullet in my head." Eyes shifting to Janus. "I suppose that applies to you as well, we both know you want me dead as well."

Larissa had her orders and she kept hold of the chakram ready to use it to defend herself if necessary. She noted the gun and something clicked in her brain. Walking over she put herself in front of Teon and crossed her arms waiting. Anyone taking a shot at Teon would have to go through her first, those were her orders, to protect and to kill. She drew a slash through the air with her hand and suddenly a deluge of leaves fell from the sky. She slashed her hand again and the leaves rose and gathered in a tornado and headed straight for Logan, looking to surround him. When they got closer he would realize quite quickly that they were razor leaves and as fast as they were moving, they would be doing quite a bit of damage.

As Logan stood near by Janus incase anything went the wrong way and he needed to help him the halfling just watched as Larissa decided to become a 'human shield' of sorts for Teon and it kind of pissed him off but then again she was under his control. "Everything's gotta work for that jack a** huh?" He asked and sighed lightly, well it looked like he couldn't even go to fire his gun so that little hand up was gone now. Though he had to find it odd that she would bring forth a large sum of leaves, but he had got his answer when the nymph made them rise up and gather into a tornado to which she sent down to him. Noting that there may be something wrong Logan just kept on jumping backwards to avoid the damn thing while he started to focus on using the magic to create a fire ball in his dragon claw. Once he was able to focus enough energy he raised his claw and right between the three fingers a fairly large fire ball appeared, smirking lightly he stretched his arm forwards and released the ball, knowing that once it made contact with the tornado it would light up and burn all the leaves because the fire wold spread and that would be the end of this for now.

Janus reached his hand out nad incinerated the leaves, before shrugging lightly.
"I don't care if you live or die. you mean nothing to me, and I would be just as fine if you were alive but unable to play at being a god. you know, cut off your hands, lock you up somewhere...things like that."
before looking at the necklace.
"you know what this was used for, I assume? how would you like to see it spawn more aiden's or phoenixes, free from your drugging, and all of them really pissed at you? shadows and shades of emotion that are as dangerous as your pet, but ethereal as sunrise?"
holding the blade right over the necklace.
"Just one possibility that coudl happen."

"As I said, I know you don't care and it really doesn't matter. They will do what they are told to do whether I'm here or not. That's the beauty of this." But a nod. "Made to keep her two sides in touch. I admit, ingenious device really...but that's all it is. Don't try to intimidate me with that...there is no emotion in there, no shadows...only facts and logic."
Isle rolled her eyes. Men, you couldn't ask them to do one simple thing, you had to do it yourself. No, they wanted to play and taunt. Now was not the time for what ifs and guesses. Therefore she set her gun down and drew out her longsword, making her way down from where she was.
Aiden looked over a split second before she was rammed into my a mithril clad elf and sword and the two of them went skidding across the ground. A fire flash found those wings gone and a quick slash got the elf off of her, only to have her jump right back into the fray...though for Aiden, Isle was fast and hard to ger ahold of, not to mention incredible agile. Pretty soon she was flinging fire.
"You're good Aiden, but not that good." Smith, alchemist, and a warrior, she was just a man's dream wasn't she? But she was indeed toying with Aiden, waiting for the right moment, taking a break that Aiden had left open to tackle the woman to the ground, locking an arm around her throat to hold her some as Isle rummaged for one of her own darts.
She put up a good struggled, flaring sacred fire and making it so that yes it would be harmful to the elf, and one could see the mithril of Isle's armor already melting from it. Though a hiss of pain and Aiden threw the elf off of her with a burst of fire that sent the elf into the nearest cliff face.
Oh that hurt...and that hurt bad. She cringed as she stuck to the rockface for a moment from the blast, before sliding down it, armor still melting though easily cooling now that there was no heat, and Isle sporting some burns and such herself. She grinned, looking at the dart that only had traces of cool metallic blue liquid in it. "Gotcha..." Though her attention turned to the bloody blue wolf who padded up to her. "You win yours?" A look over to the dire wolf who was currently getting back up. "Nope. Tough bugger."

Larissa was supposed to protect Teon not Aiden so she did not go to Aiden's aid when Isle appeared. Instead she turned her sights on the men. They would die. Teon was fine so she could leave his side. One second she was there, the next she was gone and then growing up in the middle of two was a giant tree reminiscent of a huge willow tree. Picking up her roots she stomped on the ground then her whiplike leaves began to slash at both of them at frantic speeds and she bowed over to slam a branch in the spot each male was standing. She was mother nature and she was pissed. Other trees appeared out of seemingly nowhere and began to attack as well though she was the biggest and most dangerous. Ten in all surrounded the small party and stood there before they too picked up their roots and began to stalk towards their prey. They had no problems bending until it seemed like they would snap and sending branches towards any standing.

Janus smirked let Larissa do what she wanted. she coudln't hurt him. vines and wood simply burst into flame on contact to his superheated skin. he only had to brace her branches mostly.
"Memories, Teon. information of the mind is made of memories. one seeing, adn the sight passed through to another. and your dealing with chaos energy. the stuff the fabric of space and time is made of. So we're both right. there's chances that I cut this, and we get a hundred aidens. adn there's odds that I hit this and nothing happens. but just to prove the point...lets see what happens when I do this."
and that blade got launched, hard, and fast almost a blurring blaze of multicolored energy right into that Dire wolf. alchemically created wolf, meet chaos theory potential ripping through your body. might be fun to see what happens.

Well Arthur was kind of worried of the effect that might happen if Janus were to cut the pendant but his attention was drawn to Isle when she entered the battle, it seemed that they weren't able to do what she wanted so now the elf had to get own hands dirty. But before he could actually see the end of the battle Larissa decided to attack again and since he didn't want to bother Janus for help he decided to just defend by his own means, whe she lashed out her leaves Logan did his best to doge though he was cut at some points, a branch or two was blocked by his dragon arm and tossed away with no problem. He did his best and even attacked the trees that she created, setting thier roots on fire with his magic, hey she maybe abke to contorl platns but he had the thing that they hated the most and he would use it to defend his life as much as he can. Note to self if I ever get out of this battle alive I should make sure to never piss off Larissa... He thought with a light smile as he tossed away another branch that fell across his body, he may be injured but with his healing power working over time he can still go on until she knocked him out one way or the other.
