Xian Coy Mahn So that's what he did? Is that why he killed all those people? Cause of what he was born? Do you think you and him could teach me how to control it but not let it control me? *looking worried* I love him, but I don't to be like that. Could you help me not to turn out like that? *looking at him*
"I'm sure we can teach you that... it's really not hard as long as you keep your mind clear of all intent to kill and the like.... though he and I have surpassed that... him for one reason and me... well I was forced to kill..." His smile faded only a second before reforming and hiding that pain.

Peach smiled grimly to herself as she witnessed the preparation for return of attack magick on Strange's part.
Now things are going to pick up to the next level... but this fight isn't even close to ending. Not yet.
With the knowledge that she'd be unable to diverse or preform any complex defense methods against the lightning magick, she had no choice but to hopefully deflect what she could of the attack. Stretching out her undamaged right arm, she flinched painfully as the lightning collided, and coiled around it - now glowing perilous purple from the lightning's hue. With one massive heave, she flung several of the lightning bolts away, however some remained and she screamed in pain from the shock. When the lightning faded, she collapsed to the ground, laughing maniacally.
"This fight... This fight..."
That was all she could manage to murmur. Stumbling back up, candy-pink tresses covering the majority of her face, she stepped forwards slightly, the hair sliding away and back into it's proper place. The eyes which were soon seen, were no longer tranquil glassy-blue, but deep scarlet with a swirrling mixture of gold. Once again she fell, this time forwards onto her hands and knees, breathing heavily - the same way she had when she sensed Shadows-copy's dark aura - a transparent, ghostly image of what appeared to be wings unfurling at her delicate shoulderblades, the repeative colours of scarlet and gold beginning to show themselves within the colourless plumage.
"No, not now! Not now! I didn't mean for this ..."
She cried out, and choked back the final words. With great speed she regained herself, and slashed at the air where the transparent wings were beginning to materialize. Slowly, they faded away into the air, and everything was back to normal. A grave look replaced the former insane emotion, and she suddenly seemed uninterested in what might happen next in the fight, as though what just happened took top pirority.

His eyes watched as Peach's energy spiked and fell back down. "Stay here for a second ok?" His eyes flashed black for an instant as he looked over at Xi.
He slowly rose to his feet as he walked towards Stranger and Peach, muttering words of power as the runes on his face and neck began to give off blackened smoke that trailed down his arms and accumulated around his hands as his eyes turned pure black.
He then held up his hand in a show to tell Stranger to hold for a second, "Peach..." He whispered in a cold tone as he stood close to directly between her and Stranger. "Peach..." He said with a bit of a warmer tone, "...if you cannot control your power please do not push yourself in this fight." He whispered to her as his words carried perfectly to her.
"I do not wish to harm anyone in this place, nor do I want to destroy anything of this realm..." He whispered with a heart felt tone. "I think... no, I know if you release that Pheonix, as you call it, it will destroy parts of this place... and I am sworn to not let that happen." His words slowly grew stronger as the aura of darkness began to grow in power.
"So if you cannot hold you power under control... stop now. There is no shame in admitting this..." He gave a strangely warm smile despite the appearingly evil aura that surrounded his hands and glowed in his eyes. "I speak from experience... and I'm sure he'll understand." He smirked as he glanced back at Stranger and gave him a knowing smile.
"So answer me now, do you wish to continue this fight?" His words were riddled with his serious intent. He did not want something destroying his home, nor harming his friends. The burned and blackened runes upon his arm poured out smoke, leeking energy from the void into his very being, ready for a lash of energy incase she had lost control of her power and his words were meaningless in trying to talk to the true Peach.

Peach took a deep breath, and took the quiet opportunity to carress her wounded left arm. Looking over at Shadows-copy with wide eyes - which were without so much a tint of the previous scarlet gold, and back to their original glassy-blue. She had accidentally let one clear droplet slid from those eyes, and then she wiped it away, quite frustrated.
"I ... I can control it... Sometimes. Not as well as she could, but it's responding to my pain and the vast amounts of dark energy in such a small area."
It was evident she wasn't going to quit the fight without successfully showing her worth to the guild. She was determined to become a mistress. Although her legs were still trembling, she stood boldly before Strange, the intent to fight burning within her spirit.
"I will not back down! The Phoenix Goddess is not an evil entity. Even if I was to transform... No harm would be done to anyone other then my opponent, and that's why I wish to prevent this from happening. I will not use the power of the Phoenix unless this was a real fight. I don't want to hurt anyone."

He smirked visibly and giggled, "That is yet something else I wish to protect... I don't want her doing any such damage to him. She might try and finish him off... which would then be a pain for me to resurrect him."
He stretched as he slowly began walking back over to the wall, "Just don't let it slip... all it takes for a greater power to take over is the smallest mistake." He whispered with a soft tone as he walked back over to Xi, Mai, and the new person who he has yet to talk to. the aura of power slowly fading as he whispers words of release to try and avoid most of the recourse of summoning the energy to his being.
"Just don't show the pain... don't show the pain..." He thought to himself as the runes and marks on his neck began to burn with a soft blue color and black smoke poured from it as he put on his best smile for Xi and the rest, "Ok... just wanted to make sure everything was... well... ok." He chuckled softly as his eye twitched slightly from the pain before going back to completely happy, or at least appearing so.

*watching what has been transpiring before him, instances that felt like an eternity. he looked at her carefully as he moved closer to her. feeling her pain in his mind as he tried to reach out and connect with her. his attempt forced back on him as she crumbled to the ground. making his way toward her, he is turned away as she began swinging wildly with her sword* What is going on here, young one? What is happening to you? *he tried to approach her once more but stopped upon seeing her stand up hurriedly. standing there, motionless, quite, and visibly concerned, he looked at her intently as she reasoned what was happening to her*
Let it go, my young friend. You do not have to push yourself to control it on my behalf. Let it go. Do not keep this kind of power under wing. Don't let it destroy just so you will not harm me. Release what you have in you. Nuture it's true nature. Attack me with it if you must. Do not corcern yourself with what will happen to me!!!
*he pleaded with her to not injure herself for his sake. he knew that it was a possibility that true injury would come from a sparring match. it is something that he has always believed would happen. as he knew there was no malice if it were ever to occur. he readied himself inside, he knew he was made of a stern will ... and that eevn if the injuries were to severe, his curse would not let him pass on* I can take it. I can't let her hurt herself on my account *noticing her pause in action, he took several deep breaths in preparation for something he might have to do* Dammit! Don't hold it in. Don't make me push you to release it. Do not do this to yourself. Not if you do not have to.
*his mind racing wildly, he gazed upon her wondering if she would take up his offer* I will push you to use it if you will not do so readily. If you cannot do so on your own accord, I will make you use it. I will not be responsible for your injuries. I will not let you hurt yourself because you were afraid to hurt me. A true warrior concerns not themselves for their opponent ... friendly or otherwise. Release your Phoenix Goddess or so help me, I will force her to come out! *lifting his swords up as they cracked with his energy. his wounds still bleeding out onto the ground. he pointed them at her throat from his distance, and puling one back ready to spear it at her* Just do it all ready!!! Don't make me do this!!! *he said now in his normal voice as he charged more energy into his weapon. odd as it was for it to be coming from within this armor he was wearing, it was his more calm self begging her now* Dark, know why I am doing this. She cannot injure herself on my account. She must let it go. Power like that must not be subdued. It will only make it more dangerous later. I know this from my own ... *hoping he is able to convey his thoughts to his friends in the stands through his open and clear eyes*

He let out a soft sigh with a slight smirk on his face, "I understand... but sooner or later she must learn to control it... but if she overwhelms you just say the word... I'll have a shield ready to stop the fight. I don't want to see you die just as I return, that and resurrecting you will make me a bit... difficult to be around for a little while afterward so don't get carried away..." He answered mentall as his smile widened as his left hand was ridden with the runes and tribal burn marks weaving like snakes around his wrist and fingers as he sat down and watched eagerly.
He had always taken precautions, even if he wouldn't let the combatants know. He smiled as his hand ran over the floor as he inscribed runes of power onto it, preparing a more powerful shield with each passing second, not knowing the true extents of Peach's power and he didn't want to be caught off guard. He has never had a shield be broken before, and he wasn't going to start now.

*looking towards his friends in the stands as he is ready to strike if he has to* She can learn to control it more here. In the guild. In the mean time, I do not want her straining herself on my account. Not if she doesn't have to. This Phoenix Goddess in her ... she will learn to control it here. You know that. But for now, I am curious to see what she can do. What she can really do. *he tells his friend, Dark, telepathically* As for me. Well, you know my curse won't really let me die. Not fully. You know I am banished forever from those realms. Hmm. I will be fine after a couple of days. But the main thing is, I don't want our new friend here injuring herself like this. Stars know there are plenty of opportunities for that to happen elsewhere around the guild.

"Yeah I remember..." He chuckled once more as he stood up and began to walk back out the door, "I don't want our fight to be uneven... me knowing your moves and stuff... send me a messenger when you finish with her..." He muttered in a rather dark tone from his mind as he looked down at Xi and back at the other two.
"I'm going to head to the lounge and wait for this fight to end, I don't want my fight with him to be one sided and all..." his lips twisted into a dark smile as he walked out, "You're welcome to join me if you wish..." He spoke to them all as he walked on out of the Dojo.

And lo! With a halo of light which silhouetted his body, Turriens, swashbuckler extrordinaire stood by the open door, the golden light of dusk at his back.
With a simple toss of his cape to the side, he made his entrance, stepping through the doorway. Without the light to hinder one's sight, the ever popular swashbuckler was not as great as one would thin, being dressed in a pink shirt with a purple and silver plaid vest and an overly large sized hat and equally large plume, he seemed rather flamboyant, not at all heroic in the least.
"Huzzah!" He said upon his entry, wandering into the building not really paying attentoin to whats going on. In fact, having been outside, he had made a random decision to enter one of the many large building, which would happen to be this one.
((Wow that was so gay...))

*reverting all the way back to his normal self, blood still flowing from fresh wounds, a look of extreme confusion*
Where did you go? Where are you? We aren't finished yet.
*looking around, he finds no one but himself in the area. somewhat humiliated and angered, he walks away from the arena*
What the hell. I need a drink ...

(( I'm terribly sorry about my absense. If you must know, I've been grounded the past two weeks, and right now I'm in the middle of exams... Well actually the last one is today but... In any case, as soon as I can afford to, I will post and we will continue our little sparring match. However, that is currently out of the question until such events occur. I hope this delay does not change anything immensely. Thank you for your patience. >w< ))
