Welcome to Gaia! ::

((It's cool! Besides...it made it easier to make an introduction post. ;D))

The assassin anticipated a rebounding strike, her eyes followed the girls blade. Letting her limps go free, she fell straight down to her knees, narrowly avoiding having her head decapitated. She rolled back, letting out a soft hiss as she kicked herself into a backflip that landed on her feet.

"Ssso much better than that..." She let out another laugh of hisses before raising her head high, sniffing the air with quick breaths, "...A Guardian?" The assassin spoke, sniffing once more, her eyes flashing for a moment. Careful ears listened to the rustling of clothing and footsteps approaching behind her, followed by the whistle of a bladed weapon moving quickly through air.

With battle-hardened reflex's, she ducked backwards, moving her body in an abnormal way so that her legs appeared to be standing slightly straight up, as her upper half fell to the ground.

Caine's scythe would hit only air as the assassin would pull herself between his legs in seconds, hissing as she rolled back onto her feet and ran past him in a blur once more. She moved to the ridge, seeing where the smell of brewing dark magic dwelled, the scent of an ancient being could be sensed nearby. Peering over, her eyes gazed down at the gunbladist below, "Sssilence!" She cried, the Katar in her right hand glowing an instance before the spell launched at him, hoping to cease his chance of calling a Guardian Force.

Caine ran up behind the assassin and tried to strike her down, just like she had before but with about the same amount of success. He was no more successful in his attack than she had been in hers. If the assassin was not her enemy, she would have admitted to being impressed aloud and not just in her head.

"No!" Miles felt the weight of Silence spell as one of the worst things an opponent could ever do because she was so powerful with her magic. Regardless, she couldn't keep up and looked over the cliff in time only to see Alexandrov caught in the spell. Their leader recovered quickly, though, and he met them on the cliff.

She was never more upset that she didn't know Esuna and as serious as she was before, the Silence spell only fueled her focus. If he could still fight, then so could she.

Miles thought it best to avoid any more casting unless it was needed. Instead, she tried again to disable one of the assassin's arms by aiming for the shoulder this time.

((Oh, in that case, you're welcome, haha.))

((Yikes! Sorry for the delay, guys!))

The assassin hissed a laughter as the one below didn't have time to cast his precious Guardian after her. The mans machine payed off after all...

Her well developed ears caught the sound of rushing footsteps behind her, but it was too late. Her head turned in time to see the bladed weapon striker her shoulder. Letting out a loud screech of pain. Electrical sparks emitted from the fresh wound, and within a millisecond of the strike to her shoulder, the assassin kicked her foot behind her, aiming to strike her heel into the abdomen of her attacker.

It was then she spun 'round, her head twitching to the right slightly before lifting her one arm in a diagonal, horizontal swing, twisting her body to knock the incoming Scythe out of the way.

She needed to get some distance...all her opponents infront of her so she could end this. Moving in a blur once again...though slower than before, the wound on her shoulder continued to jolt electrical sparks down her arm beneath her cloak. She moved so her back was to the cliff edge now, her glowing eyes casting between the attackers, "You are trying my patience children..." She hissed, trying to lift her one arm, but failed in doing so as more sparks whizzed from the wound she sported.

Caine lets out a frustrated grunt as his second attack misses, and follows her as the woman retreats to the cliff. As Alexei attacks from the right, Caine comes at her from the left with a swift, shallow attack this time, instead of aiming with the slower, wider-swept killing blows he had been attacking with further. He was hoping his swifter attacks, though less fatal, would weaken her, and considering how much slower she was after Miles' hit, he figured it was a pretty decent strategy.

Standing by the cliff edge proved useful as she glanced at the silenced one who charged at her right, the other with the scythe moving in on her left. Were they going to try and pincer her? The assassin wouldn't have it.

But the amount of speed she had just lost proved to be too great when she could only turn to catch the silenced one who clocked in on her fast. Her still working arm swung upward, striking the incoming gunblade away, while her right foot kicked out simultaneously, aiming to dislocate the gunbladist right shoulder.

It was then a sharp pain erupted from her back, sparks ignited from the impact of the scythe, causing her to hiss once more. The armor she wore stopped the blade from entering too far...but it still hurt like a b***h. With not enough time to think, She cast her head back, aiming to look at her attacker, "Blind!" She cried, her eyes flashing almost as bright as the sun.

Caine smirks as his attack hits, but it quickly fades as the assassin counters with a blind spell. It hits the mark, and he stumbles backward slightly as everything is suddenly plunged into darkness.
'Damn... I can't use my weapon or I'll risk hitting Alexei in it's range...' he thinks, carefully stepping backward a few feet. He wanted to get out of striking distance. Though Alexei couldn't use magic, he could still fight, and Miles was still behind him too and fully able to attack. He'd give her a chance to get in and distract the woman.
'Lilith, it's time,' he thinks, drawing his power to summon his Guardian.
"Got it. You can count on me," she replies, eager to get a chance to fight.
The air around Caine grows darker and slightly hotter as he begins to summon. He tries to call her as quickly as possible, hoping Alexei and Miles would distract the woman long enough for the summoning to be completed.

Damn it! She could smell another Guardian! When her foot connects with the mans shoulder, she grinned for a second before she caught his right hand coming up, her attempt to dislocate his shoulder a failure.

Using him a leverage, she extended her good arm at him, "Thundaga!" She cried, her voice echoing as the powerful spell rained down from the sky, aiming to strike the silenced warrior down. But not wasting anytime, she heaved herself into the air, pushing herself off the silenced one and into a backflip.

But as she did, she didn't sense the girl charging, and received the lung into her calf, the spot least protected by her armor. Sparks and currents whizzed out of the new wound. The assassins back flip failed when the blade struck her calf, her eyes flashing when she landed hard on her back, groaning out a hiss.

Without her legs...she couldn't fight back anymore, "Defeated...Never wasss...I defeated." Her eyes looked up at the man who was summoning his Guardian. What else could she do? Taking a deep breath, she hissed, her head twitching slightly as a smoky vapor released from the slits over the mouth of her ironclad mask.
