And hit him it did. Ike was flung backwards, his head twisted to the side much to far to be natural. For awhile, the flames Ike had created died down, and Ike was still, except for the blood flowing. But soon, a faint, shaky laughter was heard, it grew louder and louder as Ike stood up, twisting his deformed head back in place. One whole side of his skull was crushed in, and blood was flowing at an alarming rate, but Ike didn't seem to notice or care. "Foolish mortal." He laughed, "Did you not understand when I said, 'only one of the Seven can kill another'?"
Llia gasped with horror at Ike's broken skull. Part of her heart reached out to him, and she had a very hard time of keeping herself composed. "Estella is too weak. I---I'm the only one who can kill Ike." She said, tears again forming in her eyes. "I have to end this, before it gets too far." She began walking, as if in a trance, to the circle of flames. The flames receded from her as the hem of her skirt touched them, Llia kept walking, untouched by the flames. "May... May I borrow you're sword?" She asked Nevek, who had been struggling with his bleeding arm most of the time. Nevek handed it to her without hesitation, somehow recognizing Llia...
Llia continued in her translike walk. She went to Ike, the tears about to break from her eyes. "I loved you." She said, in a faint whisper, "I loved you, and this is how you repay me?! By stealing my magic and hurting my sister's only child, my niece?! Killing the rest of the seven?! Hurting innocent people and creatures, just to get what you want?! You aren't the same, Ike... You aren't the caring, reckless, charming man I fell in love with..."
Llia was the one person Ike truely was afraid of. Up until now, he had no doubt that she would obey his wishes. He had no reason that she would rebell against him, infact, is plan had run smoothly up until now. "Llia... Please, don't do this. I'm trying to achieve a better good!" He stuttered nervously, "He wanted to shut us down for good! I only tried to stop him! You know I still love you..."

"Oh, I understood it perfectly, which was one of the reasons I wished to fight." said Lang, having landed on the ground. "You see, I'm always just the distraction."

Faylabelle had followed Llia. She wanted to protect if there was a need to. She had heard what Llia had said about where the magic should go."I can do that. Would you like me to do it now?"She asked after watching Llia and Fire have their conversation.
Torrance had watched everything from the balcony. He knew his place. This battle was not his. And he barely knew the people he was supposed to be helping. He stayed there and waited for the outcome.

"Do it whenever you see fit." Llia whispered back, edging closer to Ike, the sword ready in her hand.
Ike was too nervous to think, he tried in vain to come up with some kind of plan, but nothing came to him. "Llia, please, you don't want to do this," He begged, holding his hands in front of him like some kind of protection.
"I want to stop what you've started. If this is the only way, then so be it." Llia said, coming very close to Ike now, the point of the sword on Ike's chest, right above his heart...

Fay took that chance to begin the transfer. She murmured the spell, holding the staff pointed at Fire. a small orange ball of light could be seen coming out of Fire. The light moved slowly towards Estella. Once that one was in, another orange ball of light began to move out of him. This continued to happen.

"Wha-what's happening?!" Ike cried, seeing the orange ball and feeling weaker. "What are you doing?!"
"Taking back what you stole." Llia said rather coldly, "We wont spare you one drop."

Faylabelle only nodded as she continued to course her magic to remove his powers and transfer them to Ella.'This is going better than i'd hoped.'She kept and eye on Ella as she did this, just to make sure nothing went wrong.

Llia waited until she judged that most of Ike's magic had been transfered, then she pushed the tip of the sword against Ike's body until it drew blood. "Ike, you know I don't want to do this... But you've made me feel like I have no choice..." She whispered, her voice shakey, before she plunged the sword through Ike's heart.
Ike screamed in pain, falling backwards. "Ll--Llia.." He gasped as he fell, grabbing onto her arm with his cold hands, leaving large gashes from scratching her arms...
Tears fell from Llia's eyes without ceasing, she quaked in her sorrow. "I killed him... I killed the one I loved..." She kept repeating to her herself as she sobbed.

Lang didn't miss a detail of what happened. 'Ike...is gone now...' he thought, leaning against a wall.

Faylabelle waited until the sword was completely plunged before she stopped her spell. She saw Llia's shaking and watched her with a quiet concern and understanding. She walked over to Nevek and Estella. "How she doing?"She whispered in order to let Llia have some time to regain herself.
-Vixous was still knocked out.-

"It's hard to tell," Nevek replied, also in a whisper, "She's been poisoned by those flowers..." He pointed to the dropped bouquet with his good arm, he was still struggling with his right arm.
Posta had watched everything in silence, he was much too afraid of Ike to come down while Ike was raging, but now that he was sure Ike was dead, he flew down swiftly to Estella, every trace of his before drunkenness had by now completely vanished. "The poison's immiediate effect shouldn't last long, but she might have some trouble with deep breathing and holding her breath for long ammounts of time later on..." He said quietly, recognizing the flowers.
Estella's body was fighting the poison,and up until now she was losing horribly. But right as Ike fell, something in the poison stopped working, and she was able to fight it off, though not completely.

Fay examined Nevek's arm."do we have any way of fixing this?" She returning the staff to its original size and put it away.

Lang didn't move from the spot, he seemed to be glued there as he watched everything.

"Fixing what?" Nevek asked blankly, still more concerned about Estella than himself.

Faylabelle grunted with frustration."Your arm! dingle head! That's what needs to be fixed! And you couldn't possibly be able to carry Ella around with one arm wounded badly. You were having a tough time as it was."
