Fleur's Team battle against Syndicates

[13:19] Before those who were approaching could reach what was about to happen between Champloo and her wife, the Witch seems to fade into a black miasma that reforms before both of them.. Fleur especially, holding Tenebrae Aeterna between them, the weapon reeked of Witchcraft and Occult.

"Tsk... They're going to play their game, and since now you're here.. We're going to play ours." Those scarlet hues turn a blazing blue, shadows peeling from her form like so much smoke.

"Prepare yourself, I beat Andrew senseless after he challenged me, and you share his aura... how will you fare..?"
(Alyssa Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:21] He sighed, he just wanted to sit on a bench. And stare at nothingness since he was blind, though he did mesmerize Aki's scent. And then once more, he sighed.

"...You're, the one person who cursed me. Hello." Then, a blank gaze was drawn to Alyssa, or Paradox. Whichever. And, he only shook his head. "You're the one, who ripped both my arms off." So, he went and unsheathed his Wind Carrier.

"...How's life?"

He sighed once more, after hearing Andrew was beaten senseless. He's only beat the guy once. Not like, it scared him. Still the cocky idiot he always was.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:24] … Sometimes he really wondered why he woke up in the morning. This was one of those moments where he questioned things, of course. Why the Knights did nothing these days-- Why there was no one else going on about how the Witches still needed to be stopped.

Such was life.

Cassius waddled on up beside Fleur as the Shadow magi stepped forth with her staff. Like it or not he'd have to deal with this one way or another - Lest Fleur go running off like a fool again. Crackles of golden mana ripple off from his knuckles as the chocolate hues remain focused on Alyssa.

"You or myself first, Fleur?"
(Cassius Otho)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:26] Making her way over towards what she assumed to be some form of attack on Osrona. Since things appeared to be dying down and settling she would only assume it a prime opportunity for these.. people to appear. Being a Knight herself of the Order. Fleur took it upon herself to uphold what she would fight for. Light and all that is good in this world. With the will to protect those friends and family alike she would task forward.

Now eyeing the woman before her. Fleur just stared with a slight annoyed look in her expression. First clowns.. now witches and people of evil alliance.

"This is a pain.. more so than it could be later on so. Let us just begin shall we, I don't think you've met me. I'm not Andrew. I hold no forgiveness for those who follow darkness. The question is... How much light can you withstand?"

She now let her newly made Arcanium staff come forth to incite Holy retribution. Looking over to Cassius.

"Hmm.. You can take lead Dad. I'll follow behind shortly after. Please don't be reckless either.. Hm?"

Fleur would state as she followed behind.
(Fleur Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:38] Rushing the Occultist first, a wave of her clones would break free to occupy Fleur for a few moments.. long enough for she and Cassius to engage one another properly.

Holy fists and Occultic claws collide in a flash of polarizing magics, but it was surely clear that the Kurokaiyo held the advantage, the dark powers that gave her strength gave plenty.

Slowly wearing him down, her own body healing as she sapped his life essence away... "Cute.. but not the first Exorcist I've dealt with." Her hand snaps forward, extending into that umbral claw to grasp him by the neck.

Sucking, he'd feel his vision dimmed as he was drained nearly dry... but the Witch not forgetting about her other opponent cast him to the side, to the stones..

He couldn't fight anymore anyway for the moment.

Turning her attention to Fleur who pierced the last of those clones, her voice emerging after a maddened cackle. "Lights always die lass, they burn for a time then flicker out.. Darkness is eternal, and you'll do well to remember that."
(Alyssa Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:42] Kicks were tossed, punches thrown, and the presence of the stars did their best to safeguard the man as he went through the motions of a fight. Where there was corruption there was purification-- Yet the fight barely lasted long enough to continue as he's promptly snagged by the throat.

Welp, there went some of his life. Holy and Occult collided but Cassius was no match for the mage; Promptly tossed aside like a ragdoll. With little to no ability to move he'd just lay there, a pained expression held on his mug as he was forced to look at the cobblestone road.

He gave it his hardest at least. Fleur might be able to do something, but for now? The Otho could to little beyond just recovering from having his life sucked from him.
(Cassius Otho)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:47] As she watched on as Cassius had fought with all he had and now getting sucked of some of his Life force from this... Witch. She could only watch as he was tossed aside. Hopefully he would recover in due time as it should be. With her emotions in check and anger beneath her outer expression of a more relaxed view. Fleur made her way now to combat that which she prepared her whole life for.

Darkness. Shadows. Evil...

All of which threatened to consume that which she strived to light. A beacon for those who lack the knowledge for a right path. It time to pierce the veil of darkness.

"Alright then. I have already went agaisnt my beliefs to end a similar darkness that came here. Once more I shall not let such things threaten the positive outlook of those who cannot even defend themselves. Kraus forgive me. Let your will be done."

She stated before adorning her staff.

The Last Light.
(Fleur Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:50] ** Alyssa Kurokaiyo has inflicted an injury upon Fleur Sanctum. ("Permanent Injury", "Permanent Injury", "Permanent", "Severity: MODERATE (-10 Vit)") **
[14:00] It was clear from the moment it began that Fleur was a master of her magics, unfortunately, so was the Witch. Darkness poured across the ground, the encompassing dome of Holy trapping her... It was quite the strategy, but even as that cosmic radiation threatened her she seemed to partially dissolve...

No matter what Fleur did the Witch proved not only hard to hit, but hard to damage. "Hahaha.. You can't 'end' darkness girl, you can merely staunch it for a bit." Replying to part of what was said as her claw sent the Cosmic Magi flying, but she manages to recover a few moments later.

"You asked how much light I could withstand lass, but I have a question for you.." The woman flickered off into that black miasma once more, only to reform in a split second before Fleur.. That shadowy claw plunging into her chest. "How much darkness, can your light keep away.."

Like hot fire pouring through her body the Witch's claw grasps that soul barrier, raking along it's surface and marring it with that Helheim-blessed Occult.. It was a violation not just of her body, her mind, but her very soul.

Some of that darkness bleeding through, forcing the Sanctum to not only question her beliefs, but she would be tempted towards a darker path until it was healed.
(Alyssa Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:09] As the battle began she allowed her Cosmic to rain down Meteors upon the very field as well as her Holy Magic clashing the Darkness at every angle. Until however.. Shadows began to play a part in this clash. He ability to move throughout the darkness proved to counter he aggressive style of magical output. Fleur had to withdraw but to know avail she was met with a claw of darkness. Slamming into her body.

"Tch.. I hate Clowns. As much as I hate Witches and Occultists."

Before regaining her composure she would attempt the same tactic only to fail once more. But this time... now the claw would enter her very being. Draining at the very essence of her being. Fleur could only hope the feeling of Darkness and enveloping feeling of Shadows would end. Allowing herself the rest of her energy to even stand she would will herself to look towards both present with absolute resentment for those who followed Darkness.

"All in due time.. You will both meet your ends. Light will never stop until Darkness is no more."

She stated as she made her way to Champloo to leave the scene.
(Fleur Sanctum)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:19] While they're fight ended, Champloo was already making his way over to Fleur. Barely staying awake dew to the heat that circulated around in his body. Using his sword somewhat like a walking cane as well.

"...Agh… Fleur... Ya alright..?"

Even under his clothes, his injury was being shown. A bright heat emanating from his chest, horizontally. Basically burning his insides. Which, hurt like hell. He couldn't even cool it off with his wind magic.

Just, another forever scar, yay...
(Champloo Borin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[14:19] Watching her wife dance ever so elegantly with her shadows she defeated the holy woman quite easily and the other boy as well. They both sustained only minor scratches from battle and soon it was all over.

Waltzing up behind her wife and swooping her off her feet holding her firmly within he grasp. Aki's flames envelop around Alyssa's frame as well.

"Good job my love...now we shall take our leave." Slowly she steps back fading off into the darkness of Osrona.

"We'll be back.." She said two defenders of Osrona. They all would meet their same fate soon enough. This was only the start of their attacks.

"Osrona will burn...all of you will burn and meet you're fates remember my words and remember that pain you feel today as it will only get worse." She spoke with hate behind those words
