[19:15] {NARRATION} Cap of 2. Dangerous.
[19:15] Setzer says, "Alrigh"
[19:23] The forces of Gaiar drew close with their attack. The defenses of Tongyishan would be manned by the men and women that were there. Scorpions fired upon the hordes of Demons and mages, and amongst the rain of attacks would be bullets and rotting miasmas of blood and rot. Angelic wings hold Ikkaku aloft as a blue power surrounds them, striking downwards towards the onslaught of Gaiar forces below.

It was lucky the mountain had only one entrance in a way; It was all concentrated and the people had to focus their fire upon only one spot. The Regent could only hope it was enough. A barrage of power flew from their hands, striking down a Demon before taking flight into the battle below. Telekinetic force flew in every direction as Ikkaku came downwards..

Mages were to be defeated this day after all.
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[19:27] The Valmasian was quick to arrive alongside the attacking forces- though something was completely off about him.

He was pale. White. Pristine. Not a single scratch or injury lay upon the swordsman's body. A bit off, considering how many fights he had gotten into- Ikkaku should know.

A pale blue eyed gaze would be shot towards Ikkaku, amidst of all the combat ensuing around. Reaching over his shoulder, he'd grip the hilt of his blade, unsheathing it. Cosmic power would grow upon his back, forming into ethereal wings, just the sight of it near blinding. Energy would surge and fierce winds would grow around him.

"..Ikkaku Ukitake."

"Will you meet the same fate as your friend, Arie Hon? You know- I must commend you, there's nothing more that I love than a nationalist who would fight to the bitter end for his people.."

[19:48] As the blade of the swordsman collides with the staff of the Regent, sky blue eyes stare into Usiel's. For a minute the world seems to freeze, only recognizing the face which they stared into. An exhale.

"You."

A typhoon tears the swordsman away from the Regent. "You killed Edge, and by your words.. I'd bet you killed Arie too." There was a swallow beneath the mask as rotting miasmas of purple and red blood flowed forth from vials and pelted the swordsman, knocking them off their feet, then off their knees.

"You killed two good men. A commander who wanted to protect his people and wasn't soft; A man who arrested the monster Tanka. And for what? The desires of demons? To be a creature under their command?"

The Regent brings a telekinetic force down upon Usiel, and like a hundred strings wrapping around the foe they would be held in place. Sky blue eyes stared the swordsman down.

"You will perish here."

The blood in Usiel's veins would turn to ice, freezing them. Yet.. They wouldn't be dead, quiet yet. The Angelic wings lifted Ikkaku up as telekinetic force hefted Usiel upwards. If there was luck, it appeared the Regent had the intent to separate them from the rest, recalling the interruption when they had attempted to fight Somnus.

"Take your time to repent and say your last words."
(Ikkaku Ukitake)
[20:17] The telekinetic force was truly too powerful, one that almost matched the potency of Tragedy's. Being pelted to the ground, he now lay just barely sitting up, pale blue eyes locked onto his.

"I killed them. I killed them both. And let it be known, I granted them the perfect death."

the one of a soldier.

Slow breathing accompanied his words, harsh- near heaving, but it was held back so he was audible. He grew pale on the inside, prepared to meet his grim, dark fate.

"Your commander was tired of fighting for such ungrateful people, such as the ones that sat around in Jianghu. I gave him a fitting end, the one of a hero. And he is remembered."

A moment of silence. How.. unfortunate. He spoke in retortion to his words of perishing.

"..so be it, Ukitake."

His vision grew dim as the blood in his veins slowly turned to ice, the Valmasian hanging onto life by a thin thread. Being brought into the air would atleast relieve a little pressure, the one of being pinned down onto the ground.

The cosmic wings no longer illuminated the surrounding area, and the blue aura of energy died out, exactly like a killed lightbulb.
