[color=LightSeaGreen]"Hey bastard! Get away from the Queen!"[/color] Her heart sunk in her chest the moment the words hit her ear the familiar voice angrily shouting out getting louder and louder with each step he took closer to the two of them, if catching the attention of both fallen was what Taiga had intended on doing then he had most certainly succeeded in doing just that. Shooting her head back she let her eyes flick over to his figure catching sight of it slowly closing the gap she had worked hard to create causing each and every one of her previous actions to be wasted in vein, turning her head back a little too late she scrunched up her face as she felt a sharp and excruciating pain shoot through her head the golden metal of his spear coming down hard, splitting open the skin and allowing blood to run down her face staining both her and her white locks of hair a bright crimson red. [color=Blue]"It seems as though your little beast isn't the sharpest tool in the shed if you catch my drift... I'll take pleasure in draining his life before your eyes."[/color] Stumbling slightly she pressed the tip of her blade into the ground both hands gripping hold of the hilt as she tried her best to keep herself stead on her feet, lifting her head up she shook it slightly her eyes following his movements as he began to move towards Taiga's figure knowing that if she didn't move or act now she wouldn't be able to keep him from breathing in his last breath, [color=Bisque]"No... Taiga, get back..!"[/color] Pushing past the throbbing pain echoing through her mind she forced her feet to move her arm shaky as she lifted her blade up making it easier on herself as she tried her best to get to him first in this footrace she had seemed to enter into, scrunching up her face in pure concentration she flapped her wings behind her giving her the boost she needed to quickly push herself in front of Cael her arms reaching out to wrap around Taiga the moment she got close enough to touch him, her blade pressing against his back. [color=Bisque]"What the hell were you thinking?! Do you want to die?! Is that it-..."[/color] Beating her wings as hard as she could she lifted them both up into the air her words cutting short the moment she felt his sacred gear pressing against her body, what power that he had managed to accumulate within it now seeping into her, pulsing through her veins joining whatever power she still had of her own. Lowering her eyes down to where he was in her arms she clenched her jaw her voice soft though holding the unmistakable tone of danger letting him know that she even though she was grateful for his out-of-the-box thinking she was more then unimpressed by his rash and reckless actions (though her eyes showed nothing but worry), [color=Bisque]"..Thank you... Now once I put you down... Drop to the floor and don't move. If you insist on trying to help, I need you where I can protect you. You don't have to trust me, but please... Just listen to me for once..."[/color] Flattening her wings back behind her she dove towards the ground her arms tightening around his body a pained growl escaping through her soft pink lips as she swerved slightly the spear catching her on the wing causing them to beat over time, both blood and feathers sprawling out behind them before floating to the ground below leaving a trail leading directly back to them not that it mattered much when the one who was trying to kill them was following hot on their trail. Stumbling as she hit the ground she quickly dropped her arms from around his body her hands gripping tightly to the hilt of her blade once more as she turned the sound of metal meeting metal once more filling the air though this time she wasn't moving from her place, wrapping her wings up she let them fold in over Taiga keeping him as close to her as she could while keeping him out of sight and away from the danger of being injured anymore than he already had. Leaning forward she lifted her leg up before she slammed the soul of her foot down onto the ground causing a large crack to appear forcing Cael to stumble backwards giving them more space to move, turning her head back she tightened her wings just that little bit more making sure that she was doing her job by keeping him as safe as she possibly could in their current situation, [color=Blue]"Argh..! You have interfered for the last time Kaelani!"[/color] Her eyes widened in slight shock at the close proximity of his voice her attention turning back just in the nick of time as her eyes caught on his figure soaring down towards her anger in his eyes and his posture showing that he was intent on killing, reaching out she shot her arm out managing to slide her forearm over the spear turning it away from where it was pointed at her heart the tip sliding into her sternum electrical sparks coursing through her as she lifted her own blade up shoving it through his chest at the same time the both of them meeting in the middle. Yanking her arm back she ripped her sword from his chest watching him fall at her feet her grip on her blade loosening before it slipped completely her knees giving way under her causing her to hit the dirt her eyes closing tightly as she shakily reached to the spear sticking out of her, unfolding her wings from around Taiga she braced herself ignoring the sharp pains pulsing through her palms as she gripped hold of it tightly before ripping it out of her body letting it clatter over the ground the pain from each of her rather vicious and deep set wounds now catching up to her as she wrapped her arm tightly around her middle hiding them from sight and trying her best to keep herself from allowing too much of her blood to seep out her voice shaky as she spoke out between breaths, [color=Bisque]"..Get yourself... Out of here. Now... If I need to fight again... I can't... Protect you as well... As stay alive..."[/color]
