[h3]Xavier[/h3]

Renji's attack did break through Xavier's guard, but the result was the same as before. The armor simply reformed, and took another stance, Xavier poised to try another attack, when he heard a voice in his head, and it wasn't Cassandra's. It was a man's voice, a deep, stern baritone that seemed to echo through his mind.

[i]My Liege, please allow me to handle this, you don't have the skill to defeat this opponent, even with my help.[/i]

[i]Who are you?[/i]

[i]This is not the time, My Liege. First we must finish the battle, then comes the explanation[/i]

Xavier didn't like being kept in the dark, but the voice was right. The middle of an intense battle that was way over Xavier's head was not the place to have a conversation. SO he withdrew from Knight, and just in time too. He looked up to see a Meteor coming straight for him. He was just barely able to avoid it, putting his new wings to work to give him a speed boost and move him  out of the way. He looked over at all the others, giving it their all, and wanted desperately to go out and fight with them, to not slink away like a coward again. But he knew that this was not the time to do such things, that he was no were close to fighting these guys, even with his new demon abilities, but his Knight would provide good support, so it was best to hide in a nearby building until this all blew over. He'd be in the way otherwise. 

After swallowing that bitter blow to his pride, he found a nearby building to hide in. . . again. No matter what reason he gave himself, he still felt like such a coward for doing this, and the self-loathing stuck in his chest like a ball of burning pitch. The wisp of shadows that flowed around him, closed in and seemed to be trying to comfort him, telling him that it probably had a voice as well, though it refused to speak. Still, the thought was nice, and Xavier appreciated it. 

"Thanks, I guess I needed that."

While Xavier hid in a building, Knight turned to where Renji and Lu were facing off against the angel woman. He gripped the greatsword handle that had been formed in his hand, the only weapon he had, pumping the strange blue energy into it to form the blade. This would be his first time fighting in this body, and the first time he had entered combat in a long while, yet even after death, the thought of rushing into glorious combat sent a chill through his veins. The fact that he currently had no veins was a moot point. 

Turning his attention back to the battle at hand, he whispered to himself in a low voice.
“Knightmare Rush.”

And the very next moment, he was right next to the two Isvan foes, taking a powerful stances as he swung his blade at the two with extreme speed and dexterity, due to both the blade being energy and thus weightless and his own skill. He would continue his frenzy of rapid strikes, this time with much more skill than before, until the Holy fire came upon them. He would then give a quick, retreating slash to get the two to back away from him(and subsequently into the Holy attack),before using Knightmare Rush to escape the current situation and take his place next to the allies of his Liege lord, ready to face his foes again if they do appear.

[h3]Aiden[/h3]

Aiden’s eyes twitched as everything he did had virtually no effect on the apathetic bastard, his comment about how he expected more making him extremely vexed. Then he pulled out his little Lava trick, creating the largest Dragonslayer Roar he had ever seen, and he no longer felt annoyed, just the tiniest bit overwhelmed. He had easily dodged the attack, trusting Oriel to be able to dodge it as well, before turning his attention to the battle at hand. Oriel was choosing not to use her flames, smart considering how close Lava was to fir and the uncertainty of whether it even have an effect on him.

Whatever Oriel did, Aiden used the time she bought him to charge up an attack he’d been working on. “Water Dragon’s Roar: Pressure!” HE took in a deep breath and held it for a while, before letting out a stream of highly pressurized water from his mouth, the stream cutting through the earth like paper as it rushed to Ajax’s position. 

The second he could, he made his way to the ground at high spped, hands in his Ice Make position as he charged up another attack. “Fluid Ice Make: Fallen Dragonic Ascension: Weiss Phoenix Dual Strike!” As he hit the ground with a boom, causing an explosion of dust to surround him, a bright white flash came into being, followed by a freezing winds, as two large phoenix constructs, made from ice and having freezing cold water form their joints and the majority of their wings, rose up high into the sky, surrounded by an intense icy blue aura. They then entered a steep, screeching dive, towards Ajax from two opposing directions, Aiden making sure to use Water Dragon’s Flying step to get Oriel out of the way if she wasn’t already, crashing into the Wizard Saint with a resounding “BOOM!!!”

Before the explosion was even finished, Aiden struck with his last attack, taking another deep breath before releasing his strongest Roar to date. “Weiss Dragon’s Blizzarding Typhoon!!” The Roar was big, not as large as Ajax’s had been, but still pretty big. It was a conglomeration of Freezing winds filled with shards of ice swirling around a large vortex of water, the inner and outer edge being filled with ice debris and razor sharp water blades. And in the center of that was an large amount of pure magical energy in the shape of a Dragon’s Roaring Maw. The moment this attack would crash into Ajax, it would rupture, causing a chain reaction throughout the rest of the vortex as it smashed into the man, covering him within thick layers of Ice that would equate to a small hill in total size. 

After the attack, Aiden would drop to the ground, breathing heavily as he caught his breath. It had taken a lot out of him to send all of those powerful attacks at him in such rapid succession, but he’d made sure to keep enough magic at the ready so that he could still pull of Ascalon if he had to. That would get the bastard for sure, as no matter what attack he sen it’s way, the energy would get absorbed by the spear and leave the attack powerless against it. The heat from his lava attacks would probably dull it, but the tip isn’t what caused the most damage anyway. 

Still, Aiden took a second of rest to recover from the strain of his actions before he got back up, entering a fighting stance after he summoned his by now trademarked Naginata, staring at where Ajax was. “That good enough for you, you Magam Bitch.” 

In hindsight, it was very unwise to call his future boss “Magma Bitch”, but Aiden was at this point a bit too tired to care and still a little miffed at the man for his earlier comments.
