Spartan narrowed his eye's slightly as he seen the tendrils came from the water below, he kept calm as he got into a defensive position, his eye's quickly glancing to them, a few had some debris in them, he' have to watch those, as the tendril began to lash out at him he evaded and dodged them, when one swiped at him from behind he did a back flip as he flew higher, he then aimed his right hand at the tendril, light blue electricity jumped up and down Spartans arm as an orb of light blue energy formed in him hand, he then fired a beam of energy towards the tendrils, as soon as the beam hit one it exploded on contact with in a blue plume of flames, vaporizing the tendrils, when the flames cleared Spartan seen the eye's under the water
"I'm going to give you once chance to stop what you doing, if you continue you'll leave me no choice but to use force" Spartan exclaimed in a calm and authoritative tone as he hovered in the air

Jacque's smirk turned into a full on grin as Spartan reduced the tendrils to nothing more than vapor and gave his warning. Jacque laughed again and brought the remaining debris to the center of the whirlpool, churned it until the debris had been almost completely broken down, then withdrew a very small ring from his pocket. "Lets see how you fair with this." He said with a chuckle as he flicked the ring out of the water, then forced both the water and debris through the ring as fast as he could physically manage. The result was something akin to water being blasted from an abrasive water jet. A rattling from the small sword at his side alerted Jacque to Rachel's presence, "So you want to test them too?" Jacque mused as he pulled the sword free, "Very well Mano. Eat.". The sword ripped itself free from Jacque's hand and launched towards Rachel, taking some of the water along with it. As the sword flew towards Rachel, the water surrounding it took the form of a massive tiger shark, easily over twenty five feet long.

Rachel watched as Spartan tried to defend the castle from this intruders attack, frowning as she kept at the ready, she wasn't expecting the intruder to turn his attention towards her so suddenly, eyes turning wide as he launched a sword propelled by water in the form of a shark at her.
"I've made a huge mistake" She muttered to herself as she jumped out of the way and just in time to, watching as the water shark passed her by and hit the ground behind her, glad she still had her speed and agility though wishing she still had her wings so she could approach him easier to attack. "Hm wait this guy has water abilities, Well this will be easier than I first thought" She spoke again to herself as she held her hand, Sparks of purple eletricity forming around her pale skin before ripping forward at the intruder. Rachel knew that her power would have a great affect on this guy since water conducted electricity, now her only hope was that she could stay a safe distance and still be able to hit him.

Spartan had an annoyed look on him when the being in the water ignored his warning, and when he seen the water rushing towards him he simply activated his combat armor, he then crossed his arm as the small torrent of water mixed with broken up debris hit against his energy shield and poured off his shield harmlessly, Spartan then looked to the being in the water
"don't say I didn't warn you" Spartan said as he charged up another orb and aimed it at the eye's he seen in the water, he then fired a bright blue beam of energy and it sped towards the eye's within the water

As the electricity surged towards Jacque, the shark that had previously struck the ground circled back and blocked the attack at the cost of the water. Jacque meanwhile shifted to the side and opened up a hole to allow the orb to pass harmlessly through to the ground. "Mano. Stop fooling around." Jacque growled to the sword as he sent more water out to grant the blade its shark form again. This time however the blade itself stuck out at the bottom of the shark's tail fin and slightly into dirt to act as a lightning rod. Both Jacque and Mano surged forward at their respective opponents, Mano with an open mouth and various jagged stones in place of teeth, and Jacque with another set of tendrils.

"Damn it" Rachel growled as she summoned her scythe to her hand, watching as the intruder and his sword quickly recovered from the attack from both her and Spartan, waiting this time for the shark to come to her so she could slice it in half. They didn't know though that she could fuse her magic with her weapons so she could get him that way, Rachel did just this as the scythe got a purple tinge to it's normal silver colour on the blade, it's yellow topaz eyes seeming to glow brighter as it awaited it's prey.
Once it came close enough Rachel jumped over the Shark with a flip just to look awesome, aiming to slice her lightning infused scythe through the shark from nose to tail tip "Take this you over grown fish" She yelled at it.

Spartan had a slightly angered look under his helmet as his attack missed
"fine, I'll have to get close and personal" he said as he activated his laser blades on his arms, the two 4ft long blades glowed bright blue as Spartan then charged as the being he seen in the water, as he sped towards it, he slammed into the water with a large splash and seemed unfazed by it, still going the same speed as he did before he entered, he seen the outline of the being and rushed towards it, he went into a spin as he closed in with his laser blades pointed out to try and hit the being with his laser blades repeatedly to do some serous damage

Jacque weaved around Spartan with little effort, chuckling as he did so. Spartan may have been fast, but when in his element, nothing could hope to keep pace with Jacque, "Not your best idea." he crooned as he opened up the area around Spartan and allowed him to fall out. Jacque followed up by swimming around in the water to gain momentum, then launching himself out to kick Spartan in the back before returning to the water. The water surrounding Manō rippled and pooled together, then took the form of a large humanoid with the blade sticking from its back like a fin. The humanoid yanked up a nearby log and threw it at Rachel as though it were chucking a baseball.

Archer sat down on her bed and took off her shoes, she tossed them away from her bed then closed her door when female Marcus left out her room in a huff, she laid down in her bed and covered herself with her blanket, she put her face deep into her pillow and started to fall a sleep.

Seiko was loitering in the hallway till something flew by at high speed, she held down her skirt so it wouldn't fly up, she wondered what just flew by and started walking in the direction that it was heading.

As the log barreled toward Rachel, a black blur going at the speed of a lightning bolt zoomed by, quickly catching the log. A female with large bat-like wings hovered in the air, holding the lumber with ease using one arm. "Rather rude don't ya think?" The female quipped, grinning and flashing her fangs before using both hands to powerfully throw the long back at its sender.

Spartan now grit his teeth, he needed to figure out a way to get rid of this water to take away this guy's advantage, when water opened up around him he landed with ease, when the being launched out to kick him, Spartans energy shield absorbed the impact, barely flaring up I doing so, he then swung his laser blade but missed as the being returned to the water
"I've had enough of this..." Spartan said as he deactivated his laser blades, he then charged up two orbs of energy, they grew to the size of basketballs before he made powerful beams fire out of them, he aimed at the water in general, not even bothering with the being that attacked them, when they got closed he made the front of the beams erupt into explosions which spread into blue hot flames, vaporising a large potion of the water Spartan then looked to the being before he charged up two more orbs, aiming to fire at it

Rachel growled almost demoniacally when the water shark changed its shape, her eyes flashing as she tried to contemplate her neck move, the hybrid didn't expect it to rip up a log though and throw it at her. It happened so fast Rachel hardly had time to react as she threw her scythe up in front of her for defence, hardly noticing a woman coming to her rescue though she was suddnely feeling so weak.
All this fighting mixed with her unbalanced inner being and the mark given to her by the angels drained Rachel of most her powers, falling to her hands and knees panting while dropping her scythe, the hybrid wasn't looking to good and she didn't feel good either. Rachel knew though that she had to protect the others from this jerk who was trying to attack them, taking a hold of her scythe she attempted to get back to her feet, only on her third try though did she mange though her stance wasn't the best one could use for battle, slumped over a little and panting still.
"Damn it" Rachel growled again as she tried to get her bearings, her head feeling a little fuzzy but she tried her hardest to hold on and keep fighting, not wanting to seem weak to anyone.

Jacque marveled at the wisps of steam in the air, steam that at one point had been a large portion of his weapon. The elemental grinned and clapped his hands, "Bravo. You learn quickly for a whelp." he said before dispelling the water around him and dropping to the ground. Jacque stood with one hand on his hip and chuckled, "I must say, this is the most fun i've had in decades. However I'm afraid that if you're going to keep blasting away at my water like that, then i'll have to take this a bit more serious. Manō.". The humanoid morphed around the log as it barreled towards it, then momentarily looked at the new comer with its head cocked to the side. At Jacque's beckoning, the humanoid surged forward and around Rachel and the new comer as though they didn't even exist. Jacque extended his hand and caught the blade and twirled it, resulting in the water that had once been the humanoid enveloping him like a suit of armor. "Ready yourself..." The elemental said, trailing off as he slid across the battle field and behind Spartan in a blur of motion and placed the tip of his sword at the nape of Spartan's neck, "Round two starts now.".

Spartan kept his calm, when the elemental gathered the water around him like armor Spartan raised an eyebrow for a second before focusing, when the elemental sped behind him and held it's sword to the back of his armored neck he didn't hesitate to react, Spartan momentarily blasted his jets, back flipping over the elemental, while he was in the air he stored the charge energy orb he had charged up and activated his laser blades, when he landed he glared through his visor at the elemental before be let out a fury of fast slashes at the being with his laser blades

Jacque surged forward as he felt the blades come into contact with the water, stopping a few yards ahead of Spartan. The Elemental was a bit surprised by the man activating his jets so suddenly, that coupled with dulled reflexes due to a lack of energy had only served to make things worse. Jacque mentally lambasted himself for expecting to be able to fight as though he were at his peak after days of nonstop travel, but turned to face his opponent with a smile, "So despite that clunky armor you're faster than you look.". Jacque titled his chin upwards slightly, the water that he'd dispelled earlier sprang to life and divided into two large orbs, one of which immediately enveloped Spartan and held him in place above the ground. The other orb broke into three smaller ones, two of which Jacque flung at Rachel, "Don't think i've forgotten about you. I'll make it quick." he said, keeping the third one floating around him like a miniature moon.

Spartan glared at the elemental, becoming annoyed by this fight
"and your dumber then you look" Spartan said as he quickly brought out the stored energy from before and fired them off, vaporising the large orb enveloping him freeing himself, he landed on his feet with a thud as he glared at the being as he clenched his fists, blue electricity jumped around his hands, with his laser blades still active he charged at the elemental again
"This end now!" he exclaimed as be activated his jets as he aimed to high speed tackle the being and take it sky high

Rachel saw the trouble she was in and attempted to get out of the way, her sight starting to get as fuzzy as her head was feeling making it hard for her to see "Why did I think that I could handle a battle" She groaned turning around trying to see where the orb was that was thrown at her.
Placing a hand to her head Rachel feel to her hands and knees again and decided to just let it be quick, she couldn't keep fighting right now she knew that and she couldn't run away either. She forgot about that woman who had helped her before not being able to really see her. Hanging her head and letting her scythe disappeared as she accepted her fate, she could feel that she was she was going to pass out anyway soon.
"I'm finished Spartan" She muttered quietly "I can't fight any more, so kick his ass for me" he continued as she waited.

Jacque raised an eye brow as the being charged him in anger, then did something no one would expect, something that would likely be something he'd find hilarious for years to come; Jacque side stepped Spartan, granted he used his water armor to carry him about a yard out of the way, but a side step was a side step never the less. Jacque waved at Spartan as the man barreled past him and towards Rachel and the new comer, "Newton's law is a mother fucker eh?" he called out after Spartan. Something that big going that fast would find it hard to turn on a dime, Jacque knew this much, he was curious however to see how the man and his comrade would react.

Spartan had an 'are you serous' look under his helmet as he missed the elemental, but not even a second after his missed he tucked into a ball and kicked out his legs as soon as they were facing the opposite direction to which he was flying, he then blasted his jets full burn and he sped back towards the elemental, he slowed down and landed on his feet, as he deactivated his laser blades, he then began slowly walking up to the elemental, his fists clenched as he did so
