Nooooooo!!![/color]" The cowled knight wailed while the onmyoji knight was taken by surprise, quickly slipping into his ass as he continued sliding towards Vanessa. He dropped his weapons and the floating talismans fell as he slid and seemed to be out for the count as he slid harmlessly past the Dark Mage. But then, Vanessa felt a slap on her butt. It appeared the onmyoji knight had a parting gesture as he slid past the Dark Mage. Upon looking, Vanessa found a paper talisman sticking on the butt cheek the knight slapped. The writings on it quickly glowed purple and Vanessa found herself quickly drained of magic and energy. So much so that she found herself unable to even stand up and could barely keep consciousness. And just like that, the Lot Knights prevailed over Vanessa the Dark Mage. The cowled knight immediately went up to Vanessa using his saber to keep himself standing up from all the grease. "[color=burlywood]You! Once you get better, you better summon a whole pile of gold bars for everything you've done here![/color]" He began ripping onto Vanessa. But then, a sullen Aun appeared from behind him. "[color=lightyellow]...I'll pay for all the damages she made.[/color]" He said, placing a hand on the cowled knight's shoulder. "[color=lightyellow]I'll also help Sir Cleans clear all of this up.[/color]" "[color=burlywood]Inky, come on. Can't we have this one? This is the fourth time this month.[/color]" The cowled knight retorted. The Incubus Knight tapped the shoulder a couple of times, a sign that he was brooking no argument. With a sigh, the cowled knight walked away. Aun then crouched to address the weakened Vanessa. "[color=lightyellow]Iskah's waiting outside. We'll escort you to her. Boys, let's give her the Inky Farewell Ceremony![/color]" Aun motioned for the other Lot Knights present to join him who replied with cheer. Vanessa then felt a pair of hands grab each of her limb and she was lifted up. The onmyoji knight who achieved victory over her appeared before her and threw five talismans on the greasy floor. The papers didn't touch the floor, merely floating an inch above it. Blue magical energy emitted from them, connecting to one another until the circular center became completely blue. A teleportation portal. "[color=lightyellow]HEAVE! HO![/color]" The Lot Knights tossed Vanessa into the portal. [hr] Vanessa was deposited outside Wayland Keep, near where she and Iskah first became invisible to infiltrate the castle. Her Lizardman client was there, sitting sullenly on the street. "Vanessa... Do you know what happened?" Based on her voice, probably not anything good. Right? "Aun... FOUGHT ME! HE FOUGHT ME! YES!" Iskah exploded with happiness, laughing in triumph and seemingly caring little that Vanessa had just been defeated by the Lot Knights. "Do you know what this means now, Vanessa?!"
