Whole other world.
::Iole answers honestly::
Nyx here was an old friend of my Auntie, and she's been a good friend of mine since the second sorceress war.
::Nyx doesn't seem to bear any reaction to Iole's description of her::
Nyx, are your powers back yet?
Nyx: I didn't feel them return. The device must still be in place.

::Kamikaze, disguised as Maxwell, is waiting inside the elevator.:: I wonder what that one bermecian will do once he finds out the generator is bobbytraped?

(OOC: It's bobby trapped huh? Curse you bobby! Hehe)
::Nyx finishes glamoring the cameras at the next corner and signals them to start moving. The three women are almost to the elevator. But they find that it's already opening::
Oh crap. Nyx, get ready.
Nyx: Yes Miss.

::He looks up as the door opens and smirks. He steps to the door when they get close, casuing them to stop in their tracks:: "Sorry ladies, ::Draws three senbons:: but you're going nowhere." ::He throws them at the three::

::With a clang, the senbon needles are deflected and fall to the ground with light metallic clangs. A long knife has appeared in Nyx's hand and it seems she was the one that stopped the weapons::
Thanks for the save.
Nyx: Don't mention it Miss.
::Violette points her pistol at the man in the elevator, but it seems she's the only one with a firearm::
So you were waiting for us. Does this mean the other guards no we're here? Or are you working for someone else?

"And where would the surprise be in that?" ::He throws another senbon, knocking the gun out of Violettes hand:: "Now Iole, do be a good girl and die." ::He tosses another one, this one black::

(OOC: He's actually here to capture her remember? Astaroth tricked him. But given the circumstances, capture is probably more likely as long as she's in the building)
::Nyx deflects this one again before rushing the man in the elevator. She leaps over him and flips into the elevator before kicking him in the back, throwing him out of it::
Nyx: We need this.
Thank you for holding the door though.

"I don't care about the rest of you, you can take that ((::Looks to list:: --; Can't use that word now)). I'm only here for Iole." ::He charges at her, knocking Violette to the wall::

(OOC: Hehe damn straight! That is our word, you have no right to use it! You know I was kidding though right?)
::Nyx is out of the elevator again, catching the man in a choke-hold, holding him down against the floor::
Nyx: Go Miss. I can handle things here.
Are you sure?
Nyx: Yes, please go.
::Iole helps Violette up while Nyx keeps Maxwell down. Then the two jump for the elevator. Maxwell turns and growls as he watches the doors close::

"Woman, you just signed your deathwish!" ::He powers his way out of her chokehold before knocking her to the wall. His appearance changes from his disguise to his true form:: Now you'll see what happens to those that get in my way.

Violette takes a moment to catch her breath once in the relative safety of the elevator. "Who? The hell was that?" She asks through heavy breathing, then swings back her assault rifle, holstering the other weapons. "No use being quiet now."
Meanwhile, Sid has found the first device, the white one. He tries to figure out how to shut the device down. "I'm not an engineer..." He pokes it, fiddles with some buttons and then something else garners his attention. A scuffle somewhere on the floor. "Well, guess it doesn't matter nov." He raises his shotgun to the device and fires, and the device explodes.

::Iole slams the button for the basement level with her thumb. The elevator gears start whirring above them before they start dropping::
That was one of Nu's subordinates, a servant of one of the old villains. Just pray you never have to learn more than that. But there's good news. He doesn't seem to be operating on the normal grid at the moment. So there's still a good chance we still haven't been discovered. And if Nyx can handle him like she says she can, we'll stay that way.
::Meanwhile, Nyx staggers forward after being thrown to the wall. But she feels a change in her being, like she had stopped breathing since she entered the building and was just now remembering how. Sid must have destroyed the device that had the hold on her powers. She holds her long knife eye-level and lets it grow to a pole-arm with a long thin blade at its end. Then she rounds on Kamikaze with her deadpan black eyes like two shadowy orbs in the center of her face::

::He dodges her strike before grabbing the pole-arm:: Impressive, shadow manipulation. ::Lighting sparks from him:: But it's no match for me. Ninja Art: Lighting Current. ::Electricity travels from Kamikaze's body through the poll::

::Their pole conducts the electricity into Nyx's arms. She winces, but it's not the devastating effect he was expecting. Instead it seems she's re-directing it. He has to quickly release his hold before suffering damage from his own technique. It was almost like she'd known he was going to use it. Closer inspection would have revealed that she'd made her arms intangible shadows, scrambling and reversing the electrical molecules. She sweeps the pole of her weapon under his legs, knocking them out from under him, forcing him to flip backwards in order to stay upright. She had known not only that he was going to use that technique, but how to negate it, and that he'd follow up with a kick to her legs. She knew his fighting style before he'd even used it::
Nyx: You are not passing. To harm the Miss you'll have to go through me first.

How did she know what I was planning He thought. ::He moves his tumb under his mask, but when he moves it, she saw he bitten it. His other hand moved to the right of his robe and lifted it. showing some kind of runes before he moved his bleeding thumb over it. the rune reacted as a pair of daggers fly out and he grabbed them. The stance he took with them was also familiar to her. he also noticed the way she was holding her pole arm:: Almost the same as my style...
((OOC: I'll be on and off today and possibly tomarrow, got a room to help renovate))

(OOC: No problem. I'm off to work anyway. I had to be stupid and volunteer to close for someone because I believe in karma and all that crap)
::Nyx moves her hands to the middle of her long spear, snapping it in half where it becomes two sais, then lowers herself to an identical stance::
(OOC: By the way, if you're waiting for her to recognize him, she already does. But you know what emotion for her is like. And she adheres to the same code of honor he taught her)

((OOC: Not expecting it yet, but he'll eventually get the point and I know how it feels, but I'm volunteered reguardless of what needs to be done))
::The stand off lasts for a second before they both strike. Their attacks are precise, but are countered or blocked. Their weapons were locked as Kamikaze remembers his former student.:: Your name girl. He thought said.

::She returns his thoughts with her own::
Nyx: I am now called many things. The Nymph Witch, The Witch of Night, The Witch Ronin, but the name my Miss calls me is Nyx. It's the name I've kept with me since I was a girl. But you already knew that.

::He then realizes who the girl before him is, if she could see under his mask, she could of seen him smirk:: I finally found you, Nicole. I was hoping I would run into you again, but not this soon.

Nyx: Still covering your face I see. But even in your other form I could see your true self in your shadow.
::She kicks his ankle with her outstretched foot while their weapons are still locked, but he pushes through their hold to shoulder her in the chest. Once the hold is broken, they're coming at each other again, their blades making scraping sounds against each other rather than the loud clangs less subtle fighters' weapons would make::
Nyx: So Nu is your master now. What happened to you on the day our master was imprisoned?
