:Sands stands in the middle of the room. A recipe for disaster awaits his pursuers. He unsheathes his sword and grins:
"Now is my time!"

:Airlia wrecklessly follows Sands into the large room. As she enters she tries stopping quickly:
The hell is he doing in the middle of the room?!
:Airlia slips and falls. She slams on her back, but without missing a beat she hops back up and tries to play it off as graceful:
"This is the end Sands."

Zion bursts in right behind Airlia and skids to a stop next to her after seeing Sands waiting in the middle of the room for them. He decided to wait for the others before testing whatever he had in wait for them. His blade comes out as soon as he stops and energy flares to life around it.

"Heh.....fitting...."
:Sands scrapes the Vainslayer across the ground in an eerie fashion. He approaches a computer next to a huge glass holding tank. Scientists from above gather and watch from the catwalks. The computer beeps as Sands quickly clicks through a few keys. He almost seems too casual for a fight with odds such as this:

Clerian, seeing that the chase had come to an end, stops running and walks calmly next to Zion and Airlia. He's speechless as Sands starts hitting keys, but gets uneasy about waiting as he scans the catwalks to see all the scientists gathered.
"So we just wait for him to play with his computer?" the ex-SeeD asks jokingly. Though he attempted to be calm on the outside, he could feel the tension growing on the inside. His muscles were tensing up instinctively and he could feel magical energy surging through his body. Without even starting the fight, his body knew what was coming and was pushing its own limits right off the bat to prepare.

::Rainii looks around the room suspiciously, knowing that what would come next wouldn't be good for any of them. The scientists up on the catwalk watch them calmly, observing. She moves to stand next to Airlia, to watch and wait for what Sands would do next.::

"I suppose I'll start this off right then.."
:Sands steps forward and swings the sword as hard as he can at an angle. The strike skids across the clean floors and breaks off shards of the concrete that strike the heros like shrapnel. He follows through by lunging at Clerian first and landing a heavy elbow to the face. Before anyone can react he hits them hard. Zion takes the side of Sand's sword across his head while he spins around and knocks Airlia and Rainii down with a round house kick. He hops back slightly and prepares for their retalliation:
"C'mon ladies.......lets see what you've got."

:Chamber slowly enters the room and kneels down near Rainii. He's out of breath and his bandages are blood soacked:
"Sorry...I ran into a bit more resistance than you guys."
:He pats her shoulder and gazes at her:
"You alright?"
:Airlia slides across the floor and quickly scramles back to her feet. She closes her eyes and the ground rumbles:
"Enough of this nonsense..."
:The room grows ice cold and the floor even more slick. She steps forward, her eyes pure white and lips palor. In her hand she holds a blade of ice and aims at Sands. He feels a shutter run up his spine before iceaga is cast on him:

Clerian felt his lip, checking for blood. There was none, however. In return, he smiled at Sands. This could be the death of him, and there was a strange sense of belonging in Clerian risking his life for others.
He felt a rush inside of him. Like fire, almost, but more of a burning cold. It surged through his muscles and veins as his eyes starting fading to a glowing silver, but Clerian realized it soon enough and suppressed the rush. He knew what it was, and he knew that if he let his inner power free itself, there would be no telling what might happen to the others. For now, he had a choice in the matter and his choice was to fight with his own natural strength.

:Sands dodges the ice attack and slides on the floor out of harms way. He pulls out a metal orb from his jacket and lets it fall to the ground, rolling towards Clerian and Airlia it explodes, sending metal nail-like shards everywhere:

"Yeah...yeah, thanks."
::She smiles at him, and he helps her to stand. The explosion from the metal orb knocks her over again. She scrambles to her feet, and picks up Dissention, which she has dropped.::
"This is ridiculous, Sands. Why wont you just fight us already?"

:Chamber kneels down beside Rainii covering a new wound. he looks down but only sees blood:
Damn it, too deep to get..
:Chamber slings around his shotgun and leans on it to stand:
"Thats what I was thinkin'..."
:Airlia leans on a large piece of machinery:
This guy really knows how to avoid fighting for as much conquering he does..
(OOC- Wish me luck or ask for a miracle today guys. I'll be back @ 4PM CST and then I need to review my last two topics for the final round of National Boards! I have 440 questions to do today, I think I'm gonna feel fabulous! HA)

(OOC--Good luck, Infin!)
::Rainii looks back at Chamber, a concerned look on her face as she eyes his wounds::
"You're too hurt to be here...You've got time to get out still, if you want."
::Even as she says this, she knows he'll stay anyway. He seemed stubborn like that. She casts a quick glance back at Sands, before looking back at Chamber::
"It wont be good for anyone if you die."

"Too late my dear..."
:Sands had vanished from his original spot before anyone could realize. The voice was more clear and closer. Rainii casts a gaze back to Chamber, who sits beside her with that horrible blade through his stomach. Sands retracts the blade and watches Chamber double over on Rainii:
"Theres really never a good time to retreat."
:He grins and runs the blade along Rainii's cheek, leaving a streak of blood on her face:
"Well....are you next or will it be the annoying blonde girl?"

That was it. The trigger had been pulled. Before, it had been the preface to a fight, but now Sands had seemingly killed Chamber and touched Rainii with his blade. Now was the time to end the games and fight with everything he had.
"Or me," Clerian responds, answering Sands' question with a serious glare of determination on his face. His eyes turned a lighter hue before his pupils faded away altogether. A silver aura seemed to surround the ex-SeeD as his restraint gave way to his Limit Break...Ascension.
With his upper body bare, it was clear that his strength was beyond natural limits. His inner power had been enhanced dramatically, as well. Until now, Clerian had never fully utilized this ability, as it was deemed too dangerous for use as a SeeD. It almost doubled his natural physical and magical abilities, but came at the cost of his self-restraint. He would become a borderline berserker, unleashing his true power while dulling his ability to think rationally. For now, however, his mind was safely focussed on Sands.
As a keen strategist, Clerian wasn't exactly sure if he was capable of defeating Sands, but he knew he had a good chance in his Limit form. With his potential unlocked, his natural speed and agility would prove to be at least a match for the speed that Sands had shown.
Clerian fell into a loose dueling stance with his twin gunblades before charging at Sands with incredible speed. At the last minute, he halted and made a feint with his gunblades before backflipping away and launching a powerful Flare spell at Sands.

:Airlia, stunned from the attack jogs over to Rainii:
"Are you ok?"
:She looks down at Chamber, who is limp. He didn't fight back or anything, just slumped over:
"Rainii..."
:She kneels down:
"Its all in the company...if you go to war you must expect casualties."

:Sands stumbles back. The attack stuns him. It was the first time someone had landed a good strike on him. He crashes into a cart of glass cages and falls onto the ground. Blood riddles the floor with the glass:
"You...."
:Sands pushes himself off the ground. Glass cuts through his slightly burned body and body drips to the ground. Sands lifts his blade and charges Clerian. The lock swords, with Sands free hand he takes a slap at Clerian's face. The shards of glass, still imbedded into his hand gash Clerian's cheek:
"...you came back for what? To die again?"

"I know...but..."
::Rainii pushes Chamber's body off of her, trying her best not to look at him. Looking at him reminded her that everyone she liked seemed to die, and the man laying on the floor next to her was just another innocent person she had seemed to jinx. She quickly jumps up and runs at Sands, who is distracted by Clerian's attack. Sands turns and faces her direction, and she takes the opportunity to punch him directly in the face. Elias stumbles back, cursing at her, his nose bleeding profusely.::
"That! That...was for him!"
::She left Dissention on the floor somewhere behind her, so she moves backward trying to find it. It happens to be laying next to Chamber. She builds up the courage to look at him as she retrieves her weapon.::
I'm sorry, really, really sorry...Maybe I should have warned you.

:Sands is startled but not enough to lose focus, Rainii made a fatal mistake. Sands shakes his head in surprise:
Well thank you, thank you...
:He approaches quickly, leaving battle with Clerian. Sands replicates his attack on Rainii as he had on Chamber. The blade runs deep, through her soft body. He grins and pulls the blade out to face Clerian again:
"You see what happens? People you love die!!!!"
:Sands holds out the blade in Clerian's face taunting him:

The first real person I trully felt that I connected with......I didn't even with him......but you...yes, and now what?
:Airlia leans down over Rainii and holds the wound:
"Please.....you're going to be fine....just relax.."
:Airlia closes her eyes and holds Rainii:
You'll be fine..
