Dun dun duuuuuunnnnn. Battle of epic proportions. Two characters who have both exhibited uncontrollable fits of extreme violence in the past, going at it in a deadly battle!
This fight started with a heated argument (which normally, nobody cares about, but considering the circumstances, you might actually be interested to know how this fight broke out, so I'll include it) but I'll separate the fight and the argument so you can skip over the former if you really don't care.
Also, this fight sorta changes focus a lot, so I've taken the liberty of making new paragraphs and stuff whenever there was a slight focus change. So it might get kinda chaotic, but bear with me. XP
Anyways. Epic fight now;
Epic Argument!
Fighting starts here now
* Nightmare turns his head slightly, looking at Neoforte out of the corner of his eyes, but doesn't say anything, turning his head back to Silver.
<Rion> Silver's gone off the deep end... and I think Nightmare's having 'problems' with his stomach again.....
* Neoforte runs up next to Nightmare and holds out his hand, charging a large energy blast in his hand, aiming at Silver.
* Nightmare turns back to Neoforte "Neoforte..!"
* Rion then looks over at Neoforte, seeing that he was being ignored by Nightmare. "Neoforte... if Nightmare's about to try and do to Silver what he did to that one dragon.... we need to know now. We can't ha--.... God dammit..."
* Majeh leaps from the ground and lands in front of Silver, his sword drawn and pointed at Neoforte, his eyes full of white fire.
* Silver then stares at Neoforte, and upon seeing the potential attack, swings her head at him with an open mouth.
* Neoforte discharges the energy and quickly attempts to block Silver's oncoming attack.
<Rion> Dammit.... Dammit dammit dammit...
* Silver aims to grab him in her jaws, and not in a gentle fashion.
* Majeh spins around grabs Silver's neck with his free arm, forming his wings and trying to pull her head away from Neoforte.
* Neoforte gets bit by Silver, protecting most of his torso with his arms, grunting in pain.
* Nightmare 's eyes widen suddenly, then jumps forward and powerfully punches Silver, trying to throw her away and free Neoforte.
* Silver takes the punch and rears up on her hind legs with a slight yelp, followed by a growl.
* Neoforte pulls himself from Silver's jaws, and skids back. He hadn't had time to activate his armor, so little stopped her teeth from sinking into his flesh "Damnit..."
* Silver rips her head away from Majeh's grasp and swings a claw at him.
* Nightmare stood in front of Silver, slowly approaching, hunched over, his arms hanging limp down at his sides "Now you've gone too far..." a black smoke began to raise from his back, his words grunted out through a growl.
* Majeh grunts as he gets large cuts on his chest, skidding back before he drops his sword and rushes at Silver again, trying to push her back with as much force he could manage.
* Rion heads over to Neoforte, already preparing a spell. As an orb of White Chi forms in his hand, he looks at the wounded Neoforte. "I need to know if White Chi will help Nightmare at all.... and you'll know better than any of us." He says as he begins to heal the wounds.
<Neoforte> I appreciate the help... But no amount of White Chi you could produce would be enough...
<Rion> ......Then that settles it....
<Rion> If this works, I'm gonna need you to try and calm Nightmare down.... but I think Silver might be too far gone for me to do anything for her either....
* Silver meets Majeh with her head as he rushes and attempts to bat him away, her power much increased, most likely due to anger..
* Majeh is tossed aside, but remains on his feet, charging at her again.
* Nightmare raises one of his arms crossed in front of his chest "You'd best quit attacking him..." he growled as something began to branch off of his forearm. They appeared to be several oval-shaped growths budding off of arm.
* Silver repeats the same procedure, this time trying to knock him toward a tree.
* Majeh grabs onto Silver's head and holds on tight. "NO! STAY OUT OF MY WAY!"
* Silver thrashes her head backward, as green electricity begins to flow through her body.
* Majeh grunts as electricity sparks through his body.
* Neoforte climbs to his feet quickly "Damnit..! We need to get Majeh out of the way before he gets killed!"
* Rion looks at Nightmare, then at Neoforte. "Right...." He says. Without activating the energy blade, he unsheathes Shinryu, using the power of the Lightning amulet to activate the chain. "...I have to wait.... as much as it sucks to say this... I have to wait until Silver's worn herself out a bit before I can try again, or it may be useless."
* Tank stays where he is silently wondering if he'll have to knock out the last one standing and drag all of them to the hospital.
* Rion watches the battle, but at the same time he focuses on regaining what Chi he used in healing Neoforte, hoping that by the time he tries again he'll be at more or less full capacity.
* Nightmare suddenly jerks his arm back, then throws it to the side, the strange growths ripping off his arm as he swung, flying through the air at Silver and Majeh at high speeds, with enough force to rip clear through trees and keep going strong.
* Silver dives up and hovers in the sky to avoid the attack, and it seemed as if it took her very little effort to fly..
* Silver raises her neck up, then smashes it downward in an attempt to throw Majeh off.
* Majeh held strong, not falling from Silver's head.
* Nightmare jumps up into the air powerfully, aiming to deliver a punch to Silver's stomach while she was focused on the guy hanging off her head.
* Silver takes the hit and gets sent backward, still desperately trying to shake Majeh off her head.
<Tank> I know it's probably none of my business... But what's going on?
* Suprema glares at Tank then walks over to Neoforte and Rion, "It's apparent Majeh stands no chance in the middle of those two... As you said we need to get him out of there... Got any ideas?"
* Kuma walks up to the group. "..."
* Rion shakes his head. "Even if we get Majeh off..... I'll have to put myself in his situation to try and calm Silver down."
* Kuma closes his eyes. "Leave him. He'll probably try to kill you if you get in his way right now."
<Neoforte> Damnit Majeh... Doesn't he realize he's just putting himself in the line of fire? And hindering Silver's ability to fight? He'll just get himself and the girl killed.
* Suprema sighs, "At this point it's probably impossible... we have to wait until one or both of them either kill or KO each other."
* Kuma looks at Suprema "Exactly. We shouldn't endanger everyone for the sake of a few."
<Rion> ...You're sounding awfully familiar, Kuma....
* Majeh looks down at Nightmare as Silver tries to shake him off. "Damn you! STAY THE HELL AWAY!
* Nightmare uncharacteristically yells back at Majeh "F**k you! This fight's mine! Get out of the way!"
* Majeh grits his teeth. "BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T LEAVE HER BE!"
* Silver raises a claw and attempts to grab Majeh in it.
* Nightmare jumps back up, thrusting his hands at Silver, long tendrils with sharp barbs at the end ripping up from his arm and flying at Silver and Majeh, aiming to indiscriminately stab whatever he reaches.
* Silver lowers her claw and turns her head to the attack, trying to make it hit Majeh in desperation to get him off.
* Majeh lets go of Silver's head, and spins around, swinging his arm and creating a wall of flame to destroy the tendrils. "I'LL SAY IT ONLY ONE MORE TIME! BACK OFF!"
* Nightmare lunges at Majeh "If I have to kill you too, then so be it!"
* Silver spirals toward the ground and lands, waiting..
* Majeh roars at Nightmare. "FINE! I'LL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!" He roars, forming a blade of fire in his hand and swings it at Nightmare.
<Rion> If there was a way to put Majeh to sleep without harming him so we can get him away..... I'm open to suggestions.
<Rion> Otherwise we'll have to wait until someone knocks him out....
* Kuma looks at Rion. "Leave them."
<Rion> .......
<Rion> If we do nothing, they're all going to die.... or at the very least get seriously injured.
* Suprema removes his sword and sheath, placing it on the ground. "This power... Majeh's overwhelmingly outmatched... Kuma, I know how he is feeling, but Neoforte and Rion are right... Silver's best chance to survive is to get Majeh out of there..."
* Nightmare leaps over the blade and throws his arm down at Majeh, a large blade ripping up from his forearm, which only got bigger and sharper as purple blood poured from the wound and reshaped itself around the blade.
* Majeh throws a kick at Nightmare's side, holding up his blade to block Nightmare's.
* Nightmare takes the kick, and drives his arm down at Majeh. His blade clashed with Majeh's and as the two collided, the black smoke ripping from Nightmare's back began swirling around him, and suddenly, and explosion of energy went off, throwing Majeh through the air, Nightmare landing on the ground, then turning back to Silver.
* Silver takes a few steps closer to Nightmare at that, staring at him once again.
<Neoforte> They can't control themselves at this point...
<Tank> I figured that. This is taking berserking to a different level though.
* Rion shakes his head. "Whatever....." He says, sighing as he sees Silver land. "Now or never....." He says. He quickly runs in the direction of the fight, using the deactivated blade in conjunction with the lightning chain to hook onto Silver's armor, sending himself in her direction.
<Suprema> Rion! Gah, That idiot!
<Tank> Huh, and I thought he was one of the sane ones.
<Suprema> Dammit Rion... He doesn't realize the danger he's putting himself in.
* Silver doesn't notice Rion quite yet, keeping her attention on Nightmare.
* Nightmare dashes at Silver "Looks like I need to teach you some manners, little girl!" by this point, he seemed like a completely different person.
* Silver charges at Nightmare as he dashes.
* Rion sighs in relief, glad he hadn't been noticed just yet. Upon landing, he holds onto one of the spikes as support, while using his free hand to begin focusing White Chi in an attempt to counteract the effects of the Blight.
* Nightmare crosses his arms in front of him as he ran, more of those funny oval things budding off his arms, then came to an abrupt stop and used Rion landing on her as a distraction, and threw both arms to the side, aiming to pummel her and rip apart her armor by hurling the things at her via some serious blunt-force trauma.
* Silver still doesn't notice Rion quite yet as her attention was completely focused on Nightmare now. She jumps up and over the attack, then spirals and effortlessly flies over behind Nightmare. She swings her many tail-blades at him.
* Nightmare lets the blades dig into him, blood and flesh being thrown aside as the blades rip through his back, but from the open wounds, blood sprayed out, which while in flight, turned into many fast moving needles that flew at Silver.
* Nightmare quickly turned around after the attack, as the wound healed over completely, and lunged at her again.
* Silver 's armor blocks most of the needles, but some of her fly and stick in to un-armored parts of her face. She growls, then prepares to dodge whatever is next.
* Rion continues to try and break through the Blight using his Chi, hoping to reach Silver before she notices he's still hanging onto her.
* Nightmare throws his arm out, his arm actually ripping off at the forearm just before the elbow, and flew at Silver, his hand open as if to grab, but his forearm was still connected to the rest of his arm by what looked like long, fleshy threads on the inside of his arm. As his hand flew at her, his fingers grew into a large claw, attempting to grab her neck from a distance with this move.
* Silver is grabbed by this attack, though most of it grabbed her armored parts.
* Nightmare lets the spikes on her armor pierce his hand, still grabbing her tightly and reeling her in, once dragging her closer, swung her over his head and slamming her onto the ground on the other side of him dropping Silver on Rion in the process.
* Rion is sent toward the ground thanks to that attack. "Goddammit...." He says, pushing off of Silver and extending the lightning chain to swing away as Silver hits the ground. He lands on the ground nearby, rolling away. "Fine time for me to not be noticed..." He grumbles, looking at the two while he waited for another opening.
* Nightmare raises his left arm, but as he begins to form it into a large blade, his arm began sparking with a white energy, causing him to grunt and let Silver go.
* Nightmare stumbles back, digging his right hand into his left forearm, which was still sparking.
* Silver charges at Nightmare with a roar, and attempts to hit him with a blast of blight combined with electricity.
* Nightmare stumbles back, focused on his arm, barely noticing Silver. He then ripped his hand out of his arm, taking the Light Amulet out with it. Apparently, it had been interfering with his attack. He threw it to the side and looked up, just in time for Silver's attack to slam into him.
* Silver stops dead in her tracks and waits once again, her breathing starting to get heavy.
* Tank watches the amulet fly away. "Huh? Did he throw something?"
* Suprema looks over toward the amulet. "That explains it."
* Tank walks over and picks it up. "This thing is resonating with a light aura..."
<Rion> .....The Light Amulet?
* Tank gets an idea.
* Tank hurls the amulet at Rion. "Here!"
* Rion heads over to Tank, before catching the amulet. He raises an eyebrow. "Uh... Okay... Did we just hive mind?"
* Nightmare doesn't wait for the smoke to clear from the blast, leaping out at Silver once again, his left arm in the shape of a large, sharp drill, not unlike what he used to pierce the chest of that ancient dragon they fought not too long ago.
* Silver lashes her neck out, aiming to catch the drill in her mouth.
* Rion shakes his head, before looking at the battle. "Oh no..."
* Nightmare powerfully stabs at Silver, she caught the drill in her mouth, but that probably hurt a lot. He takes the opportunity to aim another attack. He stomped his foot into the ground, causing a purple spike to rip up from underneath her.
* Silver twitches as the drill is caught in her mouth. The tip of it digs in to the roof of her mouth slightly. She then immediately released her grip, causing the spike to only graze the unarmored part of her side. Using that opportunity, she quickly sends a massive shock wave of blight and electricity toward him.
* Nightmare is caught off guard by her slick maneuver there, and is hit by the blast, yelling out in pain as he's sent flying back.
* Nightmare catches his balance rather quickly, his left arm blown off and burns all over his body. A purple goo began oozing from his shoulder, reforming his arm, and the burns healing slower than usual. He was breathing heavily, but was shooting Silver one hell of a death glare.
* Silver takes a few steps forward, blood leaking out of the new wound on her side. Her walking was labored, and she had a bit of a limp now.
* Tank looks at Neoforte. "Can you calm Nightmare down?"
<Neoforte> I don't know yet... I never could get him to calm down very easily... Usually had to fight him til he wore himself out, and he'd come to his senses...
* Rion looks over as well, nodding. "This should do the trick..." He says, holding the Light Amulet.
* Rion then thinks...
<Rion> How about if we can separate the two? Get them far enough away so they're not focused on each other?
* Nightmare began to growl "I've been watching you for some time, woman. That idiot never called you on your bullcrap before..."
* Nightmare roars "But I'm not such a nice guy! I'm not about to let a bitch like you walk all over what's rightfully mine!"
* Silver just stares at Nightmare, blankly.
<Rion> What the hell?
* Tank looks at Neoforte. "What's he talking about?"
<Neoforte> I...
* Rion looks at Neoforte. ".....Well?"
* Neoforte remained silent, staring at Nightmare. He seemed like he knew more than he was letting on, but also looked pretty confused himself.
<Rion> ......
* Suprema sighed, partially figuring it out on his own, "It appears Neoforte is just as in the dark as us, Rion, just concentrate on helping Silver."
* Suprema glanced over at Neoforte after he spoke.
* Rion sighs, before looking between Silver and Nightmare. "It can't be much longer now.... if I can get another lucky moment like before, I might be able to do this."
<Neoforte> Damnit... Alright. Tank, if you can distract Silver for a moment, I'll do what I can to hold him off. Just wait for my signal.
* Nightmare takes a few steps closer to Silver "So I'm going to do what that girl thingy never could, and just kill you."
* Silver bears her fangs again, with a growl.
* Nightmare throws his arms to his sides "I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE Nightmare!" he yelled, as he did so, his hair suddenly grew and moved on it's own, sticking into the ground, causing orchid-colored spikes to shoot up from around Silver, attempting to pierce her on all sides.
* Silver yelps, narrowly avoiding the attack. The spikes managed to pierce through her unarmored paws, and a few got her sides.
* Nightmare runs at Silver, his hair still stuck in the ground, but tore at about it's normal length when he began running. He held his hand out to the side, some of that black smoke from his back rushing into his hand, and forming an energy ball.
* Silver throws her neck up and begins charing a massive ball of electrical blight.
* Nightmare stops then pulls his arm back "Eat this!" then threw the energy ball at Silver. It was fairly small in size, but was giving off a dangerous aura as it flew.
* Silver counters the blast with a line of green electricity.
* Nightmare pulls his arms over his face, shielding himself from the blast, as the two attacks collided, there was a massive explosion of black energy and electricity.
* Nightmare was sent skidding backward, breathing heavily.
* Silver is knocked back heavily by the attack, as she skids across the ground, her legs spread far from each other as to keep her ground.
* Neoforte activates his armor "Now." he* Neoforte activates his armor "Now."
* Rion nods. He watched Neoforte heading toward Nightmare, before looking over at Silver, waiting for the right time.
* Nightmare turns to Neoforte "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
* Suprema 's armor forms on his body as he follows Neoforte, staying close behind.
* Neoforte stops just short of running into Nightmare, then raises his hands, projecting a barrier around Nightmare.
<Nightmare> Back off! Now.
<Neoforte> Afraid I can't do that, sir..
* Nightmare raises his hand, pointing at Neoforte. Suddenly, his finger extends into a long blade, and stabs right through the barrier, and into Neoforte's shoulder and out the other end "I said, out of the way!"
* Neoforte grunts in pain, the barrier getting significantly weaker upon that attack.
* Nightmare breaks his finger off, leaving the long blade in Neoforte, then spins his leg around, kicking through the barrier and striking Neoforte, sending him flying to the side.
* Neoforte gets thrown aside, hitting the ground and doing a back flip to regain his footing.
* Majeh speeds through the air and smashes his fist into Nightmare's face as he's distracted by Neoforte, roaring at the top of his lungs.*
<Rion> Let's go, Tank.
* Rion runs in the direction Silver was sent in, allowing Tank to move ahead and be the distraction.
* Tank fires a Tank Shell on the ground near Silver, trying to draw her attention to him.
* Silver stares at the explosion and growls, her breathing intensely heavy at this point.
*Rion nods at Tank, before using the unactivated sword/lightning chain combo to hook onto Silver's armor again. He hurriedly made his way back onto Silver, hoping she wouldn't known him off as he raised both hands.
<Rion> Here goes nothing...
* The Light Amulet began to glow as Rion's hands began glowing with a White Chi Aura, this one stronger than the one before. He places both hands on Silver's unarmored skin, attempting to help her fight back the blight.
* Silver just stares blankly and wide eyed, not trying to pry Rion away..
<Rion> Silver... can you hear me?
* Silver looks at Rion, still with a void expression. She just stares.
<Rion> Come on.....
* Rion continues to try and break through the Blight with this increased force of White Chi
* Nightmare is sent skidding back by Majeh's attack "Tch, you again..."
* Majeh didn't stop moving and just followed up, forming two blades of white fire, with an x shaped slash at Nightmare's chest.
* Tank notices Majeh fly at Nightmare. "Good, he's still alive."
* Nightmare is struck across the chest, grunting and stumbling back, but the wound beginning to heal over rather quickly "Bastard..." Nightmare growled, before opening his mouth, his tongue actually extending out of his mouth and flying at Majeh, with the intention of running him through with it.
* Suprema lunged at Nightmare's side and slashed vertically, "Nightmare! YOU HAVE TO STOP YOURSELF!"
* Majeh roars, spinning around, avoiding the tongue and slashing at it with his blades, before charging at Nightmare once more, swinging both blades at his gut, trying to lob him in half.
* Nightmare lets Suprema's sword dig into his side, the blood sent flying pulling a similar trick as with Silver, and turning into needles that stuck into Suprema, before reaching out and grabbing Suprema by the neck with his right arm, his tongue now severed, pulling Suprema into the path of Majeh's attack.
* Nightmare raises his left arm and extends his fingers into blades that reach around Suprema, aiming to stab Majeh once he stopped to avoid hitting Suprema.
* Majeh growls, leaping over Nightmare and Suprema, then charging low from the ground behind Nightmare, trying to lob him half from behind.
* Nightmare ducks under the slash, slamming Suprema into the ground and turning in the process, then released him, and what was left of his now long tongue, stabbing at Majeh once again.
* Majeh moves out of the way and grabs onto Nightmare's tongue, before yanking it back toward him.
* Nightmare lets his tongue get ripped off, the thing then binding around Majeh's arm and releasing several small spikes from it, stabbing into his hand and forearm. Nightmare then rose his arm to attack again, only to have his attack halted by Neoforte grabbing his arm from behind.
* Suprema crawled away and brushed himself off, "Bastard..."
* Nightmare growled and turned his attention to Neoforte, his hair moving on it's own and stabbing at Neoforte.
* Neoforte quickly let go of Nightmare's arm and jumped back, to avoid the attack, then fired several small shots at Nightmare's back, causing him to growl in pain.
* Majeh growls at Nightmare, grabbing onto the tongue and yanking it from his arm, letting blood squirt out of the many holes in his arm. He charges once more, throwing his fist at Nightmare's face, lighting it ablaze with white fire.
* Nightmare raises his arm to block the attack, sending him recoiling back, and setting his arm ablaze. He then ripped his flaming arm off and threw it at Majeh, as a new one began to grow back.
<Suprema> "I guess it's true then..." He slashed his blade diagonally through the air releasing a crescent blade of green chi toward Nightmare's side.
* Majeh swats Nightmare's arm aside and charged once more, throwing a flurry of punches at Nightmare, each one covered in white fire.
* Nightmare is struck by Suprema's attack, grunting again, and stumbling back, then is sent recoiling back again as Majeh struck him several times, burning him with each punch.
* Silver then closes her eyes tight for a moment, and upon opening them, slowly rose in to the air..
<Rion> W-woah.... Silver, what are you doing...? *he says, a bit confused as Silver began taking to the air*
* Silver turns toward a myriad of trees, then looks at Rion.
* Tank raises his arm and considers blasting her wings with charged energy but doesn't fire.
<Rion> ....You understand me, don't you....
* Rion then looks at Tank "No, this is good...."
<Rion> I think she's trying to keep herself from focusing on Nightmare again by getting away from here.....
<Rion> And right now, that's exactly what needs to happen.... if they stop focusing on each other, there may be hope yet.
* Silver nods slowly at Rion, her eyes flashing, which made her cringe. She started to fly in to the trees, slowly at first, as if she was waiting for something..
* Rion then holds on as Silver flies into the trees. "Don't worry.... I'm sure they can wear Nightmare down from there.... You got him pretty tired from what I saw..."
* Tank grits his teeth thinking Rion can handle himself at this point.
* Rion wasn't sure why Silver was flying slowly, but he continued using the Light Amulet with his own Chi, since it was helping more than without, and took a lot less energy as well.
* Silver then blasts off through the trees suddenly, and soon crash lands quite a ways off.
<Rion> WOAH!
* Rion holds on tightly as Silver crashes into the ground. "...Are you all right?"
* Silver breaths heavily, her eyes slowly starting to stop their glow.
* Rion sighs in relief. "Okay.... I think I can focus on something else for now... sound good?" He asked, as the aura died down, only for him to form an orb of White Chi using both hands, this time using a larger version of the Threads of Life spell thanks to the Light Amulet.
* Silver slowly changes back in to her normal human form, as her wounds start to heal as well.
* Rion smiles a bit, seeing that the wounds were healing up pretty well as Silver began transforming. "Whew....." He finally said as the remainder of the orb was pulled into the remaining wounds as more healed.
* Nightmare jumps back a little and falls to a kneel, the black smoke rising from his back not as thick as it was earlier. He then clenched his hand over his right eye as the wounds on him began to heal "Damnit... Not yet... I haven't killed them yet..."
<Nightmare> Let me go to the next stage you bastard!
<Nightmare> You don't get to call the shots anymore! It's my turn now!
* Majeh growls, summoning his blades once more. He walks toward Nightmare slowly.
* Suprema walks forward, creating the cannon on his arm and firing a green chi orb at Nightmare.
* Nightmare clenched his head as if he were in excruciating pain, then is struck by Suprema's attack, knocking him onto his back.
* Nightmare clawed at his head, his eyes closed tightly "Not yet... I need more power... I've grown weak because of you..."
* Tank watches, waiting for either things to die down or worsen.
* Suprema holds his cannon arm toward Nightmare, while keeping a good distance away.
* Nightmare was on the ground, struggling slightly. By now, then gem around his neck had dimmed significantly, to almost a grey color, his voice sounding weak and strained "Curse you... You don't deserve... This power..." before he eventually fell silent, his arms falling limp to his sides.
* Neoforte walks up and places his hand on Suprema's arm, turning the cannon away from Nightmare slowly.
* Suprema sighs, and turns to Neoforte as his cannon vanishes, "He's regained control now... hasn't he?"
* Neoforte nods slowly.
* Nightmare lay still on the ground, no black smoke or anything. Just remaining motionless.
* Majeh stops walking, his blades fading away. He slowly falls to a kneel and holds his arm, blood pouring from it.
* Suprema smiles slightly, then turns to Majeh, and walks over to him, using a small powered healing spell on him to hold until they return to west.
* Neoforte walks over and picks Nightmare up, and begins carrying him back to the ship "Everyone, get on board... We'll take the Sypher and go look for Rion and Silver, and hope they're okay."
* Majeh is quiet but grits his teeth. Slowly standing up and walking back to the ship.
<Rion> That... was too close...
* Silver looks up at Rion, her breathing still heavy. She put a hand on her head, "..That was..ugh.."
<Rion> Tell me about it.... you guys nearly tore each other to shreds....
* Silver sits herself up, "..The worst part..it was like I was spectating..and I couldn't do anything about it.."
<Rion> .....I think... Nightmare was the same way.
<Rion> He wasn't himself at all... it was like when we fought that dragon, but worse....
* Silver nods slowly, "..Yeah.."
<Rion> Well... as hard as it is.... at least there's a bright side to this... you're not alone. It's obvious now that Nightmare knows what you're going through, even if it's because he's going through something similar.
<Silver> ..Very obvious, indeed..*She sat up slowly, cringing as she did so.* Ow..
This fight started with a heated argument (which normally, nobody cares about, but considering the circumstances, you might actually be interested to know how this fight broke out, so I'll include it) but I'll separate the fight and the argument so you can skip over the former if you really don't care.
Also, this fight sorta changes focus a lot, so I've taken the liberty of making new paragraphs and stuff whenever there was a slight focus change. So it might get kinda chaotic, but bear with me. XP
Anyways. Epic fight now;
Epic Argument!
* Nightmare walks up to Rion and Silver crossing his arms "...Silver..."
<Rion> .....Well.... If it helps you feel better.... *He is then interrupted by Nightmare, looking over at him. He wonders if Nightmare's finally going to try and help Silver, since at least to Rion it seemed that Nightmare knew what she was going through.*
<Rion> I think he wants to talk to you....
<Nightmare> Silver... What's going on with you lately?
* Silver looks at Nightmare, "..I'm a monster, what does it look like..?"
* Nightmare frowns "I wouldn't call you a monster..."
* Rion frowns.
* Silver then sighs, "..Why not.."
<Nightmare> Well... I've known you for awhile, and you don't seem like a monster to me...
<Silver> ..I killed that innocent lady..
* Rion doesn't say anything this time, remembering that Nightmare was trying to say this before.
<Nightmare> I realize that...
<Nightmare> I think if you helped me to understand what was going on better, I may be able to help you.
* Silver looks up at Nightmare, "Remember when I touched that crystal?"
<Nightmare> You mean when we were fighting Oofoo or whatever? Yeah, I guess so...
* Silver blinks, then just shrugs, "..Well, my soul was already partially blighted before that, but now I'd say it's near 100%.."
<Nightmare> Well... Isn't there a way to remove it?
<Nightmare> I mean, surely if you can get infected by it, you can...Disinfect it?
<Nightmare> We can't have you going around killing people like that, you know?
* Silver shakes her head, "..Its permanent. Removing it would destroy my very soul... It's non-reversable..I could probably slowly gain control over it, though..like I did before.."
<Nightmare> Well, is there a way to help with that?
* Rion looks over at Silver, wondering what the answer would be.
<Nightmare> I mean, Neoforte said your aura looked rather unstable. How easy will it be to gain control of something like that?
* Silver shrugs, "Not easy, but possible..," Then growls a little upon hearing the name..
<Nightmare> Well... Help me out here. I wanna be able to help you, but if you keep acting all secretive about this stuff, I can't think of a way to help you...
* Rion scratches his head. "He's right.... we want to help you get through this."
* Silver shrugs, "..I appreciate it, but..I'm just not sure how.."
<Rion> Hmmm....
<Rion> Well... if we had a sure-fire way to either keep you from freaking out, or if nothing else calm you down if it happens... that'd be better than nothing.
<Nightmare> Well, maybe we should take you back to get checked out again? We all want to help you. Neoforte and I included, despite what you may have thought.
* Silver shakes her head, "Doctors can't do anything about this.."
<Nightmare> Well, maybe we can?
* Silver blinks and looks up at Nightmare, "Huh?"
* Rion thinks a bit, mainly back to just after Silver killed Urufu.
<Nightmare> I don't know.. We got a lot of machines lying around... Neoforte, Spex, and I that is...
<Nightmare> If we run some tests, we might find something...
* Silver shakes her head again, "..This is no matter of what technology can do..its bound to my soul, and is now a part of my well being.."
<Nightmare> There's nothing technology can't do! We just need to find out what to do, and how to do it.
<Rion> He probably means he can make a better diagnosis of what to do to help you....
* Silver then looks at the ground, "..besides..I heard what you and Neoforte were talking about.."
<Nightmare> Uhh... Well...
<Nightmare> You must have taken something out of context...
* Rion sighs. "I wish I could say I could be of help.... but Inari showed up before I was able to tell if the White Chi was helping you or not.... it was a slow-progression kind of thing from what I could tell." He says, scratching his head. He supposed it was better than nothing.
* Silver shrugs, "..I think it helped..," Then looked at Nightmare again, "..No, I don't think I did.."
* Nightmare crosses his arms "Well, I don't know what you think you heard, but we just want to help."
* Silver sighs, "..Basically said what I am..a monster..," she growled a little, her eye flashing a slightly brighter green now.
* Nightmare frowns "I said no such thing. Now stop acting like a fool. If we really thought you were a monster, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now, wouldn't I?"
* Silver growls a little again, "..Fool..?"
<Rion> .....
<Nightmare> Yes. You're childishly pushing us away, when all we want to do is help you.
<Nightmare> And quite frankly, it's getting a little frustrating.
* Silver stands up at that, her eye taking on a brighter glow, "..."
<Nightmare> Can't you see the toll it's taking on all of us? On Majeh especially?
<Rion> .....Nightmare, calm down.... we're not the only ones it's taking a toll on.
* Silver clenches one fist so hard that blood starts leaking down from her hand. She stays quiet this time.
* Nightmare rubs his right eye a little "No. I'm not just gonna stand by while we're all emotionally ravaged by this. We've all been through a lot, we can't let something like this tear us apart now."
<Rion> That's all well and good.... but if we can't do this calmly it could cause more issues..... I'd rather we didn't have to do something drastic because of misspoken words.
* Silver turns her head away, with a slight, almost involuntary, growl.
<Nightmare> I'm not misspeaking anything. You can't tell me you haven't noticed this selfish behavior too?
<Silver> ..Selfish..? I can leave right now if you'd like me too..
<Nightmare> You see what I'm talking about? You still don't get it, do you?
<Rion> Silver... we don't want you to leave.
<Rion> Now, I dunno if I can say the same for Neoforte, but I'd rather try and find a better solution than just eliminating someone over a mishap.
* Silver turns her head, her green eye mirroring that of what it looked like when she killed the hospital attendant.
<Rion> And I'm sure you'd agree with that, right Nightmare?
* Nightmare looks over at Rion "Don't talk about him that way.. Neoforte just has our best interests at heart... That includes Silver here."
* Nightmare then turns to look at Silver "You can look as scary as you want. But you need to calm down, and think about this for a minute."
* Silver twitches a little, "..You think I'm doing this on purpose..?"
<Rion> ......Dammit...
* Nightmare lets out a heavy sigh "That's not what I meant." the gem around his neck, which was normally it's mellow green color, or a concerned blue, began to change "You're being awfully antagonistic."
* Silver looks toward the ground, allowing some of her hair to hide her green eye slightly.
* Rion walked toward Silver, hoping she was right in saying that White Chi helped her before. He placed a hand on her shoulder, which began to glow a bit. "Let's just all cool off for a few minutes..... this isn't something we'll be able to handle with ease."
* Nightmare cautiously approaches Silver as well, but doesn't say anything at first.
* Silver looks at Rion out of the corner of her normal eye, hoping it would help again before something regrettable happened..she then stares at Nightmare, not moving..
* Nightmare walks up, stopping right in front of Silver "...Are you alright?"
* Silver slowly raises her hand and hits Nightmare's arm, not hard, but definitely not soft either.
<Rion> .....Come on, Silver.... he's trying to make sure you're okay....
* Nightmare winces a little and rubs his arm "What was that?"
* Silver twitches slightly, staying quiet.
<Nightmare> So we're hitting now, are we? And here I thought what I said was starting to sink in...
<Rion> Nightmare... I don't think she meant to....
* Silver puts one hand on her head and growls again.
* Nightmare rubs his eye again "You'd best calm down. I'd rather this not get out of hand..."
<Rion> ........
* Silver growls once again, "..Don't..you think I'm..trying..?"
* The glowing around Rion's hand expanded to more of an aura as he increased the rate at which he was using his Chi to help Silver regain control.*
* Nightmare seemed uncharacteristically antagonistic himself at this point "I don't know. Part of me is thinking you just wanted to hit me."
<Nightmare> Though I don't see why you didn't make it worth it if you were gonna go through the trouble...
* Silver twitches at that..the chi was indeed starting to help, but it was being canceled out by general anger..
<Rion> Nightmare..... what are you doing...?
<Nightmare> What are you talking about?
<Rion> You're acting pretty antagonistic yourself.....
* Nightmare scoffs "I don't think I am. I think the way I'm acting fits the situation rather well."
<Rion> I thought we were trying to help things, not piss Silver off even more?
<Nightmare> I'm not trying to piss anyone off!
* Silver continues staring at the ground, her teeth gritting together.
* Nightmare crosses his arms again, the gem around his neck by now turning a red color. He was obviously angry.
<Rion> Well what else would make you think she would just -want- to hit you? *he then sighs, seeing that both of them were obviously angry, and he was starting to get a bit agitated himself*
<Nightmare> Well, you heard the way she was talking. She seems to think the whole world is against her.
* Silver grips her head tighter, staying quiet.
* Nightmare walks up to Silver again "Hey, are you alright, or what?"
<Rion> Well you're starting to sound like you're actually against her at this point....
* Rion then notices Silver gripping her head more tightly. "...Silver...?"
* Silver almost instantly changes in to her blighted dragon form, black and green armor included. She stared at Nightmare with one green eye and one red eye, both wide open and void of emotion.
<Rion> ....Not again....
* Nightmare glared up at Silver "So. We're back to turning on our friends, are we?"
* Silver growls, her fangs bared in a grin.
<Rion> ....Dammit Nightmare, that's enough.... She's losing control.... We need to try and get her back to normal, not make things worse!
* Rion closes his eyes, focusing his aura a bit more in an attempt to reverse the change before things got worse.
* Nightmare's eye twitched "Shut up." he began rubbing his right eye again.
* Silver 's anger seems to be to great currently for much to help..
* Rion looks up, only to see that Silver didn't even seem to be affected by the Chi. "...This is bad..."
* Nightmare lowered his hand, opening his eyes and looking back up at Silver. His right eye's iris was now a red color, as opposed to the purple in the other eye "Silver... I'm only going to ask you nicely one more time..."
<Nightmare> Calm. Down.
* Silver takes a few steps forward, continuing her voided gaze. It was obvious she had long gone over the edge.
* Rion sighs. "....I don't think Silver hears us anymore, Nightmare..... I tried to stop this..."
* Nightmare surprisingly stood his ground, just raising his head higher to keep his eyes level with hers as she got closer "..." his other eye slowly changing as well.
* Rion looks at Nightmare as his eyes begin to change. He then looks between Nightmare and Silver, his eyes widening as he realizes what was about to happen. "Not you too...."
* Silver pays no mind to anything but Nightmare, her anger combining with the blight heavily this time around..
* Nightmare crosses his arms as Silver gets closer "...Well?"
<Rion> Nightmare, you can't be serious.... if you two attack each other like this.....
* Silver stands on her hind legs for a moment, tosses her head up, and roars, though still doesn't move to make an attack..yet..
<Nightmare> Hah. I guess that's supposed to be a threat or something..?
* Rion shakes his head, before running toward the ship, moving his arms in an attempt to tell Luna to get the ship away from here, as if it wasn't obvious enough that some serious crap was about to hit the fan.
* Silver lands on all fours and started to walk closer, slowly.
* Nightmare dropped his arms to his sides, still just staring at Silver, silently.
* Silver stops where she is and stares again, licking her fangs as she did so.
* The ship begins to take off, moving away from the impending battle.*
* Majeh hearing the roar, runs out of the room and heads outside, running past Rion on the way.
<Nightmare> If you were gonna attack me, you would have done it by now. So cut this bulls**t out, right now.
* Rion stops, before running back after Majeh. "This is bad.... Silver's already gone... and I think Nightmare's losing it too..."
* Neoforte follows Majeh out of the ship "Oh no..."
* Silver comes closer, until her head was almost right against Nightmare's.
* Tank looks up and follows before the ship moves any farther.
* Rion looks at Neoforte. "It's happening again, isn't it... that self-proclaimed 'indigestion'....?"
<Neoforte> ...
* Neoforte runs up to Nightmare and Silver "Sir, get away from her!"
<Rion> ....
* Suprema stepped outside, and stopped near Rion. "What's going on?"
<Rion> .....Well.... If it helps you feel better.... *He is then interrupted by Nightmare, looking over at him. He wonders if Nightmare's finally going to try and help Silver, since at least to Rion it seemed that Nightmare knew what she was going through.*
<Rion> I think he wants to talk to you....
<Nightmare> Silver... What's going on with you lately?
* Silver looks at Nightmare, "..I'm a monster, what does it look like..?"
* Nightmare frowns "I wouldn't call you a monster..."
* Rion frowns.
* Silver then sighs, "..Why not.."
<Nightmare> Well... I've known you for awhile, and you don't seem like a monster to me...
<Silver> ..I killed that innocent lady..
* Rion doesn't say anything this time, remembering that Nightmare was trying to say this before.
<Nightmare> I realize that...
<Nightmare> I think if you helped me to understand what was going on better, I may be able to help you.
* Silver looks up at Nightmare, "Remember when I touched that crystal?"
<Nightmare> You mean when we were fighting Oofoo or whatever? Yeah, I guess so...
* Silver blinks, then just shrugs, "..Well, my soul was already partially blighted before that, but now I'd say it's near 100%.."
<Nightmare> Well... Isn't there a way to remove it?
<Nightmare> I mean, surely if you can get infected by it, you can...Disinfect it?
<Nightmare> We can't have you going around killing people like that, you know?
* Silver shakes her head, "..Its permanent. Removing it would destroy my very soul... It's non-reversable..I could probably slowly gain control over it, though..like I did before.."
<Nightmare> Well, is there a way to help with that?
* Rion looks over at Silver, wondering what the answer would be.
<Nightmare> I mean, Neoforte said your aura looked rather unstable. How easy will it be to gain control of something like that?
* Silver shrugs, "Not easy, but possible..," Then growls a little upon hearing the name..
<Nightmare> Well... Help me out here. I wanna be able to help you, but if you keep acting all secretive about this stuff, I can't think of a way to help you...
* Rion scratches his head. "He's right.... we want to help you get through this."
* Silver shrugs, "..I appreciate it, but..I'm just not sure how.."
<Rion> Hmmm....
<Rion> Well... if we had a sure-fire way to either keep you from freaking out, or if nothing else calm you down if it happens... that'd be better than nothing.
<Nightmare> Well, maybe we should take you back to get checked out again? We all want to help you. Neoforte and I included, despite what you may have thought.
* Silver shakes her head, "Doctors can't do anything about this.."
<Nightmare> Well, maybe we can?
* Silver blinks and looks up at Nightmare, "Huh?"
* Rion thinks a bit, mainly back to just after Silver killed Urufu.
<Nightmare> I don't know.. We got a lot of machines lying around... Neoforte, Spex, and I that is...
<Nightmare> If we run some tests, we might find something...
* Silver shakes her head again, "..This is no matter of what technology can do..its bound to my soul, and is now a part of my well being.."
<Nightmare> There's nothing technology can't do! We just need to find out what to do, and how to do it.
<Rion> He probably means he can make a better diagnosis of what to do to help you....

<Rion> .....

<Nightmare> And quite frankly, it's getting a little frustrating.
* Silver stands up at that, her eye taking on a brighter glow, "..."
<Nightmare> Can't you see the toll it's taking on all of us? On Majeh especially?

* Silver slowly raises her hand and hits Nightmare's arm, not hard, but definitely not soft either.
<Rion> .....Come on, Silver.... he's trying to make sure you're okay....
* Nightmare winces a little and rubs his arm "What was that?"
* Silver twitches slightly, staying quiet.
<Nightmare> So we're hitting now, are we? And here I thought what I said was starting to sink in...
<Rion> Nightmare... I don't think she meant to....
* Silver puts one hand on her head and growls again.
* Nightmare rubs his eye again "You'd best calm down. I'd rather this not get out of hand..."

* Nightmare glared up at Silver "So. We're back to turning on our friends, are we?"
* Silver growls, her fangs bared in a grin.
<Rion> ....Dammit Nightmare, that's enough.... She's losing control.... We need to try and get her back to normal, not make things worse!

* Nightmare dropped his arms to his sides, still just staring at Silver, silently.
* Silver stops where she is and stares again, licking her fangs as she did so.
* The ship begins to take off, moving away from the impending battle.*
* Majeh hearing the roar, runs out of the room and heads outside, running past Rion on the way.
<Nightmare> If you were gonna attack me, you would have done it by now. So cut this bulls**t out, right now.
* Rion stops, before running back after Majeh. "This is bad.... Silver's already gone... and I think Nightmare's losing it too..."
* Neoforte follows Majeh out of the ship "Oh no..."
* Silver comes closer, until her head was almost right against Nightmare's.
* Tank looks up and follows before the ship moves any farther.
* Rion looks at Neoforte. "It's happening again, isn't it... that self-proclaimed 'indigestion'....?"
<Neoforte> ...
* Neoforte runs up to Nightmare and Silver "Sir, get away from her!"
<Rion> ....
* Suprema stepped outside, and stopped near Rion. "What's going on?"
Fighting starts here now
* Nightmare turns his head slightly, looking at Neoforte out of the corner of his eyes, but doesn't say anything, turning his head back to Silver.
<Rion> Silver's gone off the deep end... and I think Nightmare's having 'problems' with his stomach again.....
* Neoforte runs up next to Nightmare and holds out his hand, charging a large energy blast in his hand, aiming at Silver.
* Nightmare turns back to Neoforte "Neoforte..!"
* Rion then looks over at Neoforte, seeing that he was being ignored by Nightmare. "Neoforte... if Nightmare's about to try and do to Silver what he did to that one dragon.... we need to know now. We can't ha--.... God dammit..."
* Majeh leaps from the ground and lands in front of Silver, his sword drawn and pointed at Neoforte, his eyes full of white fire.
* Silver then stares at Neoforte, and upon seeing the potential attack, swings her head at him with an open mouth.
* Neoforte discharges the energy and quickly attempts to block Silver's oncoming attack.
<Rion> Dammit.... Dammit dammit dammit...
* Silver aims to grab him in her jaws, and not in a gentle fashion.
* Majeh spins around grabs Silver's neck with his free arm, forming his wings and trying to pull her head away from Neoforte.
* Neoforte gets bit by Silver, protecting most of his torso with his arms, grunting in pain.
* Nightmare 's eyes widen suddenly, then jumps forward and powerfully punches Silver, trying to throw her away and free Neoforte.
* Silver takes the punch and rears up on her hind legs with a slight yelp, followed by a growl.
* Neoforte pulls himself from Silver's jaws, and skids back. He hadn't had time to activate his armor, so little stopped her teeth from sinking into his flesh "Damnit..."
* Silver rips her head away from Majeh's grasp and swings a claw at him.
* Nightmare stood in front of Silver, slowly approaching, hunched over, his arms hanging limp down at his sides "Now you've gone too far..." a black smoke began to raise from his back, his words grunted out through a growl.
* Majeh grunts as he gets large cuts on his chest, skidding back before he drops his sword and rushes at Silver again, trying to push her back with as much force he could manage.
* Rion heads over to Neoforte, already preparing a spell. As an orb of White Chi forms in his hand, he looks at the wounded Neoforte. "I need to know if White Chi will help Nightmare at all.... and you'll know better than any of us." He says as he begins to heal the wounds.
<Neoforte> I appreciate the help... But no amount of White Chi you could produce would be enough...
<Rion> ......Then that settles it....
<Rion> If this works, I'm gonna need you to try and calm Nightmare down.... but I think Silver might be too far gone for me to do anything for her either....
* Silver meets Majeh with her head as he rushes and attempts to bat him away, her power much increased, most likely due to anger..
* Majeh is tossed aside, but remains on his feet, charging at her again.
* Nightmare raises one of his arms crossed in front of his chest "You'd best quit attacking him..." he growled as something began to branch off of his forearm. They appeared to be several oval-shaped growths budding off of arm.
* Silver repeats the same procedure, this time trying to knock him toward a tree.
* Majeh grabs onto Silver's head and holds on tight. "NO! STAY OUT OF MY WAY!"
* Silver thrashes her head backward, as green electricity begins to flow through her body.
* Majeh grunts as electricity sparks through his body.
* Neoforte climbs to his feet quickly "Damnit..! We need to get Majeh out of the way before he gets killed!"
* Rion looks at Nightmare, then at Neoforte. "Right...." He says. Without activating the energy blade, he unsheathes Shinryu, using the power of the Lightning amulet to activate the chain. "...I have to wait.... as much as it sucks to say this... I have to wait until Silver's worn herself out a bit before I can try again, or it may be useless."
* Tank stays where he is silently wondering if he'll have to knock out the last one standing and drag all of them to the hospital.
* Rion watches the battle, but at the same time he focuses on regaining what Chi he used in healing Neoforte, hoping that by the time he tries again he'll be at more or less full capacity.
* Nightmare suddenly jerks his arm back, then throws it to the side, the strange growths ripping off his arm as he swung, flying through the air at Silver and Majeh at high speeds, with enough force to rip clear through trees and keep going strong.
* Silver dives up and hovers in the sky to avoid the attack, and it seemed as if it took her very little effort to fly..
* Silver raises her neck up, then smashes it downward in an attempt to throw Majeh off.
* Majeh held strong, not falling from Silver's head.
* Nightmare jumps up into the air powerfully, aiming to deliver a punch to Silver's stomach while she was focused on the guy hanging off her head.
* Silver takes the hit and gets sent backward, still desperately trying to shake Majeh off her head.
<Tank> I know it's probably none of my business... But what's going on?
* Suprema glares at Tank then walks over to Neoforte and Rion, "It's apparent Majeh stands no chance in the middle of those two... As you said we need to get him out of there... Got any ideas?"
* Kuma walks up to the group. "..."
* Rion shakes his head. "Even if we get Majeh off..... I'll have to put myself in his situation to try and calm Silver down."
* Kuma closes his eyes. "Leave him. He'll probably try to kill you if you get in his way right now."
<Neoforte> Damnit Majeh... Doesn't he realize he's just putting himself in the line of fire? And hindering Silver's ability to fight? He'll just get himself and the girl killed.
* Suprema sighs, "At this point it's probably impossible... we have to wait until one or both of them either kill or KO each other."
* Kuma looks at Suprema "Exactly. We shouldn't endanger everyone for the sake of a few."
<Rion> ...You're sounding awfully familiar, Kuma....
* Majeh looks down at Nightmare as Silver tries to shake him off. "Damn you! STAY THE HELL AWAY!
* Nightmare uncharacteristically yells back at Majeh "F**k you! This fight's mine! Get out of the way!"
* Majeh grits his teeth. "BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T LEAVE HER BE!"
* Silver raises a claw and attempts to grab Majeh in it.
* Nightmare jumps back up, thrusting his hands at Silver, long tendrils with sharp barbs at the end ripping up from his arm and flying at Silver and Majeh, aiming to indiscriminately stab whatever he reaches.
* Silver lowers her claw and turns her head to the attack, trying to make it hit Majeh in desperation to get him off.
* Majeh lets go of Silver's head, and spins around, swinging his arm and creating a wall of flame to destroy the tendrils. "I'LL SAY IT ONLY ONE MORE TIME! BACK OFF!"
* Nightmare lunges at Majeh "If I have to kill you too, then so be it!"
* Silver spirals toward the ground and lands, waiting..
* Majeh roars at Nightmare. "FINE! I'LL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!" He roars, forming a blade of fire in his hand and swings it at Nightmare.
<Rion> If there was a way to put Majeh to sleep without harming him so we can get him away..... I'm open to suggestions.
<Rion> Otherwise we'll have to wait until someone knocks him out....
* Kuma looks at Rion. "Leave them."
<Rion> .......
<Rion> If we do nothing, they're all going to die.... or at the very least get seriously injured.
* Suprema removes his sword and sheath, placing it on the ground. "This power... Majeh's overwhelmingly outmatched... Kuma, I know how he is feeling, but Neoforte and Rion are right... Silver's best chance to survive is to get Majeh out of there..."
* Nightmare leaps over the blade and throws his arm down at Majeh, a large blade ripping up from his forearm, which only got bigger and sharper as purple blood poured from the wound and reshaped itself around the blade.
* Majeh throws a kick at Nightmare's side, holding up his blade to block Nightmare's.
* Nightmare takes the kick, and drives his arm down at Majeh. His blade clashed with Majeh's and as the two collided, the black smoke ripping from Nightmare's back began swirling around him, and suddenly, and explosion of energy went off, throwing Majeh through the air, Nightmare landing on the ground, then turning back to Silver.
* Silver takes a few steps closer to Nightmare at that, staring at him once again.
<Neoforte> They can't control themselves at this point...
<Tank> I figured that. This is taking berserking to a different level though.
* Rion shakes his head. "Whatever....." He says, sighing as he sees Silver land. "Now or never....." He says. He quickly runs in the direction of the fight, using the deactivated blade in conjunction with the lightning chain to hook onto Silver's armor, sending himself in her direction.
<Suprema> Rion! Gah, That idiot!
<Tank> Huh, and I thought he was one of the sane ones.
<Suprema> Dammit Rion... He doesn't realize the danger he's putting himself in.
* Silver doesn't notice Rion quite yet, keeping her attention on Nightmare.
* Nightmare dashes at Silver "Looks like I need to teach you some manners, little girl!" by this point, he seemed like a completely different person.
* Silver charges at Nightmare as he dashes.
* Rion sighs in relief, glad he hadn't been noticed just yet. Upon landing, he holds onto one of the spikes as support, while using his free hand to begin focusing White Chi in an attempt to counteract the effects of the Blight.
* Nightmare crosses his arms in front of him as he ran, more of those funny oval things budding off his arms, then came to an abrupt stop and used Rion landing on her as a distraction, and threw both arms to the side, aiming to pummel her and rip apart her armor by hurling the things at her via some serious blunt-force trauma.
* Silver still doesn't notice Rion quite yet as her attention was completely focused on Nightmare now. She jumps up and over the attack, then spirals and effortlessly flies over behind Nightmare. She swings her many tail-blades at him.
* Nightmare lets the blades dig into him, blood and flesh being thrown aside as the blades rip through his back, but from the open wounds, blood sprayed out, which while in flight, turned into many fast moving needles that flew at Silver.
* Nightmare quickly turned around after the attack, as the wound healed over completely, and lunged at her again.
* Silver 's armor blocks most of the needles, but some of her fly and stick in to un-armored parts of her face. She growls, then prepares to dodge whatever is next.
* Rion continues to try and break through the Blight using his Chi, hoping to reach Silver before she notices he's still hanging onto her.
* Nightmare throws his arm out, his arm actually ripping off at the forearm just before the elbow, and flew at Silver, his hand open as if to grab, but his forearm was still connected to the rest of his arm by what looked like long, fleshy threads on the inside of his arm. As his hand flew at her, his fingers grew into a large claw, attempting to grab her neck from a distance with this move.
* Silver is grabbed by this attack, though most of it grabbed her armored parts.
* Nightmare lets the spikes on her armor pierce his hand, still grabbing her tightly and reeling her in, once dragging her closer, swung her over his head and slamming her onto the ground on the other side of him dropping Silver on Rion in the process.
* Rion is sent toward the ground thanks to that attack. "Goddammit...." He says, pushing off of Silver and extending the lightning chain to swing away as Silver hits the ground. He lands on the ground nearby, rolling away. "Fine time for me to not be noticed..." He grumbles, looking at the two while he waited for another opening.
* Nightmare raises his left arm, but as he begins to form it into a large blade, his arm began sparking with a white energy, causing him to grunt and let Silver go.
* Nightmare stumbles back, digging his right hand into his left forearm, which was still sparking.
* Silver charges at Nightmare with a roar, and attempts to hit him with a blast of blight combined with electricity.
* Nightmare stumbles back, focused on his arm, barely noticing Silver. He then ripped his hand out of his arm, taking the Light Amulet out with it. Apparently, it had been interfering with his attack. He threw it to the side and looked up, just in time for Silver's attack to slam into him.
* Silver stops dead in her tracks and waits once again, her breathing starting to get heavy.
* Tank watches the amulet fly away. "Huh? Did he throw something?"
* Suprema looks over toward the amulet. "That explains it."
* Tank walks over and picks it up. "This thing is resonating with a light aura..."
<Rion> .....The Light Amulet?
* Tank gets an idea.
* Tank hurls the amulet at Rion. "Here!"
* Rion heads over to Tank, before catching the amulet. He raises an eyebrow. "Uh... Okay... Did we just hive mind?"
* Nightmare doesn't wait for the smoke to clear from the blast, leaping out at Silver once again, his left arm in the shape of a large, sharp drill, not unlike what he used to pierce the chest of that ancient dragon they fought not too long ago.
* Silver lashes her neck out, aiming to catch the drill in her mouth.
* Rion shakes his head, before looking at the battle. "Oh no..."
* Nightmare powerfully stabs at Silver, she caught the drill in her mouth, but that probably hurt a lot. He takes the opportunity to aim another attack. He stomped his foot into the ground, causing a purple spike to rip up from underneath her.
* Silver twitches as the drill is caught in her mouth. The tip of it digs in to the roof of her mouth slightly. She then immediately released her grip, causing the spike to only graze the unarmored part of her side. Using that opportunity, she quickly sends a massive shock wave of blight and electricity toward him.
* Nightmare is caught off guard by her slick maneuver there, and is hit by the blast, yelling out in pain as he's sent flying back.
* Nightmare catches his balance rather quickly, his left arm blown off and burns all over his body. A purple goo began oozing from his shoulder, reforming his arm, and the burns healing slower than usual. He was breathing heavily, but was shooting Silver one hell of a death glare.
* Silver takes a few steps forward, blood leaking out of the new wound on her side. Her walking was labored, and she had a bit of a limp now.
* Tank looks at Neoforte. "Can you calm Nightmare down?"
<Neoforte> I don't know yet... I never could get him to calm down very easily... Usually had to fight him til he wore himself out, and he'd come to his senses...
* Rion looks over as well, nodding. "This should do the trick..." He says, holding the Light Amulet.
* Rion then thinks...
<Rion> How about if we can separate the two? Get them far enough away so they're not focused on each other?
* Nightmare began to growl "I've been watching you for some time, woman. That idiot never called you on your bullcrap before..."
* Nightmare roars "But I'm not such a nice guy! I'm not about to let a bitch like you walk all over what's rightfully mine!"
* Silver just stares at Nightmare, blankly.
<Rion> What the hell?
* Tank looks at Neoforte. "What's he talking about?"
<Neoforte> I...
* Rion looks at Neoforte. ".....Well?"
* Neoforte remained silent, staring at Nightmare. He seemed like he knew more than he was letting on, but also looked pretty confused himself.
<Rion> ......
* Suprema sighed, partially figuring it out on his own, "It appears Neoforte is just as in the dark as us, Rion, just concentrate on helping Silver."
* Suprema glanced over at Neoforte after he spoke.
* Rion sighs, before looking between Silver and Nightmare. "It can't be much longer now.... if I can get another lucky moment like before, I might be able to do this."
<Neoforte> Damnit... Alright. Tank, if you can distract Silver for a moment, I'll do what I can to hold him off. Just wait for my signal.
* Nightmare takes a few steps closer to Silver "So I'm going to do what that girl thingy never could, and just kill you."
* Silver bears her fangs again, with a growl.
* Nightmare throws his arms to his sides "I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE Nightmare!" he yelled, as he did so, his hair suddenly grew and moved on it's own, sticking into the ground, causing orchid-colored spikes to shoot up from around Silver, attempting to pierce her on all sides.
* Silver yelps, narrowly avoiding the attack. The spikes managed to pierce through her unarmored paws, and a few got her sides.
* Nightmare runs at Silver, his hair still stuck in the ground, but tore at about it's normal length when he began running. He held his hand out to the side, some of that black smoke from his back rushing into his hand, and forming an energy ball.
* Silver throws her neck up and begins charing a massive ball of electrical blight.
* Nightmare stops then pulls his arm back "Eat this!" then threw the energy ball at Silver. It was fairly small in size, but was giving off a dangerous aura as it flew.
* Silver counters the blast with a line of green electricity.
* Nightmare pulls his arms over his face, shielding himself from the blast, as the two attacks collided, there was a massive explosion of black energy and electricity.
* Nightmare was sent skidding backward, breathing heavily.
* Silver is knocked back heavily by the attack, as she skids across the ground, her legs spread far from each other as to keep her ground.
* Neoforte activates his armor "Now." he* Neoforte activates his armor "Now."
* Rion nods. He watched Neoforte heading toward Nightmare, before looking over at Silver, waiting for the right time.
* Nightmare turns to Neoforte "What the hell do you think you're doing!?"
* Suprema 's armor forms on his body as he follows Neoforte, staying close behind.
* Neoforte stops just short of running into Nightmare, then raises his hands, projecting a barrier around Nightmare.
<Nightmare> Back off! Now.
<Neoforte> Afraid I can't do that, sir..
* Nightmare raises his hand, pointing at Neoforte. Suddenly, his finger extends into a long blade, and stabs right through the barrier, and into Neoforte's shoulder and out the other end "I said, out of the way!"
* Neoforte grunts in pain, the barrier getting significantly weaker upon that attack.
* Nightmare breaks his finger off, leaving the long blade in Neoforte, then spins his leg around, kicking through the barrier and striking Neoforte, sending him flying to the side.
* Neoforte gets thrown aside, hitting the ground and doing a back flip to regain his footing.
* Majeh speeds through the air and smashes his fist into Nightmare's face as he's distracted by Neoforte, roaring at the top of his lungs.*
<Rion> Let's go, Tank.
* Rion runs in the direction Silver was sent in, allowing Tank to move ahead and be the distraction.
* Tank fires a Tank Shell on the ground near Silver, trying to draw her attention to him.
* Silver stares at the explosion and growls, her breathing intensely heavy at this point.
*Rion nods at Tank, before using the unactivated sword/lightning chain combo to hook onto Silver's armor again. He hurriedly made his way back onto Silver, hoping she wouldn't known him off as he raised both hands.
<Rion> Here goes nothing...
* The Light Amulet began to glow as Rion's hands began glowing with a White Chi Aura, this one stronger than the one before. He places both hands on Silver's unarmored skin, attempting to help her fight back the blight.
* Silver just stares blankly and wide eyed, not trying to pry Rion away..
<Rion> Silver... can you hear me?
* Silver looks at Rion, still with a void expression. She just stares.
<Rion> Come on.....
* Rion continues to try and break through the Blight with this increased force of White Chi
* Nightmare is sent skidding back by Majeh's attack "Tch, you again..."
* Majeh didn't stop moving and just followed up, forming two blades of white fire, with an x shaped slash at Nightmare's chest.
* Tank notices Majeh fly at Nightmare. "Good, he's still alive."
* Nightmare is struck across the chest, grunting and stumbling back, but the wound beginning to heal over rather quickly "Bastard..." Nightmare growled, before opening his mouth, his tongue actually extending out of his mouth and flying at Majeh, with the intention of running him through with it.
* Suprema lunged at Nightmare's side and slashed vertically, "Nightmare! YOU HAVE TO STOP YOURSELF!"
* Majeh roars, spinning around, avoiding the tongue and slashing at it with his blades, before charging at Nightmare once more, swinging both blades at his gut, trying to lob him in half.
* Nightmare lets Suprema's sword dig into his side, the blood sent flying pulling a similar trick as with Silver, and turning into needles that stuck into Suprema, before reaching out and grabbing Suprema by the neck with his right arm, his tongue now severed, pulling Suprema into the path of Majeh's attack.
* Nightmare raises his left arm and extends his fingers into blades that reach around Suprema, aiming to stab Majeh once he stopped to avoid hitting Suprema.
* Majeh growls, leaping over Nightmare and Suprema, then charging low from the ground behind Nightmare, trying to lob him half from behind.
* Nightmare ducks under the slash, slamming Suprema into the ground and turning in the process, then released him, and what was left of his now long tongue, stabbing at Majeh once again.
* Majeh moves out of the way and grabs onto Nightmare's tongue, before yanking it back toward him.
* Nightmare lets his tongue get ripped off, the thing then binding around Majeh's arm and releasing several small spikes from it, stabbing into his hand and forearm. Nightmare then rose his arm to attack again, only to have his attack halted by Neoforte grabbing his arm from behind.
* Suprema crawled away and brushed himself off, "Bastard..."
* Nightmare growled and turned his attention to Neoforte, his hair moving on it's own and stabbing at Neoforte.
* Neoforte quickly let go of Nightmare's arm and jumped back, to avoid the attack, then fired several small shots at Nightmare's back, causing him to growl in pain.
* Majeh growls at Nightmare, grabbing onto the tongue and yanking it from his arm, letting blood squirt out of the many holes in his arm. He charges once more, throwing his fist at Nightmare's face, lighting it ablaze with white fire.
* Nightmare raises his arm to block the attack, sending him recoiling back, and setting his arm ablaze. He then ripped his flaming arm off and threw it at Majeh, as a new one began to grow back.
<Suprema> "I guess it's true then..." He slashed his blade diagonally through the air releasing a crescent blade of green chi toward Nightmare's side.
* Majeh swats Nightmare's arm aside and charged once more, throwing a flurry of punches at Nightmare, each one covered in white fire.
* Nightmare is struck by Suprema's attack, grunting again, and stumbling back, then is sent recoiling back again as Majeh struck him several times, burning him with each punch.
* Silver then closes her eyes tight for a moment, and upon opening them, slowly rose in to the air..
<Rion> W-woah.... Silver, what are you doing...? *he says, a bit confused as Silver began taking to the air*
* Silver turns toward a myriad of trees, then looks at Rion.
* Tank raises his arm and considers blasting her wings with charged energy but doesn't fire.
<Rion> ....You understand me, don't you....
* Rion then looks at Tank "No, this is good...."
<Rion> I think she's trying to keep herself from focusing on Nightmare again by getting away from here.....
<Rion> And right now, that's exactly what needs to happen.... if they stop focusing on each other, there may be hope yet.
* Silver nods slowly at Rion, her eyes flashing, which made her cringe. She started to fly in to the trees, slowly at first, as if she was waiting for something..
* Rion then holds on as Silver flies into the trees. "Don't worry.... I'm sure they can wear Nightmare down from there.... You got him pretty tired from what I saw..."
* Tank grits his teeth thinking Rion can handle himself at this point.
* Rion wasn't sure why Silver was flying slowly, but he continued using the Light Amulet with his own Chi, since it was helping more than without, and took a lot less energy as well.
* Silver then blasts off through the trees suddenly, and soon crash lands quite a ways off.
<Rion> WOAH!
* Rion holds on tightly as Silver crashes into the ground. "...Are you all right?"
* Silver breaths heavily, her eyes slowly starting to stop their glow.
* Rion sighs in relief. "Okay.... I think I can focus on something else for now... sound good?" He asked, as the aura died down, only for him to form an orb of White Chi using both hands, this time using a larger version of the Threads of Life spell thanks to the Light Amulet.
* Silver slowly changes back in to her normal human form, as her wounds start to heal as well.
* Rion smiles a bit, seeing that the wounds were healing up pretty well as Silver began transforming. "Whew....." He finally said as the remainder of the orb was pulled into the remaining wounds as more healed.
* Nightmare jumps back a little and falls to a kneel, the black smoke rising from his back not as thick as it was earlier. He then clenched his hand over his right eye as the wounds on him began to heal "Damnit... Not yet... I haven't killed them yet..."
<Nightmare> Let me go to the next stage you bastard!
<Nightmare> You don't get to call the shots anymore! It's my turn now!
* Majeh growls, summoning his blades once more. He walks toward Nightmare slowly.
* Suprema walks forward, creating the cannon on his arm and firing a green chi orb at Nightmare.
* Nightmare clenched his head as if he were in excruciating pain, then is struck by Suprema's attack, knocking him onto his back.
* Nightmare clawed at his head, his eyes closed tightly "Not yet... I need more power... I've grown weak because of you..."
* Tank watches, waiting for either things to die down or worsen.
* Suprema holds his cannon arm toward Nightmare, while keeping a good distance away.
* Nightmare was on the ground, struggling slightly. By now, then gem around his neck had dimmed significantly, to almost a grey color, his voice sounding weak and strained "Curse you... You don't deserve... This power..." before he eventually fell silent, his arms falling limp to his sides.
* Neoforte walks up and places his hand on Suprema's arm, turning the cannon away from Nightmare slowly.
* Suprema sighs, and turns to Neoforte as his cannon vanishes, "He's regained control now... hasn't he?"
* Neoforte nods slowly.
* Nightmare lay still on the ground, no black smoke or anything. Just remaining motionless.
* Majeh stops walking, his blades fading away. He slowly falls to a kneel and holds his arm, blood pouring from it.
* Suprema smiles slightly, then turns to Majeh, and walks over to him, using a small powered healing spell on him to hold until they return to west.
* Neoforte walks over and picks Nightmare up, and begins carrying him back to the ship "Everyone, get on board... We'll take the Sypher and go look for Rion and Silver, and hope they're okay."
* Majeh is quiet but grits his teeth. Slowly standing up and walking back to the ship.
<Rion> That... was too close...
* Silver looks up at Rion, her breathing still heavy. She put a hand on her head, "..That was..ugh.."
<Rion> Tell me about it.... you guys nearly tore each other to shreds....
* Silver sits herself up, "..The worst part..it was like I was spectating..and I couldn't do anything about it.."
<Rion> .....I think... Nightmare was the same way.
<Rion> He wasn't himself at all... it was like when we fought that dragon, but worse....
* Silver nods slowly, "..Yeah.."
<Rion> Well... as hard as it is.... at least there's a bright side to this... you're not alone. It's obvious now that Nightmare knows what you're going through, even if it's because he's going through something similar.
<Silver> ..Very obvious, indeed..*She sat up slowly, cringing as she did so.* Ow..
