*Jihon looks up at Alex as his Glowing body is being absorbed by the black light surrounding him. He smirks and only the outline of his whit lips can be seen.*

"Now I know..... Now... I know....."

*Jihon stumbles to his feet and His smirk turns into a painfull frown as he stumbles out of the shop.*

"Heh.... What have you done with the ol' boy?"

*JIhon glows brighter and brighter untill all of the darkness is cast off of him and red blood begins to pour from the wound on his chest. He looks at the wound that quickly heals and then back to Alex. JIhon kneels and punches the ground Causing sprks to fly. His fist melts into the ground giving off a smell of burning tar.*

"Alex look behind you!"

*As alex turns his head as Jihon Disapears and then comes shooting. from th ground. He puts Alex ina full nelson causing his skin to scortch.*

"These high temperatures would kill any mortal man... You are one bad ass mo fo. "

*Jihon takes to flight still holding the struugling alex. he flies up into the air about 100 feet and the free falls to the ground slamming alex into the pavement. Jihon stands on the edge of the crater and waits for alex to come crawling out.....*

Des watches the snake fly into a building from Jihon’s blow, then spins around to see Jharm healed and alive once more. She is just about to call to both of them, when Alex appears. Her lips pull back from her sharp teeth and she rasps out a curse in her tongue.

“Kawanua!” she speaks breathlessly into the controller as she hears Jharm’s mind message. “Jihon and I are going to need your help.”

She watches Jharm go and then turns around to look for Kawanua. Her reptilian eyes widen and she runs to him, turning her head to look over her shoulder at Jihon fighting Alex. As she reaches her fallen comrade, she kneels and rolls him over.

“Strange bird, this is no time to rest,” she shakes him lightly and then sighs, realizing he needs healing.

She reaches into one of the pouches of her belt.

“Here. It was meant for the most dire circumstances…I suppose this is one of them,” she takes a sealed vial of clear azure liquid from the pouch and pulls the cap off with her teeth.

The fingers of one hand pull his jaw down, long nails pressing gently into his skin. Her other hand turns the vial upside down and empties the liquid into his throat. Closing his jaw, she holds his mouth closed despite the sputtering that the horrid tasting potion causes.

“Swallow it,” she throws the vial aside and pulls one of his eyelids open, examining his pupil. “It takes but a moment. Your throat should be burning about now, your stomach should feel as if it is melting away. And water shall pour from your eyes just about…now.”

She smirks and lets go of him, sitting back on her heels.

“Keep yourself shielded for a bit until you are recovered, we’ll take care of…”

Des!!!!

Her eyes roll back at the intensity of Jihon’s voice. She puts her hands to the sides of her head and listens.

“I must go!” she yells a little louder than she needs to. “Stay back until it looks hopeless for me, Kawanua!”

She jumps up and her bow is in her hands, an arrow already strung.

“Elfing!!!” she cries into the blowing smoke, half crouched as she moves forward in a cautious manner. “Show your vile self! It is time to die in the service of your master!”

Her slit pupils get smaller as she tries to see through the smoke. She reaches up and flicks her visor down over her eyes, the heat sensor blinking on with red flashing all around from the quiet fires that lie everywhere around the battleground.

“He has betrayed me, elfling,” she growls, lip pulling up in a snarl for a moment. “Uncle Xavier had no idea what cause he was helping and I was forced to stay quiet, because your weak leader needed my skills and my ability to make friends with this group of warriors. He said my uncle was safe as long as I stayed true to my mission.”

She swings the bow around at a sudden cracking noise, then moves on.

“I no longer have contact with the old man, which is not like him at all,” she hisses. “I presume he is dead or confined, hmm?”

Her visor suddenly finds something, the screen bringing up a reading of the strangely shaped object lying on the ground. She moves towards it.

“Well, that is fine, because I now am free of worry. You and your master’s heads will rest on pikes outside the gates of Cenzar soon,” she reaches down and clicks the safety off on both of her guns. “Get up and fight! No games this time!”

She looks down at the body lying on the floor and her jaw drops.

“Jihon!” she flips the visor up and kneels, her hand going to the side of his face, fingertips brushing down his jaw.

Her lips press together and she holds her breath as she tries to sense how badly he is hurt. She feels that he is not gone, but he is not well.

“Bastard! Show yourself!” she suddenly yells and stands, bow pointed in front of her as she turns in a slow circle.
