Constantine saw the attack coming, and tried to dodge.
A glancing blow hit him even with his increased reflexes, but it was enough to send him flying into the wall.
He felt pain. Everywhere. He tried to breathe, and found that it hurt. Then, the spirits were back. One in particular stood out.
A small girl, around 10 years old. She looked like him. And she was smiling innocently.
"Valentine... This isn't the time... I don't want to play with you... ..."
"But I wanna play! PLAY WITH ME!
The blood drained out of Constantine's body. It floated in the air, and he was somehow still conscious.
"Don't you wanna play, Shirou?"
The blood formed itself into the shape of a teddy bear, with stitches crisscrossing its body. From the bear's back grew wings. All of it was blood-red.
It's eyes shone with a sinister, red glint.
"Playtime!"
Valentine grinned, and its mouth split open at the seams.
"Shall we play? Dance, dance, DANCE!"
The rubble of the dojo whirled in the air and flew at Shirou. Valentine followed close after, its claws extended to rip his throat out.

Daisuke heard an ongoing carnage occurring within the Dojo.
Considering our status... We won't survive what goes on inside.
"It's dangerous," Daisuke said to his companion. "We leave."
He motioned for his companion to follow, and began backtracking to the streets of New Orlania.

Emiya Shirou[/u]
The blood doll was a nasty trick, and generally really creepy, but unfortunately, it was too late for Constantine to try to make a difference to the outcome of the battle. Shirou smashed the rubble that flew at him with the stone club that he held in hands as he finished his chant.
"My whole life has been..."
The last three words of the spell were muted out by the sheer volume of the noise that Shirou made when he slammed his weapon into the ground, and there was a flash of red, a brief view into a red world, and then, darkness.

Ouch.
Tsubasa glanced around the dojo.
Oh.

'Pain....'
That was the only thing that Sol thought of before waking up.
'Ugh..goddammit..I felt like I got thrown into the fires of hell'
Sol suddenly start coughing up blood.
'Gah...what the hell.....ugh..my body..feels strange..
Sol loses conscious again, he transformed into his beast form and start rampaging in the dojo.
(OoC: More work for ski >_>)

Already?
If God forbid, Tsubasa would still be unconscious right now. Instead, Sol had apparently gone berserk for no reason.
There we go again.
"Locos Umbrae Regnans Scáthach,"
Tsubasa molded lances around Sol; the lances all taking the form of striking lightning.
In Manum Meum Dedo Iaculum Daemonium Cum Spinis Triginta! Iaculatio Fulgoris!"
The thirty lightning lances appeared everywhere and closed in on Sol at the speed lightning could go.

"NO! I STILL WANNA PLAY..."
Valentine's blood form collapsed. The blood flowed back into Constantine's body.
"He's a weak point. I didn't expect that! NO FAIR!", whined Valentine's spirit.
He's the best we've got, someone willing to host us. He needs to be better protected.
"Never mind. I can still play next time. Maybe I'll shield him first. HEY BRO! WAKE UP!"
"Wha... What? Ouch... Hey, guys?"
Yeah?
"Is Val really here?"
Yeah.
"Thanks."
Then, he saw Sol rampaging around. Tsubasa was doing something, but it looked pretty dangerous.
"Let's watch."
Constantine sat up and watched the fight.

((OoC: Aren't y'all supposed to be unconscious or somethin'?))
Sierra felt free. She hadn't felt this way since she had been an Undine, floating without a care, bound to nothing. She reveled in this emotion. It was pure bliss.
But there was something wrong. Something tickled at the edge of her mind.
A memory.
She wasn't supposed to be in this state--It was wrong. Sierra looked around frantically, barely taking in her surroundings, looking for something that was not there.
Where am I? Where is my body?[/b]
She was in a spirit form, but she felt no physical lure to anything. Before, when her body had forcefully ejected her, she could sense where it was. This time, nothing. She could barely move.
I am blue .. ! .. ?! Is this my seal? Why am I my seal?[/b] Sierra began to panic slightly.
Then a realization.
I have no magic left.[/b]
She had never fully exhausted herself before, so this was her first experience. If she rested, her magic would probably return and she could create "Sierra" again.
The Undine floated within her seal, finally calm (somewhat), and took a proper look at her surroundings. There seemed to be a small scuffle taking place. She wondered vaguely how they still had enough energy to fight after being knocked around by Shirou. Unfortunately, she could not do anything--not even speak.
I hope I can recover enough to at least move, or else I'll be stuck here..[/b]
((OoC: Forgot to mention that other people can move her around if they have mana. It doesn't need to be consumed--just used as a buffer, since physical contact does not affect the seal.))

"Gwaah." Kamin sat up, and shook her head slightly. She took a look around.
There was zero evidence of any battles having occurred. This dojo was indeed a really special place.
Oh, hey, watch that-
A lance of lightning passed dangerously close to where Kamin had just been sitting. If she hadn't moved about half a second ago she'd currently be out on the floor again.
"Ah, Sol went berserk... Well, Tsubasa's having fun, it seems." Kamin didn't want to fight anymore today - it brought up unpleasant memories when too much of it was done at once.
Hm... Constantine's fine... Eh? Where's Sierra?
Suddenly, the seal floating in the corner caught her eye.
"Ahh..."
Kamin inched slowly over to where the seal was floating slightly. Her joints still smarted slightly but hey, at least she wasn't currently spread across twenty square feet of ground.
"Hey Sierra, can you hear me? Is it possible to speak in that condition?"
Maybe a heal would work...
Kamin started to hum a tune softly, dancing her hand slowly over the seal as little beams of light shot from her palm into the seal.
[Mana heal. 1 for 1 mana heal. As much as is required.]

((OoC: I dunno how much is required, but I guess it would recover anyway, so I won't go into numbers--cant do math~))
Kamin had come to her aid. Sierra felt holy force flowing through her, stimulating her own pool of magic. Though they originated from different realms, the Celestial magic was still able to push her own Earthly magic along, and fortify it.
I can feel my magic.. [/b]
But she still could not recreate her body yet. She'd have to go to a more private place for that.
"Thank you, Kamin.." Her voice surprised her. It came out sounding soft, with a godly echo in the background. Like how she sounded when she was an Undine. It was a voice that citizens of Orlania sometimes heard when they were lost at sea, clinging to their ships for dear life. Sierra didn't think she would ever voice that sound, especially after forsaking her Undine self.
You are closer to us now... The spirits whispered.
"I will return soon," Sierra continued, "But not here." If her seal could blush, it would have.

In an instant, Sol disappeared from where he was before, and appears 1m away from Tsubasa. Claws ready to maul her into pieces when he suddenly stop moving, frozen like a statue for a whole minute. His beast form started to 'crumble', pieces of armor that doesn't belong in the human form started falling off.
In less than a minute after that, those pieces that are still on the armour and those that had fallen off started to glow. They immediately exploded in a million smaller pieces and vaporize into the air, leaving an unconscious Sol lying on the floor.
(OoC: Ski says I can do this >_>)

Sol just self destructed?
In the one minute that took him to shed all his armour, 30 lightning lances had already pierced him and Tsubasa had backed off.

"Well, it's over. Time to leave."
Constantine limped out of the dojo, heading for the teahouse where he could rest.

Sol woke up, again.
'..Geh..why am I on the floor again? Maybe I'm just dreaming that I woke up. Oh well, I'm hungry, time to go visit Hayate and steal more food from him'
Sol quickly exited the dojo and dash towards the teahouse.
'If I can get away with it once..doesn't mean I won't get away with it twice'

So everyone's leaving.
But there was delicious wafting scent of something colourful. Tsubasa liked velvet red, though the typical scarlet; crimson would do.
Of course, anything is fine by me.

Sierra, still rather helpless in her form, pouted (spiritually) and attached herself to one of the people who were leaving. She could not move on her own with much speed, so she manipulated her magic to cling to someone else's.
I need to change back soon..[/b] She realized. Her power was returning, so she could make the blue crest less apparent as it tailed one of the dojo participants, but still suspicious.

" Wait... I've seen her before! OH CRAP. YUYUKO." "Who's she?" " The ghost princess of the underworld. THE darkness itself. HOW COULD I NOT REALISE!?" Constantine was worried. His sister was scared. For a Dark Master, that was REALLY bad. " Reverse Portal. I'm getting out of here." "Huh?" The red goggles disintegrated. Constantine was flying blind for a moment, then his vision returned. Energy surged into him, and his mind suddenly sharpened, as if coming out of a fog. Then, a small clamour of voices could be heard. " We're free! At last! That girl silenced us." "Wait... Why can I see again?" " She stole your energy and your sight. She said she serves someone higher up. Someone she refers to as "Patron Eve". When she left this world, she had to leave the power she was gathering for Eve behind." "She was working for a Patron? Hm. Thought they didn't exist. Figures that a little girl, even a natural kinetic, wouldn't have access to Crowley and Faust. I trusted her too much. A Patron..." "Hey, Yuyuko. She's not here anymore. So there's no reason to chase me." [OoC: Check www.words-of-the-damned.blogspot.com for more of my writings to explain this. Patrons are gods in my world's "universe". Eve is the Patron of the Undead.]

So I arrived just to see the commotion somewhat recede? Disappointing.
But Tsubasa just loitered around, just in case.

Constantine took off his armour. The voices were immediately silenced. Reaching into his toolkit, he drew out a small, clear, blue 1cm by 1cm chip. He placed it in a slot on his armour.
The armour glowed, and shuddered violently. Rainbow lights attempted to escape, but they were stuck to the overcoat. They compressed themselves into the chip, and they soon faded.
Constantine put the armour on again.
"Sorry, guys. I just can't trust spirits any more. Have a nice afterlife."
"Artificial Intelligence initiation sequence complete. Request name."
"AI... I can't think of anything. Oh well. Change name to Ai."
"Ai online."
Constantine had originally planned an AI for his first suit, but he couldn't find enough psionic energy to start it up. This way, he killed two birds with one stone. The spirits couldn't be trusted, after his own sister had betrayed him. And he actually managed to make his AI chip work.
It was made from Twilight, a crystal found on his homeworld, which absorbed and enhanced any form of energy with the correct wiring. It could also store large amounts of data, about ten times as much as a human brain. He had managed to make one which functioned exactly like a brain, but he had no way to start it. The very spark of life which kept the spirits lingering was now used to activate the chip. Ingenious. Why hadn't he thought of this before?
An AI would never betray him. Ever. He grinned lopsidedly, knowing that he had finally secured an ally who could actually be trusted.

If everything's fine, I suppose.

"Hello? May i train here?"

"Welcome to the Tiger Dooojooo~! I'm the number one disciple Ilya!"
The loli in bloomers popped out from behind Jasper while introducing herself in an extremely loud voice.
"Unfortunately sensei isn't in at the moment, but what type of training would you like today?"

Jasper gasped in shock at her sudden appearance.
"I've never really encountered magic before!" he thought...
Saying to Ilya, "Hi! Uh, my name is Jasper. Could you train me in my telekinetic skills? I'm a 'newbie' so to speak."

Ilya[/u]
"Telekinesis, huh... Give me a moment..."
Ilya trotted out of the dojo hall, closing the door behind her.
"Okay, start!"
Bamboo swords started flying at Jasper from the sword racks, intent on beating him into the ground.

Jasper ducked the first 3 swords easily, and deflected the 7 others that came towards him. Running in the direction where the number of swords seemed the least, Jasper had only a little trouble deflecting those that would defintely hit him.
"Wow, if i keep this up i'm going to be hit soon."
