Nanaya Shiki
Knives were hurtling through the air toward him.
"Heh."
He dodged most of them, and caught two.
"Looks like this time it's my win." He flicked a knife, and cut the electric arc that bolted toward him, removing it from existence.
"Prepare yourself, Akiha. Kokushi... NANAYA." In a flash, he threw one of the knives forward, and within 5 miliseconds was in the air, his hands preparing to grapple her neck.

The situation didn't look very bright. Not that it would be anytime soon.
Tsubasa aimed a wave of concentrate air at Shiki and let loose, then materialized a Valkyrie in front of Akiha.

Upon seeing Nanaya catch the knives, he set a ward on Akiha against them.
I hope it works.

Constantine was appalled.
"This guy... He cuts everything..."
"DON'T GIVE HIM ANY MORE SHARP OBJECTS!"
He jumped over to Akiha, glaive whirring and crackling. Projectiles couldn't be much of a problem for his lightning.

The knife stuck in the Valkyrie.
Nanaya was clearly open.
"CHANCE."
Akiha reached up, and grabbed Nanaya.
"Crimson Lord: Infernal Fire."
Heat surged out of the surroundings, and plunged into Akiha's hand, which surged with heat and energy.

Things have taken an unexpected turn for the better. I don't know if that's enough to defeat him, but I can at least try to hedge our bets.
Keeping his eye - and his mind - trained on Nanaya, Venser crept behind him, dagger in his hand.
If I can keep track of his thought patterns, I'll be able to predict what he's going to do next. Even if her attack doesn't kill him, he'll be too distracted to detect me. Hopefully, this'll end quickly.

'Bah..so that won't work huh? Guess I have to melee him then..'
Sol charged in at Nanaya.
'It's probably futile but...it's better than nothing..'

If the tables have turned and Akiha's holding onto him, then all the better that while he's held there still, I keep him there longer!
"Sagitta Magica Aer Capture... Evocatio valcyriarum!"
3 Valkryies appeared and stuck their lances into Shiki.

Sol jumped, ready to impale Nanaya with his claws and sword.
'It's payback time..let's see you try and dodge this..
Whilst in the air, Sol created 6 knives and aimed it at him.
'You won't be able to catch them this time..heh'

Nanaya, suspended in the air by Akiha, did nothing.
"Heh. I'm sorry, Akiha. I killed half of your attack to begin with."
Akiha's eyes widened in shock.
In an instant, Nanaya was ten feet away.
"Chokushi no Magan: Seventeen Dissection."
The Valkyries, despite being made of air, broke into seventeen pieces. Nanaya had cut them at their very essence of being.
Constantine's glaive launcher fell apart into seventeen pieces.
Six knives. Nanaya caught them all.
"What a ridiculous effort."
He tossed them all at once. Each aimed at the 'point' of the person whereby his or her existence would be instantly erased.
Chokushi no Magan. The Eyes of Death Perception. An attack that would cut to the very end of the existence of anything and everything.
The eyes that even Death itself feared.
"Melee. Heh. To think anyone would even entertain the idea. To melee against the strongest of pure melee fighters."

Oh dear. They're about to get impaled.

'Crap...this is SOOO not my day'
Sol immediately created rocks directly infront of the incoming knives, stopping them. He landed and jump away from Nanaya.
'Dammit..this is getting worse..there must be a way..somehow..

He's too strong.
Kamin was at a loss to what to do. Nanaya could not be blinded, he could not be shot at, nor engaged in melee battle. His eyes were too strong.
But maybe he could be surrounded.
"Sagitta Magica Rodgnue Erupta!"
Ten arrows of light shot out of the ground around Nanaya, and pelted him from all sides.

The battles raged around her. No one noticed the battle within her.
The Etherlite.
To consume, or to be consumed...
She forced herself up. But her arms were not there anymore. Her physical form disappeared. The seal at her chest grew warm, and then separated from her, floating several inches before her.
I see now... You wanted me to be consumed by the power so you could have it for yourselves...[/b]
The spirits were silent. The Undine had proven more sturdy than they had expected. She was free.
Sierra looked at her form, no longer physical. It was how she had always been back at sea--a soul in water. She tested the limits of her power. It extended as far as Densha station. She smiled, pleased, as water from all over the city rose to meet her, and spiraled around her.
Without a thought, the water formed into droplets and pelted themselves at Shiki. Below him, ice was already creeping up to trap him.
Just need to get him wet.[/b]

Many things had occurred in a matter of seconds. Venser wasn't paying attention to any of them. He was intently focused on the only thing that mattered at the moment.
Pretend like you understand what's important.
He was going to kill the Valkyries
Listen to a mind in motion, and let your consciousness flow with it.
then deflect the knives - move! -
Like dancing to an unheard melody.
cut up the incoming bricks
Keep it moving. Dance, so it all stays in the air.
dodge the arrows - that means me, too
No worries. We all float down here.
and AIM FOR THE HEART! Intercept him!
As Nanaya dove towards Akiha, Venser leapt to grab hold of him, stab him, hit him with a piece of furniture - anything to slow him down, even by a bit.

Constantine screamed in fury.
"HE WRECKED MY WEAPON! AGAIN!"
The launcher was in seventeen pieces. Great. He gathered them up and stuffed them into his tool bag. There was no time to fix them now. He was out of weapons, and out of ideas.

Nanaya Shiki
Shit.
For the first time, Nanaya was actually in a situation.
But there was a way out.
In an instant, Nanaya was on the ceiling, and running along the wall, his knife aimed for the source of the water, the point that, if struck, would erase its entire existence...

"Iaculatio Aeriales..."
Muttering to herself was a somewhat good habit at times. What shiki couldn't see would hurt. Alot.
"Flans Exarmtio!"
A disarmed shiki is probably a dead one.
Tsubasa directed the invisible lances forward as she flew backwards.

Nanaya Shiki
His knife was gone.
"Well, that's a bother."
But so is this!
With one deft sweep, he stuck two of his fingers into the wall.
It crumbled. Even as the wall cracked along the seams, the whole house shook to its very foundations, weakened by the loss of one of its supporting joints.
The lances just missed, doing minor damage, avoided by Nanaya's superior instinct and killing ability.

Constantine was annoyed. Everything he did seemed to be completely useless.
"When this is over, I'll build myself a better weapon."
Right now, though, he needed something. The flashbang was out. The lightning would have worked against someone else, but not this guy. He really needed something.
The crash shook him out of his thoughts. His glasses displayed the trajectory of the falling rubble, and he just managed to dodge away. Constantine suddenly thought of something. Sol's knives were lying around. Some random papers were lying around. There were some chopsticks. And there was a weird rubber-like cord, most likely some form of elastic. Working quickly, Constantine assembled a small paper crossbow from the materials. He would have to time his one and only shot carefully. He didn't want his crossbow to be destroyed. He retreated to cover and waited.

There was but one option left in this fight; keep this new Shiki busy until this demon like possession got tired of him and left, if ever.
If she could see the future and fight at the same time while acting accordingly, there was no way she could get hit.
If she could act according, that is...
Judging from his previous attacks, this guy was skilled in precise attacks; his power wasn't in strength, but in precision, knowing exactly when and where to hit. It was his eyes. But like Kyouko, whether or not those things stuck around long enough for him to hit was a different thing altogether.
She would have to bet it all on her ability to react with enough dexterity.
She rushed in to engage in what she hoped wasn't suicidal, melee, combat.

The situation was going from bad to worse.
If I'm not wrong, he's going to be aiming for the girl controlling the water. I have to get her out of harm's way, or at least as far away from it as possible.
Dashing towards Sierra, Venser pulled two chairs together in front of her, then upended a table on them, creating a makeshift shield of sorts. It wouldn't hold for long, but he had to warn her to
"Run for your life!"

Her seal's image fizzed. Time was running out a lot quicker than expected. If only she were at sea... but she wasn't. As it was, she was like a fish out of water--barely holding on. The newcomer suddenly appeared before her, urging her to run.
But she didn't want to. Even if she could, there were still people here that needed help.
Besides... I can't run for long before the seal... [/b]
Sierra saw Kyouko moving in for the kill. No doubt her clairvoyance would her her... if she were fast enough to act, that is. She noted where puddles of water were on the ground. There was one close to where the two were about to engage.
Right before the two clashed, one of the puddles disappeared. Mist clung heavily to Shiki, dragging him down, slowing his movements. With another grunt of effort, she brought over water from a separate area with the intention of freezing him down.
((OoC: The second attack probably won't work fast enough though -_-))
The seal suddenly flew back on to her chest, instead of floating before her. The impact pushed her outside her water cocoon and she hit the ground hard. Her body had returned. The attack would still be effective.. but she wouldn't be able to continue for a while.
Before blacking out, she drew a circle of mist around her, to shield her form away from the others' eyes.
((OoC: No clothing ftl))
