So let's make the most of our seemingly futile efforts again...
Gathering lances around Shiki, Tsubasa attempted to use 2 to pin his arms down and one to impale his chest.
Lets hope Sierra can immobilize him further and for Kyouko to land a hit or two...

Nanaya Shiki
"Geh."
The mist was weighing down his movements. And how do you kill something that's not even in one piece?
But he still could move faster than the attack could. With one deft movement, he pierced the point in the water.
It disappeared. Jumping in the air, Nanaya swerved his body around, disabling the lances that had appeared.
Even if it's air, the lines still appear on magic.
While falling, he spun around, and directed his fingers straight for the point on Kyouko's head.
This happened in 0.5 seconds. He was slowing down.
Tohno Akiha
Shiki was weighed down. It was a chance for her to disable him completely.
"Flame Pit."
A ring of magic surrounded Nanaya, sucking the heat out of him, setting him on fire.

Constantine could wait no longer. He fired an arrow at Shiki, going for the jugular.

A finger? Who did he think he was, underestimating her like that.
The answer to his insult became obvious.
I'll break that finger.
She readied herself to detatch that finger from its owner.

Time to get Sierra out.
Sweeping Sierra off her feet and flying out of the mansion, Tsubasa dove into a closet on the way out. Placing Sierra on the garden floor with a maid uniform she had randomly swept up, Tsubasa returned to the battlefield.
I wonder what I got Sierra to wear...

Constantine thought that now would be a good moment to back out. He wouldn't take the door. Shiki might see him. Instead, he crept out through the large hole in the wall. Sierra had been flown out the window, so he assumed that was where Shiki would go.
He needed some time to reassemble his glaive launcher.

((OoC: Oh, Shira, Shira, you're so lucky I'm not close enough to hurt you. I, however, don't quite know what it's supposed to look like, so spare me.))
Consciousness stirred in the recesses of Sierra's mind. She was lying outside. The noises of battle were only slightly muffled, but she was still close enough to be in danger. She tried moving. Her body trembled with effort. She realized that only a cloth separated her bare body from the rest of the world.
What is...[/b]
Clothes. Her transformation had caused her clothing to flutter on the ground at the battle scene. Her cheeks inadvertently flushed bright red and she sat up, clutching the fabric close to her chest. Sierra didn't quite understand why she was embarrassed. Most spirits had never even heard of clothing. Perhaps it was a human disadvantage.
Small droplets of water swiveled in the air and helped Sierra into the strange garment. It was very frilly. Hard to move in, but infinitely better than nothing. Feeling the wind between her legs bothered her though.
Sierra was close to an open window, so she reached the windowsill with the help of her water, gripping it tightly. The battle still raged, though from the corner of her eye, she could see one teenage boy climbing out of a hole in the wall. Thankfully she had dressed in time.
I can still... fight...[/b] She thought, mustering water around her. But her ability was spent--for the moment at least.
No... If I can't use water, then I can... That song...[/b]
The thought of resorting to that terrible melody was frightening. It was different from apprehending Shiki with water and mist--he didn't get hurt from them. The song was unavoidable... detaining with a mysterious power. At the moment, it was weak, but if the song gained power...

'Heh..this looks like a good time to test my new ability..'
Sol transforms into his demon form. He then proceed to create 5 swords, 1 in each hand and 3 controlled and levitated behind him with telekinesis.
'This better work..'

Taking shiki's speed into consideration, he would be out of the flame pit now, ready to either stab Akiha or us.
"Iaculatio Aeriales..."
Tsubasa held on to a newly formed air lance, while placing three beside akiha and directing two into the flame pit.

Akiha Tohno
Now was as good a time as ever. With so many attacks surrounding him, Nanaya was busy.
"Crimson Overlord: Hell of Blazing Fire."
A wave of infrared heat surged out of the area, and concentrated itself in concentric globes around Nanaya.
------------- HP: 800 MP: 450
Nanaya Shiki
An arrow. Nanaya caught it as he was falling, and plunged it into the little girl's outstretched hand.
Akiha had used her ultimate attack. even if he could get it, there were still the air lances, but those were minor distractions.
Akiha's attacks were dangerous.
There was no other choice.
"Chokushi no Magan: Seven Nights' Phantasmic Killer."

He's casting something. Something dangerous, from the sound of it. I have to counter it before it gets out of hand.
Tracing a sigil in the air with his fingers, Venser recited a short incantation, then clenched his fist, disrupting the magical energies of Nanaya's spell.
Let's hope that does it.

If he's still in there, then...
"Iaculatio Aeriales..."
More lances came to Tsubasa and as she hurled the one in her grip towards Shiki; the three beside Akiha and the six behind her followed.
The more attacks the better I guess. And I infused Sagitta Magica Aer Capture into the lance I threw, so if he comes in contact with it...
Tsubasa found the strength to smirk somehow.

Sol jump and dived in at Nanaya, impaling him with all 5 swords. Once impaled, Sol create 6 knives to impale him further, he then jumps away, not before slashing Nanaya with the 2 swords in his hands.
'Is that..enough?'

Constantine looked around in awe. His glasses showed many, many bright energy signatures around him. He was just thinking of how to harness this energy in the future when the glowing energy hit him. His armour sparked, and he heard many voices whispering in his head.
We will give you power. Power unheard of elsewhere.
"I'm listening," he said to nobody in particular.
All around him, metal flew to his side. His broken glaive launcher affixed itself to his right hand. The scraps of metal, discarded cans, utensils and other things, flowed towards him. At the same time, he could feel his armour dissolving and reforming.

Nanaya Shiki
Unfortunately, disrupting natural phenomena is impossible.
Nanaya had merely further unlocked his abilities with his own mana.
Bloodlust seeped in his eyes.
The sound of cracking. Nanaya fought his way out of Akiha's attack, slicing it along its lines, cutting the attack into hundreds of pieces.
The lances of air were not spared, either. They fell apart in the air, dozens of pockets of air dissipating into the atmosphere around them.
To him, the demon might as well have been moving in honey. With one deft swipe, he pulled one of the swords out of the air, breaking the telekinetic hold that the demon had on it. He plunged it into the demon, sliced him hundreds of times.
[Sol -3200 HP, unfortunately. KO.]
"Who's up for more?" Nanaya smiled widely.

Constantine saw Sol disintegrate before his eyes.
"This is SO not good."
The metal had finally finished pulling together around his body. He examined his new form, and smiled. The cannon on his arm sparked, and his huge glaive hummed.
Still, he was worried. If the half-demon could be killed so easily, what would this guy do to him?
He didn't want to find out.

Kyouko blocked the arrow aimed for her hand easily.
But it was clear that this adroit bastard had plenty of power left in him, and it was clear that if even Hayate, the 95th Knight was out of their reach, they might as well give in right now to the 19th.
She couldn't block forever, and it was clear that she wasn't going to damage him the way her speed was.
So there was but one choice.
The woman with the 6 black shortswords, wearing that cross, standing in front of a Church. Protestant, though frankly that didn't matter now. The angel girl looked Catholic though...
Religion could be settled later.
Kyouko scooped up the fainted demon and gathered all her strength in her left heel.
"Follow me!!"
Up and away from this montronsity was better than sticking around in a fight she couldn't win.
She noticed that she had unconsciously accepted the fact that there were some battles, unlike before, that she couldn't win.

Nothing works on him, does it? Nothing from us, anyway. The only person able to do anything to him is Akiha, and even then he manages to cut his way out of it. That doesn't sound like a good matchup to me. I have to look for a way to end this.
Has anyone ever defeated him before? I expect someone must have, seeing as how his other personality was dominant previously. Who, though? I'll have to pick his mind to find out.

Not good; everyone's berserking too soon at this rate and wasting it. We need more foresight.
Running away wasn't a very ideal option against someone who could do it much better either. Yet it was the only one option while Akiha stalled him. Decidedly, the person with the most foresight was to be followed. Tsubasa grabbed Sierra on the way.

The Predator followed closely behind the loli. He would have to protect her. She could be useful to him later. He blind-fired his shock cannon while running, sweeping in a wide arc. The lightning split into many thin, high-voltage threads, uncountable thousands of them. It was no longer a single entity, but thousands, each following their own arc along the ground towards Nanaya.
He flew backwards rapidly, able to see 360 degrees around him. Hopefully, Nanaya wouldn't catch up.

Kamin saw that the others had began to run.
"Sorry, Akiha. You'll have to hold him for us."
She turned, and in a flash of brilliant light she was out of the window, floating on angel wings.

Nanaya was on a roll.
In an instant he was out of the mansion, dashing along the ground, pulling out all the stops as his sword flashed, cutting the thousands of lightning arcs headed toward him with insane speed. His hands were moving so fast, he was rending the air in front of him, sharp cracks of thunder emanating all around him.
A sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. He would catch up in less than a second-
"Oh no you don't."
Akiha had him in a flame trap.
"Imprisoning Cage."
Nanaya cut the attack. But Akiha created another one.
"I will hold you even if I run out of energy. I will grab you by the scruff and I will hold you, even if you kill me. I will not let you touch them."
Sion had long disappeared, bringing Hisui and Kohaku with her. How long ago, Akiha didn't know. But she was glad Sion took her advice.
"I wish the others had done that from the start."

Looks like they're on the move. I'd better keep up with them.
Sprinting after the others, Venser noticed that Nanaya had been trapped by flames. He didn't know how long that would hold, but he had to take advantage of every second he had. At this rate, he'd be catching up with the others in about 5 seconds.
((OoC: I was supposed to have read his mind about anyone who defeated him before.))

OoC || REGROUP HERE
They were assembled there - Sion, Shiki, Ciel, Akiha, Hisui and Kohaku. Except this time, Sion, Ciel and Akiha were staring at Shiki like he did something wrong.
"Eh, guys, seriously, what'd I do?" Their stares were starting to bother him. First it had been Sion, but now Akiha and Ciel too...
... They were kind of cute this way, but only if Shiki didn't perfectly know what they were capable of.
"Ah, the investigation team are coming back, right? Let's... wait for them..."
