A barrage of heat would hit Shinzu, causing him to let out a sluggish sigh. If the harsh temperatures were not soul destroying enough, all the sand just seemed to further add to the difficulty factor of crossing the desert. If the look of pure misery was not testament enough to his suffering, then no doubt the sweat patches around his underarms would serve as more than enough proof. "Why must she be hiding out here of all places..." 'Her' referring to Eudora, the target the teen had been assigned to kill in return for a hefty bounty.

In all honesty though Shinzu was not here for the bounty, but simply to test out his powers against a powerful opponent, something which there has been a lack of lately. Having grown slightly lost in his own thoughts however, the teen would suddenly return to reality as a chain exploded out of a dune and crashed beside him in a flurry of sand. "Eudora..." The teen muttered as he froze in place. Clearly that was a warning shot, no doubt a attempt at deterring the teen. Rather unfortunately however, thanks to this Eudora had just revealed her location, something which the mage had no trouble in exploiting. "So are you going to make this easy, or fun and difficult?"

Rank: A Posts Limit: 6 Objective: After a strife against Shiva, Shinzu has been left heavily damage and unable to recall past memories. His ability to register new memories also seems to have been affected, though with enough help, he does seem to be able to recall certain events or people. Help him uncover his past and find out just exactly what happened to him. Reward: 1200 Jewels Exp: 120 Exp He wasn't alone long, No in fact he was actually the second one to have arrived. Though Yoichi knew he probably wouldn't win on his own, The armor this person had was too good of an opportunity to pass up. The Black Winged Armor, A piece of armor so rare...So divine....Simply having it would be amazing even if he couldn't wear it yet. Alas, He was tired from walking and so he sat down to rest, Unknowing about the male that was approaching "Why does walking have to be such a chore" He muttered to himself, Slumping down a little with one leg extended across the hallway. It wasn't a very wide area that Euroda was hiding in that was for sure. Either way Yoichi wasn't leaving without that armor, It was said that the armor was enchanted with the ability to increases the user's offensive capabilities, and allows the user to use it in conjunction with any number of weapons in order to deal the users' enemy great damage as well as the ability to fly. It was just one of the Purgatory armors and it was something that Yoichi must have!

"Now why would a handsome male such as your handsome self be walking around a desert dressed up like you're ready to kill somebody?" a mature voice emitted from around Shinzu, standing on a sand dune just a distance behind them was Eudora.
"I see no reason to, therefore I shan't. I guess you're after me?" She winked, heading close to them and pressing one hand to her hip, the black winged armor shining in the sun and a cruel smile on her face.

"Seems like pain will happen for you." With that said, she moved her hands forwards and two spiked chains flung from her wrists and headed directly towards Shinzu, one wrapping around Shinzu's waist and legs, the spiked end grappling into his skin, the other flying around Shinzu's arms, the spikes jetting into his shoulder. She pulled her wrist backwards, allowing the chains wrap around his arms.
"My name is Eudora, what is yours?" She tilted her head, the smile on her face. "...And one more question I'd like the answer to." Eudora's smile brightened, but it wasn't as kind as she had given off before, the smile became snarky, dark, crazed. "Tell me... Heheh... Do you plan on living?"

With that, she smirked, the chains began to rattle and spikes began to slowly form out of the chains, slowly digging into Shinzu's arms and legs as they grew.

[Shinzu]

Shinzu would focus his eyes on Eudora as she appeared, causing his eyes to collapse into a squint as he struggled to make out her figure what with all the sand reflecting the sunlight. "Probably because I am ready to kill you." He answered before reaching for his blade. Before the teen could do so however two chains would explode out of Eudora, succesfully wrapping around the mage and causing him to cringe as they squeezed against his flesh. To make maters worse, he would wince slightly as pain exploded out of his shoulder and back as the end of the chain dug deeply into his flesh.

"My name? That is a irrelevant concept." Still possessing enough movement to clasp his hands together, black lightning would begin emanating from Shinzu, destroying the chains behind him before the spikes could elongate enough to injure him seriously. "For you see, you are going to die anyway." With his legs slightly injured, the teen would simply drop onto his knees instead of moving them, allowing him to slam his palms into the ground. Four purple beams of light would then stretch across the flour in a cross shape, with the mage behind in the centre and Eudora undearneath one of the beams.

Rather abrubtly, a mixture of purple and black rain would then begin showering the ground the purple light had tainted, namely Eudora. If she did nothing, she would find herself weighed down by each droplet before eventually being crushed between the gravitional energy and the ground. "Oh and tell me, do you plan of living?"

Spell Name: Gravity Crush
Type: Universal/Gravity
Level: Destructive
Range: 30 Meters
Description: This spell is initiated by the user forming a cross shape with his arms. Black energy will then begin to form around the mages body, which is constantly pulsating and firing off arcs of purple lightning. After spending about 2 seconds channeling this energy, the mage can then slam both his hands onto the ground which will cause four beams of purple light to taint the ground in the shape of a cross, with the caster in the center. Then after a moment, a mixture of purple and black energy will begin raining down and pelting anything inside the cross shape. The energy shower is actually condensed gravitational energy, so anything caught inside will be weighed down immensely. If nothing is done, enemies will find themselves being crushed between the ground and the gravity for a full post.
Drawback: The spell lasts for a full post, during which the user cannot move or cast any other spells. If the users focus or stance is broken then the spell will end prematurely. Only effects enemies inside the purple light. Three post cooldown.
Price and Availability: 6 Essence Crystals.

She waved one hand above her head, creating a sort of metal-umbrella like formation before taking a step forward and summoning more chains, letting them once again wrap around Shinzu and began pulling him slowly towards her with the chains, the sound of rattling as they began to withdraw back into her body.

As the sand dune she stood on began to corrode, she instantly moved her hand through the air, creating a strong wave and sending it into him before swinging him around in the air, the cruel smile on her face before pulling him towards her. Realizing his friend nearby who had been staring this whole time, she sent some chains in his directions and watched them snake their way around him. "Lets see..." She murmured quietly to herself, smirking. They began to pull Yoichi towards her too before eventually he was by her side and she let the metal umbrella disappear.

"Seems us three die together then." she smirked, the chains wrapping more around the two males and herself. "Sayonara ~"

[Shinzu]

"Sayonara indeed." Despite being a desert, the temperature would suddenly begin to drop around Shinzu, so much so that tiny bits of frost had begun appearing around Eudora's chain, causing a creaking sound as the thin layer of ice stretched itself against the warm metal. The chain in direct contact with the teen however seemed to be receiving the worst of it as they became solidified in what looked like a black of ice that had frozen them right down to the core. This rather abrupt change from hot to cold would cause the creaking sound from earlier to once again emanate through the air as the slightly expanded metal began to shrink back down to its original size, causing the chains to crack slightly.

With a small part of his job already done, Shinzu would simply use his strength to break free from the frozen chains which would shatter along with the ice binding them. This would reveal a pair of glacial-like wings stretched across the teens back along with a layer of frost around his arms which would end at his fingers in vicious looking talons. "Take over: Cryophoenix." He muttered before becoming air born with a flap of his wings. Now around 10 meters in the air, the mage would flap his wings violently, unleashing a torrent of icicles which would be carried downwards with the aid of gravity. The majority of this was aimed at Eudora, however if Yoichi was lucky and she did nothing, the icicles would also break apart some of her chains, setting him free.

Spell Name: Cryophoenix (Half-body Transformation)
Level: Intermediate
Range: Self
Description: While a phoenix is a sacred bird made from intense flames that can be reborn from its own ashes, the Cryophoenix is its exact polar opposite; a being made from pure hellish frost. This spell represents the level of transformation the mage can achieve at his current power, such being a half-body transformation. This allows the user to manifest up to half of the Cryophoenix, allowing the mage to conjure up a pair of wings made of pure ice or transform his fingers into blade like talons. The intense aura emitted by this form will cause a thin layer of frost to form around anything that has not moved for more than a few seconds in a 10 meter radius around the user. The frost itself is incredibly slippery and will make anything it is latched onto very hard to move, reducing its speed by 25%. It can however easily be broken through brute force or simply melted off, however the former may end up causing damage if not done carefully. Any heat based spells entering this zone will have their effectiveness lowered by 25%.
Drawback: The freezing aura will constantly drain the user of a feeble amount of magic every post and it can never be turned off while this form is active, meaning it could possibly hinder allies just as much as enemies. Swapping body parts with the Cryophoenix also takes time, costing the user a full post to get rid of a part and then another post to form another, the only other limitation being that no more than half of the users body can be transformed at a time.


Spell Name: Frost Born
Level: Intermediate
Range: Long
Description: This is the ability to manipulate ice as if it were an extension of one's own body, allowing the user to shape ice into clones, weapons or even fire shards off as projectiles. This ability can only be used while in Cryophoenix form (at least a half-body transformation). The user also cannot manipulate any external sources of ice and rather, must use pieces of their transformed body. All ice creations are incredibly durable, being able to withstand spells of a lower rank rather easily; however spells of the same rank will shatter the ice with little effort and any ice leaving a 30 meter radius of the user will instantly melt and become uncontrollable.
Drawback:The smaller the creations, the less energy they will take to create, meaning something the size of needles will take no more than greenhorn magic and will form almost instantly. On the other hand, forming something as large as an elephant will use up very large amounts of energy and may even take a full post to form. Controlling objects such as clones will also drain the user of energy every post which is also dependant on its size.

He let out a sigh and thought to himself "Now...Should I try to help Shinzu?" He wondered softly to himself as he watched, Keeping his pressence hidden from the two if possible. He had no reason to reveal himself just yet so he would keep himself concealed if at all possible though didn't know how well the ugly lady could tell of others awareness around them.

Eudora's eyes snapped towards Shinzu as icicles began to fall towards her, she could feel her chains beginning to break and weaken as the ice hit them.
Snarling, a long spiked iron tail lashed out from behind her, she let the chains break and release Shinzu.

Smirking, she let her whole body turn into metal, becoming nothing but a chrome appearance. Despite the sand sucking her in, she lashed her spiked tail and lunged for Shinzu, claws at the ready.

[Shinzu]

Shinzu cringed at the foes appearance, her skin growing more metallic by the moment. It certainly wasn't take over magic, that much was for sure, however regardless he knew deep down inside that injuring her would require slightly more effort now. "Bitch" He howled before growing wide eyed as she leaped forwards. Slamming his hands onto the ground, a sudden cold wind would violently blast out from his palms, causing bars of ice to explode out from the ground all around him.

A torrent of sand would also follow, launching itself at Eudora's eyes, though whether or not this would be effective was unknown, especially when considering how that her eyeballs were now made out of some sort of metal similar to her chains. At the very least however, they would block her vision for a moment before clearing to reveal that the icicles around Shinzu had merged to form a protective cylinder of ice all around him. The ice itself was also dense enough to block a intermediate level spell, however the true goal was in the fact that if the enemy carried out her attack, the barrier of ice would break apart on contact and shower her with rather large shards of ice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Things seemed to be heating up between the two as Yoichi observed from the sidelines. He gave a slight smirk and moved away some. He knew this wasn't something he should get involved in, He knew how strong Shinzu was and if this chick was giving him a bit of trouble, She'd kick his ass and probably kill him. So instead he stayed on the sidelines, Keeping his pressence masked and staying far out of reach and sight of either of them. 'Well...It's a shame I can't help Shinzu...Although I must say I hope he wins...Her armor would definitely make for some nice Requip armor' He thought to himself. There wasn't really much he could do, If he tried to engage her, She'd just smack him around like a rag doll...

[/td][/tr][/table][/center]

[ritsuko]

What many would expect from a girl was a scream, instead a howl that was blood curdling and bone ripping. She leaned back and felt the ice collide with her body. As she grew in size, the metal began to expand and tremble as the ice clung onto her, causing the metal to shrink and basically fight against her attempts.

"I'm not afraid to die, so with one more attempt!" she stretched her arms in the air, laughing violently, maniacally as the crashing of metal emitted. Suddenly the metal stopped. "And if this doesn't kill you, then fuck it all! You will never surpass!" she began to tremble and shiver before exploding, sending metal flying everywhere in small sharp shards. Her armor falling to the ground with a small pool of blood.

If Shinzu and Yoichi didn't attempt quickly, then they would be killed by impalement of this aoe explosion.

[Shinzu]

Something was strange. Eudora had just launched herself at Shinzu who was now safely in his cocoon of ice, however there had been no impact to suggest that she was trying to break open the barrier. "What is that insane woman doing..." A faint voice could be heard outside of the glacier of ice, followed by the laughter of a crazed woman. "She is planning something..." The teen pondered over this before touching his creation, causing the entire structure to glow in a faint hue of blue.

Suddenly, the ice would begin expanding, growing up to twice its original size and even sealing off the top, making it the perfect defense against whatever Eudora was planning. With the outside world completely sealed off however, Shinzu would be in complete silence, until of course the sound of something making impact with his cocoon would emanate into the air. The vibrations would not stop however and instead, increased in both repetition and strength, almost like hundreds of objects were pelting against the ice.

Cracks would begin forming in the wall of blue around Shinzu, which would slowly grow outward like branches. Eventually, the structure of ice would be able to take no more and would simply crumble under Eudora's attack. Instinctively, Shinzu readied his sword against his chest, the act of which causing several metallic clangs to echo into the air as they blocked shards of metal. Several pieces however would find their way into the teens arms and thigh, causing him to crumble over in pain.

A quick glance however would reveal that Eudora was now gone, though where to was still a mystery. "Did that coward escape... Or did she end her life for that meaningless spell?" Grasping the cold metal digging deep into his thigh, Shinzu would harshly pull it out, the act which causing him to howl in pain before losing balance and toppling over into the now freezing sand. All that remained now were chunks of ice and metal, though a closer inspection would reveal Eudora's black Armour amidst some debris. Limping over to it, the teen would claim it as his own, before a glint in the distance would catch his eye. One of the dunes had been blown away to reveal a tent of some sorts, no doubt Eudora's hiding place. It probably held some useful items and maybe even a spare set of Armour, however being in no condition for some exploring, the mage simply turned his back before limping away into the horizon.

Thankfully Yoichi was clear of the blast radius by the time it happened. When he returned to it however, Shinzu had already vanished. He shrugged either way and moved to the Tent, Grinning his teeth happily as he found just what he had came for, The Black Winged Armor. He made sure the coast was clear before taking it and stashing it away with the rest of his Requip armor. He was quite pleased with himself really, Technically he didn't help take down the women, But he could still claim his reward irregardless, Even if Shinzu didn't realize it.
