Demeter's green sphere crashed into the left pew of the cathedral. Dizzy and unaware of her location she let go of Ptolemy's coat.

"Why did we crash?" asked Ptolemy rubbing the place where a small bump was beginning to form on his head.

"I have no idea," said Demeter looking at the stained glass windows of the cathedral, "It's possible that the Tracers found a way to trap me in Lambastia."

"In that you are correct." said a disembodied voice coming from two floating gray eyes.

"Tracer." said Ptolemy to the floating eyes.

"That is Agent Dent to you worm." said the Tracer,"Now come quietly Demeter or your doctor buddy here gets it."

The Tracer phased into existence, his clothes were ragged through battle and uncontrolled teleportation. His black hair was slicked back and revealed several scars, however these scars only added to his shadowy beauty.

Well, well, well. Mei had been expecting to find her sister, since all the aura evidence had pointed to Fei. Instead, she had found a Tou-san and a human, both apparently in trouble. The aura that radiated from the one who was threatening them was not benevolent. Mei approached carefully, knowing that any sudden movement could cost a life.

Stupid Imperial and Purine war... It had cost him companionship as well as, for a short period of time, his life. Without Otiephu, he had no one to be around. His time in Nori served little more then to bring even more loneliness to him. Everyone he had met had been rather quick to leave him with no one. And so here he was. Exploring elsewhere... Said elsewhere being Lambasita's Cathedral.

The flaming lizard could hear words from other beings, and instinctively moved toward said noise. His eyes fell upon the sight of Demeter, Ptolemy, and the Tracer. What was going on? Sounded like one wanted to hurt the other. That didn't seem very nice. He began hovering over to them, wanting to be able to listen to what was going on better. If someone tried to hurt the purity or the one that seemed to be with her he'd do his best to stop them, even if his best never had been much.
(Sorry. Next post'll be better, and I'll bring in the character for the Tracer side then)

Ptolemy got in front of Demeter, his fear overwhelmed by his need to protect the Incarnation,"Demi! Run! I'll hold him off!"
His voice was shaking but his arms were stretched to his sides to defend his friend.

Dent, annoyed at the arrogance that this fool could stop him, thrust a punch at the Doctor. It was burning with a gray fire, the same fire now flowing from his glowing eyes.
Demeter cried out, knowing there was nothing she could do to stop the attack.

[GrayGriffin]

(Can we control the Tracer? Otherwise I might have to change this.)
Mei flowed forwards, her etheral body turning to full spirit as she rushed to defend the doctor. She didn't know why exactly, but as these two had apparently helped her sister, she was honor-bound to help them in return. She quickly moved between the Tracer and his victim, before turning solid once more, her hooves rearing back to kick the Tracer's head.

He stumbled backwards, more surprised than hurt. Mei turned to the human and the Tou-san, and dipped her head in respect.

"Are you two alright?"

While the Nyghtmare attacked the Tracer, the little magma creeper did what he could do to help as well. He jumped forward, eyes gleaming as red flames tried to engulf the blue ones. His powers weren't great though, so surely a few flickers of the blue flames managed to get through. Surely they wouldn't be able to do too much damage since he had done his best to block what he could.

With that done the flaming lizard plopped down on the tiles a yard or two away from Ptolemy and Demeter. "Sorry I didn't come to your add sooner." No, he didn't know who they were, but to attack a Tou-san was just plain and simple wrong.

Quite the interesting sight this was, or so in her opinion. Attacking one of the purities? The female Elder kuhna watched from her perch up on one of the falling apart pillars. Now she wouldn't rush in and just attack a purity for now reason at all, but if this turned out to be something that seemed as though she'd have fun in doing, she'd certainly partake in helping this... tracer? She believe that was what they had called it.

Then there was her little ballama... That thing would likely take the side of the 'hero' once again. Stupid thing always got in her way.

[endermage]

"Guess it's time to reveal some actual power." said the Tracer, Agent Dent. His forearms glowed slightly red tinge as he took a knife and cut a straight line down each of the forearms. Blood spilled out and hit the floor, staining it a dark red.

"No! You don't know what you're doing!" screamed Demeter,"This isn't your fight you fools! His has Subtle Coding!"

The blood flowing from the Tracer crystallized creating elegant and deadly blood red blades.

"The first thing I'm gonna do is kill that damned Doctor...." said Dent.

He threw his body into the air and came crashing down on the Doctor, his blades extended. Ptolemy jumped out of the way just in time. Dent crashed into a wooden bench sending wooden shrapnel everywhere.

"Get back here Hargrave!" said the Tracer with a fury in his eyes.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei snorted. "Subtle Code? Sounds like a child's game..." Her eyes glowed eerily, as she glared at the Tracer, willing him to bend to her will. It was a power she had, one she delighted in. For mischief only, of course. But to save a life was quite a different thing. Tou-san were one of the greatest beasts, and to attack one was surely wrong in all counts.

For this, the human standing before her would perish. Oh, slowly of course, slowly. Or else there would be no fun. For she was a mare of Nyght, and she delighted in blood.

Aesriria sneered at the Nyghtmare. It threatened to ruin the fun of what she was getting to watch happen. That was, of course, something that she just couldn't allow to happen. The Elder kuhna jumped down from her high perch, claws extended and aiming to land on the equine's back. Were she to stick her landing, which was a high probability but not a perfect one, her large claws would dig into Mei's flank like many little daggers.

Subtle Code? The Magama Creeper had no clue what that was, but it didn't bother him in the least. She looked over at the Tou-san and spoke with a gentle smile for a creature that was usually considered evil, "Many people join fights that aren't theirs if they believe it's for the greater good. That is the main reason we are having this war." His gleaming eyes moved back to the Tracer, his smile quickly fading. Within seconds the flames on surrounding candles that lit the hallways flared out, which would give the others a great diversion to escape if they wished.

[endermage]

Unknown to the Nyghtmare was that Dent's Subtle Code not only produced his huge amount of power but also it didn't make him human anymore. He was more than human but at the same time...less than human. He was in a word...a monster.

As soon as the tendrils of the Nyghtmare's power began to slip into his mind they were instantly severed. However Dent was still worried. His worries lifted when thea Elder Kuhna struck the Nyghtmare.
"Heh...thanks Friend. I'll pay you back for this...."

Ptolemy stood up after being blasted into a bench. He needed a weapon. Where was his bag... There! On the floor next to Demeter. She had, with the bag in her claw, and had move away from the violence. Ptolemy made a mad dash for the bag, opened a secret compartment and pulled out his Eclipse Handgun. Hopefully he would have a fighting chance.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei screeched in pain as the talons dug into her, but focused her mind, and quickly phased out of existence. Once more, she became spectral, and she knew the Elder Kuhna would fall hard to the ground. She hoped that was what had severed the connection. If the man could do it by himself-

She didn't dwell on it. Instead, she started to try and put her whole being into that of the Tracer. If she could make it, she could at least figure out what he was thinking, and maybe forced him to hurt himself some. Not too much, of course, or she'd die too.

Aesriria landed on her feel, wincing due to the force of the impact on her small body. Her ears gave a small flick, hearing Dent's words. Pay her back? She couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. There was no need to 'pay her back'. This nyghtmare had stood in the way of her getting to watch a fun event. She wanted to stop that. Suddenly her amber eyes fell upon the odd little Gray ballama that always followed her around. It was floating around infront of the Tracer, as if trying to distract him. The feline let out a small growl, ears twitching. Oh how she hated that thing...

But there was something more important. Her ears stood up straight, catching onto another sound... the sound of the doctor shifting through his bag. She slinked into the darkness for a moment, jumping out next to him. "And what per say do you think you're doing, human?" her words slipped forth like venom.

Talbot had stayed close to Demeter, wanting to make sure Dent couldn't come near her. His eyes fell upon the kuhna and narrowed. Her again....

[endermage]

"Two Ethereal beings..." thought Dent,"Delicious...."
He focused his mind and the tentacles he had been hiding in his back slipped out. Being both physical and ethereal at the same time they wrapped themselves around the Balama and the Nyghtmare. They began to drain the spectral energy out of them.
"With your power...I will unlock the next phase of my evolution...and then I will RECAPTURE that stupid purity."

Meanwhile Ptolemy had gotten between the Elder Kuhna and Demeter. He pointed the Eclipse at her.
"I don't want to have to shoot you, but I will..." said Ptolemy.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei gasped, trying to break free, phase out, but the tentacles held her tight. She couldn't escape, and her power was being drained...but she couldn't let him win! With her last strength, she kicked forwards, trying to distract the Tracer so that he would release her. What sort of creature was this human? How could he fight her, no matter what she did?

[Kyrit]

The ballama let out a loud shriek, thrashing about in the grip of the Tracer. What was it doing?! How could it do this to it?! Seemed as though its companion didn't even care about its well being either, seeing as how the Elder kuhna made no effort to save it.

Aesriria looked at the gun and scoffed. "Shoot me if you want. Probably not the best idea though, seeing as how that wouldn't make someone I know very happy... Course not sure if you'd be able to kill me with that little thing either."

Talbot winced at the sound of the Ballama's pain. "S-Stop it! You're hurting the poor thing!" he exclaimed, shooting a few balls of magma at Dent. "Leave it alone!"
