*Something moving fast toward the cage Hayzie was trapped in caused the rain and mist to split like the ripple effect of a boat. By becoming the mist he could litterally be everywhere within it at once so he knew what was happening to Hayzie, but this cage would require more force than just rain to break it. He moved fast through the water letting it push him forward. He gathered as much momentum as he could and brought water and wind with him. He didnt know what properties the cage had but it would be interesting trying to break it.
He pulled out his sword and sliced through skeletons on his way as they attempted to bar his way. He was too fast for them though. The blade was perfect to make sure none impeded his movement.
He continued gathering speed and then seemed to turn into a force of wind and water. He sped full tilt toward the cage ramming it with the elements. The cage rocked a little but nothing seemed to happen. He shook off the force of the blow and faded back into mist.
This was not going to work and he had no clue how to free her. He was very aware that this person knew he was here whoever the man of mystery was. A deliberate trap but Chris was fine. He was considerably safe as water itself though at some point he would have to figure out how to get Hayzie free.

Unknown smiled and stepped back, so that he was at one edge of the fire ring.
"Chris, I assume? Show yourself to me. I am challenging you. I want a fair fight, weapons allowed, but no magic or tricks. We fight like old friends, not blood thirsty enemies. Win, and you can have the girl."
Unknown smiled and twirled his wand. It disappeared into his suit. He reached to his side and pulled out two daggers that were attached there. They were long and made of silver. As soon as he had pulled these two out, one in each hand, they were replaced in his holster by two more. His saber was sheathed at his side, also.
"Face me, monsiuer, and die a horrible death. Dont face me, and I shudder to think of what will happen to the girl..."bg

ooc: Well this is interesting!
bic: Uh...oh... Hayzie thought to herself as the Hovermatic began moving on its own, and even more so when she saw who it was moving towards. One of the Shadows who didn't look overly impressed.
And then he did the worst thing he could do. Seperated her from her wheelchair. It was reflex action to bring her hands up to try and remove the grip on her throat, but before long, he had done the deed himself and thrown her to the floor as if she were a rag doll that a child had got bored with.
Rubbing gently at her throat and regaining her breath, the blonde was about to call her chair back over and levitate herself into it when a cage fell down around her. Now her movements were restricted in two ways. Joys.
"Too much trouble for the bad guy to handle? Well you're not as threatening as I thought if that's the case!" The girl called out, casting a few experimental spells at the cage, all of which were simply absorbed, not taking any effect at all. It was then the blonde realised the motives behind the Shadow's actions. Chris and a duel. There were possibly a hundred people in the Square, and this Shadow had to go and pick one of her old friends, didn't he?
Listening to the terms, worried green eyes looked around for Chris and she shook her head. Chris was a student, this guy was a lot more powerful than he was. Looking down at her pocket where her wand rested once again, she nodded and vowed silently to help out where she could. Trapped or not, Hayz wasn't one to totally abandon a friend in need.

"Right."
Miles transformed and tore a hole in the back of the bar, big enough for him and the villagers to get out. Alright, everyone, run. Run far, run fast, ust run and don't look back.
James, get on my back, we gotta go. That was pretty impressive stuff, never seen that before. But now, we've got to save whoever we can and get out.

"Agreed. Drakborough's theirs now. One quick thing though."
He put on a scarf from the coat rack and threw his cloak back on. He then planted his sword in the ground and tore at the hilt. Anybody watching would be amazed, the sword was becoming two. Lightseeker and Darkstalker. The decorative rose near the hilts were white and black, respectively. He got up on Miles and they took off.
He looked as some wild knight out of a feral past. "Sir James the Wolf-Rider". He cut down the Shadows that got in his path and found Hayzie's prison. He watched the battle between this newcomer and the Unknown One.
"Hayzie, don't worry we'll get you out of there. Somehow."
He watched out for any of the other Dark Lords and watched the battle, ready to jump in should Chris fail. But considering how he had handled Vlad that seemed unlikely.
Skullwhite charged back into battle. It had shifted back into a more natural rain, instead of the bloody snow it had been. Good, It would facilitate hs third form. He surveyed the area, to see where he could do the most good. His gaze oriented on the Lycan bearing a young wizard on his back.
The kelpie shifted into his water form and inhabited a large puddle directly in the Lycan's path. When the Lycan crossed it, Skullwhite wound round his ankles, dragging him down, yet his target wasn't the Lycan. When he'd bound the Lycan enough, he sent another tendril toward James, pulling him off of his steed. His water filled Jame's lungs and sinuses. This would be a more satisfiying drowning than the last.

Oh Shit! A Kelpie! James had to think quickly. He was in this nightmarish situation that just got worse by the second. He could hold his breath for a long time, but the Kelpie was forcing water into his lungs. He focused on the runes once more.
He reached out and grabbed the Kelpie. Normally, this would be impossible, but the runes let him grapple with the fiend's shapeless form. He applied incrediple pressure and heat on him...he could feel something giving in...the water started to boil...incredible heat... and he let go!
James was rudely ejected from his body and once he landed he coughed up a fair amount of water. James got back up, soaking wet. He threw his waist-length hair over his head. His face was beet red from the boiling. His eyes were full of fire and hate. He snorted, clearing his sinuses.
"Alright then you bastard." In this sentence, he sounded distinctly Irish, his mother's genetics taking over. "Show me your human form! We'll settle this as men!"
OOC: Hayzie XD Chris graduated Oh, why that does indeed tickle my fancy!. Im pretty sure im no longer a student.
*From down the road Chris realized what was happening to this other student. He would have to lose his own sure safety against Unknown but he needed help to have any shot of rescuing Hayzie. He appeared a few feet from where Mustang WAS drowning and saw that he had freed himself. He closed his eyes and the rain slowed down a bit followed by a huge wind that came from behind him. It blew the rain water and mist all past Chris as he stood there. He grabbed Mustangs arm holding him from blowing away. The puddles that had attempted to drown him had blown clear away past the edge of town along with whatever was in them. They would cease when the wind broke apart somewhere over the atlantic or so. Chris' range had gotten better over the years.*
"Sorry no time for screwing around with things that dont matter. Pays to be an elemental mage huh?"
*Chris grinned at the student.*
"Alright but now i need your help."
*Chris pulled out his wand and turned around. He flicked it to his right and his items reappeared. He picked up his pouch and pulled out two small boxes. He waved his wand again and his belongings disappeared again. Chris turned back to Mustang and gave him both items.*
"Take these and put them up against to bars of the cage. Then say "bekommen aufspannen". A stone ring will begin to expand from each side of the box and connect on the other side of the bar. Say "umgeben" and they will contract crushing the bars. Take Hayzie and get out of here as fast as you can. Ill be right behind you. Fighting this unknown guy in this town and with this many people is a lost cause."
*With that Chris turned around and waved his wand saying "viele leute". Around him hundreds of human looking creatures emerged from the ground made from solid rock. They stood up and turned to face Chris waiting for orders.*
"Wir brauchen funfzehn minuten, und ich kann nicht ihn abhalten. Fall an!"
*Chris pointed down the road to where unknown was with Hayzie. The army marched in that direction at a pace. Chris held out his hand and a spark flew around him encircling him in sparks.*
"That should stop anything physical he has to throw at me. Good luck."

Skullwhite was unperturbed by James's escape, He still held the Lycan hostage. When that wind elemental fellow blew his cover away, Skullwhite was well pleased. He had mantained his hold on the wolf creature. When they stopped being blown away, Skullwhite pressed his avantage. He flooded the Lycan's lungs instead, not enough to drown him comepletely, but enough to knock him out for a few hours.
Brother Lycan, You are a half-thing like myself. Neither man nor beast. I will not kill you unless you force my hand. I do not comprehend your willingness to fight for the mortals, but it is your choice. Do not come between me and Mustang, he challenged me. He is mine.
With that, Skullwhite once again galloped toward battle, his incredible speed getting him ther in next to no time. "Mustang!" he called, "Thou hast challenged me, and here I stand. If thou be a man, thou wilt answer!" His green-gold eyes glittered in anticipation. He shifted to man form, this time in the garb of an ancient European Knight. From the rain itself, he crafted a blade in the form of a broadsword, perfectly balanced and weighted. He had infused it with other powers too, but he wished only to fence with Mustang, no magic involved, skill against skill alone.bgbg
Unknown screamed and threw one of the daggers into the ground. His wand shot into his hand, and he aimed it at the boxes Chris gave to the student. They shot into the air, where a vulture swooped down and grabbed them. The vulture then disappeared into no where with the boxes.
Unknown turned his wand to Chris and the magical sparks disappeared.
"You have turned down my challenge, wizard, now I will take the girl and leave. You fail, monsiuer."
Unknown bent down and picked up his dagger with his hand not holding his wand. He walked over to Hayzie, put his wand on the cage, and Hayzie and the cage and Unknown disappeared.
Unknown instantly reappeared behind Chris, his daggers in both hands. All in one motion, quiet as a rain drop falling through the air, he twisted Chris' arm behing his back and grabbed Chris' other hand with his other hand and moved them both up to Chris' throat, the dagger resting against it.

James drew Lightsseker and Darkstalker. The twin katanas crackled with power. He eyed Skullwhite's weapon, he was quite familiar with broadswords. This wouldn't take long. He had been handling sword since he was four. He scraped the ground, testing the swords. He produced sparks. Yep, razor sharp.
Perfect.
He got into a battle stance, One sword arced over his head, and the other at his side. They circled each other warily, prdators eyeing each other for a prize.
James closed the distance and they crossed blades.
Skullwhite's malicious grin dominated his face. Even if Mustang were as big a fool as he seemed, he was no coward. Skullwhite reached back though his thousands of years of consiousness, recalling every battle he'd ever fought. He'd need to rely on experience on this, the only sword play he'd done recently were mock battles in the Unseelie Court.
If Mustang were using two blades, Skullwhite should outfit himself similarly. Another blade formed in his freehand. "I'm glad you're no coward, boy. If you hadn't answered my challenge, I'd have come for you anyway."
Their blades met. The kelpie circled to the left, he whipped his right-hand blade around to injure Mustang's knee. Knees were a particularly hard wound to heal, and they did a lot that most people never noticed.bg
Max listened to his final speech with deep interest. Although he knew most of it must have been created to set the 'Good' side against each other, it was true. Where WAS Talon!? It seemed every other person in the WHOLE universe had shown up, besides him. Even a freak in a mask had shown up, only to be eaten, or something. He stood, gazing at the Count. No matter how much power the other ones had, he was still the attention grabber. He simply... glowed(or was it the opposite of glowed?) of power. Max had watched with awe the events of the attack. He had seen skeletons, masks, fireworks... but what Max had really wanted to see was a display of the Count's power. He had been dissapointed, sadly. The attack seemed to be over. Even though he was a bit sad at the deaths all around him, he found it hard to grieve when he was supposed to be one of them. He sighed, and watched how Scorpius watched the aftermath.
His stalking of James had proved unsuccessful; though he had followed him out of the house and into the now-frozen bar, Muryllis did not wish to risk attacking the Auror's son when he had the protection of a lycan and other, albeit less adept, witches and wizards. Quite sorry, my good Syrus - this attempt at capturing Mustang did not work out the way I wanted it to. My humblest apologies. The message was sent, using his Society badge, to Syrus himself - indeed, this was a rather pathetic failure. However, luck seemed to have shown its shining face as James left - only to be covered up again with the duel he began with Skullwhite. No, Muryllis was not capable of a backstab like this - it was simply dishonorable to attack an opponent engaged in a duel.
Standing mere feet from the fighting James and Skullwhite, Muryllis soon diverted his attention to the calling of Scorpius - the order had been given to fall back. Catching the faint image of the ghostly Max out of the corner of his eye, Muryllis waved - indeed, a casualty of a former escapade, and one to be honored as such. There was no time, however, seeing as most of the Shadows had begun to leave, fading into the shadows. Muryllis himself simply walked, though his style made it appear to be more of a glide, to Scorpius, standing next to the Count as he surveyed the damaged town.
"So then, my good Scorpius; I'm afraid I could not capture our Mustang - he was either defended in a manner which I could not handle, or engaged in an activity that I simply could not force myself to ambush him. What are we to do now?" He looked around at the group of elite guards Scorpius stood with - Muryllis seemed to stand out with the void-like black robes and the simple, pale white mask. The entire group, however, unscathed and perfectly calm, stood out itself in the tense background of chaos and distruction.
Evliyn heard the call to fall back. She gathered what shiney baubles she had looted, gave a final salute to the family that had been trapped in the flooding celler and disappeared into mist with a giggle. Her first attack as a Society member had been memorable. And Talon had not appeared to the aids of the villagers. She considered that a successful campaign.
For whom does the lonely cry out for with such anguish?
