Emiri's swing was much too forecful and wild. Had she made contact, it surely would have done some damage, the ground breaking beneath her blade certainly showed as much. Alas, that was not the case, and as he avoided the attack, she felt a hit to her back. The force of it was brutal, to say the least, and she felt her sword slip from her hands. Before she could even react, however, Ixion had grabbed her by her neck and brought her to him. Nadeline had jumped back when Emiri missed, intending to do a counterattack, but froze in place as he grabbed the brunette. Emiri let out a cry of mixed pain and shock as he pulled her to him, and the cold touch of his blade near her neck made her realize what he had been trying to accomplish. 

As Jaakuna advanced and Ixion further pressed his blade onto her skin, she struggled against his grip. Nadeline's eyes widened, and she looked at Jaakuna, extending her arm. "[b][color=fdc68a]Stop![/color][/b]" The blonde haired girl yelled out, trying to warn him lest he do anything foolish in his haste to protect Emiri. Ixion was much too dangerous and bloodthirsty, no doubt he wouldn't hesitate to kill the brunette if he so desired. The fact that he would even think to take one of them hostage just proved how loathsome the man was.
