[@Teoinsanity]
Stein smiled, as Teo launched up into the air. Whilst neither Stein nor Mia were capable of flight, it would be fairly easy to bring him back down to Earth. The sturdyness of Teo's soul would make most of their Soular attacks useless, as those were focused around the destruction of Souls. However, Mia's Black Blood made her an immensely capable physical combatant, and Stein had quite the number of tricks up his sleeve. Now he'd just have to-

For just a second, time stopped. Stein was frozen, still, unmoving. All of his plans fell apart, as this unknown element hit the battlefield, even as Teo shot down. He had one second, no more no less. But using the boosts of his wings, as well as his not inconsiderable emotional power, that was more than enough time. Unfortunately for Stein, the insanity that had begun to infiltrate Teo's mind was enhancing his emotions, making him more powerful.

The hammer shattered flesh and bone, as time resumed it's usual course. Even Stein's reinforced body was insufficient to withstand the force of the hammer as it tore through the metal coating his skeletal structure. It did not stop on impact, but rather went straight through Stein's body, like a scythe.

Stein stepped back, as his arm was ripped from his side.

Teo had missed the head. Stein was capable of messing with the delusions of the insane, but that had been the limit of his ability. He had made it appear like he was half a meter to the left, and the results had saved his life, although they had cost him a limb. A swift kicked forced Teo back, although it did no real damage. He had underestimated his opponent, and had brushed death because of it. It was not his style to be so careless, and he would have to take precautions to ensure this did not happen again.

Mia, in the mean time, payed little attention to her father. He'd been beaten up worse, he'd just stitch the arm back on later. Or maybe he'd get a new arm, maybe from the fellow he was fighting right now. It made no difference. He wouldn't die. Of that Mia was sure. The toys in front of her were so much more important to her, and as Melody spoke, she simply smiled.

"Soul Purge"

Screams echoed through the village, as Melody writhed on the floor, white lightning encasing her. Gems cracked, and eyes shone, as her soul shook and tore. Mia's soul battered it like a ram, resonating with it only to use it's own power against it. Whilst her body had no vital organs, and killing her might have been hard, her soul remained vulnerable. And Mia had no intention of stopping. This was her toy to play with, her toy to break. She whispered into Melody's ears as the energy flowed over here, breaking her, but Melody would never be able to recall the words through the haze of agony.
