As the party reached Alexei, it appears the predictable has happened and they immediately braced themselves for combat. The shadow of Alexei took on a [url=http://i.imgur.com/IOzIeqs.png]monolithic visage[/url], covered in blood. Though as much as Alexei might believe this isn't him, as the shadow began to take form and do it's thing, he began to doubt that optimistic belief. The figure below the sword stuck in the shadow's belly began to cry out in Alexei's little sister's voice for help.

Nothing!... Well, no more! You lot there! I'll start with you then, if you're going to tie me down with some shitty 'duty' then get the hell out of my face, or I'll make you!"[/color][/b]

With little warning the shadow with one hand grabbed a couple blades off the back of the monolithic body it stood on, grasping at the swords in-between it's fingers and threw them at the party, doing all of this alarmingly quickly. Rui and Sato darted to the side while Akane using Setanta blocked the swords, with Kotori behind her.
