[color=0072bc]“I could ask you the same thing and still wouldn’t get an answer that satisfies me Diana,”[/color] the Machina soldier said, glaring down the dragon like a bitter enemy. Her STLTH Units moved on their own, invisible flows in the air rippling as they lunged forward at Diana with swipes of their blade. Bastion would casually walk around the fight, eyes tracing to the massive forges of energy that housed the spoils and treasures of Ruthria.

[color=0072bc]“Our mission boils down to two objectives. Either obtain the power that was stolen from us in Ruthria or simply destroy it to cripple the Angels. You’ve done a good job of the latter Diana but I would still like to come out of this battle with something to show for it,”[/color] Bastion said in the face of the dragon’s announcements. Reaching into her pocket, she revealed several small [url=http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/05/23__08_47_29/scif.jpg5f6e9029-e768-4fbd-8e12-b4df5aa2f790.jpgLarger.jpg]disks[/url].

With a flick of her hand, the tools would move on their own and latch onto the forges directly, immediately draining away the energy. Storage devices specifically meant to syphon away power; so, that was Bastion’s true mission. The meltdown occurring would halt, at least temporarily so that the draining toys could do their dark work.

[color=0072bc]“Gahh!”[/color] said Bastion, suddenly held tersely by Diana. The STLTH Units paused in their actions, slowly turning their invisibility off one by one. [color=0072bc]“You think that’s enough to stop me?”[/color] Bastion said before swiftly delivering her elbow into the dragon’s gut. Twisting around, she forced Diana’s right arm behind her back and kicked her legs out, placing the dragon on her knees.

With a twirl of her hand, she unholstered a pistol by her side and aimed the muzzle right at Diana’s head. Yet the sound of her STLTH Units reacting distracted her from doing the grisly deed and she looked around them to notice they were surrounded by maggots. Hundreds and hundreds of maggots. At once the cyborgs created a perimeter around human and dragon, slashing away at inhuman speeds, barring all from making passage.

Narrowing her eyes, she looked up to see the gargantuan bird corpse staring back at them. So they thought she could be taken as a fool? Glaring, her right, red eye slowly morphed into a shade of brilliant gold and soon a burst of fire the same coloration would ignite right Chirada was perched. Or it would have, had the sudden rumble of power not made her almost trip, the flames exploding just a few inches from Chirada.

[color=0072bc]“What the hell is going on up there?” [/color]she growled, raising a hand up to open communications to someone from the surface. [color=0072bc]“Grafdaka, pick up [i]now[/i]. This is the Queen’s Treasure. I don’t know what’s going on but deal with it and do it quickly. Team up with the opposing faction if you have to, just kill it and kill it hard,”[/color] she said, not going to let Juno’s temper tantrum ruin the energy collecting process. That taken care of, she looked up to Chirada and launched another explosion of golden fire. This time she wouldn’t miss.

That was when she finally noticed Torag's impending form heading straight for her. Really not in the mood right now, she gave the bag of bones a dark glare, her left, blue eye heating up to the hue of a bright silver. Be it Angels or Demons, the Machina would prevail. It was time to show why the Queen's Treasure was so highly sought over in the haunting Battle of Dianex.

At the actual battlefield, the first STLTH Unit paused as it made direct contact, letting its image show just once before dashing forward once more. The enemy had raised a barrier around themselves but that wouldn’t hold for long. As such, the cyborg zipped from all sides, tossing shurikens all over at Tartys and Omega. But at once a flash of brilliant light halted the machine in its tracks and it stumbled forward. While it was rolling forward, the kunai it had thrown were still a factor. Some of them would be halted by the barrier, and yet some would shred away at the magic, digging deeper and deeper into the protected interior until it would find its mark. It was only a matter of time.

The second STLTH Unit was busy engaging with Flos, to which the cyborg now revealed its visibility. Quite frankly it didn’t see this Angel as a challenge given how he was fighting alone. Unless one had extraordinary power, it was dangerous to do such a thing in a solitary fashion in the Nexus. As such, the Machina lunged forward with blade in hand, ready to strike.

And as for Miyu…well, her prayers would be answered but perhaps not in the form she was expecting. A brilliant flash of light would shine down upon her before a strange new [url=http://orig06.deviantart.net/f301/f/2012/327/4/e/magic_chaos_shield_by_moocheeser-d5ly84e.png]tool[/url] would manifest in her hands. As if that would solve all her problems. She should have known better since the Imperator was a busy woman and didn’t have time for prayer. The shield would have to make do for now. But it wasn’t just any shield. It was a magic shield. Made of magic.
