[color=ed1c24]"If you keep pushing,"[/color] The man started, following Jenso's movements perfectly, and reacting with a wall of reddish energy that surrounded his body, [color=ed1c24]"You'll kill yourself before I have a chance."[/color] Lark dashed forwards and sliced at the barrier, but his sword only cracked it slightly, and the man within launched a ball of energy towards the Gaian's torso, pushing him back. Mikey circled around opposite to where Jenso attacked from and punched at the red man while he was distracted, but was stopped by a sudden spike that jutted from the ground, into his other leg. He fell down onto both knees, as his legs, despite working fine a moment ago, stopped functioning. Lark dashed at him again, but the man, without moving from his position, rose a hand and encircled Lark in a sudden amalgamation of reddened chain-like energy, which pulled him back and tossed him to the ground. Lark felt his energy leave his torso quickly, after which point, Jenso was the man's primary target.
