Sera felt the chains tighten around his body as he was dragged across the room, but wasn't about to go out that easily. With a suddenly expulsion of force coming from his entire body, he pushed the chains away with an expansion of energy around his body in a sphere, and darted through a small opening towards the exit, ignoring Jenso, and darting for one of the stairwells that headed for the bottom of the castle. The floor began to tilt even more, now at a 40 degree angle, making it extremely difficult to keep one's balance. Sera took one glance back at Jeff before disappearing completely into the opposite corridor that Jenso took.

	As Jenso made it to the loading bay, he saw Sera on the opposite end, jumping into a hovercraft piloted by several men in full mechanical armor. He glared at Jenso angrily and zoomed away underneath the castle, into the depths of Tech-mo, as the castle continued to fall.

	"Are you ok master Sera?" one of Sera's men asked, looking over his torn robe with care. Two white robed mages infused his body with healing energies as they zoomed over the city, while his other men drove the hovercraft. There were 5 men on the craft in total, including Sera. A lithe man with extremely high tech goggles, and a man who's face was completely obscured by a strange breathing helmet. His body was also covered in sectioned off armor pieces, that seemed to cover all of his skin.

	"I'm fine," Sera insisted. He looked down as his hand and clenched it cautiously. "It seems that this new power is unstable. That Gaian's Ki is trying to overpower my control. It almost knocked me out during that fight. If it wasn't for that.." Sera paused and slammed his fist against the rim of his hovercraft. "No, that's not all. It was also that other man, with the gauntlets. I didn't imagine there would be somebody else with [i]Arki[/i] mastery. I though that level of control over arcane energy and Ki was unique to elven kind. His power on top of that... The two of them together may pose a problem for us if they stand in my way." Sera looked back towards the falling castle and smirked. "We may have lost the battle, but the war will be ours.." He nodded and smiled.

	"The king is dead."
