Nemo watched the fight with manalysis, giving him a better idea of what was going on. He saw Raiya's manawell plummet and was curious as to how this could of happened. But he developed a hypothesis quickly enough. [color=c0c0c0][i]Her sword must be taxing her mana when it destroys solid objects, unfortunately Caspian's enchanted sword must issue a high tax. That small nick she caused must have tanked her wells.[/i][/color] Before he could continue theory crafting, a more pressing issue seemed to arise...


Caspian rushed towards Raiya as she tried to cover. [color=8882be][i]Not looking down on me anymore are ya?[/i][/color] He thought as he pulled his cutlass up high, ready to finish her off. [color=8882be]"At least you'll die by the sword."[/color] Caspian commented as he started to bring down his blade towards her neck. Unfortunately his victory party was cut short when the saya of Nemo's sword blocked it at the last second, preventing him from casting his death blow. 

[i][color=8882be]Shit! How could he of gotten here so fast without me noticing?[/color][/i] Caspian thought.[i][color=8882be] He must have some sort of warp, but even then I should of been able to pick up the activation. [/color]

Nemo pulled his sword up, pushing Caspian's cutlass up along with it. He let go of his own sword, causing it to spin around up in the air. With his hands free he reached out with one arm to grab Caspian by the arm holding his sword. Caspian soon tried to counter attack with his free hand by charging a spell, but was panicked to find out that while in Nemo's grasp he was unable to cast spells. He swung at him all the same, but Nemo easily ducked under it. 

Caspian left himself wide open, and in return Nemo used his other arm to tightly grasp him by the throat. He lifted Caspian off his feet with a display of strength, and then violently turned and threw him away like a ragdoll in a show of force. Caspian heavily collided with the metal ground away from the pair. Nemo caught his sword once it came back down from the air and held it at his side. 


Caspian groaned and slowly got back up to his feet. He picked his Cutlass back up and regained his composure. [color=8882be]"Didn't anyone ever teach you to mind your own fuckin' business 'bino boy?"[/color] He stated angrily, dusting his jacket off. 


[color=c0c0c0]"I apologize for my intrusion. But, with this matter, I simply must insist."[/color] Nemo replied. He tone and attitude seemed to be much less upbeat than usual. He didn't have any jokes, quips, or even an insult to throw in. Caspian let out a small chuckle in response.

Nemo looked over to Raiya, checking her condition, then looked back to Caspian. [color=c0c0c0]"Eight moves."[/color] He stated, causing a confused reaction from Caspian. [color=8882be]"What?"[/color] He asked. 

[color=c0c0c0]"This battle will have eight moves before I kill you. So unless you can kill me before then, prepare to die."[/color] Nemo elaborated.


Caspian didn't respond with any words, he simply let out a small scoff, smirked, and raised his sword up into a ready stance.

Roy's grenade was indeed forced back by Zuri's spell, but it exploded into a thick cloud of purple smoke halfway back to Roy, creating a barrier of noxious gas between them. Coupled with Travis' fresh ice-wall, it left him with only one option left: forward. And forward he went. 

After a moment of silence, Roy suddenly burst forth from the cloud of purple gas, covering his nose and mouth with his arm as he ran through like a juggernaut. Besides a few scratches, he didn't seem to be significantly damaged from Zuri's pebble sized barrage. Trying to capitalize on the element of surprise, Roy then pulled two knives from their holders and hurled them at the two closet people, Travis and Zuri. 

He was now much closer to the group, with a wall of gas behind him preventing him from retreating. For a witch hunter however, being closer wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
