As Nadeline skidded back to a halt, she readied herself for the incoming attack. So the orbs were indeed his choice of 'weapon', though admittedly they were more durable than she would have hoped. Her eyes widened as the spear was formed, and she took a step back. The shape looked oddly familiar, like something she had read about once, but that wasn't nearly as important as when one would lunge at her. No, that wasn't right--they all did! [i][color=ivory]Focus, will you?![/color][/i] Ultima groaned, though Nadeline seemed to beat her to the punch, a Protect swirling around her and parrying the spear's attack. As the spell would begin to crack, she took in a deep breath, trying to decide what to do next.

Letting the Protect fade, she decided to go on the offensive once more,a glyph appearing both underneath and above Zodiark. "[color=coral][b]Scourge![/b][/color]" She called as the spell around go off, effectively channeling itself between the two glyphs.

Emiri clucked her tongue, annoyed. He seemed content in keeping contact with her, though he did surprise her as he would catch her kick. His flames sent an alarm, though she couldn't help but chuckle. "[color=palevioletred]What makes you think [i]that[/i] would work?[/color]" She chastised him, though he ended up making her eat those words as he would slam her to the ground. It hurt a little more than she would have liked to admit, though his flames would catch her attention.

[i]As the pair would clash blades, Emiri noticed the crystals around them brightening somewhat. It was brief, but it almost looked like fire was dancing in them. Keiran noticed as well, gripping his sword, though he would lunge at her. Emiri sidestepped his swing, turning and deciding to knee him. As he fell, she kicked him away, holding out her left hand as Chaos' seal appeared. She recognized that fire anywhere--it must have been Jaakuna, though judging by the influence Belias seemed to be helping him out.

"[color=gray]I didn't think you had any fight left in you,[/color]" Keiran admitted as he would pick himself up, eyeing the flames around them. "[color=gray]Would you look at that...Darcone going straight to the root of the problem. And you look like you've picked up a little trick. What, does Chaos finally realize he's nothing without his vessel?[/color]"

Another sword formed, and Emiri would release them both, letting them float around her as she summoned another pair. "[color=pink]He did. Now that I'm not alone, I'll win, and make sure I regain control![/color]" She sent the two floating swords at him, physically attacking with the other two, leaving him to fend off four attacks at once.[/i]

Emiri froze in place, gripping her head. She let out a cry of pain, a darkness permeating from her. "[color=palevioletred]What...what's happening...?![/color]" She seemed confused, though as her eyes would flash, she seemed to lash out instead of yielding. Grabbing her sword, she swung at Jaakuna, though immediately afterwards, she fell to her knees, a hand to her head. "[color=palevioletred]H-How...?! How are you doing this?![/color]" She yelled, standing up and attacking Jaakuna in a frenzy.
