As they were attacked all at the same time, the Shadow Replicas were thrown back...however, they didn't seem to be defeated that easily. Basically, Shadow Replicas were just made out of shadows and the negative thoughts of the dead, they don't have a physical form, which is why some methods of attack did not affect them at all. With mostly hostile thoughts, the Shadow Replicas went to strike again, this time their limbs morphing into spikes to deal damage. Amidst all of the fighting, some of the Shadow Replicas had notices that one of them, Hibiki, did not do anything to harm them. Taking this opportunity well, those Shadow Replicas went after him, about to lunge at him... [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jjKLx9A14s]BGM - A Stranger I Remain[/url] In a flash, a pink energy blade was sent into the nearest Shadow Replica that would attack Hibiki, it's pure energy completely destroying that Shadow Replica, it's dark essence fading away into nothing. "Hope I'm not too late...damn Shadow Replicas just have to be here too.." Kaika says as she gets out of her hiding place, having to be hiding ever since she felt the energy of Shadow Replicas near this area. Which was pretty much the reason she was following them. "Since when do we ever get a break?" Battler sighed, following Kaika during this. He wondered how much other chaotic things were going on right now... Thinking he had to help, Battler had his broadsword made out of the energy of the Golden Truth with him. "Who cares? We've got some cleaning up to do!" Kaika says with a grin, leaping and summoning herself two energy blades with pink energy to wield. With her eyes glowing radiant magenta, she handled any of the Shadow Replica that got close to her, easily tearing through all of the shadowy beasts with her pure energy. --- After awhile, Erika noticed that Dlanor had returned from her "search." "So...how did it go? Find anything interesting?" Erika asked with a curious tone. She was just itching to get herself involved with anything interesting. "Nothing that would be of your INTERESTS. Though, I will note that I fought a man that radiated a strange power, but I managed to strike him DOWN," Dlanor explained, mentioning her fight against Hazama. "Well...usually you never lose a fight...excluding the one you had with the Endless Sorcerer. Maybe I'll try my hand against that opponent you faced, I'm not just some detective, you know?" Erika giggled at the end of her sentence.
