Ela stood shifting back and forth on her lead foot, the fact that he blocked that kick with that little reaction time in full armor made her realize just how dangerous he is. All of her caution turned into anger when he saw her stuff Curgau's incapacitated body inside of a wax figure dispenser, this guy must have been so confident that she couldn't be taken back if he put her in there. She held back the urge to just bolt straight for the machine to grab her when she heard a little voice inside her head; it wasn't Vetra this time...it seemed familiar somehow.[i] "If you can take care of /him/, I can rescue Curgau."[/i] Lumina chimed, directly to Elaine's mind.[i] "I'm speaking to you through Vetra. It seems as though Saki and Alex are fighting with another servant. Look at your- Oh... Hm. You fight him, I'll restore your HUD."[/i] Ela stood there wide eyed for a moment, she wasn't quite used to little voices talking in her head, but she did understand what the little voice was saying. [b][i]"Alright, I'll leave Curgau to you then.What's this guy's deal anyway, and what exactly do you mean by HUD-"[/b][/i]

Her mental conversation was cut short when she saw the 'apparently named' Oxus form the evil fairy into a lightning kite shield. [i][b]"Shit that's bad"[/b][/i] The lightning began arcing off the shield and onto his sword. [b][i]"Okay, now that's really bad."[/b][/i] She couldn't explain it, but she felt some immense wave of anxiety overtake her, something bad was about to happen. And then she saw what was the cause of that preemptive bad juju; turns out he can shoot lightning. Great. She panicked for a moment as she almost felt time move to a crawl, her eyes scanning around the entire area around her, there had to be someway she could avoid this, but it was freaking lightning. In her desperation, her eyes darted to the air duct overhead. Seeing no other way out, she jumped slightly, and felt the wind swiftly propel her upwards and into the duct avoiding the bolt as it shot past her feet; though she did slam into the vent fast enough to dislodge the cover entirely. Ignoring her [i]possible[/i] concussion she shot through the vents on her stomach, using the wind to move as quickly as she could. 

Within moments, she moved through the vent, loud clangs were audible throughout the entire building as she (rather ungracefully) made her way up and around, eventually shooting out of another vent behind and above Oxus, this time kicking the cover off and towards Oxus' head as she descended. She was starting to worry about whether she could beat this guy or not, after all, casting lightning bolts gave him a huge advantage, and really, she wasn't sure if her escaping damage was a fluke at all. Not wanting to risk getting close to that shield or the sword, she opted to keep her distance, picking up one of the velvet-metal rope holders near the Dark Nebula exhibit, she flung it right at the shield, and started backing off, not averting her eyes from him for a second. [b]"Sorry Oxus, but I don't really like giving my name to strangers. Especially not ones who throw lightning at me and try to mess with my best friend. Nothing personal, but it's personal."[/b]
