Solya looked up from her panting and catching her breath, at the fairy accusing her, the partner standing behind. She leaned her head back slightly, to see her better, and then smiled warmly at the fairy. "Aww, you're a precious little one, aren't you? And so feisty." She giggled softly, a strange giggle that seemed oddly familiar to the fairy, before she stood slowly and cupped Zara tenderly in her hand. "A rare fairy like you would be a prime target for capture, don't you think? Now, back into hiding, sweet Zara." With that, she pulled Ayame's shirt gently and tipped the palm of the hand holding Zara to try and slide the fairy in.

"..." Oxus turns his eyes about the room. She went into the ventilation? Then there were only certain places she could come out. It was convenient for the girl that her power was wind... Though she didn't appear to have mastered it yet, either. He hears the vent get shot off clearly enough, and he cleaves spins to face the known location, cleaving the projectile in two with his sword. It splits around him and he turns to face the girl again, only to see her throw something else at him. He cuts this in two, as well, but didn't compensate for the heavier base, which continues on it's course. It knocks him back, onto a knee, and he ends up using his sword arm to keep himself from falling over.

"Heh... Tricks only work once." He growls and picks up his sword again, standing and lifting it once more. The lightning transfers again, and he throws another bolt at his opponent.

Dammit! That woman escaped with her hostages. Now how was she supposed to make this stupid girl give up? Oh well. Nothing to be done about it now.

The girl in front of her spread her flames about the room, lighting it. "Oooh...?" The woman looks around at the lit exhibition hall, and then back to Alex. Someone was getting cocky. She smirked, raising an eyebrow as Alex through a fireball at her. She cut through the attack easily, with a little bit of darkness shielding the edge of her hand. She reached out her hand and a shadow shoots out, reaching for Alex's wrist. It would pull Alex with great forced, trying to make her stumble so the opponent could rush in and deliver a small energy blast to the chest.
