"Hey, don't say that, I'm sure it's all gonna be daijoubu Raiya." Nemo replied with a more softer voice to try to comfort her. "You tried something new, having to work out all the kinks is to be expected. I've made my own share of mistakes in that regard as well. I remember the first time I tested out this new explosion spell out in the field it didn't go so well. Had a bit more power than I thought, wiped out the entire fifth floor of the apartment I was in. I got blown through a glass window myself, would have probably broke every bone in my body when I hit the floor if I didn't crash through a cloth awning first." Nemo remembered.

"D-do you think there would be any ways for you to recharge your mana? You're like an electrical mage right? Couldn't you like find a power outlet or something for that?" Nemo said, his tone left whether he was joking ambiguous.

Roy brought himself to his knees, noticing Travis' runes. He let out a sigh, but it turned into a chuckle towards the end. "It's possible I have, what's it to ya lad?" Roy asked, not making any sudden movements. It's likely for a smuggler like him, putting his life on the line for his crew wasn't something he really wanted to do. But in the same regard if they kept him alive, Roy backstabbing them later with one of his knives was equally possible.

Nemo continued walking through the ship's interior. "Yeah I'm getting ideas alright, the first one is to drop you." Nemo retorted jokingly. Nemo seemed hesitant to continue, but eventually spoke again. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news and whatnot, but this mission has really only just kicked off. It's going to be pretty hard to fight off the rest of the heavy hitters on this ship if I'm just limited to... kicking. I don't think the Master Blaster technique we got going here is gonna work out." Nemo explained.

Roy's reckless run through his own smokescreen was probably a mistake, and he wasn't prepared enough for what was coming for him. He didn't think to look up to the moon, so once he noticed Zoey's attack it was already too late. He tried to dodge and used his arms to shield himself, attempting to generate some sort of barrier, but with the time he had to do so it was easily shattered.

Roy was hit three times in the arms, and once in the leg before he tripped and fell to the ground, sliding to a stop. Christ that stings! He thought as he laid vulnerable on the floor. Roy dug his hand into his jacket, and pulled out the same anti-magic powder he used early and tried to quickly apply it to his wounds in an attempt to sooth the burning sensation. To a degree it worked, but it didn't bring him back up to full speed.

Roy started to get up, but his damaged arms made it take longer than usual, leaving him open to attack. He kept one hand grasping a knife in case somebody came close to attack.

---

"Just have to take care of some things first." Nemo replied and turned around. He walked over to his chair and retrieved Raiya's jacket and hoodie. He collapsed the chair and returned it to his inventory, and slung her clothes over his shoulder. Nemo turned to the shield generator next. He whispered a spell into his hand, by the time it was done he was now grasping a black ball with a white X printed on it in his hand.

Nemo crouched down and rolled it across the room to the generator. The sound it made indicated it was solid, like a billiards ball, despite being generated from magic. It rolled to a stop in front of the generator, and began to glow bright white at it's core. The ball let out a faint fizzing sound before it detonated into a bright white explosion. The generator was completely destroyed.

"Alright, let's get out of here." Nemo stated before walking back over to Raiya. He crouched down and gently picked her up. Nemo supported her with one arm under her back and the other hooked under her knees. Nemo began walking out of the room and plotted his way back out of the ship. While carrying Raiya didn't seem to put any strain on him, Nemo was ever so slightly blushing, easily noticeable on his white skin. Being in such a close proximity to somebody else was clearly a foreign act to somebody like him.

Nemo gently placed his palm over her wound. He used a basic spell at first to map out the damage that was done inside before going to work with his mana-thread technique. Slowly but surely feint blue glowing threads started to generate and close up her wound. But this wasn't limited to just the surface, more generated inside and went to work repairing her lung and bone. The process wasn't painful, in fact, it was somewhat pleasant. A slightly warm tingling sensation could be felt as Nemo's mana-threads repaired flesh. The only painful thing was when the rib moved back into place, but the pain pain was dulled down to be more of a discomfort.

Soon enough the process was finished, and Nemo lifted his hand away to reveal that both his threads and her wound were gone. The magic within his threads made it much more advanced than stitches, once they faded away not even a scar was left in it's place. "Better?" Nemo asked. "The area might feel a bit sore still, but besides that it should be good as new."

Caspian was the first person to move, rushing towards Nemo. His cutlass lit up orange before reaching his opponent, as he swung at Nemo a trail of burning hot energy followed it. Nemo bent backwards to duck under the swing before spinning around and wacking Caspian with his unsheathed sword over the shoulder.

One

Caspian thrust his sword towards Nemo's stomach, but in response Nemo used his own to block and push down the cutlass' tip to the floor. He slid the saya back up the blunt side of Caspian's sword and hit him square in the face with it.

Two

Caspian yelped and stepped back, using his free hand to clutch his nose as a trickle of blood began to pour out. At this point he was starting to get angry with Nemo's conduct. The fact he hadn't even unsheathed his sword yet made him feel insulted. Caspian's cutlass lit up blue and he furiously swung three times at a distance towards Nemo. Three razor sharp crescent shaped energy waves were propelled towards him.

In response Nemo shot out his own X shaped blast from his hand, cutting through all three crescents and continuing on towards Caspian.

Three

Caspian dodged out of the way of the blast, but it continued on to hit the shield generator instead. The glow around the machine faltered, and the outer hull of it was damaged. Up above the shield around the captain's quarters began to weaken. Caspian let out a snarl at his failure to protect the generator. However at least it wasn't totaled yet.

This time Nemo moved in on Caspian. He swung his sheathed sword horizontally towards him. Caspian parried the attack with his cutlass.

Four

Caspian took the opportunity to try to damage Nemo by punching him in the stomach with an magically enhanced attack. In connected, but Nemo didn't seem be effected by it, absorbing the force like a punching bag. In return Nemo used his own enhanced punch on Caspian while he was still trying to decipher why his attack didn't work. It connected to his ribs, no doubt breaking a few in repayment.

Five

Caspian howled in pain, but it sounded more like a wheeze as he kicked Nemo away from him. He took a few moments to recover and moved back. "You know what... I'm starting to regret removing that water now." He commented in between breaths, letting out a small laugh at the end.

He suddenly pulled his flintlock back out and fired, launching a large blast of blue energy from the barrel at Nemo. The surprise didn't work, and Nemo used his warp to faze a couple feet off to the side. The attack continued on and collided with the metal wall, exploding and creating a large hole of mangled metal.

Six

Nemo placed his other hand on the hilt of his katana now, assuming a 'ready to draw' position. Caspian sighed and put his flintlock back. He flourished his cutlass a couple times before rushing towards Nemo. Nemo sped off as well, closely analyzing Caspian's movement. Once the two fighters met, Caspian raised his sword up and swung it down towards Nemo at an angle. At the last second Nemo used his warp to place himself off to the side and drew his own sword and struck in one fluid motion before they passed each other.

Seven

The warp had faked Caspian out, and his swing had completely missed. However the giant gash on Caspian's side signified that Nemo didn't. Blood sprayed out from it like a he had sprung a leak, and the rush of pain made it too hard for Caspian to even think of a next move.

Nemo turned his sword around and held it so it was pointing behind him. He then used the same spell from before to quickly slide himself across the floor backwards, driving the sword straight through Caspian's back and out from his chest in the front.

Eight

Caspian let out a small gurgle before blood started to spill from his mouth. His grip on the cutlass slowly loosened until he dropped it on the floor with a metal clang. Nemo withdrew his sword from Caspian's body and let him lifelessly drop to the floor. The sword seemed to absorb his blood just like before until it was clean as a whistle. Nemo then sheathed it and returned it to his inventory.

With that over, Nemo walked over to Raiya in the corner of the room. He crouched down, looking at her wound. "Let me see it." He said.

Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

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. 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. Before he could continue theory crafting, a more pressing issue seemed to arise...

Caspian rushed towards Raiya as she tried to cover. Not looking down on me anymore are ya? He thought as he pulled his cutlass up high, ready to finish her off. "At least you'll die by the sword." 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.

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

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. "Didn't anyone ever teach you to mind your own fuckin' business 'bino boy?" He stated angrily, dusting his jacket off.

"I apologize for my intrusion. But, with this matter, I simply must insist." 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. "Eight moves." He stated, causing a confused reaction from Caspian. "What?" He asked.

"This battle will have eight moves before I kill you. So unless you can kill me before then, prepare to die." 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.

Caspian seemed less upset about his blade once he saw that Raiya had been injured. Her return fire brought his attention back to the fight. Caspian held out his hands to the side and fired off two blasts collide and stop the blasts arcing at him. However this action left him wide open to her slash. Caspian tried to move back, but found it wasn't enough when the blade cut through his clothes and seared a cut across his stomach.

It wasn't deep, but it was a wound all the same. Caspian felt pain not just from being cut, but from the sensation of being burned as well. While still feeling the sting, he followed up by stepping back in and swinging at her with his cutlass towards her left shoulder and down. But he figured that it would likely end up getting blocked, so he sent a powerful kick towards her as well, aimed right at her fresh wound by her ribs.

---

Nemo seemed to be a lot less entertained once he saw Raiya hurt. His expression turned emotionless and blank now as he watched from his chair with his head propped up by resting it on his palm.

Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

Caspian tried to assess the situation as fast as possible. By the looks of her new weapon, he felt that it would really sting to have it connect. He knew that he wouldn't be able to block it with his normal blade, and it was already too late to try to generate anything clever. Thinking fast, Caspian channeled more energy into his blade before blocking.

Luckily, Caspian's blade was enchanted. However during the block the aura of the blade began to falter, and soon enough small sparks began to fly up as the edge started to get damaged. He let out a growl and pushed back as hard as he could to break away from her. Caspian inspected the edge of his cutlass and was horrified to see a small chip in it now, something he previously thought impossible. He eyed Raiya with a scowl. "I guess I was wrong in assuming that someone with a samurai sword would fight with the same honor of one." He spat out.

"I'm sure it'll buff right out?" Nemo heckled from his seat.

He found that channeling more energy into the blade was harder now, as if the sword's enchantment had been disrupted. The effect seemed to lessen over time, but it took using any significant spells through his sword off the menu for this fight "I suppose the at fault is me. In the end what good does fighting clean get you? If it's life and death on the line the only thing that really matters is winning." Caspian said before holstering his flintlock and rushing in towards Raiya.

Caspian charged his sword with a small spell and swung at Raiya with one hand. Should the cutlass connect with her plasma blade the charge would immediately disperse from the interference into thick vapor. Caspian intentionally devised this to blind her for enough time to follow up with a small knife he was carrying in his free hand. Should his trick pay off, he'd try to stab her with his knife hooking from the left towards Raiya's right ribs.

---

"That's jus' how I say hello." Roy replied to Travis. He used a knife to deflect Zoey's slug with an impressive display of reaction speed. It let out a piercing pang when the side of the blade came into contact with the metal payload. Afterwards he slung the damaged knife towards Zoey as repayment. The knife curved towards her from the left, aimed at her chest.

Figuring Zoey would be busy with the knife, Roy pulled another grenade from his belt and tossed it towards the group. This one with a three second timer and filled with a disorienting purple gas, capable of impairing vision to the people caught inside and induce coughing.

Paragon's End [Modern/Fantasy/Anime/Adventure]

"The work I do requires me to be flexible in my capabilities." Caspian replied. He was puzzled by what she drew next, it's lack of any blade confused him. But he knew well enough that it wasn't a joke. Caspian put his glowing sword up and flourished it himself twice before underhandedly scraping the blade onto the ground, kicking up sparks. The magic seemed to enhance the action, emitting much more sparks than usual. He then fired his flintlock into the cloud at Raiya, igniting them further and generating a cannonball sized purple ball of fire and energy. Besides being incredibly hot, the spell would conclusively explode the first thing it hit.
