The Omni Knight's wandering eventually led her into the midst of the forest, and she could hear, rather than see, things colliding and clashing, a cacophony of roaring winds and splintering wood reaching her ears. Ariadelle followed the sounds that seemed closest to her -- the loud sounds of splintering wood and violent gales.
She saw, through a mess of fallen trees and snapped branches, a whirlwind, as dark as midnight, raging relentlessly. But was it contained in only one place?
As she stood, lost in thought, a rather large piece of falling wood streaked through the air towards Ariadelle; in mere seconds, the Ecliptian had stepped aside and drawn a quick eigna rune on the bark, causing it to burst into flames, and reduced it to ashes soon after.
She moved closer, stopping mere yards away from the pitch black tornado. Watching carefully, she spotted a robed figure with their arms raised, and someone sprouting from the ground beneath them, a makeshift weapon of sorts clenched in one hand.
It's Elieana, Ariadelle realized, crossing her arms in front of her chest. But who is that she's fighting? It seems almost like they're controlling shadow...

Raven was concentrating so much on the spinning vortex that she didn't even realize what was happening. The second her foot was grabbed the cyclone was then at the mercy of mother nature.
The purple mage didn't really have much time to react other than twist her body. The end of the spear struck her in the left shoulder and came out the other side. As Raven looked down to see blood cover her dark robes her eyes glazed over white.
Time seemed to slow down for her and thoughts processed with more clarity. With her good arm she lifted her hand. A shadow wrapped around the waist of her attacker. She realized that anything living was at the disposal of her foe so she had to eliminate this advantage. With a flick of her fingers she threw the female alchemist high into the air.
At this point the tornado had picked up many different things on its path of distruction: rocks, swords, and spears for example. Raven let go of her opponent as she just started to reach the arch of her throw. With her good hand she pointed it at the tornado. Several weapons and rocks stopped immediatly right where they were as the wind spun around them. With a quick jerk of her arm the objects came rocketing at the alchemist as she decended to the ground.
Ravens eyes returned to normal just as they rolled back into her head. The loss of blood was too much for her as she passed out hitting the ground with a thud.

With a fluid bound, Omega sprang forth in an arched-path towards the approaching spikes. She landed on one, then darted over to the next closest, using the flying, splintered trees as stepping stones towards her opponent. When she’d run out of her timber path, Omega slid freely at the cloud of shattered trees she’d hacked down herself…now reduced to kindling by the mage. On her way down, she once more yanked the whip from its own carefree world, slicing downwards a vertical division amidst the airborne wood and, further back, the very spot the robed kanji mage had stood at the time of the spikes’ launch…and further back yet such that the ground 6 feet behind him would feel the bite of the crimson streak.

“Hmm…”
This was all Blu could manage as, once more, his kanji attacks were foiled like he was a child. This couldn’t be the same Dota. Could she really have been toying with him so drastically up until now? Or had some other change have come over her?
Raising his katana horizontally before himself in an improvised defense against the red-hued whip biting at him, the mage saved himself a full hit, but the recoiling remainder of the tether’s length bit into him, hurling him through the air.
It was some distance away where he landed, and it was anything but a graceful land. Actually clearing the forest boundaries (and luckily avoiding any proximity to the nearby tornado), he collided with the ground in a violent cloud of dust, digging himself a rather sizable hole.
Pulling his head from its perfectly-molded placeholder in the earth, Blu brushed the dirt from his eyes and looked upward. To his surprise, he had landed inches from a very unexpected acquaintance.
“Long time no see, good-looking,” he said to the chestnut-haired beauty standing over him. “Though, I was hoping that the next time we met, you’d be the one on the ground.”

Elieana’s surprise attack had taken its toll, but before she could rub it accordingly in her opponent’s face, she found herself at the mercy of a last-ditch maneuver. Twirling through the air, she knew she was in a hopeless position.
Desperately, she called out to every tree in the forest. They bent and mutated in an effort to reach her and shield her, but it would not be quick enough. In her final attempt at deflecting the speeding barrage Raven had hurled at her, she held her weapon before her, and it burst into a massive shield.
Shhhrrrrkkkk! The first sword tore into her stomach. Next came a spear, followed by another, and a final sword. Most of the debris was deflected, but Raven had used enough force with these weapons to pierce even Elieana’s shield. The fatal blow had been struck.
Coughing blood, Elieana focused her mind. She knew her situation. She had only moments. Phylat vieda timpan boyta re’ecchal…. She finished just as her body thudded to the floor. The corpse moved no more, and within seconds, the grasses grew over it and pulled it into the ground, reclaiming the alchemist, her young body paying its debt to the plants that had provided so much to her.
. . . . . . . .
As Elieana awoke, she found herself in a very different location. She was sitting, cross-legged, and someone stood beside her. He was extremely muscular, and adorned with purple hair.
“Just who in Hell are you?” She did not realize just how appropriate her words were.

No matter how many times he comes back Hell is always the same. Dark erie walls with the damned chained to them and the eternal fires burning below them to torture them forever. This particular cave had an open spot which confused the Trunks until he heard the crack and tearing of the portal to the living open up beside him. The saiyan prince stood there with his arms crossed in his normal fashion when the newest arrival showed up. He had been keeping close watch on this particular battle so he knew all about what was going on.
"I was wondering how long it would take before one of you ended up down here. Listen! I don't know what cheap magic trick you think you pulled right before you died but if you try and cheat Hell they are probably going to be sending me after you and I don't really want to deal with that whole mess so I'm going to make you a deal. I'm assuming you know some kind of healing spells and a friend of mine is in a little bit of a situation. Heal him and I'll let you out of here no questions asked. I'll deal with Satan later."
Trunks just looked down impatiently at her waiting for a response.

The only thing she saw near the twister was the growth of plant life over a particular area. The Omni Knight did not need to take a look to know that Elieana had fallen, and that she had used her alchemy to let her body be claimed by the very things she had used for her arts.
She closed her eyes and murmured a prayer under her breath, a few tears slipping out from under her eyelids.
"Anjul, e vieda an linaturit il ze. Take care of her."
Moments passed, before the mage's voice made itself known to her; Ariadelle leapt up, surprised. Looking down, her eyes widened, and she instinctively knelt down to help him up.
"Are you alright? How hurt are you? Is anything broken? What's going on? How did you end up here? Who was Elieana fighting? What happened to her? Who are you fighting?"
She realized that she was firing off questions faster than the kanji mage could possibly answer, and so she stopped.
"...Forgive me, I went on rambling again..."

Omega landed upon the forest floor, watching the kanji mage get hurled from their private arena. Her attention span was a short one, and she declined to chase after him. Well…she might have pursued her prey, had it not been for the blood in the air. Obviously the land was thick with it at the moment, but this was a fresh, close and abundant source. More importantly, it was familiar.
A glance over her shoulder with keen eyes picked out the form of a bloodied saiyan…Ouji. Whether or not Omega had ever personally met Ouji, her data banks were not limited to herself. There was nothing the ice goddess could withhold from her hellish counterpart, a troublesome feature indeed. And if ever there arose a situation where Omega could destroy a fond memory of Dota’s, she took up the offer without hesitation. With a final check on the kanji mage, Omega shrugged and made for the saiyan.
The whip had retreated by the time Omega had reached the pinned saiyan, the energy extinguished in her palm. She caught a few stray drops of blood on her index finger, then sucked it clean, pausing a moment as if evaluating it.
It certainly wasn’t as entertaining as playing with the mage, unless the saiyan would find some life-reserve left in him.

Accepting the helping hand, Blu regained his footing, and did the best he could to brush the dirt off of himself. This robe would not be clean again. Of course, even if it could be cleaned, there was the issue of his matching cloth pants missing the entire right leg from the knee down. The winged one’s whip had seared through it like it was, well, cloth. Judging by the charred scar across his knee, Blu was aware that his leg had almost fared just as poorly.
Turning to respond to Ariadelle’s questions, Blu’s eyes closed in a sheepish smile. “Eh? No, nothing broken yet. And I don’t know—“ The kanji mage cursed loudly as his eyes reacquired Dota, and noticed her standing over Ouji. “Oh, you’d better not even think about it woman,” he muttered to himself.
Returning his focus to Ariadelle, he took her hand. “Would you mind? I need a little help.”
Without waiting for an answer, he twirled her around once, her feet off the ground, and hurled her high into the air, on a direct arc for the ice goddess, who was considerately facing away from them. He was going to catch an earful for this later…
Once again activating the kanji on his footwear, Blu flashed into another instant-movement run, and arrived at Dota’s location exactly as Ariadelle was coming down from the top, hopefully with an attack of her own. The only thing on his mind being the protection of his friend, Blu struck with a fierce swing of his katana, ready to continue the attack with a combo of swipes if he had the chance.

Ariadelle was about to answer the kanji mage's question when she was tossed, rather abruptly, straight towards a winged woman whom seemed to be menacing someone else, who the Ecliptian did not know.
Doing what came to mind first, the Omni Knight drew her blade, targeting the woman's shoulder as she soared towards her.
Providing that she survived both the fall and her target's counterattack (if there was one planned), she would make sure that Blu received answers first before launching her into battles from now on.
