In reply to: Tayliana Harusaki 's message, "-What? No sisters? (Amanda: (Looking up, mouthing) Thank you.)" on 13:02:31 03/12/03 Wed

Iggy was suprized that Tay hadn't done this sooner. With the guardians effectively kept in a stasis lock, he didn't have to worry about Wyvern being hurt by the blast. He only had to worry about getting hit himself. That wouldn't be easy. Gallac Gun, now matter what pretense of form, is a powerful attack. But he still had Astrophel. That shield would only take so much power, however, before it disintegrated. His only hope would be to deflect the blast back. Or...

Ex Libris Arcanium floated in front of him, quickly turned to the right page and hled there.

"NULL!" The attack simply dissapated in front of him, inches away from the book and his face. His breathing became labored. he slumped slightly after the spell had been cast. Tay was wearing him out. Good, he thought, that's what I want. A workout. I need this. I have to get stronger,or else I'll lose. And some of these spells I should know by heart. It's good practice for...

"PASSION GALLIC GUN!"

She had seen! She knew he was getting tired. Many of the spells were relatively new to him. Not that he didn't know of them, he simply never used them in his tactics. He never believed in many of the frontal attacks he had used on his sparring parners. Those were simply to strengthen his magical prowess and Spirit energy. No, he prefered the way of the Shinobi-no-Mono. Silence, stealth, treachery; using such attachs as he did on Tay was a last resort. He had no time to think of a counterspell. He had to get out of the way of the blast. NOW.

"MARATHON!" Iggy dashed away from the blast radius as his feet began to glow with a remarkable red light. He quickly jumped and hovered to the invisible platform where Tayliana stood and delivered as many lightning quick thrusts with the Cosmic Glaive as possible. She was suprised that Daniel, an admitedly bad melee fighter, was able to get in so many hits on her (i.e., any.)as she parried and blocked with her Sidhe Javelin. She stabbed at his already wounded left arm, grazing over the wound once more, worsening it. She was then knocked off of her pedestal by a barrage of fireballs. When she landed, hard on her rear, she heard him say something in Finnish, and looked down to see her legs covered with a thick sheet od ice that kept her bound to the floor. Iggy jumped down seconds later, and leaned against his frozen dragon, breathing in ragged gasps.

That was his plan! The realization had finally come to Tay, his melee attacks were sped up by the Marathon spell. the little slashes he made combined didn't do much damage, but they were enough to keep her occupied to charge up a fireball spell and keep her out of the way so he could cathc his breath. The lst few spells he used must have taken it's toll on Iggy, and he needed to recouperate. She reached for her javelin, but found that in the fall it had been knock out of her reach. She looked to Iggy and saw him pull out a glass beaker with a blue liquid in it. He pulled the cork out of the opening and downed the substance in one swig.

"Y'know, I didn't think that fighting with you would be this much... fun... Oh, I wish I could be at full power, now. Then I wouldn't have to take a break."

"What's stopping you?" asked Tay.

"Magic is powered by the spirit, as ki projectiles are powered by life energy. If one's spirit isn't all there..."

She pieced it together. The Dark Enigma had a piece of his soul, his spirit, and Iggy had a piece of Marius's. As long as thier souls weren't complete, they couldn't use the full extent of thier power. Then Iggy brought all of those potions and runes in case he ran out of Spirit energy to consume. Is that were Iggy had always come short in previous battles? He was at a disadavntage, and knew it. He was using Tay to come up with a new stragegy in case situaltions such as this came up when it really counted. Similar thoughts ran through the minds of VJ and Amanda. One question in particular plagued them all: Was Amanda being used by Mars for a similar purpose, as well as his so-called "preparation?"

Iggy, who had regained some of his Spirit and breath, looked into Tay's eyes. The answer was "YES." He walked over to the javelin, picked it up and brought it to her. She used it to cut the ice that held her to the ring. Iggy help her stand, then took his position several feet away from her.

"I know you may not like being used like this, but I know who the enemy is now. He's stronger than me. Stronger than you. Marginally stronger than even Vegita! MARGINALLY... That kind of power can't be toyed with and he's after something in the Dream Time that could endanger us all. Moreover, I want to settle things with my brother. I can't just leave him so far from redemption. He's family. I acn't stop either of them if I'm weak like I am, Harusaki-san." He hefted his staff-turned-spear in his arms and stood in a fighting pose again. "No holding back. You promised me. You ready?

Then let's continue."

      - That's the million-dollar question at the moment. Where is Iggy-kun? I haven't seen evidence of him online since... Saturday, I think. Or was it Sunday...? Anyway, it's been a while. -- Star S., 20:45:08 03/25/03 Tue
        :~(It was Sunday. I wasn't too mean about what I said about his lemon, was I? I expected better out of him not... pity sex. -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:57:20 03/25/03 Tue
        B-)*twitches at the mispellings in the post, but manages to ignore them* Ahem. No, I don't think you were too mean on the lemon, but you were a bit harsh... He tried, he really did. Perhaps he was to embarrassed to write a lemon involving the two of you, and that's why he chose another pairing. Did you think of that...? (NT) -- Star S., 21:25:35 03/25/03 Tue
        ?(Beat.) You mean, you read the damn thing? (NT) -- Iggy!, 16:23:24 03/26/03 Wed

    - I'm BACK! Damn, I hate golf. (reads previous posts) Yeah, I thought you wouldn't like it. I tend to over-think the simplest things, even sex. (reads Tay's last addition) She quit? Aww... -- Iggy HATES golf!, 15:50:02 03/26/03 Wed
      - Tay, I'll handle this part. Iggy, I didn't think it was bad, or anything. Let me put this in the bluntest way possible. Physically, it got a reaction. Emotionally... Well... it left me wanting. It was good for a first lemon, though. I just expected more than pity sex. -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:25:04 03/27/03 Thu
        Liam? Whadda ya say? LIAM: Um... Okay, I guess... I'd rather not kill anyone, 'though. -- Iggy!, et. al., 15:02:34 03/29/03 Sat
