As Rua descended, his eyes noticed the various cracks along the edges of the roof, making a rough circle around the edge of the rooftop battlefield. Prismatic light shone around his form, and particles of blue light gathered to his body, solidifying into armor. Panels of armor materialized down his arms and legs, one at a time, at a rapid pace, as if they were pistons slamming down the length of each limb. The armor around his torso materialized as his body spun once in the air, and the helmet was the last to show, fitting snugly over his head. With the Dragon King Armor now around his form, he was ready for action.
He landed on his feet, spreading them out into a combat stance and skidding forward, grinding dust from the rooftop as he did. He came to a stop and looked up at his opponents, grinning. "Heh," he chuckled, "Now we'll settle it."
Alasea and Ryo arrived behind him at the rope at the same time. He quickly shot off a PM to both of them. including a rough map of the wall, fracture and all, to Ryo's Inbox.
Grab the rope and use it to swing right through the fracture point I made in the wall down there. You should go right through it; Ryo's armor should help. I'll hold these guys off and join you in a moment. Go!
Rua Dragonheart
Alasea quickly scanned through the PM and nodded to Ryo, grabbing the end of the rope. "Let's go," she said, casting one look at Rua's back. The green-eyed warrior grinned at the three enemies in front of him. Challenging them, so to speak.

It took Ryo a moment to tear his look of hatred from Hybrid,but in the end he took hold of the rope after sticking his armour back on."Oh Rua,careful around that dragon. There is something..demonic about it. Maybe i'm just being paranoid...oh well, whenever your ready Alasea."

"Y'know, Rua," Scept said, standing up and ignoring the receding pain in his shoulder, "you've just screwed yourself. We've got you outnumbered, in both skill and numbers." The time field hardened suddenly, leaving Cizos, Scept, Hybrid, and Rua all in the same field. Time slowed to a crawl as Scept regained his confidence,"Nail him, Cizos."

A glass shattering roar rumbled up from the dragons open, and snarling jaws. It lept up into the air at the man, kicking off the ground with all four of its legs, and almost flew towards the man again. He put his forelegs out front, claws spread, and grinned with those razor sharp teeth of his again, watching the man as well as the time wall behind him. As he neared the man, he took a bite towards his face, and swipes towards the mans chest with both claws.

Alasea nodded to Ryo and held onto the rope tight. Together, the two of them ran and leaped off of the rooftop. The rope grew taut as they began their descent, and quickly swung right towards the damaged wall, with Ryo, armor and all, acting as a buffer between Alasea and the wall. There was a loud crash as they broke through, flinging rubble about into an interior of eerie light and soft-colored blue stone.
"We'll just see about that," retorted the green-eyed warrior, grabbing a hold of the fake Chaos Emerald. "Chaos Control!"
Rua unleashed the powers of Chaos Control to normalize the flow of time around him, making it easier for him to move. He saw the dragon--Cizos, Scept had called him?--charge in to attack, and he leaped into the air, using the boot thrusters of his armor to propel himself further into the air. As he skimmed above the dragon, he thrust his arm out, activating its arm cannon. Three pistons slammed down, one after the other, firing three projectiles. The shots went wide and struck the edges of the rooftop. It looked random, but Rua had deliberately aimed away from his opponents.
He landed solidly on the ground behind the dragon, pivoting around to face the next challenger, swinging his other arm out to the side and activating its own arm cannon.

Brien watched as the now armored Rua jumped on up to their level, launching off a couple of stray shots. Normally Brien wouldn't be too intimidated, but at the moment he was standing next to his suit, and outside of it. He was expecting them all to have a minute or two between the previous skirmish, but at the moment his very human skin showing. Swifly stepping into his suit backwards, the thing whirred back into motion. The chest piece and back armor of the suit both flapped up over his body, and he simultaneously stuck his arms into those of the suit. Within a second or two he was once again suited and ready to continue the fight. Hybrid was having doubts as to what was going on, or if they had a chance or not against the dude- but they still had 'em outnumbered four ... three ... to one.
The moment the suit was functional he aimed his chaingun at Rua, and fired off a steady stream of rifle-sized rounds, curious as to what would happen.

Rua darted to the side, skating on the rocket thrusters in his boots. Bullets glanced off of his armor as Hybrid fired at him, leaving grooves in the translucent plate mail. His arm cannon shot out, firing another burst of shots; all of them went wide again, striking the edge of the rooftop. He skid to a stop and jumped, flipping end over end as he went backwards away from Hybrid.

"Stop running around and face us already!" Scept barked at Rua. Although is time field seemed to be having little effects to slow Rua down, he could certainly speed himself up. With incredibly swift movements, Scept moved his body into the path of Rua, igniting his fist with electricity and sending a quite powerful punch at his foe.

The moment they crashed through the wall Ryo lost hold of the rope,but it didn't stop at that. He lost his balance as well,and slammed into the ground...with his head. He sat up and rubbed the back of his head in a slight daze asking."Anybody catch the number of that bus?"

Quick reflexes saved Rua from a brutal punch as he landed, and he leaned out of the way of Scept's attack. He could feel the heat radiating from the electricity, and grunted. Hopping backwards, Rua launched himself into the air again this time aiming both arm cannons and firing more earth-energy projectiles from his fist. Like the others, they flew wide, into the edges. Landing once more, he back-flipped again, landing at the edge of the Temple rooftop. Now... he was cornered, he realized, looking back slightly. Gritting his teeth, he prepared himself for his enemies' rage.
Within the Temple, Alasea groaned and sat up, pushing rubble off of her and shaking dust out of her hair. "You okay?" she asked Ryo as she stood up, walking over to him. She readied her Healing Palm technique and held her hands over the paladin's wounds. "Let's get you healed."

"C'mon!" Scept bellowed, charging Rua once more, this time as he neared he shrunk the hardened wall to be right at Rua's back, and folded the edges to make a small cavity in the dome where Rua was. He had him now. Scept surged electricity through his body, speeding up his mental and physical speed. With speed empowered by the lightning and the time field, Scept struck faster than the naked eye could follow, placing his hits in the order of hips, ribs, knees, head, chest, and the groin. With the tiny cavity with no way up, down, left, or right, and the blinding speed in which he was attacking, this would be nearly impossible to dodge.

"Thank you.."He glanced around the room once or twice,and rubbed his eyes in a bit of confusion. Then it finally struck him,he had been here once or twice before."Argh,damn my memory!"He smacked his forehead with his palm as he shouted.

Rua's eyes widened as Scept rushed in at unbelievable speeds, and braced himself. The blows were intense; to be expected of a Beta Tester, but each strike left stains of blood. He grunted with each strike, lightning coursing through him, until Scept's fist came around to strike him in the head. Godhand exploded around his hands, and his left hand shot up and caught Scept's right fist. He glared coldly at him, his eyes flashing yellow for a brief moment. He shoved the time-wielder away, and Chaos Control flashed around him. He shot past Scept, time slowed down around the two of them, and suddenly blasted across to the other side of Scept. Spinning twice, Rua's armored foot lashed out at Scept's midsection in a brutal spinning roundhouse kick.

Just above him, DreamSword saw his two friends slam through a temple wall. Luckily for him, he was still invisible, although it wouldn't be for long, perhaps only a minute. Taking a quick glance around, DS saw that the temple hadn't changed much. Same walls with the green and white reflections on them, and the floor was... damp... f**k.
Thankfully not too much that it'd make a giant splash with each step or something like that. So the best course of action? Jump. Dream croutched down a little and then did a High Jump across the room, landing just before a small hallway that he didn't recognize before, seemed to lead deeper down. So, the swordsman started creeping down.

The boot connected with Scept and any air that was left in his body was instantly knocked out of him. Bleeding already from his knuckles, Scept flew straight into time field, barely softening the blow with his remaining energy, he slumped to the ground, trying to regain lost breath and energy.
