There was no getting out of this one, at least that what he was thinking. The battle was effectively finished in his mind. All he had to do was command his Iron Maiden to attack Luca and it was over. He glanced down at Nirubi, the girl that had hadn't even put up a fight. Malux thought she would be a pushover and easily beaten since she was just a small weak girl.<br/><br/>He brushed his hand through his blonde hair and adjusted his mask. For a few more moments, he took in the sight of Luca, trapped in his net. Luca Saylor. He seemed like he'd be confident in his powers and be a tough one to handle, but here he was: as weak as the girl below. Malux casted his hand forward, pointing at Luca,<strong>"Go, my Iron Maiden! Attack Luca and end his miserable life!"</strong>Although he said that, nothing happened. Iron Maiden was still and did not move to attack. Frustrated, Malux yelled,<strong>"Iron Maiden! Do as you're told and attack Luca!"</strong>Yet she did not move.<br/><br/>Malux was about to do it himself, but that would be admitting his defeat to Iron Maiden. He would not have it, shouting once more,<strong>"Iron Maiden! GO!"</strong>Finally, Iron Maiden turned her seemingly lifeless head towards Malux, staring at him before facing towards Luca's direction. She launched forward and aimed her claws, but not at Luca, but at part of the net and freed him. This perplexed Malux to no end,<strong>"Hmm, it seems you still can defy me. No matter, I've caught him once, I can catch him again." </strong>In his dialogue, he let out some information. Perhaps Iron Maiden was not a just a simple puppet being controlled by Malux, otherwise she would've killed Luca after Malux commanded it. Maybe somewhere in the lifeless shell, there was life?<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/bp7Ffmq.jpg)<br/></div><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Tsukan</span></strong><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Magnolia Town Park<br/><strong>With:</strong>Mashyuu<br/><br/>Tsukan's thoughts were away, thinking about Sharina and wondering if she disposed of that pesky mage already. He had not better try to get between him and his mistress or else he'd beat him after he was done with this guy. Suddenly, a hammer hit his face and both pleasure and pain coursed through his body, making his spine shiver. Although Sharina's pain was much better, this pain wasn't too bad either. Then earth spikes come up from the ground behind him, forcing Tsukan to remain in that spot.  Dust surrounded Tsukan and he began to wonder what Mashyuu was up to.<br/><br/>Then he heard him yell something about being the greatest mage before Tsukan was surrounded by earthen pillars which formed a cage around him and eventually his view of Mashyuu was cut. The cage started to sink down in the ground and Tsukan brought his hand to his chin,<strong>"Well, I'm in a pickle, aren't I? No problem! My love for Sharina will power me through~!"</strong>The hammer Tsukan took to the face made him bigger and stronger. Eventually the cage made it all the way to the ground and everything became silent.<br/><br/>A mere few seconds passed before the ground below exploded, dust and dirt covering the entire area. Tsukan appeared much larger than before and struggled to reach his shoulders as he brushed the dirt off of them. Tsukan giggled and looked at Mashyuu,<strong>"That almost worked! And what you said earlier about being the strongest mage, the man fighting my mistress said the same thing about himself. Are you lying?"</strong>His question seemed childish since it was out of place and full of nonchalance like his attack hadn't even worried him.<br/><br/>Tsukan wagged his finger,<strong>"If all you can do are physical attacks, you've pretty much lost but feel free to keep trying, I like the pain you cause~."</strong>He began to move forward, slowly as his now giant muscles impeded a lot of his movement. Like a guillotine, he raised his hand up as he stood before Mashyuu. Grinning, it came down with great speed, combining the heavy weight of his hand and the force of gravity.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i41.tinypic.com/1x1l3.jpg)<br/></div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Lyuk Drachenfeuer</span></span><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Magnolia Town central square<br/><strong>With:</strong>Sharina<br/><hr/><br/>Lyuk blushed a little when he realized that he did in fact introduce himself when they first met.<strong>"Arrrrrgh! Never mind that, you, come at me!"</strong>He shook his head and forgot about his own stupidity as he prepared himself for Sharina's assault. Her icicles came forward, aimed at his vitals: his head and chest. The icicle that was aimed at his chest was shifted to his right which meant that he could only safely dodge left, Lyuk anticipated this and prepared for another of Sharina's shrewd attacks. Predictably, he dodged to the left and he saw Sharina thrusting her rapier towards him. Lyuk was prepared for this, having his arm in a lowered guard position. His arm caught fire and moved up to the center of her blade melting it. This was something he came up on the spot, seeing that her ice wasn't anything combined with anything special that made it not melt under hot flames.<br/><br/>Sharina made a slight mistake in her choice of attack and now she was in Lyuk's true territory: close-quarters. His other arm came around engulfed in flames as well, as it went to connect with the side of her stomach. Sharina was fast and while he could match her speed, it was much better for him to try to slow her down than to match her speed. Lyuk wasn't too accustomed to his new-found speed with his lightning magic so he did not want to use it if he could help it in a serious fight. How would Sharina cope with this sudden counterattack created by Lyuk's innate instincts and bestial reflexes?
