And he couldn't hold back anymore.
With the crushing power of the sand on him, he lost all control of the power in his arm. A phantom, giant hand appeared, and as he slammed his palm outward, the phantom hand did the same, slamming into Gaara, attempting to disrupt his control and allowing Nero to breathe again.

Sand pulled away from Nero and swung up in front of Gaara, protecting him from the giant phantom blow. His eyes didn't even flicker. With one small movement of his wrist, the sand opened up slightly to show Gaara's staring face. "Don't you get it?" He asked in almost bored tones "This is the ultimate defense. The sand protects me." He meant that literally, he never willed the sand to protect him... It just did.
A young Gaara held a knife, plunging it down "I want to feel pain..." He whispered, but the sand moved up and blocked his own strike.

My eyes widen as I take in the VERY disorganized fight, "Okay, one question... WHO THE HELL IS OUR ENEMY?!" What happened to straight forward good and evil, jeez, grey lines are not good thought making!

Hei Nerr laughed at the ongoing confusion, his men taking on the rest and the wild card being wild. Ghost Rider was mowing through most of his men, one of the soldiers during the attack dropped a flashbang: it exploded with a bright flash. Once the flash settled the men saw Ghost Rider...floating, it was laying on its back, floating through the air while rotating in a circle. After a few spins it stopped it's head snapped up to look at a soldier, in seconds it ran over to the soldier. Who responded by lifting his uzi and shooting bullets in it's jaw, he held down the trigger until the gun clicked empty. Ghost Rider stopped, made a jerking motion...then spewed all the bullets in a spray of hellfire back at the attacker. Burning his face with hellfire and bullets, Hei Nerr turned to the scene and tapped one of the guys next to him.
"Now we leave. It's getting a little diiiceeey," he said, motioning for the men to get in the cars. The others shooting at Ghost Rider and the others to keep them back. Hei Nerr knew it would slow it down though...the rocket launcher would. He pulled one out of the weapons cache and took aim at Ghost Rider, whose skull snapped its attention onto him and rushed at Hei Nerr. Tackling him to the ground, Hei Nerr in reaction pulled the trigger to the rocket and the missile launched: sending Ghost Rider into the air and he crashed back down a few ways from Aqua's house, closer to the city.

"Hey, it worked, didn't it?" Nero asked, coming to his feet and tossing away the remnants of his sling and cast; he raised his sword on the defensive. He didn't really seem to care that the primary antagonist had gotten away.
Lea sighed, looked around.
"Well, Kiara... looks like our work here is done," he told the cub, cracking his neck and shoulders.

"The guy in the red! He's a bad guy!" Roxas shouted across to Kiara as he swung his sword towards the red-headed man who for some reason scared him. But to his own surprise, every time his sword came within reach of his body, sand jumped up from that big pot on his back and blocked the sword strikes. No matter how fast he hit, no matter how hard, the sand kept blocking it! How was that even possible! "What are you?!" Roxas exclaimed as he leaped away from Gaara, ready to defend himself if necessary.
~
Gaara's eyes didn't move off of Nero's as he spoke to Roxas "I am Gaara. Of the Desert. Jinchuriki of Shukaku." He didn't even glance across at Roxas at all, his eyes still not moving from Nero. He had insulted him, he would die. "Come on. You were acting so mighty and superior earlier." He said bluntly in his monotone voice, eyes locked onto Nero as he spoke. "I want you to let me live. I want everything you have. I want to kill you."

"Gee, I want you to die. Guess one of us is just gonna have to live with it!" The last words he shouted as his phantom hand struck out at Gaara, right before Red Queen spun up in a sweeping strike and then he whirled, tossing the sword upwards for a brief moment, enough time for Blue Rose's twin barrels to let off a flurry before she disappeared into his coat again, and Red Queen sliced out in another angle.

Sand jumped up to meet every one of the attacks, the phantom hand, bullets and sword strike all being effortlessly parried away whilst Gaara looked calm as ever. "Is that all you have?" He asked as he pointed over Nero's shoulder, a shadow grew as a huge wall of sand built behind him. Waving a hand down, the wall came crashing down towards Nero, aiming to flatten both him and the Jinchuriki at the same time.
~
Roxas saw the sand wall and yelped before jumping to the side, where was his inner demon at this point?! Whenever he searched he couldn't find it!
Shukaku.
Why did he keep saying that word?!
We can't fight Shukaku.

Shiki well...hadn't really done anything. The whole event had confused her, and there was still a battle going on. But Hei Nerr was gone, and Sora...no Ghost Rider was still there. Wasn't he? Her eyes glanced over to where she thought he'd crashed, but she did nothing other than that.
He'd told her to leave...crap she didn't want to. Instead she looked around for Aqua, hoping her and her kids were okay.
(Sorry, felt like I should say something since Shiki's supposed to be here.)

He grinned. "Now's my chance!"
While all the sand was gathered to attack him, he leaped forward, putting every ounce of speed he had into the attack. One, two, three, four strikes from Red Queen; Blue Rose came out in his right hand, BANG BANG BANG, before a fifth strike from Red Queen, and the Devil Bringer came up to hold off the sand for just a few more seconds as a sixth and final strike ended the series of slashes with an elegant finish...

Gaara flew backwards, landing on his feet he slid a few more meters with his head hung low, the sand had managed to block the majority of the strikes, but that last attack had collided with him. The sand in the gourd had protected him but not well enough. He still didn't feel pain. He wanted to feel pain. He needed it. Looking up, a huge crack ran down his face, as if he were made of porcelain.
"It's not enough..." He growled as the sand gathered around him "It's not enough..." He repeated as his eyes widened "YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH!" he opened his palms and slammed them together, suddenly the sand shot outwards like a huge slug from a firearm with immense force. "Sand slug!" He growled as the sand shot forwards, the crack perverting his features even more than the carved kanji did.
~
Roxas was gripping his head, his mind overwhelmed with thoughts that he just couldn't control during the fight, he was of no use to anyone like this! He needed to get it under control and fast, before something happened and he ended up dying! He couldn't die here! He just couldn't!
Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki, Fukushu, Shukaku, Koibito, Sentoki.
Gah! Why did he keep saying those names!
We can't fight. We can't fight.

Hei Nerr turned to the others and was handed a grenade launcher, he checked the ammo before he turned it on the party.
"Bye bye you little bi-"
Then there was this sound...a large horn, he stopped and slowly turned to the source of the sound and his jaw dropped.
"No...way..."
Driving to them was...a bus, a bus covered in hellfire and blackened metal. On the sign on the top of the bus were the words flashing: 'Bus 666, non-stop trip to Hell.' Ghost Rider sat behind the driving, laughing manically as the bus roared down to them: fueled by hellfire that pushes the bus to speeds not fit for buses. Hei Nerr tried to turn to the others and fire the grenade launcher at everyone, the 'Hellbus' drove in front of the explosions and it bounced off the bus. It then did a wide turn and smacked into the guys still trying to attack the group, the men in the way were run down and turned to ash as Ghost Rider laughed manically.

Nero paused, eyeing the crack. ".....what?"
"I think you broke him," chuckled Lea.
"No... something's not right..." He rose his right arm into a ready position, pulled Red Queen up. Got ready.

Something was definitely not right. Gaara's crack was actually crumbling away the rest of his face... It was made of sand. Raising a single hand, he closed his fist, and it all started crawling back up his face and settling back into place. Within a few seconds, the crack had closed completely. "Shukaku is not as fast as he could be." Gaara said bluntly. "So I cover myself in a thin, solid layer of sand, as a last defense." He flung up two open palms, pointing them at Nero. "It also provides me a good chance to sneak up on a worthless enemy such as yourself." His eyes glanced down briefly, whilst Nero and Lea had been so interested in his crack, Gaara had slid sand underneath Nero's feet.
"Sand Coffin!"
The sand suddenly burst into life, jumping up at Nero's ankles and legs, Gaara aimed to freeze him in place as swiftly as he could. If this man wasn't going to satisfy him, he would need to kill him. He missed the feeling of murder, he wanted to live again.

Hei Nerr growled before leaping in one of the cars, yelling for the driver to drive as another soldier fired a rocket launcher at the Hellbus: knocking it over. Giving Hei Nerr enough time to drive away, once the fires of the Hellbus died down Ghost Rider slowly walked out of the bus. Looking for Hei Nerr only to find he is gone, he stared off into the distance for the moment before his skull suddenly snapped onto the group: particularly Aqua. He didn't move...he just stared at her...
