Vaan gasped as a strong wind guided him back to the land mass safely, but as for the Arbiter...while the wind did push him around a little, he worked up a telekinetic force and forced the land mass to knock Sophie off her balance - break her concentration and keep his balance.
"Vaan, about the Arbiter. That dark energy that came from that armor, I know that kind of wave energy - it's used in puppet based spells." the light spoke to Vaan.
"Puppet based spells?" Vaan asked.
"In short? Vaan I think the Arbiter is someone being possessed and controlled by the armor. If we break off more pieces of that armor we may free whoever's being controlled."

Dark power swirled around Izaya, similar to how Neku's was swirling around him. He saw that, smirked, then gathered the shadows around the area into one elegant hand.
"Break the armor, you say, hm?" he asked, looking at Vaan. "Well, I suppose I could help with that. Shi-chan!" he called, tossing the ball of darkness back and forth between his hands. "You like breaking things, right?" He laughed. "How about this? One-time offer, I help you and your friends destroy that armor, free of charge, what do you say, hm?"

Shizuo growled as he lowered his arm, that had been shielding his face. Looking across at Izaya, he pointed an incriminating finger at the demon. "How about this, huh?! You shut up, and help destroy this damn thing, and I won't break your smug face into a thousand tiny pieces, okay?!"[/i] He turned his attention back to The Arbiter, and smirked. Pulling his fist back, he clenched it tightly, a few bolts of lightning leaping from it.
"Take this!"
Shizuo thrust his fist forwards at speeds barely visible to the human eye. His fist caused intense friction in the air, heating up the surrounding space around it. His fist seemed to catch fire as he created a vacuum before his hand, launching a bolt of condensed air towards the Arbiter with pure brute force alone.

"Well, then, I guess that's a 'yes'..."
He smirked and grinned at the same time, and then the shadows burst outward, drowning the stage. His eyes went purely red, glowing with his power, and then the darkness swallowed the battlefield for just a moment.
When the darkness cleared, seven Izayas stood where one had been previously, each grinning the same grin. Of course, only one was real - but each of them slipped out a blade as the remaining shadows formed even more, and they simultaneously closed in on the Arbiter.
Neku, seeing the turn of the tide of battle and also hearing hte light's declaration, also finished gathering his power and raised a pillar of damaging green light beneath Arbiter, focusing all of its power on the armor itself, rather than the person inside.

The condensed bolt blasted against the Arbiter, causing him to stumble as the Izaya clones formed...however, a wide ranged Telekinetic blast pushed them all back - no matter how many formed. Neku's pillar of light though managed to strike him at the shoulder point, causing him to fall to his knees. Vaan took that moment, rushing forward and used his Lance to knock off one of the other shoulder pieces - as a rush of darkness left the spot he leaped on the large shoulder parts and began to pull off the helmet. "NO!" The Arbiter roared as the helmet was being torn off. "RaaaaaaaAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Vaan gave one last pull the helmet flew off - a torrent of darkness shot out of the armor and swirled around them, as it did the Crossing faded and they were returning to reality - inside the bank structure, the safe area. Vaan fell on his back as the Arbiter fell to his knees - breathing heavy...the malice that surrounded him was gone. Soon then, the large armor pieces fell off the Arbiter, crashing to the ground... Vaan discovered something very important...the Arbiter was NOT a man. " Wide Awake - THEME OF ASHE" It was a woman. ...A very naked woman. Vaan red faced and choking looked at the woman who appeared from under the Arbiter's armor, her back to him so he caught an eyeful off her....behind. A short haired brunette, tall and slender, she put her hands to her head and winced. "What...what's going on..." the woman spoke, stumbling she turned around and Vaan's face was red as the sun. "Who are you...?" Vaan couldn't answer, he was busy choking now. |

"Why, we're what they call 'big damned heroes'," Izaya said lightly and with a smile, as if he hadn't just finished defeating this woman in deadly combat, or as if he weren't staring at someone's naked body. "We just saved this bank from the evil Arbiter, who was trying to steal all the money so he could start a revolution and overthrow all of humanity." He kneeled, held out a hand to her. "Turned out he had a beautiful princess captive, and so we have saved you, as well."

First bad move, mentioning the Arbiter...for it triggered flashes of memory in the woman's head. Second, stepping near a naked woman for as she shook her head she saw some things that should normally be clothed.
She reacted.
"Get away from me!" she waved her hand and a strong force blasted Izaya back, Vaan snapped out of his embarrassment, it was now clear the Arbiter's powers were also her own.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Vaan stood up, holding his hands out. The woman covering her breasts with one arm and the other arm ready to use a telekinetic force. Vaan slowly stepped back, "See, I am stepping back, I won't get near you."
"Who ARE you people!?" The woman looked around, trying to cover herself and attack if needed.
"Friends okay?" Vaan said, waiting a moment, "What's your name, can you remember your name?"
The woman hesitated, "...Ashe. Ashe McGuiness."
"Ashe, okay, I am Vaan. Vaan Shepard." Vaan responded, keeping his distance.

Of course, Izaya was unfazed, spinning in the air into a backflip that allowed him to land, catlike, on his feet. After all, he'd been dodging SHizuo for years, now. "Whoooaaah, now! That's a strong punch you've got there!" he laughed.
A quick spin, a flourish, and he was holding a set of black clothing. He held them forward towards her.
"These should fit you," he said, grinning. "Just a temporary measure until we can find you something more fitting, hm?"

Ashe was about to move her hand toward Izaya again when Vaan spoke, "Whoa whoa its okay, he may be staring at you with those lecherous eyes but if you want him out, say the word."
Ashe looked at Vaan and at Izaya, between Vaan's worried expression to Izaya's creepy-ass smile.
She looked at Izaya, "Leave the clothes and you-" she gestured to the door. "Out."
"Okay, see, there we go...nice and calm." he edged around her to the clothes Izaya had and slowly took them. "The man with the perverted smile is leaving now..."
Ashe was still quite visibly uncomfortable, so Vaan looked around and his eyes rested on the women of the crowd.
"Okay um, ladies would you please help Ashe with her..." he paused to find the right word. "Modesty?"

[Wresie is obviously too lazy to log into all three accounts, deal with it.]
Aqua is over by Ashe in a moment's time being, stepping in front of her with her back to everyone else, "Don't worry... None of those... Guys are gonna do anything..." She then diverts her own gaze. "Um... Do you... Want help of... Some sort?"
Mean while back with everyone else they hear a slightly strained voice of Namine commanding, "If you all don't turn away...!!!" Her tone was NOT one to mess with!
Destani is casually walking up to act as a body shield as well if need be, changing back into her more human form as a default, her demonic power lessening as well.

"Well, that was disappointing." Shizuo said, turning his back and lighting up a cigarette. "I was sort of hoping that we'd unmask some kind of monster so that I could pu-" He broke into a fit of coughing as his vocal chords reverted to their original, and more human size. "I hate that part..." He grumbled. "But yeah, I was hoping we'd unmask some kind of monster, so that I could pummel it's face into the ground... Still..." He exhaled a cloud of smoke up and into the air.
"Maybe next time..."

"At least you got to see Izaya get telekinetically bitch-slapped by a chick," I pointed out, my back already turned and a fire going in my cheeks. "And geez, Nami, I wasn't gonna look!"
I was coming down off my own little high at the moment, my rage receding, leaving me drained and tired. I couldn't collapse until we got home, though; I needed to stay standing for everyone.
It was getting a bit hard. For some reason, the surge of energy I'd gotten when I snapped that 'thread' had drained quickly, leaving me more drained than if I'd gone without doing so.

"I'd rather see him physically bitch-slapped by my right hand, if I'm being honest." He retorted as he pulled his glove on his left hand tighter, before raising it back up to his cigarette. He took another drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke. He sniffed slightly as he looked across at Neku.
"You're looking drained, boss."

Shiki was about to tell the guys to turn around but Namine did it for her, in a much more threatening way then she could have done. Satisfied with the warning she went over to Ashe, also serving as a shield for the girl. And checking to make sure the guys didn't peek. She trusted them, but she could never be too sure!

"Using that blast really takes it outta me. And..." I cut myself off. No need to talk about... the other things I'd been feeling, at least not in public. "Well, to be fair, I'm not used to fighting other TKs." A good substitute. "It felt like I was playing tug-of-war, except with my brain, and pushing instead of pulling..."
