Musashi kneels by his partner as he collapses in pain. Examining Shino's back, Musashi sees something beginning to exude from the knight's armor. Shino's red cape slowly begins to protrude upwards as something grows from his back. As it slowly rises further and further, Musashi can make out what appears to be a single white feather. After a moment, another, this one red, also appears.

With a laugh, Musashi looks at his comrade. "Shino, this won't be exactly the most comfortable thing in the world. But it looks like we both got a new pair of wings today."

Musashi continues watching his partner's spectacular transformation.

The wings forming on Shino's back tear large holes into his armor and Gi. When finally finished, Shino stands and looks over his shoulders seeing 2 brilliantly white feathered wings, with small red feathers here and there makeing almost like a spotted look.

Shino tries to figure out what happened.

Are these a gift from Riselm? That must be what it is.

Trying to feel out the differences, he feels new muscles that he has the ability to control. He flaps his wings with pride and easily hovers above the ground.

"Wings? Wow. This is a interesting twist."

The strength now flowing through Damion is amazing. He flexes his arms to test, and smiles grimly at the amount of pure power now available to him. Then, he launches himself at Mondain, putting all his strength into a single, monumental, smashing blow.

Holy energy pours into Reverend's spirit, strengthening his Mod gifted powers and increasing his physical gifts. Reverend is busy marveling his new power and Shino's wings when he notes Damion charging in to battle ahead of him. "Damion! Pull back! We want Shino, Musashi, and your Father to try and weaken Mondain's denfenses first!"

Realizing that Damion will not be able to stop his charge, Rev turns to Takao and nods grimly. "Change of plan. We attack first, then hope to do enough damage for Shino, and the others to lower the boom." Reverend brings up Ruler, and pulls from behind his back his Chaos war axe Anarchy into his right hand.

"Charge, now!" Reverend takes off at Mondain, Ruler coming in an overhead strike while Anarchy and Law slash across

Takao saw the cue and lunged forward at Mondain's back, katana ready to attack.

The three party members reached Mondain and engaged him. The Chaos Emissary seemed to be using all his energy to move very quickly, and the party members were, despite outnumbering him, only able to score one or two hits before they were all knocked clear by his swinging morning star.

However, as Mondain moved to attack the downed Damion, there was a loud crack, followed by a hiss, and the roof started to freefall down the length of what had been the tower. Mondain quickly clenched his fist and raised it up in the air as the party members were stunned for a moment, and there was a flash of chaos energy. "I have nullified all of your flying powers for the time being," he announced. "We fight here, to the death. No escape."

Musashi and Shino hovered in the air, watching the roof of the tower begin to go into freefall, prepared to dive down and save their friends. But as Mondain lifted his hands, the warriors felt their wings go limp, no longer capable of upholding them, and dropped towards the platform. As they neared the roof, Musashi thrust his hands forward, glowing with light blue energy.

"CYCLONE FLASH!!"

A small tornado of wind energy appeared from the center of the roof, slowing the warriors' descent as they landed unharmed. The cyclone stil raged around them with them standing in its eye. Now glowing yellow, Musashi thrust his hands forward, sending the cyclone rocketing towards Mondain, growing in size and strength as it moved away from the warriors' bodies until it became a maelstrom of wind magic. Bolts of lightning could now be seen coursing amidst the tornado's walls as it continued on its collision course with the Chaos Emissary.

Gritting his teeth, Takao activated the silver "光速" (kousoku) kanji on his forehead, and lunged at blinding speed towards Mondain, taking advantage of the Emissary's momentary lapse in defense as he moved to counter Musashi's attack.

Mondain saw this coming, but was not able to match Takao's magic-enhanced speed. The Emissary's morning star roiled with chaos magic, and he spun around as fast as he possibly could, deflecting Musashi's blast away on the forward stroke, and then coming around to strike at Takao. However, Takao's blinding speed and opportune attack allowed the samurai to cut deeply into Mondain's body three times, and then spin away from Mondain's counterattack without injury.

"Magic specialized for enhancing speed," Mondain growled as he blasted the ground under Takao, forcing the samurai to stumble slightly, giving Mondain an opening to blast at him. "Very clever!" Mondain levelled his hand at Takao, preparing to blast the samurai off the rooftop.

Damion jumped up and thrust his caltaka up into the air. Lews Therin nodded to his son and called to the very bottom reserve of his power, putting it all into an all or nothing enchantment on Damion's caltaka. The air around it roiled and smoked, dripped and froze, crackled and warped. The angelic weapon was of all elements and none, loaded with pure energy. Damion lowered it, took aim, and put all his strength into a single, blasting hurl at the back of the towering chaos emissary.
