Sand rose from the ground beneath Darius, and the small crystal particles in it merged together, forming a solid shield, blocking the strike. "I should be ok for now, but what do I do," Darius thought.
"Either she'll be killed, or everyone she sees until she comes to her senses dies by her hand," Vira said to Minek coldly. "If that doesn't stop her, nothing will."
"No... NO NO NO NO!" Minek shouted and began wiggling harder trying to break Vira's hold on her. "Genshi! Genshi!"
Kazuki and Liilii caught up with the others.
"This is all because I came here, isn't it?" Megumi asked.

"For what it's worth, there's enough people around here she could kill till she cools off." Robin added, shrugging.
Genshi repeatedly and fiercely struck the shield. Her heavy sword, while made to cleave boulders, still only cracked the shield with each hit. After a couple dozen strikes, Genshi stopped as she swung her sword back. The sword started glowing orange as she aimed for the shield. She swung it again, causing a huge energy wave to connect with the shield point-blank, causing a large explosion.

"We can't let that happen," Kazuki said.
The blast broke Darius' shield, and sent him flying back. He made several weak walls of dirt behind himself, slowing himself down with each one he smashed through until he stopped.

"We need to do something!" Kaori exclaimed, worried.
"You don't get it, do you?!" Robin yelled, pointing to the wall of dirt enclosing the battle. "What's happening in there is out of our league. We shouldn't even be here, 'cause whoever wins that battle isn't good for us. The berserker will kill anyone she sees, and the Nocturnian soldier will hunt us down."
Terka walked back up to the group. "It's not gonna help to yell. Let's just clear the area before we regret staying here."
Genshi swung another glowing sword swing at Darius, this time expelling the energy from the blade as it hurtled toward him.

"I understand the situation perfectly!" Kazuki snapped. "That's why I'm not over there right now!" He closed his eyes, took a breath, and lowered his voice. "But I can't let anyone else get killed. Once the battle is over, regardless of who wins they'll be weakened. If I put my full power into a single attack I might have a chance. Even if it's a long shot, it's better than letting innocent people get killed. If it doesn't work, I'll lure them as far away as I can. You can use that time to get away."
"That's a stupid plan," Vira said. "It makes too many assumptions."
A wedge shaped wall of rock rose between Darius and Genshi, deflecting the blast.
Darius then circled around to try to get behind Genshi..

"Why are we fighting?" Tari spoke up. "We shouldn't even be here."
Robin looked at her mother, then around to the group, then sighed. She then walked slowly away to the fork in the sidewalk.
"Are you two okay now?" Terka asked Kaori and Kazuki, then nodded toward Liilii. "What about her?"
"Let's go." Tari said to Megumi, taking her hand.
Genshi looked around for Darius as her arm dropped down.

"Ok," Megumi said, following Tari.
"Even if it is, do you have a better one?" Kazuki said. "It'll be fine, I'll wait until the fight is over, rush in at full speed, then rush out."
"There might be other Nocturnian troops around," Vira replied. "In fact, it's almost certain."
"That'll only be a problem if he wins," Kazuki said confidently. "And if he does, it might be possible to reason with him. I can do this."
"The doddy! The doddy ithn tommin," Lillii exclaimed, pointing to Fritt.
Sand collected around Darius and began to form into a crystal armor. He tossed away his weapon and grabbed Genshi from behind, trapping her arms. he then swept his leg forward and around hers, pinning her legs and bringing her to the ground. Rock immediately rose from the ground and began covering Genshi's body. "I don't know how to reach you," Darius said softly. "But I'm going to stop you. I remember what I felt like when I thought I killed you. I'm not going to let you experience the same thing."

"Liilii, he won't leave till Gen comes out to him..." Kaori said.
Robin followed the group as they moved away.
Under the rock, Genshi heard Darius speak, but only responded in rage. She let loose of her weapon as she was pinned. Though his grip was firm, she started to move her arms forward. Moving them through the ground and weakening Darius' grip just enough before swinging her elbow fiercely into Darius' cheekbone.

"But the doddy! The doddy wiw be huwt," Liilii insisted.
Despite the strike being from an awkward position, it hit Darius with surprising force, knocking his head back and making him lose his grip. realizing what happened, he scrambled to build some distance. "That was stupid of me," he thought. "If that had been a clean blow she could have bashed my head in."

Kaori sighed, then looked toward the group.
Genshi leaped from the rock away from Darius, landing on the nearest vertical rock protrusion she could find, then launched herself off of it, speeding toward darius with her fist drawn.
