Spotting the flare, a Nocturnian soldier's attention turned to his commander's fight. He took a small pouch out of his pocket and took a small green bead out of it. He crushed it, releasing silvery dust into the air. "We need backup in Oroeth! All Nocturnian forces in the area, General Lilesh has engaged an unknown enemy!"
"Why are you here?" Kaori asked Darius, ready to attack again. "We don't want to hurt you."

"Why am I here?" Darius responded as he launched a wave of spikes toward Kazuki. "I'll tell you why I'm here. I'm a soldier and I was ordered to capture this town. That's all there is to it!" He then stuck at Kaori with his weapon.
Kazuki dodged the spikes and tried to charge Darius, only to have his path blocked by yet more spikes. "Damn," he said, "this guy's trying to keep us seperate so we can't coordinate our attacks."
Having snuck past the Nocturnian patrol ships, Yerth anchered his boat just offshore and waded up to the beach. "Damn, I never would have expected a Nocturnian attack on this scale," he said. He looked up and noticed a fading light int he sky near the mayor's house. "I'll check that out first, the mayor might be in danger," Yerth said as he made his way into town from the beach.

Kaori parried the strike, swinging at Darius. "You're human though."

Darius dodged Kaori's strike. "That's a surprise?" he replied. "There are lots of humans in the Nocturnian army." He spun his spear, striking down at Kaori in a vertical blow with the blunt end.
Kazuki continued to dodge spikes as he attempted to close on Darius. Despite the enhanced speed he got from his spark boost, he was still unable to find an opening. "looks like I'll have to force my way through," Kazuki said, as he charged up his sword again.
Yerth made his way through the village towards the mayors house. He moved as quietly as he could, but didn't see any villagers or Nocturnian soldiers on the way. The light was fading, but he could hear sounds of battle from that direction. As he approached the house he say a Nocturnian soldier collapsed on the ground outside. Yerth checked, and saw that he was unconscious but still alive. He then went inside and saw a female Nocturnian in the same condition. He looked around... "Kani!" Yerth called out as he rushed over to his friend also collapsed. "You ok? What happened here? Where's the Mayor?" he asked.
Kani weakly raised his hand to his head and groaned in pain. "Yerth?" He said weakly, looking up, trying to focus. "I was fighting this big nocturnian... he threw me into the wall... then there was a strange girl... Owww... My head..."
"Try not to talk," Yerth said. He dragged Kani into a back room that hadn't been damaged in the fight and laid him down on some cushions. "There's still fighting going on nearby, I'll go check it out. You stay here." Yerth left and headed towards the sounds of the fighting.

Kaori hit the ground and stumbled to her feet, propping herself up with her sword.
Nocturnian soldiers started running up from all sides, stopping a few feet away from the fight. A couple ran buy, spotting Tari, as she raised her gun in response and causing them to back away. "Dammit, I didn't have time to reload..." she thought. "I hope they don't notice..."

Yerth got to the scene and noticed all the Nocturnian soldiers gathered around watching the fight. A guy and a girl were fighting someone wearing a nocturnian uniform. Yerth stepped back into the shadows to avoid being seen. Then he spotted 2 girls on the ground unconcious. He didn't recognize them, but they didnt' seem to be Nocturnian. Yerth snuck over and quietly dragged them away, back to the mayor's house.
"Plasma Drive!" Kazuki shouted, as he sent a powerful blast of electricity surging toward Darius, smashing the spikes in the process. Kazuki charged Darius through the path cleared by the attack. A huge wall of earth rose to block Kazuki's spell. A bright flash covered the battlefield as Kazuki's attack struck Dariu's defense. Kazuki leaped through from behind and struck at Darius with his sword. As he swung a surge of pain from his shoulder washed over Kazuki. As a result his strike lost most of it's power, delivering a glancing blow on Darius' arm.
Darius spun around and struck at Kazuki, who barely managed to block. "Looks like you're both about finished," Darius said.

Kaori stood up and charged Darius as her katana sparked bright flames through it's path. She held it with both hands as it's blade flung three fireballs at Darius. She then continued her attack with a flurry of melee swings.

Darius dodged two of the fireballs, the third one hit him in the arm, singeing it. Darius was still able to parry Kaori's strikes with her sword. "Looks like you've got some fight left in you after all," he commented. A wall of earth rose between Darius and Kaori. Darius thrust his spear into it, and it shattered into dozens of pieces, each forming into a replica of the tip of his spear. "Rock Blade Strike," Darius said, as the earth spears flew towards Kaori.
"Don't forget about me!" Kazuki called out as he charged Darius from behind. Energy surged through his sword again. "Take this! Plasma burst!" Kazuki swung his sword with only his good arm, making the strike less powerful than it could have been but the blast of electricity would make up for that. Kazuki hit Darius in the same arm Kaori's fireball had just struck, doing more damage and knocking him off his feet. Only holding the sword with one hand wasn't enough for Kazuki to maintain his grip on it and it went flying. "Who's just about finished?" Kazuki asked.
Yerth had dragged Grega and Terka to temporary safety at the mayor's house, but with more Nocturnians gathering around to watch the fight, it would only be a matter of time before they were discovered. He went to check on Kani. "How ya feeling?" Yerth asked.
"My head..." Kani replied. "I think I can move though... How's the village?"
"Not good," Yerth explained. "It looks like everyone got out, but it's under control of the Nocturnians. There are some strangers fighting them still, but it's just a matter of time before more nocturnian troops arrive."
"We need to get out of here," Kani said. He glanced over and saw the Grega and Terka. "Who are they?" he asked.
"Don't know, but I think they were fighting the Nocturnians. I found them unconscious and dragged them back here. We need to move though, and I'm not sure I can get them to my boat without getting caught."

Kaori sliced through Darius' attack with a fiery swing, charring the projectiles into ash. She then leaped into the air above Darius, descending on him with her flaming katana.

A figure swiftly move in between Darius and Kaori, effortlessly blocking Kaori's strike. "What's this?" the figure asked. "I, Raej am quite suprised to see you in such a state, especially after unleashing your gate."
Darius got up and held his arm where both Kaori and Kazuki had struck him. "It looks worse than it is," he replied. "More importantly, what are you doing here, General Larentine?"
A sense of shock came over Kazuki as he recognized the name. "General Raej Larentine, commander of the Nocturnian army..." he stated with a hint of fear in his voice. "TARI, KAORI!" Kazuki called out, "RUN!"
