Roulin hadn't paid much attention to either Anya or Nikolai. Once they told him their current location, the only thing he began to wonder was if he should explore the area or get to Virginia for a rest. He could rest here. After getting the rundown of the place from Anya, he looked back at her when she began to speak to her friend about a "person" living in his shadow. Of course, initially, he had an idea about who it was, but because he couldn't see her, nor did she sound like the lethargic girl he'd seen earlier, he couldn't say. "Sounds like Sydney...but I've never known Sydney to be happy in the least. Also, I don't think we've ever met sir. My name is Roulin and yours must be Nik right?"

Cecilia did not recognize the place where Roulin, Anya, Nik, and she ended up. Even the twangy country music didn't give her a hint. It was only until Nik and Anya informed them of their location did she understand. Of course. Nashville, Tennessee where most of the most famous country stars started out. That made a lot of sense. She smiled and waved towards Anya and Nik. "I'm Cecilia," she said in a friendly tone. She didn't know either of them and figured that it was best to introduce herself. She looked around. "We could find a television playing somewhere and see if there is still something on the news regarding that fight in New York," she suggested.

((sorry I haven't posted in a few days I was having writers block)) Dwyte watched Demios run away to help Moli, turning watching Nat leave with Kojiro. Not alone he felt a little absent, lost without Mail in control. But there was still no sign of Mail waking up, probably still tired from using his powers earlier. Swallowing dryly he trudged through the rubble and puddles.

Lucien chuckled a little, before he laughed a little louder. Lightning cracked in the sky as Lucien felt his Architech seal burst forward in his eye. "That's the first time sense Death Owl Thomas someone has referred to me as boy" He raised a hand dripping with negation to strike her a fatal blow when a shockwave spun him around. He looked to see Raven holding the hand which fired them. He raised an eyebrow as she threatened their lives. "Hostages? Ones from opposing teams no less. Bad move Raven. You forget I am the monster that will change the world you're going to have to show me a little more evil if you want to try and blackmail me." He said with another laugh. He swiped his hand upward. From below the bodies shot a pillar of crystal which violently threw them away from Raven, it was his way of keeping up appearances of his usual uncarring demenor while removing them away from harm, in their own way they both meant something to Lucien, and he couldn't see them die because of these underhanded tactics. In that time Lucien had shot forward his hand again dripping with Death Owl Negation. "You presume to much Raven. You think I would spare the enemies lives? The world is founded upon hard decisions and I am the arbiter that carries out those decisions." He had to be careful of her shockwaves, they were one of the only things that his negation had no affect on, he learned that while fighting Thomas. As he ran closer and closer using his super speed he swiped his razor wires which were all now coated in a layer of negation running along their surfaces, as he controlled the wires he planned to ensnare Raven in a 3-D sphereical shape of negation covered wires.

"Damn that black stuff..." the unknown fighter retracted his flaring dark orange arm and looked at his seering negation covered knuckles. The lava had darkened to obsidian rock. His hand was dying. At anytime, he could separate his molten arm from his body and grow a new one. As long as his flesh form wasn't burned away, he could continue to regenerate. He wanted to inspect this substance more, but now wasn't the time. His rock formed hand fell to the ground and crumbled to bits before he crafted himself a new one. His firery eyes then landed upon Raven and Lucien once again.
The owl of death didn't seem to care that the two people who were here to help him were now down and out. Prisoners of war they were now. "Lucien!" As Lucien readied his next attack, the imposter punched his molten fist through the ground causing a streamlined wave of magma to erupt in Lucien's direction. "Block this!" He needed to take his attention off of Raven long enough for her to deliver some sort of damaging blow to the resilient owl.

As the Magma Owl fired his attack on Lucien she herself charged him at an angle, swinging her fan so then five poisonous darts flew out in a one-eighty degree angle. That attack he was about to use... would have killed me in a second. Her wrist snapped, causing the fan to re-load. Ana knew she had five cartons until she would have to re-load completely.
They were small darts, almost like small needles plunging into the air and barely seen with the naked eye. As she landed on the ground she pushed off, running to the left to try and come at him again. She had seen the attack in his mind, a wire type attack, and she knew Raven was already hurt. Her wrist twirled again in a circle, the darts shooting out towards Lucien. His only option would be up, even then he could be easily attacked by her darts. Four cartons left...

Lucien growled loudly, with all of these distraction he needed a way to end it, his energy was running low, and he could feel the cuts Raven had left had begun to open up his other wounds. He had to cut his attack on Raven short for now. He pulled his hand back as his wires retracted they sliced through Ana's darts, but not all, two of her darts found their place in his back. He coughed as he removed them with telekinesis. He spun around at the lava like attack. He grunted as he covered his body in a layer of negation, just like Thomas had used. As the lava encombassed him He could feel the immense heat, but he was somewhat safe. He shot up firing through the lava as the negation ripped from his skin falling down below into the lava below him. He took in deep breaths as Ana's poison circulated through his body. He flicked his wrist as a telekinetic blade slashed down his own back. He gasped as he began to bleed, it was a bad wound but it kept her poison from continuing on any further, he didn't know what it did, therefore he couldn't make an antidote at this moment in time. He watched his blood fall tinto the lava, he flew towards the ground stumbeling a little as he landed. He whipped around as blood fell from his body. He smiled a little laughing semi loudly. "I haven't felt like this sense the Appalachians, sense the last time I almost died." he said as his razor wires appeared to be gone.

Aaliyah looked towards Lucien and back at Raven. "I don't know....he manipulates the weather as well" she told her honestly as she looked at Lucien. She could tell the battle was close to ending as she avoided getting hit by negation. If the opposing people were trying to save New York they had failed miserably she had thought to herself.
Jeannie looked at Lucien as he displayed his moves. It was impressive but the way he was fighting was barbaric and could get him easily killed. She looked at the carnage around the city as she shook her head. Lucien, leave this battle, let's get out of here...trying to save anyone is a complete bust as of right now. Regroup and get yourself together she projected as she began to dial a number on speed dial, a helicopter would be there for them soon.

((TFP---Raven))
Lucien did not take the bait. Well should Raven have expected anything less from the demonic like person? Probably not "It is nice to hear you say that, Lucien. Just a few moments ago you was asking why I am doing what I am doing...you are no different from myself if you so eagerly throw the lives of others away" sliding one foot back until she was in a firm stance Raven readied herself for shockwave of immense size and power "It is time to end this. Prepare yourself for the sweet embrace of the death you seem to love so much" From deep inside something began to pulsate. Like a steady drum rhythm, the Heart of Life stirred.
Raven's body began to glow in a brilliant silver light as the new power ran through her veins. Her once golden crown of hair turned silver, while her eyes became an almost luminescent blue. After a few moments the silver light had spread outwards from her back until it seemed she had wings. Small pieces of rubble flew out of the area she stood in like an unseen hand was tossing them aside. One step at a time Raven edged closer towards Lucien until she felt she was close enough to deal him a deadly blow. Again, she slid one foot back. This time she was going to attack. "Lets see you dodge this" No sooner had the words left her pale lips that a shockwave savaged the area directly in front of her, tearing through anything and everything in its rage. One thing was for sure, this shockwave was nothing like the others.

Nikolai nodded at Roulin's answer to his question, it was a starting point, even if 'Happiness' wasn't this Sydney, it was at least somewhere to start from. Nikolai thought for a few moments, almost missing the second half of Roulin's statement. Nikolai nodded and replied, "Yep, Nikolai Krane, that's Nikolai with a k and Krane with a K, just Nik is fine though. Good to meet you Roulin." Instead of actually shaking Roulin's hand, Nikolai extended a part of his shadow, which formed a hand and shook Roulin's hand before receding back into Nik's shadow. Nik waved back to Cecilia and said, "We've technically already met once before, I saved your life when you dropped out of the sky on Exire." Nik then turned back to the shadow standing before him and said, "Alright 'Happiness'... Is your real name Sydney? Or do you know a woman named Sydney at all?" Nik hoped she hadn't forgotten about his earlier questions either, it would help if he knew whether or not she was blind, and if he knew her real name as well. He turned back to the other three and asked, "So what now? Do we stay in this musical city or do we go somewhere where we most likely won't be mugged and/or murdered by a mob of angry owl-haters? Honestly I'm up for whatever." Nikolai didn't really care where they went or what they did, he'd just be following Anya. And since Nik now had a rather happy hitchhiker hanging in his shadow, he'd try and figure out what she wanted and where she needed to go.

"I'm no different than you? What foolishness. You and I are nowhere near the same mind frame." He laughed again. Again his words were more for show, there was no real substance, he truly did not want them to die, besides if he did he would never hear the end of it from Roulin. He readied himself as Raven began to build up power. His eyes began to scan her every movement. "Power rising, concussive force reaching it's peak." He wasn't aware of the heart of Life, as he heard the beating of it's might he became a little confused. "What's that? Concussive waves radiating throughout the area? No. Sonic pulses from her powers? No there would be a more high pitched noise. What is that?" He asked as he watched her metamorphesis. He was a little suprised, her appearance was vastly different. He readied himself as his blood spilled onto the ground below him. He took in a deep breathe as he began to form his own sonic pulse. When she fired hers it tore through the ground, it's power could have leveled a mountain. He fired his own, but with his lack of energy and build up time her's towered over his. The two forces clashed for a moment then his was overcome. His eyes widened as her blast roared towards him. He didn't have time to dodge, and his mist conversion would still be affected. He quickly leapt back curling up in the air as a telekinetic sphere formed around him her pulse fired him backwards like a cannonball. His body flew upwards crashing through a series of skyscra[ers before exitting high in the air. Lucien's body seemed to float in the air for a moment, his Architech seal still present as he began to fall to the ground. Falling several hundred feet he smashed into the ground with a tremendous thud. Dust flew into the air clouding the crater he had created. When the dust settled Lucien was laying face up in the hole, his eyes about half open and cloudy. He had obtained a series of gashes and lascerations from firing through the buildings, it was obvious that several of his long bones were broken from the odd angle on of his arms was laying, his blood still dripped from his wounds, but the cold air from the fall had allowed it to coagulate. The Architech seal was the only visible part of his eye that was present.

Jeannie had seen what had happened to Lucien, she couldn't believe it...well part of her could because she did project to him that he was fighting barbarically. Soon a helicopter had came next to her as she climbed aboard. "Listen we are looking for a man, he's probably several yards away, but we have to find him" she said to her drive. As the helicopter had flown away, she looked down at the destruction and carnage. Soon she could see Lucien. "Go down" she requested as the helicopter began to land. She lept off running towards Lucien. "Damnit" she said looking at him. "This won't hurt at all Lucien" she said out loud but also projecting to his brain that he was not hurting. She began to carefully pick him up as she placed him in the helicopter. "Driver take us to L.A." she requested. "Don't worry lucien, you can meet up with Thomas in France after we get you some help" she said. She placed another phone call then hung up.
Vincent looked at the disaster Daryle had left as the waiters looked at him with an evil eye. He shrugged with a grin and stood up. "Well this was nice, thanks a lot" he said as he quickly made his way out of the restaurant portion of the hotel. He was now near the stairs by the lobby as he took them upwards towards an Elevator. He would catch his shut eye and then would be ready for France in the morning.

There was a formidible silence after Raven's enormous shockwave. The air seemed to be silent, even the distruction seemed to be at rest. Ana stood there, her mouth gaped open at the immense attack she had just seen. The beat of a helicopter flying over them caught her attention. Probably going after Lucien. There was some sadness in her eyes from all this, however she guarded her face from any emotion.
Ana let out a deep breath, her eyes beet red as she walked slowly over to Raven. "Raven, are you alright?" she asked quietly, her hand snapping her fan closed. She looked over at the Magma Owl, a softness coming over her face. Ana quickly pulled out a pair of sunglasses, her eyes stinging in pain. That was too close. I'm going to have to take half a bottle of ibuprofen to get rid of this headache.

Lorna watched the battle with mild curiosity. She was rather impressed by the newcomer who had come to their aide. He seemed to have a lot of control and potential. After the battle ended, she watched as the helicopter took Lucien away before she flew over to Raven and the others. She didn't mention it, but part of her was glad that Lucien had managed to escape with some help. She knew that Raven would have her head if she said so out loud. She then looked down at Khalifa and Moli who were laying unconscious upon the ground. "So are we going to hold these guys for ransom or what?" she asked. Why did she have such a soft spot for other Owls regardless of whether or not they were on her team? She shook the thought away. Her eyes then fell upon the Magma Man. "I'm Lorna," she said waving at him. "Otherwise known as The Polaris Owl."

Demios frowned as he saw his friends had been beaten and captured. He did his best to follow after their capturers and soon found his friends unconscious near Raven. He knew they were in trouble, but he also knew he couldn't face them alone so trying to attack would be suicide. He frowned as he came to a decision. "I'm sorry guys I promise I'll find a way to save you" He said quietly. He then flew over Raven as he fled the area hoping he could find help. It was obvious while he flew that he was already weak. As he flew he closed his eyes and focused on a spell "Words soar through the air and go to those who I know not where, seek the one I wish to find give him word of our disastrous fight" He said. Suddenly a sphere of energy launched out and then landed inches from Roulin. It then changed into a letter that told him they had failed, who was captured, and that Demios was forced to flee it was signed with the suit that Demios was in the four aces.
