Wooden mask looking directly at Aeris, she suddenly felt anger. Anger from him. And then his Purple flame was thrown aside, and he moved his hands in a set of loops, forming the symbol for infinity, the hands forming Silver Lightning, bringing the finger's together, he then threw them at Aeris and charlotte, and the Lightning crackled towards them. And the mask cracked slightly, and they heard, not so much a voice, as a Psychic force. TO HELL WITH BETHREZEN!

Aeris cast a shield of magical energy that blocked the lightning bolt. "Fair enough. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you. Such trivial matters are handled by other units in Queen Lilith's service." Charlotte squeaked in fright, but didn't back away. Her union with the Watcher had granted her a little bit of his strength.

The sound of wood shattering was heard, and the sharp features of Soshi were seen, silver eyes and black hair. "I think that is it. I think it is time I stop grasping for that Fools ideals. I am a creature of Fire. Of anger. Of Rage. Aang. You are wrong. I am nothing but a killing machine." He held his left arm out, and a Silver Katana formed in his hand, as he pulled an Emerald No-Dachi out from behind himself with his right. "Prepare thyself. I am Soshi Zhou. I slew Princess Azula of the Fire Nation, the only woman I loved, trying to bring peace to the Four Elements. I now commit myself to War." He let out a Feral Warcry, and his eyes became a Molten Silver as he charged Aeris and Charlotte. He brought the No-Dachi in a sweeping horizontal slash.

Aeris struck the blade with her staff, deflecting it, while Charlotte cast a hasty spell. However, she felt the ether in her blood churn, and the ice spell she released was far more powerful than it usually was. Her proximity to Aeris was enhancing her own powers.

The Emerald No-Dachi suddenly was brought around again, but this time, a Sweeping wave of flame went with it, defusing the Ice. And then Soshi smirked. And span his Silver Katana before thrusting towards Aeris.

Aeris barely dodged the attack, shivering as the memory of her first death came back full force. Charlotte changed tactics, and conjured up a wave of water. Loud stomping was coming from one of the connecting hallways.

Soshi tossed both his weaponsyward, and jumped. He brought nfinity symbol around again, sending a Stream of Lightning at Charlotte, before grabbing the Katana, and Yagyu, and using his momentum from falling to spread a Wave of Purple flame.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Soshi was hit by a tremendous force, which knocked him to the ground. Charlotte scampered over behind Christopher as he stomped into the courtyard, and Aeris calmly walked over to lean on his shoulder. "Get out, Soshi, before I turn my blade on you. Animus! Why aren't you keeping this kid under control?"

Soshi rolled, and sprang up, into a backflip, landing on a lip overlooking the Courtyard. And Christopher saw his Silver eyes. "Animus... Bethrezen... Lilith... All of them are nothing to me anymore." He stood up, and breathed in deeply and opened his hands before bathing the areain purple flame. "The only one I loved is dead. I will bring misery to them all."

Soul Calibur shielded the three people with a pyramid of crystal as the flames passed, then Christopher aimed the blade at Soshi. "Go away, boy. You've attacked my brides, and you die for it if you don't leave this instant."

His breathing steadied, and eyes flared Silver. "Big words, from a man who doesn't know pain..." He pulled his hands into the Figure-Eight. The Lightning coursed in his direction. "DIE!"

"Pain? I've heard the cries of countless children, weeping for their lost dreams, unable to wander my realm in their sleeping hours. They cry because Luther saw fit to slip behind my back and kill half the worlds I watch over!" Christopher flinched as the lightning hit him, and unleashed a wave of crystal at Soshi, then grabbed Aeris and Charlotte's hands. "Come on, let's get inside! The palace guard will deal with him."
As the three went inside, a servant of Raphael's came running. "Sir! Miss Amy is in labor!" Christopher bolted off to his room, where nurses were attending to his first love. "Amy..." "I'm fine. The baby is going to be healthy. But I'm going to... ergh... need a lot of blood after I'm done." Charlotte shivered and hid behind Chris, who nodded. "I'll have a prisoner brought to you once you've delivered the baby."

"Perhaps you would like to face me." The soft, cold voice came from a shadow formed by the rising sun rising over the front gates. The woman's long, black hair flowed down her back. There were odd markings on her arms. "So, this is the place Germaine spoke of..."
Christopher was wrapped up in holding Amy's hand as her labor pains got worse. No one noticed a pale hand grasp Charlotte by the shoulder and pull her out of the room. "This fate is not yours, little one."

"Hmph, very well, then." The woman walked the length of the courtyard as she headed for Christopher's residence wing. Soshi could see an archaic symbol tattooed on her back that glowed faintly.

He landed with nary a sound, and suddenly, Shanoa heard the crackling of Lightning flying at her. "Never turn your back on a traitor. It will get you killed."

The woman turned, only for a powerful force to redirect the lightning at a spire. A man's voice echoed from behind Soshi as the woman ran inside, flanked by a few demons. "Leave that one alone, boy. Her fate isn't yours to determine."

The immortal, time-traveling sage laughed, and obliged Soshi. "As you wish, foolish boy. But beware the progeny of the Watcher and his brides. They will bring Sarya and anyone else against Zeltennia to their knees." Germaine vanished with a final laugh, and as the dark-haired woman neared the Watcher's quarters, Amy let out a ghastly screech, and gave birth to her daughter Aria. She panted from exhaustion, barely able to give her lover a kiss. "Blood... need blood... Food and fluids won't be enough." "Of course, my girl." Raphael rushed out to snatch one of his many expendable servants, as the woman, Shanoa, stood outside.
Christopher quickly sensed the new presence, and moved to shield Amy and his new child. Terra growled softly, ether forming in one hand. "Who's there?" "Only a lonely warrior who has nothing left for herself." Shanoa stepped into the light, and Christopher was briefly surprised by her exotic appearance, with her mystic glyph tattoos on her arms and back. Terra and Aeris felt a slight tug on their magic. "My name is Shanoa. I am a lost soul with nothing left to live for in my own world. The Saint claimed that you could give my life meaning, again." Christopher paused, taken aback by the woman's statement. But Aeris looked at her with more interest. "She's powerful, Chris. Surely, she'd be useful to us." "Hm... maybe. But first, she should prove himself in battle."
After a few minutes, Raphael returned with a maid, who quickly died to Amy's intense thirst. Christopher held his new daughter for a good while, until she opened her little green eyes. Amy smiled. "My eyes were once green..." Chris handed Aria back to her mother for nursing, then turned to Shanoa. "You can either face my guardian here..." He gestured to Kosmos, who looked eager to test her skills. "Or we can find one of Peter's boys and let him fight you. You're a pretty face, which I like, but you need either brains or brawn to back that body up." Shanoa nodded. "If that is what you wish." She followed him out to an open-air arena Lilith's forces used to train. Sephiroth was just leaving, and servant demons were cleaning up his mess.

His Shining Silver Armour, glowing with the blue tint of Mithril. He walked in, Visor down, Sixteen prayer beads wrapped around his Waist, names inscribed on each. He glowed with an intense light that hurt the eyes. He calmly drew his Sword, a Jovar, and looked Shanoa in the eye, and she saw Blue Orbs. Then, he breathed in deeply, and his body was satiated with energy. "I am a Prisoner here. Fel Servant of Zeltennia, your sins reek like Brimstone to me. PREPARE THYSELF! I AM ATHRYN OF THE ORDER OF THE WHITE BLADE!" He gripped one of his beads, and his voice humed like a drone. In another language, unknown to any, he chanted. Then he seemed to blur.

"Though darkness surrounds me, I will be a light among the shadows." Shanoa's glyphs began to glow, and wings appeared on her back. She took to the air with a flap, and began eyeing her opponent warily, a spell in one hand and a sickle in the other.

He suddenly was flanked by three more of him, and they scattered, Then, all of them leapt in the air. "DELTA SWORD!" The four attempted to begin a combo.
