Zero looked up and saw that Zena and Braum went ahead, never noticing he stopped. It took him a few minutes to catch up to them and Braum said that he sees the necromancer. Zero caught and glance then -badump- his heart beated, causing him to step back some. A feeling Zero hasn't had in months came back, the feeling ........... of fear. He stepped back some more and started to breathe heavily while grabbing his chest with his right hand.

"Lavender, I can't have you come with me...", Azeruk said to Lavender before looking off in the direction of the tower and pausing to consider what he said next.
Azeruk wanted to tell Lavender what exactly he was planning to do, but he didn't know how she would take such information. If she was told that he was going to go back and fight to buy her some time, would she let him? What would she do? It was clear to Azeruk that Lavender worried about losing him like her old master, but if Azeruk did not act, then she would not have an opportunity to find her old master. After a moment of silence, Azeruk removed his helmet and looked back at Lavender with a rather odd look in his eye. Lavender may or may not have been able to tell what that look conveyed, but it was evident that there was at least a hint of worry in his gaze.
"If I don't go back, then there's a good chance Seki, that girl, will come back and attack in an attempt to capture us to get the secrets of the tower. I have to go back and at least distract her or stop her to buy you enough time to get a safe distance away... I'm not going to lie to you, what I am doing is dangerous, but I am doing this for your safety. I need you to run. Run as fast as you can to Sanctuary, and if you hear the flapping of wings in the sky, I need you to hide. When this is all over, I'll come look for you and I promise that I will find you. If it is fated that we are supposed to walk the same path, then time will make it so.", Azeruk said to Lavender as he placed and arm on her shoulder, as if to assure her that the separation was only temporary.

Lavender stood there for a second or two, her head downcast in sorrowful contemplation, before she looked up and nodded. Her black, pupil-less eyes were glistening with tears overflowing down her cheeks. Gripping the shortsword tightly with both hands, Lavender turned to run towards this place called Sanctuary, but not before giving Azeruk a hug and a plead.
"Please... promise me you'll come back for me."

Pine Grove | Chronomacer's Tower
The elf girl looked around her and quickly came up with a plan. They were underground but they seemed to be in some kind of cave that didn't need supports to keep them standing. However if the girl were to launch an attack straight up at the ceiling, it would surely cause the cave to cave in on all of them. "I have an idea." said the elf girl as the necromancer sent out a single shot of dark energy aimed directly at Braum's sheild. The attack asn't meant to break the sheild or even harm them, It was simply done for the intimidation factor. The blast of dark energy would hit the sheild with all the force of a minivan but spread out over the full length of the shield to do minimal damage. For some reason the necromancer, who had a fortress made from the bones of her fallen enemies, was going out of her way not to kill anyone inside the tower.
"I suggest you leave back the way you came." Said Seki as she slowly approached the standing trio of worriers. However she stopped when she saw the boy standing behind Braum and Zena. It was the same boy she had nearly killed just a few minutes ago on the surface. But he looked like he was in perfect health. "You're still standing? My you are a stubborn one indeed. You might even make a good addition to our cause. whatdya say kiddo? Want to become the most powerful aeromancer in the world? Or will your life be wasted in a battle you already know you can't win?"
Meanwhile Zena took this moment to quickly explain her plan to the others. "If one of us were to attack her from above, she wouldn't' be able to strike back without risking causing a collapse. If we all attack her from separate directions, we might be able to catch her off gaurd."
Pine Grove | Bone dragon Fortress
The worrier saw the girl's attack but wasn't sure what she was planning. He thought it best to just be as good of a distraction as possible as he quickly turned again, charging directly for Mr. Socks as he called out to him. "HEY BONE HEAD" he yelled to get his attention. It wasn't easy for the man to charge at him while still avoiding the fire, however he was holding his own quite impressively. With all attention on the Human' The girl's attack would go off without a hitch. The long sword would sink into the being's armor and posibly do some damage to his bone structure as well.
The skeletol worrier's attention was then immediately brought back to the fox as one of his floating blade was quickly brought back to him in order to counter her attack, but the fox still had plenty of time to act thanks to the male's distraction.

Seeing that this was her only chance, Nera kept going towards the skeleton warrior as her mind made the greenish liquid explide from its vial, going at the same speed as the yaju to fall on Mr. Socks as if in a rain of water, the scent made the fox squint her eyes while trying to evade the floating blade with her speed.

All of Zero's instincts were telling him to flee. Zero knew that if the necromancer went to use another one of those orb attacks, everyone will be finished. Zena mentioned that she had a plan then Seki spoke to him, offering him a chance to join her and becoming the strongest aeromancer ever. Zero knew that in order to be the strongest, he'll need the legendary tome, Elin's Aeromancy Tome. This could be the perfect chance to find out what the necromancer was up to. Zena mentioned her plan and Zero started to walk forward. Not saying anything to them, knowing he might lose their trust. "First, tell me your name and what your cause is before I answer you." Zero said to her, hiding his fear of her.

As the Skeletal worrier caught his own blade and quickly did a 180 turn to chop the girl's head off. He missed with his blade but he was still able to deliver a powerful kick to the girl's side before she was able to get out of range. This wouldn't' be fetal but it would probably sting like hell for a while. The skeleton could feel it's bones starting to deteriorate, now relying mostly on the armor to move his body to prevent himself from further harming his spine.
Once the girl was knocked away by his kick, the being attempted to finish her by summoning forth a blast of dark fire towards the fox, this would have likely killed her very quickly if it wasn't' somehow avoided or blocked. However since both beings were focusing on the girl now, the worrier took it as an opening. With great speed he rushed the undead from behind and pushed his sword through the opening already made by the fox. His katana and pierced the being's spine in such a way that it wouldn't' destroy it, but it would hold him firmly in place until the sword was removed. The man had stunned the worrier but only for a short time. What the fox did next may decide the outcome of this battle.
Pine Grove - Chronomacer's Tower
The necromancer honestly had a hard time trusting the boy. As such she chose her words carefully in a way that was cryptic but would still give a general idea of why she was doing everything she did. "To save this world from it's own foolishness. We coul live in a world with no more war, no more violence, no more death. Despite everything I've spared you and your friends thus far. It would have been much easier to just kill all of you up there and go about my business down here. But I let you live. But my mercy ends here. Join me or leave.. Or will you be foolish and throw away your lives?"

Nera didn´t have much time to celebrate the small victory because as soon as she got the acid inside of the skeleton warrior, a powerful kick sent her back, bruising her ribs , if not outright breaking one of them. It took some breaths of the Yaju to recover from the kick as she used her blade to help herself get on her feet, taking the throwing knives she bought from the traders in the Pine grove and threw them at the skeleton warrior´s elbow joints, snapping the union as she spoke "You are a formidable warrior, fighting even when your body is so close to being destroyed, but as someone who follows the honor of a blade, I shall give you the chance to surrender and live for another day" she offered to him, her last throwing knife ready to be thrown and snap the skeleton´s neck.

The necro told them of her plan but it was opposite of what she has done. "Hehe hehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" Zero laughed with his right hand on his forehead and laughed upwards. "Save the world? No war? No violence? That is complete bullcrap! Attacking Sanctuary, destroying the Hero Artix's statue and what you've done here. It's the complete opposite of what you just told me!!" Zero said looking at her. "I can't take this anymore. I won't hold back anymore." He said as he draws his sword with a menacing smile and glare on him. He starts to laugh and crimson wind starts surrounding him, forming an appearance of a Dragon Jin. Claws on his hands, talons on his feet, 2 miniature wings about 1 1/2 feet long and a tail about 3 feet long and 3 horns with 2 pointing backwards from his eyes then going around his ears with one pointing upwards from his forehead. "Supreme Wind Armor: Dragorian Form." He said and lunged forward, making his sword colliding with an orb the necro made to defend. "Don't think that orb will work on me again!" Zero said with that menacing smile on him. This made the opening Zena and Braum needed but what will they do after seeing Zero like this?

Mr. socks could only move hist arms and his mouth to speak as the worrier locked locked the undead in place by manipulating his weakened spine. He could hardly move, much less avoid an attack, yet the fox woman was trying to spare him instead. The old skeleton couldn't' help but chuckle. It wasn't' the kind of laugh that was mocking or insulting towards the fox. It seemed more like he was amused. "You brought some joy to this old soul I'll give you that. But as it turns out, skeletons are already dead. As much as I would like to preserve my... Existence, It goes against the orders I've been given by my master. I'm afraid it's a fight to the end, weather i want it or not." He said as he held his dual axes in each hand, preparing for what could very well be his final attack. "Come on then. Show me the honor of a true worrier!"
Pine Grove | Chronomacer's Tower
The necromancer simply giggled and quickly clapped at the boy's display. She didnt' seem the slightest bit threatened or worried about the outcome of this fight. "Congratulations! You were able to block an attack with all the strength and force of a small pebble. Use you're head kiddo. If I fought at full power down here, the blast would cause the cave to collapse in on us and we would all be dead.... Unless..." She said as she lifted a single finger and pointed it at the dragon boy, forming dark energy on the tips of her fingers in an attack similar to the one she had used above ground, but she didn't use it against him. "Tell me, do you think you could stop a full powered projectile? or would all of your little friends die from the explosion? Even If you could, i doubt HE! can." She said as she turned the attack on Aion who was still downn and helpless to protect himself from another attack.
The necromancer knew her attacks moved too quickly for the boy to no only get between it and the man, and also block it as well. In fact it shouldn't' have been humanly possible for any to move fast enough to catch the bullet once it left her fingers. "That being said, If yo value the boy's life, I suggest all of you leave the way you came." she said, revealing the true reason why she left the boy alive all this time. Seki had known it was only a matter of time before the others caught up to him and once they did, she knew she could use him as insurance to get rid of her hunters.
Zena looked on In anger, but she kept herself under control so to not do anything stupid or provoke the necromancer. "So that's why you spared him. Cause you knew if he were dead there wouldn't be anything standing between us and you. Admit it. You're a coward!" She boldly stated as she tried to buy herself a little time to think. If Aion hadn't so foolishly rushed in by himself, they would have been able to defeat her but now things were a lot more difficult.
"And using my self control against me isnt' cowardly? War is a game. The winners are the ones who play smart, not the ones with the most pieces. And this... This is what we call... Check Mate!" She said with a devious smirk on her lips as she watched and waited for her enemies to make the next move.
