Israfel laughed, "Who's Lucifer?! My God, where are you from?" he was laughing hard from the question which he found utterly rediculous, "Lucifer- more commonly reffered to as Satan in some circles, Lord of the Underworld, even called Hades and Pluto!" he said amidst his laughter, his breathing evened out and he whiped a tear of laughter from under his eye, "I guess though if you don't know of Lucifer then it's a good thing you've learned!" he chuckled slightly before he continued, "Your next question?" he asked, assuming there was a next question.

Pendragon sighed "A long, long way away." It was a moment before he asked his next question. "What... What happened on the roof..." He hesitated, this was a rather personal question. Where as the others had been mainly buisness. "Was that... Was any of that... for real..?" He looked down. "Or... was it just an act?"

Israfel's jaw clenched at this question, then another thought rose in his mind- how was Pendragon to know if he was to lie, "Suzume's becoming more and more skilled in manipulation- it's most likely it was an act, but there's no way to be sure than to bring back the old Suzume and ask her, but why else would I be here other than to keep that from happening." Israfel wasn't sure if he had lied in what he had just said or not to be honest, but he was trying to keep Pendragon away from Suzume and if Pendragon knew that the turquoise in Suzume's gaze most likely actually wanted to be away from the darkness and even himself and wanted to be back with the other students with someone she could depend on then it would only be harder to keep Pendragon away- so Israfel was careful not to say much to reveal what he knew about Suzume in this depth.

"Last question." Pendragon said it slowly, giving himself time to finish reloading his pistol behind his back. "Are we gonna fight yet? Or just sit around like old ladies?" He leapt back from Israfel, giving himself room to fight. True, he was in bad shape. True, he didn't know what Israfel could do. But was he going to back down? No, not a chance. This is not where I die. Pendragon reminded himself. Then why am I so afraid?

Israfel stood up, the silver knuckledusters wrapped around his fists and his golden eyes flashed, "Finally..." he said with a relieved tone though it was far from true, "Though I don't see why you get to ask all the questions- Why are you so interested in knowing about Suzume?" he inquired as he got into a battle-ready stance, the blades glistened in the light as Israfel's features seemed to sharpen and a feeling befell his aura, he seemed certainly more dangerous now. Israfel wasn't a being of earth and certainly not one of heaven, still he had been sent from the realms of angels to the sulphurous fires of hell so he had to have come from some realm though what it was remained a mystery, even to Israfel.

"Sorry, that's all the time we have for today kids." Pendragon crouched down low, his fingers touching lightly against the end of Celestial. "Next up is a show for the bigger boys." His other hand still held the pistol. "It's called, how to kick butt Pendragon style." With that, Pen leapt into action. His long sword reflected the sunlight as he drew it from his sheath. Pendragon knew he couldn't survive a long drawn out conflict, so he came in hard with the first move. Leaping towards Israfel with a quick combination of diagonal slashes and stabs.

Israfel knew that sticking his hands into the attack in the stupidest attempt to block anything with the silver blades was probably the worst thing he could do so he worked on his positioning on the battlefeild. He backed up and away from the attack, matching Pendragon's speed as he made his way away from the cliff as well to get Pendragon on the disadvantage of location. He yawned slightly as he dodged with a bored expression on his face, his strides long and effortless as he matched Pendragon's movements, mocking slightly by keeping himself just within range of attack for a moment before pulling away at the last moment, a snide smile spread accross his face the entire time, "You'll have to do better than that!" he mocked through seething teeth. He truly did hate this confident stranger and would certainly have to see that later he'll break them, destroy thier human essense... right after Suzume. Now he didn't bother hide his thoughts and they were displayed plainly in his expression, his movements brought him into range till just before it was too late and he backed away before again coming just into range and backing off, his movements jerky and graceful at the exact same time.

Need something flashy to shut this guy up.
Pendragon could tell Israfel was playing for positioning. The cliff would play a major part in this battle, but not the way Israfel thought it would. Leaving Israfel with a fireball to deal with, Pendragon leapt backwards near the edge of the cliff. He scooped something up from the ground Israfel couldn't see. Then, Pendragon leapt up onto the post the rope had been connected to, and then leapt from that into the air. He was facing away from Israfel, but quickly performed a half flip so he was upside down and could see Israfel below him. His left hand drew his Katana, mystere. As Pen decended upside down, he spun around slicing wide with both blades. Flipping round just in time to land on his feet, and finishing off with a heavy handed over the head dual bladed attack.

Israfel dissapeared for a moment, as if a cloak was pulled over him and shrouded him from sight. He was still there, sure but just invisible- he was just like that, all his powers and abilities suited for whatever his one purpose and meaning was and also what made him this 'creature' and he planned to use ever power to his own advantage though he'd reveal them slowly as time traversed reality. His golden eyes studied Pendragon's style of fighting as he made sure to get out of the way, he waited a few moments into the attack, coming around behind Pendragon while still invisible. He darted in, rolling his weight around his shoulder and pulling himself down closer to the ground, the silver blades accross his knuckles slicing towards the tendons in Pendragon's heels.

The moment Israfel dissapeared, Pendragon knew he was in trouble. Even though his body was still going through the movements of an attack, his mind was working on a defence. He thought through what he would do, if he was invisible. I'd go straight in for the kill, a blade through the heart... He thought at first. No... I'm doing this all wrong, what would Israfel do? This question was harder, so again Pendragon was forced to look at it a different way. He's got one shot at taking me out of this game... To this point, he has been on the defence.... Studying me. Pendragon's flip attack finished, and he hit the ground. So, of all the moves I've done so far... In that instant it clicked, and Pendragon leaped up and spun round with a kick attack. He was sure Israfel would go for a lower body attack, so Pen made sure his legs were in the air and headed straight towards where he guessed Israfel would be.

Israfel's eyes widened as the heel of Pendragon's foot went to his face, the kick made contact to send Israfel reeling backwards and plunging back into visibility, his golden eyes shimmered maliciously. He wiped the drips of blood from his chin with a frown spread accross in his expression, 'So he DOES have some bite...' his he thought as his mind continued to furrow through other tactics and plans, he shook his head and shoulders to loosen the muscles. 'I could always turn invisible again, or a headon attack... darkness hasn't ever seemed to fail, damn! Light magic would be a hell of alot more useful right now.' his mind raced, 'Speed... I haven't gotten specks on his speed... I should work on that now!' his feet shifted from his ankles, swinging then his weight to add in the beginning of the run. He made sure to begin setting off slowly then in a burst of movement he was gone in his dash, running in to slash at Pendragon's right ribs.

Pendragon's eyes widened. He's trying to figure me out... He realized, as Israfel started racing towards him. What should I do? Does it matter if he does know? Pendragon watched Israfel's weapon come up towards his ribs. I can easily dodge it, but will that give too much away...? Israfel was coming close now, and it was decision time for Pen. Remember the plan. It doesn't matter what goes down today, screwing up his analyasis would only be an advantage for next time. Pendragon faked a move away, but held back so the blow would still just connect. Pen allowed it to just pierce enough to draw blood, gasped in pain, and leapt forward with an overhead sword attack.

Israfel pulled himself down closer to the ground which gave him enough time to get away, he put a foot in front of him and turned on it so he faced downwards and back towards Pendragon before standing straight again. He stood there now, watching. His gaze never averted from Pendragon as if he was watching something in particular, or waiting for something. He cocked one of his eyebrows, he looked towards the blood and shook his head slightly- it wasn't adding up. He shook his head again as he narrowed his eyes at Pendragon while his mind raced, though what he was thinking was a mystery- he was adding it all up, over and over, evaluating what he had learned so far and calculating what Pendragon was capable of.

Pendragon pushed off the heel of his back foot, leaping forward after Israfel and landing on his toes. He bent his elbow, and slammed the pommel of his sword towards Israfel's face. It was a brutal attack, all power and no elegance to it what so ever. Something totally not Pen. This move was all about dealing the damage, something Pen didn't normally focus on. To him, battle was a dance. The scoring blows would have their time, and Pendragon would samba and jive all over his foe until that time came. Not today. Today was all about being not Pen.

Israfel watched the attack coming, if he could bend down and then up at the right angle then he could get a headbutt into Pendragon's stomach, but then a headlock was likely to occur which wasn't good. He pulled up his hands and hit Pendragon's hands to knock off the aim of the attack, if he didn't hit hard enough then the attack would still hit and that wouldn't be good. He didn't do anything to slow down his parrying of the blow, he fealt a rattling shatter through his arm and he winced slightly with the only consoling that it would be just as hard on Pendragon. He tried to stab at Pendragon's stomach now with his free hand, "You're not going to win." Israfel sneered, his weapon headed for Pendragon's liver, then it would pull accross his abdomen to cause as much damage as possible.
