((Nuh-uh!!! He's one level higher >3 Hah!))
Before Rei could comply, her attention was forcibly drawn to 'Damon'. She spun to face the figure completely and then jumped back slightly to put distance between them. Her pose was halfway between crouching and standing, ideal for quick evasion or defensive movement. Her tail weaved very slowly from side to side and her wings were folded securely against her. She was getting so tired of this. Not physically tired, though, just... tired. Tired of Damon playing with them. Tired of not being able to see through his tricks. Tired of being so afraid. "Damon..." she managed to force out. "...shut up." Inhumanly fast- one perk of not being entirely human- Rei threw Uindo toward Damon's figure. Even if it wasn't the real him, she was sick of seeing him in any shape or form.

"What's chess but Street Fighter for pompous asses?" Estrik said, quite sarcastically I might add. "And might I say, the king you seek is on another board," he said. "And if I might add, you suck at this game anyway," Estrik retorted with a sly smile as he awaited the real Damon or whoever the hell was coming. It wasn't very hard to dodge when you knew the person's thoughts anyways. "Now, if you ever want to start playing, step in line. I got all day."

((Berstunic has a mental guard on Damon. =P Otherwise I'd be posting his personal thoughts. Of course, his mind could still be sensed and located and such, just not read.)) The liquid opened up, creating a round hole through its "torso" through which Uindo could continue on to Estrik. The liquid then fell, turning to dirt as it did. "I would, but it looks like your partner wants to do my job for me," he responded with a laugh. Then he came down from above, pointing a kunai toward Estrik's head as he came downward. "Hit or miss, you're going to love this."

((And that's why I have Estrik's magical gloves, .)) A small bubble appeared around Estrik as he yawned. Uindo collided and simply bounced off of the shield as if it were rubber. The same with Damon as he came down, except the kunai was deflected away, and if Damon kept coming through, his arm and only his arm would have been caught in the barrier, seeping through it like molasses. The eye on the black glove of his left hand opened up as if it had been awakened, while the eye on the right shut. From the left one, a tornado of darkness came out, visible only to Berstunic. In it, audible only to its target, was random voices and thoughts, able to suck away all concentration from its victim. This victim being Berstunic. After all, without the head of the telepathic snake, there is no telepathy. Or at least time to get in Damon's head before the wall was put back up. No use trying to keep out what's inside, right?

Rei formed tight fists when Uindo passed through the liquid; she wasn't worried about Estrik being hit, she didn't feel it was necessary at this point. Well... this was just annoying. After hitting the barrier, Uindo came obediently back to her, but instead of Rei retrieving the blade, it was allowed to twirl around for a moment before impaling the ground. Running. That's all she's been doing. this entire time, she's been the one keeping away as far as she could manage without actually leaving. That made the situation even more annoying.
When Damon appeared to be... well, stuck, in a loose sense of the word, Rei's crimson eyes flickered. Before she really knew what was going on, Rei crouched, bunched her muscles, and sprung, easily closing the distance and height between Damon and herself. Her intention was to knock him form the air and pin him down. Of course, in retrospect, that was a silly idea. If she did succeed, then he could either poof away, change and slip away or, Rei's favorite, change and pin her.
Dimor's own even gaze flickered as his thought process shifted. Certain elements of this battle seemed to have change... quite suddenly, actually...

Berstunic faded away quickly, vanishing from his perch quickly enough to make one doubt he was ever really there. Should he be distracted, he had taught Damon to guard his own mind, but it was much easier to fight without having to worry about your brain being vulnerable to probing. Meanwhile, Damon slowly sank through said barrier, stopping at his arm, and a puff of smoke issued up around him. When it faded, he was solid purple, and rather dead looking. An instant later, the statue exploded, partially inside the barrier though mostly outside, in a shock wave of air. A moment later, a creature resembling Berstunic came back, but now he was roughly the size of a bus. He let out a screech and flew down toward Estrik, opening his mouth.

The blast of air was to be expected; it seemed to be how Damon got out of all his tight squeezes. Blue light dug its way into the ground, rooting Estrik to the earth beneath him as the bubble 'popped'. Taking it's place was a 'slab' of energy above the Bus Creature to force the beast's way down and accelerate it towards Estrik. He simply waited for it to get within the perfect range...waiting...just waiting...and then threw the katana upwards at the Bus Creature, and then jumped and rolled to the side to avoid being eaten alive. That would have been a bad thing, now wouldn't it?

Instead of landing, Rei spread her wings after passing through the space that used to be Damon and took flight. She made low circles around the clearing. Her eyes darted in between the trees as she passed by them; left and right, up and through. Rei's crimson eyes were sharp; why couldn't this just be over with? A part of Rei's frustration came from the fact that this was her fault to begin with. When Rei passed by Dimor, their eyes met for a moment; Rei quickly diverted her gaze, but Dimor, as always, never so much as blinked.
Rei continued her circling while Estrik... did whatever it was he planned to do with Berstunic; she didn't want to be in the way, that was one monstrous amphiptere. Very quietly, she spoke to herself, eyes still peeling apart the surrounding area."Just stop hiding[/u]."[/b]

The katana passed throug the creature's neck, causing it to fade. Merely an illusion. "Look," he said to Rei, "I want to make this fair. I mean, Estrik wants to kill me too, but you've got the advantage of sight. Allow me to fix that." He appeared a few feet away, performing the hand signs for the Bringer of Darkness Jutsu.

(( D8 EEEEEEVIIIIL))
Gasping slightly, Rei's eyes came up as though to protect her head before she came to a skidding halt on the ground. 'No, please... not this again...' From her place on the ground, Rei rolled onto her back- arms still crossed over her face- and carefully shifted into a crouch. Heart racing with adrenaline and nerves, Rei slowly lowered her arms and opened her eyes. She wished she hadn't. Nothing significantly changed from when her eyes were closed to when they were open.
Rei couldn't see.
Well... she could, but not really. The most she could make out at a close enough range was what appeared to be shadows within shadows. Too disoriented to move, Rei remained crouched where she was. 'Estrik...' If she wasn't so freaked, she may have laughed. '...I can't see.'

"Well, I certainly don't know how that feels like," Estrik said sarcastically. "We've got a, y'know, telepathic connection here. You can just see like me," Estrik said to Rei, sighing. He just ran towards Damon, like a full on charge. However, as he swung downwards with his blade, a telekinetic slash from above appeared as well, both his sword and the psychic energy heading for Damon.
Luckily for Rei, his magical sight was also able to enter her mind for a bit, allowing her to ignore the shadows of physical sight and simply see with her mind's eye. The living things appeared blue, with red outlines surrounding them, seemingly predicting each movement. Strange thing was, Damon would appear blue, but Estrik had a small, purplish tint to him. That wasn't good at all, at least, not for a while.

Damon spun to the side, proving he had at least some ability in close combat. He stopped against a tree, purple armor beginning to form around him. "I'll tell you what. You get one free swing. If my armor succeeds, you surrender. If it fails, I shall either die or do the same." The armor was increasingly think, now to the point that he could hardly move due to the weight. "Deal?"

Rei's eyes stared at the ground in front of her, wide and unseeing. She had forgotten about the connection, and had clouded herself with too much panic to focus on it. After a few moments of not trying to see, Rei saw. 'Wow...' It was... interesting. 'Is this... how you see all the time?' Moving along on all fours with gracefully odd, animal-like movements, Rei found her way over to Estrik. She immediately tuned in to what Damon was saying; even though she hated it, his voice forced her to listen. 'You aren't going to take the deal... are you?'

"Rei, let me tell you a little something something about deals. There was once a fiddle-player named Johnny who made a deal with the devil, that if he won in a fiddle playing contest, he would get a golden fiddle. But if the devil won, Johnny would lose his soul. And do you know what happened? Johnny showed Lucifer that he was the best that ever been," Estrik said, with deliberate incorrect grammar. "Va bene," Estrik said in response to Damon. The sword still in a non-solid state swung around in his hand cockily and vainly. Estrik sliced downwards, attempting to cut Damon in a symmetrical line with the almost non-existent blade.

At the same time Estrik swung, several things happened. One, small explosions sounded off in many directions. Two, from some of those explosions, kunai knives came flying toward Estrik, though no life forms had thrown them. And three, nothing really happened with the armor. It just stood there, a hollow shell at this point.
