"No... you are." Cynder hissed back as reiatsu enclosed upon her, as the Hollow took control. Under the slight shroud, Hollow Cynder bounded up and pumped her wings, surging up to Avialis and clutching his arms with her fore paws before he could react.
"Missed me!?" Hollow Cynder roared, then force fed Avialas a stream of Shadow Breath. The Ether Lord screamed in pain and fell as Hollow Cynder released him. The Hollow Dragon flew back down to Garrett/Varion and Ryouki
"Ok, probably a bad question to ask, but are you two all right?" Hollow Cynder inquired, keeping an eye on Avialis in case he got back up.

"Nnrgh... you?! But how?!" The Wind Lord hissed angrily.
"Bah! It'll take more than a few thousand volts to keep me down!" Garret snorted, rising to his smoking feet.
Ryuoki simply gave a snort in response before turning back to Avialis, then growled,
"The Ether Lord Avialis, the fastest of his kind and holds the ability to manipulate ions in the nearby air, creating electrical currents. Not to mention he's a wily little SoB."
Avialis cackled, then electricity almost shrouded his form before he launched forward, slamming into Hollow Cynder, sending thousands upon thousands of volts into her lithe frame. He then stabbed his claws into the Hollow,but failed to keep his grip as Ryouki's talons lit up in a bright green glow, then streaked across Avialis's back and tore him from his victim. Garrett cracked his neck, then muttered to Varion,
"Oy... you said there was one more ability I hadn't used yet... right?"
Avialis had risen back to his feet, the wounds on his back trying to regenerate, but failing to do so. Along with the charred region that used to be his face...

"Looks like you won't need it, the Shadow Breath seems to have made his regeneration come to a screeching halt! Looks like he isn't much of a threat at all!" the Hollow cackled at the observation, then sent another stream his way, catching a quater of his wing. Hollow Cynder grinned madly and walked towards the Ether Lord, confidence in her stride.
"Gee, and here you probably thought only Varion could disable you this much, or even out right kill you..." Hollow Cynder cooed as she stopped a few feet short, black flames of the Shadow Breath leaking out of her maw.
"Now, I can either kill you here nice and slow, or snap all your limbs and leave you for dead while Varion here cleans up... Course, seeing as you are the fastest Cromian, I might have trouble physically catching you... Well, there's always another dose of the Shadow Breath ready."
She turned to look at Garrett/Varion, "You wanna kill him, or can I?"
She had forgetten her proximity to the Cromian though, and he might be able to use that, seeing as she didn't have an eye on him anymore.

Dozens of 'vents' suddenly opened up on Avialis's upper torso as energy began gathering toward the Cromian, and he turned one side of his face towards Cynder's back, then hissed,
"I'll... I'll show you what happens.... when you turn your back... on an Ether Lord...."
He abruptly bounded to his feet as he screamed,
"SABRE TEMPEST!!!"
A torrent of electrified 'wind' tore forth from the Ether Lord's chest and ripped into the Hollow, rending flesh from bone and sending blood spattering all through the sky before it flash-cauterized and a very haggard Hollow was left in a wind-scoured trench, the wind dying down into a mid-strength breeze. Avialis panted, then in a flash of movement on-par with Solranous's Flash Step, was upon the Hollow as his right arm broke free of its metallic plating. The limb then split into dozens of purple-gray tendrils, of which were then stabbed into the otherworldly dragoness. Avialis's wounds began healing as the tendrils writhed deeper and deeper into the wyrm, hissing,
"Your corpse will feed m- AUGH!"
He was cut off as one of the Gemini Blades was hurled into his chest, and he hopped off of Cynder. Varion's plating had turned a glowing red, and his largest plates now flared outwards. Energy seeped into the air as Garrett rumbled,
"Overdrive... initiated."
"It's time you learned what I- no, we are truely capable of..." Varion boomed.
Garrett roared as he threw his arms to the sides, and the twin rods on his back suddenly flipped upwards, then rocketed off into the air. He then threw his arms upward, sending the each triangular blade on either elbow into the air as well.
"This is the weapon whose fury echoes through the sky..."
"This is the instrument of our wrath..."
The twin rods had magnetically snapped together into a 'staff' while the twin blades had pulled together to form a larger, single arrowhead-shaped blade with a green, glowing oval in the center. Both pieces then pulled together to form what appeared to be a 10-foot long spear, which then fell back to earth and was drawn to Varion's hand in several strands of crackling energy. Garrett swept the weapon to the side as his eyes widened in anger, and he roared,
"THIS IS THE MANIFESTATION OF MY DETERMINATION!"
The blade at the end snapped in half once more, but slid backwards along the staff until the top of the green oval was exposed. A spike-shaped protrusion of energy flared forth from the weapon as Varion's jets all lit up, and he finished,
"HEEEAAAVEEN...."
Avialis snorted, growling,
"You'll have to hit me with it fir-"
Ryouki's tail coiled around the Ether Lord's legs, having snuck up behind the biomechanical creature. The avian muttered,
"Oh bugger..."
"BREEEAAAAAKEEEEERR!!!!!!" Garrett finished.
Flying forward, the very air warped around the armored teen before Ryouki bounded upwards, releasing his grip on Avialis at the last moment. The blade of energy pierced through Avialis's chest in a burst of slagged metal and charred flesh as Avialis groaned,
"F-forgive me.... master..."
The energy blade fluctuated for a moment, then flared outwards as Avialis gave his dying screech. A massive burst of green energy, every immaterial ounce of the Cromian's energy, ruptured forth and enveloped the Lord of Wind in a violent wave of fury. The smoke began to clear several moments later as the Heaven Breaker slid back into place, then 'disintergrated' back into its seperate parts and onto Varion's form. No sign was left of Avialis as Varion was disengaged, and Garrett's smoking form collapsed, wheezing,
"D-damn... that was cool... you o-okay, Cynder?!"

(OOC:
Priceless humor! *cackles*)
Hollow Cynder grunted in pain, looking at her cauterized wounds and sighing.
"I've... been better... Unfortunately this damage is too severe for little Cynder to take the body back, you and your friends won't be talking to her again until I recover from that attack..." the Hollow admitted sourly.
The dragoness hauled herself back to her feet, having collasped after the Sabre Tempest was finished, and cringed openly.
"damn... he really tore me a new one... serves me right..."
Hollow Cynder shook her head in disgust, and just waited there, not sure what they should do right now.
(OOC: Please forgive me, been having to play a bit of catch up at school, now I'm trying to get ahead of the ball game so things don't slip up again like this)

((Ah, t'is cool. School takes its toll on everyone... *pokes a constantly-bulging forehead-vein*))
Garrett rubbed a burn on his arm, wincing as he replied,
"Well... if need be, we can-ow - take you back to the Abandonded District... see if Sol can't do something about your condition."
Varion looked at the burn, then sighed.
He's not as durable as Akira was... almost, but not quite.
Ryouki gave another sigh, then held his arm up. There were several gouges in the armor, all of which were leaking a phospherent blue.... blood? Ryouki snorted, then turned to the Hollow for a response.

(OOC: Phosperant blue? ... I know its unlikely, forgive my paranoia, but I do hope that's not Phazon...)
Hollow Cynder slowly shook her head.
"I can sense that Solranous is already locked in another battle. The guy never seems to get a break...
Hollow Cynder grumbled to herself, then continued, "Atempting to get aid from him is probably not worth the effort right now. Don't worry about me, I'll live regardless. It's hard to put a Hollow down..."
The dragoness sighed to herself and looked around, as if deciding where to go.

((Ryouki: If anything with so much as a hint of Phazon EVER comes near me, I F*CKING INCINERATE IT!!! *gives Xeno the crazy eye* Talon: 0_o down, boy!))
Garrett shrugged, placing his hands behind his head.
"I dunno about you, but I'm headin' back to that hot spring... I hurt even more now!"
He dove back into the steaming, boiling water with a sigh of content, and Ryouki stared upwards at the afternoon sky. His eyes narrowed at the barely-visible moon, and he asked,
"Hey... Hollow. Have you seen or sensed Khimera lately... like, at all?"

((Xeno: EEEK! *flys away at top speed*
Myrr: ... *grumbles*))
Hollow Cynder arched an eyebrow under the part of her mask that formed.
"No... not really... Why? You think someone's taken him out of the picture?" the Hollow responded.
'If he's gone... then who took him out?' she mused to herself. 'This could prove to be an interesting turn of events'
'Maybe... but who could deal with that much versatility...?'
The Hollow left little Cynder's question unanswered.

Ryouki's eyes narrowed at the celestial orb, then shook his head.
"No... I don't think someone took him out. I think he's preparing for something..."
His 'scowl' deepened, and he muttered,
"There's been.... something wierd happening up there... I can't put my name on it however..."
He sighed, then shook his head.
"I suggest if you catch any whiff of that Scourge freak, tell Solranous, hell, tell anyone you can reach, immedeately."
He grumbled, then took a running jump into the air.
"I'm going to go talk to O'Malley about this. I'm sure he can shed some light on the situation..." The biomechanical wyrm stated.
With that, he rocketed out of the area, leaving a now-sleeping Garrett and a confused Varion to the Hollow.

"Don't worry, that's what I planned on, idiot..." Hollow Cynder said, muttering the last part below hearing range. She casted a glance to the hot springs, and seemed to be considering slipping into one.
"Oh what the hell could it hurt? I'm not exactly a normal Hollow." she decided, trudging over and submerging under the water completely, before lifting her head back up, her tail laying on the edge of the spring.
"Wow... No wonder Cynder likes to come by here to loosen up... damn..."
The Hollow seemed content with just laying her head down on the rim of the spring, eyes closed as if she were going to fall asleep soon.

Varion grumbled to himself,
"Buncha lazy bums is all anyone around here is..."
His teenage host was still asleep, a flush coming to his cheeks as he slid into the water a bit more. Varion was silent, then stated,
"I thought you weren't supposed to fall asleep in hot tobs or the like..."
((Runnin' out of idears....))

Hollow Cynder cracked an eye open and grumbled.
"Yeah, yeah... Alright... I'll make sure he doesn't drown..."
The Hollow reluctantly hauled herself out of the hot spring she was in and trudged over to the one Garrett was in, purposely coming dangerously close to stepping on Varion as she plopped down near Garret's side of the hot spring he was in and keeping a forepaw on his shoulder to hold him up. Looking away from them, Hollow Cynder released a spurt of normal fire in annoyance.
"damn kid better wake up soon before I decide 'to hell with it' and just let him die... Not like it really matters..." Hollow Cynder grumbled, then brought her free paw to her forehead, cringing.
"Ouch... You know I didn't mean that Cynder..."
"Never hurts to make sure with you." the little wyrmling answered back, unseen eyes narrowed like a hawk's.
Hollow Cynder sighed to herself.
(OOC: I just watch the Ichigo vs Byakuya fight in English, and his lines there, and maybe the Japanese version, have me wondering, just what are Byakuya's thoughts on Solranous?)

((Byakuya: Hmph. Beneath my notice. *pauses as Mayuri is seen running by* ...If I were you, I'd be more worried about what the R&D division thinks... apparently you haven't talked to your captain lately.))
Garrett snorted awake shortly after Hollow Cynder placed her claw on him, then lightly shrugged the appendage off. He sat back up as Varion grumbled at the Hollow for almost stepping on him, and muttered an almost inaudible 'thanks'. He looked up at the sky and recalled the date, then his eyes narrowed.
"Sh*t.... it's December..." He muttered.
He sighed, closing his eyes as he placed a hand over his face.
((Mayruri: *'grins'* Good. He doesn't need to talk to Hitsugaya...))

((Solranous: Uh, I'm sure I already know what they think about me. That's why I'm avoiding going to Soul Society to talk with Captain Hitsugaya, not to mention the whole Anti-Spiral thing doesn't seem to have fully blown over right now... Oh f*** it, I'll risk my neck to see just what kind of insanity is going on up there. First I've got Zaraki probably trying to hound me after our fight got interrupted, though the setting was pretty much my fault... Now I've got Mayuri after me... How much more attention from the captains am I going to attract at the end of all this?))
Hollow Cynder rolled her eyes, "Just be glad Varion said something or I would’ve let you drown..."
Hollow Cynder nibbled her lip, wondering what was so important about December, and not coming up with anything. She didn't ask though, and glanced over her injuries, which had healed sufficiently. The Hollow sighed to herself, and the mask suddenly broke, with normal Cynder returning to the forefront.
"Ah... unless somebody still wants to talk to me, I'll be going now." the onyx wyrmling said, starting to walk away.
