"Revelli... Don't listen to him..." Rogue murmurs, his hold on her; lock tight as she shakes, pushing forward and backwards. Swinging her arms wildly, causing her Rogue's arms to loosen, but his determination to bring his beloved back causes his arms to tighten again.

The uneven cobbled ground making it even worse as she shoves him around. Her nails digging into his attire the best they can at the awkward angle.

"Rogue! You get her back. I'll deal with him!" Sting calls out, his fists brightening to a painful amount as he launches himself forward, aiming straight towards Mard Geer. Trying his best to push him as far back to give his comrade room.

Rogue nods towards Sting, pushing the rage down for now, grunting as a claw from her attire rips and tears at his attire. The sheer size of her attire and sharpness causing it incredibly difficult to keep her down without getting herself hurt.

And with her actions, she's heading in the direction of physically injuring herself which Rogue won't allow.

Getting her arm free, Revelli swings it round, smacking it into Rogue's shoulder catching him off guard. His arms loosening as he slides to the side, Revelli leaning down, pressing her hand onto the stone ground and flinging herself away from him.

Her attire swishing wildly as she turns to face him. Narrowing her eyes as she cracks her fingers, toes curling. "Revelli!" Rogue yells, pain evident in his voice as his body deactivates his dragon force. Not wanting to use up too much of his magic before making Geer pay.

"My name is Shirawa." She replies coolly, cold eyes staring at Rogue who appears behind her, pushing his hand out firmly into her spine. A gasp leaving her lips causing Rogue to grimace. Her body slams to the ground and her attire ripping and shredding from the sharp cobble.

"I won't call you by that name. Because that isn't your name. Revelli is your name." Rogue states, watching a slight flash of recognition in her eyes yet it vanishes almost immediately. An annoyed yell of Sting filtering the air.

"Rogue! Knock her out or something!" Sting growls out, dodging the vines that fired from the ground. Detest lining his features as his body tenses, fists clenched at the thought of harming her. Yet he knows it's the only option.

"I'll bring Revelli back. No matter what. Even if it means knocking you out, and giving me time to kill the bastard that did this to you..." Rogue snarls, only to be cut off by a loud, eye wracking roar. His eyes widening as both their heads tilt up to the sky.

A deep black dragon roaring again. "Acnologia..." Rogue speaks surprised. The dragon beginning to fire a strong pulsing magic around the ground, indenting, the ground and strong enough which Rogue knows none of them can withstand if it touches them.

His head snaps towards Revelli who's eyes are wide with an open mouth as her body turns to keep the dragon in sight. Pure awe in her stance and eyes. Of course, she specializes in animals, and dragons are classed as a species of it.

"Shirawa... Ignore the beast." Geer speaks with a hint of amusement in his tone, obviously enjoying the amusement that lingers on her. At his words, she snaps her mouth closed, turning back towards Rogue who sighs, haven't missed his chance.

Yet Rogue finds it too difficult to aim for her.

"Revelli... I know you're in there somewhere! Fight against the demon they've tried to make you!" Rogue yells out, his fists laced with shadows as he sprints forward, Revelli doing the same, yet her claws the only thing she is using for defence.

"I know you can do it!" Her eyes flash again, her steps faltering but easily catching herself from smashing to the ground and continuing straight for him. Regret and sadness reflecting in her eyes.

She's in there, her eyes never lie... Yet the demon is left, controlling the remainder of her body. It's given him hope to have his beloved back soon.

Rogue's body contorts into shadows before materializing a metre from her, his hands gripping firmly on her wrists, stopping her claws from reaching his skin to cause bloodshed. Her narrows narrowed on his as she pushes forward, attempting her best to knock him over, yet failing.

"Her strength is within her animals... Yet.. Why hasn't she summoned them?" Rogue mutters, his eyes flashing with recognition. "Revelli! I know you're in there! You aren't bringing out your animals as they shouldn't be effected!" He exclaims, desperately.

"Wrong..." Revelli murmurs, a playful grin lighting up her lips, surprising Rogue as a large magic circle spreads around the ground behind her. Rogue knowing all too well which she's summoning by the yellow, red and orange flecks rising off it.

A large caw breaks the silence, A demonic form of Ressia appear out of it, instead of her natural burning body is a body coaxed in shadows. Her eyes narrowing on Rogue's hold on her master, swiping her beak down, breaking the skin contact between the two.

Ressia pushing Revelli back who frowns, a nail on her left hand scraping her other hand repeatedly, ripping open the rip and giving a exit for blood to seep at a slow pace. Ressia caws again.

Rogue sighs, giving an apologetic look. "I'm sorry Ressia... You'll probably hate me after this." Rogue mutters, his body taking a stance unknown to Ressia who's eyes widen as Rogue takes a deep breath before inhaling sharply through his mouth.

Ressia's shadows being sucking into Rogue's mouth. Well, it is natural for a shadow dragon slayer to eat shadows. Even if it means his beloved's animal who might hate him after the event.

A snap of her beak in pain as her shadows get devoured. Soon vanishing back into the confines of Revelli's mind to regenerate. Her eyes still wide as the demon tries to figure out what just took place to one of her animals, and Rogue gaining more power from the shadows he consumed.

"Summon Another." Rogue calls out. Testing to see if his theory is correct. One he's had since the moment she didn't bring out her animals in the beginning of their battle. "Revelli would summon more of her animals." He continues, her body shaking in response, clinking her claws together as if thinking.

"You can't." Judging by her facial look, Rogue knows he's correct. "Ressia's burns a bright flame, you were able to coax that into shadows to be more of your standards, yet, her other animals aren't like that... You couldn't change them to obey you in such a way." He finishes.

Revelli's body shakes furiously, her eyes on the ground. Sprinting forward, Rogue's body vanishes into the shadows, his Shadow Drive activated as he appears behind her. Unexpectedly knocking her feet out from underneath her.

Pinning her barely moving body to the ground. He breathes deeply, raising one of his hands up, ready to slam it into a pressure point on her spine to knock her out. Her head turning to the side as the sharp wind whips her hair out of the way.

His eyes widening as he stops his hand metres from her pressure point. Crystal tears sliding down her cheeks. "I'm sorry... Rogue..." She sobs, her eyes body tense and a gurgling sound renounced at the back of her throat. Rogue's throat clogs up, leaning down and pressing a lingering kiss on her tear stained cheek.

"Don't worry, Revelli... Rest... I'll deal with the bastard who hurt you..." Rogue whispers, slamming his hand onto the point and watching as her body falls limp.

"I'll kill him..."
