Cyrus POV

Yet again, I can't do anything, not even touch this woman, as I'm sent flying through another wall, what's with this place and walls, it has endless walls, it seems.

I jump up and begin to run, but I'm lifted into the air and thrown against the floor, being held down. I push as hard as I can but I can't, my breath being pushed out of me by the pressure.

She laughed as she saw this. "Look at the Phoenix, wallowing in his own agony. How amusing!" She flexed her hand and made me fly to her.

As she stopped me right in front of her, she stared into my eyes, and her grin grew. "I would kill you, but he made me swear you were his." she said as she looked over her shoulder.

I glance behind me to see a man. He was about the same height as me, but he looked a bit more mature, maybe a bit older than me. He smiled as he saw me.

"Put him down, Venus. I told you he's mine." He said with a dark voice.

Venus made a pout face. "Aaaw. But I wanted to play more." She dropped me as I backed away from her, getting a good distance between both of them.

This is bad, I'm facing two of them! A Telekinetic and a strong looking guy vs me doesn't sound like a fair match up. I need to get them separated.

Another man walked in, Kronos, from the other side of the room. He grinned at me, standing next to his comrades. Scratch that, three vs one is totally unfair!

"Those puny two armor men weren't a good match for me." He laughed. Anger pulsed in me, making me want to rush forward and kick this guy's ass, but his friends would kick my ass easily. I sigh and relax a bit, I need to stay calm if I'm gonna beat these-

Kronos suddenly grabbed Venus's neck, and stabbed her with something. Everyone in the room seemed surprised, but relief flooded into me to see Kronos turn into Chelsea within a second, one of her needles in Venus's neck.

Venus gagged, and flexed her hand, making Chelsea fly back into a wall. I expected the man standing next to her to help, but he stood there, with a blank face.

Chelsea stood up and ran at her again, as Venus tried to flex her hand again, Chelsea threw a needle into it, making her gasp from the pain and soon Chelsea implanted her boot into Venus's gut.

Esdeathe soon was behind me, tapping me on the shoulder while staring down at the mysterious man. "She's got her, let's take on this one." She said, pulling out her rapier.

I take out my sword as well and face the man, who is now staring at us. He smiles like he just heard a good joke. "Well well we'll, I was going to take you two one on one, but I suppose this makes it fair." He said.

"Fair? Who the hell are you!" I yelled at him over the explosions around the palace.

By now the rebels should be attacking, let's hope they can take over the city before we're done here, I don't want to be wounded in a war. Around me flames start to form, and Esdeathe begins to make icicles aiming at the man.

"Me? I am what you should fear, Cyrus." He said while crossing his arms, and facing his body to us.

Esdeathe sent one of her icicles forward, but the man's hand moved so quickly I didn't even see it, he caught the icicle and crushed it, smiling.

"My name is Azul, the person who has the newest Teigu." He laughed as he clenched his hands, and lightning appeared. It sparked around him and destroyed the ground around him.
