"Sir, it's as you expected, Nathan Smith and Warden Chase are compromised",

"I see" comes the reply,

"Sir what comes next?",

"There's no need to panic, i'm on my way to the battlegrounds",

"But sir!, You're currently on protected!",

"On the contrary Cain, i have out GOC here" Dexter grins malevolently.

Roger dawns his mask bluring to Raven and Duke's front as he enacts his Pseudo Domain, the rippling force counteracting Lingyun's Domain, Lingyun's spear drop non the less, Roger whips a seemingly normal kick, 'Force' in the form of a human shilouette follows closely forcing Lingyun to spin his feet then dig deep and twist his torso as his spear and Roger's strike connect, Roger gives distance tossing the recorder to Raven,

"What's that?", Duke questions,

"Our hail mary" Raven responds,

"NATHAN SMITH!!!, WARDEN CHASE!!!" He screams, Nathan who was currently engaged in battle gives distance from his three opponents catching the recorder, Nathan gives it a play, Raven watching smirks as he watches the teens handsome features contort in fury, Warden noticing this blurs to his side with Tobi following close, picking on the conversation he realises what Dexter had done,

"I'm going to kill him!" He roars,

"Not unless we win this war" Jayson replies. Roger engages Lingyun as Raven and Duke blur to the group,

"Tobi you assist Bradley and Dan, we need to get back to taking down that Chinese bastard" Duke states,

"Change of plans" Jayson replies pointing into the distance,

"It seems they failed" Yanick states,

"Not quite" Raven replies, their far from being at full strength,

(We always knew this might be the outcome of one of them is capable of enacting a pseudo Domain, by the looks of it only one of them can, and as of this instant, i doubt they can) he quickly assess.

Warden blurs to the DEALERS duo's position, Duke, Nathan and Raven take Lingyun while Yanick, Jayson, James and Tobi face of with Cain and Abel.

Cain squares up against Tobi who insists to meet the giant in combat alone, the remaining three facing of against the diminutive lean in stature teen.

Warden blurs behind the man similar to Tobi, crashing his fist into the man's livet before a Striker empowered kick to the man's jaw from behind, dropping him unconscious instantly,

"Now who's got the advantage" he states staring down the remaining of the Chinese trio with a feral grin, "let's dance!"

Roger gives space, bluring away from his opponent, this time moving off the battle field, Lingyun's move to pursue is interrupted by Nathan's clawed strike, ripping the area before him to shreds, Raven and Duke the flanks respectively, with Nathan taking point, the three empowered by 'Force', the battle erupts.

Lingyun's Domain presses against the three making the simple act of moving a burden in itself, within one's Domain they are God, the only hindrance with a pseudo Domain, the avid level of conscious control it requires to be maintained despite it's lower output and disorganized structure.

Lingyun within his pseudo Domain is tethered to every point which his Imprinted 'Force' exists courtesy of the characteristics of his 'Force' arts, the execution of this is devastating, Lingyun blurs to Raven's right, swinging his spear in a sweeping motion, Raven moves to react,

{It's a trap!} Silver chimes just as his Spear speeds up, Raven replies similarly to his actions taken against the Chinese youth earlier, the release of compressed 'Force' speeding him up to math the spears swing when to his astonishment the spear is devoid of momentum, Raven with his Combination technique centered on his Enforcer, Bone Armour he re structures his bones moving his knee cap and contorting his muscles behind his leg allowing for him to deliver a Striker empowered kick despite his form, Lingyun reacts giving space as he meets Nathan's clawed strike with his spear while stamping his heel to meet Duke's blow, Raven lands bluring to his opponents side with a heavy right hook, Lingyun spins his spear swinging at Duke forcing Raven to kill his momentum while transitioning to strike Duke as the spears flaming blade tears the space which Duke was at moments ago, this displaces Raven but Lingyun would be unable to capitalise as Nathan engages him furiously, with little fear if retaliation.

(Enough!) Lingyun congeals hos pseudo Domain, his will forcing Raven and Duke nearly to their knees, Nathan tenses his thighs as the asphalt beneath him splinters like pressured ice. Lingyun, bluring faster than even their Shifter eyes can see he's beside Nathan in a flash,

"I can finally get serious" he muses, as his pseudo Domain empowered frame crashes into Nathan's side, and despite the latters ATTUNED arts empowered his ribs give way to superior strength as he's bulleted away, he turns to Raven who meets his eyes with a glare,

"Taking one pseudo Domain empowered ATTUNEMENT level Shifter must have skewed your sense of reality, if i wanted this fight over from this start you'd be dead" he states,

"A distraction" Raven replies, "you don't give to shits about the outcome of this war do you?" Raven smiles,

"Whoever must be removed to achieve my goal" Lingyun replies with an impassive gaze, as he raises his spear to end the bout.

"You're not wrong" Raven states out of the blue, his smile still fixed in place,

{I can tell what you're thinking Kid...},

(What do you think?) Raven mules,

{Do it!} Silver shouts.

"At least you know of your idiocy" Lingyun replies as his Spear is lifted higher,

"You're not right either!" Raven roar empowering the 'Heart of Jotunheim', consuming cold rages from his frame intent on engulfing all, the world itself if given reign, Lingyun moves to give distance instinctively, Raven and Co would have none if it, Duke spears him locking him in a vice grip as Raven blurs holding on to him, the cold goes beyond infiltrating his body as the very air is being frozen, even 'Force' itself, bot Imprinted and Ambient.

{Raven!} Silver shouts through their freezing link,

(On it!) Raven replies, with a roar of herculean effort to cut of his link to the heart. The already raging cold finds no calm though, raging restlessly with the hunger of winter, the need to consume, devour, Lingyun attempts a pulse wave, immediately regretting such an attempt as like a virus the cold penetrates his being on every level of existence, he screams as his frame vibrates in joint pain and shock.

"Go!!!" Raven shouts pushing Duke back, he ejects every ounce of 'Force' in his body, for upon their experiments this was the only way to survive even drawing on the 'Heart' at his current Advancement stage, the more he allowed to permeate his frame through the link, the shorter the time he could go without cleansing his being, nevertheless the cold released in a wave explodes knocking all in it's way away, Lingyun frozen in place, his skin cold to the touch with flakes of ice clear to the eye drops unconscious. Raven though bearly consious is also unable to find his feet as he's layed twisting in blinding pain.
