[b]My left arm flops to the floor, in addition to some of my torso, and as your swing carries through, Stratos kicks your knee in, forcing you down. Stratos reaches over you and stabs again at the arm holding the spear-with-demon-blade, aiming at your shoulder joint.[/b]

[spoiler]....not a spear. Haha it was a spear. And then when I dismantled the staff part to reveal the possessing sword I twisted off the spear head. Lol[/spoiler] *Maya falls to her knee and screams as her arm is cut off at the shoulder. Both eyes are black. But they begin to fade to the normal red eye/grey eye as the sword is removed from her person. A raspy metallic guttural voices screeches from the back of her throat. She leaps forward desperately. Grabbing the sword handle in her mouth. She crouches down and leaps forward. Shadow tendrils wrap around your legs tightly. The top of her blade flying towards the center of your chest with a downward angle suggesting she means to cut you in half. The black possessed eyes are fully back and ringed with dancing, winged shaped blue flames. [spoiler]My next response will be full possession.[/spoiler]

[b]Another wave of metal flows over Stratos, shielding him. It's exterior is jagged and bristling with sharp points.[/b] [i]God! Just drop the sword![/i] [b]The wall explodes outwards into large shards[/b]

*the sword pierces through the wall and it's shards, still heading straight for Stratos. But the blast knocks Maya down and back. Her body riddled with shrapnel. She groans and staggers up to inspect her last blow, one arm missing and the other slowly dropping back down after being forced away from the swords presence.* [b]Nooo! Give it back! I. Need. It![/b] *Maya staggers forward in attempt to regain the sword and it's hold on her. Craving it. But she falls to the ground, weak from blood loss. But in her mind she's sure that the sword has done a great deal of damage in that blow*

[b]Stratos staggers to his feet, the blade lodged directly in his midsection, with only a thin strip connecting his remaining arm to his legs. He walks over to his sword and rips it from its place, and holds it to the side, un burdened by its weight. He looks down at himself, then at you.[/b] [i]This... This has been fun.[/i] [b]Stratos leaps forward and flips the sword over his head, bringing it down towards you[/b]

*the last vestiges of the demon that had been slowly possessing Maya, exerts its remaining self to protect his only possible host. With a screech from unconscious lips, Maya's body brings about the discarded shield that lay on the ground and brings it around and smacks the sword aside. Her eyes drain of the blackness. She wakes up enough, and strains with the last bit of adrenaline given by the demon's fear, to use the spikes on the shield to sever the last strip on Stratos body.* [b]Thank... You...[/b] *she gasps before her head falls back into a deep unconsciousness.* [spoiler]that's the end of the fight for my character. I think I might cry... Lel[/spoiler]

[b]Stratos' legs fall down, lifeless, while the torso with single arm remaining just kinda follows the sword through the air as it lands on your limp body. It impales you, pinning you to the ground, and lets out a final call, bringing a last lighting bolt down upon you.[/b]
