Cage walked away from the nearing foes. His moves were ineffective no matter what he did, so he might as well try to stop them. Moving as far as he dared, her ordered his cards to strike the same fairy.

"Things might take a while here, so let's hurry and clean up this mess, shall we?" Crouching, Duke loosened the ties on he shoes a bit. He rolled to lightly balance on the balls of his heels then sprang up to bounce on his toes a few times. "And what's a battle if it ain't fun?"

Duke activates S-Ability: Just for Kicks. Duke gains haste status!

"Now, who to attack?" Duke pondered, tapping his heels on the ground. He grinned and dashed forward. A few steps head him positioned beside on of the fairies. He flipped and kicked to fairy twice before dashing again. He used his momentum to climb a few steps up the bridge wall before kicking off, crashing both heels into the fairy's head.

Duke moves to C4. Duke attacks Heart! Two hits! 12 dmg each!
Duke moves to B3. Duke attacks Heart! Two hits! 12 dmg each!

Damn things, she was unable to move now and could only watch the battle unfold. So far, things seemed to be looking well, no real problems except herself being restrained.

Spades takes 38 Dmg!

Spades KO!

Heart takes 34 Dmg!

Heart KO!

Enemy Phase.

Ace moves to F4.

Half of their ranks had already been wiped out. It was time to get serious. Ace zoomed over to the boy with the water stigma that another fairy had given him and struck him hard in the side with his sword. However, he wasn't done with just that. His sword became covered in a film of water and he thrust it into Roger before flying back causing the sword to slam into everyone behind him also. As he ripped his sword out, the skewered enemies were sent sprawling back to their original positions.

Ace attacks Roger! 9 Dmg! (ATK)

Roger evades Confusion!

S-Ability Aqua Ghost activates!

Ace uses Aqua Driver on Roger! 20 Water Dmg! WEAKNESS!! (ATK)

Evan is also hit! 10 Water Dmg! (ATK)

MP: 18/40

Diamond casts Water on Duke! 28 Water Dmg! DESHELL!! (INT)

MP: 43/65

Diamond was not pleased with the man who had brutally assaulted her other fairy friend, so she decided to let him have it. With a snap of her fingers, a sphere of water appeared above Duke's head and crashed down into him. The fairy snickered and moved to the center of the bridge. She snapped her fingers again and suddenly, four panels of glass appeared around her and closed in on her. She seemed fine with the turnout though, so it must have been bad news for the party.

Diamond moves to D4.

S-Ability Aquarium activates!

All surrounding cells become Glass Cells! [Glass Cells: See S-Ability Aquarium in Enemy Profiles. Glass cells can be destroyed by a critical hit or Earth elemental attack.]

Roger attacks Ace! 12 Dmg! (ATK)

Roger quickly slashed back at the fairy fighter with his greatsword before backing off. That water attack had done a lot more damage to him; it must have been something that fairy had done before it was decimated. Roger retreated for now to prevent further injury; he feared pain, even though he often had to assault himself to access power. It was a price he was starting to get used to, but that wouldn't stop his legs from shaking now as he backed away.

Roger moves to I5.

The cards struck the fairy not surrounded by Glass walls. It seemed like a better idea, and if that one was trapped in time, then it would make getting rid of the other fairy that much easier. And so the cards struck the fairy in front, the effects possibly affecting the foe.

"Come on," Duke protested, rapping a knuckle on the glass. "Is this really fair?" He Slammed the glass twice before running over to slam it again at a different location. He briefly considered to making faces, but that would be childish, and a fly imitation would just be stupid... and painful.

Diamond casts Waterna on Evan!

MP: 35/65

Evan becomes Weak against the Water element!

As the boy with the greatsword decided to put some distance between himself and the fairies, Diamond's gaze fell upon a different male with two blades. She winked at him, but that was all. It was like nothing happen, though her magic was slowly shredding away Evan's resistance to the water element that she so favored to use.

Roger moves to F5.

Roger scooted past the sealed Ryu and sidled up next to the stopped fairy fighter. "I-It shouldn't have to c-come to this," he whimpered as he sliced the fairy in half, the two halves of its rent body falling to the floor. Now, Roger stood in front of the large aquarium that was protecting the last fairy. How were they supposed to get past it?

"Hell yes you should!" Ryu screamed at Duke, apparently overheard Duke and saw that will, "Have my threats in the past taught you nothing?! If so, then I'm gonna come over there and beat your head like a bongo as soon as I can move!"

MP: 25/65

Diamond snapped her fingers causing a sphere of water to appear above Evan. She then winked at him again as the water crashed into his head. The fairy did a little aerial backflip while chattering happily. She wasn't into revenge or anything; this was just fun.

Now that the glass had disappeared, Roger slowly approached the giggling fairy. Evan seemed to have suffer a lot from the fairy's spell. He closed his eyes and shakily raised his greatsword before bringing it down hard on the petite fairy. It would all be over soon.

Roger attacks Diamond! 12 Dmg! (ATK)

"Drop your glass wall right after my haste fades huh?" Duke had to give the fairy props. That was clever. He flipped and twisted, slamming his feet into the fairies neck.

Cage could see the fairy was finished, so what was the point. Calling his cards back to him, he began to put them away. This battle was over...

The last fairy was gone, and Ryu did almost nothing to help. It wasn't a pleasant feeling, being powerless to do anything while people around were in danger when the reason for that danger wasn't her.

With the fairies gone, Duke sighed heavily and slumped to the ground. This was getting annoying. Ruby definitely had something to do with it. He looked at his shoes, frowning at their damaged state. Not surprising. A good number of the enemies they faced we pretty thick skin, in a manner of speaking. He rummaged through the bag to see if he could find something to touch them up with.

"Let's see," he murmured. "Mana shard; nope, Life shard; nope, mechanical gear; useless, Fairy dust; pretty, but no, Strange and wet steel shoes; nope, herb,na- wait a minute, Steel shoes?" He spun, looking for the shoe he tossed with the rest of the things he rummaged for. There they were, a spanking new pair of shoes. Priceless.

"Holy-mother-of-," he whispered as he reached for them almost reverently. Hastily, he tossed of his old shoes and shoved them in the bag before donning the new one (clipping his toe guard to the front.) To break them in, he literally started bouncing off the walls, giggling madly.

The group finally made it off the bridge and onto hard ground. In the distance, they could see a light that penetrated the dimness of the aqueduct cavern. It had to be the way out. They rushed to freedom only to be greeted by a horrid screech that sent them flying backwards before they could leave through the opening. The party members scrambled to their feet and looked ahead only to see two figures, one standing and one flying, inbetween them and the exit. In a mix of outside light and light from the crystals of the cavern, the figures were a siren and another aqueduct fairy, though she seemed special. She was actually a bit larger than the other fairies and wore a golden crown upon her head. The siren's eyes seemed to bore into them all. She had an eerie saber that seemed to resonate with any sound that made itself known in the cavern.

"It has come to my attention that you have been causing much havoc in my domain," the fairy spoke with indignation. "I am afraid that I cannot allow an assault against my queendom to go unpunished. Your punishment shall be death, so prepare yourselves." She twirled and impressive staff and pointed it at the group while the siren readied her saber for combat.

Cage was so filled with hope that they might be able to fix his picture, and get out of this horrible waterway. But it was obvious they wouldn't be lucky, for they hadn't been all along. Cage sighed, dropping his cards and preparing for battle.

Duke starts at I6

"We aren't invading!" Duke protested. "As I remember it, We were repeatedly assaulted by the inhabitants of this tunnel. We didn't attacks, we reacted." He tapped his feet for extra effect. "We came to this tunnel as peace prison escapee!... Wait, that didn't come out right."
