@@SilverHeart, What door? (I may have gotten rid of it )

Shadow @Cinderscribe, @Midnight Scribbler, As soon as Rhalkeem was hurt and his barriers dropped Shadow instantly dissipated into his favored form as a blackish mist and grabbed ahold of Clockwork and ported him outside the door. 'GET the heck out of here! I've got a lock on your location so i'll definitely follow as soon as your gone, just get some distance away from here eh?' He then drifted around Amethyst, gently nudging her essence towards the doorway as he did so. "Come on Ammy! Lets get out of here we run or we die as we are now so lets save the fighting for when we might survive it... Please?"

@, @@SilverHeart, Silver Stole my line XD. Regardless though i hope things get better for ya, would hate to think that your life took a bad turn.

@@Geek0zoid, Well sorry for that... Not trying to make a fuss i was just curious........

@@Geek0zoid, ? I'm not telling you what to do, i was wondering on what you where doing....... Not trying to do anything just asking and politely saying that i was over next to Clockwork... (Not even arguing or anything...)

@@Geek0zoid, Ummmm i'm not? It was a question and a statement of my current location, I was merely confused by your assumptions.

@, He's supposed to be like that anyway (Harsher speaking than most of my characters but he's not alllll bad... just mostly (I kid )) @@Geek0zoid, I'm kinda sitting over next to Clockwork... Amethyst and Ronin are in the back. (Plus how can you read an Ethereal's body language? Their foreign beings with a different psychology???)

Shadow @@Geek0zoid, Shadow looked at the (Clearly not paying attention...) pony with a confused look before growling out in a low and panicked tone. "I'll pretend i didn't hear that for a while but can we stop with this team stuff and focus on the actual problem?!? Its an obvious attempt to distract you and its working real well....."

Shadow @, @, When Amethyst panicked at Ronin's question Shadow growled out a whisper to the pair, directing the sound away from the others in a mimicked sound spell (Thank you Mirror XD) "She didn't do a thing, i caused a detonation in your cave when trying to break into this place. Now can we get back to the task at hand, hes trying to distract and fracture you guys and numbers are your only advantage here..."

@@Geek0zoid, ... Wait, my characters are automatically demons/monsters?... That's a bit insulting.

Bolt @@Windbreaker, Bolt eyed the newly conjured crossbow bolt with a bit of surprise, though he quickly smothered it and looked back to answer Noble. "Well if you feel like walking a little the main entrance is a quarter block away, but i'm taking this equipment and the civilians to the storage entrance. Faster to unload with a bit of shelter and then we can quickly get these ponies underground where they'll be much safer. Razor's squad should be down there and with such defensible spaces they'll be fine once we them get down there and that'll free us up to start helping the rest get to safety... Care to chance it?"

Shadow @, @[member=Anyone else (Go right ahead and metagame. - _ -)], After making sure to keep the others between himself and Rhal Shadow nodded his head subserviently, keeping his tone polite and unassuming as he communicated with the elder being. 'Of course not, why would i even attempt such a pointless action in the presence of a being greater than i? Why i aught to be trying to appease you not anger someone whom is clearly much older and more powerful, not to mention much wiser in their years, then me... Why don't you allow me to remove the doubt from your mind by weeding out the idiots in this crew? I wouldn't want them to offend you by their mere presence would i?' He then casually stated to the ponies "Hes obviously just posturing you aught to attack him all at once no negotiations, i'm sure that'll go over reallll well..." Colors @, Colors smirked and rolled his eyes as he stated "Thats exactly what i would like to know. It's usually just thugs or brutes who think they can run things better then Ice can but now... Well its situationally dependent really." he then held his hoof out to Aphrodite and smiled. "Anyways i'm Colors and before i show you what i do could i ask what your favorite color is? I'd hate to annoy you with the wrong kind of demonstration."

@@SilverHeart, (That was exactly my point ) Yeah i feel your pain, allot of my better jokes would fall flat too. (Though i bet they do anyway XP)

@@SilverHeart, ??? I was being sarcastic. I'm not real fond of metagaming...

@@Geek0zoid, Umm i wasn't talking about me...

@@Geek0zoid, Might want to read up on recent events...

Shadow @, Upon the other beings sudden appearance and demands Shadow froze for a moment, seething with anger at the ponies that felt the need to argue pointlessly for so long and give the other time to form (Form before he could bolt at least...), and eventually paused his spell and reformed into a clearly unhappy Ethereal (Lacking his tail as a sign of humility.) who promptly dropped slightly behind Clockwork and asked in an annoyed tone. "What do you want Rhal..." 'Amethyst..... Didn't you at least sense the dam bastard forming!?! If i hadn't had to form a teleport for both of us we would have been elsewhere... Elsewhere as in NOT FREAKING DOOMED!!!'

Shadow @@Midnight Scribbler, As Clockwork exited the room Shadow pulled one last surge of magic from the illusionist, draining a significant amount of her magic reserves in order to power the spell he had been carefully preparing and as Clockwork started to walk down the hall Shadow rose up and drifted lazily alongside the inventor. "Well that was both entertaining and profitable... Do you have any particular place in mind to retreat to Clockwork, cause we should really leave and the illusionist was kind enough to provide me with enough power to break through the wards."

@, Ohhh... My bad, sorry about that.

Ummm guys..... Shadow's hiding, i have no idea how you can see him...

@@Midnight Scribbler, Yep he's fairly content for now , so while he wont pass up a snack hes concentrating on other things at the moment. (Though i honestly just didn't want to upset things too much )

@@SilverHeart, More like all of her spells are weakening and will continue to do so until there is no more magic... or life force. Its basically most of the magic is being consumed and drawn out through the individual spell (The noisemaker illusion. (Clever trick though.)), its like a magical leech..... Yeah real sorry for that but Shadow would never pass up a free meal so i couldn't justify him ignoring it. (Its not that rapid though, hes feeling lazy at the moment... Best i could do for ya.) Actually i do thoughts *'like this'* and i do telepathy 'like this'... bit confusing but meh habit by now. (Yes that one )

@@SilverHeart, Nah he's just thinking, i tend to use 'italics and ...umm this thing' for that kind of thing. Thanks for asking though, much appreciated. (I forgot what that was called... )

That might be a bit too fast, i'm not trying to kill anypony here! (Strength sapping is one thing killing is another!)

Shadow @@SilverHeart, @@Midnight Scribbler, As the illusion played out around him and the others shadow mentally rolled his eyes and started to suck the power from the spell, immediately destroying the portion over clockwork and steadily consuming the casters power as she fueled the spell... Weakening the spell at the same time as consuming the caster, should it continue to cast eventually he would eat the caster in their entirety. *'Heh... Also rude to attempt to mess with my senses, you fool no one here little mare... My senses are different.'*
