(Yeah, sorry about the delay. Hear about the shooting at NIU in IL on Valentines? I'm not a student there, but I live close to DeKalb. Had to check up on my friends since I didn't know what they had this semester.)
When she saw the one hand drop down towards her, Fukumi made one more clone, which moved elsewhere to avoid being struck. The kunoichi herself was forced to leap out of the ground, lest take a deadly blow. In the air, she threw six kunai, one for each electromancer, and five of them with an almost invisible cord attached. Landing, her right leg almost gave out completely, numbed by what portion of his attack she did take. Her agility was compromised.
This is getting too close for comfort. But now I'll feel him out. Moving the fingers of her left hand, she was testing for resistance. If one was snapped, she would know exactly which one was the real mage. Though if none of them were loose, then the only other electromancer was real. Thankfully the shadows of the forest were on her side with concealing the cords.
=====
Aitai was brought back by Katan's command. It was a shame her golem didn't get to do much more, as the geomancer made quick work of the same element combo. The harpy landed the two of them on the wall, where the girl was working up another quick summons.
Placing both hands on the wall, a portal on one face opened up. Yellow orbs of light peirced through the darkness of it, and floated out into the world. Will-o-the-wisps, the soft gentle lights of the night. They were dim in their illuminence, nothing more than a candle flicker.
Aitai giggled as she sent a drove of them towards the geomancer. "Feed! Feed! He be a feast for thee!" Approaching, the lack of a physical body would render most attacks as futile. Obstructions were navigated around, and any that found their way to the mage would begin to glow brightly as it would feast upon his magical energy. If Aitai couldn't strip his powers one way, she would have them another.
=====
Katan took up position behind the necromancer. Having never worked with Nakhti, he wasn't ready to be side-by-side. It would have been foolish, and the temptation to just stab him may become overwhealming. "No mercy? Must've pissed you off good." Opening with a flourish to the death mage's back, he was being cautious to block any attacks and see how he'd handle the two of them now.
Once he became confident in the clashing of blades, dodging of magics, Katan would insert jabs with the un-bladed arm. Though whenever the punch drew close to the necromancer, he'd have the blade shoot forth, utilizing the element of suprise.

The electric force carried along the wetness of the strings was like a really bad static shock, travelling up the arm to about the shoulder. Fukumi winced, while instinctively going for Kamaitachi with her right hand. The electromancer had vanished out of sight again, making the situation all reactive. Time felt like it was passing much slower than it really was. Effing teleporters....
"THIS ENDS HERE!"
Turning her head to see the charged fist swinging for her head, pupils narrowed in on her target. The clone that was sent off with the explosive note burst forth from the ground, bringing up chunks of earth with her. She took the blow in the stead of her master, while placing the very note on the mage's chest.
Fukumi saw the opportunity of the battle, drawing out the razor sharp blade. With the clone directly in between the combatants, Fukumi skewered her. Kamaitachi deftly went through, and into the electromancer's chest as well. "You lose."
The note activated, creating a large engulfing fireball that extended 15 feet in every direction. Fukumi sailed backwards through the air, singed. Her clone took the brunt of the blast, but the sheer concussive force was equally massive. Slamming into a tree, her head slumped briefly. The first sign of life was the sheathing of the sword. Using the tree in aid of standing, she began to make her way towards the electromancer.
Not getting to close, not knowing his own condition or ability to retaliate, there was a good ten feet between them. "Pray that there might be an afterlife waiting for you. Fighting against Katan or SIN always leads to death." She spat at the ground, getting traces of blood in the spit. "At least you fought me. I don't relish making every foe squeal like a pig." Pulling out one more kunai, she threw it at his neck.
=====
Aitai screamed when the wall detonated under her and the shrapnel cut both her clothes and her skin. The harpy was also dispelled when it suffered too much damage. Hitting the ground like a rag doll, the girl cringed with the pain. "Why hold back anymore, he doesn't want to play."
"But I like flowers, big fields, and sparkly things."
"And does he care? Look your bleeding..."
"It hurts... it hurts... make it stop..."
The shaking body became calm. Aitai cackled like a torturer enjoying the delivery of a painful death. "An intent to kill, you said? Then that's what you shall recieve." Bleeding from the open wounds, she got up as though she was perfectly fine. Glaring at the geomancer, her eyes were pitch black. Wiping away a streak that was rolling over her cheek, she placed that hand on the ground.
"Thank you for this opportunity, ignorant one." Opening wide, a huge portal formed directly beneath the girl with her in the center. Something began to rise out of it, lifting her into the air. A mantle of skulls made up Aitai's perch, supported by two pillars of bones, literally thousands of human skeletons made up a door frame. The gate was the visage of a horned devil with blood flowing across the entire surface. In the mouth of the devil was a padlock connected to four chains that ran back to the pillars, with the sole intent of keeping it shut.
From nearly two-hundred feet in the air, standing atop of the summon, the girl called down. "Try to survive a while. I'd like to open the Gate of Hell all the way." Steam ruptured along the seam that split the door down the middle.
=====
Katan grinned at the apparition before him. It may have been a female peasent, but now it was just getting in the way. "You think I give a f*cking sh*t about her?" Drawing back his blade, he rammed it straight through her head. Wind wrapped around the blade, seeping inside the lifeless body before forcing an explosion of whatever kind of matter a soul was made up of. "Your dead wrong."
Lunging for the necromancer, both blades were extended from the gauntlets. Air was tightening up around the hands of the evil mage, aiming to hold them in place for just the moment. Katan's attack was to remove them from his body.
