The efforts of both parties to breach the cloud prove as ineffective as each other's, their swords merely bouncing off the cloud.
Within the cloud, the woman it just about ready to finish off Richie, only to be interrupted at the last minute as the cloud is suddenly blasted away by a sudden gust of wind. Standing opposite the gang of heroes was its cause: A small girl, her skin and hair matching that of the woman, with long pointed ears and baggy black clothing. And she didn't seem the least bit please with the fight that took place.

Hellskeeper readied herself for combat , but held off looking to Shadowcrash to indicate violence ....or ...
Tzadi's Falchion was still in his hands, his dark eyes glwoing a faint purple colour

Buck stirred for a moment, then opened his eyes. He lay staring at the ceiling for a few moments, then climbed slowly to his feet. There seemed to have been a few changes since he was knocked out. Buck opted to stay where he was, for the moment, as the woman didn't seem to have noticed his revival. He crouched down behind a handy bit of furniture and waited.

The woman blinked at the girl for a moment. Right before unceremoniously dropping Richie, who took the opportunity to scramble away toward Shadowcrash.
"What do you think you're doing, Isabella?" The woman finally asked. Isabella remained silent for a moment, smiling slightly upon seeing that Richie was okay.
"Ending this." she said, breaking her silence. "I am ending this madness once and for all." The girl then began to approach the gang, dashing over as quickly as her feet could move her, only to be stopped by a new cloud forming in front of her.
"Isabella, no." The woman commanded. "Their world is unsuitable for either of us. I can't allow it." Richie's left eye twitched momentarily.
"Alright, that's it!" he barked, turning to face the woman while struggling to fight off all his aches and pains. "Who the flamin' hell died and made you her flamin' mam, like?"
A brief moment of silence followed as both Isabella and the woman looked down at their feet...

Tzadi reacted without thinking sending a foot towards the womans back with immense force....

Hellskeeper , slowly started to circle to the right , aiming to get to the otherside of the pale woman , and in reach of Richie ....
The woman stumbled forward slightly, feeling the full force of Tzadi's kick. Infuriated by the sudden attack, she then sent an almighty invisible blast crashing into him, before turning her attention to Isabella.
"Enough of this!" she barked as she stormed toward the girl, "Isabella remains here! Those who seek to defy me... do not expect to live for long!"
"No!" Isabella screamed as the woman then grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away, her little legs barely keeping up with herself. Almost immediately, the entire corridor began to shake...
"That's not good!" Richie and Shadowcrash both piped up in unison, the two of them then turning to each other and asking "And will you stop that?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Buck leapt out from behind cover, running to intercept the woman in the middle of the corridor. The shaking floor made it difficult for him to keep his balance.

Hellskeeper powerleaped ahead of the pale woman , and blocked her route ....
" sorry i have a thing about not letting bullies get away with it , and boy are you one butt ugly bully ..so we can do this my way or ..well thats it ...my way .."
slowly Hellskeeper made the axe of divinly enchanter iron appear in her hands , its solid weight in her hands steadied her resolve , and she knew its magic would cut anything on the wrong side of good .....
"well ....sucker ! "
The wave seemed to do nothing yet slow Tzadi's mental calculations and soon he was after the pale woman attempting to take Isabella away from her...

A just barely recovered Richie rushed at the woman, drawing his swords on the way.
"And there was an actual chance as resolving this PEACEFULLY, DAMMIT!" Shadowcrash screamed as she followed Richie.
"I know, I know!" Richie barked, still advancing rapidly toward the woman as a dark cloud formed around him. "Nowt we can do about it now besides take her on!"
Richie held his swords above his head on the final approach, bringing them down on the woman's back. Minimal effect. The guardian staggered forward momentarily, letting go of Isabella as she did, right before hurling the Durham lad back a few metres onto his backside with another blast in a minor rage.
Isabella herself took the opportunity to run to Richie to see if he was okay, but more importantly escape from the guardian.

Hellskeeper leaped in , faking a head shot with the axe , she in fact flopped low as she landed and with a long swing aimed the axe at knee height ((axe of ghost slaying)), trying to take down the pale woman .......
She immediately followed this up with by spewing a wave of flames upward at the pale woman's face ((Breath of fire )) ...
Rising up from her crouched position Hellskeeper kept moving , trying with all her agility to keep herself between the pale woman and Richie and Isabella ...again a ring of aggressive flame circled her lashing out at the woman ((blazing aura))
Following the fire her mouth brought forth a string of stinging phrases ((taunt)) , some betraying Hellskeeper's trailer trash origins , as she threw everything into the assault ...
....while screaming at Richie ..... Spell-Boy , now would be a good time for that famous exit strategy , you think !
Buck shouted at Hellskeeper, "I can't punch the woman if she's on fire! Let me get a shot in!" He reared back to deliver a devastating uppercut to the pale woman's jaw.
~union4lyfe~
" no biggy Buck , my flames only burn the baddies , feel free to unload on this butt-faced [censored].... scragg her good " Hellskeeper replied ...
The woman found herself slamming into the floor as the axe didn't so much chop her feet off as trip her up, followed by receiving the flames in her face. A minor irritation, it seemed, as all it took was one slammed fist to the ground to disperse the flames and teleport back to her feet. Unfortunately for her, she had only teleported on the spot, keeping her in the path of Buck's uppercut.
The guardian's head snapped back on impact, sending her staggering back briefly. The woman almost immediately straightened her posture again, following up by swinging her arms up into the air. Instead of an invisible blast this time, she had decided to up the ante but tearing stones from the floor at the two.
Shadowcrash rushed to Richie and Isabella. The hopeless Durham lad was slowly picking himself up from the floor when the ghost grabbed his arm and dragged him back to his feet.
"You okay, Richie?" She asked, he face showing signs of genuine concern.
"Aye, I'm alright!" Richie answered, swaying slightly on his feet. "You're talking to someone who survived getting hit by a speeding van!"
"Right, think we can still take her out?"
"Like we've got a choice?"
"Point." Shadowcrash nodded before turning to the girl. "Isabella, get out of here, get to the apartment, okay?"
As the two of them rushed to assist, Isabella looked on, disregarding Selina's request immediately.
"But... wait! You can't simply..."

Max: "Me too."

Hellskeeper plan was simple ..attack ..flame sword thrusts at the pale womans chest , fists of flame at her head and breaths of fire at any other part in range , and all the time Hellskeeper aura plusing out clinging flames ..and from her mouth the foulest language ever ...never let up , dont give your foe time to think ..force them to react ..be so in their face the are breathing in what you exhale ....hammer hammer hammer , and then send that axe in once more aimed for the knees ...
Tzadi moved in bring his falchion down from above ith inhuman force on a direct course with the woman's head it seems very little could stop the swinging blade

Buck stumbled backwards as the rocks slammed into his chest, but he quickly recovered and charged forward on the counter-attack. As he rushed forward, he let a mighty roar rip from his lungs and brought his arms back, ready to swing them together to knock out the woman.

"I do not need this foolishness!" the woman yelled as she raised a hand, bringing forth a new cloud that deflected everyone's attacks, even the downward strike from Richie's swords. Richie himself subsequently felt the full force of Shadowcrash's sonic blast bounce off and into his face. Richie staggered backward, dropping his swords before falling back onto his backside.
"Come ON, man!" the fool snarled as struggled to pick himself up from the floor. "This is just getting proper stupid now!"
"Sorry!" Selina yelled as she tried another blast, equally proving as redundant as the last. "Oh crud."
Isabella remained where the two had left her, still disregarding Shadowcrash's request as she looked on at the forming cloud.
"And I do not need -your- foolishness, mother!" the girl then yelled as she began to slowly approach the gang.

Hellskeeper carried on with her attacks .." hide if you want bee-atch , we will see who gets bored first .."
fire and flame covered the new cloud , blow after blow struck at it ..
" now would be a good time to ..uk off from this loopy castle Richie ..how about it "
"We need to take her dow-" Shadowcrash stopped herself as all of a sudden, the cloud dissipated, much to the blatant shock of the Guardian, who - as she slowly lowered her fist - blinked at Isabella, who appeared to be concentrating on something. Both Richie and Selina looked at the girl in surprise before finding their attention brought back to the woman as she started groaning quietly, falling to one knee for a moment before forcing herself back to both feet.
"Isabella..." The woman groaned, "What do you... think you are..."
"I'm ending this!" Isabella barked before glancing to the others. "Hurry! Strike now and this should be over! Please!"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Tzadi didn't waste a moment, soon his falchion was thrust towards her chest, aiming to thrust to the hilt

Hellskeeper carrried on , throwing even more effort into her strikes , straining to incresse the pace of them to allow the pale woman no time to counter ...
" Spellboy waggle your fingers and let us vamoosh ...now please !" ..she firmly asked
Hellskeeper looked hard at the cloud .. any idea what its made of ? she walked rapidly over to the edge of the cloud .
Her aura of radiating flame struck at the cloud seeking access to bring harm to those deemed foes ..
well , when in trouble ..brute strength and a winning smile normally works
Hellskeeper thrust her sword of flames at the cloud ...
