Armored footsteps echoed throughout the ruins of Valhalla like a ghostly whisper. What once looked like a temple of some sort lay in ruins, the scars of battle echoing a tragic story. A story of a woman who wanted nothing more than to save her sister. A story of one person's struggle against the Chaos contained within Valhalla. A story of one who despite everything was unable to do what she wished.
Caius had returned yet again, with the very same goal in mind. It wasn't enough for Lightning to have lost her sister. No, she was the very key, the very thing he needed to destroy Etro herself. Every footstep continued to echo throughout, that is until he paused at the very site that Lightning's last battle had taken place. His right arm reached upward, grasping the hilt of his sword Ragnarok. The Immortal Guardian was bound and determined to remind the Guardian of Etro of her failure. That what happened to Serah was indeed her own fault. He wanted to see the pain in her eyes right as he struck her down for good.
"Guardian of Etro! I seek you out for a challenge. I wish to remind you of your failure with each swing of my blade." It was then Caius knelt down, bringing Ragnarok before him as he leaned his forehead against the blade. "Yeul's of long ago. Yeul's of now, Yeul's of an untold story, bring strength to my blade once more. May your anguish be felt by the servant of the Goddess." Rising he swung that blade once, patiently awaiting the arrival of his fated rival.

This place brought on awful memories. A horrible failure and the last place she had been able to see her sister, even if only in spirit. She hadn't wished to returned but with the worlds under such distress as she had seen during her time in Traverse Town, she had no other choice but to return here. Caius was already enough of a problem, now this new threat had reared it's ugly head. Perhaps from here she could perhaps see what the future held if events went as they would.
She had already let her sister down. She would not let Etro down as well. Or the other worlds. As Lightning walked through the rumble and wreckage from battle, she couldn't help but feel she wasn't alone... And only one other person would dare set foot in this place. "Great.." She muttered. Her suspicions were only further confirmed as his voice rang out over the ruins. So, he was calling her out. Well, if he wanted a fight she was more than willing to give it to him. She had a score to settle.
"Caius." She replied coldly as she emerged from around a corner, coming into view at their last battleground. "I say it' s about time we finished this once and for all." She wasted no time as she threw her arm out at her side and in a flurry of white feathers appeared her gunblade grasped tightly in her hand. This fight was to happen whether she wanted it to or not. Until one of them fell for good, they wouldn't stop.

Theme for this post: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace"I agree Guardian of Etro..." Caius said as he turned to face the woman. "It is time we end this." A green ring of energy circled his body as he cast Body and Soul upon himself, giving the buffs of Bravery, Faith, and Regen to make himself a fighting force. With that cast on him he'd heal from some of the damage she would likely inflict on him, and his strength and magic were augmented for a little while. Bending at the knee he lunged forth towards Lightning, pressing his free hand upon the stone ground, and pushed upward, using the momentum from his lunge to launch himself into the air and do a somersault above her head. Landing directly behind her, he smirked, eyes glowing red along with his heart and the eye in his sword. "Tell me Lightning, did it hurt? Did your heart shatter when you weren't capable of saving your sister? Did you feel as if your entire world was ripped away from you?"Turning his body a full 360 degrees, he thrust his blade into the ground to her right, unleashing a powerful black and purple stream of energy at close range. "Did your sister's final words break your heart? It is your fault she died. Your fault for interfering with my plans. You could have prevented it all."Abilities Used: Body and Soul: A buff and healing ability of mine. When I cast this I cast the buffs Bravery, Faith, and Regen upon myself. Cooldown doesn't initiate until the buffs wear off Duration of Buffs: 3 Posts Cooldown: 3 posts Blast Wave: An area attack. By channeling energy into my sword and stabbing it into the ground, I can send energy directly towards my opponent. Cooldown: 2 Posts

Lightning furrowed her brows as Caius turned to face her, preparing himself to clash once again. She watched and waited as her performed a feat of acrobatics and landed swiftly behind her. She remained still and stood her ground, readying for anything he might throw at her... Only instead of a blade or magic, he threw only words her way. Words aimed directly at her weakest points, trying to make her break before the fight had even begun.
Her features eased for a moment as the memories began to flood back. That had been the one thing she regretted most. Not being able to save her own sister... She quickly regained her composure just in time to turn, and be met with a large wave of energy erupting at her feet. She threw her shield in front of her to attempt to protect herself from the blast. The force still lifted her off of her feet and hurdled her into a nearby building. As the dust cleared, Lightning cast Mighty Guard upon herself, granting her the benefits of Protect, Shell, Vigilance and Veil. "I may have failed before, but don't count on it happening again." Determination now replaced the sorrowful look her face had held. She would bring Caius down.
She raised her blade in the air, and cast Lightning Strike as a barrage of lightning strikes rained down in Caius's general area. She used the opportunity as a distraction and charged in the moment it had been cast she imbued her blade with Bladestorm and attempted to drag her blade upwards across Caius's chest. If the hit landed, the wind would leave her blade and dice away it him for a moment even after her blade stopped making contact. The fight was on.

Mighty Guard: Duration 3 posts
