[Jacob]

*Setting: The Katana seemed to glisten as the point was pointed down at Ella's neck and with a final smirk Lilias pushed the weapon down. In a fraction of a second however Ella had raised her right hand, palm facing the point of the weapon and impaled her hand upon it. The weapon seared through her flesh and bone, stopping as it got half way through. The pain was unbearable and with a pain-stricken cry Ella kicked out with her right foot and hit Lilias' left shin, forcing her to fall onto her left knee. She then raised her foot so it was level with the 'crawlers head and swung it hard to the left, forcing her heel to connect with Lilias' skull and knock her to the right, dropping the sword which caused another doseage of pain to course up Ella's arm. Resting on her right elbow Lilias quickly scrambled towards where the balcony was, being foiled once more as Kei grabbed ahold of one of the tendrils that sprouted from the back of her head. Gritting her teeth in agony Lilias attempted to stand up, gripping the wall to her right to aid her in this. But Kei was just as determined to keep her down, quickly the Changling lunged at her foe. Wrapping her arms around her neck she tried her hardest to crush the windpipe of her once torturer. But Lilias was undetered and though her legs wobbled with the weight of her enemy she steadily walked forwards, towards the balcony. As this went on, Ella was slowly pulling the Katana from her hand, beads of sweat running down her brow heavily as she tried her best not to pass out from the pain. With a quick glance to her left she realised she could not bide anymore time and yanked her hand back as she pushed the blade forward, slicing more veins in the process. She then grasped the handle of the weapon with her left hand and stood...*

Ella: "Kei, get off her..."

She said this as she jogged forwards, intent on running the blade through Lilias' spine. Loosening her grip Kei slowly readied herself to let the 'crawler go and get out of the way, but it was no use. Lilias was already at the entrance of the balcony and as Kei let her go slightly, Lilias grasped ahold of her arms with her hands. Her nails digging into the Changlings skin and causing her to shriek out in pain.

Lilias: "Can your kind morph into Birds, hmmm...?"

As she said this she lifted Kei's arms up so they were no longer wrapped around her neck, she then brought Kei's right arm over her head, forcing Kei to be positioned at the left of her and dragged her to the right...where the balcony was. Due to Kei's weakness and Lilias' strength, it didn't take much for the Changling to be moved, and due to this she was easily flung off the edge. The old wall on the balcony to stop people from falling over was already partially crumbled and so the extra body weight of the Agent was enough to break through it...and it did just that.

***

*Setting: A shriek came from above, aswell as the sound of a wall crumbling. Looking up from his position Marl watched as one of his fellow Agents fell from the 11th storey balcony. He was clad in a black body suit with only his hands, feet and face not covered. Stepping closer to where the female was falling he pondered whether he should help...pondered over saving a life...and pondered over the outcomes if he didn't. As the female came closer into view he quickly recognised her as Kei...one of the female Agents who was the 'other half' of Ella. He snarled in disgust. Homosexuality wasn't to his taste and so he felt no remorse in allowing the Changling to die...and that she did, with a hard, bone-crunching thump...*

***

Ella: "KEEEIIII!!"

She dropped the weapon and stepped backwards in shock. The pain in her right hand quickly deminished and tears rapidly formed in her eyes. She mouthed her lovers name gently and with every blink a tear rolled. Turning to face her Lilias smiled. A smile so evil, so dark that it was clear that she had enjoyed every second of her actions.

Lilias: "Oh yes, thats right...you can only change into beings of your stature...silly me."

This hurtful and mocking comment cut through Ella like a thousand daggers through Silk and as the bitches words repeated over and over again in her head she spurted forwards. A scream hurtling from her lungs as a primal rage took over.

Ella: "YOU F*CKING BITCH!!"

Leaping at Lilias her hands grasped around her neck, her thumbs pushing down on the windpipe of her now, mortal, nemesis. Slamming into a wall Lilias smiled and graped the wrists of her attacker and slowly pulled them away.

Lilias: "Heh, you hear her scream as she fell? What a sweet note she hit..."

Her mouth widened in a gigantic grin as she whispered these hushed words, watching Ella's face contort into a face filled with agony and emotional torture.

Ella: "F*ck...you..."

After spitting these hatefilled words out at Lilias she morphed into her. Her whole body shifted into that of her enemy and for some reason Ella felt more powerful...psychologically anyway.

Lilias: "Oh, am i that gorgeous...?"

She chuckled these words in an amused manner before kicking Ella in the stomach, forcing her to stagger backwards in a bent position. She then grasped the Changlings head and lifted it up, looking into her eyes, it was as if she was dualling her reflection...

Lilias: "Lets see if i can make a pretty pattern with you aswell..."

Her nails digged deep down into Ella's face and with a quick movement, Lilias had forced Ella's head down, bringing her knee up simutaneously so that it connected with the Changlings face. The blow was fierce, so fierce it caused Ella to flop backwards and onto her back, were Lilias then grasped ahold of her right ankle and dragged her to the balcony...

*Setting: Stepping up behind Marl, Quade groaned in a mixture of disgust and sadness. The corpse of Kei lay spattered on the ground, her blood oozing softly and her eyes still open...revealing her final emotion before death. Revealing how petrified she truly was. Looking up at the tall, ominous Mudokon Quade sighed.*

Quade: "It's not your fault, i'm sure you got here as soon as you could..."

Without turning the Mudokon bowed his head in a feigned sign of sadness.

Marl: "I should have been here..."

Quade: "You wi..."

*Smashing*
As he attempted to comfort his fellow Agent the sound of a small building being smashed into sounded from his right. Looking up Marl snarled in puzzlement as, what seemed like a small garage, shook. The roof seemed to explode off, bricks, dust and debris filled the air around the building as a black hovercar with blackened out windows crashed through the roof.

Quade: "Shit, its an escape vehicle!!"

Turning to Quade Marl pointed at the car and barked out orders.

Marl: "Shoot it down then!!"

Reaching for both of his guns Quade began to run forwards, shooting at the vehicle as it slowly saunted upwards. The bullets bounced off the vehicle, leaving only marks. As it got further upwards Quade was forced to look up and in doing so was met with the image of the female 'crawler, he had previously encountered, kicking what seemed to be, a body off the edge of the balcony.

***

*Setting: Ella's body was laid out horizontally on the balcony as she attempted to stop herself from falling. Her attacker was pushing her slowly over the edge with her right foot, putting the boot in now and again to make it more difficult for her enemy to hold on. As the grief-stricken, emotionally charged females back began to slide off the stone surface she lashed out, her left hand gripped the stonework as her back and right leg dangled over the edge. Peering down to where she was going to fall Ella scanned the area. A black hovercar was moving towards them, Kei's body was lying motionless on the ground and Quade was firing up at the car.*

Ella: "QUADE!! QUADE, HELP ME!!"

Crouching down Lilias peered over the edge and smiled.

Lilias: "This is were i have to leave you. It's been nice though, very...fulfilling."

Reaching for a small bit of rubble Lilias grabbed it and lifted it high. Moving it over the only hand that clung to the old balcony she gave one last smirk and brought it down.

Ella: "NOOOOOOOO!!"

She cried out, but unfortunatly for Lilias it was a cry of determination and not of fear. Upon feeling the heavy rock shatter the bones in her only useable hand she flung her right hand upwards, still oblivious to the pain it caused her, grabbing one of the tendrils that sprouted from the 'crawlers head.

Ella: "YOU'RE COMING TOO, BITCH!!"

Lilias cried out as the weight of gravity and the Agent brought her quickly over the edge. Letting go Ella tumbled down, not caring if she died...so long as Kei's killer died too.

***

Quade: "MARL, GRAB HER!!"

Turning Quade shouted these orders in rapid desperation, and though Marl was truly disappointed that he couldn't let the Bisexual female die, he realised that he had to. For if he didn't he could very well die aswell. Raising his right hand as she passed the 5th floor, he stopped Ella from falling any further and gently lowered her down. Quade on the other hand continued firing up at the black car, now aiming for the Shadowcrawler female as she desperatly clung on to the bumper for dear life.

Quade: "Marl, can you drag her down?!"

He fired somemore, only stopping when she began pulling herself up on the bonnet and thus out of his line of sight.

Marl: "No, she's out of range!!"

***

Lilias: "GO, GO, GO!!"

She screamed through the blackened out windscreen of the car as she scrambled onto the roof and tapped on the sunroof window. Slowly it opened and within seconds she had scramled into it, panting heavily and rubbing the tendril the Changling had grabbed. But in a couple of seconds she had realised all was not well...for her uncle was lying unconcious on the backseat and she had just remembered the dead escort lying a couple of feet away from the garage entrance. She didn't even know who was driving the car. So slowly she turned, wanting to know what was going on...but nothing could have prepared her for the shock she was about to recieve.

Driver: "Helo sissta..."

Lilias: "A-Alandos!? But how??"

*Budoosh*
The tranquliser dart hit her lower neck and in seconds she was falling backwards with blackness descending upon her...

***

*Setting: Quade turned, watching as the car slowly drove off and into one of the busier parts of the city. No Agency vehicles were around and most Agents were still inside the vehicle apprehending the 'crawlers who didn't attempt to escape. It seemed that the main masterminds behind the entire hostage situation had escaped into safety. But something told Quade they would meet again sooner...or later.*
