[Jumping in at Vixi's behest.]
Worried was perhaps the lightest way of putting how Jenn felt currently, she had awoken this morning to find that Vixi was nowhere to be found she'd remained calm initially simply assuming the girl had gone off to have a bit of fun she loved exploring and climbing so it was not entirely unlikely that such a thing would occur but as they day pressed on and Vixi was nowhere to be found Jenn began to worry, she had assumed it would be simply for the girl to find her way back what with the size of the castle's property but that was evidently not the case. Were it anyone else she would have kept a tighter reign on her fear, but Vixi was a strange child. She lacked any means of direct communication and was quite impressionable despite her apparent age. And while Jenn had grown fond of the people of Earth over the years she knew there were still many very bad people even in her time. THIS era however she had no clue on the quality of humanity. With that in mind Jenn had set out to try and spot Vixi, if not to get her back to the castle to at least make sure she knew HOW to get back and to make sure she was safe, however finding the girl proved far more difficult than she had anticipated, Vixi put out so little active energy that she practically blended into the background it had been rather endearing to realize how peaceful and non-violent the girl was to have her energy signature act in such a manner but now it made finding her akin to finding a needle in a haystack. A moment of absolute terror flooded through Jenn as she flew as all of a sudden she felt a familiar energy signature come into her purview but it was FAR more powerful than normal, Vixi had NEVER displayed a level of power that high and her very nature seemed to go against needing to, Jenn calmed herself as she readjusted her flight pattern her power was elevated but not wavering which indicated that while she was using all of her power she was not actually DOING anything with it nor was she being hurt currently and as such Jenn managed to keep a somewhat level head as she rocketed through the sky toward the girls energy signature. As she drew nearer Jenn's eyes narrowed as she felt another energy signature near VIxi moving in a manner that indicated it was pursuing her. While Vixi may not have been harmed yet that did not mean she was not in danger but thankfully whatever or whoever was chasing her had not been the subtle sort as even Vixi had been able to understand it as a threat. Now she just needed to neutralize the threat, a show of force to show whoever or whatever it was that she meant business was all that was necessary at the moment, the power she could sense was reasonably powerful but nowhere even close to in her league, a bit closer to Carla at least prior to the battle with Kemuri. When Vixi stopped her progress Jenn knew roughly where she would need to go to make an ideal landing, the closer she got the more she was able to plan out her entrance, the area was a heavily wooded forest which would make intimidation easy enough. For her entrance Jenn kept her power to a minimum driving it as low as she could as she flew. She caught sight of her 'target' through the trees a human, he was shouting though the distance made it impossible to tell what was being said, she felt Vixi's energy surge once more as she sprung away from the man launching to a much further off tree, a vicious grin spread across her face as everything fell into place, once she was a few feet away from the treeline Jenn let her power explode outward as her smokey aura burs into flame she tore through the treetops and made impact with the ground just a few feet between the unknown human and the tree that Vixi had leapt to. The impact of her arrival would leave the surrounding trees scorched and a large impact crater in her wake the likes of which Anri would certainly have been proud of, Jenn would look up from her crater as the dust settled setting a glare on Vixi's follower, Jenn stood as tall, a bit taller than her base form as she had made a few less-than-subtle adjustments to her form to appear more threatening she was the very image of a warrior now, tall and well muscled while still keeping much of her normal apperance so that Vixi would know who it was, unlike normal however Jenn was clad thick black leather armor, now was not the time to dress flirtatiously she was prepared to fight and everything about her posture and glare would make that quite evident to the unknown human.

As Brandon was unable to sense energy, Vixi's powerup, and escape had actually gone unnoticed. But what caught his attention, was the approach of a new being who had suddenly landed infront of him, causing nearby trees to become scorched. "Brandon, I dont know who this is, But play it cool with her. She seems VERY dangerous." Verlith said, as Brandon looked the new comer girl over.
Something about her appearence was very strange to Brandon, but then again, in this day and age, he shouldnt be surprised. "Who are you? If your here to take my Chaos Relic, Id rather die then hand it over!" He said, glaring at Jenn, not knowning who she was, or why she was here. "Im looking for a mute fox girl, Have you seen her at all? She is lost somewhere in the forest here... Im worried about her." He said to her.
Turning his attention away from the newcomer, Brandon looked into some nearby bushes, and sighed when he didnt see her. "She might be hurt from a Dragon earlier, I wanna make sure shes ok, Buts its dark out, Its dangerous out here." He said, as Verlith chimed in "A lil creepy dude..."

A fury of limbs and leaves smacked against Vixi as she plunged through the high tops of the trees, with her new found strength they snapped upon contact with her body, though her clothes weren't as lucky as she was. Already her garments had small tears across her jacket and skirt but now the rips were even larger before, even her skirt was torn all the way down from the base to the edge, along with the dirt and leaves that manged to coat her made a look like a wreck. The little discomforts didn't stop her from fleeing, she would have plenty of time later too worry about such things when her heart wasn't trying to slam through her rib cage.
Unlike before Vixi's sense were set to absorb every little sound or smell that hung in the air, having been snuck up on one already today was bad enough but she wasn't about to let anyone else get the best of her again, especially since she already had Brandon wandering after her in the woods. The new found scent in the air snapped against Vixi's nostrils it all too familiar to the girl being a scent of someone who she would never forget about, thought she was completely focused before she had been sidetracked at the sudden scent as Vixi collided face first with a nearby tree that had gotten the best of her. With a ear shattering crack the top portion of the tree was torn from the rest of the base as her and the plant went cascading into the forest floor below.
Branches snapping and animals feeling in terror Vixi crashed into the forest floor as she landed on top of the rough barked tree letting a gasp of air escape from her lungs. The erupting sounds would have been great enough to ring throughout the forest if it wasn't for the fact that an even larger sound exploded in the woods a little bit of ways off from her that trumpeted over the collapsed tree. The two sudden impacts were more than enough to set Vixi in a daze even going so far as to zap her lighting glow from her body as she shifted back to her normal state, doing so her power level dropped back down back in her normal regions. Laying face down into the tree Vixi groaned out in pain that expelled from her head, with each and every heart beat it felt like her skull would split open. Oh how she begged for the pain to stop its assault on her, it was too much for her to handle as she manged to roll over and rest her hand on her forehead.
Whimpering out in pain see rested there on the log listening to the quietness of the woods, it seemed like all the life that had once been present had all vanished with the all the noises that had been generated even the crickets that usually chirped in the long nights seemed to have left, the only real noises that stood out from the rest of the woods was the light breezes that wafted above the trees and the nearby crackling of fire. Fire was destructive was it not? Was there another threat she needed to deal with? Tirelessly Vixi was able to pull her self to sit up as it seemed as the pain in her head grew even more with the extra movement, but she needed to get up and get out there as it seemed like the forest didn't want her here anymore. She needed to find Jenn first though, she was the only one that would be able to save her from this wooded death trap.
It would have been just as simple to follow Jenn's scent as it wasn't too far away however the pain that resonated from her skull was proving to much to deal with at the current time. Pulling her hand away from her head Vixi could feel a small trick of liquid that had pooled against her palm, already she could feel something trickling down from her head and onto her face. Smelling the strange liquid she found it smelled like those old rusty poles they often had around the big factories on the edge of town, curious about the strange substance Vixi stuck out her tongue and lapped at it a few times before she spit it back out with a look of dissatisfaction spread across her face. It didn't taste much better than the rusty poles either, it was very salty and warm but not very tasty.
Deciding it would be best to have Jenn come to her Vixi stuck her head up facing towards the tree tops as she took a deep breath of air, finally deciding it was more than enough she opened her mouth and released a high pitched howl into the forest, bounced off everything it came in contact with there was no doubt anything with a few miles would not have heard it.

Jenn kept her eyes narrowed and focused on the person before her, now that she had arrived she could get a better look at him and what she found did not amount to much. He appeared to be a fairly average human not particularly fit but also not excessively unfit he was neither particularly tall nor short and nothing about him really struck her as memorable, the clothing he wore was perhaps to her one of the greatest oddities but that was merely because she was unused to modern clothing styles, the only thing that signified that this person was not just a normal human was firstly his greater power level, far above the average human from what Jenn had detected and the strange gauntlet attached to his arm, THAT item in particular set her on edge, it radiated a power that reminded her in many ways of the Staff of One certainly not born of the same creation process the item was surely a mystical artifact of some sort. That elevated the human before her to a level of threat worthy of maintaining her power as it was, she was WELL acquainted with what magic was capable of and allowing for some amount of balance in power would potentially lead to defeat if the magics inside that gauntlet were tricky enough. But as it stood Jenn vastly overpowered the human were it certain that he sought to harm Vixi Jenn would have taken him out before he could even blink, but there was always a chance that there was some misunderstanding.
He spoke as if he was worried for Vixi but his vague explanation left Jenn doubtful of his legitimacy, Dragons were an exceptionally rare creature and it was highly doubtful to Jenn that one would live or make its hunting grounds so near to a place such as the castle, Kemuri was a very pwoerful man and his many refrences to the King that he had imprisoned implied that the King was an even more powerful warrior than he someone on par with Kaladar if not beyond him, Jenn had felt some amount of Kaladar's power and what she felt alone had been more than enough to rival Kemuri and that had been the Guardian in a resting state. There was no way a Dragon would be so foolish as to hunt so close to a place that could pose it legitimate threat.
Before Jenn could continue trying to make sense of the rather nonsensical situation a piercing howl broke through the forest, it took merely a moment for Jenn to identify it for what it was. Vixi had never let out a cry quite so powerful as that before but it was very much an amplified version of her pained howls that came when she was particularly sad Jenn twisted ehr head in the direction of the cry feeling Vixi's energy signature make a sudden drop thankfully not one that came from intense injury but more an organic powering down of sorts, turning back to the human Jenn leveled him with another intense glare "Stay here or leave. Those are your choices. Make a move near and I won't hesitate to remove limbs." Jenn threatened the threat coming out far more vicious than what would be normal for her due to the use of her Efreeti power, the human was presently the object of much of her anger and distaste giving it a clear focus, but even her Efreeti state yielded to protecting Vixi above attacking a precieved enemy.
With that said Jenn turned on her heel and dashed through the trees likely faster than the human could keep up with, Vixi was not far which was both a blessing and a curse, it was good because it meant it was an insignificant amount of time between threatening the human and arriving at the girls side, a curse because if the human was fool enough to ignore her words he would not have to travel far to interrupt. What Jenn found only served to fuel her fury though she showed none of it, Vixi was huddled against a tree her clothing ripped and torn in various places her hair practically filled with twigs and leaves and a fresh cut split across her forehead, her hands covered in blood Vixi appeared to have made an effort to taste it something that were the situation not so tense would have actually been rather amusing. Jenn dashed over to the girl kneeling close "There you are" Jenn said with a sigh of relief as she snatched the girl up into a hug letting all of her worry fade away. "You had me worried, are you alright?" even the slightly more rough tone brought on by her transformation gained a softer edge as she spoke to the girl. Jenn quickly manifesting a a long piece of cloth and immediately going about dressing Vixi's wound "Did the man back there hurt you?" Jenn asked quickly, it was important to know if the human was actually a problem or not, regardless of if he actually posed any threat if he HAD done this to Vixi then he was in for a world of pain no matter if he had already made the smart choice and departed the scene.

He was about to introduce himself to the strange woman, when to he heard the howl, and heard the femininity in it, and knew that it belong to a young female. Once that processed in his head, he knew it had to be Vixi, cold and frightened. He was about to take off running in her direction, when the other woman made a threat to him. "What the hell is your problem?" He asked, but the woman clearly ignored him, and ran in the direction of the howl faster then he could ever keep up.
"Yeesh, are all women of this time like this? Whats the word for it... " he asked, as Verlith merely replied with a "I don't know... But I would advise to heed her warning... Her energy level was massive compared to yours..." Hr said, but Brandon let out a sigh.
"Is this how good guys are rewarded? I shared her my dinner cause I felt sorry for her...saved her life from a dragon, and now this shit? Honestly, Being the good guy is awful... No, Im going to make sure that Fox girl is ok! Thats the least I can do!" He said, before he started to walk off in the direction that the mysterious woman sprinted in, and faintly through the bushes, he soon saw the woman with the fox girl in his arms. He did his best to stay hidden in the busy as he saw her dressing a wound on her that she didnt have when she left the campsite, and saw how she was handling Vixi.
"Is that woman...her mother?" Verlith asked Brandon, who kept out of sight as best as he could. "I dont know, Seem to be I guess, But she doesnt have ears or a tail like her... She seems to care for the girl like she was her mother... If thats the case, shes in a good hands now..." He whispered, as he had the dreadful feeling that he would never see the adorable fox girl again.
"Well, Atleast she appears to be safe...Now leave before that woman finds you and does indeed rip an arm off..." Verlith said, trying to nudge Brandon away from the pair. A Tear came to his eye as the thought of leaving her was almost unbearable as he soon replied "Ya...Your right... Karma will be nice to me another day I guess..." He said as he got up to his feet, and slowly started to walk away from the pair.
"Didnt even get the fox girls name...."

The girls howls echoed through the dense woods and up into the dimming sky, already the sun was riding the curve of the earth but in a few minutes times the basking light of the burning sphere would disappear from this side of the planet leaving it once again to be coated in a layer of darkness, even so Vixi did not fear the darkness not any more at least, she had learned to over come the fear of the dark having too live around it for so long, the lack of light around her was just something she had gotten used too; no it was the fact that she was alone, tired, in pain and something warm and sticky was dripping from her head, she didn't know exactly what it was but it couldn't have been good but that fact come alone from its taste since the girl had no medical training.
Slowly as the wind drew from her lungs the erupting howl trailed off into almost a whimper rather than vicious call of a beast something more like a puppy whose bone had been taken, she could bellow loud enough to blow a person's ear drums out but holding the note was something that proved to be more difficult than it looked too most, having to control pitch and strength of the note was difficult enough but with her vocal cords still in development it made such an task more difficult and slightly painful that it would normally for someone...like her. Coughing in a fit from the rough pain in the back of her throat she cupped her hand around her throat and began to massage the muscles that lined her neck, the action didn't provide much relief but it was more of the idea of trying to help the injury rather than actually the physical pressure she had put on it that helped her to feel better. It was really the first time she had pushed herself to produce such a howl, before she had done them because it was fun to howl with the rest of the dogs during the night when the moon was high in the sky but this time it was used because she was panicked about never being found in the damned woods.
Craning her head back and forth Vixi glancing across between the shadows that lined the trees as she tired to make out any imagine that might be Jenn, she had sensed her scent earlier but had not actually seen the woman, hopefully her mind had not been playing tricks on her once more, if so she might have really been in trouble, hopefully if she had been in the area she would have heard her SOS signal. It would have been pretty hard to miss unless the person was deaf and Jenn wasn't...at least she hopped...Vixi had never actually spoken a word to Jenn so it was all possible the woman couldn't hear at all.... Panic shot through Vixi's head as she squirmed back and forth on the log flaying her arms randomly in the air. As more of the warm liquid expelled from her head and trickled down her face she remembered the fact that the only thing that had been holding it back was the pressure that she had been applying to it, gasping at the idea she slapped her forehead as she wailed out in pain once more, prone to acting quickly she often forgot the small details such as her head felt like it was going to split open.
Ears perking up at a new sound that flooded the woods Vixi shot her head back up as her tail stood out behind her at full alert, it was hard to tell from sound alone what was heading her way as the heavily filled forest made it difficult for her to tell what it was but it was defiantly coming towards her. Oh how much more of this could she take? Already she had hurt her head, been chased around the woods and not to mention she had gotten lost, her only hope at this point is that Jenn would save her from all of this. With the sound growing ever closer all Vixi could really do at this point was wait it out and see what happened next, her energy was about tapped out and she really didn't have the capability too move very quickly, if it turned out to be some kind of beast the best she would be able too do was generate a shield to hold it back until Jenn would show up to save the day. However as luck would have it was Jenn that burst forth from the woods...wait was it?
The person shared similar traits with the woman but instead of her usual graceful appearance her body even her face seemed too be a tad off looking more fearsome than she normally would, even the elegant clothing she once worn had been replaced by some type of leathery materiel that was thickly wrapped across her skin. Vixi stared at the woman for a few seconds confused at what she was seeing before her, it wasn't until Jenn's scent wafted under her nose that she really knew that it was her. Wagging her tail ferociously she yelped out in joy at her arrival, slacking her shoulder in relief she embraced Jenn as she came forward towards her, she didn't think there was anyone else she would have rather seen at that moment...well maybe one other person....
Embracing Jenn in the a bear hug Vixi whimpered as the water works began to awaken once more; tears of relief flooded down her face now that she had the woman at her side the worries she had before melted away into a puddle a her feet, no longer did the dangers of the woods have any merit too her. Letting the woman pull back from the hug Jenn pulled what appeared to be a long strip of cloth from her smokey void; the magic never ceased to amazed her even though she had seen it a dozen times such a skill was amazing to see over and over again however it was followed by a quite gasp of pain as she pushed it agasint the cut on her forehead. Not that Vixi could speak of any disagreement to what Jenn was doing she sat there patiently as Jenn nursed the bleeding gash on her head, with her little knowledge of cuts or wounds she thought it was best to let Jenn keep doing what she was doing and not bicker.
Asking if she was ok Vixi had to think the idea over for a few seconds, she was pretty scrapped up, her clothes ripped to pieces and not to mention the liquid that poured from her head...other than that though she was fine now that Jenn was there to watch over her. With Jenn holding the cloth too her head it limited the actions in which she could respond so she simply put a smile on her face, hopefully it would have been more than enough to let her know that she was just fine for the most part, the cut would heal in a few days and finding new clothes would be something she would enjoy, since she had never gone shopping before but she was sure that Jenn would have some magical way of restoring her clothes to their original status.
It was the next question that took Vixi by surprise with the arrival of Jenn she had forgotten the man as she was doing her best to try and forget the events that happened that day. The question was more of challenge to answer than the first, whereas the man had not hurt her...but he had scared her quite a bit.... Just as Vixi was about to answer the question her nose twitched as the all too fimilar scent filled her nose, widing her eyes she scanned the area as quickly as she could too find the source. Even in the dimmed light of the woods she could see through the darkness as if her eyes had built in flashlights as the forest surrounds filled her eyes as if clear as day. Spotting Brandon hiding deep within the bushes watching the two of them; though the gasp was reactionary in nature she couldn't hold herself back as it escaped from her mouth, with the only protection being Jenn she did the only thing she could think of and ducked into the cover of the woman's embrace, during all the while her body shook with fear as the images of the dragon being killed drilled into her vision making her whimper with fear.

[Jenn PL: 65,351] It was a tremendous relief to see Vixi's reaction as she burst through the treeline, if she was capable of her normal excited responses then there was a very good chance that she was not injured too badly, once Jenn and Vixi released one another and Jenn set herself upon the task of bandaging up Vixi's head wound Jenn was able to take a moment to take stock of Vixi's status, for the most part she seemed fine there were a few minor bumps cuts and bruises that she had likely accrued while dashing through the trees but overall she was fine and it showed. Her smile was more than enough of a 'I'm alright' for Jenn to not have to worry that the girl was suffering from any internal damage, Vixi while a bit naive was more than smart enough to tell her if something was hurting especially while she was presently bandaging her. "I'm so glad you're alright." Jenn said giving the girl another quick hug, the more time she spent with her the more Jenn began to enjoy having Vixi around it was in many ways much like when she had first started traveling with Vitam though this time it was without the depressing weight of a world being torn apart by a psychotic genie. The only real danger was Kemuri and he appeared to be more than fine to just sit up in his castle and enjoy being king while likely plotting what he would do after his 'victory'. Jenn's eyes narrowed as she felt another energy signature growing close, she'd been blind to it's approach initially because she'd been so focused on Vixi but now that she knew Vixi would be alright and her only 'major' injury was bandaged the presence was hard to ignore and it came just a few moments after she asked Vixi about the man, Jenn could feel that the power that had drawn near was in fact the same man and Vixi's reaction told Jenn everything she needed to know even if it was not necessarily the truth of the situation. To Jenn Vixi's fearful reaction to the man's arrival was all just confirmation. The man HAD hurt her in some way, if she had to guess he was the cause of the large cut on her forehead probably a wound caused by the gauntlet. Jenn felt her aura ignite again at the thought, a magical artifact a POWERFUL magical artifact had been used to harm Vixi. There was no telling what the effects of such a thing might be or if it even did do more than just cause the scratch. For now it seemed unlikely that it had done more as Vixi's energy level was stable but Jenn was in no mood to take any risks. "One moment Vixi." Jenn said patting the girl on the head and giving her a friendly smile as she pulled away from her and turned in the direction of the unknown human. He'd started moving away and thankfully he was not moving particularly fast, the fool probably thought she'd gotten too caught up in reuniting with Vixi to remember him. Oh was he wrong. In the blink of an eye Jenn darted from Vixi's position back into the surrounding trees closing the distance between Vixi and the man in a matter of moments, he was weak VERY weak and she was at the height of the power she could call upon with the bracers still in place. The fool wouldn't even stand a chance, Jenn felt a burning sensation rip through her shoulder and for a brief moment Jenn thought she heard the rumbling of a thunderstorm and almost on instinct Jenn pointed her hand at the man and a bolt of lightning erupted from her palm making a beeline for the likely utterly unsuspecting man, even if he DID expect an attack it was unlikely he could even fend off or avoid the attack due to the the discrepancy in power between them. Jenn saw sudden flashes of memory, of events in her life from long ago Abednego's words rang through her head once more as she remembered him placing his massive claw in her shoulder in the very same spot which now burned with power. What had the old dragon done? He had never spoke of imparting anything like this on her but she could feel his energy once again it was as if Abednego was there beside her but just as quickly as the feeling came the power began to blend with her own mingling and finally becoming one. The feeling of new power coursing through her was exhilarating and only served to fuel the vicious nature of her Efreeti transformation, it especially loved the power, and assuming the fool didn't outright die from the first blast perhaps now might be a decent time to give this new power a bit of a workout see exactly what she could do with it and then maybe push a little further just to see him squirm. Jenn internally scowled at THAT thought that wasn't right even if it felt good. She had no interest in torturing the man this was just a show of force to teach him to never hurt Vixi or anyone like her again, he would live because she wanted him to live knowing that there was someone who was more than capable of tearing him apart out there just waiting for him to step out of line again. [OOC: If Brandon has any funky 'this is a dragon' sense the lightning attack and Jenn herself probably read as 'dragon' at the moment]

Brandon was almost too distracted when something in his head tingled. "Verlith what is..." He started to ask, but Verlith interrupted with "Look out!". Howeer, he was too late as the bolt hit Brandon head on, causing electricity to surge throughout his body. "Naaaagh!" he cried out, as he soon collapsed to his knees.
The smell of burnt flesh tingled in his nose, as some strands of his hair were on fire. He groaned as he put the small flames out, and then slowly rose up to his feet. He felt dizzy from that attack, but he turned to face his attack, and saw it had been the woman from before. "W...What the hell was that for?!" He said, as his bracelet soon started to glow, and shin brightly, as the same light covered part of his arm. When the glow died down, it revealed a fingerless gauntlet like weapon, and his Powerlevel had doubled.
"Brandon? Be careful. I sense that this women...somehow, has the ability to use Dragon magic. Very powerful. In my current state, we do not stand a chance of beating her, let along blocking another attack." Verlith warned Brandon, who stood his ground. Smoke came off of his recently seared clothes as Brandon had to think of how to deal with such a girl. If she was this aggressive, leaving her with Vixi seemed like a very bad idea, and he wouldnt have any of it.
"I know what your thinking Brandon, and its suicide." He added, as Brandon patted out a small flame on his shirt as he replied "I dont care, If anything else happens to that fox girl, Ill never forgive myself..."

Cowering in Jenn's bosom, Vixi shook with fear as the images played over and over once more in her vision, even with her eyes shut as tight as they were it didn't cease the generation of them, like a plague they swarmed her mind until it got to the point where it was all she could think about, even once this whole escapade was over she would still see the visions, they would be even worse when she went to sleep; just more fuel to feed her seemingly endless nightmares. Ribbons of tears poured down her cheeks at such a thought which only added more to the stress she was feeling at the moment, with her defenses breaking down one by one it wasn't a surprise to her that small sobs followed quickly after the droplets from her face.
Though Vixi hadn't meant to answer Jenn's question in such a manner the woman seemed to pick up that the man had caused her some type of harm, which wasn't exactly true... whereas yes, Vixi was scare of Brandon for what he had done he hadn't really hurt her. It wasn't his fault that he didn't know of her opposition towards fighting or killing, but mentally she was going to be scarred for quite awhile; being able recall most everything that happened to her in the past this was going to be one of the memories that corrupted her mind for years to come; sleeping had never come easy to her after she joined the world of the living and now it looked like such a thing would be even more difficult than before.
Patting Vixi on the head, Jenn pulled away from the girl as she looked upon her with question at why she would leave her side so quickly after finding her once again; Brandon was still out there watching them from the woods and even though he was slowly walking away from her she could still feel a chill running down her spine. Vixi tried to reach out and grasp Jenn when she turned to face the thicket but before she could clasp onto her arm the woman vanished so quickly that her eyes couldn't preceieve where she had just gone off too. Thinking that she was going to get a hold onto Jenn she hadn't planned for such a sudden leave of absence from her side, now caught off balance Vixi's weight was more than enough to send her filliping forward off the broken log. If it hadn't been for the slightly dazed and shocked state she was in it would have been very simple for her to gracefully roll into a ball and land safely but in her given state she smacked straight into the forest floor below.
Already her head had been throbbing with pain feeling as her head was going to split open but the extra force from the fall hadn't done much to help it along in the healing process, rather she yelling out in a muffled howl as dirt filled her mouth. Seeing flashes of light against her closed eyes she pushed off with her hands and rolled forward, slapping her legs out in her front of herself. Ears drooping down agasint the top of her head, a mouth full of dirt and ripped bandaging covering her eye she was even more of a mess than before Jenn arrived, and all she could do was sit there quietly crying through a mouth full of soil...and a worm.

Jenn was actually somewhat impressed, the human had taken the attack and not only managed to climb back onto his feet and even had the wherewithal to turn to face her, Jenn could feel her blood pumping so very quickly the rush from the sudden influx of energy was like nothing she had ever felt before, she felt her hand pall into fists as he spoke but his words were droned out by a roar in the back of her mind and she felt herself beginning to shift once again, it was much like her battle with Anri the shifting was done almost on instinct alone her features becoming a bit sharper and a layer of tough scales forming over her skin, unlike her battle with Anri however the scales were a brilliant sapphire color much like Abednego's scales had been when she had last seen the mighty dragon.
As Jenn's body shifted so to did the gauntlet on the humans arm it began to glow brightly suddenly becoming far more weapon-like and with the transformation of the artifact came a sudden surge of power from the Human, Jenn watched as his power surged but once it finished she smirked in amusement, it had certainly been a rather impressive rate of growth but ultimately futile and really all it meant was that she would have to do less to ensure his survival of this battle, he was now likely strong enough to sustain a few powerful strikes, he had prooved himself a bit more durable than expected having taken the lightning bolt technique with minimal issue so certainly now he would be able to take a bit more.
With the humans 'transformation' complete Jenn rocketed forward, the distance between them was quite short and in a matter of moments Jenn was upon him a fierce look in her eyes as she lashed out with a single powerful strike a backhanded smack aimed directly at the humans face intended to send him flying either into the forest or into a tree if possible. Jenn kept a solid lock on Vixi's energy signature ensureing that it was still in the same place she had left the girl and that it was remaining stable, thankfully both her position an energy were stable though Jenn would have no actual idea that Vixi was despite this still not in the best condition. She didn't exactly like leaving Vixi behind so soon but the man needed to be dealt with and the process of doing so would take very little time.

Brandon didnt know what the other girl was doing, but something about her was changing. When he saw her rocket towards him and attempted to hit him, He immediately threw up his arms and his shield technique in an attempt to block the attack, but her hand broke through the shield, shattering it like glass as her limb hit his arm, causing pain to shoot up through it, but it held off the attack from hitting his face.
"well, Seems like you are able to barely block a mere backhand Brandon, But dont let her do a full on attack, or your toast." Brandon heard Verlith say, as Brandon quickly formed a fireball in his free hand, while his other held back the strange woman. "I dont normally hurt women, but for you Ill make an exception!" He said to Jenn, as the fireball grew larger, as flames started to snake around his arm. He would then bring it up and attempt to use his Dragon Star Technique against Jenn at point blank range. If he was successful, Jenn would get blasted by a beam of fire.
But Afterwards, both Brandon, Jenn and Vixi would hear a roar from the distance. Birds immediately took flight in fear of what made the roar, as forest animals started to run away as fast as they could. It was then the trio, should they have energy sensing capabilities, could feel something absolutely massive was heading in their direction. "Brandon, Something is coming! And judging by the energy I sense, Its far more massive then this woman's own energy! I have never felt anything like it before...." Verlith said, causing Brnadon to become uneasy. He would hope that this other woman would sense the incoming danger as well...

The shattering sound of the lighting smacking upon the ground was more than enough to snap Vixi out of her sobbing daze, still sitting there on the ground she glanced around the surrounding area to try and make sense of what she had just heard; distracted by the pain that was causing her head to ring she hadn't noticed the rolling in clouds from above nor the bright light generated by the lighting. A first glance around the area didn't reveal much to the girl as she could really sense was the smell of something cooking on the air...almost like someone was grilling a steak or bacon; even in the condition that she was in stomach was the first thing to react even giving off a small growl of hunger, as even a line of drool leaked down her chin. Letting her tongue roll of from her mouth the chuck of dirt that had been lodged inside was released from its imprisonment and plopped down into the grass in front of her with a mushy sound.
Off in the distance she could fiantly make out Jenns scent through the tanglement of trees, flowers and left over scents from the woods creatrures, it didn't smell like she was that far off but it was hard to tell, but it seemed like Brandon was with her as well; she wonder what it might be that they were doing over there? Jenn had left in quite a hurry, even her goodbye seemed to have a sharp tone too it which she found odd, usually Jenn was a pretty happy, caring person, what could have caused her to act in such a way? Vixi did her best to think logically about what was happening but with her under developed mind the answer she sought for was just out of her tiny grasp. The over taxing stress of just trying to think was more than her injured head could do and as the pain began to grow once more so she gave up on trying to solve the mystery.
Placing her hands on the base of the fallen tree Vixi pushed against its rough bark and got herself back on her feet once more, she wanted to find Jenn and go home, she was tired of this place and just wanted a warm pillow to snuggle up against. Though Vixi was used to sleeping out side she had grow to liking sleeping on a pillow inside of a tent, it was so much warmer and cozier than out in the open venerable to natures whims, and as far as a home went for her, Vixi stayed where Jenn stayed at. Outside Jenn, Vixi didn't have anyone else she could call a friend, she had her father but he was no where to be found so until the day she would find him she was going to stick with Jenn no matter where she went.
Getting a hold of her self she steadied her body against the trunk doing her best to stabilize her footing before trying to get a start too where Jenn was at. The two hits to her head had done more than she expected at first making her vision twirl in a mix of colors from the surrounding wood, such a vision was making her sick to her stomach with exterminating the feeling of hunger she had a few seconds earlier. Doing her best to push the feeling down Vixi focused on the path ahead of her and took her first steps deeper into the woods were hopefully she would find Jenn.
It was difficult going but the further she moved the easier was becoming as the reward of making it to Jenn was just enough to dull out the head pain and urge to vomit. Little less than twenty feet into her journey did a great roar shoot through the woods making the leaves fall down from the high branches of the trees; not expecting such a intensive roar Vixi tripped forward towards a nearby tree. Even as caught off guard as she was this time she had manged to break her fall by catching herself on the bark of the tree. Recovering from the fallen Vixi's eyes shot up in panic as her eyes raced through the thicket to make sense of what she had just heard.

Jenn's now scaled-over eyebrow twitched in surprise as she watched the human summon forth a fairly solid defense against her attack, arms raised in a decent enough defensive position and overlayed with a energy field the defense was enough to remove the majority of the power behind her backhand, it had still had a rather clear effect on the human but he was still standing firm, were he not a precieved threat to Vixi she would have almost been impressed with the effort, unfortunately for him a simple backhand was far from the best offense she could muster there were an almost innumerable amount of ways she could assault him from here and all of them would be far more powerful than her body's own strength. He stood no actual chance that much was obvious and yet he would not run, that either made him rather brave or incredibly idiotic, Jenn felt inclined to believe it was the latter.
Jenn pulled back slightly after her 'failed' attack and watched how the human reacted, rather than simply setting up a defense of some sort it appeared he was going on the offensive now an incredibly surprising turn of events but perhaps it was simply the only option he considered viable, escape was clearly not on his mind and even if it was the power difference between them meant that unless he had some ability to greatly boost his speed he could not escape, defense had already failed him unless he was holding something back, so perhaps offense was where he believed a chance lay. If he could muster enough time perhaps a charged up attack might do the job but as the human drew his arm back it became clear that was not the case. Jenn felt the shift in her physical structure complete itself she could feel now that her body was coated in scales, some such as those on her face were less overtly bulky but more densely packed leaving her features more or less the same while adding defensive strength.
It was upon the completion of the shift that Jenn realized there was something a bit more about the change this time, she'd allowed to sort of passive heat-of-the-moment shifting to do it's thing just as she had against Anri but these scales were in some way different, before they had been little more than an extension of her skin, just as susceptible to pain as the rest of her body but these were for lack of better term more 'real' in how they felt. This revaluation came as the human launched his attack and a wave of flame overtook her, the flames were quite powerful but she'd endured MUCH worse before and Jenn felt a sort of smug satisfaction as the last of the flames washed over her and she felt no worse for ware, between the discrepancy in power and these new scales the technique was quite ineffective. "Was that it?" Jenn said in a mocking tone her voice gaining a low growl to it as she looked upon the human showing no overt signs of injury save for damage to her armor what flames clung to the tough leather were patted away shortly after her statement.
Jenn's attention was drawn away from the human as she sensed two rather important things, firstly that Vixi was beginning to move from where she had left her and was unfortunately making a staggered pace toward her position and on top of that another energy signal was coming in from much further off but at a rather significant pace and of course there was a very good chance it was also making a beeline for her position. "Wonderful..." Jenn muttered with heavy sigh, she looked to the human to see how or if at all he had reacted to the roar and the power and he looked quite perturbed, resisting the urge to attack Jenn sighed once more "Go, I think I've made my point well enough, If whats coming is a threat you'll only be in my way and I wont hesitate to blast through you." Jenn warned with luck he would do as she said and leave if that was the case then she could make an effort to escape with Vixi and if the incoming energy signature did not pursue then all the better for her.

Scales of the Blue Dragon (Passive Defense)
Shifting a layer of thick dragon scales over her skin Jenn gains a measure of increased durability, these scales also provide a slightly greater measure of defense against electric techniques and general heat effects*
*Does not provide further defense against FIRE but rather against heat such as the heat of a flame or the oppressive heat of a desert.

Brandon watched as the flames overtook jenn. He felt like he had won, but later revealed that not only was Jenn unharmed, but her 'armor had prevented any damage at all. "What...the hell...." He mumbled to himself, as he saw that Jenn was also reacting to the roar, and she seemed just as worried as he was. After telling him to go because of the incoming threat, Verlith said "I have a feeling it wont make a difference if you ran or not." as the large energy signature was getting closer and closer. The rubies on Brandons gauntlets started to glow as the energy drew near. "Thats weird... Never has done that before..." He said, ignoring Jenns warning to leave. The gems on his gauntlet glowed brightly as the sound of large wings flapping in the night was heard, as a wind kicked up. Brandon covered his eyes to keep the dust as the creature roared again. It was deafening as it landed with a loud crash on the ground. It towered nearly 35 feet above everyone present, as what light sources there were made the gems on its body flicker. Its claws gripped into the earth infront of it, as it spoke with a deep voice "Mu grind ahst laat Dovahkiin. Hi ahrk hin fahdon fen nid lingrahiik kriist ko un ven orlaas un drog!"Brandon just looked confused after the dragon spoke. He still didnt understand the language of the dragons, but Verlith did. "You wont like this Brandon, but this....Dragon, is here for you! Run for it!" As Brandon heard what Verlith said, he immediately turned, and jumped with superhuman strength, using his projection technique, away from the dragon. But the dragon wouldnt have any of that as it ignored Jenn, and opened its mouth as it charged up an energy attack.

The fear of the sound quickly melted away from Vixi's mind as she sensed on the air that Jenn had broken off from Brandon and seemed to be heading towards her location, hopefully they would find each other before whatever made that sound found either of them; even though the noise had vainished from the woods she could still feel its mightly quake sending quivers through her skin making her more nervous than she had been when she had first heard it. Only something with a great amount of strength could have such a abiity to strike fear in others without having to be very close not to mention she could feel its energy pulsating through the trees and enveloping her like waves from a tsunami.
Finding the short journey was already difficult enough as it was, the looming presence made her legs turn to jelly which only rendered her trek to a crawl as she found she couldn't muster the energy to fend off such a power. With her hands still latched onto the bark of the tree Vixi slumped to the ground heaving for air, whatever if was that had generated such a sound it was defiantly coming in their direction, from the sound alone it was big enough to swat trees away with a single blow of its body as the cracking sounds of timber rang for all of those nearby to hear.
Another crashing sound filled the forest as the ground beneath Vixi shook with a tremor cuasing piles of leave too brake from the branches and come drifting down upon her, if it had not been for the fear that welled up inside of her it she would be laughing and trying to catch the falling leaves. Covering her head with her arms she shielded herself from most of the falling debris of branches and greenery, though none of it would have caused any serious damage to the girl she wasn't about to let any thing else hurt her today, especially not a some random twig; those evil trees were out to get her.
Not long after the mini earthquake did a booming voice shake the woods once more, sending what ever remaining leaves cascading down to the forests floor, leaving Vixi covered in a pile of shaking leaves. Powerless to act against such a force Vixi decided it was best for her to stay hidden in the dark piles of cover, Jenn would show up soon enough to save her and then they could go home and eat snacks....
