Ayn: *Grows angry* Rand! Get your ass down here, now!

*The voice grows softer, warmer* Now now, Ayn, no need to be angry.. I've only summoned you here to ask a favor of you..

Ayn: Summoned? Favor? Well no way in hell did you summon me here, and no way in hell am I doing you a favor. *Unsheathes her sword*

So be it... *A tall man, wearing a black overcoat with shoulder-length blond hair descends from the sky*

Rand: Long time no see, Ayn..

Rand: *Gives #1 an icy cold stare* Nothing too serious.. I just need her and her sister to tell me how to use this stone.. *Holds a shining stone with swirling grey clouds inside of it in his fingertips, then quickly puts it away*
Ayn: ...What? I don't know how to use that.. that cursed rock..
Rand: Of course you do. It was a trait passed down to you by your mother.
Ayn: Mom.. *Grows angry again* What the hell did you do to my mom? You coward..
Rand: *Smiles wickedly* I did nothing. I promised your mother I would never lay a finger on you, her, or any member of your family. So naturally, I had someone else do my dirty work.

Yeah, enough bullshit. *Charges Ranna with electricity, causing it to glow and sparks to fly from around his feet.*

Rand: *Grins in Gale's direction* You seem a bit.. edgy.. Are we... hiding something? You seem to feel guilty.. Eyes don't lie, my friend.

*Turns to face Ayn* I'll give you two choices.. Either you tell me how to use the stone, or you die. Like I said earlier, I promised not to touch either of you, so I will have to use others to kill you for me. *Smiles at the three men*

*scoffs at D1's comment and continuous to make his way toward Rand* The mistake you making I'd thinking that guilt will hinder me. *Sin glows and then a black fire engulfs the blade* I don't care what you know or what you shall reveal. It won't change your fate.

*A man in green hops down from one of the trees*

Man: I am the forest gaurdian and you have been doing much wrong in this place. I heard all you have said and you will pay for it with you life...
*moves his hand and a few trees come out of the ground and start swinging at Rand* This whole forest is my ally...Your pathetic, to cowerdly to fight on your own...

Rand: *Laughs curtly* You will all become my puppets.. *Thrusts Ray of Light into the ground, splitting the earth below him.. Several silver masses shoot out from the ground, flying in every which way*

Meet my synthetic demons. See if you can avoid them.. *Laughs again and steps back to watch*

*Begins to summon a ball of black magic, but his hands just let out a crackling noise and nothing happens*

Damn it. . seems that magic doesn't work in the forest. . I'm out. . I have no weapons. Anybody has anything to spare?

Peh, you're too pathetic to fight for yourself... *Slashes a demon in half, sending electricity coursing through both halves. Blasts another demon aside and runs to aide Gale in his demon-clearing.*

One, take my second sword! *Tosses a sheathed mythril blade to #1, the one Erdrick made him a good while back.*

*One of the demons is sliced in half at the mercy of Sin, and it quivers in mid-air*

Rand: *Chuckles to himself* You're not helping yourself by slicing those things.. They only split into two.. a simple technique I borrowed from simple organisms, such as the earthworm.

*The split demon has now become two, and they both fly at Gale's face*

*Catches the sword offered to him by Fury and examiens it's beauty before noticing a zombie charging at him. #1 kicks it down and stabs it right through the chest*

*Spins his sword around and once again stabs the zombie but this time in the head. He then steps on the head, crushing it. At that exact moment a zombie jumps on his back, and #1 struggles to get him off but can't without damage to himself. He then feels the hand of the zombie piercing through his back but without pain, as though trying to possess him, #1 struggles some more*

Damnit! Someone get this thing off of me!

Rand: *Sees Gale coming at him, and holds his right palm right out in Gale's direction.. His fingertips spark with black electricity, and a large vortex forms at the center of his palm.. A large demon, about 7 feet in height emerges and charges at Gale*

*One of the demons falls to the ground from Fury's electric blast, then slowly floats to his face, then screeches, baring red, ooze-dripping teeth, then attempts to blind him by spitting the acidic ooze in Fury's eyes*

Ayn: Holy.... *Runs to #1 and sends her sword straight through the demon's back and lifts it slowly still attached to her sword*

*Is relieved to have the zombie off his back. He reaches over his shoulder and touches the area where he felt the zombie piercing, the small hole in his back was sealing up*

What are these things. . ? They keep coming, too.

Rand: Very good! Very good, indeed. *Turns to Ayn, who has moved to stand in front of Bianca, protecting her* You have one last chance to tell me how to activate this stone, or both of you die*
Ayn: *Spits at the ground by Rand's feet* Even if I knew, there'd be no way in hell that I'd tell you.
Rand: *Shakes his head* I'm sorry we had to do this the hard way then. *Looks at Fury* Kill one of the girls. I don't care which.
Ayn: Dammit! *Looks down at Bianca* Run! Get out of here!
