Schala Zeal & Reiner
@Ver @Yun Lee @Capri @Crunch @Takumi @Jeremi @Minerva @Lucky @Gummi Bunnies @Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Atomic Knight @Others?
Deep down, Schala knew, as much as she hated to admit it. That feeling that Revan gave him was similar, if not identical to the one she felt constantly whenever she was in Lavos' presense, or in the Time Eater's grasp. Like a weight on her chest she couldn't quite lift, and now she knew why. Somehow, he must have either replicated, or stolen Chronos' powers.
Her haste spell was but a flimsy reproduction of the magic she once wielded, magic that allowed her to traverse the boundaries of time and space, and even bend it around her very body. All she was physically capable of with her magic alone was slowing down the world around her for just a few moments. In those moments, she would try and build up as much speed and magic in her body as she could, dealing decisive blows to her target.
But with Revan able to stop time at will, she wasn't sure what she could do against him.
Clutching at her throat, coughing as she tried to catch her breath, she took the opportunity when she got pushed away to concentrate, reforming the blade in her left hand into some kind of wrist brace, carefully fishing out that dreamstone she carried on her from one of her dress pockets. Swiftly, she used her magic to levitate it towards the magical brace she had formed, closing her eyes as she used more of her magic to manifest a shield, with a similar texture and glow to the blade in her right hand.
Only now, it had the additional, reddish glow of the dreamstone in it's center.
It was a gamble to place her hopes on magic she wasn't even sure she could still cast, but it was better than nothing. If she could keep up with Revan despite all his strength, even for a moment... There might just be hope yet.
Chronos was still alive.
And some way... Some how, she was going to keep him alive.
Seeing Lapis preparing to cast a spell against Revan, one that was taking a heavy toll on her body, not to mention what was happening with Billy. There was a wince as she slowly walked towards Revan, having gotten her breath back for now. Her eyes spotted Deadpool for a moment, attempting to reach Chronos, and a small smile crossed her face as she realized that there might be another way to at least prevent the worst case scenario from happening, even if they couldn't beat Revan here and now.
"Billy... If you've lost your faith. Then, I'll keep believing for you! No matter what... We can't lose hope! Even with these odds!" She shouted.
With that, she raised that elemental shield she had created, focusing as she tried to channel magical energy through the dreamstone, like she would have if she were to open a time gate. She wasn't sure how well it would work, or if it would even at all, but at least, she knew that she would have the best chance with Revan's attention elsewhere.
She feigned another strike, like she performed before with that swift movement and simultaneous strikes with her blades, except this time, she intended to use the power of her dreamstone to even the odds, using her shield to both defend against attacks coming her way, and hopefully allowing her to move through stopped time, if her plan worked as intended anyways.
...
Reiner could feel his armor, and even his very body beginning to strain underneath Bane's raw strength. The man was much stronger than him, even with the strength of the armored titan in his own body.
Unlike his battle with Eren, it wasn't any special technique or advantage in speed that put him in a bad spot. It was just strength, pure strength.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lapis begin to strain herself, causing him to grit his teeth, even as Majima aimed to strike Bane from behind.
"Have to... Hold on... Have to... Help... Her!" He grunted under his breath, trying desperately to gain an upper hand.
And then it hit him. The techniques that had torn off his titan's very limbs... The hold that shattered his armor.
Perhaps that was the key.
He suddenly shifted his weight, focusing his hardening on his left leg as he performed a kick with all his strength on Bane's legs. The first step would be toppling his opponent, and from there, he would have to move quickly, before they had a chance to get their bearings again.
