Some where in the country side, among the wispy wind and silent trees something make a mechanical whine, under a small cliff a hidden door that would fit in the old Adam West Batman show opened and revealed a dark tunnel. A deep and low rumble filled the air, two lights appeared as the rumbling grown louder by the second. A huge tank barreled right out of tunnel, it seem as if it was coming out from hell. Within in it Raimundo and Jack were preparing themselves to take on Wuya and her forces, the tank was placed on a auto-pilot that was connected to Jack's Shen-Gong-Wu locator.
"When we get into range we'll scope out her hide away and see if we can break through and stop her quickly" Jack said as he polished the gun.
"Understood" Raimundo said as he checked over sword, "how long until we get there?"
"The locator cleared out a path and we'll get there in eight hours" Jack said.

Byakko knew they were coming, there was no stopping them where they were now. He knows that would be suicide to try with little to no cover, now here in the forest he had everywhere to go and tons of ways of wrapping them. He chuckled as he used his dark powers to sense how far they are, that's when he notice a element of lightning.
Seiryu!
He turn around and faced the slightly angered god, he was clenching and unclenching his fist.
"What the... Hell! The enemy is coming towards the castle and YOU are waiting here in the forest near the castle" He said trying to keep the anger in his voice down. "You are element earth, the desert is the poster child for earth!"
"Isn't this part of the element of 'earth'?" Byakko asked as he was shocked Seiryu was acting this way, "I mean the forest grows out of the earth."
Seiryu sighed and rub his temple, "'Earth' strengthen 'wood' but it is a element of it's own because it moves in the wind, so it's a stand in for the wind and this," he waved around his arms, "is not earth, it's wood. The desert is earth!"
Byakko was at a lost for words but said nothing, deep down he knew Seiryu is right. He hang his head down, then in a gust of wind and leaves he disappears.
............................
Byakko appears on top of a large cliff over the entire desert, he try to hold back tears as he felt much heartache. Seiryu used him for sex and that's it, these idiots are the perfect punching bag for him.
............................
The assault tank roared across the sand and wind, Jack was now driving and Raimundo was in the passenger seat. He looked over the large panel of switches and buttons and pointed towards the one of them and asked what they did.
"That's this thing?"
"A radar..... Hey, there's something ahea-" Jack turn his attention at the large blur that was in front of the tank, Jack looked around everywhere and then settle down. "Must have got caught in the wheels."
While the two boys were having a small laugh beneath them Byakko's anger grew by the moment, he was clutching the frame of the tank and since metal empowers earth he might as well as use that advantage to his need. His body became something of a liquid state as he merge with the tank, he slowly disappeared and speared his power through the floor. The areas he was infecting shot upward in a large sharp spike, which in turn shot out thin spikes that shot out spikes of there own, Jack let go of the tank wheel and lost control. The tank turn sharply and tipped, landing on it's side it slid for a few feet then stopped, within Jack and Raimundo were on top of each other in a very painful position.
"You okay?" Jack asked as he pushed himself up.
"Gotta remember this for later" Raimundo said as he got up, he checked the weapons with Jack and found a lot of them were ruined in the attack, what is useful is a special gun called the "soul cannon" and a nodachi.
"Here" Jack said as he gave the nodachi to Raimundo.
........................
Byakko watched the tank, there wasn't any movement around or outside of the tank but he knew those two were still alive. He was growing very impatient of them, he was going to go rattle the tank himself.
Just as he was about to slid off the rock he was sitting on when the entire thing exploded into a shower of dust. He could see Jack or maybe one of the Jackbots holding a gun, Byakko suddenly notice a shadow over him and moved quick enough avoid getting split in two by Raimundo. The young Brazilian advanced with a thrust and missed, a downward swing may have scuttled the earth a bit but Byakko was still unharmed. Byakko countered with a uppercut and a jab, Raimundo avoided them both and attempted a overhead slash, Byakko was fast enough to catch the blade with his hands and kick the Brazilian in the sternum. This prove to be a mistake as Raimundo held tight onto the nodachi and pulled it out of the white tiger god's grip, cutting Byakko's palms in the process.
Raimundo took this chance and send the tip through his throat.

Collasping to her knees and holding her head she knew another fell, and this time when the spectural string broke, it hurt!
"Lady Wuya!" Suzaku said as she was right by her side, "wait here, I'll get help."
"No" Wuya said through the pain, "find Seiryu and tell him to kill that brat!" Then she began to scream some more as the pain got worse, Suzaku stood there shaking from fear.
The fear of losing her.
Suzaku picked Wuya up and carried her to her bed.
