"Well then, let's begin shall we little girl." Sanen simply stated with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah." Maya arrogantly replied. "You better live up to such words. You think you are superior or something?" She scoffed. "So, how will this work?"

"I suggest you use a weapon."

"Have it your way." At that she draws her ARM the same time Sanen goes in to strike with the staff. In response the blonde blocks with her ARM up. After parrying that blow she fires off at Sanen who dodges aside. Before she can change her direction Sanen throws a few jabs with his free fist sending Maya back into the adjacent wall. "Cheat!" She argued. "That staff just proves to me that you are weak!"

"Are you crazy?" Sanen wondered. "You are obviously mistaken. I guess I'll have to show you my power then."

"Your power? More like the power of the staff and the demon power it holds!" Maya bitterly returned. "You are really nothing in the end."

In rage Sanen swings out at her, but she ducks away, but is soon caught and thrown into the wall again by a swing of the staff. Just as Sanen goes to ram her stomach with the staff a bullet changes the trajectory of the staff's end and makes it hit the wall instead.

"I can't let you hurt a lady—even though she's a tricky devil." Gallows remarks as he stands at the room's entrance with his ARM raised.

"Another fool?" Sanen mutters.

"I don't need your help!" Maya shouted back.

"Jeez. I just saved you and you say that? Show some gratitude." Gallows gives a shrug before running out into the corridor to meet Sanen head on. While his attention was diverted Maya jumped to her feet and put Sanen into a body hold. Gallows punched Sanen and hit the man with his gun seeing that he did not want to fire rounds and instead hit Maya.

Sanen is able to break free and conducts a spin hitting each aside with the Staff of the Sky. "I think it's time that I show you what I can really do with this staff!" At that the staff illuminated in a golden aura blinding all in the room again as Sanen's body absorbs the staff. However, this is not without side-effect. His form is lost to that of the demon who once held the staff. His body grew in mass while his skin became a green-gray. His eyes dilated and simply were as if he had nothing there aside from white eventually. "Now to finish you all and awake my desire! Starting with..." He scans the room. "Aura!" Sanen seemingly glides toward her, but Alfred jumps in the way.

"You won't harm her!" Alfred not having any weapon on immediate hand throws a punch that does not even make Sanen take notice of it. Sanen simply pushes Alfred aside and the frail boy hits the wall hard leaving a dent and collapses to the floor.

"Alfred!" Aura runs to him as Sanen turns to go for her, but he stops short.

"Hey! You're still fighting me buddy!" Maya said as she fired at him. Her shots deflecting off his skin.

"Ugh...me too! Leave Aura out of this!" Jet stood in a stagger.

"Hey, I was here. This is my fight and I will have that staff." Maya argued.

"I was here first." Jet argued.

"Pheh. Fine. Than we call it a draw and see who can get it first." Maya replied.

"Have it your way. I will take on both of you." Sanen replied as he turned for them. "It actually sounds fun."

After seeing that her ARM was of no use the two Drifters decide on an unmentioned double-team punch on Sanen's face, but it's as if Sanen simply dissolves and goes through them stopping at their backsides as they are left in utter shock punching air. In that moment Sanen uses the staff's power to blow the two aside with a wave of wind. Possibly wind arcana.

Rebounding off the walls with a kick the two fly back at Sanen throwing two kicks to his neck. As they land they watch as Sanen simply just stands as if nothing happened. Again, they are blown away by an unknown wind power. Relentless the two get back up and run back to punch Sanen, and again he moves leaving Maya's fist to land in Jet's nose as Jet's totally misses her body.

"What are you doing?" Jet roared grabbing his nose.

"H-He moved." Maya defended.

It was then that Sanen sent a kick to Maya's gut sending her gliding across the floor and stopping at the wall. Jet does a body slam knocking Sanen back a foot. Maya comes back with a kick that again does no damage. Sanen turns to her and uses his wind energy wave again to throw Maya into the wall and into unconsciousness. Turning his attention back to Jet he throws multiple punches, but Jet is able to clear a jump over the empowered cult leader and land at his hind side avoiding all attacks. Unfortunately the unknown wind attack is capable of being used with a thought and Jet is thrown upwards into the ceiling, and then lets Jet fall to the floor with a near splat. Still, Jet gets up. Sanen lunges for Jet, but the gray haired man is able to move aside from it. Sanen simply snatches Jet at the collar of his black shirt and tosses him to the entrance where Aura yelps when he just misses her while she was looking after Alfred.

"Ugh...How can I beat this bastard?" Jet moaned.

Footsteps stop just before touching Jet's hair as he lied on the ground. "Get up idiot." Clive simply stated.

"What did you say?" Jet wondered why Clive would say something that was not Clive-like.

"I have what you need to beat him. It's rather quite simple and only you can do this, so...get up. It's not over just yet."

Jet stood in an instant. "So, you got something? What is it?"

"To counter the power of the demon's Staff of the Sky the humans created the Sword of the Earth." Clive mentioned.

"And, you have this thing?" Jet wondered.

Clive forks over a sword in it's sheathe. "I should-"Jet drew the hilt from the sheathe only to find no blade whatsoever. Jet looks to Clive with a confused agitated look. "Yeah, I found that odd as well." Clive replied fixing his glasses on his nose.

"You brought me this?" Jet asked in all seriousness. "I should have known. What good are you?"

"Heh. It was a valiant effort." Sanen commented. "Die!" Sanen send a blast for the two by the door, and it hits Jet dead-on. He had tried to raise his hands in time to block, but only got in a wave of his right hand. And, the blast flung itself into the left wall away from Aura and Alfred.

They stood silent for a moment as Jet realized he was a-okay. "Uh, what just happened?" He wondered.

"In your hand." Clive stated. In Jet's right hand had been the hilt of The Sword of the Earth.

"Maybe...it is of some use." Jet said with a grin.
