Silv walked up to the battlefield. As she waited for her opponent to appear, she cursed at the sight and knowledge of Xigbar. It had been quite some time ago since she had seen the Nobody, but he had been fooling around her all that time and then just fled without finishing their battle. Surely it was due to the objective had been met, but she had been unable to do a single thing because he had been keeping her off her job. This time she planned to cut the monkey out of the air, it especially was annoying to have to fight a gun-user again.
This time she had been prepared. As the battle started, she dropped her axe into the ground as her body started to give first a bit of a green glow, her form started to become more wavering. "Mirage..." Right away afterwards the axe sliced through the ground as it glew up green as well. The entire swing went forward and the green glow was sent off the axe at the Nobody. "Empty Beleaguer!"
As the attack was sent out, she crouched her legs and started a sprint after her own attack. Ready to attack. Her back started to glow green as well, but nothing so far happened as she readied a Weeper for another attack if required.

The doorway to the Dark Corridor flared up to admit one Nobody from its shadowy recesses. Xigbar, stepping out onto the arena, laid eye upon the silver-haired woman across from him. He wasn’t sure whether it was good or bad that he recognized her face; on one hand it was always good to reacquaint oneself with old war pals, but on the other she probably held some kind of unreasonable grudge against him now. Perfect. However, the Freeshooter did not let his knowledge of her identity escape to outside his head. Instead he scratched his chin, wearing a look that said he was perplexed by Silvia’s obvious resentment toward him. Nothing pissed a gal off like being forgotten, and quite frankly he didn’t feel like trading death glares at the moment.
As the battle’s start was indicated, Xigbar willed his Arrowguns into his grip with a slight flourish, crossing the firearms across his chest as they materialized. There was no need to rush it, as Silv seemed content with using some weird power to augment herself in the meantime. He actually couldn’t recall which one “Mirage” was, or if he had even seen it, but it wasn’t lobbing fireballs at him or anything so he really had no need to interrupt it. Still, it probably would have been easier to just take a shot at her in the meantime. No use spilling milk under the bridge or whatever.
A broad grin split his face as an attack came his way. He wasn’t sure about that first spell, but this was one he remembered. It also had a tendency to, like most primitive projectiles of this era, move in a straight line. Now, there was one really obvious solution to this offensive, and that was to warp right the hell out of its way. Except, she was probably expecting that. Anyone who had encountered him once would come to expect it. Fact was she had some nasty tricks under her belt, and as much as he was risking by staying he would likely just play into her hands with his usual teleportation trickery. So, as the luminous attack (and Silv herself) approached he merely stood in place until the last second. Then, when it seemed he was risking being split in two, he jumped. It was a relatively light spring for him, gaining enough air to just barely clear the attack with his legs raised. But now he was practically at point-blank range with the oncoming woman. Still grinning, he took aim while still airborne and fired a short burst of four shots. If people thought his attacks were hard to avoid before, just wait till they tried dodging from a few feet away!

As Silv rushed forward, she started to get confused when Xigbar stayed standing. Not only that, but the man stayed standing until he was almost split in two. However instead of joy, her face grew fear. Nothing of her last battle with this man showed him doing such a thing, but then again it was that time that he had only been toying with her. Playing with her to buy time for the other two Organization members to stop Stroud, who had that time been the main problem. This situation was entirely different, she couldn't expect him to play with her. He would more likely try to win.
Silv started to doubt that the Xigbar that was nearly hit by her attack wasn't real and quick glances around made her wonder where he went. Only then he suddenly jumped just before getting hit, another action she had not expected. Something she had not foreseen or looked forward to. Neither had she prepared for this. Her preparation was to be able to bend her attack in a different direction in a single instant and attempting to evade getting attacked herself from wherever the man would appear. Except from the front, and this close was just... just a joke! Her body glew up green in an instant as the shots hit her, "Hexagon Belt," she said enraged as she was able to weaken the hits, but still attained damage.
Before even bothering with pain or wounds, she continued her pace and even moved faster than before. She jumped up after Xigbar as she started an attack, "Vanity Dive!" This attack, a charge attack, made her suddenly move with immense speed forward and she swung her axe at the Nobody with all her strength in a moment of rage to attempt cleaving the man in two. She wanted to keep slashing into the man until only shreds remained.

The Nobody’s lone eye gleamed with a devious sort of satisfaction as his small salvo made contact with the oncoming woman. She had managed to minimize the harm to herself with those weird powers of hers, but as long as she had so much as a scratch he did not then he was winning. Unfortunately it did nothing to stop her charge, which was its own problem. Xigbar had hoped his little stunt would slow Silv so that he could get some more distance, but it looks like that wasn’t going to happen. Oh well. Of course, it wasn’t like people hadn’t rushed headlong at him before; it was the sort of thing a person got used to. After a while you just sort of prepared for it. But then, as he fell from the air and she entered it, Silv suddenly seemed to launch at him. Not just a jump, but a sudden boost in acceleration. The fan of his ash-colored ponytail rising in his descent framed his astonished face as she covered the distance between them. He saw the axe arcing for him, and struggled to activate his own powers before he might find himself separated from his waist. There was this moment, as the weapon grew closer and closer, where everything seemed to slow down. He could measure both the distance of the axe and the time at which he would be able to send his body elsewhere. It seemed to take minutes within the confines of his mind, with that blade inching ever closer at speeds rivaling continental drift. His side began to force itself open, flesh parting to admit the weapon’s finely sharpened edge with a great burst of fiery pain.
Xigbar actually teleported somewhere in the middle of receiving this attack, vanishing right off the blade. He appeared somewhere right on the opposite end of the stadium, close to where Silv had originally started, if several feet off the ground. His feet stood atop nothing, the world appearing flipped from his perspective. The inversed backside of Silv stood out though. Grinning, and very much blocking out his bleeding rib for the moment, he took aim and released another volley on the pale-haired woman. As long as she was airborne she would have a hard time avoiding these too, unless she had a way to alter the direction of her fall.

As she saw she was actually doing damage this time. Silv was no longer confused at all. Okay, she could've been wondering why this time she can strike without him flashing around the place or why he hadn't been flashing around. But she didn't care as she was actually ripping the guy in half. Pleased she watched the blood flow from the man, everything seemed to go in slow-motion to her for a moment as she enjoyed the moment. Until the man suddenly did his 'flashing'. The man was gone.
The Messenger of the Emptiness wanted to curse out loud. To scream the Gods together, give Altana a kick in the face and cleave Promathia's faceless head. Although all these things didn't really matter at all with the match she was in. Of course, she suspected the man behind her. She even heard the sounds of more shots taken at her. Still making use of both her Vanity Dive as well as her Mirage, which both faded after this attack. She rapidly grabbed the tail of her axe and sarted spinning it rapidly.
Quickly turning in the air she threw her spinning axe at the man as the arrows hit her body. Green flares and blood came from the wounds, which showed Silv that she had still her human existance even if she had merged with the Emptiness. With a grin she watched her axe spin rapidly towards the up-side-down man. The axe lit up green and smoke came from it, changing the entire form until a green disc was maving rapidly towards the man. An Auroral Drape was now covering the axe, making the axe twice as large and harder to dodge as well as blinding and silencing the foe if hit. That would make the man unable to see and unable to babble his stupid speeches. With the strength behind the blade, those effects wouldn't even appear as the man would be in half.
Silv did expect the man just to warp away, but the axe would spin around the arena in an attempt to hit him. As the pale woman came down, she wondered why she didn't have any potions with her. She had no knowledge in cure magic, so she would have to work with the wounds and arrows in her body.

This gal was proving to be a bit tougher than he had expected. This wasn’t his first tango with her, but had she always been this threatening? Well, maybe he had cut it close with his opening feint. That was his bad. But now that he was back out of her reach things were looking up. While he thought Silv did have some attacks with range that didn’t require throwing her weapon, he was all but certain that his own area of influence was larger. Now it was just a matter of executing the usual stratagem: maintain a good distance from yonder schmuck whilst lighting her up with gunfire. Of course, people seemed to find ways around that once in a while, and on a few occasions his fights had literally ended in loss of life or limb. But details.
Predictably, the woman with locks so argent decided she would chuck her axe again. While Xigbar wasn’t in much of a position to comment on one-trick ponies, that was going to get stale fast. Somewhat less predictable was when the spinning weapon grew into a giant-ass frisbee. He wasn’t sure what this actually implied, but it seemed like a good idea not to let it touch him. His original plan had been to block until he could teleport again, but well…..he didn’t really want to challenge the giant spinning disk of doom. Even if it lacked less of a punch than it looked, he wasn’t about to chance Silv’s strange powers. For all he knew he would wake up naked in Wonderland with an extra finger and a ram’s head. No matter how he looked at it the best idea was just to get out of the thing’s way.
Somewhat miffed, the Freeshooter halted his defiance of gravity and began to plummet. His body fell horizontal to the oncoming saucer of energy, making a close dodge underneath it. Like seriously, he could practically feel the thing spinning above him. Any closer and he would’ve gotten sideswiped by the oscillating fan from hell. But as he fell to earth, he soon realized that he wasn’t finished. The thing was chasing him. Giving a nervous grin, Xigbar took off running as the axe continued to chase him down. He decided to empty what was left of his arrows at Silv as he did so, using his own powers to correct whatever shots might fly wild as he fired on the move. He just needed assurance that she wouldn’t try something while he was avoiding her first attack. That would be painful and embarrassing. Painfully embarrassing. Bleh.

Silv saw the man actually dodge her axe, and in such a way she wanted to applause. It was definitely one of the last things she ever expected to see someone do to dodge her axe. Her anger had pretty much ended there, the entire fight seemed suddenly fun. One of the greatest things she had gone through ever since she had been on her own. Perhaps she needed to find more fun like this. One thing was now certain, she didn't longer care about winning or losing. It all went on for fun and both of them had been doing their hardest as they had fought their second fight, a real fight.
More arrows came in her direction, instead of dodging or anything, she immediately moved forward. First her arm glowed up entirely green, but instead of a spell, the entire creature appeared, a Seether's head appeared which she used as a shield to block the arrows, having the head penetrated by arrows. However, before the creature would turn back to the Emptiness, she swung a greater part of the creature out of her arm while still rushing right at Xigbar.
Silv swung the creature back to her back and then with full force swung it at Xigbar like a hammer. Her axe, that was spinning after Xigbar had lost its special ability and turned back to a normal axe, spinning after Xigbar and towards Silv at the same time. Silv had one arm ready to grab it out of the air like usual, if it didn't hack into Xigbar. This tactic placed the Nobody behind a hammer (made of a Seether) and an axe.
