The energy blades the Shade wielded vanished after awhile, his original blade reappeared in his hand.
"Oh but Roxa!" he pointed his blade at him, "Battles and fighting is all you and I have ever known! This is where you and I belong! In a constant struggle!"
He charged at Roxa, swinging his blade at him in a slash he had no doubt Roxa would block, but hitting him wasn't his concern at the moment.
"...But you know..." he said as he was locking blades with him, "I was shocked when I saw him, tell me Roxa who is the boy? The one in Crepusculum? He was a spitting image of you."

Roxa locked blades with the Shade and simply looked confused "What? What boy?" he asked as he leaned in close to the Shade's masked face and tried to see through the helmet "What do you mean by that? That he was a spitting image of me?" Roxa squinted as he tried to somehow step in to the Shade's mind, he knew that he couldn't, he wasn't that potent in magic even with Ave's (who was still quiet) help.

The oddest thing then happened, as Roxa stared into the helmet and attempted to get into his mind he saw brief images being reflected on the helmet...a royal castle whose insignia looked to be Chalybs...a group of people whose faces were blurred...and a battleground that was very familiar...
"Nu-uh Roxa!" his first glowed with white fire and struck at him, "No peeking! I can't have our shocking reunion shattered so quickly! I've been building up for the surprise too!"

Roxa's eyes widened as he was blown backwards away from his opponent, landing on his feet he suddenly scowled "I know that place!" he roared sheathing his swords temporarily, unzipping the overcoat he threw it the floor, his bright white leather armor now on show. Unsheathing his swords again he pointed one of them at the Shade "Why did you show me that? How did you know that place?!" He growled his eyes narrowing.

"That would be telling," he waved his finger at him, "And besides maybe I don't want you to guess who I am yet, I mean it's not like I'm wearing this stupid visor for a fashion statement."
He raised his blade up and sliced down, when he did a line of energy ripped through the air towards Roxa.

Roxa side-stepped the energy wave and growled in frustration before smiling for seemingly no reason, then suddenly... He laughed, it was a truly childish joyous laugh "Oh... Y-You're right..." he said the laughing subsiding to a small chuckle "It isn't really a fashion statement" he wiped a tear from his eye before standing up straight "You really do look like an idiot!" With that he launched a massive bolt of pressurized air at his opponent.

Despite the fact of being hit in the chest with pressurized air the Shade was laughing, the same kind of joyous laughter Roxa let out a moment ago.
"Yes that's it, that's the Roxa I remember!" he gathered white fire in his hands and fused them, thrusting his palms out to shoot a beam of white fire.

Roxa didn't quite know why, but he was actually starting to enjoy the fight, for him it had become more of a sparring session like what you'd witness between two allies not enemies "Then you should remember this!" he yelled at the Shade as he built up the pressure behind him and flung himself forwards towards his opponent, his swords swinging in a blue of black and silver.

The Shade stared at the attack before mumbling something like, "Actually that attack is new to me..."
He tried to simply stop the attack by jamming his blade in the whirlwind, but the power behind it was strong enough to send Shade spinning through the air and crash on the a porch of a house in town.

Roxa stopped spinning and stood still for a moment with a smirk spread across his face, he pointed his sword at the Shade who had crashed onto a porch in the middle of the town "If you are one of who I might think you are..." he muttered spinning around so a wrapped up object fell to the ground "You should definitely recognize this!" a small burst of air unwrapped the object and blew it upwards, Roxa catching it in his mouth, the blade of Sonorc's dagger gleamed in the sunlight "Now come on!" he growled at the Shade, holding both his swords and the dagger in his mouth, causing his voice to sound somewhat muffled.

The Shade got up and noticed the dagger in his mouth, he looked at it and made a huff-like noise.
"Huh...Sonoric's dagger, interesting," he said brushing off debris. "So the old fart is dead, then again so are most of the Saints aren't they? You, Alessia, Nia, ABA, and Van are the only survivors..."
His voice trailed off before he scoffed, "What a pathetic lot. Stupid morals getting in the damn way. It was no surprise you all died off!"

And that was the last straw, her anger was through the roof.
"Alright, that's IT!" She yelled while marching out from the sidelines, her body glowing brightly with solar power, "How dare you say that about my family! How dare you spit on their name by calling them pathetic!"
And with that she unleashed her energy, light swarmed around the 'Shade' in all directions, each threatening to cause terrible damage if they hit.

Roxa was not at all taken aback by Alessia's rage, he himself was at his breaking point, and also he wasn't alone "You!" he roared, his voice taking two tones, his own and that of a female, his sister "You dare insult my brothers?! I will show you what real pain is like!" with that Eva took over, usually it was Ave who had this part covered but his sister had reached her limit.
Normally when she was in control, things went red but this time all the colors were simply heightened, she saw the world as it was and more. Looking across at this 'Shade' she glared and sheathed Roxa's swords "You!" she growled, the voice was still Roxa's although it was much lighter "How dare you insult my brother and his family!" her hands worked fast, making swift and intricate movements, suddenly dark spikes of shadow accompanied Alessia's light in attacking the enemy.

The Shade stood with slumped shoulders as the attacks build around him and launch at him, vanishing in that dark smoke he used at the beginning of their fight. He reappeared on top of their house as the attacks struck empty air.
"Aw we made Alessia mad with our fighting, it looks like our fun reunion will have to wait Roxa." he turned to walk off, but paused. "Oh yes, I nearly forgot...the second reason I came here. Those people you fought earlier Roxa? They weren't just some common organization, they were Ketalunaians, that's right, real bona fide people from the moon of Ketaluna. You see, they were after crystals...crystals that don't spell good for Allorum. I have a feeling Ghiaccio is going to be important for them...if I were you...I'd stop them, wouldn't you?"
He paused to chuckle, "Who knows? You might meet this charming little boy who happens to have your face. We may meet again along the way."

Eva had relinquished control back over to Roxa as the Shade retreated away from the pair of them, Roxa pointed at the Shade with his hand before glaring "Get the hell out of here..." he growled his free hand moving to the hilt of his silver sword "And stay away from my family." the final sentence was blunt as he protectively stepped between the Shade and Alessia.
