His ears ringing from the noise (though no longer bleeding thanks to his healing rate), Fei realizes that he has the proverbial tiger by the tail, and that Chan needs to be put down quickly.
He redoubles his efforts, absorbing the energy of his foe's thrashing movements and pouring it right back into him as pure destructive force.
"You're going to regret that." Lysander growls, his ears ringing as he starts spinning, becoming a whirling tornado of sand and death that matches the speed of Ryuzo and Fei.

Chan struggles frantically to get out of this hold. Courage hadn't sent a Champion against him before and he found not planning for this had been a very grave mistake. He was starting to see spots in front of his eyes, and struggled to maintain consciousness.
Ryuzo and Fei have Chan at 0 hp before his fast healing kicks in.
Edit: The nel-thaggu that was hurrying to help his master fades away into smoke as Lysander burns the last of the life out of the former Champion of Madness.
After shaking his head after seeing all the death Enre turns to see the others kill Madness. He than says "I think it would be a good idea to get rid of the body."
Krays runs over and stabs the immaterial blade of his scythe into Chan...
Will save, DC 36.
Lysander's Urumi flicker out as he turns to look as watche's Death's Champion perform Chan's 'last rights.'
He kneels as the sand starts flowing back together in a cube and picks it up. He frowns at the amount of blood left on the floor but says nothing.
Still holding the now lifeless body of Chan in his vice like grip, Fei quickly looks around to make sure there were no other creatures coming at them. He then mouths to Lysander and Ryuzo (since everyone is still deaf) "We need to return to the school."
Chan finds himself in the staff...
Ephebe shook her head as the last of the ringing faded from her ears.
"I think I can help with disposing of the body now that Krays has made sure that he won't ever be coming back," she said, walking over and touching the body with accellerated time, causing it to rapidly decay into dust.
"Wow. It's really over. It's kind of hard to take in."
"I do not know the way back." Lysander replies once his hearing returns.
"I do not know the way back." Lysander replies once his hearing returns.
"I can help with that," said a rather beat up looking Keme. "I know my way through the tunnels, but some of the openings are really small, so teleporting would probably work better.[/i]
"Huh?" the ringing slowly fades
"Oh, I can port us..."
Ryo stops a punch just before it lands and creates holes in the walls so air can get in. They may have been acting under Chan's control, but it looked like he had let them act as they usually did. He had no sympathy for them at all. He reaches out to see how many still have some semblance of mental awareness.

Enre sheaths his sword before his armor change back to his clothing. He than waits for Krays to teleport everyone out.
"It'll take two trips..."
He'll do so...
Ryo frowns as the Shadowstrikers continue their attack, though he dodges the old man's strikes easily.
Spikes shoot from the walls and floors at various angles, the only safe spot around Ryo and the old man.
"That was for Nimue."
Ryo doesn't even try to move as the ice creeps up his legs.
"I don't think of you as an enemy. I think of you as something that could not adapt to change. Fortunately, that means those that did get to watch you die." Ryo takes a card from inside his robes and holds it up so the man can see it.
The Reaper....
"I hope the afterlife is not kind to you."
Meanwhile, while all the excitement was going on underground, back in the lab....
"Look, we'll explain things as we go....err....you know, I think I'm just going to take that out of there....Fi, I'm pretty sure a singularity grenade is overdoing it."
"Oh, is that what those are? I got mixed up. I thought those were the sonic bombs. Oops."
"I've narrowed it down to this area, but the connection was cut before I could really narrow in on where Vai is currently."
"Okay, hang on."
Aananda hits a button on her headband.
"Hello? This is Avalon calling the Harbinger. The girl Vai Emkar has been taken and we're trying to track her down. Can you please get back to us immediately and let us know if Aegythrax has any known haunts in this area of space? I'm sending the map file with the area highlighted now."
Ryo doesn't even try to move as the ice creeps up his legs.

"Harbinger Ascendant acknowledges, Avalon. Tranmission received - stand by," the familiar voice of Fivain responds.
A moment later:
"Aegythrax didn't keep his laboratories close to each other, but there was a site that was supposed to be taken out a few months ago in this region. Small forested world called Darsoum. Exact planetside coordinates inbound to you now. Good hunting, Avalon - bring her back (and that bastard blue's scaly hide too, if you can manage)."
Ryo doesn't even try to move as the ice creeps up his legs.

"I hope the afterlife is not kind to you."
"If there's anything left of it," she said, glancing at Ryleh. "Thanks, Harbinger. I'll send word once we return."
"Alright, everyone hand me your starcasters so I can set the coordinates. We don't want to get separated in transit," she said, quickly inputting the coordinates and making sure everyone had their starcaster well secured on their person.
"Leaving Avalon for Darsoum in 3....2....1...."
After he's ported everyone back to Avalon...he looks at the gathered Champions...
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all. I know it was our duties to end Madness' reign of terror, and defeat his champion, but helping me save Ephebe is a debt I will not soon repay. If any of you need help with anything, just ask. Thank you."
"Ahh, yes Mr. Antairus. Just here for the paperwork you spoke of."
"Yes, thank you all very much. It's nice to know that when the universe needs saving there are so many compentent people who can do the job," she added with a smile. "Especially since I won't be up for much universe saving for a while."
"Also...I think most of you knew before this, but..." she shifted into draconic form and then back. "Since you saw proof of it down there I figured it only made sense to be honest about it. I'm a dragon. So is Krays. And my brothers, my mom, and my grandma. I'm not going to ask you to keep it a secret. I'm pretty much over that. But I would ask that you please wait to tell people. I'd like to give the others some warning before it becomes common knowledge."
"Even Hunters stopped hunting when they were in the same condition you are. Keep those little sparks safe, and we'll see if the White Flame gets passed on."
Enre looks at Krays before nodding.
"Even Hunters stopped hunting when they were in the same condition you are. Keep those little sparks safe, and we'll see if the White Flame gets passed on."
She smiled, unconsciously putting a hand on her stomach. "I hope so. It would be a shame if it ended with me. Though I'm sure that would add a whole new layer of trouble that these little sparks will cause," she added with a laugh.
"If there's anything left of it," she said, glancing at Ryleh. "Thanks, Harbinger. I'll send word once we return."
"Alright, everyone hand me your starcasters so I can set the coordinates. We don't want to get separated in transit," she said, quickly inputting the coordinates and making sure everyone had their starcaster well secured on their person.
"Leaving Avalon for Darsoum in 3....2....1...."
Just before the devices activate, Phaeze uses telekinesis to discreetly bring one of the singularity grenades to his hand. They sound powerful, and therefore would make an excellent ace up Phaezeriel's metaphorical sleeve.

Fei thinks for a moment, the 'radiance' having quietly faded from his body after the fight ended.
"Would it be possible to have the dust from your uncle's remains removed from my gi?" he politely asks. (^.^)
"I'll leave that trouble to you then." Lysander replies, leaving. "I have to go start putting protections on my room. I don't think I'm going to have enough time before those little sparks start fires, but it can't hurt."
