Cham slashed hard out in front of him, surrounding his blade with Ki energy, splitting most of the fire ball in half, though the darkness of the channeled Rage scorched his shoulders, hurting something aweful. Cham blasted forwards yet again to meet his doppleganger, ready to give him some damage that wont easily grow back.
The sword stabbed inward, towards the copy's chest, then circled around to get at the arms. A flast of Ki brightened at Cham's other hand, hopefully distracting the copy with the though of a ki blast coming. Cham swirled around bringing the sword in a blinding swoop at the dopplegangers neck.

Well, at least he wasn't completely useless.
With the fireball rendered impotent, there was little more for the clone to do than to deal with the blows that were on their way. The inward strike to the chest was easily parried with a hard swipe of the night-black blade, while using that same momentum to swing it upwards and block the swipe to his arm. The sudden flash of ki surprised him, and since he thought the target was his face, he forced his legs out from beneath himself, landing on his chest and hands, the blade of Cham's silvery saber sailing of the doppelganger's head with barely centimeters to spare.
From his prone position, the clone threw up his hand and unleashed another powerful blast of Channeled Rage, the shriek almost painful in Cham's ears.

Cham's hands thrust outward as if he wanted to catch the flames in his hands but a flashing light of green erupted and a force of Channeled Lightning erupted, hitting the searing ball of Channeled Rage erupting in a dark green light, thrusting Cham back but no harm done. Both seemed to destroy one another.
"I wont let you hurt Master Kihaku," Cham said holding his sword level. He was a few yards from his clone and was on the defensive. Cham wanted to conserve his energy, things could get worse before they get any better. "I will destroy you Dramanius," Cham said ready for the ensuing combat.

(( I would autohit but Cham hasnt attacked in his last post... so I'll just post again... better then sitting around I guess... where are you man? Posting everywhere else? ))
Cham picked up his hand, making it glow a solid green. "Okay, time to pay... you are going down..." Cham said thrusting his hand outward.
--crack--
The sound rang out loudly as Cham's body went rigid. The purple and green auras surrounding Cham dissapated. His eyes seem to fade into an inky grey, lifeless. Cham's body seemed to just flop down to the ground, still and motionless, dead. Cham's dead body now laid in the middle of the battle field.

Just as the doppelganger was about to duck, weave, dodge, and the like about the imminent attack... Cham simply fell over. No warning, just a very audible cracking sound, and poof, he fell over. The clone was very wary of any sort of trick, so he slowly stood up from his crouching position, keeping a firm grip on the black blade glistening in the sunlight. His shoes crunched on an open patch of pebbles as he approached, the sudden noise stopping him in his tracks as if it might wake the prone frame.
Slowly, his body untensed, and he continued forward, ice-blue eyes glaring at the still form of the Elicoorian. "You can't be serious..." He'd been so close to an awesome battle of wits when this shit happened, and now it was very likely he might just have to stab the poor bastard in his sleep. Narcilepsy? That wouldn't explain the sound from before. No matter the case, he finally reached Cham's body, and gave it a light prod with the toe of his shoe.
"Please be dead."

A heavy kich rounded on the Doppleganger from behind. The dead body of Chameleon seemed to simply wisp away in a small puff of green smoke. The heavy boot was connected to Cham, now up and running as if nothing had happened.
Channeled Death
Cham had been practicing a new form of his Channeled webs when he found a new connection in them. The response was something odd. His body seemed to collapse dead onto the ground. The moment something biological touched his body, it would vanish, making him re-appear anywhere he wanted within a 5 foot radius. He practice this a couple times during the evenings when Kihaku was sleeping, hoping to surprise him with this new skill. It was very lifelike.
Cham charged in on him right after the kick, throwing in a barrage of punches and a small ki blast at the end, hoping that this event would catch him off guard.

(( auto hit ))
Cham's foot made direct contact with the side of the copy's head. Cham was almost surprised by the directness of the strike. This was the first time he's used this skill in combat, not entirely sure if it would work properly.
Cham took his moment and laid a few nice sharp punches on the Doppleganger. He shot a ki blast a little too quick, missing the Copy by mere inches. Cham took a moment to catch his bearings and assess the new situation. If the copy was still alive, he would be hurt. Cham had minimal damage on his body while he knew that the Doppelganger suffered substantial, though the inverted Channeled Force of it would heal his body, he would be wasting energy by doing so. Soon enough, the Copy would have to come up with a new tactic or submit. Cham only hoped it would be the latter.
"If this is the best that the Will of Chaos can do, then Kihaku will have no problems with him. You can bearly handle me, and Kihaku is much stronger than I."

((I was gonna get hit by the punch anyway in my post, so it's aaaaaaaaaalright.))
The clone took everything Cham threw at him, the technique that'd just been used to distract him had thrown him off completely. Being a clone created by Dramanius, he only knew what the Chaos Spirit knew, which was only what Kihaku knew, and Channeled Death wasn't one of them. He'd been hit hard, and rolled over onto his left knee, right foot, and left hand, holding the night-black blade tightly in his right hand.
A light trail of bright crimson dribbled down the right side of his mouth, dripping from his chin. Wiping with his sword-hand, he stood slowly, blackness welling from the cut on his lip. "Yeah, I admit, your technique took me off guard, and Kihaku may be stronger than you, but I'm only a mirror copy of you. Congratulations kid," He grinned maliciously at the young Elicoorian, reveling in the truth he was about to voice, "You can hit your shadow."
Just as he was about to launch a new attack, a look of surprise and pain spread across his features, his face first moving to the left and down to his shoulder, where a light, porcelain-skn hand gripped tightly. After that, his chin touched his chest to view, in complete disbelief, at the long black blade protruding from his chest. "You and y-your damned... Channeled Force."
From behind the anti-Cham, Elena's head slowly moved into view, tears on her cheeks and her face set in a grim mask. "Joshua... why didn't you just stay dead?" There was a sickening sucking sound as the blade was jerked from his chest cavity, his body slamming against the ground with a dull thud, sword skittering across the ground. Elena just stood there, rivers of salty fluid running steadily down her face, before she fell to her knees, left hand clutching at her right gauntlet as blood slowly seeped off her elbow.
"Joshua... Joshua... Dramanius... you... you bastard..."

"Mistress Elena," Cham said rushing over to her kneeling down at her side. He wasn't sure if she was still hurt from the fall or the excertion of getting up and fightning before her body was ready so Cham let loose a steady stream of Channeled Force to heal her if the blood on her arm came from her. "Are you okay?" He said watching her carefully to help out where was needed.
Cham had never been good around girls that were angry or sad, he never knew what to do. He pretty much just knelt there awkwardly until she gave him an order.

Her world was collapsing in on her, though she appeared to only be shaken by the sight she'd just been forced to behold. As Cham rushed in and started to bathe her in the warmth of his Channeled Force, the blade on her gauntlent instantly retracted, the blood sloughing from the Chaos Energy to puddle on the ground. She didn't look at him, she didn't say anything, she simply sat on the ground and trembled like a leaf on a slowly sleeping tree on a chill autumn night.
It was fully thirty seconds before she moved at all, leaning her head to the side, scooching closer to the young man, and placing her head against his shoulder, and her right hand against his chest. Now, she trembled against him as tears from her still-crying eyes fell against his tunic. "Dramanius... cloned Joshua... and I had to kill him again." Her face contorted in misery and anguish, burying her face against Chameleon's body like a little girl. "I killed him!"

Cham went test as she laid there against him. She seemed so fragile and hurt that it was hard to imagine she was a very powerful fighter and sister to Kihaku. Cham was never good with these things so he awkwardly patted her on the back. "Hey, dont cry, it's okay," he said rubbing it. "We'll get through this and find this Dramanius and end this once and for all."
He stood them both up giving her a squeeze around the shoulders as she was still leaning against him. "C'mon Mistress Elena, we must go and stop this before he can do this anymore." Cham's bright emerald green eyes shone down at her, a small smile on his face. "You gotta be more careful. It was just a fluke that I managed to make a shadow form to catch you... I still can't believe I did that."

Pulling away from him, tears still glistening in her liquid brown sugar eyes, she looked over to where the body lay, and watched as it slowly disappeared back into the ether, as if made of smoke, like so many things created from Chaos Energy. It hit her rather hard that what she had just assisted in beating was simply a clone... but not of Joshua, the boy whom she spoke so often now, but of Cham, the boy who was now with her.
Taking her hand from his chest, she instead rested it upon his wrist, gently pulling his hands from her shoulders. When she finally stood on her own, she looked to his emerald green eyes and smiled weakly, though sincerely. "Thanks Cham. You're right of course." She leaned forward, place her right hand on his shoulder, and placed a small kiss on his right cheek, a simple light brush of the lips on unfamiliar skin to send a tingle across the senses.
When she pulled away she continued to smile in gratitude, until she looked at his shoulder and chest. Her frown wasn't in annoyance, but rather in exhasperated humor. "D'oh freakin 'a! I got blood on your shirt and jacket. I'm sowwy." She put on a half-joking puppy-dog face, then broke into the brilliant smile she'd once had on the way over. What can be said? Cham helped her bounce back.
"Ne-ways, you're right, we gots ta keep this shin-dig goin so's we can beat Dramanius. What we need in order to do that iiiisss.... draw a circle." She looked about the area, and seemed to find the clearing they'd been fighting in suitable. "It doesn't need to be clear, just... oh... hundred feet across. We're gonna draw the symbol on your arm in the dirt. Simple, ne?"

Cham looked at the symbol on his arm, couldnt believe it was actually there. He had almost died with it. "The Chaos Gate?" Cham said. He concentrated on a skill he hadn't used in a while. Something simple without very much flash. He extended his hand outwards, using simple and easy telekinesis to shift the dirt, drawing a large circle just like she had asked.
He was surprised he could concentrate on his telekinesis now, especially since he was never great at it, but moving a little dirt wasnt hard, it was just that she kissed him. Cham was kissed once before, by Shizuka. He was sure glad she wasnt here to be in this danger. But with every moment she was gone, he felt his connection with her slowly fading. Maybe it was merely lust, nothing more, for it to so easily disperse with absense. It was true since the last time she left, he had bearly thought about her once.
"Is this good Mistress Elena?" Cham said looking to her. His cheeks were a slight tinge of red in embarrassment.

She had already made an indentation where he'd started drawing with her foot as a marker for where to start the next step. She surveyed his handiwork with a practiced eye, knowing full well what the consequences might be if the seal was not drawn properly. She found it absolutely perfect, and was just about to tell him so when she noticed the rose in his cheek. She giggled and nodded with complete sincerity.
"Aww, c'mon Cham, give yourself more credit than that! It's perfect, no need to be embarassed about artistic talent." She then walked along the outside of the circle, counting out specific steps before making more indentations with her foot. Whe she finally had six total, she informed him of the next step. "We need to draw diagonals across the circle, connecting the six node points to form a star. See, the middle ones," she indicated by pointing, "connect to the two side nodes furthest from them, and then those two are connected to the side nodes opposite them, to form an 'x' in the middle. See? Like your arm."

He performed the telekinesis as she directed the pattern was to go. He kept taking wary glances at his arm to make sure he was doing it exact. If this was anything like he thought it might be, drawing this incorrectly would be very bad... very VERY bad.
"How am I doing so far Mistress?"
