With the Cartel's leader down on a knee and his swords dropped Mashyuu took the chance to try a spell he had been working out the details on. He rushed forward again with his fingers curved like the claw of a dragon. His fangs grew past his lips and a field of brown crackling magic energy coursed through his palm. "Earth Dragons Talons!" He called out and stopped right in front of the Cartel leader while slashing his hand straight up and into the Cartel leaders face. Four crescent shaped shock waves erupted from Mashyuu's fingers and knocked the leader of the Cartel back some four meters. Mashyuu took a half step back to aim his next spell when the Earth Slayers eyes went wide with sudden pain. Blood seeped out of each of his legs and when he looked down his blue eyes caught both swords lodged firmly in his legs. "I'm gonna keep these." Mashyuu warned.
It was then that Rocky sprang into action as the Cartel leader got to his feet. From Rocky's back a series of spikes jutted out and the Earth Elemental slammed straight into the Cartel leader while Mashyuu gripped the hilts of the swords and took a shuddering breath. He considered at that moment what would happen if he pulled the weapons free. "Screw it. Rock Bullet!" He extended both his index fingers and from the ground two small stones floated up to his fingertips then launched out at high speeds smashing into the Cartel leader's eyes. The man cried out in pain as blood seeped from the impact.
At last on his feet, the Cartel leader rushed for Mashyuu to try and get his blades back but the Earth Wizard was ready for the charge. On weakened legs Mashyuu skirted around the man and sent a spinning back elbow into the base of the leaders neck, his Slayer blood causing the impact of the blow to hurt that much more. As he finished the twist Mashyuu lifted a foot and brought it down hard. The result sent a shockwave through the ground and stones launching up, knocking the Leader back down. As the stones pelted the leader and he hit the ground again Mashyuu dropped an elbow down atop the mans chest. From the ground earth ripped up and wrapped around Mashyuu's forearms and hands. At the same time Mashyuu's hand crackled with electrical energy and a bolt of lightning ripped down and through the Cartel leader. Weather he meant to or not, the leader lashed out and kneed Mashyuu in the back of the head, causing the younger man to roll away and barely spring up on his injured legs. Deciding the need to move was worth the risk of bleeding out Mashyuu grabbed the blades and pulled them from his legs with a howling pain and tossed them to either side.
The leader rolled to his injured knees and stood up while trying to rub the blood out of his eyes. Blinded the man had a hard time trying to see where Mashyuu actually was. The Earth Wizard ran up and sent a solid uppercut into the mans jaw, as his head snapped up Mashyuu drove an open palm into his foes gut, forcing the man to double over in pain, trying to find his air. The moment the leaders face came down, Mashyuu drove his knee into the bridge of the man's nose. Again the cartel leader hit the ground while trying to find his own blades and sense where Mashyuu was.
With the combination of near lethal blows Mashyuu drove into the Cartel leader it was easy to see that the man wasn't going to be fighting back any time soon. All that was left was to knock the man out and be done with the fight. Joined by Rocky, Mashyuu extended his palm and aimed towards the Cartel leader. His gloves lit up with energy and Rocky took a deep breath of air in before both of them launched a high pressured stream of stones into the man's face, knocking the cartel leader out cold. Mashyuu dropped down and took the mans turban and ripped it in half. He wrapped each half around his legs then walked out with Kaede to find the girls...
It didn't take long for the men to find the massive battle that had ensued or the tank they had hidden behind. "Yeah... The Lacrima crates are two rooms over. I'll make sure she gets somewhere safe." Mashyuu reached down and scooped Miyuki up into his arms and made his way back for town and the closest hospital...
