She saw him rush towards her and before he could make it to her, she let out a powerful kick into nothing. From the kick a force land right into Raiden, interrupting his striaght path to Mesia and sending him skyward.

He twisted and spun in the air, creating a cone-like shield from his body. The shield would be used to alter the power of those force attacks she used. She wouldn't be able to simply knock him aside again.

Just in case, his path towards her was zigg-zagged.

And she stood still as he came at her. But her left hand clenched tightly, intent on something as he came.

And once he was in easy striking distance of her, she pushed her hand out to him and a wall of light halted Raiden, then broke into several other walls, entrapping him in a pure ethereal box. But there was something odd about it, something misplaced.

A rune would be the correct answer(As always). This rune held in the Energy god and his teleporting energy just like it would normal energy.

The inner sides of the box erupted with several ethereal spikes, aiming on crushing, piercing and locking Raiden.

Several runes floated off of Raiden's body, connected with the boxes, and the entire structure fell apart in shambles.

Using my toy against me? Keep in mind, I taught you very basic Rune, while I have a very extensive knowledge in that subject.

Keep in mind, there's the old strategy of stalling.
She pointed down below Raiden and what he saw either impressed, shocked or somehow thrilled him.

The entire base of the world was now turned into a strange red glow. She jumped down from her perch and as soon as she connected with the ground, the red light circled around her.

She looked up to Raiden and extended he hand, opening and closing it to mean "Bring it."

Raiden chuckled.

You actually intend for me to go down there, sister? Please. You've had so many traps today, I lost count.

Some energy separated from his body, and a second smaller Raiden was standing there.

Go, Raiden clone. See what the trap is.

The clone nodded, and leapt over to the red light.

And he landed, but nothing happened. Well, for a moment. Mesden, faster than a teleportation, appeared behind the Raiden and ran her hand through him, tearing him into little god shreads and ribbons before he dissipated.

Scared, brother?

Of course not, sister.

Raiden dug deep into his body, searching for the red energy he had collected earlier. After a few moments, he found it. The red lined his blue body, and with an incredibly fast flip, he landed down on the red light.

As soon as his feet graced the crimson surface, the light he was about to touch faded and left a blank spot open for him. Then, in a movement faster than Raiden could track, his sister darted behind him and with only a tap to his back he flew forward several dozen yards across the surface. The surface that still faded upon his true touch.

A bit slow, are we?

He skidded along, until the red energy pumped through his body and some strange force caused him to stop.

Not slow, sister. Just cautious.

In a near instantaneous move, he appeared behind Mes. Six bindings of energy grasped her body.

This energy has made us equals, even in this little section of glowy you made.

As his limbs attempted to engulf her, the red light cascaded across her body prevented any such possibility.

...We may have the same energy, Raiden...But

Her hand pulled up in front of her, not facing him at all. But, in the same instance, the ground twisted into a massive, glowing red hand. There was something off about being held by it. Something that forced him to be held without the ease of teleporting out.

You're contained Raiden. I tack everything in this world and I've seen your will based teleporting from this point of view. You move wherever energy is allowed. But, now... her non clenched hand flailed in the area. The world contorted into a bright glow, a near burning light shining everywhere.

...Now, only ethereal energy is allowed to move. Your presence is still here and you can walk, run, fight however, but this willing yourself thing has become tiring and I felt the urge to stop it.

She unclenched her hand and in doing so made the massive red palm that held Raiden disperse.

Raiden landed on the ground in a crouch. If he had a mouth, he would have smirked.

So...taking away my energy? But Mesia...I AM energy.

He leapt up high in the air, the red energy in his body circulating about and causing him to separate on almost the molecular level. He was soon nowhere to be seen, but Mesia could still sense him. Oh yes, she could sense him. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

He was absorbing himself into the energy of her realm.

Bit by bit the realm began to warp. Parts of the environment turned blue and sparky. Draconic statues warped up from the material of the realm, created from the shifting of alignments. Soon her realm felt different. She still felt her own essence in it, but it was now shared with another.

Suddenly, a voice filled her head from everywhere.

It's true, sister. You are master of the ethereal energy. However, I am quite skilled in ethereal myself, and master of every other kind. I simply used the resources at my access to hijack the ethereal energy pathways that make up your realm. While not cutting you off, I temporarily altered their connections. Now...we both have control here, sister. Which means...

As the red light that strengthened Mesia glowed on Raiden's body, he seemed to gain a new strength to him.

The benefits and flaws are equal.

Oh? You think it that easy to take my world in your hands? I think not. No one takes my world. Not father, not mother and definitely not you.

Her hand drove deep into the ground as the world writhed and twisted. The parts that Raiden had seemed to infest began to fall out and disperse.

This world may be energy, but it is also MY will, MY creation, MY legacy, MY solace and MY sanctuary that you WILL NOT defile with your infectious powers!

Soon Raiden's control diminished into to a mere nothing, the power that the realm had given him gone in the same time it took him to steal.

NOW! If you EVER try to control MY world, there is no word, no mere description of what I will put you through. I will NOT stop at only removing you.

There was a look of deep contempt emanating from her being. It was obviously a button to hit when messing with her world.

There was a small laughing sound that filled the arena.

Don't worry, dear sister. I had no intention of keeping control of your world for very long. I just needed a direct access to get to you.

Then she felt something in her mind. Inside her mind, Raiden sat comfortably.

I've locked myself in here, sister. No ethereal or spiritual magic can get me out. You have to make me want to come out.

More laughter filled her mind.

Now you invade my mind. Fine, dive into my thoughts. Just pray to yourself, and I mean PRAY, you don't see, feel and hear what I have.

And with a close of her eyes her body went into a meditative state. In this settling form she met Raiden in her own subconscious.

You have problems keeping to yourself. It's a bit unsettling how you constantly invade my personal sanctuaries like it's a free park to stroll around in. I suggest you leave, Raiden. My mind is for me only. My memories are for me to keep. My dreams and hopes are for me to know. YOU have no right doing this as I had no right to take your gem. If you don't want a repeat of past mistakes I warn you to GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!

Raiden was floating inside her head in a sitting position.

Give me more credit than that, sister. I haven't looked into any different parts of your mind. Just your main consciousness. Besides...there's not much you've experienced that I haven't as well. You've heard the screams and cries of every soul in existance. You forget those things that are without souls. The planets themselves. The stars. The rocks and minerals. Everything used to cry out for my help every waking moment. If you ever gain the skill to enter minds and you see mine...you'd have more nightmares then you have right now. So I know how it is to enjoy your privacy. However, you have given me little choice. You took away my energy useage, and my rune is useless in your realm. All I can do is move, and thanks to that red light of yours, I can't do much with that. So I did the next best thing I could do. I'm hanging out in here until I deem it more in my favor to leave.

Raiden... her voice filled heavily, echoing throughout her mind. I want you out NOW. This is supposed to be a fun fight. There is NEVER equal ground in a fight for us and you know that. Real world you control any movement. Kinetic energy and all. My world, that speaks for itself. There is no such thing, Raiden. And MY mind is not your plaything. NOT YOUR RESTING PLACE! NOT YOUR HIDE OUT! This is MY mind. This is where I keep MY secrets. This is where I keep EVERYTHING I hold dear to me. GET OUT NOW! This is not a request. This is not something to brush aside because you feel the odds are against you. THIS IS MY MIND!

Her foot stomped on the base of the world, causing a powrful rumbling throughout to accentuate her rage.

If you want me to put this in more calm terms, I guess I might. Raiden, you run into my head because the odds were stacked against you. You were in my world and at a disadvantage. What else do you think I should do? Make sure that every time I trump your move I give you time to work it out and we continue fighting? Isn't it unfair in a fight once a man hurts the others leg? Should he just stop, let the man's leg heal and then continue the fight because it was unfair?

Her arms crossed angrily as her glare harshened.

I'm giving you 5 minutes. I WILL get you out of here no matter what it takes if you don't leave now Raiden. And I swear if you pull another parasite action like this, you have forever sealed my contempt for you. I'm mad Raiden. Mad beyond words. Rage is boiling up in me far too much. I want you out now. No ifs, ans or buts. Get out. 5 minutes and ticking.

He gave out a sigh.

When you were losing in the real world, you escaped into your realm where it was nearly impossible to be touched. As such, when I was losing, I went somewhere where it was impossible for you to touch me. But, if you want me out, that's your right.

His form in her mind wavered and disappeared. But, he didn't show up again in the outside world. Until, suddenly, he appeared. His arm was held out, and struck Mesia in the chest and carried through, moving her backwards. In the movement, he traveled with her through the ground of the realm, and what felt like a strange pulling sensation, everything around them popped.

Suddenly they were in a world devoid of light. It was complete and utter darkness. The only way they could see each other was their special sight.

You have your realm, Mesia. Well, welcome to mine. It's not as fancy as yours, and it doesn't give me ultimate power...but it's quiet. This is where I spend my time when I need to be alone. In here, neither of us have an unfair advantage over the other.

Hrm, you could've been a bit nicer about it you know. I gave you a doorway, you punched me through.

She gave herself an unnecessary pat off and looked back towards Raiden.

Fine, we'll fight here, Just know that the next time you invade something dear to me without permission again, I WILL end you.

Her blade again formed in her hand and lifted to face Raiden.

Who will make the first move?

Raiden took in a deep breath, and the energy from the area rushed to fill him. His body seemed to relax as the energy flowed once again.

I think I'll let you attack first, sister.
