Acid won.
Everybody come see where Rad creams the mouse! *evil laughter*

Radium came to his feet easily. He had had barely enough time to shield the attack that would have skewered him, and get out of the way. The resulting explosion warranted his approach to the problem.
He spotted his attacker. She was a mouse, with a tufted tail and large ears. She was dressed in red and white, which tipped him off to her identity.
"Syloph," he growled, and threw up a shield once more as another attack arrowed in. She wasn't really a problem - the worst she could do to him was injure him slightly - but he wanted to get this over with.
A splash of blue-green color on his hastily-erected shield blocked his veiw for a moment, but that didn't faze him. He poured energy into his shield, which shimmered a faint violet around the edges, drawing power from the chaos around him. Unfortunately there wasn't much water on Tubelectric, which was his preferred element. Irritatingly enough, Syloph's was air, and there was plenty of that. Fortunately it wasn't fire, or she could have done damage.
They were both in shape (if you wanted to live to BE a mage, you had to keep fit) so physical attacks wouldn't do much. He had the decided advantage though; there was enough chaos in Tubelectric to serve a platoon of Chaos Mages, let alone one.
Syloph sent a rain of gold and black arrows at him, but they shivered and vanished before they even reached his shield. He realized with a jolt that she didn't even know who he was, and was merely testing him to see his defenses. She followed up with a classic mage's trick, sending a wash of blinding energy at him and summoning a physical creature to attack while the magic disoriented him. At least, that was how it worked with ordinary mages.
Unfortunately for Syloph, he wasn't an ordinary mage.
It just so happened that she had summoned a Shadorian dyzkan, the living shadow. Radium laughed softly, an echo of Claw's previous laughter, and turned his red-glowing gaze on the creature. Unnoticed, his shield absorbed the magical attack.
The dyzkan shuddered to a halt, shivering all over like an animal. It hesitated, leaning first towards the Chaos Mage and then towards the Kiyrenin mage, confused and bewildered. Radium continued to force his will on the half-reluctant dyzkan, and it finally twitched and surged towards Syloph. Startled, she waved at it and attempted to send it back to its place of origin. However, Radium was now controlling the shadow, and her spell didn't work.
She lifted her pale gaze to his burning one, irritation plain. It was clear that she wasn't used to being bested in anything. Radium gave her a superior half-grin, before banishing the dyzkan to Shador once more. Her eyes widened at that; he hadn't used any flashy gestures or spell components. Her confusion only added to the chaos around him.
Good. He wanted to keep her off balance and startled when he got around to testing her own defenses. His were more than adequate; he spared no more than a passing thought for his shield and then turned his mind to the offense.
Shards of glassy splinters flew at Syloph, spinning through her shields with little more than a waver. She had not been expecting an attack, and had lowered her shield power; however, the shield did affect them, turning them into drops of superheated water. She fended them off with a slightly panicked gesture, and they fell to the ground, transforming to fortune cookies half way there. Radium grinned despite himself. Let her figure that one out! Indeed, the look she gave him this time was well and truly puzzled.
At a mental command from him, the moisture in the air condensed into a miniature stormcloud over her head, raining sizzling drops of water. As she was not expecting a physical attack, she was scalded once or twice before she threw up a shield to counter them. Radium shook his head sadly. I overestimated you, Syloph. Outsmarted on every turn!
This was good. He realized he was still holding his Chaos Lance, and grinned again. She obviously thought it was his power focus. He was going to put her off balance again. He banished it with a thought, and faced the mouse unarmed. Her eyes widened again as he began his ChaosSummoning. Hopefully she recognized THAT.
A swarm of flopping fish rained on her. Radium groaned inwardly. Figured. Just his luck.
But if possible, her eyes widened even more as she dodged marine life. Even though his ChaosSummoning was completely random, it was still enough to impress her. He laughed again and wove a visible cage around her with silvery-blue energy, one that would keep her powers inside it. She gasped as she realized what he had done to her. Her eyes were frantic as she chanted something.
Can't have that.
With a lazy wave of his hand, he banished the cage to - well, he didn't quite know where. A Chaos Mage could only keep track of so many things at one time, after all.
Then he turned to face the other Kiyrenin.
