[ { "text": "What a curious situation this was, Mei thought. She was actually seemingly overpowering the death knight for the moment. Soon enough she would have been well in her strength to crush her enemy's neck, but as Ryuuna pulled her runeblade and cut her hand those pesky frost enchantments on the blades numbed her muscles for a moment. Ahhh the handicap of not wearing any armor right now… Mei right away prepared to fight as Melizia reached for her second runeblade, but luckily that was stopped by the tiny elf mage on her shoulder.\n\n As the blasts of fire were hurled towards the death knight, she quickly used the moment the enemy was distracted to stand up from the ground. Both her wounds were hurting and probably would have been interfering with the movement of most people, but for her it was just a mild annoyance for the moment. What she didn't expect was that the second fire blast exploded and propelled the death knight at her and then both of them up the stairs and into the walls.\n \n They sure enough found themselves face to face, the two draenei, desiring to kill each other. As the death knight pulled her face slightly away, Mei quickly prepared to headbut Melizia, but that was stopped when they once again found themselves falling down the middle of the stairs.\n\n \"Sadly can't help it, mister tiny elf mage.\" Mei replied when Sharon stopped their fall with his magic. She had barely any time to react when she was punched in the face by Melizia. As they began falling down yet again, Mei roared in rage using the fact the death knight was under her. Her eyes narrowed in anger, her muscles tensed up as she suddenly spun around in midair by masterfully altering her center of gravity and using the centrifugal force to spin with great speed. In the next moment she dropped her hoof onto the death knight's head. She was well used to aerial fighting form her days in Northrend… and the fighting on flying mounts and falling down cliffs and the like… Whatever don't kill you, makes you stronger right? \" Die… death knight!\" She roared as after the first dropkick, she was already doing the second spin to directly stomp the enemy under her as they were going to land.", "username": "rivaan", "char_name": "Meirie Leran" }, { "text": "\"And YOU! Yes, you, Vashi. Stop that! Stop!\"\n\nWhile normally very sensitive about criticism directed towards her use of magic, a thing she had had enough about in her time with the rest of the warband; Sharon's own comment did not even cross Vashi's mind.\n\nIn fact, what Vashi was more taken by was the fact that there were currently two very big Draenei butts( + one tiny Sharon) speeding down towards the populated bottom of the stairwell.\n\n\"Uh, girls, I think we should evacuate the area... \" Vashi quietly suggested as she looked down towards Kathlin and Liaena standing in front of her, before gently tugging them both by the back of their collars in order to pull the very curious girls away from the soon-to-be landing zone; the two seemingly having been too busy watching the fight and/or bickering with one another to really give a thought to their positioning! \n\n\"We need to give the combatants... \"\n\n*KRAK-BOOM*\n\n\" ... space.\"\n\nA loud boom echoed throughout the mansion as the two Draenei finally reached the bottom of the stairwell, their impact enough to shake the floorboards to the point they exhumed a thick cloud of dust up from between them that filled the entire bottom of the stairwell!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"…..\"\n\n\"…..I hope your Mister Dal'dieb is insured\"\n\nStudying the huge cloud of dust, Liaena took a tentative step forward. \"What, against war zones? That'd be a premium\"\n\n\"You live with him. It's a reasonable expense\"\n\nCreeeeeeeeeak\n\n….\n\nCRACK\n\n….\n\nCRASHHHHHH!\n\nWith a very final splintering of wood, the much abused timber and plaster beneath the combatants gave way beneath the combined weight of Draenei + Draenei + Draenei's heavy Death-Knight armour. Liaena was left staring at a large hole in the floor, from which a slight fog caused by Malizia's frost spells gently rose.\n\n\"….I hope your Mister Dal'dieb is okay\"\n\n\"With his luck, he's probably stuck in the Death Knight's butt….\" Liaena hissed as she sat down at the edge of the hole, feet dangling over the edge as she started to lower herself in. \"…I'm going down there\"\n\n\"Okay\"\n\n Landing lightly on the floor of the room the pair had crashed into; Liaena identified the place as one of the many store rooms linked to the kitchen Miss Collins held sway over. In all likelihood the place would recently have been full, all of the shelves were now stripped courtesy of the Night-Elf storm that had swept through the manor….Liaena wasn't sure whether or not this constituted a silver lining.\n\nDrawing her dart-gun from a pocket, Liaena checked to ensure the thing was loaded with a suitable vial as she approached the groaning mass of limbs cautiously. \"Sharon? Hey, Sharon?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"By the light! Craaap!\"\n\nSharon thought as the floor creaked beneath the two large, Draenei combatants, and the High Elf fell with them further down into the floor below, barely offered as much of a call as he fell down!\n\nBeing the first one to fall down, Sharon landed with a thud against the surface; his fall much lightened by his smaller volume, yet still enough to leave a bruiser.\n\n\"Not the floor... \" Sharon muttered, half in distress over his ruined floor as he turned to look up, only to have his eyes suddenly expand in size as he realized that he was currently looking up at a pair of big, bubbly, dark blue buttocks belonging to none other than Malizia as the Death Knight was falling straight down towards him, rump first! The Draenei's hind quarters enough to dwarf most of the already considerable rears of the Night Elves!\n\n\"Oh crap... \"\n\nIn an astounding feat of dexterity and agility, Sharon succeeded in planting his feet in the rubble below him, and kick off; causing him to perform a backflip through the air, soaringly elegantly backwards before landing on his feet!\n\nAnd in just in time at that, as the second later, the big Death Knight would land flat on her butt right in the spot with a heavy *thud*, mere inches away from where Sharon was currently standing, the impact enough to shake the world around the tiny elf!\n\n\"That's one Draenei avoided. Now where's the other... ?\"\n\nSharon thought to himself as he stared at the stunned Malizia's broad backside which currently took up most of his view, before turning his gaze upwards to look for the other who had yet to land.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

[ { "text": "\"…I'm going down there\"\n\n\"No, you should be careful! That Death Knight looked particularly mean!\" Vashi would warn as Liaena moved towards the hole, but the Night Elven Magi's words of warning fell on deaf ears as Liaena plainly ignored her, the little black haired girl jumping down after the two Draenei + her boyfriend.\n\n\"I should probably look after her... please stay right here and do not get yourself into any further trouble!\" Vashi then said as she turned to look at Kathlin, before throwing half an eye up towards the stairwell above them, eying the cinders currently attached the surrounding walls.\n\n\"And... if you could do something about that fire, it'd be nice! I don't think mistress would approve of this house burning down prematurely... \"\n\nVashi said, half trapped in her own mind, before the Night Elven magi turned around and jumped down the hole.\n\nCasting a quick spell as she fell, she gracefully levitate the bottom of the fall; landing gently on her feet next to Liaena. Looking forward, she could see the two Draenei. Malizia was sitting on her butt, looking like she had just been hit by a speeding rhino, while Mei was speaking to something directly behind Malizia, although from where she stood, Vashi could not make out what it was; her vision blocked by the large Death Knight.\n\nBut when Mei brought her foot up to strike down on the sitting Malizia, Vashi would immediately spring into action, raising her staff!\n\n\"I'll help too!\" Vashi called out to Mei as she pointed her staff at Malizia, and a ball of silver mist shot out from the tip! The magical sphere zoomed through the air like a rocket, hitting Malizia square in the chest with enough force to push the large Draenei backwards! And just in time, as Mei brought her foot down onto the Death Knight in an epic combo attack, resulting in Malizia barely moving a couple of inches back from the blast before Mei would hammer her back down into the ground with her foot!\n\n\"Whooo! Great hit!\" Vashi cheered from where she stood, waving at Mei!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Sharon!\" Liaena cried out as she caught sight of the little mage stranded in the middle of the cellar floor. The girl swooped forward to pick him up as Mei executed a fairly impressive mid-air manoeuvre to avoid the high-elf and crashed into some boxes instead. \"Are you okay? Sorry about the gate-crashers, I was about to throw them out…\"\n \n\"This is it... this time die for good… go to your dark overlords!!!\"\n\n-STOMP-\n\n\"…I think we've won anyway\" Liaena stated as the combination of Draenei stomp and Vashi bolt hammered onto the Death-Knight's head, the latter sprawled on an unconscious mess on the floor. The girl eyed Mei with a rare look of respect in her eyes. \"Thanks for the assist. Although really….do I know you?\"\n\n\"She was summoned from a portal, so probably not\" Kathlin called down from the hole in the floor above them. Liaena gave the broken floorboards an odd look, then glanced at Mei askance. \n\"….So is she a construct then?\"\n\n\"Probably not, constructs don't bleed\"\n\n\"Right.\" Liaena agreed after a moments consideration of this point, before returning her attention to Mei. \"….Right! Sit down! You are literally running on adrenaline, your arm is bust up and I'm unconvinced about concussion\" the girl was fearlessly pushing the huge Draenei at this point. This might normally have had zero effect, but Mei found herself floating under the effects of zero gravity once again. This allowed Liaena to propel her effortlessly across the floor to dump her onto an old chair that had been left as one of the rooms sole furnishings besides the shelves. \n\nTaking a closer look at Mei's arm that was currently bleeding profusely, Liaena wrinkled her nose as she dug into her bag to come out with a small vial and a roll of bandages. \"Get down here, would you!?\"\n\n\"Coming. Just dealing with cinders\" Kathlin's voice floated back through the hole. \"Li - is there any liquid in this house that's not flammable? I can only find alcohol\"\n\n\"Really? I'd have thought water would be the thing that's not touched\" Liaena sniffed, before returning her attention to Mei as she uncorked the vial with a distinctly ominous sounding 'plop'. \"…This might sting a bit\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"Are you okay? Sorry about the gate-crashers, I was about to throw them out…\"\n\n\"Yes, they are a bit persistent... \" \n\nSharon muttered as he glanced across to see Malizia fly across the cellar for a moment; courtesy of Vashi's magic; right before being kick-hammered right into the ground - coincidentally at the very same spot Sharon had been standing only seconds ago!\n\n\"That... might have been an inconvenience at best. Good save, Li!\"\n\nThe High Elf thought to himself, before smiling up at Liaena.\n\n\"That said, I think we have neutralized the most of them. Though what with some of them hidden as Night Elves, it's really hard to say. Maybe we should get Rithrynn or some other Night Elf who knows the warband very well to help us out.\" \n\nSharon reasoned as he thought about the intruders posing as Night Elves, which was a trick once used by Liaena now being used against them. Although he had to commend the intruders on their creativity, he was not so sure he could say the same about the execution of their plan. \n\nAnd they had defeated the Death Knight surprisingly easily...\n\n\"Speaking of Rithrynn, do you know where she is? I thought she normally spearheads us during these combat situations.\" Sharon would suddenly comment as he sat atop of Liaena's shoulder as she tended to Mei, throwing the girl a quizzical look.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

[ { "text": "With his question left hanging dead, Sharon nodded.\n\n\"I guess nobody knows where that girl is then.\"\n\nWell, obviously with the exception of one; Naliyah, whom seemed to have some kind of mental GPS of Rithrynn, to know her every location. But Sharon had no clue as to where Naliyah was either.\n\n\"Not the most pressing matter, regardless!\"\n\nAs the conversation between Kathlin and Liaena dragged on, with Kathlin being positioned on the other side of the big Mei, making her rather hard to see; the tense atmosphere became easily noticeable, to the point at which Sharon wondered if Mei couldn't genuinely taste the salt between the two priestesses. \n\n\"Hrmmmmgh... \" A low groaning eminated from the other end of the cellar as the previously unconscious body of the Death Knight began to move, Malizia opening a weary eye as the bedraggled Draenei returned to life.\n\nNoticing the crowd that had gathered on the opposite room of the cellar, with everyone gathered around Mei, Malizia would receive a small grin on her face. Suddenly raising an arm towards them, she would create a wave of energy that crashed into all of them. \n\nWithin seconds, the first thing the group would hear would be the quiet muttering from Malizia, before a wall of force hit them from behind, knocking Mei, Vashi, Kathlin, Liaena and Sharon forward with considerable force and into a pile on the other end of the room!\n\n\"Not today!\" Malizia panted as she reached into a pouch hanging by her side, producing a scroll of some kind. Unfolding it and quickly muttering what sounded like an enchantment, the Death Knight would be consumed by a white light, before disappearing into thin air!\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAppearing outside, 30ft above the mansion, Malizia would rematerialize.\n\nAt first, she was smiling.\n\nThen she was frowning, as she realized she was not standing on anything.\n\nThen, looking down, and realizing she was currently hovering above the mansion; gravity about to kick in; she would gasp, before letting out a cry as she began falling!\n\nLanding onto the tilted roof, she would crash into the snow, passing by a rather surprised Sentinel as she raced towards the edge!\n\n\"Shit! Shit-shit-shit-shit-sit!\" Malizia would exclaim as she flailed around and sliding down through the half frozen snow on the roof, grabbing about to try to get ahold of something; which just so happened to be the end of the cloak of the surprised sentinel; whom in turn was dragged off her post and with Malizia as she continued downwards!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "In one moment, Vashi was lost in her own blushing as she was staring back at Mei, unsure what to even say as her dark blue, purple skin gained a very visible pink hue.\n\nIn the next moment, Vashi then found herself lying on top of a fallen Mei, having just been knocked over by a sudden force wave of some kind!\n\n\"I... !\" Vashi merely gasped, looking down at Mei whom she was lying on top of with an astounded expression. But the cause of the expression would be less the sudden attack from behind, and more the position that she found herself in!\n\nOr on...\n\n\"I... did not intend that, sorry... but thanks for catching me!\" Vashi would eventually find a sufficient amount of words to produce a coherent sentence, looking down at the Draenei currently lying under her, whom in turn was probably lying on top one of the human girls that Vashi could no longer see. Now with a smile on her face, Vashi would raise a hand and reach down towards Mei's face, gently touching her cheek.\n\n\"You're quite cute.\" She eventually said, raising an eyebrow at Mei.\n\"Are you sure you were not sent to me as a gift from the goddess or some kind?\" \n\nVashi gently chuckled as she winked slyly at Mei, playfully tilting her head as she looked down at the Draenei.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"This day just keeps getting better and better... \"\n\nSharon thought as he was picked up by Liaena. Being forcefully pushed and knocked back into a stone wall was rarely a fun experience for anyone, regardless of their size. Though for whatever consolation it was, his sudden meeting with the wall had not been accompanied by an equally sudden meeting with the rear end of a large Night Elf flying in behind him or similar. \n\nAll things considered, it could have been worse.\n\n\"Is that right, Mister Dal'dieb?\"\n\n\"Yes, if she's using a normal scroll of teleportation, she should be within 30 feet of the mansion in any direction. But although the barrier may have stopped the teleportation short, it won't prevent her from simply running past it once she's out.\" Sharon would reply to Kathlin as he looked towards the apprentice, suddenly smiling as he nodded with his head.\n\"And good job on that description on the nature of spacial magic. I could almost have sworn it was something you had taken out of one of my own arcane thesis a couple of centuries back!\"\n\nCommendations aside, Sharon soon realized that they had a more pressing matter; that being the runaway Death Knight who was presumably getting closer and closer to escaping for every moment they wasted chatting.\n\n\"We should not delay, however.

Save the canoodling for later. Do you know where that Death Knight went!? She must have teleported, right? Can you trace that?\" \n\n\"Oh, easy!\" Vashi gleamed as she sat up on the hovering Mei, raising a hand whilst concentrating on something. A blue, shimmering mist briefly wreathed her fingers, before she suddenly looked up and pointed at the roof.\n\"Oh, she went that-a-way! Straight up, if we hurry, we'll... WHOAAAAHH!\"\n\nVashi was in the middle of explaining while also at the same time trying to get off Mei. But even though the Draenei was suspended in the air above the ground, she was by no means stabilized; a fact soon discovered by Vashi as she, and Mei, suddenly spun around mid-air as the mage had accidentally leaned too far to the right!\n\n*\n\nMeanwhile, up in one the high towers of the mansion that Captain Serphia had made her own, the door would open up as the Captain walked in with a big smile on her face.\n\n\"Ohh Syn'dial, I never realized before that you looked so beautiful... \" Serphia would speak, gazing down at something she was holding in her hand; which on further inspection would reveal itself to be the shrunken form of Rithrynn, the tiny sentinel trying desperately to wriggle herself out of the Captain's grip while throwing her a pleading look.\n\n\"Uh, mistress, clearly you are mistaken! You are not yourself, you'd normally never say,- !\"\n\nHowever, in her rapid talk, Rithrynn would be promptly silenced as Serphia laid a finger on her mouth!\n\n\"Sshhh... I may have been mistaken my entire life, but that does not make this realization any less true.\" Serphia said with a smirk as she placed Rithrynn down on one of the cupboards next to the bed, before the Captain next moved her hands to begin unbuckling and removing her sentinel uniform with an impressive degree of efficiency. Although perhaps there was not much to remove to begin with...\n\nRithrynn, whom had been about to say something in the beginning, was left dumbstruck and with her jaw hanging as the tiny elf simply gazed up at the massive, towering body of her Captain now looming in front of her, most of her view taken up by Serphia's large hips right in front of her!\n\n\"One moment, just you and me, it will be... \" Serphia was about to begin talking when suddenly she would be interrupted by a scream from outside!\n\nLooking to her left and out the window, Serphia's eyes would widen as she saw one of her Sentinels + Death Knight just slide down the side of the roof outside the tower in a duo of shrieks!\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\"Should we investigate that?\" Rithrynn carefully suggested, looking up at her Captain with a hopeful look.\n\n\"Oh no, they got it under control.\" Serphia would quickly reason, before turning back to gaze down at Rithrynn with a particularly mischievous grin on her face!\n\"Now, where were we... \"\n\n*\n\n\"LET.

[ { "text": "\"Oh, yes. Sorry\" Kathlin responded lightly, and waved a hand in their general direction. The spell abruptly ended, with Vashi and Mei falling a few inches to end up a heap on the floor together. Neither seemed to mind much. \n\n\"Right…fine, but I'd sooner not risk her teleports\" Liaena muttered as she studied the pair, before throwing the high elf on her shoulder a quick glance. \"Could you get us out there, Sharon?\"\n\n\"Of course…\"\n\nRaising a hand that was then wreathed in purple light, the High Elf snapped his fingers and a shimmering portal materialised in the air in front of them. Liaena was quick to jump through without a second thought, the high elf still riding on her shoulder.\n\n\"….\"\n\nTaking a look at the pair at her feet, Kathlin bent over to pick up the hopelessly tangled Draenei and Night Elf in one hand and forcibly push them at and through the portal. That being done she immediately jumped through herself, as the tear in the world abruptly vanished after her. \n\n*\n\n\"LET! GO! OF! ME!\"\n\n\"Subtle.\" Liaena observed as she stared up from the lawn now covered with slush and snow. The source of the racket could not have been more clear, with Malizia clinging onto a Night Elf clinging desperately onto the roof. It was also a clear display for any random person that saw fit to take an interest, either from any of the other large mansions on the street, or the street itself. Kathlin characteristically, looked concerned. \n\n\"They're going to wake up the neighbours\"\n\n\"My heart bleeds\"\n\nThat was the very moment that with a nasty ripping sound, the drainpipe the Night Elf was clinging onto came clean off the wall as both started to plummet towards the ground! The fall only lasted a moment however, as a moment later it was arrested for the pair to start gently floating down the height of the house as if falling through quicksand. \n\n\"Impressive escape that. She sure showed us\"\n\nLiaena shook her head before glancing down at Mei, giving her a slightly nasty smile as she gestured toward the other Draenei. \"Think you've got enough left to take her down?

Mommy! Look, those weird things are fighting in the sky!\" He would exclaim enthusiastically, trying to get his mother's attention.\n\nBut the latter did not seem to share the kid's opinion of the situation, as she quickly turned the boy around and began a hurried pace away from the outskirts of the mansion property.\n\n\"Don't look at that weird elf's house, Timmy! It is a foul den of sin and debauchery.\" She instructed her kid as she walked off!\n\nIn the meantime, Sharon tried to raise a hand towards the mother, calling out to her.\n\n\"Good day to you too, Ms, Marrowstalk!\" \n\nThe High Elf called out from where he stood on Liaena's shoulder, but was completely ignored by the mother as she walked away with her child, thwarting any attempts from the latter to turn around to get a second glance at the situation!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "\"NOOOOOOOOOOoooo.... wait, wut?\"\n\nFollowing a brief but intense scream after the drainpipe that she had recently been clinging to was torn off, plunging the Watcher and Malizia into a free fall from the top of the mansion's roof, the expression on the Sentinel's face would eventually change as the speed at which they were falling was drastically reduced.\n\nWhile at first she had been frightened, the sentinel's face would for a moment become the very manifestation and definition of a big WTF look, as if she could not even comprehend what in the twisting nether had just happened, but she would eventually realize that she was floating, not falling, towards the ground instead!\n\n\"Baleisha din(the fuck)!??\" The sentinel would utter in Darnassian, as she looked around confused.\n\nAt first, she saw the crowd that had gathered on the grounds below, consisting of a couple of humans, the mini-High Elf, as well as Vashi who was together with a mysterious Draenei.\n\nEventually, however, she would look down and see Malizia floating right below her. Within the blink of an eye, the Watcher's face would turn into that of a furious grimace, as she began to frantically try to hit and punch the Draenei floating below her.\n\nUnfortunately, she was just out of reach of Malizia, which meant that the watcher ended up flailing madly through the air, inches away from Malizia as she floated down, unable to reach the accursed Draenei!\n\n\"Malin o'Phiel annon drenu maline ashal'felendare porthil(I'm going to rip off your tentacles, and shove them where the sun don't shine)!!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"You should probably stop that, you know. Violence breaks the cantrip\" Kathlin stated as they stared up at the struggling Night Elf and Draenei. Based on her volume and the fact that the pairs attempts to murder each other did not abate even for a moment, it was unlikely they had heard her. \n\n\"Not to talk less of your impressive martial skills or anything, but Death Knights are the most dangerous up close. I think the apprentices can deal with this situation before it goes out of hand.\"\n\n\"Well I am an expert in not getting out of hand, after all\" Liaena remarked dryly as she produced her dart gun out of a pocket. Checking the other pocket, she found a vial that – after a fleeting glance at the label – was pushed into the holster. Walking forward towards where Malizia was floating slowly down through the air, the girl unceremoniously took aim and fired. A small dart sunk into the neck of the un-helmeted Draenei…given her current fight with the Night Elf, it was probably not even noticed. \n\n\"….\"\n\n\"So what was that supposed to do?\" Kathlin asked, after a few seconds in which nothing appeared to happen. Liaena stared up at the duo, an annoyed look crinkling her forehead. \"Knock her out. Maybe I mislabelled it?\"\n\nFloating down through the air, Malizia shivered slightly as a strange sensation came over her for a moment. Blinking slightly, she shook her head to look back up at the Night Elf. The beautiful Night Elf, with that purpled flush of anger in her cheeks only adding to her charm. A perfectly oval face, a voluptuous body…that young fresh skin…\"\n\n-SMUCK-\n\n\"MRRRRGHHHH!\"\n\n\"….\"\n\nThe two apprentices merely stared up, momentarily speechless as the Draenei lunged forwards to catch the Night Elf and kiss her full on the lips. Judging by the Night Elfs reaction, this was not exactly well received – however the embrace Malizia had her in prevented her from reaching for weapons for the moment. \"…you definitely mislabelled it\"\n\n\"Hrm. Yeah.\" Liaena acceded to this. \"I wondered where that went\"\n\n\"Why do you have a love potion?\"\n\n\"RGGGH!\"\n\n\"Rithrynn needed a boyfriend.

That does sound a little bit drastic.\" Sharon said, as he thought about the potion's potential uses. Indeed, Rithrynn may not have the most eloquent charm, so he might understand the need to give her some drastic \"assistance\". Although he almost felt a little bit sorry for whatever poor schmuck might become the eventual target of the final product. \n\nThe High Elf took a while to just stare at the bizarre situation in front of them, in the form of a Draenei and a Night Elf floating down through the air, involved in a very one-sided kissing match.\nMalizia's higher weight class apparently gave her quite the edge of the Night Elf, whom Sharon knew from experience to be quite seasoned warriors themselves.\n\n\"I don't think our Death Knight is going anywhere... \"\n\n\"YOU BI,- MRGGHHH!\"\n*Smuck*\n\n\" ... at least as long as that watcher does not.\"\n\nSharon commented with a very analytical look on his face as he studied the situation in front of them with great detail.\n\n\"Maybe another potion might be in order.

How did you do that?\"\n\nThe High Elf suddenly paused at the sound of Naliyah's voice, turning to glance over at his side and up at the tall, purple haired Night Elf currently standing next to them, whose breasts could barely even be contained by her woefully undersized vest. Sharon, in an attempt to retain his usual professional posture, allowed the first question to pass over to the Mastermind behind the current situation, Liaena.\n\nInstead, he choose to focus on the situation between Kathlin and Malizia, preparing a spell in case the latter would decide that she was no longer interested in a romantic relationship. And so when Naliyah asked her next question, Sharon simply answered on auto-pilot.\n\n\"But more importantly, have any of you guys seen Rithy?! She must be so lonely being without me!\"\n\n\"Didn't Captain Serphia take her with her?

I haven't seen her recently though\"\n\n\"Hi Malizia\" \n\nKathlin said as she studied the Death Knight warily. It was quite evident that if Malia decided to lunge forward, she would very ably swamp the much smaller woman. \"I can't do that, I'm afraid.

After all, it would not be very unusual of Naliyah to have been distracted with other things. Said elf had also been quite small, which did not make him very noticeable, and it had been Sentinel Aleena who had 'dealt' with him so effortlessly...\n\nHearing that Aleena was 'dealing' with the captured intruders as well, including the accompanying audio from the living room, made Sharon throw a glance over at Liaena.\n\n\"Well... that's good news!\" Sharon then replied to Naliyah, throwing on a smile before glancing over at Liaena.\n\"It's good to hear they won't be a problem anymore... \"\n\nAs he glanced over at Liaena, Sharon could look past her and see Malizia, the Draenei Death Knight having begun to patiently wait for her lover to return on her promise and slumped back down on her butt in the middle of the floor.

I need to help Silje give a statement anyway\"\n\n\"Uhhh…what?\" Silje stuttered at this. The girl looked caught between conflicting emotions: the joy of finally leaving the (mad)house and the fear of what awaited her on the outside. \"They'll arrest me!\"\n\n\"Of course they won't….\"\n\"yeah, they might\"\n\nKathlin exhaled slightly as she gave Liaena a very pointed look of 'you're not helping' over Silje's shoulder. \"You were used like a pawn. They're not going to arrest you. But you should give a statement. You're a witness of all of this\"\n\n\"Uh-huhmmm….\" Silje said nervously, not looking entirely on board with all of this. Kathlin frowned slightly, studying the Draenei at their feet again. \"Alternatively…we could just call the guard in. That would save us shifting her across the city. But your household is crazy and might attack them. What do you think?\" (This was aimed at Sharon)\n\nLiaena meanwhile had been distracted by Mei and the talk of disturbing Serphia at her…play.

A desire that was understandable, but one that Sharon also realized was one that they couldn't hurry. If they did it wrong and Malizia simply got away, then what would they do?\n\n\"If she manages to escape, it would hardly make the situation any better.

[ { "text": "Serphia's face was a mix of anger, impatience and even confusion as she looked at Mei, the Draenei suddenly facepalming to the sounds of the ruckus going on downstairs.\n\nThe Captain furrowed a brow at the Draenei for a moment, wondering if things truly could have gone out of hands downstairs. Or at least more than usual! Taking a moment, Serphia would perk up with one ear as she listened to the chaos downstairs, identifying the individual sounds.\n\nThe sounds of relentless brawling? Nothing out of the ordinary. Check!\nScreaming Sentinels? Nothing out of the ordinary. Check!\nThe crashing noise of furniture being broken? Nothing out of the ordinary. Check!\n\nThe distinct sound of a pint sized voice, belonging to none of her sentinels, and cackling with maddening glee? ... that was not ordinary.\n\n\"Don't tell me they accidentally summoned an Imp or something!\" Serphia grumbled to herself as her eyes passed over to Vashi and Mei. With a sigh, she'd clench her big, purple butt one last time, giving Rithrynn a last good shove, before she took a step forward.\n\n\"Alright, we will go investigate this death knight problem of yours, Draenei!\" Serphia said, sounding none too thrilled about the prospect at all. Placing one hand behind Mei's back and the other behind Vashi's, the Captain started ushering them forward without asking down through the corridor as they headed towards the stairs.\n\"But if this is some kind of joke, Draenei, or if this turns out to be a false alarm - I WILL throw you out the nearest window!\"\n\nSerphia said as a warning to Mei, her silvery eyes burning like hellish torches as she threw the creature a deathly glare!\n\nMei would not be given much of a chance to respond however, when ahead of them, Serphia could already see the familiar party of Sharon, Liaena, Kathlin and another, still unknown girl, just as they came walking up the stairs.\n\nThe very fact that Sharon and Liaena had ever ventured down from the relative safety of the second floor, and down into elf-territory at the first floor, obviously meant that something was going on.\n\nAnd probably something they didn't want to tell her...\n\n\"Quel'Dorei, Sharon! His consort!\" Serphia called out to them as they saw her in return, alongside Vashi and Mei. However, neither of the two parties would be able to exchange much further words, before a rythmic series of crashes, followed by Aleena's screams, would soon reach them from behind!\n\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n\n\"AAAAHHHHH! GET THIS CURSED THING OFF OF ME!!\" \n\nAleena screamed as she was being dragged up the stairs behind Sharon and the party by the possessed satchel currently towing her along, using the word 'curse' perhaps in a more literal sense! Following right behind her where at least four other sentinels; consisting of Lithrielle running first, a second Lelili, Naliyah behind her and a rather shrunk disheveled and shrunk Luci currently stuck in Naliyah's cleavage; that came charging up the steps to try to help the most unfortunate Aleena!\n\nLithrielle had unsheathed a dagger as she lunged past Aleena towards the bag, only for Aleena to frantically wave her arms.\n\n\"NO-NO! THAT'S THE BAG OF THE MIDGET WITCH! IT COULD EXPLODE!!\" Aleena shouted out through her constant battering against the steps until they reached the top, where the party of elves followed Aleena as the satchel pulled her behind Sharon and Liaena, past them into a wall, crashing; reoriented itself, and then shot into a door on the right, pulling a squirming Aleena with it; and quickly luring the other sentinels with it into the room as well!\n\nSerphia, simply gazing at the sight that had just taken place behind Liaena and Sharon with a look of disbelief, slowly gazed back at the group; her gaze now lingering on Sharon and Liaena, but perhaps weighing more down on the black haired human female...\n\n\" ... you may begin by explaining who's satchel that is... \" Serphia began slowly, her icy voice almost being as intimidating as the deep and expectant glare she was now casting towards Sharon's group, as the Captain came to rest her hands on her hips impatiently!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Eh. Fine. If Sharon's up for it\"\n\n\"We probably should anyway... \" Sharon muttered as he thought over the matter.

Hopefully. Yet he knew too much to be an optimist around the Captain.\n\nYet when they finally found the Captain, the ensuing chaos that followed them from downstairs left Sharon dumbstruck for a moment. Gazing ahead at the trail left behind by Aleena and the rest of the Night Elves trying to rescue her, the High Elf quietly shook his head to the sound of a vase being knocked over and promptly crushed to fine dust in the room that the Night Elves had went into, before he leaned in towards Liaena to mutter quietly to her.\n\n\"I appreciate the assist, but are you really sure that was the best idea?\" He asked, though fully aware that Serphia, what with her elven hearing, might very well be able to overhear even their quiet conversation!\n\n\"I think, Captain Serphia... \" Sharon eventually started, throwing an uncertain look towards the Captain, and then back at the room into which Aleena and the other elves had gone.

He had a lingering suspicion that Serphia already knew, and lying to a power-mad officer was probably one of the worse ideas. No, perhaps it might help to play her megalomaniac side with some flattery.\n\nHopefully Liaena and Kathlin were thinking the same...\n\nNoticing Mei walking next to Serphia, Sharon threw a smile as he looked over at the towering Draenei; the only other figure in the corridor that stood head to head with the already towering figure of the 8ft tall Night Elven Captain.

This was followed immediately by a series of crashing noises that shook the room, causing the occupants to duck, and maniacal laughter.

[ { "text": "There was a moment of pause as the understanding of what Liaena really was talking about finally sinked in with the two elves.\n\nFor a moment, the color of both Serphia and Lithrielle's faces vanished slightly, and their eyes widened as they thought of the possible outcomes. To Serphia, the thought of turning the already giant Draenei Death Knight into a monstrous, giant spider that could rampage through the streets with its long, icky legs was enough to send a chill down the otherwise stoic warrioress's spine. And to Lithrielle, the image of turning the Draenei into a giant frog with a jabbing, long sticky tongue was perhaps even more frightening than the current thing outside of the mansion.\n\nAnd then again, even the idea of a giant, evil rabbit with command over the powers of evil at its disposal...\n\n\"I think you are underestimating rabbits, little human, they are... \" Lithrielle started carefully, peering down at Liaena from behind her Captain, only for Serphia to suddenly raise a hand towards her to motion her to be quiet.\n\n*\n\n\"Wait, I recognize that voice... wait, it's Li.

Instead, she aimed under it, digging her large hands into the ground, going below the shield, finding the bottom of the spherical shield, before suddenly pulling it, the guardsmen, and a good chunk of dirt and cobblestone straight up from the ground.\n\n\"Have you boys not learnt to not disturb a girl in her private moment?\" Malizia grinned with wicked glee as she stood up on one knee, before holding the sphere with the soldiers in one hand almost like a bowling ball behind her, and suddenly tossing them to the side, causing the magical barrier to roll down the street towards the canal like a big, glowing bowling ball; the guardsmen being scrambled around inside, their voices of confusion, terror and occasional puking being muffled by the rolling sphere as it crushed anything in its path.\n\n\"Now then... where were we?\"\n\nMalizia said whilst grinding her hands together as if she had just taken out the trash, already moving towards Kathlin's little hiding spot while pretending to not know where the little girl was.\n\n\"Now that that's out of the way, sweetie, how about we continue to consummate our brilliant lo,-\"\n\n\"STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU FOUL DEMON BITCH!

With her black cloak flowing in the ash behind her, she raised one hand to point it accusingly at Malizia's backside as the demoness faced away.\n\nA little bit further up behind, staring out one of the windows, would be Sentinel Lithrielle, holding a heavy flower patterned bag whilst giving the whole scene a worried look.\n\n\"I DEMAND YOU BOW IN SUBMISSION AND PLEA FOR MY FORGIVENESS - I DO NOT TOLERATE INSUBORDINATION, BUT MOST OF ALL, I DO NOT TOLERATE PARTY CRASHERS!!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Master Sharon, I hate to be the bringer of bad news... \" Sounded Friedrick's ever calm and unalarmed tone as the butler could be seen stepping into Sharon's sanctum as the High Elf was frantically moving about the large apparatus in the middle.\n\n\"You wouldn't perchance be referring to the giant demon outside, would you?\" Sharon replied without taking his gaze away from the machine as he was carefully adjusting the screws around the cage holding the fel crystals, as if he was disarming a bomb that could blow up in his face at the slightest of provocations!\n\n\"No, it is not that... \"\n\n\"Let me guess, Liaena has unearthed her emergency stash?\"\n\n\"Not that either, Master Sharon.\"\n\n\"Our dear Captain has gotten wind of my secret liquor storage below the well?\"\n\n\"No, but that's only a matter of time.

The result? Before Serphia even knew what happened, the shoulder she was standing on was no longer below her feet, and instead, the stray back of a big, red arm slapped into her from behind, swatting the Captain away like a bug - her silvery eyes both stunned, surprised, and offering a token glimpse of warning at Liaena standing on the edge of the mansion - before the Captain slammed into a smaller roof of the mansion and fell right through it with a crash!\n\n\"Ai-aii-aiaiia!\" \n\nMalizia screamed as she jumped around, the tiny figure of Lithrielle visible beneath Malizia as the Sentinel darted across the battlefield that had once been Sharon's garden, dodging any trampling hooves and slipped into the mansion's back door!\n\nIn the meantime, Malizia had been wildly clawing at the tiny, burning straps of clothing still left on her body, trying to tear them off! The minor, almost unnoticable discomfort generated by the flames seemed to have been completely ignored by the panicked demoness as she tore off what little clothes she had been wearing, and threw the burning fabric across the garden!\n\nWhile Draenei were excellent sprinters and possessed great leg strength, they had generally lacked flexibility and balance. A fact that became painfully obvious as the panicked Malizia found herself struggling to regain balance in the confined space of the garden, and was staggering backwards towards the mansion!\n\n\"Don't you even as much as think of throwing that secon.... d bottle... ... \" The watcher who had begun berating Liaena from the level above suddenly went quiet when she noticed the shadow that had suddenly fallen over them, only to look up to see the giant demoness as she was rapidly falling in their direction.\n\n\"GODDESS!!

As soon as I get free, I am going t,- aaAAAAAAHHHHH!\"\n\n\"Mistress, you saved me!!\n\nThe struggling noises coming from Malizia would suddenly be replaced by a deep, shuddering gasp of pure rapture as Serphia could be seen standing high over her rear, holding a freshly freed Aleena in her grip! Eying her little sentinel with a wicked expression, Serphia would raise an eyebrow casually at her.\n\n\"Tell me, Sentinel Aleena, weren't you my promised slayer of big beasties! Hmmm?\"\n\n\"Well, I... uhmm... \" Aleena stammered for a moment, pausing.\n\"It was a classic rear attack maneuver, mistress! I almost had her!\"\n\n\"Ohh, sorry then. Let me put you back inside... \"\n\n\"OH-NO-NONO, mistress! It's all fine out here! The fresh air just gave me some new ideas!!!\" Aleena quickly clarified as she waved her arms frantically at her Captain's smug face. Serphia enjoyed this in no small part, but before she could gloat any further, she noticed as Malizia suddenly shot a hoof out against her!\n\nDeftly dodging the backward kick, Serphia merely chuckled as Malizia managed to pull her head out of the rubble of the mansion and come in with a wide haymaker! Serphia moved her arm forward to prepare to meet her, but suddenly... something happened.\n\nThe big, red incoming fist of the demoness was suddenly rapidly growing in size, becoming bigger and bigger! And so was Aleena, suddenly too big to be held in her grasp. A quizzical expression, followed by a very concerned expression dawned on Serphia's face, and it was only too late that she realized what was actually going on.\n\n\"Mistress, look ou,-\"\n\n*SMACK!*\n\nAs both she and Aleena were hit by the red truck that was Malizia's giant fist, Serphia's world would be turned upside down as the once confident Captain was blown away; up side down; out across the city, the High Elf's mansion and the giant red horned woman becoming smaller and smaller as the two Night Elves flew across the horizon!\n\nUsing all the strength she could muster, Serphia would grit her teeth and utter some final words of spite.\n\n\"Vashi, if I ever see you again, there will be divine retribution to pay!!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "There was an obvious stall from the High Elf as the idea of turning themselves into mice began to proliferate through the room.\n\n\"Erheemmm... \" Sharon uttered as he visibly pulled in one of the lower edges of his cape whilst gazing back at Kathlin and Liaena, as he looked about at them. There was no attempt at a poker face from the High Elf as he most certainly did not seem enthusiastic about the whole prospect.\n\n\"What is wrong with a good old invisibility spell now again? Not to mention I really can't cast spells as a mice, so if we were to suddenly need an impromptu fireball... \"\n\n\"Plus, I don't think I'm quite ready for the furry parade just yet!\"\n\n\" ... are you guys married already?\"\n\nThe lower cheek of Sharon's face visibly contracted in discomfort when he heard the voice of Vashi, as he subtly raised one eye to stare at the Night Elf mage.\n\n\"This conversation is getting out of hand! I pray to the light, please, send help!\"\n\nSharon gritted his teeth as he prepared himself to answer Vashi, when suddenly a distant scream made him raise a brow in surprise and look up towards the roof. Just in time, as soon a heavy crash could be heard from the floor above, before suddenly the roof above their heads cracked and broke as a two purple bodies would fall through the roof and into the shop!\n\n\"It's the SKY ELVES! MY THEORY WAS CORRECT! AAHHH, THEY HAVE COME TO KIDNAP ME!\" Gimpsy's terrified voice would suddenly be heard across the shop as the little gnome immediately threw herself into the nearest cover.\n\nSharon, however, was not as surprised, as he looked down at a pair of dusty, disheveled Serphia and Aleena as they lay on the ground, having successfully wrecked one fifth of the workshop in their entry, and groaning on the floor.\n\nNonetheless, he could not help but let out a slight sigh of relief.\n\n\"No, unfortunately I think you need to question the validity of the empirical material.\" Sharon added as an aftertthought to Gimpsy's earlier proclamation, as he motioned towards the two fallen women.\n\n\"It's just Night Elves... \"", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

I can't... breaaaathe... !\"\n\nSuddenly sounded the painful voice of Sentinel Aleena, coming from below Serphia. Fortunately for Vashi, it was at that moment Serphia would take her attention away from her to notice the unfortunate Aleena whom had inadvertently been turned in a collision cushion for the large Captain during the fall, and currently trapped under the Captain's own large and well trained rear!\n\n\"Thank you, Aleena. At least you covered for me!\" Serphia said with a dangerous voice, eyeing no one in particular though meaning otherwise as she got off Aleena who let out a desperate gasp for air as she rolled over.\n\nStanding up, Serphia couldn't help but feel a sense of nakedness. \n\nThis was not so much because of the fact that the Captain was still completely naked after her scuffle with Malizia, sans armor or clothes. However, it was more related to the fact that as she reached some itchy fingers down to her waist, she could not feel her sabers nor daggers, not even her plated gauntlets with some lustrous \"pain-ridges\" cut into the forward fist area. Although her trained fist and legs could be considered weapons in their own right, the Captain felt nonetheless uncomfortable not having one of her favored tools of murder within arm's reach!\n\n\"I need some wargear! ... GNOME!\" Serphia suddenly pointed at Gimpsy.\n\"In the absence of some proper gear, you have just been elected for the rare honor of equipping a proud warrior of the Keldorei! Bring me your best equipment!

A slight shimmer would appear above their heads in the roof as the magical light started to take the shape of a perfect image of a fully-in-tact roof.\n\nAs long as no one had the ability to detect magic or was unfortunate enough to step on the illusion, it should be virtually undetectable to the human, even elven eye.\n\nThe whole performance was done with a great degree of calm by Sharon. The fact that they were on the run from a massive, gigantic demon; the fact that two Night Elves had just come crashing through the roof without warning; or the fact that there was currently a completely naked 8ft tall Amazonian lady standing in the shop, did not seem to phase him much. It was not so much only his experience with Liaena's shenanigans or Rithrynn's warband that had made him inured to the zany events around him, as he liked to contribute much of that mental resilience to his general centuries of life and extravagant lifestyle.\n\nHowever, the High Elf's seeming calm would be broken when he suddenly heard Serphia slam down the bill on his tab!\n\n\" ... and you can put the tab on the High Elf!\"\n\n\"Now hold on a second!\" Sharon abruptly proclaimed as he turned around to glare at Serphia with his azure blue eyes, ignoring the dollar signs that just appeared in Gimpsy's eyes, whilst still pointing his staff as he continued to channel the illusion spell offhandly. \n\n\"I am not going to cover for your tab at every occasion, my dear 'mistress'! I am not your personal sponsor! If you couldn't even defeat that demon; which by the way is hardly one third cathedral size, so don't pat yourself on the back quite so much; while your ass was large enough to sink an orcish warship, I hardly believe any amount of wargear is going to give you a fighting chance against your nemesis!\"\n\nSharon was quick to call out. However, this was also the time when the rational part of his brain just kicked in, and the High Elf leaned backwards as he suddenly became the center of focus of the Captain's glare!\n\n\" ... maybe I should have just paid the bill.\"\n\nSharon privately thought to himself, secretly cursing his sudden outburst. However, in order to avert disaster, he later added.\n\n\"I know both me and Liaena are in the room with you, but we are all on the run. Surely you could just have your lieutenant requisition some new gear, or send your warband out... they seem to have a natural aptitude for pillaging and raiding the property of others.\"\n\nSharon said with a much more calm voice, secretly trying to look away from the Captain, whilst hoping the name dropping and mention of lieutenant would serve as an incentivizer for Rithrynn, perhaps even Falere, to \"calm\" their Captain before Sharon would suddenly fly out the nearest window!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

For a moment, Serphia visually imagined for herself how she could kill the High Elf on the spot using the six nearest objects. Said objects being a big brass rod, a spanner, a mining pick, a teacup, an iron, and of course the Gnome Gimpsy herself.\n\nYet the murderous look on her face would soon give way to a reddish blush as she felt a renewed vigor from Rithrynn, deep inside of her butt, who had suddenly become agitated!\n\nSwaying her hips, she'd turn to look down at Sharon, attempting, but also clearly failing, at keeping a stern, authoritarian expression between the look of comfort and delight.\n\n\"Just you... watch your mouth, High Elf.\" She more mumbled than said, before taking a moment to straighten up to help inch the hapless Rithrynn a bit further, enjoying every second of it; before the murderous part of her brain again reminded her that she had still lost to that demon, and so slumped her big butt down onto a nearby crate!\n\n\"Mistress... are you,\"\n\n\"We have a demon to slay!\" Serphia quickly stated, raising a hand.\n\"Or, more precisely; I have a demon to slay! Whoever brings her down, remember that I will have the kill!\"\n\n\" ... are you sure charging at it again is going to work?\" Aleena muttered carefully from the sideline, the Sentinel apparently having recovered from her unfortunate role as collision pillow for her large mistress!\n\n\"Yes! ... no, actually, I am thinking of an ambush while it's busy terrorizing the silly apes in this city.\" Serphia muttered, gaining a modicum of thoughtfulness on her face.\n\nShe knew a thousand different ways to kill an Orc. But a more than 50ft plus tall giant demoness DID tend to limit the number of available approaches!\n\nShe doubted any of the mages in the room alone had the firepower to kill the giant demoness. But even if they had, she'd never let them steal her kill!\nSo it would be a matter of restraining the demoness, or hold her in place long enough for her to deliver the killing blow! But to deliver an effective killing blow against something that big, she'd need a big weapon.

That was, before he rolled his eyes over to Liaena.\n\n\" ... or rather, the situation you got her into.\"\n\nThe High Elf didn't speak or say anything. However, his eyes were nonetheless in a clear frown as he eyed the girl, making the message behind his expression quite obvious.\n\n\"I won't be ordered around by a long-eared blueberry!\" Gimpsy squeaked as she folded her arms defiantly, before straightening herself up to stand at the (relatively) more imposing height of three feet! However, given the Captain's critical state of undress, and Gimpsy's point of view, the Gnome had gotten a front seat view to all of the Captain's shenanigans ever since she arrived, and it was obvious in the way she squinted her eyes!\n\"But I'll give you some stuff for free if it just means you would PLEASE dress up like a normal, non-elf person!\"\n\nGimpsy conceded as she closed one eye and pointed at a nearby shelf of used adventuring equipment, labeled \"SALE\", \"SALE\" and \"SALE\" all over.\n\n\"You don't have any of those old mana crystals I sold you a couple of months ago still lying around, do you?\" He asked as he turned to look towards Gimpsy.

It will be left to the reader to determine which girl was responsible for which. \n\n\"You see, that demon is infatuated with my friend here\" Liaena pointed at Kathlin, who had by this point adopted a resigned expression as Serphia's gaze bore down on her. \"As it stands, it will make trying to locate her a high priority – which gives the option of luring it into a location of your choosing.

And the shop in question housing quite the wide diaspora of different items that could theoretically be turned into weapons of violence and murder.\n\nSuddenly placing her hands on her hips and visibly looking away and to the side, breaking eye contact with Kathlin for a moment, the Captain would then add;\n\n\"Buuuut I can make a compromise if it simply human or gnomish steel that you choose to defile.\" Serphia said, as the towering Night Elven warrioress eyed a long, 10ft tall old pike lying in the corner of the shop with murderous ingenuity. \n\nIn Serphia's mind, countless thoughts of death and murder were playing themselves out in her mental murder arena, as they usually did when she was not eating or enjoying the \"compansionship\" of an unfortunate sentinel. She did not care much for any collateral damage the giant demoness might cause. After all, no self-respecting Night Elf would ever willingly choose to live in this ape city, beyond a brief vacation!

None of the guards who'd usually stop him to ask about his carriage license or speed limit were currently out, seemingly not wishing to get in the way of the rampaging demon, a move for which Sharon really couldn't blame them.\n\nThe real challenge came however when they reached the mountainous roads outside of the city.\n\nSharon could see the the tail-ends of some Night Elves riding atop of Nightsabers as they rapidly disappeared up into the mountainous pass ahead!\n\n\"It seems we are catching up to Serphia and her girls!\" Sharon called out to the passengers in the back of the carriage as he cracked his whip once more; a hint of enthusiasm coloring the tone of the High Elf's voice; and the horses pulling the carriage charged upwards across the narrow mountain path ahead. However, the incline was a lot steeper than previously anticipated, the ground muddy, and the carriage obviously not designed as an all-terrain vehicle!\n\nThey had barely gotten a hundred feet or so up one of the steeper parts of the narrow path before the carriage slowed down drastically, and slowly but steadily, started sliding back down despite the best efforts of the horses in front.\n\n\" or not... \" Sharon commented, a distinct look of dismay forming on his face.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

When he had composed himself, managed to clean up his language - and emptied what remained of his bottle of wine - the Great Inventor took one of the parchment rolls he had saved from Dumont and rolled it open.

The stool caught one of the fools in the chest and sent him flying into the wall, the legs embedding themselves into the stone and the one trapped between them terrified once he realise she had done that.\n\nFiora broke out into a run and kicked the last man away, grabbing her tankard as she landed gracefully into a seating position on the table and finished her ale, before swing a leg up to kick away another patron's fist and send the empty cup flying into his face.

Rudeness doesn't win you any favors with the ladies, good sir.\" A menacing smile crossed her features as the man shivered at her performance. \"If I see any of you around me or my companion again, you'll have more than bruises to treat.\"\n\nOnce she was done warning the idiots who had accosted her and Garran, Fiora found her way through the fight to the pirate. \"Well, tough guy, this wasn't what I had in mind for a date... but I really think I'd rather we have some time by ourselves.\"", "username": "Reaper", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"That's the spirit!\" Vates said, gesturing Daren on as he excitedly hobbled towards the council. \"Weapons may dull and break, but a good story! Ah- a good story can stay sharp forever.\"\n\nVates led Daren through the grand hall, filled with paintings of great seraphim from times of old, each taking a regal pose. Their steps echoed off the marble floors and through the stone halls as they approached the various offices of the council members. Unlike Dumont, the decorations were all creations of local artists placed, not to show off seraphim culture, but to remind each seraphim walking through the halls of the high standards they must maintain. Where Xerxes halls were filled with trophies and spoils from conquests, many of them Raha's own victories, there was nothing glorifying war either. True to the seraphim culture, each wing and open door seemed to signify that the seraphim were above such petty things as war and gloating, and yet the whole city seemed like one giant spectacle at the same time.\n\nOpening one such door, ornately carved from oak into the image of a book in a forest, Vates gestured for Daren to sit as he perused his collection, muttering to himself. Glancing over his shoulder at the strange fellow that he had captivated for his own entertainment, he finally settled on a particularly old book, worn from a great many uses. The pages were yellowed, and yet not a single speck of dust lay on the leather cover. The old man smiled warmly as he run his weathered hands over the cover, gingerly opening it up to the page he was looking for. In truth, he had long since memorized the tale, as it was one very close to his heart, and yet he flipped the pages as he read anyway, a habit long ingrained into his worn body. \"This particular tale stars a young man not unlike yourself, swept away on grand adventures across wild lands...\" Vates said, beginning his tale.\n\n\"He had fought many dangerous creatures, and laid with more than his fair share of beautiful women. \" Vates teased, \"and yet his heart was like a rolling stone, never settling long enough to grow roots. Dozens of broken blades and too many broken hearts later, the boy, now a man, had learned much of the world, and yet still little of himself.\"\n\nAs the story progressed, Vates seemed somewhat sad, and his hand gently caressed a sketch across the pages of one of the women in the story, a fiery women with jet black hair and raven's eyes dancing in the moonlight. \"He thought himself invincible, and perhaps in spirit he was, until the day he met his first dragon. It had started simple enough, a clash of egos arguing over which could claim the right to any treasure found in a recently uncovered crypt. The dragon felt that it was on daeva lands, so only a daeva should have rights to them, but the man pressed the issue, claiming his discovery granted him rights to whatever it contained. Words became blows, and blows became battle. The sky erupted with lightning as the two fought, their elements aligned such that neither could really hurt the other with magic. The man was swift, his wings strong, and he flew circles around the dragon, but arial acrobatics alone can't down a dragon, and he was struck in the leg, critically injuring him and sending him careening towards the ground.\"\n\nVates paused, shifting lightly in his chair as he glanced at Daren, making sure he wasn't boring the lad. \"The man lives through the good graces of the dragon alone, forced to crawl through the dirt and the mud for miles to the nearest village. He entered the forest a seasoned adventurer, champion to many, but what came out was something much more.\" He waited for dramatic effect, closing his eyes as he finished the sentence, \"What came out was a man who knew he knew nothing, a fool among fools with enough self-awareness to know it. Where I come from, we call that wisdom.\"\n\nClosing the book, Vates made sure to stop one page shy from the end of the story, where a sketch of the man, wounded and recovering at the hands of a tribe of wolves, looked suspiciously like a younger version of Vates himself. Collecting his thoughts, he gently placed the book back on the shelf and addressed Daren. \"I see much of that young man in you, both the good and the bad. It may be twenty years too soon for this story to have much meaning for you, but I hope if you take anything away it's this: adventure without purpose, mischief without consequence, and a life without love isn't worth a single copper coin when you find yourself on death's door.\"\n\nCoughing slightly, Vates realized that perhaps he was being a bit too morose for the sightseer, \"Perhaps you should go and see those inventor's games after all. In truth I'm feeling a bit under the weather and these old bones don't hold out as long as they used to. You're welcome to come back again, if you'd like. Perhaps I can tell you about the seraphim that flew higher than any other, or the daeva that could change his appearance at will. I promise the next time it will be a bit more entertaining.\"\n\nVated hobbled out of his seat, leaning heavily on his cane, as he led Daren back into the main hall. \"Just follow the cheers and you'll find it in no time,\" he said, pointing in the general direction of the stadium. \"They've probably only just begun, so if you hurry you can make the second round.\"", "username": "wild-kitsune", "char_name": null } ]

Life in Dumont hadn't been entirely miserable, especially not when she had the company of the other street rats like her who formed a surrogate family of sorts.\n\nWith Garran, the peace she felt was different. Despite his knack of getting into fights, she felt she could let down her guard around him. Perhaps it was simply because her reputation as a thief was restricted to Dumont, and after finally leaving the city, she no longer had to walk around in disguise or keep looking over her shoulder to ensure she wasn't being tailed by guards any more. She didn't have to worry about starving or finding shelter or an empty bath and clean clothes, for that matter.\n\n\"It's my first time on a date too, being a street rat who makes a living off thieving doesn't leave much room for romance.\" She confessed, giggling. \"But it means I'm quite expensive to keep, so you might need to stop spending so much on your drink.\" She was teasing like she usually did, but there was just something different about it today.

His grip was firm, but gentle, and yet bore a strange awkwardness as he pressed his roughly gloved hand into her shoulder. Thankfully, the ale he had ingested earlier, along with the adrenaline pumping through his veins from the barfight, helped him to ignore any apprehension he had, and instead managed to mostly walk down the streets with Fiora at a cheerful pace.\n\n\"Eh?

The nearly complete leg guards seemed at first glance quite heavy - and indeed would be if it were not for the protective and weight reducing runes he had carved on them. The pattern of runes encircled a rather stylized rose emblem on the left guard and a dragon on the right one - the emblems and runes had been the more difficult part to make in Cadogan's opinion - after all anyone can just plop out a pair of leg guards like it's nothing. The little details on them show a truly skilled craftsman.\n\nCadogan let out a sigh of relief - in the case the leg guards or the coat would need some adjustment there would be just enough time for that, not that he doubted himself, on the contrary. Still, he had more or less trusted on his eyes while making the items so there was a slight chance that he had made a miscalculation or that there wouldn't be enough time for making adjustments or...

After a while there was only one name on his list - Alonzo Lightfeather. In truth the Great Inventor didn't owe anything to the particular fellow, but instead had a business proposition.\n\nThe sounds of someone hammering at the door woke Alonzo up, he had at first no intentions of answering the door, but when the furious hammering had been going on for about two minutes he finally went to answer the door. On the other side of the door stood yesterdays's winner, Cadogan Feraldo. \"The hell do you want? Here to brag ab-\" Alonzo's words were cut short due to a very heavy purse hitting his chest. \"Look in the purse and stay silent for a moment.\" Cadogan stated calmly - if a bit coldly. \"That's a half of the prize money from yesterday. It can be yours if you help me on something.\"\n\nAlonzo gripped the purse tightly in his hand and sourly motioned the Great Inventor to move inside. \"What would make you think I would help you?\" He inquired while pulling open the purse and glancing inside it. \"Three things. Firstly your pride as an inventor, secondly the fact that you can never have too much money and thirdly you want to be rid of me.\" Cadogan stated with a little smirk as he counted with the fingers of his still moving hand. After that he lowered the bag from his back to a table.\n\n\"I could be rid of you by just tossing you out, but... Very well, I'm listening for now.\" Alonzo grumbled while wondering what the human had in mind and suddenly coming to a realization. \"...You came all the way here to ask me to do something about that arm of yours - well I have to disappoint you I'm not a healer and...\" Cadogan took the downsized War Walker arm from the bag and lay it on the table. \"Be silent for a moment and think about this - why are you the first one I came to ask for help?\"\n\nAlonzo was silent for a good while as he examined the metallic arm. \"You came to ask me for help first? I'm not the last option then?\" Cadogan nodded \"Yes. Now there is a purely logical reason for this just so you don't think I'm being altruistic or that I have forgotten how close our competition got. I need your invention.\" Alonzo continued examining the metallic arm and pried open two hatches from it. \"I see now, the devices would go here and here... Because you can't use magic and thus wouldn't be able to recharge the arm...\"\n\nCadogan nodded and adjusted the silver hairpin of his. \"Precisely. So how about it? I can even write down a contract stating that I'll not partake in the Inventor's Games for the next two years. Just think about it. The two of us had a nearly even competition - heck, I think you would have won easily if I hadn't brought my War Walker in.\"\n\nAlonzo gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. If he'd help the damn human he'd get enough funding for his project and wouldn't have to worry about him in a competition for a few years - then again the human had shown up on his doorstep without invitation and was already rather rude... Though he had to admit that he was intrigued by Cadogan's invention and... The seraphim took a deep breath and nodded. \"Fine, I'll help you with that arm then. A friend of mine is a healer so attaching it shouldn't be difficult.\"\n\nCadogan smiled approvingly \"Splendid, how about you send word to that friend of yours and we get working on installing those magic storing devices on the arm?\" Alonzo nodded and the two inventors started working.", "username": "Marcus XVI", "char_name": null } ]

Nevertheless, he eclipsed hers with his own and laughed as raucously as ever. \"Sure, why not lassie, thar always be room in me belly fer grog!\" he shouted as he slapped his scorched abdomen. Caelum laughed once, before turning away into the recesses of the mansion. \"Run along you two, I still have work to do here,\" he said as he flexed his old, yellowed wings, \"besides, I still have to explain to the constable what happened here, and I'd rather you two not be at the scene of the crime to mess up the story.\" Garran threw him a little look, before shrugging and turning to Fiora. \"Whassay we head 'n down t' the port 'nd see what bars are open lass?\" he asked with a grand smile on his face, \"ev'ry drink 's on me t'day! Lessee if ye c'n outdrink ye old cap'n!\"\n\nIn the dingy bar of the \"Saucy Stallion\" within the merchant's district, the two humans found refuge among their kind. It was still a little gaudy for Garram's taste, but being a newcomer to this city, he didn't see anything better, and so he entered with his companion, still holding her hand. A few wolf whistles went up as the two walked through the door, as well as a few shudders as they caught sight of the massive tear in Garran's cheek, revealing the inner musclature of his mouth. Taking a seat in one of the more secluded booths, Garran was served a tankard of heavy ale without even asking, which he promptly slammed down in three gulps. As Fiora's drink finally came, and Garran's was refilled, they toasted various things together. Their health. The health of their party, Their mutual survival, and the rest was just drowned out in a flurry of empty tankards.\n\nHalfway through his next tankard, Garran caught a glimpse of a group of men drawing nearer to their table. As they came closer however, they seemed to totally ignore him. \"Hey pretty lady, how about you dump that ugly arse you've got there and come have some fun with us?\" said the one one in the lead, a skinny little beanpole with too much ego for his own good. Before Fiora could speak, Garran stood up to his full height, shadowing the little twat and blocking out the sun. \"Turn ar'nd 'nd leave, laddie,\" Garran warned with a smile and pleasant tone, \"this lass be with me.\" Turning to him with a smug look on his face, the man scoffed. \"I believe I was talking to the madame, you overgrown gorilla,\" he said haughtily. Laughing uproariously, Garran leaned in closer, before grabbing him by the folds of his tunic and lifting him off his feet. \"Unhand me brute!\" he shouted indignantly as he tried to pry Garran's massive, ham-like fists off, \"do you know who I am?! My father is the great merchant-!\"\n\"I dn't give a crap, lad,\" Garran said, the smell of cheap alcohol on his breath causing the man to turn away in disgust. Leaning in closer, Garran smiled even wider, emphasising the various scars on is face, especially his missing cheek. \"D'ye wanna know how I got these scars lad?\" he whispered menacingly as their eyes locked again. The man remained silent, suddenly cowed by his sheer size. With a sudden lurch, Garran threw his head forwards and cracked it into the rich ponce's forehead, knocking his unconscious. Throwing his limp body to the ground, he turned in time to see one of his lackeys draw a knife from his belt. \"C'mon lad, that be nothin' more than a pin!\" he shouted as he doubled over in laughter. Enraged, the man stepped forwards and made a stab, but the pirate grabbed his wrist and tyanked upwards. With a belly churning crunch, he tightened his grip, and the man screamed as he grasped at his arm. Dropping him back to the ground next to his unconscious master, he revealed that with a simple grinding of his hand, he had snapped the bones in his wrist and forearm. The knife, tiny in the goliath's grasp, was thrown into the ground beside him.\n\nTurning back to Fiora, he beamed brightly, as if nothing had happened. \"So, whar were we?\" he asked as he took a step forward, before there was a sudden snap and a shower of splinters. Being forced over, Garran was silent for a second as one of the bar patrons slammed a chair over his head, breaking the piece of furniture. Silence occupied the entire bar. Slowly, laughter permeated the room, coming from the pirate himself. Turning to his aggressor, he grabbedhim by the face and lifted him up. \"I guess yer lookin' fer trouble, matey,\" he said as he smiled widely, a single drop of blood making its way down his face, staining his fair, \"and guess what? Ye just FOUND IT!\" With those final two words, he cast the man into the wall opposite him. it was then that all hell broke loose.

[ { "text": "Paul sat down heavily in his bed wondering what the hell would happen if it really came to it and he had to fight Kyleson again. George...George used to be a friend of his...more than a friend. He was a brother to him and that day he turned...he took everything from him in a single moment. Paul closed his eyes and remembered the times they shared together. The days back when they went to school together, meeting again after a few years in OMNI, the days at Hawaii, The Battle of Washington, and finally that fateful day at London. The pilot of Aegis Gundam...and the man he hated more than anyone else in the world. But even so Paul couldn't help but dream about the days when they were kids back in space. \n\n\"Hey Paul come on! We're going to be late for school you loser!\" George had shouted loudly into his ear as the red headed boy tugged at him viciously. \"Come on you big dope! We're going to be late for school!\" George was right and he knew that Paul wouldn't stop browsing the internet if he could help it. \"Oh shut it already George it's not like we're going to be in trouble! Hey pops could you please give us a lift to school before George get's a heart attack!?\" Paul asked his father who was sitting down writing down notes on what would become the Gundam Project. It had numerous other names but Paul himself preferred to call it the Gundam Project simply because it had been easier to say. His father was a scientist and had been working on a secret project to enhance the mobile suit designs that were quickly becoming faded pieces of war. The Zaku and other units were simply too outdated and he never wanted to get his father started on the Mobius units. He had a crack team of helpers too! It was such an interesting thing those suits! \"I'm sorry Paul I can't but I can have Uncle Mario give you a ride if you'd like.\" said Paul's dad as he smiled back at him and George. \"Nah I'll just walk in that case. George needs to lose weight anyway fatty!\" Paul said punching George in the shoulder who in turn called him a daddy's boy. Paul and him argued back and forth all the way out of the house. But George was right about one thing. His dad meant everything to Paul. Without knowing who is mother was...well...life was hard. \"Come on man I've seen broken down trucks move faster than you are!\" Paul shouted to George who struggled to keep up with him. Being...who he was Paul was simply better at physical activities than George who was a normal dude. \"You know I'd be able to keep up with you if you ran slower you jerk!\" George called out to Paul as the two ran too the school that was so far away from their house.\n===\nWhen Graham entered his room he looked around and found it to be quite empty. With his new bed fellows just completely out of the picture Graham couldn't help but wonder what he'd do now. Jack found him repulsive and he didn't want to bother with Paul who was probably tired after his ordeal. He figured he'd not visit Stella until she was let out of that bed room of hers, and the others from Celestial Being made him want to gag. The only people he was interested in besides them were the good captain because he couldn't quite pin point it but he knew he felt something...strange about the man. Something hidden beneath the fine clothes and other assorted medals that adorned his usual clothes...something that made Graham afraid as if he was watching a caged mountain lion. Whatever it was Graham felt that everything around him was much different than it appeared. He supposed he could say this world was distorted to quote that boy Setsuna.\n===\nTimeskip - Preparations to Fight the enemy forces\n\nPaul sat in the middle of the changing room after once again zipping up his ZAFT flight suit for the umpteenth time in days.

Kenta was providing them with information acting as a communications officer for Mariemaia alongside her own soldiers and commanders. \"All hands prepare for battle stations.

When he'd first seen the beam type weaponry being used, he was concerned that his Phase Shift armor wouldn't do him much good if he took a hit to the body, but the first time one hit his shield, he realized maybe he wasn't in as much danger, as it was easily deflected. As he got closer, he stowed the beam rifle and fired a railgun at the second hangar, intending to cause more damage before any more enemy suits came out. \n\nDodging a swipe from one of the enemy mobile suits, the Duel draws the beam saber and cuts it in half, pivoting on it's suits left foot to block the attack from another before slicing off the hand. In the cockpit, Jack was working a mile a minute, keeping his head in the game and making sure he didn't take any unnecessary hits that would deplete the Phase Shift armor faster. Still, he grunted in annoyance when an enemy suit got in a lucky hit and struck the Duel with it's weapon.

Nena continued before Jason interrupted her. \"Don't aim for crowded areas where our main army is going. Aim for pockets of infantry.\" Jason told her as Nena sighed and changed her target to the group near Exia. Firing the cannons on her shoulders it impacted on the ground disorienting a group of soldiers and killing most of them. \"What a bore...\"\n\nThe soldiers on the ground scrambled as Beta Team descended onto the enemy units. Their leg 12.5mm Anti-infantry guns tore up the enemy before they could even raise their guns. However were forced back when the enemy brought out an rpg unit and blew off one of the arms of the daggers. \"So much death...so much could have been avoided if they didn't attack first. But I trust my captain and I trust my men. I won't let these fools harm them.\" Beta Leader said sadly as he used his CIWS to return fire destroying the whole side of the building. The use of Trinity was clearly overkill. \n\nPaul simply didn't care how one sided this was nor did he care that the enemy was being massacred in droves. At least not as much as he should have. He knew this was something he himself would have been against if suggested a week ago. But for whatever reason now he simply just...felt cold. Whatever these bastards stood for they certainly didn't stand for peace otherwise they wouldn't have attacked them in raids. He used his Sumbullet's long range Agni Kai hyper impulse beam cannon to pick off enemy suits that still remained. He wondered if this was really how things should be going and how ethical this really was but in the end it didn't matter. It had been a week and he had dropped his morals regarding this sort of combat? Pathetic really. Maybe it was because they had attacked them or maybe it was because this was just a joint attack on behalf of Mariemaia's Army, or even possibly it was because of this world itself whatever it was Paul had no doubt in his mind he was in a normal place anymore. Tactics like this were hardly even normal to begin with they were breaking at least a dozen laws regarding to war right now in doing this. He'd leave the enemy suits down there to those who could handle it. \"Jack engage those enemy ace pilots if they're not taken out they have a chance to recover. Watch out for the funnels because they're controlled by someone similar to Puru.\" Paul ordered Jameson as he continued to take pot shots casually at the enemy from his superior position.\n\nMariemaia's Army was being hit hard by the funnels as their armor was the only thing standing between them and being destroyed by Guss's funnels. It was thankfully due to the Airmaster's capabilities that they weren't suddenly overwhelmed. Of course it didn't save them from the Jamesgun who casually cut down two of Mariemaia's suits using it's shield to block what bullets it couldn't dodge. \"You bastards think your good enough to take on the Federation!? You're nothing more than cowards!\" Martin roared as Gyunei blew one of the weapons out of Airmaster's hands as he used his other to fire taking out a funnel before transforming into jet mode and flying around trying to evade the other funnels. \"This guy is dangerous...\" grunted Witz wondering where the hell his allies were at.", "username": "vancexentan", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Ramming his beam saber into one of the enemy suits, Jack cut straight up and cleaved the suit in half from there. \"Copy that, moving to engage the aces.\" Stowing the beam saber again, Jack pulled out his beam rifle and then loaded a frag grenade into the grenade launcher, taking careful aim at a group of funnels and then firing. The resulting explosion damaged or destroyed most of them in that group and by the time their pilot realized what had happened, Jack was on top of him, firing his beam rifle before using his rockets. \"This is Lieutenant Jameson of the Earth Alliance. Surrender now and this won't get any bloodier.\"\n\nThe answer was more attacks, with funnels in the mix. Damn it, this guy won't give up peaceably, will he? Well fuck it then. They want to die, then they can fucking die. Jetting backwards, Jack fired three more shots from the beam rifle before using another railgun shot to by himself some space. Loading an HE grenade into his launcher, he fires it at the other enemy ace, the one engaging Mariemaia's forces, aiming for dead center on it's back.

In return Gyunei used his Jagd Doga's grenade launcher to blast holes into the ground in front of Jack forcing him back before he could get close with the beam saber and landing one blow onto the machine but due to the phase shift suffered little damage. \"What you took a shot like that? Fine I guess I'll have to gun you down!\" Gyunei growled as he split his focus between keeping the airmaster off of him and using his gun to fire at Jack while launching into the sky. \"Don't underestimate me you bastard! I'm an elite pilot!\" growled Gyunei as he returned fire. Meanwhile Mask was dealing with the furious on slaughter of the Jamesgun's performance and Martin's own elite piloting skills. He dodges and blocked shots just as well as any ace pilot could and he used his beam shield to maximum effect. It was like fighting a wall that could attack back with strangely strong vulcan guns and beam saber slashes. \"I am not going to lose too you! Or anyone! I'LL DESTROY ALL OF YOU BY MYSELF IF I HAVE TO!\" Martin shouted in anger. The reason he had turned his back on Mariemaia's men was due to a sudden appearance of patrol soldiers whom had come back undoubtly from some sort of mission and had engaged Mariemaia's Army in a gun battle. \n\n\"Captain...I...I sense something. Someones coming from the north! It feels scary. What should we do?\" Puru said scared as Jason growled and knew that meant one of two things: either more allies, or more enemies.

What a hell of a battle this was...I mean how many people died down there...and from what Jason was gathering they'd just eliminated a group of Earth Federation ships. The uniforms of dead soldiers, and the logo on gunned down suits it made it abundantly clear who they just fought. But...they weren't OMNI. Another group of Earth Federation soldiers? Jason hated what just went down and how he had just proceeded over this butchery but at the end of the day Jason knew he had just secured, hopefully, an alliance with Khushrenada. Jason's face was clearly one of distaste but he made it clear that it wasn't due to his crew that he was unhappy. It took James six attempts to knock his captain out of his inner thoughts. \"What is it James...\" Jason said tiredly rubbing his eyes. James explained that Jack was saying the new pilot wanted to talk to him. \"Let the pilot into the ship.\" Jason said in exasperation. \"Have a compliment of guards bring the pilot to meeting room. Treat the pilot with respect and if the pilot shows any signs of trouble inside of the ship blow it up.\" Jason said with finality which made Jame's skin crawl. \"Um Jack I'm not sure if you heard what the Captain just said but he gave the all clear. You're to bring the pilot to one of the docking bays. Once there you're free to do as you wish.\" James said to Jack as he turned off the com but left it open if Jack had more to say. \n\n\"So then big boy what's the news or are you still waiting for an answer?

Follow me to one of the hangars.\" Directing the Duel back towards the ship, Jack mentally curses for missing out on all the good stuff.

Puru looked back at him. \"Lieutenant Black Star...those people...they're bad I just know they are. But...I'll trust you. That's what newtypes like us do right?\" Puru asked to Paul who sighed. \"I suppose you're right.\" Paul said as Williams chimed in, \"Sir you're acting a bit hypocritical don't you think?

Once the survivors were gathered she saw them being herded by the crew of the Sundown to be carried to group with Mariemeia's forces. When it looked like the job was done, she docked the Sandrock and turned off the OS to get out of the Gundam.

It wasn't much but they managed to recover some rifles. And they were entertaining the idea of taking the suits apart for spare parts when Reve left. \"Hey Reve are you ok? Vitals signs are reading you're under stress. If you need time to calm down I recommend seeing Doctor Wilbur for some stress relief meds.\" James Axer offered Reve as he popped up on her screen. \"Look I know you see us as the big bad bogey men and all but you're not with Angelo anymore and we don't really need hostility between us.

Gyunei Guss's machine was picked up by two daggers after being made sure the machine was completely disabled and carried off towards the Sundown. When Donna arrived at the ship she was pointed towards Puru who had told her she was going to try and find Paul to talk about what was going on now. \"Ya know I don't really understand much of what just happened but I don't like it either.

She didn't talk to him but she said she suspected that's where he'd be. On the way there however they noticed the new pilot had just gotten into the elevator and was heading towards the meeting room according to the buttons above the elevator. After all why else would they be going to the officer's quarters section of the ship? That must have meant that Jason would be there soon. \"Uh who was that in the elevator?

Of course the fact that they had an arranged marriage didn't help and they never officially swore their vows. \"Lieutenant Lyons sir the Captain wants to speak with you. He'll meet you in the meeting room sir. I'm going to go get Jack but it looked like he was packing it in for a bit so I didn't want to bug the newbie.\" SIGMA Leader said suddenly as he appeared in front of the young lieutenant. It would seem SIGMA was actually willing to acknowledge the younger man as a superior officer in terms of rank without sneering now. Or maybe it's because he just didn't feel like mustering the energy to scoff at him. \"Thank you SIGMA do as you will.\" Paul said nodding at the officer and moved past him.\n\n===\nPaul could remember that day when George and he had first encountered Lao. Paul had been piloting the Raigo for a couple years now. Unfortunately due to circumstances technology related to the Gundam project had stopped and he had only been able to use his flight pack during that time with his others coming in later. George had been piloting Aegis at the time having entered into the military and scored records higher than anyone else of the time period. George no doubt acquired his skills by his father, when the bastard actually stuck around, who was an ace pilot but not in the way you'd think of it he used to pilot fighter planes and jets before even the Mobius was out. He wasn't a career soldier but the story wasn't about that pathetic excuse for a father that George had this was the story of Paul Lyons and George Kyleson. \n\nIt was a wet day in the middle of the rocky mountains and rain was coming down...George and Paul had been out on a patrol having heard reports of the enemy forces of ZAFT intending to make a base in the mountains as a spot to attack DC and the eastern coast of the USA. Gundams were the best choice to wipe out any suits that may be there but people were confused on how GINN's of all things could've gotten into OMNI's central hub. George was as usual not one to judge a book by it's cover and was not all to excited over the news of possible ZAFT agents. \"Hey dude don't worry we got this even if there are ZAFT 'insurgences' here we can handle them. I mean come on we're the two best pilots in OMNI!\" George said snickering as Paul rolled his eyes. His long time friend had still never lost his god damn sense of humor. \"We're on duty you freaking idiot we got to take this seriously if we find anyone or anything we got to be ready!\" Paul told off his friend as the red haired pilot scoffed and laughed harder, \"Paul-Oh I'm sorry Corporal Lyons I'll get right back to being a good soldier like you are.\" George said as Paul ground his teeth together and was tempted to push Aegis into the mud below. \n\nPaul landed heavily in the ground as he looked around. The forest was annoying and made it hard to see things but it did make the area beautiful. The Rockies were the pride of America back in the day and he could see why. He knew he would never be able to claim to well...that was a subject that Paul didn't like to think about. \"I can't believe that the guy we're after is a former OMNI Officer. Scum bag should feel like garbage for betraying his own.\" George grumbled as he landed next to Paul as the two of them moved forward and decided to conserve energy by moving on without their heavy equipment. \"I knew Lao he was always a nut. I don't know how far he goes back with my Captain but he does go quite a ways back. And he's good. One of the former top ranked pilots in OMNI. Period. The man has a shit ton of confirmed kills under his belt.\" Paul muttered as George whistled. \"Sounds like we got a badass over here. Alright don't worry the brothers duo of the gundams Raigo and Aegis will prove together that we can overcome anyone!\" George said smiling as Paul broke his serious attitude and chuckled him. \"God damn it dude we're not a part of a kindergarten class stop acting like a dumbass.\" Paul said to George as the two moved forward...\n\nOf course the story went as Paul and Lao were ambushed by Lao La Lugara Commander of the New ZAFT Coalition after the Four Month War ended and The Fractured Earth War started. Lao was in a new prototype gundam unit produced by ZAFT and was modified to work on Earth by his own hands. Lao...Lao was good. Paul and George fought a machine made to fight in space and still couldn't handle him. The machine was slow while they were fast but Lao predicted the moves of both the boys and parried and dodged. \"Do you children really think you got ANYTHING on me!? Jason should've known better than to pick children to fight me!\" Lao laughed as George futilely tried to get around him only to get shot back at by those modified dragoons. They couldn't work in atmosphere so Lao had set them up so that they could pivot up, down, left, right and forward. Lucky they couldn't hit from behind but Lao was keeping his opponents from getting anywhere near him. Paul in the past was experienced but he was not as good as he was today. He lacked his 'newtype' abilities and his mind set was still that of an upstart pilot looking to prove his worth. George was aggressive pushing hard on Lao but he could only do so much. \"Who the hell do you think you are you punk ass bastard!\" George said parrying a beam slash and then moving in for a kill shot with his additional beam weapons but was shut down as Lao smashed him away with the flick of his beam rifle smashing Aegis with it knocking it off course and missing. He then shot at Paul who was aiming up a shot. It missed and Lao coutinued to play them for fools. In the end Paul would get separated from George but they'd find each other later. George apparently having fought Lao to a standstill...but Paul should've known by the look on his friend's face what had really happened.\n\n====\n\nPuru landed in the hanger bay next to Mask and docked on the bay and when her suit open she burst out of the cockpit and ran over to Mask (be it he was in the cockpit or not). \"Hey Mr. Mask wanna go somewhere and talk or get something to eat?

It admits a signal similar to the one we, Paul and I, were sent to look over which brought us here. We believe these signals are a part of a collective.

But in doing so it may end up trapping us here forever so we need further investigations into the matter.\" Jason said as he coughed and patted his chest and then coughed a couple more times. \"Sorry it's just work has been tiring me out. I'll be fine.\" Jason said as Paul looked at him with concern.\n\n\"Here's the following points we have made:\n\n1. Present location: Nothing in the data we have gives us any indication.

Regarding the signal: Everyone we've encountered has had contact with the signal. For each of them, this was their last memory before appearing here.\n5. More on the signal: The signal is being sent by strange facilities scattered about the area. We have not confirmed if destroying a facility will hinder or help us.\n6. Regarding the facilities: The facilities emit the signal, which we have determined that it resonates a disturbance signal that does something. We've discovered various signals across the landscapes. It's possible that they're self-replicating, so their numbers may be increasing.\n7. Current objective: We have confirmed that the farther we are from the facilities we are the better our coms are. We'll keeping that in mind for the time being. However we will defend them until we have gathered information from them. If they are destroyed abandoning the area is recommended if there is nothing left to defend.\n8. Impediments to completing the objective: enemy forces with unknown goals are protecting the facilities.\nFacilities: Causing a distortion of sorts in the space time.\n\nTheory relating to the facilities:\n\nThe signal comes from all these facilities, and could be resonating to create a vast distortion in space. This place was produced by that distortion possibly. Basically we are in another world in the literal sense. The facilities may be self-replicating. However the replication is not very fast more than likely. The goal is to block the resonance between them for the moment.\n\n1. This world exists in a different space-time\n2. The facilities emit a certain signal which we have confirmed already\n3. This signal causes the distortions.\n\nPlan: We need to take the facilities and hold them until sufficient data is collected then destroy them if it fits the plans we make in the future.", "username": "vancexentan", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Jack listened to the briefing and found that for every question answered, he could think of at least three others.

Jason, old friend, we need you here so you need to get it together. I know saying to stop worrying is futile because we do need to worry. All the same though.\" Wilbur said to Jason as he groaned and grumbled. \"How so Wilbur? How do you expect us to get anything together let alone me with the situation being as it is. Besides I have to do something...we've already lost many good men and women. People who shouldn't be dead are. This place is wrong and with the situation being as it is I doubt we'll be getting anywhere anytime soon. We can only fight and talk and hope we keep finding supplies.\" Jason said bluntly as he only could with Wilbur. The doctor groaned and turned back to him as he adjusted his thick glasses. Jason wasn't saying he was sick of being a leader, or he had given up hope but he was smart enough to now when the odds were stacked like a skyscraper against him. \"That Stella girl could also be a problem. She's a dog indeed. She was made to be one with those Extended enhancements attached to her brain and nervous system. At the price of her life she has gained super human abilities. I thought the project would never get by ever apparently another universe thought otherwise. It sickens me.\" Wilbur growled as he gripped a nearby railing tightly. \"It's not our problem Stella and her condition is. We will solve it in time or we'll deal with it. At least she doesn't need the drugs.\" Jason muttered remembering his past experiences with the project. It was not something he relished or liked to look back on.

The point is we've found them and now we can eliminate them. If you desire tell the Captain that I can eliminate them all by myself. if you want.\" Hiling said as Williams finally answered wondering if she even wanted to get between the two pilots. \"I got it...tracking position now...Jason isn't here but I'd recommend not getting engaged with the enemy as they have unknowns with them. Besides we could use captives to our advantage.\" Williams said as Hiling acknowledged the suggestion and didn't fire knowing she'd get to kill the fools later anyway. Who knows maybe she could find out where Ribbons is at and ditch these clowns. \"Alright I'm returning to base then I need to refuel before we get to the best part.\" Graham said as Williams acknowledged Graham and said that was fine as she'd pinpointed the location and both could head back if desired.", "username": "vancexentan", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Timeskip - Three Hours Later - Sundown\n\nJason had called back all of his teams as Hiling Care and Graham returned and the group prepared to move on the enemy stronghold.

In the middle was some sort of factory sort where apparently the main group was held up at with a big central tank that was probably their center of command. Jason had told who was going with who. Mask and Jack would be together in a group while Paul, Graham, and Stella went and led the attack forces.

And I'll make sure you get out of there alive too Stella. Now where's our adrenaline junkie?\" Paul asked as he turned around to see Graham just coming in. \"Black Star! Oh and Stella too? Heh let's see how you do out there girl. I'm curious to see your real power.\" Graham said to Stella who looked the other way coyly. \"I'm not too good of a fighter.\" Stella said quietly as Graham assured her that he was looking for tenacity not so much as skill. \"One's true worth is shown by how much they're willing to sacrifice to protect those close to them or to show the strength of their conviction.

The suit was in perfect working order and she knew it would be for a while unless it got busted up by another suit. But she wanted to figure out how intelligent these people were actually. Were they competent in other technologies or were they single mindedly attached to their own technology like a human who couldn't use both their hands. \"Hey you there by that gundam.

Alpha units began to ring in saying all of them but Alpha Three were suffering the same problems. \"Damn it if you can't control it then get back to the ship!\" Grant growled as two members of his team fell back to the Sundown and left him with Alpha Three and Five out of his five man squad. \"Damn it I'm counting on you two and you guys as well Lieutenant and Conscript Mask.\" Grant said as he prepared himself to turn the corner and head towards their targets heading forward but as they got moving they noticed little to no resistance.\n\nWith the aid of Donna and crew Paul had managed to hack his way towards the middle of the area. As Paul got there he landed on the ground and looked around. He couldn't help but look at the area around him because it was an ancient ruin with old buildings and what looked like the center of some sort of auditorium in the middle due to there being a few pillars and a circle around it. He also saw that a large looking tank like vehicle was in the middle Paul raised his rifle and ordered the enemy to come out and surrender. A group of SIGMA landed next to him in their Maruasames and transformed back into normal soldiers. However before Paul even got an answer a large set of walls arose from the ground around them and Paul's sensors started screaming at him as it became clear that he was now boxed in the middle of the area with the only entrance left open being the one that should've let Grant's team through the back and as he was consider his option of flying a scrambler started to disrupt their signal however he could still hear James Axer's muffled voice, \"-Magnetic-elds-p-do-ly!\" Axer tried to tell Paul. He could only guess magnetic fields were up meaning he wasn't able to get out of where he was. However he did notice a large laser shoot over his head and he heard a large boom on the other side as he could only assume the Sundown was hit. Paul glanced around and found himself and the members of SIGMA were surrounded by strange sand painted Zaku types. Ambush...of course. They probably saw Hiling or Graham and prepared for it. Though he wondered if it was that or if they were just expecting trouble. Still Paul put his beam saber back into it's holster and a rather bulky mobile suit appeared from a hiding spot nearby. \"I would recommend putting down your weapons and surrendering gundam. I promise you that you will come to no further harm.\" the calm cool voice of a man proclaimed as Paul pulled his beam rifle back up after he put the beam sword back in it's place. The machine was red and orange with white and he got no new-type feeling from this individual. \"I don't make deals with people who attack my ship.\" Paul responded as SIGMA prepared themselves for a fight. \"Don't be a fool you're surrounded and I doubt you can fight me. From what I heard a friend of mine may be fighting with you but for the moment we are enemies. I would prefer to avoid further hostilities. You are a gundam pilot so I can only assume you are a high ranking enemy officer. This is your last chance, surrender or I will be forced to terminate all of you.\" the man said again as Paul simply charged forward without speaking. He didn't need words to deal with this guy he needed action. Paul would never back down to anyone ever.\n\n====\n\nIn fact all around the battlefield there were problems as walls arose in front of and behind of all of the groups. Stella watched in horror as a wall was sealed off in front of her as she tried to smash through it only to find it was resistant to her beam sabers and Beta Leader tried firing his rifle at it too no effect as well. \"We're going to need a bigger gun!\" Beta Leader grumbled as Two warned everyone within ear shot that there was enemies attacking them. A group of units emerged from the walls under a camouflaged paint and also from the sand as the Zaku units started to firing upon them killing Beta three and injuring four as Beta Leader rallied his men to him and Stella turned about to attack the enemies as well. \"I'm not going to die here! I don't want to die!\" Stella cried out as back at the other side of the map Yzak appeared in front of the Commando units as the walls closed around them. \"You're not getting out of here until we kill you all.\" Yzak said to Mask and Grant who prepared themselves for combat. Yzak was in heavy gear this time all of his available weapons patched onto Duel. He was flanked by two elite zaku units and another gundam class suit. The other suit p\n====\nBack at the Sundown the crew shivered as the blast struck their hull as Jason cried out for a status report they said the blow had severely damaged turrets on that side and if not for the heavier armor they had on the Sundown would've blown a hole right through their ship. Jason ordered the Sundown to power up and get out of the firing range of the enemy or at least fine cover. Puru hurriedly looked around and contacted Jason, \"Captain are you alright?!\" Puru asked as Jason told Puru to prepare for ambush units and not about them and assured her that they were fine. \"CAPTAIN orders would be appreciated!\" Nena growled hating having too take orders but unsure about what to do. This was the sort of situation where she normally turned tail and ran but she couldn't do that given the circumstances. Besides Reve was left behind at the citadel. \"I'll move to go and assist Donna's cut off party those fools need the help captain.\" Hiling Care said bluntly as she prepared to make her way to the area at hand. \"Look both of you need to calm down and listen. Hiling I approve of your idea do so. Nena provide covering fire for the Sundown. Puru readings are coming in enemy forces are coming to attack us. Nena's previous shot took out more of them then they expected I bet. You will stay here eliminate any and all enemies. Leave none alive if need be. I can't risk your life trying to obtain captives. I'm sending out auxilaries to bolster our defenses here. I should've kept Reve here but I feared to leave the Twilight Citadel without soldiers. You got your orders move!\" Jason said as all of them proceeded to go and follow the orders given. Luckily Baker had pointed out the jamming was only effective at range so they didn't have to worry about nearby signals being lost. \"Where's Mr. Graham he was in the air wasn't he?\" Puru asked suddenly to Jason as the devil appeared on com, \"I'm good but I'm cut off I can't fly down any further without risking my systems burning out. I'll return to the Sundown-\" Graham started to say before Jason cut him off and told him that he should focus on killing the enemy sniper. \"Huh good point I guess I am in the best position to do that right now. Fine I'm moving to assassinate the enemy sniper.\" Graham said with renewed vigor.\n\n====\nOver by Donna and the others a light pink suit appeared in front of Donna and Beta Leader as the machine unleashed small bits around itself the machine looked at the people below it. \"Pilot of Sandrock this is Fram Nara of Vagan ZAFT Coalition Forces. We're asking you too surrender on behalf of the pilot called Trowa Barton. He is currently at the moment engaging your ace pilot in the gundam suit in the center you were following. Comply and turn on your handlers or face death. I don't want to have to kill the friend of an ally if it can be avoided.\" Fram said as she fired at Beta Leader suddenly but the seasoned soldier blocked it handily with his shield and dodged the oncoming bits with a practiced hand bobbing and weaving. \"Damn her she's lying don't lose focus! EVEN IF SHE ISN'T I'LL NEED YOU'RE HELP TO KILL THIS PERSON! Whoever this Trowa guy is, is he really worth turning your backs on us after helping you the past week!? Donna I have faith in you!\" Beta Leader said hurriedly his main focus was on the enemy pilot who seemed completely at ease trying to kill the slaughter dagger leader as his remaining soldiers were busy just trying to survive. \"Donna please! I know haven't known you for long but I don't want to hurt you! I will if you betray us! So please help us!\" Stella begged as she slashed through and killed two enemy pilots before blowing away three more with her back mounted rifles. \"Are these Earth bound fools really worth your breath?\" Fram questioned Donna. \"Are they worth turning your back on Trowa Barton?\"\n====\n\nSpecific suits:\n\nTank - gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Tray-class\n\nGundam fighting Paul: Trowa Barton - gundam.wikia.com/wiki/XXXG-01H2_Gundam..

He placed the mask back on, but it was still rebooting itself. Mask tore it off in anger and dropped it to his side. \n\"Fine!

Her Sandrock attempted to cut through the walls with the shotels, but it was too tough to be destroyed. Just as she deactivated them, a new pink Mobile Suit appeared. The pilot, a female voice ordered for her surrender supposedly for a Trowa Barton. She can only reply to the pilot. \"This is 1st Lieutenant Donna Lindemann of the Earth Sphere United Nations. I cannot surrender.\" Donna replied. \"I cannot betray my comrades for Trowa Barton. My allegiance is with the Earth Sphere United Nations, Lord Lindemann, Instructor W and the Earth Alliance crew.

But fine I'll cover your ass.\" Grant said frankly as he aimed down his machine gun's barrel and fired shots towards the Zaku units who raised their shields in retaliation and the poor remaining two Beta Units shot down some of the rocks nearby and used them as cover as the Zaku fired Beam Rifles. \"Shit that ain't going to last long at all! Hey Charley you're with me! Get them comfortable then we'll pounce!\" Grant said to his unit as the man acknowledged the order and opened fire the whole small corridor had turned into a blast zone. \n\n\"Damn that suit's got some fire power! But I got you in the speed category!\" Leon Graves said as he back pedaled as soon as he saw the charging suit. Though he got scruffs from Mask's shots the machine still dodged the shots. \"It figures I'd be fighting some guy with a big ego. You guys always are the first ones to die in a fight kid.\" the man said as he shot his beam pistol at Mask. The pistol shots first missed Mask but it soon became apparent that the shots were feint shots and the next few blows smacked Mask's suit in the shoulders. \"My specialty is long range kid you just lost any advantage you had by charging me.\" Leon taunted Mask as Grant shot at Leon forcing him to dodge allowing one of Mask's shots to smash him right in the left arm practically disabling it. \"I got your back so you better make that count. Damn it!\" Grant muttered as he hid back behind his increasingly diminishing cover. \n\n====\n\"I thought the ally of The Preventors would be eager to join them. So be it die like the rest of these Earthling Scum!\" muttered Fram as she activated the diffuse beam cannon on the chest and fired a large shot at Donna. \"You should've known better to refuse when you're in such an archaic suit. Good thing you refused because your machine would just hinder us in the end.\" growled at Donna as suddenly she was forced to dodge out of the way cutting off any more shots as Stella fired his beam rifles at her. \"I don't care who you think you are I won't let you hurt my allies!\" Stella said shaking as she tried to fight off the feelings inside of her. Fear was something she had struggled with all her life. Shinn had helped her overcome a lot of it...but...she still didn't want to kill anyone. \"I'm still alive Donna take on the enemy grunts! My men got your back watch out for the bits though!\" Beta Leader barked as he shot one down as his suit started to show some damage as his shield became dented due to repeated blocks with it. The mere fact that he was still alive when facing down the bits was all the more impressive and spoke about his skill. More over he actually had managed to destroy one. He had nearly died in the process but he managed to get them down. \"I'm too old for this shit...\" he muttered as his allies shot a scattering shot missile destroying two more leaving two but the Beta Soldier was soon shot down for his effort though it didn't appear to be a fatal blow. \"Damn you Fram! I'll kill you for this!\" the enemy opened fire all around them as the remaining Beta units scrambled to fight back ducking under debris nearby or otherwise being forced to hide behind their shield. However most of the aggro was focused on Sandrock as the Zakus fired at the gundam furiously. \"You can't destroy and X-rounder scum!\" Fram growled at Stella as Stella retorted, \"I don't need to destroy you I just need to kill you!\" Stella changed back into gundam mode and took flight in the air as Gaia and the Fawn Farsia began their battle.\n===\n\nPaul vs. Trowa \nSigma was the first one to make a move hey flew up into the air in a coordinated formation covering each other while making the Zaku focus on them instead of Paul. SIGMA Leader had insisted they buy their Lieutenant enough time to wipe out the enemy mobile suit. If the enemy ace was destroyed them all of them should fall soon after. After all unless Raigo's power core drained out quick they would be no match for the mobile suit. However they themselves found themselves in quite the predicament as there were too many Zaku too truly be able to hold their own for long. \n\nPaul on the other hand flew forward his shield straight up covering his suit, as Trowa stood his ground and pulled up his chain gun and opened fire upon the charging gundam. Too Paul's surprise the Gatling gun was actually a god damn beam based weapon. Paul felt his shield take the shots he and could only hope to god that his shield would hold. Paul's newtype senses and his natural abilities kicked into high gear as Paul's concentration narrowed he focused on Trowa while dodging incoming shots from the few zaku left fighting him. He quickly let lose a beam rifle shot that smacked pin point dead center into the enemy zaku. \"You're pretty fast but in the end it won't matter.\" Trowa said calmly as Paul neglected to respond his mind focused on survival he didn't want to give an inch to this pilot and he needed to get his men out of this trap alive. He had no intention on letting his brothers and sisters in arms down. He never had before and he never intend too start now. \n\nPaul fired at Trowa who easily dodged the attacks while keeping his own line of fire going. \"Impressive I have to admit not many people can do what you just did. It looks like I'm going to have to work for this victory.\" Trowa stated as Paul once again refused to decline. \n===\n\n\"Damn it the shot didn't go through? Fine I'll make the next one count then!\" grumbled Aida as she prepared to take another shot at the massive ship. Normally her anti-ship rifle would be able to take down a ship that big easy but it seemed the ship had more heavy armor than she had accounted for. Taking down the ship would take a few more shots at most. She prepared to fire again aiming down her mobile suit's sights as suddenly she was shot from above by some sort of jet fighter. \"What the hell!?\" Aida grumbled as her suit shivered from the blows and she jumped backwards. \"You know if there's one thing I hate more than a dirty coward it's a sniper. A true soldier fights head on and isn't afraid to fight!\" Graham growled as he flew in towards the enemy pilot unleashing another barrage of shots from his suit as Aida forced her suit backwards dropping the anti-ship rifle and pulling out her beam rifle only for a missile to blow the thing to pieces and smashing the suit into the ground. \"Damn it you again!?\" growled at Aker as she fired her head vulcans at him in retaliation only to have Graham easily spin his Flag out of the way to dodge. \"Is this all you got!? I'm disappointed you don't deserve to pilot that suit!\"\n\n===\nPilot with Yzak\n\ngundam.wikia.com/wiki/PMC-1L_Arms_Astr..\n\nLeon Graves is it's pilot.", "username": "vancexentan", "char_name": null }, { "text": "As the area became clouded, Jack grunted and fired off a series of shots in the other Duel's direction before switching to his beam saber and igniting it. \"You ever wonder why anyone would shoot missiles at a Gundam equipped to counter them?\" He was now in Yzak's sight, his shield between him and the other Duel and coming from the left of the other Duel. \"It makes their opponent over confident!\" Closing, he made an expert slash towards one of the arms.", "username": "Zarkun", "char_name": null } ]

The Gundam pilot was nearly caught off-guard when a Zaku tried to charge at her, but she was able to react so the shotel sliced the Mobile Suit to the left. She brought attention to the mound of Mobile Suits firing at her and decided she will fight them next. Shooting at the Sandrock proved to be futile as it wiped them out instantly with a single stroke. \"Please tell Mr. Trowa once again that I cannot accept his offer.\" She said to Fram once again. \"I cannot accept in a circumstance like this. I regret that we had to meet like this.\"", "username": "Sugihito", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"Go to-Ah! Damn it!\" Fram responded as her mobile suit was shot in the shoulder by Stella who proceeded to open up as much rifle fire as possible onto Fram.\"I'm not going to die here....I'm not going to die here!\" Stella said starting to panic even though the situation was starting to improve in their favor. The remaining members of Beta Team rallied on their leader though they had lost a couple of their members they had taken out more than their fair share of the opposition while the aggro was focused on Sandrock. The suit's armor had relegated the useless shots fired by the zaku to peashooter shots. \"Damn it! I've had enough of this!\" Beta Leader growled as he grabbed a fallen bazooka and fired on the walls collapsing a whole side of the ruins ontop of a quarter of the remaining zaku who were too slow too dodge or were otherwise preoccupied. The remaining zaku started to route at the sight of their ace pilot being defeated by an enemy gundam. They themselves were quickly realizing their own weapons were useless on the Sandrock. They couldn't even radio their commander for assistance due to the jamming. What was supposed to be a quick and effective ambush quickly turned into what amounted to a butchery on the wrong side. \"Who are you people!? Why are you so strong!?\" one of the younger enemy pilots shouted as he fell back only to be shot in the back by Beta Leader. \"Worthless...absolutely worthless...\" Beta Leader growled in disgust. He had lost his men to these people!? His long time friends and allies!? They were running after THEY pulled off an ambush!? ZAFT....Zeon...it seemed everyone was pulled from the same damnable cloth. At least those Earth Feds the previous day had put up a fight. These cowards had killed numerous comrades in arms. They had forced him to do bury his own men...it wasn't something he enjoyed doing ever...no man should ever have to bury their friends before their time. But they were soldiers they knew the risks but that didn't ease their passing. A brazen Zaku tried to ambush Donna from behind but Beta Leader shot a beam axe out of his hand and then shot the enemy down swiftly.\n====\nYzak dropped his beam saber as the full force of the blow delivered by Jack's suit he hadn't been expecting that he had been waiting for the idiot to charge at him so he could parry and cut him to ribbons. The following shots from the CIWS from Jack just served to annoy Yzak even more as the mobile suit shrugged off the shots even they there were close Phase Shift nullified any advantage that gave to Jack. \"You want to fight up close!? Fine!\" Yzak shouted as he reached up and grabbed the neck of Jack's duel and started to slowly strange the machine's main camera. \"If you know jack about our suit then you know that once you lose that camera it's over you piece of trash!\"\n\n====\n\nGraham had control of his fight against the enemy sniper it wasn't even much of a challenge even with the advancements in her suit in comparison to his. It had actually made Graham Aker somewhat angry. If this girl had taken a shot at his allies and had this level of skill then it only proved the point that children didn't belong on a real battlefield. This whole situation was one whole debacle that he didn't think he'd ever see happen. He saw the burst of light coming from the ruins out of the corner of his eye during a U-Turn dodge and from experience he knew that meant that one gundam the one they called Virtue had opened fire. Nena Trinity that little sociopath hopefully she didn't kill any of their allies in that shot. The suit flailed and shot wildly at him in an attempt to get a lucky shot in at Graham but the Flag in his hands was too fast and too random to actually land a good hit on. \"What is a girl like you doing on this battlefield? You have no right being here if this is all you have! Where's your warrior's pride!?\" Graham demanded of the sniper who responded that she didn't even want to be here in the first place and she didn't need to answer to him and that she'd do her best to get back to her friends.

OK, this isn't safe to draw out. Gotta wrap it up and soon or they'll be burying me after today's fights. Stepping back, he raises his saber. \"I'm going to tell you now, I don't intend to capture you, Yzak. I'm going to see you dead here to help whatever universe you're from win their war.

The Gundam pilot brought her attention back to the battle where Fram was facing defeat against Stella. \"Stella, please keep a hold of yourself! We will survive this together!\" Seeing the bleakness of the battle for them, she hoped that Fram will call for a retreat.

[ { "text": "\"Shit! Damn it!\" Yzak said growling as suddenly the hulking presence of Hiling Care came into the area. Grant and his comrades charged forward after seeing the zaku's temporarily distracted by their enemies and then proceeded to shoot the weapons out of their hands. The enemy zaku however were quick to recover and pulled out their axes one of them threw a grenade which forced Grant's team to fall back. Hiling however didn't move to assist as she went up to Jack. \"I'd recommend going to help them. Unless you want to explain to Captain Jason how you somehow managed to both wreck priceless replacement parts for your gundam, killed a high ranking enemy pilot who could be captured, AND left your allies to die all in one fell swoop. I got this.\" Hiling said aiming her main rifle at the enemy gundam pilot. \"Time's wasting...\" Hiling said with a smug grin and tone. She clearly was egging on Jack one way or another Hiling would get what she wanted in this situation leaving Jack in a rather awkward situation. \"I'm not some god damn toy for you fuckers!\" growled Yzak as he tried to move only for Hiling to claw off the top of Duel's right hand. Beam claws tore through the metal of the phase shift with a loud bang. \"And you...You better fucking sit down.\" commented Hiling with disgust as Yzak sat there unable to do anything under the watchful eye of both units.\n\n===\n\"I don't care who you are, I'm not so easy to kill!\" Leon Graves proclaimed as he took out his laser torch and quickly attempted to slice the enemy mobile suit in half. It was clear that his mobile suit was getting nowhere with this suit and he had one last chance to beat this guy. He could try running away but he had let a careless mistake cost him that chance. He didn't expect this unit's pilot to be so talented and he had let this man get the advantage of him. \"Look kid you can have all the pride you want but it's meaningless if you don't know how to use it!\"\n\n====\n\n\"But...but this is a battle...this girl is threatening my life! She's already killed members of our team why should I calm down!?\" Stella said with a hesitation in her voice and it was clear that she herself was unsure about what she was talking about. Stella was distracted now unsure about how to proceed unable to get it straight in her head as she was shot from behind by an enemy zaku unit as Beta Leader cursed loudly. \"DAMN IT! Stella calm down and wipe out those who are our enemies! Just don't go overboard!\" Beta Leader said as he simply gunned at the enemy opposition as Nena shot out another wave at the wall the separated Paul from the rest of the group. \"This is getting embarrassing and complicated all forces fall back I don't care what Barton says!\" Fram muttered with disgust as she pulled back using all her remaining weapons to keep Sandrock and the others down while Stella stood there shivering unable to do much other than dodge. The remaining handful of Zaku started to pull back in an uncoordinated rush as the enemy forces from the center were unsure about what was going on. They had been in a heated fire fight with SIGMA whom had done an excellent job of keeping the enemies off Paul and staying alive. \"Mr. Barton the walls are breached!\" shouted one of the enemies as Trowa sighed, \"So be it...I will finish this one off quicker...\" Trowa said with an abnormally calm tone.\n\n====\n\nPaul didn't waste much time he charged forward his beam saber in hand as he at the ready as he came closer to Trowa. He barely noticed the explosive blast behind him his Newtype senses shouting at him that it was happening on barely registered. His ally, SIGMA Leader, was asking for orders Paul gave him a simple one, \"Capture or kill them I don't care which.\" Paul muttered intensely as he focus on Barton became acute not allowing him to think of anything else. He didn't hate the enemy gundam pilot nor did he have anything against him personally however he was the last piece in the puzzle. That tank that was the main goal was probably a diversion at this point. It hadn't moved since he arrived it was probably empty. He felt sweat drip down his brown as he continued to dodge Barton's barrage. Those he couldn't he deflected or blocked. Barton was on point but at this point he saw that Barton was now in a bad situation. His allies were dying around him and Paul's men were on the attack again. They shouldn't have let him of all people into this place. Maybe Donna or Nena would've had trouble but not him. Their suits weren't as versatile as Paul or Gabriel when he was still with them. Paul had skill bound by his dedication to his cause and his vengeance for the fallen and dead friends of the past still not quenched. Trowa notice that his weapons were no longer effective and with Paul gaining on him he had no choice but too call on his men to disable the magnetic field generators they had running in order to allow everyone to flee. Even though Barton felt they could still make a comeback it was clear this situation was getting out of hand. He tried to contact Aida only to get the response that she was in trouble. But before Trowa could do much or even get out a word he was forced into a defensive position his combat knife out as he blocked the heavy swing by Paul. \"It would seem that I've been forced into quite the situation. But I'm not so easily displaced.\" Trowa said sternly as he kept his cool and easily managed to parry Paul but Paul came back quick and pressed his advantage on Trowa. \"You're nothing but a coward who relies on heavy weapons! What kind of soldier doesn't have a back up plan!?\" Paul demanded of Trowa who opened up his chest cannons again and riddled Paul's already dwindling power supply to an even lower level forcing Paul to back off as Trowa turned around to flee. Paul grabbed a nearby rifle dropped by a zaku and opened fire but Trowa managed to dodge even though he was dented by the enemy's fire. \"I'm afraid neither of us has time to waste here. I will concede to you this battle but I will not lose again if we meet again gundam pilot.\" Paul could only watch as Trowa fled the scene. He growled as he turned his back to Trowa and went to aid Sigma in eliminating the enemy grunts left. Paul could chase him, he could've went after him. But it would cost him too much and with his power battery so low after absorbing so much fire from the guy he needed to get his suit repaired and soon.

I wish I could say the same for our men. I hope the Sundown is fine it probably got ambushed too.\" Beta Leader said sighing in disbelief as he looked over to the crushed remnants of the slaughter daggers which contained the most likely dead bodies of his men. No one could've survived that without being really lucky. Sneak attacks with beam weapons are incredibly potent. \"We don't got the fire power to engage them we have to let them go. Reunite with Lieutenant Black Star and Sigma!\" Beta Leader ordered as suddenly SIGMA 4 landed down heavily in front of them. \"The rest of my team is routing the enemies. Middle section cleared. There appears to be a signal similar to the one from the Citadel emanating from a pillar in the middle sir. I don't know what to think about it. We received it when they stopped their jamming. I still detect GN particles meaning Hiling Care is still alive.\" SIGMA 4 informed Beta Leader who grunted as he considered everything Nena jumped in however interrupting the thought. \"Come on don't be a kill joy let me keep fighting these punks!\" Nena demanded of Beta who told her to do as she pleased which prompted Nena to launch forward towards the enemy whom were retreating. \"We'll stop her later for now we got to control Stella and report our finding to Captain Jason.\" Beta ordered as he and his men launched forward towards the place where Paul was now skirmishing with the enemy parrying and killing one zaku who foolishly challenged the gundam. \n\n====\n\n\"You're presuming to tell me what to do!? How dare you command me you filthy hu-fool! I should kill him right now just to spite you! Too bad you have other problems...\" Hiling growled and then smirked as a zaku unit whom Jameson thought he had handled came from behind slamming a knife into the back of Duel Gundam as Hiling grabbed onto Yzak and pulled him into the sky. \"I'll be taking this ...thing now if you don't mind. Oh wait I don't especially care if you do.\" Hiling said with amusement as Grant came in with a explanation\"Fucking hate that woman! Sorry I let that one get away take care of him we got his partner!\".

Inevitable but all the same...sorry for your loss leader.\" Graham said to Beta as he grunted in acknowledgement.

I'm no psychologist hell people usually complain I'm the unstable one. Especially on the Sundown. Stella's probably just not too fond of combat either that or something about this freaking place is making her unstable. Either way she's going to have to deal with it how she will.\" Nena responded to Donna as Graham looked over the scene. \"Hey Stella do you got any companions who usually fight with you?\" Graham asked as Stella gave a muffled confirmation that she indeed had a group she usually fought with. \"It could be that not fighting with them is causing her to panic too. I don't like not fighting without my own allies but I'm not Stella. As for Puru...well if I know Puru like I think I do then she just doesn't think about it.

Jason wanted answers and prisoners not corpses. Paul hasn't commented on it since but I got the feeling he doesn't like the outcome. Nena was press ganged into the crew afterwards.

Hiling is the quagmire here. She hasn't explained as much as we'd like. Personally I want to think we can trust her but I don't think we can.\" Grant explained to Jack as they neared the Sundown coming across a mass of destroyed suits and scrap metal. In the middle of all of it there sat Puru. \"Oh hey you're back! HEY GRANT! HEY JACK! These guys were trying to take the Sundown out but they weren't any match for me!\" Puru said as she appeared on their screens and smiled happily at the two of them. \"Oh wow you guys look worn out you ok?\" Puru asked worriedly at the sight of Grant's expression as Grant lightened up slightly,\"It takes a lot more than that to kill me.

Paul knew that Puru was strong but this...this wasn't something he had come to expect at ALL. Regardless he stopped and looked back too see Stella and company were limping back towards the Sundown. \"Hey you three alright?\" Paul asked his gut telling him something was off. \"I'm...I'm sorry Lieutenant...I lost control of myself.\" Stella said quietly as Paul sighed and nodded. \"It happens but you could've gotten people killed out there.

As a Lieutenant I must be aware myself that death is just a part of war. Betrayal on the other hand is something I cannot forgive personally. I knew a man who was very dear to me. He was my brother. We grew up together, fought the same bullies together, ate together, slept in the same bunk room together, hell he was even chosen to pilot one of the gundams my father made. George Kyleson was his name and as far as I'm aware he is alive somewhere. I want to make him pay for what he's done to me...sorry I kind of went off a person tangent there. I usually keep that story buried in my dirty laundry but knowing some of my finest brothers are dead reminds me of that fateful day in London.\" Paul said apologizing for his sudden rupture in protocol he didn't honestly mean to tell her what he just did it just sort of felt like it needed to come out. He could only hope that the info he did spill didn't change anything. \"But yeah Stella should be in the medical bay just about now along with the rest of the soldiers who may or may not be injured. I'll come with you just in case.\" Paul said as he pressed the button to bring them down into the floor for the medical crew. Paul hoped he wouldn't be intruding on Doctor Wilbur. Wilbur had a lot of stuff to do as it was he didn't need to add to that mess. As they entered the floor Wilbur's staff directed them right towards Wilbur who in fact was helping Stella. There weren't many soldiers down in the medical bay but a few of them were suffering from heat stroke it seemed. Well...they were in a desert. Another few were treated for burns probably due to that one sniper shot that hit the ship's armor super heated an area and Jason had the men go into check. They'd be fine of course the crew on this ship knew their stuff. \n\nPaul went up to Wilbur and saluted him the man nodded at him but was busy chalking notes down on his notepad. \"Fucking hell...of course there was another universe where Extended existed. And more over of course there was one that made a higher grade level of Extended. I thought that she was like the ones we had but it turns out Stella is a bit more advanced than that. She doesn't need the serum. Though I wonder if the dose I'm giving her is causing more harm than good. It could be the wrong sort of thing for a patient like this. I don't know I'll just have to figure something out.\" Wilbur growled as he looked down to Stella who was breathing in deeply and slowly her eyes looking around nervously twitching. \"Of course there's a problem...don't worry sir I have the up most confidence in you.

The more I can find out about Trinity and that other girl Reve the more I can understand how to take them out when this is all over. We will be going back to our own timelines or universes or whatever be it. I'm sure my own timeline may be different than either of those two.

He had never been a heavy drinker, and often avoided using alcohol to \"treat\" his problems, but he wanted something to take the edge off of the stress this night had brought him.\n\nSsarak lost track of time as he sat alone with his thoughts, and the alcohol was having at least some effect on him by the time he noticed Leith in the dining hall sitting next to a human woman.

He stood up and started to walk over towards his roommate just as he heard someone enter the room and start yelling.

Had these things been trained men, Darius would have been sorely outmatched. They were still going to be challenging, but he could do challenging. The one in the lead attacked without any anticipation, a savage overhead strike that he easily side-stepped. The second one crashed into the first and they went tumbling down in a heap. He frowned. Maybe not as challenging as he had thought. The third one ran past the first two and charged him. \n\nThe creature swung its arm back in preparation of an attack, but it never made it. Darius swung his sword into the creature's neck, nearly decapitating it with the swing. He tore his sword free and turned to the other two that had gotten up and were making their way towards him. When they were halfway to him, they flinched and squealed as flash of light lit the area. At Ssarak's statement, Darius took a deep breath, then ran forward and decapitated one of the creatures with one swing. He ducked under a swipe that was aimed for his head, and shoulder checked the last one, knocking it to the ground. He cleaved into its head as it was scrambling to its feet. \n\nAfter regaining control of his breathing, Darius watched as Alaira sprinted after something. She could either be chasing after shadows, or it could be the one who released these creatures. Speaking of. Darius walked over towards the last creature, which was crawling towards him, and quickly dispatched it. It was a good thing that there wasn't any more. Quickly dispatching the two creatures were taking its toll on him. His body was starting to ache. He must have gotten close to over exerting himself. With a sigh, he kept an eye out, watching for anything of interest. \n\n\n\n---\n\n\n\nLeith watched in horror as the elf screamed. He looked at his hand.

She certainly had the potential to be a productive and helpful ally, but only if she could learn temperance in her actions. Ssarak nodded his head, but before they took their leave, he gave one final comment. \n\n\"Very well, and thank you, but you should be cautious with Alaira. She is an excellent fighter, but she is not an excellent warrior. Her skills will serve her well in one-on-one duels, or perhaps against a small group, depending on the skill of the enemy, but for anything more, she will be a liability. Her judgment could break allied formations, or otherwise give the enemy opportunities to exploit. If she were a warrior of my clan, she would not be allowed on the battlefield. Her skill in the mechanics of fighting is great, true, but if she is ever in a position that places the lives of others in her hands, she may very well get them killed. She needs more training, but, well, you saw her reaction towards me. It will have to be another who persuades her.\" Ssarak warned. \n\nAs Ssarak was about to leave the office, he noticed Lyn's basket still on the floor. Evidently, Alaira had taken her away before she could grab it. He notified Lucilia that he would take it to her, then left with Meirin.

After the stress they had been through over the past few days, it was calming to know that he had more responsibilities ahead of him for time being. At least, nothing aside from the daily routine. \n\n\"I suppose that went as well as it could have. Satori will bring forward word of Lucilia's transgressions in regards to Lyn, and hopefully, Lucilia will still heed our warning on Alaira.

With all of that out of the way...I am looking forward to being able to spend time with you, without all of the stress and danger looming over us. Right now, I would like to bring this basket to Lyn, and perhaps do a favor for her as well. I was speaking to Lyn before, as you likely gathered. She is very developed for her age, her mind even moreso than her body. She has been worried about the depression plaguing her mother recently, and wants to talk to her. It is something she has never been able to do before, and I would like to help her. You do not have to come if you do not wish to, of course, but I would be happy to have you along.

The Alpha had fallen back, hard, upon all fours to react against Deven and pivot on his left arm to bring him to the knight's side which was likely to be exposed by the swing. A fresh, red gash streaked his black and white coat causing the animal to snarl.

Otherwise, he would find it difficult to remain upright even with the power he put into the propelling attack. \n\nThe knight's armor was frustrating to the beast.

Either the man was quiet the weirdo, or he had an ulterior motive. But than again, who doesn't?\n\n**\"Hello. You approach Tyrael Marchosias. Are you lost?\"**As the man drew nearer his stench grew stronger, as well as his appearance. The man was obviously a fighter of some sort, decked in dark armor with a large dagger sitting on his waist. But Tyrael can smell the other blades hidden on his person, at least three more or so. This man must have been quite a skilled fighter, and a dirty one at that. It did, in a way, concern Tyrael, but mostly because he had Mar to take into consideration, as well as the wood elf he carried in his arms.\n\nLucilia Riovas\n\n**\"You needn't worry about me, Archmage.\"**A swarm of bats swooped down from the skies. Thousands upon thousands of crimson bats swarmed into a location, before gathering into one egg-shape orb. When it seemed like the entire swarm had gathered into place, they dispersed, first revealing the top of a parasol. Than when that moved up, it revealed Lucilia. She wasted no time introducing herself.**\"Greetings, students. I am Lucilia Riovas, Master Alchemist as well as Herbamancy Professor. And for those curious about my display, I am indeed a vampire.\"**She smiled quietly as she let that last fact sink into some students. Most didn't show any reactions, though from the whispers there was concern. She knew this, and it made her smile knowing that some still feared vampires as though they were children scared of the monsters under their beds.**\"If you will follow me, our first stop will be the alchemical gardens. Do be careful and do not touch anything. While many of the plants are harmless in their natural state, the more volatile ones blend in like a snake hidden under a rose.\"**As soon as she appeared, Lucilia was already making her way towards the gardens, with a small crowd of students behind her.\n\nAnnabeth Gulch\n\nAnnabeth took note of what Khan had told her.***\"Alright, just talk to a gargoyle during the day, shouldn't-\"***And just than, she arrived. Bats flew in from the skies and converged onto a point, and from that point came a woman with white hair and deep red eyes. Annabeth was awestruck, but came to her senses when she called herself Lucilia. She was the one that Annabeth was looking for. She nearly blurted out for the vampire before Lucilia made her introduction, as as quickly as she arrived, she left to lead a tour of students. Annabeth was half-tempted to simply follow her and try to prod her with questions, but she managed to stay still long enough to realize this was not the time. Lucilia had to led these students on a tour, and she probably didn't have time to help Annabeth resolve her family problems right now. As much as she didn't like it, Annabeth would need to wait for the right time.\n\nIn the meantime, there was other things Annabeth could do. Going on a tour was one thing, but who should she go with? It would be too tempting to bombard Lucilia with questions if she went with her. The other option was the pink-haired woman, and the rather macabre looking man. If memory served correctly, they were called Lidda and Uicle respectively. Curiosity got the better of Annabeth, and she decided to group with the one known as Uicle. She was curios as to what he did here. No doubt he was a necromancer of some sort, and while she didn't really like the undead, she admittedly had a one-sided view on them.", "username": "Lucius Cypher", "char_name": "Tyrael Marchosias (His current alias), Karnage Urabrask Vorinclex (His true full name), Master Demonology Professor (College Title), Forge Master (Occupation Title)" } ]

He wondered about her origins; it seemed from what she was saying that she had never spoken to many Esyire before. He did his best to give her a reassuring expression and tone as he spoke. \"I was born with the same blood as my father, and it was he who gave me my first basic lessons in its use. Unfortunately, he died early in my life, and Lues mageblood was a rarity in my village. He did set me on the path to be able to teach myself, but I fear I did not get too far on my own. My own training as a warrior often took precedence, but now that I am here, I can set myself on the path of learning once more.\"\n\n\"As for your question on the Scorched Lands, even I must admit they are not the most hospitable place in the world, but they were my home. It is hot year-round, and the intense radiation prevents anything that is not adapted to survive it from living there. My own village was a small and remote, and moved with the volcanically changing lands. We were all a part of clan Dyre, which encompasses a number of villages in the Scorched Lands. There is little that can grow there, and the creatures are deadly, so our hunters were required to be very skilled. Overall, it is a landscape that breeds strength in its people, as only the strongest can survive. The city of Felldor is not nearly as dangerous, though I am afraid I cannot give too much of a perspective on it, as I have only been to it on a few brief visits. It is a massive place built of dark volcanic rock, which houses the Head Chieftain of the clans. It is built on the most stable land area in the Scorched Lands, and as such is probably the safest place in the entire region. All clans recognize it as the hub of our people, and even if conflict arises between the clans, none would care cause trouble within its walls. Any trade from outside of the Scorched lands invariably goes to Felldor, and it represents a mixing of the cultures of all clans. Even if I preferred life in my home village, I had to admire it when I visited.\" Ssarak explained, trying to give as good of an overview of the region as he could. There were many more details he could give, but he did not want to overwhelm her with his initial explanation. \"What about yourself? Where are you from?

One: I'm always carrying this staff.\" He held up his staff to emphasize his point. \"Two, I have the worst luck in the history of Tien. Three, I wear my armor all the time. Don't ask about the first and get used to the second, and we'll get along fine. As for the third, I assure you it's not by personal choice, and the less you know the better.\" Which was an understatement, really. Aarem might decide to make a curious individual's life miserable. Maybe not as long as he had Uicle's, but long enough that Uicle would know it wasn't casual bad luck, and know that he caused it. Which was irritating, to say the least. Greg gave an impatient sounding metallic bark, drawing Uicle's attention to him. Chuckling, he added, \"And this is Greg, who is with me most of the time, when he's not causing mischief for the rest of the College.\" Greg looked unabashed by the accusation. In fact, some might say he was proud.\n\n\"Well, follow me then. First stop is the Forge. A piece of advice, don't touch anything unless Tyrael, the Demonomancy teacher, says you can.\" On the way to the Forge, Uicle's words about his luck proved true. A small piece of the walls came loose, hitting him on the shoulder. When he tried to open the door to the forge, the handle came straight off, and as soon as he walked in, a hammer flew from a smith's hand and struck him in the face.

[ { "text": "Ssarak did not immediately follow along with Satori, as Alaira seemed to be getting worse. She collapsed to the ground and screamed out in pain, something that certainly caused Ssarak to become afraid for her safety. What was going on, was Satori causing this? She had already caused a great deal of pain for the majority of the students at the college, himself included, so it did not seem outside of her character. Ssarak was beginning to see Satori as more unstable and dangerous seemingly every time she did anything.\n\nCrouching down next to Alaira, he quickly looked over the Forest Elf and saw that, fortunately, she was still breathing, though obviously unconscious. He looked up at Satori as she walked away with a mix of confusion and distrust. Ultimately, he knew he was powerless to do anything she did not want him to do. Even if he was not completely exhausted, she was a master Psychomancer. Regardless, who would he be if he did not at least attempt to do the right thing?\n\n\"She seems to be unconscious. I cannot simply leave her here in good conscious.\" As Ssarak stood up, he picked Alaira up off of the ground, allowing his axe to rest between her and his arms, though he was careful to keep its sharp edges away from her. Between Alaira, her belongings, and his axe, Ssarak was lifting a good deal of weight, which was no easy task in his current state.

Also a minor timeskip.[/b]\n\nContinuously, as the two of them made their way unsteadily towards their room, Althalus found his gaze returning to the pretty Naga helping him stand and walk. It wasn't that there was not anything else interesting to look at in the world around them(For example, there was the remarkably blue sky, the shiny windows, and even neat statues.), it was that he found her the most interesting(certainly the most beautiful), thing in the courtyard. For now, however, he was content to gaze at her.\n\nThe act of entering her, strangely familiar, room proved to be a feat far surpassing their skills at balance. Within two short steps, Althalus lost his balance and began falling forward. Mar's balance wasn't any better, and she fell with him. They rolled and tumbled down the tunnel, Althalus chuckling the whole way down, finally coming to a stop with a thump. Althalus pinned to the ground with Mar ontop of his chest, admiring the way the light source shone off of various things with a smile on his face. Including her. Especially her.\n\n\"Hahaha...\"Mar giggled as dirt went flying from their rough entrance within the burrow like doorway, the sides clearly became wider afterwards.\n\nHer tail had wrapped about the pair while her arms were planted on either side of the man's head, her head lowered to touch their foreheads together. She bite her lips, trying to keep the giggles down but failed epically, instead the sounds turned into soft snickers which became outright laughing. It echoed throughout the room's insides and back to her, the Naga's body rolled to where she laid on his arm. Her head rested upon his chest, still tried to cease if only to ease her aching sides. Slowly Mar's breath was gone until she couldnt keep up the mirthful noises anymore.\n\n\"You're funny...\" She commented then looked up to his face.\n\nAlthalus soon joined Mar in her laughter. It had begun quietly, while her pretty brown eyes were only inches from his own. He didn't try to keep it in, even if he had only a small idea of what exactly was so funny. Laughing for the sake of laughter was good enough for him. For a few moments after they both stopped, nothing could be heard but the sound of heavy breathing as they both tried to regain their breath. His arm was on her shoulders, holding her to him. For laying on the ground after rolling down a small incline, it was strangely comfortable.\n\nHe glanced down at her comment, smiling. He didn't know how exactly she came about that conclusion, but he didn't care. \"And you, are very beautiful. Has anyone ever told you that?\"\n\n\"No... but I like it when you did.\" She edged closer to his face.\n\nHer eyes suddenly sank into his, a small flicker of delight crept over her face as she realized, slowly, that she wanted to kiss him. Why not? She asked herself, unable to find or care for a reason not to. Her hand reached out to cup his jawline while her face pulled up, lip locking him in a full fledge kiss. Her head sudden collapsed into a numbing but plesant experience, one she found herself unable to get enough of. Any air left in her lungs was gone causing her to release the extend spell from the kiss with a surprised look and heavy gasp.\n\nAlthalus's smile grew wider, more pleased, when she responded. Good. He wanted to make her happy. He was about to say something in response, when she suddenly cupped his jawline and kissed him. His eyes popped wide in minor surprise for about a second, before he returned the kiss, his arm tightening around her to bring her closer, head being filled iwth a strange new feeling. Though, that may have just been the lack oxygen.\n\nAs the two of them broke apart, he stared at her, a new glint in his eyes. He smiled slightly to see her surprise, before leaning in and whispering \"Why stop?\" And then he kissed her.\n\nAfter that, both were too...occupied for talking.\n\n~~~~~~\n\nA few hours later. (Late afternoon)\n\nMar was shaking. Her body covered in a cold sweat while the fever raged through out her skin, making it hot to the touch as Althalus would notice. Her arm slung over his naked chest and her tail coiled about his lower half, her head buried within his side would be what woke him. Her tail couldn't even constrict as each time it did, the coils jerked and twitched badly enough to release. White colored her skin and gave it a sickly color from the infection's presence.\n\nAlthalus became immediately aware of three things when he awoke: he was naked with Mar, she was shaking, and she was burning up. The latter two took precedence in what he reacted to, but the first one was no small amount of surprise either. Or rather, the more he remembered, the more he reminded himself to thank the Esyire later. He untangled himself from the shaking Naga, saying, \"Alright, this isn't exactly how I planned to get you to see common sense, but this works. I'm taking you to the healer or Alchemist or whomever. You're in bad shape.\"\n\nWith that, he began collecting and throwing on his clothes, leaving the armor and weapons where they were. Speed was more important than protection. Soon he was presentable enough that the only thing people would give them looks for was the sick Naga he was going to be carrying, which meant, he had a pair of pants on. Walking over, he gave a concerned glance at the wound in her arm. It had only gotten worse, far worse. A bright, angry, red it was badly swollen, and leaked a nasty looking fluid.\n\nGlancing between Mar and the exit to their room, he sighed. \"You could have had a normal door. Then I wouldn't have to drag you..\" With that, he slung her uninjured arm over his shoulders and began the lengthy process of dragging a sick Naga up an incline to a healer.", "username": "Rtron", "char_name": "Althalus Marik" } ]

After all, with how far along Mar's pregnancy was, she was certainly not in peak physical condition and might realize the risks involved with lashing out at someone. Regardless, Ssarak still did not wish to offend her. The Nagas' customs were entirely alien to both Human and Esyire cultures, so neither he nor Annabeth had any real idea of what expectations they had for social interaction. Perhaps he would be able to convince Annabeth to present the gifts to Althalus, instead of Mar? He was Human, and much more friendly and approachable than Mar. Allowing him to take the gifts would serve the same purpose with less risk.\n\nJust as Ssarak was about to speak up, Annabeth rounded the corner at the same time as another individual, who ended up falling to the ground as a result of the impact. Upon closer inspection, Ssarak saw that it was his roommate, Leith.

Nothing gossip-worthy, I hope,\" he asked in a conspiratorial tone with a grin that he hoped showed that he was joking. \"Anyway, I'm a bit bored, mind if I join you for a while?\"\n\nLeith noticed the pillow Ssarak was holding, and then the items that Annabeth was holding. \"What's with the baby stuff?\"", "username": "Konan375", "char_name": "Leith Calder" }, { "text": "Ssarak Dyreackthanose\n\n---\n\n\"Annabeth believes we should bring gifts to Mar and Althalus for their coming child.\" Ssarak said, turning his head towards Annabeth with a slight grin. \"I suspect she is suicidal.\" He teased. He took a moment to look at the pillow he was holding, which seemed small in his rather large hand. Perhaps, at the very least, Mar would appreciate the utility of the items. He did not know if the hybrid of a Human and a Naga would be cold-blooded, but an item such as a blanket would be especially useful if that were the case. Without knowing what kind of a form the child would have, it would be difficult pick clothing for it beforehand, if it was even going to end up wearing them to begin with. Mar did not prefer to wear clothing, so Ssarak was not sure if she would pass that onto her hybrid child. There were many questions he had no way of knowing the answer to.

That argument had gotten really heated, really fast, and she wasn't quite sure if the human's return was a peaceful one or not. And why should she get to talk to her now, even when she was in need?

One odd thing that Leith noticed about it was that the gauntlet had started to change in its appearance.

[ { "text": "Ssarak Dyreackthanose\n\n---\n\nSsarak had been doing his best to provide useful information to the guards' frontline via telepathic communication. Mental communication was not all too taxing when he did not have to break through mental wards, so as long as he did not attempt many more illusions, he guessed he would have the stamina to last through the fight. He just hoped this fight would be the last one. This battle felt like organized warfare...something he was familiar with. His eyes scanned the enemy lines, trying to determine their next move. As they were demons, they fought differently than any army he had faced, but there were still enough similarities for his experience to be useful. He could tell when it seemed like they were about to push a particular spot.\n\nWhenever he noticed a threat, Ssarak did what he could to reinforce the area by notifying guards of the attack, directing archers to the location, and moving in himself to reinforce the front. Overall, the demons pressed hard, but they were holding. Ssarak used the defensive posture of the guards, and the height difference between them, to his advantage. While the guards used their shields to block, he could swing over their heads to wound or kill their attackers while they were vulnerable. This continued until a few demons broke a small hole in their lines, which Ssarak immediately tried to fill himself. He pushed back a few of the smaller ones with a few swings of his axe and his overall size and strength, but one of the larger ones gave him more trouble. Instead of dodging or defending when Ssarak took a swing, the seemingly suicidal demon simply let Ssarak's axe through so it could land a strong hit on Ssarak's chest with its warhammer, which he was only slightly able to deflect by angling his body.\n\nAfter the impact of the hammer, Ssarak was nearly thrown off of his feet. The guards finished off the demon and filled in the gap, but the blow had left its mark. There was a decent sized dent in his chestpiece, and, after he was able to breathe again, he felt a slight, but noticeable pain with every breath. One of his ribs was at least fractured. Fortunately, the battle seemed to be shifting. The teachers had taken notice of some of the tougher demons, demoralizing some of their minions. The guards were not only holding, but beginning to push back. Ssarak had been hurt worse before, and could still fight if he needed to, but it would not be appropriate for him to lead the charge. If he was correct about his injury, it would not develop into a serious one as long as he moved carefully and, most importantly, did not get hit again.\n\nGlancing away from the frontline for a moment, he saw some of his friends in various states of exhaustion and injury, but all obviously alive. He felt a bit of relief come over him, but with the battle still raging, it was not over yet. Still, he took a moment to approach the body of the Black Knight. Ssarak had caught glimpses of the demon, but was too focused on holding the front line to join the others in killing it. The Knight had looked to be strong, but with Meirin standing over its corpse and half of a spear protruding from its face, it was obviously not strong enough.\n\n\"Impressive.\" Ssarak said to the group as he looked to Meirin. \"Are you hurt?\" He asked, not truly caring about his own condition.", "username": "EliteCommander", "char_name": "Ssarak Dyreackthanose" }, { "text": "Darius' gaze shot up from the now dead demonic knight to the girl who had killed it, his face showing confusion.

He turned his head and spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor. An Esyire walked up to them and asked if the girl was alright. He ignored his headache and the pain that had blossomed in his shoulders and legs as he laughed flippantly at the question.\n\n\"I do not believe she could have hurt herself stealing*my*kill,\" he said, anger evident in his voice. He turned his gaze back to the girl and spoke to her, ignoring the Esyire for the moment. \"I did not call for hel-\" The man swayed as a wave of dizziness washed over him. \"For hel-\" Darius fell backwards onto the edge of a table, tipping it over.

[ { "text": "***THE NEXT DAY***\n\nThe night went on. For a short while, the morning was silent. Men and women, too tired to fight, still kept constant vigilance to fend off the demons from before. There was a much more noticeable guard presence now, and not a demon in sight. The festive air from yesterday was gone. While the college was clean of it's corpses, the scars from the battle before still lingered in the form of blocked off hallways under reconstruction, and a constant transportation of wagons and caskets. There was much fewer merchant stalls out now, and even they did not seem too eager to do business. The only place that was bustling with activity was the Headmaster's office. However, the headmaster was not present; he was still recovering from his injuries, and thus his teachers took his place. Lucilia was fortunate enough to have some of her fellow teachers Satori and Val assist her in dealing with the long line of victims and leaders who demanded answers for what happened. It would appear that all three women won't have a chance to relax until later that night. Oddly enough, neither delegates from Eania or Djarkel were present. Their deaths were not reported yet, which made the three teachers worried.\n\nAll the while, every able bodied teacher was not busy repairing the college. Due to their skill and powers, the college would be back to normal by the end of the week. Whether or not the college's people recover was another issue entirely. For the most part however, much of the college's facilities were still active, though some of the more commonly taken halls were closed down for repairs. The Infirmary was still packed with the wounded from yesterday, though now Lidda has taken over to care for the injured.\n\nAnnabeth Gulch\n\nAnnabeth was carefully undoing her bandages. She should consider herself fortunate; while she had many scars from the battle last night, she was in much better condition that Cynn. While both women would live, Cynn was, for the most part, comatose. Annabeth worried for her friend, but she was repeatability told that Cynn would recover within time. She might even wake up today. Annabeth just needed to give her time. Annabeth herself was very much sore from the fight last night, and was told not to do anything strenuous today or threaten opening her wounds. But part of Annabeth knew that she would still go and train.**\"If I was just stronger, better, than Cynn wouldn't be like this... I could have killed him, but... I wasn't good enough....\"**Annabeth wasn't going to wallow in self doubt however. She went over to her closet and donned what was left of her armor. Her sword was, unfortunately, getting repaired at the forge right now. So she'd have to stick with her axe and buckler.\n\nThe dormitory was a mess. The smell of death was still strong, barely masked by the smell of candles and incense. It almost made her want to vomit, but she held it in. Last thing she needed to do was make her own mess. She made her way towards the gymnasium which took a bit longer than usual due to one of the halls being closed off to be repaired. Annabeth found that a lot of halls had to be closed off for repairs, and for a moment she pondered if she should just head back to her dorm and sleep the rest of the day away. But eventually she found one hall that wasn't too badly damaged that she couldn't go through, and from there she headed towards the Gymnasium. Once inside it seemed that she was the first there. She pulled a wicker target out and began a few stretches before hacking away at the target, putting a lot of force behind each swing but working on removing the blade quicker than she put it into the target.

He sat up on his bed, yawned, and tried to stretch out his aching muscles. His first impression of how he felt was that he was particularly sore. Looking down at his chest, he saw that his scales were still bruised, but not to the extent as the previous night. The blood had dried, and when he applied pressure to his chest, he no longer felt any sharp pains inside him. It seemed the potion had at least mended his fractured rib.

Anyway, when you swing like that you're putting too much force into it, and the blade will just get stuck.\"**for emphasis, he grabbed one of the iron training axes and buried it into the wooden dummy's head.**\"And when you put so much effort into taking it back out, you leave yourself wide open. you should put your hand a little higher on the haft and keep your strikes quick, and your shield close...\"**\n\nHe demonstrated a few attacks with another one, along with a shield. While his shield wasn't as small, the basic principal remained. After that, he backed off. And with a start he realized he hadn't even introduced himself.**\"Er, my name is Grey by the way, I'm a guardsman here... And aside from that you look pretty good. Your stance is good, you seem like you get enough exercise, hell with a little more training you'd be well on your way to mastering the thing.\"**While not imposing, to his trained eye she was formidable. He was good at appraising people's combat effectiveness, and she seemed like a fine warrior, to say nothing of the powerful magic she would likely command. or did command.

From her tone, it seemed like she was in good health...or at least acceptable health. His joints popped and ached as he stood, which was both relieving and concerning at the same time. He had not gotten dressed yet, but he was still wearing his leather trousers, so Meirin did not have any unpleasant surprises when she approached the hole in the wall. He approached the hole as well and examined the damage to the stonework.\n\n\"Well, my entire body feels sore, my scales are bruised, and my joints feel like those of a one hundred-eighty year old man, but I am alive, and I will recover. I believe that potion mended my fractured rib. As for this hole, we can ask the next geomancer we see. I doubt it will be a priority for them, but I am sure they will get to it eventually. Until then...I suppose we are roommates. Hopefully, it turns out better than the last time I attempted to be Aruna's roommate.\" Ssarak said with a chuckle.

Occasionally one blow would be particularly powerful and she'd cleave right through it, which brought her a sense of satisfaction that helped her ignore her shortcoming yesterday. These cleaving blows were far and in between, but she felt that she was getting a pattern of idea of how to make it more consistent. As she attempted to cleave a head in half (Which she failed at doing, forcing the axe to get stuck somewhere between the eyes), a voice called out to her. She tried pulling out axe out quickly, but it took her a food five seconds to do so, five seconds in which an opponent could have taken advantage of. Luckily even though she used up so much time to pull her axe out, the person who spoke didn't seem hostile.\n\nAnnabeth turned to see the man who spoke to her. He was dressed in a light guard uniform, which told Annabeth that he was a guard. Why he was her instead of helping with the reconstruction of the college she didn't know. Wasn't her business she suppose, but after yesterday, she didn't want to be caught off guard yet again. She eyed him as he explained how to properly use an axe, even pointing out that she seemed to have taken two-handed axe training instead of her more usual weapon-and-shield style. She still didn't quite trust him, but she took mental notes of his technique on how to handle her axe better. Than the man made proper introductions. He was indeed a guardsman here, and his name was Grey. He complimented Annabeth on her form and physique and even thought that if she kept at it, she'd master the axe.**\"Thank you. And I certainly hope I can get better with this before too long.\"**Annabeth shifted her hand on the handle of her axe, taking into consideration of what Grey told her. She wanted a bit of reach on her weapon, as it was already much shorter than her long sword and any less and she might as well just find herself a large knife. Admittedly her past training had made her used to swinging her axe from near the bottom, and now having so much hilt made it a bit cumbersome. Annabeth figured that she'd find the right balance for her eventually.\n\nRemembering her part in basic manners, Annabeth faced Grey to introduce herself.**\"My name is Annabeth Gulch. I'm a student here at the college. I'm just here to... To get ready for another disaster. Um...\"**Annabeth shook her head. She really should stop thinking about yesterday. If she need something to focus on, she should focus on getting the right handling on her axe.**\"So what brings you here, Sir Grey? I had thought all the guardsmen were working towards reconstructing the college/ At least, that's what I seem most of them doing if they aren't...
