Tamma, don’t be stupid! Gavina has double the amount of power you do! I’m helping! she scolds through a mind link.

*She turns slowly, her cat-like eyes flashing. Her skin ripples like there is something trying to escape from beneath it. Her lips part and her teeth form into razor sharp daggers. She tears off the robe, her hands no longer hands, but claws. The cracking and shifting of bones can be heard as she slowly drops to the ground, a growling scream tearing from her human throat. A thick, clear liquid seeps out of her skin and the gown she was wearing beneath the robe rips at the seams. Her spine arches and she throws her head back, her raven hair flying. When she brings her head back down, her face has elongated into a feline muzzle, emerald-veined golden eyes looking hungry and dangerous. Her form is now covered with short black fur and she is no longer human. She is a panther the size of a small horse.*

“Try me, human,” her muzzle does not move as she stares menacingly at a man who is about to attack, yet her hissing voice is heard.

*The man turns to run, but it is too late. She leaps upon him and rips his throat out with one snap of her jaws. When she looks up from her kill, she sees Tamrissa already bringing her sword down against Gavina’s own sword.*

Turn her so her back is facing me and don’t hold her gaze, she’ll try to break your mind! she hisses through the mind link with Tamrissa.

*Once Gavina is facing away from her, she slinks slowly towards her. She crouches low and leaps, claws ripping down the back of the Council member. As Gavina screams, Tamma brings her sword down across the Council member’s neck, knocking it from her pretty shoulders with one clean blow.*

[OOC: I agree with Clutchfiend, trying to cram two characters into one is sorta hard and confusing. Hopefully having two characters isn't two much of a problem.]

Hello, I'm Fei Serumen, a friend of the group. I would introduce myself a little more, but I'm kinda pressed for time. See you around

*Tamrissa and the cat look confused over Sabre Soldier's lack of humor, and just how grainy it was as he attempted to make a joke in his greeting. Some of the daemons attempt to attack the 3 from behind afterwards, catching them off guard. Sabre Soldier notices some daemons approaching from behind Tamrissa and Brigit and vanishes, a white streak that passes in between the two, spinnning them in the opposite direction to see several daemons fall apart into firey chunks of meat at their feet. Sabre Soldier reappears, a static blur of a watery figure, with black lighting channeling through him, that can barely be made out. He almost looks transparent as his body moves with such speed, and his shadow seems to encase him as it follows behind him. He looks at the new comer and bows politely, and disappears again. Daemons begin to fall apart in a straight line across the arena as Sabre Soldier runs through them attacking with his bare hands. The ones that can see him, see him as a blur of colliding white and black energy that streaks across the battlefield. He stops where the child is pinned on the sapphire spike. A grin grows across his face, and he jumps up into the air. He holds his arms down to the sides and backs up slightly. The sapphire begins to glow an even deeper blue, and begins to swirl with energy. Sabre Soldier, in a rush of power pulls the energy from the surrounding area, channeling it into his body. This energy forms a black ball of lighting infront of his body. He braces himself, and lets loose this energy that's infront of him. The ball of energy disperses itself, and shoots thousands large black chords of lightning into the sapphire spikes tip, and the ball begins to shrink slowly. The child's body tenses up as the lightning force triples as it channels through the sapphire into his being. When it's all over, the childs ashes simply vanish into smoke, and the sapphire falls apart to the ground. Sabre Soldier then falls to the ground, his energy exhausted.*

Damn the Council... they thought they could kill me that easily. Their arrogance will be the death of them!

Soul Reaver attempts to open a Warp Gate to Inferno, but finds that his efforts fail - a flash of crackling blue energy prevents any attempt to cut open a path through reality.

So the Council has erected an Etherial Barrier... seems we will be unable to call in any more reinforcements or escape until they have been dispatched.

Blooddrinker speaks eagerly.
No more time to waste, then! For years I have craved the taste of the thin blood of the Council! Show them no mercy!

Soul Reaver nods, then casts a teleport spell to transport himself to the Colloseum.

The Colloseum grounds are a slaughterhouse, the sandy ground running red with blood and gore. Sabre Solder, weakened by his massive expediture of energy, collapses down to the ground, barely holding himself up. Three massive humanoids see him fall, and, gripping their axes and grinning evilly, advance on him. The largest of the three raises his axe over his head...

But it never falls. A sickening crunch is heard as Blooddrinker cleaves the thug almost in two, slicing from his shoulder down to his spleen. Soul Reaver, his face contorted in anger, rips the sword from the body in a spray of blood. The other two warriors are aghast, and barely have time to rally before Soul Reaver swings his sword again.

Soul Reaver dodges a crude but strong chop by the first thug's axe. In return, Soul Reaver's massive slash cuts right through the first warrior's torso, and it splinters the huge axe brought up as a hasty defence by the second thug. It carries on unimpeded through the air and slices the second thug in two.

Seeing Soul Reaver, the horned council member sends a bolt of yellow power crackling through the air toward him. Soul Reaver, seeing the incoming bolt of energy, swings his Daemon-blade upwards to deflect it. The two magics collide, and a massive explosion hurls Soul Reaver to the ground. The horned council member floats into the air and above Soul Reaver, yellow sparks crackling from his hands and eyes.

"Your pathetic existence will end here, Soul Reaver! You're mine!"

*Jihon then smiles in retaliation and looks back at the silent Clutchfeind.*

"I would love to, old friend, but I must stay here. My power is needed to defeat the council. Besides, someone has to give orders to this group!"

cLuTcHFieND gestures towards the space marines that are clustered in one corner of the arena, tearing apart their opposition with their bolt rifles.

Kalana flashes a strange smile at cLuTcHFieND, who smiles back in return. She then turns toward Jihon and Thisaias.

"I don't know what your plan is, but whatever you do, don't use the Tritons to attack the council. Let us handle them. Just clear some of this dammed rabble and try to stop anyone else from getting into the arena. Good luck. May the spirit of Sanguinus be with you."

cLuTcHFieND draws his sword and flies back into the fray, landing in the midst of the space marine contingent. He finds the squad leader and gets the info on the battle. Out of the 50 marines that originally landed, only 27 are still standing. 14 had been wounded and sent back to the hovering warships, and 9 had been slain in battle. The marines that are left are quickly running out of ammo for their bolters. cLuTcHFieND turns on his helmet comm and addresses the group.

"I need to get back to the center of the battle! You men are to clear me a path through all those pathetic half-humans. Use your power swords. Help any allies and civilians you come across. Ready?"

The group of marines address cLuTcHFieND in one loud voice.

"SIR, YES SIR!"

cLuTcHFieND moves to the front of the group and raises his sword.

"CHARGE!"

cLuTcHFieND and the marines charge towards the middle of the battlefield, tearing apart everyone in their path.

"WOW, I never knew overthrowing an empire could be THIS fun!!"

*Kelvack's being is then changes from flesh to energy again and he rushes down into the fray. Bolts of energy shoot from all directions, each hitting a different target. The pletheras of humanoids in the arena a literally shocked to see this new warrior. One of the council members throws a marine to the side and charges at Kelvack.*

"Fool! This battle shall not end in your favor!!"

*Kelvack braces himself but is knocked back by the council member. The Councilmen then stomps down on his chest, only to have his foot shocked by Kelvack's energy. Kelvack shoots himself through the Councilmen's chest, leaving quite a spacious hole in the poor fellow. The Councilmen, quite angry now, spins around. He mutters a spell and the ground around Kelvack glows red. Blue chains sprout from the ground and surround Kelvack. They are made of negative charged energy particles. Kelvack, being a positively charged being, is neutralized, he cannot move.*

Crap, this might get ugly.

(ooc: dang been hard to post lately, sorry)

"You fool! Do you really think you can beat me?

cLuTcHFieND smiles.

"I know how powerful you are. I probably can't beat you on my own. But I can at least hold you off untill the others are free to help me. You'd be suprised at how long I can last."

Pillare's smile turns into a scowl of contempt.

"Fine. Have it your way. You will die slow, and it will be painful."

The two waste no more words on each other. They leap at each other, their swords clashing together and creating brilliant archs of light.

I guess I have to feed sooner than I thought. That one took alot out of me.

*Sabre Soldier still glowing slightly unbelts his robe, and takes off the top half baring his defined, thin body and tattooed back, that has a large glowing black dragon on the back, that seems to come to life, live on him. Nobody has ever noticed it before, because it was something that was only on his higher council body. He looks over at Soul Reaver, and nods.*

Looks like I owe you one.

*Sabre Soldier looks up at the horned being who is charging up another spell. Sabre Soldier forms a small energy ball behind his back, and when the spell is released at Soul Reaver, Sabre soldier intercepts the shot with his own, knocking it away. The Horned Council member looks in disgust to see the weakened Council member Sabre Soldier attempting to hold his own, being so weak. With great speed, he charges Sabre Soldier, who is trying to distract him, so that Soul Reaver can get back to his feet. In a deafening blow, Sabre Soldier is sent flying up against a wall, as the he was struck dead in the chest. Very weak, Sabre Soldier stands back up and smirks at the council member.*

If that's all you have, then you are far more pathetic than I imagined. I'll do the same to you as I did Raieen.

*Using what blood he has left to use, Sabre Soldier uses it on his Supernatural dexterity, and flickers, then vanishes right infront of the council member, who looks puzzled for a moment.*

((OOC: It appears that we have another avid Warhammer 40k player. I play as the eldar, because they are a good, balanced race. Captain Alloway doesn't play against me anymore because he plays as Tyranid, and the Eldar just stomp the Tyranid. He also says that he doesn't have a large enough table to play against me, which I don't understand, because Tyranids are meant to be close range. ))

Sabre Soldier: The Unreal Assasin.
Death is my Mistress...
War is my Master...

The Horned One hastly murmurs a spell, and his outline begins to blur... a wide, toothy grin is evident on his face. In a flash, he has run to the opposite side of the arena... and before anyone can so much as blink, he appears behind Soul Reaver, swinging his blade downward, attempting to split Soul Reaver's head in two.

To his amazement, his sword clangs hard upon metal as it strikes Blooddrinker. Soul Reaver, his eyes crackling red, stares the startled Council Member straight in the the face.

"You're not as quick is as you think you are!"

Before the Horned One can react, Soul Reaver sends a Mind Blast spell at him. Due to his powerful will and mind, the Horned One survives... but even he is forced to stagger backwards a pace.

The Horned One, startled at the viciousness of Soul Reaver's assault, and wary of Sabre's presence, grips his blade with both hands and cautiously awaits the next attack.

--To fight is to live. And my battle is eternal.--

Soul Reaver's right. You're not as fast as you think you are.

*The horned council member begins to get a little nervous, and eyes down the battlefield, trying to locate Sabre Soldier, but not being able to find him. Soon he braces himself to attack Soul Reaver once again, but when he brings his sword up, he notices a reflection of a figure in the blade, standing behind him. In an instant, the blade is spun around, only to hit air, and the laugh once again begins. The horned council member becomes enraged, and begins to glow, crackling with energy. He looks around once again, occasionally looking into his blade to spot Sabre Soldier who is in the air around them the whole time. Before having the time to move, Sabre Soldier's figure flickers in the air above the Horned Council member, and roundhouse kicks him in the back of his head, knocking him unbalanced foward. Then next thing anyone see's is a small whirlwind in between Soul Reaver,and the unbalanced council member who is still tumbling foward, his face aimed at the ground. The whirlwind lasts for a blink of an eye, as Sabre Soldier does a backflip kick connecting with the Higher Council members face, knocking him back up to his feet, hurting the Council member's pride more than hurting him. When in the middle of the instantaneous kick, Sabre's figure vanishes again in a flicker, and disappears,creating a very unsettling atmosphere around the area to anyone in it. Soon Sabre Soldier's figure can be slightly seen as a blury figure. He seems to be very weak, almost frenzying. A frenzy is never good. Everyone within range becomes a victim. He seems to back off a little, due to his weakness, and trys to scan the area for someone, something to feed off of. Something that has blood. Anything in this cursed place, to give him his vitality back. He hasn't eaten in a very long time, and is easily showing the effects of it, from his weakness.*

(ooc: Yes, I am a Warhammer 40k player. I chose the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter because it matches my personality well. And they definitely aren't lacking in strength. btw, Sabre, where do you know Captain Alloway from? I used to go to school with him.)
