"If I could only figure out a way to get this damn mask off... I hate this thing... I have hated all the masks." Jihon hesitates for a moment. "I know I can take this... But its going to hurt like hell...." He smiles "Oh well..." He shrugs and then plunges his sword into the bonding drive...

"You're welcome!" she calls after them, then sighs, turning to look back down the hall. Various pieces of the wall are missing and debris litters the floor. She steps over it carefully. "Jihon, are you sacrificing yourself again?!" she calls. "You know, you should let someone else be martyr once in awhile!" She puts her hand on the frame of the door and swings around to peer in. "Shit! Jihon, not everyone is out of the area!" she widens her eyes and watches him plunge the sword into the drive... ~A sweet little woman..with more bite than bark.~

She speaks in her native tongue, translucent gray tears falling down her tanned face. Her reptilian eyes flick upwards to Jihon and she pulls back her lips from her teeth, a low growl rumbling just as a blinding flash comes from the drive....

She stops suddenly near one hole in the wall. "Fei..." she mumbles, then keeps on running. "I need to get down to Fei....NOW!" Her eyes flash with worry... ~A sweet little woman..with more bite than bark.~

I sence that he is fighting to keep his soul in his body..." Jihon looks at Tam... "Why? did you have a better suggestion?" He smiles and picks up the pace a bit. He looks back for a second to see a wall of fire expanding towards them. "Shit! Grab my hands!" Jihon Lets go of the old man and makes sure he will stay over his shoulder. He reches out his hands towards Both Des and Tam...

He tows both Des and Tam through the window and High into the sky. His wings flutter gracefully as if that of a butterfly in slow motion. The explosion nearly singes Tamrissa as it tears through a large portion of the palace. "It is not the fear of death that drives us.... It is the fear of eternal life...."

I need to get to Fei and Naraka, Jihon, she speaks into his mind, still dangling from his hand. ...after I heal Xavier, I need to get to Fei. ~A sweet little woman..with more bite than bark.~

He looks at Des. "What is your relationship with this man?" Jihon looks at Des with anger in his eyes "It is not the fear of death that drives us.... It is the fear of eternal life...."

Her chin dimples and she sniffs, tears dripping down her cheeks again. "By Cenzar, Jihon, don't look at me that way!" she looks up at him. "I was protecting him! If I hadn't worked with them, they would have killed him! Do you understand??" She looks down at the old man. "I was supposed to stall you, to lead you to the traps," she caresses Xavier's face. "My uncle had no idea who he worked for, until it was too late. But I knew...and they knew I knew. They got to me before I could get to him." Her eyes lift again. "I don't expect you to forgive me, Jihon, but do not look at me like I am the enemy..."

Not just some fool wondering around. I cannot forgive you and I will not... But... Lets just forget the whole thing..." Jihon hears the sound of battle nearby... He glances over his shoulder and sees something odd... "What the hell is that?" "It is not the fear of death that drives us.... It is the fear of eternal life...."

"When I tell you I want you to put your hands on his chest, but until then, stay back." She leans down and lays her forehead to Xavier's. Her eyes close and she delves into his mind, searching for his presence. Xavier, she calls to that presence. Xavier. Her magic pours into him and she reaches for his soul, trying to pull it back into his body as she heals him. "Desiree, now!" As Des places her hands on the old man, Tam reaches out with fingers of her power and grips some of Des' life force. She rips it from her and feeds it to Xavier's soul. Come back, Xavier, she whispers and then opens her eyes. She takes in a gasping breath and pulls back from him, looking over at a shocked Des... ~A sweet little woman..with more bite than bark.~

Posts: 3771 Apr 3 02 6:08 PM Angel of Redemption God-General More My Recent Posts	((OOC: Christ! When did I start this thread?? )) cLuTcHFieND and Kari feel the rush of the explosion washing over them, and suddenly, a sickening thought enters cLuTcHFieND's mind. Dante and Peterson!!!!! cLuTcHFieND dumps Zera into Kari's arms and takes off back towards the palace. He flies right through the flames, a strange feeling of renewed strength rushes through him as the flames heat his armour. He quickly runs through the flaming structure, and finally sees them; Dante and Peterson crouching behind an overturned table. cLuTcHFieND quickly switches elements, and a field of ice spreads from his feet, freezing the room and temporarily extinguishing the flames. The ice quickly begins to melt, but by the time the flames rekindle, cLuTcHFieND has already pulled Dante and Peterson from the blase. They all land in a heap near Jihon, Des, and Tamrissa. Dante quickly stands back up and looks back towards the palace. "This is worse than a battle against orcs! Nowhere is safe!" >>Meine Schmerz stammen meine Einsamkeit ab<< >>Ma douleur est provoquée par ceux amour de I les la plupart<< cLuTcHFieND: Admin of The Administorum Click Here to visit!

Fei Serumen	the battle continues.	#17	[-]
Posts: 2848 Apr 3 02 7:48 PM Prince of Nooses Colonel More My Recent Posts	((LONG READ/FIGHT SCENE)) Naraka casts a steady gaze as the others flee the palace during the explosion. His eyes narrow as he watches them land in the distance. "your friends dont' know when to quit you vermin." Naraka turns his head to Fei arrogantly sneering at him. "heh heh.. I'd like to know how you can keep so calm knowing your life is about to end..." Fei speaks while he pulls himself up spitting out a small wad of curdled blood. "you talk too damn much Naraka." Fei narrows his eyes that slowly heal and bares his fangs hissing his words. "oh.. is that so, ancient one? Your time is up anyways..." Naraka smiles speaking turning back to Fei and tightening his hands forming long 12 inch razor sharp, silver Talons. Fei's body slowly warps back into his tall, sleek figure, other than his hunched over, and in excruciating pain figure that burdened him. "now let us continue you bastard" Fei continues to speak, arching his back, popping all the joints back into place. Though the hunger can easily be seen within his body, as it's slightly thinner than normal. Fei's figure swirls slightly and blurs contently, but not to any extremes like it used to. With a rush of speed he charges Naraka who is but 10 feet away from him. Naraka braces himself and deflects the masses of punches that come whirling into him from the front and the sides, parrying each shot with his lightning quick reflexes, catching Fei's fists with each blurry swing, is forced backwards by the volley of punches thrown. Naraka concentrates harder than usual as he in between 2 of the swings he quickly throws Jabs back, smashing his fists into Fei's face who doesn't seem to feel it's effects as his nose is shattered, and keeps on forcing Naraka backwards. Not having to breathe Fei doesn't worry about growing tired, and keeps the same tactic of punches until he suddenly vanishes. Coming up from behind, Fei has a sword of pure darkness in his hand, screaming at Naraka as he charges from behind. Naraka's ears perk up as he hears Fei approaching from behind and counters by swinging his body around and coming across Fei's face with an instep round kick knocking Fei to the side as he passes by Naraka, sliding to the ground, but bringing the blade across Naraka's one leg. Leaping back to his Feet Fei begins his assault with the dark blade, Naraka avoiding it quite easily as his body moves fluently between each swing coming back with the razor claws that dig into Fei's body with each swing, but Fei continues, ignoring the aggrivating pain that forms smoke around each cut, continuing his fight to hold Naraka at bay. With one last swipe of the claws, Fei releases a horrific scream in pain, but as well throwing his blood at Naraka, coating his face and hands, which begins to burn almost instantly, whithering him slightly in pain, causing Naraka to drop holding his face, as well as forcing him to heal. Fei collapses to the ground holding his chest and abdomen, focusing on healing the aggrivated wounds as well. "you son of a bitch. Did I hurt you. Like I thought. You still take a hit like a girl." Fei screams out at Naraka, the adrenaline still in his voice.

But he has gone too far out of range. After a while, she comes to where he resides, with other warriors. She shakes ashes off her clothes. She stands next to Clutchfiend and looks down at Xavier. She crouches near him. "Is he alive?" She glances around. Her ears twitch. "I don't think it's very safe here." She looks at Tamrissa. "And Fei. What about Fei? Naraka's nobody's fool." She looks up at Dante, Peterson and Clutchfiend. "Is there any way we can help him?"

He points in the direction of the black ball. and then looks back down at Tamrissa. "For gods sake woman! start using conditioner!" He smiles at his current predicament... He knows in his heart that much bigger things will come... "It is not the fear of death that drives us.... It is the fear of eternal life...."
Soul Reaver	Fire, Escape, and Afterwards (hehe)	#20	[-]
Posts: 1675 Apr 4 02 4:41 AM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	Soul Reaver runs blindly down the corridors, Blooddrinker sheathed on his back, and dimly hearing the roar of the exploding bonding drive behind him. A lone guard runs around the corner in front of him, his eyes wide in surprise... his expression doesn't change as his head is severed from his body and lands on the ground after Soul Reaver's passing. Blooddrinker is sheathed once more with fluid grace. The Palace shakes viciously and cracks begin to rapidly run over the floor. Gouts of flame spew from sudden holes in the walls. Soul Reaver sees a window ahead... a small, narrow window set in cold granite, designed for archers to fire from. Soul Reaver does not stop running, but speaks the words for a Darkbolt spell. His hands glow with pure blackness as his mana gathers to complete the spell, and with a wide swing, he hurls the bolt at the wall beside the window. Bricks and mortar blast outwards from the area of impact, raining down outside, thudding onto the ground. With a huge rumbling, the floor behind Soul Reaver collapses downwards into a blazing inferno. The flagstones beneath Soul Reaver's feet begin to shift as he is just a few metres from the hole in the wall... gritting his teeth, he leaps into the air... The entirety of the floor collapses just as Soul Reaver leaves the ground. He dives through the hole in the castle wall, a massive burst of flame following close behind. Outside, he lands on the ground, rolling to break his fall, and comes to his feet in one smooth motion. Above him, flames flicker and roar from the palace. "That was fortunate indeed..." However, his heart sinks as he feels a chilling cold nearby. He turns to see a Shade, appearing as a peasant man dressed in a blood-stained, torn tunic. It reaches out to him with insubstantial claws, its mouth open in a terrible, agonised wail. More Shades are approaching close behind. Soul Reaver curses as he draws Blooddrinker and begins to back away. "Where are the others?!" The closest Shade lunges at him. Soul Reaver slices at it with Blooddrinker... the sword instantly feels icy cold as it tears through its ghostly body. The blade cuts and feeds even on their vile energies, but the close proximity to the Shades painful for Soul Reaver to say the least. More Shades close in at frightening speed. Soul Reaver, his face grim, sends a call for help to his companions. If anyone can hear this message, come find me! I am under attack by Shades! I cannot defeat them all!
