Asaki Masako | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
The wind picks up, heavy and hot from the inferno taking place. Asaki stares down at the slaughter, hair constantly being blown into her face. The teenager walks down a little farther, an expression of blank anger masks itself over her face as she stares at the hordes of creatures scurrying up the walls. She reaches her hand out and catches a few specs of ashes. She closes a gloved fist around it and narrows her gaze on the ememy, her irisis flash green.
"What's the plan?" |

Yue turns her head upwards as Keseno flys over her. Keseno... She continues her pace until she meets up with the others on the top of the hill.
Yue stares out over the battlefeild, shocked, watching the massacre continue. She clenches her hand tightly over the hilt of her sword, wanting to attack now. Lowering her head, she mumbles mostly to herself but still clear enough that the others could hear... "You know my instant reaction would be to run out there blindly... but even I know when I dont stand a chance..." Her head rises again as scans over the battle once again, still clenching her sword and wanting to jump in. We are not living, but merely existing out of the fear of dying.

((Fei from Jihon's if you haven't read the Subject))
Fei gives Kanshisha a small wink back, with a chuckle, speaking to where he can hear him. "what do you mean by Wannabe, fledgeling? I Guess your daddy wasn't man enough to show you respect to your elders..." Fei steps passed looking down on the Citadel then turning to stand next to Tamrissa. "What's his problem?" Fei Speaks gesturing to Gulver. After a second or 2 of akward Silence, Fei continues. "bad timing I guess...." A small smile and a turn around and Fei walks away, looking down onto the Citadel once again just as Tam and Gulver take off. "So any suggestions anyone?" Fei steps back and turns to the coterie, crossing his arms, looking over the place, his eyes rolling over the sick one as he see's Zera. "You look so pale, I could mark you as dead.... are you.. capable of defending yourself?" Even though his words seem cold and sharp at first, a small tint of pity and sincerity flows through Fei's eyes which swirl with their usually emerald green shades. "Tamrissa....." Fei's head snaps in the direction that Gulver and Tam took off towards the Citadel. "Damn it Tam!" Fei's figure swirls a faint blue before he vanishes in a trail of shadows, appearing infront of Tam and Gulver within the same instant. "Knock it off you 2. You have no clue what you're getting yourselves into..." Fei stops infront of the 2 at the middle point of the hill, indirect line of Tam and Gulver, his eyes slowly beginning to shift. Within this instant that he stands infront of the 2 someways down the hill close to the citadel, he mindspeaks to Tam charging towards them to get them to stop. "Stop, Please!." Darkness seaps through the ground infront of Gulver forming a very dark, impenetrable shadow wall the very instant he steps onto it. "I don't think you know what you're getting into." Fei yells to him the wall disappearing afterwards to get the attention of the 2. Turning around, Fei notices a dark figure from the outer part of the citadel pointing at them. It's frame moderately tall and thin, wielding a large, crude, black, bloodstained sword, the blade resting on it's shoulder as it screams and points with it's other hand. "Damn it! Look what you've done!!!" Fei yells over at Gulver, looking back to see a handful of dark soldiers approaching with a great amount of speed. A speed an aged undead would carry. Before being able to even speak to Tam for an instant, Fei is barraged by 2 blades at once, being swung ferociously by 2 of the warriors. The blades seem to pass through Fei's figures effortlessly as he leaves a trail of shadows with his every dodge, the whips of the blades pass through the air with just as much ease. Crashing to the ground goes one of the knights as Fei sweeps it's legs out from under it just as a blade stabs into the ground next to his face. That very instant Fei vanishes, coming from behind the 2 knights, bringing the Yugitti across the one's back, slicing through the metal armor at it's collar, diagnally in a shower of sparks. The shadowed blade cuts all the way down into the knight's rib cage where he's thrusted forward with a hard kick to the ground. Each movement is flawless in form, and by this time, 2 of the darkened knights are up again swinging at Fei who parries each of their shots, slowly sliding back as their hits connect simultaneously showing their strength against the Antediluvian. "These guys are pretty good... Be on your Guard, Madaam..." Fei mindspeaks to Tam in the middle of the fight, flipping back with kick that parries the 2 dark legion away just as one bounds over the 3 in combat, sprinting for Tam, weapon drawn. Another on Gulver already. Landing into a back handspring, Fei is immediately dodging again as the lightning fast swords swing across his body, shadows being ripped apart like newspaper with the immense speed of the battle. As the shadows Disipate, Fei counters, the 6 foot long, slender blade spinning against the 2 Dark Legion's swords, knocking large chunks of black steel out with each gash, dulling the swords quickly. As well as that, many of the hits connect, knocking bone and flesh from the warriors which don't seem to notice. One shot particularly knocking a large chunk of head across the cloak covering their faces. Continuing through, Fei continues his implacable advance over the 2 who put up a moderate challenge by themselves without the help of any others. ((Okay guys, these guys ain't no pussies. Each one has the approximate strength and speed of an elder vampire, or methuselah, who have lived for a millenia or 2. So yes, they're going to be tough.)) "I am the damned child... The legacy of shame... Yet... I fight... I will continue in my fathers footsteps... whether I am accepted or not..."

Blades flashing, the legionnaire was upon Gulver, it's speed deceptively fast for an undead being. Combat CPU firing up, Gulver sidestepped to barely avoid having his head taken off by a swipe.
Shit! These things are faster than they look.... The system is barely keeping ahead of them..... Fuck! INCOMING! Gulver moved his head but not fast enough to avoid the blade which sank in halfway in his head. The blade slid to a halt when it reached the place that could be called the bridge of Gulver's forehead, and the grey haired one looked at the legionnaire holding the blade, eyes full of rage. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!!!!" The Legionnaire seemed to hesitate as if momentairly surprised that cutting his head halfway through didn't kill him like expected. It's surprise was cut short as Gulver grabbed it's arm which was holding the blade and pulled it out of it's skull and grabbed the Legionnaire's head with his other free arm, hand already expanded to accomdate it's skull in his palm. Pushing forward, Gulver swung one of his leg behind the legionnaire and knocked it to the ground, still holding it's arm and head. "EAT THIS!!!!" was all Gulver shouted before the hand holding the Legionnaire by the head began to glow a blue light before blasting it at extremly close range with a gravity bullet. Not even stopping, Gulver charged up and fired several more attack in rapid succesion, nearly pulverzing it's head to a fine dust, and still.... Gulver would not stop firing off more rounds. ooc: This might be overdoing it but.... whatever..... |

(ooc: Alright, I want to give everyone an idea of the power-level of the Dark Legion.
Though one of us is a match for one of them, three or four of them at once can defeat any one of us. They are excellent fighters with their respective weapons (which are usually very well-made) and they are superhumanly strong and fast. They are tough as only a dead thing can be, capable of sustaining gruesome amounts of damage and continue fighting unhindered. They are strongly magic-resistant, so it'll take a lot of magic to do any real damage. They do not feel surprise, fear, or any other emotion. They'll almost mechanically analyse and adapt to any sitation or threat they see and change their strategies accordingly. Oh, and they don't bleed. Their bodies are withered and dry. Hope that helps you guys handle the fights as accurately as possible. ![]() |

Zera stands slowly, light headed and still feeling a bit nauseated. She takes a few wobbling steps before taking off at a run towards the Warp.
Wait! she calls after the retreating figures of the others inside the Warp. She can hardly breathe inside the raging portal, but she keeps running. Her wide eyes try to focus on the forms disappearing through another portal just ahead. With a cry, she leaps out of the Warp and onto the ground at the others feet. She gets to her feet just as some of them begin taking off towards the citadel. Im fine, she holds a hand up as some look at her strangely and Fei inquires after her health. And I can defend myself. Stumbling slightly, she follows along with everyone. When she reaches the hill, her eyes widen at the carnage a slight hunger in her sulfur brown eyes. She holds back all thoughts of enjoying the sights, keeping them far away from Thisias. Her gaze turns to Soul as he shouts Hes here! she points to the side of her head. We are sharing a body for now. Her shoulders come up in a shrug. |

Tamrissa Roshan | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
Tamrissa stops on the hill beside the others, curls flying forward as she steps up to stand by her companions amidst the heat coming from the battle. She takes a deep, audible breath and lifts her chin slightly, lowering her eyes to watch the battle with a sudden dismay. Her olive eyes flash as the Dark Legion smashes the opposing army to bits, overwhelming them before they even have a chance to strike.
Gulver! she calls after him as he goes running towards a few of the Legionnaires that have sprung out of a Warp close to them. Unsheathing the Kuru in a flash of metal, she flies after him. She dodges away from Fei as he appears in front of her, her teeth bared at him. I have to get to him before they do! She stops again as Fei blocks once more. Her eyes blaze with fury and she watches as Gulver is attacked. Fei! she screams as two of the soldiers strike at him. Backing up a few steps, she is set upon by one as well. Vines spring up around its ankles, holding it for but a moment as its amazing strength rips them clean out of the ground to drag uselessly along as it runs at her. She gasps as a sword comes down lightening fast. The Kuru comes up to parry just in time and she is driven backward by the furious driving force of the undead soldier. We need to get back up to the others, Fei! she cries into his mind. Without leading these fiends along! She ducks a swing of the sword, a blast of energy coming from her outstretched palm and smacking the armored swordsman in the leg. It doesnt seem to be affected at all. In fact, it continues to swing at her violently and precisely. The breath is knocked out of her as she dives to avoid being cleaved in half. Rolling a few feet down the hill, she scrambles to her feet and brings the Kuru up to block another swing. The earth softens beneath the steps of the Legionnaire, but no sooner are its feet sinking than it is pulling them out and charging her again. Gulver! Get back up the hill! This is hopeless! she yells as she is driven closer to him. A giant vine rips free from the side of the hill, exploding towards the Legionnaire swinging at her. Right before it hits, the tip of the sword slices across her collarbone, just deep enough to draw a bit of blood. But that is all the hurt it does her as the vine whisks it off its feet and sends it flying like a cannonball into the middle of the battle going on closer to the citadels walls, where it probably recovers and begins to attack another poor wretch. Chest heaving, she spins around to see how Gulver and Fei are faring. Eyes narrowing, she moves to help. She brings her hand down in a wide sweep and the vine swings back to knock one of Fei's attackers away. This time the vine does not sweep it far enough away and it comes charging back. Her eyes darken and she readies the Kuru... |

Gulver stopped blasting the now pulverized form of the Legionnaire he was holding. Still holding it, the grey haired one made his way back up the hill, head held down low, looking at the ground. Halfway the distance to Tam, he stopped and picked his head up to face Tam, his facial expression blank.
Target confirmed. Terminating now..... KillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKill KillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKill KillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKill KillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKill KillKillKill Slowly gulver raised his free arm and pointed it toward Tam. It began to glow with blue energy, a telltale signal that Gulver was charging up for another one of his signature attack. As quickly as it began, the glow died down and his facial expression began to change to one of rage and pure hatered then to shock then finally to pained. With his free arm, Gulver clutched his face and began to groan in extreme pain, his other hand tightening, creating crunching sound from the head of the legionnaire he was holding. His form began to crackle with energy, bolts of power licking over his body. Finally, Gulver let go of the Legionnaire and took a few step forward before dropping to one knee. His downed form began to tremble but as quickly as it began, it stopped. breathing heavily out of habit, Gulver looked up toward Tamrissia and muttered just loud enough for her to hear, "Something is terribily wrong with me...." |

((forgot to mention that this is Fei again under Thisias's account. Sorry for confusion... his connection sux.
![]() As he takes offensive, Fei hisses as his sword showers flak and sparks across the area with horrifically loud clashes. As Tamrissa takes the rake across the collar, he begins to fight even harder as he vanishes virtually within the sudden thrust, a flash of blackness enveloping the area before his blade is seen through the back of the legionairre. Twisting the blade to the side, Fei takes 2 harsh slashes to his back that split open the skin, as he pulls the blade up through the abdominal area of the legionairre through it''s head, ripping it in 2. A 3rd, 4th and 5th slash trigger him off as he heals them as they come, kicking the split legionairre to the ground where it rots, bringing his hard black boot to whipe the skin of the second legionairre. At this time the second legionairre distracted by the sudden vine, focuses on Tamrissa. A grave mistake as Fei's eyes flash red, bringing the Yugitti down across it's back, thrusting it forward in Tam's direction, his free hand sinking the 18 inch talons through the back of it's head out through it's Face infront of Tam. "Kill the damned thing..." Fei tensens the grip he has on the creature giving Tam time to act. "I am the damned child... The legacy of shame... Yet... I fight... I will continue in my fathers footsteps... whether I am accepted or not..."

Tamrissa Roshan | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
Completely oblivious to Gulver aiming at her, Tamrissa swipes the Kurusunami upwards. She is true to her aim and the hooded head of the Legionnaire snaps off in Fei's clawed hand. Not taking any risks, she brings the sword across to knock one of its arms off and then across again to take a leg. The Kuru vibrates and sparks wildly with each hit, having a terrible time cutting through the bone. She brings the sword up and waits for the thing to move again, a grim satisfaction beginning to appear on her face as the body crumbles to the ground. Her eyes go up to Fei's face briefly, before turning to the kneeling Gulver.
"Like you said, let's talk about this later," she replies calmly to his mumbled words. "We have to get back up to Soul Reaver and the others right now. Attacking the Dark Legion this way will only get us killed." She offers a hand to help him up, her other hand sheathing the sword... |

Unregistered(d) | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
A dry cracking sound is heard as the head explodes in Fei's grasp as Tamrissa finishes. His eyes going to the side as if he's looking to his backside to see the cuts. Mumbling just under his breath, he sneers and speaks as he see's the wounds staying open. "I see they're prepared for anything..."
Fei gives Tam and Gulver a look each and disappears, appearing next to the main body of the group. At the same instant he arrives next to the others, he throws his overcoat on, pulling a belt tight around his mid section, covering the wounds with jaw clenching pain, not showing it in his expression though. Blood trickles down the open wounds from under the overcoat, balling up at the belt, forming a red bloodstain around the seem of the belt on his back. "Son of a bitch... how could I let this happen..." Fei murmurs, feeling the back of the overcoat, the wounds sensative, causing him to pull away quite quickly in a sense of pain. "heh... who would have thought such an old trick still works...." Fei shakes his head, looking around, trying to divert his attention to something else, keeping his back facing outwards, a small pool of blood slowly forming, almost unoticable unless directly sought after. "I am the damned child... The legacy of shame... Yet... I fight... I will continue in my fathers footsteps... whether I am accepted or not..."

Gulver slowly raised a hand and reached for Tamrissia,'s hand but stopped partway as energy crackled on his arm. "You'll excuse me... if I don't take your hand at the moment.... There seems to be too much 'electricity' between us...." Gulver chuckled weakly before groaning again in pain as he got up to his feet. His body slightly jerked everytime a jolt of energy flowed throughout his body, visible to everyone watching. Slwoly making his way up the hill toward Soul Reaver, every step seemed to become more stronger and forceful as if regaining strength.
ooc: Well, this isn't over by a long shot... but I'm back with Soul for now.... |

Tamrissa Roshan | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
Tamrissa follows behind Gulver, watching him cautiously. She frowns even more deeply as she senses and sees that something is bothering Fei. Silently stepping up beside him, she keeps her eyes straight ahead.
What happened? she questions in his mind. You may be able to try and hide it from the others, but you forget how closely I am linked to you.You'll not be able to fight like this. Her hand glows slightly as she brings it up to rest on Fei's elbow. She sends a burst of her magic through him. As soon as the warmth of the energy touches the wounds on his back, she hisses slightly and draws her hand away from his arm. Giving him wide, determined eyes, she waits for a response... |
|||
Unregistered(d) | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
Fei releases a mental sigh as Tamrissa approaches. "It's not that I knew you'd know... it's that I figured maybe it wouldn't bother you as much as it did... it's nothing to make a big deal of... I can fight fine." He mindspeaks to her.
As Tamrissa touches his elbow sending magic over him which touches the wound, Fei clenches his jaw in pain, closing his eyes, focusing on not losing it. "maybe it would be easier for me to just show you....... come with me." "We'll be back everyone... we have certain matters to discuss...." Fei speaks audibly to the others before reaching over and taking Tamrissa by the hand and disappearing in his usual fashion. Some distance Away, Fei reappears with Tamrissa, just at the edge of a forested area. "Here........" Fei unbuckles the belt around his midsection, pulling it off and dropping it to the side. Slowly, the bloodied overcoat comes off, falling to the ground with the belt. Turning around to face away from Tam, Fei clutches the bottom of his black, bloodstained shirt, clutching very tight in pain. Slowly the shirt comes up, sticking around the drying blood around the wounds. Large heaves of breath come from Fei's mouth as he bites his lips, squinting his eyes as the shirt unfolds over the 5 lashes on his back, each one a struggle within themselves. As Fei drops the black shirt, he leans forward, pressing his head against his arms that rest on the treeside, his hair pulled to the side to reveal the greavous wounds. The cuts look like cracked cement on his skin, flaking off into ash, disfiguring the areas around the cuts; the very gentle wind causing more flakes to peel from the dry, dead, ashing skin. The wind itself feels like someone stabbing him thousands of times with a silver dagger. The grey spots of skin around the bleeding cuts slowly spread across his back until covering most of it then slowly coming to a stop. Blood flows through the cracks, carrying them away, making the wounds even larger as they begin to expose tissue and bone. The grey spots closer to the immediate cuts turn directly to ash, forcing cracks across his bleeding back. "I am the damned child... The legacy of shame... Yet... I fight... I will continue in my fathers footsteps... whether I am accepted or not..."

Soul Reaver | Siege Wagon | ||
(ooc: Tamrissa, the Dark Legion don't wear helmets, or any kind of body-armour for that matter. If you'd like to see a picture of them, then you can look here. The Dark Legionnaires are the cloaked guys, obviously. :P)
Soul Reaver draws in a hissing breath through clenched teeth as Fei, Gulver, and Tamrissa are attacked by the four Dark Legionnaires appearing through the Warp Gates. He is torn between staying where he is and going to help. Zera's words to him only worry him more. Curses... I hardly feel comfortable with our fate in Zera's hands... Soul Reaver turns back to the battle below, still unsure what to do. Fortunately, with no reinforcements forthcoming, the Dark Legionnaires are eventually defeated, and Soul Reaver relaxes somewhat when he sees the warriors returning to his position. As they start walking up, Soul Reaver addresses Zera, hoping Thisias will be fully aware of his request as well. "Zera... or Thisias... I need to ask you to use your powers to aid us." He points over to the damaged siege-wagon nearby. The armour on the side bears a deep rent and one of its metal-plated wheels is smashed off. "I need you to use your powers to repair that siege wagon." He explains his plan to the others. "I have seen these devices before. That wagon is a Spirit-Engine, an inanimate object infused with a magically controlled soul. It is extremely resilient and can move very fast. If we remove the battering ram from within it, there will be enough room for us all to take refuge inside. Then, we should be able to drive it directly towards the citadel, smashing through the Dark Legion as we go. Hopefully we will be moving too fast for the Dark Legion to overwhelm us. It is certainly not a fool-proof plan... but it is better than wading into battle with hundreds of those Legionnaires." Blooddrinker cuckles audibly, to Soul Reaver's irritation, but the sword says nothing else. Soul Reaver turns back to Zera. "Can you do this?" |

Kawanua the Fallen Angel | Re: Siege Wagon | ||
Keseno watches the Dark legion warriors attack. He stands back quietly watching. Thoughts go through his mind like waves. Am i even able to put up a fight?
Whats wrong? you wanted carnage.... " I didn't expect this.... " well...you better keep an eye on things Keseno Walks down to Everyone else surveying the place, he ignores any glares and sly remarks anyone gives him. He sheeths shenba. He stands quietly trying to think what do to, eventually walking back up to the hill trying to figure out how to get there the quickest, hamrless way possible. From where he is it looks like where ever he looks theres the Dark legion and in other words a battle himself and the others will have to face |

Thisias uses Zera's eyes to see. The others can see them flash red for but a moment untill Thisias speaks into Zera's mind and the red flash goes away....
Yes... We can do this Zera... Thisias searches the mind of Fei quickly.... He finds nothing.... The vampire is innocent... Thisias cannot see while inside of Zera he can only hear. Taking controll of her eyes would cause an aneurysm. The process is simple, yet delicate and dangerous. "I am the damned child... The legacy of shame... Yet... I fight...

Tamrissa Roshan | Re: No Victory without a Plan | ||
"Fei, we shouldn't..." Tam's words are cut off abruptly as they disappear, when she reappears with him she lets out a sigh and finishes her sentence. "...leave."
She watches as he removes the clothing, brow etched with worry. Her eyes widen and she parts her lips in horror as he exposes the terrible gashes on his back. Reaching out her hands, her fingertips hover a breath away from his tormented flesh. She whispers in a quiet disgust, eyes tracing over the wounds. "By the Umbras, what is it? Is it possible for me to heal it?" Moving to his side, she brings a hand up to his arm, being careful not to make him move. "I refuse to let you go into battle like this. You will kill yourself. Tell me how to heal it." |
|||
Unregistered(d) | Re: Siege Wagon | ||
Zera nods at Soul, looking quite uncertain.
"Umm...apparantly he can do this. So...ummm...stand back?" She takes a few breaths and looks at the wagon, nothing really happening. The corner of her lip twists with deep concentration and one eyebrow lowers. Her arms cross and she continues to stare. Now what? |
