"Whatever it is I must know"
*Looks at the man walking away in the corner of his eyes*

"Once a similar person such as yourself was looking for a similar girl, but what had ensued after that was fairly disturbing, as soon as I mentioned that I had never seen her, he sat down at one of the tables. When someone had even looked at him oddly a part of them died, literally died. A leg, an arm, whatever he looked at with contempt, it suddenly decomposed. Now the thief that was encountered here earlier at this bar had a run in with this guy, he managed to steal a couple hundred wong off of him, but the moment he headed for the window, the man had just glared at his leg, then the leg disappeared, no, not disappeared, it was like an invisible mouth had eaten it."
All the while Kiyoshi, was worried for the fate of the one he was looking for, and decided to look for the thief so as to procure more information about the abilities of this dangerous man.

*bows to the bartender*
"thank you for the information, but it is time i must go"
*walks out the door to catch up to the theif*
suddenly a searing pain fills kiyoshi's head and he collapses to the ground.

Sai

*drops from the roof*

*carries the guy to an unknown location and ties him up*

*begins to wake up with blurred vision*
ugg, meh? Sa..Sarah, what are you doing here?
As his vision returns Kiyoshi finds himself talking to the lamp in the corner of the wall.
"damn," he muttered to himself as he began to study his surroundings.
"Well I'm tied up my swords in the corner and the only exit is the door great." he thought.

Sai

01-14-2008, 10:00:15 PM

"greetings. we have stuff to talk about."

*cloak appears from the dark room*

"you and I have similar goals. you search for the girl am i correct?"

he strolls to another side of the room

"and you want some info on that mysterious man aswell."

"i can help you with that, but..."

DarthHavoc

01-14-2008, 10:33:26 PM

mistert

01-15-2008, 02:27:06 AM

"but what?" Kiyoshi said glaring at the mysterious person before him.

Sai

01-15-2008, 09:21:52 AM

he continues to stroll along the shadows.

"that girl first went missing 3 weeks ago, how, no one knows. but why..."

he raises his left arm.

"she has an important role in this world. to be precise, the role of ending it."

he was flipping his arm, asthough examining it.

"she is the embodiment of the fallen God; Baal-Peor."

he steps out of the shadows and lowers his hood; his captive looks in shock as he sees the face of the mysterious being...

"now I ask, wanderer, why do you seek this girl?"

Mammon glares fiercefully at his captive.

DarthHavoc

01-15-2008, 03:39:08 PM

*arrives at the town just after sunset* huh i dont see anything helm you picking anything up?*nothing rogue my guess is everyone is asleep or...Gernade incomeing* *dives out of the way behinde a wall and peeks over the wall only to see an angry mob of people* guess they dont like strangers to bad they attacked first now they all die*procedes to begin fireing over the wall*

Sai

01-15-2008, 09:35:26 PM

suddenly looks to the side in disgust.

"hrm...i see. an insect has entered my territory."

he looks at his confused captive.

"we will soon meet again, traveller. till' then."

he flicks his fingers and fades out.

DarthHavoc

01-15-2008, 10:10:09 PM

Sai

01-15-2008, 10:14:13 PM

"what disturbances do you bring...?"appears behind rouge.

Mammon grabs his shoulders and throws him to the wall; then pinning him to the ground with his left foot.

"you have disturbed my domain. your fate is now sealed."

gold chains rise from the ground and envelop rouge, crushing him slightly as more ime passes.

DarthHavoc

01-15-2008, 10:49:44 PM

*rouge Rouge?* kinda busy gunnar your going to have to just wait on the ground*has bagman drop a micromine on the ground which detonates upon contact with the ground destroying the chains and sending rouge through the wall* dam that hurt bagman gimme a medpack*comeing up as a needle injects a healing solution walks over and grabs Gunnar* i dont know who you are but i know i cant take you down right now just wait ill get even with you*medles with the shadows befor disappering*

Sai

01-16-2008, 12:22:49 AM

hmpf.

"you have been warned mortal."

"Prepare my people, the foolish one seeks to return."Mammon told his people.

he flicks his fingers and fades away.

DarthHavoc

01-16-2008, 12:31:32 AM

mistert

01-17-2008, 09:54:06 PM

*squirms around a bit fiddling with the knots until kiyoshi frees himself*
"who the hell was that," he asked himself as he grabbed his sword and set forth to find the girl.
"and what did that guy mean fallen god?"

Sai

01-17-2008, 10:08:35 PM

Mammon appears at a dark misty corridor.

He strolls through the darkness and arrives in front of a huge gate covered in red and black liquid.

"It is time to act. Ball-Peor is naught to be found and the night of the red moon is to come soon."He said, staring at the gate.

"Argghh...!"

Mammon flicks his fingers and the gate opens with a loud clang.

"Let us begin."He said as he strolls away, taking a final look at his brother.

"Berzebub."

DarthHavoc

01-18-2008, 12:45:37 AM

*stands up and streachs* well that helped lets get going the sooner we reach that town the better i dont feel like faceing that guy head on in his own element*walks off towrds the further town constaly scaning the horizin for any signs of trouble or otherwise*

mistert

01-18-2008, 05:05:40 AM

*jumps from light pole onto Mammon and pins him down*
"You aren't going anywhere until you answer me some questions," Kiyoshi said, drawing a dagger to Mammons neck.
"first, what do you want with Sarah?"

Taelus

01-18-2008, 10:52:11 PM

A wicked grin spread across Mammon's face.
"Aren't we full of surprises. I'm curious child," Mammon said as he pushed himself up and the dagger slid into a section of his neck without the man even flinching or slowing, "what exactly were you planning to do once you shoved this useless thing in me?"

Kiyoshi's startled look faded as he swallowed hard, wondering what he could possibly do from here.

DarthHavoc

01-19-2008, 12:53:55 AM

*notices two people up ahead and quickly ducks behinde a tree looking through the sniper scope*helm can you hear anything there saying?*not much rouge all i heard was the one with the dagger wants answers to some questions maybe he can help us against the guy who attacked us earlier?* maybe lets see what happens first.

Sai

01-19-2008, 02:47:12 AM

(taelus is controlling my character.)
(Sai is not Amused.)
(ignorethat.)

Mammon grins as he senses Behemoth, his 'fake' being attacked.

Don't tell him yet, I am to come, now.He said to Behemoth.

"Head for my village Berzebub, they shall enlighten you of the status quo."He says as they reach the other end of the dark corridor and he once again flicks his fingers.

"Graw...r..!"Berzebub replies.

Mammon disappears and Bezebub proceeds to destroy the gate leading to the outskirts of the village.

DarthHavoc

01-19-2008, 02:48:05 AM

(shall i kill him for you sai?)
*continues to watch debateing to take a shot to help the person who attacked the other*

mistert

01-19-2008, 05:03:08 AM

Kiyoshi suddenly realized what he was up against.
"So you can't be phsyically injured, eh?" Kiyoshi stated calmly. "Well then try this on for size!"
*kiyoshi grabs what appears to be a plain wooden stick and waves his hand across the lenght of the stick causing it to glow. He then stabs the stick into Mammon's leg sending a shock throughout Mammon's body paralyzing him in place*
"now answer the question, what do you want with Sarah!?"

Sai

01-19-2008, 08:48:53 AM

Mammon suddenly appears kiyoshi

"As I have said, mortal, she is the embodiment of Baal-Peor."Mammon said, lightly grabbing kiyoshi's shoulder, pulling him away from Behemoth.

"She is the remains of Baal-Peor. Before his fall, Baal-Peor injected his remaining powers to her."He raises his hands as he explains.

"During her birth; she was a weak a baby, did you know this?"He said, slightly titlting his raised hood.

"Baal-Peor, as evil as he may seem, saw loss at her death, and seeing as he was to die his next battle, he passed half his powers to her..."Mammon takes out a red jewel with his left hand.

"...and this is the reaminder of his power. this is what the enemy seeks, if they are able to infuse this within her, they can extact her power."He passes the jewel to kiyoshi.

DarthHavoc

01-19-2008, 01:31:16 PM

*rouge you getting all this?* yeah helm im hearing it thanks to you so now we have some names as well as another lead but we still should check the village but lets just see if this attacker needs any help or not.

Sai

01-19-2008, 03:22:10 PM

Mammon suddenly disappears.

"I suggest you leave Object. you are of no concern in this, as you have no connection to this matters. Unless......"He says as he appears infront of rouge.

"What purpose do you have, Object of man?"A dark grin is seen from beyond Mammon's hood.

mistert

01-19-2008, 04:04:49 PM

"Sarah..." Kiyoshi managed to stutter to himself as he stared at the Jewel, "where are you?"
Kiyoshi flipped up his hood and walked back down the alley.

Taelus

01-19-2008, 05:35:24 PM

(Ack! Sorry Sai, I wasn't paying attention)

A man with wavy black hair, silver streaks running through it leans against the wall in the alley Kiyoshi walks down. His pants are loose fitting and white with a blue stripe running down the sides and his matching white coat hangs open at the front, a black shirt underneath. A single sheathed blade hangs low from his left hip. His left foot against the wall where he's leaning, the man's head is down but there's a slight smile on his face. As he looks up at Kiyoshi, his bright blue eyes shine and his hair shifts giving the glimmer of some kind of earing on his left ear. The stranger smiles at Kiyoshi over his folded arms.

"So, looking for *that* girl are we?"

mistert

01-19-2008, 05:44:43 PM

Kiyoshi stopped in his tracks and turned his head to the man, his amber eyes leering at him.
"You know where she is?" He asked, slowly reaching for his sword.

Sai

01-19-2008, 07:15:40 PM

--Meanwhile--

Berzebub roars as he enters the town gates, he smashes a part of the ground to signal his presence to his brethrens people.

"RAWR>!>!>!>!>!>"He roars in a strange manner, as the village head aproaches him.

"What is it that you wish for Ba`al?"The Old man wearing a dark blue cloak asks.

(ti's telepathy)
"I was sent here as aid in futher attacks, explain the current situation."The beast transmitted to the elder.

"Ah, I see, a Humanoid of some sort has attacked town about an hour back; it is suspected that he may attempt again. his goal is unknown, however, the 'Gate' must be protected at all costs."The old man answers.

"Grawr...!"Berzebub growls as he enters the village and climbs the viewing tower.

Taelus

01-19-2008, 08:22:03 PM

--Back in the alley--

The vagabond noted Kiyoshi's hand and just raised an eyebrow.

"You know, if you're out to save this girl, you might want to avoid threatening everyone who might help you." The man unfolded his hands and shrugged, "Or maybe that's just my way of doing things. If that doesn't match your approach, then consider for a moment."

The man's hands came back down to his side, slipping casually into his pants pockets, his smile never fading "You might be better than me with that thing blade, or you might not. What I know for certain is that if you attack me, you'll never gain whatever help or information I might have offered. Even more than that, I think even you can tell you're not so much better than me that you'd come away without injury, and you might just die if you're unlucky. Now you tell me, is that going to help this girl you care so much about?"

DarthHavoc

01-19-2008, 08:29:05 PM

*jumps back* i dont know who or what the hell you are but i do know that you can easily overpower me my reasons at this point are my own but they will become clear once i learn more about this girl and why everyone is looking for her*meldes into the shadows once more eyes burning like small stars before once again disappering*i dont get it how did that guy know what i looked like i make sure to conceal myself even when we stop for a rest wait the old man at the prvious town thats it*quickly makes his way back towrds the previous town remaing in the shadows so as not to be seen.

Taelus

01-19-2008, 10:46:25 PM

The man's cold, ble eyes opened slightly as his ears caught the sound of voices in the distance. He kicked lightly off the wall and was standing chest to chest with Kiyoshi, his palm over Kiyoshi's sword hilt before the blade could be drawn out, preventing a fight between the two. His head near Kiyoshi's he whispered, "On second thought, it would seem you attract the kind of attention that merits a ready swordhand. I'm sure you've noticed it too, so how about we retire to a location a bit less...crowded?"

mistert

01-19-2008, 10:47:50 PM

Kiyoshi drops his hand from his sword, "very well, please tell me what you know and we can go on from there"

Taelus

01-19-2008, 10:59:35 PM

The man smiled and removed his hand as he led the two farther down the alley, away from the voices of their observers.

"How about introductions first eh? I'm Magokoro."

Sai

01-19-2008, 11:01:46 PM

"Heh. weak being."Mammon grins as he covers his arm by extending his sleeves.

"And now, to deal with the them."A flipping sound is heard and Mammon disappears from sight.

Mammon is sent to a dark location; outside a mansion full of white fog, it's gates as tall as a house, garden as large as a school.

"So this is where you are eh? no matter; now that he has the jewel, I can avail full use of my powers."He takes a gold coin from his pocket and starts playing it with his left hand as he approaches near the gate.

"In any case, if that man is who I think he is, he will soon lead the traveller in this very place. Interesting turn of events indeed."He flips the gold coin towards the gate and a void suddenly swallows it whole.

"onto to the stage of destruction!"

Taelus

01-20-2008, 12:04:31 AM

(Hey Sai, when you tossed out "if that man is who I think he is" did you mean my gent? I just need to know so that I can play alongside your story hooks)

Sai

01-20-2008, 12:29:05 AM

(yes. but since this is an rp, you do what you want.)

mistert

01-20-2008, 05:17:53 AM

"Well Magokoro, my name is Kiyoshi," Kiyoshi said as he pocketed the jewel, "now that the introductions are over lets get on to the task at hand.. but in a place a bit more private."
Kiyoshi slapped his hands together and in a rush of energy he and Magokoro teleported to a distant forest all to familiar to Kiyoshi. It was the place where he and ...her had first met many years ago.

Sai

01-20-2008, 05:39:40 AM

Mammon proceeds to enter the now gateless mansion.

"Gravity is high eh?"He whispers to himself as everything suddenly starts feeling heavier.

"Groan..."Voices are heard, and skeletons appear from the ground.

"Ah, The master of this mansion is fucking with me."Mammon declares as he grabs a skull and crushes it

An explosion occurs, Mammon is thrown to the gate walls.

*Thud*"Fuck, so that's why."Mammon smirks as he takes a silver coin from his pocket and flings it upwards.

A glow of light envelops everything.

Cross Clown

01-20-2008, 06:00:57 AM

*Out of the glow of light comes a mysterious soldier from another planet*
"Ugh, where is this place? Argh, my head!..."
*The soldier faints*

Taelus

01-20-2008, 06:13:58 AM

"Great, more magic...why can't people just be happy to walk somewhere anymore..." Magokoro mumbled while brushing himself off as if to remove the feel of the magic. Satisfied that he was only doing normal work again, he turned that same partial smile back on.

"Right, so you're looking for the lady being hunted and called all manner of things like, 'The Vessel of Baal' and 'The Chosen One' and so forth? And you call her Sarah?" Magokoro continued on knowing the questions were rhetorical, "To be honest, I can't tell you where she is right now, sorry." Kiyoshi seemed to lose a bit of hope with that admission, but Magokoro just smirked.

"Now, on the other hand, I do know a place that might have what we need to find her." Kiyoshi seemed to light up again but Magokoro held up a hand, "Hang on there friend. If it were that simple, I'd have just gone myself and taken care of it. The place is dangerous in ways I really don't understand. People who use magic run into all kinds of trouble in there unless they're some kind of demigod and even then the place is pretty rough. I'll gladly join up with you to get in and find what we need about your girlfriend or sister or whatever, but to be honest Kiyoshi, we're going to need help. I'd say we could just pester some local about it, but with magic going goofy in there and everything else out to kill us, we're going to need some pretty skilled help, and not in the form of a wizard. If you have any idea where we could find that kind of help, now'd be a good time to mention it."

<EDIT to account for Cross's post>

Magokoro catches the man as he falls and looks up at Kiyoshi cynically, "This weirdness is going to be a thing around you isn't it?"

Sai

01-20-2008, 06:46:17 AM

(i now announce that Cross' post has no connection to mine. since he is now in Taelus' arms.)

As darkness returns to the mansion garden; a Light colored Bow decorated with 3 green jewels by the handle appears before mammon.

"So, The Seven Petals eh? sounds good."Mammon grabs the Bow and slashes it through the air leaving cherry petals on it's trail.

Mammon grabs a petal and fires it a incoming enemy.

"damn, i missed this rapidity."He starts shooting at an exponentially fast rate.

DarthHavoc

01-20-2008, 05:25:20 PM

*reaches the previous town and gets in with no troube remainins in the shadows moving slowly and quietly towrds his intended target* the old man who sold me out should be around here somewhere and once i find him if he knows anything about this girl i will make him tell me and if the info he gives me is any good ill let him live unless he sells me out again*ive got him rouge second house on the right ive done a few scans no alarm systems but hes got quite the sword collection*thanks helm come on guys lets go pay this guy a vist*slips in through an open window and sneaks up behinde the man pulls out combat knife and holds it to the mans throat*hello old timer rember me? now then your going to tell me why you sold me out and why everyone is so intrested in finding this girl and i will let you live got it?

Sai

01-20-2008, 10:42:52 PM

The old man suddenly had a knife in his throat.

"Ah. So you came eh? I was expecting you."He said as he pushed the tip of the blade away from his neck.

"You shouldn't point such things to elders, no?"He starts to head for the shelves and and takes out a book.

"This ought to give you a breif undersanding of who she is."He passes the assaulter the book and sits on his chair.

(bah. don't add info yet. let's just say the book contains her name and everything we've discussed in the previous posts.)

mistert

01-21-2008, 12:13:12 AM

Kiyosi looked around the room and then to the book.
"this is our only lead to her," he thought to himself.
As he reached for the book an axe suddenly burst through the window and wedged itself neatly into the wall. Before everyone could react a group of strange creatures burst into the room and began to attack everyone. With everyone distracted another of the creatures came from behind and took the book.

Taelus

01-21-2008, 12:30:23 AM

Magokoro looked around wondering why he hadn't noticed their shift into the mansion. When the creatures broke through and came for everyone, he interposed himself between them and the unconscious man, his sword clearing the sheath in one fluid arc through the first creature. Given a split second to assess them, he noted the ashen, almost chitinous skin broken up only by deep veins that gave off an eerie red-orange light. His defensive mind sent his eyes from the sharp ears almost resembling horns on the tops of their heads to the razor sharp 6-digit claws they had for hands. Lastly, he noted their feet also came to claws, but that was all the time he had before more of them were on him.

As the chaos of combat broke through the room, Magokoro yelled over at Kiyoshi, "You know, when I asked if this was going to be a thing with you, I didn't mean you had to answer like this!"

DarthHavoc

01-21-2008, 01:35:29 AM

Hmm doesnt help much but at least we have a name to go by i still want to know why all these people are searching for her*slips back out the window in all the chaos* so now we need to find someone who knows why all these people are looking for her any lead helm?*none so far if we could find another terminal for me to hack i might be able to dig up someone who knows something besides her name* well then lets make that a top priority for right now*walks around trying to find a computer terminal hides in the shadows so as not to be seen just in case*

mistert

01-21-2008, 06:00:27 AM

Kiyoshi made a mad dash after the creature carrying the book. He sliced his way through a barrier of the strange creatures only to be met up by the Ashen itself. Kiyoshi charged the Ashen in a fit of rage only to be stopped dead in his tracks... he starred down at his abdomen to see the claws had hit their mark. The Ashen stared down at Kiyoshi with what appeared to be an evil sneer and quickly pulled its claws out from kiyoshi. Darkness consumed him as he began to cough up blood, then he was in a familiar place again. But something was different, something wasn't right. It was the forest where he first met Sarah, but everything was grey. The birds didn't chirp and the soft breeze was gone. Then out from the tree's came a fuzzy figure of a girl and kiyoshi's eyes widened.

Cross Clown

01-21-2008, 06:09:48 AM

The soldier that had come from the light had awoken when Magokoro was not looking, confused he was startled at his surroundings when he saw a creature stab a person. Angered by some unknown force, he took the gun in his holster and shot with the energy level to the max.
The resulting shot rang out of nowhere, giving the Ashen a large hole in its abdomen, saving Kiyoshi.
"Even if I do not know you, even though I don't know who I am, I will not let the people in front of me die. As the only thing that I remember is that I serve others!"
He then runs to the fallen person, noticing that he was on the brink of death. All the soldier could remember was how to fight and it seemed sufficient up until now. Then a small voice had popped into his mind, "Use me! Hurry! There's no time to waste"
A fairylike creature that seemed to be of electronic origin had appeared in front of him.
"What are you doing! Hurry it up!"
The soldier desperate to use anything had grabbed the cyber fairy and pushed it to the wound. As it was taking the fallen from the brink of death, it was slowly disappearing.
"You... you're dying!", said the soldier with unbelief in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I was made for this, besides all this person needs to remember is that I saved him. As long as he remembers me, I never truly die. It's the same for you, right Ta.." The electro-wonder had now disappeared and the one that almost visited hell, had come back.

Sai

01-21-2008, 09:00:05 AM

(My mind is running right-side up due to so much happening.)
(are you people skimming this? we are lacking continuity.)

"Fuck, too many of these things pop up."Mammon exclaims. More skeletons crawl out each time a couple falls. He slashes his bow through the air and produces more petals.

"exit, find exit."He whispers to himself. Then something crosses his mind- "Fuck...!"He suddenly realized his position.

"you got me there then."He takes a petal and strikes his right arm, everything goes black for an instant. as the darkness fades; a small creature wearing a brown robe with a knife and lantern was revealed. It's stare burning with rage.

Taelus

01-21-2008, 09:29:25 AM

(I had the same thought Sai, but I'm just trying to run with it)

Magokoro saw Kiyoshi struck, but too late to intervene. So many of these creatures had appeared from nowhere and their numbers didn't seem to be dwindling. Magokoro started looking for a way out when the strange soldier intervened and shot down the creature that had taken on Kiyoshi. Even with this new addition, there remained the image of the robed man. Magokoro quickly slashed the creatures in his immediate area and turned to stare at the man in the robes. Something about the dark figure was bothering the old swordsman, but he couldn't figure out why. Magokoro's blade flashed again through the air, taking down a pair of nearby demons as he walked toward the robed figure. As he did, the figure pulled out the petal and used it. Magokoro's eyes turned to see the newly summoned creature and went wide.

"It's not possible...Only one man ever mastered the use of this magic, and it's impossible for him to still be alive...it's just impossible.

Sai

Beelzebub: Gluttony[/COLOR]
Mammon: Greed
Belphegor: Sloth
Satan (or Gaap): Wrath
Leviathan: Envy
Lucifer: Pride

asmodeus looks promising. oh well; a suggestion anyway.
reds are taken.]

"Leviathan..[I]!"He gasped, Mammon was taken aback by the shocking turn of events; the peices were slowly falling to place.

"So it was you, huh? Vengeful as always are we?"Mammon reclaims his calm stance and starts juggling a red coin through his fingers.

"Diiieee............s"said the best; seemingly consumed by vengeance, it's peircing glare unwaveringly staring straight at Mammon's eyes.

mistert

01-21-2008, 04:53:55 PM

Everything started to disappear as the light began to return. Kiyoshi opened his eyes to see a soldier standing over him.

"Remember that a certain being had saved you, and don't you ever forget" , The soldier was looking at Kiyoshi with just but a little sadness. "Now, let's go rid this place of these monsters!"

As Kiyoshi reached for his sword he could not help but think of the girl he saw in the forest. It couldn't of been her, could it? But there was the pressing issue of the demons attacking so he would have to contimplate what he saw later.

(Admittedly, I'm a little confused at this point on where everyone is, so I'm going to blatantly assume everyone's caught up in the same battle since that's what several folks are running with (well, Rogue and Helm left). If anyone needs to veto, let me know and I'll rewrite as necessary.)

Edited for continuity of story

Magokoro's teeth clenched in barely suppressed anger at seeing them still alive after all they've done...'no, all we've done' he wrathfully corrected himself. The vagabond's eyes seemed to darken from that shining blue, coming to a near black then rushing to a bright red, still streaked through with black. The group of creatures closest to him all jumped to pile on him and tear him apart. Magokoro bent down for just a moment and clicked his ring against the blade of his sword before spinning faster than a human eye could see. A *crack* sound emitted and the creatures flew back in pieces, driven by the sonic boom the lightning fast blade generated. His eyes focused on the two, one calm, one bestial, and he walked purposefully toward them. Before he had taken even two steps, the pair vanished and Magokoro growled in anger. Never even looking at the creatures who leapt his way the blade in his hand flashed out and struck them down. Those with keen ability to observe could see his blood dripping from his hand, although no wound on the outside was visible. Magokoro walked purposefully toward Kiyoshi and the soldier.

[Remnants Manor. that should sound right.]
[fuck ama lamia's boredom is getting to me.]

The air was heavy; the distance between the gate and Mammon seems to rise.
"I am here for the girl wrath; i do not wish to inflict harm any further. MOVE...!"Mammon glares back at the unwavering Leviathan.
"I see."Mammon flips a blue coin and lets it fall to the ground.
"Tails, what luck."He declare, the coin suddenly envelops the sorrounding area in a dark shade; locking everything in place.

"A shield has been prepared huh? Even a barrier by the gate too. at the least, I can buy some time., till someone actually arrives."Mammon takes another blue coin and starts juggling it through his left fingers.

Magokoro made it over to the pair as the creatures closed in around them. He looked to Kiyoshi and said simply, "They've gone where we need to go. I can get you there, but I won't be much good for very long after." Then Magokoro turned to the soldier and smiled a little, though it wasn't very helpful given the rage in his eyes, "I'm sorry friend, but it looks like you're going to be wrapped up in this for a while longer. I can't leave you here to fight these alone."

With that, Magokoro tapped his ring against his sword again and swung an arc through the nearest of the approaching creatures, blowing them apart, but also blasting a hole in the wall. More of his blood fell to the ground and he winced in pain. Using his off arm, Magokoro tossed the recovering Kiyoshi over his left shoulder and then held the soldier tightly. "Hold on as tight as you can. This might feel a little strange."

Magokoro ran for the hole in the wall and jumped to the ground, then pushed off with amazing force in a new direction, launching the three through the air at incredible speed. They could hear the bones in his legs crack a little with the strain and a muffled yelp from the man carrying them. They arced through the air for a distance unknown before coming back through the clouds to see a large manor, surrounded by some kind of black shell. Magokoro tapped his sword against a bit of metal on the soldier and then arced toward the shell where they were falling. That same crack was heard again and a gash appeared in the black barrier as they fell through it. Magokoro slammed his sword into the side of the outer wall, slowing them just enough for him to land them safely, if roughly, in front of that same robed man from before.

This time, the crack from one of Magokoro's legs was more pronounced and he fell to a knee, catching himself with his hand. The vagabond coughed up a little blood and looked sideways at Kiyoshi, "Alright kid, I did my bit. Now it's your turn. The answers you seek are in that place." Magokoro shifted and sat down hard against the wall, blood coming from his sword hand in a steady stream as he closed his eyes and put his head back against the brick for just a moment.

"A little bit more..."Mammon continues juggling the blue coin within his fingertips, waiting endlessly at the colorless world; awaiting the arrival of the others.

"Finally. they are here; a bit more and this concerto shall soon end."He palms the blue coin and prepares to resume his frozen battle.

"Now."He flips the coin towards the gate as soon as the others arrive. the coin starts glowing and time releases the mansion from it's frozen grip.

Magokoro looked back forward at his old masters, too weakened from the blood loss to truly continue his anger. He had little time before the sword bled him dry and he knew it. He gritted his teeth and let go of the blade's hilt. The soldier, already looking at the injured man, noted the barbs covered in blood on the hilt. They were visible for just the briefest moment but the soldier still caught it and saw the cuts in Magokoro's palm where it had pierced him. Magokoro saw the look on the soldier's face and smiled weakly.

"You're wondering what that's all about I take it?" The soldier nodded and Magokoro took in a careful breath.

"I suppose I owe you that much since you've been drug into this and your life's on the line. Unlike many in this world, I don't have any kind of magic or power. My old masters," he inclined his head toward Mammon, "decided that for all my training and time mastering my blade, without some kind of power I would eventually fail out. More, they knew I don't believe in the use of magic or power. I will act on skill, and skill alone. To correct this 'shortcoming', they gave me Shi here." He nodded down at his blade. The sword was forged with a chemical inside that, when combined with blood, can be put into a person to vastly increase their muscle structure. It's damaging, but for as long as the chemical is in me, I can move like you've seen. As their servant...their hunting dog really...the blade was originally designed to take the blood from the people it sliced into. Then, the needles injected it into my system. It uses some of the blood to fuel itself so that it can push the infusion, so it fit into my beliefs about power and magic. As you may have noticed," Magokoro indicated his broken leg, "it doesn't increase anything but muscle strength. I've learned how to absorb a lot of the strain to prevent breaks, but jumping with the extra load was more than I could handle."

Magokoro's eyes seemed to suddenly be far off, like he was watching something in the air that only he could see and it saddened him, but he continued, "I did some horrible things, but one was worse than the rest and I left them shortly after. I have to make up for what I've done, and since I wasn't willing to continue killing for the increased abilities, I had an old friend change the blade so that it can only pull blood from me. As a result, I can only keep it up for so long. I used to be able to go for a lot longer, but I haven't used that ability in years and I think I'm out of practice."

Magokoro chuckled to himself and ended up coughing, a little blood coming to his lips. "Anyway friend, you'd best be careful here. The people involved in this were supposed to be dead, and if they're not, then they've become even more powerful than I remember...and that's really saying something. Just try to stay alive alright?"

Magokoro patted the soldier once on the foot and then shifted his attention to his broken leg, letting the battle go on in whatever way it would.

"Even if you have to carry this horrid thing, even if you have done horrible things in the past, in the place of all the people that you have done wrong to, I forgive you. Therefore I cannot let you die here!"
The soldier said this with conviction and faith, his eyes were with the determination to not let anyone die. With some leverage, he managed to carry Magokoro to a nearby shelter.

Magokoro looked up at the voice, finally snapping out of the mental wanderings produced by the passionate speech of this solder. He released the hilt of his sword and raised his hands up, smiling.

"My friend here," the injured vagabond said while indicating the soldier, "was kind enough to take care of me. Now that I think on it, we probably could have chosen better shelter than a shed given we're looking for cover against attacks from people who can level city blocks."

The last bit was said with a wry smirk on his face, but it quickly changed to a genuine smile for the soldier. Magokoro turned his attention back to the doorway, "You know, I doubt I could stop you in my condition, though it's not as bad as it looks." Magokoro looked himself over as if to check his injuries, "Yup, just a broken femur and some internal bleeding, but nothing mortal. That said, if you'd be willing to keep an eye on my friend here to make sure he doesn't get killed, I'd be very much obliged."

Magokoro pulled out a pouch obviously holding coins and held it up as an offer.

Magokoro picked up the syringe and looked at it for the barest of moments. Then shrugged and, saying "So long as it's not magic", stabbed the needle into his leg near the broken bone. Though he had no idea what propelled the healing agent, he could feel his bone knitting back together and, within a few moments, he was able to put weight on it again.

He looked up, obviously impressed. "Thanks gents. Now, if we're all feeling a bit better, I'd imagine Kiyoshi could do with some help. I somehow doubt he's keeping his head in this fight. He seems to lose the ability to think straight whenever that girl is involved, and we really can't have him dying and damning the world anytime soon...I haven't had a chance to try brewing my own drinks."

With that last line the smile the vagabond always wore had returned and he patted the soldier on the shoulder, "What say we kick some bad guys in the teeth?"

A shock wave from near the mansion blows the glass inward, burying tiny bits of it in everyone's clothing and for some, generates small cuts. Magokoro pulls his arm down from it's position protecting his face.

"Oh, I don't think we have all that far to look. Kiyoshi's right out there with those other two. I imagine that three man dance is going to become a two man dance very soon if we don't get out there." Magokoro's eyes were focused through the wall, as if observing the combatants without even seeing them.

"At any rate," he said, standing back up and brushing glass out of his overcoat, "I have business with them that needs closing." With that Magokoro walked for the door and opened it to see the battle raging near the mansion, then braced himself for what he knew was coming soon.

Magokoro shakes his head at the newcomer as he flies out. "Always with the magic," he mumbles to himself. Looking out after the serpent Magokoro's eyes go wide. He takes off for the place the three men were standing yelling, "No! Don't! Kiyoshi's with us!"

He ran out too late and came up on the ashes of the three. Mammon, Kiyoshi, and even the old master they fought were gone. Magokoro couldn't help but wonder what Mammon was thinking now. "After all," Magokoro thought to himself, "this isn't exactly the first time he's had people thinking he was dead."

Magokoro scratched his head looking around at the two new gents he'd met in the last fice minutes and then at the soldier who'd fallen in on him and realized he considered that man and Kiyoshi his long time companions since, as opposed to five minutes, he'd known them for the better part of an hour. The thought made him chuckle. He moved over to Ranah and took Kiyoshi from him, examining his friend's injuries. He seemed to be unconscious with significant, but not life threatening damage. Magokoro went to lay him down and call over to Rogue when he felt Kiyoshi's body move as he lay him down. Magokoro touched a few places on the still unconscious man's back and then squinted his eyes a bit.

"Well, it's not Kiyoshi's body, but it sure looks a hell of a lot like it." Magokoro indicated a spot on the back of the body near the spine, "Whoever this is, he can't be Kiyoshi because his body wouldn't be able to pull two of the strikes we saw in the fight prior to this one. Why someone wanted us to think he was alive but unconscious is beyond me. Still," Magokoro stood up while dusting his hands off, "no use waiting or searching for him. If he's alive the only clues we might find are either in their or going to come for us and if he's dead, then the people who need to pay for that are the same."

<OOC: I'm writing Kiyoshi out like this until mistert returns so that way we don't hinge on his interactions. He can write himself back in with flare and drama should he come back.>

Magokoro looked at Rogue and Ranah, "Well, if I were a realist, I'd probably say stuff you both and drag my friend here" indicating the Soldier with a nod of his head," into that mansion, likely to our deaths. So either you're here to spy on us and possibly kill us, which would pretty much ruin my day, or you're not and we can all go get killed together." A smile spread on Magokoro's face, "But like I said, that's how a realist thinks. I'm an optimist and I say we're going to go in there allies and leave friends, possibly blowing the place to hell in the process." Magokoro turned to walk to toward the mansion.

"Oh," Magokoro stopped himself and looked back at Ranah, "you'll want to keep an especially close eye out. While Mammon doesn't have the habit of holding grudges when people light him on fire, Leviathan does and he can be quiet and quick for something so hideous looking. Just a heads up. Now, if you gents are ready?"

"This feeling! This unmistakable feeling! He's here!"

Not understanding his own words, the soldier had left his friend and charged into Ranah in an effort to kill him, with feral behavior he begins to bring an energy sword hidden inside his leg.

"I will kill you! I will never forget you! NEVER!"

With this outrageous statement, he is held down and suppressed by Magokoro.

Then as if what he did never happened, he is left with a blank stare. With a certain electronic spark in his ice-blue eyes, as if in a dream of emptiness and contempt.

"Are you there?"

About 10 yards away from where the group of men stood, a shadowy figure peered around the corner of the dense hedge that surrounded the manor. Sporting a thick, dark gray hooded cloak, all of the wearer's features were hidden, save for their height of about 5' 2".
Curiosity had gotten the best of them, having heard all the commotion of the battle while the new comer had been searching through a nearby thicket for medicinal herbs. The figure leaned a bit more out from behind the hedge, trying their hardest to make out bits of the conversation.

((OOC: I'm sorry if this causes any continuity issues. Yes, I read through the rest of the RP but I'm still a little in the dark as to where exactly everyone is at the moment. Please let me know if it does and I'll be sure to edit it to remedy the problems.))

The soldier, with his eyes still giving off that electric spark, was once again a blank slate. The sudden memories of his home in another dimension flooded his mind, in an instant, those memories, the field of flowers, his wife, his children, especially his new-born were all burned away, and only a figure stood before them. Ranah.

"Are you there?"

A voice was heard throughout his mind. It invaded it, and violated his very existence until none of those memories surfaced.

Magokoro's eyebrow was still raised at the interactions over this young soldier. The vagabond considered the dangers, but the look in the eyes of both men, while intense, was not sinister. So, one hand resting casually in his overcoat pocket, Magokoro shrugged.

"Seems to me gents, maybe there's some history between the two of you. Now, I know it's hypocritical of me to say you shouldn't act on it given my issues with those two nasties slugging it out earlier, but oh well, the world's full of hypocrisy." Magokoro looked harder at them and as if to emphasize his next words, the natural sounds around them died down for just a few moments.

"The place we're walking into is built to kill people like us. We'll have to watch our backs the whole time we're in there and if we're watching for one of the people traveling with us, we'll probably all get killed." That old knowing grin of his spread across his face again, "We have to stick together and trust each other because no matter how we got here, we're here now and so that's the only choice," Magokoro's voice raised slightly for the last mark, "Isn't that right stranger?"

The vagabond's eyes tilted to stare directly at the short figure near the hedge, directing all attention to the next strange addition to their menagerie of mis-fortunates.

(OOC: You did it fine Irisu. Your character's in the right place...well, the wrong place given the way the story is leaning, but the correct place to interact at least :-) )

The figure stiffened, their head hanging for a brief moment as if chiding themselves for being noticed. When the head lifted, anyone that was watching could see that the newcomer's attention was shifting between the man who spotted them and the tension that was building between two others.
"R-right," The hood bent down in a quick nod in time with the soft response. Shivering a bit, a pale slender hand reached out of the cloak and pulled the garment tighter about the person's frame. Tugging on the cloak caused the hood to slip back a bit and revealed the lower portion of their face.
It was now obvious that the person was female, not to mention nervous. She was chewing on her full bottom lip as she took a small step back. "Please forgive me...for intruding...I just heard some noise and talking on my way back to the village..."

"Well, come on then," the vagabond's smile widened, "we don't bite. Well, Helm might, I'm still not sure if he has teeth though..." A chuckle followed the smile as Magokoro waved the thin figure onward.

"Ah," Magokoro noted as her hood slipped a little, "you're a lady then. I'm sorry for that. The mansion is lethal, but getting hit on my a group of over-inflated egotists is far worse."

"Why am I not surprised." Mammon turns around and swings a silver dagger towards his left cheek, blocking a thrust from Leviathan.
"Slow. Too slow. they are taking things too leniently." Mammon thought to himself as he continues to block Leviathan's trusts.
"Very well. I shall proceed by my own." Mammon shifts his grip to fronthand and proceeds to slash at his opponent.

My, my. It's getting crowded here. Well, don't be so shy, You could introduce yourself. I am Ranah, the fire elementalist. You can accompany us, we'll help you return home later. However, now we must go inside, so keep an eye out. It would also be great if you had some magic powers, especially one that can be used in offence.

"Sorry? That I'm a girl?," She parroted, her hands slipping out from beneath the cloak to push back the hood entirely. She had dark auburn wavy hair that flowed down underneath her cloak and chin length bangs. Chewing on her bottom lip again, her cobalt eyes looked the rogue for a bit more of an explanation.
Her attention was drawn away by the grinning man's introduction. "Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Marlena. But I'm afraid that all I have is my satchel of herbs I just gathered and this." She reached beneath the cloak and retrieved the toothed sickle that hung from a thick leather cord that was slung over one shoulder.

The eyes, those eyes that seemed to hold a dreaming demon on the plutonium shore, did not understand a word that Ranah had said, with his memories, once again erased, he couldn't understand why this person had wanted to settle something that the soldier did not know about.

Irisu

02-11-2008, 01:24:35 PM

"Will do,"Marlena nodded, then looked at the pistol that was placed into her hands before giving Rouge a concerned look. " But if I have this then what will you use for your own defense?"
With a sigh, she slipped the strap of her toothed sickle back over her shoulder and looked at the group, wondering what she should do next.

Well, we should get going. As for that thing your helm detected, I've noticed it too. However, I don't like it's aura. It could be Mammon and Leviathan, but I'm not sure - the aura is kinda unstable. Perhaps we should avoid contact with that... Whatever the thing is.

Magokoro sighed and shook his head a little. He looked back up at Marlena and then at the others.

"You know gents, not everything in there is something we can beat up to get through. The deadliest bits are going to be hidden from view and near impossible to pick out. So why waste our best chance at getting by those?" Magokoro pointed a thumb back at Marlena, "She's already said she's an herbalist by trade. Her eyes pick out the most miniscule details in moments and without her having to try, or so I'd guess. The fact that she happened by means we might actually survive this thing. Still, you're right about needing to get going."

Magokoro turned for the gate and walked just inside, waving the others to follow him along. His hands had returned to his pockets and his stroll was easy as if nothing in the world could possibly be wrong. The habit had made many people think him insane and he smiled to himself wondering if that was still the case while whistling his way toward the doors.

*Ranah followed Magokoro with a grin; he really liked this man's attitude, but the aura he sensed earlier scared him a bit*
<I have to focus now. My goal is nearly in my grasp - reaching it is my top priority. After that, I can help them - after all, they're my only chance to end this infernal journey.>

The soldier had a blank look in his eyes. Not knowing who these people were, he decided to follow them, and once again the soldier's memory was oppressed by an unknown being, sparing him from the pain and anguish of that world of blood and darkness.

"Heh." Mammon grinned. The heat of the battle has carried them deeper within the mansion grounds. They stopped for a moment, Leviathan, burning with raged, stood silently waiting for a chance to strike.
"We need more space, don't we?" Mammon suddenly flings a light red coin upwards and throws his knife towards it, peircing it.
A sudden burst of light, and everything else fell below the ground.
"Heh...." Mammon was grinning even more. He took a glance and saw that the height of the fall was great, a few stories high.
"Could this be?" Mammon took a glance to his sorroundings, everything was covered and rubble.
"So this is it." Mammon's grin suddenly fades.

Magokoro noted the flash as the neared the doors. Under his breath he once again mumbled something about "people and their magic" before reaching for the doors and pulling on them. They fought hard and he had to place a foot against the left door, pulling on the right. It screeched open slowly, revealing a wooden hall, barren of any wall hangings, carpeting, or lamps. The wood was stained so dark it looked black with the lack of direct light. The hall was spacious, leading to what were probably more doors about 20 meters in, though the lack of light made it hard to tell for certain. Magokoro nodded to himself and walked inside the door, bracing for whatever was to come.

As the group moved past the entrance, Marlena made sure to stick close to them. Looking about, she took the time to fold back the right side of her cloak so it wouldn't hinder her if she need to use pistol.
Beneath the floor length mantle, she wore a cream colored long sleeve blouse beneath a dark leather demi cup corset that laced up in front and a pair of thick black leggings. Her worn leather boots barely made a sound as she walked.
The girl was used to moving about quietly. A good deal of the herbs she needed to collect occasionally could only be found in the darker parts of the thicket that were full of dangerous creatures with keen senses of hearing.

Magokoro approached the end of the hall and the closed doors there. He held up his hand for them to stop and pointed at his ear and then the door. Everyone stayed silent and they were able to hear the slight scraping sounds on the other side. The doors hindered sound well and it was obvious whatever was on the other side was not small. Magokoro took a step back from it and leaned over to his companions, his voice only barely audible.

"Alright, we have to be extremely careful once we're inside here. Things will be expecting us because they'll probably hear our encounter. The guard on the other side of these doors is no pushover. Also, if he hears us coming, he can probably drop the lot of us in a hallway this small with one shot."

Magokoro noticed Rogue calculating how to get inside with no sound and Magokoro shook his head. "Once we're in those doors, he'll be able to sense us no matter how quiet we are, and he can smell things like magic and the oils of the higher techs. So, we're left with only one real option if we want an edge," Rogue looked over Magokoro's face and then smiled back at the Vagabond who nodded. "Alright Rogue, we understand each other. You're the most silent of us, care to do the honors?"

Rogue nodded and stepped forward just a bit, prepping for something while about 10 meters from the door. Magokoro turned to the others and reminded them, "Not a sound once we're inside." Everyone nodded in understanding and braced themselves to be quiet. Magokoro suddenly grinned mischeviously, "But, we're not inside yet. Rogue!"

The man nodded and with Magokoro running alongside him, pitched a grenade ahead of them, blowing the doors completely apart as they both leapt through the smoke and debris, Magokoro to the left, Rogue to the right. Those remaining in the hall could almost hear Marlena's eyes rolling and if she didn't say it, they would have sworn she muttered, "Stupid boys..."

Sai

02-12-2008, 01:27:51 PM

A dark figure suddenly swoops beyond the blanket of smoke. "So they come at long last." The figure spoke as the smoke started to subside.
A winged creature was revealed. "I welcome you, Mortals. You may call me Ziz, remember it, it shall be last you'll hear." He charges to Magokoro, aiming his sharp talons at his currenlty defenseless back.
A soldier suddenly blocks his attack. "Ah, such nice friends you have." Ziz starts to laugh manically.
"Oh, hello." A creature spoke from behind the crowd, in it's huge arms, the figure of a familiar cloaked figure. "As it seemed, that you were all pre-occupied with Ziz, I took the chance of snatching such a beauty." He speaks a clear grin flashing from his face.

Irisu

02-12-2008, 02:22:22 PM

"H-Hey! Lemme go!" Marlena squirmed and wriggled in the arms of the creature, clawing at the bicep and elbowing it in the chest. With what sounded like a low growl, she tilted her head down and bit down as hard as she could on the creature's wrist while taking the pistol and jamming the barrel down into crook of the arm.
"Et meh go." Her speech was muffled by the bit of flesh she was busy sinking her teeth into, but her message was clear.

(oh yes, you got that correct. though I am cloacked too. Mammon, that is.)

"Keh, Keh, Keh." Behemoth started laughing hysterically, not noticing the pistol. "Now that we have you here, naught but Mammon remains a hindrance!" He suddenly tightens his grip on the cloaked female.
A loud bang was heard, what appeared to be a pistol bullet exploded on par with a grenade. "Agh! kuhhhh, kuh, ku..." Behemoth was breathing heavily, his right arm was charred and half his chest still had burn ends.

"Foolish!" Ziz exclaims. "How low of you to get injured so badly by a small gun." he muttered as he swooped to retrieve the cloaked girl lying on the floor.

(god i'm handling too many characters.

heh.)

02-12-2008, 03:34:18 PM

Ziz reached for the girl but his hand stopped short. Standing over her stood the vagabond, his sword point held straight into the oncoming hand. Ziz's attack halted for just a moment as his eyes narrowed.

"I thought you looked familiar. Still playing the pet to Mammon I take it?" growled out the leathery skinned giant as his wings flexed back slightly. Magokoro stared at the creature but his words were directed at Marlena.

"Sorry about that m'lady. Probably shouldn't have been so cocky about the entrance." Magokoro grinned slightly, "I know you could probably knock this windbag down without too much trouble, but I'd consider it a favor if you'd let me fight him for a bit first. Once I'm losing, feel free to turn him inside out."

Marlena nodded a bit and Ziz's eyes narrowed. "So little pet, you think you can take me out just because some girl needs protecting? How impudent." It didn't escape Magokoro's attention that Ziz was buying time for Behemoth to recover, but Magokoro still smiled seeing Rogue and the others in motion.

"Oh, no 'Master'," the last bit said with heavy sarcasm, "I'm just buying you some time before she gets upset. You can certainly still beat me, but I thought prolonging your life would be a courtesy." Magokoro's eyes told the others to focus on Behemoth while he bought time holding Ziz back as long as he could.

Ziz just grinned wickedly, "Then let's see how far you've come little pet." With that, the creature leapt forward and backhanded Magokoro, sending him back a few feet, skidding to a stop on his feet. "Ha!" Ziz bragged, "This isn't going to take any time at all if that's the best you've got." Ziz leapt at Magokoro again, the creature's speed uncanny for his size, and struck Magokoro once more, the vagabond blocking only barely and sliding against the floor again before standing back up fully.

Magokoro knew he couldn't handle Ziz forever, but Behemoth could take stupefying amounts of damage and this was their best chance. He could feel his middle aged body slowing just slightly under the barrage and hoped the others could act quickly enough.

--OOC: I was thinking gargoyle-ish initially, but I'll run an official description below and you can veto--

Ziz's main torso is leathery, gray skin with patchwork bits of sickly yellow fur spotting over it from place to place. His face seems more stubble covered, but is made of the same fur. His jaws extend out like the snout of a cat, his rows of teeth nearly always visible and dripping behind sneering lips. The wings on his back seem to glisten like barely distinguishable bits of glass, reflecting the light like a disco ball, if one could actually do so in a murky fashion. Although Ziz never stands erect, his shoulders are still at least 4 meters off the ground and his wings look like they could spread to twice that, easily. His tail, if you could call it that, whips around behind him with an obvious snake's head at the tip. The snake seems to move of its own accord and the venom dripping from its fangs sizzles slightly every time it hits the floor. The creature's eyes sink back into its head farther than normal, giving the impression that it has nothing but pools of shadow where eyes would normally be.

--Work for you Sai?--

Ranah, who was the last to enter the mansion, didn't manage to react in time when the creatures appeared. However, now when Ziz was occupied and Behemoth wide open for attacks, he decided to act. Leaving Ziz to Magokoro, Ranah dashed towards Behemoth, cursing himself.
<Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT! I lowered my guard!>
As he charged, he pointed his palm towards Behemoth. Fire shot out of it, wrapping around his arm up to the elbow. Putting more energy into the spell, Ranah formed one of his favourite weapons - a flat, huge, flaming spearhead. He managed to complete the transformation right before reaching his target, burying the blade deep in Behemoth's left arm, in an effort to disable it.

"Gah!" Behemoth cried as he tried to jump away, but the blade had already sunk in. "Worthless human. you dare harm me with low-class weaponry?" Behemoth removes the blade from his left arm, then gives Ranah a cold glare. "This is it?" He mocks Ranah as he crushes the blade with his two fingers. "Try harder, HUMAN." He mockingly signals Ranah rush towards him.

"Keh, anything else you wanna say PET? any last words? wishes?" Ziz mocks Magokoro jumping repeatedly, slashing and stabbing towards him, with each succesive strike effortlessly blocked.
"A lullaby during your last moments perhaps?" Ziz continued to mock him, slowly leading magokoro upwards the huge staircase.

Mammon was irritated. "Fuck. This was not how I thought it would be." He thought, as the dust cleared. Countless bodies were hanged upside down, each missing a part. Behind the bodies was a capsule, It contained a familiar figure of a girl wearing a white ragged clothes. "Baal-Peor." He muttered, suddenly turning around and blocking a hit from Leviathan. "So you've learned how to slash. Amusing." He went to his offensive and started slashing and stabbing at Leviathan, succesfully switching his grip each hit.

"U-ugh," Marlena grumbled under her breath as she pushed herself back to her feet. She was still a bit dazed from the combination of the gun going off so close to her head and being dropped like an unwanted toy. "Bastard...that....that hurt~."
Shaking her head a little, she fought to organize her thoughts while she dashed off to the side lines. As she moved, she opened the satchel that hung from the waistband of her leggings and searched through it. Removing a small envelope, she opened it and angled it to her lips to shake out two thick light green leaves into her waiting mouth. Biting down hard on the bitter leaves, she grinned as she felt her soreness melt away and found it easier to think.
The girl tucked away the first envelope only take out another and poured a bit of some other crushed plant matter in to her palm before closing her fist around it tightly.

--OOC: Irisu, Magokoro has been defined as a slave/servant/project of the group Mammon is, or was, a part of. So he is, in essence, a former "pet" of theirs. There are two enemies where your character currently rests; Ziz, the gargoyle/chimera thing, and Behemoth, a creature that looks like the behemoths of final fantasy, a picture of which I'll toss below. PC's (player characters) in the room with you are Rogue, Ranah, the Soldier, and Magokoro. Magokoro is currently engaged with Ziz, moving up some spiral stairs, but still openly visible. Ranah is engaged with Behemoth. Rogue and the Soldier are currently unknown until their players tell us where they are. The other characters Sai mentions, Mammon and Leviathan, are fighting, but in another scene entirely. Better?--

Magokoro got his sword in the way of the fangs from Ziz's tail but couldn't stop the punch from the other direction. The impact launched the vagabond up and back, crashing through the upper railing of the open spiral staircase and slamming into the wooden wall behind with enough force to crack several of the boards. Magokoro fell forward out of the hole and caught himself with his sword, breathing hard. He knew he could probably deal with Ziz if he went all out, but doing so would mean he had nothing left when worse came up later. The thought was annoying Magokoro when his instincts brought his sword back up to parry the raking of claws from Ziz. Gritting his teeth, Magokoro went back to his task of holding this one at bay.

She blinked, wondering why she was being rushed towards the exit. Glancing over Rouge's shoulder, she watched the vagabond and the solider fighting against the two huge creatures and squirmed.
"Rouge, please, set me down," She looked at him and shook her head. "Thank you so much, but really I'm fine. These leaves have a natural pain-killer in them. I can help them still..." Wriggling a bit more, she weaseled her way out of his arms and made a dash back into the fray.
With an inward grin, she ran up behind Behemoth and leaped up on to his back. Her right fist was still held tight around the bit of plant matter as she pulled herself up towards the shoulders of the creature. "Got a present for ya'."Marlena whispered to the beast as her left hand gripped onto fur at the back of it's neck as she swung her right fist forward and opened her hand, hoping to get at least a little bit into it's face. "I hope you like fresh red pepper flakes."

<Since I forgot to do it earlier, here's what a Behemoth looks like in general>
http://www.fftrealm.com/content/pics/behemoth.jpg

<Now back to the story, where I'm ganking from Sai a bit unless he veto's>

Behemoth flung his head to the side, easily pitching off Marlena but putting his nostrils straight into the flakes floating in the air. A single breath in and his head reared back, his arms coming up to his face. In doing so, he dropped his guard against Ranah and the blade cut deep into Behemoth's flesh, though no blood came out as the heat from the blade cauterized the wound instantly. Behemoth lurched forward and knocked Ranah back, roaring in pain and anger, whipping around to look at Rogue just in time to see dots in front of his eyes. They only lasted a brief moment before his eyes were punched out by the bullets entering through them. The great beast quaked, then fell forward, the ground reverberating under the impact. His corpse shivered once and then lie still.

On the open landing of the second level, Ziz noticed Behemoth's fall and roared himself. He hunched down, tensed his muscles, and then burst both arms, his wings, and his tail into Magokoro all at once. The impact broke through the vagabond's defense and blasted him through the railing, out over the floor where the others were picking themselves up. Magokoro flew and bounced off the flooring, shattering several boards before skidding to a stop, bleeding from a few open wounds. His landing stopped near the Soldier and he lifted his head slightly, seeing the fallen Behemoth. Magokoro grinned and then chuckled, "Oh good. I have perfect timing" before his head fell back to the floor and he lay there, nearly unable to move.

Up above, Ziz was fuming, "How dare you! You're all dead!" he screamed as he launched himself from the 2nd story landing down at Ranah and Marlena, clawed arms held wide to attack.

Ranah bounced of the wall and quickly regained his footing. He took a look around and saw wounded Magokoro on the floor, Marlena standing next to him and Rouge aiming at the chimera. He quickly dispelled the blade and pointed both palms at Ziz. Small flakes of fire started to appear and gather in front of him, forming a small but bursting with power ball of fire. Once he gathered enough energy to blast a hole through a thick stone wall he released a super-hot stream of flames, aimed right at Ziz.

{Acting for Sai here}

Ziz's attack cracked the floor, sending splinters of wood in every direction. The demon stood back up looked at Behemoth's corpse before narrowing his eyes. The rage was gone, and in its place could be seen a cold, calculating malice that froze weak spirits in place and sent shivers up the spines of even the strong. Ziz saw the attacks coming and wrapped himself in his wings. The rounds scratched the surface, but flames seemed to just roll off the glistening shell. Once the flames died down, Ziz opened back up and looked at those in the room.

"Take your time to prepare mortals. I have rights to perform here. Any interference and my master will grant me the power to immediately send your souls to a place that makes Hell look like a playground." His eyes stayed on Behemoth, "You have 10 minutes, but do not attempt to run away."

With that, Ziz set about inscribing strange marks on Behemoth's corpse. There was no emotion in the monster, just methodical precision as he made to pass on his companion's corpse to their master. As he inscribed them, the markings began to slowly glow a pale, dark burgundy.

{Back to my stuff}

Magokoro's head lifted ever so slightly to see what Ziz was doing before falling back, against the floor with a light "fwump" sound.

"Great," the vagabond muttered, "more magic."

cross_grave

02-14-2008, 08:57:49 PM

The previous battle as well as that last attack weakened Ranah, so the chimera's message was a relief to him.
<Good. At least I can now sense it. My goal is close. It may be too far for me to be able to summon it's power, but ten minutes is more than enough to recover and stock on some extra energy.>
The elementalist relaxes, closes his eyes, and concentrates. Those standing near him can now feel a gentle, warm aura emanating from him. The power seems to slowly restore and energize those who are exposed to it's influence.
<It's harder to control than I thought, but it's not a problem. Ten minutes is more than enough.>
Ranah points his palm at Magokoro's body, transmitting some of the energy to him. As Ranah whispers to Magokoro, a confident grin appears on his face.
"I know you don't like magic, but it'll save us a lot of trouble."

Mammon continued in his offensive, his rage growing each hit. "You shall not succeed, Leviathan!" Mammon growled as they circled the room, slashing and stabbing whereever they can.
Mammon took out a coin, preparing to flip it, but was stopped by several knives flying through all directions. "Shit." Mammon cursed as he dropped the silver coin while blocking twelve knives and catching another with his barehand.
"This is it then." Mammon announced. He suddenly stabbed the knife to the back of his neck. "Keh." Mammon twitched as red liquid began flowing through the knife, and the whole area is sorrounded by darkness.

<Last one from me for the night. Gotta take care of the S.O. since it's Valentine's Day and all>

As the energy hit Magokoro his eyes snapped open and he gritted his teeth in pain. Through the teeth he hissed at Ranah, "Stop that now! Ah!" Magokoro's back arched up as his body convulsed. The vagabond's hands clenched and all of his muscled tightened. Veins pulsed along his skin, particularly visible along his neck. His eyes were squeezed shut, but when the energy wavered a bit, the chaos snapped his eyes open again and the pupils were fast turning jet black. Before, they had seen other color mixed in, but this time, there was nothing save an abyss behind them.

Magokoro's wounds sealed up at a disturbing rate, far faster than the magic could possibly be causing and his mouth was open in a silent scream. The few with keen eyesight picked up the change in his teeth, as the incisors grew and sharpened dangerously. Magokoro's hands dug into the flooring and ripped up boards as he drug his nails along them. He convulsed again, his body relaxing some for a moment after and tears were in Magokoro's eyes as he pleaded with no one in particular, "Please Deity, don't let me become this again..."

*do tell me if this would be a good place for me to start from.*
Out from the enterance of the mansion Kiyoshi awoke. Everyone was gone and he stood up staring at the door that was slightly ajar.
"i guess they couldn't wait," Kiyoshi said to himself as he picked up his sword from the ground.
"oh well better now than never," he said as he entered the mysterious mansion and made his way to his companions ahead.

Kiyoshi entered from a different gate, then the time manipulation fucked him up and he fell asleep.

and on that burned body that looked like kiyoshi:
whoever revealed it is an impostor, traitor, or was tricked by...

umm...Lucifer.
good or no good?

/disregard.

Kiyoshi is sent to a different reality by Asmodius to prevent Mammon from recieving the rightful back-up.

Another Idea.

"Hehehe." A female figure chuckles. "He has fallen in, Leviathan. Mammon shall not recieve the aid he needs." She whispers to herself, observing the Kiyoshi as he enter a strange manor.
"Kill, Mammon, I..." Levithan's voice echoes through the dark room.
"Alright, then." She whispers, as she strolled from the window and sat down on small table, picking up a small crystal ball from the table's edge.

Ranah's grin dissappeared. Things were getting out of hand.
<Damn it ALL!>
He started with severing the energy link between him and Magokoro, using rest of the energy to heal Marlena. Then he pointed his left palm towards Rouge and mumbled a few words. A long, flaming chain shot out of his hand, wrapping around the wounded soldier. Ranah pulled him back with great force, filling him with the energy he summoned earlier, healing him as well.
"YOU IDIOT!!! Stay where you are and let me finish! This way, we may have a chance!"
The elementalist turned in Ziz's direction.His face was a mask of anger.
<Damn it! It's risky, but now there is no chance!>
Those nearby could notice a change in his aura. It intensified, becoming nearly visible. Ranah was struggling, but apparently, he controlled this new power without major problems. Suddenly, he grinned again.
"Great. Now we can start. This will certainly get nasty."

<Doh! Posted after cross somehow...edits in the works>
<update: ok, very minor edit, but it should still work>

As the smoke cleared, a thin membrane-like barrier folded back away around Ziz. The monster finished the rune he was carving and looked around at Rogue, a smile on his lips.

"I was hoping one of you would be foolish enough to try something." As he spoke, Ziz's body began to emit what felt like heat. To the power sensitive, it was quickly made obvious that the heat was the overflow of energy hitting Ziz. His body simply couldn't keep it all in and as it leaked out, the air broiled and warmed. Ziz turned to fully face Rogue and the monster's hands began to shimmer in some kind of gray mist that flowed around his claws like a water of some kind. "Now," grinned Ziz, "your soul is forfeit to my Master." The monster looked over at the now impressive Ranah, "Be with you in just a moment."

Ziz seemed to almost disappear as he moved at speed. Rogue caught the flashes of incoming blows just in time to move but quickly found himself backed against a wall. Ziz crashed both front claws into the wall on either side, trapping Rogue and the monster's tail whipped forward, that strange gray mist roiling around it like an angry cloud. Rogue held his breath as the teeth bore straight for him and stopped, no more than a centimeter from his face. Ziz growled and turned his head to see Magokoro, or at least, something that used to be Magokoro holding onto the gray mist-covered tail with one hand, his other casually resting in his overcoat pocket.

Ziz's eyes showed shock for a brief moment, maybe even fear. "So it's you after all. That shell was just a guise?"

The man holding Ziz's tail had short-ish black hair that seemed like a moment in a windstorm frozen in place. He still had the white and blue overcoat with matching pants. His features were more angular, almost sharp. His body as a whole seemed tightened. As his eyes tilted toward Ziz, the pupils seemed to have become angular themselves, shaping themselves almost like a 4 pointed star. His iris' were the same gray that surrounded Ziz's tail and a
