The Return of Pandora [EVENT ARC]

Lilly blew a pink bubble from her very last piece of gum as she watched her Swordsman companion Become a hero on the battlefield. She, Of course, sniped all those Shadow Demons in which he could not reach with his blade in order to save his ass. These Demons were easily defeated but in packs of twenty or more they became deadly. Lilly knew it from experience and without any doubt continued to snipe any Demons who got near him. Flaming arrows provided extra assistance in this Triad of Combos. Just then on the left side of the Southern wall a Greater Demon fiercely snatched the lives of all soldiers in its path.. but not only that, It then charged at Kae; The woman who had be providing the Flames; Lilly Knew if she were to perish the flames would vanish and the Combo attack the three put on for show would disappear in a flash. Lilly Blew a Bubble once more, popping it in an elegant fashion.

"That one is not going to be easy.." Lilly Pointed her twin pistols at the charging demon, Firing a total of ten shots, Obviously Over killing in a focused, composed manner. The shots hit the demon in the mid body, head, and neck causing a devastating amount of damage.. A mere 5 meters from the woman it fell down, dead. But that wasn't the only Greater Demon on the battlefield.. There was still quite a few more out there commanding the lesser ones. Lilly popped her pink gum and awaited in a good position, hidden from enemies in a tower for more assistance kills. Today was going to be a long day.. And Lucky LuX was going to be the Sniper hero of it.

Attacks:

Sara suddenly jumped as there was a roar of challenge emanating from not too far from where the girl was. What the hell? Was there a monster rampaging in the streets without her being aware? As her eyes hurriedly scanned the area around her, looking for the source, a faint mrowling pulled her gaze to a short ways away. When she saw the source, however, she clapped a hand over her mouth suddenly in a desperate attempt to prevent laughing. So that's where the stupid cat had gone. Frankly, it was rather adorable, watching him try to mimic the lion-esque roar that had shaken the Third District. As she watched, the cat slid up to her, skating as though there was ice under his feet rather than earth. "Where have you been?" She asked the cat, only for Chester to ignore her, sliding up to her and whispering something in her ear.

"Prepare yourself, girlie. Darkness approaches."

Sara immediately pulled herself away, suspicious of his sudden approach. Before she could react otherwise, however, the sounds of battle began emanating from every direction. Darkness approaching? More like darkness was here. Everything clicked in Sara's mind. The lack of civilians. The appearance of these fierce mercenary groups. The bellow of challenge, followed by the sounds of battle. Plasma City was being attacked! How could she have been so stupid? Darkness was trying to take down the city, and everybody in it. Which brought to the question...What side would Sara take?

Sara ran into an isolated alleyway, away from the constant streams of soldiers pouring out, then sat down, trying to sort it all out. Elkomere would want her to attack the city, she was sure. If what Destiny said was true, he was expecting her to assist her fellow Dark Gods. But Elkomere also said in his teachings to put one's own desire first. "Desire comes first. Do what you need to achieve what you want," Sara muttered quietly to herself, quoting Elkomere's Book of Greed. Did she want to destroy the city? The place that had served her so well as a hunting ground these past weeks? No.

That settled that, then. Now she just had to actually fight back.

Sara turned and began rummaging through her bag, detaching her ratty white cloak in the process. Within seconds, she had stashed the other cloak away and pulled out her first gift. Destiny's treasure to her, a keepsake from her predecessor. Jenna's Cloak. She threw the cloak on, feeling the cloak's magic shielding her from the harsh Adarian sun as soon as she donned it. The golden runes flared softly, then faded from view altogether along with the fabric of the cloak, making Sara almost invisible against the backdrop of the alley. A quick pat confirmed that the other gift, the Staff of Flaming Greed, was strapped to the inside of the cloak in its smallest form, easily retrievable when the time to fight came.

Sara stood up and pulled the hood of the cloak up, obscuring her almost entirely from view unless one strained. It was the first time she had truly donned the cloak; the power flowing through her body made her feel as though she could do things way out of her normal stature. Her bag would be safe; she had placed it deep in the dead end of the alleyway, almost indistinguishable from the actual trash. Nobody but the craziest soldiers would rummage through it. She turned to her Cat partner, sure that her smile was still visible to his enhanced catlike eyes under the hood. "I'm going to fight, kitty. Feel free to come with me, or don't. As long as you don't give me away."

The time for deliberation was over. Now it was time to add to her collection.

--

Within a few minutes, the hidden Sara had made her way towards the battlefield. The mercenaries Sara had seen earlier were doing battle with the invading forces, mostly bandits, with little success; it was very clear that they were being pushed back, at least on this front. It was up to Sara (and perhaps the cat) to do something about it. Fortunately, the heat of battle was a fantastic distraction for her; combined with her near invisibility from the cloak, nobody would be hunting Sara anytime soon. It was a perfect opportunity.

Sara's eyes scanned the battlefield under her hood for a solid minute, analyzing the field with the tactical knowledge she had received from the Lich. After a short while, she identified one that might be their leader: Better armed and generally stronger, he seemed to at the very least be the strongest of this group. Plus, he was very close to the front of the battle. A perfect target. Sara slunk around, searching for an opening and dodging stray attacks as the mercenary started beating back the 3v1 he was currently fighting. As she approached behind him, one of the soldiers the enemy was fighting got a lucky strike, breaking off a piece of the enemy armor and revealing skin on the man's wielding arm. A perfect opportunity.

Sara dashed in behind the distracted man, her right hand in the cloak with a grip on the Staff. Her left hand shot out of the cloak, revealing itself as she clamped onto the mercenary's now-exposed skin and activated her Boon Theft. Within a heartbeat, she had stolen some of the Mercenary's strength, enough to fight back against the enemy. There was a loud clattering noise as Sara simultaneously pulled out the Staff of Flaming Greed and extended it to it's full length, the staff whirling in her hand.

The mercenary whirled to face Sarah, but the three soldiers he had been fighting took advantage of this, aiming their attacks at the exposed section as Sara pulled her hand away. The mercenary began to swing at Sarah with their mace, only to scream in pain and drop the mace when three swords came down on his exposed arm, nearly slicing the man's arm in two. Sarah followed up with a two-handed swing from the Staff of Flaming Greed, belting the man in the face at full force. The walking slab of meat fell to the ground, out cold, but just to be safe, Sara aimed another attack at his exposed face, her enhanced strength bashing him in the face with the force of an artifact of Elkomere behind it. That guy wasn't getting up any time soon.

The allied soldiers turned to speak to her, but Sara had already slipped between them towards safety and a non-combat zone again, a muttered "You're welcome," being the only thing she said to them as the space behind her filled with bandits. The Frostborn hauled up her hood and stashed the Staff of Flaming Greed once more, returning to hunting for another valuable target.

Damage and VP:

Azure walked towards the massive guest room with Her Telepathic Companion if he chose to accompany her. "..Leo and I are not on the best terms at the moment.. But I'm sure I could get you twenty willing and able bodied men." Azure frowned slightly. On the way to the guest chamber she tapped the shoulders of twenty men and spoke sternly. "Go with this man- He is one of my Officers- Listen to him and you might survive!" The twenty men he wanted were now at his command. Before Azure entered the guest chamber with Mohawk guy she spoke loudly so he could hear. "...We Just might." In reference to the fighting a Goddess question.

She got to the room with Mohawk guy just in time for King Leo to see them both. "Y-Yeah.. It sure has been a long time LEO!" Azure glared. Mohawk guy smiled with glee as Leo stood before him. "A-Azure! can I stay with him on the weekends?!" He spoke to the frowning captain. "..We will talk about this after the War LEO! Survive so I can kick your ass!" Azure shouted but mumbled the last part under her breath as she stormed out of the grand chamber. Mohawk guy sighed and followed his dear captain, wanting to follow Leo but Azure needed him more at the moment. Azure heard all of Leo's speech but was too angry to even think straight- All she could think about was THAT night.

She picked up Mohawk Guy and traveled with tremendous speeds to the Western gate. The casualties were beyond recoverable.. The giant flaming stones destroyed most of the army to the West as well as the district in general. Azure was surprised the Gate and wall was still there with how much damage had went down. Even though the strength of the wall and gate remained well, There was Small holes and places where mercenaries and bandits came through, At the same moments the barrage of flaming stones stopped. "Mohawk guy.. Prepare your self.." Azure gripped the hilt of her sword and awaited until a reasonable amount of enemies poured through.. She didn't want her Initial Slash to be so.. Un - Epic.

Mohawk Guy:

He flourishes a bow playfully as he steps along, plans racing through his eyes behind his disguise, voice brimming intellectually as small handheld weapons begin appearing and rotating around his body in a lazy orbit, he flashes backwards into the midst of the Twenty Men and grasps hold of one.
"You're too kind to me Captain! I'll be sure to bring you back a souvenir from behind enemy lines!"
He declares, before he barks out a suddenly authoritative.
"Grab onto your partner, draw your weapons and don't let go until I say!!"
He orders, feeling ones grip on his hand tighten in response, good, they catch on quick.

"Doctor, hide behind our Captain, if I see any wounded I'd like your assistance." He tells the Blonde Doctor of this fine Crew, before he flashes away, light flickering as he and his men travel along the flank, unseen only appearing for split seconds before the twenty men and Khepri appear fat at the back-line of the army, Khepri quickly gestures for the men to fan-out, which they do in slight confusion...
Before Khepri begins dropping Cannons for them to use, in a line, like a firing squad, cannonballs also dropping beside them.
"Two men to a cannon! Show them what's like to stand on the other side of the battlefield from the Majestic Majesty Pirates!" He shouts, as they aim the cannonballs and begins firing from 40 meters away, sowing chaos in the enemy line as the squad flank and fire at them group!

Khepri orders them to continue, before he flashes away, appearing above the army, fifteen meters up, and raining spears, swords, glaives, axes and other weapons down upon them at sufficient velocity to split a normal man in two, he continues on, creating the rain of steel, before he appears over the trebuchet, he teleports upwards again, at about thirty meters, before he extends his legs, and allows himself to drop.
He giggles manically as he approaches his target, gaining speed and force from full two-hundred pounds of his armor...
He can't help himself, and he's not sure why he picked this particular cry, but just as he's about to smash the contraption he bellows out a loud triumphant call of-


Before the trebuchet folds inwards, and cracks, Khepri unfortunately is not unharmed by this, spraining his left foots ankle badly, but he's flashing away a moment later, going back to his twenty men, who by now are being turned upon, he appears once more, favoring his right leg before shouting a loud.
"TO ME! GRAB ON!"
To which they comply quickly, and he carries them off, reappearing behind his Captain and Mohawk guy and supposedly the Doctor, who Khepri gives a tap to, he snatches a cloak from one of the Soldiers and wraps the red piece of cloth around his mouth like a cloth before his armor disperses and he aims a finger down at his wounded ankle.

"I'll have to work on my armors durability.." He whispers with a throaty chuckle, crimson eyes scanning the area, narrowed now..
"I couldn't grab you a souvenir Captain, the trebuchet was too heavy..My weapons don't do enough, how strong are the weapons in the King's Armory?"
He asks, his question directed towards the Captain, more cannons appearing in a semi-circle, which the men he was given immediately man and aim.
After the answer Khepri allows a few stick grenades to appear in between his fingers, and he draws his arm back in preparation to let them loose into the horde of bandits, he needs more resources, the enemy is too much for his own weapons..
If only he had time to prepare the battlefield.

Combat Details:

Slam! Slam! Sl-- The entire Third layer of Steel was broken down, hitting the ground with a massive crushing noise that rattled through the Northern Area. Jolly Lee smirked slightly as he rose up from his meditation to see his enemies. Massive Ice giants, 15 meters tall at least came through the gateway. Jolly acted swiftly by unleashing his giant fork and spoon while preparing himself for an epic battle. "Nameless Divine- May my luck be ever so pure." He spoke to himself before rushing quickly into the leg of the first giant. Jolly swung his weapons in such a way that it caused the fall of the first giant in a meteoric Flash. Dust and debris fluttered all about when the first Giant fell to the ground and Joly spared no time at all ending his life in one foul swoop. Blood began to form an Icy lake around the first Giant.

Spiders began to come at high speeds towards Jolly Lee, jumping in all directions at the large gentleman. "Lucky Barrier: Golden Push!" Surrounding Jolly a Large Golden barrier pushed 10 of the spiders outwards, causing them to fly 50 meters away in all directions. The Spiders flew into buildings, Walls, and Even across the sky. Jolly Smiled at his Feat and drove his spoon into another giants Leg, Causing the same effects as before. Jolly Soon ended another Giant's life and just like before, The area around the Giant's body grew cold and icy. Quicker than an Adarian Sandstorm the Area froze and stayed that way as if it were Aquious and the Giant's Weaponry improved as well as their speed.

Jolly was quickly surrounded by Forty Ice Giants. "..Shall we flip a coin?" Jolly Lee took his mystical silver coin from his pocket and waited for a giant to reply. "..What are we flipping for?" The Massive being looked down at the large gentleman, Wondering why the man wanted to do a coin flip. "..If you win I will let you pass me, However, If you lose.. I will have to kill everyone of you." Jolly Lee motioned for the Giant to speak for his tribe. "..That sounds like a fair toss.. We choose Tails." The echo of his voice boomed through the streets. Jolly wasted no time! He flipped the coin higher than he had ever before and before anyone knew it the coin hit his palm in the most Divine manner. "...Heads."

It was odd, Anatasia noted to herself inwardly as Zerina stood before her. She had seen the woman in the Bingo Book just as she had mentioned, and yet she could not really have expected what it would be like to meet this woman in the flesh - one of such apparent power and whom had an aura to match. The sight of her alone was almost overwhelming, or would have been, had she not been fueled by the Darkness within Aufero which kept her courage high and her desire to flee relatively low:

"I serve Solis-Aufero, and she serves Pandora." She found herself answering with a nearly practiced ease as she gazed towards the woman, her ears briefly flattening before perking up again as she spoke further towards the Demi-God. "I came here because I-" She began to say further, but hesitated, seeming to have forgotten her own reason for coming to this place and struggling to come up with a proper answer before finally concluding softly. "Because it is the will of Aufero." She said uncertainly, biting her lip softly as she took note of the rainbows - becoming quite wary and anxious from them due to the light that came from them and her own internal paranoia that this was about to turn into a fight, one that even she was not confident she would be able to win with Aufero's power, not when she was barely capable of manifesting its abilities properly as it were.

"Rainbows.." She then mused, taking note of the ones circling around them as a soft frown formed upon her lips. "As a child, I did-" She began, before then adding. "Yet, now, I am no longer a child.." She said, before then straightening her posture to stare with her uncovered eye towards the woman before her. "Why is it that you are here?" She finally came up with the courage to say after posturing herself and regaining her lost composure. "I've no wish to fight you, if you are not here to stand in the way of Aufero or I." She said further, doing her best to sound diplomatic about the situation while still being confident and prepared to fight if it came to that, despite the odds.

Anatasia would fall silent at this point, waiting for the other woman to respond as her companion kept a fair distance back, yet seemed to be prepared to intervene on her partner's behalf if necessary, glancing around and seeming to be expecting an ambush or something of the sort as she most certainly did not trust that this mysterious woman before her that she herself knew nothing about would have any reason not to attempt and fight her and Anatasia for more than the simple fact that they were considered 'Dark' by most, even though this Darkness was a curse, rather than a gift they were born with.

The raging battle would continue in the city around them, but neither Ash nor Anatasia paid it much mind - their focus was on those in-front of them and what the response of the Demi-God would be, after-all, if this did indeed become a battle it would take everything that they had in order to survive it. They would need to keep their minds sharp, their blades ready, and their eyes on their possible opponent.

He watched on as the war went on looking down. What he saw was Pandora turning a man into a demon. This was something he knew she might could do. But he thought she could do it on a grand scale. She would need more humans or other beings. Trillion knew what his goal was it was always the same. He had to bring people to Pandora willingly or forcefully. He smiled as he flew ever closer to the woman in the sliver mask. So close it was hard to miss him. He looked over to see her on the giant snake as he smiled.
Hey Goddess it's you in the flesh how goes there. I am Trillion Shadow a priest in your name a high one at that. Please remember me as I never forgot to bring glory to your name. I'll go bring you more people to turn into your likeness and please forgive me if I enter your personal space by fault.
He said as he flew off making sure the Goddess remember the only demon with a halo. Trillion Shadow eagle was flying at high speed so fast that most would notice a light in the distance. Seeing it coming forward he looked down and notice a lone swordman. This man was using some type of moon sword style Trillion watched on in amazement. He than screamed at the luna Goddess follower, hey dude Memba me huh Memba, I'm going to kill you later just know that. I doubt that lowly sword style could beat me.
He looked at him before taking off towards the city. Trillion Shadow was now in the third quarter of the city where he saw fat face Jolly Lee. He smiled as he flew over him fighting spiders. Trillion was looking for something as he made his way to the forth quarter of the city. He notice soldiers telling people to go inside this safe place as people fled there out of fear. Trillion smiled as he just found the jackpot at least 10% of the city was in this place. The numbers was Hugh and so was Trillion chance, Perfect I'll alert my Goddess of this discovery. Oh yes not many high ranking soldiers was guarding this part of the city. Only thing worried him was getting this far was a little too easy. He summon his black butterflies to deliver his new found jackpot.

The message read to all in her glory and to the glory that is The Goddess Pandora. I've discovered where they are keeping the city's people. My location is in the forth quarter of the city.

Trillion Shadow smiled as he circled over the stronghold undetected. Making sure he was not to get sneaked up on Trillion planned on giving his Goddess time to act before he put his plan into action.

Auros watched as the first volley of arrows descended on the front lines, keeping himself back to avoid being made into a pincushion. a few of the shadows began to fall but they wouldn't be slowed by this. Pandora's sudden appearance on the wall caught him off guard. When the captain of the guard was foolish enough to attack her, Auros could feel his blood boil. How DARE he!? Pandora's transformation of the man into a greater demon... She was too merciful in his opinion. The man had dared to attack her and she blessed him with the gift of demonhood. His admiration for his goddess grew ever greater. When she returned to her army while her new demon did some damage to the archers nearest to him, Auros made a move towards her. As incredible as she was... he wanted to be sure she wasn't in pain. it looked like another follower had stopped to speak to her as well, but he was soon on his way. "My goddess, I can't express how wonderful it is to see you. I-" As he started to near her, he noticed what was happening at the wall as flames arose in his peripheral.

This was bad, there was fire all around the wall, halting the shadows' progress. Not to mention the swordsman who was cutting them down as they neared him with... that sword... that sword that glowed with the clear signs of light magic influencing it. He clenched a fist in frustration as he glared at the scene, quickly bowing to Pandora. "Please forgive me, I wish I could stay by your side, but I cannot watch that man strike down your beautiful shadows." Auros then turned towards the wall again and began charging forward, several shadow demons around him. He hated to get so close to the wall with those archers still up there, but their forces were being slaughtered like insects!

Auros looked about him and picked out four shadows demons nearest to him, dark magic sliding from under his robe and flowing into them, increasing their fighting capabilities. "You four, assist me. Get the swordsman." Auros then remained silent as he stopped running forward once he was within 10 meters of the swordsman. The shadows continued forward but would quickly vanish from sight as Auros created a cloud of pure darkness, vanishing inside of it along with all the demons that were near him while his powered up shadows shuffled themselves into the ground so they wouldn't stand out until they attacked. In the cover of the darkness, Auros would summon his Chaos sabers, a white and black sword appearing in each hand. The Shadow demons would have no issue seeing through the darkness and the four that Auros had chosen would each begin leaping and clawing at the swordsman, their attacks more ferocious and faster than the others.

Moves:

Lazuli flinched slightly as the sounds of war truly began. This place was crazy! There was no one all cities were this insane right!? Thankfully, Lazuli was able to mostly ignore that as she watched Zerina talk to this Anastasia person. Upon hearing the woman's response to the rainbow question though, Lazuli felt the need to speak up. "H-Hey! It's not childish to like rainbows! Rainbows are awesome!You just don't know how to have enjoy pretty things!" She blushed a bit, the powerful woman's words making her feel... well childish for loving Zerina's rainbows. Anastasia seemed focused and alert in the presence of Zerina and it seemed that she didn't want to fight... Lazuli doubted she could beat the woman with the dark aura, so she decided to let Zerina decide how to handle that.

Instead, she turned her focus to Anastasia's companion. She waves a bit with a smile."Hi there! You seem kinda quiet. What's your name?"

Zerina smiled as Ana backed out of the spotlight she had put herself into. "..How Do you know that weapon Truly serves Pandora? Maybe Its just using you.. Maybe..." Zerina drew close to Ana, Circling her as she spoke. "...You should Ask Pandora, Herself." She put her finger out and as she walked casually around Ana a bright rainbow encircled her while the area surrounding them grew a rainbow mist which covered 50 meters. "I'm not going to fight you.. That Is, If you don't fight me or my Foxy Companion over here, First." She pointed to Lazuli.

"That Sword must have you especially messed up if you no longer enjoy rainbows.." Zerina was offended by the answer, Yet did not show it. She almost felt bad for the blade worshipping woman, If it were one thing she knew about Pandora it was that she never entrusted her will to simple blades. Maybe Zerina should have said something more? Maybe It would have helped Ana to speak about how Pandora is.. But Zerina felt as if she had done enough by telling Ana to speak to Pandora herself.

Before walking away towards the Southern Gate she spoke to Ana once more. "Pandora is this way if you want to speak to her.. You will probably only have one chance to do so in your lifetime." Zerina smiled at Lazuli, Motioning to follow her while walking away with a crimson umbrella spinning on her shoulder.

As her fellow crew-mate had instructed, Artura would take up a position behind yet still near Captain Azure in the hopes that both that the powerful woman in-front of her and her own armor would help to mitigate any potential threats that came her way. Glancing around slowly, she would watch the battlefield with a deep frown upon her lips as she imagined all the losses of life that were happening just inside of the city at this very moment along with all those who were possibly injured with no one to help them. She wanted to help each of them, but knew that if she were to try doing so would likely simply get herself killed in the process - Instead, she would keep her attention focused upon Azure, who seemed to disappear just as she would look back in order to ask the Captain what she should do in this situation.

Artura gave a soft sigh, understanding that the Captain had likely done so for important reasons - but she could not help but feel at least a little left-out and disappointed in herself that she was not more capable of combat even at a time like this.

Shaking her head, she would attempt to focus herself as she had before and turned from the palace and began to move from it towards the North Gate where she hoped to provide some assistance to anyone that happened to be there, or at the very least come across someone along the way:

"I promise, I will do my best to protect everyone that I see." She muttered to herself as she continued forward, coming across - as she assumed that she would - a few wounded and scared soldiers along the way which she would tend to with the best of her knowledge before continuing onward towards the North Gate and only stopping once she arrived given that no one interrupted her doing so.

If she had arrived uninterrupted, she would glance around and see massive giants surrounding a familiar individual whom she had come to know as Jolly - Though he did not seem to be in need of immediate assistance, as he appeared to be fully confident in himself at the moment so instead Artura would step back and attempt to remain out of sight of the creatures while being close enough to provide any assistance if the man indeed became injured.

"A city like this is no place for someone who cannot fight.." She muttered to herself, chastising herself a bit inwardly for being so opposed to taking up arms even against creatures such as these. But it was simply her nature, and her Oath, to protect all living creatures no matter their creed or their appearance. But how long would she be able to keep that oath and live?

The battle had begun, and yet Aien was doing nothing. Her eyes spectated the battle field as demons and countless other people began to fight. Feeling slightly guilty she decided to pick a side. The numbers of the enemy seemed large, it would be wise to join Pandora's army. However, the resistance would be struggling. The numbers would continue to grow if she didn't help. However the girl was conflicted, she could not run away anymore she must choose her loyalty. While she had bluffed that she was going to help the resistance, she was now regretting her decision. She wanted to leave. Closing her eyes and trying to decide she finally came up with a conclusion. She had to leave the city. She was neither for nor was she against Pandora's rule. It would not affect her life, but it was only if they allowed her to remain neutral. Right now wasn't the time to hesitate and show fear, after all that is what a true Samurai should do. While she may have no master, her loyalty was still towards Adaria. She was not about to abandon her country in its darkest hour.

Running towards the southern gate, the side where endless demons reigned supreme, she drew her sword. Her fighting abilities would be the only thing that kept her from dying. She wasn't sure what would happen if she were attacked. Most of Aien's power came from her sword and she could not hesitate. Chaos erupted when she arrived. Countless other people were in front of her, fighting the endless hoard of demons. Her speed while quick, wasn't the fastest. However she came across the path of three people, she knew it would not be the best time to dwell as she would surely be slain if she would stay. "I have no business with any of you." She muttered as she attempted to run by as quickly as she could. "My business is outside of this city." She would only hope that her words would spare her. She did not wish to linger here, but in order to get out of the city, she had to plow through the crowd. She continued to run after she said the words, she would only hope that they would allow her to escape without fighting. Even if she was able to escape however, it would be just the beginning. There would be much to do before she would be able to escape Plasma City. "Chronos, please allow me to escape under your will." Aien muttered under her breath as she hoped nothing would catch up to her.

Snow stormed off with Mohawk guy muttering something about survival. Leo's only thought was, "She hasn't changed a bit." As Leo turned to his honor guard he said, "Captain, I have heard there are a few citizens left near the third district. Get them to safety now!" The orange army honor guard were not to be taken lightly they saluted and sprinted for the civilians. Just then a soldier was sprinting to Leo shouting, "SIR...SIR...KING LEO SIR! We have a major problem sir!!!" Leo's attention zero'd in on the lone officer. "What is it?? SPEAK DAMN IT!?", Leo said as he pulled his flask out and took a swig. The man stopped out of breath and said, "King... it's...it's...Musicka... Symphony Musicka... She is here and she wants to meet you." Leo spat his rum out, and said, "God damn it... Today just gets more interesting by the second." Leo turned to his assistant Sarah and took his favorite hat from her back. "Miss Sarah, I am going to need you to go out into the city and do your part. If you need help call for me and you, soldier, get back to your post NOW!" Leo said. The man nodded, saluted, and then took off running. Sarah turned and as she walked away said, "I can take care of my self! Don' die...If you die the city falls.." Leo laughed and put his hat on. He thought as he ran down the many staircases, "I just can't seem to stop pissing off beautiful women. Plus Musicka makes three."

   Leo made it to the city and began walking into the third district. He began to call out for anyone to make sure the area was clear. Then without warning Leo heard a loud bang. Within  a second Leo jumped sideways a bullet zipping past his head. Leo looked to see his opponent and could not see her. However, Leo knew that Musicka was a very good shot. "Hey Knock that off. Lets fight this out fair and sq.." Leo was interrupted by several shots all coming from different angles and different sides. It would seem Musicka was bouncing her shots off of every reflective surface. The first shot grazed Leo's cheek but allowed Leo to dodge the next few. Leo could feel two people's presences coming towards him. One was Musicka and the other was strong but he did not recognize. Leo took the gap in between her shots to sprint for cover unsure what good that would do.

     Musicka was in the second district on a roof taking shots at him. "Well Damn, I will have to get closer to really get a good shot." She had noticed a man named jingee following her. She had permitted his company after a simple coin flip. Musicka was somewhat excited. She was having a fantastic day of luck.

It didn't take long for Ambros to find a good victim for beginning his reign of carnage. A small squad of guardsmen on the south side were splintered off from the main group, fighting an outbreak of small shadow demons that were trying to break through. The soldiers were well armed and well trained, noticeable from just watching them. Whoever was leading their army must be a commendable warrior, to have trained them so well. But not well enough. They were holding off the shadow army well enough, but a well-placed massive berserker ambush would definitely change that.

The massive warrior got as close as he could without his massive stature giving himself away, took a deep breath, and roared. "COME TEST YOUR MIGHT AGAINST A REAL WARRIOR, YOU YELLOW-BELLIED MONGRELS!" He bellowed from behind the warriors, causing most of them to start. Ambros used this to his advantage, howling and barreling out of his hiding alleyway while brandishing his massive battle-axe. Even for battle-hardened soldiers, a hulking mass of a warrior charging at them while roaring was a terrifying sight. He saw them waver, even if some of them only for a fraction of a second, and smiled.

The terror was enough to get his bloodlust excited, and the shadow demons as well. They instinctively latched on to the soldiers' fear, swarming them in their second of weakness and giving Ambros the chance to close the gap. A whir and a satisfying shunk later, one of the soldier's heads was separated cleanly from his body. Both halves fell into the swarm of shadowy monsters, where they were enveloped as Ambros laughed darkly. The laughter grew into full-blown maniacal cackling as Ambros cut down more soldiers, who were unable to fight off the dual assault of the shadow demons and the Beastman.

"Can nobody provide me with a true challenge!?" Ambros roared as he cut down the last of this particular regiment. He took a deep breath and unleashed a victory roar, reveling in the bloodshed. Truly, Gorrath must favor him, to allow him to cause so much carnage. He turned around to see the army of demons swarming the corpses of the fallen humans, devouring their flesh. Good. The weak should feed the strong, as the world should be. He turned to face the army, and began shouting once more. "Army of shadow! Follow me, and we shall paint the streets red with the blood of humanity!" The shadows chittered in agreement, several of them breaking from the crowd to follow the massive Beastman in his hunting. He was sure the Goddess Pandora, magnanimous as she was, wouldn't mind him borrowing a few of the cannon fodder. With roughly 10 shadow demons in tow, the berserker set off through the city once more, searching for somebody to challenge his might.

Black Jack & Crew:

Black Jack Rushed to the the West Gate with his officers and many men. Black Had a small army of this own with sharp blades, guns, and many uncommon weapons that you wouldn't normally find. His crew surrounded the area just as Azure was about to pull out her sword. Black Jack slashed out two Nodachi; Silver Light, and Onyx Twilight- Two Legendary Swords that were once wielded by Azure Snow. The mere presence of Black Jack made Azure's teeth clench. "..Azure Snow.. Give me that Nodachi and Ill be on my merry way. HAheehhehe.." The maniac behind Azure prepared himself for an all out attack with the Legendary blades.

His Officers also prepared their weapons in order to fight whoever else was in the area. From a Goblin's sleeve came four poisoned daggers that were forged together by chain. The Goblin's face and body was covered by matching dark attire that all the other Officers wore. To Jack's right was a man with thick glasses which glimmered in the sunlight, He simply fixed his glasses and gave an all around smile. To the Left was a Blonde woman who had a Scimitar all ready drawn wearing the dark robes of the Other officers. "..Kill your EX- Captain.. Azure Snow.. For good this time." Jack managed to shout in a whisper, Echoing in all of the minds of the crew. They charged fiercely as the bandits charged in unison from the west gate.. Azure and her allies were most definitely surrounded from all sides and soon the chaos around them would force them to gather together in the middle.

'Rain of Zeus':

As Symphony Sniped from the second district at Leo who she had spotted rather quickly rushing down to the Third district; She made sure to also keep an eye on the one who accompanied her. If he did anything sneaky she would instantly throw up a Lightning barrier that would continuously shock him for one post and leave him there stunned for a few moments while she escaped. However, if he did not attack she would continue to allow him to accompany her. She hopped down from her position and swiftly ran towards Leo; hopping over the wall that separates the second and Third districts with an easy Jump and a burst of her lightning. She was now very close to Leo but if Her newly found friend couldn't keep up with her max Speed then he would have been left in the dust, Possibly not knowing where she jolted off to.

Symphony Spotted Leo taking cover and put away her sniper rifle honorably which seemed to disappear under her Green cloak. "How about you and I fight it out.. with Lucky fists!.. I Am here to kill you.. But! If you show me otherwise then maybe you and I could join as Allies.." She spoke honestly. It was true she randomly came here to kill Leo and take advantage of Pandora's attack. But If he could somehow prove his strength in combat Symphony would honor that fact and take it as a Sign from the Nameless Divine to join together. Symphony clenched her fists and smiled. "Its going to be a wild Ride Leo- Are you up for it?" Lightning appeared all over her body, seeming to be strongest at her fists as she jolted forwards in a flash.

The punches and damage she inflicted would be practically unseen from the King or anyone else for that matter since This wild Empress was one of the Fastest on the planet. At least thirty punches were thrown at Leo in a sudden instant making him a human punching bag for the woman. However, towards the end she had to stop for a moment to see the Damage she had inflicted. Her punches may have hit.. But the Lightning was absorbed. "..What.. Is this?" Not many knew of what Gift Leo was Granted by the Gods.. But one thing was for sure- The Lightning was not working, But the punches did seemed to strike. "What kind of a Man are you?!" The Empress spoke with Excitement, Preparing for the next barrage of attacks.

Jingee kept silent, as the woman began to try and snipe a man from the second district. He would have done something, however he knew that this lady was to be respected in terms of strengths if she could make the lot of guards in the entrance allow her through. He stood to her right, holding his staff in his left hand, looking off towards the man being shot at. He was hoping that the man wouldn't die, though he didn't want to intervene without knowing too much of this woman's abilities. For now, he decided to sit back and watch.

His expression had remained unchanged since meeting this woman, he still had the same grin he always does. It wouldn't take too many shots before the woman decided she was going to go hand to hand with the man, and charged down there. Jingee decided to follow at a slower pace, hoping that this would present an opportunity for Jingee to do launch an attack towards her and end the fighting between the two.

Jingee made an approach, the lady having recently launched off a barrage of punches towards the man. It was odd, for all that she had been hyped up to be, she seemed to leave very little, if not no damage towards the man. Perhaps the guards were just intimidated by name alone, or perhaps the man was stronger than her. Using the ability of his staff, Jingee made the wind's speed increase to an alarmingly fast rate. The speed of the wind was around thirty miles an hour. Now, actually moving, he would move the tip of the staff along the the ground, hovering just above it. Lifting it into the air, and looping it into a circle two times above his head before pointing it towards the direction of the two fighting about twenty one meters away. He was hoping that the two would be too busy fighting to notice him starting up his spell. A gust of wind would begin to make it's way and surround the lady known as symphony.

Chester slid around laughing at the sounds of battle. The chaos everywhere was just hilarious! This is exactly what he wanted! But, he can't just let the city fall. After all, this was where he met his adventuring companion, so it had to hold a special place in his heart. He turned around to look at her, only to realize she was off somewhere. Oh well, she can do her own thing. Chester had work to do.

He looked around trying to see where he should go. Around him, everything was being handled rather nicely. At the North Gate, a large number of golden barriers suddenly appeared. Chester recognized these and smiled. Jolly was a well known follower of the Nameless Divine, so he knew him. He had even met him once, though he had been in his female form. From the South Gate though came a sudden roar of challenge. Someone thought themselves strong enough to challenge all that came to face him. Oh what a silly man! Chester laughed. These were great options, but it was hard to choose, so there was only one thing left to do. Chester reached into his pants and brought out an old silver coin. "It's been a while, little buddy!" He said to it, getting ready to flip it. "Heads for North, tails for South." He flipped the coin, landing it carefully on his tail, which whipped around him to show him the result. "Heads! Jolly here I come!" He giggled as he put the coin away, then slid around the city with dexterity that was almost unmatched. He dodged foes as they came to him, quickly clawing at them and rending them across the chest, leaving them there to bleed out. It was fun, being in battle after so long. He was a bit rusty but he was sure that he could do it. After a while, he found himself near the North Gate, with Jolly in sight. He chuckled, then slid over. However, something rather strange happened.

As he slid, he passed a lamppost and suddenly changed. He wasn't the Chester that Sara knew anymore. The ambiguous cat thing was gone. This Chester was clearly feminine, with a greatly sexualized body. You'd think her a follower of Jessica if you didn't know any better. She slid along until she met Jolly, who had been shoving away spiders and ice giants with his golden barriers. She deftly dodged them until she was right next to him. "Long time no see, big guy!" She said to him before jumping on his shoulder. "You remember me, right? Right?" She pointed at herself, smiling her usual huge, wide smile: one of the only things that distinguished Chester in all her forms. This smile was bigger than usual though. She had an idea.

"You ready for a good old-fashioned combo attack?" Was all the warning she gave before she put her hand on Jolly, causing him to glow a faint pinkish color. He would feel himself lose his grip on the ground, as if it became more slippery. Small pink sparks started to form at his feet. Chester got on the ground herself and prepared herself. "You ready to play PINBALL, BIG GUY?" She smiled and laughed, shoving Jolly with all her might into the oncoming ice giants and spiders. Because of the size of Jolly, along with the barriers he produced, they fell one by one as Jolly bounced from foe to foe like a game of pinball. It was a great sight. Chester found a chance to jump on top of him and get the sight first-hand. She'd look around, standing triumphantly on top of him. "See this, Pandora? See this, Nameless Divine? This is fun! I thank you both for this great oppurtunity you gave me!"

Pandora's eye twitched slightly as the 'Priest' In her name floated next to her on a Dumb looking bird. "..You Claim to be one of my High Priests?" Pandora's pain faded away and as it did her darkness grew around her until it was just Her and Prankster visible. There was no escaping the darkness and no matter where the Priest ran he would never get out of the darkness.. or away from her. "You are no High Priest In my name.. In fact.. Folks claiming to be my high priest are the exact reason why my name faded in time. Even though I may have Chosen you to be one of my Champions; You have brought too much dishonor to my name.. You cannot be allowed to live." Pandora held up her hand while tar like darkness dripped down to the abyss below.

Demons of all shapes and sizes rose from the seemingly endless pit and surrounded the Priest slowly but surely. "My High Priests participate in a ceremony with me.. How could you have done that ceremony if I was locked away for a Thousand years- Also... Where were you when I needed you?! You could have found the Sword of Truth and released me from my Prison Earlier!" Pandora took off her Silver mask, Revealing a beautiful war painted face. She looked as human as could be and was even dressed in a Gorgeous faded kimono. If Prankster looked into her eyes he would be lost, His mind, Memories, and everything he knew would fade away into the deepest Darkness and he would be wiped clean of everything he was or could be.

If he did not look into Pandora's eyes then the demons would slowly surround him and they would endlessly be created within this Twilight Zone of Darkness. "You will be punished to the fullest Extent.. I Personally wont grant you the pleasure of being killed by me.. A Goddess. You have spoke your last words.. My children will now torture you, Killing you little by little until you eventually die." Pandora did not smile once when she spoke, Instead she put on her Silver mask and left this Dark Dimension. Prankster would never be able to leave this place and even If he did kill all the Demons within the space, Which were all Greater and Elite In Class- There would be No escape from this place. The only beings able to enter this Darkness and return would be Pandora and Xi.

Pandora appeared once more on the battle field without Prankster in sight. She looked down at The cute Goat creature who spoke to her while floating down to his level; stepping upon the Adarian Soil. "..Ah, I Remember you- Chosen One. Hopefully You don't disappoint me in this battle.. If you succeed and do not flee, I will grant you a Position within The Circle.." Pandora spoke darkly, smirking under her mask. The Circle was a Legendary, But Mythic Group that no one believed to be true. However, The Fact that Pandora had mentioned it meant it did exist and all the rumors about it and those within it were also true.

Pandora Created Three Greater Demons to follow the Goat and help him in battle against her enemies. "Now Then.. Do your best.. And remember what Ive said.. Don't Disappoint me." She patted him on the head before he charged into battle. Pandora Came back up to the snake demon's head to sit and watch the battle that went on around the City. "Oh.. Destiny- You are here as well.. Excellent.." Pandora's excitement grew wildly.

God of Luck & Chance:

'Ding' the flip of a mystical metal coin flew through the air only to land in the blue palm of a Divine gentleman in the suit. He smiled with his good side as he watched his followers close up and personal. Both Jolly Lee and Chester had always followed his ways of Luck and chance which was rewarded through the years with a fine Mystical Silver coin that were absolutely priceless. The fact that they came together to make a rather fascinating Combo is what made the Nameless Divine himself come to take a close up peek. He looked down at his large silver coin while keeping his smile. "Heads." He spoke out loud, only enough for himself to hear his own voice.

He walked towards the Battle of Ice Giants and his Chosen, Making damn sure he got right in the middle of every single strike on both sides until he stood in the exact middle of battle. "Lucky Me." He spoke with a chuckle. Not one hit had landed upon the God and his good looking suit; But not only that, Not a spec of dust landed upon the Nameless Divine. "How about we make a Bet, Chester And Li Jie Ke.. If you can defeat the rest of the Fourty Ice Giants with a different combo attack Ill grant you each a God's Chest.." The Nameless one fixed his tie and finished his bet with a clear voice. "..But If you fail to kill even one.. You will surrender to me- Your Life." The God spoke clearly and evenly.

He looked over at the Doctor, Coming very close to her while holding his Eight Ball staff. "You can Join them if you wish- But the fate remains the same, Doc." he stood next to Artura like a normal Gentleman would.. except he wasn't Normal.. He was the God of Luck and chance.

God of Destruction:

Gorrath Smiled brightly as his follower, Ambros pleased him with a charge into battle. Who would he attack first? What kind of destruction would he cause? This made the God excited to see what Ambros was capable of. Even though Gorrath did not reveal himself to anyone just yet, his presence would be felt by Gods and Demi Gods alike. "Little Creature. Kill, Drink, Become Strong." Gorrath spoke to himself as he watched from a nearby roof top. Gorrath was equipped in full heavy battle armor which made him appear to be a Massive metal statue.

Gorrath pointed his finger at Ambros, Granting him a boosted buff in combat against multiple foes and even sent his own Green Followers to aid Ambros in combat. Three heavy duty tank like followers appeared from an alleyway in front of Ambros in full body armor. "Our God watches over you, Ambros. Kill, Drink, Become Strong, Brother." The deep voice was obviously Orc like in nature but since the three were covered in full armor the green skin would not be shown. They then Charged the Enemies ahead with Ambros, Neutral or Enemy they would kill and cause massive amounts of Destruction with their heavy battle axes and mauls.

".. Kill, Drink, Become Strong.. Please Gorrath." Gorrath's voice deepened.  

Gorrath's Followers:

The wind blew Destiny's white robes and Lavender hair to the West. Smoke, Ashes, and hundreds upon hundreds of dead bodies laid in messy piles all around the Eastern Gate. The only survivor was Destiny who walked through the ocean of blood with her golden staff in hand. Trolls, Goblins, Dragon born, And those who lived in the mountains all fell to her magic and skill that obviously earned her the powers of a Demi God. "..I feel a Great disturbing presence to the West.. And Gorrath Is nearby." Destiny took a deep breath inwards before getting serious.

"It was Destiny that He come this day.." Destiny spoke once more. Everyone knew that only a Demi God could kill a God; Was it by the webs of Fate that Gorrath arrive here in the City? Destiny began her walk towards Gorrath who was located in the Southeast of the city. The sound of steps going through deep puddles of blood echoed on the Eastern Walls as Destiny journeyed slowly but surely towards her target. The smell of Ruby Blood fumed the area and countless splatters from the puddles exploded with each stride, Staining Destiny's White robes.

This battle was about even.. But Destiny couldn't help but notice that the commanders of each army- Besides the one she alone laid waste to had not arrived within the city yet. It would be interesting to see what would happen next, Especially from the Divine Energies of The Three gods that had appeared in the City.

If the swarm reaches the city it'll be over, if the swarm reaches the city it'll be over, if the swarm reaches the city it'll be over, if the swarm reaches the city it'll be over, iftheswarmreachesthecityit'llbeoveriftheswarmreachesthecityit'llbeoveriftheswarmreachesthe-
His thoughts break away sightly as he begins to struggle, the vast numbers slowly beginning to overtake him, fatigue filling his expression as he kicks away a shadow, only for it to fly into two pieces, his eyes begin to narrow as the winds still for a very brief moment.
If they get past me, they'll attack the soldiers, they aren't as fast as I am and will be torn apart...


His voice is a whisper, but magic causes it to hum with power that until this moment he was holding back, the winds return, piercing through at high speed as his speed and power increases, his mind focused on a singular goal now, not let any pass his line of defense, where before he was struggling, now his blade tears through shadow after shadow near effortlessly his eyes losing all emotion aside from a fierce somber determination, Kougetsu's blade singing as it splits the air and the flesh of the shadows around him, the shadows that attempt to surround him are simply parted like a veil with a spiraling swing from the Holy Sword of the Moon.
Then the Greater Demon's arrive and Echo splits off, rushing for the first one in the line, he breaks away suddenly to the right in his dash, before closing in and diving underneath the creatures guard, spiraling to avoid the counter-strike and lashing out with a double-slash as he slips through the creatures guard, creating an x shaped wound, before the creature is dispersed, Echo spirals and leaps back, whipping his blade around and putting some distance between the enemies and himself, before with a mighty heave he throws Kougetsu like a javelin straight for the thigh of the shock of white and blue mixing with the black, traveling at such high speed and power and from the angle flanking the Demon's from fifteen meters away, it's unlikely the Goat demon will be able to dodge, however, he's merely probing the creatures defenses, and in a flash of light, Kougetsu reappears in his grasp, either coated in fresh demonic blood, which fizzles away, or with a scratch signifying it's been deflected, either way, Echo's movement never ceases, as he carves his way back towards the wall, to gain more fire support, these enemies will require more focus.

Pandora's Demon's will not take a step past him, he will not allow the people of Plasma city to suffer as Other's have suffered, for the remainder of this battle, he knows his purpose.

Buffs and Attacks:

As the beast began sprinting towards her, Kae's mind suddenly sunk inwards as she lifted her hand up to cast a ball of fire at it. She hadn't really thought the situation through, and suddenly she realized that a large, terrifying monster bent on murdering her and her friends was barreling towards her at top speeds. She felt herself freeze. She heard brief shots coming from behind her, aimed at the demon, but they didn't seem to be affecting it. She willed herself to cast the fire at it, but her hand wouldn't perform the gestures required. She shut her eyes, prepared for the inevitable embrace of death. She heard a thud, but it was accompanied by no pain. After a few moments of peace, she opened her eyes, with the shadow demon to be no where in sight... until she looked to the ground, to see it riddled with bullet holes, dead. Glancing backwards, she looked for her savior, noticing a woman with brilliant pink hair holding a pair of pistols. "T-thanks for the help!" She called before rushing to the wall, checking the status of the battle below, feeling her flames lick her hands as she rested her fingers on the burning wall.

Not good. The swordsman was still going at it, but he seemed to be in a dangerous position. Pandora had created more Greater Shadow Demons, and the scores of regular demons below threatened to overwhelm him. 'Fuck fuck fuck.' She thought, glancing downwards. There was no easy way to climb down, and she would have trouble hitting targets from here. "Screw it!" She yelled, pumping herself up, before diving headfirst into the flames of her own creation and off of the wall. She appeared almost as a cannonball herself, fully alight with flames as she fell, her golden chest-piece glimmering. She opened her eyes in free-fall, seeing a group of demons directly below her. Channeling magic through her staff, she let loose a ball of fire towards the demons, watching it explode and take out at least two dozen demons from underneath her. 'Let's hope this works!' She thought to herself, maneuvering her staff so it was closer to the ground. As soon as it touched the ground, she flung herself to the side, letting the staff take all the weight. Somehow, she managed to roll away from it unharmed, though the staff looked like it would have cracked with any more force. 'Such a dumb idea.' She couldn't resist laughing to herself, before surveying the battlefield from the fiery crater she seemed to have created.

Hiding within the still present flames, she watched as the swordsman cut his way through more enemies. Stepping out of the fiery circle, she gathered more fire in her hands before launching it into the crowd of demons twice, one on either side of her ally, attempting to stem the flow of enemies for him. After taking out dozens of shadow demons using her tricks, she felt the fatigue begin to overtake her. This was a common problem in her combat training; she would often burn out bright and fast. Still, picking up her staff again, she prepared to smack away any approaching shadow demons, watching as her staff ignited in flame just as her entire body was.

Attacks:

For some Reason they wanted to go over the wall in order to fight the Demons. Which to Lilly was.. Stupid for lack of other words. Why would they charge into the massive amounts of Shadow Demons? Lilly Sighed but covered them both by firing her pistols with her sniping skills; Maybe She would also give into the Peer Pressure and hop down the wall as well.. Nah, She wouldn't do that- Shes a Sniper! Lilly Focused on multiple Greater Demons firing as much as possible before her clips ran out. Lilly kept reloading and firing.. Reloading.. Firing.. Over and Over again on multiple Demons who tried to get the better of her two Amigos.

She sent at least three Greater Demons that were already on the wall back to Pandora's Darkness, Never to return. Three Shots per Greater Demon about did it and with each kill a Shadow Demon body would disappear in black smoke. She continued to lay waste to any demons who tried to pass the wall but paid no attention to the Goat, as he was no threat to Lilly at the moment.. The multiple Greater Demons with him however, She fired upon with no regrets, Slaying Two of the Five. If Lilly happened to be attacked on the wall she would counter with her guns, using them both as blunt weaponry like they were crafted to do. She would also fire shots at any enemies or threats near her, Making sure to end them with the most brutal forces possible.

Sara continued to slink in and out of battle, using her cloak to sneak around undetected. She made sure to stay within fifty meters of the original mercenary she had taken down in order to make use of the man's stolen strength for as long as possible, but as long as she stayed within that border, she was free to help as she liked. Wherever she saw the Plasma City forces falling back or losing a battle, she appeared, taking out a few bandits with the Staff of Flaming Greed combined with her stolen power and changing the tide. She made sure to vanish frequently with Jenna's Cloak, making sure the bandits were kept as in the dark about her position as possible. With this method of ducking in and out of combat, she started slowly turning the flow of combat in this section, uplifting the morale of the troops who had been demoralized by the thorough bombardment of the district.

Her luck would not hold out forever, however. The Snowborn saw an opportunity with a bandit beating down a poor soldier. As she closed in to assist, however, the bandit's arm shot out, grabbing her cloak and pulling her in. Sara cursed. Apparently, her appearances had spread through the army sooner than she had thought. "Well, well, whaddawe got here?" The bandit sneered, hauling Sara's frail body into the air. The girl's face wrinkled in disgust at the ugly man before her. How dare he lay a hand on a poor girl like her? She'd have to teach him a lesson. She went limp temporarily, outwardly signifying defeat while her hand frantically unhitched the staff within her cloak. The bandit's smile only grew larger. "Givin' up, eh? Can't say I blame yeh. I'd do the same thing if I- UGH!"

Sara had dropped the Staff and violently sprung into action, kicking the Artifact of Elkomere into the man's chest. The staff collided with the Bandit's chest and lit up upon collision, sending the bandit staggering back and caused his grip to fail. "Tch," Sara griped, clicking her tongue in annoyance as she dropped back to the ground and picked up the Staff. She'd been aiming for the head. Still, it was an opportunity. Sara fled away as the bandit got back up, cursing colorfully.

Sara felt her bonus strength leave her as she left the vicinity, but it was necessary. They had adapted to her there. She'd have to find a new place to fight. As she explored, however, a stray scent caught her nose. Something insanely valuable was nearby, almost on par with Destiny's staff. No, perhaps even greater. Sara was a fairly cautious person, but there was no way she was letting an opportunity to grab something this valuable go. She changed course, heading deeper into the city.

Within a minute, she found the source. And boy, was she glad she did. A group of what could only be higher level adventurers was gathered, seemingly on two different sides. One had a distinctly evil-looking man with two blades, backed by another man, a cloaked woman, and a man with glasses, alongside a large amount of pirates. The other side had a hooded catlike man (she shuddered as she was reminded of Chester), a man with a mohawk, and a beautiful woman who gave the Snowborn feelings reminiscent of her homeland, Aureos. The woman was the source of the scent she had caught on the wind, but now that she was here, she could practically feel the wealth coming off of all of them. They were well armed, to say the least.

From a glance, it seemed like the evil man and his compatriots had a clear numbers advantage, but the scent coming off of the black-haired woman's blade made Sara not so sure of the outcome. Still, getting involved right now seemed like suicide. Ah well, she could always come through and pick up the pieces later. Sara made sure her cloak was still hiding her well and leaned up against the nearby wall, watching the upcoming battle with vested interest and increasing caution.

Damage and VP:

Azure's Teeth clenched together tightly as her former crew revealed themselves before her. "..Black Jack.." She spared no time at all when giving her orders to those with her. "Mohawk and I Will take out my former crew.. You guys- Take the wall and the bandits.. Guess I have no choice but to show off my Secret weapon." Azure swiped her Nodachi out swiftly, sending a shock wave outwards and towards the man with glasses. The Wave cut his robes to pieces and revealed an endless amount of daggers of all shapes and sizes strapped around his body. "Looks like you haven't changed much, Doc." Azure glared violently.

"..As Expected, The four of you are apart of 'The Circle'.. Well Then. No more words! I'm about to end you all for the betrayal!" Azure's Blade seemed to whisper loudly enough for everyone in the area to hear; Just as the Crew charged at her and Mohawk guy Azure pointed her sword towards the first Enemy she saw. Her eyes gleamed a Dark Crimson as she found herself at a hidden trigger that was attached to the Djinn Nodachi. Out of nowhere she aimed quickly and pulled the trigger, Firing a round into his heart. By the time his lifeless body hit the ground 9 more perfectly aimed shots made their way into other pirates hearts. Azure then hit another hidden button, causing the magazine to slip out smoothly and to continue the process she reloaded with ease.

She did this until all Fifty footmen and women who betrayed her fell dead. Azure then looked to Black Jack and the other three who stood watching their own crew perish. "..It wont be that easily done, Black." She looked at the piles of lifeless remains and the crimson blood that flowed like a hellish river. "..Looks like your a little upset we betrayed you, Snow. Why is that? Is it because I took the God's Chest and your Blades? Or is it the fact that your crew Hated you?" He walked into the river of blood to gain ground on Azure. He gripped The Legendary Swords in both of his hands with a curling smile. "..Its the Fact you took my precious Swords, Killed my Crew and all around screwed me over.. That's What pisses me off." Azure spoke sternly, glaring at the white haired man.

"..Captain, Ill take the Three Officers- You take on Black.. Come out alive Captain!.. So we can Free Aureos on Day!" Mohawk Guy shouted, Obviously not phased by the gun blade massacre that had just went down. He made sure to put away his shades and in on steady motion swung out his weapons. His grip surrounded the hilts of two Katana that were crafted in a Silver style. These two blades were a lot shorter than regular Katana but the crest of the Snow Family was very noticeable upon the Works of Art. Mohawk Taunted the Three Officers who almost seemed like they did not want to fight Mohawk Guy. But regardless the fight was going to happen and it was either they were going to be defeated or The Green Mohawk styled Gentleman would take the day.

"..Don't Die Mohawk.." Azure Spoke the last words before the fight ignited between the six.
