Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

Veronika moved her head back barely dodgeing the attack, then Nevina's attack hit her.

"Ahh!" She fell to the ground next to her Auto Shotgun, she was bleeding, but she could take it. She grabed her weapon and fired it, blasting 10 shells, at Nevina.

-------------

Pophin then pointed to were Veronika and the others were

"You go there yourself, I won't be much help. Your Elite soilders you can take care of yourselfs." Pophin says turning back to the camp

The two soilders glared at Pophin

"Wimp" One said "But we should just go, Veronika may or may not be in trouble."

The two soilders ran over to were the guys were

(Okay feal free to control them, just I don't have much time left and all, but please don't kill them off in one posts, there ELITE soilders, there more skilled then Duilin and such)

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth saw the shells fly and jumped in front of Nevina. He took 2 hits and the other shells missed.
He fell down and began to bleed.
Nevina started to run to his side and aid him, but he told her he would be fine and to go take out Vironika.
Nevina chanted as she ran at Veronika, "Oheh Mur Ken ki, Oheh Mur Ken Ki,.." she stepped forward and twirled with her blade sticking outwards, and she began to develop an aura.

[Dude Man]

Veronika fliped back out of the way of Nevina's attack. Then then ran over to were Duilin was, she pointed her shotgun at his head, and stood him up, he used him as a sheild, and had the gun pointed at his head.

"He is comeing with me now! If you even think of following me or attacking, your friend here is going to have his head all over the place!" Veronika slowy backed away and headed back out of the way, she was going to take the route she took before but she new that the Gepardi went that way so she took a detour."

The two elite soilders saw Veronika

"Mahm, are you okay?" One asked

"I'm fine, make an exsample of the two infedals!" She ordered them

The two soilders took out there weapons, and got ready to kick ass!

//Okay well you have fun. I know my posts may have been abit quick, but hey I can only posts a few times a week, so I think it's fair really. Oh yeah and could you please not follow Veronika and Duilin, I kinda want to do something.//

[Cesque]

// Dude Man, Dude Man, damn, slow down! Cheetah is running half distance between Pophin and Veronika in cheetah form - about 5 times faster than an average man can run - and suddenly soldiers got to Veronika in 1 post without meeting him, damn it... //

// I guess Xorlak's action-limit per post is sometimes not even enough... //

// Anyway, playing 2 days in week sort of sucks as you can't really interact... //

Noticing the elite soldiers running past him, Cheetah turned and... hmm, sorry, I have no idea what can he do in the current situation (because basicaly all connected with Veronika/Seth/Nevina was done by Duilin in 1 post). Let's say he turned into wyvern and went to sleep at some local tree.

[Xorlak]

A wave of fire erupted from the bubble as Draven broke.  But he had no time to vent his anger at whoever cast the spell as he was immediately under attack by a barrage of wind blades thrown by Zeros'.

He had to vent his anger at someone, though... He slashed his blade of flame in front of him in a figure-8 pattern.  Though he did not quite match the speed of his adversary, each consecutive swing knocked several vacuum blades off trajectory at once, effectively blocking the attack.  Continuing in this fashion, he slowly inched toward Zeros through the barrage of blades...

The sphere surrounding them had weakened considerably.  Draven was paying less attention to keeping it up than rebuilding an aura of flame around himself as he swung his sword.

----

The tree Jayce was standing on began to wither and die, eventually turning black itself.  The same affliction krept down the roots and into the immediately surrounding grass and weeds.

"Normally I would not care.  But I've better things to do than see him toy with this nobody for hours..."

A black streak shot up into the sky.  He was gone, barreling towards the giant fireball above.  As he sprang from the tree, the branch he was standing on broke off and fell, crumpling and turning to dust upon impact with the ground...

[Haraldur]

"Control the weather? Yes, we can do that. The average person can only change the weather in a very small radius. What I have just done has only ever been done by 4,000 different people in recorded history. A few hundred can do it now. I am judged to be scond best.

"We find all this very useful for sailing, because we can choose local wind direction at will. Why else do you think there have been no successful attacks on my country? All enemy ships and flying creatures have always been sunk, killed or driven away by violent winds."

He stood still for a moment, as if in thought. "This seems to be the largest military operation of the Dark Empire for quite a while. Whether that is a sign of your allies' success here we can think of as a possible reason, but it cannot be the only one. Something important is going to happen, and relatively soon. It seems that this time things might go all the way..."

To the north there were loud sounds of strong trunks of wood bein crushed by ice. The temperature seemed to be dropping at an enormous rate. And the hail increased in amount and size.

Haraldur handed Iduran a fur cloak. "You might want to have this," he said.

The hail was then accompanied by a blinding blizzard of snow.

[Zeros']

Qeni and Zev saw the soldiers whip past him and turned around and started flying towards them, hoping there not too late.

----

Genma sort of shruged and looked at the tree. "Alas...poor tree." He resumed full Umi-Sen-Ken and followed Jayce slowly, not wanting to give off too much aura to be detected, but he knew Jayce knew becuase of his training.
----

Zeros' continued his barrage of Yama-Sen-Ken blades and also moved towards Draven slowly, hoping to destroy the barrier in the next few minutes.

[Trent]

Tsu wandered around the forest, and bumped into Shin. "Hello... Who are you?"
--- --- ---
Zion noticed Jayce, and figured that he was going to interfere with the fight. Zion charged up a large amount of energy into his hands, pointed them at Jayce, and unleashed a large energy wave at him.
--- --- ---
Xenai watched Zeros from afar. "I may want to toy with this goon..."

[Xorlak]

Jayce shot upwards like a rocket through the snow and hail, a large wave of energy barely missing him.

----

Draven continued blocking the blades, inching closer... closer... until... perfect.

"DIE!"

He twirled in a circle, about to hit a horizontal slash on Zeros' right side, but the mark would not be hit...

Suddenly, there was a huge disturbance directly behind Zeros'-- a large hole had been punched in the side of the encircling orb of flame, which had kept the three fighters inside oblivious to the hailstorm outside until now.  A black figure sped through the hole, stopping directly behind Draven's winged foe...

The already weakened orb faltered.  With the continued hail and snow outside, it finally gave way and fizzed to nothing, exposing the warriors to the elements.

Draven flared his aura to fight off the cold and hail, although he was clearly distracted by it.

"Jayce!  What in blazes do you think you're doing?!"

It was too late.  Jayce grabbed the base of each of Zeros' wings with each hand and jammed his right knee into Zeros' back for leverage.  He began to pull... leaning forward and speaking calmly into the winged warrior's left ear:

"The sword."

----

"Thanks."

He wrapped the cloak around the outside of his armor, pulling the hood over his head.  The tree was proving to be lousy protection, and chunks of ice occasionally clanged off of his armor.

"So... what's your plan?  This storm is good cover for us... but it seems like it would hurt both sides of the battle..."

He chanced a look up in the sky, but could not see the giant red orb that was once there.

Hmmm, something important is going to happen...  but what...?

[Haraldur]

The snow on the ground was already freezing into a white, hard, powdery mass, and then a sort of white rock.

"Yes, it will hurt our side, but it should not hurt them anywhere near as much as Draven. He will be expending energy keep his body temperature. Besides, your friends should know where the caves are, and they could find refuge there. I expect what remains of your population has already fled to such places anyway."

Haraldur stared up to where the orb once was. A tornado of ice and snow formed there in a matter of seconds, but did not reach to the ground. It went towards the only fire currently visible where the orb had once been, Draven.

"Now that, my friend, is technically impossible. But why should we let such things as that hold us down? Oh, what a great combination," he added, as lightning started to appear in the spinning clouds.

He handed a small bag over to Iduran. It looked like a waterskin of some type.

"Want some magically hot carrot and potato soup? It will probably make you feel a bit better."

[Zeros']

Zeros' didn't flinch. He had to endure more pain then this with his master training him.

"So another one of the emperor's lacky's." Zeros' said with a dijested look on his face. "Now now...2v1 isn't that far is it?"

He grabbed hold of both his wings where Jayce had them and tore them out of his back, blood gushed out of Zeros' back and right towards Jayce's face, but he did not wince.

He used his ki to keep himself propelled in the air and phased out then back in behind Jayce, his sword point right at his neck, a trickle of blood could be seen where Zeros' sword point is.

He chanted a spell quietly to himself and his wings started to grow back, very slowly at first, but then they burst out, spitting out more blood, Zeros' long coat kept him warm during all the hail and snow.

"Well now...I can tell your much more powerful then Draven. And you can also tell I am not putting out 100% of my power hmm?"

Another figure slowly appeared beside Draven and stuffed a cloak in his pouch. He turned his head towards Draven and shook his head.

"Poor Draven. You know how Jayce is...he is very impatient." Genma was also using his ki to keep himself afloat.

Genma turned his head towards Zeros' and Jayce. "Well well Zeros'...you have grown strong."

Zeros' looked at Genma and smirked. "Yes it has master. How long now? 700 years since I last saw you?"

Genma gave him a slight nod. "Ahh yes. Those were the good ol' days."

[Cyber Wolf]

//Lol.. I thought Genma was Seths Master or something.. seeing as how they're both Monks. But Seth hated everyone back at the Monastry anyways so. XD//

Seth lay immobile from being shot in the chest and leg, and tried to crawl away under a tre in the bushes, a few feet from Nevina and the Elite Soldiers.
He then tried to think a strategy of how to help Nevina without actually fighting himself. as he couldn't walk.
______________________________________________________________

Nevina charged, at the new foes with her Scimitar, aiming to slash the first ones arm off.
The soldier brought his arm up, grabbed Nevinas blade, as he had steel gauntlets, and slung it, forcing Nevina to release it.
______________________________________________________________

Tsar had just finished healing himself when the Flame Barrier dissapated. He then acsended, once again, this time absorbing energy from the sun to form an attack.

[Xorlak]

(Tsar, of course, flew above the clouds of the blizzard in order to absorb energy from the sun, correct?  Heh...)

----

A bit of blood splashed on Jayce's face.  He only smirked and tasted it with his tounge before wiping his mouth with his gauntlet.  Draven raised his eyebrows in disgust.

Jayce dropped the detached wings and watched as they grew back, folding his arms.

"Heh heh heh... The old 'withholding most of my power' claim, huh?  I've heard that one a thousand times... I've yet to be impressed."

Lightning began to strike all around, and the freezing winds picked up.  Draven doubled his aura, fighting to stay in one place in the air.  He looked over to Genma:

"What?  Are you telling me this punk is 700 years old?"

Another gust of freezing wind.  His aura exploded once again.

"Blast it!!  Where in blazes did this storm come from?!"

Jayce, who was totally unaffected by the winds, shouted over Zeros' shoulder.

"This is the center of the storm, which means the caster is nearby."

He nodded towards the ground.  Draven looked down, but the visibility was so bad, that he could only see dark grayness below.

How convenient...

If he stopped what he was doing to try and stop the storm, Jayce would surely get the sword from Zeros' and Draven would be out of luck...  On the other hand, Draven was hindered by the storm and probably couldn't compete with Jayce while he was wasting energy fighting off the cold...  He struggled in decision for a moment before shaking his fist at Zeros'.

"I'll be back in a moment... play nice."

He began to fall downwards into the darkness.

Jayce smirked, not expecting to get rid of Draven that easily.  He then shifted his gaze to Genma.

"Master, huh?"

----

Iduran smiled at Haruldur.

"You planned this all from the beginning, didn't you?"

He grabbed the bag and sipped the warm liquid from the nozzel.

But suddenly, there was an explosion of sorts behind them, and Iduran immediately handed the bag back and drew his sword.  Something had crashed into the frozen bushes behind them.  What ever it was, he couldn't see it anymore...

"Did you hear that?"

He peered out from behind the tree, but the blinding snow stung his face, and he had to look downwards.  He remained in that position for a few minutes.  Nothing.

"I wonder... if that was someone fighting above?"

His curiosity got the best of him, and he began to tip-toe in the direction of the crash.

[Haraldur]

//I would like to remind everyone, whatever you are doing is going to be affected by the sudden winter. Flying is going to be impossible unless you are magically flying, and even so you might be blown about.//

"Planned? No, I did not plan it, just helped in it. And not everything is going according to plan anyway. For a start, I should not be here yet, but the situation has changed. We now have to make things up as we go along."

Haraldur noticed that due to the tree, they were now in a large hole in the middle of a large snowdrift, at least 5 metres (15 feet) high. Probably higher. The hole forest was totally covered, in all likelyhood.

Haraldur turned around. The branches and bushes behind him were packed solid with snow. It must be very cold in there. He noticed some had fallen out, as if the bushes were a cake and a book is dropped in and stuff falls out the sides. Also, he noticed some of the snow seemed to be melting...

He brought his arms out in front of him, with his palms facing forward. Out of them a blue and white swirling light came, and the nearest snow froze solid.

"Lets get out of here, the storm will hold for hours, if not days, yet. We should go to the caves. If you know where they are, please lead the way."

With that he brought one hand out in front of him, turned his back on the frozen snow, and created a hole in the unfrozen snow. He then crawled up it and waited for Iduran. There was no tree in sight. They were all covered.

[Cyber Wolf]

(Uhmm.. yeah.. Tsar is above the hail clouds.. XD)
Tsar, still slightly effected by the cold and winds, was knocked around slightly, but not nearly enough to break his concentrating.

Unlike last time when he was channeling Moon energy, He was standing still, stabilized by holding his Staff out in front of him. Acting sort of like a wire-walker in a circus.

He began to glow with the intensity of a fire, solar energy warming the air around his 8 foot radius.

His robe appeared to be a flaming orange now, because of the Psi, and he now began to transfer solar energy into his staff.
______________________________________________________________
It then came to Seth. He should mind attack his enemies.

He then flooded the soldiers minds with thoughts of hate and vengance against each other. Remembering every slight mis-treatment they had recieved from their fellow soldier, and Seth added a few that weren't real, just for taste.

The soldiers then stepped away from each other, and glared at each other with extreme coldness.
______________________________________________________________
Nevina had lost her Scimitar to her enemy, and she then drew her Holy Bastard Sword.

Holding it with both hands, she began to slash in Arcs at the soldier who took her Scimitar.

The soldier managed to block most of them, but then his fellow Dark Empirian struck him with his blade.
