Time: Early evening​

Kazuya | Boss | Edge

Boss smiled. "Well, I don't like to brag, but-"

Suddenly, every sensor and piece of equipment on the transport went absolutely haywire. Kazuya's eyes went wide. [color=9f2b28]"Status report! NOW"[/color]

"The bogie seems to have gained a tremendous amount of energy." One of the pilots shouted. "And it's headed for Tokyo at an incredible speed."

"News feed says tens of thousands of people are missing from Fareast City." another pilot said. "Vanished into thin air. Authorities are in a panic, there's a state of emergency."

[color=9f2b28]"What do you mean tens of thousands of people are missing?"[/color] Kazuya shouted. [color=9f2b28]"We were just over there! Not an hour ago!"[/color]

"Where is it?" Boss asked.

"Still over the pacific, but at the rate it's going, it'll get to the site before we do."

Boss nodded. "I'll go head it off. Buy us some time. Edge, stay with Kazuya."

And like that, Boss was gone.

[color=9f2b28]"How much faster can we go?"[/color] Kazuya asked.

"All four engines are at max, sir. We're going as fast as we-"

[color=9f2b28]"Go faster."[/color] Kazuya said. [color=9f2b28]"Overclock the engines if you have to, and make sure there's a fresh transport ready on site. Our first priority now is getting that gemstone out of Tokyo."[/color]

Darkside | Boss

Darkside flew over the ocean with all his might-until he ran smack into what seemed to be an invisible wall. As fast as he was going, that hurt.

"You seem to be in quite a hurry." Boss said. He was floating about ten feet above the surf, one hand in his pocket, relaxed. "Goin' anywhere special?"

After the battle seemed to simmer down, Cadolbolg alighted on Devon's shoulder again, Ton Ton scurrying over to the other side while the turtle-dragon baby huddled against the bard's neck, "Brr... I'm glad that's over. So, is he gonna accept his Shadow thingy or what? Sticking around in this place much longer doesn't sound too fun."

Ton Ton gave a small shake of his head and shrugged, [color=15650D]"Dunno if this is something that can be rushed, Cadolbolg. Anyways, Cadolbolg's a little shaken up, Ella, but I think in general, everyone's doing okay. How about you Devon? Nothing got too hurt on your end, did it?"[/color]

Garm occupied himself with looking over his Pup with a curious nose as she busied herself in looking over the wounded bearer of the Shadow, Toyotama spreading the healing Aura around to those around her as the Cleric examined her patient. As she worked to remove the bullets and begin suturing up the varying wounds; the Cleric's brow furrowed in disbelief at the claim of Deadshot's cannibalism, [color=0E59e4]"He ate someone?! That can't be healthy... David, I'm going to need an hour to change my spells if I'm going to fix him up completely. I can't get rid of whatever diesase he might have contracted from eating a dead body. For now, I can only fix the physical stuff here. Also, if any of you are hurt, just stand by Toyotama for a few minutes."[/color]

Spoiler: Running tally of current magical or otherwise effects cast in battle

Who has it

Everyone

I'd put something clever here, but I don't have the idea for the jokes. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fon3emzyrcU]

Caim, seeing that Rugal was going for the thorns as well, decided to aid his comrade by turning his attention to the thorns Rugal was fiercely throwing himself into. However, what he did not expect was to see Melethia among them. This only increased the warrior's vigor in helping Rugal get the kid outta there, and shouted to his Persona through the PDA,

"ODIN, KEEP THOSE WEAPONS OFF OUR BACKS!"

The old Persona merely gave a grim nod before unsheathing the blade hidden under his cloak. Giving the sword a wide swing, a sonic blast emanated back towards a wave of swords, sending them back towards their attacker.

As for Angelus, she was trying to direct Echidna to shoot small homing fireballs at the Shadow as it made it's passed by; but given that the Shadow was so well hidden in the brambles, it was hard for the dragoness to say. Either way, once items began to fall downwards, Angelus beseeched her Persona, "Echidna, shield Jenny and Cz from harm!"
With an unfurling of her great wings, the serpent-woman spread the wings over the two like a great blanket, and Angelus could only look further for the Shadow as things wore on....

Akane | Angelus | Caim | Cz | Jenny | Kalastryn | Lucieon | Melethia | Ornstein | Ryan | Rugal | Slindis | Som

Ornstein answered first, curtly, but not kindly. His voice was inaudible, but his intentions clear. He swung his spear around and forced Ryan back a few steps. "Command Economy: Dead-weight Loss!"Lucieon's voice cut through the night air like a blazing fire across a plane. It stoked the darkness and flared the light around it. The lightning field around Ornstein intensified and expanded outward, devouring the shadows before dissipating. Ornstein seemed to glow with power.

Concern yourself with matters of your own kind, dragon disciple.

"I don't like you, but I am not stupid. I fully intend to work with you when necessary," Lucieon said softly with a mix of reluctance and angry persuasion. He turned to face Ryan, his own stature very imposing in the glow of electric energy. His hair like spun gold, his eyes deathly powder blue. His skin a healthy hue like that of unspoiled olives. Estoc hung limply from his side, clasped in soft leather straps to a hard metal belt. There were other things on that belt. Relics from enemy and friends alike. What Ryan recognized easily was a hand painted talisman used by Solaire, a Red Eye orb of Darkstalker Kaathe, and a blue eye orb of Dark Moon Gywndolin. This man had to qualms about killing others for profit and then switching sides without remorse whenever he felt it benefited him more. "As for matters of my current employer," he growled, "it's simple to say that a particularly eccentric Mage in Red is making me ensure the survival of this particular group of people."

He pointed toward Cz with his black card in hand, emphasizing who was really important to his mission. Cz was tending to Jenny tenderly, somehow overwrought with emotion. To Lucieon, she seemed broken. He would fix her when they left Philemon's influence.

Time: 4:00 PM​

Darren | Deborah | Kyre | Titania

Kyre looked puzzled, her brow furrowed slightly, exposing her iron branch tattoos right above her eyebrows. "What does he mean when he says he would..."

"Ahem," Titania cut her off before she could finish articulating her question and thought. Hopefully it would never come up again. "Never mind that right now Ms. Cwanuld, we have far more important matters to deal with." She walked up to Darren and put a small dainty hand on his scruffy clothes. Deborah looked like she was about to protest, but kept her silence.

Titania pulled softly on his clothes and tore them off, scattering them to the harsh midwest winds. Beneath the ragged jacket and shirt was a fine silk doublet and linen trousers. The little white-headed girl swept her fingers along the silk, tugging at it so it made a pleasurable scratching noise of rippling threads. His skin felt clean all of a sudden, and so it was, his hair trimmed and styled. His small-clothes were now a soft plush cashmere. Darren's feet sunk into his shoes, now leather and plush.

"He certainly looks the part now," Kyre mused. She swung her hips to her side and smiled before nodding knowingly in agreement to her own statement.

Darren almost spoke up to ask what was going on when a sleek grey mask affixed itself to his face. It was now unremovable, locked into place as if it were his skin. It felt strangely natural on him, keeping him warm and clearing the weariness that clouded his vision. "You are going to find a girl for me... I don't know if she's dead or locked away or what. Maybe she's in another world entire. I don't know. But you're going to make yourself useful Darren. You've seen a great deal in your now-immortal life. I have a plan for you. You are going to go with Ms. Cwanuld Darren, and you are going to find me a girl."

She paused and looked at Darren, whose face now was hidden behind the half-smile half-grimace of the theatre mask. Then she continued before he could say anything. "but Titania," she said, "what girl am I suppose to find for you? You almighty mistress of all magic and things wonderful. Beautiful, young, and irresistible to all men." She gave a coy smile, "Well, she's got big bouncy breasts, unlike me. She's got garish blue hair that's short but oh-so-soft, unlike my long luxurious white locks. She has eyes of amethyst, which almost looks like mine, and she has the world's worst fashion sense. She loves wearing the color yellow, and she adores one, single, very, annoying, human, male. Got it yet?" Titania gave Darrena long hard look, "No? How about another hint. For a good while Ms. Cwanuld over there had the hots for her, and just couldn't let her go. Got it now?"

She smiled, guessing that the face behind the mask had finally come to realize his task.

"Got it yet? I want you to find Kurumu and kill her," titania's eyes were wild with bloodlust, "and I want you to murder her. Maker her unrecognizable. Obliterate, erase, mutilate, burn, destroy. I want her so thoroughly dead that there is no chance of her ever coming back into existence. You have your Writer's powers, and you have Ms. Cwanuld over there. Use her however you like, I couldn't care less! Just make sure you kill your target!" Titania was smiling madly. It was beyond terrifying.

Darren | Deborah | Kyre | Titania

"Lady, I don't know if you noticed, but I am VERY desperate to cease existing..." Was Darren's answer to Kyre's question before Titania both somehow managed to rip all his clothes off and deck him out him out in a fancy suit.
"...Huh...Oka-HEY!" He was about to react before the mask snapped onto his face, locking into place before he could protest.
"...Okay, not looking like a homeless guy, I get, but is the mask really necessary?......I mean, I don't hate it, but I'd like to have a say the matter." He asked as he tried to pry it off, unaware of the fact that he seemed to look attractive now (Least as far of Kyre was concerned).
Then he got his mission briefing and, despite Titania being clear on who he was after and what to do with her, one question remained.

"Wait?...You mean Kyre there was-...Huh...News to me..." He mused, starting to wonder what other vital details he had missed by skipping over those massive posts that Meh and Dissy made back in the day, and now onto a real question.
"...Okay...Kill Kurumu, make it painful, gotcha. Slight Snag though: Judging by how much you want her dead, you would have done it if you had the chance. Now, I get the upsides to hiring an immortal man to kill someone, but...If you couldn't find her with all your power inter-realm nonsense, What the hell do I do? It's not like Mark left an address lying around..." He then pointed out as he fiddled with his mask some more.
"...Also, can I get a mirror or something? Just want to at least see what this fucking thing looks like..."

Time: Early evening​

Kazuya | Edge

The anger that was building up in Kazuya was quickly starting to reach critical mass, the idea of letting something get past him like that before going off on such a rampage was not something that appealed to him.
[color=9f2b28]"...Clearly, He is far more of a threat then I thought. I'm going to have to raise the alert..."[/color] He said before getting on the radio as they entered Tokyo Airspace.
[color=9f2b28]"Attention All G-Corp Security Personal: We are now at Code Kaiju[footnote]Basically the code for a Godzilla Attack. Yeah, he's going that far[/footnote]. The entire city is now to be considered a active combat zone. Get all defenses ready. The Target is a average sized Humanoid being with Ki based powers. If he so much as steps a foot into the city, I want him fighting for his dear life just to take another. We've done our drills thousands of times. Don't. Fail. Me."[/color] He ordered his men before looking out the window to see dozens of armed helicopters start flying from the G-Corp building as well as squads of armed men in APCs starting to occupy the entire city. (Visual Aid: Video, First 30 seconds or so)

Whatever he thought about Darkside now was meaningless, Kazuya was now fully intent on militarizing every inch of the city if he had to for all the embarrassment he had caused him in the last hour.
[color=9f2b28]"Change of plans, we're going straight for the Gem. And by god, if I don't see an entire army there, You're all fired. Kazuya out."[/color] He finished before crushing the radio in his hand and started pacing though the transport, stretching and doing what he could to vent this pent up anger.
"[sub]...Pssss....Hey, Watch what you say aroun him. The Boss get's a little "Fighty" when he's nervous.[/sub]" The Pilot then whispered to Edge, not like he needed the warning though, it was clear just from failing attempts to calm himself down.

 

[Orinon]

In Tokyo Japan
The streets of Tokyo ere alive and swarming, A small Cafe had two young teenagers enjoying a meal, one was a 14 year old Girl with blonde hair and which divided into what could be two ponytails, the other was a young man about 16, he was rather pale with long messy raven hair. You could assume the two were on a date with the girl smiling and laughing.

"Wow Icarus I didn't know you were this funny." Serena said laughing Icarus smiled back his violet eyes sparkled, He hoped he didn't stand out too much though that was hard, he was wearing a navy blue tunic and black pants, with black leather boots, he had a bag resting beside his chair but as he smiled he was nervous and tense
Come on just a bit closer and I can get her purse, I hate to steal them but If I don't everything could go wrong.
He managed very carefully take the purse with his foot.
He smiled and 'accidentally' dropped one of his chopsticks, he dropped down and rifled through the purse taking the three rainbow crystals after transferring them to his bag he got back up.
Now I just need an excuse to get away He though to himself as suddenly things got hectic, the city was being evacuated.
Icarus realized he couldn't leave serena yet she could run into danger.
"Serena lets get out of here quick.
The young girl got up and Icarus handed her her purse she smiled and 'accidentally' slipped and fell into Icarus's eyes,
"You;ve been so very good to me" she said giving him the butterfly lashes
"You know your kinda cute"
"Umm thanks my mom said I was a cute kid"
He laugh and leans in closer
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Shit what do I do?
Suddenly Darien showed up
"hey meatball head what are you wasting that guy's time?"
Serena face turned red
"Shut UP DARIEN" Serena screamed, suddenly the military came walking, with several people moving briskly
"Keep moving people we got an evacuation going on high level threat don't panic just keep moving." they shouted Darien realized what was going on
"Serena go with Darien get somewhere safe, trust me on this." with that he backed up he hated using his illusions but he had little choice he made himself as noticeable as a rock, as long as he didn;t do anything to draw attention to himself he would be fine.

The military moved past him taking a yelling Serena with them Icarus then quietly moved forward, he had to get to kazuya however as he ran his illusion broke and a cop stopped him.
"You should be evacuating boy"
"Look I just need to see-"
"Whats the matter got a problem with authority?"
"well no it's just I-"
"Whats this?" he grabbed a small bottle and opened it
"Aren't you a bit young to be drinking Sake son?" he smirked and began to raise the bottle to his mouth
"I wouldn't drink that if I were you."
The cop scoffed at him and took a fairly large swig he then began to cough not expecting something this strong.
Icaurs took his opening and with one smack to a pressure point the cop slumped unconscious
"Sorry sir." he said as he gently lowered the officer and took back his sake, sealing the strong solution back up.
He saw two military people and headed for them
"Hey you guys I need to see your boss."
"Son give us one reason to not send you to the evacuation spot right now."
Icarus rolled his eyes and made his wings appear.
"does that give you a clue?"
The men were surprised
"Umm well he'll be here within minutes so umm yeah you could meet him I guess I'll just call it in."
Icarus nodded and flew to meet Kazuya's transport as one of the soldiers called to let them know he'd have an interception.
Over the Ocean
"You got some nerve trying to fight me alone especially considering how your friends couldn't defeat me together, they just managed to remove my arm which as you can see I've regrown, I also regret to inform you that I've only increased in power, I shall become absolute perfection and you merely slow down my progress"
As he spoke he was gathering energy into his palms he wanted to finish him quickly.
He glared
"Besides you can;t even sense my energy, Your fighting blind."

Kazuya | Edge

"...Um...Sir?..."
[color=9f2b28]"What now?!"[/color] Kazuya groaned as he paced to the cockpit to see what his pilot was going on about: An Angel? here?
[color=9f2b28]"A Angel? Ohhhhhhh, They have some nerve showing their faces here after all they did..."[/color] He growled, remembering the Angel War with Tomoya, needless to say, he wasn't a fan of them.
"I...Think it's trying to hail us?"
[color=9f2b28]"Fine, Open the rear door and let him in. [sub]I need to Vent anyway[/sub]."[/color] Kazuya then ordered as the Transport opened up, allowing Icarus to fly in.
Once he did, he was meet instantly with a rather displeased looking Kazuya.
[color=9f2b28]"The Agreement was in exchange of not pursuing your kind, you would stay out of my city. Tell me, why have you broken our terms now of all times?"[/color] He said to Icarus, unaware that he wasn't technically one of the underlings of the Arch Angels of Heaven that he had dealings with in the past.

Darkside | Boss

Boss stopped and thought. "I will grant you all of those points." Boss said, nodding. "But I still have the advantage here. Because while Kazuya and Edge are powerful in their own right-"

Edge teleported just a few feet above Darside and threw a psychic volley, hitting him with the force of a speeding freight train. Darkside went flying back into the ocean. "I'm pretty sure they can't do that."

Kazuya | Edge | Icarus

Icarus stammered
"Wh-what do you mean?" he saw Kazuya's glare, he got a bit nervous
"What agreement I never heard of this, besides my kind?" his wings folded and disappeared something taht almost no angel could do their wings were real while his merely imitated the look.
I thought you;d be happier to see me, I was bringing you the crystals, with that he held out one of the rainbow crystals it was bright red and seemed to have an energy to it.
Kazuya's eyes widened.
"But if you don't want a half angel's help I could take this and fly off to Canada they won;t mind a half angel." he fixed Kazuya with a look one that was all too familiar.
Over the pacific
Darkside flew back up gasping for air after being knocked into what was essentially concrete but with the threat of drowning.
"That-Proves....Nothing" he said
"Spirit Dragon Fury!" he screamed as he launched an attack teh bright energy hit Boss, the normal psychic sheild buckled under the pressure, knocking boss back several feet.
I don;t have time to waste with you. he said glaring but his bluff was clear that had hurt him and he was resentful for it.
"How about you run off before I Consume you like I did those city folk."

Darkside | Boss

Boss huffed. That had been...unexpected. He was half-joking before, but truth be told, Darkside was right; he was more or less fighting blind. Whatever Darkside was attacking him with, it wasn't physical force, and Boss could see that his psychic barriers were unable to properly stop them.

I can still dodge, though Boss though. And I'm faster than him. He needs to focus his energy to attack; I don't. And all I need to do is stall.

Boss brought his mental barriers in closer to him, and hardened them. Even if they weren't very effective, a little defense went a long way. "Not sure that would work against me!" Boss shouted. "Y' wanna come and try?"

He suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Boss, a kick sent him fling he followed up striking at almost random directions He kept knocking him around until Boss was propelled right into Darkside's open palm where he unleashed on the Blast this one hurt significantly greater.
"I warned you not to cross me." He looked at boss with the intent of making him pay for staling him.

"Hold on." Edge said, stepping forward. "That stone. I need to see that."

Icarus was hesitant. "No. What do you need it for?"

"I have a friend who put himself in grave danger." Edge said. "And I need to know if he is in even more danger than either of us thought. It will only take a moment."

Icarus...was still hesitant, but he wasn't going to deny a request for a friend. Icarus held out his hand, with the gem. "Very well, but only for a moment."

Edge nodded, and took the stone in hand. Immediately, the gem began to glow with a gentle inner light. "...heathen fucking." Edge said, handing the stone back to Icarus. "Thank you. Truly." Edge turned to Kazuya. "Take it or don't, but we need to go right now. Boss isn't going to be able to hold that thing off for long. He may have just walked into a deathtrap."

Darkside | Boss

Boss went flying, skipping over the water twice before he could right himself. Drenched head to toe, breathless, and bleeding from his arm, he rose from the ocean.What the hell? Boss thought It can teleport? Or is it just that fast? And how did it move like-

Boss shook his head. No. Don't panic. Quiet and calm. Quiet and calm. Boss took a deep breath, then another. Defense isn't working. I don't even know why I tried that. Time to switch it up.

Boss flew at Darkside and threw another psychic attack at him, twice as powerful as the first one. And another. And another. And another. And when he was sure Darkside was at least staggered, he reached out, grabbed the thing with his mind, and yanked him towards himself, rushing forward at the same time, ready to hit the monster with the force of a ballistic missile.

Frozen Moscow: Annie, Cadolbolg, Constance, David, Devon, Ella, Garm, Teri, Ton Ton, Yu, Deadshot, Shadow!Deadshot

The bit of Healing that Teri did went a long way in terms of getting Deadshot back on his feet, albeit still shaky and confused as to what the hell was going on.
"uhhhhhhh...somone turn none the damn heating..." He groaned as the many, many, MANY cuts and bumps he got over his stay in Moscow were fixed up, Teri noticed that was more Rugal Level of medical attention.
"Yu, you might want to lay off on the whole "Self Help" thing, he's in a world of his own right now...Literally." David remarked, figuring that Deadshot was not really "All There" just yet.
His shadow on the other hand was only getting more and more upset with the situation.
"...You want to know what I realized was a grave mistake?...Letting you live." He growled as a *ding* filled the air as the pin of a Flash-Bang Grenade bounced off the ice before he lobbed it as far as he could with Ella holding him.

The world flashed white as all sound left the world, or rather a REALLY loud sound drowned it all out, as the Shadow used this chance to break the hold, grabbing the glass shiv on the ground before rushing in.
From a strategic stand point, Annie was the best target, seeing how she had the largest Persona, on top of the sheer revenge value.
It nearly worked too, as everyone's vision began restore, he was already mid dash and mid lunge, least before the Real Deadshot tackled him, resulting in the two wrestling on the ground over the Shiv.
As a veteran of several bar fights, it was really a sight to behold for those who could actually see it as they exchanged punches, headbutts and whatever else they could.
At first, The Shadow managed to get the upper hand, managing to pin his otherside down before attempting to drive the Shiv into his chest, only to stop in fear when Deadshot managed to press his Wrist gun into the side of his head.
"...You wouldn't..."
"Oh, no, wouldn't dream of it, not after all the FUN we had! Nothing like reliving the most HORRIFIC FUCKING MOMENT OF MY LIFE!"
"And it was your fault, you did this to them!"
"AND WHO'S FUCKING IDEA WAS IT!? HUH!? YOU THINK I DID THAT WILLINGLY!? AND WHICH ONE OF US DRAGGED US BACK HERE?! CAUSE IT SURE WASN'T ME, *****!"
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK SHIT AFTER WHAT YOU DID!"
"BUT AT LEAST I'M WILLING TO ADMIT IT! YES! YES! I AM HORRIBLE GODDAMN PERSON! YES, I DON'T GET TO CALL BULLSHIT! BUT GUESS WHAT!? SO. ARE. YOU!"

The Shadow seemed to freeze at this, just long enough for Deadshot to get a leg free and kick him off before getting back to his feet and violently kicking his Shadow while he was done, loudly Punctuating each kick with a new swear word ("Sodding tramp shiner! Slut Diarrhea! Spazz Dictator!" and so on) for a good few minutes until he had to stop to catch his breath.
"...I'm a total prick, I know it. Will that change?...I dunno, but lord knows if I have to deal with this shit, you ain't getting a free pass either...Me..."
The Shadow then faded with the acknowledgement as Deadshot began to wobble away, clearly after getting though some deep seeded self loathing issues.
Then he asked the one question that bugged him above all.

"...When did I get a jacket?..."

Darkside felt genuine fear as the psychic blasts came and he felt himself getting pulled towards His opponent, he had to finish him quickly he drew his knife and dived hdling it in fornt of him ready if Boss attacked he would literally fly into the dagger. He hoped Boss would split and run off, either that or he'd have to hope to finish him, then consume him.


|Edge|Kazuya|Icarus|
Icarus nodded and jumped off the plane,
"we should move as fast as we can then, We can't let Darkside get too strong, I don;t know a lot about him but in lets just say I know about the fight, you guys had on entry, I didn't want to use this but it's my best bet."
He raised his hand and from the void a sword dropped, there was something dark about it
"In case your wondering this thing is called Dark Excalibur, It can drain life energy." he tied the sword's scabbard to his back.
he then flew as fast as he could to where Darkside and Boss were using their direction as a fair guess,
I can;t let that thing grow it could ruin the future, The monster should be over there in the ocean, that thing learns fast though, and if your fighting it alone it just has to get you into a grab.
He grimaced as he sped hoping he'd make it in time.

[color=9f2b28]"DAMMIT! GET BACK HERE WITH THOSE! GRRRRR! FOLLOW THEM! DON'T LET THEM OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!"[/color] He barked at the pilot before the Transport he was in took off after them, That Angel was going to get them all killed if Darkside got those gems.

Satisfied with the acceptance of the shadow and the unlocking of a Persona, Yu nodded to himself. Remembering each time he has seen this scene with each of his friends and some of this crew, seeing the Persona card land into Deadshot's soul, Yu knew what next to do. "I don't know." Yu shrugged to Deadshot at why he had a coat, once again sticking with his deadpan like face. "We should get you out, you must exhausted ... everyone usually does." Yu said to Deadshot and looked towards the big group.

"Lets ... get out of here. The cold might give us some sickness." Yu said to everyone, his hand holding a weird object, it looked like a ball covered in white fog. This was on object Yu had gained from his own adventures, it covered the groups escape of a Dungeon or Shadow World. "Lets get our stuff together, tell me when you all want out of this place." Yu saying, keeping his large sheathed katana in one hand. Izanagi at this point was already gone.

The events all happened too fast for Ella and Devon to process, and the pair simply turned to the others afterwards.

[color=00c863]"Let's get out of here, then."[/color] Devon did her best to keep the group bundled up, but it was clear that the bard and Ella wanted out of Russia now.

I'd put something clever here, but I don't have the idea for the jokes. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fon3emzyrcU]



As Melethia was dragged out of the brambles, the Shadow gritted its teeth as it took the blows and leapt in for a killing blow only to get punched into the briars by Slindis.


[color=c200]"Melethia, I know you're awake, so listem to me. You are not dead weight. You have never been dead weight. If you want to think that because I wasn't around in Stormreach, I was busy stopping the Emerald Claw from taking you almost constantly. Teri's always valued you as a person, so she doesn't think of you as dead weight.

Rugal's always cred for you as one of the most lively people he knows. THe ship never has considered only your skills to be beneficial; they want you there. So come on, Melethia. Stand up and show this shadow that you're not defined by your awful past."[/color]

Melethia feebly gets up, grabs her Evoker dagger, and stabs the Shadow in the foot. "DOn't shout out; I know exactly what I can handle... You know, I thought I was weak always looking at the others on th ship. I always thought I was next on the cutting block because of what we went through in the past. No Longer... Today, we're dismantling all of this nonsense and cutting through to the truth of the matter."

When Melethia finished saying that, the Shadow pulled the dagger out of its foot and shook Melethia's hand, changing the dead forest into something else entirely. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Meadow-and-gallery-forest.jpg/640px-Meadow-and-gallery-forest.jpg]

"We've still got a lot to do today, so let's keep goin'."

Kazuya | Edge | Icarus

As the Trio raced towards Boss's Aid, Kazuya had now taken direct control of the Transport ship as he tailed Icarus and Edge, quickly accelerating in front to cut them off before using the intercom to talk to them.
[color=9f2b28]

"Attention: If you two want to fight him, That's fine by me and I have re-enforcements inbound. But if Darkside get's his hands on those gems, then Boss is dead anyway. Give them to me so I can contain and neutralize them back at HQ where he can't get them. I'm not letting Boss Die, but I'm not letting you just play into Darkside's hands like that. It's not a complex decision. I'm opening the rear ramp, just throw them in and I'll double back to G-Corp."

[/color] He explained as he opened the rear ramp, revealing the former pilot standing by to take them from the Angel.

"Believe me, I'm making the right call here. If you think you can take him head on, go ahead, but my city is doomed if you fail and that's not a risk I'm willing to accept. Now hurry up, I only have so much fuel on this thing left!"

[/color]
Kazuya was REALLY adamant about getting those gems it seemed.

Kazuya | Edge | Icarus

Icaurs was a bit unsure of just handing over three gemstones, then again it wasn't Kazuya knew how many there was.
with sleight of hand he unslung his bag and tossed the gemstones but he also secretly took one for himself to hold onto, just in case something went wrong, He and Edge then moved around the chooper and flew off.
"Hey edge, I know you fought him before, and ou know boss what are boss's chances alone? he he'll be fine right?"
He flew fast, hoping things would turn out correctly. Of course he couldn't be certain but if he remembered correstly the Monster obtained his second form by fighting someone alone. He wasn't sure if he was going to cause damage but if he was careful he couldn't see how Darkside could obtain his next form.

Moscow Annie, Cadolbolg, Constance, David, Devon, Ella, Garm, Teri, Ton Ton, Yu
ONE MORE TIME!

Needless to say, this was the last thing Deadshot was expecting (Though that could be applied to a lot of things these days) when Annie flat out hugged him.
"Right...Just...You *Might* want to get this thing washed now..." He remarked, clearly a jab at his own appearance given the current situation.
Either way, he took it off and threw it back over her saying "Also, you might want this more then me. I lasted this long." before advancing to the others in the group namely David.
"...Seriously...You actually wanted to save my ass?..."
"For legal purposes, I'm only going to refer to it as "Killing Other-You's ass"."
"Phew, for a moment there I was worried I'd have to thank you."
"Fuck you too, fuck you too."
Despite everything, the two snipers managed to shake hands before Yu called for the group to move out.
"Damn Straight, I need to get home in time to tuck Yu's Mom in!" He then crudely joked.
"...[sub]Yep...He's back[/sub]..." David couldn't help but chuckle.

Calm Forest - Spring Meadow: Akane, Angelus, Caim, Cz, Jenny, Kalastryn, Lucieon, Melethia, Ryan, Rugal, Slindis, Som
The Cheesiest song possible [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04854XqcfCY]

Battered, Bruised, Torn, Cut, Shot, Bleeding, all of these words could be used to describe Rugal at this point in time, thanks to traps, arrows and basically shoving his hands into what could be considered Nature's version of Iron Maiden.
Still, once he saw Melethia safe and sound in the arms of her mother, he knew it was worth it.
Though as he picked himself up, he realized one thing: He'd like to not have to take as many arrows next time.
"...You two okay?" He had the nerve to ask, despite looking like someone out of some gory war film cross bred with an archery target.
[color=c00000]"Don't move, you're bleeding heavily, just hold on and let me stop it."[/color]
"Alright...though, I'm personally more worried about the arrows. I lost track after the first 10 bolts." He admitted as he yanked out one out of his arm, prompting Melethia to examine it for a moment.
"Pffff, You're worried about these Wheathair? These would be lucky to get though rusted chain mail." she said dismissively, getting a reply in the form of "...Too bad I didn't bring any of that then..." followed by a brief laugh as he was tended to.

Jenny meanwhile was finally starting to come around, much to the joy of Akane (She was still there ^^ as she slightly stirred under the protection of Echidna as Cz watched.
She was alive and stay that way, though it was clear that she wouldn't be moving without assistance anytime soon.
Barring some slight movement, she still seemed out of it for the most part, but she was alive...
"Yes...We're alive...No thanks to you..."
