The League: Bloodlines ((Started/Closed))

[Fishtie]

The third dart that Garkar tossed didn't deflect off the scorpion's hard carapace, but found a gap and speared the giant bug causing it to twitch for a moment then stop dead.

With no more of the giant bugs moving Garkar moved back towards the others in the group. There was little denying that they fought many strange things. He wondered for a moment if things were always so strange in these southern lands.

<spoiler=OOC>Since apparently you are all not in the cave system... I will make shit completely obvious for you all then.

"Nothing major" Zero said as he continued cleaning his gauntlets. "I found some people who wished not to tell me what is going on. They quickly changed their minds" he said with a smile. Inside the cave, it all began ot rumble, and the roof gained cracks in it. "Out! Outoutoutoutoutout!" Zero chanted and pushed at some of the people to the nearest exit, trying to get them to leave as the cave appeared to be crashing. The cracks widened, and rocks started to fall from the roof, Zero grabbed the injured and dragged them out of the tunnel.

He burst into the sunlight, and as he turned around, the tip of the mountain seemed to be a lot lower, and off at a different angle. The top half of the mountain seemed to be sinking lower.

A residual heat started emanating from the cave they came from, as rocks continued to fill up the hole. "I was not doing that" Zero plainly stated since he felt as he was missing before he was to blame. A muffled laughter came form inside the rocks, deep in the mountain, but it was quickly drowned out by a large "SCREE!" from the rocks. The sound pierced the rocks falling, and echoed within itself, though there was nothing for to echo against. Light burst from mountain, and out came a majestic beast, Fire taken the shape of a bird. The bird screamed across the sky, leaving a small trail of fire as it moved through the sky. It landed near the Champions, and looked at them with a keen eye, Before letting out another deafening "SCREE!". The bird stood perched, ready to do something if the people decided to be hostile, but was being cautious to start.

At the rim of the hole in the mountain, a man in a pitch black cloak stood and laughed. In his hand he held a simple staff, coloured orange and was covered in black swirls, and was slightly crooked, not being perfectly carved out.

<spoiler=OOC>Final confrontation, go go go!

A large rock was smashed out of the way to reveal a golden orb slowly making its way out of the mountain. Strife, Grimm, and Ramba were contained within, and the orb finally dissipated when the sunlight reached them. The oldest hero took a deep breath after the exertion, and found himself staring at a massive bird of fire a short distance away. Even closer was a laughing, cloaked man. He saw the others standing below and facing off with the giant bird.

"What do you think?" He asked his two companions. "I say we take the man while they take the bird. But I am open to suggestions."

Matridom looked a tiny bit shaken. " I Need you guys to distract and weaken it but i think i can take it." with that she started to meditate blue flames encapsulating her hole body and wings, with a spark jumping off every once in a while. "You realize you'll nearly kill yourself if you go through with this right?" Zechs said to her in her mind. "Yes, i am well aware of the consequences, but if it saves these people, my only friends then i shall do it." she replied to him. "Its going to take a while to charge but it'll be worth it in the end" she said to the group once more

 

[mcpop9]

While concentrating she also tried talking to the bird but to no avail for all she could hear screaming through it's head was "FOOD!"
Seeing Lorronix shaking her head, Matridom said to the group "I know things are about to go south really quickly, it sees us as food! When the fighting starts i need to be protected for i have a little surprise for our large friend, everyone understand?"

 

[SteakHeart]

The Enemy formed a shield out of metal in her left arm. "Get behind me, I'm not gonna let any of you get roasted." She formed a long knife in the other hand and shivered as Lorronix brought on the cold. "Can you make water, Lorronix? I know a way to get this bird to chill out..."

Spoiler: OOC

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH but seriously, I'm going to Boston tomorrow, and I won't be able to post as much for about a week.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Lets tear this man apart." Strife laughed, armoring his arms up and starting to walk slowly towards the man holding his staff up and laughing.

"So old man. Whats it gonna be? You gonna die quietly or are you going to make this fun for me?" Strife asked as he started a sprint towards the old man with a staff.

 

[thegamermn]

Fuam made a series of chirps, mimicking some bird-song he had heard, hoping to confuse it at least somewhat as he tried to figure out what exactly he should do, looking between the peonix and the man with the staff, trying to discove whether there was a direct connection between the two

 

[TheIronRuler]

screw this "Floating men. This is where I draw the line" Eve turned around and began walking away from the group. Let the cocky bastard deal with him "Screw you. I did not agree to fight flowting men and a giant phoenix." Eve continued.
"If you carved up the Hydra you can carve that thing, pretty boy" She yelled at Strife. I'm tired of bleeding

 

[thegamermn]

Fuam's attention was broken as he heard Eve speaking. He looked over his shoulder at her and gave a confused expression, leaving the building tension for a moment before trotting to catch up to Eve. "Can I ask why you want to leave so badly?" He queried simply, keeping part of his attention on the group behind him.

 

[SteakHeart]

The Enemy looked to Eve. "Are you CRAZY?" she said. "We need all the help we can get!" She looked over to the man. "Just shoot something at him, right thruogh the head! It'll be over in a flash."

 

[nuba km]

Adam was first mesmerized when he saw the bird, from legends he knew it as a phoenix, he then proceeded to take his chest plate off. after he did so he unrolled a large set of bat wings, nearly as big as Matridom's wings, 'we have wings, lets fly' he said to matridom in a screechy voice.

Adam then flew up into the sky with his spear, he flew higher then the phoenix and then proceeded to dive towards the phoenix's neck with his spear held out in front of him, ready to pierce the neck.

 

[mcpop9]

"Such an enticing offer but i need to focus for later, please don't disturb me." she said as the Blue flames encasing her grew larger and the ground started cracking under Matridom's fett and her eyes turned solid black.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Eve kept on walking.
"Why did we kill the Hydra in the first place" she asked the others behind her without turning around. why did I try and help
"Why do we even need to face that thing?" Eve stopped walking. I have nothing to do with it
"I don't want to bleed for anyone but me. There's nothing here for me." Eve said. no place to call home. no person to love. "You do your heroics. Sacrifice yourselves." Eve began walking away from the group.
I only have one god now. nothing else

 

[thegamermn]

"I see...I had hoped you had come to consider me a comrade, at least, if not a friend. And I wish you would stay if for no other reason than someone to talk with...but if you truly want to leave--if you truly feel you have nothing worth fighting for--then I won't stop you."
He said, somewhat softly, before continuing.

"I have a home along the coast, near Delphi. If you ever want help or a decent meal:seek me out there...providing of course I survive." He then turned and headed back for the rest of the group, working his muscles to loosen them and humming softly to prepare his vocal chords.

 

[CJ1145]

Ramba watched as Strife charged towards the cloaked man rashly. He preferred a more subtle approach and took to calmly walking towards the cloaked figure, taking in as deep of breaths as he could as his power slowly built under his skin. If danger came to himself or his comrades he would prevent it. Lang's power was limitless, and he would demonstrate that. His hair glowed brightly, recognizable even in the daylight; even his eyes began to sparkle with raw power.

 

[mcpop9]

"Eve if you wont fight, then at least stay for the show. You won't be disappointed." Matridom said. Chunks of earth started to break free from the ground and Blue Flames Erupted from her eyes.
The Creature started to look concerned about the dragoness on the ground in front of him.
"This thing is starting to get agitated, can we do something about it please?"

 

[SteakHeart]

"Eve," Tamu said, "if we don't defeat this, many more will die. And with your help, we can beat him." She turned to Fuam. "On a different note, any clue how to kill this thing?"

 

[KronosTalon]

Variava had been mindlessly dawdling about, wondering what everyone was doing while he was looking at some sticks he had picked up, sharpening them slightly to see if they could be made into some good arrows. He dropped all but one, feeling the wood was good to work with. He sharpened the front to a perfect point and pricked his finger with it, giggling slightly. He pulled a small pouch of chicken feathers and fastened some to the back of his arrow, completing the thing. Wasn't his best work, but it would help. That's about when the groud started to rumble and the mountain nearby looked like it collapsed.

Variava went wide eyed as he saw the mountain shift and his eyes quickly flared into action, looking for signs of movement from anything other than tumbling rocks. He focused on a snail for a few seconds, before shifting his gaze and seeing a man in a black robe. Before he could concentrate further a bird of flame flew forth from the broken mountain, hurting his eyes as he focused on it. He saw it fly down and begin to land. He chucked a rock at it, but it didn't come anywhere close, his eyes still sensitive to the heat. He began to run toward where it landed, hoping to find the others.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Eve stopped as soon as she began feeling the earth moving. something big is coming Eve turned around and looked at the floating man from a distance. In the ground, some sort of a large red pit opened up. Eve began hearing strong dog barks. I can feel my heart
From the pit a gigantic paw appeared, and then another one. it's pulling up It began pulling in its body and then it revealed its head. It was a dog; a giant, black, demonic, three headed dog. Cerberus. I can't fight this madness
It launched itself into the air and landed on the earth, shaking the ground and causing Eve to fall back. it's so big it could reach the heavens Eve could barely breathe as the giant mountain sized black three headed dog stood up and revealed it's teeth, each bigger than a house.
The pit didn't close. There were more coming from the deep.
Unbearable screeches came from the pit. As the screeches became louder the pit grew smaller, closing itself. From the closing hole large birds came out. They had the wings and legs of birds, but the head and torso of a woman. this is madness
"We feed tonight, sisters" one of these abominations cried out.
The dog barked once. The harpies scrambled to stand in line, floating in the air.
did they just talk? The dog opened its mouth, this time it seemed as if he weren't about to bark, "We have been called by own master. Let us serve him, not us." it talked.
the giant three headed dog talked from his central head...
we are all going to die... I can't run now...
Eve tried to stand up and regain he composure.
Save me, Elohim, save me
