- I closed my eyes an d began to breath as I heard the death throes of a few men as the fighting broke out. Then all of a sudden an immense weight was shifted on to my back. I dropped to me knees and began gasping for air. *WHAT IS...aaagh* I thought as the pressure was increased. On my hands and knees I began to crawl away out into the busy area. My breathing was heavy and my mind was clouded. My crawling brought me out into the bush where the two tied up guards still remained unconscious. Atleast it seemed normal here. I pushed off the ground and dusted myself off. "What the fuck was that" - I voiced this outloud and to myself then a shuddering silence and there, in front of me appeared a mage. He stood still, he stood focused and completely unaware that his back was vulnerable. But I was weak and beaten. I got up off my knee and made my slow paced march towards him, my eyes focused on the center of his back. He was going down. As I was about to charge he left of a fire ball and it caught me by surpise. Fuck I hated fire. I watched as Ziare created some sprite which absorbed the fire...now was the counter. I ran in and slammed my studded knuckled gauntlets with an electrical charge into the center of his back. He crumpled to the ground, leaving me exposed the oncoming flamethrower. - The flamethrower hit me full force int he chest. I was sent flying backwards as it hit. My clothes were blackened with soot but unharmed, my chest was red and scorched but nothing more and I was winded. My clothes imbued with magical strength which could withstand most normal damage and some magical damage, namely fire proofing. I was winded, I was not breathing well before now I couldnt breath. I arched my back as my eyes bulged out, I was gasping for breath and then all fell silent. I blacked out due to lack of oxygen. I was lying in between the felled mage nad the captured swordsmen. I had no idea what had hit me or who cast it, but damn it hurt.

Ziare almost screamed out loud when she saw that Marshall had been hit by Armenius's flame. What was he doing there? she asked herself. Quickly before thinking she dismissed the water summon and summoned forth Celeste the small girl in the kimono. Celeste ran over staff in hand and lay her hands on his chest. A white light surrounded her hands as her energy and mana flowed into Marshall's body leaviating any pressure and tiredness, also easing the pressure on her body as she began to heal the minor burn wounds to his chest.

As Ziare healed Marshall....foot steps could be heard coming from the distance. Quietly approaching from some unseen way out of the tents, anger in his eyes. It seemed someone had woken him up...maybe it was the scream of the man being crushed to death or the magical energy booming everywhere, he was apparently the boss of this crappy place...
Quickly he drew his two swords, each at his side as a dark smile come onto his scarred face, looking at the whelps which had appeared before him. Unlike the other swordsman, this guy was ripped, probably able to withstand a elephant ram and able to lift a tree. Who knew how powerful he was...but it certainly wasn't good for the group now.... Quickly he rushed at Talbot, hoping to strike her quickly with his blades as he gravity magic pushed down on him...yet he still seemed to move just fine..... (d**n all those muscles >.<)

Talbot dropped the gravity spell, even the lack of it against someone so powerful should have thrown them off- even if only a little. Being she had been using her scythe to channel her casting, Talbot swung her scythe and and cast ribbon cut- not channeling it through her scythe but rather sending seveal hundred marble sized versions of the spell to swarm and overtake- or at least distract the sword wielding lummox long enough for Ziare, Marshall, and the oddly inactive Tenshu to act.

Quickly the mage felt the pain of a thousand cuts along his body, each one bleeding out well. But soon he grit his teeth, anger in his eyes as he continued his rush. If he couldn't beat them and die....well.....he'd be sure to bring at least someone down with him to hell. Quickly he gripped his sword and rushed back, avoiding a few ribbon cuts as he stared at the others, taking up both his broad swords in the air. Quickly he sent them down, moving finely against the ground before he released it......sending a shock wave at them...
Each were huge and fine....and would probably inflict a good deal of damage. The first one went toward Marshall and Celeste. As for the other one, it was full forced at Talbot....While the Renegade leader trailed behind the waves and ran toward Ziare, taking up his blade to come down in a good swipe in her mid-section....

Ziare felt the shock wave hit Celeste and Ziare felt her mana drain as Celeste took the blow. Ziare dismissed Celeste and with some of her last mana she fed Armenius who turned on the swordsman who was coming after his summoner.
With a roar that echoed in the clearing he looked down flames could be seen licking around his tongue before he breathed out shooting the giant ball of flame in the direction of the swordsman hopefully hitting him full on.
Ziare weak after the attack collapsed but did not pass out. However she was physically weak and had little mana left for more fighting.

Quickly the swordsman felt the attack come on full, gritting his teeth as he absorbed the fire at him. Blood spewed from his body as burns moved over his face....but he as still standing. Quickly he drew his two blades and rushed over toward Zaire, trying to ignore her summon as his tried to come down with both blades upon the girl.....

Talbot gasped, only managing to dodged the brunt of the blow by casting a shield- the forced itself had broken through but only enough to knock her down. "Ziare!" Getting up as quickly as she could, No one would hit her friend no one!
"Ziare, Pretty Boy! Move it!" she growled as she put a piece of gray candy into her mouth, taking a mouthful of rose wine and tossing the bottle aside she raised her scythe and as she slowly drank the wine, keeping her mana up as she said, "Fallen Wall!." A cylinder of cutting air formed around the opponent and closed around him- the outer wall of the cylinder held no current while the inner wall spun like a tornado. Talbot winced slightly, this spell took power and focus but she had to get Ziare and Marshall away from the double swordsman if he somehow managed to survive the magic.

Quickly the swordsman jumped out of the inner wall, cutting himself as the winds slashed against his body. He grit in pain, but ultimately took it like a man and jumped through, staring now at the group. Quickly he drew both his blades up once more, coming down in a slash to perform another slash wave thing. Meanwhile, blood dropped from his sword and body as his cuts seem to have been deep....meaning he can't go on like this...

Ziare heard through the haze of her mind Talbot's scream. She looked over and saw almost in slow motion as the man ran right through Armenius's fire coming out burned but not down. Ziare began crawling away which was the most she could do. She told Armenius to attack the swordsman.
This time however instead of flame Armenius used his tail. Spinning his body so the tail became like a whip that was aimed directly at the swordsmans legs and back. If this hit he would hopefully go down.
Ziare continued to crawl away her resolve becoming weaker.

Talbot snarled- her most dangerous spell had only hit him a little- recognizing the movement of the spell from before, Talbot quickly began spinning her scythe- using her last bit of mana without using what was left of her rose wine- she cast Tornado Blade- the spell being strong enough to knock a weakend person at least off balance and slice them up pretty well- this guy didn't have much left as it was. Spinning with one hand, Talbot rolled the bottle to Zaire, the bottle rolling just under Ziare's palm as she crawled.

Ziare felt the bottle roll over just under her hand. She looked down and saw it was rose wine the kind only Talbot made. She looked up and smiled at her sister.
She didn't say anything but her hand closed around the bottle and she lifted it to her mouth uncorking it and drinking the last bit. Energy flowed through her body like a river and soon Ziare was once again standing and able to control her summons again.
Ziare summoned Fianna her snow leopard summon of Earth. The leopard seemed to blend in with the scenery as she ran forth towards the swordsman ready to pounce.

- I felt the mana flow into my veins, I felt the strength return to my limbs and the warmth flow through my body. I stood up and gritted my teeth as the strength had not returned to my legs yet. I stood up and fell to my knees, my head hung over face towards the ground and hair falling down. I stood up again, my right leg first, then my left. My Overcoat slid up with my body in the shuddering movements as my body came back to life. Then without warning the giant arose and flung an invisible force towards me. I leapt up into the air and spun on a vertial axis. I landed on my should which hurt like hell. - Once again I stood up and watched as he took the repeated blows from Talbot and Ziare, saw Ziare fall and heard Talbot scream. I was positioned with his back towards me. I broke through the brush and ran behind the guard post, the Leader was out of the camp and stalking in on the group. I needed to act quickly. His exposed back was the perfect target. I slid my blade out from behind my shirt, the crystal dagger shone pale blue, then with a charged hand it lit up an electric blue. Now was the time. His arms were raised up and prapered to swing, the crack between his shoulder blades was were I needed to aim. To get his attention was not a good thing. - I jumped out from behind the pole, slid, dust flying up in huge trail behind me. Not good, he should of heard that. I focused on my target, blade in hand and flexed my arm ready for the throw of a lifetime. The electricly charged glowing blade shone in my hand as I went to throw. Now! I threw it with all the force I could muster. The blade soared end over end the point veering of course and aiming to hit him in the left shoulder, if it hit it would take that arm out of action if it missed I was in trouble. "DIE YOU OVER GROWN APE!!!" - I followed the blade running as quick as possible. My right arm was cocked and ready to throw a punch, the gauntlet gleamed in the pale light as I crunched through the snowy track which was rarely used. I ran hard, my over coat trailing out behind me like a super hero's cape. As he would turn around (because no one can ignore a knife to the back) he would see one thing and one thing only. I launched my self in the air, fist cocked as I watched the hulking man. I blotted out the sun and came soaring down, my fist rocketed forwards, electrically charged and studs aimed right at his face this would hurt him alot. I gave a smirk as I came down. This should end it.

Quickly the lumbering hulk of a man felt the slash of wind against him, throwing him off balance as blood fell down his coat. Quickly he turned to face the attacker when suddenly he felt the essence of a knife against his back, which hurt a lot. More blood dripped off his rough skin while he turned to face his attacker, only seeing a figure come down to smash him quite painfully. With that, a loud crack could be heard as blood splattered from his mouth....with him losing the grip upon his two swords and him falling down to the ground.....good as dead.....
With that, the Tracers quickly came out meet them about a half and hour later. They quickly thanked them for taking care of this as they took them back home via air ship while they did clean up. Meanwhile, Kenji stood above them, watching the group as they left on a tree branch. They all completely the mission successfully, now all that is left is to clean this up and remove all their traces.......Every one of the men killed today has had their death hidden and unknown.....to be forgotten by the world....
