Rescue

[n00n3y0ukn0\/\/]

Tamra

She pulls her bow and an arrow from her quiver, readying it.

"I wonder what it was though. Seemed to just come out of no where."

She readies her bow, keeping it pointed down for now.

``````````````````````

Undead

After the light hits, ten (10) corpses rise from the ground about fifty (50) feet in front of them. They begin to move slowly towards the group, groaning loudly.

 

[NyghtRayne]

(You got to not do that..biting your lip is not good )

Logan looked over the field and then glanced towards the others as the forms began to rise out of the dirt. "What the hell are those?"

He could see the others preparing for this battle as well and they all looked like they could probably handle themselves. He hoped they all could, cause he had never seen the likes of these things before.

Bunny: (mock Xena Battle Call Inserted Here) !!!

- Bunny went running towards one of the zombies, her daggers flaring as she brutually began to attack....

Hotaru, on the other hand... just reached for a stick she found on the ground (after all, this one isn't really a fighter )

Hotaru ran towards one of the zombies and began to swinging her stick madly at it, however with her small size she could easily dodge its attacks and try to beat it... -

Hotaru: "Come on guys!! There are 10 of them and uh.. 6 of us.. I think... T-T "

Bunny: "In other words, move your bloody asses!!"

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan ran after Bunny swinging his sword at the nearest Zombie. His sword made solid contact with one of the two and caused Logan to pause as the weapon seemed to drag through the thing.

He saw Hotaru pick up a stick and begin to swing on the nearest Zombie. He pulled his dagger from his belt and threw it to the ground close to Hotaru.

He yelled to her."Hotaru, when you get the chance, grab my dagger off the ground and use it."

Just then he was knocked to the ground as his sword came free of the one Zombie and he was hit from behind.

The second Zombie was swinging an old rusty sword at him. He threw up his free hand to try to ward off the second zombie and said the first thing that flashed into his mind:

"A explosão de luz"

There was a bright flash of light formed from his palms outward, into the nearest Zombie, as the light blasted the zombie back, the flash died, the one zombie had disappeared.

He sat there a moment, stunned, not having expected that or the results of the spell. Then, hearing the other zombie still close, he scrambled to his feet and went after it with renewed vigor.

 

[n00n3y0ukn0\/\/]

Tamra

She raises her bow, and fires a shot into the head of one of the zombies, not really slowing it at all.

"Umm...does anyone have any fire...any fire at all?"

She fires another, hoping to at least slow them down.

```````````````````````````````

Zombies

They continue to press on even after Logan's attack, however, moving away from Hotaru, not out of fear, but not concentrating on her at all.

````````````````````````````````

Levaste

Seeing what Logan did, he stood stunned for a second.

"What the hell was that? I can't believe he's actually learning this shit."

He continues to watch the situation, admiring Hotaru's body, and the fluidity of her movments. Chuckling a bit when she picks the stick up, thinking how cute that is.

 

[The GrandMage]

Zarl, of the Macrai-Itoche

Zarl's pack fell to the ground. Steel rang in the air and the sheath joined his pack. His boots hit the ground hard, moving him along as he ran, wings adjusting, letting him lean his weight farther forward, move a little bit faster. He hit the zombies second.

For a second, as he pulled his blade around, cutting diagonally up through a torso, seperating an arm and the head from a body of the restless dead, he had a flashback.

He was around twelve, he had to be, it was when he was with his people, before he had hit puberty, and yet he was trained enough to go into battle. It was in the Palinor Fields, he was rushing headlong into battle, two of the mis-shapen females of his kind near him, one on either side, protecting the future of their species. The enemy, raising up from grass that had been so high in those days of old, now maybe to his waist. The feel of his blade hitting another thing for the first time.

He felt the same now as he did then. The rush, the want for blood. The need to kill. Humans by nature held back, no matter how dark their soul, they always cherished life. He cherished death. His lips opened, and a roar of anger and bloodlust left his throat as he kicked the body away from himself, his sword moving into another of the zombies as he threw himself into battle, giving over to his nature to kill, to fight, to attack. To cut and hack and slice.

 

[vbabe2001]

- Bunny loved this, the battle.. the heat, the blood, the sweat.. this is what she lived for. With no worries, because her little sister would be able to heal her, should we get too hurt...

Hotaru on the other hand, was scared shitless. She hated fighting, she hated seeing anybody in pain.. even if they were the bad guy. She knew this would be her weakness. -

Hotaru: "We almost have them all! Keep going guys!!'

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan swung his sword at the first Zombie he had attacked and lopped off the head.. He moved quickly towards Bunny, seeing the Zombies actually seeming to avoid Hotaru.

"Bunny duck!!!" As she did he swung his sword at the zombie that was slightly behind her, as it swung it's sword at her. Logan was lucky enough to get that one in one swing, though he had no idea how.

Logan made contact with the Zombie, but then was grabbed from behind by another that was closing in. He pushed hard with his feet, pushing the Zombie over backwards, the both of them landing in a heap on the ground.

Logan moved fairly quickly, using the fall backward to release the Zombie's grasp, he hurried to his feet and turned on it. It tried to sweep Logan's feet out from under him, but Logan managed to avoind the sweep and brought his sword down and decapitated that one's head as well.

Looking around he could see the fallen Zombies and it seemed that they had managed to disperse the 10 zombies. He stood a moment trying to catch his breath, he looked to the others.

"Is everyone ok?"

 

[The GrandMage]

Zarl, of the Macrai-Itoche

Zarl took a breath, looking around. The body parts writhed on the ground, mindless, intent. The bodies moved, trying to continue on. The undead were good soldier in the way they never stopped as long as they had enough muscle control to keep going.

But in being mindless, they could not think and react in the ways a real warrior could.

"We should go. Now!"

 

[vbabe2001]

- Hotaru nodded, as well as Bunny. Bunny had sheated her daggers and grabbed the bags which had been put down in the process.. -

Bunny: "As usual, you never cease to amaze me Zarl"

Hotaru: "You were excellent Logan..."

- Hotaru walked to him and intertwined her fingers in his, a soft smile gracing her face as she looked up at him -

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan wiped of the blade of his sword and sheathed it, then picked up the dagger he had tossed to Hotaru and replaced it at his belt.

He smiled as Hotaru slipped her hand in his. "Thanks Hotaru.. I'm just glad we're all safe again for now. Zarl is right we should go."

 

[Khadgar]

Dreant Firebane

Dreant swooped into the field, a scavenger of sorts, ducked low, and sailed in between two of the people there.

grabbing pieces of leather and strips of metal, he angles backk up and settles in the tall grass some distance off, quickly sorting through whats usuable, what he might eb able to sell, what would weigh him down as junk, so that he could take off soon.

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan instinctively pulled Hotaru towards him as the squirrel manlike creature swooped between Bunny and Zarl.

He watched as it grabbed some of the remanants of the battle and soared off with them, landing some distance away from the group.

"What...Who was that?"

 

[The GrandMage]

Zarl, of the Macrai-Itoche

Zarl moved back to his things, wiping the remains of the undead from his blade and sheathing it as he collected his things up. He moved back to Bunny, smiling and holding her against him as he kicked a groping severed hand away from her ankle.

"Amaze you, do I? Well that's good. I may be able to keep your attention off of other males, then?" He smiled, and gave her a soft kiss. "Well, anyway, being cut up won't stop them. Their bodies will keep going. They're reanimated through outside will, so getting rid of the brain doesn't stop them, they're mindless already. And being dead already, it's a pain to kill them. So we should get a move on before a few stray fingers try to drag Hotaru off."

 

[n00n3y0ukn0\/\/]

Tamra

She looks around kicks a few heads.

"Well no points, but at least I got some assists."

She moves with the rest of the group, sighing heavily.

Too bad I don't have someone to walk with.

````````````````````````

Levaste

"Hmmm. Well that was fast. Maybe I should send something a little bit more difficult to deal with."

He looks back towards his study.

"Maybe I should send some of those Redneck Trees from Morden Rü." ( Example Here )

He chuckles madly, deciding to let them walk a bit more before unloading another terror upon them.

 

[vbabe2001]

;;

Red neck tree? <^^>

~~

- Hotaru walked up to Tamra and gave her a gentle smile, her other hand slipping into her's as she walked inbetween her and Logan -

- Bunny, on the other hand, was cuddled against Zarl as they walked... rubbing her body close to his as she kicked dead body parts away with her shoes. She briefly looked at the squirrel man, not seeing him as much of a threat as he ran away... -

Bunny: "i'm sure there will be more tricks up Lavaste's sleeve.. but we are almost now near the castle.. look! Its there in the distance!!"

- Hotaru looked up, she saw it too.. the outline of the castle.. she would be close to her father by tomorrow... -

Hotaru: "At last.. do you think we are ready?"

Bunny: "To go up against Mr. Bad Guy? .. Definately... we might of lost a couple along the way, but the 5 of us will be ready to kick some serious ass"

 

[Khadgar]

Dreant Firebane

Dreant stopped, and waited. against all his instincts, he let the others come to him. he must have been on their path anyways. as they came up to his he stood and watched, his mouth twitching at the corners. ".... hey"

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan held tight to Hotaru's hand as the creature stood in front of them..it seemed nervous...maybe even scared of them. Then it spoke "...Hey"

If this is what has been following us, it might be friendly as it has had plenty of times to attack.

Logan spoke softly in response to it's greeting. "Hello... Um... I'm Logan..You must be who has been following us."

 

[The GrandMage]

Zarl, of the Macrai-Itoche

He smiled, and put an arm around Bunny, his wings spreading and curling, shading her as he smiled at her. He stopped as Logan starting talking to the half-breed, and glanced towards the castle. It would probably be best to focus on their impending doom, but instead he turned his attention to Bunny, and cleared his throat.

"So, umm,...Bunny,...once you and Hotaru rescue your father from the clutches of the crazy dark mage,....what are you going to do them? Because, I mean,...uhhh,...."

 

[vbabe2001]

Bunny: "Well... I was hoping to spend the rest of my life with a certain dark-winged angel..."

- Hotaru bowed politely to Dreant -

Hotaru: "Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir"

- It seemed his appearance did not alarm her at all.... -

 

[Khadgar]

Dreant Firebane

Dreant crouched. he was still unsure about these people. the logan person seemed to be un-hostile, and the lady in distress seemed to be friendly enough.

"hello.... i mean no harm.... i am Dreant."

 

[The GrandMage]

Zarl, of the Macrai-Itoche

He smiled at her. "A dark-winged angel, huh?" He grinned, and gave her a kiss. He looked over towards the castle, and then around at the surrounding country.

"He hasn't made his move yet. He's luring us in. Why? What does he have at his castle? We know he won't try anything too powerful, it would destroy his prize...."

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan looked to Dreant. "Well we figured you've been following us, I'm sure the others won't mind if you join us. We are going to that castle there in the distance to rescue Hotaru and Bunny's father."

He looked to Zarl, "He's got to have something up his sleave, maybe he's stronger there and would rather fight us on his own ground."

He looked down to Hotaru and squeezed her hand gently.. "He'll get his prize over my dead body, unless that is what she wants. I will do my damndest to make sure she gets to make her own choice in the matter."

 

[n00n3y0ukn0\/\/]

Tamra

She smiles a bit as Hotaru take her hand, and smiles to the new comer.

"Hi Dreant...my name's Tamra."

She then looks to the castle.

"So he's more powerful on his home turf?"

```````````````````````````````````

Levaste

"So you guys want some fighting? That's easy enough."

He begins to cast a spell, chanting loud enough for the group to actually hear a small rumble from his voice.

"Traga a meu controle a terra viva. Permita-me manipular a terra viva a minhas especificações. "

 

[NyghtRayne]

Logan stopped and listened a moment. "Does anyone else hear that?"

He looked around and tried to see if someone was close enough to be speaking, but saw no one.

"Sounds like chanting.. but can't tell what the words are."
