New Arrivals [CLOSED (Serras can join if he wants]

[Serras-Kai]

As Alpha neared the ones on the bridge, he noted them. Two were marked for justice, the last, the female, had nothing. One in front of the other and one behind the second, they lined up against him, but his will was not so easily denied.

His blade slid into place, and the dark azure eyes of the Inevitable met with the eyes of the twin-bladed man, whose weapons belched a chaotic sort of light across the small area.

Halting just outside of striking distance, Alpha Manganell stood stark still, but his eyes faded to a deadly black.

"Emporer Gavin. So good to see you." The Inevitable didn't bother to explain himself. Why should he? It was Gavin at fault here, not him. "And Joseph Kaiser. The two of you have been tried by a special tribunal and found to be a danger to this world. It is my duty to see that you leave it."

He raised his buster, training it on Gavin.

"Or that you die in it."

[[[Let us begin, yes?]]]

Joseph's face betrayed shock. This thing knew his name... And now he was marked for "Justice." Everyone thought he had done something bad today.

Ah well. People almost had reasons to think so.

Even as gizmo guy's buster leveled at them, Joseph had pulled his hood over his head, and gone down on all fours. When the thing finished its monologue, Joseph leapt, landing just behind it. Even as it turned, trying to keep both targets in view, he lifted himself up on his hands, and used both feet to batter the clockwork head. With a clang, both hits impacted, and he rolled backwards from the recoil, but ended up on his feet all the same.

Being on your feet was bad for a hunter.

Joseph resumed crouching on all fours, waiting for someone else to make a move.

Note: Zeke`s post is nill until he edits out the auto-hit and auto-control.

That got Gavins attention entirely. Only an invention of Armani`s would know his name and lineage, and then attack him.

Gavin: "Try me..."



He crouched slightly. He knew he had to watch the crossbow.

Gavin: "Show me those little weapons of yours have any power in them whatsoever."

He jumped forward and swung a left-to-right swing with his left sword, enhanced with fire, preparing his right for a block.

...have been tried by a special tribunal and found to be a danger to this world. It is my duty to see that you leave it."

If these humans were considered a danger to this new world, then was she also considered a danger? It was made obvious by the metal human's speech that they were similar to her, not from this world, but Ahel wondered how they had gotten here. After all, humans to her knowledge could not and would not harness the power of emotion, so how did they come to this world she wondered. The most pressing question to her however was whether or not she was considered a threat to this world, and if this tribunal the metal human had spoken of, had also declared judgement on her. She had done no harm to the world as far as she could tell, but maybe her very presence hurt the world that she had escaped to...

~Stomach growls~ "I'm in no condition to fight...", Ahel hissed in a low voice, "... or to make a dash for it. I can't make a rash decision and waste my energy..". She had to hope that she wasn't considered a marked target, or else... well... she very well might lose her life Ahel realized. At least the metal human was fixated on the other humans and hadn't seem to notice her, but that might change if she started to run.

She wondered what the other humans response was going to be, whether or not they would choose to run, or if they would stand their ground against this metal human. Fixated on how this would turn out Ahel saw that one of the humans had pulled his hood down, and... crouched on all fours? He sprang behind, and tried to batter the metal human with his feet, returned to crouching on all fours...? She had never seen a human that was so agile and crouched on all fours... Maybe it was not human, Ahel thought, maybe this is a "zombie"?

It was soon after the... "zombie" she supposed, attempted to attack when the blue robed human with the... hated fire swords, swung at the metal man. Her blood once again ran cold when she turned her eyes to that flame, her orb pulsating in response to her emotion. The fight that was about to occur she felt... no she knew, was going to be intense. Maybe the intensity of the fight would swallow her as well... and she would fight back. For now she sat and watched... waiting to see what was going to come... hoping that it would not swallow her...

[[Okay Zeke, you auto hit me and controlled my character without permission, allow me to repay you in kind.]]

As the hunter made it's initial leap to get behind Alpha, he turned with it, but not completely, stopping at halfway and crouching, stepping backwards in order to keep both enemies in view. He also put his back to the wall- the opponent could leap, and thus could get around him very easily.

However, when the "Hunter" lunged to attack him, Alpha's training kicked in (see ability: quick draw) and his crossbow came to bear. He fired twice from his buster before the enemy even reached him, and crouched away in case the momentum he built from leaping still drove him into Alpha. Either way, his attack found nothing but magic bolts and air.

The flaming sword was met with Alpha's own weapon, followed by a quick fire of a harmless black burst of energy fired just before Gavin's momentum actually ran out, robbing him of his chance to dodge it completely.
(see attack: enervation ray)

This fight didn't seem like it would be too hard at all.

[Zeke Sturm]

[[[Well, crap. Sorry, but I'm not good at rping like this. Apoligies, Serras. I consider us still a little less than even, so you can do that again. I'll even allow the second, over-stat-ed crossbowshot.]]]

'Shit!'

Joseph hit the ground, and rolled, a bolt lodged in his left arm and leg. Ripping them out, he turned to face his opponent again, who now had the emperor on the ropes. Smirking, he crouched to jump, but toppled over. Blood soaked his leg and hoodie sleeve. He was bleeding heavily from both sides of each limb.

"Well this kinda sucks..."

Staggering to his feet, he prepared to jump again, but instead decided on a different approach. He jumped sideways, flying off the bridge. Anyone looking or listening, however, would not see ripples or hear a splash.

...preparing his right for a block.

The momentum in his right arm continued up to his face. blocking the attack. But he quickly realized as the ray went through the blade that it wasnt blokable. He took it full in the face, and flew backwards a bit. He felt the loss of his power. Gavin was defenseless. Luckily, he was a few feet away from the robot.

She was staring intently at the battle that was unfolding near her. The "zombie"... or whatever it was, its legs were pierced by shafts or bolts. To her it looked like both his arm and leg had been pierced. "How could he fight with that injury?", Ahel thought. There was no way in her mind that this "zombie" could fight let alone move. If she knew anything about injuries, her mind was telling her that this "zombie" wasn't in mortal danger, yet... the blood... If this "zombie" were to pull out those bolts then... Ahel felt that it would surely bleed to death.

Watching the "zombie", she noticed him preparing to jump, as if he could move, let alone jump with those injuries. However it managed to ump over the side of the bridge, surprising Ahel with his stamina, and possibly pain resistance. She knew that she certainly would not be able to move with those injuries. Perhaps "zombies" were much stronger then humans, even though she thought that they certainly looked like them...

She turned her eye to the other human in the blue robes. She didn't know what had happened but it seemed to her that he had been pushed, as he flew backwards a few feet. It didn't look like the metal human had pushed him, but she did see a little bit of black... energy? She wondered exactly what that black energy was... it would be best not to know...

It seemed to her that the metal human was taking on the combatants rather easily, with one down.. or soaking wet.

[Serras-Kai]

Stomping backward away from the two combatants, Alpha kept the two in view while training his crossbow on Gavin, who was now weakened severely. With a sudden and ferocious stare, his eyes faded to an emerald green as he stated to the Hunter simply "Don't move." His Geas would not force the enemy to stay still, but cause a nagging sense that he should, which may or may not be all he needed to keep him in place.

He considered simply warping to Gavin, but he may need the ability to do so later, in case he needed a quick escape. Instead he opted to walk forward, slowly, approaching Gavin with his sword held high, ready to block if needed.

Joseph clung to the stones with his claws, really wishing he hadn't come up with this stupid plan.

He tried to pull at the one he was hanging by, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, he put his feet to the bottom of the bridge, and pulled again. A rock fell, and as he scrabbled for another handhold, the rock hit the water with an enormous plunk. He looked nervously down, hanging by his good hand. This would take a while, but as long as he didn't fall, this was gonna be a helluva show.

Gavin had to back up onto the bridge, on defensive. He felt a slight tremor, and looked down at the lake. But he noticed the zombie, moving along the lower arch. and then it hit him what he was doing. Gavin held his blades up, ready to defend, because he was going to help joseph with his plan.

[Aphelion]

That crossbow of the metal human was fixed on the blue robed human... as if he needed to use it though, as the blue robed human seemed somewhat weaker to her. If she was the metal human, she would have simply rushed the blue robed human... but maybe this metal human knew something that she didn't about the blue robed human. After all the metal human knew the blue robed human's name... What was it? It began with a G... oh.. Gavin... that was the blue robed human's name. Even if this "Gavin" had a few tricks up his sleeve, to her it seemed that the battle was already decided. His ally had jumped off the bridge to escape from the metal human... he was all alone and weakened, while the metal human did not have a scratch on him it seemed to her. It was going to be over soon Ahel thought, the metal human was going to win, and he would bring whatever sort of "justice" he believed in to this "Gavin". She felt a bit of sorrow and sympathy for "Gavin", she herself had been cornered, knowing that she would be slaughtered, that she only had a small time to live before it was all going to end... That was how she had ended up in another world, this one.

Even though she felt a slight pang of sympathy for him, Ahel wasn't going to enter into this fight... After all it was a fight between humans, she had no right or will to intervene in it... Besides she would only lose her life, that she had just regained...

She prayed silently that the end would come soon... and without much pain

[Serras-Kai]

Moving breezily along the bridge, Alpha paid little mind to Joseph- he had served his purpose and was all but disposed of. Could he really be so dangerous?

Making a mental note to investigate further, Alpha kept his eyes solely on the target, never allowing him to exit his sight. Sure, he couldn't exactly use his beam on him again, and the Geas was still recharging, leaving this combat to brute strength alone. And what better arena could they have? Any would suffice.

When he was within a few feet of Gavin, Alpha thought it best to maintain a stable footing. Off the bridge would be a better place to fight, but in front of him was his target and behind him was a long distance, which they would assuredly not follow him down. Looks like he would have to make due.

With a huff of breath that he didn't even need to inhale, Alpha rushed forward, his sword slashing left-to-right in an upward angle, bending his arm in ways that would prove too awkward for the common man. Not that it mattered to him, his arm could bend in many ways that a normal man's could not.

[[[Maelys gave me permission to do the bit at the end, so... I'm not autoing w/out permission]]]

There were quite a few holes in the underside at this point, and each was growing larger, or combining with another. His claws were bloody, but it was his own blood. His hood had fallen off his head, and his shoes were wearing down. This was gradually becoming both fruitful and very taxing.

He retreated to the edge of the bridge, and rested holding onto the side, where he had taken one or two bricks out to use as handholds. God, this was painful. He was about to go back under, when something flashed above his head. He instinctively reached up, and found his hand wrapping around the hilt of a very strange sword. Looking up, he saw Gavin pointing down, before he ducked back past the edge, and presumably resumed fighting. It didn't take long to guess why this flaming sword was now in his hands. He smirked, and went back to work, with a new tool of destruction in his hands.

[Maelys Knight]

//Hay serras, next post Kiri`s sword may be aimed at Alpha`s head, with Nouri and Zeke watching. //

Gavin instinctively held the swords in a crossposition. The attack had great momentum, and Gavin was pushed sideways, to the right.. He made his move. With that momentum, he hit the edge of the bridge, just above joseph. With the upward momentum, his swords came down and he dropped one towards Joseph. Joe looked up, and caught the still on fire sword burning bright white (for one more post.) by the handle. With that, Gavin turned and ran for the south end of the bridge, towards the birdgirl. There was a disturbance in the air, and it seems as if the dimension itself was being hacked away, right next to Ahel.
