we all fall down

Austin looked up. The rubble was getting increasingly cumbersome. The car was about to come down...
With a great gasp, he heaved it down the street. After catching his breath, he jogged to the woman and the Reaper conduit. Strangely, she looked familiar. An albino with a Reaper conduit...He dismissed the suspicion. She was just a friend, more likely a lover, nothing threatening.
The magnetic conduit knelt next to her. She was dying.
With all his remaining strength, Austin diverted dozens of volts into his arms, poured them into the woman's body, and collapsed, hyperventilating.
[color=black]Neo was tempted to turn and look at the man to whom Quint was talking, but knew better than to let him distract him. One false move and he could be pushed off the building.
The Templar took out a hammer and swiped at Neo, but he parried it with his left wrist and gave a turning back kick to his abdomen.[color]
At the same time, something was stirring underground. Umbrella Ganados. Majinis. Now was the opportune night to cut down the Templars' numbers, and so it would be done.
Not only that, but helicopters flew overhead. Whenever a suspicious individual or group was spotted, a cylinder was dropped, pulverizing the ground below before openning and revealing a Hunter alpha.

((Go easy on some of the Resident Evil monsters, man.))

"That ain't gonna work pal." Dax walked to"You demons ain't to strong, I could take ya all on!" He turned around and held his hands in the air.

Kyd took the hammer and judged it's weight, he gave a practice swing and then smiled. "Siiiiirrr, I believe I am not the right one to uuse this, hehehha, hahah, HAhahah!" Kyd's plan had worked, he disarmed Dimitri. Now he poofed away with the hammer, and back to slaughtering the random templars he came across.

"oh my god, thank you. Thank you so much!" He cried a bit of tar aand wiped it off. He saw the man hyperventilating and didn't plan on staying, he had done his part. Lysander ran, he ran back behind the advancing reapers and zombified humans. He ran until he found a an abandoned bus and boarded, he held War and waited for her to wake up, bouncing her every now and then.

"NOW!" 249 froze the air around the rippling sound ball thing Thomas made.

Raiden would have been working on the fires and Templars, but he needed to deal with his immediate safety first. He combined bionic punches and a few kicks on a vaguely humanoid reptile while it swiped at him erratically with its claws, but he wasn't doing much more than making it angry. Eventually, it spooked him with a random snap at his torso AND head with its teeth. As Raiden sprinted backward, the creature leapt at him, pinning him down and swiping a pattern in his shirt. Before it got at his head, Raiden flung his bionic arm into its face and picked himself back up as it staggered backward. Deciding not to risk anymore close combat with the beast, Raiden rushed at maximum speed away, adrenaline taking care of all his fatigue. After a minute or two, he finally found some one who could help: the Darkness.
As Dimitri got up to try and attack Neo, the latter pulled out his Samurai Edge and aimed. Before either could punch or mock, some one- someTHING- wrapped around Quint and pulled him back into the shadows.
As Neo realized Quint was struggling with Sena Crosse, his former servant, he couldn't help but chortle. After all these months of attempts at wiping out all superhumans, he should have expected to be betrayed by one he allows to serve him. At first, it was merely a stifled chuckle, but the mutant purposely made it clearer. He wanted for Dimitri to hear him laughing at his blunder, just to anger him before he suffocated by his own ally's hand.
Spectre peered through his anti-material rifle scope from atop buildings between which he switched. He was searching for high-ranking faction members. He took aim for a shot at a woman with an eyepatch and her own sniper rifle, very familiar...
A Ganado ripped down the front door of the bus Lysander and War were in and rocketed in at them. Several Majinis were breaking down the back door...

Sena stared into dimitris eyes as her hands pinned down his scarred throat. The fear she saw there reflected her eyes. And she hesitated. The world around hers noises slowed to a halt and all she heard was his heartbeat. What is she doing?
[coleor=brown]Dimitri saw his chance and took it. His massive hand grabbed her face and slammed her head into the concrete of the rooftop so hard it made an audible crunching sound. He stood slowly, his pistol out of his pocket and on the floor beside her, and he spit on her limp form. "And i thought i could cure you."[/color]
Lilith, uknowing she was being watched, ducked below the concrete of the building and lit her last cigaretee. She smoked it... and sighed, burning her fingers. She had one shot left. It was almost over.
Wars unseeing eyes snapped open and a string of profanitites came from her mouth. Two pistols unslung from the sides of her body and she shot the mojinis at the back of the bus through the head. "Nobody..... " she gasped. "Fucks... with ....my lysander......"
everything happened at once. She saw herself, the kid who was now kyd wykked, being inside of a shipping crate, finding the poster, thomas, 249, running away from home.... her life flashed before her eyes.... she ran away from home. When the kids learned she could use shadows by will. She ran to empire aong the train tracks. Chris. She had to find chris. He was stationed in empire. Then she got sick. Really sick. She collapsed on the tracks and awoke in a box cart, a man named dimitri nursing her. She loved him. He promised to clean her soul of the darkness she controlled, the darkness she feared. Then e got angry. Frustrated she wasnt clean. He binded her, feared her. He locked her away. In the shipping crate. The blast... hitting her head... losing her name..... Alexis Weiss.
Darkness impaled dimitri. The templars in the streets stopped burning and pillaging to stare. Dimitri gasped, holding his stomach and looked at her.
Another tendril whipped out and impaled his heart. And another. And another.
"Dont.... be..... afraid... of the dark."
Dimitris body was crushed benathe a barrage of tendrils wrapping around and suffocating him.... and his neck was snapped. Like a ragdoll he was dropped. Dead. He was only human.

((FINALLY, THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOT WHAT'S COMING TO HIM))

"Ah crap, Man that hurt dude!" Dax hopped on one foot holding his knee. "Damn... Hey! We ain't done here!" He slowly limped toward the conduit who was quickly escaping. "You can't just leave!" He shouted and waved his bat in the air

"Goood job shaaade!" Kyd said as he grabbed Sena's chin and kissed her on the lips. "You're getting SoooooOOOOooo Strong I LOVE IT!" He did a backflip and landed on Dimitri's hammer, balancing perfectly. "Now please, Sena, LEAVE!" He angrily said waving a knife at her.

Lysander stared into her eyes. They weren't looking at his. They looked at his forehead. "Nobody..." He leaned in and kissed her. "But there is someone who can, surely." he grabbed her butt and kissed her again, tendrils in her mouth and everything

249 readied his next wave of cold. "Don't forget, you're on lookout, if you hear anything important you tell me okay?" he readied another wave, it was only half as strong as the first. "Gah, I'm not used to this full conduit thing, why do we have to charge our powers anyways?

Matteo Alacran(The darkness):
The Darkness emptied another round into a Templar...There were so damn many!
That's when he noticed Raiden.
He nodded in the direction of the artificial conduit. "Good to see another Spartan out of the field." He said.

Jason Cregnix:
Is still flying around blasting open fire hydrants, this is a filler post.

Priest:
"MY MASTER! DIMITRI!"
Priest watched Dimitri Quint be struck down by the hated demon, and demon they had trusted. Sena.
He needed to slay that demon, for the righteous memory of his master. He pulled out his bow, and loaded in six tainted shard arrows, and fired them all at Sena.

Kane "Pig" Pastis:
Pig walked around the burning streets, with a casual look on his face. The moron did not noitce the fires, burning people, and people with paint over their eyes.
Eventually, he came to an alleyway, and heard his brother shouting "And as soon as i get home, I'm putting you in the book o' morons..."
"Hi Rat!" Pig cried joyously, walking into the alleyway.

(Already? ): And did everyone just skip Lego?)

The Ganado charging the couple ripped Lysander off of War, squeezing his head. The Majinis recovered, albeit sprouting Las Plagas out their necks. A flailing worm-like parasite, a hideous maw encompassing an entire upper body...they would not be killed by a single pistol bullet. The front two lunged.

(WHAT
PFT
LYSANDER AND SENA?
THEY DUN EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER
WHAT.
You might want to reread some stuff Theseus, I think your a little lost

Matteo Alacran(The Darkness):
The Templars. They all scurried away. Others checked the wounded. Why?
He looked up to see it. Sena Crosse, with a pistol raised to her head. And the mangled body of Dimitri Quint.
The Darkness was horrified. An emotion he rarely felt. He was down here, powerless to stop Sena from killing herself, and he didn't do anything to stop people from taking lives.
He had lost.

Jason Cregnix:
Jason few through the streets, taking fire from Templar sidearms, but suddenly, it stopped.
They all looked up at a sight. Thier master, being slain by Sena Crosse. Jason watched and recorded the event. Up to the point where Sena raised a gun to her head.
"NO!" Jason shouted, he couldn't let this happen. not to anyone, especially not the one that Thomas had proposed to. It would break his team mates heart.
He pushed seventy-five percent of the suit's power into the thrusters and gunned them. He shot up like a bullet. He stopped as he floated level with Sena, and fired a precision repulsor shot from his glove, aimed specifically to knock the gun from her hands.

Priest-
Priest cursed under his breath. His arrows would not pierce the armor of the flying one. So, he grabbed a wounded Templar and slung him over his shoulder and scurried back to the sewers, along with most of the others.

Kane "Pig" Pastis:
((Because Ness hasn't posted yet, this is filler.))

Dax saw he was surrounded. "H-hey fellas, I don't want no trouble, let's just wait and... OH LOOK IS THIS MY GUN?" He said as he pulled his Scattergun out. "Now, let's play catch then bullets." He loaded six shots in. He turned towards the fat one. "Today ain't ya day, pancakes."

Kyd was DELIGHTED to see the arrows lodge themselves in Sena. When Sena was crippled, Shade would come. He saw her raise the gun and h about cried wiith joy letting out high pitched giggles. "OH WHAT A SHOW!" He cried out as a stron wind followed by engines and a silenced pistol sounding shot was fired. Kyd opened his eyes expecting too see Sena dead but Sadly no. The shot was from Jason, and he hit the gun. "AW BOTHER AND BEFUDDLE! You haaad t ruin the fun I OUHTTA!" He lept onto the iron man and jabbed a knife at his armor, leaving scratches all over. 'I SABJKD ADJKLS DJKJKBHASK DJAK" He mumbled and grunted.

Lysander jumped up from War and sent a shockwave through the bus to stumble the...thingies. He had no clue what they were, but they sure as hell didn't want him and War hooking up, and that was a nono. "Hey, nice shot" He told war even though one of the shots wasn't even between the eyes, he could tell she was off her game. He pulled out his AK and opened fire and hoped the things would die. If they even could be killed.

"Dude? You look flustered, whatcha thinking about" He saw him get angry and then glad and angry again. Something was up but his main concern now was finding someone to drain. He saw a face he had seen on a poster while he was snooping round the Templar base once. It was something darkness or something. He was human, and full of heat, which 249 could easil turn to cool heat and drain. He dropped down an laid an Icy hand on the shoulder of the man. He was about to drain him when he saw Sena. Oh god, what had she gotten herself into... "SENA!" He yelled.

Max ran, followed by the most fearsome Reapers he knew. Radioing in to Lysander, he replied to his call. "Dude, we're here. Sorry it took so long, Timothy couldn't find his gun." Maximus glared at one of the Reapers following him. He waited for a reply through the radio, yet none came. Tearing into the nearest Doom with a barrage of bullets. These Reapers could make the difference in this battle, Maximus knew.

For Lucas, this battle sucked. He had a sore throat and runny nose, and had this been told to wait at the Spartan base. "Unfit for battle," Lucas mumbled as he flew towards the gunfire, "yeah...sure thing." He rocketed over the battlefield, a small tornado throwing Templars , but not killing them, to make a small landing space. "Looks like I'm late to the party?"

((Apologizing for all mistakes made above. I didn't follow this thread close enough.))

Thomas dropped a Templar, and turned to Sena, seeing her pull a gun towards her head. "No," he muttered. he was too far away to be of any use here. even his powers wouldn't be fast enough, and they were literally at the speed of sound. He tried any way. he ran, snapping his fingers, then thrusting them to the ground, blasting into the air, and then blasting towards her. As he did, he sent a message in the calmest voice he could muster, trying to keep the pain, the heartbreak, the fear out from his voice. "Sena, please, don't. we can fix this..." he apparently got there quicker than he thought, because he got to her before his message did. Thomas woud later suspect he broke the sound barrier, but as of this moment, he neither knew or cared. all he cared about was this woman in his arms now. His hand vibrated with sonic energy as he tried to use it to heal her, an ability that he didn't do that often, but he tried to remove the arrows, and stop her from bleeding too much. Then, he started to put sonic waves into her body, drawing the tainted shards out of her... and into his own body. He tried his best, and got approximately 4/5 of the shards out of her body, and into his own. There was no way he would allow her to die. Thomas convulsed, then. "Sena... Don't stop..." he coughed. "Believing." he fell from her. a few wounds were still bleeding, but they were more shallow than before, and she would survive. in the meantime, Thomas was messed up. Tainted shards were worknig into his system. he took so many, in the end he would lose the ability of true flight, if he survived at all. He took Sena's hand in his, and gripped it. "There is always hope, my love...." he started to slip into unconsciousness. "always," he breathed, and everything went black.

((gods, I love my muse.))

(Bullets? Cmon man at least someone was shooting at them, thats a bit of a powerplay. :/

(I'm not sure what you're saying.)

(You cant just shoot non npcs like that, you have to make the motions. Whether or not the shots actually land is based on us reallh. I mean, you can shoot AT us, but you cant decide if it hits or not. You have to give us time to react. Otherwise, its a powerplay)
