[DW] Assault On Mutiny

[[NPC] Pand. Assault Squad]

"Ahh, the sweet smell of fighting." Agnus called out to the rest of his group, "Today is the day we bring Mutiny down to nothing, and retake this bastard ground in the name of Pandemonium." His deep voice resonated off of his rag tag group of Fenrir's disciples as they all tread in unison forming a small cluster of men walking down the abandoned street. Agnus was about twenty five and thickly built, his only weapon of choice was a long halberd on his back and a strung together bundle of de-active explosives "Between you fifteen, myself and my two lovely ladies what could possibly stand in our way?" He laughs to himself and even though the rest of the group did not notice, his two leads were following off the beaten trail, putting an arrow into anything that made a breath in their direction.

"Alright friends, back out and get into hiding, we are going to set up our trap here." Agnus motions the party away into the death filled crevices of the bridge to watch as he pulled out his pinned together cluster of grenade sized, locally made explosives. "I'm going to track them out here, make some grand old speech of how all the vermin needs to be extinguished from this planet, offer a fair fight, they are going to reject because that's how vermin are, then we slay them and move on." Agnus speaks loudly and continues rambling "Oh and Lauren and Tyno, please shoot the first line of people who flood out to stop us, make them regret being hasty." Lauren and Tyno were tactfully looking for high grounds, only before setting up a line of small explosives from the most likely point of exit. (Support) Once everyone was set he primed three out of his six grenades and dropped them into nearby cars. "Let the games begin." he chuckles before ducking under cover as the explosion sounds off.

[ExplodingIce]

Chaol heard the explosions and smiled. "Sounds like someone wants to make an entrance. Who wants to place bets? Its not us and its not him, so that leaves Pandemonium, Meticulous, Draconian, and Maelstrom. Doubt its Meticulous. Not there style." He chuckled and got up from his chair. He wandered over to one of the computers and looked around. "Hey, anyone good with one of these? Do we have cameras on the bridge?" He asked and turned to his Captain and Alvarence. "Whats our fighting potential look like? Other than the three of us in this room? I dont suppose you brought back up of any kind?"He asked Alvarence.

[[NPC] Sevro]

A meek man quickly put images from above on a nearby projector, several barriers now lay in rubble as shrapnel flew through the air. A hand with nobody landed in front of the camera screen blocking a majority of the view, it was still, swollen, covered in blood. An Arm banded engraved with the words Valkyrie were around it. The Gate Keeper had died. More explosions followed. The sounds of Gun shots echoed through the speakers, bullets sparked through on another camera that had now been recording the situation.

"It's Pandemonium... they must have figured out we were hosting guest today and decided they could take out multiple targets... send the Helldiver up... we will need him here on the main floor... call the Oathkeeper... have him prepare for war." Sevro began to make a made dash for an elevator nearby, she grabbed one of the coms and strapped it to her forehead with black tape. "I want thirty percent of our best fighters up assisting Earth Level... I want all of the Hell level fighters to come and protect purgatory... Heaven stand by for my orders do not engage unless your lives are in immediate danger." Rage could be seen in her eyes as scaly and feathery skin became apparent on her. She then looked to her first mate, and glared at him "Are you coming or not" She was never usually this impatient with him or anyone else... but it was clear it was no longer her emotions but a combined rage of all the minds that existed within her own. No one had ever attempted a full fledged attack like this before.

The upper floors were in chaos as men and women scrambled to gather their belongings. Some were heading down to safer levels, others were heading up to fight the battles that others were to afraid too. Another explosion shook the dam... if they lost it would not only mean losing their hold over Lumos but it would mean recreating the dark times of a year ago which couldn't be allowed to happen.

[Stimmothy]

Alvarance was frustrated at the lack of care in Sevro's words. Everyone was on edge which is why half of these meetings were called. Even if he did make a decision he had to do so with his house's best interests at heart and when a lot of them were deeply entrenched with Meticulous and Draconian, he couldn't risk their lives on a grand scale as fast. He opened his mouth to point this out when the explosion rocked them.

Alvarance watched as the players moved to their stations quickly and efficiently. This was great. The hierarchy was clear and everyone worked together. There was no questions about who was giving orders, a lot different than who he normally worked with. Perhaps it would be worth it despite that. Even the chaos on other floors seemed to be mostly organized.

Alvarance followed Sevro. "Unless they recently acquired higher powered explosives, which judging by your grid I doubt but I could be wrong, this place could take most of what they could punch with very little structural damage. Luring them toward the First Mate's... home could be a viable strategy, bottle necking them into place like they're trying to do to you. If I was them and I wanted this place down, I'd flat do it especially the way they've been targeting you." He analyzed the cameras. "I know not the skills your two men, but I could create a surprise opening for you if you'd like. Create a diversion." He thought a bit longer in regards to Chaol's question. "There is someone nearby, however I could bring more. Is there a part of the dam you don't care about?"

[[NPC] Pand. Assault Squad]

Arrows whizzed through the air impaling the first few to pour out, leaving a tombstone reminding the hasty their fate above the surface. "Oh please, keep coming, I am shaking in my boots." Agnus calls out merrily taunting the fallen as he ducks in cover. Another explosion sounds out and it only seems to increase the gangs burning fury in each of their hearts the ground troop seemed antsy to get in the action.
"Let's push forward." Agnus's focus turns from light-hearted to eagle sharp as a quick hand motion and a well shot arrow sets off the initial chain of explosions which mutilated anyone in the blast radius. The sound alone was enough to force most to drive back until himself and his crew of fifteen immediately began their advance threatening to push forward. The two hidden archers moved it's focus towards defense, making sure any other exits would not cause for an early flank or demise.

[ExplodingIce]

Chaol adopted a wounded expression and covered his chest with one hand. "As long as youve know me captain. And you ask if ill follow you into battle against some wolves." He walked across the room towards Sevro and changed as he did. His jaw popped and enlongated, all his teeth coming to razor sharp points. "Direct me so that I may bring our foes great torment." Chaol laughed and felt his back bend and stretch, his skin becoming dark and rough. His fingers were now claws and he had reached the full extent of his transformation. "Im so glad we invited guests over. Im starving."

[[NPC] Sevro]

Sevro angrily shook her head, “every part of the dam is important… if anything breaks someone somewhere goes without power… it's the single most greatest technical advantage here in Lumos until those bastards in Meticulous come up with something different…” She slammed a button on the lift as they began to go up to the top floor, right before the entrance to the outside. “Kill the power for everyone and divert it to our weapons systems and prepare for retaliation… but don’t retaliate until we are sure none of our guys will get hurt in the crossfire. She then nodded to her first mate, and to the havoc diplomat and began to rush outside of the front door, but not before letting out a terrifying roar that would be sure to instill terror and fear to men not weak enough to challenge what was coming for them.


She based her shoulder into the door as it flung open, and her sized instantly quadrupled. She began to smack away some of the intruders, their attempts at doing her harm were less effective due to her increase in size. She kicked and punched those who were not fast enough into oblivion, blood and guts smeared the bridge and her feet, her nimble quick body moving abnormally fast. She laughed with a killing intent in her eye as she pulled a few arrows out of her legs, not caring much for the pain, she moved elegantly as to protect her eyes from taking any damage, those were what came most important to her in situations like this. One hand to protect her sight, the other to swat away men not worthy of her time.

[Stimmothy]

Alvarance shrugged as he knew certain things like overhangs and whatnot would be missed and that everyone ignored half of his comments about drawing the wolves down through the tunnels. He waited for Servo to clear the area before rushing forward. He needed to let loose a signal of some kind. What could he do that was big enough to make a decent signal for Morgan and perhaps other Havoc members to see?

Al looked around to see various forms of rubble from both the assault force and Sevro's counter attack. He ducked low, taking a deep breath and increasing his focus. He grabbed a large piece and rushed through, taking cover where he could. His first focus was on calling reinforcements. He reached the edge of the dam, tossing the rock slightly up before focusing the warmth into his fist and sending the rock into the water causing a large splash. Hopefully Morgan and a few others saw that. He knew some of the patrols ran this way, hopefully one was nearby.

After he watched the splash raise over the dam, he focused on covering Sevro's blind spots. Al rushes, attempting to use his ability as little as possible, using his quick strikes to take down a lot of the foot soldiers that approached him. This was going to be difficult if no one saw his impromptu signal. Well, he couldn't worry too much about that. He focused on the battle at hand, feeling the warmth spread within him."

[Silent Justice]

Morgan had seen the explosion, but had held position on over watch of the bridge. He hadnt been exactly assigned to assist Alvarence, but he doubted it was coincidence that hed been sent on patrol near the bridge soon after he left. Her eyes zoomed in on the figures swarming over the bridge, but even with advanced eyesight it was hard to tell exactly who they were. 

Now a sudden upshoot of water? Morgan figured she aught to move in for a better look because new people on the dam were coming OUT of it, so that had to be the mutiny members. She unfolded her bow to max range and set up at the far end of the bridge. There was Al, fighting along side the captain of mutiny. I mean, who else turns in to a huge dinosaur? Morgan fired and caught one of the attackers headed for Al,settling in for the fight.

[[NPC] Pand. Assault Squad]

“Alright boys, slight change of plan. You get the the leader chicky, me and the girls will take care of the mission. For Pandemonium!” Agnus calls loudly to his gang while pointing towards Sevro. A slight ripple of uncertainty passed over the crowd as Sevro begins casually decimating the ground team, however even though Sevro seemed entirely unfazed by the increase in numbers charging her Pandemonium were not known for backing down from a fight not even in the signs of certain death.


Agnus mutters under his breath something foul as more of his troops are decimated by the onslaught. He motions Lauren and Tyno forward towards one of the entrances to the Dam, a flurry of arrows clearing the way for them “While they are distracted we are heading downstairs, explosives do nothing but cause a ruckus up here.” Lauren’s bat-like ears move and wiggle to protect them from being ambushed while the chaos masks their dive deeper into the dam network.

[AsherTheLion]

The Pack Leader and The Executioner of Pandemonium were drunk and high off their asses yet again. They had been meeting up regularly as of late to 'get to know one another better'. Seeing as how they were in the same house, they might as well learn about one another to better work their house forward. Well, they were pretty much getting about as personal as a pair of people can get right now, fucking in Sebastian's favorite room. Which is what made what happened next so . . . Awkward.

What he could only assume was another Pack Leader had come in and dragged him out of bed. Apparently, he had to go visit the Primus. And so did Dallas. What a coincidence. They were together. Now they were forcing themselves to get dressed, concealing boners, making themselves look presentable, and rushing off to meet the boss man.

Which again, is what led to the two of them now standing on a hill overlooking the dam. Primus had told them to go observe the assault force and, if they needed to, reinforce it. But two people? Why not send them here with more men? He shrugged a little bit, overlooking what appeared to be happening below.

"Well, Dallas. What do you think? Should we help them?"

[Dallas Au Sheppard]

Nothing will rustle one's tail feathers more than being roused from a good sleep--one of those hard, heavy periods of sleep that one takes after a good fuck.  The door had flown open and the one who barged into it had been met with the sight of Dallas' long, hard... barrel on his .45 long colt.  Once the messenger (or whoever the fuck it was) dropped the name "Primus" the cowboy had pulled his senses together and cooperated.  Some time later he found himself bored out of his mind as he was forced to watch explosions and havoc break out below.


None of this was getting him any closer to finding the killer of his family.


Sebastion's voice wafted across and snared his attention, however briefly.  After a moment's consideration, the cowboy's mouth split open into that familiar, crooked smile.


'I reckon it's 'bout time to say howdy.  Can't let them have all the fun."


Dallas probably made for a familiar sight to Sebastion as he dropped to all fours, but after a bit of bone popping and skin stretching he stood tall and proud in his animal form.  A diamond pony.  The muscles in his haunches rippled and waved, catching handfuls of sunlight and tossing them back into the sky with equaled brightness and brilliance.  The diamond pony snorted and tossed its head with a slight air of impatience about it; hell, he even bent his front legs to give Sebastion an easier time when he went to mount.

[ExplodingIce]

Chaol reveled in the blood shed,tearing down lesser members of the pack left and right. He never stopped laughing,even when they hit him,something they clearly found unnerving and made it harder for them to coordinate. He was about to dive back in when he saw a few people trying to slip unnoticed into the dam. "Not today. Alvarence! We got rats in the cellar. Capn,im sure you can handle these ones out here." He called and ran for the door without waiting. They had a headstart on him sure,but he knew the dam better than they did and once they entered Heaven,they were in his maze.

[[NPC] Sevro]

What once appeared to be delicate feminine fingers now ravished the bridge in a battlefield of crippled and twisted bodies. The men and women that charged at Sevro now has something to fear, docile yet menacing eyes became feral as the leader of Mutiny began to transform. Skin became scaly to better protect her from the onslaught of attacks coming her way. Her teeth grew sharper as she performed a fifty percent transformation.

She began to focus on individuals who may have appeared to give her people trouble, people she could simply pick up and slam back towards the ground. Those of them who were more crafty when she attempted to pick them up were dropped then stomped on, and those too quick to be caught would have their comrades thrown at them with the precision of four minds all working together to calculate the perfect pitch.

Eventually her time ran out and she reverted back to her initial size, but not before transforming into her 75% Velociraptor form where she gave an overwhelming mass, for an even more naturally overwhelming speed. Razor sharp teeth bit into the torsos and arms of her opponents, screams of pain as they were caught off guard by quick shifts of specific body parts. Human legs would slide under a man’s legs and the jaw of a velociraptor would castrate him. Not long after the arms of the captain would gently caress a neck and snap it in two.

[Stimmothy]

Alvarance couldn’t help but hold himself back, he wasn’t a murderer despite the nature of his abilities. That being said, he didn’t hesitate and every body that came at him merely became another added to the ground. His motions were quick and effective and even the people at range had difficulty targeting him which tends to happen when he sends their comrades flying towards them. The cold stoic expression seemed to make him appear ruthless in the chaos around him.

Alvarance heard Chaol call out to him and almost followed until he notices Sevro changed size. Though he didn’t doubt the Captain’s ability to protect herself, what he did desire to do was to but her time if needed. Besides, if he remembered correctly, there was at least one other person down there who could assist Chaol and not many had made it downstairs yet. He was also instructed not to damage the dam. No if Chaol needed backup Sevro would be the better choice. “Don’t hesitate.” His Grandmaster’s words echoed through his ears. If he was going to stay up here he wouldn’t have much of a choice.

“Three wolves have headed down into the dam.” Alvarance called out, his voice ringing with cold emptiness, “You would do better in there than I. I have this handled.” He gave a loud whistle towards Morgan to make sure she knew to focus on him for backup. He took one last quick and deep breath befor he focused on the squadron around him. He pushed a bit more of that warmth through his hands as he struck all those coming near him. The sounds of bones snapping or the sight of the sprays of blood bothered him but he pushed that down into his flame, tearing through the still standing members of Pandemonium.

A flash caught Alvarance’s eye as he looked over shifting his eyes to see some jeweled beast and a young man standing next to it. Reinforcements? For whom? He didn’t recognize them that was for sure. Well this was going to be interesting. Alvarance clenched his fists tightly before relaxing them. Well, this was taking a turn he wasn’t happy to see.

[Silent Justice]

Morgan heard the whistle and moved closer, whistling back with the signal for confirmation. She found a pylon about 100 meters from Alvarance and moved her quiver from her back to the ground in front so he could pull arrows faster. Morgan's eyes zoomed in and he started counting the opposing forces but gave up after a while. A lot. The number was a lot. "Lets have a party then boys." She whispered and pulled a blast arrow from the quiver and fired it over a massing crowd into another pillar where it exploded and brought the stone crashing down on their heads. Morgan grimaced and folded her bow down a size. That last shot had been a little wild at this range, and Moran didnt settle for good shots. Only perfect shots. He settled in and felt the edges of his vision blur as he blended into his surroundings, waiting for the next opportunity to maximize his effectiveness. Alvarance could be the meat grinder, Morgan was the scalpel that moved in to make the mess cleaner.

[[NPC] Pand. Assault Squad]

The battle on Earth was a slaughter, the only means of combating the menace was throwing their soon to be lifeless bodies against the wave. They were not winning by any means, but every life lost to Mutiny was a small battle in the overall scheme of battle. 

(Lauren Tyno and Agnus move to Heaven.)

[AsherTheLion]

Atticus was dying to be let out. Look at all that bloodshed going on down there! He was pretty sure that he saw an explosion. He stood there behind the other two men practically begging Sebastian to let him out. Just let him take over. It would be so much fun! The headache the raven had developed all of a sudden was starting to get annoying. Why did Atticus have to be so loud? The man had just been about to respond to his partner, too. He turned to look at him and all he saw was this huge ass diamond fucking pony next to him. Now, he had two options here. He could ignore it and just transform himself, charge in there and wreck some shit. Or he could sit on the pony's back. He was not looking forward to that given that it was MADE OF DIAMONDS and would be uncomfortable to sit on. But know what? Fuck it, why not. 

"I swear to God, Dallas. If you cut up my ass with all your diamonds, YOU are the one that's going to bottom for the next month." He wasn't agitated at all, no. Of course not. They were just about to charge in what amount to a death trap. Wished he could have said no to the Primus' face, but then he wouldn't have a face himself. So here they go. Into what he could only describe as a blood bath.

"I hope you're ready for this." Mused the figment from behind the raven. He had situated himself onto the diamond pony as well, looking down into the depths before. "Because if you falter even once, I'm coming out to play. Friend or foe, I don't really care. They're all going to die." And me along with them. Sebastian found himself adding at the end.

[Dallas Au Sheppard]

There are moments in a person's life where one is inclined to say, "aw, shit."  There are also moments where a person is inclined to say, "AW, SHIT!"  The ensuing moments were definitely, most definitely of the latter rather than the former.  Screams, explosions and the general cacophony that was battle swelled and bloated to its usual form as the two Houses shook off the initial shock and rush of battle and now entered a practiced, slow grind.  The ranks had broken and the macrocosm that was this conflict had begun to devolve into small vignettes of pain, pleasure, and death.  In short... it was a clusterfuck.

The diamond pony made short work of the distance that lay before them and in under a minute his hard, gemmed hooves were making contact with solid concrete.  Bodies, presumably from both Houses, were scattered about like discarded toys--bloody, lifeless and disfigured toys.  With a snort and a toss of his head, the pony started to make its way down the bridge.

Where was he headed?


Towards the sound of broken bones and blood splatter, of course.  

Mood Music:

[[NPC] Sevro]

Sharp eyes quickly turned surveying the area and smacking someone with her tail, sending them flying over the bridge to their deaths. She eyed a group making their way into the entrance of the dam and made pursuit, She transformed into her humans form and ordered four of them to come with her. One of the pandemonium warriors attempted to stop her, but the instead landed her knees into his skulls. Landing on top of him using his body to break her fall. She tumbled, and got back on her feet running towards the entrance that was roughly a mile away. She couldn’t expand to cover more ground because she did not want to wait the time limit to shrink back down. She made her way to the entrance and slammed her way in.

[Stimmothy]

[Paradigm Shift: Combat mode. Clauses; Planet Buster, Attrition, MC Hammer, Video Game Healer, 3rd Party. All current NPCs are fighting each other opposed to Alvarance and Morgan v Dallas and Sebastian.]

Something was different about these two, Alvarance could tell even at this distance. He paced a bit looking around him as the two approached shifting his ears for a heightened sense of sound. (Support) The Dragon rushed forward suddenly pushing all distractions back into the void so he could fill his body with the warmth to bring his foot down in a hard forward motion, causing a decent sized dust cloud and debris to fly towards the newcomers. (Attack Support). From the outside of the cloud, it seemed to only grow in size as Al continued to make craters for debris to use later. (Support 2) The remainder of the Mutiny forces should’ve been able to hold off the first wave of the Pandemonium squad. “Sorry Sevro,” Al’s voice rang out cold as he reflected on the damage he was doing to the dam. The sooner this was over with, the better.

[Silent Justice]

Morgan shooked her head at all the mess Alvarencd was making. She had seen the newcomers too and folded her bow back to the appropriate length (Suport). Seeing as how there was now a large cloud of dust to hide him, Morgan grabbed her quiver, and moved to flank Alvarence and climbed up onto a building to get the high ground on the field (Support). In her new position she set her quiver down in front of her and set it to prepare her skirmish preset of arrows (Setup). This way she wouldnt have to futz with the damn thing for the right arrow in a critical moment.

[AsherTheLion]

It took skill to be able to stand up on the back of a charging horse. This was not a skill that he had per se, but that didn't stop him from trying. He would have liked to have fallen off flat on his face and gotten trampled, but it looked like that wasn't going to happen today. He managed to steady himself just long enough to notice that they were now running into a dust cloud. He reached up to cover his face, coughing just a little bit. His attire hadn't prepared him for this so this was a bit awkward. God, he hoped that Dallas could see just in case they were now running into what he could only assume was a trap.

"DALLAS!" He was shouting and he had no real idea why. It's not like the sudden cloud of dust obstructed their hearing. "I AM GOING TO NEED YOU TO RUN OUT OF THE CLOUD!" As if that wasn't obvious. He reached into his pockets and drew out his knives. Now, his plan was to jump from the man's back and see if he could stab one of them. Or get a clear shot to at least throw a one of their backs.

[Dallas Au Sheppard]

The dust storm did well at obfuscating the Diamond Pony's eyesight, but besides that it did little to harm or bother him.  He tossed his great head in response to Asher's shouted command.  Dallas was not able to see all that far in the haze, but his reaction time was enough to get them through unscathed as he cut around piles of larger rubble and deftly leaped over any corpses.  As his vision began to clear and he began to sense they neared the end of the cloud, Dallas put on an impressive burst of speed with the intent of barrelling down and trampling anyone that might be awaiting them (Setup)...


If they were unfortunate enough to be standing in front of the pony's path, of course.

[Stimmothy]

The issue with running as a horse is the clattering of hoofbeats. Even in the worst of times, one could normally identify the sound normally. Alvarance with his enhanced hearing and tight focus could hear it despite the chaos around them. He sidestepped around the path of the horse and brought his foot down hard, sending that warmth through it as it landed. A large part of the dam cracked and lifted due to the pressure of the blow, send cracks, crevices and various obstacles in the way of Dallas and Sebastian. If they didn’t divert their path at all or slow down they’d fall over due to the sudden difficulty and extreme change in the terrain. (Counter.) He rushed to flank them from newly created high ground, trusting Morgan would prevent them from moving too far across the dam. (Setup). On his way, he grabbed two of the pieces of rubble,getting an idea. (Setup 2)

[Silent Justice]

Morgan watched the stupid horse, the stupid maniac rider, and stupid Alvarence with some annoyance. Always making a mess of a battle field. Cant just let her shoot them in the fucking head and get it over with. Morgan pulled the flashbang arrow he had prepped and fired it into the path of the charging horse (Attack). To make sure they couldnt take off down the damn, Morgan pulled one of her blast arrows and set it to proximity, and fired it onto the road leading back the way they came (Trap). Now to sit and cover Alvarence's blind spots so they couldnt surround him (Counter). These boys stepped into the wrong neighborhood.

[AsherTheLion]

As if the dust cloud hadn't been enough of a deterrence for his eyes. The fucked up path they were now running across was recoverable. Or so he might have thought as the flash bang hit. As if he was having enough trouble with his godforsaken eyes. He couldn't rub them with this. He was disoriented and unstable and he fell off the diamond pony, hitting what he thought (hoped) was the ground. There was a sharp pain in his shoulder. But moments afterwards, he blacked out.

"Who in the FUCK thought THAT was a good idea?!" Atticus had taken over and was standing up, dragging a knife out of his shoulder. "It's been quite awhile since I saw my own blood . . ." He trailed off and licked the blade, a shiver slipping up and down his spine. He couldn't accurately see his opponents and he had no idea where that fucking stead went. Would his tracking eyes help with that? He debated it for a moment, alternating knife grips in his hands.

"What kind of pussy ass shit is this? Why don't you come out here and fight me like men!"

[Dallas Au Sheppard]

Diamond hooves created a distinct tune as Dallas sprinted forwards.  Flying debris and dust proved to be of little consequence to his resilient, brilliant form, but the shifting of terrain proved to be an entirely different obstacle.  One moment he was running and then the next he was... flying.  A weight left his back (a weight he figured was Sebastion), but he had other things to deal with as a remarkable flash filled the area and he found himself vaulting over a menacing piece of rebar.

If he had hands or a voice he would have called out for his partner, but he was a fucking pony.

Dallas' nostrils flared at the sight of Alvarence and he reared back onto his hind legs in a display of ferocity and fortitude--his thrashing hooves caught the sun's rays and sent them dancing toward his opponent in attempt to blind him or, at the very least, make him squint.  Next, the pony charged at the rubble-wielding Alvarance, but at the last moment he slanted off towards a ruptured piece of dam that would serve as a ramp and leaped with all his might.

Someone had thrown that flash bang at them, someone had also blown up the road behind them, and that someone had to be dealt with.  He hoped Sebastion would take care of himself, but he was a member of Pandomonium.  You fought and lived or you fought and died.  Simple.

[Stimmothy]

The light caught Alvarance off guard, but the Warrior merely closed his eyes and listened. The pony left after a moment, probably towards Morgan. If that was the case, he wouldn’t think much about it until otherwise called to. No, instead Al would focus on the obscene voice. “I suppose you don’t know much about strategy.” Alvarance’s voice was cold and seemed to carry through the chaos, “Let me teach you then.”

Al sent the energy through his fingertip, shattering the rubble in his hand to various sizes and tossed it around him. “Come and get me if you’re so confident.” The flame in Alvarance’s mind burned steady as he shifted his feet slightly, prepared to move in response. He took a deep breath, steeling his resolve. He wouldn’t kill if he could avoid it, but if necessary… best not to think about it too much. The heat inside him began to rise.

[Silent Justice]

Morgan watched the other one break off and smile. They werent as dumb as she thought. If they had decided to try and double team Alv and ignore her, then Morgan would have picked them off easily. But sending one to try to deal with him was stupid too. Unless the other one had something special hidden up his sleeve, almost no one could duel Alvarence one on one. 

This one must be the pony. From up on her pillar, he didnt look so dangerous, but better safe than sorry. Morgan had already used the smokescreen and flashbang arrows from the Skirmish set. Three arrows left, but shed rather not kill these punks if she could avoid it. Mutiny may want prisoners to interrogate. 

Since she had a moment before the one coming towards him reached the pillar, Morgan drew one of her explosive arrow from the kit and fired it at the one with the knife near Alvarence. She didnt fire it directly at him, but more towards the ground between him and the edge of the dam. Didnt want to blow him off the side either. After that Morgan pulled her zipline arrow and fired it towards a small build a slight ways down the dam. Much lower than her current spot but it would put distance between her and the one coming for her. The arrow made a crack in mid air and fired back at Morgan, imbedding one end into the wall next to Morgan to create an anchor. As soon as he started to climb shed jump on and ride it down to make his life even harder.

[AsherTheLion]

The man with split personalities really should have seen something like this coming. His mental state made it hard to comprehend certain things around him and that combined with the wound and the blood oozing out of his body made it a little harder to react fast enough. Sure, he saw the movement out of the corner of his eye, but before he could even turn towards it to see what it actually was, the ground beneath his feet erupted in what he could only say was an explosion. He stumbled and he staggered, but lost his footing. He fell to the ground, but managed to push himself up. However, once more fate decided that it didn't like him for whatever reason.

He growled as someone came at him, turning to brace himself for the impact. He could have ducked, that might have been the smarter plan. However, he wasn't sure he could have done that and stayed on the dam. With as much of it that seemed to be crumbling around him, he wasn't sure it would even stay up for that much longer. What was he really supposed to do in this situation? He couldn't see very well with all the dust in his eyes, all this falling and trying to move around was making his body ache. He didn't want to give up per se, but what else was there for him to really do? So he sighed and stood as still as he could, hoping that as soon as the dust cleared this time, he could at least surrender with something that resembled dignity.

Dallas gained speed as he galloped along and his feet (hooves?) became more accustomed to the ground, but, frankly, he had no idea where he was going.  Sure, he suspected the archer was somewhere in this direction, but it was just a suspicion--nothing more, nothing less.  He was doing nothing more than running and keeping a wary eye out when he spotted a thin, black...  Was that a zip line?


The diamond pony's body began to collapse in on itself as its torso shortened and thinned, hooves flattened out and elongated and, finally, a human stood where the pony once had.  However, the diamond skin remained somewhat and he looked like some sort of transparent, milky human being... weird.  This had never happened before.


With a shrug of his shoulders he cast away the mild confusion and, instead, put his concentrations toward aiming his .45 long colt jusssst right.  Bang!  The bullet tore through the air and, if his aim was true, would cut the zip line.  Regardless of whether or not his shot connected, Dallas took off towards the origin of the zip line with as much haste as he could muster.  His pony form was faster on flat, open grounds, but navigating uneven or odd terrain was a different story entirely.


He really hoped he hit that zip line... chasing his opponent always made him cranky.

Alvarance approached Sebastian at high speed through the dust and swung his fist, stopping it just before it made contact. Something was different. “I have no desire to fight one who has ceded. You are injured and fighting like this will warrant you far more harm than good. Let’s get you patched up and taken care of.” Alvarance’s tone didn’t match his words. He wouldn’t let his guard down and risk regretting it.

Alvarance guided Sebastian over to an entrance, commanding 2 Mutiny soldiers to keep an eye on him. Perhaps information could be gathered from this one. They’d find out. Alvarance turned back to the rubbled out area and glanced around, looking for either Morgan or the diamond covered beast, The sooner this ended, the better.
