Sub-Arc - South Route: The Sand Village [Completed]

[Ryuzaki]

------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Arc South Route: The Sand Village
------------------------------------------------------------

Border of the Town: Jinta

"Hello.....!??" The golem called out to the Exorcists around it, it was obviously Komui's voice, which was very annoying, even in this situation..

"Helloooo!? Anyone there!?"

"Yes! We're here...! Komui..."

"O good, I was a bit worried there, but not anymore! Anyways...! We've gotten word from a Finder that a person named Vincent, in the sand village, Jinta, has gained some "False Innocence" just like the town of Danilov where the other Exorcists are int he North. But it seems that we have no idea how he's gotten hold of such a thing, but he and his followers have managed to inherit the powers of an Exorcist, but they are not using them very well and have killed many people." Silence broke out between the group of Exorcists.

"And also.. it seems that he is working for the Earl, maybe... we suspect him to be a Broker, but he isn't hiding it since he has such support and power. But that's not all... unlike Petro, who the other group of Exorcists are currently dealing with, Vincent, has a device underneath the city that is capable of spreading thousands of Fake Innocence around the whole Middle East, if this happens, I'm afraid this will be the biggest opportunity to destroy humankind. So please, succeed, or we're finished...I want you to... eliminate him and his followers who carry the Fake Innocence... Good luck everyone, and I will give you all updates as this mission goes on, Komui out!"

Kaze stretched and looked around. All sand, worn out buildings.

"Sure is quiet, it seems like a gohst town," he sighed. He turned to see Takai striding to a house labelled "Inn".

"Lets take a break first," Takai said. "I'll ask the inhabitants. After all i think those people with the Fake Innocence will be keeping a low profile."

[Nightvision]

Mizaki kept his silence the whole way. Without a doubt he was sure that he was tired. He knew he was hungry as well. His stomach growled a little as he stood right next to Martosu, since he was the only one he worked with the longest.

"I'd do anything for food right now."

He looked down on the ground and tried not to make any eye contact with others. Especially when it is so crowded, Mizaki feels very different and weird. He put his hands in his pocket, trying to ignore the sound his stomach is making.

[Fect]

Jacques picked up Kaze and dunked his head into the water trough. Pulling Kaze's head out, Jacques put him down. "What you do that for?!" Kaze requisitioned.

Jacques took off his Black Order Jacket and put it over his head, drying it out. "Kaze, we need to keep a low profile ourselves. Not only are the Noah here, but those fake innocence users are also. And I didn't mention this, but several finders were killed, thanks to us letting the enemy slip under us. You all stay here while I go talk."

Folding his jacket over his arm, Jacques walked inside the house. The others looked inside. Two men were sitting at a table, enjoying a drink; a woman sat in the back, making sigara böregi. Ignoring the two men at the table, Jacques walked back to her. Conversing, Jacques let out a smile. The two men at the table were looking over; giving her a small copper coin, Jacques left the house.

Addressing the group, he told them, "We aren't welcome there. The wife knows something; but she won't say what. I just showed her the symbol and she shook her head. But she told us there was another inn that could accommodate us down the road. And make sure you have a change of clothes. I only have one extra."

Picking up his bag, he walked down the road, and walked inside another building. This one only had a woman, an elderly widow, who needed business.

"Aasalaamu Aleikum. Hal beemkanek mosa’adati?"

The old woman nodded and walked upstairs. Jacques waited downstairs until she came back down and then motioned for them to go up.

[kensei]

Leroy:

"Must be handy knowing other languages," Leroy rolled his eyes, as he eyed two little children playing outside a makeshift tavern. The two boys were playfully wrestling while a little girl cried when their game made her drop a small gem.

She kneeled down and quickly searched for the dropped artifact among the sand. She looked panicked, as soon as she found it her face revealed a lot relief, as she wiped her tears.

Her eyes widened as she saw a shadow looming over her.

"Hello, little girl. What is that pretty thing?" Sicarii towered over the silent six-year old. "No answer?"

Kneeling down to the level of the girl, he looked her straight in the eye. "Where did you get it?"

[kensei]

Ruth:

Sipping another glass of the local liquor, Ruth ignored the commotion outside. Stopping in the then nearest town to rejuvenate and relax, Ruth was pretty sure her brothers and sister enjoyed being served actual drinks after a while.

"It's good to finally sit in a chair don't you think?" she smiled as Constantine almost choked on some local cuisine.

The tavern had a nice feel to it, compared to those dreadful deserts. Indoor gardens, antique decorations on the wall, and yes, some well-needed fans were the perfect touch to the place, as Ruth closed her eyes feeling like she wasn't on a mission and was more on a vacation.

A little girl cried outside as some taller person interrogated her.

"Where did you get it?"

Some people are so rude..

[Fect]

The rooms upstairs were fairly bleak. A bed and a chair. But it was better than nothing.

'You've been awfully quiet.'

Next to him, she slept. The shimmering lake was always a sight to be had.

'Well, sleep well.'

Coming back downstairs, a child stood in front of Sicarii. He was holding the jewel between his two fingers, but she quickly swiped it out of his hands and ran off. The girl's father appeared from his home. Sicarii walked over towards the man, and they quickly got into a conversation.

Coming back, the sun finally faded from the sky and the town went into their homes. The widow went upstairs and slept, while the group had a meeting. "...that girl got the stone from a man who came to the town with wealth, but no one knows where he is."

The group then all went to their respective rooms. Some stayed downstairs to chatter, but on the whole, everyone had left, and the widow went back downstairs.

[Nightvision]

Mizaki went up to his room and took his exorcist shirt off and folded it up. He the put the order's badge in his pocket and put on his giant white cloth to cover himself up. Since he has to make it cover up the higher part of his body, he took the scarf and wrapped it around his stomach, making his face completely visible. He gave a glance at the bed next to his table.

"Its been awhile since i slept in a nice bed."

He slowly sat on the bed to wait a few minutes then tightened his gloves and headed down. Down towards where the others meet. As he approached next to Leroy. He asked.

"So now wha.."

Suddenly Mizaki's stomach growled again interrupting their conversation. He looked down again ignoring the sound made by his hunger.

[Fect]

Jacques had just laid down to bed when he heard a knock on his door. "Who's there?"

"Jacques? You there?"

Getting up and opening the door, Jacques was met with a hug. He blushed a little, then hugged her back.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing~"

Jacques was a bit surprised. Well, it's not like she'd had a lot of company while they were all dreaming. "If you need someone to talk to, I'll do my best and listen, alright Angie?"

"Thankies~" She replied.
--------------------------
((Get well soon.))

[aI]

Gabriel stepped into one of the ancient streets that represented the outskirts of the small village in the middle of the sand.

He could sense all those Exorcists somwhere off to his left a short way..Still he had more pressing matters to concern himself with..Expecially with the man who was dressed in a long black robe...Who seemed to be muttering to himself something about wiping out the invaders...

Normally a crazy man would be entertaining to watch but then again when normally did a crazy man have an innocence like hand coming out from underneath his robe.

I wish for once I could just go to sleep and not have to deal with all this

Gabriel thought as he inclined his head towards the man as he came screaming at him...a few seconds later after a brief clash saw the man on the ground looking wildly up at gabriel who had his sword out and pointed directly at the mans face.

"You could do yourself a favour next time if you didn't play with strangers you don't know"

He thrust his arm forward and watched with cool intent as his blade slid effertlessly through the mans head.

"Unfortuently for you there won't be a next time.."

Wiping the blade clean on the mans robes as he bent down and snapped off the mans hand like Innocence.

A poor fake but still it retains some power..Not enough to be annoying but enough to be of interest..

Throwing the hand in his backpack he moved to his left towards the group of Exorcists to find out what was going on.

[kensei]

Leroy:

Leaning on the window, he saw more little kids waving their glowing stones in the night, mesmerized by the beautiful colors as they danced around under the stars.

Leroy, communicated with Jacques via golem, not wanting to disturb others with a loud knock. "Do you see that? By the window?"

"Either they're radioactive rocks, or the fake Innocence shards we've been sent to investigate," Leroy spoke through the golem in a sarcastic tone.

"Either way, they would be, no- they are dangerous in the hands of little kids," Jacques' voice replied.

"If it's the case that one of them was real and began synchronizing with the children?"

"We won't let that happen."

Finally moving away from the window, Leroy lay down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The clock struck nine as another boy shouted 'Tag.'

"What should we do? We don't want to seem like kidnappers in the dark..."

[aI]

Gabirel stood at the edge of the Square shrouded in darkness next to the edge of a building unseen by observers..In the middle of the square a small group of children were playing tag..Shards of glowing rock passing through their tiny hands..

One of them is a fake one like in my back

He considered..

And the other rocks are simply being imprinted with the Fakes essense hence the glowing..

Looking up he looking at the blackened out window where he had caught a glimps of an exorcist or a finder speaking into one of those little things they carried around..

So they're interested in these things...I wonder if they want them..

Resting his head against the window he waited to see what the Exorcist would do...After all he had no orders to do anything..Why work if you didn't have to.

[Nightvision]

After having a nice full dinner in his room he feel restored and great.

"Good chance to know some more people now, you're going to be with these people for your whole lifetime being an Exorcist. What Leroy? i barely talked to him since that day at Mr. Nightgown's mission."

He then put on the cloth that wrapped around him and made his way out the door. He reached the end of the hallway and knocked on Leroy's door.

"Maybe he is still sleeping."

[kensei]

Ruth:

"May I see that dear?" Ruth smiled as the jewellery vendor held out her hand to reveal a beautiful glowing jewel on her ring. "It's very lovely, how much is it?"

"Oh, no-no," the thin lady shook her hands. She had bags under her eyes and oily hair- the results of living in a poor land, but she valued her ring more than anything. "Not for sale. A man gave this to me for free."

"How disappointing," Ruth gave a sorry look. "I understand, I wouldn't want to give it away if I had one. I'll just take this one then."

The woman's eyes widened as Ruth took the most expensive bracelet, and gave her a large amount of money, too much for the gold bracelet. She begged Ruth to take the change- or what little coins she had left, but Ruth repeatedly declined. The woman cried for joy as Ruth twirled under the night sky with her new bracelet.

Upon reaching the next dark alley, she joined her fellow Noah group and showed her new bracelet.

"And?" Constantine gave an sharp look.

"There's a supplier here somewhere, giving the 'strange rocks' to the people."

[Fect]

"I have an idea," Jacques replied, "Sit on the porch, and begin talking like a spirit. Can you throw your voice?"

"No, but I'll sit on the porch and talk," Leroy replied.

Leroy walked outside. Jacques began moving his fingers and hands in the motion of waves. Angie sat, watching. A small white light came out of Jacques' hands. It flew out the window, and then began spinning and twirling around the boys. Leroy walked towards them. The small white glowing orb fascinated them.

'Make it up on the spot Leroy...'

"You like the magic trick, boys?" Leroy asked.

They nodded their heads, and smiled at the little white light surrounding them. "How about I show you another trick?" The two boys sat there, watching him. The orb then spun around Leroy's head and hung over his shoulder. Jacques was strained to keep the orb going. "If you hand me those two rocks, I'll make another one for each of you."

Leroy pulled out the phosphorus he kept as a part of his rifle. 'That might not work, but as long as he gets the rocks, he can hide in here for a bit.'

Grabbing the stones, Leroy quickly moved them behind his back. The white sprite made more dances through the air to occupy the boys. He pulled out a few small green crystals, and then swapped them. 'Those are the ones on the widow's shelf.'

She knocked on the door and Angie answered. "Hello~"

The old widow didn't say a word, but instead bowed in acknowledgment of the swap. She held out her hand, and Jacques pulled out a gold coin and handed it over. She folded her hands over and silently left.

'That may have cost me a lot, but it was well worth it. I'll just charge Komui when I get back.'

[aI]

Gabriel watched the light show the Exorcist was putting on for the boys amusingly..

Such a simple idea yet so effective..

Moving round the outside of the square he headed towards the building that the Exorcists where in.

((If I don't post by the time you leave the building my character will jjust be keeping out of sight and sense untill I can repost..))

[Ryuzaki]

"Tch, damn that Road and her petty tricks... she even got me into all of that mess.. and my hat got dirty too...! I'll get her back soon..." I dusted off my top hat with my gloves and looked at Nero and Leiko, who haven't been talking that much since Road's little fun that she had with us.

"So, why are we suppose be here in the trashy village anyways!? There isn't much of anything here, right?" Leiko said as we trudged along the sandy path down to the sand village.

"Tch, Leiko you already forgot what the Earl said to us a while back didn't you?"

Flashback...


"Oo ooo oooo... Leiko, my dearest Leiko... Have you heard of anything lately from the Akuma down in the Middle East? I do say that there is something very interesting that I must tell you about." The Earl smiled with his usual grin.

"No, I haven't heard of anything... Uncle E... do tell..." Replying sarcastically to the Earl, Leiko put her hands on the table and leaned, acting as if she wqas interested to hear his little story.

"Well, there seems to be someone there who is very promising to help us out... O I what was his name again..."

"Vincent... Uncle E, Vincent.." Constantine came from the library just in time to meet the Earl. "I've heard from one of the Akuma Level 3 down there if you were curious..."

"Ooooo, so you have heard of him Constantine! I'm so happy! <3"

"Yeah I've heard of him Uncle E, if I remember what the Akuma told me was that he has some sort of False Innocence in his possession... there's more to the story than that but he's going to eventually spread this around the Middle East, which would help you out quite a bit if succeeded.. right.. Uncle E...?"

"My, my... Leiko, you should take notes from Conny once in a while, he has some helpful information aheheheh."

"Conny...? Heheh... Nice joke Tubby..."

Present...

"Tch, now do you remember...?" I said to Leiko who actually seemed to listen to my story.

"Yeah yeah... I heard... So it looks like this Vincent guy will be setting off this Fake Innocence soon, eh?"

"Yes so it seems... so let's enjoy ourselves and have a little fun watching the show... right... Nero, aheheh.." I patted him on the shoulder, he didn't respond to what I said to him.

[Nightvision]

Without waiting much Mizaki slowly went down the stairs out for a walk since he couldn't sleep when being so full. As he approached the stairs and looked out the window he noticed that there were shimmering lights jumping up and down. Just then a white light went off. Mizaki quietly ran down and out the door to check it out.

[Toukestu Zero]

Zero sepreated from the group and went of to the meeting point he and Mikey was going to meet. Altough they did get into several fights, he was more excited than he wanted to admit.

Just then, someone grabbed his shoulder," Hey there Zeeru !" that someone yelled into his ear. Zero spun around angrily. "Mikey, stop calling me Zeeru!" then he calmed down. "Coming?"

"Let's go then."

[kensei]

Leroy:

As he examined the rocks, Leroy was astonished at how close the make up of the fake innocence particles are to the real thing.

"There are only about two or three differences," he told Jacques, looking through the rock to the light. "Also, like how an innocence responds to a user, these rocks change color depending on the holder. Watch."

Leroy handed the green rock to Jacques, who upon holding the fake innocence, instantly made its color turn into a bright blue. Jacques was amazed, at the same time worried about its effects. Angelique took the rock from Jacques to see what color hers would be, but pouted when it only turned into a dull grey.

"It's not very colorful for me," she sighed.

"If it turns to a dull grey," Jacques eyed Leroy seriously, "how would we differentiate it from the normal rocks?"

"That's the problem," Leroy sighed, as he leaned back on his chair.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

"Arrrughhh im still wet," Kaze sighed as he dried his hair with a towel. "Damn Jacques dunked my head in the water."

"He got us a room in a inn though," Takai dryly added (pun intended). Kaze only looked up from the towel, still pouting. Takai grinned. HIs brother sure acted like a little kid sometimes.

"Interesting method," Takai added in responce in the way Leroy managed to obtain the stones from the children. "Nice and simple- hey where did you get that?"

Kaze had taken out one of those Fake Innocence out of his pocket and was eyeing it.

"Remember when jacques dunked me into the water barrel? I saw something shiny at the bottom of the water and took it. Surprisingly it turned out to be one of the fake ones. Maybe the stones were smuggled into the village in those water barrels?" Kaze mused as he watched the stone turn a blood red. "hey it changed color!"

"Well i heard it changes color depending on the person holding it," Takai replied, taking the stone from kaze, too curious to see what color it would turn to. "Hey mine's white!"

"Come on, time to go out and have a look down at the warehouse where they store those water barrels," Kaze said as he took off his exorcist jacket and bid Takai to do the same. "I want to check if there's more hidden in those barrels."

[Reco]

Martosu had watched Leroy get the fake Innocence from the kids playing in the street from his window.

They seem to be given to anyone if some kid has it. So this Vincent must be someone who interacts with all of the people in the village...like a doctor or teacher of some sort.

Martosu rested his head on his hand and mulled it over.

He must be really desperate to start working with the Earl and to sacrifice his own people in the search for power. I really despise people like him.

He then heard something about a water barrel warehouse through the thin walls of his room.

Maybe I should go follow them encase if the place is heavily gaurded...Tch, they can just ask if they want some help.

[Toukestu Zero]

The duo ran around town looking for an inn as it got dark. ( "Damn this big town!" Mikey grumbled.) Naturally they found one not long later. Zero popped a bubble gum into his mouth as they stepped in. The innkeeper gave them a room, but Zero felt a sinister aura around him. " He could be one of those fake innocence users," Mikey said after Zero had told him about it. " It's rather possible."


Later that night, Mikey blew out the candle and just before they fell asleep, they heard footsteps at the corridor. (The old inn creaks whenever anyone walks) Suddenly the door slowly opened and the innkeeper tiptoed in, he whipped out a knife and raised it above Zero's chest. " Good night," he whispered.


Then he dropped the knife. Mikey turned the lights on, and Zero just simply rolled to the side. He hopped out of bed, pulled out the candle and knife and charged at innkeeper, peircing his heart with a burning silver knife.


The useless loser dropped dead and Zero sliced him to bits before incinerating him. The innkeeper was reduced to fine dust and ash and the two placed the ash in a bottle of cyanide ( Don't ask me why it was there) in the private storeroom. They retrieved the fake innocnce and left quickly, but they didn't forget to take the cyanide. Just as Mikey gripped the stone, it glowed a beautiful shade of green. The fine colour of a healthy oak tree leaf. "Hey this is cool!" Mikey excalimed and Zero took it from him. The stone turned black. Completely black. Black like...the innkeeper.

[aI]

((@ Kenzei & Co ))

Gabriel stepped up the steps of the inn carefully and slowly so as not to make any undue noise..Slipping gracefully up the hallway till he was outside the room that he had seen the person looking out earlier..

allowing his Akuma to slide through the lock of the door he heard it click as it opened then with a small smile he let the door handle down and he pushed the door open and stepped into the door frame.

Looking down at the pair who were inside the room one standing up and the other sitting in a chair with one of those fake innocence's in his hand he inclined his head and said.

"Mind If I converse with the pair of you for a moment"

((I'm not there for a fight just a talk but i'll wait for your reactions before I post.))

[kensei]

Leroy:

His eyes widened as he failed to notice the Akuma entering the room. Naturally, his first instinct was to point his weapon, but found it strange that the Akuma did not do anything to defend or retaliate.

It just stood there. Well, more so floated.

"What is your business here?" Leroy snapped defensively, pulling his musket back up.

"I believe you, like yourselves, I don't want any trouble," the Akuma replied.

Is this for real?

Ruth:

Ruth stretched out her hand as she watched the stars through the semi-transparent rock. Observing each perfectly cut angle of the purple rock, she played with it until Constantine approached her.

"Where did you get that?" he asked.

"The jewelry shop," Ruth answered bluntly, as she made no effort to turn her face towards Constantine.

The fresh breeze of the night blew across the rooftop they were on.

"I thought you said you let the lady have hers?"

Ruth finally turned to Constantine, smiling. "Yes I did. Most of hers anyway."

Constantine's face failed to comprehend. Ruth sighed and rolled her eyes, as she finally stood up. "Meaning what exactly?" Constantine continued as Ruth passed him by and began standing on the edge of the roof.

"When I gave a look at her ring I chipped off a teeny bit," she smiled, as she eyed the boisterous kids laughing and playing with their glowing rocks. "Her life seemed so much better with that single rock. It would have been cruel of me to take that away from her."

"So you only took part of the rock?"

The children's laughter echoed among the streets, as one by one they wre being called home by their overworked parents. "I believe I did."

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

As they neared the giant warehouse, Kaze whistled. "Looks like no ones around," he whispered. Just then, footsteps was heard behind them, and they turned to see Martosu looking at them.

"Geez, you can just ask me for help if you need them," he frowned.

Kaze gave a grin. "Well then, hi. Sure you can join us, we'll be safer together anyway. So I suppose you heard the conversation about the warehouse-"

Several more voices were heard coming out from the warehouse, interrupting Kaze's talk. The 3 of them ducked behind some bushes as they watched 4 men armed with 2 pitchforks, a gun, and a bat.

"And you said no one's around huh?" Takai whispered to Kaze, which shook his head in bemusement.

"When's the next batch of water barrels coming in?" one of them asked. He had a gravelly voice, and even from the distance they could tell he was powerfully muscled.

"In 2 days. Due to the coming drought, every household has reserved at least 2 barrels each. They'll soon find the stones, and thinking they're lucky, will keep it. Soon the stones will do their work..." the other man trailed off as he realised he was talking in public. This man seemed pretty well-dressed compared to the other 3, and he displayed a confident air about him.

By then, they had walked far away and their voices began to disappear into the distance. Takai moved as though to attack them, but Kaze shook his head. No use in attacking early and put the enermy on guard. They might even dispose the barrels after realising the 'new visitors' had discovered their secret.

"Looks like we're on something after all," Kaze smiled. "Come on, lets go in and snoop around."

[Reco]

Martosu followed Takai and Kaze into the building. It was brightly lit with the huge main floor partially bare waiting to accommodate the new shipment of barrels. At the far end was a metal vault big enough to cover one third of the wall. Martosu took one step forward, making a sound ring out off of the metal floor.

The voices outside stopped talking at the sound. Martosu didn't move an inch while they listened for anything else suspicious for a whole minute. But they were then satisfied and resumed their conversation.

That was close, but how are we going to get over to the vault without making any noise...what a pain.

He turned to Takai and Kaze, raising his eyebrow questioningly.

I really don't want to crawl over there..

[Toukestu Zero]

Leaving the inn with now the fake innocence, Mikey attempted to detect the locations for any other fake innocence, or maybe even real ones. But his animal instincts weren't working too well now, so he detceted nothing but a slightl weak aura coming from the west.

" It could either be a weak user, or it could simply mean that the user is far," Zero guessed. "Or maybe there is no user at all."

There wasn't much they coudl do, so Zero headed west while Mikey gathered information from relilable sources. The sources was never much help, but at least it always led them somewhere.

Mikey noticed a dark aura radiating from a young boy. He was short and had black spiky hair. He wore a punk leather jacket and black trousers. He got lots of chain jewllery and wore a black eyeliner. Mikey sensed danger, and contacted Zero.


"Hey, Zero!" Mikey called in a paciked tone. " I think there's danger here, come to....Arghhh!" Zero suddenly heard a horrible scream. Then the line was cut.

"Mikey...Mikey?"

[aI]

...:|.....((1. My akuma is a gaseous akuma so yar but he went back into my jacket. 2. I'm a noah and I don't float I tend to react to gravity hence the whole Standing on ground thing.))

Gabirel watched as the Exorcist in the chair stood up and pointed it's weapon at him..

How quaint..

"Relax" Gabriel said motioning for him to sit back down.."I'm not here for fun otherwise you'd already probably be dead..Instead I must admit that finding you all here again has piqued my curiosity..Why was I possesed to pose as a bard in your group a few days ago..Why didn't I kill you all as my Father would like...The old man is right in most things but my own way is more fun in my opinion...I've noticed that you Exorcists are collecting these fake Innocence's...As I have yet to hear otherwise they are of little interest to me..I've already found out all I need to from them as that is the case I thought you might be more fun with them then I."

So saying Gabriel reached into his bag and drew out the Fake innocence he had retrieved from the man who had insulted him earlier and threw it at the Exorcists feet.

"You may have what I found....And because I'm in a weird mood today if you ever have need of assistance simply blow this pipe and I shall see if theres any entertainment avaliable for me.."

Finishing off he threw the pipe he had been playing for the week down next to the innocence and waited for the Exorcist to reply.

[Fect]

Jacques rested. "You're still a Tabula Rasa, and will always be, until you are given that."

He was asleep on the rock. She stroked his hair, and looked on. Then, something woke him up.

Outside, a kid was playing with his wooden toy gun; then, a bright flash and she held two cannon attached to her hands. Firing, Jacques lept out of bed and saw what was going on outside. He opened the window and ran out, throwing crosses into each of the kid's "new" appendages.

The other villagers walked outside. The father Sicarii had spoken to earlier was alarmed. Yelling something equivalent to "He's the trouble-maker," the father went inside and got a rifle. But, unlike a normal black round, it was a florescent purple as it came out of the barrel and struck Jacques' shield.

Jacques quickly wedged a shield between the child's cannon and the rock, dislodging it. The cannon vanished, and Jacques picked it up. Crushing it between his fingers and his palm, the stone broke apart easily.

More shots rang out, and Jacques ran backwards. 'As long as they only saw my green hair, eyes, and cloak, we'll be fine.' A bullet struck him in the shoulder and Jacques landed face down. It burned; the crowd was cheering. "Battlement." A large blast struck the sand. Jacques was nowhere to be seen.

[Toukestu Zero]

((Hi guys, I'm making my last post for today! I'm going to sleep after this! P.S. My time line is GMT:+8))

"Mikey...Mikey?"

"Mikey!" Zero yelled into his phone (they stopped using their golems).

Zero scanned the area for Mikey. He couldn't have gone very far. Zero told himself.

Meanwhile...
Mikey stared at the boy in shock. His scream had cut off the connection of his phone and he couldn't seem to connect him again. The boy screamed again and this time, it cut off all electircty supply in the area. "You're not human," Mikey said. The boy laughed. " You're a user of the fake innocence aren't you?"

The boy laughed again. " I'm the youngest brother of the four. We each hold onto an innocence. (fake innocence) Oh, and my name's Soul." Mikey's animal insticnts told him that Soul's innocence ability was his scream. Each scream summoned a soul which cut off something, including a heart beat or even a brainwave.

Good news: Soul is new to this. So he can't really control his innocence.
Bad news: Mikey is new to this too. And worse still he's a cleric. A damn cleric.
Conclusion: Mikey's damned.

[Fect]

Jacques sat in his hole. A green wall surrounded him, keeping the sand from pouring in on him. He looked rather anxious, waiting for the sun to rise and his comrades to come out.

"Well, it's better than the mob running you out of town. Or having your entire group get chased out."

'That's true, but I'd rather not have to sit here and wait.'

"You're far too impatient."

'And you're incredibly condescending.'

"I chose you for a reason, and I don't want you dying."

'Fine, fine. Be that way.'

The movement above him suddenly increased. Jacques' Golem broadcasted a message, "Where are you? Did you leave?"

"Walk outside."

He heard footsteps on the top of the cylinder, and launched himself out.

"Looking for me?" Jacques asked cautiously, back to his non-activated form.

A villager sat and blankly stared at the man who had risen from the ground. He was wearing the same clothes and the small blood stain on his right shoulder still showed. Jacques quickly took off his shirt and walked inside to change. Instead of his normal shirt showing, he put on a blue shirt and brown long coat over it.

The sun then began to rise.

Broadcasting the message, Jacques announced, "We're going to search for the shards. Find ways to get them from the villagers; and it seems we can destroy it by crushing it in our hands."

Leroy walked over, "What are you talking about? I haven't found a single way of destroying it all night."

Jacques thought for a second, then told everyone, "Forget that last comment. Recover the shards and bring them to our rooms."

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

That was close, but how are we going to get over to the vault without making any noise...what a pain.

He turned to Takai and Kaze, raising his eyebrow questioningly.

I really don't want to crawl over there..

Kaze grinned. "Let's fly then-" he was interrupted again by a knock on his head by Takai.

"Idiot, the both of us cant fly. Im sure the floor is designed in such a way that it only allows the people who work here to cross, maybe its something they have or wear?"

Kaze thought about it for a moment. "Maybe we attack the people outside and steal their clothes? Or just the shoes? Who knows, it might work."

He looked at Martosu. "What do you think?"

[Nightvision]

As Mizaki went downstairs he noticed Martosu has been following 2 other Exorcists he has never talk to before he then slowly made his way to follow them into a building. He was still hidden when Martosu and the other 2 were whispering.

"Nobody told me to be on duty this late."

He then took his gloves off and put it in his pockets, in case anything happens.

[Reco]

"We shouldn't kill people without knowing for sure they are the enemy. Also, it would expose us if another part of their group shows up and finds them dead. Let's just abduct them, knock them out and take their clothes and shoes, then put them somewhere hidden."

Martosu turned around, walked out the way they came in. The sun was starting to rise over the horizon, causing the shadows to shrink back. The three workers were smoking in a still semi-dark ally.

"I've ran out of my cigs, would one of you give me one?" one said.

"No way, go get your own", one replied.

"Fine, I'll go get some and nether one of you are getting any of them", he got up and walked toward the warehouse.

Stupid sheep, you should know how to protect yourself during a war, going off on your own is going to bite you in the end.

When the man walked close enough to Martosu, Martosu pulled one of his swords off his back and lept out, grabbed the man from behind and hit the blunt end of the sword against the man's head, knocking him unconscious. He pulled him into the remaining shadows and looked at Takai and Kaze.

"We really need to get the other two before all of our cover is gone."

[Toukestu Zero]

Soul had sucessfully trapped Mikey in a corner now, and just as he opened his mouth wide and began preparing for his finsihing move, a piece of chewed bubble gum flew staright into his open motuh. Soul choked and coughed, while Mikey was too digusted to comment.

Zero hopped down from his knife brought the burning knife down sraight at Soul, too bad he saw ihe knife and parried the attack with his bare fist. It hacked off his right arm and it bled like hell. Souls screamed in pain and this time it cut off the blood caculation in Zero's both arms. Which meant he couldn't fight or move them.

Mikey finnaly summoned his innocence and casted [Beast's Fury] on Zero. Zero understood Mikey's plan to telepthapy and hopped up, and began teleporting around. Once in every few seconds, he would appear in front of Soul and kick him with a burning foot. Soul's body caught fire and began screaming at Zero uncontrobally and just before he began his punching rampage, Zero cast the [Black Fireveil] and allowed himself to take damage from Soul continously, while Mikey healed him when his health got to low (It could only be used once per post, so Zero lost quite a bit of Health).

The fireveil dealt 2 fire damage to the opponent whenever Zero took 5 damage. Suddenly Soul fell to the ground, unconsious. Zero kicked his knife upwards which came plunging down at Soul's head and stabbed through his brain. Soul was defeated.

Zero
Health Lost: 12
Health Gained [Heal]: 5
Health Gained (Tuxedo): 2
Remaining Health: 32 - 12 + 7 = 27


Mikey
Health Lost [Heal]: 3
Health Lost [Beat's Fury] : 5
Remaining Health: 30 - 8 = 22

[Fect]

Angie, Leroy, and Jacques all were inside the hotel.

"What do you mean, you couldn't destroy it?" Jacques asked.

"Well, I set it down on the table, and shot it... twice," Leroy replied.

"What happened?"

"It absorbed the shots. Then, as my innocence got closer, it began resonating, like it wanted to absorb it," Leroy said.

Picking up one of the two remaining rocks, Jacques held it in his hand, then curled his palm into his hand, slowly applying pressure and pure energy into the rock. The core began pulsating, and expanding. Trying to force his hand to open, it lost its core and turned into a fine dust.

"The people of the town generally know who I am when I'm activated now," he told them while he crushed the rock. "I'll do my best to help, but I'm going to try to do it alone and minimize the impact on our group."

Angie sat, then slowly sank into her chair, slightly upset that she couldn't go with.

[kensei]

((Ai: my bad, i thought the he you were referring to in your post after the Akuma was summoned was still the gaseous Akuma))

Ruth:

The fake Innocence turned blood red the moment Constantine took the rock from Ruth.

"That Vincent you were talking about," Ruth muttered as she walked, "He sure knows how to make these people happy I suppose. How potent are these fake innocences to us?"

"Nothing we can't handle," Constantine gave a smug smile.

Suddenly there was an explosion was heard in the central market square one block away. There were piles of bloody corpses as the same little girl from outside the tavern- now blind, was crying as she wiped the blood from her eyes.

"That Vincent also knows how to make such a beautiful scene," Ruth smiled, as she walked towards the crying girl to put her out of her pain.

Permanently.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

When the man walked close enough to Martosu, Martosu pulled one of his swords off his back and lept out, grabbed the man from behind and hit the blunt end of the sword against the man's head, knocking him unconscious. He pulled him into the remaining shadows and looked at Takai and Kaze.

"We really need to get the other two before all of our cover is gone."

"Sure," Takai replied, and picked up a stone. "My turn." He threw the stone in the voices direction. Several clatters were heard, and raised voices.

"James, is that you?"

"That's a stupid prank by him. Most likely he was too lazy to buy more cigars and decided to pelt us with stones. James you idiot, i'll teach you a lesson...."

At once footsteps were heard heading towards Kaze and the others, and sure enough, Takai imitated Martosu, knocked him out, and took his shoes. Then Takai turned to Kaze.

"Your turn to get the last one."

Kaze shook his head, digusted that he have to wear someone's smelly shoe. Grinning slightly, he muttered. "Level 3 Innocence activate!" And 4 giant bat-like wings appeared at once across his back, and 8 swords materialised in the air.

"I prefer to fly, no need for those shoes," Kaze laughed as he saw the two jealous and angry faces. "Err well at least i can fly up and scout for you guys for the location of the workers."

Takai gave a resigned growl, and nodded. "Fine," he muttered as he stepped into the warehouse again. This time no alarm sounded.

"I was right, it was the shoes..." Kaze smugly added. "SHUT UP," Takai muttered.

[Reco]

Martosu walked after Takai into the warehouse, purposely bumped Takai's shoulder as he went by him to first look into the barrels. He turned his head and smirked, "You two are so amusing with each other, it's a wonder one of you hasn't killed the other" he said jokingly. He frowned when he realized what he just said.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, Kotido.

But oddly the voice didn't have anything to say to that.

Maybe it's hybernating..

When Martosu reached the first barrel all he could see was his reflection off the water's surface. He reached his hand into the water, felt along the bottom and did not find any Fake Innocence.
He pulled his hand out and turned to Takai.

"They must store it in the vault until they hand out the barrels."

He walked over to the vault, tried to force it open but it wouldn't budge. Then he heard the explosion coming for the center of the town.

Well, that goes any cover whatsoever because surly the workers are now going to make sure their warehouse is secure. And when they do they'll spot us..

Martosu drew his twin blades saying "Innocence activate". He wedged them into opposite sides of the middle hinge, focused all of the electricity into a ball, and condensed the electricity until it was unstable. He withdrew the blades, making the electricity explode outward, leaving a medium size hole in the vault.

"Let's go see if putting on these nasty shoes was worth it."

He entered the vault, turned his head and found a mound of glowing, green rocks. No, not rocks...

"This must be it..."

Martosu picked one up and the green color was replaced by a burnt sienna. He then felt it pulling at his Innocence, this was greatly unsettling so he threw the rock away and deactivated his Innocence.

Martosu looked at Takai and asked,"what are we going to do with all of these?"

[Fect]

Jacques sat there, practicing making the orb dance through the air, while working on something else. It was easier than it had been last night. Then a voice came over the golem: "A small warehouse on the east side of town holds a large cache of our rocks. We'll need help carrying them back."

"Stay there, we're coming," Jacques told them.

Angie, Leroy, and Jacques all then left the house and the old widow took the rock and put it away on her shelf.

A family was outside with a water barrel, and a Caucasian man stood in front of them. "Shokran, Vincent," the father-figure told him. 'Vincent?' The non-native man stood there, wearing a black eyepatch with golden lining, and brown hair.

Going through the alley, Jacques whispered, "We know who Vincent, or at least one of his followers, is."

The three walked inside, and Jacques began the long process of destroying each and every stone. Then, a man walked inside. "Activate."

There he stood, clad in armor with a large shield. He threw it towards the vault, but Angie knocked it up. It stuck in the wall, but then rumbled and flew back to its user. Jacques wasn't more than a third of the way done. "It's the war..." A sword went through the man's neck, rendering him unable to speak.

Jacques told the others, "You all need to leave now. We can't have you all be targeted by the mob."

[Toukestu Zero]

Zero retrived Soul's fake innocnce and hid it in his jacket. This is kind of wierd, Zero thought. How come all we meet are the users and not the innocence on its own? " Maybe someone's plotting against us," he concluded.

"Oy, Mikey," Zero called. " Know where's the next?"

Mikey looked at him. "Hah?"

Zero sighed. " Soul said that there were four brothers..."

"Oh. Why would I know where the rest are?"

"Well you have instincts of an animal."

" Do I take that as an insult or a compliment."

" Well, let's leave that to you to decide. Well try detetcing them now."

Mikey had to try several times. Finnaly he detected a faint aura coming from underground.

"Seriously?" Asked Zero. " So we're fighting agaisnt...the dirt?"

Mikey rolled his eyes (He never did it correctly, it looked like his eyeballs were dying...well something like that). " It means that guy's underground."

"Okay," Zero responded. " So he's a miner?"

"Maybe," Mikey nodded. Then he thought about it. " Ah, maybe not."

"We'll think about that tommorow. I want a place to sleep." Zero yawned. I can't have you healing me all day, you'll die."

"Well yeah." Mikey agreed reluctanly. "but hey, since when you began worrying about me?"

Zero ignored that comment and climbed down the stairs to a nearby pub and booked a room. He didn't want to go back to the deadly inn."Night," he finnaly said and dropped off to sleep. Mikey began drawing on Zero's face with a black marker.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

Martosu turned his head and smirked, "You two are so amusing with each other, it's a wonder one of you hasn't killed the other" he said jokingly.

Takai laughed. "We're brothers after all, and Kaze's the younger brother." He bent over the hole that Martosu created and took out a handful of the Fake innocence. They glowed white, but otherwise didnt attack Takai's Innocence.

"Maybe its because I didnt activate my Innocence yet."

Just then, Kaze voice drifted down from above. "2 men heading our direction, althought they're still far away." With that Kaze dropped down beside them, least the men saw him floating in the air. He picked up one of the fake innocence and it glowed a blood red before a golden swirl appeared in it and the stone started cracking.

Takai frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Im feeding it raw innocence power, since it wants to abosorb the real innocence so much. Who knows, this might be a way to make it into a real innocence."

Takai thought about it. "True, there's only 109 innocence in the world, some with the Order, some destroyed. It would be good if we can produce more innocence.... but thats dangerous."

The fake innoncence was a bright golden by then, but had cracked into 5 different pieces. Suddently with a loud roar they burst into flames. Kaze immediately dropped them and cursed. The 2 men must have saw the flames. With shouts one of those men raised the alarm, while the other stepped towards Kaze and the group.

"Intruders will be destroyed. Innocence activate," he growled. Kaze was surprised. "He can activate a fake innocence too?"

[aI]

Gabriel slowly yawned as he sat up from where he had been sleeping in the morning sun on top of one of the few buildings that made up the small village.

Last night had been consturctive if nothing else with the fake innocence he had snagged no longer in his hands but in the hands of that Exorcist named Leeroy and a promise of Entertainment should the situation ever occur..

Even playing with Mice is fun sometimes

He mused.

rolling over onto his side he focused his mind upon his siblings who were wandering around...It looked like his sister had already had some fun and knowing the other two this village would soon no longer be featured on the map.

Shrugging he looking towards the direction of the Eastern Asian HQ...A more pressing matter was his..The only direction his father had given him burned in his mind..he had strayed from the path for too long as usual.

getting up he focused untill he was ready to travel and began moving fast away from the Village upon the air.

((I'm outa of this arc done what I wanted..))

[Fect]

No one moved. 'We're going to have a full-on war.'

Jacques kept destroying the stones one by one. 'What's with these things? They're so many of them.'

Then, several men walked in. One was dressed in a flowing white silk robe, the others with shorter black robes.

"Well, it seems you found my little operation. I'll just have to make my leave and give the Earl your message. In the meanwhile, I hope you do enjoy the fireworks I'm about to show you."

The villagers walked up, worried about what was going on. "Vincent!" The mob cried. The man in the white robe then began to grow white feathery wings from his back. Then, a dark force came from the water barrels and combined into a long lance. Jacques watched the man intently. "It's the evil man from earlier!" The father shouted. The little girl stood beside him.

The others then drew ring pommel sabers and rushed towards the others, while Vincent watched, holding a small black and gold box.

[Nightvision]

When Mizaki saw that the flame and the alarm went off he quickly shot up and activated his level 1 innocence.

"S*it we've been discovered."

When a person activated his innocence and was hostile to the group Mizaki was watching, he quickly jumped out behind the wall and landed behind the person who just activated his innocence. He gave a full power swing into that and knocked him out as fast as possible to prevent any long delay in escape.

[Undying]

Dinnin crawled up from the sands, throughly annoyed. Road took her anger on the failure of her plan on him, which naturally resulted in a lengthy torture. He slowly moved around the town, trying to figure out what to do next. The Exorcists were all out and about, and mulling like some damned rats.

He noticed a few people coming up from the street to the side and grinned, deciding he had an easy kill. Dashing forward, his sword smashed through the first in the group, completely decapitating him. The two others, shocked, tried to flee, but the giant blade caught them on the second swing and felled them where they stood.

Dinnin grinned. Fighting was fun.

((Someone fight me, please))

[Fect]

The still-forming crowd broke. The two guards didn't move an inch from their ringleader, just swords at the ready.

Vincent turned around, his eyes squinted to the point where they looked closed, then gave a smile and tilted his head. "You Exorcists are even willing to attack them; I'm surprised."

Jacques finally destroyed the remaining stones. A large sword cleft three more of the villagers in half at their stomachs, and Vincent charged in, flapping his wings and turning his lance into a bright white.

He rose off the ground and went straight for the man dispersing the crowd.

The two sat there, intimidating. "Let's go, now!"

Everyone rushed, but... they passed right through them. 'Illusions?'

[Reco]

(Sorry if this is a bit redundant, but all of the messed up time jumps made my brain explode and I had to fix it before it went on.)

The fake innocence was a bright golden by then, but had cracked into 5 different pieces. Suddenly with a loud roar they burst into flames. Kaze immediately dropped them and cursed. The 2 men must have saw the flames. With shouts one of those men raised the alarm, while the other stepped toward Kaze and the group.

"Intruders will be destroyed. Innocence activate," he growled. Kaze was surprised. "He can activate a fake innocence too?"

"It doesn't matter what power he has, he is the enemy and needs to be destroyed" Martosu said.

The mans Innocence activation took the form of a giant ax. He lept at the group, took at broad swing with his ax, aiming to sever someone's head. But in his follow thru, he left his right leg venerable to attack. Martosu activated his Innocence, stabbed straight thru the knee, while the electricity made it explode. The man yelled in pain, swinging his ax wildly.

Enough of this.

Martosu severed his head, stopping the horrible yowling. The other man was dismayed at his comrades death and turned toward Martosu.

"Innoce-"

He wasn't even halfway thru the activation when Martosu pointed his blade at the made and pierced his heart with electricity. The man dropped dead.

Martosu turned to the others "We should get some reinforcements, I'll go contact that green Exorcist."

He got on his golem and spoke"A small warehouse on the east side of town holds a large cache of our rocks. We'll need help carrying them back."(As if Martosu would say this, <.<)

"Stay there, we're coming," Jacques told them.

As if I have anywhere better to go.

Martosu leaned against the wall, waiting.

The three walked inside, and Jacques began the long process of destroying each and every stone. Then, a man walked inside. "Activate."

There he stood, clad in armor with a large shield. He threw it toward the vault, but Angie knocked it up. It stuck in the wall, but then rumbled and flew back to its user. Jacques wasn't more than a third of the way done. "It's the war..." A sword went through the man's neck, rendering him unable to speak.

Jacques told the others, "You all need to leave now. We can't have you all be targeted by the mob."

We do all the work, but to him we are still ants...how pompous of him.

(Lemme just copy paste Fect)

No one moved. 'We're going to have a full-on war.'

Jacques kept destroying the stones one by one. 'What's with these things? They're so many of them.'

Then, several men walked in. One was dressed in a flowing white silk robe, the others with shorter black robes.

He rose off the ground and went straight for the man dispersing the crowd.

The two sat there, intimidating. "Let's go, now!"

Everyone rushed, but... they passed right through them. 'Illusions?'

Elseware.....

After having been ordered out of the warehouse by Pompous, Martosu was attacked by a false Innocence user. Martosu had parried his attack but then the man began hopping from rooftop to rooftop, gusts of wind coming off him.

He surely has lost his mind.

Martosu began to notice the man had a set pattern in his roof hopping and lept to the roof he predicted that the man would at the same time. Martosu landed next to the man, stabbing him in the side. One final gust of wind blew Martosu off the roof as the man died.

The false Innocence was totally controlling that man's head....that's so freaky.

Martosu got up and ran back to the warehouse. After awhile he turned the corner and ran straight into Kaze.

"Oh it's you."

[/I]Seriously, has he cloned himself?[/I]

Then Martosu heard explosions from the INN. He looked around to find an Exorcist that was currently unoccupied, and found Mizaki just having neutralizing an False Innocence user.

"Hey, Mizaki! We need to go back to the INN. Killing these false Innocence users is all good, but I would rather protect someone then just kill for the sake of it."

He started to run back to the INN, hopefully Mizaki was following

(This post .... <.< And I refuse to fight Dinnin, sorry Undy but I don't want to get squashed in two posts.)

[Toukestu Zero]

The next morning the two left the pub and continued their search. They later managed to discover a fake innocence lying at the foot of a hill. But the aura from underground was still lingering.

"Ay, this isn't the one where we detected the aura from," Mikey said after he retreived it.

"Well, think about anywhere that was pretty much underground." Zero responded as he wiped the innocence with a cloth.

Mikey thought for a moment. "Well, that oub was pretty much below ground level."

Zero looked up. "That's it!" He exclaimed.

Then the two quickly returned to the pub to discover the aura coming from a man with pale skin and a painted face. Except he looked more ragged and roudy than Soul. He looked up that the two of them. "Well join me in a game of Blackjack." he said with a evil smile. As the two sat down, the man suddenly spoke, "You can refer to me as BlackHearts. the second brother of the four." Then he dealt the cards. "I dislike fighting, and I admit I'm not very good at it." He took a sip from his glass. " But my power lies in cards. Let's play ten rounds. The loser will be killed." He smiled again. " Very well," Zero said. " Game on."

25 minutes later...
Zero: 0
Mikey: Disqualified for cheating
BlackHearts: 5

"Looks like I'm winning aren't I?" BlackHearts laughed. Then he took another sip from the glass. And after a while, he choked and spulttered. Then he seized up and began to wreck the place uncontrobally. "What have you done!?" He managed to yell at Mikey. "Nothing much," he replied. "Just added a little cyandie to your drink?"

They retreived their third fourth fake innocnce and left the pub.

[Kenken]

((Short post for now))

Town of Jinta

Arriving at the town, Alice moved towards the INN, which was in plain sight. She wanted to have a bath and eat some 'human food' before going to look for Dinnin. She saw many exorcists around, but she resisted the temptation of attacking at the moment.

Entering the INN, she asked for a room with a shower. After getting the key, she went up and took a shower. Then she went downstairs, and took a seat in the dining room. Not long after getting served, 10 akumas bursted through the windows and attacked. Alice simply continued eating, as if nothing were amiss. The akumas then went on attacking, but left her alone. Wise ones..., thought Alice, who finished up eating and left. A group of exorcists came into the dining room, and tried to protect the people.

After getting her things and Bunny, she went out, and started looking for Dinnin.

((At exorcists in Dinning Room: There are 10 akumas, and 5 more in waiting. You must kill them before it's too late, unless you don't mind a few people dying =P
If tehre's none there, you should go there, or again, if you don't mind just ignore it.

You may interact with Alice if you wish, but you don't know she's an akuma. That is all.))

[Toukestu Zero]

The two left the pub again. Or more like they were running away. (They cuased BlackHearts to destroy equipment with a total value of $22. Both could pay up very easily. But being the way they always are, they refused to pay but ran away instead.)

"That was fun, let's do it again another day!" Mikey laughed.

Zero looked at him. " You suck." He told him bluntly.

After screaming and bashing each other up for a few minutes, they had to run again cause the management found them. The result, half the town was playing hide and seek with them. They were found several times, but they always escpaed safely. These were the tatics they used:

Distraction
1. Zero: "Uh...Look! It's a Milo truck!"

"Unexpected Move"
2. Pretend to cry, doesn't help much, but tends to cause hesitation. Just enough time to knock them out.

"Hit And Run!"
3. Pelt them with bubble gum then prepare to run at leat 2 times faster.

The two made it out of town, but they knew they had to return soon cuase there were at least still two more fake innocence users.

"That was fun, let's do it again another day!" Mikey laughed.

Zero looked at him. " You suck." He told him bluntly.

Round 2 begin!

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

Martosu got up and ran back to the warehouse. After awhile he turned the corner and ran straight into Kaze.

"Oh it's you."

"Yea it's me," Kaze said dryly, as he tried to wipe the drying blood off his arms cum swords. Takai followed closely behind, gasping for breath all the while.

"Kaze damn you.... flying off... like that... There's more people trying... to mob us behind me."

Kaze shrugged, and grabbing Takai by the wrist, flew into the air way above the mob and followed Martosu towards the inn.

[Askand]

((I'm still feeling a bit lost guys so I hope I dont mess up this in any case please let me know Thanks))
__________________________________________________ _________________

After knocking the guy out Angie felt a bit guilty about it. By norm she didnt like to attack people but the circumstances were critical. She didnt moved when the mob came in. Apparently the leader began a series of transformations and then he aimed at someone outside the warehouse. With a quick pase she went next to Jacques.

"Dont know what you are going to do but I'm backing you up. I will scare them you just go out and see what's going on" after that Angie activated he Innocence.

Once she was fully transformed she went forward and started to roar aloud making everyone run toward the exit. But then she heard the shouts outside and suddenly she saw a figure killing them in cold blood. She smelled the air and at certain point the smelled of akuma filled her nose. Growling dangerously she began to approach the man until both we looking at each other.

((If this is Dinnin I dont know so I really need help on this one sorry for the short post))

[kensei]

Leroy:

Looking at Angelique transform into something resembling a panther, he was a bit relieved that most of the mob had ran away from her echoing roar. To those brave- no, foolish enough to stay, they tasted the sting of Leroy's bullets in their limbs, preventing them from doing anything annoying.

Leroy then ran to catch up to Angelique and Jackson. Either one of them would need backup, including him.


Ruth:

A large crowd came running towards her way, fleeing from the sight of a few explosions in the warehouse. Each one of them carried those precarious stones, which seemed to take another form- the fake innocences were activated. Fake as they may be, Ruth felt the need to deal with these pitiful creatures.

She didn't move. The ground shook from the mob's footsteps. Ruth only raised her hands as a swarm of red butterflies flew from behind hair, covering the mob with a cloud of these blood-sucking butterflies.

"You people don't deserve these stones. Cowards and easily manipulated- I'll make sure the world gets a favor as they will never hear of your existence ever again."

Let the culling begin..

[Ryuzaki]

Near Ruth

"My, my... Ruth has begun her little fun I see, aheheh..." The people in the streets screamed and ran for their lives, running past me one by one. I walked against the crowd, bumping into many people as they ran past me without even glancing to see my presence. "Heh... run for your lives, humans..." As the last person ran past me, I stook out my arm in front of my face, giving a grin look to my face, I slash a solid form of light straight through ten buildings around me. Soon, every building that I slashed collapsed, sending huge clouds of dust up into the air. The surviving people around me covered their mouths with their arm, while desperately trying to get away from the area.

"What's the rush...eh? You'll all die sooner or later, aheheh..." I sent a beam of light up into a nearby tower, hitting the top of the monument, causing the top half to fall down the streets underneath, crashing down on homes and completely destroyed the area.

Two shadow figures came walking up to me from behind, slowly. I could see the outline of their bodies from the sun's rays hitting my back.

"If you don't have any business, I'd suggest you to turn around and leave... unless... aheheh...!" I said to them, without even turning to see who just they were.

((This is where an Exorcist can fight with me, but beware... >=D))

[kensei]

Ruth:

Good to see Constantine in action, at last..

Ruth chuckled as every person tried to escape from her clutches, running away from the piercing bites of the Ravenous butterflies. Like the sands that surrounded them, they will turn into nothing- the pathetic creatures.

With a snap of her fingers, a group of butterflies transformed into ten-feet walls, adorned by the same patterns as their wings, trapping a good number of the panicking people inside. Ruth smiled as slowly and slowly the victims were pierced inside the walls by spears of blood- the same blood the butterflies had sucked out from them. Inside the Hall of Screams was torture for the unlucky creatures- truly living to its name.

This town, does not deserve to exist.

[Nightvision]

Mizaki quickly ran out of the warehouse as he heard the big crashing noise on the outside. He didn't know what happen, just only that everything was becoming more chaotic when the alarm went off.

As Mizaki approached the door of the warehouse he turned to a familiar face.

"Noah!"

He was looking directly at Ruth.

"You never introduced yourself, Miss."

He activated his level 1 innocence and kept it low, making it obvious that he was not going to attack directly.

[Fect]

Outside the Warehouse

The akuma and Vincent stood toe to toe. Then, the swarm of butterflies flew past the exorcists and the duel and left gray bodies where they had gone. The mob of people was no more. The small girl's dead body was there, limp.

'I've seen these before...'

A small alleyway between several homes gave him an easy exit. A piece of a building then fell, and the small toy rifle was under the rubble. Rounding the building corner, the two Noah, Ruth and Constantine, stood, smiling at the death of the mob and the other people.

Keeping his distance, he ran across the street. 'It's about time we show them our new trick...'

[Ryuzaki]

Near the Warehouse with Ruth

"Ruth! Shouldn't we get going to meet up with Gabriel? He left this crappy village not to long ago and now only Nero and Leiko are here." Which I don't now where they are at the moment...

The buildings around us continued to fall, Ruth seemed to enjoy this moment quite a lot as she stood there, in the middle of the chaos in this village.

"Heh, you seem to be enjoying yourself Ruth..." I put out my hand towards the three shadowy figures near us, and decimated them with radiation, as they all fell down, dead.

"That was pretty fast, wasn't it Conny?" Ruth said while tormenting more civilians.

Conny...!? "Yeah, I guess you are right, aheh..." As I looked at Ruth, I felt a more powerful presence near me, this foe was actually worth fighting, but how long would he or she last while in the direct sun...?

[Fect]

Behind Constantine and Across from the Warehouse

"You're going to use your reason this time?"

'That's right.'

The small orb on his hand glowed white as well. The insignia around it remained the same. Hiding on the porch, Jacques murmured, "Greve D'Ame de Saint."

The bolts were a glittering white. Clasping his hands together, he said another peculiar thing: "Raison de l'homme."

"You haven't perfected it, so don't rely on it too much.

'It's the perfect time to test it out. I'm limited to one hand to attack with, but the other holds a surprise.'

[Ryuzaki]

Near Ruth and Jacques

"Is that... Jacques... the Frenchman..." Acting shocked to see him here, in the same ruined village. "Ayyee.. so what brings you here...? You're not on friendly terms this time, are you...?"

The white light lit up in his hands as I turned to him, sitting on a nearby porch. "I see, I see. You're name is not even on my card, so you can run a long now and catch up with your other Exorcist friends or... Vincent, maybe? He is your objective this time, am I right...?"


((You can make the first move Fect, I didn't want to RP as Jacques.))

[Fect]

With Constantine

((Thanks Ryu.))

The bolts zoomed around Jacques. "Well, I'm here more interested to test myself. Vincent is occupied, and I'm sure the others will have no trouble with him."

He tilted his head. "Shall we play?"

The bolts stopped, almost to conserve their energy, then flew forward at Constantine.

"He may be a part of your side, but he has his own interests too," Jacques smiled. His other hand reached out towards Constantine.

((I'm getting a bit cocky, so it's time for a smackdown. Sadly, it won't be as bad as you hope Ryu.))

[Ryuzaki]

((Here come the almighty Lord Constantine counter =P))

Catching up to me with great speed, Jacques grabbed my throat with his left arm, the other with a huge amount of white bolts in the palm of his hands.

As Jacques quickly ran a jab into my stomach with the white bolts, the electricity jolted around my body, sending shockwaves throughout my nerves.

As fumes of smoke came out of my mouth I looked into Jacques eyes, who was grinning from his first attack.

Smoke continued to flow out of my mouth and clothes. As Jacques held me in his grasps still, light slowly emerged from my body, until it fully engulfed my body and disintegrated. Jacques looked confused to find that I had fully disappeared into nothing, only light filled his arm.

"That my friend... was a light clone... aheheh...!" Jacques turned only to meet a kick to the face, sending him crashing through the nearby sand buildings.

"Come on Jacques, I thought you would be better than this... sheesh... do I have to show you how it's done, again?" The cloud of smoke continued to rise into the sky from the impact. "I think your move went something like this, did it not?" Placing my hands to my side, sparks of light formed into my hands, and soon two solid swords were in my grasps. One an average straight sword, while the other a large wide sword, capable of turning a house into mere nothingness.

"It's not as fancy as yours, but these will do... aheheh...!"


((Meh, we'll leave out health stats if you want, if you want them though then you'll take 12 Damage. =P))

[Fect]

In Battle with Constantine

((No stats, kthx. I'm planning on heroicly making a retreat, but not quite yet. I'll be slightly bloodied though.))

'Gotcha.'

Two more bolts appeared from his hands as he got up, a small stream of blood coming from his forehead. Flying towards Constantine, they hit his swords, which seemed to merely absorb the bolts. They grew slightly larger in size.

"Is that all you have Jacques?"

As Constantine rushed in for the kill, Jacques held his hand with the white-clear orb in the air, making his fingers into the position to snap. Putting his other hand in the shape of a fist, it charged with a holy element instead. The swords swung down, and Jacques snapped his fingers. The blades broke, missing Jacques as he hit Constantine backwards with his other fist.

"Is that all you have, Constantine?" Jacques jeered.

The body disappeared into another flash of light. 'Another clone, tsk.'

[Ryuzaki]

In Battle with Jacques

"First rule of combat... know where your enemy is... or was that the fourth rule?" Jacques peered over across the street where I was standing against a pole. Walking towards him I snapped my figure, the ground glowed around us and dozens of light clones came forming from the light.

"Now, let's see how your melee skills can do against this many opponents... heh..." The clones dashed at Jacques as he formed white jolts of light in both palms, sending numerous waves of electricity, hitting almost all of the light clones.

"Not bad..." I grinned at Jacques while forming highly radiation light around my arms and legs. Jacques using minimal movement was able to dispense of all the clones except three. Forming more light into the remaining few, they became more solid and sturdy. "Round three... Jacques?"

[Fect]

With Constantine on the Main Street

"Well, I was hoping to save this; it's still only an idea though, one done with reason."

Jacques saw as more and more energy piled into the clones. 'Seems I finally found the puppetmaster.'

His left arm, the one with the white-clear orb, began pulsating. Jacques flinched a little. 'That hurts like hell... But I'll have to double it.'

"Well, you'll have to come out in round four yourself then."

"We'll see if you make it that far."

One began forming a condensed light over its head. The ones to either side of it formed the same pair of swords. "You'll never get me with those. They're far too unwieldy and easy to see."

As they rushed, Jacques' other orb changed to the same color. "I can't sustain this for long. Hope you enjoy the light show."

The middle clone fired before the other two got in range. Using his middle and pointer finger, his own hand pierced the light, and it spread into 4 separate beams, all missing Jacques. Hitting one of the other clones with his free hand, it flew backwards. The beam wouldn't stop, and Jacques was pierced by the smaller sword by the third clone.

"Seems these pawns are done."

Both of the sword wielders cracked like glass and broke into thousands of pieces. Jacques rushed at the long-range clone, and hit it square in the chest. It flew backwards, and while in mid-air, dispersed like the others.

Jacques slowly changed his right hand back. "Anymore and that could've strained your soul."

Coughing up a small amount of blood, and spitting it onto the ground, he said, "And now, it's round four, monsieur."

[Kenken]

going to the warehouse and arriving there.

According to the akuma, Dinnin was near a warehouse, so Alice started to walk in that direction. Due to the chaos the town have emerged to, she had no trouble going around, even with her tachi visible. Still, she kept Bunny sealed for Bunny was sure to bring attention to themselves. You don't happen to see a black giant bunny holding a Scythe and a girl sitting on its head everyday... Alice thought.

Turning to the right, she followed a few akuma who were ahead of her, but they were so slow that Alice lost her patience. "Die..." Drawing her tachi, she cut both of them, killing them. Then jumped to the roof and looked for the warehouse from there. It didn't took long for this to pay off, though.

Alice couldn't tell what exactly was going on, but it seemed people were running out of the ware house, with a big figure cutting those unlucky ones who came too close to him. There seemed to be 2 other figures in there, but Alice could not tell what they were doing.

"The one cutting down the people must be Dinnin, I believe," said Alice, jumping off the roof and moving towards the group. "Damn the Earl for not giving me a good description."

Getting closer, Alice simply said, getting the attention of the 2 figures, who she identified as exorcists, one of them looking like a big, humanoid panther.

"Really, lots of blood here."

((Angelique and Leroy don't know Alice is a exorcist or akuma, but you can ask her questions... although atatcking Dinnin would be more important, me thinks =)

don't worry I"ll attack you soon enough xD

If anything is wrong pls tell me and i'll edit))

[Ryuzaki]

Battling with Jacques at the Streets

"Round four eh? Well, I'd be quite disappointed if you couldn't even beat those weak light clones of mine." Putting out my right hand parallel to my shoulders to the side I formed a large double sided axe, atleast six feet long.

"I haven't used this type of weapon in a while but I'm sure my skills haven't rusted too much over these long years, aheheh..." Swinging the large axe over my head I sent sharp thin rays of light towards Jacques at low amount of numbers so he could atleast dodge them.

Jacques easily avoided each one carefully, watching every needle of gamma ray that headed towards him. Unhurt by the small assault I decided to test his abilities even further.

"Let's see if you can dodge this, "monsieur"..." With the vast amount of light in this desert, large spears of gamma radiation formed all around Jacques in all direction, in a perfect sphere almost. With the wave of my hand the hundreds of spears raced towards Jacques as his eyes widened, trying to find a way to take a least damage as possible.

[kensei]

Near the Jacques and Constantine fight

As the Hall of Screams disintegrated back into red butterflies, Ruth turned to see the commotion near her.

Constantine is having fun with someone, how nice for him..

Ruth's eyes squinted at the enemy's face, and it seemed quite familiar, but Ruth couldn't put her finger into it- so to speak.

"Ah well," she waved her hand, dismissing the fight as Constantine's happy time as she commanded more butterflies to scavenge the ruins of houses and to leave no corpse to waste. "After all," her eyes shone, "It would be such a waste of precious blood."

Leroy:

Leroy turned to see a little girl, and was surprised to what she was doing near the vicinity. She didn't seem to hold one of those strange rocks, as she turned her head side to side, appearing a bit lost.

Can I trust her?

"Oi, little girl, get out of here. It's dangerous!" Leroy called out, as he tried to shoot enemies away from her.

Children. What a bother..

[Midare]

((sigh..... is like I love to get in trouble))

She can felt it away from her.

"So that boke Conny is fighting already... tch, he's getting all the fun"

Leiko had left the other Noah a long ago not caring about them on the slightlest. She knew that in this town ther would be some fake innocence users and even if they weren't real exorcists she didn't care, she just wanted to spare some time and if she could do that killing, it would be much better.

She didn't minded at all, the town has no one else around, so she was wandering off the streets on her dark form, wanting to attract the attention of someone who would be stupid enough to fight against her.

She she stopped in front of an old warehouse and looked at it. "So here is where that Conny were."
When she started to walk again, she could feel how her wrists were grabbed by something cold, making her to spread her arms. In front of her, a young man appeared.

"Who are you?" asked the young man who was pointing at her a sword. Leiko stayed silent, looking at the ground.

"I don't know who is she... but one thing is certain, she's not human" She knew that there were other two men at her sides, holding her with chains.

"Then... and akuma?" said the man in front of her.

"Akuma... me?" Leiko said softly, still looking at the ground and grinning. "You have no idea how mistaken you are, kozo" she looked up, straight to the man.

"D-don't move... you monster, we're exorcist, innocence users"

"Innocence users, huh?. I can feel it, you're fake... nothing but trash" Her smile grew wider.

The men at her side pulled of the chains, spreading her arms even more, but the man in front of her started to shake, looking at Leiko's expression.

"I told you not to move!!" He charged at her poiting his sword.

"Niou" With this simple word, the palms of Leiko's hands opened and two black widows dropped to the ground and the next second, something hitted the man attacking her, blowing him against the door of the warehouse, some feet away from her.

She could tell by the shaking of the chains holding her by her wrist that the other two men were scared.

"So amusing" she whispered.

When the man who has been blown into the warehouse's door was able to look at Leiko again, she was terrified for what he was seeing. Two giant black widows were standing in front of Leiko, protecting her.

"Fudo Myouou" She said, and in her hands, some black matter took the form of two kodachi swords and just moving her hand in a circle, she cut the chains that were holding here, making the men at her side to fall on the ground.

All the three men were in shock, almost petrified, beside the fact that they were shaking out of fear. Leiko just stood there while them, using all their energy, got o their feet and attempted to run away from her.

"Niou, don't let them scape".

Before they could notice, the two giant spiders were bloking the way of those who were holding the chains before while, at the same time, Leiko got in front of the one with the sword.

"So.... how should I kill you now?" Leiko asked herself out loud.

"P-p-plase... spare my life!"

"Hoo... first you attack me and plus, you take me for a lowly akuma and now you're begging for your life?... that's quiet unfair don't you think?..." The fake exorcit stayed silent and shaking, not knowing what to say. "...well, since you're using an sword, I'll fight you with this so... come and fight for your life". The man was on shock, but when he saw that Leiko wasn't taking an offensive stance with her swords, she was just standing there with her arms at her sides, he held his sword and charged at her once again and tried to attack her over and over again seeing that she left some openings, but each time he tried to attack that point, Leiko would block that attack.
Then he jumped back, so he will run again to try to deal a hit this time, but suddenly, she vanished from his sight and he stopped.

He heard as Leiko was sighing at his back. "Tch... fighting someone who's not even an innocence user is more boring than I've thought". The man turned back and charged at her again, not listening to what she was saying. With a quick movement, Leiko was once again at the back of the fake exrocist, and she whped the kodachi in her right hand, wiping the blond in there. In the shadows, it could be seen how the upper half of the man dropped to the ground.

Then she turned back to see the other two men how were no longer shaking, they were completly petrified.

"I have the feeling that fighting the two of you will be even more boring that fightin that one so..."

She paused.

"... Niou... here's your dinner"

Leiko turned back and looked at the warehouse while on the background she could hear the desparate screams of the other two men while the giant spiders were devouring them alive.

"I hope that that guy Vincent is stronger, so I can finally have a amusing fight".

((Did I made myself clear? if someone else dares to touch Vincent, you'll feel my wrath *jk*... but really... he's mine :p))

[Reco]

Next to the INN

As Martosu arrived at the INN, bodies where littering the ground with the Akuma floating above them. When the poison finally over took their bodies, the dust blended into the sand. The Akumas turned towards Martosu and began firing their guns.

Martosu jumped on to the roof of the building next to him, activated his Innocense and lept at the Akuma closest to him, cutting upwards in a diagonal slash. The resulting explosion pushed him farther into the air and he landed on top of another Akuma. He planted a electriciy bomb inside one of the guns, hopping off when the Akuma exploded.

Once Martosu was on the ground, glass shadered everywhere when a Akuma went thru a window of the INN. He shealed his eyes from the glass raining down, let out electricity at the Akuma, killing it. He swung his blades in an arch, releasing a cresent of energy, resulting in the deaths of two more Akuma.

He looked around, spotted at least five more Akuma as well as Takai with Kaze. But no Mizaki..

"Can you two kill the rest, something is wrong back at the warehouse so we should be getting back."

[Kenken]

(( hope you don't mind RPing Leroy a bit.))

Near the Jacques and Constantine fight

As Alice walked towards Dinnin, who was now starting kill the last few people, she saw one of the exorcists firing in her direction. But he wasn't firing at her. Instead, he was 'saving' her from the akuma around her. How cute, he must think I'm just an innocent girl walking around. Alice thought, starting to walk to where this man was.

"You know, akumas are hard to make, you shouldn't kill then so." Alice told him the exorcist, who stopped firing and looked at her with a puzzled look.

"What do you mean...?"

Holding her tachi, Alice added, "And little girl? you couldn't be more mistaken, exorcist." Just as the exorcist pointed his gun at her, Alice gave the tachi to Bunny, who grew in size, as well as the tachi which changed into a scythe. Then Bunny (with Alice on his head) side-stepped, and rushed the exorcist, swinging the giant scythe around, aiming to cut the exorcist in half.

(( if we're fighting with health, then damage given is 10 :)))

[kensei]

Ruth:

"P-please....d-don't..."

For some reason the shaking woman's ring turned her thin arms into silver blades, tainted by droplets of blood- not from the ruthless woman standing before her, but her own. Her frail body shook endlessly, as she cried her hear out.

"Please don't!! I have six children!!" she cried, her voice beginning to strain.

Ruth only watched her- the same vendor from where she bought her bracelets and found the fake Innocence. Nothing from her face showed signs of emotion, it was if you were looking at a statue. Her lips did not move, as she lightly slashed the woman again, more drops staining her strange innocence blade.

"Your six children are dead," Ruth scolded coldly, "You should be worrying about your own life."

The jewelery vendor only weeped as she was coughing blood. Staring at the woman above her, and at the strange abomination the ring had turned her hands into, she could not understand why this was happening. "W-why?!..."

Ruth then crouched down as she whispered into the trembling woman's ear. "Don't you know that things like rings don't give you happiness?"

The woman's breathing was laboured, her breaths slowly becoming less and less. She could not take her eyes of Ruth's cold stare, she could not even move a muscle.

"Don't worry, I will show you true happiness," Ruth continued, as she placed her hand above the vendor's eyes. "You will not find happiness here in this desolate desert town, nor the colorful rocks in your ring."

With a swift push, Ruth's blade pierced through the woman's abdomen, her eyes still covered by Ruth's fingers.

"Where you will go will be so much happier than here. You will meet your six children in a much better place than this wasteland."

Ruth slowly stood up, as she carefully pulled her blade from the woman's body, falling softly to the ground. Turning around to see Constantine's fight, she put away her blade as it turned back to more of the blood-sucking butterflies, who then covered the woman's corpse.

"You are lucky you died by my blade. Your death was a painless one, be proud."

[Toukestu Zero]

That night, the two were forced to camp in the freezing desert. Mikey didn't like it one bit. He kept grumbling the whole night so no one slept in the end. Zero got into a rather foul mood, (He gets into a bad mood when he is awake ealrier than he wants to. For example, waking him up in the middle of the night.) Decideding not to comment about it, Mikey followed Zero back into the town carefully.

"Oy, sense anything?" Zero asked impateintly.

"Yeah, the aura from the wine cellar in the damn pub is really strong."

"...Why does everyone go to that pub?"

"Best in town?"

" Nah, can't be. Sucks a lot to me."

But the two scouted the area before sneaking to the pub window. They noticed that there were a big number of movers. Ah, new tables. Zero thought to himself. So the two dressed as movers and walked in. They picked up a table and pretended to shift it about.

After work was done, the two went to their room and Zero summoned his tuxedo. After recovering a bit of life. They decided to take a rest. In fact, they suspected that the innocnce user would attack when they were asleep. So Zero stayed on guard while Mikey caught up on his sleep.

They were wrong. The aura still lingered in the cellar and did not dissepear.
Zero
Health Gained (Sleep): 3
Health Gained (Tuxedo): 2
Remaining Health: 27 + 2 + 3 = 32


Mikey
Health Gained: 4
Remaining Health: 22 + 4 =26

[kensei]

Leroy:

((not fighting stats lol))

Leroy leaped back as he clutched his wound, at the same time shooting endlessly at the 'little girl'.

"An Akuma, right?" Leroy asked with an unfriendly expression on his face, unsatisfied by his careless mistake.

"No answer?"

Leroy did not wait for any chances for her to attack, as he shot four shots above, sending a portion of the room crashing down above the girl. He then shouted at Angelique, signalling her to run as the warehouse would not last long.

Also, he did not intend to fight the girl. Just a bother with her bad timing.

[Kenken]

Alice quickly dropped down from Bunny's head, taking cover behind him. Then as she peak out she saw the exorcist shoot above him, making a room to fall down. Akice got inside Bunny, as he swung the scythe, cutting the room and making pieces fall around him. Then Alice, through Bunny's eyes, looked around. The exorcists has fled.

Getting out and taking the scythe, which changed back to the form of a tachi, Alice moved towards Dinnin, who kept attcking and killing people. She made Bunny follow her, still in big size just in case.

As she walked she found a young man, almost dead, crawling towards the town.

"I...don't... want to die...I'm...going to be...married," he said, Alice looked at him with amusement. "I thought... I'd be able...to love you...Kao..."

Alice didn't let him finished as she stuck her sword on his neck, killing him. Then she walked towards Dinnin, who just finished his masacre.

"Dinnin-san... shall we get moving?" She asked, extending her hand.

[Fect]

With Constantine

'11...14...16. 8 Down originally, 8 left. And this has to be weak somewhere.'

"Playing Schroedinger's Cat? I'd be more than happy to oblige."

Forming small needles in each of his hands and a rod, he threw them upward as the spears moved through, then spread them to scatter the light. The small "rain" of radiation struck him a few more times. The other spears closed in from the sides, and Jacques stuck the rod onto the sphere. It slowly sank, the sphere giving way to the rod, but the spears had already done their worst.

Burns covered his back and the back of his arms and legs, from the scattered light above him.

'Let's just get prepared for when it vanishes. Or his next attack.'

The sphere had a larger hole now, the rod going through, down into the sand.

((So Dinnin just killed Vincent then? o.o))

[Ryuzaki]

((I don't know think so. Did I miss something though? lol))


Battle with Jacques in the Streets

The small dose of radiation heat fell upon Jacques as he covered his head trying to avoid getting damage there. As the rain of radiation fell, the ground beneath Jacques looked as if trickles of water was hitting the surface.

"Tch, I'm not even trying against you Exorcist, but you still risk your life just to prove something to me, aheheh..." The rain of radiation ceased and Jacques uncovered his face, starring at me. "I know you're hiding some techniques to surprise me... how can I not tell, aheh.." He looked shocked to hear that I knew he was hiding his power. "But... I've only been using at most ten percent of my strength... including techniques. Tell me... have you ever seen..." The air around the whole village started to light up, billions of light particles formed in the air, all of them visible, the temperature increasing every second. "... this technique?"

The light around Jacques brightened even more. He tried to swat away the light even with his own electricity, but was easily absorbed. In an instant Jacques felt a sharp pain go through both of his legs. Gamma radiation poured into his lower body, burning his muscles, bones and cells causing him to collapse to the ground.

"I didn't go for your vital areas, so you won't die, just feel a lot of pain, aheheh..." Jacques looked up at me from the ground, trying to ignore the pain in both of his legs. "Sheesh, don't be so mad...! I didn't go for your chest or head, you should feel grateful, especially fighting me, some of the others don't show as much mercy to the enemy." Sweat dripped down Jacques nose as both knees were still on the ground. A extremely bright flash of light lit up in front off his eyes causing him to be temporarily blind. As he rubbed his eyes with his palms trying to desperately see again, I quickly came in front of him, side kicking him in the back of the head and sent him flying towards nearby buildings once again.

"Don't feel too safe now, Jacques... these deadly particles of light are still in the air around you, ready to attack at any given moment..." I started to laugh to myself a little as the dust from the impact slowly faded away into the sky above.

[Fect]

The Conclusion

"Vampires would hate you," Jacques mocked Constantine.

"Jacques, it's too early for you to be fighting this one. You'll surpass him eventually, but live until then."

"Light of a half wavelength cancels normal light. And any medium can bend it. I'll be taking my leave," Jacques bowed as the sweat dripped off his forehead. The air around him, originally still, thrust outward in every direction. Constantine hid his face. Jacques had vanished, but a piece of paper fluttered down to him: "Till next time."

'Is there anything that can prevent use of the elements? Rather than disrupting once they're in effect?'

"We'll teach you other things first."

'Like?'

"Gravity Manipulation. You need to master that before you can use it."

'We'll handle it later.'

Jacques wandered through the alleys and headed out of town.
----------------------------
Vincent

"How dare you kill them, you murderous hounds? The Earl told me you'd leave them alone so long as I was here."

He charged with his Lance at the large black-clad armored man. It hit him and impaled him through the chest. Vincent dropped the small black and white box he was carrying, while attempting to stab the akuma several times.

((Well, Vincent's alive and ready to kick some akuma around. Someone needs to grab the box.))

[Nightvision]

Mizaki quickly went for the box as he finally arrived in their battle. He jumped forward and made a roll. He gave a glance at Vincent with his innocence still activated.

To him right now the mission comes first.

He could buy me some time to reach a place further then the battlefield.

Mizaki quickly dashed away full speed, while holding the box with one of his hand and activating the innocence on the other. He ran back towards in the warehouse and hid behind a wall.

((Edit - Finished. Misread Reco's post earlier.))

[Ryuzaki]

((Lord Constantine wouldn't kill Vincent, but I'll do something still.))


Near Vincent


"Soka... Jacques..." I saw the letter flutter in the air and saw the words that were written on it. "You think you Exorcists are the only ones who can evolve to gain more power, but you are wrong my friend, very wrong, aheheh!" I sunk into the ground with the gamma rays around me leaving nothing except the devastation to the village where we fought.

I think it's about time to check on this Vincent person, hopefully he's still at that building...tch...

Traveling through the ground, I surfaced inside the same building where Vincent was supposedly at. Rumbling noise came from the floor above, so I was curious enough to see just what was going on up there. As I walked up the stairs to the second floor, the noise grew louder until I could see the Level 1 and 2 Akumas attacking the man who I've been searching for, Vincent.

He was impaling them quite easily with his lance that he had, I figured it was his fake Innocence weapon, but still, this man needed to be alive for the Earl's plan to be successful.

"Oi, Akuma... if you value your souls I'd recommend you scum to leave immediately... the Earl wouldn't be very pleased to hear that you are attacking his... client..." The Akuma looked in fear at me, I was very serious about what I said. They quickly blew up the nearby wall and flew off into the distance.

"Come... and hurry..." I walked down the stairs trying to get Vincent to follow me.

As I walked out of the building, I waited for Vincent to follow. Finally walking out of the door near where I was, he didn't make eye contact with me but instead acted as if I wasn't there.

"The plan is almost complete... soon... the Middle East will fall into the Earl's hands just as he planned it."

"O... well, that's good... the Earl will be pleased to hear this..." I tipped my hat off to him. "Well, I just wanted to check on the progress, so I'll be leaving now, aheheh..." Sinking into the ground, my whole body was almost completely submerged when a familiar voice echoed through the streets, screaming Vincent's name.


((An Exorcist or anyone can join now.))

[Askand]

Angie felt confused with the situation. Out of the blue she was left alone and with no one to fight or join. She tried to look for Jac thru the scents on the air but the mix of blood, death and akuma was making hard the search. She began sniffing the ground until she got a faint scent of Jacques. Following the scent she traveled thru the streets until she managed to spot two people on the distance. She heard the noise it was like a conversation between them.

"The plan is almost complete... soon... the Middle East will fall into the Earl's hands just as he planned it."

"O... well, that's good... the Earl will be pleased to hear this..."

(A plan? They are working for the Earl? I need to do let the others know) thought Angie.

In that moment she heard a voice calling Vincent out loud. But the time to concealed herself was not now. Hoping for the best she roared as aloud aming the buildings near her tremble a bit. Then focusing on the man that remain on the street she began to walk while addressing him with a cold tone.

"So you are working with the Earl now? Apparently you dont value your life too much. RAWR!!!!!" another roar came out this time even louder than the one before.

Angie stood on attack mode while she awaited her opponents move. She only hoped the others will arrive in time to help her out.

((Meh need some help if you guys can)) :)

Leroy:

"Angelique, over here!" waved Leroy, who was on top of a nearby building, shooting at any Akuma that came too close. Leroy then stopped as he found Angelique confronting a peculiar looking man, hearing the name "Vincent" somewhere along the conversation.

This 'Vincent' started to charge at Angelique with a lance. Leroy grabbed some bullets and started to shoot as fast as he can, giving the roaring Angelique backup. The good thing about being a sharpshooter was the added range, as well as safety from those who are stuck fighting melee.

A bullet scraped Vincent's cheek.

Ruth:

No fun Constantine...leaving me alone like this..

Ruth, with a puzzled looks, seemed to have lost her brother. For almost half an hour she had been walking along the burning streets of the ruined village. She had killed many during her fun, but now walking along the empty houses she started to feel a little lonely.

She then heard a peculiar roar nearby as she turned her head to the left. Some boy was walking away from that direction with a box in hand and one of those fake innocence's in the other.

Ruth stopped.

No wait. That is not fake.

A smile crept on her face.

__________________________________________________ _______________

Angei saw how the man instantly began direct his lance at her and tried to charge her. Hearing a voice from above calling her name she managed to give a quick look to find another fellow exorcist on the roof. The sounds of shoots were heard and still "Vincent" still charges against her. On the last bullet Angelique saw cutting the man's cheek giving away a line of blood. The scent filled Angie's nose with a sweet scent making her animal side lust with need to kill.
With a wide jump she managed to dodge the first charge successfully.

"A daughter of evil is here, I shall cure you with this holy item my dear and set you free." said Vincent when Angie once again stood in front of him.
"And I will set you free before you even can move that stick of yours.ROAR!!!!" said Angie before being her the one who charged against Vincent.

((I will leave my intervention here, got to sleep see ya later people))

On the Street with Angie and Vincent


Did she... just turn into a large cat? Heh... Exorcists...

Here claws were about to reach Vincent's throat when he twirled his Lance around causing a fierce wind to blow towards her, slowing her down and swinging upward hitting her stomach sending her in the air. Crashing down on the ground, she landed on both hands and feet as she slid back, knocking into a few wooden barrels.

"So cats do land on all fours... heheh..."

Angie, running on all fours towards Vincent, slashed at his with both hands as he carefully dodged each blow one by one. She threw several kicks and punches at Vincent, who was unable to counter back with his large Lance. Connecting with his chin, he kneeled down on one leg as Angie kicked him as hard as she could to his face, sending his crashing with his Lance against the nearby building.

"My, my... looks like I'll have to get my hands dirty again after all if this cat Exorcist keeps on getting the best of Vincent."

Angie carefully walked towards the building where Vincent crashed as she was stopped by a wall of harmless solid light.

"Don't you be forgetting about me here, that wouldn't be very lady like..." I said to her as I shook my index finger as if she was doing something wrong.
