Valor

[Kazuya Hikari]

Alex chuckled softly. Asiv, his boss? Not in this lifetime. The only person he even remotely considered his superior, was Emily. Alex didn't take the bait. He wasn't about to rush in headlong into a situation that he had absolutely no idea what could possibly happen. The man could taunt all he wanted, Alex wasn't that brash enough to try and take it from him. "I'm afraid so." Alex replied, as his gaze flickered over to the guy, who had turned to look behind him, as Alex finally got a good look at his face. What he saw did not frighten him, more like it disgusted him. It was enough to make an normal person scream and run away in terror. But Alex was not a normal person. He had witnessed more violence and bloodshed than any normal high school could even imagine. The guy's face compared to that, was nothing, at least to Alex. Unfazed by what he saw, even the sick, lipless grin that appeared on his face or the baby located inside the cylinder by his side, as it stared and waved slightly, did not exact a reaction from Alex.

All it really did was further disgust him. Kevala on the other hand, not so much. It invoked a reaction alright. A big one to be exact. He saw her eyes flash crimson, much like his did when he used his Qi, only his turned red instead, as he saw her shift closer to him, as he held his arm out in front of her, his body hiding her from view, almost like he was her bodyguard, though he saw her gaze stay unwavering from the guy, or Arthur, as he found out. He continued to stay in front of Kevala even as she started shouting at Arthur, followed by a growl. Alex however, was not focused on that now. He was focusing back on the group of men in front of them. This was not the time to let emotions get in the way. "... Just try and destroy us... if you can." Alex said simply, as he shifted his other arm in front of him, easing himself into a boxer stance. Something was going to happen, and Alex had a feeling it wasn't going to turn out well.

[Zack Asiv]

"We'll see."

The guy chuckled as he put the orb in a pouch strapped to his side. Taking a breath he picked who to take down first, wondering at which point to strike... Oh theres a good one.

Raising his right hand energy seemed to be obsorbed into the palm, before you knew it a large blast of energy sproted from his right shoulder like a rocket pushing him forward, jumping at the group to add even more speed he would throw that right fist at Alex first, the concussion from the punch would be enough to knock normal people off their feet, similer to the concussion of a grenade going off, it could be felt through one entire body.

"By the way. I'm the Burst Dragon."

Smoke would have been thrown up should the attack hit or miss. But it would be a good amount of dust.

[Arthur Ð]

Arthurs interest was piqued further by the announcement that the red jewel holder was a dragon, but well, if the Dragon was gonna go for the unknown, then Arthur will stick to the familiar. Skipping back a step, before bursting forward himself, Arthur would move to grab Kevalas neck, or at the very least, push her off to the other side. All the while, he would whisper in a soft once he got near the woman.

"If. It. Has. No. Soul. How. Does. It. Move.?" Arthur asked.

[Kevala Badoer]

Was she missing something? Here they were, in the middle of a fight with a guy who was a Dragon, one who could easily wipe the floor with them, and Arthur was attacking her. Seriously.

She saw him coming, having been expecting this even if it did seem a bit childish in her mind. And instantly she would activate her own Qi, letting one clone appear just before her. That way his hand would find her throat instead of the Kev's.

"Because you are a sick, twisted fucker with no life!"

Kev would then let him do as he pleased to clone one, while clone two would appear behind this so called "Burst Dragon" her fist slamming into the back of his head, just about the area where the skull connected with the neck. The original having already moved, would slam her fist into his jaw. Before both, in perfect time would deliver a solid kick to him. One to his back the other to his gut.

As for clone one, she would slam her fist into Arthur's face, before trying to jerk free of his grip. Honestly. How the hell did she end up in these situations?

[Kazuya Hikari]

The Burst Dragon huh? He could be "The Ultimate Dragon" for all Alex cared, it didn't make a spec of difference to him. Watching the man place the orb into a pouch strapped to his side, Alex was prepared for the man's attack a long time ago, even as the man took off like a damn rocket after raising his right hand as what looked to be energy was absorbed into his palm, tossing his right fist as Alex after jumping, to give him a bigger boost of speed. Tilting his head in the direction of the punch, Alex timed it with the blow of the punch, feeling the concussion of the punch glance solidly against his chin, sending him sliding backwards a bit. He felt worse. Smoke and dust was thrown up and around Alex, his black overcoat billowing around him from the wind. He was unable to see what was happening around him, including the fact that Arthur had attacked not the man, but Kevala... well, more like a clone of her. He heard her voice shoot out through the swirling dust, she seemed to be distracted at the moment.

Although Alex was unable to see the man, in turn, the man would be unable to see Alex. His dark glasses protecting his eyes against the dust, though not by much, Alex would slip away quietly into the dust, stepping backwards and effectively disappearing from view. It would be hard to determine where exactly Alex had moved to, as the dust slowly began to settle down. The moment that happened, the dust swirled slightly, as a lone figure stepped out through the smoke, right behind the man, as a surprise briefly. Before the man could even react, the figure darted straight at him. With the two clones of Kevala momentarily distracting the man, it gave Alex enough of an opportunity to aim a blow at the back of the man's head, at the base of his neck. But he wasn't going to stop there. Alex activated his Qi, engulfing both his arms in flames. Extending his index and middle finger, while the two Kevala's kept the man distracted, Kazuya would go in for the strike, aiming for the base of the back of the man's neck, while trying to burn him in the process.

He kept quiet amongst the perilous bilge of sand consuming the narrow space training his eyes against the dust remaining still for but a second as the theatrics continued. It was quite a plot that'd ended up this far, inevitably leading two (now three) of the fighters to battle amongst each other now he was left with simply the one. Child's play. He grinned darkly nearly revealing his position with a bit of laughter as he recognized the heat not appearing off of his boosters from behind him.

-DODGE!-

Not quite to the appeal needed but his hand shot out again absorbing a sudden burst of heat from the area and firing his booster right into the face of his would be attacker.

*BANG!*

The sudden burst would project his body effortlessly into the two other fighters where against his better judgment engaged in his own scene of battle. A locked kick towards the zombie and a dowan ward thrusted fist to the face of the small girl (the one not under attack atm).

Following through with the sudden movement of course he'd not be finished taking to the ceiling where his boots would click projecting him once more like a bullet at the initial warrior. To think they could measure up this well was a parlor joke. The rebounded attack would be forward into a solid concussive blast.

"HAHA, petty mongrels."

[Arthur Ð]

Arthur would jerk his head to the side, the clones fist grazing past his cheek. At the same time he would release her, taking a step back to the side, preparing to engage in a different tactic. At the same time he would feel a fast moving fist past by him, now going straight at the clone solely since he moved out of the way.

Arthur growled as he hopped back a bit further. Removing his weights he would speak. "Burst. Dragon. I. Hold. No. Ill. To. You. And. Yours. Do. Not. Strike. Me. Or. I. Will. Strike. Back." Arthur would growl, as he felt his body become a lot lighter, the weights no longer holding him down. Arthur would turn to face the pair of Kevalas that were together, once again focusing his attacks on the damnable woman. He was starting to re-evaluate his investment in her, it was afterall, rather troublesome to try and get her to be cooperative.

Arthur would run forward, trying to shorten the distance between the two before he extended his right fist. A shockwave erupting from his fist and arcing out at the two before Arthur would back off from all combatants to allow him defensive room.

[Kevala Badoer]

( ooc: Since it was brought to my attention that I may have made an error in this post I am simply modifying it to repair said error. Sorry for any inconvenience and what not...yadda yadda yadda...)

During the struggle, the clones and and Kevala would once more regain their footing, each one moving then as to make sure that the three of them were sufficiently mixed up. It was the best way to cover this problem and to make sure that the real one stayed as hidden in the group as she could.

It was ony then that Kevala would watch all this as Arthur went after the two clones. The shockwave hitting them just as she darted forward and slammed her fist into the back of his neck. Bouncing back long enough to throw a solid kick to the small of his back.

Honestly what were the chances that she would be attacked by somebody other than the guy they were SUPPOSED to be fighting.

Just then a fist flew at her face. Of course! Now she had BOTH of them on her ass! What fun!?

Growling softly as her head snapped back, though she recovered fast enough. As did both clones.

Now, all three were up and the clones would dart toward Arthur, their fists coming up at the same time and slamming into his face just before their knees would come up into his gut. Both of them working together to fight him off.

All the while the original would come back from the hit she had taken, slamming her own first forward and into the mans face.

Could this get any worse?

Seriously?!

(con: 86 )

[Kazuya Hikari]

Alex grinned slightly as the man managed to dodge Alex's strike, and if I were to say Alex was expecting that, well then that would be god-modding, because he didn't. His hand caught by the man, his grin widened even more as the man attempted to fire his attack straight into Alex's face. That wasn't going to happen. Lifting his free hand up, Alex created a burst of flames out of thin air in front of him, protecting him somewhat from the burst, as he saw the man go after Arthur and Kevala Clone #1. The dust having settled, Alex could clearly see there were two clones of Kevala, and the original Kevala. Words would more than likely not work on the man, he didn't care if there was no ill-will towards him or not, he was going to try and kick ALL their asses. The fact they were fighting amongst each other gave the man an advantage... a big advantage, Alex hated to admit. If they were going to get out of this relatively unharmed, they were going to have to work together, whether it was liked or not.

With Arthur now going after Kevala Clone #1 and #2, Alex had to shake his head in disbelief. What a drag... Alex then saw the man go after the original Kevala, as Alex looked in between the clones, who seemed to have recovered from the attack and were back on their feet, and Kevala, as he made up his mind, and darted at the man, to aid Kevala. That's right Kevala... Keep Mr. Dragon here distracted... If she managed to keep the man distracted long enough, the moment he'd gotten close enough, Alex would leap up into the air and launch himself towards the man, rearing his right arm back, as he swung his body to the left in mid-air, aiming to slam his left leg into the back of the man. He also had his blade, which was currently strapped to the back of his waist, but he felt there was no need to use it... yet.

[Quest Character]

Dropping back was the first reaction out of shear defense for one's self. Burst was by no means a foolish man, so in retaliating to the man's words he ebbed away not proceeding any more to strike the zombie man down. Fool would realize soon enough there'd be no room for mercy, soon as they'd dealt with the pests he'd be next to go.

Dropping back unto his rear legs and raising his left forearm he deflected the assault Kevala approached on him bending his left leg across his body to kick her in the face. This action if not impeded would twirl him about to face the fireman. A wry grin lighting his features.

"You fool."

*BANG!*

The sudden burst of propulsion aiming him across the room arms extended cutting the boy's attack short assuming he continued through with it. The force alone sending him into the wall roughly.

"This is but a glimpse of my power, it merely grows, and you'll be my first victim." Burst laughed sadistically as he'd roughly shove the boy through the wall keeping his grip taut on his upper biceps.

[Arthur Ð]

Arthur would growl at the three images. Last he checked there was no twin for this woman, let alone two. One was real, the other two were fake. The idea was the identify the fakes. There was difficulty in that regards for each acted on their own. This is simply no after image trick. There had to be something more. Something... Arthur grinned as the women came onto him.

A fractured mind, schizophrenia. Three bodies. Three Minds. But that damnable woman was in charge. Arthur grabbed the stillborn from his side and hurled it at the women. One would undoubtedly head to save their child, even if it was nothing more than flesh in a jar. Arthur would then reach up and grab the second chain from around his body, and at the same time bend low and sweep to the side. Throwing the tail end of his coat up in the air, using his speed, and systematically dismantling their attack.

He would let the final one hit him, though it would hit him solidly on his chest, at the same time as he would twirl his chain much like a bola. Trying to ensnare this final woman. "If. You. Are. In. There. Sasha. Katie. Look. At. What. This. One. Does. She. Has. Three. Bodies. Yet. Gives. You. None. Is. There. Not. Greed. In. Her. Actions.? Is. There. Not. An. Unfair. Monarchy.? Rise. Up. If. You. Can. Hear. Me. And. Seize. What. Is. Yours." Arthur would whisper to the closest of the three Kevalas, the one he had attempted to seize in his chain.

[Kevala Badoer]

Kevala would end up taking all attacks thrown at her. A sharp pain filling her mind as she struggled to keep herself under control. Then note was taken of the jar containing the body of her child being thrown. But Kev was far from stupid, sending clone one after it while the chain would knock the feet out from under the other two. Both of them falling to the ground.

The third caught the child, moving to place it in a safe spot before running back to defend the other two, herself being the one snagged up by his chain and drawn to him.

His words entered her mind, and though the real Kev could hear them, she closed out the final words.

"She is just a clone Arthur. You cannot play your mind games on them."

With that she would have the clone slam her head back into his with all her strenghth. Clone two and Kev would be up by now, one going after the Dragon and slamming her foot directly into his lower back with all her force while the other would go at Arthur. Kev needed all three of them if they were going to fight this guy...so getting back clone one was an issue.

( con 81 )

[Kazuya Hikari]

The man having deflected Kevala's assault and kicked her in the face, he twirled around and now faced Alex, a wry grin lighting up his features. The sudden burst of propulsion from the man flung him straight at Alex, his arms extended out in front of him as Alex's flying attack was cut off, the force sending Alex flying backwards, as he landed roughly against the wall, as the man shoved Alex through the wall, a crater sized hole left in their wake, as Alex felt the man's taut grip against his upper biceps. Alex coughed out a bit of blood from the attack, landing near the feet of the man, as he was held flat against the wall, his hair hiding the upper portion of his face. "Heh...you're the one that's the fool." Alex laughed quietly, as he smirked slightly at the man.

"You'll pay for this Burst Dragon." If the man asked why, Alex would reply, "Because you're not going to remember anything after this." Alex then placed his own body on fire, as he lifted his left leg and rapidly planted a kick dead straight into the man's gut, forcing him away. And since the man was in such close proximity, the chances of his evading the strike was slim, add to the fact both his hands were occupied keeping Alex's arms in place against the wall. If his attack succeeded, Alex would drop lightly to the ground, keeping his body on fire, as he darted straight at the man, tucking his right hand into his left armpit, aiming to ram the man in the stomach with his elbow, and drive him back out of the hole they were in, and back out into the alleyway.

The Burst Dragon was no longer satisfied with this turn of events. Some how they'd been putting forth enough of an effort to withstand his strengths, his years of training, everything had come to a point of serious realization.

Damn them, Damn them all, He'd bring forth a force that'd be their end. They wouldn't make room from this tight encased grave they'd bug themselves.

"BANZAI!"

The Dragon would take the hit spiraling backwards into a flip coming unto his hands before the propulsion fired again Launching him with the increased force into the fire boy. His arms elongated into a force ridden charge lunging himself head strong into the ground seeing as their combined might shuddered the room into an explosive end at the other side the Dragon slain at the floor.

"There is another who will finish you here, this will be your grave."

*thud*

*thud*

"Tiny mortals won't get past me. For I am Stone."

The behemoth beckoned loudly with a smug look on his features the very bulk of him looked to be a large van holding the contents of a bank armory. Large knuckles rubbed against one another pleasantly ready to Smash open some heads.

"Now which of you dies first?"

[Arthur Ð]

Arthur grinned at her words, her head impacting but the damage was spread out from his lack of nose.

"I. Care. Not. For. Your. Words. Kevala. Save. For. One. If. This. One. Is. Not. Real. Then. I. Shall. Be. Done. With. It.!" Arthur declared whilst at the same time his fists twisted slightly so his knuckled were pointed at the head of the tripplet he held captive. Energy gathered in his fists rapidly before firing off at point blank range. As it fired off he jerked his own head back putting himself clear of the expanding blast, but with the chain wrapped around the clone, there was almost no way it'd escape the full force of the impact.

After the blast had ample time to reach the clone, Arthur would slacken his chains and kick the clone towards the charging replica. Arthurs voice would also call out. "Awaken. From. Your. Slumber. Seize. The. World. As. Your. Own.! Come. Sasha.! Katie.!" Arthur making another call out to the schizophrenic nature of the woman he faced down.
