Dragon Rising (All Dragon Apprentices and Jackson)

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Having an instant bad feeling of something coming his left blood wing covered his front body he didn't know who was attacking so to be safe he willed spikes to sprout out from the wings hoping to at the very least cut of the attack for a moment to gather his senses.

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi reacted immediately as the wing covered Rai's body, Allowing his legs to kick out to the side, turning his lean into a fall a single spike narrowly catching his arm.

"Ah!"

He hit the ground with his shoulders and brought his legs across in a sweeping motion in a sweep attack, if successful, he would continue his sweep, until his head was closest to Rai, pushing up with his arms and flipping forwards onto his feet. He would then raise his left leg into the air and drop it down on top of Rai's chest, wing protection or not.

Skyfall.....

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

(OOC: Levi- If the spike didn't break skin let me know and I will edit the post, I'm not sure if thats what you're trying to say happened its just what I saw in my head from your post, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

When the spike grazed Levi's arm some of the blood would leave the spike and go into Levi's arm hardening in that area of his arm. Levi's arm feels a little numb where he was cut and is hard to the touch but nothing other than that happens, Levi might not even notice it. As Levi went into the sweep Rai's other wing would literally come down and try to bat Levi aside, if this were successful Rai would lean down and unclasp his training weights quickly thankful that it was only one latch per shin.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn mentally crowed. 'Got yer lip, whatcha gonna do, now, bitch?!'

"Mmssht!"

Oh shit. Aryn ducked, but Jackson got a solid clip in, disorienting her before Kiyr's attack knocked her fully into Jackson, perhaps sending them both to the ground.

...it would be really laughable if she wound up straddling him, but it wasn't likely.

[Jackson]

Jackson is an unlikely character. As soon as they landed, he pushed his hips upwards to roll on top of her. He held one of her arms down, and pushed her other arm into a position that would cut off her airways.

He glanced very briefly over his shoulder to look for Kiyr, but quite predictably, didn't see anything. So, he turned his attention back to Aryn. He needed to make sure she couldn't jam a leg up into his crotchital region, so he put some weight down onto his legs. Unless outside intervention came through, she was probably done.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Jackson was wrong in his assumption that he wouldn't see the blonde. Kyrie only partially rolled away, coming up to a knee, taking stock of how the fights were progressing. She snapped her fingers, loud enough for Valcoph and Jackson to hear, hopefully halting her skirmish, then pointed at the two.

"Hit Raikotsu in a combined attack, then Levi. Get up, go. I will be with you."

It was clear she expected them to do it, and she slid into Jackson's shadow. The logic behind her reasoning wasn't a matter of liking or not liking one over the other in Levi and Raikotsu's case, but something else entirely.

[Jackson]

Jackson released Aryn, and rolled off her, standing as he did so. He assumed she'd be right behind him, so he ran at Rai full-force and slid the last five feet, planting his legs in a solid thrust-kick to the back of Rai's knees. He was going to bring Rai down....With the help of Kiyr, and Aryn.....of course.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn managed to keep one hand free and was about to go for Jackson's throat and eyes when the little one's words registered and the pressure lifted as Jackson rolled up.

She was back on her feet fairly quickly, too, wondering what the hell - who the hell - gave the nod for her to direct them. She followed Jackson but stopped about five feet out.

'Fuck that.'

Too many people. She didn't appreciate being ordered around. But she could agree that focusing one down was beneficial to all. So instead of getting into range, Aryn lit the air very close to Rai's left wing, or the wing itself.

Make his blood boil, literally. But she was really hoping to dry it out.

[Kyrie Blaze]

As Jackson's shadow passed into Rai's, Kyrie took he opportunity to transfer into Rai's, patient and waiting to see if Jackson's attack would work, first.

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi pushed out with his right arm, changing the angle of his kick to get around the defending wing, at least partially. He swept Rai's right leg, hoping to unbalance him and as he rose to his feet to follow up, Levi's ears perked up.

*Snap*

"Hit Raikotsu in a combined attack, then Levi. Get up, go. I will be with you."

Hobbits!

His plan changed instantly as he saw the other three charging right for Rai. This would potentially end badly if he had to fight all three of them at once. He leaped back before Jackson passed rai's side, making sure to avoid crossing shadows with him, sensing the tricksy hobbits in his shadow. As soon as Jackson passed Rai, Levi bolted for Aryn, waiting until after she attacked to make his move. As soon as he got within range he sent a wide left hook towards her face, continuing to run around her. The hook was a diversion for his true attack, and though the hook had some power in it (20 Str, 21 Dex), his follow-up was meant to take Aryn out of the game. As he rounded his target, he threw his hips to the left and brought the full force of his leg up and around, targeting the side of her head with a vicious hook kick.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

As Rai was preparing for another attack from Levi he hear Kiyr say something but he could catch what it was but something was setting off in his head and just like that Jackson and Aryn ran at him Rai, feeling much lighter thanks to the taking off of the weights (Dex: 32) he would jump off the ground flappig his wings to give him extra lift launching himself off the ground and out of harms way landing a good distance away from Jackson and it looked as though Levi had found himself another target for now, he thought about calling out an alliance as the other 3 had done but thought better against it, Levi was strong and probably didn't need his help. With that he turned his attention on Jackson to see what his next move would be. Though he had a bad feeling he couldn't see Kiyr which meant she was in someone's shadow, he didn't know if it was his or not he was going to stay alert just in case.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Smart guy. He may have been shy, but he could fight...

...and currently, beat the tar out of her, by the looks of things.

Aryn shifted to the side, but Levi's attack still clipped her as she relinquished her power instead of sending it to Rai, putting the flamt out and trying to ignite Levi's shirt, instead. The punch was still fast, much faster than she'd anticipated, and she couldn't fully dodge it, getting clipped and stumbling...

...right into his followup. It connected solidly, and Aryn crumpled, the force of the blow sending her to the side and down to the ground, out cold.

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie bides her time within the shadows for the opportune moment.

[Jackson]

Having missed Rai, Jackson looked around him to see who else needed to be hit. Levi looked to be his next target, and while he'd taken out Aryn, Jackson didn't think he'd be able to take him on alone.

"Kiyr, if you're lurking in the shadows, I could use some help!" He said. He rushed headlong into Levi, shoulder first, to tackle him to the ground.

If Levi didn't fall, Jackson's momentum would carry him through for a roll, back to standing. If he did go down, though. Jackson would be on him aiming punches, and finger-jabs towards his neck, temples, and eyes.

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi opened his hands as Jackson approached, readying himself to counter. He was free to open up as Kyrie was now in Rai's shadow. He side stepped the shoulder charge, turning to follow his new opponent and followed so that he would be ready to attack when Jackson recovered from his roll, speaking as he did so.

"Your attacks look powerful....but they're too easy to read, disguise them more..."

Levi's left leg shot out as Jackson came up, aiming a toe kick to the bridge of his nose. He would then quickly follow-up by throwing his hips around, pivoting on his right foot and throwing a left snap kick with the same foot at the side of Jackson's face.
