Night Watch (Eury/Request)

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Eury smiled at Oleysa giving a little laugh just before the woman threw the blade towards a man on her left. The crowbar was still coming towards her face, instinctively she swiftly raised her left hand that still held the other dagger. The blade caught the metal of the crowbar and slid down scarping it as she pushed forward towards the man. Her right hand shooting up to palm the dagger in his throat further through, gripping it in the same motion and yanking back. In the same motion she lifted her right leg to push him hard from the top of his pelvic bone, this would cause him to drop like a rag doll as she regained her second dagger in the same process. Blood undoubtedly got on her dark clothes with a few spots upon her face.

Suddenly she heard the man behind her, a little to her right, yelling and swinging a wooden staff towards her torso. She reached back with her left arm as if she was spinning backwards to the right. Her arm would end of snaking around the staff locking it in place. She was about to continue until out of her peripherals she noticed another staff coming at her. No this staff has bladed at the tip. For once they attacked properly and it certainly caught the brunette off guard just a little. She noticed him when he was far too close for what she was first thinking about doing, so what did she do? She didn't let go of the staff just yet, instead as he came in to stab her she slid her torso to the right. Nevertheless the blade still cut, but not as bad as it could've been though. It sliced through her hoodie, cutting her skin about an 2 inches deep, she's had much worse. After he pushed forward he pulled back, waiting to stab again. Eury released her snake like grip of the staff just as he was letting out a kick to her stomach. For a moment the wind got knocked out of her, quickly he raised the staff and struck her on her back making her drop to her knees.

~Shit!~

The spear guy was standing in front of her, her breathing was a bit heavy but she'd be damn if she would go out. Out of breath or not. There was such a thing called second wind. Eury still had her daggers and the one in her right was finding it's way through the spear guy's right foot. He screamed in pain dropping his weapon and falling back. The other got distracted watching his comrade giving Eury his back a little. This gave her the chance to get up and stab him in the back at angle and twist, there was no sound from him. This was something she learned; it was known as the silent kill. The other she first with the dagger in the foot she didn't bother with. The staff wielder dropped with the dagger leaving her weaponless but right now she was regaining that lost of breath. But it wouldn't last as she was kicked in the back causing her to not only stumble but completely fall over the guy she just killed. Quickly she rolled to the left and as she did a guy with brass knuckles had jumped in the air and was coming down at her with his feet. Again she rolled this time getting up but remaining in a low cat stance staring at him, still regaining that breath from that gut shot. He looked at her with a snarl and realigned himself standing in a boxing stance.

~Boxer huh? Ok..~

She raised placing her legs shoulder width apart, hands raising keeping her palms open. Oh she wasn't going to box a guy with brass knuckles, she could but she wanted to take him down quickly. Then again she could be playing mind games. She waited for him to continue inching forward as he did he shot a straight for her head. Eury's stance changed briefly as she closed her hands into a fist, dipping under his punch and moving into his frame a little at the same time. As she did so she would swung a hook hard for his ribcage. The man wasn't expecting it so he didn't brace and felt the full force. He groaned as his body crunched in a little, as he did he tried grabbing for her hair. He succeeded in yanking her back by her locs, but as he hesitated to punch she was already on the offense quickly jamming her right thumb into the side of his throat. Immediately he let go stumbling back chocking.

"Never hesitate."

And the woman didn't grabbing one of his arms twisting and palming the back of his elbow causing a horrible break. Just as the man howled Eury violently kicked him in his knee causing another break. As he dropped she still had a viper grip on his broken arm she gave him a hard chop in his throat. Another rag doll. Letting go she retrieved his brass knuckles. Again breathing she'd look through the fray and find Oleysa. Eury was still feeling weird about this attack. Something just still seemed off. Eury would dawn the knuckles and run over to Oleysa but place her back against Oleysa's. With that feeling she felt they should probably stick a little closer.

"Hey... Not for nothing don't you think this attack seems a bit odd? The way it's going about? Seems just a little fruitless? It looks like their trying to breach, but with a small group like this it's nothing."

Again if they were testing the the defense it made sense, sorta. But she just couldn't shake it. Maybe it was her gift being all whacky. Maybe someone else was giving off that vibe and interfering but it didn't hurt to be safe. For now Eury stood with Oleysa at ready.

Back to back, Olesya heard Eury's comment, frowning as she looked at the remaining thugs. Five surrounded them in a crude circle, blocking them from attacking the four thugs weilding the battering ram. Their efforts raised dust on the wall, breaking tiny flakes off the cement. They would need to be stopped soon before they created any significant damage.

"I dunno. You're right, it seems weird, but theyre relatively unorganized. I think they're from a rogue faction and not Barker's men. Either that or he's slipping considerably."

None of them wore any sort of insignia, and they were dirty. They didn't appear to belong to a large faction, at least Olesya hoped no.

"Let's just take them out quickly and get it over with."

She still had the sword in her hand she'd liberated from one of the thugs. The first came at her with a spiked bat, swinging at her head. She ducked low, slicing the swordright below his kneecaps, severing the tendons. He howled in pain, dropping to his knees, the bat falling to his side as he fell. She followed this up with a modified roundhouse kick to the face, bending her knee slightly in the swing and kicking it out as she reached his face, caving his nose in. He fell backward and didn't get back up.

The second thug had a bladed staff, attempting to run her through. She struck her blade down, driving the blade of the staff into the ground as she stepped to the side to avoid it. She lifted her foot high and stomped on the staff, breaking it in half, and leaving the thug with a stick of wood. She grabbed the end of the stick with her one hand, pulling his hands up and horizontal. Holding onto the stick she pulled it toward her and kicked him in the gut. The thug let go of the stick and she jammed it in his gut and then in his throat to knock the wind out of him for good. He keeled over gasping for air like a fish out of water.

~Or just sacrificial of his men~

"Let's."

Eury clenched her fist once again, normally she was an open handed fighter usually closing into a fist at the last moment but right now she still wore the last guys brass knuckles. Guy number one ran up and swung with his axe at her head, luckily Eury felt Oleysa's duck a split second before reassuring her that she wouldn't be harmed if Eury ducked to. Actually it gave Eury an extra insight that regardless she needed to duck herself from the onslaught from Oleysa's side. The man swung and Eury more than just ducked, her body dropped to roll diagonally to the mans right. In a crouch her back was facing him now and with a swift motion she sent a back fist into the back of his knee. The metal hitting its target hard causing the main to drop to his knees naturally. Quickly getting up Eury would kick the man hard in the face but that wouldn't knock him out just yet. A second with dual push knives would rush from behind, the man on the grounds eyes gave away his comrade who was jumping to pounce on Eury.

Noticing the direction of the man's eyes she dove out the way. Push knives sunk into the axe wielders chest, the man barely managed a scream. The one with the push knives with no remorse roughly yanked them out and charged at Eury with a snarl. The man punched wildly at her as she dodged the push knives that made his reach extend very small. Once she saw an opening within his wild strikes, she swiftly stepped into him and delivered a quick hard short uppercut to his chin. The man stumbled back but she gave him no time to recover moving forward gripping the back of his head and bringing it down hard to meet her oncoming knee. Once his head bounced back she'd deliver a hard right punch to his face, knocking him out cold. The woman now had blood on her hands and some on her dark clothes.

~Great going to have to wash these really good.~

They were persistent as another charged at Eury again a dagger in hand, Eury ended up side stepping while grabbing a hold of the guy and more or less pushing him harder towards Oleysa. He would be stumbling his way towards her, no kind of footing.

"Heads up!... Meet you by the wall!"

Eury would say with a smile and a wave as she ran off. Pretty sure the men had taken at least some of the guys with the ram?

-----------------------------------
Challenging thugs: 2 down, 1 pending downfall ^_^

[Your Mom~]

Just as Olesya dispatched with the last man circling her side, she heard Eury call out to her, tossing one of the thugs her way. It was if they were plaing some sort of crude gladiator game, and Olesya and Eury were wiping the competition.

"Got it!"

Was that a smirk? Judging the man's trajectory, Olesya aimed her sword and braced while he did all the dirty work for her, impaling himself on her blade. She gripped the hilt and tugged the blade upward, the man gave a gurgled cry, slumping to the ground. She didn't bother reclaiming her weapon, it was covered in too much blood.

However, as she was running after Eury, she spotted a nice pair of push knives, and she ducked down, liberating them from the unconscious man as she went. Afterall, he didn't need them, now did he? Less took a quick scan of the area. Everyone appeared to be down except for the men withthe battering ram, Pieces of cement flaked off from their contact point, fine spiderweb-like cracks marring the surface of the wall. They were going to need to be taken down quickly to protect their territory.

Time to show these jokers who they were messing with.

Taking off at a sprint, Olesya leapt onto the wal, using the traction of her toe shoes to stick to the wall as she ran up it at a diagonal, push knives in hand. She reached the battering ram party, targetting one of the remaining four thugs. She pushed off from the wall like a flying squirrel, leaping onto the man and jabbing her push knives into the base of his neck. Luckily these men didn't appear to be armed since they had the battering ram in their hands. He fell, losing his grip on the battering ram, the man behind him dropping his side in shock and attempting to run. Another smirk, Les took off after him, tackling him to the ground and snapping his neck with a quick movement. She rolled off the man, returning to a crouch facing the wall. How was Eury doing?

Battering Ram Men x 4

2 Down - 2 Left.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Eury had to give them some credit for coming all the way out there with seemingly no real plan but still pursuing their goal even though so many of their comrades had fallen. In some cases simple thugs would've just ran off at the sight. Funny how fear didn't seem to take over them and cause their flight. Determined to meet a goal or too afraid to go back and face the wrath of failing from whomever they worked for. Then again if they worked for anyone creditable, which it didn't seem, this attack would mean something much more. Eury finally started to shake that feeling off leaving it to blow in the passing wind, accepting that they were just mindless fools trying to make a name for themselves. Maybe in death they would find the titles they fought for.

~Idiots~

Eury might've ran off first but the gap between her and Oleysa wasn't very big at all so it was plainly obvious Oleysa would catch up very quickly. Eury had already seen a piece of the weapons speed earlier so Eury kept an eye out for the white haired woman. Oh look there she was running on walls like Raiden just without the electricity effect. Seeing her out of the corner of her left Eury would time the girls leap onto one of the men, to baseball slide between that one, the man behind and under the battering ram itself to get to the other two thugs. To think she only came out to run about. To get a feel for the city once more. Now she was fighting off thugs and getting her clothes all dirty, meh Eury didn't care too much for the dirt. The blood that was always a pain to get out.

Just as she slid under the ram would end up dropping considering it took four to hold it, now only two was but that would be brief as she pushed herself up quickly. The man on her left hollered from the under dropping of the ram onto his foot giving Eury the edge to take her right fist - still fitted with the brass knuckles- and punch straight for his collar bone. As he dropped in pain he would be the next man to meet her knee tonight as it came up to meet him half way. The one in front of him, now behind her had previously staggered from all the weight of the battering ram being left for him. By the time she finished his friend he got his footing and turned in time to be met with a quick chop to his throat. Without a doubt gurgling he'd go down. Eury's hazel greens scanned the area noting that the thugs pretty much had been defeated. Finding Oleysa's position Eury nodded a little in silent approval before looking down at herself and hands.

~Well this wasn't what I had in mind.. I'ma seriously need a shower. I really liked this hoodie, this is gonna be a bitch to wash out.. Oh well~

Somewhere in her silent thoughts she ended up chuckling outwardly about it all, dropping her hands to her sides loosely. Stepping over the ram Eury would come near Oleysa from her right speaking in a lighthearted manner while offering a hand. The brass knuckle was still on it, still a little bloody, looking she wiped her hand against her leg and offered the hand again. Still was gonna have smeared blood and some dirt from her sliding on the floor. Hey at least she wasn't a girl that was afraid of getting dirty.

"Well that was rejuvenating no? Not bad teamwork I have to say."

With a smile on her face she admitted they made a pretty good team for first timers working together. Imagine what could be if they trained together? Worked even more as one unit creating little special move sets. Get into each others mind just knowing what they would do without a word, just a mere look. It's been a long time since she had a partner like that.

[Your Mom~]

Just like dominoes, the thugs fell one by one until three were none standing. Olesya exhaled, twirling one of the push daggers in her hands as she surveyede the scene. Wow...it looked like a wrecking ball had come through here....or two wrecking balls for that matter. Olesya caught Eury's eye as she walked up to her, offering a bloddied hand. Les took the extra push dagger in her left hand while shaking Eury's with her right.

"Looks like we both found som souveniers, eh?"

She laughed lightly, despite the destruction around them. They were both covered in blood and dirt, Olesya's stark white hair streaked with red. It would take forever to wash out.

"Thanks for the hand, I'm sorry I misjudged you."

A couple nearby soldiers who overhead the exchange raised their eyebrows. Anyone who knew the Voice knew that she didn't apologize much. It was a large gesture for the woman. But afterall, Eurydice had helped prevent an invasion, the gesture was well earned.

"I need to clean up and write up a report on this joke of an invasion. But I'm sure I'll see you around."

She clenched her fist to her heart in the Dragon salute, and if Eury had nothing to add, Olesya would make her leave.

[Eurydice Sudeki]

Eury would smile and laugh.

"Indeed, though this isn't much my style."

She spoke referring to the brass knuckles. She used them because it was available and she trained with loads of weaponry, but she preferred her hands to be more open and less restricting. Eury slid the brass knuckles off but decided to keep them despite her statement. If she choose to discard them in the future it would be to someone else. As the apology came she easily noticed the bewilderment of a solider or two behind Oleysa. A quick easy deduction would prove that this must be a rarity indeed. The woman before her probably wasn't one for apologizing which Eury could relate to. Though she herself had grown to apologize a bit more than she used to.

"Heh, it's fine. I don't blame you I did seem a bit suspicious.. And well I'm sorry for my banter back."

Oh, see she can apologize to. That was a rarity as well. But then again Eury was the gal that what you dished towards her she normally dished back. How could she not choose to be the big gal in this as while. She looked at Oleysa then back at herself over and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Haha yea no kidding I need to do the same. Well the shower part that is and laundry now. This is gonna be a bitch."

Seeing the bow, Eury blinked momentarily before smiling and showing the same respect. Again speaking jokingly as she stood up.

"Next time would be much easier and cleaner terms I hope... See you around, Oleysa."

With that Eury too would leave.
