HARDMODE... FROM BEHIND (GM)

[Kyrie Blaze]

"Two incoming, brace yourselves!" The blonde called things out as she saw it, and now that the field of battle was...mostly cleared of the enemies aside from these ones, a mask shimmered into dark existence over her face and Kyrie swept her gaze across the battlefield starting with the two that were running towards her allied gangs, getting information on both enemies and her allies. If they were going to win this, they were going to need to use every tool at their to gain as much information about their enemy in order to do so.

Which meant...

She breathed and - though tempted - did not move her hand to one of the two necklaces there. She would not give away that she had something valuable beneath her shirt and vest. The blonde would call upon her reinforcement when it was time.

It was not now.

Once she was done the mask dissipated.

[Zack Asiv]

Kiyr's vision gives her what she knows of the situation, but its the other stuff that might bother her. Like a staticy radio in her head. Catching a word every now and then, but nothing solid. As soon as she released her mask the sound in her mind would vanish as well.

Rai's own brain would be sending the same signals, but his focus was elsewhere to make anything out of it. His blood mist gets close enough, but a strong thought hits Rai. ~No breathing!~ Almost enough to make them want to hold their breath, as if it was their own thoughts, except in a femininely commanding voice.

the mist is captured inside a field cut off from Rai.

Rai -5 Cha

[Kyrie Blaze]

"Two incoming have high speed; the one on the left can take more of a beating but he is slightly weaker in speed and smarts! They do not have qi, but, apparently have something different!"

As the woman with the shield demonstrated.

Communicating and informing her comrades was key, like she said. The static, the voices, were definitely a cause for concern, but they vanished when she banished the mask.

Should she call on Gregory now, or wait?

"All of the seven are ridiculously strong! There are only a couple with below-average abilities in physical or mental capacities! Keep on your toes!"

She would rush to try and intercept the one slightly slower, throwing out a hand and aiming a pike of her qi from the palm of her hand for his chest--as it was a larger target.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai was confused when the voice entered his head, but then he felt himself get cut off from his own blood.

"Ugh."

What the hell was that... Rai clutched his head and ripped off the mask. Its possible that whoever or whatever voice he just heard figured out what he was trying to do. It might be that she was able to read his mind while he had it on. Well the best idea to do in that case was to take off the damned mask. But now what... Rai turned to anyone he could see and shout out.

"They can communicate telepathically! Be careful, they can easily coordinate attacks!"

[Your Mom~]

Things were stating to grow intense once again. Something about the seven individuals did not feel right. She knew that rushing in would only get her and her squad killed.

"Hold your positions, do not engage until they attack. Stay away from that mist."

She eyed the black mist warily as it drifted over to the enemy. Something wasn't right about that, either. For now she kept them in her sights, watching for any signs of movement. She'd let them make their move first, instead of charging in. She wanted to know what they were dealing with.

"Two engaging. Brace yourselves! Close the gaps and work with your neighboring squads. If they fall we all fall."

She looked to August, nodding as they both took off to provide back up where it was needed.

[John Nemo]

John spun as the doors opened, eyes wide at the sight.

"Aw, fuck."

He turned, grabbing Mitsuki and attempting to race away after the others, wanting to protect the girl who was trying to help him.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn straightens and rolls her shoulders beneath her fancy jacket Leon had given her since graduating. She sneers - maybe a bit too cocky - and stalks forward, taking in the seven and then turning her attention to the bloody fast prick that was headed in her general direction.

Fear and the thrill got her adrenaline pumping and she cracked her knuckles.

'Let's go.'

STR: 20 (33) | DEX: 24 (30) | CON: 23 (34)
INT: 22 (22) | WIS: 22 (22) | CHA: 28 (28)

Though her stats are not completely up-to-date, these will be what I use.

[David B.]

David spiraled out of control as the force tore his clone from his grip. He caught glances of the army below him, but didn't focus on it. He hardened the air around him, attempting to slow himself faster. If it worked, he'd throw three punches from his position, launching hardened cannonballs of air at his opponent, ignoring the small burns from the scratches on his back, having blasted through the wall with some serious velocity.

OOC: Boom, sup bitches.

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien heard what Kiyr had said, knowing already that the seven were extremely powerful. Rushing in, at this point, was a bad idea, as was going blind into that fog.

"I'm going to try and stay stealthed, maybe I can get a better plan." He turned to his squad, who knew what to do.

He activated his Qi and went invisible, slowly stepping around the area, waiting for any sort of changes in the tide of battle. He especially wanted to make sure that no one was stepping through that fog.

SUDDENLY

David Blaze was spiraling through the air! Outside, which meant that the assault on the interior was going... well?

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi's eyes swept across the battle field, quickly homing in on the slower one that Kiyr had begun to attack.; Two on one was a much better than trying to solo behemoths like these. Attacking a target while it was in melee would require more precision so as the spheres of light continued to fire, they would fire as lasers rather than spherical projectiles, increasing Levi's accuracy and making the attack harder to evade. He continued to move forward as he assaulted the general, taking care to avoid hitting Kiyr.

[Mathew Amtrum]

The pillar would start to split and Mathew would rise up out of one half, trying to stabilize his half of the pillar. Swiping his foot along the stone he would try to shoot spikes at Barker before launching himself at Barker hoping he would deal with the spikes and leave himself open for Mathew. Who would shoot a spike out of his clothes to try and finish the job and stab him.


OOC: Suuuuuuuuuuup?

[Zack Asiv]

Kiyr's attack is intercepted quickly as the charging form turns and slid to a stop, narrowly dodging the pike a surprised look on his face for a mere second before he charged her. Dropping to a baseball slide.

The woman with the fields would throw the solidified blood mist to the side releasing it, and moving towards the others to protect any ranged attacks.

Nemo is able to grab Mitsuki and retreat.

Aryn would have just enough time to prepared before he started to transform slightly, his legs now covered in a red and gold armor like flesh that made him faster, and gloves that had him hit harder as he'd come sliding in throwing up dust in his wake aiming a hail marry right hook for her head.

Davids clone began countering and dodging, catching and redirecting some of the large air cannon balls.

Lucien notes that his distracted form of seeing David left him open and a single one of the generals seemed to appear almost next to him, staring.

The one in melee with Kiyr would have to raise his arms in defense of light lasers now burning into his arms and upper body, though he was going through his attack on Kiyr.

Barker would steady himself on his half, and with a quick Tai Chi spin and rotation of his upper body dodging spikes, as Mathew came at him from the air, Barker would extend his arms sending out a beam of electricity for Mathew's chest, the spike from Mathew's clothes however would pierce Barker's skin, but not his heart or chest, and it was being held at bay barely half an inch into his flesh.

[Arianna Barrial]

The blonde woman watched from her vantage point beside the older male that was decked out in suitable attire. The war had been progressing...so many fell. So many were dead and dying.

Honey coloured eyes watched, anxiously, her hands clenching and relaxing. Two similar figures burst from the side of the compound as those still on the battlefield engaged with one another. The sheer speed they all moved at was amazing.

Two more men burst from the roof.

The woman continued to watch, trying to remember to breathe, nervously shifting on her feet.

[David B.]

David got closer with his firings, then stretched out an arm, hand open and fingers outstretched and pulled, aiming to slam a net of air into the clones back, hoping to wrap it around the baddies body and closing his hand into a fist. If it worked, he intended to entangle the individual him up, and with his closing fist, hoped to force hundreds of spikes of air to stab inward, piercing the clone all over.

This move would cause sweat to break out, and he would feel a slight fatigue...but hoped to end this threat immediately.

OOC: If this attack works, David will lose 10 Charisma for a period of 3 posts.

[Kyrie Blaze]

The stop of her attack was jarring, and the blonde twisted her body to the side - noise drew her attention for a split moment, noting that four figures had emerged from the compound but not enough time to register who - before her attention was turned back to her target.

She burst forward and literally threw herself into a leap just a moment after he started his slide--already bringing her hands up to protect her centre line before - if she made it - she flipped and twisted her body, so she was facing her adversary as her feet hit the ground and she rolled backwards and back up to her feet, immediately moving back in but not completely closing the distance, letting Levi wear him down.
