Midgards Strike (Dragons, Gods, Barker Cell)

[Kyrie Blaze]

Wait! Damien was ON THE SHIP!? She opened her lips and then--

"David! I found Olesya and your family so--"

The screens were suddenly overriden to give her a view of Strike--and Gregory and Arianna blipped onto the screen!

'As soon as it is safe to do so, blast Strike with the heat cannons! Keep him off the ship!'

[Mr. Kaar]

Eury is on her way to the ship!

David slices his attacker to multiple pieces! However he explodes, throwing David harshly through a near by building!

Hyperion grabs the bottom jaw and rips it right out, the creature looks like its afraid, not of Hyperion, but of something else, then explodes! throwing Hyperion doing massive damage, but not killing him.

Gregory and Arianna make it to the ship, Arianna gets inside. Gregory snaps Strike's back and tosses him tot he side with ease.

The ship see's this as an opening and two large canons pop up and fire huge lasers of heat energy at the body of John Strike. Once the smoke clears standing there was.

"I guess you made me change."

Arkeus would lift a hand and point it at Gregory. Every bone in his body shatters. He didn't die however. Fool was resilient.

Civilians on the ship: 2299

[David B.]

Gregory crumples to the ground and laughs....

"I hope you enjoy this moment, Strike, kuz you won't remember anything after this!"

The bones in his arm repair themselves, and he extends it toward the ship! The last civilian would be hurled inside an the doors would forcibly close! Kiyr could now take off!!!! Gregory would then turn the hand on Strike...and 400 spikes, made of ice, would form in a circle around him and fire inward, attempting to make him into a pincussion! If it worked...they would then explode in a blast of black energy, but remain focused and solidified to Strike, away from the ship.(STR of Ice Spikes and energy explosion: 380) Gregorys hand would lower as sweat would pool on his back- the energy in his ring was gone, now, as he had saved it up for five years. (-25 to all gregorys stats permanently.)

David would be thrown away like a rag doll, blasting through a wall and crumpling a bit, spitting blood as three cuts were on his body. He lunged from the hole, plowing into Hyperion as the blast it, taking the full brunt of the damage! Davids back would be completely flayed as his left arm snapped, his right ankle twisting all the way around as they were both hurled into another building.

Hyperion, if hit by David, would grunt in surprise, several fingers on his left hand still snapping painfully!

[Eurydice Sudeki]

And on her way she was!

Nothing was going to stop her from getting there. That was her mindset, her determination. Suddenly she felt a whole new energy and she knew EXACTLY what it was.

~Fuck! Goddamn it Strike!~

More than likely Strike heard her mentally cursing him. This only made her put on the jets. Easiest way was to channel her energy through her body to increase her speed. It had been a long time since she tried but she had to get there. She completely felt at fault. It was her psy pulse that he followed. Her connection to the ship that led him to finding it as he couldn't on his own. Run Eury Run!

[Kyrie Blaze]

"One more civilian! DAVID, SOUND THE RETREAT!"

She didn't care, they all needed to get back here, now. They could go to pick Olesya up, Damien was on the ship, they could go pick up his other family members, he and the Core and everyone remaining just needed to get. back. to. the. ship..!

She cried out in denial at what Strike did to Gregory. Before she could issue the command to have the ship fire again...the civilian was yanked inside and Gregory shut the door. Feeling her eyes burn she made the snap decision to mobilize the ship and move to pick up David, Hyperion, and the Core while monitoring Strike; next would be those at the Crow's nest.

She was about to break, she thought--but she needed the strength she had. She dug deep, down into reserves to complete this. If she didn't, they were all lost.

So once they were with the armies, she triangulated the best areas to fire at Strike's army and immediately launched a couple blasts, monitoring the ship as she knew the heat cannons were derived from the ship itself.

[Mr. Kaar]

Gregory would use his last move, in righteous explosive possibility. However the energy never dissipated, it was held in Strike's hand, however he had been damaged. He fired it back at Gregory. Destroying him.

David would save Hyperion from the damage of the explosion, but he was now unconscious. Hyperion's hand was burned and broken, but it was heal able.

Eury would shop up just in time to see Hyperion and David smashing into a landing. Strike in the distance.

Kiyr is now landing next to Eury, David, and Hyperion covering the core with cannon blasts separated by ten seconds. The Core already climbing aboard in retreat, along with The Gods.

[Arianna Barrial]

With the door closing...there wasn't much more she could do. She said a quick prayer for Gregory, needing to believe that somehow, that brave soul would make it out. She slung her pack and the supplies to the side...and in the lull, focused on the child and braced herself as much as she could.

This scared her, so much--she quickly lost all colour to her skin as her qi burst from within her core. She tried to hold back a scream as fire consumed her body...her body and the child's. The pain was terrible and she did wind up screaming as she died.

The funny thing was...it only burned their bodies. Their clothes and items remained, a bit smokey and with some ash to them...

SPOILER: Click to show

Arianna has the ability to revive others, NPCs, PNPCs, PCs, all inclusive. Many of the former rules apply. She, instead of being killed by an outside source, undergoes a process similar to internal combustion. She burns herself alive in order to revive and bring the dead back to life upon her own revival.

1. -10% from the revivee's current base stats (all, not the caps).
   (Can be reclaimed via normal means; cannot repeat any tier ups.)
2. -10% from Arianna's current stats; an additional -10% from Arianna's max cap if this ability is used as an offensive measure against someone!
   (Cannot be reclaimed aside from potential effects of Gamble Fruit or other such admin-created boosts.)
3. Arianna has seventy-two (72) hours from the person's death to revive them.
4. Maximum of three (3) revivals at one time without rest. Upon completion of the third revival, Arianna passes out for two weeks (OOC, approximately 2-7 days IC, dependent on damages to the revivee's body) and must be cared for. Her mind and body cannot take the strain and so it shuts down to compensate and recuperate.
5. Revival takes ten minutes or two (2) GM/Admin posts.
6. If Arianna rests upon completion of the second revival, she must rest for a period of twenty-four (24) hours, upon which she may complete a third revival and not pass out. So on, so forth. The moment she tries for an additional revival in the rest period, upon completion, she passes out for the time above.
7. A "complete rest period" to completely reset her max of there (3) revivals at one time is two (2) weeks IC and OOC after reviving two (2) or three (3) people.
8. If Arianna revives three people at once, after waking up, must wait twenty-four (24) hours before attempting another revival. This is not dependent on the "complete rest period" as described above.

[David B.]

Gregory would smile at the ball held in Strikes hand. That wasn't a problem for him. He got his licks in. He lifted a finger as the ship vanished, flipping strike off with much agusto.

"Fuck you. And That suit makes you look fat."

He would be destroyed in a brilliant fashion, his body blown apart in a mass of blood and gore. Body parts flew as his neck twisted and snapped, arms flying off along with his right leg and left foot. His stomach was blown inside out, and his body would fly several hundred feet. Death came instantly.

David was out cold!

Hyperion made a break for the ship, signalling his men to surround it and secure the Dragon retreat. He would drop Davids body off inside...wink at Kiyr, and move back out onto the battlefield!

[Eurydice Sudeki]

And she made it! Somehow. By the luck of something. That looked like it hurt.

Eury saw the ship landing near and noticed Strike in the distance. Decisions decisions. If they saw Eury she didn't look the same currently. She knew Strike would blow that ship up if he was given the chance. She didn't feel her children aboard and that made her uneasy. As much as she wanted to get on she didn't want to risk Strike blowing it.

~Fucking hell.~

Girl was cursing up a storm today. What a way to wake up right? She took a deep long breath.

~'Get out of here quickly'~

She said mentally connecting to the ship to the driver once more.

~'If you can even hear me Leon..I'm probably going to do something stupid. Forgive me.. Love you ok?'~

To Rai: ~'I know you're around him, keep him alive ok? Don't worry I'm just being stupid. It's my fault. I'ma try and fix it.~'

To Strike it was! As she ran she mentally reconnected herself to Strike.

~'We didn't finish talking ya know?'~

That didn't mean she was going to attack. Just to say.

[Kyrie Blaze]

A small screen showed her the damage and it wasn't something she ever should have watched. She held it together...but just barely and urged the Core on board.

Another screen flashed with light to let her see--her eyes widened at the sight of her sister. Burning. Fire.

"A-Aria!"

Her eyes flashed back to the screen as a sob bubbled in her throat. She watched Hyperion and shook her head as Eury's message came in.

"N-No, Hyperion--don't--!"

Don't be stupid!

[Mr. Kaar]

Eury gets Strike floating towards her in his original form. Glowing with a golden aura he lands near by, well... Hovers.

"Oh? I was pretty sure I got what I wanted."

[Eurydice Sudeki]

She paused standing bravely tall before him.

"Maybe. Possibly. But I wasn't quite done. And seems like you still aren't winning yet."

What was she doing? Was she trying to make a proposition or what? Did she REALLY have any bargaining chips?

[David B.]

Hyperion covered his body in a ball of light...using it to bend sight around his body, so it effectively made him invisible. His eyes read Strikes attributes...much stronger than his or even Typhons. Not that he cared. A good, quick strike could end it.

His percentage ranged from 3% to 70%. Fine by him.

He would shift the light around him and fold it, so he would teleport in front of Strike, light still around him but not taking chances...He would attempt to stick his blade in the mans eye and into his brain.

[Mr. Kaar]

Strike would jerk his head to look at Hyperion's appearing form, lifting a hand to catch Hyperions. Though the light energy pierced his eye enough to cause blood, Hyperion would note that fingers had dug into his own eye, pulling it out.

Strike would teleport some feet back now having put Hyperion;s eye into his now missing eye slot.

[Kyrie Blaze]

The Core were on the ship; she closed the door. Einrik, little did she know, had leaped on board. Even if she had enough time to release him as she initially planned if Hyperion didn't go with...he would have disobeyed, if only on that.

The ship was gone to the next destination in the next blink.
