(here! I'll be playing as Cylla and maybe adding in a comment from Ke'ri, that cool?)

(Do we just start whenever then?)

The group has made it on foot and are nearing the capitol, which is standing tall over rugged mountain terrain.

Indigo turns to everyone present.

"Celine is upon us. We must be prepared for attack. The Baels will certainly be waiting for us inside the capitol walls. he yells out.

Enzo: these baels sure did a number on the capital...
//pets his horse
Hope you're doing ok Peggy.

Mina: [after shaking off the boat trip which seemed to be a very long voyage she was ready for action and seemed excited to get off the boat and fight some bael] Geeze I can see the capital yet it's so far away. No matter the case I'm ready to rumble [Before everyone rushed to the capital Avian Lord Indigo had yelled to be ready but. Mina was more than ready ]

Cylla: "I am fully prepared to heal!"

Ke'ri: "Ya ya, can't i just sneak in there and kill them? *sighs* Well whatever. My knifes and sword are freshly sharpened and i am a master archer. I shall contrubute all."

Pac staggers forward. "Ugggggghhhhhhhhh...... Who knew I could get seasick so easily..? Plus, I don't think the booze helped..."

Cliff: "Alright, time to teach these boneheads a lesson."

Yuudai: //sitting by himself, seeming talking to him while clenching his arm
...//sigh
It'll be time soon sis. Wish me luck.

Indigo thinks for a moment and then turns again and says "Oriale?", looking quietly for her only with his eyes.

Cylla: //taking mentle note on every body she knows that is there. "Are there any other healers around i wonder..."

Enzo: //turns to indigo
Ah! I presume you're looking for nobildonna, hm?
@indigo

Mina: *turns her head to Cliff* Heck yeah Cliff we are going to give a run for safety we were done! And reclaim the kingdom from those crummy goons

Oriale turns to Indigo, obviously tense. "What is it?" She asks.

Cylla: "Ho there Yuudai. You ready?"

Pac shakes his head vigorously. "Alrighty Paccy boy, snap out of it!" He managed to adopt a solid stance for a few seconds, before retching, and collapsing to the ground. "Uuuuuuuugggggghhhhh.... I am NEVER drinking before a battle again...."

^ @Birdbrain

Indigo nods at Enzo. "Merci, but it seems she has found me as well."
He turns his head to Oriale.
"Oriale, this is your home, your kingdom... Do you want to lead the attack? Group moral will rally to your passion to take back what is rightfully yours and your people's."

Enzo: //smiles
well thats perfect timing!
Ciao nobildonna, you seem to be breaking into a cold sweat
@oriale

Pac moans. "Oh yeah, morale. Got an abundance of morale over here!" He weakly holds up a fist, "Go team..." He says shakily.

Indigo put his hand on her shoulder.
"I know you are nervous, but I still thought it best to ask."

Yuudai: //turns to the young man
um sure
You should probably talk to lord indigo if ya want to get recruited or whatever.

Oriale nods. "Yes, it's my duty. I'm sorry that you got involved, so it's the least I can do.." She pauses. "And thank you."

Yuudai: //to both the young man and Cylla
Sorry. Not in the most social mood.

Enzo: unfortunately, I left my joke book at the castle so ehhhh, I don't believe I can break the tension.
But if it counts, we've got 3 lords backing us up
I'd think that'd put the odds in our favor, if ehhh that counts for anything.
Perhaps I'm just being overly optimistic. //nervously laughs
@oriale @indigo

"Not at all, Enzo. We need that optimism, especially now. I appreciate it."

Yuudai: ... //forces a smile
Where are my manners. Names Yuudai Sherwood, the Great Yuudai Sherwood to be exact, Xalysian noble and retainer to Lord Acen himself!
Nice to meet ya Keith! And who's your angry friend?
@keith

Indigo nods to Oriale's decision.
"Don't be sorry, I'm glad to aid a friend and rid of a scum bag like Gelvak at the same time," he said. "And I'll have your back."

[ with the whole army off the boat now two people come out a box from the cargo hold and dust themselves off. One being a kitsune and the other a tanguel who can not speak and only uses signs on sticks or their sketch book to communicate. after cleaning off the Kitsune asks their partner something]
Haruhi: So Hisui did we made it
Hisui *writes something down* [: I believe so Haru:]
Haruhi: Nice! now let's make a break for it and make money!
Hisui: *scribbles a grinning face*

Enzo: haha! Maybe optimism isn't the word, it could be just be the wine speaking.
I hope you're feeling well too indigo- ehhhh um, how do your people address you again? Lord right?
@oriale @indigo

Oriale steps forward. "Thanks again. Now then- we can only spend so much time out here before Gelvak notices and sends troops. Shall we?" She mounts her Pegasus and looks around. "I didn't think so many people would decide to help us. It's amazing."

@Yuudai
Cylla: Whatever than. If you get hurt tho, please forget our dissagrements and give me a holler. I'll be there in a moment to heal you.

@Stelli
Cylla: ///backs up "Woh there, Feisty!"

Yuudai: I wouldn't call it an honor, it brings bad memories...
Plus Lord Acen is kind of a nerd.
...wait his name is Mr. Cuddles?
@keith

Indigo furrowed his brow at Enzo.
"Optimism is one thing, but you can't be saying the royal retainer to Lady Oriale is intoxicated!" He shook his head in disgust, "Les dieux..."

Yuudai: I'll be sure not to get hurt then.
@cylla

Ke'ri: ///stands calmly and pulls out an apple.

Pac stumbles to Mr. Cuddles. "What a delightfully non threatening misnomer!" He attempts to pet Mr. Cuddles.

Yuudai: yeah but. He looks less like cuddles and more like eat the hand that feeds you. And the rest of him. And his village.
@keith

"I agree. You have the honor to call out the march." he spoke to Oriale.

"And Enzo, I don't care what you call me, but you better have more responsibility for your queen. We are here for her and her people, and it's a disgrace to be so selfish at a time like this." he said leaving

@Yuudai
Cylla: "Pft, not likely." ///walks away in search of beter pre-battle company

Mina: wait.. where's mortem? he was sitting next to me on the boat... Never mind Lady Oriale is right we gotta make our move before Gelvak does (to think I'm helping a Lord reclaim what was taken from her and free those who are in fear of the bael. Yet I can't shake this feeling as if there was more than the army on the boat here.. argh forget Mina there are bigger fish to fry)
-mean while back to the boat but in front of it-
Haruhi: So Hisui this is palamila right?
Hisui *shrugs then write something* [: I believe this is not the place we should be:]
Haruhi: Great. *rolls eyes* no matter we are still gonna make money here right?
Hisui: *nods*
Haruhi: Nice!

Enzo: ...oh nonono! Many apologies my friend, this isn't my first language! I'm the one who drinks wine, not nobildonna.
@indigo

Enzo: although that is a funny misunderstanding!
@indigo

Oriale nods and yells out to the group.
"Everyone, it's time we move forward and defeat Gelvak once and for all! For Avia!" With that, her Pegasus takes flight towards that castle.

Indigo huffed at Enzo.
"I said that YOU, the retainer, is intoxicated, when you have an extremely important job to do. By the gods." he huffed.

Ke'ri: "Finnaly!" ///Nocks her arrow in her bow and tosses her apple away, but not before taking another bite

Pac is jolted out of his stupor. "Is it battle time? Oooh, it's battle time!!"

Enzo: oh, don't worry I drink responsibly, I just like cracking jokes. I'm just trying to make friends, that's all milord.
Anyways, it seems duty calls!
//hops on Peggy
Good luck on the battlefield lord indigo!
@indigo

Acen @ Oriale:I'm ready to support you.So you can count on me

"For Avia!!" Indigo yelled as he summoned his sword to his hand, and followed Oriale.

Cylla: "Good!" ///secretly stays close to yuudai in case she gets attacked

(she is a healer not fighter.....)

(Ace! So glad you join! Perfect timing btw lol)

Yuudai: sure just be careful and watch in awe at the great Yuudai!
@keith
//runs up to Lord Acen
So... we're running into //ahem
HIM after this battle huh
@acen

Ke'ri: ///charges forward looking a possible ally to team up with

Pac walks nonchalantly, looking for either friend or foe. Finally, he happens upon Ke'ri. "Uhhh... Hi! You're one of rhe good guys, right?"
@Ke'ri

*Kath and Dia wait for orders while flying near the group*

Oriale sees Keith at the corner of her eye and calls out to him, as they are the only ones in the air. "Excuse me! I don't recognize you- Are you on our side?" She held her lance at the ready, just in case.

Mina: hell yeah! let's do this *runs faster to capital* (I should transform now if we are going to fight) *pulls out her beast stone and squeezes it and transforms into her wolf-skin form* [(okay so no one is going to understand what I'm to say in this form oh well)]
--back to the forest now ---
Haruhi: What in the hell is going on with those people running?
Hisui: *looks at Haruhi and shrugs*
Haruhi: goody aren't you so helpful? no matter we are so close to making our big score there. it's going to be wonderful <3

@Pac
Ke'ri: Depends on your deffinition of "good guy". But if you meen fighting for Ginge and Blueberry over there, than ya. You could say i'ma "good guy"."

Serpia: "Hm, the rest of the army seems to be anxious. This must be an important battle for them." Her brother lets out a soft hiss, and she pats him on the head. "I know, but we should help them. It's the least we can do after what they've done for us."

Pac raised an eyebrow. "Well... aren't we ducky. I'm Pac. You don't look like the type to just give out your name, but could I ask for it anyway?"
@Ke'ri

Cylla: "Now i just wait for people to hurt themselves!"

Oriale mumbled a bit to herself. "Ah, right, of course he couldn't hear me. I'm awfully out of it.." She spoke again, louder this time. "Hello! Can I ask who you are? I don't recognize you-"

@Pac
Ke'ri: "Hey! He's pretty smart! Just call me whatever you feel like calling me! I don't care!"

Pac thinks for a moment. "....Ms. Poopy Pants it is! Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Poopy Pants!"
@Ke'ri

@Pac
Ke'ri: "Like-wise i'm sure!!" ///secretly planning to poison him

Oriale chuckled at his reaction. "The honor is mine. It's nice to meet you, Keith. I appreciate your help. Judging by your griffon, you're Avian, correct?"

(My last comment was for Oriale @Breadstix)
(Hello comments from me will be slow)

Acen:Hmm,walks away and prepares for battle

Pac adopts a thinking pose. "Is that a hint of resentment in your voice? But you did say I could call you whatever... Aha! Did you want me to call you Whatever? Because that's a MUCH less embarrassing name! C'mon Whatever! Those brigands aren't going to kill themselves!"
@Ke'ri

Cylla: ///Pulls out a staff (from who knows where) "This one should do. Heals up to more than 3/4 damage."

Yuudai: //follows Acen
//ahem
Earth to Acen? You lost in thought again?
@acen

Oriale smiled. "I thought so- well, thank you for joining us, Keith. I appreciate it. Now, let's get going."

Mina: [(there seem to be some new friendships being made and some of them seem to be unnatural ugghh. I just hope I can find a team mate for some of bael there is so much I can handle)]
-- mean while in front of the city--
Haruhi: All right all right we are here before those people are now let's make money
Hisui: *grins* [: you got that Haru-chan:]
Haruhi: *opens door* Hell-oh.. my I think we got the wrong town bye~
Hisui: [: oh pellets:]

"Acen," Indigo said, coming from behind him. "Hey, are you alright?"

@Pac:
Ke'ri: "What ever you say!"

Cylla: "Acen is here! And there's Indigo. I'll go follow them." ///starts towards Acen and Indigo

Acen@Indigo and Yuudai:
Oh..Yeah,sorry about that.Im just trying see what we could use to our advantage..

Cylla: ///standing quetly behind Indigo, Ace and Yuudai, trying not to get noticed

(brb, supper time)

"Always the careful one," he labeled Acen good-heartedly. "I'm glad someone is for all of us. Have you found anything?"

Mina [runs to where Acen and Indigo are and notices Cylla getting distracted with noticing why and makes a loud grunt and deiced to put herself between her and the Lords who are on a mission to stop Gelvak] *reverts to human form*
Mina: Now Cylla I know it might be a good idea of following the lords but maybe stick with another person you might get hurt if you keep following Lord Acen and Indigo. Now I must be off *back to wolf-skin form to catch up with the others*
[while running she notices two people running not at the army but away from] [(bale, of course, it has to be them wait a minute something is off with those people *gets a good look* ah Ones a Kitsune the other is a Tanguel weird)]
-- Haruhi and Hisui--
Haruhi: aaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Hisui: [:Haru don't you have a beast stone?:]
Haruhi: of course Darling~ now how about we give them hell instead of us running?
Hisui"*nods*
[the both transform and duke it out with some of the goons]

Kath and Dia begin to fly near @Keith
Dia: I was right! it was a gryffon ryder! haha! Its good to see new faces around!
Kath: We just wanted to say hi, and tell you that you have our support!

Yuudai: speaking of which... //starts tapping his forehead in thought
...assuming that they know we're coming, they might be targetting you, lord indigo, and lady Oriale.
Especially lady Oriale seeing as they have their eyes on Avia the most...
Lord Acen do you think having the three of you stay in close proximity is a good idea? Just in case there is an ambush?
@acen

Oriale gives a small wave to Kath and Dia, then goes on to scan the area below for Baels.

Enzo: //gets ahead of Oriale and signals that he hasn't found any baels thusfar
@oriale
//thinking to himself
(Finora è stranamente tranquillo...)

Cylla: "Bu- Oh, she's gone." ///thinking to herself, I was gonna tell her i was sticking with the Lords incase they get hurt. I can heal them then and they can give decent protection. Oh well....

Dia and Kath waves quickly back to Oriale
Dia: haha ! On this side also we will support you in what we can, word of rider!
Kath:I give you my word on it too!*laughs a bit* or as my brother says "word of rider" , and worry not usually the others watch out for us with the arrows as we do for them with other enemies .
Dia: just stay close so we could advice you near enemies or such , youll be ok and also your comrade (says referring to Mr.Cuddles)

(hello lovely people, im here to ruin your day.)
Hearing the buzz of people and the serious mood in the air, Citlali took a few steps in the area and took off her headgear. She was looking around and was hoping to find her liege. "Honestly, going off to fight some kind of war against a group of bandits while I was away..." She sighed and gave a small chuckle. "He's sure grown up since I last saw him. Wonder where his royal highness is."

Cylla: ///thinking to self, I can also wack people upside the head with my staff to ya know! I'm not completly defenceless!

Mortem:looking around the area

Yuudai: //sighs
Well I supposed I might as well scout ahead and make myself useful
Let me know if you need anything, bud
//leaves to scout ahead
@acen

Enzo: //tries to signal Keith to come down to ask him something
@keith

Ke'ri: ///runs ahead to a good sniping place

Izayoi: okay.. let's begin and end this quickly. Mercenaries start your positions and the ones hiding too. We'll see how they react to the group of first set brigands.

Enzo: sorry that we're going to have to skip introductions, but since nobildonna trusts you, that'll surfice //kindly smiles
Regardless, ehhhh you seem to have found something
Is it the enemy by any chance?
@keith

Oriale notices the advancing brigands (in the open, that is) and turns around to alert the others.

"What do you see, milady?" Indigo asks Oriale.

(Oh, my bad. I'll try again.)
Pac is looking for a good ambush point. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, a young man of dubious head accessories is walking around, unsure of what to do. Finally, he happens upon Citlali. "Uhhhhh.... Hi.... Can you tell me What's going on?"
@Citlali

Haruhi: huff..huff *reverts to human form* Hisui we need to fall back
Hisui*reverts back too* nods
[Mina not paying any attention to the other people that had reverted their human form had retreated passed her and run into what seems to be the only healer of the army in hopes of getting healed]
Haruhi: Oh thank the gods a person who doesn't smell of booze and shame. do you think you can help me and my partner?
Hisui: (holds up a sign) [:we had taken major damage from those brutes other do you think you can helps?:]

Citlali stares at the oddly dressed individual and tilts her head. "Are you not in this bundle of people here? Wouldn't you know more than I?"
She stops for a second and her ears perk up towards the front of the army, hearing Oriale's warning. "I'm sorry, I have to go help over there as much as I can. You should be careful too." Citlali then rushes off towards the frontlines.

Enzo: oh...
I suppose that's a yes to finding enemies then.
//shrugs
@keith

Cliff: "It seems like it's about to start already." He pulls out his Armorslayer and moves to the front line.

Yuudai: //finds a high up area to shoot from and starts preparing

Reuben: *wakes up on the boat* "wait where did everybody go?"

Kath and Dia rapidly approach to where Oriale is

Reuben: "IS ANYBODY HERE?!"

The man looks on blankly after Citlali's departure. "...Well that didn't help much. Is there going to be some sort of fight? Uhh... I guess I should hang back then..." He turns, walks a few steps, then stops. "Then again... they might need medicine... N-no... I shouldn't get involved... Buuuuut.... I suppose there's no harm in getting a closer look..." He takes off in the same direction as Citlali.

Mercenary1: Commander I see an orange haired unit with a bow, do we take him down

Izayoi: Don't be merciful, I want half of you units to start attacking now, we need to surround Oriale and the lords somehow and get rid of their lackeys too while you're at it, unless you want you head on Gelvak's axe.

Acen:Thanks Yuudai.
Hey Indigo,it would be wise if we kept the high ground here since it's kinda rocky

Enzo: //pulls out his best tomes and his sword
Huh. So I did have my joke book after all.
...Ready Peggy?

Yuudai: ...
Dad was right I do suck at stealth...
//runs back to find a better hiding spot

"Good idea, Acen. I can mount the terrain easily, so I will go ahead." he agreed.

Mortem:*heading into the battle field*

*Reuben scans the area around the ship and notices a small group of bael Pegasus knights near the shoreline* "well that can't be good the army is heading towards the castle they'll be blindsided by these Pegasus knights..."

Acen attemps to get the attention of the army:
Everyone! If we keep the higher ground they will struggle to fight back! We must play our advantages if we want to survive.

Reuben: *very sneakily approaches the group of riders* "perhaps I can hear what some of their plans are..."

Mercenary1: "attacks Yuudai in attempt but misses"

Mercenary2: Commander we see a group of people and an oddly dressed hobo mage, and Indigo has split from their crew. Shall we commense now we have them surrounded.

Izayoi: wait a few more seconds for Indigo to split, the more lords we have split the better our odds.

Acen advanced torwards Indigo:
YOU need to stay close!

Acen now scolding Indigo:This is a siege..They're going to play really defensively so we need to approach as one..If not they're going to pick us out one by one and they outnumber us.

Pac is pouting. "Hobo mage..? Me? Some people just don't appreciate the intricacies of high fashion... I would run, but they have me surrounded.... So I guess all I can do is wait..."

Citlali suddenly stops as she's approaching the front, holding her breath as she hears acen's words. She puts on her headgeear and rushes off once again to reach the others, getting her tome ready to fight.

(The baels Pegasus knights will be simply abbreviated to PK1, PK2, etc.)
PK1: "Ugh sometimes I wish I wasn't a part of the baels"
PK2: "Pffff why? We can do whatever we want when we want"
PK1: "I know but that lord Acen is so dreamy *sigh*
PK3: "Ugh again with this you fall for every guy you see"
PK2: "shut up he's different he's not like all the others"
PK1: "You've literally never even talked to him"

Serpia: "The fighting will start soon, brother. Perhaps we should pair ourselves with someone." She looks around looking for a potential partner, then notices Mina and approaches her. "You there. Would you mind if we fought alongside you?"

Acen shouts at Pac:Well now you have to fight!

"Hey, okay, don't yell at me, alright?" Indigo huffed back. "What's the plan then? We can't all jump up the cliff side at once."

Yuudai: //dodges the mercenary
Well this is already going poorly
//shoots back at the mercenary in an attempt to escape
I need to get back to Lord Acen

@acen

Kath and Dia nods at the same time

Dia: ill take the ones from the front , you two take care with the others!
Kath: follow me *says waving at @ Keith*! Well atack them from behind!

Mina: [Mina stops in her tracks and notice a girl with a snake in her hair had asked if she could fight along side with her] *reverts to human form to speak* Ah! sure I do need someone back up mind telling me your name first, please? For now, my name is Mina Laudric

Pac hears Acen. "Alright, alright! Yeesh...." He notices a bael trying to sneak up on him. Pac leaps out of his spot, startling the bael. "Elthunder!" A mini lightning bolt hits the bael, incapacitating him. Pac looks up triumphantly, only to notice he is encircled with lancers, ready to charge.

Mercenary1: Oh no you don't "throws a dagger and follows Yuudai"

Mercenary2:.. I'm falling back for now, it heard me speak. But men stay here and watch him "Rushes back to scout for more of Acen,Oriale and Indigo's army"

Mercenary3: Sir we were told Acen has been wary and is keeping his friends close what do we do

Izayoi: set ten soldiers and attack the lackeys, we'll have them distracted for now

Mercenary3: Sir!

Ignoring Indigo's anger he replies:Well that's easy.Just move at a pace everyone can keep up.It doesn't matter if we don't move fast.Until we move to a safer area then we can go all out.But for now we'll pick them off from here

Reuben:"(pffff I'll have to tell Lord Acen how dreamy he is later, That Hoerrible bael Over There seems to really like him)"

Serpia: "I am Serpia, and this is my brother, although he does not have a name that can be spoken with a human tongue." The snake in her hair lets out a calm hiss as he looks at Mina. "My brother does not like humans, though he doesn't seem to have a problem with you. Perhaps it is because you are a wolfskin?"

Yuudai: //keeps running while laughing
//jumps over a tripwire he set in hopes the mercy would be caught

Enzo: //approaches Acen and indigo
Friends, can't we just all get along? We have a war to fight, you know? As contradictory as that sounds
@acen @indigo

@Acen and @Indigo
Cylla: "Lord Acen, Lord Indigo, I'm here to heal if you need!"

Ke'ri: ///spots Yuudai in the rocks

"You've grown quite commanding it seems." Citlali said as she approached acen, headgear still in place. "Sorry to interrupt your strategy meeting but I would just like to offer my magic to your cause. We can catch up later but I would like to see what you lords have in mind."

Reuben: "(As fun as this is I better put a stop to them before they take off)" *Reuben emerges from behind the Bush he was hiding behind and punches PK1 in the face knocking her out* PK2: "WHAT THE HELL?!" *PK2 and PK3 try to get their lances, however Reuben swiftly draws his blade and slashes the 2 in quick succession*

[pls give reuben an oscar or some ish for this im crying]

Pac looks around at the group of enemies surrounding him. He gulps.
.
.
.
.
.
"ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER ELTHUNDER!!"
He bursts out the door, with a trail of enemies hot on his tail.

Mina: Huh well it's nice to meet you Serpia and Serpia's brother. and you're not wrong I am wolf-skin *scratches behind her cheek* So are you here too to reclaim Oriale's kingdom? If I can be blunt Serpia what are you?

Dia: for Anjerica! * says aloud as he begins to attack those who lead the battalion of wyverns *
Kath: now Keith! * says says hurrying and putting behind the other riders to attack them*

(yes plz omg)

Acen:@ Yuudai and Cylla:Thanks.Sorry I'm just worried for our safety.
He notices Citlali and his face lit up with joy:
Citlali!

(Is gonna be hard to attack each and everyone so you're gonna have to fite some npc soldiers like pac xD) (I'll try to get to everyone-)

(^ That was Enzo not Yuudai)

Cylla: ///salutes @Acen

*The pegusi are very bewildered and begin panicking* *Reuben attempts to calm them but is unsuccessful* *the pegusi begin to take off* Reuben :"No no no no no! *He jumps and grabs onto one of the pegusi, He just barely manages to grab hold of its back leg* Reuben: "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Haruhi: hEY! We need healing
Hisui: *makes a grunting sound*
Haruhi: I know right
[the both run to cylla and get in front of her]
@cylla
Haruhi: I said can you heal us it's rude to blow off people in need of help.

Enzo: well duty calls
Arrivederci
//charges at the enemy

Ke'ri: ///sniping bad guys "Dang, i'm so good."

Acen attacks enemy units that approach the group.

@Mint
Cylla: "Sorry! I didn't hear you!" ///brandishes her staff "How bad is it?"

Citlali nodded and said, "Focus now, Acen. No time to be getting sentimental." She laughed. "I'll back up both you and Lord Indigo. We should hurry unless you want to give the enemy archers time to ready their bows."

Soldier1: There may be a group of these guys, but take away their cleric and they won't be healed, Gelvak shall praise me!!! "rushes in with some brigands to take Cylla" *grabs Cylla* Men take it from here and attack!

Acen:Thanks Lali.We could use your strength

Sepia: "We are serpins, though my brother is unable to take human form. As for what we're doing here, we merely wish to assist these people, as they've helped us recently." Serpia looks suddenly towards the front of the group. "They're almost here. We should prepare for battle."

Haruhi: OH I DON'T KNOW. Oh wait I do know it's very bad *lifts hand to show her bloody hand and the deep gash on her stomach and with arrows in the back*
Hisui: *grunt agrees and points to their should with a good gash mark*
[both are bruised too]
@cylla

Cylla: "Da..it! Help!"

^ @Sorakh

Reuben: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGG!!!" ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ

Enzo: //fighting off enemies with arc thunder I guess

Cylla: ///tries wacking the soldiers with her staff "HELP! Someone!!"

Yuudai: is that Reub I just heard scream?
//runs over to check that out
@reub

Mina: Right Serpia let's give the hell to pay! Do you have a beast stone too? Here's mine. Ready? *Turns into her wolf-skin form*

Mortem:*runs over to mina*hey mina*smiles*

Soldier1: Your friends are distracted with my buddies over there, so continue calling for help, what's a cleric gonna do, Whack me with your petty staff "laughs" we need the important people in your crew that'd change the tide of battle and i'll be praised and get a promotion!!!

Cylla: ///oh ya great, be a cleric they said, it'd be fun they said. no harm! lop

Xelle began to make her way through to injured people, helping them recover and seeing them off. She approaches Haruhi and Hizui. "Dear me... I thought there was one more cleric besides me.... has she not been tending to this side of the battlefield at all???" She huffs as she quickly heals them. I'll stay right beside you, so tank through them as best as you can you two.
@ mint

Reuben: "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-Oh hey look theres Yuudai-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Haruhi: Wait wat? Oh come on bloody hell now what Hisui
Hisui*pulls their sketch book out* [: Look for someone else to help us?:]
Haruhi: Yeah we should maybe there is another healer some where ( I hope)
[the two keep looking around]

@soldiers
Cylla: "Me? Important? Ha! Nobody cares about me! I'm just a silly healer!"

Yuudai: whoa man calm down what happened?
@reub

Cylla: "BY THE GODS! Help! I'd even be willing to be saved by Yuudai!!"

Cliff encounters two mercenaries. He swings his sword but one of them manage to dodge the attack while the other is flung backwards by the force of the giant weapon. The other one tries to close in where Cliff is unable to counter with his armorslayer, but Cliff pulls out his kodachi and throws it at the other mercenary, taking him out. He takes a moment to catch his breath when he hears the sound of someone screaming from above. "Is that...?"

(He is still in the sky holding onto the Pegasus xD @TheBirdBrain)

Serpia: "Of course." She and her brother transform into a giant twin headed snake.

Pac is still running, with the group of soldiers following him. He runs past Cylla, "OhHeyCyllaHowsTheKnittingThingGoingGottaGoBye!"
He get the attention of the soldiers attacking Cylla, who start to chase him too.
@Cylla

Izayoi: What is happening... Sigh.. these troops are all over the place. Send in the Axe users and mages, with a couple archers, we're not playing games now

Soldiers: Sir, We won't fail you! "Rushes in to attack the army"

Izayoi: attack the lords, we can't split them if Lord Acen is so defensive for his crew. We need that lance and maybe a few lives

Dia: nice one Keith! *says as he ends up defeating another rider*
Kath: watch it! remember there could be more fleets around.

Cylla: ///curses, should've stayed a wyvern rider, then my Myn could've helped me! Poor Myn, what if i never see her again!

Haruhi: Thank the gods' someone to help us [after being healed] ah this feels so nice right Hisui?
Hisui*nods* [: If I can ask for my girlfriend could I get your name? you're truly a life saver:]
Haruhi: My partner's mute so they use their sketch pad to talk but yes thank you for saving us! Now to pay our debt of saving we are going to keep fighting those goons and if we need help we can come back to you right?
@Xelle

@Pac
Cylla: "Oh hey Pac!" ///to bad that didn't distract all of them!

Yuudai: ok ok Reub calm down
//takes aim at the Pegasus
Wait how's he gonna get down?
....
Reub give me a sec I'll get a plan!
@reub

Reuben: "OK it's now or never *let's go of the Pegasus* "WHY DIDN'T I THINK THIS THROUGH MORE AHHHHHHH-OOF" *Reuben has fallen from the sky and landed directly onto Cliff* "Ughhhh- Oh hi Cliff just thought I'd drop by"

Xelle turns makes her way around trying to heal everyone. "Stay sharp, everyone. It seems they're ready to make their real move."

Enzo: ...
//watches in terror as me cuddles murders people
M-mama mia, that's disgusting...
Peggy don't look
@keith

*mr cuddles

Cylla: ///yells "Yuudai?!"

(Don't worry I got it xD @TheBirdBrain)

Acen:We're clear! Keep the rocky terrain at your backs and be ready to go there if you need a break.You'll have the advantage!
For now..Charge!
*Solais' blade emerges from the hilt and guard and gives off a bright flash*

Xelle hastily makes her way back to Haruhi and Hizui, "The name's Xelle. Pleasures all mine. I'll be within range to help but I need to focus on everyone." She sighed but then gave a small reassuring smile. "Please stay safe, dears."

Yuudai: //runs up to Reub and cliff
AHEM
I SAID GIVE ME A SEC NOT NEARLY KILL YOURSELF
@reub

"Hey Acen!" Indigo yelled as he cut down two arrows an archer had fired off in his direction.

"I agree we should stay together in a group. But be sure to watch yourself, mon ami."

Cliff moans having been hit by Reuben. "What on earth just happened?" He manages to pull himself up, causing Reuben to roll off of him.

"Also you should go get that archer." he suggested

Reuben: "Huh? Oh its a lot farther than it looks I thought I'd be fine ow ow ow" @Yuudai

Enzo: ...
//pulls out an entire bottle of wine from a pouch on Peggy's sattle and chugs it
... //sigh
//gets back to fighting
@keith

Reuben:"Hahaha I just got pushed off of a Cliff and survived *he begins laughing but it slips into sounds of pain*

Yuudai: //takes out a stave and heals both cliff and Reuben
@cliff
Think before you act next time
You're lucky I just learned how to use this dumb thing
@reub

Ke'ri: "Sniping master!" ///hears yelling and notices Cylla "Oh dear, she looks in trouble. I'll just snipe them...." ///reaches back to get an arrow but comes back empty handed "Dammit, she's too far away someone else will have to help her."

Reuben: "I need healing..."

Citlali blasts enemies trying to surround Acen and Indigo using her thunder and wind tomes. "Keep going! We can't let them surround us." She blasts her thunder again to an archer trying to flank Indigo.

(Oh shoot pretend he said that before Yuudai healed him xD)

Mina: [[nice! Serpia now let's take down some bael but!)]
[the begin knocking out some bael that got close to them and the two made a great team]

Mages: "start to attack Citlali and Lord Acen and Indigo while members of the fleet surrounds the area so no one can get in"

Mage1: We have them cornered commander

Izayoi: Keep them distracted we have some archer units looking for Oriale.

Mage1: Got it, "attacks Acen and Citlali, while other troops fight indigo"

(How to become one of the best febi characters in one chapter: Reub edition
As if Reub wasn't great enough)

Indigo rushes off (only a little bit) to take on oncoming enemy units, and clashes with one but cuts down two right afterwards.

Cliff: "Thanks Yuudai." Looks at Reuben. "I'm gonna pretend you didn't make that joke."

Yuudai: so
Um
Care to explain why you were... well... you know.
Being lifted by a Pegasus
@reub

Mages won't help you!-*Acen attacks with Solais using a ranged attack*

Dia: Got it! Separate that will not focus on one and will make it easier to dodge the arrows!
Kath: understood! *says while separating*

Ke'ri: ///pulls out her sword and jumps down for closer combat

Citlali follows up with another attack after Acen. "They're trying to split us up. Be careful, Acen!" She shouts as she continues to cover him and keeps attacking.

Enzo: //shouts out to dia and kath
IF YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH ARCHERS, PERHAPS I COULD HELP?
@dia and kath

"Merci, Citali!" he thanked, then confronted more enemies with Duciel in hand

The oddly dressed man continues to walk around, confused. Eventually, he sees Cylla being threatened, and decides to help. "Excuse me, don't you think that ganging up on a cleric is a little spineless?"
@Cylla

Cylla: ///sucsefully knocks a soldier out with her staff "Ha!"

Reuben:"Uh I hijacked some bael's Pegasus that was probably gonna try and flank you guys but pegusi don't like men soooo Haha. Oh I totally meant to stay behind and check for flankers too totally didn't just sleep in."

Cylla:///looks at the rest of the soldiers "I mean, sorry?"

@Yuudai

Mage: Send in the lance users and attack Acen

Lancers: "Charge at Acen"

Izayoi: While they're dropping like flies is there any intel on Oriale?

Soldier: Not at the moment sir

Izayoi: You guys make me impatient, now don't fail this job or we'll all have all our heads at stake. Send some cavaliers, We need one item before we finish this battle successfully. Her lance, at least that will appease Gelvak

Gah! Acen cried out in pain.
Damn I've been struck..No! I can't stop here! *He fights back*

Dia: We would appreciate it, so we could move forward and help eliminate the troops that are in front!!!!
Kath: we could distract them so you can atack them!
@Enzo

@Baba
Cylla: "Actually it's great tactics! Taking out the healers was smart!"

"We are nearing the walls, begin the breach!" Indigo yelled out encouragingly with fiery gusto.

Yuudai: don't worry we all have our days
Even the great Yuudai
Did you get and info out of them or no?
@reub

Citlali gets hit by one of the mages and is knocked off her feet. She winces as she tries to get back up. "If you're not giving up, neither am I." She says with determination, "We still have a long way to go."

Cylla: "Stupid soldiers! Hya!" ///swings her staff atempting to ward them off. "I knew i should've stayed close to Acen or Lord Indigo! Does nobody hear me?"

Reuben: "Uh yeah that lord Acen is a hunk hahaha" "alright I better get out there and put an end to some baels" @Yuudai *Reuben begins running towards the lords to help with the breach*

Enzo: Capisco!
//Peggy charges straight for the archers, Enzo having fimbulventr in hand
@dia and kath

The man walks up to the soldiers. "Well, I personally find it sad..." He looks over at Cylla. "I'm Spade, by the way..." He takes out a mini bow, and points it at the enemies. "I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I do know that they're the bad guys... Need any help taking them down?"
@Cylla

[after some of the goons were defeated Mina notice Lord Acen with a girl with cat ears? in need of some help so she made a little bark to Serpia to get her attention and to help those people other there]
@Ace @air-wave

@Spade
Cylla: "Well seeing as I'm a healer, you'll have to do it all but ya! That sounds good!"

*Vern dashes to the battlefield and casts his magic to take out the enemy attacking Acen and groups with him

Vern: My apologies Lord Acen. I'm here and ready to battle now!

@Ace

Yuudai: oh that's normal...
WAIT WHAT
//attempts to keep up with Reub while bursting out laughing
THERE IS NO WAY IN NAGAS NAME THEY SAID THAT!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
@reub

(VERN YESSS)

(VEEERNNNNNNN)

Upon hearing that Cylla cannot fight, Spade grimaced a bit. "ALL of the work..? *sigh..* Alright, but I hope you know how to use that staff of yours, in case I get hurt..."

Izayoi: Now listen, soldiers we this chance to get to Oriale and kill her. If you guys are defeated and we're all that's left before Gelvak. This battle will be lost even if we do have a clear number on these guys, they all have their skills and we can't lose this battle. Now fight like you life depends on it, because it does!

soldiers: Yes Commander Izayoi, we're sorry for the disappointment

Izayoi: Send a couple clerics with the cavalier, we need to ensure our victory,

(vern!!!!!:D!!)

Dia: ready Enzo?!! * says still avoiding arrows*
Kath: We can not continue evading more arrows, they are enough!
@Enzo

@Spade
Cylla: "You know what? How about you just go get some reanforcments! That'd be good!"

Citlali looked at vern and gave a small nod as thanks. She continued to help Acen as the others approached.

(We have this chance*) (i'm using a phone so rip for mistakes)

(B'DD Good to be back)

Acen notices the support of his fellow soldiers*
Thanks guys.This really helps.*Now more confident then ever before he finished off the lancers.

Enzo: //sends out fimbulventr out on the archers, then casts arcfire on the other archers
@kath and dia

Pac is still running, but he is picking off his chasers one by one. He runs by Vern.
"HeyVernNeverGotTheChanceToSayThisButThatWasAGoodMatchWeHadBackAtThatTournementItWasFunSorryIfIWentALittleOverboardIHaveTheTrndancyToBeALittleCompatativeAtTimesOkaySeeYouLater!"
He keeps running.
@Vern.

Vern: Oh uh...Right...
*He chuckled a bit but shook it off and refocused on the fight*
@Pac

Serpia hears Mina and rushes towards Acen and Citlali, but notices the enemies are no longer there, thanks to Vern. "Are you alright?" she asks them.

Yuudai: //continues laughing loudly until he notices Vern
Oh hey verns back!
...
...oh no verns back
@vern

Xelle hurries to try to heal everyone as everyone continues to fight. She finally reaches Acen, "Your wound! Acen, my gods.!" Xelle yelled as she healed him. "Do be careful, dear." She said as she went off to heal the rest.

Spade looks over to the main army. "Eh... They're busy right now. Don't worry, I can handle these guys." He fires his bow, and it takes a guard down. Another comes and slashes at him, but Spade dodges. After picking off a couple more, one comes behind him, holds his sword up, and swings down."

@Cylla

Yuudai: you know, vern, normally I'd be unhappy to see you but I'm in a good mood because of something I heard from Reuben so
//starts shooting at enemies while still talking to Vern
You need to hear this man
@vern

Vern: Nice to see you too Yuudai.
@Yuudai
*Vern takes out a couple more soldiers with his magic*
Vern: They just keep comming.
*Vern took out his sword and readied himself*

Mages: The clerics have arrived... don't think you've bested us yet..

3Clerics: This can take awhile so stand your guard everyone

Mercenaries: We can handle these 4 for now so get the army back in shape.. *is very tired and beat down*

Dia: finally! * says whille going and attacking several soldiers who are in front* Kath: its our chance!*Also attacks nearby soldiers*

Mina: I guess you didn't our help then Lord Acen if I can ask the nice woman on your right could I ask for your name? My name is Mina Laudric. And this is Serpia I just met her today

@Spade
Cylla: "That's it! Watch your right! Your other right!"

Vern: Really now? What did he say?
*Vern kept casting magic at enemies next to Yuudai*
@Yuudai

Ke'ri: ///spots the enemy clerics and searches for Indigo, spots him and rushes towards him

Sahuri comes swooping in over the main force to try to stall the incoming wave. Axe in hand, she strikes down the rest of the lancers. She then heads towards Dia, "So what's the rest of the plan? I'm ready to go, teach!"

( @airwave- were's Xavier in all of this?)

Reuben: *dodges an attack and stabs said bael* Lv. Up +1 luck "R u srs rn"

Yuudai: ok so Reuben fell asleep on the boat while we started fighting right
//shoots a soldier in the head
And so he wakes up and finds these Pegasus riders who were planning to flank Acen right
Obviously I knew that beforehand being the great Yuudai n all but he was closer ANYWAYS
//shoots another few soldiers
Then Reuben hears them calling Lord Acen a hunk! And handsome n stuff!
Even though clearly the real chick magnet is right here
Oh and then he killed them and a Pegasus lifted him up and then he was like AAAAA and then I totally saved him like a hero
@Vern

Citlali kept her focus on the fight. "Name's Citlali. Acen's retainer if I even have the right to say that." She said to Mina

Spade turns around quick and manages to deflect the sword strike with his bow. While the soldier is still recovering, Spade fires an arrow into the soldier's shoulder. There are 3 more left. Spade manages to fire arrows into 2 before the reach him, but the third stabs his lance at Spade's middle. Spade barely manages to dodge, but it leaves a nasty wound on his side. Spade manages to fire an arrow right before the spearman stabs him again. After taking care of the guards, Spade falls to the ground, clutching his side in pain.
@Cylla

( @madi found dead in miami

no hes just not introduced yet. It is not the time, child)

Soldier: COMMANDER, WE FOUND ORIALE

Izayoi: Well tell the archers and fliers to get there???

Soldier: There's a giant Murderous bird attacking our fleet getting anywhere near Oriale.

Izayoi: We don't have time to play chicken, now grow up and kill that bird and whoever it belongs to?? Send a few reinforcements for now. I don't think we can send too much of our army anymore.

Vern: Oh I see...
*Vern takes down a couple more soldiers
Vern: I'm sure this is all...err...realistic?
@Yuudai

Sage: ///Reaches the top of the hill and spots the battle feild "Hey, that's the Avian castle." ///squints closer and asseses what's happening "Is that Lord Acen? It is! I must help my lord!" ///Works her way to the battle feild

Mina: It's nice to meet you Citali I'm then ready to give you guys some help so maybe 4 working together is better? Serpia what do you think? *tilts her head*

Dia: Sahuri! im glad to see you around! and for now the plan is to teach this troops that they should better go back! Stay strong and atack!

Yuudai: just ask Reuben! Although he probably forgot about some of it due to head trauma from the fall- errrr... I mean me... saving him.
@vern

Citlali nodded. "We must protect the lords at all costs."
@mint

( @airwave- I see, it is not his destiny)

Cylla: "Spade!" ///lurches forward and knocks a couple guys on the head knocking them out.

Enzo: Dia? Kath? Do you need anything else?
I'm available if you need me!
@dia

Vern: He fell...? Some hero.
@Vern

^ @kath too

(I'm gonna head off to bed, so I'll RP with you all later. Goodnight!)

Yuudai: he jumped when I asked him to stay still ok
@vern

Sage: "Hmmm, what is the best way to get down.....?"

( @nintendartist- Would you be ok if #Sagefebi and Rueben met here? Or would you prefer them to wait till later? Cause i can have Sage just totally miss him some how.)

Sahuri nodded and smiled at Dia "You be strong for me too, teach!" She said as she flew off with Altheia. She continues to strike down anyone in her way, getting cuts and bruises along the way.

Spade groggily stands up, still clutching his side. He looks over at Cylla. "See..? Told you I could handle it.." He wobbles a bit, then falls again, but manages to prop himself up against a wall."

(last thing for me as well )
Mina: you got it Citali *grins*

Vern: I guess that is a fair reason.
@Yuudai

Yuudai: ...this is taking a while
Wish we could just run up and kill the commander
@vern

Cylla: ///free now she heals Spade "There, right as rain! Thanks" ///heads towards the main battle and starts healing

Ke'ri: ///spots Yuudai and Rueben "What are they doing? I'll go see if they need help." ///heads to Yuudai
@Yuudai

(I think it would be best to wait for them to formally meet until after this battle, there wouldn't be a lot of time to discuss the village at this part) @MadiRainedDown

Vern: Agreed Yuudai.
*Vern took down another soldier
Vern: I'm getting exhausted...
@Yuudai

Dia: O-OF COURSE! Be careful and I'll cover you! * says folloving Sahuri and blocking atacks towards her*
Kath: * still battling nearby units*

Cleric: *see's Cylla* Does she think she can heal better than me?? *approaches Cylla* Hey, what do you think you're doing healing them-

Enzo: Katherine
//joins in fighting nearby units
Have you seen nobildonna anywhere?
I'm getting a bit worried
@kath

Spade leans his head against the wall. "Thanks..? I take down 6 people at the cost of my own well being, and all I get is a "Thanks"? Heh... what did I expect, anyway? A kiss? Bleh, I think I should at least know her name first. Ah, well Spade, you know what they say. Heroism is it's own reward. Where was she in such a hurry to get to anyway?" He goes in the same direction as Cylla, and finds the main battlefield.
"....Oh."

Yuudai: ...are we getting along?
@vern

Kath: i believe Keith was nearby her ! Im sure shes alright , Keith does have a lot of experience from what we sawed ! * looks a nearby enemy behind him* watch out! @Enzo

Vern: I dunno...are we?
*Vern was starting to question his life choices again
@Yuudai

Soldiers: *still fighting Vern and yuudai* there's too many skilled. Fighters, I don't know if we can keep going like this..

Mage: We need to keep buying time but there's someone protecting Oriale and it's just one person.
Cavalier: We'll go after the griffon rider

Sahuri nodded, "We just need to get them away from oriale right?" She asked Dia, "We're an unstoppable team, Dia, let's go!" She began to tear through the incoming pegasus knights with Altheia crunching on their wings so Sahuri can attack the rider, leaving them to crash to ground in the end.

Enzo: oh, thanks!
You have a very nice swing!
...and yeah I saw
That griffon might just be the most brutal thing I've ever seen next to nobildonna when hades tried hitting on her! Ba-dum-tssh!
//zaps people while laughing at his own joke
@lath

* @kath

Spade wanders the battlefield, taking down stray baels for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, Pac has finally shaken off his last pursuer.

Yuudai: should we protect Oriale?
I mean we aren't her retainers but it's the right thing to do so...
@vern

Finni: *Is eating food with Jaime* Jeez, things are sure looking like a hell hole lad

Jaime: Ooh, is there still more apple juice

Finni: Yes, now hopefully everyone is hungry later *sighs*

Vern: Yes, We must. They are just as important as Lord Acen.
*Vern took town a few more soldiers

(Well Oriale just kinda ceased to exist while I was asleep, oops. Let's see if I can catch up..)

(When do we start again?)

((Hii everyone sorry I been supa busy with online school and I checked colors and I saw this post and was like o my jeebus I have to join! xD) *Scarlett is plowing her fields on her tractor when all a sudden she hits something and she is sent flying off and lands into the arms of handsum colorful mage with grey hair. She looks up at him her green eyes sparkling like emeralds. He looks down at her like he has just saw an angle @Pac*

(Uhh, were you plowing your fields in the middle of a battlefield XD? 'Cuz that's where Pac is... Also, and this is really a nitpick, but I don't think tractors have been invented yet...)

(Oops how embearassing sorryy. Lets say she is plowing nearby (not on her tractor xD) and heard the battle and went to check it out. She still meets Pac tho)

Pac notices Scarlett gazing at him. He gets slightly nervous, but walks up to her. "Uhhh.... Howdy. Can I help you?"
@Scarlett

*Gets up and brushes the dirt off her skirt* "U-um.." *nervous to speak to this cute stranger* "My name is Scarlett I own a farm over there and I heard all this noise. "Whats going on?"

@pac

Pac: "Oh, well see this town was taken over by a bunch of bandits who call themselves "Baels". I'm here with the true monarch, and a bunch of allies, and we're fighting to restore this place to it's rightful ruler. Oh, and I'm Pac, by the way. You say you own a farm? Then you should probably return there, we can take care of this. Unless..." He looks at Scarlett, you wouldn't happen to know how to fight, do you?"
@Scarlett

Pac turns to Yuudai. "I'm evacuating and/or recruiting civilians over here!"
@Yuudai

Yuudai: Are you actually trying to make some random unarmed little girl fight with us-
@pac

"Well of course I know how to fight!" *blushes and takes out her sword* "Just tell me where to go and it shall be done *bows and smiles*

Pac smiles smugly at Yuudai. He turns to Scarlett. "There's small group of rookie bandits over there. Think you can handle them?"
@Yuudai
@Scarlett

Oriale flies down to attack some mercenaries, then proceeds to take to the skies again. She notices the dwindling numbers of Baels and yells to her allies below. "Now's our chance- we need to force the commander to surrender to get inside the castle. Focus your attention on him!"

Enzo: Nobildonna!
Before that
Could you try flying lower so I can stay near you
I ehh believe it's safe to stay alert since they're so desperate to kill you
@Oriale

"I-it would be my honor!" *sprints to the bandits and slices and dices at them k.illing them instantly within seconds.*

Yuudai: //quickly climbs up the castle walls and finds a good sniping position
I swear if I get caught AGAIN I'm gonna be pissed

Pac is dumbfounded at Scarlett's fighting prowess, he pauses for a few seconds. "...Alright, good stuff! So... just keep doing that, and just holler if you need anything!"
@Scarlett

Oriale nods and flies closer to Enzo. "That's a good idea. Thanks for the concern, Enzo."

Reuben: *slashes sword*

Enzo: ah ciao Keith!
I presume you and signore cuddles are ready?
@keith

The group breaches the walls and are now in the capital.

Reuben: *Slashes sword now in the capital*

Enzo: //looks upon the capital in ruins
M-mama mia... what have the done to the capital...
Those disgusting brutes...
@oriale
@keith

(xDD nintenartist) *Yelling to Pac* "Alright Pac" *think to self.* "Pac... what a nice name."

Pac enters the ruined capital. "Well... This place is a bummer. Guess we should drive out those bael guys sooner rather than later."

Enzo: I thought I was prepared for this but
Just seeing a place you got to know so well like this is just...
...
Regardless I'm sorry you had to be a victim of this.
@keith
Nobildonna you're holding up well, right?
//looks towards Oriale in concern
@oriale

Yuudai: //thinking to himself
(the capital... if I'm a betting man, I'd wager gelvak and his man are who await us once we get rid of the command
...
Looks like it's almost time, Ryuko.)

*men

Oriale nods, but is more focused on the state of the capital.
"Gods... It's worse than I thought."

"Milady, we must be careful of ambush. We are in the city walls now." Indigo warned Oriale.

Izayoi approaches the front and spots Yuudai, Reuben and others getting too close.
"Enough with games, soldiers get rid of this plague"
He readies his crossbow, takes aim for Oriale and fires a bolt.

Enzo: //tries to force a smile and turns to indigo
Don't worry, we're on top of it. Grazie.
But try to stay close by yourself, capiche?
//gives a thumbs up
@indigo

Enzo: //immediately jumps up in shock and fires an arcfire at the bolt
@izayoi

The bolt doesn't stop, the flames seem to be following it now as it pierces through the air

The bolt flies through the fire, now beaming hot, and lands into Indigo's left shoulder, who blocked it from Oriale.

"GAHH!" Indigo roars

Izayoi squints his eyes in displeasure
"Damn it"
He readies his crossbow to fire a second time

*Scarlett screams as she sees a flying bolt go straight into a blue dude*

Enzo: no you don't
//charges straight for izayoi, sword in hand
@izayoi

"We are even... now....Get.... that.... connard." Indigo said with gritted teeth to Oriale. "I'm fine." siad still in pain.

Oriale jumps and braces for impact, only to see Indigo take the blow for her. "INDIGO! Gods, not now!" She gets in front of Indigo and turns to Enzo. "Enzo, get him to a healer. Xelle, or Cylla, or someone! I'll take care of this myself." As soon as she finishes, Aurora flaps her wings and they fly up to get out of Izayoi's aim.

Yuudai: Jeez that looks bad
//shoots an arrow with a string and uses his bow to zip line down to indigo
Hey I got a heal don't worry lord indigo
@indigo

"Oriale, DON'T stand here, that is a real marksman and I'm bleeding so you don't, so GO." Indigo pleaded Oriale.

Mina: good gods these goons sure gave me a workout but finally we made it to the walls [with saying that she takes attention to Lady Oriale about to be hit with an arrow in the sky. Mina only feared for the worse but knew she needed to help]

Enzo: understood nobildonna
Be careful
...lord indigo are you doing alright
I'm terribly sorry.
@indigo

"I just need a vulnerary..." he admitted, to Enzo.

Yuudai: //takes out a heal and uses it on indigo
Dude was that a crossbow? That's totally badass! ...er- I mean
That's horrible how dare he
@indigo

Oriale looks where Keith pointed, and sees Izayoi taking aim again. She flies towards him, lance ready.

Izayoi takes aim a second time now Aiming for the incoming flier.
"I'm not taking any more chances, the end has come"

Yuudai: Hey um
Just for the record when Oriale kills that guy I call dibs on the crossbow!
Just so we have that settled!

Enzo: //casts an arcfire near him, causing a blast to throw off his aim
@izayoi

Pac saw the whole spectacle. "My... How comradely... Alrighty then, I s'pose I should help." He heads towards the direction of Izayoi.

--somewhere in the battle field behind some trees Haruhi and Hisui have talk which is plan--
Hisui: [: I've thought of this for while since we had gotten here and it's about those people with those colorful outfits. they've been helping us since we got here, healing our injuries and having our backs every step of the way. even though they don't know us at all:]
Haruhi: Yeah... you're right about that so what are you suggesting we do then?
Hisui: [:We join their cause and stick with them to the bitter end:]
Haruhi: And make money off of them
Hisui: [: yes we'll make money off of them:]
Haruhi: *giggles* yes

"I'm still hurt, but it's better. Thank you, um... We haven't met," he realized, speaking to Keith.

Izayoi slides out of the way of the fire attack and fires at Oriale

Yuudai: //starts climbing up to where izayoi is so he can get that crossbow with a gleeful look on his face

Cylla: "Anybody need healing!? Its important to be healed asap if you get hurt!"

(Here may keeps!)

Oriale narrowly dodges the arrow, losing her balance and stopping her momentum. She takes a minute to recollect herself before trying to close the gap between her and Izayoi again.

Yuudai: //shouts while climbing
LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT CYLLA
@cylla

Ke'ri: "Crap, I'm out if arrows! Anybody have arrows they can trade with me!"

"Well met, Keith. I am Indigo of Valon. Unfortunately we do not have the time for pleasantries, hopefully after all this. But thank you for shielding me," he thanked Keith, then turning to Mr. Cuddles, "I know you are susceptible to arrowfire, I thank you too."

Cylla: "Shut up Yuudai! What's that paper on the back of you?" @Yuudai

(Yuudai crumpled up that paper a while ago lmao)

Pac walks by Cylla. "Sorry, but a little late on that offer. I'm afraid that *shudder* Yuudai had to do your job."
@Cylla

Ke'ri ///snickering in the background @yuudai

he also shook Keith's hand, as well.

Izayoi notices Yuudai screaming at Cylla and jumps to another vantage location

Cylla: "Well you know what, its not my fault I got captured and nobody came to rescue me!"

Yuudai: GODS DAMMIT CYLLA I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET IZA-ER I MEAN, THAT RANDOM PERSONS CROSSBOW
//sighs
@cylla

(No, she put on another one then)

Cylla: "What are you talking about! And quit yelling will ya!" @yuudai

Yuudai: //ignores Cylla and goes to persue izayoi, shooting an arrow at him while doing so
@izayoi

Spade happened to be near the vantage point Izayoi jumped to. "Oh, hello! I like your crossbow!"
@Izayoi

Cylla "I heard Lord Indigo got hurt. Is he OK?" @Yuudai

Cylla "Yuudai healed him? Oh dear. Maybe I should check on him just in case..." @Keith

Enzo: //with Keith
//laughs
He's all good for the moment, friend
No need to fret!
@cylla

Cylla: "Whatever you say! I do want someone to see him later though!" @Keith

Izayoi slashes the arrow and swings his axe at spade to keep him at bay
"Have all our forces really fell already? We are so close"

Ke'ri: "Hmmmmmmm"

Yuudai: yup
You should probably retreat while you can
Although gelvak probably wouldn't be happy about that would he?
//smirks and fires another arrow

@izayoi

Sage: ///uhg, why did an armor slayer, it gets so heavy. Laughs at herself, who am I kidding. Hefts up her sword

Cylla: "mmmmk, Are then any other healers around! Besides Yuudai.)

(*?)

Spade jumps back at the axe swing. He takes out his bow, and points it at Izayoi. "I take it you're a bad guy then... Alright then. I'm pretty sure you're surrounded, so I'd give up if I was you..."
@Izayoi

Izayoi slashes down Yuudai's arrow without effort.
"You and your sister must know how... temperamental he can get, owl."
Ge stops to analyze the situation

Oriale closes the gap between her and Izayoi. She raises her lance towards his chest. "You're cornered. Surrender and let us pass, now."

Cylla: "Well I also got captured so I was a little busy. Good thing she was here though!"

*Acen walks to Oriale just incase Izayoi retaliates

Izayoi stays stoic.
"You'll have to kill m-"
He's interrupted as the gates of the castle open
"What the... it seems that Gelvak run out of patience"
Izayoi drops his battle stance and enters the castle

Cylla: "I know, but they came up from behind and nobody was around me. I'm not used to being a cleric, I was a wyvern rider before." @Keith

Yuudai: ...
...heh
Don't worry you'll get to see how tempermental I can get when I lodge an arrow into your skull
//runs straight towards izayoi in anger
@izayoi

[Stage Complete]]

[Chapter End]

Cylla: ///face palm, thinking to herself, I didn't leave the party I just stayed behind to be safe, ah well

Yuudai: //stops to see izayoi got away
... //grinds his teeth in anger

Cylla: First battle as a cleric and things to great! *sarcasm*

Ke'ri: "It's over? Good." ///pulls out an apple and eats it

Pac looks over at the castle. "Whelp. Only one thing left to do."

Sage: "Woooo! I survived!"

(Lmao guys there's going to be a chapter soon after chill)

Lol

(Sorry I didn't refresh the page so I didn't see the end)

*Screams in anger and throws her sword at izayoi* "Dear Naga guide my sord.." *The sword travels through the air and hits Izayoi through the heart*

(He's dead now ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ )

(Wow, battle over. That was easy. For the sake of continuity though, let's just not do that)

Wow man... Yeah sorry I kinda dropped off the face of the earth. XD How's it been? I just saw my 3ds one day and decided it was time for me to try to come back. I really missed this place ya know? Nice to see ur still active here.
