((BELVAK))

(Howdy. Pack's ready to roll)

(Heyy I killed izayaoi!)

((PACK))

(I don't really think that counts.)

(Flipping autocorrect.)

((If I'm laughing it does))

Izayoi: Soldiers, go and spare us some time.. where's Vendetta..

( welp monique ya have another chance to get him fam (-w-)b! , and suuup! )

Pac is looking around. "Man, what a place!"

Vendetta: @Izayoi "Here sir." She says leaning against a nearby wall.

Izayoi: @Vendetta "Vendetta! You have my permission to act on your own acord from here on so you don't need to take my order, I need to find Gelvak so be careful for their crew."

Oriale scans the interior of her own castle, lost in thought. "Now.. It's far too quiet in here.."

Harley, who was also in the room, grunted. "An order to not follow orders? There's a self-contradiction if I ever saw one..."

Enzo: I'm getting a bit tired of sneak attacks.
But judging from the situation they're in, I'm ehh sure they're just trying to come up with any plan they can muster.
That being said, we should be careful.
@oriale

Yuudai: //stands in a corner silently while sharpening an arrow

Vendetta: "Very well." She gets up and walks towards her allies. "It sounds like the boss needs us to keep the enemy occupied. Are you all ready?"

"Understood. We'll have to search the castle to find out where their stronghold is. Everyone, stay on guard!"

Harley overly theatrically salutes Vendetta. "Ma'am yes ma'am! I hope I don't get stabbed this time!"
@Vendetta

Izayoi: this place can be a maze with many openings for surprise, I'll take advantage of that. "Any of my leftover mages, and archers, prepare to spread out within the castle and fire if it's not an ally"

Mages: Sir!

Archers: Yes commander!

Pebbles: "O-okay! Let's d-do this!" she says while shaking.

Shay: *sighs by harleys reaction* we are not in a contest or something, this is a battle. And of course Vendetta.

Mina: Finally we made it (So this is what castle looks like inside? I bet Lady Oriale gets lonely in this place? Maybe I honestly don't know a whole lot about the royals so I shouldn't make assumptions anyways let's kick this "save the kingdom and rid of gelvak once in for all!)
-not too far away-
Haruhi: Yahoo! not only did we help those people out with those Goonies. We get a better look in this place and it is wonderful!
Hisui: [: Remeber Haru we need to give them a proper request and ask them to let us join:]
Harhui: Right darling Hisui!

Enzo: //sips his glass of wine and sighs
I have a bad feeling about this nobildonna...
@oriale

@Shay
Harley chuckled. "Well, when you think about it, aren't all battles simply glorified contests? There's a winner, a loser, and what we are comparing is our army's battle prowess. The prize? The destruction of our enemies."

Kath and Dia start looking around the place searching for any signal from the enemy

Rubio toys with the bowstring on his new weapon and pretends to aim at a pot.

@Harley
Shay: Jeez What kind of mind you have to think all that, but well finally sanity is not your thing from what I see . * says slowly getting away from Harley drawing attention to pebbles to follow him *

(Ah, Jaime will actually join the end of the chapter officially) Finni: You lads should be careful, I feel like there's much more baels waiting for us and that first one was just a side show.

Yuudai: //looks towards Rubio
Hey kiddo
...
...maybe you should sit this one out
@rubio

Harley continued to chuckle as Shay and Pebbles walked away. "Yep. I'm crazy. Totally insane...
.
.
.
... BOO!" He yelled at Pebbles.

He looked up at Yuudai. "Maybe you're right.. I don't want to be a burden."

@Harley @Pebbles
Shay: *glares at Harley and turns his gaze again to pebbles* ignore him Pebbles , we dont need to waste energy in someone like him. Besides we need to see wheres Vendetta so we help her.

Vendetta walks next to Shay and Pebbles. "Let's be careful about how we approach this battle. Stay hidden as much as possible, and if an enemy spots you, call for backup, and I'll be there as soon as I can."

Yuudai: this isn't exactly about being a burden
We're close to facing the leader of the baels, Gelvak
He's a ruthless killer and a powerhouse with the axe.
Some of us may die, and there's no way in hell im going to let someone of your age get killed.
@rubio

Pebbles: "Oh man, this is gonna be horrifying..."

Harley yells after Vendetta, Shay, and Pebbles. "I'll just wait here 'till the battle starts! Gods know I'm not suited for stealth in this get up..."
@Vendetta

Enzo: //stops
Did you just hear someone yelling about clothes and stealth just now, or am I going crazy?

@kath and dia @oriale

@Vendetta @Pebbles
Shay: Understood Vendetta, but still please dont go all alone by yourself this time. As you say this one sounds quite honestly difficult so stay nearby, and dont worry Pebbles you have a knight over here , a fearful swordsman and well an archer nearby.

"Yeah yeah yeah you're right." he calls as he walks away from Yuudai to find a safe hiding place.

@Enzo
Dia: um,I believe i have not heard any of it
Kath: perhaps he is nervous brother , but still Enzo do not lose your guard.

Cliff walked down a large corridor. He could sense the torrent of emotions resonating from both enemies and allies, but he couldn't discern which is which. "I have a bad feeling about this."

Enzo: I'm not exactly the most tense man in the world, but ehh, perhaps you're right. //takes another sip of wine
But don't worry I'm as alert as ever
@kath @dia

Pac is happily humming a tune, while looking around the castle, seemingly oblivious to the impending fight.

Yuudai: //glances to Val
You can calm down Cliff is an ally
...and please don't starting pointing that sword at me I'm not in the mood
@val

@Enzo
Dia: i can see that *Says quite seriously*
Kath: i believe drinking right now is not the best decision Enzo *says worried*

Enzo: haha!
Relax kath, I can handle one glass
But if it's bugging you then
//dumps his wine and puts the glass away
@kath

Yuudai: Hedgehog?!
I'll have you know this hedgehog has thorns or spikes I think-that sounded way cooler in my head, nevermind
//sigh
Forget it Yuudai, not worth it
//walks away
@val

Pac overheard Val and Yuudai. He walks up to Val. "Oooh, oooh, can you give me a nickname too?"
@Val

@enzo @Rubio
Kath: More than being bothered i was worried honestly , but thanks Enzo. *looks at rubio walking around * pardon me *says walking towards Rubio*

Yuudai: //sigh
Where the hell are the baels.
I'm getting impatient.

Pac adopted a thinking pose. "They're probably just waiting for us to make a move first, so they could ambush us."
@Yuudai

Izayoi: *barges in Gelvaks room* Gelvak, the lackeys made their way into the castle i've only sent a couple soldiers to keep them distracted. We need to get everyone ready, they're very wary of the emptiness of the castle there's some soldiers ready to sneak attack in many places in the castle so i've bought us time!

Acen:What next Oriale?

Mina: Okay I'm lost and I kicked some bael already and I've yet to find something to be a concern of and Gelvak (I'm lucky I guess?) but's important to me is maybe make a small party to fight these knuckle heads (I have to find Serpia and fast!)

Yuudai: //sighs and walks towards Acen
...I still can't believe we're finally doing this
@acen

Argon slips through a window in the throne room and heads in Gelvak's direction.

He seems rather cross.

Acen:Oh.Hey Yuudai.It'a finally time.

Izayoi: Argon? Where have you been.

Argon turns his attention to Izayoi. "Well, I went back to the hideout since I didn'the get the memo that we took over the castle," he he crossly remarks. "Luckily, a couple of balls who stayed back updated me and I came here, otherwise I'd be outta 'ere."

Rubio turns around, "Huh? Who are you?" he asks the

woman (oops)

@Kath

Oops.
Typo correction:
*Baels

Yuudai: that bastard is finally going to pay for what he's done.
It's almost exciting in a way.
@acen

Izayoi: Well we're gonna need you out there, we have them surrounded, the silence of the castle should bring them further in before we can trap them. But we need Gelvak's word on what to do.

"Speaking of which, where is that bloke, anyway? I need to 'Ave a word with him."

@Acen
"I believe the Marauders retreated further into the castle, so we should follow them there- and we need to be quick, so we can catch them before they've prepared properly..." She trails off. "...after we defeat these soldiers, of course."

@Rubio
Kath: Oh I'm an ally, my name is Kath *says side smiling*. I was looking around and sawed you , are you searching for someone or something?

"Hi Kath! I'm not really sure what I'm doing but Mr. Yuudai told me to stay away."

Acen:So you're suggesting we rush in?

Enzo: I suppose that would be a good strategy
//shrugs
They might have an ambush ready though
@oriale @acen

Gelvak breathes in and exhales with a powerful gusto

"Ahh. So they are here. Izayoi, prepare the boys. Keep them in hiding for a moment, I have an idea...." he smirked, then heaved his axe which had laid against a wall, and now rested over his shoulder.

@acen
"....Yes, I suppose you can put it that way. I think it's best to strike now before we get overwhelmed." Oriale muttered.

Pebbles walked slowly through the castle when she noticed someone there and quickly hid herself. She peeked from behind the corner and saw a pegasus knight talking to a young boy. "W-what's a child doing here?! Oh man, what am I supposed to do now?"

Acen:I guess.But let's proceed with caution

Izayoi: Understood Gelvak, Okay soldiers prepare yourselves!

(I is here mah friends!)

Cylla: ///scanning the peeps

Ke'ri: ///sneaking around

Enzo: so it's decided!
Nobildonna, Lord Acen, are you ready?
//prepares himself
@oriale @acen

Argon turns to face Gelvak and approaches him. "Taken the castle now, have we? Good for you! I have one question for ya, though."

@Rubio
Kath: i can see why he told you that, honestly its not safe around here but i cant let you go alone . Hmm*starts looking around* over there! * Says pointing to a nearby shield* that might help for now but we need to find a nearby spot.

Someone came up from behind Pebbles.

"Hey, what's up?" Archer said

to Pebbles

Hitoshi kept himself along with the group, and scanned the area for anything out of place.

"I've got a bad feeling about this...." he said to himself, sword drawn

Harley hears the order, and starts to walk to the main hall, making extra sure not to run into anyone. He eventually turns a corner, and is startled by Vendetta. He whispers "Ack! Sweet cheese and crackers Vendetta, don't scare me like that!"
@Vendetta

Ke'ri: "I wonder were Yuudai is, Ah well. He probably doesn't want to see me."

Cylla: "Where are the other healers i wonder..."

Yuudai: //glares at Hitoshi
...I've been meaning to ask you something
I'm not sure why but you remind me of someone.
@hitoshi

@Harley
Shay: * next to vendetta* could you just stop that?! they're going to see our position because of you.*says pissed*

Harley raises am eyebrow. "You know, it's that type of un-comradarie that's going to be our downfall. The battle's about to start, I'm just catching up."

Pebbles jumped in response to Archer's sudden appearance, but resisted the urge to yell. She then quickly put her hand over Archers mouth to keep him quite. "S-sorry!" She whispered. "The enemy is right over there, but there's also a child with them." Then she had an idea. Say, do you think if I distract them with my magic, you could take the child somewhere safe?"

Izayoi: *readies his axe and crossbow* Okay Gelvak do your thing, i'll lure them in more.

Hitoshi looked at Yuudai

"Oh. Who do I remind you of?" he asked, "I probably know who..." he said irritated

Acen:"Enough chit-chat,be on guard" @Yuudai and Hitoshi

Yuudai: I don't think I need tell you
Your look says it all
... he killed my little sister, so please don't take it personally if I stare.
@hitoshi

Vendetta remains quiet as she surveys the area.

Yuudai: sorry man, I'll stay focused
@acen

Acen:I know it's going to be tough,but we don't want to lose you too

Archer nodded too much to be normal. "They have BABIES here?" he exclaimed in a horse whisper, and then put his bow over his shoulder across his chest, and then he puffed up his chest and said "I'll save the babies"

Izayoi: *whispers* Ah, Vendetta how are things going?

@Harley
Shay: i really doubt that would be the reason, anyways in short we must begin to advance * says running and hiding from one pillar to another *

in a deeper voice

"As hired help," he explains to Gelvak with a gradually more condescending tone, "there's one matter that is my primary concern: my pay. And I would like to know exactly when I should be expecting it, if you don't mind."

Hitoshi shook his head at Yuudai's reply

"Dude, he nearly killed me and my mother, and then forced me against my will to be part of this criminal gang with my mom as blackmail, and then tossed me to destroy a village... you can hate him." he said softly.

"He nodded at Acen's order.

Harley notices Izayoi's appearance. "Oh hey Mr. Second-In-Command." I don't think There's much to tell. We're just setting up am ambush as planned."
@Izayoi

Vendetta: @Izayoi "Things seem to be going fine for now. The fighting hasn't started yet, but it's only a matter of time before one side encounters the other."

"Shut yer trap," Gelvak scoffed at Argon, and then turned to the door and walked out.

Izayoi: ah, good we're still barely starting, Gelvak is planning something so if only they can be lured more inside..

@Archer @Rubio
Kath:* hears archers voice and stands quickly in front of Rubio, protecting him* stay back *says pointing her spear at the front*

Pebbles nods at Archer. "Alright!" She then peeks from behind the corner and charges a wind spell. She lets it fly in their direction, but doesn't aim at them directly, and it hits a wall somewhere near them.

Haruhi: Ugh it's been forever since we got in here and we still haven't found any of those people it hopeless!
Hisui: [: lower your voice Haru we don't want to attract more of those knuckle heads again:]
Haruhi: my apologies Hisui
Mina: okay I'm having the worse of luck to finding help and I keep running into Bael things can get any-worse...
Haruhi: Hey you! you're that wolf-skin we saw romping around
Hisui: Grunting
Mina: And you two were the ones screaming bloody murder
Haruhi: haha yeah didn't quite plan-*gets nudged by Hisui* oh right you're one of the nice people in that group
Mina: yeah? what about it?
Haruhi: do you think you can get us away in your group
Mina: Why should do that? I just met you two.
Haruhi: Ah um... never mind come on Hisui we have bigger fish to fry *both run off*
Mina: hey wait I... ugh the fox is right there's fish to fry here

@Andy @Timepaladin

Archer turned around and went back to Pebbles.

"Nope. There is a girl with a pointing thing." he said now crouching against a pillar with his hands hugging his legs

Yuudai: //gives Hitoshi a shocked look, but looks back ahead with more disgust with gelvak than he had before
@hitoshi

Rory spots Kath and Rubio
"Some things never change" he says to himself

Enzo: this is taking a while...
@oriale @acen

Argon spits on the ground beside himself. "So that's how it is, huh?" he mumbles to himself. "Well then, there's just one thing left to do; here's hoping the prince hasn't gotten himself bloody killed."
He twirls his sword and follows behind.

Pebbles: @Archer "Ack! Seriously?! But I already fired the spell!"

*Acen charges ahead firing Shine(light magic)*

Archer quickly turned to Pebbles "She had a pointy thing! It was THIS pointy!" making weird hand gestures

Izayoi: Vendetta, harley, pebbles, be careful, things are gonna begin and hell will start.

(Sorry sorry sorry I had to go for a bit! I'm back)
Oriale nods and raises her lance.
"Alright, now! For Avia!" She shouts as her pegasus charges towards the enemy.

@Rubio @Pebbles @Archer
Kath: watch out! *says carrying Rubio and getting away * a wind spell?! ..we need to get out of here *says running while carrying him again*

Pac is snapped out of his tour of the castle. "Oh, fight time! Wooo!"

Enzo: //Follows Oriale close behind
@oriale
Yuudai: //draws his bow and waits

Pebbles: @Archer "You have a bow! Bows are strong against pegasus knights!

...

R-right?"

Harley grins at @Izayoi. "I'm always careful!"

Izayoi: welp, let's go *fires crossbow @ yuudai* time to get their attention

(sorry andy I was having dinner and ayy archer!)

Startled by the wind blast, Rubio lets out a yip and scurries quickly to the shield Kath had mentioned.

Cliff hears the sound of Pebbles' spell echoing through the halls. "Looks like the battle has started." He charges towards the source of the sound.

Archer popped his head back up.

"Oh YEAHHHhhhh"

and then he jumped back up, bow in hand.

"Ha-ha!" he cried out rushing in

(oh nvm kath is carrying him xD)

Shay: * spotting Yuudai Cliff and Valerie* /// so these are the ones that are further from the group huh... i need to move slowly so i can get to the other side where Pebbles and Archer are*

Yuudai: //notices the crossbow shot, and narrowly dodges, then fires off a counter shot
//muttering
gods crossbows are so cool...
@izayoi

Pebbles hits her forehead with the palm of her hand. "We're gonna die... T-T"

(Rubio is running in place in Kath's arms xD)

( its ok fam x,D)

Harley chuckles. "Don't worry Boss Man, I can handle this guy."He grins mischievously as he walks up to Yuudai "And how's my favorite chocolate affinato doing? Now, what sort of intrepid trap do you have in store for me today? Did you plant bombs all over the area? Is my foot inexplicably surrounded by a rope that leads to me dangling?"
@Yuudai

Oriale halts her charge upon seeing the Archer, and throws a javelin at him. It misses and lands in front of him.

Argon emerges from the rear corridor. "Huh, seems the blue's bein' had already," he mutters, noticing the fighting has started. "I'm going to need me a 'crow's nest' if I'm going to be on the lookout," he says as he scans the area for higher ground.

Yuudai: no, just the fact that you're facing me when I'm literally right next to the lord of xalys
@harley
//taps acens shoulder to get his attention
@acen

Izayoi: Thanks soldier, *goes to find more enemy units*

Acen:*fires Luce at Harley*
That should do it.

As the javelin from Oriale hits the ground, Archer stops in his tracks and lets out a scream, and then runs in the opposite direction

Enzo: //fires off an arcthunder at izayoi
Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you go any further
@izayoi

Acen:Yuudai,you can handle him.I had to use Luce to weaken him.There'a something that I have to do.

Harley sidesteps the blast. "I don't want to brag, but I am often hailed as the 4th strongest of the baels. I'm really more inclined to say 2nd, but I am my own worst critic." Fires lightning out of his Levin sword at both Acem and Yuudai.
@Acen
@Yuudai

Hitoshi pulls out his wind tome.
"I guess I'll take on some of the brutes. C'mere!" he said running toward some in a T-Bone side swipe, letting off rounds of Elwind

Izayoi: tsk, *fires two more shots and runs past Enzo* "whatever, the more I lure the more they're trapped.." Bring it!

Yuudai: //sighs
why can't you bother him //points towards Pac
You both seem to have similar taste in clothing
Gelvaks the one who needs to pay, not some clown
@harley

Acen:Damn! I don't have time for this! *He summons Solais and charges straight to Harley.*You're going down clown! This is for the innocent villagers you hurt in that fire!

@Orialle
Dia: *Sends some soldiers flying* milady! they are hiding in the pillars and the one who commands is that one* says while pointing at izayoi*

Pebbles: "Good thing I have wind magic, which is also strong against peg-!" She freezes as she stares at Oriale, who towers above the mage atop her pegasus. "Aha... Well, I suppose I should just..." She then dashes after Archer.

(Sorry, starting drawing and got distracted.)

Are Cylla, Ke'ri or Sage needed any where?

Enzo: //draws his sword at izayoi
Lure us? What do you mean?
@izayoi

Harley twitches. "Jester. Not clown. It's really not that hard. Clowns have makeup and big red noses. DO YOU SEE ANY OF THOSE THINGS ON MY PERSONAGE??!?! Aaaaand..." Harley points his sword at Yuudai. "If you want to get Gelvak, you'll have to go through me. That's how a lackey works."
@Yuudai

Indigo comes in from behind

"The last of the Baels outside have been incapacitated, do you all need a han-" he ducks from a flying bolt.

"Guess so!"

Indigo summons Duciel from thin air

Rubio wriggles out of Kath's grip and sprints after the fleeing mage and archer.

*Acen now taunting Harley* "4th best?! You? This is child's play!"
You're not worthy of Solais,I just want to get rid of you sooner so consider it an honor!"

Izayoi: who knows, I could just be bragging to escape or I may be right, your choice. *tries to find a different opponent* (as much as i'd like to fight I just need as many people to follow me)

Whilst looking for a practical perch, Argon happens to glance over at Archer and Pebbles. "Tsk, starting to see why I was hired now." He then goes back to looking.

(well dang @stelli)

He then, however, notices Rubio. "Blimey, they brought the ankle-biter along?! What is UP with these guys and endangering that kid?!"

Yuudai: guess I'll have to preform some slapstick on you then, clown
//smirks and fires a triple shot at Harley
@harley

Cylla: ///Healing people

Ke'ri: ///killing people with her sword

Sage: ///twirling and killing people (lol @ace)

Harley barely manages to dodge one arrow, and blocks the other two. Fires a bolt at Yuudai. He turns to Acen.

Harley raises an eyebrow. "Solaris? You mean that pointy metal stick? What makes your pointy metal stick better than mine?"
@Acen
@Yuudai

Enzo: ...So that's what you're trying to pull
Cowardly strategy friend, cowardly strategy
But I suppose you only care about winning
//swings is sword at izayoi
@izayoi

Spotting Argon and hearing Kath beckon him, he flees back.

Cliff sees Kath and Rubio and runs towards them, but is too late to prevent Rubio from escaping. "What' going on? I heard a loud noise coming from this direction!"

@Cliff @Rubio
Kath: w-wait!! Rubio!!*Kath sees close to someone well known with a green scarf and runs towards him*Cliff!! i need your help!
@Archer @Pebbles
Shay:*sees both pebbles and Archer running towards his direction and starts calling them to follow him*

(i just sawed your comment jakob aaaaa sorry)

Acen:"It's Solais! What makes it better? Well first it's unbreakable

*parries*

-"Second it's one of the Divine Weapons that sealed the darkness!"*strikes again*

Archer hears Shay and runs toward him.

"Hi, what's up? I just took out some of those guys back there."

Yuudai: //sighs
//Whispers to Acen
I have an arrow that I was saving, it'll expel enough toxin to knock him out, but I need to hit him
@acen

Oriale nods at Dia and moves towards Izayoi. "I won't let you get away this time!"

(its okay andy my bad lol)

@Cliff
Kath: A spell of air was against us but for now help me to reach Rubio, he is running behind a mage and an archer!

Enzo: //surprised
Nobildonna wait! He's trying to lure you into a trap!
@oriale

"Lastly,it get's the job done!"*The white blade emit a blue aura and with a final swing shattered the Levin Sword*
"Now do you yield? I've had enough! You're simply a waste of my time."

Argon notices a statue. "Not what I would like, but it'll do." He heads towards it and begins to climb it, struggling to get proper footing and nearly slipping.

Cliff: @Kath "What do you need?"

Pebbles sees Shay "Oh thank goodness! You're a lifesaver!"

Yuudai: //prepares the arrow in case Harley counter attacks

Out of breath, he tries explaining to Cliff and Kath (otp) what had happened with hand gestures.

"HA HA HA HAhhh" Gelvak laughed over all the fighting.

Acen:"Consider this an act of mercy.Yuudai,bind him up.He won't be a bother anymore",he said cooly*
"Now I have buissness to attend to and if I catch you doing anything funny I'll have you humiliated in public"

@Archer @Pebbles
Shay: what are you two doing?! That was a pegasus knight! anyways , we need to get moving I sawed nearby the last dudes which we face the previous time close so follow me !

Izayoi: SOLDIERS NOW!

"A set of archers and knights appear"

Izayoi: surround lady Oriale and her lackey. *fires a shot at Enzo and Oriale*

Harley holds up his empty sword hilt. "You mind? I only have two of these things." Pulls out a killing edge. "And of course I don't yield. What sort of bad guy would I be if I did? But if you're so desperate to leave, then go. Run away. I don't judge. Okay, I judge a little, but I won't here."
@Acen

Indigo caught up with Acen. "Salut. Who's that?" pointing at what he thought was a clown

He puts his index finger up to his lips and forms a mustache shape and pretends to eat an apple to symbolize Argon's presence and nods in agreement with Kath's statement.

Enzo: //shoves Oriale out of the way and deflects the shot with his sword
Nobildonna you are not expendable, you have a country to save and run, don't be so reckless!
@oriale

Cliff: @Rubio & Kath "Well, looks like we don't have to worry about our young friend here." He kneels down "Don't worry, you're alright now. Just calm down and tell me what happened."

Harley grins at Acen's threat. "I'm a Jester. I'm all about funny business."

Yuudai: //shoots Harley straight in the arm with the arrow, knocking him out
@harley
//he then turns his attention to gelvak laughing
You!!...

Izayoi: Sigh, we need to get this job done and over with.

Once he finally gets his footing, Argon climbs to the top of the statue and attempts to locate any Royals. He notices Oriale first. "She seems vaguely familiar," he mutters, but then remembers why that is. "Nope, that's not a good one to go for, not after how we started off," he says as he shakes his head and continues glancing.

Acen:"We'll see who has the last laugh here clown.I hope the binding isn't too tight"

@Rubio @Cliff
Kath: please dont do that again! and uh a man? with a mustache?

Pebbles looks back and sees that Rubio returned to Kath, but there was someone else standing with them. "Ah! I-i-it's h-him! Th-th-th-the man w-with the g-g-giant s-s-s-s-sword!"

He notices Acen and Indigo. "Ah, there's the Dragon Prince. Oh, he's next to the other prince. If Dragon Boy's over there, and especially if his friend remembers what I did for him that one night, then that's definitely where I need to go."

Rubio takes in gulps of air, slowly regaining his compusure. "The mustache man-" his voice trails off as he points to the statue.

(harley wyd)

((Jfc Harley))

Gelvak makes a secret signal to Izayoi.

Izayoi: you guys handle this *jumps back to Gelvak* Sir?

"Hey guys!" *Monique walks thru the castle on alert for enemeis. "Uh oh this looks dangerous" *Sees a pack of them and begin spinning her sword wildly stabbing them and stabbing Harley in the process.*

"Hm, now I just need to figure out how to get through there." He glances over and notices Rubio pointing at him. "Uh-oh," he says, then ends up falling off the statue.

(Sorry, too much? Alright, I'll change it.)
Harley feels the poison take effect, but is able to stay awake, albeit groggily. "Sleeping poison...? What are you... twelve..?" He is tied up, and dumped in a corner or the battlefield. Harley waits patiently. "This stuff tends to last for a couple... hours... max... so then I can... can..." He dozes off.

Scarlett's stab wakes Harley up a bit. "Ow... Do you mind? I'm incapacitated here..."

Izayoi:..Understood, *runs somewhere while the others are fighting*

(Better?)

Enzo: //distracted by fighting off some of the archers
//noticed izayoi leave
Wait!...
Tch, He's gone. Mama mia, this is getting crazy

((Sure))

(Omg I mean Scarlett)
"Sorry love hope your alright" *gets Up and looks for more bad guys*

He gets back up with a kick and lands back on his feet. "Sack of crap, been spotted. Guess I'll be figuring it out as I go along," he grunts.

@Archer
Shay:*battling some nearby soldiers near archer* Archer, where is pebbles?!

@Rubio@Cliff
Kath: is that him?!*says pointing argon falling of the statue* i think someone already aimed at him *sees a solider aiming with a sword towards rubio* Watch out! * says putting hermself in front of him and then with her spear sends the soldier to the ground*

Meanwhile, Pac is taking down random baels one after the other. He yawns. "Maaaan, I'm bored. I thought criminal hideouts were supposed to be more exciting.."

Mina: Finally! Familiar voices now where to find them *runs in hopes to run into someone she knows*
Haruhi: Ah! there are some of those people
Hisui" [: jackpot then?]
Haruhi: Yeah jackpot
Hisui: *snicker sound*
Mina: Ah you must me enzo? I'm Mina I never made a proper introduction to most of the army. And you're not kidding about this going nuts. and it seems most of us splinted off after entering the castle @enzo

Dia:*fighting soldiers near Orialle*

Rubio nods. "Kath I can help-" he pauses and closes his eyes as Kath leaps to defend him. He kneels down and begins fumbling with his new archery equipment.

Izayoi: huh, he was right *grabs Rubio* sorry kid, not my choice to put your life in danger like this.

(Sorry you didn't see my message but I need rubio bud-)

Oriale panics in the face of the ambush. "Gods, this is awful-" She holds a defensive stance while trying to find a way out of the situation.

*Acen notices Argon*You!

Argon begins his scurry towards the two Royals, making sure to run on the side opposite Kath. As he looks at her to make sure he's not being watched with intent of pursuit, he notices Cliff. The world seems to move in slow motion as memories recollect.
Memories of Devina, near-death, and apples. The thoughts cloud his mind with rage as he now blindly runs forward.

Yuudai: //hides behind a pillar and finds a good shot at gelvak
Don't worry sis, his days are numbered
This is for you.

Vendetta: @Shay @Archer @Pebbles "Are you all okay?"

Oriale notices Kath fighting off the soldiers and moves to join her and try to clear a path for her and Enzo. She uses the shaft of her lance to knock a soldier off balance before attacking them with the other side.

Yuudai: //notices Rubio get kidnapped
...nononoNONONONONONONO
//looks back at gelvak then to izayoi
DAMMIT
//runs towards izayoi and fires off a shot
PUT HIM DOWN NOW
@izayoi

Izayoi: *fires 3 shots behind him* I don't have time for you *calls two knights to go distract Yuudai*

Cliff sees that Rubio is captured and Argon is charging towards him. "Darn it! Kath, leave this guy to me! You should go and help Rubio!"

Gelvak slammed a heavy blow to the ground with his axe

"LADY ORIALE OF AVIA" he bellowed.

Argon then slows as he notices the literal kidnapping. "Alright jerk, you've gone too far now." He regains his thoughts and returns his focus to his current mission.

(aaa sorry marc)

Rubio yells and kicks at his kidnapper.

@Cliff @Izayoi/rubio
Kath: i will!! * Points her spear at izayoi * release him now! * Says beginning to chase Izayoi *

Too bad for Argon his path was blocked. "I've no quarrel with you, Cyclops. Stand aside!" he yells.

@Pebbles @Vendetta @Archer
Shay:The truth is that we are barely being able to with them from this side ! *says while kicking another soilder*

Yuudai: crap
//slips past the knights and tries to give chase to izayoi
OK IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU FILTHY CASUALS! ALL I WANT IS REVENGE ON GELVAK
@Izayoi
KATH! A little help with these knights?
@kath

Izayoi: egh, archers ready your arrows and shoot the pegasus knight *continues running*
Archers: Yes sir! *starts shooting Kath*

Izayoi: *stands behind Gelvak holding Rubio crossbow at his neck*

Oriale jumped at the noise and turned to Gelvak, confused. She notices Izayoi holding Rubio hostage and tenses up. "Gelvak! Gods, let him go! He's just a child!" She shouts.

Spade is also running amok through the castle, helping however he can

He glares. "I merely seek an audience with your leaders, and not for the reason you may think. I had hoped I wouldn't have to dirty my blade before I got to him, but..."
He points his sword at her. "...if you shant grant me passage, then so it shall be."

Yuudai: //stops and sees he's with gelvak
GELVAK
You jackass!
You'd threaten the life of a child?!
//shoots straight at Gelvak
I've had enough of you!
@izayoi @gelvak

Izayoi: sighs at Yuudai, Soldiers, protect the boss and block the left entrance where I was running from.

Pebbles: "Vendetta! Thank goodness you're here! That scary swordsman that me and Archer told you about is over there!" She points at Cliff.

Vendetta: "Is that so?" She grins. "I'm curious to see how well he fights. Perhaps I should introduce myself." She finds cover and slowly approaches Cliff.

Rubio screams for Kath's name but his screams become whimpers as Izayoi holds the crossbow up to his neck.

Enzo: mama mia...
//looks at Oriale with a scared look
He's crossed the line beyond belief
@oriale

Izayoi: *hits arrow with axe* you're such a pest, be patient. Soldiers deal with him.

"Your move; let me pass or take your shot." He readies himself with a battle stance.

Yuudai: oh sure, wait my turn when you're trying to kill a child
That makes total sense
//tries to fight off the soldiers but is struggling greatly
@izayoi

Gelvak grinned, and bellowed again but not quite as loud, "Listen up, little ginger lass. You hold the balance between this lad's life, and his death."pointing at Rubio, he grinned more. "Call off your little friends, I want you. I want you to fight me, because I want to see you squirm and cry before I pry that lance of yours from your cold, dead, hands." he grinned with an evil look in his entire face.

"If you don't, the little tyke will be ripped to shreds." he threatened.

Argon grits his teeth, tightens his grip, and growls upon hearing Gelvak's threat. "Miserable, cowardly..." he mutters, and trails off before finishing his sentence.

@Rubio/Izayoi
Kath: Rubio no! * Some arrows hit her in the arms while she tries to dodge the archers and that haze that ends with several cuts Forcing her away*

Argon loses it. "I DON"T HAVE TIME FOR THIS TOMFOOLERY ANYMORE!" he shouts as he throws his sword down in anger and attempts to run to her far left and pass her by.

Acen gets in front of Argon* You! Where do you think you're going?

Oriale pauses, completely speechless, before looking back and shouting at her allies.
"I'm going to meet his demands. None of you will interfere with our fight, is that understood? Do not engage Gelvak unless he has killed me, understood?" She grips the reins of her Pegasus with one hand and her lance with the other as they slowly move towards Gelvak.
"If I understand correctly, this is one on one. You will not call for backup, and neither will I. Is that right.?"

Yuudai: //barley escapes the soldiers and jumps onto kaths Pegasus
Nononono kath what do we do?
I've waited two years for this chance and now rubios gonna die just like my sister!
I'm so pathetic!
@kath

*barely

With Acen's maneuver being so sudden, Argon crashes right into him and lands on the floor, backside down.

Cliff: "Kath!" He runs to her aid when suddenly he senses something approach him. He ducks to avoid a sword swinging at his head, then rolls on the ground to put distance between himself and his attacker. He looks up to see a woman in a crimson cloak standing before him.

Tears stream down Rubio's face as he looks upon all the carnage. "Oriale..." he breathes.

Pac watches the exchange. "..Does little miss princess have more guts than I thought?"

Enzo: are you really sure you want to risk this?
... I suppose we have no choice if he's threatening a child...
@oriale

(Hm, it seems I'm having a problem keeping up with the play-by-play here.)

Izayoi: with a blank expression he faces away from Rubio crying.. *whispers under his breath* I hate this.

(Such is the way of a busy RP, yes?)

Gelvak grinned. "Do I look like I need back-up?" he replied chuckling. He raised his large axe. "HA HA HA!" he laughed as he swung his axe side-ways towards Oriale's head

Vendetta: "I've heard about you, swordsman. You're the one who injured one of my friends and scared another one half to death. I'd like to return the favor, if you don't mind."

(No matter, such is why we compromise.)
Argon glares at Acen. "If you wouldn't mind calling off your goon here, I would like to have a word with you. And your blue-haired comrade as well."

Oriale moved to the side, the axe barely missing.
"No... I suppose you don't. Now kindly be quiet." She muttered as she swung her lance forward, towards Gelvak's chest.

@Yuddai
Kath:* while covering one of her wounds * i want to save him too! and stop saying that! we will i asure you , *says pointing at the archers* we need to get did of them first!!

Enzo: //watches Oriale and gelvak fight from back in suspense, unable to do anything to help her

Yuudai: //unable to respond to kath, as he's having a mental breakdown
H-h-h-he's gonna d-d-die
J-j-just like ryuko
Why
Why do I keep letting everyone I know die?
//starts hyperventilating
@kath

Indigo stops in shock. "Are you SERIOUS??" he said reacting to Gelvak

Enzo: lord indigo I'm sorry but we can't interfere
He'll kill the child if we do
@indigo

Acen:"She is not a goon.Answer me this,why did you save me?"

@Yuudai
Kath: yuudai focus!!! i need your help if we want to save him! Oriale is also fighting for him ! so please *says to break into tears*

Gelvak steps back, and swings again. "You are quick, but you took an awful long time to come save your people. Do you know what i have done since you were gone?: he smirked

Yuudai: ...
//stares at Rubio with a fearfilled look, then at gelvak, then back at kath
...you're right kath
//takes out a heal, then heals kaths wound
We can do this
@kath

"Why let a good man die for no good reason?" he responds to Acen.

@Vendetta
Shay: Vendetta! dont !its too dangerous !

Dia:*while in the middle of the battle with some soldiers notices cliff is battling nearby*

Acen:Then why are you with them?

Kath: we can! First of we need to first get rid of the archers , lets go Yuudai! *says aiming with her lance *

“ @yuudai)

*Reuben dodges various bael axe swings and swiftly cuts them down*

Harvey is still knocked out. He is dreaming of a girl, yet she remains faceless. She is wearing a blue, regal style dress "Are you okay..?" she asked. "Hello..? Hello?
.
"Hello?" Spade asks. Harley moans. He tries to stretch, but he is still bound on his hands and feet. He looks up at Spade. Spade looks relieved. "Oh thank goodness, you're okay... Did the baels do this to you?"

He sighs. "Look kid, I may have been hired to do battle with you, but as our encounters increase, I've noticed you guys don't seem to be bad people. I hate this Gelvak guy as much as you do, and I'd be more than happy to fight him. I'll even join you at no cost, save for one favor I must ask of you."

Oriale holds her lance up to block the blow, but the force of the blow knocks her back. She rushes forward once more to attack as she speaks. "I know enough. I know that you're a menace that I should've stopped a long time ago!"

Yuudai: understood
//jumps up and shoot one of the archers straight in the chest, then swings him with a rope attached to the around to knock another archer over
@kath

Hitoshi had caught up with everyone, and stopped at the sight of Gelvak, and then he saw Rubio

"NO! WHY??"

Vendetta: @Shay "Well then, it's good think I have a strong knight to back me up."

Cliff stood up. "This isn't good. How am I supposed to help my friends if have to deal with-?" He stops talking as he gets a better look at Vendetta's face. "No, it can't be..."

Cylla: ///watching in horror

Izayoi: tsk.. *lets Rubio run back off to his friends* *pretends* Agh?? Sorry I wasn't paying attention I saw something else??

(Nice one Izayoi pfff)

Acen:Why should we trust you?

Yuudai: //notices Rubio is free and runs straight to him
//looks back at izayoi thankful but still pretty pissed
Kiddo! Are you ok??
I'm so sorry I let this happen I was so focused on gelvak and-
@izayoi
@rubio

(^xD)

Reuben: "Cliff you worry about that bael, I'll help kath!" *Reuben runs to assist Kath*

@Yuudai @Rubio
Kath: he released him yuudai!! * Says while going fast for Rubio*

Harley grins. "Well... I suppose I owe you my thanks..." Spade looks embarrassed, "It's really no big dea-"

'For waking me up."

He kicks is bound legs at Spade's, causing Spade to fall over, and hit his head on the stone floor, knocking him out. Harley wiggles his way to Spade's arrowheads, and uses them to cut the ropes tying him. Harley stands up, and looks down at Spade. "Sorry kid, I promise I'll pay you back someday." He runs off.

Hitoshi is shocked, and starts yelling at Gelvak

"FATHER WHY??"

Reuben: *notices Kath is ok* "welp" *turns around and runs back to cliff*

Gelvak stops for a merely a second, seeing his hostage running, and then hearing a familiar voice, then looks at Hitoshi.

"You BRAT what atre you doing here?!" he yells at the young man in rage

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8qoKpo_uMiw/maxresdefault.jpg

Izayoi: wait, Hitoshi??? It's the traitor, how ironic to see you again and with them *stares* Sorry boss I was distracted by your son, now the kid's ran off.

@Vendetta
Shay: strong knight or not this still is dangerous! and you know it!!

Oriale seizes the opportunity to attack now that Gelvak was distracted with Rubio and Hitoshi. She surged forward and swung her lance.

Yuudai: kiddo are you feeling well??
Did he hurt you???
@rubio

Harley is running through the corridors, and he picks up an steel sword from a fallen bael. He turns a corner, and finds Pac. His expressions suddenly becomes furious, and he immediately runs up to Pac, and starts swinging his sword.

"I get you have reason to distrust me, and I don't blame you. But think about it another way; what wrong have I done you since we first met? I seldomly even raised my sword against you. I get if you want to cut me down here, but how am I really any different from any of the other defectors you've recruited up to this point?"

Reuben notices Harley

Rubio runs to Yuudai and Kath sobbing. As they join him, he looks solemnly back at Izayoi.

Gelvak deflected the lance but stumbled back "Hrah!" he swung his axe but it totally missed Oriale and her pegasus, still stumbling back

Attacking Pac and pairs up with pac to defeat harley

Vendetta: "Hmph, I suppose it was worth a shot, but we need to deal with this man now. He'll be trouble later if we let him go, I can tell."

Cliff sees Reuben and Dia nearby, but is too shocked to say anything.

Pac dodges the sword swing without even looking. Notices Reuben. "Oh, hey! Tubin, right?"
@Reuben

Yuudai: ... wait if rubios no longer captive then...!
//looks at gelvak
Looks like miracles do happen...
Rubio, stay with kath for now
No matter what.
I'll be back in a sec.
@rubio @kath

"I-I'm fine.." he says quietly.

Oriale pressed forward and thrust her lance forward, not wanting to leave an opening for Gelvak to recover and continue the fight. "This is for my kingdom!"

*Reuben takes a slash at Harley* "Uh close... it's Reuben and it looks like you could use a hand"

Yuudai: //sneaks in on gelvak and Oriales fight and draws his bow

Harley deflects the slice, and glares demonically at Reuben. "Stay out of this, child. This is between me and him."
@Reuben

(Well, I'm out for the night. Hope for a positive, I'll be back in the morning.)

Yuudai: //sighs
I can't get a good shot in...
I'll have to see how this plays out first

Gelvak stumbled further and swung his axe violently but with no avail. "Wha? Woah"

Izayoi: I'm not in the mood sideburns, I know you have it out for me and the big guy over there, *points his crossbow at him* don't intrude while i'm still here and fight me instead.

Hitoshi stood there watching. "What??" he said in confusion, watching his queen and his father battle

Reuben: "My lord spared you, I dont know if Ill be so kind. I suggest you stand down buffoon" @Harley

Yuudai: ...
...well I do really want that crossbow
//draws his bow at izayoi
Besides
I don't take kindly to people who trash talk my sister and kidnap children
@izayoi

@Rubio
Kath: im so glad *says giving him a hug* we need to get out of here , lady orialle is fighting right now and perhaps there are more soldiers coming this way *She says as her pegasus flies quickly away to another point of the castle*

@Vendetta
Shay: fine vendetta if it is so I'll fight *says seriously *

Enzo: //anxiously drinks wine

Harley runs up and slices at Reuben. "I am in no mood for any snide remarks. You don't understand. You are trying to HELP this monster?! Do you even know what he has done?
@Reuben

"Thank you," he smiles weakly.

Oriale swung horizontally, trying to knock Gelvak off balance. "This is for my people," She shouts.

Yuudai: //fires a few shots at izayoi
@izayoi

Acen:"You have a point..Fine.You may tag along for now..I guess I still owe you for saving my life..For now I must assist Oriale,even if it's not combat."
He leaves to assist Oriale in anyway possible

Gelvak stumbled further and was definitely not getting his balance back. "No, no, no, NO!" he growled

Reuben sidesteps harleys attack, extending his arm in front of harleys chest and swinging his leg behind harleys feet, swiping him to the ground "Im sure its not as bad as destroying a town and holding a child hostage" *he notices Cliff is being ganged up on* "He's all yours pac" *reuben runs to help cliff*

Vendetta: "Glad to hear it." She then turned to Cliff and dashed towards him, leaping into the air to deliver a strike from above. Cliff returns to his senses and barely dodges the attack, getting a light cut on his arm. Vendetta continues to swing at him, but Cliff does not attack back at her. Eventually, he stumbles backwards and falls over, allowing Vendetta to pin him to the ground.

Izayoi: *tries to block what he can with his axe and strikes back* I guess you're more of a bowman, so fighting physically might be hard for you *runs towards him*

*Acen notices what Reuben did*"Excellent!vAs for you,I'll make sure you never forget your lesson for crossing me!"

Yuudai: exactly why I brought this!
//pulls out a freeze to attempt to keep izayoi in place
@izayoi

(REMOVE THE SCARF VENDETTA)

Harley sits on the ground. He looks up at Pac, and he grown angry again. He slices at Pac's middle, but Pac dodges with ease. Harley unleashes a torrent of sword swings in rapid succession, yet afterwards, Pac doesn't have a scratch. Pac mumbles a spell name, and Harley falls to the ground, unable to move.

*Reuben flies through the air and slams into vendetta*

Oriale flew forward one last time, almost livid at this point. "And this," she raised her lance high into the air. "Is FOR ME!" She yells, moving to stab Gelvak.

Izayoi: *looks unimpressed* okay but you're gonna have to use you weapon or freeze me, you can't do both.

Acen:"ORIALE! Finish him!"

As Vendetta is about to finish Cliff off, she hears him say something:

"Jill?"

Her eyes widen upon hearing this, but before she has time to react, she is knocked back by Reuben.

Harley strains to talk. "Y...You took everything from me... You have caused so much more pain than I have... Why do you constantly undermine yourself? If you have had a mind to, I don't doubt you could've taken on one of those Happy-Go-Lucky Lord types... So... why?" Despite the tremendous pain, Harley sits up, and looks Pac in the eye. "Why do you act like such a buffoon?"

Yuudai: //runs back and uses the freeze on izayoi
//uses the time he has to get far away from izayoi so that he can sharpshoot once the effects are gone
@izayoi

Reuben: "Haha I just body slammed a bael off a cliff hahahahaha-I need to stop"

@Reuben
Shay: Do not interfere! * he says pushing to reuben by the air and pointing at him with his sword*

Gelvak backed into a pillar, met Oriale's eyes of fury, and then in a flash of silver, the lance pierced his heart. He furrowed his eyebrows, but his eyes were wide. He opened his mouth to speak.
"You... You ginger b-bit-" and then he fell to the floor.

Pac turns around, and is walking back to the main army. Without looking back, he spoke. "You're wrong about one thing, Alistair." He turns back at Harley, and smiles. "There's no way in hell I could take down one of those lords." He keeps walking.

Hitoshi stumbled forward, "FATHER!!!"

Yuudai: //looks to see gelvak is dead
Oh my gods...

(yiiiiiiis)

Reuben looks towards shay, and draws his sword. "I wasnt about to let that happen, but Ill make sure its a 2 v 2 now" *He dashes toward shay and slashes*

Harley manages to see Gelvak fall. "Heh... I sorta figured we'd lose... I wonder if they'll execute me after this..? Nah, what am I saying? They don't have the backbone."

Izayoi: Haha, took his eyes off me to shoot *goes and disappears into the amount of soldiers and goes to Gelvaks room and retreats* at least i'm off this job. Hope the kid is alright..

Indigo kicked over a bael barbarian he was fighting, and turned to see Gelvak fall.

"Long live the queen! FOR AVIA!" he cheered.

Acen:It'a over..At last

Enzo: //seeing that the battle is done, Enzo runs up to Oriale
Nobildonna are you ok? That was splendid!
@oriale

(finnaly!!)

*Reuben notices the cheering and forgets about shay to see gelvak has been defeated* "at last the baels are no more!"

Vendetta gets up after being knocked over and looks at Cliff. "You're..." She shakes her head a bit, then notices that Gelvak had been defeated. She stands for a moment as if lost in thought, then turns to Shay. "Lower your sword, Shay."

(HES DEAD)

Oriale's breath hitched and she moved back a few steps. "I'm sorry all of you had to see that..
but allow me to be the first to say good riddance." Her voice shook a bit, but she kept her composure.
"The Bael Marauder leader has fallen! Surrender now or meet the same fate!"

Yuudai: //runs up to gelvak and stares at him
He's dead...
I can't believe it...
//starts laughing in joy as he tears up
RYUKO, HES FINALLY DEAD!

Cylla: ///healing peeps that need healing

Ke'ri: "It's over," ///sighs with relief

She nodded to Enzo, visibly exhausted. "I'm not wounded, just winded. Thank you. ...All of you. At last this nightmare is over."

Yuudai: SUCK ON THAT YOU FILTHY CASUAL
//spits on gelvak
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Pac notices everyone cheering wildly, and is realizing he never had a personal stake in all this. "Uhh... Yay?"

(marc should we start?)

Shay: *lowers his sword while watching the army cheering for the avian Queen* its over..

Kath and Dia both cheers for Oriales triumph

(Yes)

Indigo had pulled his sword to point at a group of Baels, who immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Enzo: You look like you could use a drink. Infact a lot of us could.
@oriale

Yuudai: //stops cheering and sees Hitoshi
...oh
Are you gonna be ok?
@hitoshi

Sage: ///totally missed it all but sees her allies cheering so she does as well

Jaime: Miss Oriale's castle! *rushes in and runs up to the lords with his retainer* ew there's lots of bodies everywhere,,,

Cylla: "I'm glad that's over" ///looks at all the bodies "Poor souls..."

As the others cheered around them, Vendetta and Cliff stare at each other. Vendetta's eyes were filled with anger and frustration as she looked at the swordsman. After a few more moments had passed, she turned towards Shay. "Let's go." Shay was the only one who could see the tears starting to roll down her face.

Jaime: Guys I have bad news, I've had a vision and Cousin Zona is in trouble *tears up* There's something going to happens soon, and he's not well???

Hitoshi slowly walked up to the body of once was his "father".

"You..." Hitoshi started, "You... You bastard. Why were YOU my father?!" he said as he fell to his knees, and turned away in emotional pain.

he heard Yuudai's question, but did not answer.

Mikayla rolled her eyes at the young royals remark and continued to lead him through the castle. Upon finding the lords, she curtsied, "My lords, forgive us for our intrusion but we come bearing news of Lord Zona." She resumed an upright posture and gazed at them with her yellow eyes. "He's not doing well."

Harley's movement was starting to come back, but he couldn't find Pac anywhere. Finally, he notices Vendetta and Shay. "...Hey. I want to go with you."
@Vendetta
@Shay

Ke'ri: ///dusts herself off and notices a gash on her arm "Not bad, will leave a scar.... I wonder if Yuudai has any more healing potions on him." ///heads towards Yuudai
@yuudai

Cliff called out to her "Jill, wait!" but she continued to walk away as if she had not heard him. He almost ran after her, but something stopped him from moving. In the end, he decided to let her leave for the time being.

(sorry didnt see that marc)

Yuudai: ...You know, I went through a similar experience myself
And I'm not talking about my sisters death.
//sighs
I'll leave you to yourself for now though
You need space
//begins to walk towards Acen
@hitoshi

(nooooooo, not lord Zona!)

@Harley/Vendetta/pebbles /Archer
Shay: not the time * says glaring at harley and then following vendetta again* pebbles , archer!

Acen:*walks to Oriale* You did it.They're free

"Your country,your people,and you too"

(Is fine leave it xD)

Enzo: //raises his glass
cheers to a well earned victory!
@oriale
@acen

Ke'ri: ///intercepts Yuudai befor he can reach Acen "Hey, do you have any healling potions on you? I could use one." ///gestures to the gash on her arm

@Yuudai

Indigo joined Acen with Oriale. "You reclaimed your throne and saved your people, you have something to be proud of"

Harley glares, but his eyes betray him, as they look fragile. "...Please."
@Vendetta
@Shay

Indigo turned to Jaime. "Did... Did you say Zona is in trouble?"

Reuben: "Cliff are you ok?"

Acen:Zona..

Dia:*notices Jaime and Mikayla*Jaime, mikayla? oh no...*he starts walking towards them*

Jaime: huh, I guess Oriale's castle was seized from the bael, but celebrating is gonna be hard to do when there's more chaos coming soon..

Yuudai: I don't know
Ask Cylla, she's a healer
I have business with milord so I have to go
@ke ri
//runs up to Lord Acen
So... he's dead. Ryuko can finally Rest In Peace. I feel refreshed beyond belief.
@acen

Cliff: @Reuben "Y-yeah, I'm fine. It's just my past coming back to haunt me."

Mina: wait... it's over *tears builted up* *hic* wow after all those years wanting justice it came and I helped to get it. I'm thrilled for this (mom, dad, grandma at home it's over /thought/ everyone peace is there for your souls now) I just hope nothing ruins our efforts now.
Haruhi: yahoo! They won and so didn't us. Now we looked to person to join with
Hisui : nods

Enzo: hmm? What's this about lord Zona?

Sage: "Did someone just say the worst is yet to come? Gods, i barely survived this battle!"

Jaime: We need everyone right away, I can't really put it into words, you just have to see him for yourself. Miss Oriale, we can pay for any damages your castle has been brought, we'll do our best to help. But for now he needs our help, we need to bring him back to his senses..

Ke'ri: ///thumbs up to yuudai "Gee, thanks." ///to herself "Who's Cylla?"

@Harley
Shay:*glares again ata Harley while walking¨We are no longer partners or anything like that, I'm sorry but it's better that you follow your own, now goodbye.

Acen:Jaime,what exactly is happening to him?

"What has happened to Zona??" Indigo asked with concern

Reuben: *gasps* "not lord legs :O"

Enzo: ehh, back to his senses?
Has he lost control?
@jaime

Kath: *Throwing Rubio to the air and catching him while saying hip hip hurray*

Cliff realizes that he hasn't been paying attention to the battle after encountering Vendetta. "What am I doing?! Where are Kath and Rubio?! Are they safe?! Darn it!" He runs off to find them.

Cylla: ///walk up to the lords "Lord Zona? Oh dear."

Jaime: You can feel a different presence that's not his, he acts much different, you can sense this overwhelming power coming from him. I've been told. He's been attacking villages and commanding our troops to attack innocent people. Soon we'll be fighting him. We need your help! I can sense a dangerous battle ahead..

Yuudai: //runs to Rubio and kath
Rubio!
You ok?
@rubio
@kath

(lol, "lord legs" xD)

Dia: i feared this... we will do no matter what it costs Jaime to get him back, i promise.

Cliff finds them and takes a sigh of relief "Thank goodness you two are all right."

Enzo: //turns to dia
It never ends, does it?
@dia

Kath: Yes we are fine dont worry , just a few scratches here and there but nothing Xelle cant handle *says smiling*

Yuudai: oh hey cliff
You doing ok, you look pale
@cliff

Harley watches Vendetta and Shay walk away. "...And yet you and Vendetta are still partners? I fail to see the logic in this rejection... Oh, who are you kidding Harl, you're simply too unlikable for anyone to choose to spend time with you. That's it. Just too hateable. No wonder no one talks to you... I risk my life for that Vendetta girl, and I don't get so much as a hello... I was a fool to seek companionship... Fine. They want to be left alone, so be it..."
He turns and walks away.
"I never liked those baels... I never wanted what that fool Gelvak did... All I wanted was to feel powerful... And I'm taken down and humiliated by a fool with an arrow. They don't get it. None of these fools do. They think they know pain? They'll understand eventually..."

He walks off, muttering to himself.

Dia: I fear not... but my priority as Atrusian and friend of lord Zona is to go help him as soon as i can.

Indigo gave a face that showed great shock as well as disturbance.
"He WHAT? Is this true? What's wrong with him that he would attack innocent people for??"

Enzo: you went out of your way to help us, we gotta do that same. //smiles
@dia

Cliff: @Yuudai "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine."

Jaime: If I remember, I was told he went to go find someone to help him when he was with you. I haven't heard from him till now and this news,

Acen:Hmm..He'a too young to have gone berserk..

Yuudai: ...if you say so.
//sighs
I just can't believe my sister was avenged
It feels so refreshing
I don't know how to describe it
@cliff

Pac is slightly stiff in all the festivities, as he didn't know much of Gelvak before the fight. He just keeps walking in circles while looking slightly uncomfortable.

Haruhi: sorry interrupt your conversation with that person but can we have a few minuets of time. I'm haruhi and that's hisui they can't talk but they would can we join your army. Now the request my sound weird but hear me out. Your troops helped us out more then once so if we can. Can we help you and the other ? It's the least we can do.
Hisu: nods
@indigoout

Acen:Well..Let'a hope for the best

(G'night. Sorry if Harley seemed a touch over dramatic. It ain't easy being serious with that get up of his.)

(dang that plot twist was so good)

Argon rolls out of the way of most of the attack, but still sustains damage. He quickly grabs his sword and prepares for the inevitable battle...next time, on Fire Emblem: Beyond Infinity!
(Good game, everyone!)

(By the way, anyone want me to throw up a summary for old time's sake?)

((I think we're good Jon
But thanks))
