Your destruction is the will of the gods! And I? I am their instrument! Salem nodded to his first comment as they waited, but shook his head to the question about his weapon.
" My blade is not a tool for war, I'll not use in a fight I chose to join. Ill only be using my powers for this, fitting for a last stand. "
It occurred to Salem that this man Straven might have planned to walk away from the battle they were about to enter... Salem had a feeling that might not be the case for him, he left his cane and a letter for Vivi behind, explaining his actions. A messenger boy had been arranged to pick it up the next day and take it too her.
Salem shook his head again." So to answer your question, yes, I have a weapon. But if I am to be hunted down as an animal, I shall fight like one, hand and tooth. " He perked up his head hearing the claning patter of metal boots on the cobblestone streets. Salem stood on the side of the doorway and looked to Straven, the others should be far enough away by then.
Salem smiled.
" And so, it begins."

(( Few more minutes then. But let's do this fast ))
Straven didn't want to walk away. He wished to come out of here alive though.
He cracked his knuckles, and the sparks came from him.
He ripped the cape from his neck, and grabbed the handle of the sword wich was completely made of steel firmly.
"So it begins indeed" he said.
He saw a shade coming trough the smoke. Which began to fade slowly (the smoke.)
He jumped up and kicked the heavy guard back. He flew into another guard.
Running towards another, He slashed one that tried to attack him from the side. The touch of the sword with the armor inmediatly sent a shock trough the knight's body. Making a flip, he landed on the guard that was trying to crawl back up from the kick, with Straven's boot pointed to the helmet.
6 archers appeared at the Roofs of various buildings in this street. Firing flaming bullets at the guards.
The guards became less concentraded.
Straven jumped back a few times and landed next to Salem.
"Shocking, Ain't it?"

Your destruction is the will of the gods! And I? I am their instrument! Salem smiled, at a different time he may have found this man Straven a good companion.
" Works for me."
Salem darted out from the doorway and lunged strait into the air Landing with a thump, his knee's on a guard's shoulder's and chest. His momentum carried the man to the ground where Salem grabbed his helmet. As he pulled it off the man's head and tossed it aside, it rusted where his hand had gripped it. He leaned down and kissed the man gently on the forehead. In the blink of an eye the man was devoid of life, a shattered husk, his skin taunt to his face, a black lip print on his forehead.
Salem charged forward, only to meet a blade to his abs. The sword plunged strait through his body and out his back. The guard sneered at him through his helmet. Salem smiled and pushed himself to the hilt of the blade and grabbed the man's face from under the man's helmet. The man's grip loosened as his body dropped limp to the floor.
Salem had just drawn the blade out of himself when another stuck him in the neck just above his shoulder, it sank in diagonally about six inches until its progress halted. The same black Ooze Salem carried withing him slid up the length of the blade until it brushed the man who held its hand's.
He let out a faint yelp as he dropped to the floor.

Just as he had said, Cobra waited five seconds after the initial distraction, the rumbling of the rooftop becoming louder and more vigorous until finally he shot his hands forward in front of him. In an instant shingles from the roof all around them shot forward and began to build a narrow bridge between the buildings, each shingle building onto the next creating a 2 foot wide bridge from where Cobra stood to the next roof and continuing forward. As the bridge reached the next house, the shingles there automatically began rumbling and shaking, falling off themselves and rearranging to continue the bridge, eliminating the slant of the roof and continuing on, forming a bridge to the next roof and so on and so on...it would appear that Cobra had spent all of the waiting time preparing for this and making the proper connections.
"Let's go!" , Cobra immediately sprinted forward as the shingles still continued to gather down the way. He showed complete faith in his narrow, seemingly weakly constructed bridge, and rightfully so as the shingles bore his full weight with no problem whatsoever as he bolted forward, already reaching the second roof and making his way forward to the sewers.

Allure grabbed hold of Sam then followed Cobra with a bit of a struggle as she limited her power so she would not reveal her demon skin. She kept pace well though. Her eyes were the only thing that changed as they journeyed. They did not turn completely white but did become considerably lighter.

Havessa followed closely behind Allure and Sam, ready in case Allure over exerted herself again. She didn't know the girls limitations, so she would stay on guard to catch them if they would fall. This man, Cobra, seemed to have outstanding abilities. Havessa wondered just to what extent he could use them. The narrow path made Havessa feel slightly uneasy from the height, but now was not the time to worry about that. She managed to quickly pin up her dress in front a foot or two to better able her to sprint with the rest of them. She could hear the heavy breaths of a few in the group, moving faily fast to compensate. But something in her mind told her to take slow deep breaths as she ran, and she found this greatly kept her from becoming winded and fatigued. A runner's trick of the trade? But the only knowledge of that sort of thing, especially as a sport, was in Greece. But Havessa has never been there, so how did she know that? Shaking her head slightly, she just cleared the sixth building with the group. 5 blocks total...that was a lot longer than it seems. There was at least 10 buildings per side on each house. Havessa could feel her adrenalin beginning to rise from this escape, and also...the same feeling was beginning to occur from when she fell off the roof that other time.
Looking down momentarily, Havessa took notice to multiple guards on the streets, they were all looking over towards the safe house they had just escaped from. She prayed that none cared to look up.

" To think... I almost missed the feeling of the wind in my hair..." Sam muttered and chuckled lightly. *** Erin ran, unthinking, un-swerving as she dashed across the narrow path, keeping pace with Cobra. She shook her head and looked at the man " what exactly is the plan? Or are we just going to trust to luck?" she asked as she kept running, begining to get slightly ahead of Cobra now.

Ace waited for everyone to cross atleast two houses before he himself started dashing over them. Cobra had told him to wait, and warn him if something went wrong. And so he did.
The narrow paths were suprisingly well built. Ace trusted that they'd make it to the sewer...But then what?

As the smoke completely vanished. The knights saw who these 'Monsters' really were.
'It's Straven! Get him!' one of the knights shouted.
Another shouted 'Let's get this other one first!'
Straven quickly charged and jump-kicked a man that was about to attack Salem. Throwing a small lightningbolt at another. He quickly slashed his electrified sword at one that tried to attack him from behind.
He did a few flips backwords.
This man..Salem. It almost looked as if he couldn't die. 'Not someone you'd want as an enemy..' Straven thought.
Dashing forwards again, slashing his sword infront of him on the way. He hit a few knights. Turning back, he did the same.
He then jumped on one of the roofs, and reloaded his gun.
Then he jumped back, and landed on top of a knight's shoulders.
The knight nearly fell, but managed to stay on his feet. Straven now shot another knight from this angle. And holstered his pistol again. He then broke this knight's neck with his feet.
He didn't like to kill. Especially not this much.
But somehow he enjoyed this. These guards. They made it nearly unable for him to live. With, or without his mask.

Allure surpressed a laugh as Sam spoke and smiled slightly. She couldn't afford to waist her breath though. Holding back her power was truely becoming a nuisance as something as simple as carrying one person at sprinting speed was proving difficult. She exerted more force and sped slightly as she felt they were approaching their destination. She couldn't waste time. She needed to explain what DeLeon was and find some means of getting there.
HEr breathing was somehow steady and she hadn't slowed but balance was an issue as she was on a narrow path while carrying another person. Still, she managed fairly. Her skin was beginning to change slightly as she increased force to keep pace. She knew it was also decreasing temperature and hope Sam hadn't come in contact with it.

"Oi! What's happenin!?"
Gloryrness shouted. Jumping to see what was happening.
He noticed the fighting knights, But could not see any monsters.
He saw two people though. Altough, One seemed a bit like the undead.
And, he noticed a few archers on top of a roof.
The undead man catched Gloryrness' attention. Would this be why he as re-awakened?
Was this the big chaos?
Watching how the two slayed a large amount of knights, Gloryrness could do nothin. He could simply not get trough this large group of knights. They were standing too close together. Even too close for a dwarf.

Cobra continued forward in his sprint, looking towards Erin with a passing glance as she caught up with and passed by him, a sight he was not used to seeing as he was pretty fast himself..."Interesting...that she would be so fast, and to pass me...". As they passed the third house and rounded the corner, Cobra turned his head slightly and held a hand out behind him as the shingles from the first bridge created moved back where they came from, leaving no trace of their movement over the rooftops, he would repeat this for all the bridges as soon as each member was across. "Luck does not exist in my world little girl. If you're depending on luck for anything, you aren't thinking enough. Trust me, as soon as I can get everyone underground, no one will be able to find or follow us, and even if they do, earth and stone are my element and not theirs...they would have no chance in capturing us. We can determine a plan from there."
...rounding the last house, Cobra looked back, closing off the bridges as people moved across them. everything was being executed perfectly. At the last house, right before the alleyway, Cobra came to the edge of the building, where the bridges stopped and leapt down without a moment's hesitation. As his feet hit the ground, he sent a slight shock wave through the earth and the street practically rippled from the effect, creating a gentle, almost pillow-like consistency to the ground for the others to descend onto. Just a few feet away, there was a manhole cover. Running over, Cobra found a finger hold and pried the heavy metal out of the circle with a bit of effort, dragging the circle off to the side to give as much room as possible for people to get in. He waited quietly for the others to come, looking around cautiously for any sign of the guards...this was when they were most vulnerable. Hopefully, the others would be quick to get in.

Ace quickly jumped to the last roof as the bridge closed behind him.
Waiting for everyone else to get down, He too jumped from the building, landing in a roll.
Holding the lid/cover open, He gave Cobra a nod.
"Thank you." He said.
Waiting untill everyone was down too. Including Sam, who took a bit longer then the others because of his leg.
Once Ace was down too, He sat down.
"Phew"
he said. "Who'd have guessed we'd make that without being seen?"
(( I have not mentioned that Cobra was in yet. I'll leave that up to him ))
(( Sorry for taking minimum use of all your characters. But this way the story can go on. ))
