Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sakura had used an technique passed down through the family to fireproof her jeans, bandanna and t-shirt, but as far as she was concerned about the collared shirt she wore over it, she used the fiery mass for full effect. The first man managed to out step her charge, but it didn't stop her from landing in a roll and pushing off with her hands to catch the guy's head right between her thighs.

Before you get all naughty thoughts, though, she used her momentum to whip around his body, going into something of a handstand before tossing him by his neck with her legs over her body. In other words it was some sort of bizarre release suplex. Using legs.

She rolled back up to her feet, looking towards the next man as the first presumably broke his neck or spine or something.

Oh man, that guy got owned.

Another one rushed at her with a knife when she was getting up.

Sakura looked towards the guy rushing her, planting her sword into the ground as she got up and rushing towards the guy as they ran towards her. At the last second she ducked down, grabbing him by the ribs and throwing her above her head. "Flapjack!"

Right when he belly-flopped on the ground, she backflipped onto him, knocking the wind out of him for the long haul this time. "Moonasault!" Watching all that TV actually paid off. Who knew? She rolled backwards and pushed off her hands to her feet, grabbing her sword. "Who's next?"

Sakura was waiting for one of these guys to pull out a gun and then throw it at her when the bullets missed. Or hit and she was still standing. Y'know, whatever.

"This is getting annoying," she sighed, cracking her neck to either side. She took a deep breath, then exhaled, shooting fire (much like a dragon) around the ground in front of her and, most likely, upon the men running at her. Hopefully they were single with no family. And life insurance.

((I... have to go. Dinner plans.))

[Edit]

Sakura calls in NPCs to fight. 5 of whatever it is her faction has. 3nodding

The NPCs were only one thread away, in the North Bright Forest. And so it was that when Sakura called for reinforcements, 4 bowmen and one of the magic tigers showed up to aid Jacknife.

The four bowmen stayed, if at all possible, among the cover of the trees, and let their arrows fly at four different targets. The tiger, for its part, did the rush forward and pounce move on the last of the five NPCs who had been fighting Sakura, aiming to rip out its throat.

((Post is vague because I'm not sure where everything is. Assume the NPCs are aiming at the miner NPCs))

Aiolos was out of breath when he arrived. The mage was too, they both went on the ground and sat down, still on the edge of the woods, just in case.

Zen flew overhead seeing all below, "Aiolos run! the waters still coming!" Zen swooped down to warn his comrades.

He stopped and pulled the mage who was utterly useless to the ground, nearly tossing him. And then released the other man. "You are going to be my bait," Shade told him harshly and began to get set-up, placing his Exodus rifle on the stump and getting into a near prone posistion.
