Welcome to Gaia! ::

[*grumbles something about coercive-ness....*

[oh, fine! Here I goes! X3 NOW it's time for ME to inflict some damage!!]

Falina rose and gripped his wrist, the very image of rage. "I won't let you get away like that..." She said, sounding calm, but in a very severe state of rage. She tightened her grip and twisted, resulting in an extremely painful hold. She stood, waiting for him to cry out, ready to relish the noise.

[And Avenger- your character feels pain just like any other human. You can't slip by THIS time without reacting! >:3 ]

[O_o He's one of THOSE?? *can't remember the term, either*]

Her face lit up at Avenger's shout, and her only response to his words was to give the man a malicious smile and twist further.

Rithey clung tighter to Kratos's fur, and could feel his muscles tense with fear. "Mommy's being scary...." she whispered to Kratos and Venix, and repeated, "She's gonna kill him!"

Doro glanced at his owner, then to Xan and Xavier, then back at Falina. He brought his hands up to his cheeks and slowly dragged them down until they met at his chin worriedly. Neither were good situations. What do I DO?! He asked himself frantically, looking back and forward between the four people once more. He jerked up, startled, when a yell rose from Falina's side. His owner now gripped Avenger's wrist and was twisting it. The bat couldn't help but smile, but it instantly erased the expression when he saw his owner's face.
She's losing it, he thought, and put his face in his hands, I can't get involved!!

[ OH MY GOD this is awesome!!!]

[Oh, you little!.... Don't worry-I have a counterattack! Doro's a NINJA, remember?]

Falina growled. "conniving little..." she hissed, "Is this the only way you can win?" The dark-clad woman's mouth turned up in a slight, taunting smile.
"Little Avenger, has to use his pets to do his dirty work- and all to escape from little ME."

Doro struggled against Ravelt's strong grip. Angrily, he attempted to reach a hand down to his shuriken pouch. Blocked! It seemed he would have to try something else. He thought. Perhaps a little bluff wouldn't hurt, he thought, Ravelt MIGHT catch on, but it's my best bet....
"AUGH!" he cried, using his best acting, the bat gasped as though he couldn't breathe. Startled, Ravelt loosened his grip, just a t-i-n-y bit. Just enough! Doro thought, and deftly slid out from the dragon's grasp. Quick as a wink, he was over by Rithey and her captors. His hands slipped over, and he performed one of the many tricks he'd learned as a ninja. A hand over the neck, a quick pinch, and they were out. Rithey immediately jumped up to her brother and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"It's okay," Doro told her, but quickly beckoned her away from Ravelt, who was mildly surprised and unsure of what to do.

"Nice work, Doro!" Falina cried in a jeering tone.

[ I'M SORRY!!! >o< the ONLY reason I wanted to do this was so that Doro could do the sleep-hold trick on Venix and Kratos, because I thought that if he did that, Avenger would get SUPER angry! THAT'S ALL! I noticed just now that it seems sorta god-mode-y, and I just wanted to let you know that that was NOT my intention! >~< ]

[oops! Didn't know that about the twilight dragons.... And, I wasn't saying that Avenger HAD to get angry, just that that was my intention, since a page or two back he'd said that the way to make him mad was to threaten/hurt his pets... That's all.... ;_; ]

Doro immediately stepped back and began backing away from the now-human Xavier. Panic rose in his throat. What is he going to do? Wide-eyed, Doro pushed Rithey further back, making sure that if he should strike, Doro would be getting hurt.

Falina's head shot up from Avenger's wrist, towards where Xavier and Doro stood, eyes locked. With another sharp twist, she threw Avenger down from the sudden movement. The Mimitehn kept her distance but paced slowly, steadily, toward the water god. A GOD! She thought, what's he doing here?!, and then once more, A GOD!

(that WAS god-moding, but whatever...and anyway neck pinches are complete lies...it's actually a sleeper HOLD and it takes too long to use on two people lol.)

Avenger got up quickly and put Falina in a headlock. He then looked at Ravelt. "don't worry about the damn foxes...GET THE LOUDMOUTH AND THE CHICKEN!" he yelled angrily, putting a lot of pressure against Falina's throat. He didn't care that Xavier had just seemed to take a liking to her, he wouldn't even care if Xavier attacked him. he was focused just on Falina now.

Ravelt sighed and nodded, moving towards Rithey and Doro again.

(actually...there are more than 100 deadly pressure points in the human body. most are so small that you need a needle the size of a grain of sand and pinpoint accuracy to hit them. and the nerves on the neck won't knock you out. you'd have to mess with the central nervous system blocked by your spinal collumn.)

Avenger glared at Xavier. "you have no part in this. Do not concern yourself in affairs that do not involve you..." he said angrily. he was infuriated for once. he was beyond reasoning with now. he wouldn't stop so easily.

(I know. I pay too much attention to stuff. and forgiven. please don't do it again though. oh...and you know that Xavier didn't pull avenger away...he only grabbed his shoulder...)

Ravelt moved as doro was distracted. He grabbed Doro and held him tightly, making sure not to let go this time.
