*WRONG.
Two things happened almost immediately that would sadly prevent Will's plans from fruition.
One, Iden had grabbed onto and climbed on Ice's tail. BAD MOVE. The currently small back curving spikes grew. Fast. And sharp. Into long quills that would lacerate Iden's body and shear THROUGH his hands, the tail whiplashing around in front of Ice again, while the centaur would try and set his hands to Iden's face, and cause excruciating pain.
This meant the shot fired at Ice... would have an Iden meat shield to go through FIRST, while the demented Elder laughed, full of joy as if this were some pleasant game*
Oh well arent you just BEAUTIFUL. Such things you have brought me, sweet Iden... a childe of my former obsession... the FUN we shall have....

Wrong? Impossible. All was going as it needed to...if not necessarily according to plan. Spikes? They meant little; Iden's crawl would persist through whatever means necessary. To prevent this, one would need to paralyze him entirely.
Better still, Ice made the mistake of putting Iden right where he wanted to be. Pain meant little in the grand scheme of things; this was a do-or-die moment from square one. His torso was shredded by burning wounds and his face screamed in agony, but what came next was a second thunderclap. An 8 gauge shell loaded with white phosphorus burst from Iden's hip; the lever action weapon was pressed to the centaur's left armpit, and would obliterate the joint. It was all the chance he needed.
Heedless of danger, pain or damage, Iden used all his limbs to lunge for that exposed throat. He would drain his grandsire dry and consume his very being if it was what it took to stop him.
He could only hope Will realized that such was the only means they had at their disposal to bring this fight to victory.

Seeing Iden take the brunt of the grenade round in the back and catch flame, William drove on harder; though he was comforted that his brother was still going strong, the blast tearing Ice's arm off confirming that Iden was not out of the fight yet. The smell of fresh blood, ANCIENT fresh blood, hit William's senses at full force; William's predatory nature coming to the forefront, he jumped up and against the wall before diving onto Ice's back. Latching onto Ice, William began to rip into him; tearing away flesh and bone, tearing through the things spine in its centaur half. Working his way up towards Ice's upper body, William's goal was simple; eat the heart.

Mmm... harder... MORE....
*Ice's face was suffused with a special kind of glee, even as his left arm was shot off. From the bloody hole, a long spider like limb erupted in a further spray of gore. Ice was at FULL strength and TOYING with the two men.
Things NEVER to do. TOUCH a flesh crafter with your own bare flesh, or DRINK AN ELDERS BLOOD. Ice LET Iden bite in. One drink was all it would take to bind Iden to him TOTALLY, so long as he shook Iden off before he finished draining the copius stocks the Tzimisce held. To that end, Ice slowly exhaled, and the SECOND William attacked his broad back, he melded his flesh with Will's, pinning him impotently to his back, while doing the SAME thing to Iden. Then, he started to gallop for the exit from the cave, outside. All the while he was laughing like a mad man*

Landing feel first on Ice's back, William felt his feet sink in and merge with the man's flesh, throwing William off balance slightly and preventing him from clawing at Ice's any further. Tugging at both legs, William would try and wrench himself free from Ice's back before giving up and snarling at the b*****d; instead swiping at the man's neck, trying to separate Ice's head from his shoulders.

*Swiping arm? Wham bam, thank-you I'll take that. It too was 'absorbed', like trying to hurt tar.
Outside, in the free open air, Ice would enjoy using the scenery to smash Iden and William about, smacking them into the outside walls, rolling onto his back and generally enjoying himself, he'd batter the two to pieces.... and then the real pain began.
It would start fading into their bodies through the bits of them linked to Ice. Literally, agony fed into the nervous system directly, enough to make the body spasm, and screaming to ensue. The upshot? IF Iden screamed, he'd stop feeding and seal his fate.
But Ice wasnt relying on just that. No, he simply started disolving Iden;s fangs and jaw with acidic blood WHILE the neonate fed*

It was hard to let go from being battered about when one was literally sharing a body by this point.
So he continued to drink, trying desperately to draw off the reserves. He would keep going, forcing himself to hang on. The pain merely made his jaws clamp tighter, until they began to melt away. When his teeth no longer remained, he would just his jaw bones. When they failed, he would drink straight through his neck. Then his chest, using the collarbones to keep the wound bleeding, and so on....he would not be dislodged without literally being turned into an empty husk. A husk who's heart was growing very near to a festering sum of acid that was now flowing in his veins.
This was not to end well at all.

Again, tugging at the recently absorbed limb; William thrashed about trying to pull himself free, none of which budged from their new homes in Ice's body. Stopping for a moment, William grabbed hold of the limb embedded into Ice's skull and pulled; using both arms and legs, trying to tug the b*****d's head off of his shoulders.

Such foolishness... like children in a hurricane. Have you learned NOTHING? Must I educate you all again? Is THIS what you have all become since I died? PATHETIC!
*Ice reached out with his spider limbs and grabbed Iden by his disintegrating neck BEFORE the acid got any further, and while he was unable to bite on. At the same time, as his neck strained against Will's pull, his tail curled aroun dthe hybrid, hsi flesh letting Will go so suddenly, it would be almost IMPOSSIBLE to hang on. And woe betide Will if he DID, for Ice had something the hybrid woudl hate up his sleeve, if necessary.
Curling his lip in contempt, he gazed upon Iden and spoke in poisonous tones*
Love me, Iden. Crave me. ACHE for me. Until you scream and beg with need and spasm with want. Until your whole body stiffens under sheer LUST. Know the horror of unconditonal desire, sweetheart.
*He would then throw Iden away from him just as furiously, snorting as all six hooves stamped the ground in turn and he began to walk back towards the cave*
If you have ANY sense, youngling, you will recover your fallen brother BEFORE he tries to come after me again, and I make him my slave for good. Take him home, new blood. And chain him up. Otherwise, he will never know his own mind again.
*smugly satisfied in his days work, he wasnt expecting Will to take his advice, but there was always hope sense would return to ONE of the two, FAST*

Hate, love...it mattered little. Ice was trying to discard Iden, but had done nothing to his limbs. Being released from the fleshy grasp merely meant his own strength would need to suffice once more; Iden grasped at anything and everything he could to try and draw in to finish what he had started. Hands scrabbled at the limbs pulling him away, seeking to do with them like he had the tail at the very onset of the hopeless endeavor.

Ripping himself away from Ice and the pain that contact between the two was causing; William quickly shifted to human form and began firing at Ice with his shotgun, knowing that even the massive 23mm armor piercers would do very little to help. What he was really trying to do was get Iden and Ice separated; Iden was dying he could see that, and the only way to save him was to separate the two and then get them the ******** out of there. Yoh was the smart one of the group, having ran the moment he had recovered; but he was too pissed off to think strait and now he was chastising himself for it.

*Ice had already been walking away, but the shots fired at him.... turning, he galloped full speed towards will, using his speed to lend strength to the ice spear he called to himself, throwing it like a javelin to land JUST in front of William*
I will NOT warn you again, pup! TAKE your fallen, before I claim ALL of you for myself here and now. Quickly now, BEFORE Iden feels the effects and BELLY crawls to me in need.
I can be cruel, youngling, if you FORCE me to stop being kind. GO.
*Again, the centaur woudl walk away, but he meant it. One more shot, one more attack, and things would not be allowed to end so easily*

Jumping away from the stake that struck the ground before him, William would eye Ice warily for a moment, gauging his actions; before long however, William would grab the spike with his left hand and pull it from the ground. Walking over to Iden, he would drive it into the space where Iden's heart was; paralyzing the man on the spot. The entire time William never took his weapon off of Ice, not trusting the centaur for a moment longer than it took to pull the trigger; Willaim wouldn't drop the gun until Yoh, Iden, and he where inside the car and speeding off towards the mansion grounds.

*The centaur didnt even look back. Which was good - the smirk on his face would likely have had Will shooting again in a heartbeat.
It felt GOOD to be back, and oh MY the kids running about since, and the chaos of what he found to come back to pleased him greatly. Now, with an empire to restore, he would have plenty of time to watch them, and wait, and bide his time, savouring the thoughts of whats to come*

Corbin DeSeer Vice Captain

Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2010 4:36 pm
"So..."
Corbin said quite blandly as he continued to stare at Dagoth, as though he hadn't seen him in the longest time, taking in his every feature, savouring the sight of him almost. More accurately though, it seemed more like he stared, as if it'd be the last time he ever lay eyes upon his brother.
It would be.
"You've made your choice, Dagoth. News of this will crush her."
It would be the last time he saw his brother, Dagoth as he curled his lip up at the corner in a snarl like expression as his adams apple dipped then raised in a shallow action. He was moving his tongue and the reason would become clear. He pushed the AM round from a ROMAN between his teeth and held it there on display. He, had come prepared.
Dangerously he held the round between his teeth infront of his left primary canine, rolling it slightly in a gentle, though still daring gnashing fashion. Bite too hard, and the ******** fun sized nuke would go off. That, had been the plan atleast. He knew he couldn't take down Ice, or even Dagoth in his current state. With Iden and the others under better conditions maybe Dagoth, alone. Ice however had always been, and forever would be the cackling wild card joker.
"You chose poorly. Ice no longer matters, we've destroyed him once already. Your days are numbered, and you know they are."
With that, he took the round back into his mouth, and raise his right hand, pointing at Dagoth with his fingers curled into the gesture of a gun, as he slowly cocked his thumb back.
"Bang."
The tomb would become bathed in light and flushed with sound as the natural shadows behind Corbin suddenly all at once opened fire on Dagoth, and shadow coated wires launched up from Corbin's own shadow at his feet to rip him down into the Umbra. Engel was on the opposite side, standing in the main hall of the mansion toting a pair of Reaver gattling cannons and unleashing the full barrage through a shadow line, his union with his diablerized brother making this possible with Valaren and Obtenebration.
As soon as Corbin was clear however, the lead torm would cease.
