Mike frowned. Did these guys want to get arrested, beaten, and then killed?
"Hey, now's not the time to be idiots, people," Mike said, his eyes dilating. "If even one guard spots us, they'll call in the whole armada and we'll be smoked! In other words, very dead."

Lucien smiled broadly at mikes remark. "What? you don't think I've been living in this city without learning a few escape tactics do ya?"

Leith only hesitated for a moment, "I'm in...And what, Mike? Don't you wonder what it's like to breathe in a clean breath? This is your chance to make something of yourself--you seem like the kind of guy who needs to do something good to realized himself again." Her smile was soft and caring; that gravitational pull working it's magic again.

Honestly, Mike didnt. He didnt know the extent of Lucien's abilities, or the extent of his know-it-all exterior. And as much as he wanted to please Leith, he just couldnt stay.
"Whatever, man, I'm not taking part," Mike said, waving his hands in front of him. "I dont want to risk my life for some stupid stunt."
'Even though I fell down a cliff just to avoid the guards...'
Mike got out of Warakai's way, and stopped walking. These guys could fart around and play with guards all night if they wanted, Mike wasnt going to join them. He was going back to the boat. He was going to make a real fire. He was going to sleep.
He was going to worry whether or not he made the right choice. Mike stood there, watching them walk ahead of them towards the harbor. He spat in the sand, jammed his hands in his pockets, hurt his arm, pulled it back out, and started walking back to the boat.

Warakai saw a group of guards up ahead his reactions were like lightning the cap came off the dried gourd at his hip and the water within shot out like a jet cutting through the air with a howl and tearing through one of the guards before being quickly sucked back into the vessel with a new reddish tint.

Lucien followed up swinging both of his watches towards two of the guards. A click was heard then a second, and then the two bodies laid down decapitated. He immdiately followed up for the next now revealing two blood-stained Swords extending from his two Pocket Watches. "So you ARE an Elemental!!"

Mike stiffened. Eyes wide, he slowly turned around, barely being able to see what was happening ahead. His eyes saw Warakai and a whip of water shoot out from nowhere, slice through a guard, and then disappear. His brain told him he was going insane.
But maybe this sort of thing was believable now.
Mike saw Lucien take down two guards who were shouting at him. Both dropped dead.
Mike's first thoughts were, 'Theyre killing innocent bad people.'
He rubbed his eyes. Mike wasn't so tired anymore. A surge of adrenaline started flowing through his body.
Mike needed a release. He needed it fast.

Leith was shocked by the sudden outbreak of violence. She looked away from the dead bodies and to Warakai who weilded the only weapon he'd ever really need--water. Her heart beat rapidly, though she ahd already guessed. She was excited and most of all frightened; he was much quicker than she was.

Mike ripped off his jacket, his bad arm not feeling so pained, and he ran as fast as he could for his comrades. His body was rapidly heating itself up as adrenaline pounded through him. About ten yards away, Mike spun, stopped halfway, and shot an arm out. A swirl of fire spiraled his arm, and soared from his palm. It made a noise of a small, muffled cannon. The flame tore right through a guard's torso, leaving a flaming ring in the center.
Mike's eyes were changing. Now the darkness seemed like it was midday. He could see all around him. Every detail, every soldier, every spec of sand. Mike almost bottled it up again when he saw how Leith was reacting. It was how he should be reacting. It was too late now.
The guards were here. His comrades were here. He was here.
Mike would not lose.

Warakai immediately looked the body he had killed swiping a combat knife and a wallet he picked up the gun but he had no idea how to use it nor did he want to know so he tossed it aside "Of course I am an elemental" he said with a smile. He found what he was looking for more than anything a small metal cigarette lighter which he placed in his pocket. He quickly straightened prepared for more combat he drew his blade and prepared another blast of water.

"It seems surprises are in order tonight?" said Lucien as he cleaned off the blood on one of the Watch blades and reverted it back to a normal pocket watch. He parried an oncoming hit and struck down another guard. He saw a guard approaching Leith's blind spot and sent a shadow out to Cover his face in solid Darkness.

Leith smiled faintly at Mike through her shock--She hadn't even really guessed he was an elemental. Fire nonetheless! He looked like a fighting machine; it was beautiful.
A gaurd grabbed Leith from behind and put a gun in her side. Her face hardened and she searched for the nearest water source. She spotted Warakai's open gourd and she reached her arm out immediately. The water blasted out of the gourd like from a fire hose and shot the gaurd in the face. It didn't harm him anything more than perhaps a bruise but he let her go. She took the water again before it fell to the ground and slapped him hard against the head, hitting a pressure point. As he fell to the ground she quickly returned the water to Kai's gourd and withdrew her large knife. She jumped onto the man's chest and put the blade to his neck. She hesitated--never hesitate.

Mike's now orange eyes focused on Leith. She was hesitating. If nothing was done, the guard could take her out in a second. Mike, using his foot, kicked up some sand, and shot a small flame into the cloud of sand. Dropping down to his heel and hindquarter, he directed the heated pieces of sand, now turned into hot glass, to burrow into the soldier's head, which they did, making small thpp sounds as they sank in. he hoped that would be enough to give Leith some time, if any.

Leith saw the guard was dead and shot a thankful glance back at Mike; she didn't have to do it. She then stepped back a few feet closer to the water to observe the others fighting and to only join in more if they needed it. She didn't feel like she should attack anyone unless it was self-defence. She was a little frightened, to be honest.

Lucien couldn't help but grimace. Everyone had a blood thirsty side. It didn't look nice. He ran forward holding the blade in hand. It glimmered with a black aura. "Zetsubouzan" (Despair Slice) He cut down a guard then 3 blades from Warakai's shadow passed over him and followed the arc of the blade creating another 3 set of slashes towards any oncoming Guards ahead of them. Te boat was in plain view now.
