Welcome to Gaia! ::

As soon as Raven heard him tell the archers to take aim he raised his pistol too. But then decided to conceal it and save the surprise for a little later. He watched and waited for the next move of both sides.

*reku flicked pygmi onto his back and flew her to near dagoth, who had chosen to stay on the ground whilst the arrows filled the sky.*

Pygmi chan why you here?

*Reku curled around pygmis neck and shoulders purring loudly*

As the lions charged Raven drew his pistol, firing quickly and most accuratly the first 20 front runners all fell in their tracks, the clip emptyed in less then twenty five seconds. He laughed as he saw their puzzled faces and he put another clip int oit riding forward at full speed to meet them. A man swund his sword for a decapitation but Raven ducked low and fired behind him rewarded with a painful scream, he had atracted quite a few stares with his weapon from the men around him but he could not afford to look at them for he had to shoot quickly before he was cut down. He jumped right off of his horse, shooting a man directly through the heart and another between the eyes as he landed on the ground and rolled forwards. He dodged the swords with ease as he remembered his training with Mae. "Keep mobile." He said to himself as he leaped through the air, letting off five bullets in mid-air and watching four men fall to their deaths. He smiled and he popped the clip out putting in a clip of red bullets. "This should draw some attention." He said with a grin as he shot a man in the leg, seemingly harmless but he lept to the ground as the bullet exploded killing ten other lions around him. He hoped his distraction was working for the other armies circling for a pincer move.

Natrually, both sides were falling fast, but it appeared that the strenght of the first and fourth devisions were enough to form the pincers movement and allow the Dragon to outflank their enemies. Still, the lines surrounding the Lion forces were far too thin. A large part of the fourth devision, Shaitung's, was noticably straying uninvloved.

Raven unloaded his clip of explosive bullets, killing his fair shair of lions with them, he then put it away and looked to Dagoth, Pygmi, and his troops to see how they were doing but that cost him. As soon as he took his eyes away from the battle around himself a blade came out of knowhere, cutting across his face, across one open eye. He screamed and fell to one knee, holding his face and unable to see out of the eye. He could hear laughing behind him and then the sound of a sword cutting through air for the last blow but he wouldn't allow it to happen, he dropped and the sword went over him and then he quickly turned and sprung up, and as he did he unsheathed Mae's sword and sent it through the lion's heart. He was bleeding profusely from the wound across his face and he could barely see but not even that could stop him. He let out a growl and went after evey lion he could see around him, swinging the sword with deadly accuracy and power. He then smiled as he remembered his training with Mae and how they fought. He grinned as he lept, streight at a lion on a horse but not to atack him on ly to use him. He kicked off of him, sending himself flying into anther which he kicked off of as well sending him flying again but then he just held his sword infront of him, flying right into a lion and peircing him through the stomach. "Mobile." He said quietly and he went to the first man he had kicked off of and who had falled off their horse. He grinned and stood over him. He took his sword and then went down in a jabbing motion for the kill but the lion rolled out of the way and whipped his sword across the back of Raven's leg. He screamed out and fell, but as he did, he drew his pistol and fired a solitary bullet right into the man's skull. Raven lay there breathing heavily now, looking as though he were dead. He breathed a sigh and holstered the gun, grabbing the sword again and standing up with some difficulty and limping back into the fight.

The battle seemed to be going well for the Dragon, Lion bushi were falling quite fast. But then the left flank of the Dragon's army errupted in flame. "Isawa!" came the panicked screams of the few survivors. The fourth broke off, Shaitung at the head, who had already started casting a spell to ward off any magic directed at her.

((Idon;t want to interrupt. But, just tell me if you guys ever get back to the normal Blackskull area, because, I can;t come back in anymore... and I don;'t want to miss my chance of getting back in a second time and fading away...))
