(continuing from ....(insert name) ))

Andy straddled the body of her unconscious sister, ripping chunks of flesh from her arm viciously with her teeth and consuming what she tore off without a second thought. Andy had no use of her right arm, dangling from the socket of her shoulder as burn marks laced her skin and her faceless mask.

The whole block had been leveled by what looked like a large powerful explosion. Including the Haven building they were in front of. Andy growled as she heard the suggestion in her head, thoughtful for only a moment before leaning down, ready to bite out Blaise's throat.

[Andy HP: 37 Stam: 20. Blaise: KO'd]

Driving in Criel since the start of the war had become dangerous, roads quickly fell into disrepair and rubble littered what street was available for use. Mise cared not for things like roads, property damage, or even his own personal saftey as he sped over and at some points through rubble - damaging what was previously a luxurious car.

Skidding on what was a hour ago a building he made his arrival on the scene, opening the door and stepping out - "Andy! Stand Down." He wasn't sure why Andy had just suddenly appeared in Criel, she looked like s**t. She had seemed reasonable enough during their time together previously and not at all the type to bite out someones throat. He started to run torwards them if nothing else healing seemed like a thing that was going to need to happen soon here.

( Silver Tongue : haha 15. yeah sure. ok. Mise, just go ahead and get that out of your system ok?

Stamina: 49/56 )

Alutae had tagged along with Mise this time around, as she had been mucking about with Mercenaries as a means to keep her own tail out of the fighting - but also for other reasons she liked to keep to herself. That, and she might have wanted to see what was going on with her own two eyes.

As the car skid to a stop, she waited for Mise to step out before she herself slid out of the car, her small frame almost entirely hidden by the car before she stepped around it. Eyes darting about the scene, she took in a deep breath - only getting the current scent of a recent explosion, burnt flesh, and blood. So much blood . Eyes narrowing, she stood behind and to the right of the Meta she had tagged along with, a slight grin on her lips as she looked excited for a possible fight, but she stood down and kept quiet as this was on a different scope than her usual missions.

Ree's hand froze over the phone as his foggy mind focused on the familiar voice crying out into the destruction. Of course he would ap-...Andy? He knew Andy...was she....did she.. stand down? //........ //.

He cast a quick look around dully seeing Mise and friend getting out of a car, idly wondering how there was even a clear path through this. //Focus//

He was dragging burned wings and limping, looking mostly starved and burned offset slightly by the glow of his eyes. Currently he was struggling through some rubble toward Andy and froze. Not sure now who to trust. // .... Kill her or Escape?// He offered Andy the option, oddly feeling a hint of his strength returning if only a tendril as the two ornaments started glowing heavily pulling energy from the area. Battery ( 10 stamina points)

[Ree: 38/150 Stamina: 10/80]

Andy paused as she heard the voice, looking up toward Mise and blinking in alarm as she slowly began to get up and back away from Blaise. //...s**t I can't... stop...// she managed to force out, her voice slightly panicked. She tried to speak but no sound came as she looked down to the burned and melted radio at her hip. ********. //....we have to go...// she insisted and began to back away from both Mise and Blaise, limping and wincing at the pain.

[Andy HP: 37 Stam: 20.]

Mise looked up, spotting Ree, recognizing Ree, pulling the handgun out of his jacket and immediately fireing upon him. "Sick him Girl!" he called out to Alutae, walking forward with criminal intent.

(( 19 ))

Snapping to attention when Mise spoke to her, Alutaes grin widened as her eyes narrowed, quickly bolting in the same direction that he had fired in, running towards the figure. Taking in a deep breath as she ran, the werewolf seemed quite excited to be running towards a designated target.

[Full round movement, 40ft (yay teen)]

Ree jerked back as he was hit in the shoulder and let out a small laugh. He lifted his hand to it and glanced at Andy as he focus on Alutae and a little past her. // ..... I don't know who you want to be with....// he said quietly to he and sighed. Three spikes lifted from the ground under Blaise's head and slammed into her head with full power. (( lvl 10 telekinesis +6: 49 damage ))

//Either way ...choose carefully// he muttered out of energy now and looking back at the others with a dead like look at he focused on doing as much damage as he could before dying.

[Ree: 27/150 Stamina: 0/80]

Andy continued to back up. //... Shutup, Ree... I told you we need to go...// she hissed and turned to run but really couldn't move as she stumbled and coughed, limping slowly away but keeping an eye on Mise. She blinked as Alutae bounded to Ree then growled angrily at her like a wild animal, finding strength to suddenly push forward into a run after Alutae to try to stop her.

Blaise body impacted upon the spikes, a gruesome display of blood as she lay limp and lifeless on the ground, impaled by spikes.

[Andy HP: 37 Stam: 20 (5 rounds adrenaline) Running at 80. Blaise: Dead]

Mise looked back at Blaise, and sorrow touched his face ... Then Andy ran past and tackled Alutae, giving a groan he asked "Alutae handle her would you, try not to kill her - she's not my least favorite person... I'm going to kill this b*****d, though." His face turned into a scowl. He marched with intent, fireing his gun once again at Ree. ( 9 )

As she was tackled to the ground, Alutae let out a rather strange noise, but as her target was changed - even with the note not to kill her - she opened her mouth wide and laughed. It was a rather horrifying thing to look at, as her mouth went well past her lips and stopped just short of the start of her ears. Twisting her body, trying to move to fight the woman on top of her, she decided that the easiest way to subdue her would be to bite. Moving her head in for the nearest limb, she moved to bite down, hard .

[Bite: 23 (+3 Venom damage) :: Stam: 35/40// HP: 70/75 (taking damage for the tackle to the ground)]

As Mise glanced toward Blaise he moved and duck behind some concrete rubble, he didn't even have an adrenaline boost as everything has a cloudy feeling. //Move then..// he muttered to Andy, following along the broken wall trying to find a way that wouldn't collapse or lead back to them. The gunshot behind him made him grimace, trying to find something..anything. (Base defense: 17 ))

(([Ree: 27/150 Stamina: 0/80]

Andy let out a scream as she felt teeth sink into her skin. //Just get out of here. At this rate, it's doubtful we will both make it out of this. Just go!// she insisted and moved to bite Alutae back as hard as she could and then pushed away, trying to get away from Alutae now. (11 dmg bite)

[Andy HP: 25 Stam: 20 (3 rounds before ko)]

With Ree finding cover he glanced over to Alutae, he had to trust her to be able to handle this and if she couldn't he wouldn't be that far away ... Instead he focused on the tasks at hand, moving double time to close the distance between himself and that damn cat. (( double move action, ran 60 feet ))

Alutae was laughing now - clearly excited that the woman was putting up a fight, but she was given a command, and she wasn't going to let up. Allowing herself to be pushed away, she licked her lips before taking a couple steps towards the older Meta, tilting her head to the side and letting her dreadlocks slid across her shoulder before she took in a deep breath. Holding it for a second, she soon opened her mouth wide, a small ball of frost forming between her teeth before launching itself right at Andy.

[Triple Threat 28 (Cold Damage) :: Stam: 30/40// HP: 59/75]

Ree wanted to protest but he had nothing left, stumbling forward. The sound of pounding footsteps coming from the direction of the battle jerked him into action, forcing him into a run before ducking into the second crack in the wall he found, a hand clutching his chest as he breath in heavily as he kept moving, his vision swimming and narrowing even as the pain ease slightly. The room was a lobby that was upside down , most of the stuff was littered everywhere and slightly unstable. It was dark but unfortunately he was letting off a dull glow from his feathers and eyes that made him notable and full intimidation was in effect, not even concentrating on keeping it down anymore.

(( double Movement: 80ft Singularity: 8 left. Intimidation: 10 (passive. raised from 4) ))

(([Ree: 27/150 Stamina: 0/80]

Andy turned and inhaled deeply, and let out an abnormally loud scream that could shatter glass in the immediate area. She tried to force back the frost ball away but it wasn't enough as it hit her and knocked her down. A painful noise escaping her lips as she tried to push herself to a stand, coughing. (15 def: failed. Took 13 dmg)

[Andy HP: 12 Stam: 14 (2 rounds before KO)]

When Ree revealed himself Mise took a quick shot before following him into the blown out lobby. (( 11 ))When Ree revealed himself Mise took a quick shot before following him into the blown out lobby. (( 11 ))

Hands quickly reaching up to cover her ears from the scream, closing her eyes tight and hearing a faint ringing in her ears from the sudden scream. Growling, she kept one eye closed as she pointed one hand directly at the woman on the ground, now rather pissed from the scream. From the ground around her feet, a small swelling fire bubbling from the ground as if it were lava, but soon formed flames that swirled around her outstretched hand. The fire was hot, but burned with a strange greenish tint. "Sorry Lady, I gotta knock you out." She said simply, albeit loudly, before firing the ball of fire towards Andy.

[Hellfire 17 (fire) :: Stam: 25/40 //HP: 59/75]

Ree managed to avoid the shot it with time to spare(( 15 vs 11)) he looked at the broken room, the ground was the roof and the roof was the ground. He stared for only a second before shoving himself back near the opening and crouching down waiting, trying not to pass out as his breath increased, blood was trailing down his left shoulder from the bullet wound. As Mise came in he twisted with a faint cry of pain and tried to punch his solar plexus. (( basic attack: 11 ))

(([Ree: 27/150 Stamina: 0/80]))

Mise was taken aback by the attack, he hadn't expected the wounded cat to take the offensive like that, but after his hand landed against his chest he grinned. Then grinned wider as if he was about to start laughing from a particularly funny joke, until his grin passed the limits of human mouths and revealed his shark teeth as his features became more monsterous, gills flaring and legs shifting into inhuman apendages. Wrapping himself around Ree dragging him into a grapple.

(( Resist Bludgeoning: 14

Andy gasped as fire roared up, rolling to try to dodge the attack, flames licking her back as she winced painfully, staggered and fell to one knee. (12 vs 17. 5 dmg taken.) This wolf wasn't going to let her go.... so she might as well put up the fight. She began to spark over her skin when she yelled in anger and desperation and shot electricity out at Alutae. (22 dmg)

[Andy HP: 7 Stam: 8 (1 rounds before KO)]

Seeing the electricity, Alutae moved her hand so her palm was facing towards the other before the fire swirled and formed into a serpent-like spear. Grabbing onto it quickly, she began to spin the spear quickly in an attempt to get the weapon itself to take the brunt of the electrical shot. It took a decent chunk of it [15] but the electricity moved with it and worked its way into her hands, causing her to hiss in pain [takes 7 damage]. Moving forward as she continued to spin the spear, she slid down into a split as she grabbed the shaft of the weapon and thrusted it right towards the other Metas core, trying to do damage, but not kill her - hitting her with the butt of the spear instead of the pointed end [23 Dmg].

[Serpent Tail Def. 15 :: Stam: 15/40 //HP: 52/75]

Ree's eyes widen with fear and his pupils narrowed to slits as he tried to back up hissing, but much to late as he felt the tentacles wrapping around him constricting his movement. //oh sh**// He gasped in pain and lowered his head to bite the tentacle with sharp canines. ( basic attack: 20 )

(([Ree: 27/150 Stamina: 0/80]))

Mise wiggled the tentacle Ree put into his mouth, chuckling darkly, simply attempting to make sure he didn't get too good a bite out of him. His eyes turned yellow, and slit down the middle, taking only a moment to drink in the fear in his eyes as webbed fingers wrapped around the neck of the Cat, before attempting to crush his neck with every bit of strength he had in his body.

Andy was trying to weigh her options, already feeling the heaviness of her body returning. //... ree... I'm sorry.. if you can teleport.. do it now... before they kill you...// she spoke, her voice soft and tired. She tried to grab the spear and it slipped from her grasp, still hitting her in the stomach. A grunt of pain. (3 dmg)

She gripped tightly to the spear and sent what little electricity she could manage from her body toward Alutae before swaying and finally passing out unconscious. (20 dmg)

[Andy HP: 4 Stam: 0 (KO'd)]

As if he would let him so easily, he let go and duck his head so he didn't have a good grip and even managed to pull his top wings up and shoved the shoulder joints against his hands. The hands were now in biting distance and he bit those instead.

There was a flicker of sadness in his gaze with the fear and dull acceptance. //Sleep...well// he muttered to her and bit down harder.

(basic defense: 16 ))
(basic attack: 15 )

(([Ree: 11/150 Stamina: 0/80]))

Looking rather angry that the spear was being held onto, she tried to yank it away from Andy before she did anything with it, but she didn't quite pull it away in time. Holding the spear in her left hand, she let go of it with her right and shook her hand as the bit of electricity went through her body [5 dmg]. Though as her enemy fell unconscious, Alutae just stared. Leaning down, she poked her a couple times before shrugging. Standing upright and putting her spear on her shoulder, she looked about, squinting before hearing a struggle not too far off. Figuring that was where Mise had run off to, she started to make her way there.

[Serpent Tail Def. 15 :: Stam: 10/40 //HP: 47/75]

a flash of annoyance touched his face, observing him with a touch of distance as if he hadn't been the one strangling him - The gnawing on his tentacle honestly was no new experience, keeping it wiggling to make it hard to sink the teeth into it. He pulled back a hand and struck him upside the head, curious as to how much fight he had left in him.

(( Defense: 16
Attack: 36

Ree bit down harder just as a piece of metal from above fell at the exact time Mise punched routing a lot of the power as it flew across the room but he was still hit slightly b the edge of his fist.(Singularity 7 left) With that his head tilted to the side as the feathers on his ornament lowered slightly. (KO)

(([Ree: 0/150 Stamina: 0/80]))

Zaku ducked around the corner of fallen rubble, hearing nothing but white noise of the war and broken buildings. Following the faint spirit thread connected to him, he ran into the area from what might have felt like a side entrance, or a while it was unsure. He caught sight of some tentacled beast and stopping dead in his tracks as he saw Ree in his grip. "Stop!" he called quickly, hoping to Gaia it worked. (28 siren song)


He clutched the necklace, thankful he had it for just such the occasion to luckily find him.

[Zaku HP: 100/100 Stam: 49/56]

Alutae continued to make her way towards the building, but hearing an unknown voice, she looked even more confused and began running towards the building.

Mise stopped, as he was commanded to, feeling the compulsion shivver through him and unnaturally preventing him from continuing on his physical assault. Turning his head to face Zaku and chuckling darkly, slowly releasing his grasp on Rees neck. "You should be more thorough with your commands, boy." Before grabbing his gun, putting it against Rees head, and pulling the trigger. (( 20 ))

The gun jammed (Singularity sad rolled 20) 6 left )

Tri followed/dragged behind him, the muse holding tightly to his arm. He frowned because he still didn't understand what Zaku was following but he didn't dare not follow. At best Zaku was using his luck to find him after seeing the mess Blaise had left of Criel's government buildings on TV and Andy's attack.

He nearly ran into Zaku the moment the muse stopped and managed to side step before running into him. Glancing inside his heart nearly stopped as he stared at the monster with a familiar face. What was Mise doing here?! He didn't stop to think, Cold Light flashed along his hands as he lifted two dual guns, dragging Zaku to himif he hadn't let go, and started firing icy light shot. ((Attack: 16 cold/light ))

(Tri: 100/100 Stamina: 49/56 )
(Ree: KO )

Zaku's eyes widened before narrowing on the man. He let go of Tri as he summoned guns. Thick roots burst through the broken up ground to wrap around Ree and began to pull him from Mise. (23)

[Zaku HP: 100/100 Stam: 43/56]

Hearing even more voices as she finally arrived to the building, she poked her head in to see one hell of a hubbub going on. Two new people - both she couldn't identify by voice from the back. Frowning, she watched the entire ordeal going on for a second, though as she saw them attacking Mise she got rather on edge. "Don't you even DARE." Alutae shouted as she opened her mouth wide, firing a ball of fire towards Tri, as he was actively trying to attack him.

[Triple Threat 23 Fire :: Stam: 5/40 //HP: 47/75]

Mise frowned as a second man joined the first. This ... was getting bad. With the second drawing a gun he pulled the unconcious body of Ree infront of himself to sheild from the attack ( slight of hand - 20 ) managing to avoid any of the damage himself in the process.

The roots burst from the ground and attempted to pry Ree from his grip - but he refused to drop his grapple on the man who had attempted to muder him, twice, and had just murdered one of his - Taking this brief space to grab onto his neck in a attempt to snap it ( 17 ) feeling the faint pulse of the man between his fingers only serving to infuriate him more.

And then Alutae got involved. His blood froze, all of the heat and anger gone in a instant as cold fear took him "Alutae No! Get out of here! We can't handle this many assassins!" he shouted at her.

( HP: 96
Stamina: 26 )

Zaku swallowed hard, two people now. One was small, they could probably take them. "Let him go!" he commanded, desperate to separate them. (24)

[Zaku HP: 100/100 Stam: 36/56]

A piece of the ceiling fell the moment Mise brought Ree up and Tri shot unable to stop himself with a look of horror. (singularity 5 )

Tri takes a step forward and teleports onto Mise as his shadow reached up and places itself between Ree and Mise's hand.

Shadow: 13/30
(Shadow jump: 3/4)
(Tri: 100/100 Stamina: 35/56 )
(Ree: KO )

Alutae looked between Mise and the two people that were attacking him, whining softly, she clearly wanted to stay and fight, but was obligated to run. "I love you!" She shouted in a panic before she took off, sprinting out of the rubble and into the wartorn city, tears streaming down her face.

Mise's face softened, briefly regarding the unconscious body of Ree, he let go. Taking a step back, his monsterous features remerged with his human ones and he raised his arms. Stepping between the two men and his wolf. He looked between them and stated firmly "he's attacked me and mine, he's killed mine." Hoping for understanding, keeping his hands raised in a clear sign of his intent to drop this, for now at the very least.

Zaku watched Mise carefully. "He's mentally ill. We will be taking him to get help. We want nothing to do with this." he spoke back, letting roots wrap around Ree and pull him towards them calmly. (22) "He was never meant to even be here... My apologies. Let us part ways here and hope to never meet again.... respectfully." A few lingering roots tugged at Tri to move, insisting he back up with Ree, to leave now.

He shot a glance to Tri that firmly conveyed that they should stand down and take Ree while they had the chance. "...Focus on Ree. We need to get him out." he muttered to Tri and gave a nod to Mise, hoping that was all.

Tri hit the ground as Mise shifted and the part his was on receded. Scrambling to his feet he didn't know what the octopus was planning and he really didn't care as he dropped one light base gun and grabbed for Ree only to hit a root as Zaku was faster.

Turning his attention back to Mise he focused the second gun on him and started backing up. The light tug on his pant leg very nearly made him turn around and shoot it, assuming a tentacle had separated somehow and was acting in its own. Casting Zaku a quick dark look he kept backing up. He wanted to leave here as fast as they could. The wolf could be going around and coming up from behind them for all they knew.

Mise observed the two - carefuly, then nodding his head. Loweing his hands slowly, and standing up straight - imposing his size on them. "Gentlemen." he stated, sternly, adjusting his suit and tie before turning on his heel and marching back out into the warzone. "Alutae! Collect the dead and wounded. We're going home." He called out to her.


Zaku exhaled with a slight relief, scooping up Ree and reached out to Tri to get his attention and started running for a safer place outside of the immediate warzone.

Tri who was of near equal size said nothing until he reached Zaku. His ears perked at the mention of dead and wounded, who else?. He didn't go and find out though, keeping watch as Zaku picked Ree up. He blinked once Zaku was ready and silently followed, shifting into a shadow himself for easier movement.

Perking up when she heard her name, Alutae skidded to a stop, having to use her spear to keep her from falling over, and turned around quickly. Her face was wet with tears from her own fear, and hearing and seeing that Mise was still alive, she bolted towards him and tackled him hard. Trying to wrap her arms around him, she cried, "Y-you can't die, n-not yet."

Mise smiled, warmly, genuinely, wrapping his arms tightly around the younger meta. "I know, I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry," He kissed her forehead and picked her up, carrying her as he walked to pick up Blaise and Andy.
