The events within this thread happen in various events throughout the guild. Each setting will be marked by me in each post just to clarify where each of my characters are (except for the first part of the story since I'll only be dealing with one person and therefore, one setting). Whenever someone starts their part of the story though, do me the liberty of posting where you are so I know where I (or the rest of the unit) am.
Most people I know wanted to be involved have already called out who it is they wish to fight, but this doesn't mean that you can't fight them or after them or whatever so don't mope because there's enough to go around.
Bear in mind though that I am RPing (or will be eventually) as eight different characters. I will likely either do each character in a separate post or put them all in one post, carefully designating who is doing what where (through color coordination) so that you only have to read your part of the post. I'll decide on that when it gets down to it.
Not much else should really need saying, so we're gonna get started now.

Despite it being July, it was still relatively cool outside. Snow was infrequent now-a-days, but there still was a frost that clund to the grass once in a while. Jade had decided to take the slow way back home, enjoying the pace of a walk to the speed of flight. The cool winds played with her short hair and her loose tail, ruffling the fur.
She had decided to take it easy today, and was dressed rather leisurely in a purple tanktop and black leather skirt, lightweight sandles that had purple wrapping reach up to her mid-calf. Her gold locket and ring were in their usual homes on her person, and a pair of glasses was perched on her nose.
It was still pretty light out, and it trickled down through the leaves of the thick forest surrounding the Club hidden further within. It was peaceful, and allowed her mind to relax and wander freely, which was always needed once in a while when sharing a body with a split personality.

"Well looks what I found," came a voice from the trees as the life in the forest died out under his voice. All that could be heard for certain were the flapping of birds' wings - the last to depart - and the rustle of grass and what remained of last year's dead leaved. From a distance the footsteps seemed thick and heavy, a light thud announcing the approach of a figure that would have had to duck under branches if he wasn't strong enough to walk straight through them.
First came his silhouette, one that belonged to a man thick and taut with muscle. What light managed to penetrate the tree tops bounced off of his dirty blonde buzz cut as his hazel eyes sparkled with utter delight. Now only about thirty feet away, he was plain to see even in through the trees. He looked a cross between a karate student and a trailer trash convict, though he certain kept himself neat and clean from head to toe. His boots came to a thudding halt at ten feet, an arrogant grin carving out of his lips as he stared down at the comparatively tiny girl.
"Well I was hoping I'd run into your boyfriend today, but luck's been against me. I guess you can serve as an appetizer though." His voice was definitely condescending, but there was no real passion behind it, as though he could hardly expect this girl to entertain him. It beat waiting though.
"Well we were told to rid ourselves of you anyway, so come on," he said as he shifted his body, extending his right foot as though to walk but planting himself on the ball as both arms rose up as though he were ready for a boxing match.

If it were not for the voice that silenced a living forest, Jade would have believed that Sir Aaron was coming to greet her. Slowly, her face was lifted upwards by the approaching giant, despite her feet carrying her backwards. A nervous gulp ran down Jade's throat, her mouth suddenly becoming dry.
She had almost forgotten about these guys. A grand mistake indeed. His whole body filled her line of sight, and even ten feet away from him, Jade's head was nearly tilted backwards. His comments though, gave her the same kind of chills that Taliman did.
Once the words 'We were told to rid ourselves of you' reached her ears, however, Jade knew what to do. Run. While the juggernaut readied himself for battle, Jade turned on her heel and blasted off through the trees, bobbing and weaving to try and make any chance of following her difficult. She would have no chance against one of these guys, and had been lucky the first encounter with them.

The girl would run, but not far. In fact, by the time she tried to cleared five feet, she'd find herself bumping into and probably bouncing off of his solid figure, especially considering his massive bandaged right fist was hoping to find a home in her torso.
"Now, now, I come all the way out here to do a job and you want to turn tail and run." Suddenly his voice seemed so much colder, as though his hostility factor just went from 0 to 60. "Don't insult me by trying to flee girl or I'll just do this the easy way. I'm trying to let you go with dignity so how's about being a bit more grateful, yeah?" His heavy booted right foot was already coming for her before he finished speaking, like punting a football without goal posts. If she didn't manage to get out of the way, she'd be sailing not above but through the trees, and he'd be keeping up alongside her, awaiting her landing.

She had no idea what was going on, just that her body was bending forwards over a massive fist, forming around it like she were made of jello. Every bit of breath was lost, and no time was given to react before his right foot was smashing into her and sending her sailing literally through the tree trunks and branches further up.
Jade had gotten one thing out of it though. If she ran, she'd be dead in an instant. If she fought, she might actually survive for a little while longer. Given the choices, surviving a bit longer seemed like a good idea.
He was flying up next to her, and despite likely a few fractured ribs to say the least, and some large pieces of wood already imbedded in her body, Jade went to put up a fight. She suddenly came to a stop in mid air, her ki rising rapidly. Suddenly she was surrounded by a golden aura, her ebony hair a brillant golden blonde. Best to give everything she had.
Bouncing off the next tree trunk she would have plowed through, she blasted forwards, flippingher feet from under her and aiming for the giant. Her sandles were not made for combat, but considering her situation, footware was the last thing on her mind.
The girl aimed for a vunerable area that she hoped wouldn't be rock solid on this guy: the groin. Her thick cork sandles flew in a flurry of kicks, about 4 a second. Her hands and arms were up by her face and head, trying to guard somewhat.

There were two things Jagan didn't really like. One was people that abused children, which he really couldn't explain himself. The other was people who tried to kick him in the balls. It wasn't funny. It wasn't cute. It wasn't gonna work.
The grip of his left palm was like a vice around the mid calf of her left leg and his glare was like that of a impending doom and disbelief.
"You've some terrible manners, you know that?" All of a sudden it was as though he had went from bad to just plain evil. There wasn't even a glimmer of joy in his words as he started spinning the girl about, giving her only about half a second to figure out how to not hit that pine tree next to that rock...or was it a rock next to a pine tree?

Ok, so maybe aiming for any males vunerable area wasn't such a bright idea. It fact, it definitely wasn't. Not at all.
Her green eyes were almost forced shut from the force she was being spun around, but she could see enough that a rock and pinetree combination was about to meet with her head and such. Jade threw her hands out just infront of her, managing to gather enough ki to crumble rock and tree as she passed through them, without it being her body that crumbled them.
Her right foot pushed against Jagan's left hand, trying to pull her leg free. The wrap around her calf that held her sandle on tightened the more she pulled, until it eventually snapped. With some twisting and more pulling, plus the paniced sweat starting to glisten on her skin, she managed to slip her left leg free, minus her left sandle.
Backing up and landing a bit lopsided from missing a sandle, Jade simply stood her ground now. She didn't attack, and she didn't run. If one listened carefully, they'd be able to just hear her voice, but not understand what was said. Her lips were barely moving; was she whispering to herself?
Green eyes locked on the giant, Jade shifted her left leg forwards, toes pressing against the soft earth and bracken from the forest. Her weight rested on her right leg still with the sandle on, her feet about a yard apart. Unfortunately, leather skirts aren't very flexible, and the garment crawled up her thighs higher. Certainly not dressed for battle at all.
She lifted her arms up, right fist next to her temple, left slightly extended out in front. Her brown tail lashed out behind her in aggitation. Lips still moving with silent whispers, she stood poised and ready. He wanted to fight, let him make the next move.

"It's awfully rude to speak to yourself when you've got company," he muttered under his breath as though offended that she would rather speak to herself than him. With a sigh he tossed the sandal away to his right and wiped his hands as if to remove some dirt from them before bringing them back up boxing style, this time with his side forward, his large heavy boot sinking into the earth beneath him.
He too muttered to himself, but not extensively, just another complaint before he took the offensive again. His attack this time was a simple chop; his right hand falling like and axe toward the base of her neck and left collarbone. However it was not so easy as that for the distance between them was cleared perhaps before she noticed he had moved via After Image.
Undoubtedly she would notice his large frame in front of her as he was pretty hard to miss, but the convenience of the trick was to distort one's perception as they failed to catch the actual act of moving, and that's all he wanted. Leaving himself mostly open, should he miss, almost any immediate retaliation in such proximity was likely to connect.

Jade hadn't been dating the faster fighter in Club Orion and not noticed how an After Image varies slighlty once movement has begun. If she had missed something like that over the years of knowing Deity, then she couldn't rightly say her skills had improved at all.
Her whispering stopped abruptly as the looming figure of Jagan suddenly appeared in front of her, her blonde hair moving lightly with the breeze. An axe chop to her left collarbone and neck, a shot that, if connected, could easily shatter the bone there. Jade, however, wasn't going to let that happen without a fight, her green eyes focused intensely.
Her left arm moved out, meeting with Jagan's right hand as the rest of her body moved forwards, out of harms direct path. Putting her weight on her bare left foot, she stepped forwards onto her right, drawing her in closer to Jagan.
Her right hand moved from her face and down slightly, gathering momentum before flowing forwards in an uppercut punch for the juggernauts abdomen.

"I guess you've seen that move before then," he said, the life coming back into his voice now that she was cooperating. She blocked, impressively enough, but keeping herself under his arm only meant that he could apply more force down upon her. The moment his arm struck hers, the force began to rise slowly, the force of which would make her sink further into the ground until she chose to move out of the way, if that was possible for her.
The punch to the abs was like a baseball hitting a brick wall. Yeah he felt it, but so what? His body did act as though maybe he was slightly short winded, but the speed of his reaction would suggest otherwise as his left arm came to do on her right side what its twin failed to do on her left.
"Try and make it more interesting, yeah?"

She could feel the weight pressing down on her, trying to press her into the ground. Her legs tried to hold her up, but couldn't fight against the strength of this guy. His sheer size put her at a serious disadvantage. His left hand was coming down on her, and she had to react quickly.
Her right hand pulled back from his stomach and reached up to intercept his left. Still, she didn't have the physical body to stop a massive moving force like him. So instead, she took her feet off of the forest floor, and his forceful attack push her.
"Here's something interesting for you."
Jade swung down between Jagan's legs, letting go of her defenses against his strikes and sliding through the dirt. She jumped up behind him and turned in mid air, aiming a spinning kick from her right foot to the small of his back.

Maybe he shouldn't keep being so nice, but it was fun giving someone a faint glimmer of hope. The girl slipped under his large frame, which was something he was accustomed to. Hell he was a bear of a man - literally - and most people were shorter than thinner than her. Besides, Diana liked to weave around him like Christmas ribbon anyway.
Anyway, he spun around, being sure to wait until the Saiya-jin was in the air so he didn't accidentally step on her, although that would have been funny. Her kick was now coming for his abdomen, which was much better than the groin. Rather than try to block or dodge in a traditional manner, he decided to catch her mid attack with a bone shattering batting swing at her shin. By bone shattering, he meant the force of the attack was just shy of being strong enough to actually disconnect the bottom portion of her calf from the top part.
Entertained as he was, he wanted to be around for the main event, so keeping this going for too long meant he would miss it.

She had to remember that just because he was a large man, didn't mean he was slow. He'd already proven that. Still, she hadn't kept it in mind, which was a mistake.
There was no distinct 'crack' sound, as it wasn't a clean break. Literally, it was bone-shattering. She was caught mid-kick, and was sent into a violent spin to the ground for a rough landing. The girl didn't have a chance to scream in pain before hitting the ground, and she bit down on her lip afterwards to prevent one from coming out.
Instinctively, Jade went to reach for her injured leg, but stopped. Her left leg folded up while her bloodied right lay stretched out on the dirt. She was still for a moment, and silent.
A pulse suddenly went through the air, creating a feeling like being hit with an invisible car. The girl's energy began to rocket even higher than her Super Saiya-jin state, but darker, and more forboding.
"Hmm......it's been a while since I've had to come out and fight for real..."
The woman stood, leaning her weight on her left leg, and bending down to tighten the sandle's straps around her calf. It would help to keep the bone pretty much in place, for now.
"Hope I don't bore you...."
Kirra knew even she didn't stand much of a chance, and mildly wished that Jade had been able to get away. That didn't seem like an option now. Still, maybe she could keep them both alive a bit longer, before this man decided to stop playing with them.
Amazingly, despite a broken shin bone, Kirra took up an agressive stance, right leg forward and resting her weight onto her bare left foot. Fingers spread apart and curled down like makeshift claws, she waited.

"Oh. A new consciousness is it?" Though her voice was a different in tone, she didn't look any different. Stronger though, but that could just be because she decided to give it a bit more than before. No, what gave it away was the mental vibe she was putting off. Not at all like the first girl at all, though if she was as fiery as she presented herself, he might actually be pleased with this outcome.
"Well I can't say you won't," he responded, "but let's hope you don't." With that he resumed his assault, this time watching how well the girl dodged a barrage of ki blasts when one leg was crippled. If she did a good enough job, he'd keep this up for a while. It may be in her best interest to take a beating, but then he'd just be upset and end up wiping her out before continuing his search for that other guy."
