(CLOSED)Relic hunting, eh?

[glitters]

Jasmine wasn't a mind reader but boy that smile on Seigmand's face burned her even more as she balled her fists tightly and glared at him.

'You're terrible...I'll deal with you yet, and give back what you've given.'

As much as she'd like to, Jasmine didn't believe she could actually deliver Seigmand a big heaping of justice at the moment. She wasn't strong like Mark or Yeligar, and she couldn't fight like any of the other heroes...a few of them seemed to want a piece of Seigmand themselves as well, anyway.

She fell back a bit, relaxing slightly and giving Kouichi a polite smile as she said, "It is good to know you, Kouichi. Your brother is a very nice person, and I can sense only the same about you, too."

[alexanderthegreat]

As Alex spoke, Alexander's eyes widened on horror at the young Miri.

"You're kidding, right, D? There's just no way..." and now Seigmand was yelling at Alexander while Miri was yelling at the other Alex. Great. They were both in trouble for something.

...Or at least Alex was. Alexander simply threw his hands up at Seigmand and shook his head and yelled back, "No way, man. You deal with your own chick problems - but if you could, get the blonde's name for me, alright?"

Alexander didn't have time to deal with Seigmand and the fact that he failed at women, he was a king and had better things to worry about...like this woman screaming at his captain!

"Miri, honey, listen! This is my buddy I was talking about earlier, the bodyguard, the cool guy, the...D, let's just get the hell outta here," Alexander grabbed at Alex's arm and tried to pull him in through the portal, bailing on the situation.

[lana]

Lana rolled her eyes, growing ever annoyed with this "quit throwing your life away" crap.

"I was trained to do this. For ten years I didn't have a choice, I don't really f***ing care," she snapped, trying to concentrate, and took a couple of steps ahead, intently watching the Sumata and Kouichi. She wouldn't pick fights with the royals, even if that was what Yeligar wanted. She'd engage in battle with one of the others, her attention would then be divided, and she wouldn't be able to look out for Kouichi at all.

Rather, she stayed behind the group yet, waiting for a reason to attack.

[Lilith]

"Trucido," Lilith was unnaturally calm throughout the chaos, "you are coming into the portal as well?"

She didn't really want to go without him.

[Trucido Damnedblood]

"Yes, Sweetie. I just have to get everyone else in here." He said "Now can you make me feel better and go in the portal?"

[Quaytvol]

"DAMN!" He said, as he pulled the blade back, making the strongest part missing Andy, and part of it hit the ball, but it barely did anything, Hitting Night straight on.

[Lilith]

Lilith smiled and tilted her head.

"You worry too much sometimes," she answered Trucido with a slight giggle. Odd, this was an unnatural way for her to react. Then again, she did just wake up from a wonderfully peaceful nap. Without anymore hesitation, she stepped into the portal as directed by Trucido.

[Seigmand Dezmar]

Seigmand closed his eyes and seemed to be concentrating deeply on something. To anyone that would have been watching his pant legs they'd see dirt slowly crawl up his feet and under his pants. Seigmand opened his eyes as Volkmar's blade came slashing down towards him. In an almost bored manner he raised his arm to cradle the Zweihandler's hardened edge in the nook of his wrist before slapping it away, leaving Volkmar's torso exposed under his sword arm.

Yet Seigmand only took a quick step back in retreat and turned towards Zelos. His invitation had been intriquing, if only because he didn't expect comradere from the deathly quiet Sumata. "Thank you Zelos, the help is much appreciated." As the rest of Heroes rushed forward Seigmand took a more serious stance, his body turned sideways and his staff anticipating the next strike.

[Killer 7]

The time had come. As the one called Lilith stepped into the portal, and the other member of the Sumata were distracted by the on-goings between Night and the others, control shifted to Keade. Her twisted smile lengthened as she caressed the barrel of her AWSM sniper rifle. Giving the .308 round she held in her hand a quick kiss, she loaded it and took aim at Trucido, but paused as the crosshairs positioned themselves over his face. Through the scoped view, Keade could see the fine detailing of the man's visage and couldn't help but stare longingly as his pale complexion, silky black hair and his eye, that beckoned to her, like blackholes pulling her in with their cosmic gravity. It was at that moment that Keade decided that Trucido belonged to her, and only her.

Oh, the beauty of such a man is not meant for the likes of other women. No, there can be no other women, only me; just him and I as one. Ahh, I know! After I kill him, Kevin can skin him and i'll wear him and we'll be together as one from here to eternity. The lush crimson of his soul soaking into my every pour and fusing with my very being. Yes, yes, it's all so very perfect. You'll do that for me won't you Kevin?

The ghostly man gave no response, as he in all actuality had his own plans for Trucido's body after they were finished, but those were thoughts he kept to himself.

Coyote: "God I hate having to listen to this crazy chika every time she finds some new cabeza de mierda to swoon ever. God know she looses interest by the time she actually kills them. It's always the same with these loco, obsessive types."

Dan: "Whatever. Just shut the f*** up you psycho bitch and blow that queer's brains out already!"

Pouting at the lack of reinforcement she got from her coworkers, Keade gave a quick "humph" and pointed the scope down to Trucido's leg.

Keade: "Fine! If I can't have what I want then you won't get what you want!"

Aiming for a non-lethal blow, she squeezes the trigger and send the bullet flying at Trucido's thigh.

[scarth]

Scarth almost jumped upon seeing the Heroes emerge from the woods. He paused and thought to himself for a while as the present company talked. As if he had suddenly came thought of a hilarious joke Scarth began to laugh to himself. "Oh of course, the woods weren't asking me to go to them, they were inviting them here! Thank you you lovely leaves, you beautiful bark."

Hmmm, they don't look too different from the rest of people. I wonder why Heroes make a good sandwich? Maybe I'll have to try one... A sly and hungery look appeared on Scarth's face as he looked intently at each of the Heroes. He pointed a menacing finger out at each one, playing "Eenie meenie mynie moe" to decide on one, but the rushing Heroes threw off his count.

"Hey no fair, you guys can't move."

Children are always the tastiest. Still soft and fresh. The Other's voice sang sweetly in his mind. Always such good advice, such a good friend to Scarth. Scarth hunkered low and made a dash from off to the side. Getting close enough he made a pouncing leap towards Kouichi, his body contorting in such a way that he flew upside down arms first towards the young Hero.

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Mark took a step back from the blast and let the smoke clear, the trees for another mile or so had been burned down, luckily he aimed away from the heroes he only hoped no one else was there.*

Mark:Andy *he paused and closed his eyes, when he opened them once more they were back to normal, he also withdrew his wings.* Are you okay?

[Miri, EarthGuard]

"First of all," Miri yelled, completely forgetting duty as she walked purposefully behind Jasmine and at the Alexes, "I have never been your anything, sleazebag. And as for you..."

She glared at Alex, still advancing. "How dare you show your big, fat, loser ass around here ever again? What, running away for two years too cowardly for you? Finally gotten over the fact that you lost? Huh, Alex?"

[Alex of Santo-Luce]

The captain looked panicked. "I think you may have me confused with someone else!" he stammered, backing up. "I've never seen you before in my life!"

Yet the details of her speech haunted him. She knew his name. She knew he'd been on Crepusculum for two years... and she spoke as though Earth was his home, which echoed dangerously close to his suppositions about himself.

Could she truly be from his past, the past he couldn't remember?

"A little help, Milord?" he asked. "Haven't you dealt with these situations before?"

[lana]

Scarth, only an arm's length away from Kouichi, was suddenly delivered a mighty kick and thrown violently to the ground.
And then, while he was still on the ground, he was kicked again hard in the ribs. Taking her stance, Lana stepped between Scarth and Kouichi, her eyes venomous and body itching to kick the crap out of something.

"Try that again and I'll cut your f***ing hands off," she threatened.

[Kouichi - Yami No Kuro Raion]

Kouichi had been too busy thanking Jasmine to notice Scarth coming for him, but he wouldn't make that mistake again. His nagi out and ready to do some damage, he walked up beside Lana. "Thanks!"

Kouji stood by Jasmine, staff at the ready, glaring at Seigmand.

"One more step, I'll prove to you how nasty blunt weapons can be. Wouldn't want to damage that pretty sneer, would we?"
