Waking the Thunder *Celes, Celtik, Open*

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Celtik was fast asleep in the royal chambers when his brother, Vasuki, broke in. "Brother, wake up." He said, then he rolled out of the way for the bullet coming at his chest. "What? I was sleeping?" He shouted as he sat up.
"Sire, there is a rumor that there is a hero is in the royal courtyard." Vasuki said, as he looked at him.
"If I kill the hero, then I can get on Trucido's good side, and get weeks of sleep." He said, as he put on his boots, and put on his shades. He then zoomed out into the courtyard, and looked at who was there.

[Celestia Angelina Chère]

Celes walked through the courtyard at alert. She'd been sent here, but she wasn't sure why. The feeling of... dread... that had sunk in the moment she'd set foot in the courtyard had confirmed that for her. She'd always known to trust her feelings, and this would be no different.

She tugged her cloak closer so her face wouldn't be easily scene as she rested a hand on her concealed Runic Blade, then pressed forward.

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Celtik looked at Celes, and noticed that she was pulling her cloak closer to her. He pulled out his pistol, and zoomed to behind a pillar. Vasuki then zoomed out so that he was about 10 feet or so in front of Celes. "Halt, you are trespassing on the Tuono Royal castle." He said as placed his hand over his nunchuk. "State who you are, and we may let you live."

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

(Permission given) Ayalan looked from Celes' side, with a hand upon his hip, slinking along a side wall, as stealthy as he could within the shadows.

"Somehow, I doubt that you'd let us live with names exposed!" Ayalan looked over at Celes, nodding to her: This was also a forced mission between them, as they never really knew each other: 'Leave it to the leader to experiment with teams I suppose...' he thought.

Now he pulled out his crossbow, and was ready for a fight.

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Vasuki looked over at shadows and tried to look for the man that talked. The clouds had darkened and made it harder to see in the shadows. He pulled out his nunchuk and started to twirl it, getting ready.
"No, it is just polite to put the name to a dead body for a tomb stone." He said as he watched the shadows and Celes.

[Celestia Angelina Chère]

Celes gripped her blade, unsheathing it slowly. "Sorry, friend. I've tried death, and it couldn't hold me. Do not deign to think yourself of a higher standing then me," she commented quietly before holding her blade in both hands firmly in front of her.

"And please do not misunderstand. My calling you friend is not an indication that I'll hold back. I'd prefer not to fight, but you appear to be interested in harming me. I won't tolerate that," she continued before setting herself in a standard offensive position.

"Because Destine is waiting for me, and she'd be awful angry at me if I didn't harm you when you tried to harm me. So, are we to fight?"

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

"Sorry, but you walked onto the royal palace, so you have to be punished." Vasuki said as he started to run to Celes, and then slide at her legs, at a fast speed.

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan smirked, watching as he nodded, 'She's brave. I'll give her that for sure', was his first thought.

He then came out of the shadows, wielding two crossbows, aiming them in both directions.

"You got that, mi'lady?" He said audibly enough, slowly advancing toward the area of Celtik, but keeping his eyes poised toward both directions, ready for either confrontation.

[Celestia Angelina Chère]

"Absolutely!" She called out as she jumped, barely missing the slide-kick. As she did, she struck out with her foot, sending Vasuki backwards and into a pillar. "Don't underestimate me. I'm giving you that respect, so give me the same!" she exclaimed, pulling her blade back into a ready position.

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Vasuki was slammed into a pillar, and he was gasping for air. Damn, she is strong./i] He looked over, and saw his older brother... fast asleep against the pillar. "CELTIK, WAKE UP!"He shouted, "You go deal with the woman, and I will deal with the shadow person." Celtik fired a shot at Vasuki's head, and said, "I am the king here. You keep forgetting that." Vasuki, then ran to Aya spinning his nun-chuk at a fast speed.
Celtik looked up, then he looked back at Celes. "Why don't you leave? I was having a wonderful dream, and you ruin it." He then vanished, and suddenly reappeared next to Celes, and pulled the hammer on his gun. "Please leave."

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan's choices were limited, once again, he smiled over to Celes' response, but when Celtik had come out with such a demanding attitude; Aya had to choose fast.

"Oh boy..here we go.."

He aimed his crossbow, sending a bolt out toward the aimed gun of Celtik's in an effort to help Celes, before dropping the left crossbow, letting the nunchuk hit his leather armor followed by dodging down, holding his fists up. "Listen here then, we mean you no harm but if you continue this brash behavior..." He gripped his right crossbow a bit tighter.

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Celtik looked over at the oncoming arrow, and he zoomed out with astounding speeds, and then he zoomed back with his gun pointed at Celes' head. "You are so slow. I am not going to get screwed over again, so drop your weapons and walk out." He said.
"So, are you going to listen to the king?" Vasuki asked, as he taunted Aya.

[Celestia Angelina Chère]

She mentally panicked. He was fast; she'd barely been able to track him with her eyes. She'd have to use every ounce of strength and cunning she had... but she knew she could best him, despite her disadvantage. She slowly looked over her shoulder. "A knight never drops her sword... ever."

And she whipped around her with her sword, an impressive arc that was quite fast towards Celtik.

[King Celtik B. Donnerlupo]

Celtik raised his gun, and stopped it. The dust on the ground got blown for the force, and Celtik looked at her. His forearm was bleeding a bit, and he ignored that as he said, "So those that have a sword are called a knight? I can see it now, you are violent pride filled bitch that fight for your pride, so you fight those that defy you. Your breed must die." He then zoomed away from her, and fired his gun right at her heart.

[Aya Dauzi Invargas]

Ayalan looked past Vasuki, and opened his eye, teleporting past him and pulling Celes back across the side of the pillar.

He took a breath, and looked across the other way toward Vasuki's position. "So..any ideas?" Aya said softly, before rearming his one crossbow, and pulling out his long dagger. His arm had a nice hole in it, that projectile was unbelievably fast, but the adrenaline kept him going. They would only have about...ten seconds?
