The Rise of Sins (War 1.5.1 Boss fight)

[Bartholomew]

Bart then laughed at Volkmar's idea of beating him, "Like the likes of you would be able to beat me. Even with Roxa's help, it will be pointless to fight. But I will reward you two. I will show you what Hellious does to you."
Bart tugged on the strings on his cloak, and let it fall to the ground revealing a white tunic, and black pants. "As this cloak was given to me by Duo, not only to give me the powers of the Saint, but to suppress what Hellious has done to me."
His skin started to mutate, and turned into his Sin form making him stand above 11 feet in height. His sword in his hand, and his bladed tail swung in anticipation.
"Come at me. I will make sure that you will die in this spit of land!" He said, as he dashed with force, cracking the salty ground, swinging his sword at Roxa, and his tail at Volkmar.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar quickly blocked the tail and swung down with his other sword to cut off Bart's tail. When his sword met his tail, it stopped the sword in it's track.
"What" Volkmar said as he was pushed back with the tail's mighty force. Volkmar charged again and swung his sword at Bart's back, but again the weapons didn't penetrate the body armor.

[Sahir Masbrati]

Sahir looked over her shoulder as Dral pulled back for another flyby, looking concerned that her flash bang had failed to either distract the man or draw his attention. "Okay, so that sucked. Plan B then." Reaching along her belt for a knockout bomb nudged Dral towards the battle taking place. At least she was till the man removed his cloak and transformed into something hideous. Fearful of the new being before her she reined her winged friend up and away from it.

"That's bad. That's really really bad." Dral whined out at her in protest. "I know I know, I said I'd help and I'm going to. Just might need to use something a little more extra strength. Take me down and around for one more pass. I'll be ready then." Breathing deeply and holding on tight to Dral's scaled neck she swung her pack around and began rummaging through it's contents.

Whipping down past the fallen tower and over the battles playing out against the monsters and her allies Sahir pulled out a trio of small orbs all wrapped in clothes. "Got them!" It couldn't have worked out any better, as Dral's glide had brought them perfectly over the horrible creature battling Volk and Roxa. Tossing one down squeamishly she couldn't bring herself to look as the acid bomb hurtled down at what used to Bart.

[Bartholomew]

Bart laughed at Volkmar. "Do you think one could survive in Hellious without developing tough skin? You are going to try harder than that." He said before he was struck in the back by one of the acid bombs. He cringed in pain as the acid seeped between the armor plate.
"RAUGH!" He roared in pain as he looked up at Sahir. He pointed his tail at her, then fired the end at her, flying at a fast speed. The blade then grew back at the tail.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa flashed through the sky, his silver blade sweeping to the side as he sliced the projectile away from Sahir. He fell back to the earth, and landed in a solid roll which swiftly brought him up and on to his feet. He straight away charged for Bart, both his swords primed for action as he gained ground on his opponent, Roxa had narrowed his eyes at his former allies transformation and he couldn't help but cringe at the monster he had become, but then he thought of Ave... Just what he himself was capable of. Was he any better?

He leaped up into the sky at the last moment, bearing down upon Bart with the tips of both his blades pointing directly at the space between his neck and collarbone. If this armour was chitinous, similar to that of a bug, joints would be the weak spot.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar stopped from sliding back from Bart's attack. Volkmar then started to charge up his blade, and swung it down, making a massive arc heading towards Bart. Volkmar then ran right behind it with his swords out to the side, and then became in full berserk mode.

[Bartholomew]

Bart quickly raised his sword to block Roxa's downfall upon him. He glanced over to the side, and saw the massive arc heading towards him. Bart then grabbed Roxa's sword and threw him with force towards the arc, and Bart moved backward to find the flying acid bomber.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa's reactions remained as sharp as ever as he launched himself over the arc with a quick hiss of air, before tumbling to the ground behind it. He rolled across the ground a few times, his swords scattering to the floor with a crash as he picked himself up on to his knees with a snarl. Clenching his fists, he gathered up his blades and charged forwards again, his blades glinting in the murky sunlight breaking through the clouds of ash and dirt that the battle had picked up, staining against the skin of the combatants.

[Bartholomew]

Bart just turned to see the cloud surround Roxa, and upcoming Volkmar. He swung his sword to block Volkmar's attack, but it made the ground around Bart crack from the force. He pushed Volkmar away and swung his sword, making a large wind gust blowing the dust around Roxa away. He then charged toward Roxa with his the sword in the striking position but his arm was out to the side.

[Sahir Masbrati]

"Did...did it hit?" Sahir shirked from a full glance, discomforted by the idea of inflicting such a gruesome death to anything, monster or human, with the acid bomb. To a girl who had used her arsenal only for distraction or infiltration up to this point just thinking of what she might have done caused her to gag. It was only from a worried cry from Dral and a quick turn around that she was able to force herself to focus on the battle once more ahead of her.

"It's still alive? How is it still alive? What are we suppose to do?" Sahir eyed the two bombs that she still held tightly in her hand until a wave of nausea hit her. She was barely able to use the first one, she couldn't force herself to do it again. Frustrated she slipped them back securely in her sack, passing by the battle as Dral roared impatiently. "I know damnit! Okay, but I don't think I can even use it against this thing. Fine, we go back to what we know. Once more, and make it nice and close okay?"

Swooping like a descending vulture on its prey Dral cut a spiral path that circled around Bart. Once down to only a few meters Sahir snatched another vial from her belt, gave it a shake and with a boisterous "NOW!" hurled it at Bart. Shielding her eyes the powerful alchemic flash bang burst and filled the area with light and sound. Knowing by her command Dral averted its eyes and kept on his path, circling once more before flying low enough to ram the monster with its full mass.

[Bartholomew]

Bart stopped his charge to Roxa when he saw Dral out of the corner of his eye. He grinned and quickly covered his eyes with his sword as the flashbang made his ears ring, but his sight was still intact. So as Dral came in to ram him, Bart then charged towards Dral with his sword aiming right at Dral, and his hand in an open palm strike right at Sahir.

[Sahir Masbrati]

Unable to see as it burst from the vibrant veil of light created by the flash bang Dral had only the smallest fraction of a second to see the deadly blade coming for it's body. Startled by the sudden counterattack he shrieked and bucked hard to the side, leaving the blade his scaled neck and shoulders to slice.

His sudden reaction to both the attack and the pain it inflicted stirred Sahir from her safe perch atop Dral. She would have cried out in fear for her companion's safety, were there any breath left in her lungs to cry after Bart's palm strike caught her square in the chest, jostling her apart from her steed. Tumbling down near the edge of the roof she felt every muscle spasm as her body tried desperately to let oxygen fill her once more.

Dral, where are you? She couldn't see. Her eyelids refused to open even as the residual light of her flash bang faded into its last twinkles. Only his whining could be detected. Fearful as she was, his cries were at least a sign that he was still alive. At last sweet sweet air flowed once more into her and her muscles once more responded to her commands. Get up. Get up and open your eyes! Her mind screaming in desperation she winced for a moment before her eyelids fluttered open to make out the faint form of Bart standing towering over her. It elicited a speechless sputter as she scrambled back to her feet, bring Umbravox to bear and trying to look desperately for any sign of Dral.

Sadly her companion was nowhere to be seen, with only a trail of smashed shingles trailing past Bart and off the edge of the roof. He laid injured yet conscious on the ground beneath the raging battle, attempting to rouse the strength needed to once more rise and defend his God Slayer.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

'Dammit!' Roxa thought as he pursued Bart, trying his hardest to catch up to him before he launched an attack against Sahir and Dral but he knew that he wasn't going to be able to make it in time. He had to settle for the next best thing. Whilst Sahir searched for Dral, Roxa launched up into the air, bursting through the cloud of ash, he bore down upon Roxa, his blade aiming straight for the former Saints back.

For Hellious' sake, brother. Just let me have him. I will burn him. I will end him. I will give you your vengeance, Roxa.

'No! I need to know where Alessia is...'

Stop being a child. Let. ME. BURN HIM.

Roxa pushed the entity to the back of his mind with a growl as he grew closer to Bart.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

As Bart approached Sahir, Volkmar came down between the two like a guillotine. His aura was monstrous and flaring about making his appearance more menacing. Volkmar then swung both of his swords upward, making an X-cut on Bart's chest armor.

[Bartholomew]

Bart was startled by Volkmar's attack, and the strike on his chest. While some blood trickled out of his chest, it stopped. Bart then growled and thrust his foot as a powerful kick, moving Volkmar away from him. Bart felt the wind burst, and turned around to see Roxa coming down towards him. Bart then extended and swung his tail towards Roxa hopping to slam into him and catch him off guard.
