The Saints Strike

[Everto Ferox]

Everto raised his large blade and blocked Volkmar's, laughing as he pushed him back. "This, is the cycle, OF BATTLE!"

He roared, his sword turning to a hammer as he slammed down on the mercenary.

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

"What?!" He said as he raised his blades, to block it. "Damn, this is PREFECT!" He said as he looked at the sky, as the sun was close to setting. "When the sun set, that is when you will meet your fate!" He rolled out of the way, and threw and uppercut at him.

[Gensayce Zidjiai]

Gensayce's movements were fluid alongside Tidus' as he used his spear like a polevault, leaping over the Blitzer and spinning somewhat in mid-air before landing on the floor and swinging his spear around low towards the Saint's feet.

[Maliciferum]

Malice cackled again. "And give up an opportunity to fight you? Has fear taken hold of you, Bartholomew?" Malice raised an arm, and the blooms began growing into large creatures. "Protect Harumi!" Malice commanded his his new botanical brigade.

[Kain Angelo]

Kain used Everto's armor to protect him from a nasty bite one of the creature would have given him, quickly finishing off the beast only in time to turn to see the girl rushing at him.

"Well I didn't expect that..." Kain muttered twirling his sword just in time to block a blow, now behind came marching those plant creatures. Kain could sense this so he held his hand out and Nia's flame flew out of his hand holding them off. He was now battling Jasmine, those undead creatures and a plant monster... He was sure if he kept calm he would be able to win.

[Bartholomew]

"Fear? Ha. That is big talk from a weed." He said, as his blade was lightly touching Malice's scar. "Did you forget that I gave you that last time? Or do you need another reminder." He quickly pulled back his sword and swung it down at him.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Roxa lept over the sweeping attack of his new combatant before leaping to the right of the Tidus, he then quickle rushed back at the pair, making sure to slash left and then right before releasing a huge gust of wind in the area around him, aiming to knock them both back slightly, giving him some room to breath.

[Maliciferum]

The left sleeve of Malice's living clothing formed a shield, and malice blocked Bartholomew's blade with it. The talons on Malice's right hand extended to three feet long, and he swiped at Bartholomew's unprotected torso.

[A.B.A.]

A.B.A. pulled the shield and pole arm together, shining softly before reforming as a broad axe. As the birds of light pulled her away from Aya, she coaxed them to go higher into the air, giving her a chance to survey the chaos. It was then she saw the swarm approaching Kain and with a commanding pull she urged the birds towards him. "Forgive me Alessia, but I believe you can handle the ruffian by yourself." She called out from above.

At last above the center of the battle A.B.A. plummeted downwards, the weight of her axe cleaving through one of the undead beasts on contact. "Do not waste your power on such lesser things sir, I shall hold them off if you wish." A.B.A. turned to face Jasmine, readying her axe to swipe as the girl drew near.

[Bartholomew]

"Grr." He said as he grabbed his chest. He lifted his sword and swung it down at Malice multiple times. "Your plants will never prevail!"

[Van]

"OOF!" Van appeared about a yard from the battlefield. He fell on his back, shook his head, and stood up. "Sorry Saints, I rolled on a teleportation vial by accident and ended up all the way to-but that's not important." Van found himself by Bart. "Need help exterminating weeds?"

[Bartholomew]

"Yes. Have fun with him." He said, "He has become a nuisance. This toy bores me now." He said, as he walked away. "Watch out for his pollen."

[Maliciferum]

Malice decided to let Bartholomew go, his time would come. Malice focused his attention on the new opponent before him. "I am Herba Maliciferum." Malice said giving a graceful and sweeping bow. "Let me see how strong you are!" Malice swung his arms at the opponent, releasing thousands of venomous thorns into the air.

[Sonorc Optimus]

"Damn Whippersnappers. 'Oh, Sonorc, You can just wait here. We will make them attack here. You won't have to walk around and hurt your hip and back!'" He mocked Kain. He had heard the fighting from down the trail, and saw the fight. "Ooh boy. I am going to sit this one out." He found a fallen tree, and he sat on it, and watched the battle.

[Van]

"All right, then." Van whispered to himself. He crouched down, planted his feet, and took off. He headed straight for the cloud of thorns. Van got as close to them as he thought he should, then jumped in the air. He passed over them, a couple striking against his boots. His sleeves flew off and he curled his three fingered hands into fists and put them together. He was close to Malice now. He raised his fists and brought them down hard. Van hit something, whether it was the man himself, or merely a blockade. The force of his attack threw him into the air a second more, and Van rolled over his target to the ground.
