Deborah

The mortal was fast. Damn fast. In normal conditions Deborah would doubt her 'allies' would last long enough for her to work the miracle, but the rite has gone surprisingly well for the vampire to finish it faster. Perhaps God himself indeed had a hand in that.

Blood bursting from Deb's wrist formed a projectile that she planned to throw at the Hunter. At least it would be good enough distraction.

(OOC: Left it to the dice, and so many exceptional successes that I feel entitled to make it work better than in normal conditions).

Archer had to admit the shredded clothes were a tad bit less revealing from behind than they were head-on, but beggers couldn't be choosers in the evaluation department. The sudden arrival of company didn't shift him from his spot however.

"I don't see how they could've broken your table from the outside." he commented. "And so you aren't my master then? I think that might be for the best; this table is far beyond repair. Last time I was summoned I had to fix a couch."

Vanguard

It had been so many years since he had last awoken, the legendary hero of old times slumbered incased in mighty glaciers. But alas, the fallen guardian was now awake, his presence would be manifested once again.

Feeling a greater force calling to him, he heeded as the very order of the universe twisted and bent, transporting him into some sort of parallel dimension.

The Matou manor had been mostly quiet for a while, but the silence of the night would be broken by a dazzling light, glory illuminating the household's basement like a thousand suns.

Bowing down in submission stood a great metal silhouette, his great cape flapping as the smoke cleared in order to reveal the man's shine.
His head rising to face a woman holding a tome in her hands, he asked with a powerful echoing voice.

"I have heard and heeded to your summons at once. I ask of you, are you worthy to be served by my blade?"

Grenth

As Kayneth spoke Grenth sighed and closed his book, putting it back on the pile before pulling out a more modern one titled ‘The Physics of Exoskeletons’. Lose pages covered with notes were scattered though the book. The destruction of his Golem earlier that night, as hastily constructed it was, proved it might be worthwhile to create a more defensive oriented style.

“You offer is appreciated but unneeded, but I highly doubt you are at skilled enough that you would be of any assistance.” Grenth stated simply, there was no mocking in his words, simply the truth. Grenth was incredibly old, and what he has no done is simply because he has no desire to, rather than any lack of ability.

Instead he dedicated himself to his necromancy, and from there all his arts stem.  And he has spent his incredibly long life on only that persute.

Kayneth, no matter how great he is as a magus, simply does not have the time to reach a level Grenth can say is even close to his own.

“As for a place to stay however I have a few spare rooms upstairs, you can remain for the night and find a less temporary abode tomorrow.  There should be a closet with spare blankets within the hall if you require more; this old house can be cold at times.”




Rebeca

“Thank you so much” Rebeca said as a soft smile appeared on her features. She knew the woman was annoyed… but even if she was strong, there were things that were stronger.

An image of the cowboy man, whose mind was more of a raging sea that would swallow her whole then the calm and still pool that made up other’s, popped into her mind.

“Well, we should head out. Just… keep close, ok?” And like that Rebeca began to walk, “Oh, and uh, keep quite please.” Her hand found its way into her jacket pocket and grasped her mp3 player.

Then, with a tap of a button the sound in her headphone died, and the sounds from the world assaulted her. She gave a slight grimace as she walked, her mind adjusting to the influx of sounds. Fear at what is in the night, love for one’s other, hate for those that steal their peace of mind, peace as they fall to sleep, joy as they spend another night with someone they love. The sounds of all these things flooded her mind from the surrounding buildings from multiple blocks over.

But yet Rebeca filtered through them, she focused as she walked, listening for specific thoughts. Hunger, Bloodlust, uncontrollable lust, these are the things that she listened for.

And she heard them. And she shivered as she felt it. A woman was in pain, she was cold and bleeding as death gripped her, a beast man ripping her apart with its claws and jaws.

And Rebeca felt both sides.

She shivered uncontrollably, but she continued to walk. And Aki and Donkey followed. They dipped though alleyways, side roads, and all sorts of paths. It would seem random to an onlooker, but Rebeca was avoiding them, by a rather large margin in fact, those sounds that made her feel so cold.

It was not long, seemed like forever to Rebeca, until they arrived at an apartment complex. She quickly turned on her music player and let lose a sigh. “Well, here we are…” She mumbled, before leading them inside.

It was not long until they were in rather nice apartment. A sofa and tv were in the main room, a small kitchen nook. There was an open door that led to a bedroom, and three others, most likely closets and the bathroom.

“Well, no home like home I guess.” She declared, as she turned to the pair of guests, her face still slightly pale from listening to those sounds for so long.  “So what do you think?” she asked with a tired smirk.

Faust felt a great gathering of magical energy typical of the summoning of a great and powerful beast. The power chaotically swirled, growing every second it continued.

“Why is this mansion so popular tonight? It’s been less than six hours since the last intruder.” Faust lamented to himself. He began preparing magical defenses and spells, layering many shields on top of each other and prepared to fire off his offensive spells if necessary. He called to his many minions, countless demons in the shadows waited silently to strike at a moment’s notice, only awaiting a thought before moving in to erase their master’s enemies from the face of the Earth.

As the magic reached a crescendo, it exploded into a brilliant white light which enveloped the entire room. When the light cleared, an enormous metal suit of armor remained, and bowed to Rider.

Forest

Forest heard Archer continuing from his perch on the top of the remains of her kitchen table.  He was making no move to get up and Forest said, "No I'm not your bloody master."

She threw off her duster and showed off her bare arms.  "Do you see any sodding Command Seals here?  No.  You're here because the Nexus is a fucking cunt."

Then she looked at the man at her door.  Since her ire and agitation were on high, her mental defenses were on the fritz.  Luckily Archer was wearing something that blocked her telepathy, but this guy  . . .

What, no comment about her having a nice-

Shut up, Xarrest.

Let us take a moment, however, to note the state of what's left of her clothing, falling in just the right places to preserve some degree of modesty, but at the same time-

Goddammit, Xarrest!

...Hmm...violet eyes...possibly possessing psychic abilities?

Wait what?

Isn't violet the color of the Third Eye?

Hold up, the Ajna Chakra is usually separate from the other two eyes.

You doubt the existence of psychics in this world?

I doubt that you're able to pick them out by eye color!


There were two voices, distinct ones in this man's head.  It was like Law and the Driver, but more intense.  She flinched at the onslaught and shook her head, automatically forming her own mental defenses.  In her mind's eye she could see black tourmaline crystals protecting and shielding her thoughts as well as the murder of crows to distract any one trying to peer into her head.

Then there was the giant behemoth of a woman who promptly stated, "We're leaving, Adjutor."  Her whole stance was one of defense.  Obviously she could sense what Forest was and wasn't happy.

Forest pointed to the woman and said, "What I am doesn't make who I am."

Then she pointed to Adjutor and said, "Yes, the voices in your head are right.  I am a telepath.  And that Cosmic Wanker lounging about the ruins of the table that this fannybawbag broke states it can't be fixed and apparently he has like this ridiculously amazing analyzing power or something."

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Lord and Lady this night has really been of the suck."

Saber

The blond nodded and said, "That would be best.  For this, we should rest up for the quest tomorrow.  Shirou and Rin, would you care to join me for dinner?  I can provide funds to cover your meals if needed."

The Fanged Foursome

Great, his weapon is magic, Buffy thought as Spike's arm went flying and her British friend cursed as he cradled the bloody stump.  The spearman advanced on Drusilla, but Buffy wasn't too concerned there.  If given the choice between Spike and Dru, she'd take her "nephew" (Dru's brand of crazy mean that Siring was strict family lines or something.  All Buffy knew was that it drove her crazy when Dru called her "baby sister".) any day of the week.

Buffy darted forward, grabbed Spike and shoved him back to Angelus.  Then the former Slayer was in motion.  She'd seen the guy move and had a good feel about how fast and skilled he was.

That didn't matter.

Dru's blue eyes widened as the spear drove straight through her.  Buffy had staked enough vampires while alive to know when someone made a heart shot.  Spike's wail of anguish as his lover crumbled to ashes echoed through the alley.

While the spearman was busy making Spike single, Buffy pivoted behind him, a near whirling dervish.  She took the moment's distraction to throw a punch directly at his kidneys.

"With regards to that table being unfixable," Adjutor says, "I would beg to differ."

Called it.

Shut up...whoever the hell you are.

"Furthermore," Adjutor says, turning to the robo-golem, "I'm not about to run, screaming or otherwise, from someone just because something doesn't match up in your database. This isn't Helka anymore, though, in all fairness, it isn't quite Orthos either...Anyway, it's..."

Then Adjutor got a good look at the so-called 'Cosmic Wanker'...

You have got to be kidding me. Another one?

"...And you are the fourth one I've encountered today," Adjutor says with a sigh, "So long as another one doesn't show up, everything should be fine, but considering how this day has gone...Regardless, I'm fairly sure I can fix the table."

You've only had this Concept for a few hours, and only used it once.

It was also derived from a magic I've mastered a long time ago.

Good. You're learning.

You're just doing this to piss me off, aren't you?

Not just to piss you off, though I must admit to it being a rather nice bonus.

Sakura woke with a start. She quickly sat up in her bed, fully alert in an instant. She had felt a massive surge of magical energy in the basement where Faust and Rider remained.

“Again?” She said to herself. Sakura quickly checked her internal prana reserves, and after confirming they had returned to normal levels, she opened her magical circuit and began freely supplying her servants with all her excess magical energy. She quickly got out of bed and ran down the stairs in her pajamas. Sakura reached the door and quietly opened it, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Yeah, enough bullshit already." Neo agreed, as he began heading out the bar. "Let's leave this FUBAR to the pigs."

Taking a quick look around the bar as he leaves, Guts allows a quick sigh.

"Getting too old for upstart wolfme-" then he's interrupted by the sounds of sirens and screeching tires. The mercenary raises an inquisitive eyebrow as he opens the door to find himself staring down a pair of those insanely fast horseless chariots they called 'cars' painted in the heraldry of the Nexus police. Of course, the more pressing concern is the tiny cannons held by two of the four city guards and the strange looking devices held by the other two, this problem is further compounded by them standing behind the open doors of the cars, providing a modicum of cover. The officers were aware of their ranged advantage as well, staying well out of range of the Dragonslayer. The cannon would take too much time and, having already witnessed a drive-by during his short time here, Guts is well aware that he wouldn't be able to bring the repeater crossbow to bear quickly enough.

"...Dammit," Guts mutters to himself, raising his hands in surrender as he waits for Neo.

Than'Sanel
In hurried steps he doubled back to the sleeping Ann and Than'Sanel, silently reprimanding himself for the destruction around him.
Than'Sanel kept most of his attention and energy focused upon keeping the floors above them all aloft through his Green-White magically crafted pillars. They weren't the perfect fix, especially given the nature of the collapse. He doubted that he could see something like it on Ravnica, outside of Simic. While he didn't appreciate Ann taking a nap, he supposed that it made sense for her to do so, given the apparent value he and Sarse shared in preserving innocent life - such strong Black magic as Ann's would have surely killed without discretion.

"Sarse, do you mind making sure all innocents are gone from this floor? Keeping this steady is not an easy task alone."

"...Dammit," Guts mutters to himself, raising his hands in surrender as he waits for Neo.

The blonde alchemist billowed more smoke as he watched the police finally arrive in the scene of the bloody crime in the bar. It seems as if Neo's excessively gory insistence in killing the werewolf has finally paid off, and he was no stranger to the sight of law enforcers wanting to apprehend him. In fact, it happened so many times to him, he thought it was as habitual as having his teeth cleaned by a dentist.

So far, he could see a couple of the officers pointing firearms at them and all he did was to snigger at the whole scene. He then looked beside and saw that the mercenary was actually raising his hands up to surrender himself. For the punk, it was a shame to see a battle-hardened man like him was giving up without a fight, especially with all the armor and weapons he could muster to put up one.

"Hey, man. What the fuck are you doin'?" He told him. "It's just a couple-a gats outta t'ere, stop bein' a sissy. I've gotta plan right now and ya' bettah listen."

"I've been through this routine before," Guts says as he shakes his head at the blonde's bravado, "It's better to not give the authorities a reason to get violent, most of the time. Besides, doesn't really matter where I spend the night, just so long as those punk werewolves don't try wrecking my place while I'm away."

Then the screams finally start.

About damn time...

"Hands where we can see them!" shouts one of officers, while another makes his way back to the trunk of the cruiser. Neo's refusal to show any signs of surrender has earned him the honor of having the remaining three officers draw a bead on him while the fourth continues to search around the trunk for...something. Meanwhile, Guts takes the opportunity to reach one hand across behind his back and start fiddling with the metal arm a bit.

Neo laughed a bit when he heard the law enforcers call him out for compliance. As much as he hated this scene, the blonde is still smug to himself that there is still a fighting chance for the two of them and still holds this indomitable hope that they could get out of this without spending a night in jail.

"Here's the deal, man." Neo began speaking to the mercenary. "When I give ya' da signal, you pull out yo' big-ass sword, plant it on the ground and hide behind it, 'kay? On the count of three, man."

"One." Neo began counting.

"I have another plan," Guts says, hand inching closer to Dragonslayer's handle, "But hey, whatever you think works."

At this point, the cop searching the trunk finally finds what they're looking for. A grenade launcher, likely loaded with either riot grenades or tear gas rounds.

"You do realize that we're the only ones left, right?" Guts says, eyebrow raised at the sight of the weapon.

"There was a werewolf sighting," the officer shoots back, "And they don't usually go by themselves."

"This one did," the mercenary points out, sighing, "And blondie burned it to death. Amongst other things..."

"You do realize that we're the only ones left, right?" Guts says, eyebrow raised at the sight of the weapon.

"There was a werewolf sighting," the officer shoots back, "And they don't usually go by themselves."

"This one did," the mercenary points out, sighing, "And blondie burned it to death. Amongst other things..."

"Two..." Neo uttered. He was almost ready to execute whatever plan he cooked up in his mind.

"...Three!" He then fluidly drew out his M1911 and dove-dodged to the side, away from the mercenary and fired a couple shots toward the police officers, particularly on one of them who opted to take cover behind a car door, since car doors don't stop bullets. Neo then landed to the ground on his back and fired a couple more shots to the other officer who is behind another car door.

Neo's plan was to have the metal-handed mercenary draw out his enormous bludgeon of a sword first to distract the officers towards him, which will then give the blonde punk sudden but ample time to perform his side-dive and fire at the officers while minimizing the risk of him being shot. Since the mercenary man would move first to plant his sword on the ground to use it as a shield from projectiles, the three officers with firearms and a taser would inevitably shoot at him first, making the one armed with the taser waste his one shot, since taser electrodes don't adhere to steel and, even if they did, the swordsman could let go of it fast enough to not get shocked with the taser's current.

Furthermore, Neo didn't worry about the officer with the grenade launcher for various reasons. If the launcher contained tear gas rounds, the canister can be quickly picked off the ground and thrown back or kicked back towards the officer who launched it. If it contained other types of rounds, however, their apparent distance from the police officers means that the effects of the round can still be felt by officers themselves. And even further, Neo can shoot him fast enough if he ever tried to launch a round, since the guy with the taser already fired his one shot at the mercenary man, and he would have to load another cartridge to fire another set of electrodes.
