Cross Effects 3.0 - October 21, 2015—June 23, 2016

[Elf]

Corbin

"Oh fuck this," Corbin murmured to himself as he took to the air as the blond hit with the force of an angry god.  Gravity gave way to his will as he rose to the air, not yet touching the ceiling of the structure that the gas tanks were under.  It also meant he wasn't in direct sunlight, thank God.

He stayed above her, flicking his hair back from his face before calling out to her, "You're a troublesome one you know that.  I was going to let you and your friend go but noooooooo.  You have to be a right bitch and attack me.  I'm not even on the bloody clock."

Yet he stayed up there, watching her, waiting for this lovely creature to make her move, and when he did, he'd counter her.  Probably sink my fangs into that dainty neck of hers. Bugger, with that power she's wielding her blood has to be a trip.


Forest

That's it, Rikuyo, keep me on the defensive and don't let me get close, Forest thought with a smirk.

Somehow the sparring match had become sort of a lesson, for both of them.  Which was fine with Forest; this wouldn't be her first lesson of hard knocks she'd taught.  Darting forward would be a mistake, but darting back, to the side and coming at Rikuyo from there would be workable.

Fluidly, Forest moved into one of her favorite strikes, a side kick that started at the side of the head and then rapidly went down for a blow to the kidneys.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The force of her kick had sent the man flying up close to the ceiling and now it seemed like he was staying there, So the bastard can fly huh. He was doing rather well she supposed most people wouldn't be standing after this, that was about to change though. 

Shinobu looked around her and noticed that there were gas tanks there. The man had started bitching about not being on the clock which the vampire just outright ignored. Instead she took the chance to rip one of the tanks out, petrol spilling everywhere before throwing it in his direction with a mighty heave.

[Elf]

Corbin

People were starting to run and panic, and worse off some of the wankers were recording everything on their smart phones.  The little tart literally ripped one of the gas tanks out of the concrete, the smell of fresh gasoline filling the air as it spilled everywhere. Then she hefted it and tossed it at him.

"Fuck me," he groused before moving to the side, the gas tank barely missing him.  He now reeked of it though, which meant it would be hours in the shower before he got the smell completely off.  His sword was at his bike, parked not too far away, but it might have been on the fucking dark side of the moon with that monster between him and it.

Shooting his gun might be suicide with all the bloody gas everywhere.  He looked at her, then shrugged before barreling straight at her from above.  His fingernails were already formed into claws as he reached her, going to grab the little wench.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou and Shirou Emiya

Sakura turned to face Rider and smiled weakly. She thanked her quietly as she took a plate and silver from Rider. Shirou quickly followed suit.

[SINIB]

"It'll do for now, I need to try them on first." Oka said to Jin.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Shinobu did not care as whatever people present in the area started panicking and behaving like humans usually do in such a situation. The throw had left her in a crouching position, recollecting herself while awaiting the outcome.

And it missed, or rather the man dodged the gas tank. he then observed the surroundings no doubt looking for something that could be to his advantage before deciding to drop down straight at her.

"What a fool" she said as she while concentrating on something, the man was still falling and was almost upon her. a split second later a blade appeared in her hand, Shinobu then quickly executed an upwards slash towards the man who was almost on top of her now.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider returned Sakura's smile with a warm smile of her own, before following her master's lead and taking a seat next to her, the opposite side from Shirou. She was worried about how Sakura might be feeling, but she didn't want to make a scene of it, so she simply acted as normal as she could.

[Elf]

Corbin

"What a fool," the blond twat said as he was almost on her.  He saw the blade in her hand, which apparently came from out of fucking nowhere, and she slashed up towards him.  The blade bit into his skin, but he hissed, feeling his senses sharpen as his fangs began to throb. 

His tainted blood dripped onto Shinobu as his vision flashed red. He released his control of gravity and fell on top of her, aiming his fangs to her throat.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The bastard fell ontop of her ignoring the wound she had made. Shinobu dropped the sword while falling down to the ground and as fast as she could she raised her hand to grab his head, he had beared his fangs and were aiming at her throat, not like she was going to allow that. She managed to grab him just before he could sink his teeth into her and activated her energy drain.

"Tell me how does it feel to fall so far, oh my bad you can not tell me anything now because you are in too much pain haha".

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Van/Alma

The girl narrowed her eyes, got the poor man's head out of the rubble and helped him up. She dusted the dust off his dusty clothes and gave him a gentle slap on the back. Taking a good look at him, her eyes suddenly narrowed, but she closed them and spoke carelessly.

"Sorry about that. I sensed a strong presence intruding and feared you might be in danger, but it seems there was no need for such concern. Next time, please use the door."

Then, she tilted her head, sighed and smiled, revealing two beautiful azure eyes pulsating with a light glow. She held out her hand to him in a friendly manner, without any sign of hostility.

"Archer was it. It is a pleasure to meet you. Call me Vanguard."

Unsteadily, Archer let the girl brush him off, still dazed from the impact. It could have been worse, but dying so soon after sort of coming back to life wasn't part of the plan.

Gingerly, as if expecting her to crush his hand at any second, Archer shook Vanguard's offered hand and shook it. He fought the instinct to bow as well, a little bit of his past life seeping through.

[Elf]

Corbin

The bitch grabbed him and it felt like everything he had was being drained from him.  His now crimson eyes met hers as his nerves flashed raw within him.  The urge to scream and cringe was strong, but he could hear Galahad's voice in his head.

"Even though it hurts and you want to black out, if you do it will be death.  Bare it and get through it, Corbin. Surviving is the most important thing when faced against someone you cannot beat."

And you never found anyone you couldn't beat Galahad, he thought before pulling his gun out of it's holster.  His hands were shaking, his body was barely responding to the white blaze of pain.  Yet he was able to turn the safety off, lift the gun to her head, and squeeze the trigger.

The gunshot was deafening, and the gas that was on his arm blazed into flames, which also passed down onto her due to her being soaked in gas as well.


Rin

Rin sighed in relief as the two of them shook hands. 

She moved a hand to brush her hair back when she realized she was still completely naked.  Cheeks heating up, she pointed at them and said, "G-go out there while I finish getting cleaned up and dressed.  Then I can tell you what you've missed Archer and figure out what to do for prana . . ."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Shinobu's head was momentarily blown back but what she assumed to be a gunshot, her arms still maintained their grip around the man's head independent of her conscious will. the shot did disorient her for a second, when she came to she noticed that her arm was on fire and so was his.

As the fire spread Shinobu just maintained the drain with a murderous grin completely uncaring of the flames.

[Elf]

Corbin

Her grin was murderous, and she didn't care that he'd just shot her point blank and that she was on fire.  That blinding pain was still running through him as his limbs felt like lead.  His strength was leaving him more and more. 

If this keeps up I am so fucked.

Her wrist was inches away from his lips.  With a roar, he swung his legs up around her arm holding his head and twisted his body, twisting enough so he could bite her wrist.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The man suddenly roared and swung his leg up and around her, twisting his body in the process and then bit down on her wrist.

"So useless" she chided him as she pulled back her arm as hard as she could, the very flesh and tendons that held her hand in place torn apart by the force ultimately seperating it from her body. With a yell she spun around her body while pushing down the hand that was still on his head sending him face first into the ground.

[Elf]

Corbin

The crazy bitch had just torn her hand off before yelling and pushing him into the ground.  His face kissed the gasoline soaked ground as she forced him there.  He closed his eyes and focused, letting the pain go as he shifted forms. 

He ripped under her hand, growing smaller and sliding out of her grip as flesh and hair rippled into glossy black feathers.  Cawing loudly, the large crow took to the air.  He eyed her with his aquamarine eyes and thought to himself, We're going to need a bigger boat.
