Courtyard (South)

[Vamp_from_hell]

Gordon backed up and smiled. " Im not scared" he said putting himselfr into a fighting postion. He getting ready to attack soon. " No. If you think i am weak then you sorely underesimate me. I may look short and scrawney but it only adds to my attack and speed."


His body started to get that redish glow around him again. Jax hurried again knowing everything was going to be alright with Chryos. He need to hurry and help Gordon and the others. he started to use his speed power to get there faster.  

[Krazy Kaori]

Kaori froze where she was and simply stared, slowly letting herself take in all that was happening. She saw the attacks meant to help the male only made things worse and she became unwilling to launch one of her own. She bit her lip as an almost pained expression came over her face. What the hell am I doing? she thought to herself. I came in an attempt to escape the constant fights of home, not join even more!

She clenched her fists at her sides and quickly snatched Kei from the air as he tried to soar further into the fray. "Stop it, right now!" she growled at the small dragon as he tried to pull away, and he froze, startled by Kaori's change in tone. The girl's eyes flashed red as she slowly sheathed her sword against her back and retreated a few steps. She flashed Gordon an almost apologetic face, and then allowed herself to crouch back on the other side of the statue. There she remained, perched on the edge as she decided to just watch the small battle from the sidelines, the dragon clutched tightly in her arms.  

[TESparky]

His eyes opened slightly as his head touched the wall. His vission had returned since he had stopped bleeding. His hearing was still shot as the blood in his ear had dried and his nose was now plugged. Scythress was standing a fair distance away now with her wings shimmering.

This I haven't seen before.

Using the wall to support him, he stood. Since he wasn't loosing blood and his body was beginning to recover, it was less painful this time. The dizzyness was gone but it had been replaced by a headache. He could feel Scytheress, talling him she had transfered some of her energy into him. It was what had kickstarted his healling.

I'm in no condition to fight along with Scytheress, nor does it seem that I should even interfere in these proceddings. What to do?

More thoughts ran through his mind along simmilar lines, thoughts of his past floating through every once in a while. He leaned back, his healling kicking into overdrive now. The wall was hard and cold but soothing to his back. From this distance he could have heard what people were saying if only his ears we unblocked.  

[Wrath_of_Chryon]

Chryos roared out with enough force to shake the ground itself. Partially from the pain caused by the shadow attack on his heart, which he soon began overpowering from the inside out, and from frustration. He yelled out to the others, no commanded, in what seemed to be the harshest voice possible coming out of his mouth for the others to stay back. He needn't worry about their attacks as each of the owners took care of them for him, and as his own struck his body he sunk into it, absorbing its power back into himself. alas when he'd gone all the way through it he fell forward slightly, then caught himself easy and turned to the man in black, a chilish grin upon his face.

"The child can take care of himself, and your right...it is foolish of me to call you only Metran, I'd forgotten what kind of power you people held. Alas I'm no weakling myself, and playtime is over...Allow me to formally introduce myself before we truly begin, no interruptions this time either! My name is Chryos Ichizuro Ichshirion, prince of the land of Ichshirion long ago. And you are? It is always nice to know who your up against correct?"

The final pain from the attack from within had finally subsided, and he had once again prepared to fight, energy seeming to be coursing through his veins now, making sure something like that couldn't happen again. He reached up to his head, untying the steel plated band that rested across his forehead, and tying it again around his waist. below it was a horizontal scar on his forehead, which suddenly seemed to burst open, inside of it a small stone, similar it shape and size to an eyeball, and with an engraving of an eye carved into it. the stone began to spin clockwise and glow, and eventually burst into bluish-white flames. Nonetheless, throughout the entire proccess its gaze didn't leave that of the child of Metran for an instant. He held up his hands, they suddenly turning blue and shaking slightly, then almost instantly being covered in an eerie blue, and quite strong ice. It didn't melt under the heat of the sun and seemed more like a strong metal than actual frozen water.

Chryos smiled again, the "eye" in his forehead blazing, and took a fighting stance. There was something definetely different about him than before, and though his spirit energy was concealed, he seemed to ooze confidence, trying to make sure no one else around would interfere. If they did, they might quite possibly die in the proccess. He was here to fight this man and protect Yusake, in his no doubt weakend state. Any one else was fair game; though he still worried slightly about the child.

Suddenly his face went blank, and he took off, seeming to vanish completely. Quickly and without warning nor energy signature he appeared again, his time in front of the child, lightly punching the kid with the gauntlet and encasing him in the incredibly strong ice, leaving only holes for him to breathe through. His appearance and punch took less than a second, and within the second he was in a new position, to the opposite side of his opponent from the child, a few feet away, and with his hands in front of his chest forming what seemed to be a single ninjitsu seal.  

[Vamp_from_hell]

(( Wait did you hit Jacob?))  

[Scytheress]

((yes, indeed he did. and don't you make another IC post till I do...we've gotta score now.))  

[Raine_Falls]

Alyssa ran out into the courtyard, her breathing heavy and rapid. After the inccident in the library she needed to escape the eyes of everyone there, not being a very social person. Before she could do anything more, she lit a cigarette and took a drag as if she hadn't smoked in years. "Oh God...never again.." she muttered, sitting on the edge of the fountain exhausted, not even noticing the commotion going on only a few yards away.  

[Ceron]

He turned at once to the sound of the woman's voice from afar. So much had already occured in such a few instances. First the child of who directed an attack based off of Chaos, as well as the smaller...creatures only further using up his time. "How inconveniant..." he commented as his hand quickly pulled the boy by his head back. His timing was quite exacting to the moment Chryos would appear in front of the boy. Instead of his punch hitting him, however, it would strike against the man's open, right hand, which was held in front of it. The energy quickly traveled along the man's skin, creating a sheet of frost that soon thickened into ice. Yet, he didn't seem bothered...not in the least, but instead was unfazed. His hand soon turned black, pitch black, forming a series of red, vein like lines over it. The ice began to thin, then almost comlpetely melt, the red lines becoming a shade of blue white. The blackened form of skin traveled up the right side of his chest, forming a line that curved up the side, over the breast, and then traveled into three seperate black strands with the red veins, coursing up to his right eye.

The blue followed these red pathways into his eye, then briefly pulse. The energy Chryos released was gone, having not had the chance to hit the boy. The black and red, as well, had dissapeared within the man's body. "You? You know this boy?" he asked, clutching his head tighter. He didn't respond or react to Chryos hand signs, either oblivious or simply not caring that it was there. "You're God damn right she does, and so do I! Get your mother f#$king hands off of him you b*****d!" it was Yusake, rushing quickly behind Reaper, past her now. Though, he did skid to a quick stop about eight feet from her, as to also avoid harm to Jacob. "Who in the f#$k do you think you are messing with a kid like that?! Why don't ya come 'ere right now and face up to someone your own size, huh?!" the man stopped at the sound of Yusake's voice, his eyes locking on the man. "Yusake..." his tone was softer, slightly, but still audible. He pushed Jacob away and proceeded to approach the now dumbfounded Yusake.

What surprised him was that this man already knew his name. Usually he would have blurted it out already, and he knew he had yet to do that. "W-What? Who the f#$k are you?!" he pulled his metal arm back slightly, readying it both defensively and offensively. The man had stopped about five meters away from Yusake, his eyes shifting only slightly before he would speak. "I shouldn't be surprised that you do not know me. I didn't think you would have ever been told about me, even by accident. She never did care for me..." his eyes narrowed in the slightest. The vague comment didn't help Yusake's temper any, and so he began to yell. "What?! What the hell are you talking about?! Tell me who you are already, God damn it!" he shook his fist in the other man's direction. In response, he lifted his head slightly, giving Yusake a bit of a glare that was...actually somewhat unnerving. "I am Kujiro..." he paused for a brief moment, closing his eyes for but a second before he would continue. "...Kujiro Akimoto." and at that, Yusake stepped back quickly with a gasp.

Yusake was wide eyed, he was in total shock. "W...What?! You-You...you're..." he began, but before he could say it, Kujiro shook his head. "No, I am not father. I am your brother, older of course. And I see it was true, your injured body parts were replaced with Colenian Selvryte. I supposed it is true, Mr. Graves is a miracle worker." again, Yusake was surprised to hear what the man who, apparently, is his brother had to say. "H-How do you know the old man? How the hell do you know about me?!" Yusake was quickly begoming destraught, and losing focus. "Hmph...I know a lot about you, Yusake. I know that you've been enrolled here for over a year, and that you've recently won a match in a tournament against an...angel...hmph...what a joke." he looked to his right, then further behind him, shaking his head disaprovingly. "You dissapoint me though, Yusake. You're far too weak for what you are, for what -we- are. You don't even know about your own heritage, do you? Mother has kept you soft of heart, and of body. Because of her unwillingness to accept what she is, what WE are..."

"...F$%k you! Go to hell you b*****d! Don't you speak about her like that! Don't you -ever- speak that way about her you f#$king b*****d!" Yusake was furious by now, his body trembling...the fact that this man who just now comes along and claims to be related to him. That alone is enough to infuriate him, but to have insulted the name of his own dear mother went too far. "Or what? What -will- you do to me? What can you do, Yusake? You...you and I have been blessed with a gift, one unlike any other. Both of us, we hold the blood of the Serenian, the blood of both the white and the black. The hero of the war, and the cruel emperor who began it. Yet you know nothing of that, nothing of who you are, or what you should be. So...how do you expect to even lay a hand on me without even the slightest understanding of your own power, weakling?" he opened his arms out to other side, almost daring Yusake to strike. Yusake was even more enraged, his teeth grinding tightly as he held back the urge to rush Kujiro.  

[Raine_Falls]

She thought for a few minutes what had happened in the library andbegan to get a guilty conscience for ditching Miki like that. It wasn't that Alyssa didn't like Miki that wasn't the case at all, she just hates all the attention. The one reason why she isn't liked by many people. "Miki...I'm sorry I ran out on you like that. I just disliked the attention your friend was giving me that's all. Plus, I'm not into the fact that I had to use my powers infront of everyone. It's not something I normally do and it just pissed me off. I really am sorry.."  

[Scytheress]

Scytheress's head snapped to the side as Yusake dashed into view. She wanted to yell out to him to get the hell out of here but bit back her tongue with the smallest of hopes that this man didn't actually know Yusake's physical appearance. She was proved wrong my the simple small utterance of his name. Scythe's left ear swivled back to catch every word said, not that any special concentration was needed to hear Yusake's blaring voice, but this.. Kujiro was much calmer and soft spoken now that the other boy had arrived.

Keeping her senses fixed on the proceedings behind her, Scytheress's eyes unfocused and her vague promise to keep the interloping whelps at bay was forgotten. There was no doubt in her mind now that what Kujiro said was true. Yusake was indeed his younger brother and that would explain why Scytheress's thoughts kept pulling to him and why she'd taken such a deep curiosity in him from the start. Perhaps she could have prevented thie fateful meeting if she hadn't taken off for a long leave of absence but instead stayed to investigate. Now however there was no chance at avoiding the doom to come.

One thing that did come as a surprise was the mention of Solumone Graves. Sure he was a reknown merchant and crafts man with undoubtably numerous connections in high places... but to the Metran line? Scytheress turned her right ear almost in anticipation of the older man to showing up. She wouldn't mind seeing him come back, after all he at least would be able to easily deal with the dribble from the few Scytheress was trying to prevent from entering the situation and perhaps give Yusake some clarity. Though her expectation to see him quickly dwindled.

As Kujiro began to speak of the power he had harnessed but Yusake has yet to unlock the Fox was rudely shaken back to reality and her eyes landed on Gordon. For his own sake he had been told to stand down and he'd find no compassion from Scytheress in battle now as she knew death would be preferable to being caught in the mix-up between the Akimotos. Scythe knew all to well the extent of triumphs won by the Serenian power. She spoke softly, again using the wind to carry her voice as to retain as much strength as possible, but the sound had lost its allure and become cold and deadly.

"Come then, oh bold and brazen warrior, meet your death upon my claws."

The two black wings tucked in close to her back but not close enough to actually lay touching her back, but a stray feather fell and brushed barely on the fur ruffle around the neck of Scytheress's jacket and burned through it, turning the strands to ash before comleting it's decent to the ground where it bored itself a home in the earth. Her left arm bent slightly, her palm open and fingers only slightly curled so that the rays of light would catch on the claws she spoke of. Her right arm was drawn back at her side, hand closed into a tight fist ready to deck Gordon the moment he approached.  

[Ausa-kun]

After Serenity said she was tiered and her comment about being a day walker and still being nocternal, she went to her dorm to get some rest. On the other hand, Luka was sill vey much awake. He was starting to ge used to the weight of his new arm, although he still had to get used to not beig able to feel with it. His ears twiched at the cumotion coming from the courtyard and he glanced to see a group of people, who it was he didn't know, or at least couldn't make out. "My eyesmust've been damaged from all those blinding attack Makie did." He sighed sitting down on a near by bench yawning. Next time he was going to fight, he was going to be sure to be ready.  

[Raine_Falls]

Alyssa took another long drag on her cigarette having now noticed the fighting, she decided to stay and watch. Fights always amused her, though she did wish to be in one soon. The blood from her lip had begun to crust in the crevice of her lip, though as usual Alyssa avoided the obvious.

Exhausted, she collapsed against the stone fountain and stared up at the blue sky, her sunglasses blocking most of the colors, still giving her a nice veiw however.  

[Vamp_from_hell]

Gordon bent down and jumped up high. His glow started to grow stronger as he started to curl up into a ball. he started spinning faster and faster till red orbs of chaos energey where firing at Scytheress. " Spradic fire!" he screamed while sping causing more to get fired from his aura.


He knew that theses attack would most likley not hit her but having fought with a guy who could fly he knew what she would most likley do. He as he kept spinning trying not to use up to much energey.  

[Felicity Sumner]

The girl was still there in the thick of things.. strange none tried to remove her yet. Her mind and sences over stimulated from all the energies and words and actions going back and forth at the moment. SHe didn't understand a single shread of it. Her body more or less motionless as all these attacks came whooshing by her body. Should any of them be based in dark energies in anyway the would be pulled off course the same way the chaos attack from Gordon was.

And what's this? A new person with a new word! How interesting this words was, he'd repeated it five times, she made no mistake in mimicing the sound he had made; "F#$k? What's f#$k?" Her eyes bright with curiocity as she had now found something to latch onto and question about. As well her voice was anything but timid or quiet, one would be hard pressed not to notice the apparent four year old cursing.

Should she not get an answer straight off she would then move to the closest person, consequently that was Jacob.  

[Vamp_from_hell]

Suddenly Jax came running seemlying out of nowhere to pick Flecity up. If she didn't stop she would get torn to pieces by Gordon's and the other's attacks. " Listen your power is strong but it will get you killed espcially when Gordon starts using his attacvks spread out. i suggest you leave!" Shepard said throwing her down.
