[MISSION ONE] DAM IT TO HELL

[Kitteh.]

Haru watched the boy, somewhat amused with his recklessness. He quickly took note that this boy was going to get himself into alot of trouble with that personality of his. Catching the punch with one hand and grabbing the wrist of the other while avoiding the knife, he kept his movements swift and fluid motions.

Haru didn't hesitate one bit to knee the younger boy in the stomache and knock him to his side to the floor, letting go of his hands in the mean time. Other than that, Haru didn't move. It was like he was mocking the boy for being so uncompossed, although it was all unintentional. But it's not like Haru cared about what Lutec thought of him.

" Don't bite off more than you can chew. I don't like to take any unnecissary lives. "

[red]Finally, he's /doing/ something![/red] Roxy adjusted her footing as soon as she felt land and faced Mia. [red]So he's going for a head on attack? This'll make things intresting![/red]. Something in her felt that he was up to something, but she put the thought behind her.

To Mia it may have looked like she phased out for a few seconds, but once her attention was back on the white haired boy, she too lunged towards him. She was already getting over the wound on her leg, but she didn't put the whole thing behind her.

She figured that Mia learned the key factor to her attacks, so she had to keep a lookout on Mia's attack just in case he tries to land a hit on her lower body again. Without her speed, she'd be practically helpless when it comes to attacking or defending.

[Kai]

Lutec coughed and spluttered, the wind knocked out of him by the man's rather painful knee. He snapped his hands out of the man's grip, dropping his blade in the process, but he barely noticed the few steps backwards he took until he felt his entire body drop. The dog demon let out a yelp as he fell from the lip of the dam, and suddenly the pain in his stomach didn't seem so serious.

"Whoa--AIIIIEIEEEHHH!!!!" He yelled, being able to feel nothing but the wind soaring past him as gravity tugged the boy towards the rubble. However, Lutec's panic-stricken face quickly contorted into determination. Hell no! He wasn't dying like this! In a blind rush for some kind of plan, he thrust his hand back into his pocket, pulling the second of his twin blades from within the fabric. He then desperately tried to move his body towards the wall of the dam, managing to flip himself upright with the aid of his tail as a counterbalance.

"Dear God, this better work!" He thought, before he gripped the blade tightly in his fist and attempted to dig it into the grey stone. The first attempt failed, making the quick screech of metal on rock, but without hesitation he tried again. This was his only solution, save from being flatten by pure gravity. Success! With the second thrust, Lutec managed to catch an existing crack in the wall and the blade burrowed into it. It carved down the wall as if this lower section were like butter and slowly decreased the young demon's velocity. He still landed at some speed with a thud, making his left leg pang with the impact, but at least he wasn't dead! Lutec grinned, brushing the sweat of panic from his brow and pulling his blunted blade from the concrete wall. After looking up, trying to spot a glimpse of the man who had sent him down here, he went to turn around and instantly found himself having to flatten his grey-toned body against the wall. He'd forgotten about the fight below him, and seemed to have landed conveniently in the thick of it. The boy just hoped that they were all too busy fighting each other to notice him too much, seemingly forgetting about his yelp at the top of the dam.

[Kitteh.]

When the two clashed in the air, Mia couldn't use his wrist blades against her knives. Those weapons can't stand the force. Plus the weapons underneith his jacket were out, it'd take to long to get. Mia improvised and grabbed her hands/wrists (depending on the angle), not letting go. He headbutted her, hard. Of course, no one wins in a head butt, so Mia received the same amount of damage as she did, except that he was just more prepared for it. He still didn't let go of her hands/wrists. He wasn't done with her.

They both dropped downward onto the edge of a large piece of debres, and Mia barely managed to land on his feet. It was fortunate that it was there too, or they both would've had a highrisk of getting an infection if they fell in the muck.

---------------

Haru watched the boy slip down the cliff, blinking once in surprise. He made his way over to the edge and peered down to watch. Haru didn't know the kid had wits inside that hot head of his. Good for him. The teenager simply made his way toward the edge of the damn to get down without falling.

[Rah]

Mia grabbing her wrists made Roxy extremely confused. She gave him a "What the hell are you doing?" look...or at least tried to. The headbutt completely caught her off guard, and made her severely dazed. [red]I know he was planning a head on approach, but this is ridiculous![/red]

Staggering and still dazed, she regained her footing after landing. Her head was throbbing and she tried raising one of her arms to rub it; at least until she realized Mia still had a firm hold on her wrists. She blinked, still confused about what Mia was doing. Hopefully it's not another blow to the head.

She narrowed her eyes, now extremely annoyed,[red]"Let. Me. Go."[/red]

[Kitteh.]

Mia merely smiled at her reaction and struck his foot out, knocking the shape shifter's feet out from under her. As she fell toward the floor he let go of the hands to which he was gripping so firmly, as if obeying the order she gave him. He had to bite back the urge to apologize right away.

Mia squatted down and watched her while he defense was momentarrily out of commission. Hugging his knees he smiled innocently and apoligently like.
" Ah, sorry, I thought we were just warming up. Was that too rash? "

[Rah]

Roxy gave a small frown. [red]What's this guy smilin' about now..?[/red] The movement of his foot caught her attention, and she soon caught on. She tried to pry herself from his grip before the inevitable happened, but she failed.

She gave a suprised yelp with her loss of footing, and she dropped one of her knives with the fall. She mentally hit herself for her poor choice of words. Sitting up, her eyelids flattened as she saw Mia move down to her level.

" Ah, sorry, I thought we were just warming up. Was that too rash? "

One of her eyes twitched and she forced a smile, [red]"No, no. Everything's perfect."[/red] She realized his guard was down, and moving as quickly as she could at the moment, she knocked Mia over with the same trick he used on her. Jumping to her feet, she moved a few paces back.

The pain in her leg was long since forgotten about, and she faced Mia with a small smile. The edge of her lip was twitching,[red]"But try that again and you'll get more than a little trip."[/red]

[Arky]

The angel grimaced, leaning over the bloodied, crumpled form of the Zukaian demon, unsure about what course of action to take. At least the guy was breathing and all – he wasn’t exactly keen on performing CPR on him. He sat back on his haunches, closing his eyes and breathing out as he tried to think – something that was growing increasingly difficult with the battle raging around him. What the hell was he doing here, anyway? He should be dead, really, he was dead. And yet here he was, some sort of birdman or angel, fighting for the opposite side. Well at least he looked the part now.

Vince blinked, looking up at the sound of one of the other soldiers yelping, immediately turning his gaze back to Aiden. He had to get this guy out of harms way, at least. Scratching his head, the young man crouched down, dragging the bloodied, messed up demon towards a sheltered alcove just off the side of the dam. The going was slow and tedious, being careful not to worsen the others condition – not that it could really get much worse anyway. For once in his life he was willing to say he’d kill for some flat ground. Everything was so damn rough and crumbling that it just made his whole bloody job twice as hard. But he persisted, easing his way around the obstacles patiently with his ‘companion’ in tow, sighing with relief as he neared the wall. Just a little ways to go and then they’d be fine. Just a little longer…

Of course he hadn’t really expected someone to fall from the sky.

The white winged man jumped as the dog demon landed just before him, hitting the ground with a soft thump before quickly pulling his blade, now blunt, from the wall. He watched on, unsure what to do now, as the child grinned in triumph, seeming quite pleased with himself up until he turned around. The Zukai boy pressed his body to the wall, then, seeming surprised to find himself in the thick of battle. And there was he, standing around with the limp body of Aiden in his arms, his Lao uniform splattered in demon blood.

…this was bad.

"Uh…" Vince drawled, blinking stupidly as his mind began to race. He opened and closed his mouth once or twice, surprised to find his brain forming words he didn’t even understand himself, words in the native tongue that he hadn’t even realized he’d known. "Gie, zg…K oku’a sykus ay gzva eyz.” Hey, uh…I ain’t going to hurt you. He offered, taking one careful step forwards and laying Aiden down before raising his blood stained hands in a weak effort to seem harmless. "K xuyp K tyyx tkxi o Lao rza…K myu’a bksga byv agid.” I know I look like a Lao but…I don’t fight for them. He quickly added, pacing slowly forwards and praying to god he didn’t startle the kid.

[[Shit post cos my computer here at school is shit gksdafh]]

[Kai]

Lutec blinked. Having narrowly avoided the raccoon girl and... the other one, he was now faced by a white-haired, white-winged... angel-man-thing. Who was talking to him in a language he couldn't make heads or tails of. He recognised it, though. It was Zukaian. How did a guy in Lao uniform know Zukaian?! Lutec shook his head - he didn't know and he didn't have the time to sit and figure it out. He simply blinked again, cogs whirring dully as he tried to think of something to say.

"Uhhhhh... What?" Was all he could muster from the cabbage he called a brain. This guy didn't seem Lao... True enough, Lutec could recognise the uniform now he was close-up, but he'd seen the guy defend Aiden just a short while before. Which brought his attention back to the unconscious mess in the Angel's arms. To tell you the truth, it almost made him smile to see the egotistic bastard so helpless like that. In fact, it did. The flicker of a grin touched the edges of his expression as he suppressed what felt like laughter. The dog demon watched as the Angel put Aiden down, then begin to step towards him. He recoiled a little, purely out of instinct and not that he could go far with the wall behind him. Amber eyes kept a close eye on the Lao. He couldn't understand what he was saying, but the guy didn't seem to want to hurt him.

"Oh please, Lutec. If he was going to harm you, he probably would have done it by now. Lao don't think about their actions - they just kill. You still might not be able to trust him, but he's not gonna hurt you."

The little voice in his head was right, as usual. If Lutec was about to be mauled by a Lao, it wasn't going to be this guy. Instead, he paid attention to the outstretched, albeit bloody, hand.

"...Who the hell are you?"

[Arky]

"Uhhhhh.. What?”

[/b]

Well shit, the kid didn’t even speak Zukaian. Brilliant.
He caught the Zukai boy staring at Aiden, proceeding to grow terribly fidgety and nervous. "I-It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it-" The angel murmured weakly, becoming rather confused when the boy smiled ever so slightly. Well, obviously he hadn’t done something too bad if it was making the kid smile, right? The angel slowly, carefully, lowered Aiden to the ground, casting a quick glance over his somewhat peaceful expression before taking a tentative step closer. The boy recoiled and he swiftly backtracked, standing tensely as the other continued to stare. Relax man, keep your cool, you’re okay… He thought, gulping back nerves as he regained that lost step, once again advancing slowly and carefully.

"… Who the hell are you?”[/b] The boy asked, now turning his attention to the bloody hand outstretched to him. The Angel glanced away for a moment, looking back at Aries lying in the dust, before turning his bright blue gaze back to the small demon.

"Vincent. Vincent Jackson Onyx. Ex-Lao Captain. I left Lao to join Zukai, wandered into your army’s territory and got myself cleaved in half. Then I…just woke up like this." He responded, shrugging weakly and fanning his wings out behind him as he let his hand fall. "Wandered neutral territory for a couple of weeks and then heard this all going on. I thought I should help out." Vince added softly, leaning down to pick up Aiden again as he dragged him towards the alcove, careful to move around the far side of the young demon for fear of setting him off. "I’m not going to hurt you, though, promise." The new angel promised, flashing Lutec a crooked smile as he moved around him, jumping every so often at the sounds of battle no far off. He hoped to god the kid believed him and all, otherwise he could find himself fighting a fight he really didn’t want to, especially not against such a young demon. So instead he hoped and prayed as he continued to move, not looking the other in the eye. [/blockquote][/center][/size]

[Kibi]

Claw growled loudly as her fist was caught in the tin man's grip and they flew through the air, before he finally slowed to a stop. She was about to use this as an opportunity to grab his wrist with her free hand and pulled him into an awaiting kick to the face, but something on his strange metal suit made a foreign noise that rang in her ears. So instead of going through with her attack, she gritted her teeth, and curled up with a snarl of anger.

Then she was flying. Opening her eyes as the sound faded, she realized she was thrown, and the metal-man was chilling there, upside down in the air. "That son of a butt-fucked whore!" she breathed, furious to be thrown away by some Lao boy. Momo went into action, pumping furiously in his winged form and sending her back to the enemy's side in moments.

Her claws were back in action, extending for a slash into the side of Axis as she flew by, before turning to stab through his stomach with the other hand. "Don't think you can continue avoiding me, ya Lao bastard." she bit, just barely audible enough.

-

<sub>notes;; Short and terrible. My mind's been drawing a blank on her lately. I need to do more with her, idk. And don't worry, you're fine.

She's just gonna continue ignoring all outside of the fight and try ripping Axis' arms off nao.</sub>

[Axis]

The female demon rushed at him, she seemed angry now, and Axis righted himself just in time to roll sideways, holding up his his right arm in defense as her long claws scratched into his armour. There was a slight tearing of metal as her weapons broke through two layers of armour on his gauntlet, revealing a lighter blue metal just underneath, as small particles in the armour quickly began to grow back out and link together. Axis glanced at it with a brief mixture of puzzlement and amazement ... Impressive... He thought. He tried not to imagine the consequences of her weapons connecting with him.

What have you gotten yourself into...? He thought, and a small pinging rang out as his HUD showed the damage to the affected area. Axis flicked a jaw switch to remove the display and quickly drew the OmniBlade, turning to face his attacker. He almost gasped as she struck, and threw the blade to his right, parrying her strike up and away. "Don't think you can continue avoiding me, ya Lao bastard." she said under her breath. He passed his right hand underneath his arm to channel a wave of kinetic energy through his gloved hand at her exposed stomach, pushing her backwards, but just barely. The tear in his armour allowed little power to get though, and he followed up instead with a spin, sending more powerful energy out through his sword at her to throw her off balance. Well... so much for polite...
Axis cleared his throat, pointing the tip of the OmniBlade at her and tilting his head to one side.

"... My parents were married."

He stopped for a moment, lowering his weapon slightly, "... Even if they didn't talk much." He said to himself, and lowered it again "Or barely at all or..." He shook his head and held up the OmniBlade again, closing his mouth.

What is wrong with you? how hard did you land...

Notes: Thank you Kibi, Your reply has made me happy. T_T
Sorry my reply's so short...

[Kitteh.]

"No, no. Everything's perfect."
Mia smiled innocently, in a way it was mocking her, but soon he found his face planted on the rock. He cursed out loud and got on his knees on the piece of debrees, rubbing his face. How humiliating.

He rubbed at his cheek, eyeing the girl, questioning. If she had the chance to take him out, why didn't she? His gaurd was down, right? He could've easily been taken out by the knife she still held. Mia made it back to his feet, dusting his now dirty jacket off, then bent over and picked the knife up by the end. He straightened his posture and tossed the blade up, catching it by the handle in mid air.

Mia shrugged nonchalantly, smiling seemingly cheerfully to himself. " Okay, fine, I admit, I deserved that one~"

His smile slipped away to a more serious expression.

"You had the chance to wound me, but you didn't." His eyes narrowed, to the African-American, the pale turquise shifting into a darker sea green.
Mia shifted his posture and held the knife infront of him, ready to attack of defend.

OCC://I wonder where "be" came from... -shot-

[Rah]

Roxy continued glaring at the boy as he got up. She raised a brow when she saw her knife in his hands. She looked to see she only had one of the two knives she took out. How did.... oh right. Another reason to hate his tripping. Well, she had a few more so that didn't really matter.

[teal]"Okay, fine, I admit, I deserved that one~"[/teal]

[red]"Damn straight you did."[/red] She took a more defensive posture when his expression became serious.

[teal]"You had the chance to wound me, but you didn't"[/teal]
Whoa, did his eyes just change color? Looks like it's time to really get serious. And she could've wounded him, but it just didn't cross her mind. Another strike for all the mistakes made by her today.

Roxy lunged at Mia at full speed, aiming for his torso. However, if he tries to strike her she'd still be able to parry the attack.

[Kitteh.]

Mia's eyes narrowed, watching the young shapeshifter's movements while he switched the blade in his hand to the left, gripping it tightly and preparing for the pressure to come.

He struck out to her blade, only after the thought of ducking and slashing at her legs and feet. The two similar blades clashed, sending a few tiny sparks into the air. He didn't really want to hold back as much right now, finnaly knowing for sure of what Roxy is capable of, but also making room that she can also have other hidden tricks up her sleve. His left arm tensed, his eyes narrowing as he stood his place and pushed back, using his strength to keep her busy. His right hand though, fisted and drew that hidden wrist blade, aiming to stab at her leg instead of slash at it.
He took a moment to guess her next move, ready to lunge if she jumped backward, making sure he will keep her under the pressure of being pursued by someone stronger than she.

Really, with Mia's age _{(a good estimated 300 years, no, really, I've been developing him for 3 years and he use to be 700!)} , you easily get to know what you're capable of and what your not, and due to his specie's flexibility, he's still capable of more. It'd be no problem copying Roxy's apperance almost perfectly to try to throw her off gaurd, and then if it succeeds it would be an easy kill for Mia.
His sister is a top rate assasin, his father deals with criminals and the sort through his "buisness", so sure he knows the deal with death. That doesn't mean he likes it at all.

Was she fast enough to keep up with him?

^{OCC:// Sooo, sorry if Mia seems abit overpowered to you, but he has the time and training to know how to fight effectively, plus... he's a good 260 years older than her. <; -didn't really feel like mentioning his actual age, which is... I think 298 now-}
