The rain.... I like the rain.

Larien went absolutely insane and the sounds of fighting drew his attention. The wild creature charged at Mai and Miu. In a blind rage slashing cutting and attacking at anything it could grab ahold of. All the while a shrill and painful beast like howl rang from the creatures throat, although it still sounded like the yell of a human in pain. Larien was fighting with all his might. His consciousness slipping between beast mentality and his own mind. He couldn't even think or focus, only try to fight the movement of his arm and feral senses.

Hearing the cry, Mai stopped before her attack, pushing Miu and running towards the side. "We can fight later, Miu-chan."
AUGH I JUST HAD TO THINK THAT DIDNT I?!
turning back to look she saw that he was still dashing forwards, attacking wildly
Not the best situation on earth...its not like i can just attack him...Miu-chan, im not one for letting my enemies just be killed by wildly attacking beasts, but, oh just be careful!
Mai started to sigh as she ran towards Xander, grabbing his arm and pointing to the still charging Larien.
"PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN FIX THAT."
She thought she sounded stupid, and probably did, but it was worth a shot, as it seemed that the blond was busy with the Raven.

Rai winced in pain as blood came trickling down from his hip.
"I'm not going down that easily!"
His eyes turned red and brown.
"Genjutsu: Fiery Squeeze of Death!"
A large vine wrapped around the soldier until the soldier became completely paralyzed. The vine suddenly flared up and incinerated the soldier. He used some of his chakra to heal the wound on his hip. Then, he meditated to restore his chakra.

(OCC: Kisuke you could have just used the medical stuff I was giving you ya know.)


What in the-!?!
Xander grabbed Mai's arm that was currently grabbing his with his free hand and jumping/running to the side perpendicular to the direction of Larien's attack.
Uh oh Ningyoo has been hurt, oh well its not that bad fire doesn't really work on metal.
"Ningyoo!" and after Xander yelled this the golem ran in the same direction as Xander and was running next to them with its hand out "Hold on tight Mai." as he said this he looked into Mai's eyes, but then swiftly looked away and then Xander jumped up not that high since it was him and Mai as well it was kind of hard and the golem slipped its hand under neath them and lifted them to his shoulder, they jumped off onto his shoulder Xander grabbed hold of the golem's head and closed his eyes to concentrate because he was doing it with only one hand and the gashes in the side of the golem repaired themselves with a small glow.
With the golem still running except now in the direction of Raven and Arrai "Now Mai what should we do that's still Larien isn't it and I shouldn't hurt him right?"


(OCC: I realized a little while ago that me with the golem and the glow when ever I change something is like FMA, haha woops not on purpose.)

Kisuke hears a loud roar of rage and agony and sees Larien attacking everything in his path. He sees Main and Xander running away from him and thinks, "Time to stop this..." He then dashes towards Larien and then he transforms into a dragon and flies behind Larien. Kisuke then locks his arms to restrain Larien.

"Well i was going to ask the blond but he seems a bit busy." mai hung onto Xander's arm as she watched everything that was going on, refusing to fire as she would hit something below her, friend or foe, ontop of this thing wasnt a good place to even think of aiming.
"Xander, why are you heading that way?!" finally realizing that she was heading in the direction of the Raven and said Blond fellow, before turning back to see the large dragon that was once Kisuke. "Okay, Xander, sir, whatever, if we live through this, remind me to go somewhere far away or something, better yet, just keep going where your going Dear...!"


(Cha-ching! 8th page baby!)

Ravens pupils completly narrowed as the venom filled words fell from Arrai's lips.
"What would you mamma say..." It was all Raven needed or desired to hear. All notions of sane thinkig abandoned his mind. He shoved the broadsword aside leaping away with a spin. At the zenith of the spin a flash ilumminated his chest as the blades appeared, and with a powerful swing flung the white blade at Arrai, flames dancing along it edges. As he landed he tossed the other blade in quick succsession. A second whirling blurr of flame.

(Damnit FinalMai you beat me by one post XP)

Arrai wasn't able to dodge the blades as they pierced deep, one into his arm and the other in his leg. The blades went all the way through the limbs and stuck out the other side as the flames surrounding the swords licked and ate at his skin. He was too distracted. Larien was running rampant behind him and he wasn't focusing. He dropped his larger sword and ripped a blade out of his arm tossing it away from the battle. He then released a small smirk as he tore the other blade from his leg. Quickly he lunged forward and attacked with Raven's own sword. The flames still blazing.

Raven didn't flinch as his own blade embeded itself into his shoulder, flames tickling his skin. Glaring at Arrai he grabed the blade and pulled as it tore deeper into his shoulder, pulling Arrai closer. He brought his hand down from the blade imbeded in his arm a small shimmer of light illuminating the two men, as the discarded blade reappered.
"Even an eternity in hell would be to light of a punishment for the likes of you." He stared with a twisted combination of hatred, rage, contempt, and an overwehlming depression. And a pain much deeper than even the wound in his shoulder. The first real response to pain he had shown the entire match. Tears began to stream from his eyes leaving to trails of clean skin on Raven's dirt and blood covered face. And with his free arm, the blade surging with flames, he swung at Arrai.

NOTE: Nice avatar man...!

"All I did was call you a pixie. No reason to cry about it." Arrai made a small smile as the blade cut into his arm again. What was this creature made of? Arrai had a sudden urge to strap Raven to a table and see how far he could cut into him before her reacted or died. He wondered if he cut off a limb, would Raven continue to walk around none phased ("I cut your arm off!" "No you didn't!" "What's that then?!" Yes I just made a Monty python reference! ) or would the arm grow back? The curiosity was killing him. He had to know. With a sort of crazed smile he grabbed a hold of the blade in his arm and moved close to Raven (almost typed Frosty, LOL), for a split second they could feel each others breath on face's. "Once again. I feel like you're not really talking to me. And that's hurting my feelings." Arrai said before he struck with his palm in an upward movement to Raven's jaw. Hopefully the sucker wasn't to heavy that he didn't get any air with the hard blow.

Raven staggered backward, aboandoning the sword in Arrai's arm. The strike seemed to scramble his thoughts for a moment, and the wave of tumoultuous emotions wavered for a moment. Raven suddenly became aware of what was happening as a wave of numbness paralyzed his arm. He became aware that the Keon he had been fighting was not Keon, and he became aware of the fact that his legs were giving out under his wieght. He landed on his knees breaths quick and hagard. The cumulative damage his body had endured seemed to crash into him in a wave of numbness. It was all he could do to not vomit. His energy was spent, and he was well past his limit. The flames on the Gaurdian blades flickered then died, before the swords dispersed into a cloud of particles. Ravens arm went limp as the blade dissapeared from his shoulder. And fighting back sickness and exhaustion, he used the remander of his strength to stand in an unsteady stance. He stared at Arrai, his eyes had returned to normal. He knew he was defenseless against the man, yet with no energy left to fight or run he knew hope was slim. He stood staring at him, waiting.

(OOC-I hope this isnt lame but I think realisticaly Raven is at his limit. -____-)

@Supatuna-kumoriryuX had Larien pinned down in dragon form-So-
"Larien breaks free of of Kisuke"s grip before...."

NOTE: W00t! 8 pages! Alright! *cough, cough* sorry bout that. On to the post!

Larien had lost all control at this point but could still maintain a sense of what was happening, the only difference was he couldn't control what he was doing. That is often the strangest feeling. To be inside one's own body, but not be able to control yourself from within. He had charged at the bounty hunter girl, but she had been swept up by a giant golem of some sorts. The beast within him ran blindly at the thing, even though Larien himself knew that he couldn't take down such a massive object. In a mad sprint Larien dug his claw into the golem, and using the momentum began to climb up it's leg. Soon he would reach the two up high. All he knew was that every fiber of his being wanted to kill them. Wanted to rip them limb from limb. He had finally made it to the top. In a blind rage he lunged at Xander, the more likely threat of the two and he slashed outward with his claw, aiming for the throat.

Arrai watched the mighty titan fall to his knees. The sword gash on his arm was still bleeding and he had to hold it downward to stop the cut from opening further. He could feel that Raven was probably pushing himself, if not had pushed himself farther than the titan could handle. Arrai saw in Raven's eyes a new awareness. As though Raven had awoken from a trance state of mind. He could see Arrai. "Are you broken, now?" Arrai asked in a curious voice. The eye usually covered by the eyepatch changed color as it focused on Raven. He could see that there was still a spiritual pressure coming off of the angry foe.

However he was momentarily distracted by a loud sound. A commotion in the foregrounds caught his attention. He heard the beastly yell of Larien and turned on his heel in a quick moment exposing his back to Raven. Quickly his eyes scanned the forest for his companion. He found Larien up above the trees on Xander's golem. He watched as the wild Larien lunged towards the pacifist.

Miu was about to brace herself for Mai's uppercut when Mai suddenly ducked, pushed her and ran. She almost started to gloat saying that she was a cry baby, when she saw why she ran. Her mouth dropped and she started to dash away as well. "What on earth is that?!" She chased after Mai till she was helped by the golem and dashed the other way. She turned and saw the beast climbing the golem and slowed down. Ha now Mai is so getting it... She watched the beast then looked up at Mai. "Shoot, you beast! you better not kill the girly before I can!" She dashed toward the beast preoaring her sword to attack. Why am I doing this for that stupied girly! She's my fricken enemy! She continued to beat herself up as she jumped up to attack the climbing beast.

Arai saw the other winged girl go swooping in to catch Larien. "NO! Don't hurt him." Arrai quickly pulled out his pistol (I didn't mention where they went....) and aimed at his target.No one was allowed to hurt Lalrien. Let alone kill him. That was his job, and his alone.

NOTE: GOD, my writing has been so sucky these past few posts, I hope everyone who is rping with me can forgive me.

Kisuke froze momentarily as Larien broke from his grip and saw him bring down the golem and aiming fro Xander. He then let our a tremdous roar that seemed to shake the air around him, and he flew towards Larien. But this time he flew next to him and grabbed his arm to prevent him from progressing towards Xander.

Miu halted her attack when she heard Arrai. She instead landed on the golem and shouted, "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill him!"

Raven's eyes widened as he saw Arrai turn and aim at Miu, blatantly ignoring him as he opened his back. 'Now...This is my one chance...' It was sneaky and underhanded but it was the only thing Raven had left. Raven dug deep. Deep down into his core passed the walls of his physical limit and drew upon the sliver of strength he had left. Drawing up every available ounce of the energy, Raven summoned the purple Gaurdian blade. The blue flames flickering weakly on its edge. Then, half running and half stumbling, Raven approached the unsuspecting Arrai, and with the last of his strength plunged the sword length-wise through his chest. Only to have the blade vanish seconds after in another cloud of particles, Raven stumbling backwards into a tree, and grabbing onto the bark in an effort to stay upright and conscious.

Hearing all cries that had gone out, Mai turned towards the rushing Larien, lunging at Xander, Miu's strike stopped by another shout.
"Dammit move!"
Mai dashed forward, and with a kick, pushed Xander out of the way and pointed her handgun at Larien, held once more by Kisuke.
"Lala." she firmly said, calling him that for lack of a better name, as she took out her minethrower to her other hand "Snap out of it."
You cant control this can you?
Moving her Minethower in a breaking motion, she spoke to Kisuke, quietly aiming and firing a shot towards Larien's arm.
"Let go of him Rainboy, if hes going to kill someone it might as well be me."


(ooc: sorry for not being on, bit of a problem. try to keep this going as best you can without me, i give you Larien (or admins) to control Mai a bit if he has to.)

Kisuke stared at Mai through his rage-filled blood-red eyes and he growled out, "How about you let me do what I'm doing so no one has to die?" Kisuke then raised his wings and snapped them town creating a gush of icy air that pushed everyone around him back. He then roared again and a wall of ice raised around him separating him and Larien from everyone else.

what the-
Flung back, Mai grabbed onto a part of the Nigyoo to stop her fall, only to hang near the edge.
"So what!? are you going to kill him instead or something?!" she shouted as she stared angrily at the newly formed ice block
isnt just keeping him back worse?! well..its not like i know but-
She jumped back up, firing 3 mine darts at the block of ice, hoping the exploasion would crack it even slightly, let alone shatter it.
"Your getting in my way....!"
I wont kill him...ill just have to beat him until he's close to death...i know, i just know that holding him back wont stop him!

(ooc: AHAHAHA PAGE 9!!!!)

(notes: eh...Mai feels a bit bad, i suppose. Lala reminds her of the Zombies back home .__. all man made or cursed, along those lines. *bangs head* i think too much from RE and SH and DR and anything else out there when it comes to Mai...)

"Hm... Where are you Theo... considering that I landed in the same place that you did."

A glowing light guided a young priest through the woods. Rain poured down, he himself soaking wet. His staff guiding his way to find a certain person that he was looking for.
"Erg... walking takes so much longer, but I can't fly in weather like this."

Joshua kept walking, although finding it very difficult with his drenched clothes hindering him.

So, a light just like the one that engulfed Theo did the same thing to me as well. Now I'm out wandering hopelessly in a dense forest with only my staff to guide me to Theo's mana signature, since his is so different than the one familiar to this world. But-

His thoughts were interrupted by a large roaring that he heard nearby.
"Hm... sounds like something's going on..."
A huge tree came flying in his direction. Joshua held out his hand and used his mana to hold the tree from falling on him. "Boy this is heavy," he said, struggling. He quickly tossed it aside, finding relief from the stress. Looking in the direction from where the tree had come flying from, he saw a giant golem, with strange looking folks all over it, obviously in some sort of brawl.

"Should I? But then again, I really shouldn't... but there might be people getting hurt up there... UGH, I hate decisions like these."

(OOC: If you REALLY want me to stay, then someone should do something to attract Joshua's attention, otherwise hed probably leave >_>;; )

Stumbling backwards from Mia's kick Xander seemed to be one of the only people to notice Arrai getting stabbed in the chest by the nearly dead Raven and he also noticed that there were a great deal of people on Ningyoo so Xander decided to do something a bit risky but would probably make Larien, Kisuke, Mia, and Miu stop arguing for once and Xander might be able to get to Arrai before he bled to death.

He put both hands on Ningyoo and shrunk him back down into doll form with a small glowing light, most likely causing most of the people on him to fall off. "Sorry!" As soon as Xander was done shrinking Ningyoo he picked him up and rushed over to Arrai ready to help him not die by pulling out various medical items and trying to stabilize him so that he did not fall over.

"I said let him-aaaaaaah!" Mai, now suddenly dropped through the air, landed on her back, her left shoulder now struck with pain.
Kuso...why the hell did he have to do that?!
Looking up, Mai was suddenly staring at a black haired man, wearing glasses.
"Hello."
Sitting up, she grabbed both guns, looking now to see where everyone else had landed, mostly Xander, who she now wanted wuite badly to kick in the face.
"where...where the hell did Lala go?!- tch!" she had used her left arm to help push herself up, only to nearly fall backwards once more. "dammit."
She looked towards the new man before starting to run off once more "Busy, sorry."

Miu, who after being told to many times what to do, decided to just sit on the golem and wait the event out. She was peacefully watching the fight when suddenly she came crashing down and would have been badly hurt if she hadn't used what she had left of her wings to glide at least particle way down. "Oww! What on earth happened to the gaint! He was just here and then he goes and vanishes!" She started shouting at the people who also where on the golem thinking it was their fault that she now had a soar butt. She stood up immediately just incase the beast found a new target in her. She called here sword to herself, for when she fell she also dropped her sword causing it to fall away from her. She stood there waiting for the next event to role in, and hoping it was a good one.
