So, just 3 of us duking it out like always? *Scars, asked as Sapphire and Fafnir are standing opposed together in a circle with the other 3 behind them.*
Nah, let's make this a two team free for all! *Sapphire, said he materialized Avalon in his hand. One of Fafnirs scales morphs into a two handed great sword and hangs at on his shoulder with a smirk.*
My friend, as usual you have the most brilliant of ideas! Cleo, your with me!
Yeah, yeah, I guessed as much. *She said with sass as she grabs the folded green and red bow that was hanging on her back and unfolds it.*
I know you still haven't finished training, Raurua so you don't have to join in if you don't feel up to-. *But she shushed Sapphire by placing a finger on his lips with a smile.*
Up, up, Not another word , dear. Cause I would join forces with you in a heartbeat! Besides this can be quite the learning experience. *She said as she made her arm gauntlets and leg gauntlets flip on as she gets into her battle stance.*
All that matters is that your ok with it. *Sapphire, said with a smile as he materialized Avalon.*
Right then, let's get to it, Kiddo! *Said Merlin in his head. A handle pops out of the top of the shield and Sapphire Grabs on to it and pull its out slowly, blue burst surging out from every detail of the shield as he does until he pulls out Caliburn itself!*
When ever your all ready!
*As soon Sapphire finished, Ezekiel sent Fafnir flying with a punch to the Jaw so powerful that it made a sonic boom! It also destroyed some part of the forest much to Sapphire dismay.*
Open season, Fucker! *Ezekiel, yells out, laughing joyfully as he leaps after Fafnir.*
Ah, come on, Ezekiel! *Sapphire curses out, Fafnir crashes through several hills with a smirk on his lips as he sees Ezekiel give chase after him!*
Oh, you cheap shooting, lunatic never change! *Fafnir praises him as they clashed, and wrestled while they crash into a mountain!*
Ok, now you two are just doing this on purpose! Dozens of friends of mine live here, have a heart!
You always tell us that. *Scars said as he swings his beam sabers at Sapphire with a dozens of quick slices which Sapphire blocks with his shield.*
You make friends with wild animal's on your free time our what?
W-Well kinda, it's complicated, ok, Scarlet!?
Hmm. *Scarlet, hums to himself as he charges at Sapphire, he attacks him with several dozen quick swings followed afterward by attacking in 4 different sides under a second but Sapphire defense held strong as he blocked a swing from above.*
Im listening!
They're well known for being a nuisance, dangerously even world wide! Like I get it, But they're not, I know them.
*Sapphire told him while they both lay waste to
there surroundings.*
Now who's doing it on propose, Selestine!? *Cleo calls him out as she soars in skies and shots 5 arrows down at Raurua who dodges 4 and caught one with two fingers.*
Oh, shut it, Cleo!
Apologies, but I don't think this fighting style will work well with me Mrs, Cleo!
You sure about that? *Cleo asked with a smirk as the arrows begin to glow orange, blue and purple and suddenly explode by engulfing her in storm of flames, ice and lightning! Raurua was seen leaping out of the attack and lands on her feet. Some parts of cloths surging, frosted and alight at the same time.*
How intriguing! That was no form of paltry
technology but magic wasn't it!?
That's for you to figure out, here's some more!
*Warned Cleo as she pulls her bow string and releases but instead of firing arrows she fires dozens of different elemental blast at Raurua. The brown skin girl, corkscrew flip over a blast of electric, the currents only mere inches away from her making grit her teeth slightly from the shock, but she lands back on her feet, dashes right to left to dodge the other blast as she makes her way to Cleo!*
*Sapphire, grits his teeth as he does his best to keep up with Scarlet. Even the young age of 15 Scarlets Sword play is the finest in all of Fable, in a second he can perform 50's or more slices with his blades! Sapphire, a foot down creating a blast of flames around which made, Scarlet withdraw as he jumps back.*
I understand that Humans would find them unnerving at time, but what I can't understand is the sense of killing them on mass! One of these days, Scarlet I'm gonna change everyone views on them, that's a guarantee!
I know you will! *Scarlet said as he dashes at Sapphire,swung a blade at him which Sapphire blocks with Avalon. Bur this time Scarlet pulls the gun trigger causing the beam to explode with energy sending Sapphire sliding backwards on his feet!*
*Sapphire gets his footing and blocks another explosive swing after another, this time not moving and inch even after 50 swings! As he was about to block another Scarlet disappeared mid swing and sends Sapphire flying with a kick to the back!*
*He then dashed after Sapphire who swings his blade at him as he goes flying, out from the blade comes pillars of blue flames which Scarlet dodged left from right as he chases after him! Scarlet, griping the handle of his blades in reverse strikes at Sapphire with one, who counters with swing of his, Which Scarlet followed with another and another! Sapphire parry's and blocks the blows with his Caliburn and Avalon, then sends back with his shield!*
*His cape expands its wings outward and it fires out dozens of violet petal beams at Scarlet! Scarlet dodges by flipping left to right, sliding on the ground on his back, deflecting every beam as he closes the distance! He then dashes foreword, dodging the dozens of beams of corkscrew flipping through and then winds up a swing with his blades combined with Sapphire responding in kind as he swings Caliburn!
*There weapons clashed sending wave after waves of Blue and Scarlet energy out around them! As the blades grind together, they smile at one another. Parry, after parry there blades dance with one another. 50 swings taking no less then a minute to land on there weapons and yet they still smile at another with earnest sportsmanship and camaraderie.*
*Sapphire was sent crashing through several trees, with the last falling into a river. The tree starts to float down it and he flips back on his and Scarlet lands on there end.*
Nice feint, Scars! Didn't see that one coming!
Touché! You were throwing me off there with those new techniques and constructs!
*They praised each other's sword play as there blades song out jubilant hymns of clashing steel! The same cannot be said with Fafnir and Ezekiel, as the later provokes the other with less then charming profanities as they crashed out of the top of the mountain while throwing punches at each other! Ezekiel chucks his weapon at Fafnir who leaps 5 times backwards left from right as it home in on Zodiac! He Then deflects the wheel shaped chainsaw away which Ezekiel then catches and slams it on top of Fafnir who blocks with a broad sword with a smirk!*
Yeah, keep up that fucking attitude you, Abino Fuck! This time, I'll wipe the smug look off your face, even if it fucking kills me! *Ezekiel yells out as he slams is weapon down at him causing a small eruption that melts the mountain into molten lava!*
Fuck!!! Made me do it again, Fafnir! *Ezekiel curses him as he swings down at him again but was sent flying with a 10 swift yet heavy swings of his Broad sword! Ezekiel, grips on to a piece of rock used it to leap after Fafnir and melts at that instant who rockets after Ezekiel with a flaps of his wings! They crashed into each other with such force that it created a small red and yellow flame tornado!*
Your seriously suppose to be still in training!
*Cleo asked as she rains down elemental blast at Raurua but none of the blast hit there as Raurua dodges them with relative ease!*
Indeed, in comparison to my father I have many years to before even reaching his mastery in combat! As you can quest one of my many training regimens is-! *Raurua paused as she disappeared from Cleo's sight! Cleo swallows nervously as she scans her surroundings.*
Please don't tell me it's turning invisible!
No but Closing the distance against a ranged combatant! *Raurua finished as she appears above Cleo, pinning her wings together with her arms while wrapping her legs around her bow arm! With her wings pinned they dropped down from the sky's!*
My, these wings of yours are quite unruly!
*Raurua said with a smile on her lips as Cleo try's to shake her off by spinning wildly. But Raurua doesn't seem to be phased one bit as she giggles joyfully.*
This isn't funny, Raurua! Let go! Gods, help me just how fucking built are you!?
Well I'm definitely no, Yin but I can safely say that I can grind a diamond or two! Oh, dear-! *She exclaimed as Ezekiel was sent flying toward by a swing of Fafnirs sword, forcing Raurua to let go of her!
Unhand her human! *Demanded Fafnir with rage in his voice as he swings his great sword at Raurua at blinding speeds! Raurua tried her best dodging and redirecting his swings, but she made a mistake to try an parry a swing with a kick, as she her leg gauntlets protected her she was still sent flying towards Sapphire and Scars!*
*Sapphire stomps his side of the log with his foot making tip over to his side, he then jumps over Scars sends him and the log into the water with a bash of his shield! He then catches Raurua in his arms and the two crash through a couple of trees together. Sapphire let's out a pained chuckle as the two get up on there feet.*
It was Fafnir wasn't it?
Y-Yes, hear I thought I was beginning to earn his trust not his ire.
Give it a month or two! *Cleo reassured her as a couple dozen arrows land around the two and explode with elemental energy. But Sapphire shielded them from the explosion as he had Avalon cover them with a barrier.*
More like a couple of winters! *Fafnir not giving them a moment to catch there breath as he suddenly appears in front of them! He swings his swords down at the barrier with such force that it shattered!*
Broke it with out any real effort! Those weakling humans back in the world tournament made you rusty, Selestine! You definitely needed a good bout! *Fafnir, then leaps up to slam his great sword down at Sapphire who blocks with his shield creating a massive crater beneath them!*
Oh, please Fafnir, you just gotten stronger but I'll close the gap between in seconds, Bud! *Sapphire, declared with smirk on his lips as he sends Fafnir flying with a bash of his shield! But the man was right back on him as he jumps off one of the floating boulders from Sapphires blow! The two became a tornado of destruction and mayhem as they trade blows only made even more chaotic as Raurua, Cleo, Scars and Ezekiel joined in.*
Feel it Fafnir!? I'm getting stronger by half a second! Our Exousias make us grow stronger and faster by times 2 with every blow! But I'm an Heir, which means it goes up by times 20 instead! Then there's elements around me feeding me which doubles that! *Sapphire explains as he sends Fafnir away with a blow from Caliburn which Fafnir blocked with his great sword!*
Which is why I made you my rival but need I remind you I'm no average Zodiac! Something inside me is making more powerful as well! Oh, how it burns! How it burns! *He howls out with his hand to his glowing chest as flames spout out of his grinning mouth! Then the surroundings go pitch black as a red orb takes shape as he breathes in deep!*
Ah, crap I egged him on to much. Raurua get behind me! *Sapphire says as he readies his shield.*
Forgive me but I must let it out! Take this, Selestine, "Twilight Flare"!
Fafnir no! *Cleo yelled out to him as she turned bow staff into its primary staff mode, a massive magical sigil formed beneath and out from it a came a giant flaming hand that tried pin Fafnir. But it was second to late Fafnir let out massive red beam form his mouth! The beam turned the hand into red energy and everything that it touched!*
Let's give it everything we got Merlin, "Bastion Avalon!" *Sapphire, Yells out as he calls out Avalons true power. A giant wall made of light formed in front of them, 8 times taller then the Empire State Building and stretches so wide that you can't see the end of it! The beam of red light collided with the wall and exploded. The explosion stretched out as far as the Amazon jungle is wide.*
Thank me later, Cleo! *Scars said as he appear in front of Cleo with Scars holding on to him. He grabs Cleo and as quickly as he appeared they blink out of the expanding explosion*
*There was no smoke during the after math just pure annihilation as nothing was left that wasn't behind the wall except for, Fafnir who pants heavily as he flys in mid air.*
Forgive my, Sapphire. Give my condolences to your friends. *Fafnir, said with a tired smirk as he fells unconscious but Sapphire catches him in his arms. The others behind him, he lets out a sigh as he looks around him and then let's out a small smile for Fafnir.*
Jack ass, I don't think they will take it.
*Sapphire said with a sigh, Back in the present Sapphire is holding Raurua's hand who's resting on medical bed unconscious.*
What ever is the plan, Bro I'm with you all the way. Just name it. *Yin reassured him as he sits besides Sapphire. Sapphire thought to himself for a moment with his hand still on Raurua's*
For now, I wanna help Raurua. Then I wanna pay Aunt Scahatch a visit. I need to get back to fighting shape.
