Blade Racer

ok, bunny, ive given the battle between Sword and the robot gaurds an undertermined timeline, so just give me a nudge when you and Big game are ready for Sword to burst in on you k.

im sorry i got angry Tech, honestly i didnt mean for you to get left out like that. if it seemed like i was Godmoding i didnt mean it to. and im sure your description of the missles didnt mean to seem godmoding either.

Bunny, im sorry the defences seem to go down easily but i never put a time frame on the fight, will put one on now

ok, fine. So what ya want Tech? want me to delete my comment and just have you blos him to pieces with your oh so awesome destroy all weaponry? and yes thank you i DID ask bunny. I asked her about every part of my post and she was fine with it. Who do you think you are accusing me of just going off and doing things without asking like that huh?

im sorry if people think im going overboard here, but im quite angry about this

sorry tech, not sure how you would have seen him since he was cloaked until attacking the door. can still follow him in though man.

Inside his helmet, Sword smirked and moved as quick as lightning, slicing the door apart in a few strokes, sending the fragments flying, impaling the robot worker behind the door and making it explode. Walking through the door way, alarms started going off to alert people inside to Swords presence.

As laser fire and gun fire ring out towards the door, Sword is already away, paut the guns and in combat with Kimi's robotic drones, cutting them apart as if not getting hit, though the ripples in his shileds and the occasional ping off his armour show the accuracy of the robots. Sword could feel the magic barriers in the place making him feel sick, but he focused on pushing through.
All Sword could see was robots and turrets ahead of him, and the realisation downed that this fight would ake some time. Sword began teleporting around the corridor as the machines fired at him. Slicing and dashing around, Sword had to use all his skill to avoid being blown apart.

A few minutes after defeating the last of the robots, Sword arrived at the door to where Kimi and Big game where waiting, his sensors detecting two life signs in the room ahead, and another two off in the distance. The destoyed robots and turrets littered the corridor behind him. Bracing himself for whatever he might find on the other side of the door, Sword spun his swords, and cut through the door cleanly, entering with this swords spinning around his hands.

Sword dropped onto the street by Kimi's hideout. his stealth field activated he walked up to the building and looked around at the nearby hiding places and rooftops as if scanning for defences. he stopped and pulled out a phone, typing Hailey, im sorry about breaking up with you. I want us to work this out together. We know how to undo what Kimi did to you, and im going to come and find you. I dont care about anything else i just want to talk.
Having sent the message, Sword pulled his swords out and knocked on the door to the hideout.

The arachnos grunt collapsed, bleeding from a large cut in his chest. The wreckage of two arachnos drones lay scattered around the computer. Sword detached two cables from his left arm and connected them to the computer. On the HUD in his helmet, Sword accessed the arachnos computer network.

Sword smiled. Seemed Kimi was very similar to the one he had known in his own world. Same hang outs, friends. This made it easy to determine her current location. There's only one place Sword knew that Kimi would go when threatened like this. Detaching the cables, Sword activated the self destruct of the arachnos base, recloaking he quickly made his way out of the base, as metal, fire and plasma exploded around him. Sword smiled, heading for Kimi's hideout.

Sword groaned and looked down at the tendrils around his legs. After they had recided Sword teleported away from the scene. He would have to track the girls down quickly before Kimi did anything crazy. He was still shaken from discovering Kimi's breach of his trust and he was angry. Not knowing where to follow them to, he decided it best to try his normal contact, the Arachnos Computer network.

In a movement quicker than the eye could see, Sword spun, cutting Big Game's rifle in two. His rage at Kimi unhindered, Sword sent a silent message to he court, signalling the location of Big Game. He would have let the two men run, but after trying to help his new found foe, he could no longer allow it

"Mr Game, if you want to escape now is your one and only chance. In a few moments the court will decend on this place, a pity because this has nothing to do with you. Kimiko here is a psychopath, a liar and deciever. She will betray anyone who believes her to be a friend. It is clear to me that she is unable to be trusted by anyone, and you would be better to leave here"

Sword went back to spinning his blades around his hands, walking slowly towards Kimi before standing right infront of her. "I will forgive you though, if you fix what you have done....now".

Looking at Hailey, Sword spoke calmly. "its not just your fight Hailey. This woman has caused us both pain, so dont go thinking I have no right in this fight because I do. If you want to hit me then please, save it for when I'm done here."

Sword laughed at Big Game's words.

"phasic weaponry eh? impressive Mr Game, very impressive. But this armour was designed to stop any and all ammunition, including phasic rounds. Besdes it doesnt matter, as soon as you fire i send out a signal telling the court that your here, you wont get away if i do that. But im not here for your head, your just a bonus, i will however allow you to get away for a little information. so the question is, how much pain do i need to inflict before you talk?"

Sword grinned to himself beneath his helmet. If this fool knows Blade then maybe i can give him reason to doubt the Nighthunters, this day just gets better and better. wait...what did Kimi say?

Sword turned his gaze to Kimi, then lowered his swords. "forget what i said Mr Game, you are you boy get out of here, this place is about to get messy pretty soon"
Moving towards Kimi, Sword began to slowly spin his blades in both hands. "you did suggest an upgrade, and an upgrade i got. The court have some brilliant scientists you know, and one of them upgraded my suit. Now Kimi, are you gonna put Hailey back the way she was or am i gonna have to MAKE YOU!?" Sword shouted the last part to add emphasis.

Sword smiled as the robot detected his presence. Looks like im going to have to upgrade my steath, oh well. Deativating his cloak, Sword looked at each of them in turn.

"Well well well, i come to get an upgrade and what do i find? An old girlfriend siding with th enemy, and a friend holding hostages. I must say its quite the productive evening for me. Oh and sorry Hailey my dear if this hurts your head, but this is buisness, not personal and has to be done, so no one is leaving here, am i understood?"

Sword held his blades to either side of him, blocking the door way. With his shield's activated the red laser pointers that Kimi's robot gaurds were pointing at him reflected or refracted away from Sword's armoured body.

Sword Runner watched as Big Game kicked in Kimi's door. He had been surprised that Hailey was with this stranger, and even more surprised tat they would come here. Dropping down behind Hailey and Big Game as they entered, Sword moved up to the door. Standing in the door way with his cloaking field activated so as not to be seen. Seeing Shop and Big Game up close Sword finally recognised that these were people who may have information he required. Smiling under his helmet he drew his swords and readied himself to block any escape by the pair.

"Nighthunters! lets move". As Ionic said it he was running, moving through the end of the corridor into the room at the end. Himself, Pyros and Gram moved quickly, they're aim: a precious looking gem pedastal with a large book on it. "so this is what the Pious wanted?" asked Pyros, her voice calm and controlled after the fight.
"indeed it is, one of the Circle's legendary books of power, and the soul gems in the pedastal ofcourse." replied Ionic. He signalled to Gram who put the body bag down and began to pull out the soul gems. Ionic took the book from the pedastal as Pyros unzipped the body bag to reveal what looked like a hero in Nighthunter armour. "Send her in, the memory is planted" Ionic signalled over a comm piece in his ear.

Eras moved silently down the corridor towards her commander. Her slender body was covered by Nighthunter armour copied to be identical to the ones worn by the real Nighthunters. She reached the fallen man and put her hands on his face, stroking him gently she soothed his mind, her mental powers were considerable and she soon began to rework his memory of the battle, making Ionic and his team appear in nighthunter outfits. As Ionic walked out with the book, followed by Gram with the body bag full of soul gems, they heard a woshing sound as Pyros fired a crossbow bolt into the dead hero's back before following them.

Back outside, the final two members of Ionic's team Paladin and Tempest were waiting. Paladin was treating Glacies wounds and looked up as Ionic, Gram, Pyros and Eras walked outside. "is it done?" asked Paladin "will they think the Nighthunters have the book?".
"yes Paladin they will" replied Eras "they will see the Nighthunters attacking and i will make sure the magic tracers lead back to their base of operations, so helpful of Pious to freely give away such information" continued Titan, touching a soul gem taken from a previous assult on the Circle of Thorns.

As the Helicopter took off, Ionic smiled. With any luck the Circle of Thorns would attack the Nighthunters very soon, and then everything would start to fall into place. As Titan headed toward Steel Canyon, Ionic couldnt help but wonder how wise it was for the company to send a very thuggish looking brute into the heart of the City of Heroes.

Lucard smiled as HellsKiller disappeared, lowering his emptied guns, Lucard looked at Leon and sighed. "see the rabble you hae allied yourself with Leon? the ones who would kill all our kind no matter what our aims or allegiences. Will you no see your way clear to at least staying out of this war? look around you, your kinsman lay dead around you and this place once considered safe is a butcher hole. Lay down your swords and i will lay down my guns. Let us talk about this. Or would you rather we continue this pointless duel?". Lucard extended a hand, his pistol turned back with the barrel pointed to the floor, in a friendly gesture towards a ceasefire between the two vampires.

Deep under Paragon City, Oranbega

Ionic burst through the old wooden door, sending splinters flying away infront of him, and was answered by a hail of crossbow bolts. The bolts scratched his metal skin, but did no significant damage. Releasing a ball of elecricity, Ionic stunned and burned many of the Cicle of Thorns gaurding the passage before him. Crouching down, a burst of flame shot over his head, making him glow in the heat, as Pyros stepped in behind him. Her fire resistant body suit keeping her firery body from scorching her team mates behind her.

With the Circle members infront of them dead, Ionic and Pyros stepped forward to allow their team mates Gram, Titan, and Glacies.
Glacies was covered from head to toe in ice. Titan was the biggest of the five, 7ft tall and wearing a tank top, trousers and chains wrapped around his chest. Gram wore a classic suit and tie, though why he did this was still a mystery to Ionic. Gram was carrying a body bag over his shoulder.

Moving forward quickly, they five of them soon encountered new resistance. Ionic smiled as a hail of crossbow bolts were burned to ash by Pyros' flame. The Circle members drew thorn swords and moved into a defencive position, as mages took up position behind them, sending magic towards them. Ionic dodged to one side as a large boulder hurtled into the wall behind him. Pyros and Glacies were side by side, fire and ice flying at the mages. Gram stayed back, keeping out of harms way, his precious cargo too valueble to be risked in a fire fight so close to their target. Titan however charged forward, smashing through the defencive wall of thorn casters, smashing the faces of many mages in with his massive fists. Ionic followed his friend and leapt over a thorn caster, kicking him in the face to spin over, releasing a number of electrified blows down on the mages below him.

With the Circle members dead, Ionic thought this battle was over, but then a large and fiery demon came up behind them and grabbed Glacies, melting her icy covering. Ionic yelled "Pyros! distract it! Titan! get Glacies out of that monsters grip!". With that, the team set to work, Pyros flung fire at the beast's head and it lookedaway, dropping a burnt Glacies to the ground where she lay still. Titan balled his fists and punched the creature with a two handed blow to the gut, making it double up. the creature lay its hand on Titan's shoulders, but his skin did not burn of blister from the heat. Ionic ran up Titan's back and placed his hands on the demon's head in a vice like grip, sending massive volts of electricity through it's skull. The creature fell down dead, and Ionic turned, still onthe demons chest, his feet starting to glow. Seeing one of the circle members still alive, he said "get Glacies out of her Titan, we can handle the rest. Nighthunters, lets move!"

Lucard smirks, spinning and placing the barrel of both his guns to Hellskiller's head. "yes...lets dance!". Lucard laughed as he pulls the triggers of his pistols, aimed so that the bullets would pass Jack should Hellskiller teleport away in the nick of time again.

Silvas returned the nod to Em as she left and returned his attention to the vampires. As the man identified as Hellskiller had the chair rammed into him and the vampire Leon slambed a table into the chair, Silvas smirked. Lucard was taking these two for a ride and it seemed as though they couldnt tell. This was turning out to be a very interesting day.

++++

Lucard pouted at Leon playfully, "oh i had almost forgotten, but did you have to make such a mess with the werewolf?". Moving quickly Lucard reloads his guns and begins to fire, becoming corporial again so the bullets would do some damage. Lucard's gaze was now fixed upon Leon, a fear inducing stare which made the few remaining people behind Leon cower and run in fear.

The table moved through and hit the chair he had just shoved towards Hellskiller, standing up through the table and moving to the side, floating away from the pair of hunters. "you will have to do better than that Leon, i mean you arent dealing with a lesser vampire tonight".

Lucard smirked and looked back at Hellskiller. "for a two-bit hunter your not bad kid" he said as he kicked his feet forward, sending his chair backwards "but i'm far, far better". Unloading the last of his bullets at Leon, Lucard began to laugh.

Lucard smiled back at Leon. "well if the fool wants to come in here bragging about a lowly 400 kills, he should at least be expecting to get shot, shouldnt he? and besides, this isnt sport, its a mercy, ending the life of this low grade hunter would be a good thing for all concerned, saving him the embarrasment of getting pummelled after that little speech of his"
Grinning widely, Lucard unloaded half the clips of his guns, aiming at Leon and the hunter.

Lucard fired a single shot at the newcomer as he spoke to the werewolf. The silver lined iron bullet covered in both holy and unholy runes hurtled towards the hunter.
A single thought in his mind, Welcome to the big leagues
As he pulled the trigger, Lucard readied his second pistol under the table, grinning as his fangs visibly lengthen, putting his hat on his head and leaning back to take better aim.

Silvas smiled to himself at the newcomers outburst, now wondering who would react to this so called number thirty-two. Taking his bottle he got up and went to sit near to Emerald, giving her a smile as he joined her to watch the oncoming show. He'd take no part in it ofcourse, if your stupid enough to come into a demon bar yelling about how many monsters youve killed, then your asking for a fight. Let this fool be ripped limb from limb by the best of the best.

++++

Lucard didnt even turn to look at the newcomer, keeping his gaze fixed on his drink an his eyes on Leon, his face becoming grim as he steady one of his pistols on the table, aiming for the arrogant hunter's head, his finger on the trigger.

In the dungeons of the castle, Blood Balfear let out a howl of rage and pain. Sitting up in his nest of death, Blood grew steadily hungry, easily sencing something was wrong in his home. The tatoos of blood covering his skin began to glow a bright red, lighting up the darkness surrounding him.

sorry bunny, i would have joined you but my internet went offline completely

Silvas smiled to himself, hearing Big Game's words, not the least bit insulted at the description he was giving the patrons of the bar, wondering if the highly acute ears of the werewolves and vampires in the bar could hear him also. Laying a bet with himself to see how long it would take before the fool was clawed to death.
