Frozen River (Open)

[Mr Sinister]

While onward towards the directions the stranger gave Reiko he heard shouts and yelling. It seemed they had found a group of demons starting a fight. Looking down far above them he noticed a dragon cut in two, then one started shouting about having herself face all of them. He found this amusing and continued to watch this little scrimage take place.

He thought to himself that this group was pretty ok in power to take on this dragon, which was a boastful size. Mortamor laughed at the dead corpse, his size much more bigger that that puny thing.

They both decided to fly overhead, maybe they would hear about the overlords castle, who knew. Reiko stood up on Mortamor, his arms folded across his chest as he circled far overhead the demons. Mortamor had far much better hearing so he would rely on him to relay messages. A cold wind blew down below as silence fell, he concentrated hard upon the group.

Jack scratches his head, apparently he was not the only one utterly confused by this strange woman. Some people, when reaching a fork in the road choose the fork, but her contradictory way of speaking was baffling. Not even politicians flip flopped in the same sentence!

"Go away, you're crazy as hell! We don't need this crap! Besides, the dragon needs to be gutted while the meat is still good."

Dragon burgers and steaks are hard to come by. Bumping off a dragon was a tack, and they never volunteer to be butchered for a meal. Therefore every chance had to be savored. Jack walked up to the dragon and inspected the corpse. He prodded the body with his staff, and nodded with approval.

Lucretia frowned. "Oh she'll go away" lucy muttered springing toward Sardia but stopping short to strike the ground causing a cloud of snow to explode blinding both combatants. Lucretia then twisted her arm gaining the momentum enough to spring off the ground and try a roundhouse kick hoping to connect and put the demon slayer out in one blow.

Flonne just looked on honestly shocked that a healer was also a fist fighter. "Aren't those supposed to be hands of healing" she asked absently to no one in particular.

[MajinKirby]

Laharl stopped as the explosion of snow blinded him. Dammit! He glared at Lucretia, but realised that she was closing in on Sardia. Laharl took a few steps back. If one of his vassals could take down Sardia, then there was no reason to get his hands dirty. Heh heh heh.

Sardia closed her eyes for a split second because of the snowfield that so suddenly slapped her in the face, and opened them to a face full of KICK. She blocked with her sword, but all of Lucretia's force was behind that kick, so it slammed the blunt end of her sword into her forehead. She recoiled, and then shook it off, growling at Lucretia. "I have no time to waste with a pion of a fake king! Begone!"

Sardia raised her sword, and all of a sudden it seemed like a moonless nightfall had fallen onto the land. Laharl readied his sword for a possible attack against him. After a few seconds, a slash was seen, cutting the darkness in two right where Lucretia was standing. It seemed as though Sardia had used the NIGHT SEVER attack against Lucretia.

Laharl grimiced, and looked at Jack. "That can wait, you idiot! We're in the middle of a goddamn battle here!! Make yourself useful and sin like crazy!" "Sinning", in this case, was healing.

[humarwhitill]

"BLAZING PIERCE!!" Alexa caught Eclipse on fire again and charged toward Sardia. The Knight's power was obviously very great since she could deal that much damage to the dragon but the knight had used the element of surprise and had not fought head to head with the beast.

Alexa also hoped she would have an advantage since she was used to fighting in the snow and knew how to not lose traction. If she was luck Sardia would slip and fall on her butt giving Alexa a chance for a crippling blow.

[boogieknight]

Jack snapped to attention at Laharl's command, and gripped his staff firmly. A luminous energy channeled through his frame and coursed through the staff. He raised it high and bellowed, "Mega Heal!"

The healing energies washed over Alexa, for she was the most front and center during the battle with the dragon. Jack then scrambled to get on the other side of the dragon as Lucretia battled it out with Sardia, hoping to use the carcass as a buffer between himself and whatever attacks the two may unleash.

"This isn't my idea of a catfight!"

[lantz]

Lucretia coughed up blood. "You know that exactly with I'd expect coming from a stupid flat chested wannabe demon slayer" Lucretia spat as she crossed her arms emphasizing her own large chest.

"You're probably thinking how dare she talk Sh*t about me after I hurt her so badly. Truth is you never hit me, it's just that time of the month" Lucy mocked feeling the heat of her wounds.

"You're far to wishy, washy to even beat me. You tried before demon slayer and my little tag long didn't take too kindly to that. He'd like to tell you a few things but since he and I both know you aren't going to listen we're going to tears your ears off and make you listen" The red eyed cleric stated flatly with grin on her face.

Flonne simply too confused at the new arrivals just sat down on one of the smoother rocks to watch the fight ensue.

[MajinKirby]

Sardia laughed haughtily at Lucretia. "Hmmph. You may stand there as long as you want, fool, but at the end of a fight, your taunts only work if you are still alive." Sardia, being a knight, knew how to keep her cool when being mocked. "Obviously you were too worthless a target for me to finish off if I have even met you before. I always get my prey." As Sardia let those venomous words drip off of her tounge, she cast a murderous gaze at Laharl, who was still ready for an attack.

As soon as she said that, however, she was struck from her blind side by a freshly flaming sword. She tumbled to the ground, and used the snow to put out any burning that was still affecting her. Sardia stood back up in a flash, and grabbed ahold of her sword tighter than ever.

"It's time to end all of you! AT ONCE!!....MAYBE!!"

Sardia jumped high into the air again, and her demon-slaying sword began to glow a greenish color. Laharl let out a growl. Dammit! She was about to use that slash move again! As Sardia let her sword charge, she began to laugh evily. Laharl summoned his cloak back to his side, pulling Lucretia along with it to get her out of the way. The only one who was in the way of the attack was Jack and Alexa. "MOVE, YOU DUMBASSES!!", Laharl screamed.

As soon as he yelled that, Sardia let loose another Dimension Slash straight at the two vassals of Laharl.

[lantz]

the energy from the slash was dissapated quickly as a purple-ish burst of energy collided with it.

"Maybe not" Vyers announced as he appered seemly from nowhere. "How about you try slay a real demon then?" Vyers asked putting on an arrogant air.

Lucretia looked up at the interloper secretly relieved that the mage knight was stopped. //is that what I could become? if only I was stronger// she thought sadly.

Flonne jumped up excited by the dark adonis's entrance. "that was cool" she mumbled.

[humarwhitill]

"That was cool," Alexa mumbled, glad that she did not have to take the force of the attack. Alexa knew that even if she had managed to dodge the majority of the attack she would have been very injured for quite a while.

Alexa though couldn't help but notice that every time something bad was about to happen, if it was a ferocious dragon or a strong knight, someone always managed to appear and stop the attacker, though they usually turned and attacked Laharl soon after.

Once again Alexa became knowledgeable of how cold it was and she moved behind the dragon by Jack to stay out of any direct combat until she warmed up.
