Reclaiming the Keep

[Achan]

((Ahh... evil work and school~ It's hard to keep up.. Posting Reiko Group. Will post Vyers group later.))

Reiko Group:

And still, the man took it. He stood perfectly still as the Slash hit him dead on.

When the dust was settled, the majin still stood.. just barely. But now the glow was all about Reiko's body. A cut, small at first, began to slice at his chest. First a sting, then the cut grew deeper, mirroring the deep wound that the enemy had received before..

Vyers Group:
Vyers drew several roses and locked eyes with the cockroach, techinically. He hurled the roses at the roach like one who has watched too many ninja movies. Hopefully, Vyers could at least blind the giant bug. He had given up his strength to sneak into the castle, but his aim should still be decent

At first, it was surely a good ol' fashioned stare down. On one side, the mini-Vyers. The other, the true survivor of famine and nuclear war alike.

And then Vyers had to go and hurl roses at him.

Letting out a little cockroachy roar - CHIIIIIT, the battle was on! The roses managed to make their way to its mark, though a little wobbly in their force. For a brief moment, the roach was blinded.

The lady fighter tried desperately to get her sword - or rather, toothpick - out of its scabbard. But alas, it looked like she too lost her strength, and only managed to cough and hack...

Reiko looked about on himself as the wound went deeper, he held one hand there in pain. "So that s what you did...clever.." he said. His hand began to glow a radiant green as it spread from the cut all across his body(Giga Heal). "I wont be taken down that easy though.." he said as the wound disappeared over time. A sly smile crept over his face as he looked over to the elder Majin, "No little trick like that will stop me" he thought to himself.

Reiko Group:

The majin smirked as some of his own wounds began to heal. Soon enough, half of his wounds had healed up because of Reiko. He downed some gum to fix the rest.

"Never thought it would take you down that easy. It was a little wager, and a lot of fun. Tell me, boy." A lot of the emphasis on the word 'boy'. "What is an Overlord like you doing with a chibi like that?"

Vyers Group:
((See above~))

Vyers saw the effect of the attack on the titanic bug and hurriedly gathered up the prinnies on his back. He had hunched over to carry them off, but his knees start to give way. The Dark Adonis gave his strength and beauty to sneak into the castle, and as he fell to the floor under the weight of the prinnies he shuddered at the thought of his looks.

[Mr Sinister]

Reiko glared at the Majin when saying the word boy, "Hmph..My main goal is to kill Laharl, joining Baal and his forces get me closer to it, why do you wish to know?" he said curiously. Reiko stood attentive and alert, he wasn't about to let down and show weakness in a surprise attack.

[Achan]

Vyers Group:

"Aagghaaa!!" When Vyers picked up Poi and Brue, they struggled with all their might. Which was very little, of course. Poi had remembered the battle earlier with Reiko and the thief - and had no wish to be tossed like a football and explode. Brue... well...

Yoln didn't budge, just awaiting his fate. But (un)luckily, the Beauty Baron fell flat on his face. As the lady fighter still struggled with her toothpick, and the other two prinnies were recovering from shock, Yoln turned to the rushing cockroach about to swipe their heads off.

"Chit, dood. Chit."

The cockroach screeched to a halt, stopping inches from them. It cocked its head and looked at him strangely.

Reiko Group:

"I see." The majin took a chance to glance back at the castle, to close his eyes and shake his head. He smirked when he looked back upon the boy. While he wasn't one to play with tricks - he'd much rather hurt and kill - he had to continue. He cleared his throat and pulled out a scroll, read from it in a bored, rehearsed voice. "Ha ha ha. Welcome to Overlord Laharl's castle. I am the gatekeeper. If you wish to defeat Laharl, then you must defeat me. If you wish to seek an audience, please move on to the receptionist in the front hall."

[boogieknight]

Vyers looked up to see the insect stop in its tracks. He listened to the prinny talking like a bug as best it can. Vyers encouraged Yoln, "It's working, keep at it."

He slid out an arm and made the Vulcan sign, "Live long and prosper?"

[Mr Sinister]

Reiko looked towards the castle and then back at the majin, his bow raised curiously at his words. "Ok then then so be it" he said. He thought about it and had a feeling getting to laharl wouldn't be this easy. He thought back to the ice cavern and how he was used to the cold atmosphere. He then held up his hand and had an idea, "Giga Ice" he shouted as a cold ball of energy formed around the majin

[Achan]

Vyers Group:

Both stopped their chittering to turn around and stare at Vyers. And sweatdrop. They knit closely together after giving Vyers one more dirty look, and started whispering. "Chit chit chit (dood) chit."

"What... was that'su...." Brue mumbled.

Reiko Group:

The ice formed around the majin, and he stood, frozen. The piece of parchment was still held aloft. Strangely enough, the majin didn't move. The ice didn't crack. Was the majin truly stuck in Reiko's spell?

[Mr Sinister]

Reiko looked upon the Majin circling him, it had seemed that his attack worked. He examined it furthermore, seeing no cracks and flaw. He gave a satisfied look and dashed off into the castle with sword in hand wasting little time.
