In Darkness

Dante looked at her, then he suddenly seemed to grow even more agitated.
"My brother... he may have had something to do with it. He has a strange power over dreams. He can mold them into anything he wants... but that means that he must be close. Or else he couldn't influence your dream..."
As he said this, Dante slid his hand to the hilt of his blade, looking around...

Sieg hugged Hunter back, as he said...
"I promise that you will be safe. No matter what happens I... won't lose you again. No matter what."

I hugged tighter. "That might b-b-be it..." I was turning redder. I didn't want to let go. Part of me thought this was unsual, I normally fended for myself. The rest of me thought this was right, and didn't want to let go. "Please don't leave, Dante... I-I feel safer with you here." I said, my muzzle now bright red.

Dante relaxed his grip on his blade, and wrapped both his arms around Jaina. He held her close for a moment, then said...
"It's gonna be fine. I'll stay here with you. If you don't mind putting on some clothes, that is..."

"Err.. Would going under the sheets be okay? I can't sleep on a warmer day like this if I get too hot." I said, disintangling myself from Dante. I felt warm all over. I noticed that even my tail had wrapped itself around. I walked back to the bed, and got under the sheets. "Maybe I'll sleep better now that you're here..." I closed my eyes.

OOC: Que violent attack by cultists.

Hunter still hugging Sieg shuddered and she couldn't stop shaking for some reason...and then it hit her as her eyes shot open in fear. "We need to leave now! This place isn't safe anymore!" Just as those words left her mouth the sound of glass breaking could be heard as one window in the kitchen shattered into fragments.

Another window shattered as well and a net was thrown thorught the opening...just as Hunter was standing to investigate, the net wrapped around her body and shocked her with 2,000 volts of electircity and Hutner fell to the floor unconsious.

OOC: Que means start right?

Raptor · **Reply #225 on:** January 07, 2008, 12:04:11 AM

OOC: Yep.

IC: Jaina:

I sat bolt upright, swung off the bed, swung on an overcoat, and pulled a gun off from the bedside table. Any self-consciousness of being seen wearing only an overcoat vanished, as a I flung the door open and pointed the gun to the broken window. Then, I turned red, remembering my situation. Jerek stared at me in shock for a few seconds, then pointed his guns back at the window.

Jae shot at a cultist as she pulled out a second gun, glad she had left herself holding one pistol in her hand. When she shot the gun made almost no sound due to both the silencer and the sub sonic ammo being used. She continued shooting, depending on what sort of clothing or body armor they appeared to wear either in the vitals, a head shot, the face, or other vulnerable place of their body.

Sieg watched Hunter fall, and he roared in anger. He lunged into the culitsts, blade slashing away. After felling several, he jumped back, cursing in anger.
"Damn! This isn't working... we need backup!"
The armor on his left arm began glowing, and he placed his hand on the ground, intoning...
"Sin of the darkness, anguish of all, I summon thee, now heed my call. Guilt! Come forth!"
Several sword-wielding demons formed around him, and he gestured to have them attack the enemies. Dante meanwhile, was supporting Jaina, his two pistols roaring as he shot at the cultists coming through the window...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #228 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:14:15 AM

Hunter was slowly regaining her senses as she heard cursing and gunfire...but it took her a moment to remember what had happened and then it came back to her in a flash! The cultist had attacked, and she was the first to go down...her eyes rotated upward and saw a blade coming down upon her head and thought 'This is it for me....I wish I had more time with Sieg...I'll never forget him!'

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #229 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:17:12 AM

Steel clashed upon steel as Sieg's blade stopped the attack. Letting out a feral growl, he sent the cultist flying with a kick to the torso, then one of his demons appeared and stabbed the flying foe. He turned to Hunter and said...
"Thank goodness that you're OK. I couldn't stand the thought of losing you..."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #230 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:21:14 AM

Hunter blushed as she said "Thanks...I owe you another one." She then struggled to get out of the net to no avail. She blushed again as she asked Sieg, "Uhh...can I get a little help here...I'm kinda stuck in this silly net...and I would love to repay the jerk who put me in this thing to begin with!"

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #231 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:25:49 AM

"Right. Here you go." Sieg smiled as he cut the net with his blade before returning his attention to the oncoming cultists.
"Geez! There's no end to them."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #232 on:** January 07, 2008, 02:33:59 AM

Hunter smiled as she was finally free of that accursed net and she replied to Sieg...

"There will be in about ten seconds!" She then let loose a scream and flipped over one cultist and drop kicked another then brought her fist around to punch another one in the face, and just as she was about to strike another one with her right arm, she suddenly felt a jolt of pain, it was cold and red hot at the same time....it actually stopped her from screaming in pain...for about twenty seconds then she did scream!

:AHHHH!" She then ripped the sword....(for that's what it obviously had to be to cause this kind of pain) out of her arm and with her left hand snapped another cultist neck dropping his body to the floor before she asked "W-where are w-we going to go now?" The pain and blood loss was starting to get to her. 'Dang I'm losing too much blood, but if I hadn't pulled that sword out of my arm....he would've taken my whole arm off!' thought Hunter as her vision began to blur

Jae continued to shoot the cultists. She continued to shoot with one hard as she pressed the button to drop the magazine from one pistol and put it into her mouth sideways to hold as she took out another magazine to put into the pistol, which she cocked using same mouth and hand before she continued shooting.

Sieg raced over to Hunter's side, placing his hand on the wound. He tore a strip of cloth off of a dead cultist, making sure that there was no blood on it. He quickly bandaged up Hunter's wound, placed his hand on it and recited a basic healing doggerel. He then picked up his sword again, and leapt into the fray again.
Dante, meanwhile, had run out of ammo in his pistol magazines. He holstered them both deftly, then drew his sword, swiping at any cultists near him.

Raptor · **Reply #235 on:** January 07, 2008, 11:27:32 AM

I kicked a Cultist. Now was not the time to be self-conscious. I shot another in the head, but I felt someone step on my tail. They ground their foot in. I winced in pain, and turned one gun back and shot randomly. The pressure was instantly taken off my tail. Some tears had appeared in my overcoat, but I didn't really care. Jerek was facing off against several cultists. I was about to give him some help, when I suddenly felt a hand around my neck, and something heavy bash into my head. My vision swam, and I blacked out...

OOC: Que end of battle, and raid on the Cultist base, and epic battle with Heartwood himself.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #236 on:** January 07, 2008, 11:35:28 AM

Dante turned around, just in time to see Virgil knock Jaina out. As he picked up her unconcious form, Dante yelled out!
"Jaina! No!" Then he focused on Virgil, growling...
"Virgil... let her go. Now, or I kill you..."
Virgil simply grinned, and taunted...
"I'd love to see you try. But you have to reach me first..."
And he turned around and left, leaving several cultists surrounding Dante. He tried his best to fend them off, but a strike from behind him sent him to the floor, out cold...
Sieg was faring little better. Cut in several places, and bleeding from a wound to the arm, he was barely holding his own against the tide. As another strike was aimed at him, he parried it but was hit by a stunning shot from an unseen opponent. Delacroix stepped in, and pried the gauntlet off of Sieg, dispelling the Sword demons as he did so, and calmly left again...

Jerek:

"Jaina!" I shouted. Everything went red. I swung one of my pistols, and caved in the muzzel of a Ceolophysis. I shot two Cultists at once, and shot more, forging a path to where Dante's brother had left with my sister. But to no avail. Suddenly, a figure appeared, massive and hulking, and swatted me aside like a fly. I crashed into a wall. The figure vanished, as the cultists began to retreat. As I lay there, temporarly paralized, I recalled my father's last words. "Take care of your sister, Jerek, keep her safe." I guess I failed.

Jaina:

My vision swam again. I looked around, my vision still blurry. I was in the back of a car... my vision darkened again, and I once again fell unconsious.

Kor · **Reply #238 on:** January 07, 2008, 11:58:28 AM

Jae continued shooting, using the same method to shoot while loading her other pistol. She continued doing so as long as the cultists came and she could, focusing on attempting to keep the cultists off of the other folks since they were more important then she was to the overall safety of the city, if not the world, and she put the safety of others before her own.

Damien:

"Yessssss..." Damien said, as he heard the car stop. It was all coming together. Soon, his master would be free, and the world would be his. When the figures exited the car, one carrying Jaina Anderson's unconsious figure, Damien said "Good.... for once, you are sucsessful... I must congratulate you... now, tie the girl down, so the ritual may begin."
