Ballista IV

Water rushed through Jugner Forest at a rapid pace, sending Rooghan and Biofao in its tides. Roo’s body crashed along the side of the cliff, his heart stuttered and then it finally stopped. Bio’s Ancient Magic was a lot stronger than his, he swallowed his defeat. “God Damn it.” Falk sighed as she noticed another casualty with Roo defeated. “There goes the BST and BLM.” She said as she took her aim on Mrstaz. She had taken one too many steps toward Drakk and Falk decided that if she takes one more it will be her last. She looked around as though she knew she had eyes on her, and that’s when she spotted Falk in the distance, crossbow raised chest level, aiming between her eyes. She timidly stopped in her tracks, she threw up her hands as if she surrendered. Falk continued to hold her aim. She heard something being chanted behind her, she twist her head and gasped. “FFS.” She cried under her breath as Tazzy conjured under a strong tornado. She watched as the wind whipped and howled around him, then he stopped. Fant had casted Silence on him, and by the graces of Altana it had stuck. They shared blow after blow, swords rung off of each other as the friends dueled with pride. Batt whipped his blade to Aur’s neck and Aur raised his shield to block it, it clanged off the metal, back and forth they went, never actually one upping each other. When their swords met again, it was Batt the smarter one, he lunges his shield into Auron’s skull, the hit was unexpected and it knocked him backwards. He thrust the sword into his torso, piercing his Paladin armor. He flinched from the sting of his blade, but he regained himself and stood back up. A determined look on his eyes as he smiled at Batt, who had a grin on his face. He had finally gotten the best of his good friend. He raised his sword and once again the blades danced off each other. Pwn’s back was against the wall, he was trapped, cornered. He had more muscle than his foe. But Fico was crazy. He swung his axe and he ducked, he swung again and it hit Pwn in his tail as he tried to roll out of the way. He became enraged, he blocked Fico’s next attack and the one after, Fico swung his axes nonstop as if they were lightweights. He never seemed to tire, he had too much aggression inside of him. The force Fico swung the axes with was hard enough to knock one of Pwns out of his hand. A blade hit Fico in the back of the neck, Links looked down at him shocked, she didn’t know if she had killed him or not. She didn’t think she would be strong enough to defeat Fico, but she knew she could take his vision off Pwn until he was able to gather himself. Pwn grabbed his axe off the ground, he dusted the Maneater and turned his attention to the fellow Warrior bent over in pain. He raised his hands to strike before he noticed what was in the distance. “Run.” He turned to Links and said as Soul let his Sidewinder release from his bow. She stared at him confused before the deadly arrow struck her, it entered the side of her neck and flew out the other. He gasped as she hit the ground, and he looked back at Soul who had his aim on him, he took off running as fast as his Galkaan legs would let him. “Coward.” Bluegirl screamed at Bigby, who had his daggers equipped and he twirled them in a circle. “How so, I’m just the smarter fighter.” He said as he peered at her. She kept a close eye on his hands, he wouldn’t be able to take her by surprise again. “That was low.” She spat out at him. “This is Ballista love, no such things as cheapshots.” She had heard enough, she took her fighters stance. Before she could blink he flung his dagger at her, it knocked her to the ground. “You always let me get the first step on you Blue.” He said as he removed his dagger from her body. “You shouldn’t make this so easy.” He said as he stood atop her. “Oh, I won’t.” she said as she fiddle in her bag for something Tone had given her for today, she laid the Clear Blood Broth on the ground and used her whistle. Coming over the hill Big noticed and that’s when panicked. “You whore.” He thrust the daggers down onto her, she threw her shield up as a prayer and it caught his daggers, they almost splintered it into two. “Fuck.” He cried as he tried to pull them out before Lifedrinker Lars made his way towards his master. Rogue ducked the Samurais Katana, she rolled to her side trying to avoid any harm. Supreme didn’t let her attacks stop though, she was upset when she discovered Links and Unreal were defeated. She wanted to hack away everyone, killing a weapon Vol wasn’t satisfying enough for her, she needed more. She spotted Rogue running after Chall had freed himself from the tree and that’s when she approached her, intent on killing her. She blinded Supreme with a spell, and hope it helped her caused that she was swinging the heavy weapon blindly. She stoneskinned herself and prepared herself to fight, or die trying.

Stella took a look at the carnage around her, the fighting, and the deaths. She saw not only her husband, but her good friend defeated. She choked back tears as she held her sword in her hand. She saw Bio, Roo, Vol, everyone defeated. Her mind began to warp as she wondered how the bounce back from this would be. Mythic might not be together much longer, if this hatred continues. She knelt besides Drakk’s body, she touched his face, she knew she had a bright red target slapped onto her back if she tried to raise him. So she didn’t, she just let her glove hand run across his face. She heard a leaf crunch behind her and she turned her head to the side. Rikio glared at her, her swords equipped. Stella arched her back before she stood. She had no more will to fight anymore, she was ready to call an end to the battle. She turned to tell Rik to back off before she saw Rik used Diamondhide on herself. She peered at the Taru’s face hidden behind the Optical Hat. “If we must.” Stella sighed as she let her blade careen off of Rik’s. Twylight had snuck over towards him, she glared at his face. She went a distance and she began to cast Raise. She knew she could get into all type of trouble for it, but he was the closest friend she had on here and she wouldn’t let him be defeated. It was a matter of life and death, his timer was down to ten minutes. She had chanted long enough and finally it was cast. He rose to his feet, and looked around for someone to thank. “I got you, like I said… Always.” Twy said as she bowed to Tone and snuck away. She knew she was going to be labeled as a traitor and she didn’t care, some people were worth more than a countries allegiance. “What a little…” Undyingsoul said as he readied his aim, friend or not, he was going down. He peeked out of his hiding spot to see if Stu was anywhere in sight, he knew if he stood up to long he might never breath again. Stu and Soul had a nice Ranger standoff going, but Stu had been quiet for a couple of minutes and Soul worried he was going to be ambushed. But he was infuriated at what he saw. He let the arrow fly from his bow, striking Tone in the back of the head. He fired again and again until the Beastmaster dropped again. “She fucking raised him.” He told Chell from her hiding spot. “Who?” she asked, she wasn’t paying attention. “Twy’s a fucking traitor.” He screamed at her, he couldn’t believe it. She had her back against the rock, as Soul ducked his head back down with her. “That fucking sucks.” She cried angrily. Soul looked up and fired his bow again. “I know right, what the hell is her problem. She better move to Bastok.” He said as he fired another arrow into the group of Bastokians. “I can’t believe.” He said before he stopped, blood splattered onto his face. He wiped it off with his hands and fired another shot blindly. “They going down.” He told Chell as he shot. “Chell.” He said when she didn’t respond, he gasped at the arrow lodged into her neck. “Shit.” “Faro Faro!” Soul cried for someone to come help her, he couldn’t call Twy because he’d probably kill her. Farozan ran to his side and gagged, “Don’t touch it.” Soul yelled, “Just cure her please.” And Farozan did as he was asked, playing the medic to Chell whose health was draining away. “Eye for an eye.” Undyingsoul said as he widescanned the area and picked out his target. “Try to hit me where it hurts, I can do the same.” He said justified. He knew Stu was the one who tried to kill Chell. Just threw up his fist to block Chall’s Katana, while it had hurt, it sure beats being dead. Chall had stalked him like a buzzard, he saw the pain Unreal inflicted and he pounced at the open opportunity he had in front of him. Just barely got out of the way as Chall’s blade cut the earth. He landed a punch onto Chall, and another, his body wasn’t meant to take these kinds of hits. As big as Just is, his fist hitting Chall felt like boulders being crashed into his body. He backed away from him, his mind woozy, he swung his katana vigorously. He cried out in pain as it ripped through his body, Just stared in awe, and then he burst into laughter. “Are you okay?” he stopped to ask as the katana pierced Chall’s flesh. She had her daggers at his eye level, without his magic he was useless and sadly he knew it. He tried to counteract by fighting with his staff, but all that did was infuriate Falk and by him some more time to live. Tazzy had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. His choices were face death or Warp. With Falk distracted his wife managed to get Drakk up, but he had to run to safety inside of his weakened state.
