Ballista V

Their swords danced, Stella did a nice job of blocking with her shield due to the fact that Rikio was duel-wielding so she had the advantage. Rik jumped back and allowed her Jet Stream to fly at Stella, she dodged it. “You can’t harm me.” She stated as she used Defender. Rik turned and slashed quickly, cutting the Paladin in her leg, she let the scream come out of her mouth. “You’ve done it now.” Stella said as she tapped into her most powerful move, her desperation mode. With Invincible up she became immune to all of Rikio’s attacks, and she used that ability to her favor as she swung her sword at the Blue Mage. “Dude.” Just said as he stopped laughing, Chall laid out on the ground not breathing, “It’s like Mijin-Gakure but you didn’t hurt me.” Just laughed as he recalled Chall cutting himself, no, impaling himself. Chall couldn’t respond, his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Just felt bad for the boy, but then again this was Ballista. Just saw Pwn running past him and he decided to turn his frustration onto him. He jumped in the way and swung his fist but Pwn had ducked it and Just cried out in pain as an arrow was lobbed through his chest. “My fault.” Soul cried out, “Shit… my fault.” He repeated as he fired another arrow at Pwn. Just removed it and tried to stop the bleeding. “Soul.” He huffed and puffed. Pwn had managed to get away from Soul and Just stopped him before he could chase after him. “Shit.” He cried as the blood dripped over his hands. “Sorry bro.” Soul cried, “My mind is fucked up right now.” “Are you high?” Just asked, “Naw, but Stu tried to kill Chell and Twy fucking raised Tone.” “She what?” Just spit out, “Yeah…” Soul nodded his head but didn’t look at him. “Looks like we have to pay Twy a visit.” Rogue was on the receiving end of the katana, it broke through her defense and she felt vulnerable. “Seep slow.” She had poisoned Supreme, the poison began to take its effect, draining away her energy, the harder she swung, the more the poison took effect. Sooner or later the poison will wear off, but it will have had its effect of weakening Supreme. Still she managed to swing and Rogue continue trying to play the dodging game, then she felt the cold steel slide across her neck, blood spilled from her wound, Supreme had nicked it. She tried to jump out of the way as Supreme sliced her arm, she rested her body against the tree for support. She saw Supreme standing there, rage built up inside her as it seems as though she was mocking her, waiting for her to plead for her life. The fire burned inside but the pain didn’t subside. Then she noticed Supreme closed her eyes, and then she saw Khom resting against the tree. Baffled she thanked him, he nodded as his pain refused to go away. “Drop the flute!” Riq turned his head and stared at the tall Elvaan kid behind him. Elvane stood with his knuckles equipped, they had spikes on the end of them. Riq backed away as far as he could. “Back off.” Scorpionsys said as he stared at him. Elv shrugged his shoulders and swung his arm, Scorp parried it but Elv swung them too fast, a punch landed into his ribs but Riq’s melodies kept him into the fight. An arrow shot past her face and she jumped, she ran to take cover but bounced off of the Galka. “Where are you going?” Just asked her, as he lifted her up. Twylight trembled in his arms, she was scared to death, she had been caught, found out. “Why are you helping them you rat.” Just cried out, Soul had his aim onto her. “I’m not sorry for what I did, and if you’re going to kill me… fuck it… do it.” She swallowed her fear. “Ready… Aim…” Stu said from his position. Whoosh. Whoosh. The bolts flew out of his crossbow, pricking Soul and Just in the neck. “Meh.” He shot another one, putting Twy to sleep also.

“Die…” Falk shouted as her blades danced into Tazzys skin, he jumped backwards but she still hit him a great deal. “Die…” she shouted at him again, swinging them gracefully in her arms. He softly chanted to himself, and he tried to concentrate despite being attacked. The Silence had worn off on him, and now it was time to get even. As the daggers cut into his arms, his focus was still good. Soon he thought. Lifedrinker Lars kicked Bigby with its legs, sending him crashing against the ground. Blue stood up and ordered her pet to attack. Big looked up at the spider on its hind legs, he swung his dagger in defense but it didn’t do much good. He danced with the spider, and his rage grew as Blue fed her pet food, healing it when it got hurt. He decided to turn his attention to the master, not the pet. He charged at Blue before he was stopped in his tracks, spider webs attached to his legs making him slower than usual, it covered his arms and made them heavier. Blue casually smiled at him as she equipped her axe. Stella lay on the ground, she turned to her side and tried to grab her shield but Rik crashed her blade through her hand. Stella looked into the Blue Mages eyes, she saw the intensity. She didn’t know how powerful a BLU was until she had to tangle with one, even though she used her most powerful attack. Rik wasn’t out yet, and somehow she had gained control over the fight. Stella never wanted to be on the end of another Frenetic Rip in her life, the pain it caused shook her whole body, sending her crashing to the ground, and she knew it was her time to be defeated. She pondered would the Ballista end with her death, or will it continue? Rikio glanced down at her, her sole blade remaining in her hand. Stella looked at her, she shielded her face from the sun to see her better. “Thank you.” Stella said, Rik looked at her puzzled. “Thank me?” she spoke, she stopped her attack to figure out what Stella meant. Stella just nodded, and that’s when Rikio turned around. “Surprise.” Khomet said as he finished his Flare II and the wall of flames behind him came crashing towards Rikio in a hurry. She cried in pain as her body became engulfed before it sent her lifelessly to the ground. Khom extended a hand to help up Stella, who bowed to him nonstop. “Ouch.” Chell said as she grabbed at her neck, they had removed the arrow with limited damage done to her. But she began to feel a little bit woozy and her vision was blurred. “A Blind Arrow.” Faro said as he squeezed it out. She stood on her feet as Faro helped her up. “Where’s Soul?” she turned to ask him, “Fighting.” He replied. Faro tried to lead her away before he stopped and swore. “Move.” Pwn told him, a nasty scowl on his face. “I SAID MOVE!!.” He yelled at Faro again, he had nothing more than revenge on his mind, Soul almost took his life so it was time to even the score. “Man she can’t fight you.” Faro began, Pwn took out one of his axes and aimed it. There was a couple of seconds where nobody moved, no one blinked. No one said a thing, Pwn readied the axe back and forth. “Fuck it. I can’t do this.” “I can’t stare at the face of innocence and strike her down.” He said as he turned and walked away. Faro looked at him confused, but he guided Chell to turn around. They walked a couple of steps before Chell fell into him, her body pressed against his before it came crashing to the ground. “Fucker.” Faro swore as he gaped at the Maneater lodged into the back of her skull.
