Journey of the Elementals RP (Pm if Interested, Started)

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Cale raised earth walls big enough to block the incoming flames. The earth shattered on impact but at least it was enough for Cale to charge for another attack. Cale raised a boulder about the size of his body and when the earth wall shattered he broke the boulder into fragments sending at the pyromancers at deadly speeds. Like a fragmentation blast it spread itself throughout the arena. At close ranges it would kill, at medium range it would wound, and at longer ranges it would barely do a scratch. Cale really wanted to get rid of the pyromancers first seeing that once they were out of the way Cale could get to the other elements. The earthshapers he was not worried about but the other elements he focused on incapacitating first.

"We need to leave the mages with our elements last so that we can deal with the elements that we don't have any experience with. Our we can get them first if you'd like...." Cale said after unleashing the barrage of earth shrapnel. Then as he finished his sentence a boulder came hurdling towards them. Cale took Nydia and jumped out of the way. As soon as they were clear Cale raised a boulder and sent it back towards the source of the incoming fire. Cale saw the earthshaper's earth shield exploded in a cloud of earth and the earthshaper get knocked down but quickly they got up assessing their wounds.

"Nydia are you okay?"

Raven had just barely managed to psyche herself into the arena when things erupted from the opening announcement. Seth was off like a ball of flames charging at the Earth guy. However, while the flames from her teammate were heading away, there were more coming towards her from another direction. She ducked, trying to avoid the shot, but she couldn't get completely out of harms way. As she fell, her left arm got hit with the scorching heat. Once it passed she tried to beat the growing flames on her robe out, and was able to do so quick enough to avoid further damage.

"Fuck!" she cursed. The hell. They're going after me already? Probably praying on the "weak" and "powerless". You bastard. You're the same as all the others. Well fuck you. I'll fix you then.

Intent on delivering some pay back, Raven moved back alongside the wall, gathering whatever shadows she could in the small pit. She concentrated them in her hand before firing a wide laser-like beam of darkness at the head of the Pyromancer who had singed her. Let's see how you like being blind, asshole.

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

"Yes, I'm quite unharmed thanks to your quick reflexes. Thank you Cale." Nydia answered while keep her guard up to be ready for another attack. "And I think you're right, we should deal with the other elements first to avoid any nasty surprises. We don't have long until the Lightdweller finishes healing, so he and the Airshifter could be back at any- Oh! Get down!"

Nydia was cut off when she saw the Hydromancer fire a volley of ice shards towards them. Out of pure reflex, Nydia returned a volley of lasers that sublimated the ice and went on to wound her attacker. Almost in the same instant, a laser shot right past her head and Nydia quickly ducked down to avoid further fire. She set up a large light screen that would cover both her and Cale and obscure most of their part of the arena. Nydia paused to catch her breath, hoping that no one would try attack blindly through the screen. Struck with an idea, she turned to Cale. "Say, would it be possible for you to burrow us underneath our opponents and attack them from below? My lasers should be able to pierce through the ground and strike them, giving us a significant advantage."

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

"Fascinating." Aden raised his arms into a battle stance. "Let's test the endurance of that metal." He raised his hands and let the plumes of fire fly, focusing the jets of flame at the...creature's shield, eager to see the results. The light of the fire danced his eyes and a feral, insane grin creased his face.

 

[My name is Fiction]

Ed sat in the sidelines not feeling too bad about not being first. The more he watch the more he learned. looks tougher then I though, I will have to pull all the stops. With the spare time he needed to find a partner fast but who? I was planning on 1vs1 the whole time, well a partner will spice things up or at worse make me look better, more weak links to break, more fun! He cleared his throat confident someone would hear him. "Anyone interested in teaming up with an Earthshifter?"

 

[UnusualStranger]

Seth couldn't help but start laughing as the flames became less of a tool and more of a part of himself. The Earthshaper was good, there was no doubt, but he had made a very big mistake which Seth planned to make very obvious. Sliding as a boulder smashed into the ground next to him, he was but a mere step away when Seth unleashed his furious fire wave which blasted the armor clean off the Earthshaper and launched him backwards, sending the opponent rolling away upon the ground, where he was just as quickly enveloped in the earth to make sure that no one thought he was still up.

Seth spun, looking for his next opponent only for a force of water to come barreling at him. He threw a quick fire shield up to ultimately turn the attack to steam, but took a few steps away from the source, looking at his companion.

"HAVING FUN RAVEN?" Seth said still laughing as he grabbed a fireball more intended for her to instead launch at the Hydromancer he now had to deal with.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aden's opponent was no fool, and almost as if he had been moving at a dead sprint his legs moved him quickly so that he was not in the direct path of the flames. The cloaked figure was sprinting along, showing no fear as a few of the flames licked the cloak, but it wouldn't seem to catch fire. The character, seeing that the shield was no longer worthwhile, changed the form of the shield, which seemed to fold up into smaller blades. As if he had done this all their life, he threw three daggers at Aden, continuing his dead sprint.

Aaron, in the meantime, had begun with a flurry of blows against his opponent, which seemed to be unexpected from his opponents perspective as he stumbled backwards attempting to get a lead on his newfound problem. Thinking he saw an opening, the man brought his blade forward to slash Aaron's offhand, only for the hand to grab the metal blade.

"...Didn't expect that, did you?" Aaron growled, slamming his blade into the gut of his opponent, who was now stumbling backwards back were Aden and his partner were now fighting.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

Aden may not have been trained in kinetic battle, but he was a Fire Mage and thus, flexibility and quickness were crucial skills. As he saw the knives coming, he twisted to the side and fired a jet of fire into their path. One of the knives harmlessly passed him, and another was reduced to molten slag in the fire stream, but the third slipped past his guard and impacted his arm, making a deep gash before falling into the dirt. Aden cursed loudly as his blood began running out and dripping down into the dirt.

Time to alter tactics.

He brought his arms apart, then brought his fists forward, conjuring focused blasts of fire rather than the streams he had been using. I wonder how he will do when things get a little...hotter.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana looked around and was amazed at what was within his circle. "Well, we have a Earthshaper plus a Airshifter, a pyro and a hydro, and two flashlights. Damn, I wish we had a Nightshade in here, if only to complete the whole team of opposites. You guys are really letting your side down, you know." Grana added this last part to aggravate the Lightdwellers, and it worked quite well. The moment Marcus declared the fight started, the normally passive Lightdwellers charged straight for Grana and Amuro. Grana looked over at Amuro and winked as he took a gulp of the alcohol and then summoned flames to coat his arms. Amuro grinned as he summoned a large gust of wind to propel Grana towards the Dwellers. "One Pyro express, comin' right at ya!" Amuro roared as Grana rapidly approached his target. Grana reached out with his hand to burn the Dweller from earlier than had seemed so keen to punish Grana, only for the man to shrink back in fear. In response, Grana threw himself into a backflip, smiling as he felt his foot connect with the Dweller's chin, snapping it back. Grana was barely able to twist his body in time to avoid a laser from the second Lightdweller. For his troubles, Grana sprayed the man with the alcohol he had been holding for some time now. It took only the smallest of flames to start the Dweller's ceremonial pyre as he tired to wipe the liquid off him. Earthdwellers carted the man, screaming, out for immediate medical attention. The first Lightdweller didn't fare much better, as Amuro sent blast after blast of air toward the poor soul, crushing him against the wall. Amuro let up only long enough for medical teams to take him in. Amuro quickly joined Grana, as the other teams had by now realized just how destructive a combo a Pyromancer and an Airshifter could be.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

"It's gonna take alot of energy from me but I can try. Those moves are more for adepts than mages but I can manage a bit." Cale said a midst the sounds of the battle going around them. Cale stole a quick glance from outside the protection of the shield and saw that the earthshaper and his hydromancer partner had engaged the pyromancer team. The Hydromancer was doing wonders against the pair of pyromancers but a out of the corner of Cale's eye the hydromancer was knocked down by a concentrated gust of wind. Cale looked to see the airshifter had been making use of the winds of this place and took to flying. Cale kicked up the ground and launched a boulder at the airshifter. Sadly it missed and the airshifter came towards the pair.

"Nydia, can you take out moving targets with those lasers of yours? I'm asking this because there's one of the airshifters coming our way!"

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

"Oh, of course I can! I'm pretty good sh-" Before Nydia could finish her sentence or even blink hardly, the flying Airshifter collided directly into her chest and used a gust of wind to add even more force to the blow, sending her flying. Nydia, once again out of pure reflex, threw her hand out and fired a volley of lasers into the airshifters, now point-blank, chest before flying backwards and crashing into the wall.

That will certainly leave a bruise.... Nydia thought as she slowly rose to her feet, and stumbled over to her fallen foe. His wounds were enough to keep him down for quite some time but they were not fatal, and soon he was collected by the Earthshapers. The Lightdweller, now suddenly alone, threw up a lightscreen of his own to avoid being ganged up on now that his partner was down, and the other teams were still busy with each other. Nydia took advantage of the lull to regroup with Cale. "I'm sorry, Cale.... I let my guard down. I'll be more careful next time. Now, I think would be a good time to strike the two teams that are busy with each other. That Lightdweller won't pose much of a threat on his own once they are finished. Whenever you are ready, a synchronous strike from us should lead to victory." Nydia said, hoping they would be able to put an end to this before anymore unexpected surprises came their way.

 

[SkyeNeko]

Fei nodded, skirting behind her brother. I... I can do this! Fog formed as she pulled the cloud lower, almost obscuring them from sight. The winds from the small tornado/storm helped her cool the water to freezing, and she shot out small shards of ice at the dual wielder, confident that he wouldn't be able to melt them. Doesn't look like an Adept yet~ Seeing the shards, the Earthshaper erected a shield around her and her partner, pulling up the ground beneath the sibling's feet.

The other pairs seemed content battling each other, eying them only to see if there was a weaker pair or an opening for them to quickly take one mage out.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Drew jumped back, using the wind to keep him a little off the ground so he didn't stumble. Taking some of the gravel from the newly lifted earth and blasted a current of air to is, blowing dust into the Earthshifter's eyes, blinding him. He took went to Fei and motioned for her to follow him to get into another spot.

"Ok... just wait for it... once one mage gets taken out, we'll wait until they try to pick off the remaining one. Then we attack a group and try to separate them before they take out the lone mage." He noticed one of the other groups going after the dual wielder's partner. "Shouldn't be long now..."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana sighed as the Pyromancer summoned fire while his Hydromancer friend turned away, distracted by the machinations of the Shifter and the Shaper. Grana summoned a flame bigger than he could ever hope to control, but it was okay because he had friends in high places. Speaking of which... "Amuro! Get your flighty ass down here! I need you to help blow out a candle." Amuro grinned as he flew down from his vantage point, where he had been stealthily counteracting the attacks of his fellow Shifter, much to the latter's consternation. "C'mon, will I have to do everything now? You should've studied a little harder, Grana!" Grana shook his head. "I don't want to get my hands dirty when I have you around to do it for me. Now shut up and get down here, before the birthday candle over here realizes he should stop being a pussy and attacks already. The Pyromancer roared with rage and began to throw forward a steady stream of flame. Amuro met it in kind, using the winds to kindle and whip up Grana's fire into a maelstorm. The twin jets of flame met in the middle, with Amuro's and Grana's flame consuming the pitiful Pyro's pyre like candy. The Pyromancer however, was smart enough to realize he couldn't win, and decided to bail.

Unfortunately, Amuro was ready and waiting. Grana grinned and yelled a single word. "Pull!" The unlucky Pyromancer turned around just in time for Amuro's kick to hit him squarely in the chest, sending him flying with the help of the wind. Grana reared back and prepared to throw his fireball, only for it to veer wildly as his legs were taken out from beneath him. Grana ended up facedown in the water, and began to panic as he realized the water had formed a ball surrounding his head. Fortunately, Grana instinctively superheated his skin, causing the water to evaporate. Lucky for Grana, his errant blaze had landed in a puddle of alcohol from earlier. Unlucky for the other Pyromancer, so did he. As the poor soul was carted out of the arena screaming, the Hydromancer looked scared. "Oops." She said, a slight underreaction considering what had just happened. "Oops? Honey, I'm gonna make you yell a lot more than just 'oops' by the time I'm done with ya." Grana rubbed his head, where he had hit it when colliding with the ground. "Hey, Amuro! Why didn't you throw me a warning?" Grana demanded. Amuro was slightly preoccupied in an aerial battle with the second Airshifter, who was not happy after being tricked. "Oh... That's why... Well, shit." Grana muttered to himself. It looked like the first round wasn't going to be that easy.

 

[My name is Fiction]

Edward sat down in the stands drawing a couple of sketches and taking more notes then he ever did in class while he watched the spectacle.
All the good people have been taken or am I not looking hard enough?
As he filled up the first page he heard his stomach grumble.
And why can't they sell some popcorn? this would be perfect timing.
I haven't ate anything this whole time have I
Tied between the two choices he decided to focus on the show, getting closer to the edge to see it better.

 

[NeoAC]

The beam of darkness struck it's mark, the Pyromancer staggered backwards the flame in his hands building but not having anywhere to go. In a team brawl such as this, the smart fighter knows not to fire off blindly, less a teammate get caught in the crossfire, but there was nowhere for the Pyro's flame to go. Until Raven gave it a direction.

With Seth taking most of the battles in the center, and the Airshifter taking on the other Earthshaper, it looked like the Pyro was being hung out to dry. Meanwhile, Raven was skirting by relatively unnoticed, an afterthought, when compared to the more combat ready of the combatants, she was able to get right next to the beleaguered pyro, and with a sudden movement, grabbed his hand and shoved it high into his face. How do you like me now, flamer? Having to deal with no eyesight, the pyro was caught off-guard, and his own attack spell caught him flush. He fell to the ground, screaming.

"HAVING FUN RAVEN?" Seth was just laughing off these fights.

"OH JUST HAVING A BLAST!" Raven shouted back. As if you can have fun doing this. Although is was nice to catch that bastard right in-AAAAAAHHHHH!

Unfortunately for Raven, shouting to her partner in the fight only caught the attention of the Pyro's partner. The Lightdweller, whose Ray of Light was just as accurate as Raven's own shot (and twice as painful as that Madonna song). The Nightshade's head was jerked back by the force of the blinding lights, hood flying back, exposing hair and skin that rarely saw sunlight. Her eyes weren't working, all she could see was white nothingness.

"AUGH! AUGH YOU FUCKING LIGHT *****!" This led to another problem, as Raven was not a smart fighter. Intent on getting more payback sooner rather than later, she started firing off dark rays as soon as she could muster them, hoping to catch the Lightdweller the same way she caught the Pyro.

 

[UnusualStranger]

Aden's opponent noted the changes simply as the fireballs began flying, and changed his arm once more back to the shield. This time, he did not seem content to dodge about and evade, he began making his way towards Aden, leaping to the sides on merely a whim, until finally he appeared to make his decision and jumped towards Aden, his other arm in the form of a blade.

Aaron, in the meantime, had drawn his blade out of his opponent, and spun, meeting the metal blade of his opponent, but the fellow was much slower with the wound through him, and Aaron simply seemed to step back, prepare his strike, and then almost seeming to defy how fast his human body should move, his blade lashed out, neatly cutting his opponent down, heavily slamming into the ground.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Seth let the inferno spiral about himself, directing it to stop the water as it came at him. It was an interesting dance, with him being unable to get an effective inferno to lance through the waters, yet the water could not put out the flames. An even match.

However, it seemed that their fun was to be interrupted, as Seth heard Raven scream out as she was struck. Seth wasn't sure what his next move should be now.....other than to just let everyone have it.

Goddammit. Guess it's time to change the targets.

Just like that, Seth let his inferno simply fly towards the Lightdweller, much to the surprise of the Hydromancer who had expected the fun to continue, and had thrown up a strong ice shield to overtake it. This led to the hydromancer quickly throwing their ice blocks Seth's way, which launched the pyromancer backwards. Not the softest way to travel, but he needed to be back some to get to Raven.

"RAVEN! WATCH IT DAMMIT!" Seth shouted, climbing back to his feet, lighting himself up some to get the lingering water and ice off himself before it was used against him.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Wah!" Fei fell back as she lost her footing, lucky that her brother was able to defend her while she was down. She quickly scrambled up behind him, trying to concentrate again. The earth shield surrounding the pair cracked, and Drew had just enough time to tell Fei to get down. The Air/Hydro blasted the shrapnel out with gusts of wind, clearly more advanced as an Airshifter than as a Hydromancer. All but one of the other mages were able to successfully block the assault. One of the Earthshapers, a young mage, was hit bad. He was quickly carted out, but the Pyromancer wasn't about to go down easy. An inferno erupted around the raging woman, clearly much higher ranking than her partner. Thankfully she was concerned with the Earthshaper and her partner, not the other mages. Almost singlehandedly she doubled the temperature in the arena.

"Drew... it's hot!" Even with her water, she could barely keep up with the heat, trying to lower her own temperature. The Nightshade had melded into the wall, probably to escape the heat as well, with the Earthshifter burrowing in the Earth.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Shit... Wasn't expecting a Pryomancer this high up in skill... Still, everyone is busy trying to get away from her... I can pick her off without drawing too much attention... "Fei! Draw as much water as you can and hurl it right at her! Try and blind her with steam and fog! ......Also, are you far enough in your training that you can heal minor burn wounds?" Confusion is only good if I can immedeately get her out of the fight. Nobody will see anything... but I might get burned.

 

[NeoAC]

"RAVEN! WATCH IT DAMMIT!"

"Watch what? I can't fucking see!" Raven answered, still trying to get her bearings. She stopped firing dark bolts however, If Seth was shouting that would mean her shots weren't finding the intended target. If I got hit by a fucking nightshade I'd be fine, but no, little miss goody light-shoes has to send me into the fucking sun! Lousy *****!

She was wandering around now, she tripped over a body on the ground, it let out a pained, but female moan. Huh, was that light *****? What happened to her? On the ground. Serves her right. She kicked back at the body and moved on, trying to find a corner to wait out the effects of the last spell. Faint shapes were starting to come back, but they weren't amounting to much.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

As his enemy closed to attack, Aden grinned. He continued his barrage of fireballs and breathed in deeply through his nose, letting a grin twist across his features. He stopped his barrage a moment before his enemy closed to range and focused his energy inside, then let his breath out in a torrent of fire at nearly point-blank range.
