[HEADING=1]Era of the Gods[/HEADING]
The day was as bleak as a day could get. The lustrous blue sky and illuminating sun both were being blocked by foreboding dark Grey clouds, casting their shadows over the entire land. The heavens crashed with thunder, and rain began to fall down, increasing with speed until it slammed into the battle field below. The Hydra roared, and the peasants screamed and ran. They sprinted away from the gigantic beast, but they couldn't run fast enough. The massive beast was gaining ground on the innocent civilians. The hydra was dripping wet, and it accentuated the green skin on its scales. Its head looked ferocious, sharp teeth snapping at everything, and a massive neck, longer than its body. It had spines running down its neck and back, sharp enough to cut skin if anyone was to touch one.
Its head snapped at backs of the slower villagers, but they continued running, hoping that someone would save them. One person tripped and the Hydra squealed with delight, moving its neck down to grab a bite. As it neared its prey, a man with a helmet made of metal to resemble a wolf's head, slammed into it, as he rammed into it, a snap resounded through the air. The Saviour helped the man up and pushed him off on his way. The hydra just laid there for a moment, before twitching then it's neck re-snapping back in place, and lifting it's head to threaten the man with the helmet.
Zero yelled loudly over the rain and thunder, "It's still not dead I'll need some help here!" to the surrounding team members around the area, and he just waited for it to attack, his powers couldn't help too much right here, only after they had killed it would he be of service.
<spoiler=OOC>It has begun. The team mates are you, you are all in this area (Sorry but I need to enforce this for now) and we are trying to kill this Hydra, I figured we should start with some action... Plot will happen soon after this...
Even if you are an evil character you are still in it at this part...

Strife smiled, looking over at Zero as he called for help. He shrugged and decided that he would lend a hand if it would get him out of this bloody arena quicker. Armor began to cover his bare arms, turning his fingers into deadly claws and his elbows into curved spikes. It was a crueler form than the other members of the Golem family, but he preferred it due to its effectiveness in combat situations. He started a slow jog which turned into a sprint, aiming straight for the hyrda as he raced towards the hydra. His head finally covered itself in the armor, leaving his head and the rest of his body defended.
"Can't handle it on your own Zero?" Strife called out as he raced by, bringing a clawed hand out to lash at the hydra's exposed neck.

Blink slipped into the battle field, a hundred or so yards behind strife and Zero. Blink smiled as he stepped out of the swirling black portal behind him and looked at the hydra. "Interesting!" He said as he pulled his cloak around him, trying to ward of the cold after effects of travel on the plain of ghosts. It will be interesting to see how this turns out... He thought to himself as he grabbed at the curved dagger he wore around his waist. He was comforted by the familiar worn leather handle of the knife.
Variava quickly looked around, spying the closest vantage points as he ran closer to the call for help. He quickly threw his bag up a nearby tree, and climbed up quickly after it. From his back he took his bow, a primitive thing to say the least, but built well enough to get the job done. From his bag he produced the his bow string, and quickly strung it and gave it a test twang as he gave a satisfied smirk. From a quiver on his leg (closer to a pouch than an actual bonified quiver) he set the arrow up and brought it back quickly, and almost as fast let the arrow go, the twang of the arrow and the sound of the shot arrow music to his ears. Variava smiled as he brought another arrow to his bow, his red pupils lighting up slowly as he began to aim the second shot, going for the beasts eyes for lack of a weak point.
"Going to have to work as a team Strife! I wouldn't expect anyone to handle this on their own!" Variava called out quickly to his charging team mate.

On the other side of the village, Eve stares at the monstrosity. 'This isn't a thing I should be fighting' she thought to herself. After a few moments she noticed that some faster villagers manage to avoid the attacks of the Hydra.
Eve fell down to her knees and began screaming. She tore apart most of her muscle mass in her left arm, using it to increase the muscle mass in her legs in an effort to greatly enhance her speed. A few minutes pass, but for Eve the unbearable pain made it feel like hours. Eve stands up on her two feet, her left arm dangling from her shoulder with just enough muscle to hold it together.
Eve extends a tooth and gives it a sharp edge while she sacrifices some bone from her pinkey finger on her left arm. She then cuts her right forearm and creates a passageway for her blood to manifest, creating a curved sword like weapon that extends from her forearm. She looks at the others fighting and asks herself, 'Why am I fighting for these people?'.

This is the kind of weapons I'll use. You will see some more of it in the future.
Why am I fighting here? I don't like fighting, every battle takes a toll on my body, since I'm making it into a salad.

"Let's see if you can take on this guy without using that shield of yours aye strife?" Zero asked him as he saw him sprint in and go for the monsters neck. The monster tried to dodge, but as the claw raked across its neck, the Armour proved stronger than the scales, cutting a gash in its neck. It roared back, raising it's head higher.
It's sudden movement made the first arrow miss, but the next one that he aimed buried itself deep into its eye. It began to thrash about wildly, charging forward trying to stomp on someone.
Zeros smile faded as he was forced to dodge to the side to avoid being squashed.
<spoiler=OOC>To make my ability have an at least somewhat offensive capabilities, I'm going to edit my sheet somewhat...
<spoiler=IronRuler>All will be revealed. You can't expect everything to be revealed in the first post

Grimm raised his head greet the black, swirling clouds overshadowing himself and the beast before him. His face wearing a humble smile one would use to greet an old friend, Such a perfect day .
Grimm fell to his knees and pound, with both hands, the abyss of his shadow. The shadow rippled like a stone cast into a pond (this was just the beginning of what was to come). Soon the shadow began to sliver up his arms like a pitch black serpent, it began to mould around Grimm's arms and ooze like a foul sludge.
When Grimm rose his arms were covered in a glistening, obsidian like substance. His fingers tipped with blade sharper than any metal.
Grimm glanced over his shoulder after hearing a query from a woman behind him, one of her arm's hung, lifeless. the other with a scythe like construct of crystalline red
"Because we can, we have a means they do not. To simply let them die would be selfish and lazy." Answered Grimm as he began to advance of the beast before him. He Yelled out to the woman as she stood questioning herself further.
"Besides, I'm sure it will be a good fight."

Variava almost lost his smirk when the first arrow sailed past, but quickly it grew broader than ever when he called out "Now that's what I call a hit!" He said laughingly as he notched another arrow into his bow, and began aiming toward the wound in the beasts neck, this time to make sure he calculated the movement along with the actual aim of his bow, as he let off another shot. He quickly looked down at his quiver, and cursed at himself for not making more arrows earlier, as he was down to just a few more.
He quickly unstrung his bow as he grabbed his pack and slung both around his shoulder. As the beast ran forward so did he, wanting to find a better vantage point before it moved past where he could effectively hit it.

It wasn't an ideal situation. Risking life and limb to save people who could never repay him. Levitas let out a loud sigh, droplets of rain dripping of the hood of his cloak. He tore his cloak off revealing a pale face framed with pristine silver hair which dangled just past his chin. Levitas studied the situation with his piercing silver eyes. Allies running franticly to be heroes, a monster killing random people, it was all very messy.
"Selfish is my middle name Grimm." Levitas said in a lethargic tone. He did not actually have a middle name but that was unimportant.
Strolling towards the monster slowly, Levitas knelt down briefly to steal the sword of a wounded man. Holding it by the tip of the handle, he spun 360 degrees before throwing the blade at the Hydra's chest. The sword, having kinetic energy transfered into it, flew through the air at a speed that would make most arrows look slow.
"I've done my part" Said Levitas as he stretched and let out a yawn. He did not actually feel tired, he never did, the yawn was just him showing everyone else that he thought this was a waste of time.

The Hydra couldn't see, so the arrow flew true into it's neck, and the sword rammed hard into it's chest. It just made it through the scales and the beast fell, slamming straight into the ground and having a face full of mud. As it slid through the ground a little, Zero poked his head up. "He's dead? Well that was easy...". He started to push the water off of his chest, and then it began twitching again. "So it's not quite dead?" he said as he moved closer.
As he poked it's face to see if it was dead, it's eye opened and it hissed at him. Zero squealed a little and kicked the beast in the eye, before running back away from it, "Why did I leave my sword behind!" he called out as he ran from the beast pushing itself off of the ground, "Someone just cut of it's head!" he called out as he searched the Battle field for any form of sharp object he could use as a weapon.

Eve saw her comrade flee from the beast. After a quick prayer, she began sprinting towards the beast. With the magnified power in her legs, she launched herself towards the beast, stretching her blade even longer and aiming it at the small patch of bare skin visible from above.
The beast tried to stand up on its four legs but before it could do so, Eve fell to the ground, her Blade cutting the flesh of the beast. When Eve turned around she faced the beast once more, its head dangling from its long neck, a small piece of skin and muscle holding it together.
Eve feels dizzy. 'I need to rest now' she mumbles to herself. Eve retracts her blade back to her blood stream. The skin heals in a few moments but a scar remains on her forearm. "Finish it off while I tend to my hand" Eve cries out to the rest of the group.

Grimm was shocked as the woman who wasn't even sure of her reasons for entering the fray, burst past him like an uncontrollable wind.
Did I convince her to help?
Grimm watched as she launched at the beast lacerating a gaping hole in the hydra, however after her gallant strike of the beast, she seemed to collapse into the mud beneath the crippled creature.
Shit
Grimm focused the shadows to the heels of his feet and used them propel him forward in one great leap. His charcoal grey cloak bellowing in the wind behind him.
His shadow garbed claws sank deep into the beasts side in his descent. His landing was less than graceful, as he went tumbling into the ground after his massive blow to the beast.
The Hydra wobbled, head dangling, blade in chest and now a deep diagonal gash along it's side.
Grimm raised his head slowly and saw the collapsed woman a short distance from him.
"So you decided to help." Grimm stated cheerily, The smile on his face fully drawn.

Blue Wrath was watching the fight and fidgeting "Damn it i can't fight like this with so much rain i'll kill Grimm and Eve with that damn Hydra" he said in an annoyed voice. "i could fry that thing if they weren't in the way" he said as Sparks Flew around him.
Levitas crossed his arms as he watched the carnage play out. With no chance of reward his interest in the battle slowly sunk to minimal and he would only assist further if the battle took a turn for the worse. He did not have any emotional attachment to these people. They were not his friends, they were just colleagues and if one fell it may hurt the success of his "business". He lent his back against a near by tree and tossed a small stone before catching it over and over again.
"If you could wrap this up quickly it would be appreciated," Levitas yelled to the others, "Better yet let's leave and let these worthless mortals deal with they own damn problems".

Eve stood up from the mud and screamed. Her massive legs propelled her body out a few hundred meters away from the skirmish. Sitting down, she began transforming back. The bone in her pinky on her left arm grew back while her sharp fang disappeared. Her legs began twitching as muscles teared and grew back in her left arm. For some reason her pain felt more blunt than earlier.
A few minutes passed, but the pain was still excruciating. Staring at the corpse that was once the hydra, Eve cursed her impulsiveness. "You better check if it's dead" she shouted at Zero. She stood up, examining her new scar proudly, 'At least I have SOMETHING to show for this' she mumbled to herself.

<spoiler=Gypsy guy>Heh, whoops. Forgot that someone had electricity as powers... I'll just stop that rain...
Zero walked over to the Hydra, throwing away a pointy stick he had just picked up, "Aww, and I just found something nice and sharp" he said as he walked over towards it. It twitched again and he jumped back, making a defensive position. "Oookay then..." he said as he again began moving towards it. As it started to twitch again, he didn't move, and as he was about to touch it, 2 head rocketed out of the old hole.
"Ooookaaaay" Zero responded again. The newly formed heads seemed stronger than before, and were snapping with double the annoyance. "My stick!" He called out as he ran to grab the sharp stick he had just found. He picked it back up and ran towards the monster as it started to stand back up. His eyes began to haze over, and his arms and hands began to glow a dark purple. The energy from his hands moved into the log and when he rammed it into the beasts side, it pierced straight through the scales, and he gripped it tightly, "This should stop his head from coming back, kill it now!" he called out as he again ran away from the best as it's head snapped back at him, trying to catch the fleeing prey.
As the Hydra roared, the rain began to trickle down to nothing, until it stopped completely. The lightning and thunder still roared in the sky, but the raining had at least a temporary reprieve.
