We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

Kuki was quiet for a moment, then said,

"I'm worried about what will happen after this. If they capture, and especially if they kill the woman, more like her will almost certainly come. From how she talked, I don't think this is something that'll stop after this."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Candace backed away from the fallen soldier, looking to the last scrambling one. "I'd prefer not to fight!" Candace yelled to the man, walking towards Tresh slowly.

 

[Slenn]

"Most certainly. It won't matter which side will win. But if there's something out of our power, there's no point in wasting energy by worrying about it." She crossed her arms.

The shieldless soldier tried to dodge Dalahar's shot, but was not able to. He laid still after being hit.

The soldiers behind the corner nodded to Candace, and held his sword down, signaling he would not fight if she would not.

The newly resurrected soldier tried to hide behind a lamppost after getting his shield and sword.

The angel began chanting again. White did, too.

 

[Vakra jal]

"We must fight."
Dalahar proclaimed, ready to fire again at the recover d soldier. "If I throw you can you gut the ***** in the air, she's sustaining them"

"I disagree. They're after Anik first and foremost, right? So this will affect us, too. Bad idea to then just wait and see what happens"

, Kuki responded.

"But... one thing at a time... , let's get through this first."

Saying this, Kuki was quiet for a moment, looking towards the window.

"Do you think you could climb down somewhere?"

 

[Slenn]

"Ummm...." She looked down. "It's only the second floor, right? I can certainly break our fall with a couple of fusion bursts. I know from my training back at school that there should be enough recoil from the blast." She said.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=663399]"Who are they attempting to take? And, do you know why?"[/color] Viyang asked, as she began casting her barrier spell, to create magical cover the others could hide behind if need be.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Ignore

 

[Vakra jal]

"If we can take out the sky borne one we can win this fight" he proclaimed defiantly

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Dalahar, stop." Candace told him, heading over to the disarmed soldier. "I heard some of what was said. I don't want any more bloodshed. I'm willing to stop fighting if they are."

 

[Vakra jal]

"The battle is not yet won." He braced his Volkite charger, ready to fire again. He could hopefully blast the soldiers away and then focus on the Angel. "This is what I live for! The exaltation of battle! Victory or death!" The fighting was perfect for Dalahar, he could focus on it fully and not worry about anything else, as he was designed. "Bah!" He blurted, frustrated by Candace and her willingness to surrender. "Viyang, you can take the flying one, I'll break these" he didn't have much time. His soul was in agony as Kyrys writhed and screeched within him. It would drive an astartes mad, once all of his gene forged endurance and determination was spent. "Are you with me?"

"You can do that?"

Kuki asked, very much surprised.

"I guess that's what you meant when you said your people are their own power sources... "

, they added, then shook their head.

"But, this might work, yes. Then now, we have a plan in case things go bad. Good... , good."

 

[Slenn]

"Yes, I most certainly can. I am still an initiate, and ability just surfaced for me. But it should be enough."

She then overheard some of the stuff that was going on from far away.

"It sounds like Dalahar is planning to take down the flying soldier."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Viyang glanced from Dalahar to Candace, then moved into a more relaxed pose, her spear vanishing in a cloud of sparks. [color=663399]"Stand down!"[/color] she yelled, addressing Dalahar just as much as White and her soldiers.

 

[Vakra jal]

"What?! Stand down?!" Exhausted he sank to one knee with a thud, his superhuman body vulnerable due to his connection to the daemon. "Damn it all" he muttered.

"If you bring me Anik, I will stop fighting." White called.

 

[Kirke]

"That's not happening. But you've got a far better chance of surviving if you surrender." - Ella shouted up at White, before glancing at Viyang to judge her reaction. At the same time, she got confirmation that the ETR squad was in the air, and inbound in a few minutes.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=663399]"What will happen if we do give you Anik?"[/color] Viyang asked. [color=663399]"Will you just kill her on the spot?"[/color]

 

[Silence]

"That's not happening either!" White called back to Ella. She finished her chant, and white energy surrounded her.
"No. I will take her back to my world, where she awaits trial. I never kill without reason." she called to Viyang.

She prepared to dive down on Ella, while the two soldiers and the angel watched, prepared to engage whoever made the next fighting move.
