Rune Seaker 3: Rise to Kings

[Joa-Boo]

"Right, that was unfortunate but what do you have in mind. My army stays here in the Temple of Creation. If you where one of my heroes you would never see the light of day and hopefully never have to raise your sword." Joa Boo said while breathing large and deep. His whole body seemed to be in motion as he lifted off of the ground, while meditating things around him became more stable and even the air seemed to freeze up.

"If you would like to work under Raven's orders I could have you recruited and move to the castle in Northern Thunder Plains. You’re almost sure to find a fight once we locate the Omega Alliance. I think Raven might know something he's not telling me about where they are hiding."

Zaught was quick enough to ract and fenced your side kcik by blocking it with the long blunt end of the spear and then forward spun the blade around himslef and to your side. He was stepping to the left and circleing you the whole time to evade any brakes you could have at attacking back while Zaught spun his spear.

Using his unnatural strength Salin knocked the attack at his side away by slamming it up and over his body. "s**t your good, really good. How the hell you only a grunt?" Salin praised as he rolled out of Zaught's circle and grabbed his spear and came up into a courched preadator stance and let out a feral growl.

Salin was getting into the fight, he felt aderline and excitement flow through his body as he growled. He had felt happy since getting on the ship but not excitement; no this was a different type of feeling than the one he felt around Serena. This feeling was a more primal, more barbaric rage of excitement. He felt alive and home in the courched stance watching his dark elf prey.

Zaught moved to circle him yet again but this time Salin was in position to circle him as well. Zaught's stance was very different than Salin's preadator stance but still was based on being close to the ground. The style that Zaught used was unfamiliar to Salin and peeked his interested in this sparring match, he could possibly actually warm something from this match.

Zaught didn't let Salin get the next move and lunged forward barring his teeth at Salin as he brought his spear tip down in arc like he was slashing a sword at Salin. The blow took Salin across his upper left arm, blood off the tip of Zaught's spear flicked off and onto Salin's chin.

Salin reeled his head back and grinned as he brought knee up into Zaught's stomach. The blow force Zaught to step back and end his attck, but did no other real damage.

"Seems I scored a point my friend," Zaught said in a unkown accent to Salin. (It is Jamaican man)

"Don't worry I will be a mile a head of you in a second." Salin said smiling as both fighters returned to their stances.

((I know a bit of puppet mastery but I figured it was only a spar and that it seems Zaught could end up in my party so I decided to set up some traits for him))

((No man, I couldn't have done what you did any better. I actually like the way you handled him.))

"The truth is Salin, I will only be a grunt for the first mission, just like yourself. Just because the Dark Hand says I am a grunt doesn't mean I am. Same goes for you. You assume I am a grunt before you even fight, I knew you weren't because of your name. Now you know mine." Zaught said with an ecstatic grin. He was pleased with his skill and praise from his opponent. The knee to his chest hurt a little more then he wanted and staggered him backward against the edge of the mat, but was ready to continue their match as he began circling.

"I don't know what you have planned but just remember we are only sparing. I would save any big energy for the battles tomorrow." Zaught gave a little laugh and lunged with the spear but dropped it half way through and instead lifted his back leg forward into a side kick. The attack was quick but would give him little defense because he had to use most of his wait. His attack would leave him with very little balance to hold any defense for a block.

((Anything more you would like to do with this fight....I'm good for moving on))

"You forget my good friend that our plan is to not destroy this world of life through vilence but to cleanse it and make it perfect. Our plan is to rise above our oppresors and rule oursleves. You are discriminated as bad people simply because you do not look like the ones in charge. I seek to end that and stop any one who gets in our way." Joa Boo said with wisdom pooring through him. The meditaion cleared his mind and feelings and only helped him plan for action. There was some large enimies to be fought and at the moment they seemed invonerable.

"I have an idea. You go to Raven, tell him I sent you personaly as my agent. Ask him what he knows, everything he knows and get you as close to the Omega Aliance as he can. I can't give you any men for your use but what ever speacil units Raven can afford will be your only help." Joa Boo commanded. His eyes opened, big and bright at the end of his words and followed all the way over to you until there was eye contact made.

"Do not get caught Ricky, Do not let them take your freedom as a person. You die before they pull you down. Do Not Get Caught."

Joa Boo's words where enfisised by his deep eyes and once he was finsihed he went back into meditaion. he was out like he was in a coma. crying

Salin smiled seeing the opening and grabbed his ground leg and tripped him sending him flying to the ground. Salin put his spear to Zaught's throat, "You are right Zaught we should save our engry. Oh and that move needs to be twice as fast if you mean to use it against a vampire. Way to vunerable!" Salin laughed and lifted his spear. He put out his hand and help Zaught up.....

((okay no clue where we are going now))

The spar ended and the two tiered warriors headed back towards their bunker where they would stay until early the next morning.
It wasn't much of a place at all except for simple bunk beads with chests for personal belongings, other then that the only use for such a cheap building is to sleep in.

Morning came with yet another cold blizzard. For some weird reason it seemed to have less power in the Dark Hand camp. It was cold and hard to see but just like they where told, everyone pilled out of the bunkers and lined for role call. This unneeded part of the long morning consisted of simply having everyone painfully get into a long line and then the Captain walks down the line. Once he reaches the end he yells out, "Everyone’s here....there better be one less tomorrow."

Imputes along with his personal escort of samurai bouncing around in their full decorated armor flipped into the morning scene from atop the walls and addressed the Captain with a dark glare. He then proceeded to then center and firmly demanded the attention of everyone in the field.

"Better be ready men. This is not some simple mission against the Omega Alliance, it is much harder and will have the respect of your will or if not, your life. One thing is certain and that’s we have a rouge group of Dark Hand members threatening to reveal everything about the Dark Hand. We can't allow this on any level. Exhibit A is a frost giant known as Fever. He was once one of Joa Boo's great generals but turned his back on our great lord and hides out here in the mountain, he is the source of blizzards. Exhibit B is Celia, a hot headed, hot body, queen ant of the Collective. She signed an agreement stating that the Dark Hand would benefit from her services as an alli but she still seems to resist with her massive army of ant lions." Impetus said all of this as he began to stroll about the field. He made eye contact with about everyone and made sure to give a cold look of importance with each.  

[Van Dossel]

(really short but still no direction to go)

Salin smiled, like he told Zaught he knew the collective would die soon. Though he did not know they were allies of the Dark Hand to begin with. As Impetus finished his speech Salin wondered how this would be harder the figthing OA troops? These were mindless ant men, and Salin had fought against the elites of the OA before.

"Whats that... private....what did you just think." Impetus said apraoching you with alarming speed. He was over you in a few seconds. His body pushing yours down beneath him as if being near yo made him odly grow.

"Mindles yes, but that only means they have nothing to lose. They don't care how it gets down but are the epitomy of effecientness. They will not care about you, themselves or anyone else. Tey simply will kill." Impetus said with a loud shout. He started up on his rounds agaun, looking at each and eevery man. there where only 120 of them and by tomarrow, much less.

Time went by slowly as everyman was apointed a group and then pushed into the caves that dug deep into the mountain. Your group consisted up Zaught and three others who have yet to be introduced. Your group went in from the west and where to climb as far as they could. the goal was to reach the Queens nest.

The halls of the caves where deep and dirty. Bodies of the men before laid stilland lifless as they clutteree up the path. It began to get darker and all that could be seen in the distance was glowing eyes.

Salin and Zaught had point of the five man strike team, both in croucht ed stances edging forward. Every nook and cranny was scanned to see if the enemy had laid traps for them. So far nonthing but glowing eyes in hte distance.

Suddenly a screech was heard in the distance and a group of the collectives warriors came charging at the strike team. Salin smiled and looked at Zaught, "You ready for this?"

Zaught nodded as they neared.

Thunderclaps rolled over the plains, darkness interuppted in the sky periodicially by bolts of electricity. Violent lightning strikes never ending, interrupted only by the many huge towers scattered across the flat, bleak plains. Towers, and a dark castle fortress, now held by the Dark Hand.

Two sandled feet plodded calmly across the wastes, katana at his waist, head down. Serph Dart, Samurai from the deep forests of Baji. Two shades on patrol saw him far before he saw them. They snuck closer, using the darkness as cover, easy for vampires such as themselves. They smelled his human blood mixed with elven and their fangs dripped with saliva.

A rare meal indeed.

They both dashed forward, but the air tensed instantly, Serph's hand dropping to his katana, Ogre. The blade was drawn in a flash, cutting deep into the chest of the first shade. The other one spun to the side nimbly, slashing at Serph's head, but the half-elf dropped lower, spinning in a deft motion. Blade met legs as the now leg-less vampire fell to the dusty ground, kicking up a cloud of smog in the already dank Thunder Plains air. The first shade was bleeding profusly from his chest, and Serph waited for nary a moment before removing his head.

The vampire fell into the dirt. The samurai flung his blade back and forth, blood falling off the now-clean blade. It was deposited back into it's sheath with a clink. Serph stopped for a moment, took a drink from the small water canteen on his right hip. He wiped his mouth dry and continued onward, toward the caverns he knew Sogue was inhabiting.

((No it's cool, we can play with it. Just remeber the more you give me the more I can give back. so just add alot of detail and go into depth so I can make up a good and interesting stroy. Look at Souge's newest post for a good example, I can do alot with that.))

"I'm ready for anything." Zaught said as the Collective ant lions met the small group with blades clashing. Zaught wielded a mace in one hand and a large shield in the other for point defense. The first out of many collective attacking was thrown into the air after Zaught tackled it with his shield and threw him over head as he spun low to deliver a blow with his mace against the side of the next on coming ant lion.

The three men with the two of you sprinted forward to join the fight and give their efforts. The odds where 2 to 1 but they where only simple Collective brawlers, nothing with any special abilities.

The 6th guy with you was a specialist from Impetus's group. He was a negotiator who knew the tunnels, and had seen allot of death in them. He didn't engage in any fighting at all and actually you where appointed to protect him as the Collective mindless ant lions came and beat the heck out of all of you. He was not to get touched. He called himself Tooge and was the kind of guy that even if he was told he should join in the fighting, he wouldn’t know how. He was useful however when it came to talking and navigating.

“Just up here now, we will make a left and head up the higher ridge. They are crawling on the floor level with all of their minerals and young. You guys do have long range weapons right? There are a few little surprises the Collective like to throw at us sometimes and it is always good to have someone handy with a gun or bow.” Tooge said with his noble shrilly voice.
