Charlie was shocked by this display as she stood there watching Cu walk away from her and Noelle. "Okay... That wasn't what we said, but okay..." Eyes wide as she hoped things would work.

Noelle flinches, watching Lance grab the blade of the sword with his hands and he was changing forms again.. To Lance this was revenge and Lucien deserved what ever was coming his way...

Noticing Cu extending his spear and stopping Lance, while bringing out a gun.. What is Cu doing? That gun isn't going to stop Lucien..

((i forgot is the gae bolg similar to the ones on the final fantasy games like a spear/lance))

Lance snarled at Cu as he placed the weapon to his neck and knocked it away attempting to deliver a kick to his side. "LET ME GO OR ILL KILL YOU!!" Lance was enraged there was nothing to calm him down. "RIGHT NOW YOU HEAR ME CU!!" It was almost as if lance was throwing a temper tantrum.

Lucien stared at the blade he was shocked that it could even be broke. "You Abomination, I will kill you." Lucien's eyes grew snake like as he grew a long dragon like tail and scales covered his body. "and after you i will devour your friends to feed my thirst..."

Cu's eyes widened in pain. That...was sudden. Crouching partially from the pain, he threw his left arm in an arc, in effect tossing the chain over Lance's neck and half-strangling him in an attempt to snap him out of his madness, then sent the spear flying a mere hair's breadth above Lucien's face. As Lance fell forward on him, Cu couldn't quite tell if he had managed to snag the glasses off the man's nose.

Dammit, now's not the time for a temper tantrum.. Noelle thinks to herself, noticing Lucien was changing. Grabbing the handle of the sword, she pulls it out of the sheath but stops seeing what Cu's plan was.. but had he managed to get the sunglasses off of Lucien's eyes? If not, the others needed to get out of here, they were almost unleashing something that Noelle was pretty sure she wouldn't know how to stop..

Lance squirmed and struggled to get loose brute force wasn't going to calm him down only made it worse the Lycan form progressed more he was becoming less lance by the second the Kistune spirit was taking over.."Blood.. i want it... Blood.."

Lucien ducked as he saw the weapons being thrown at him the side of his glasses being chipped "Tsk Tsk, In an area with low lighting i will not need these.. Alas i refuse to take them off and reveal this ugly scar from the bitch.."

Lance heard Lucien call Noelle a bitch and roared the sound loud enough to rupture ear drums he started slowly walking forward dragging cu who was holding on the chains with him.. "DIE"....

...Shit.

He unbuckled the other handgun and pulled as hard as he could on the fox, trying to trip him backwards. If only he could knock him unconscious...But Gae Bolg was far out of reach, behind Lucien, and his daggers' ranged was too short; he'd hit Lance with the blade instead if he tried that.

All he could do was to try to avoid the raging man and shoot at the corner of Lucien's glasses.

(just and fyi ill be leaveing around 7:00 ish to go skate at the skate park cause i need to practice my tail grind and i wil wait for everyone else to catch up)

(*nod nod* and it will make you look more skilled XD))

Seeing that the spear had missed it's target and something had made Lance angry, he was going at Lucien again, this time dragging Cu with him... Lance was going to get himself killed if he didn't get his anger in check and Leo and Cu too.

Noelle knew she had to do something and fast, even if it meant getting Lucien's attention away from Lance. Wrapping her hands around the handle of the sword and taking a deep breath, there was only way to snap Lance out of this.. Keeping the sword in an easy attack position, Noelle lunges at Lucien, swinging the blade at him when she got close enough.

{occ: I don't plan to stay on late tonight anyway. XD}

ooc: Lol I'm trying to catch up.... Trying to find a picture for painting class though.

Charlie jumped slightly as she saw Noelle moving in. "Hey!" Hissing as she pulled out the two knives and balanced them in her hands. "I thought you were his target in the first place." Grumbling as she attempted to chase after her and make sure she didn't get herself killed.

Lucien Parried the attacks to the best of his abilities using the broken remains of his sword. He realized that he was surrounded and out numbered. Although he hated to ask for help it looked like he had no better option. Lucien used his off hand to pull from his pocket a radio transmitter pressing the button he began to talk into it.

"This is Lucien The Assassin, I need back up in coordinates 274, 654 There is an underground fighting tunnel in the alley i again i need back up Coordinates 2...7...4...6...5...4.." Lucien dropped his sword and pulled his dagger out attempting to bring it across Noelle's face.

Lance Struggled for a moment more the Strength of Cu was incredible what was he? two more tails sprouted from the mans back his bodies muscle capacity nearly doubling.. "must kill..." This wasn't good if he went on a rampage again he wouldn't be able to stop the Government from finding out.

Afraid of possible ricochet from a bullet, Cu fished out a knife with two fingers and threw it has hard as he could, trying to knock Lucien's blade from his grasp. Then he stomped down hard on the chain to bring Lance to his knees; it was too risky to let the other mercenary take care of his rival.

Zero thought it strange, or perhaps a happy consequence, that the person who needed back up needed where he had been watching. Knowing the area well he was able to mass a group of troops for reinforcement quickly. After being the first one to receive the message, and found Lucien had once again caused a complete and utter mess. The good news was that his troops had the tunnel and its exits surrounded, the bad was the was unprepared to face the beast that he had been assured was dead. Stepping out of the shadows, Zero let the strange girls blade slice into his forearm. He felt the blade go through his padding and slice into his skin. Quickly he pulled one of his needles from its hiding place and flicked it at the girl, hoping to prick her and subdue her with a sleeping tonic.

“Lucien, we have T-minus 5 minutes before more troops arrive, and in T minus 60 the back exit to this tunnel will be blocked off by cops.” He pushed off the blade drawing his gun. “So help me if the dragon assassin dies from a group of...” He inspected the people that Lucien was attacking. .”Teenagers I will make sure you do not live it down in hell.” Quickly taking his eyes off the group of people he found the darken specks. With a swift forceful kick he let the shades fly back to their master. “Stop being lazy.” From there his attention turned to the rest of the bodies in the room.

((Its loaded with tranq bullets. ))

OOC: Sorry, was trying to focus a bit more on trophy hunting >_<

Leo watching Lance fight Lucien thought he should stay out of their way, but seeing Lucien's reinforcements, he decided to take them on instead. He got into a offensive stance, lightning still pulsing through the sword. Knowing a direct confrontation would be suicide, Leo used another forbidden technique, which would have to be his last if he didn't want to die.

"Right.." he said to himself as he begun weaving hand seals. " Tiger, Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Sheep, Boar, Ox, Horse, Monkey, Tiger, Dog, Tiger, Serpent, Tiger, Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Bird! Water Style... Water Vortex!" A giant water wave erupted from Leo's hand and moved quickly towards the reinforcements and their leader. "And for the finishing touch..." he said as he pulled out another lightning paper tag and threw it into the water, now electricity flowing through it.

Lucien Chuckled at the mans remarks smiling insanely and licking his blade as the sparks rolled down his tongue "Me? Die, you must have me mistaken for another man" Lucien Charged Chu throwing one dagger at him and slashing at him with the other dagger firmly gripped in his hand sparking off with intense lighting "Let the beast off his chain, Pets need some time to roam around or they get fussy"

The Kitsune Beast fell to his knees roaring and growling struggling to get up his entire form had changed into the Kitsune stage. It was back anything that was left of lance's personality was gone. the beast turned as best as he could toward Leo and began slowly crawling on all fours towards him with blood lust in his eye.

Leo exhausted and drained from pulling off two forbidden techniques twice in a row could barely stand. Seeing Lance in his Kitsune form, he grimaced, not in good shape to fight him. "Lance...? I know you're in there somewhere.. It's me Leo... remember?" he said hand over his chest. Backing away from Lance, reinforcements to his left, Lance to his right.

Noelle was able to dodge the dagger Lucien had tried to drag across her face, she had kind of expected that but hadn't thought he would call for backups. Shit..
She was going to back for another swing when some guy she had never seen before practically stepped out in front of her, taking the blade of the sword right through his forearm. In surprise, Noelle let go of the handle and felt the small prick of something hit her skin, whoever was Lucien's little helper had somehow managed to prick her with something.. Wooziness slowly set in, she struggled to keep her eyes open, I can't fall asleep.. not now.. The last thing Noelle could see was Lance turning completely into his other form and stalking Leo and with one last burst before the tonic had finished it's round in her system was, "Charlie, help Leo.." than she was out..

In the small space it seemed unwise that the young man release such powerful amounts of magic but it did not deter the man it seemed. Zero caught the falling girl so that she would not be in danger and rolled out of the way of he vortex let the water lighting break against the walls of the tunnel. The sparks continued to dance along the fallen puddles of water making it harder to move about the tunnel. The cut under his arm burned under the weight of the girl. He quickly radio for more back up as the situation was growing out of hand. “Remember Lucien we need that beast alive.” He watched the magic user try to talk to the beast and shook his head. As much as he needed to disable the lad with so much power, the fox would kill him if he simply let him sleep. Rolling his thumb over the safety latch, Zero aimed his gun at the Kitsune and fired a shot at his chest.

Seeing Noelle go down, Leo realized allies were falling quickly. He needed to think of a plan if they wanted to get out of here in one peace. "Ok.... once more...." he said to himself. He began weaving hand seals. "Serpent, Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Tiger, Dog! Ice style... Permafrost Barrier!" Suddenly glaives of permafrost ice blocked the exits and openings preventing anything from coming out or in. "There.. that oughta hold them back for a while.." *Thinking* (Damn though.. I just halfed my strength by pulling off 3 jutsu when my limit was two.. I'll be useless in battle now..)

Xlcharlie but her lip as she worried about which one to take care of. Turning to glance at Leo then to Lance she sighed and score pulling the pin and tossing the flash bomb as close to Lucien as she could manage in the air. Turning as quickly as she could she pushed Leo down to save his eyes from being temporary blinded. "Hurry and get Noelle out of here, while I attempt to get Lance." Hissing the order to Leo and turning to get the Kitsune.

Leo looked dumbfounded at Charlie. He wanted to argue that there was no way she could take them all on her own. He stood up drawing his sword. "I already sealed all of the exits. It's either us or them. I can take the reinforcement group if you can control Lance." He said back to back facing the reinforcement group.

"If we could just knock Lance out an blin the enemies long enough to get out of here and to a new safe house them we should be safe. Just do what you can with the lowest number of dead bodies possible please." She murres and swung the flame thrower around in front of her. "Shall we play with fire for now?"

"Knock him out.... that's it! Charlie, is there any way you can extract some of the sleeping serum that guy used on Noelle? If so, then I have sure fire plan! But.. playing with fire is very tempting too..." he said indecisively.

Lucien smiled as the flash bomb went off in front of his eyes his high powered glasses were still on it the bomb was simply a shiny light to him. "Oh my my what a wonderful light show" Lucien began walking toward charlie and the rest of them laughing as his dragon like tail swayed back and forth.

"You know i must say quite an plan you had to use that against me to bad you had to use it when my glasses were on" Lucien's wicked smile had returned to his face his long sharp dragon fangs had became of full view you could just see the lust of killing them all in his eye. "Im afraid that i have to keep the wild mutt alive but for the rest of you" He said looking at Noelle holding his last dagger in his hand "I do not have to hold back on you..."

Lucien charged at the unconscious Noelle attempting to stab her straight through the hear "Im afraid my dear Noelle your time has come to wither away and rot in the hell you deserve to go to" He cackled as the blade came close and close to the still body

Meanwhile the kitsune beast was trying his hardest to inch closer to the group only to be stopped by cu. It was at that moment the Kitsune let out a large screech as the bullet fired off by the unknown man pierced through his skin. He had become drowsy now, What in the world was going on? The kitsune's movements became slowed and his eyes closed as the beast crashed into the floor and changed back into Lance's true form. "Noelle.." The words barely came out of his mouth before he passed out.

Leo, seeing Lance revert back to his normal form breathed a short-lived sigh of relief. He saw the man with the sunglasses charge towards Noelle. *Thinking* (Damn... gotta get there first..) He thought to himself quickly running towards Noelle.

Charlie gritted he teeth as she threw herself sideways, glad she was close to Noelle. "Damn..." Attempting to slip into the path of Lucien and his knife all she could think of was covering Noelle's head. She'd only met the girl a couple days ago and already she was feeling protective of her.

Lucien's knife path did not change but to his dismay he stabbed charlie in the rib cage instead of Noelle Causing the electricity form the lightning to travel through all of the near by nervous systems from the wound and spasm the surrounding muscle's. "DAMN IT!" Lucien said as he delivered a kick to charlie's side when she fell

"I almost had her!" Lucien pulled the dagger from charlie's Side and went to stab not at Noelle but Charlie this time "You will pay for this you Bitch"

Lance's body laid there cold and stiff he was in a deep sleep the nightmare had returned the same nightmare he had been having for months.. "Ngh....NOOO!" Lance screamed as he began tossing and turning.. "LEAVE THEM ALONE"!!!

Charlie gasped and moaned in pain at the shock of blow. Falling she struggled hard and could barely control her arms as she for Ed herself to kneel on the ground. "Heh.... Foolish demon...." Smirking as she pulled on the trigger of the flame thrower and a stream of blue and yellow fire surged forth from its muzzle.

"What?!? "Lucien attempted to jump back but it was to late the flames caught part of his glasses and his leg. The melting plastic and the heated metal began to heat up and burn his face and his leg began to char "AHHHH" He fell to the floor tossing his glasses of revealing the scar across his eye. He took the knife he had and cut off the burning side of his jeans and stood up he was pissed. "You will pay for that you foul Bitch!"

Charlie chuckled, but it had a wet sound to it as she coughed. "Thank you for doing what I needed you to do." Smiling weakly as she held up a hand with two flash bombs in it and tossed one with the pin already pulled. She closed her eyes and turned as quickly as her injury would allow to keep from blinding herself as it went off. "Leo now!!"

As the flare dimmed she caught sight of the fact that they had gotten away with Lance. "Damn... Failed..." She hissed and held her sides. "Mnngh....."

Slowly, the world begin to come back to Noelle.

"Oh," she moans, waking up to what appeared to be a huge headache and resting a hand against the tunnel floor, she rubs her now splitting head before glancing up to see Charlie bleeding from her side and.. Lance.. where's Lance..
Standing up, groaning from the spurts of pain still in her head, she makes her way to Charlie to try and stop the bleeding, "What happened? And where's Lance?"

Lance awakens to his arms and legs bound in chains his weapons gone. He was sitting in chair in a cold dark room there was no one around although he could hear talking through the walls. Where was he? "Hello? Whats going on here?" He yelled desperately trying to get someones attention. He was worried about everyone back at charlies..

Lucien sat outside of the cell that with held Lance frowning looking up at Zero. "Can i kill him yet? this is such a drag"At this point his form was back to normal and he had gotten a new pair of glasses and weapons. "that was a lame fight..you should have just let me kill the mutt first." He was grumbling and in a bad mood his face was hurting from the burn mark Charlie had created.

Charlie groaned softly and raised her eyes to meet Noelle's with a sad look. "I'm sorry... I did what I could but I couldn't protect Lance from him... They took him." Groaning as her side started to ache lightly. "We... W-w-we need to go after them and find Lance before they hurt him more." Grumbling as she struggled to try and stand up.

Ooc: Sorry I took so long guys.... Having a personal issue dealt with. -screams and rips hair out- Ahhhh...l need to blow something up. *goes in search of fireworks*

Noelle doesn't wait for Charlie to stand up before she's grabbing the sword from where the other dude had dropped it, the blood stains long since dried and not waiting for anyone else, her anger blocking any form of sense out of her mind, dashing out of the only tunnel that is not blocked with ice.

All that was on her mind was finding Lance before Lucien did anything to hurt him and upon reaching the plaza, oh what a sight she must make. Holding a blood stained sword and a crazy look in her eyes, that made the citizens flee the minute they saw her. But not the guards, oh how the idiots came toward her, intent of stopping her no doubt.

A slight smirk crosses Noelle's lips, this was going to be fun, well for her it was, not for the guards but oh well, they shouldn't of joined up with the government, should they? Waiting till the guards got close enough to her, Noelle moves out of the way and swings the blade of the sword, catching a guard and sending blood and guts spilling out in the street. Same with the next ones who were stupid enough to follow the leader in front of them but oh, she was wasn't going to kill all of them, for one of these poor saps, they would get a shot at living..

Holding the blade to the last remaining guard's throat, her eyes cold, "If you don't want to end up like your buddies back there," she jerks her thumb to the remains of the other soldiers, "You'll go to Lucien and tell him to get his ass here. He has someone very special to me and I'm not fucking around anymore."

She moves the blade away from the guard's throat and watches with a cruel smile as the poor bloke scrambles to his feet and runs off to deliver her little message before looking around at the scene of destruction around her. Oh, I needed that.

He looked down at the hog tied man and realized it was the one that lied to him. “No Lucien, we do not needlessly kill things before finding out how they work. We have plans.” He turned away to a window smirking a little “Who knows you might have a partner soon. Besides I am more worried about their magic user. 3 major attacks and his magic did not dwindle we must find out the source of his power as well.” He moved finding an IV with a sedative and stuck it in the mans arm. “Besides I am sedating him, he shouldn't put up much of a fight, if any thing we can use him as bait for his friends.”

Charlie groaned softly as she coughed hard, standing now at the mouth of the tunnel. In the time that it had taken her to basically drag herself out of the tunnel and up to the mouth that Noelle had run out. "Crap... N-n-noe-elle....*coughing*" Spitting on the ground she saw a small amount of blood mixed in and paid no attention to it as Ted appeared at her side. "We gotta stop her or she'll put herself in a stupid and dangerous place."

Ted nodded lightly as he let a knife handle slip from his sleeve down into his hand. "Alright Charlie." Murmuring as he hurried across the short distance the other girl. "Noelle...?"
