"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...?"
