RPG War in the Shadows

[Zen]

(Sorry for not posting so long.)


"It seems we have an illegal congregation here." Leon said with a smile, drawing his weapon. Everyone looked over at him as he walked over to the middle of the fight. Every man and vampire watch him closely.

"Leon, why are you here?" Warrington asked with disgust.

"Havn't you heard, I work for the good guys now." HE said with a smirk.

"Good guys?!?! Siding with these.....Filthy Man-Leeches are not the good guys!" Warrington yelled in anger and hatred.

"No need to be a pissy little girl Warrington. I would like to remove my self from your acquaintance as fast as possible. So, please, leave before I am forced to react in a violent manner."

"Hah! You will die, Traitor!" Warrington yelled while charging at Leon. As he ran, Leon drew his duel MAgnums and fired at Warrington's knee caps. He fired and the shot rang out loud, WArrington flew forward and front flipped as he knee's wounds quickly regenerated.

[color=indigo]In the midst of this excitment, Reaper spun around and chopped Le'aoni's arm, causing her to drop her gun. Reaper then drop kicked Le'aoni in the chin, she fell back and Reaper delivered a kick into the stomach and the vampire flew through the air and slammed into the brick wall. She slid down and crumpled onto the ground.

Before Brendan even knew the two were ingaged in fighting, Reaper snuck up behind him and cracked him in the back of the neck with the butt of her sword's handle. He fell to the ground unconcious. Father Amiel brought his staff down onto Reaper, but she was too fast and gripped the staff and jerked it out of his hands. She then took the staff by two hands and busted it in half with her knee. She unsheathed a dagger and brought it up to his neck, but he clutched her wrist and smashed it against his knee.

She winced a little then smiled as the broken bone mended together. Father went to stab her but she had already stuck him in the thigh, sendin him to the ground clasping the dagger that Reaper still had ahold of. A vicious smile came across her face as she twisted the dagger, causing an untolerable pain throughout his body.

Reaper unsheathed her titanium katana and raised her arm, she was about to bring it down when Hyde took her around the waist and lept into the air.

"Uhhh-Hyde?!" Reaper was furious and confused.[i]Again, he saves me? What is going on with his mind? [/i][/color]

[Kwai]

[i] Warrington was no fool. With lightning rapidity, he threw a vial at the fleeing figures. The vial narrowly missed hitting a wall nearby, and generated a strange gas which spread quickly through the vicinity, engulfing the two figures. Warrington threw one of his red vials back at Father Amiel, who took it gratefully and gulped it down. Warrington walked towards the fog. He found Reaper and Hyde, not completely paralyzed but slowed by the gas. Warrington's face was contorted into that of fury, as his claws came sliding out, clicking on accompanied with the ominous crack of knuckles.

"So, hybrid. Dare strike us?" whispered Warrington in a deadly voice.

Behind Warrington, a figure loomed up, holding the remainders of his staff. Father Amiel, his wounds regenerated by the potion, his face, too, set in anger and hate. The inscriptions written on his staff glowed faintly, and Father Amiel brought the two parts together. The two broken parts entangled together, as the large topaz glowed. The staff reformed, and Father Amiel took out a large shield from under his cloak. Electricity danced around him, around his shield, around his staff, charging up to strike.

A two on two....[/i]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde stared ahead at the two in front of him and Reaper. Father Amiel and Warrington. He smiled, but it faded quickly. He knew he must be serious, or everything would fall. Hyde saw a blur and felt a pain across his face, Warrigton re-appeared in front of them as if nothin had happened. Hyde smirked as the wounds began to heal.

"You see, Anti-Slayer! I am quick! Quick enough to strike you dead" Warrington smiled and rubbed at his wrists, taunting Hyde "Try me"

Hyde would try Warrington, he would try him...To death. Warrington and Hyde jumped foward. Hyde with his Spear foward and Warrington, just jumped foward. There was loud war-cries as the two clashed. Hyde spun against Warrington and faced his back. He brought the pole of his spear down on Warringtons back, he let out a loud grunt as he fell to the ground. Hyde jumped backwards and waited for the next move. Warrington slowly stood up and wiped at his lip, blood trickled down his lip. Warrington had smashed his face against the concrete when he hit, Hyde guessed. Warrington cracked his neck and smiled.

"And I can kill you in the blink of an eye!" Hyde said, starting his usual laugh "And I will do so!"

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]

As Hyde drew back to stab Warrington in the back of the head, there was a strange grinding sound, light and barely heard. Hyde caught ear of this, he turned and looked out hte corner of his eye, but suddenly, out of nowhere, a large silver crucifix was thrown stragiht threw Hyde who's eyes widened. He could not dodge and the blade impaled him threw the back, also going threw Warrington, who yelled in unison with Hyde in pain.

Hyde took the crucifix and ripped it out of his and Warrington's back and looked back into the cloud of gas wear the Crucifix had come from, but as soon as he turned, the crucifix was ripped from his hands and was brought back into the smoey cloud bya a chain. As the gas settled, there stood a dark figure.

"I think your forgetting about someone." a deep, smooth voice said. There stood Leon, holding the bloody crucifix.

Hyde tunred around, snarling in anger, and Warrington too turned around, but for a different reason. "You will die, Slayer! You never interupt my killinnnggagaaahh!" Hyde couldn't finish his sentence because Warrington grabbed him by the thoat with both hands, squeezing down hard on his adam's apple and throat.

"Say good night!" Warrignton growled....

[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Annie]

[color=indigo]

"Say goodnight!" Warrington laughed, then stopped short by a side kick to the face.

It was Reaper, she stood enraged. Warrington stumbled back and in a fit of rage he charged at Reaper. She lept into the air to avoid his claws. He jumped after her and swatted at her.

"Really Warrington," Reaper sounded disappointed. She took out her brass knuckles, that were attatched by a strangle wire.

She started to twirl it above her head an sent a knuckle flying into Warrington's nose. He fell to the ground grabbing his face. Reaper waisted no time and landed on top of his back, wrapping the wire around his neck and tugged.

"Whaa-" she was jerked off of Warrington by Leon. [/color]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde grunted and held his stomach, the wound beginning to to close up. He turned ont he ball of his foot and sprinted towards Leon who was holding Reaper. He smiled and jumped at Leon, head first. He landed into Leons back, a loud pop was heard as Leon let Reaper go, and was sent skidding across the pavement. Father Amiel chanted a few words and soon Hyde was engulfed in lightning. The charge ran through him, down to his very core. Father Amiel stopped long enough to see Hydes pain and suffering.

"I'll...Ugh..Kill..You!" Hyde yelled as he dashed towards Father Amiel picking his spear up along the way "DIE!"

Father Amiel hardly had time to react as Hyde smashed the pole of his spear into the side of his face, Father Amiel fell to his knees, grasping his face, putting up his shield for any further attacks. Hyde simply laughed and kicked the shield and Father Amiel away. Hyde turned around quickly and ran back towards Reaper, who was back at strangling Warrington, and Leon who was trying to get up, but strained because of the blow to the back. Hyde walked over to Leon and laughed. He spun his spear around and brought it down into Leons back, Hyde twisted it and pulled at it. The wound only got bigger and bloodier. Leon let out a loud scream as the intense pain gripped at his back. Warrington soon gave of the struggle as Reaper twisted at the string. Hyde walked over to Reaper and tugged at her shirt. She only fought Hydes grasp, she wanted to finish Warrington off. Hyde grabbed Reaper by her waist.

"Lets go Reaper" Hyde un-wrapped the string from Warringtons neck and leapt into the air with Reaper "This is not the time or place for this fight.."

There was no smile on Hydes face, there was no laughter. Hyde knew this was no game.

[Annie]

[color=indigo]"Hyde, what's going on here? Why did they set a trap for you?" Reaper held on around his neck.

"The trap wasn't just for me. I was the first unlucky hybrid to show up,"Hyde's voice was dead serious,"There is a conspiracy boiling between the Lowendove Brotherhood and the GVA. It's against us hybrids. We would surely have been killed or captured if we had stayed any longer."

Reaper looked over his shoulder and saw Leon struggling to get up. A swell of pity filled her icy heart. His wound was horrible, she felt so bad to leave him laying there helpless.

Hyde felt it,"What is that?"

"What is what?" Reaper snapped back into reality.

"That feeling from your soul. You have feelings for that mortal? Why? All he wants to do is kill us..me..you," Hydes voice lowered to a whisper.

They went back to Reaper's loft. He sat down on a tall back chair, one of its back legs was missing so when Hyde sat down, the chair tipped back. He stood up furious and glared at Reaper who laughed.

"Shut your pie hole!" he kicked up the chair and threw it at her.

"Hyde!!" she only laughed more hysterically and blocked the chair and threw back at him.

He caught it and set it down, eyeing Reaper curiously. She tensed up and leaned against the wall. Hyde smiled and ran at her. She closed her eyes, expecting Hyde to tackle her through the wall. But Hyde only slammed his hands against the wall, one on either side of her body. He leaned in towards Reaper.

"Hyde, what are you doing? Every time you have the opportunity to kill me, you never do. Why is that?"Reaper smirked and ran her hand up his chest, the other up the back of his neck to play with his hair.[/color]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde stood tall and put a hand to his mouth, in a fist. His cheecks went red, kind of strange for a killing machine.
He cleared his throat and turned around. He walked to the chair that has played the nasty joke on him and kicked it aside. He sat where it was and leaned against the wall.

"I dont know...Maybe I cant kill the ones I care for.." Hyde said low.

Reaper stared at Hyde and stood, she smiled and walked over to him. She sat down next to him and placed her head on his shoulder, he twirled her finger around on Hydes chest.

"Aww...Does the big scary Hyde actually have feelings?" Reaper mocked and poked at Hyde.
Hyde grunted and shrugged. He looked around and sighed.

"I dont know...Maybe I'm sick..I dont know, maybe I wasn't created just for the thrill of killing. Of course I was...No...I couldn't have been." Hyde looked down and let out a ldeep breath "I know I was created to kill the Human Slayers, but..."

Hyde suddenly stood up and beat on his chest with his right fist.
"No! I am Hyde! Anti-Slayer Product #1! The best of the best, The most evil thing to grace the face of this measly city!...I cant...I shouldn't be feeling what I am feeling.."

Hyde turned and walked out of the room and down the spiral stairs, leaving Reaper behind, probably confused to no end. [I]Hyde...What is wrong with you?![/I]

[The (Sic) Shape]

Slash remained perfectly still near a door to a building. He had been watching the fight between Reaper, Hyde, the Lowendove Brotherhood, the GVA and the slayer he had encountered before. He planned to attack when Hyde and Reaper needed it but they didnt need his help this time.

He snapped from his thoughts as the door opened, Hyde walking out with a confused look on his face.

Hyde: What do you want?

Slash:...Nothing. It's just that I wanted to make sure that you were alright.

Hyde: Why wouldnt I be alright?

Slash: The look on your face is one thing.

Hyde: Just leave me alone!

Hyde grabbed him by his trench coat and lifted him into the air. Slash remained calm, letting out a small laugh.

Slash: You know I'm not afraid of you. You won't kill me. You won't kill your own kind. That's why you can't kill Reaper, and why she won't kill you. None of us won't kill our own kind. Or maybe you have feelings for her?

Hyde: SHUT UP!

He threw Slash to the ground. He just laughed. Hyde growled in anger and ran off. He got up, and walked down the street.

Slash: hm. Makes me think about her...

He pulled out a crucifix that was hidden under his vest and held it in his hand, and stood still, just staring at it.

Might as well post Renaldo's Bio.

Name: Father Renaldo Amiel
Age: 43
Race: Human

Weapons:

Storm Spire Divine Staff ? A staff that is imbued with an enchantment to channel electric particles from the air, and store the energy within it. The stored energy can be unleashed as pure energy itself, or also as electricity. The staff is made out of a 1000 year old Red Wood Oak, with a huge Topaz jewel entangled by the staff.

Storm Shield Tower Shield ? A huge shield that can reflect any elemental attack cast against it. The shield is ethereal, thus making it indestructible by any conventional means. The shield has an enchantment upon it that prevents anyone except its owner to wield it. Should anyone dare to use this shield, a bolt of lightning cast from the heavens shall strike him down.

Skills:

Chain Lightning ? By channeling a sufficient amount of energy into his staff, Renaldo can cast a devastating lightning attack which jumps from opponent to opponent until it wears itself out. Should it be cast against a single target, the lightning will paralyze him for a while, making his movements limited and clumsy. The damage of this attack depends upon the weather, and the length of time spent channeling energy into the staff.

Static Armor ? A protective armor composed of dancing electricity is cast around Renaldo, making him nearly invulnerable to any non-magic attacks. The armor needs to draw energy constantly from the staff, so the armor, at most, can last 2 minutes. Should an enemy strike Renaldo with this armor in effect, a bolt of lightning shall launch back automatically towards the enemy.

Teleport ? By using a sudden burst of electric particles, Renaldo creates a rift in the dimensions, transporting him instantly to another location nearby. This skill is extremely hard to use, especially because the rifts are usually created randomly. However, it is a very useful spell in getting out of sticky situations.

Judgement Day ? This requires the staff to be charged to its maximum output, and also a great amount of mana from the caster himself. Renaldo creates a pure ball of energy with the entirety of energy in his staff, and fires it up directly towards the sky. This energy ball creates a rift in the dimensions and summons a huge inter-dimensional storm cloud. The super-charged particles within the cloud are incredibly vicious, and will tear down from the heavens to strike down any and all objects, even tearing apart the ground in its berserk state. The rift in the dimensions lasts for a period of 4~5 minutes, but none survived the first minute since the spell was cast. Renaldo himself is immune to electricity, and thus remains unharmed during this awesome spell.

Appearance: A tall, masculine body, Black hair with a streak of white in the middle, wears a black travelers cloak, and has a friendly, cheerful face.

Personality: Friendly, Cheerful, Encouraging, Forgiving, and Dignified.

Bio: Grown in a Strict Catholic household, Renaldo?s greatest ambition was to become a Father in the Catholic Church. His dreams were granted, but his innocent eyes were soon marred by the corruption in the Vatican. He prayed for 10 days straight, hoping to find an answer from the Lord. His revelation came to him on the last day, when he saw a giant tree struck by lightning, but instead of burning down, be charged with energy so great and divine. Renaldo searched and searched for this tree until he came upon the tree he saw in his vision. A tree branch suddenly broke off when Renaldo arrived, the same branch that later became his staff. And upon the branch a small inscription was written, bearing the phrase ?In the name of God....? exactly what was written after this is unclear, but Renaldo took this message to heart, and since then, has cut all his affiliations with the ?corrupt? church, and has become a solitary wandering paladin monk, determined to root out all corruption from Christianity, and also as a missionary to those not blessed by the light of Christ. His staff was at first used simply for travelling, but its true nature was brought to light when Renaldo was attacked by a pack of bandits. The staff unleashed a fury of lightning from the sky, striking the bandits down. With this discovery, Renaldo honed his skills with the staff, and his skills, combined with his religious zeal, makes him a formidable warrior indeed.

[i] Brendan slowly stood up, his form slender and lithe, deadly calm prevading over the entire scene. He saw the bloodied body of Warrington, of the GVA agents, and the unconscious body of Father Amiel. It took a while for the image to sink in, and the moment of comprehension was quite obvious... the air suddenly chilled, and the Warp Steel suddenly erupted into a huge spear, much like Hyde's. Brendan stretched his hands out at his weapon, and the steel obliged, handing him the red vial. He walked over to Warrington, and with shaking hands, opened the stopper and poured the liquid down his throat. He listened for any signs of life, and heard soft breathing. Relieved, he looked towards Father Amiel, who was unconscious but still alive. Good enough.

He snapped his fingers, and his Warp Steel engulfed him and his two comrades, disappearing into the depths of the alley, leaving the GVA agents spawled in the alleyway. A thin, mechanical whisper was carried through the winds, even worse than the chilling silence which dominated the entire area.

"Now its war..." [/i]

[Avalon]

OOC: Well this is a [i]nice[/i] turn of events...Le'aoni's unconcsious. I guess it's finally time to wake up...

"What happened?" a female voice asked, groaning as she sat up. Brushing off the snow that clung to her dress. She stood slowly, staring at the brick wall that was in front of her. She shook her head, knocking some of the snow out. Groaning aloud, she stretched, surpressing a howl for the pain she felt.

"What in the--" she began, remembering what happened. She growled, her eyes narrowing into slits. She balled her hands into fists, feeling rage.

"That lowlife hybrid *****!" she screamed, grabbing her coat and putting it on. She threw her bag over her shoulder harshly, gritting her teeth in anger. As she ran, she only thought of one thing:

[i]They will pay.[/i]

[Annie]

[color=indigo]Reaper stared at the door for about five minutes before she decided to get up from where she sat. [i]Hyde..'Mabye I can't kill the ones I care for...' Did he actually say that?[/i]

"Nah, forget about it Reaper. What are you thinking! Hyde killed your family! He's responsible for your baby sister!!"she yelled at her self. In rage she stabbed herself in the leg.

"Oww.*sighs* That felt better..I feel terrible. Leon..Is he okay? Do I still want to go to him about my problem? Hyde will never forgive me if I do. He really would kill me..Who can I talk to?!" Reaper fell to her hands and knees.

"Where do I go now?"[/color]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde walked down the sidewalk, tapping the pole of this spear on his shoulder. He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. He looked down an Alley way and saw a group of men, they were beating another man up. He slowly walked towards them. He saw the man getting beat up was naked and very young, a teenager. Hyde walked to the first of the men and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, picking him. The man flailed but was futile as Hyde shoved him into the ground. The other men turned to Hyde and started coming at him. He drove his spear into the neck of the guy to his close right, a gurgle came from the guy as he died out. A fist came towards Hyde, but he easily dodged it by tilting his head. He shoved the heel of his hand into the chest of the man who threw the fist, his chest caved in as he flew backwards into a wall. Hyde ducked as the last man swung a pipe at his head. He stood and caught the pipe as the man came around for another swing. Hyde shoved the pipe through the man and then kicked the pole to drive it in further.
Hyde turned to the cowering naked teenager and brought his spear up. He brought it down on the teen, but stopped inches from his head. Hyde pulled the spear away and turned around.

"Get outta here..." Hyde said as he turned and walked out of the alley, he turned at the corner and kept walking down the sidewalk.

[Kwai]

OOC: That prior fight between the GVA, hybrids, and the Brotherhood was pathetic... no special attacks, skills, etc. used, just beating on each other disregarding the weapons/skills they all had....

[i] Warrington came to in his chamber, as the clock on the wall struck 12 with a melancholy note. He slowly stood up, cringing from the momentary pain, and looked around. As usual, Brendan's slumbering figure was found in front of the fire place, on his usual rocking chair. Warrington felt himself over, and growled angrily. That fight... and that idiotic AVD agent... this is why he said they shouldn't have allied. Not only did they get in his way but they also had the audacity to attack him as well...

The door opened with a bang as Sir Lowendove came striding in, followed by two shadowy figures. Sir Lowendove looked extremely angry, and glared at Warrington.

"Your reports, agent...?" he said coldly.

Warrington glared right back, and muttered.

"Engaged in a battle, those damn GVA/AVD agents screwed up, they escaped, we were wounded, and here we are." he muttered bitterly.

Sir Lowendove's eyes contorted, and motioned to his guards to leave the room. The guards left silently, but Father Amiel came limping in, as if to take their place.

"Pardon, Sir Lowendove." said Father Amiel. "We did not expect to have another hybrid there. We anticipated only one, the male hybrid known as Hyde, but another hybrid happened to come in as well. Not to mention that fool Leon... he attacked us as well as the hybrids..." finished Father Amiel with a trace of anger.

Sir Lowendove's eyes darted from the slumbering figure of Brendan, to Warrington, to Father Amiel. He turned and left the room, and said venomously.

"Whatever it takes to do, do it..."

[/i]

[Annie]

[color=indigo][font=times new roman][size=1][b]Reaper stood up. She was tired of being by herself. She wanted to be outside, but was afraid of what was waiting for her. The GVA and the Lowendove Brotherhood were in cahoots and after the hybrids. Warrington would be insane with anger and would not fool around with her.

"I agree with you Warrington. This is war..A war that I want to help..That's it, I am going to go to the AVD and talking to Leon. If Hyde wants to kill me, I would like to see him try..No, I don't. I-I..Uhhhh,"Reaper walked down the stairs and outside. You are going! He killed your family! You swore your revenge!!

Reaper's concious was tearing her in fifty directions. She decided to walk it off and clear her mind. She walked into a skateboarding store and looked around. "Whoa, babe. You have to be the whitest white girl I have ever seen," a kid in chains and torn jeans stepped up.

"You have a problem with my looks?"Reaper leaned close to him.

"Uh, no..Is there anything I can help you with? Looking for anything in particular?" he started to blush at Reaper's unwavering, emotionless stare.

"Sunglasses,"Reaper twirled around to look into the glass display case.

The kid walked around and opened the case. He handed her a pair of black sunglasses with red reflective lenses(imagine Cyclopes' glasses in the movie X-Men, except they are thin framed). Reaper put them on and walked out.

"Hey, babe! You gotta pay for that!"the guy was running around the counter.

Reaper looked over her shoulder and pulled down her new shades, smiled at him and disappeared. She ran down a few allies and jumped on the flag pole of the local bank. She crouched on the ball and looked down at the city.

"Now, where is it? Ah ha, there it is," she dove off and did a front flip before landing.

She took off towards the AVD Headquarters once again. She knocked on the old, heavy door. The same weary eyes peered out on her and narrowed.

"Not you again,"the voice was irritated.

"Yes, it is I, again. Has Leon checked in?"Reaper cautiously walked up to the door and placed one hand on the cold iron.

"No, he is not in. You will have to come back later. And I will guarantee that he will not see the likes of you,"the slid slammed shut.

Reaper stepped back. She realized that Leon might still be laying in the ally where the "fight" took place. She sprinted off, her trench coat floated on the wind. She came to the clearing and saw that Leon lay face down in the snow. His crimson blood sharply contrasted against the stark whiteness.

"Leon? Leon, are you dead?"Reaper knelt down and shook him.

He did not move. His body was cold, his breathing was faint. Reaper picked him up and gently held him in her arms. She ran back to the AVD Headquarters.

"Wha-Mr. Leon!! What did you do to him you b~~ch!?" the door painfully swung open.

The large burly guard stepped out and tried to pry Leon from Reaper's arms. But her grip was relentless and her face was hard. She stepped back.

"I am not going to just hand him over. I want to know he's going to be fine,"she held Leon tighter.

"Fine, let's go,"the guard motioned for her to go inside. Reaper cautiously followed.

Shades on, Reaper cautiously walked through the bright halls of the headquarters. All of the occupants inside stared in shock and some in horror.

"It's one of those 'hybrids'.....What is that doing in here?.....Should we attack?....What's Mr. Leon doing with the disgusting creater?....." Whispers hushed in Reaper's path.

She continued to walk down the corridor, Leon stirred.

"Uh..where..." he passed out again.[/color][/font][/size][/b]

OOC: Okay guys, let's get this going again!!
