RPG Band of Thieves M (LVS)

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou: Damn hot shot!I morfe then anyone know the traps around the place then anybody else!

Drou moved ahead at a dead run & & found a clearing up ahead & right before he got there a huge trap went off.Frist Drou jumped back then rolled forward & then he punched the last thing shattering the last part of thr trap into tiny pieces of wood.

Drou: Child's play.

Dawn: Your really thick headed at times aren't you?

Drou: Damn right.

Drou walked around the clearing getting herbs & plants for his wound & placed on the wound,toren in some places & put the bandana back on.

Drou: where is Mayhony?

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]Mayhony looked back at Nanashi and smiled as he watched the screens carefully with her.
"Well well boys and girls, seems as if you are all doing a wonderful job!"
They all stopped and looked around as she laughed over the intercom system.
"I'm here and waiting for you all to arrive. But as I sit here and watch you all I seem to think that my traps are just alittle to easy. So I think the ones I have locked for my extrem traing will now be unlocked. Good luck, hope at least one of you makes it here alive. Oh, thought I would let you all know that your just now entering the belly of the best. Good luck!"
She clipped off the intercom and smiled as Doru and Vahn starting yelling at each other again.
"They'll have to learn to work together if they want to get out of there alive."
She watched the screens as they all jumped, looking around as , tall fences came up around the woods that they were in, they could hear the crackle of the electricity corseing through it. She flipped on the intercom and said in a very serious tone.
"And remember one thing, this is nothing compared to the security of the Zeal crystal. Doru, I know you said that you tried to steal it your self, but I hate to tell you that you had the wrong crystal, you see, no one has ever tried to steal the Zeal, only her sister, the Dragon Tear, and if you think that security was bad, triple it and that is what we have to prepare for in a month. So get ready for the worst month of your lives."
She heard Vahn over the speakers.
"You mean we're stuck in here for a month?!"
"If that is what it takes for you all to start to trust and work together to get here then yes. The sooner you do that, the sooner you get here and get to your next task and the sooner you can get out of the woods and back to a warm house."
She flipped the intercom off and the speakers before any of them could argue and looked back at Nanashi.
"Well, time to see what they do."
She pressed a button and heard the lock on the rest of her traps unlock, these were deadlier then the others by 5 times and came in quicker sucsession. So well hidden that they were unseen. She watched as Ronyo dogded the land mine that went off a moment later, blasting the tree he was in and making it fall, all the others looked around hearing the commotion. They now knew she wasn't kidding.[/B][/COLOR]

[B]OCC:I need at least 2 posts each for this part, these traps are NOT seen and EXTREMELY dangerous, so make it detailed.[/B]

[Wullf_Maximas]

As Ronyo landed from his fallen tree he and Tifa could finally see the others. Vahn and Drou seemed to be arguing while Dawn looked on. Looking around at the electric fence made Ronyo wish he had brought his new gloves.

?[I]That?s what I get for being stupid[/I].?

?Knowing Mayhony this part won?t be easy, or at all clean. If that mines any indication of the rest then we best be on are toes,? Ronyo said to Tifa.

?Should we help those three? They seemed more concerned about showing up one another then on this test,? Tifa sighed as she watched the three.

?There are comrades we need to help them. Mayhony said we needed to start working together so I think its time we start.?

Ronyo looked around for anything that would hinder him walking up to the others. He thought about how well hidden these traps would be, and decided to stop searching so much. These would probably go off no matter what. Luck was on Tifa and Ronyo?s side however and they made it safely to the other three.

?Long time no see. Looks like your having just as much fun as we are,? sarcasm dripped from Ronyo?s words, ? Mayhony isn?t playing games anymore it seems. Basically we either learn to work together or die trying. This is no longer about beating someone to the finish line or getting rights to first shower. This is real, ad are lives are on the line now. It doesn?t matter how much training any of us have had, if we mess up now we die. We all have our talents so lets use them. Tifa and Vahn you two keep your eyes pealed for anything out of the ordinary. Dawn and Drou need to follow back and between you two, so if anything does happen someone can be there to help the other. I?ll take rear and keep my eyes on the wide view from the back. Between the five of us we should be able to make it out of this mess alive. So what say all of you??

[Kredion]

[COLOR=Blue][i] Hearing Ronyo say those words he was relieved he wasn't the only on who reliazed that teamwork was nessesary for survival.[/i]

Vahn: i agree however i just hope Mayhony doesn't get a sick sense of humor and unleash those monsters i saw in the forest behind the house in this place.

Dawn: Monsters? where and what kind?

Vahn: {shruging} nothing we can't handle but it will be tricky with all these sound sensative traps ahead of us.

Drou: it just keeps geting better and better.

Ronyo: We HAVE to get through this forest.

Vahn:We will if we work together like Mayhony said. {Thinking} If nothing else then to tell Katoria about the cousin i have found looking in Dawn's direction i am surprised that we havn't found her sooner.{End Thinking} If you want to stay on the floor Dawn i will take the Upper level trees that way we can make sure there ain't no hanging traps.

Dawn: doesn't matter to me.

Vahn:Alright now if Mayhony thinks anything like my old Sensei then once we get about half way through she will have a lovely little noisemaking machince that will set off all the traps around us only problem being that we don't know where it is considering how she has hide so many of these so cunningly.

Ronyo: can you see them?

Vahn: I can try using my Takashi Technique but i get the feeling even it will only be so helpful.

Drou: so in other words your at limits end about time tough guy.

Vahn: {quietly} Never said that however the other abilitys we might need i have very little training in.. so i am going to need everyone help even yours Drou as much as i hate to admit it.

Ronyo: now if we are done talking let's start on this hellish course

Dawn: Alright here we go.... watch out for that trap at over there

Vahn: alright there is a trap on this tree over here i think i can disable it.

Drou: allow me.

Vahn: it's all yours.

[i]Jumping on to tree he pointed the trap out to Drou and then simply swung onto another branch and Preformed the artful Takashi Technique and slowly looked for more traps as they slowly hazed into view.[/i]

Vahn: Oh boy.[/COLOR]

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou pulled a ball out of his pocket.

Drou:You all might want to close your eyes.

Dawn:Why??

Drou: This a a flash ball.Anything light senstive will be blinded by this..It also makes quite a nosie like an army thourgh dead leaves.

Everyone closed their eyes & Drou trew the ball & it made a bliding flash,setting off some traps while the nose set off a few more.

Drou: That set off a few atleast...

Dawn:That was a good try.

Tifa:Yeah.

Ronyo: atleast we know you're not a one trick pony.

Vahn: Thats ture & now we know how some of the traps are like.

[Kredion]

[i]Vahn watched as the traps went off then got a idea of his own.[/i]

Vahn: Hey Drou why don't you attach one of those to that tree overthere and blow the roots out?

Drou: {blushing} I kinda used my last one.

Vahn: Oh well then back to the old fashioned way.

[i] Flunging his Kunai into a nearby Swinging trunk trap rope allowing it to swing free Vahn run up a tree side and luanched himself on the trunk grabbed his kunai and slashed the ropes before he leaps into a nearby tree branch.[/i]

Vahn: GERANOMO!

Ronyo: COME ON QUIT GOOFING OFF!

[i]Seeing the trunk fall to the forest floor it slamed into the ground setting off a half a dozen traps[/i]

Drou: Show off.

Vahn: i think i see the edge of the forest from here however there is a huge fence there and somesort of building.

Dawn: think it's the building Mayhony mentioned?

Vahn: well only one way to find out.

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou dug trew his bag & pulled out a few more balls.

Ronyo: More balls?

Dawn: Looks like.

Tifa: What do they do?

Vahn: One is a white smoke ball which shows hidden stuff &

Drou:The other a a flame ball..God for bruning string that most traps are used with.

Drou trew the white smoke ball into the middle of the place & After that went off & showed tons of string,He trew the flame ball into the same spot & all the string burned setting off a lot of traps.

Tifa: That was good!!

[Kredion]

[COLOR=Blue]Vahn: Cursed at this rate we will be here forever....

[i] Pulling out a few Surikens Vahn's eyes narrowed and his hands went into a feral poistion for a moment and then it happened with a quick and swift movement of his hands he threw the Surikens into a Mass of traps all around. Dawn and Tifa Gasped at the near misses but vahn wasn't aiming directly at the traps instead he was using the surikens as markers for his next trick with a few quick movement he body plused with energy and with a wave of powerful energy unable to be seen the area was sent off in one giant earth rocking blast all around them the dirt flew and a few trees fell over and vahn fell to his knees spent breathing heavy his eyes returned to normal and his sharp hearing ceased to be.[i]

Vahn: we should be safe for about 1/8th of a mile into the forest but that took every thing i had...

Ronyo: you could have done that all this time?

Vahn: that was my mothers trick... using a short sonic blast i can set off traps but it takes alot out of me..[/color]

[Wullf_Maximas]

Ronyo watched as Vahn and Drou went back and forth throwing all there tricks at the unseen traps. They hadn?t moved much from there general location as the two turned Mayhony?s training area into what looked like a military war zone. After Vahn?s last trick the group had begun to move once more and slowly but surely made there way through the forest of traps. As Vahn said about 1/8th of a mile in and they could all tell the shockwave had not reached this far.

?Well it was nice while it lasted. It seems you guys have spent a good deal of your energy so far. Lets see if I can help out the rest of the way. You guys will need your strength, for there is no telling what awaits us after this trek through Mayhony?s forest,? Ronyo stood looking at the trees and bushes ahead of them. The traps were not visible to the eye but that was only one since they didn?t have, ? I think we need some extra help on this one.?

Ronyo smiled and knelt to one knee. He touched the ground and looked around a bit. Nothing large was getting through to this neck of the woods, but something smaller could. Ronyo slowly neared a tree and examined it for anything that would tip him off to a trap. After being satisfied of no danger Ronyo began making a sound?.almost a clicking sound. The others stared at him with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. After a short while two small squirrels came down from the tree. They jumped on to Ronyo?s shoulder and scurried around. Ronyo put both his hands out and the two sat on either hand. Ronyo only seemed to stare at the animals but in truth he was doing much more. The squirrels cocked there heads as if listening to something, but nothing could be heard. After a moment of this the two began shaking there tails and ran down to Ronyo?s feet. The squirrels began sniffing the ground and giving areas good hard looks.

?These two will be able to guide us for a good ways. Mayhony may be good at setting traps but I doubt she masked her scent. Smells we might not pick up on, most animals come across daily. Since these two seem to live here I can only assume they know what smells of danger and what smells of safety. Be carious still, for they travel a narrow path. Stay close together in a line. No one walks next to anyone or away from where I walk. This way we can keep a steady pace and make it to Mayhony?s hideout without fear of harming one an other or the forest around us.?

The group nodded and followed Ronyo and his friends through what they could only hope was the last leg of this journey they had began.

[Kredion]

[i]Walking the fine line between the traps and the safe area the animals that Ronyo had ask for help showed Vahn: felt like a fool for using his best technique on such a silly purpose he should have known that it wouldn't have helped all that much and just kept using his Takishi Technique at least then he would still have it.[/i]

Vahn: i am a real fool

Dawn: why do you say that?

Vahn: i used most of my power on a simple technique that only got us a little ways i should have conserved my strength and let you guys handle some of this. who knows if i will need to use one of my techniques to keep you guys safe. knowing mayhony this was only the beginning.

Drou: i can do anyhting you can and i still have plenty of energy.

Vahn: it is true you have raw talent Drou but i can tell from the form of your body you have no traits of the Kikato tribe.

Ronyo: who are they?

Vahn: a group of "cousins" who specalize in Information,Assassination,Guarding of treasures and Infiltration at a price of course.

Tifa: you mean mercanaries?

Vahn: i guess that is a word for them.

Drou: doesn't sound like a group of people to mess with.

Vahn: it ain't... however we have been looking for a "Cousin" for some time and i time Dawn is the one they are looking for..but i have no choice but to tell my uncle about her it is my duty to the tribe.

Ronyo: wait you are one of them?

Vahn: *shurging* I am a cousin. I am not a Normal mercanary. i am a Member of the tribe it is a place to belong and of traits.

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou: I have though what you may call a power..it come's form living in a forest like this to stay safe so i've learbned to haer how the plants 'talk'.

Drou closed his eyes & listened very closey.

Drou: Follow the very path I say or you will get hit by a trap.

Vahn: This is something i couldn't see or guess this about you.

Dawn: That is very neat.

Tifa: Even my eyes can see only a few of these traps but I guess the plants know best.

Drou started to Guide Ronyo out of danger in a werid line & everyone followed his exact steps untill Dawn misstepped & a arrow shot out at her head.Drou quickly jumped infornt of Dawn & Took the hit for Dawn

Dawn: Thanks Drou.

Drou: No problem.

Drou wionced in pain & pulled out the arrow form his arm & put a stirp of coth over it.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=DarkRed][B]OCC: Anime, I encouge enthusiasim, but everyone was following Wolf, read posts of the others VERY crefully. I do not want to have to close this for that reason. Another thing, your slightly 'god-moding' it again. Tone it down. Yes our characters are the best at what they do but your making your guys sound kinda invincible here. I am going by Wolf's posts that everyone is following him. Please read it over again and edit to match. Thanks![/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]ICC: Mayhony smiled as she watched them approach closer and closer to her small building and looked around to see if they had tripped anything yet. Nothing, they were doing well. she pressed a button and smiled as a few silent buzzers went off, to high for their ears and laguhed slightly as turmoil and unorganization broke out amougnst them causeing more traps to go off. She nodded when they reached the doorway, Ronyo in front, for he was leading them. She opened the com once again and they heard her voice over the speakers.
"Well done. Now lets us see if you can crack my codes. This is something I do want to see. I am known world wide for my codeing skills so do a good job. You get it wrong and you get a surprise."
She laughed as she heard them all groan, she laughed more as Doru stepped forward and began to work on the coded lock. She could litterally see the sweatdrop form on his head like from the mangas she read and watched the trap door open under them and them fall. She left the room and walked down the stairs hearing her rock music come through the halls she heard them argueing about how it was Doru's falt they were all cramped in a very tight, and very small barred cage. They all stoped as Mayhony stepped into the sun.
"You made a mistake agian everyone. It is no one person's fault that you are all in here, it is all of your faults that you are in here."
Doru looked at her scowling.
"That makes no sense!"
"Of corse it does. That lock has many keys and not one person can unlock it, if you had stopped and looked at it and talked it out with the others instead of trying to be Mr. Hotshot you would have known that. I told you, you have to learn to work together, not be all gun ho. Work together and maybe you'll get out. Try to do it alone and hey, you'll be in here all night with no food."
She saw Vahn's face blanch.
"But we haven't eatten anything since breakfast!"
"Then I suppose you better get to talking. You get out of here you have the hardest test of all."
She pulled out two hand scyes from her belt and twirled them expertly.
"You have me."
She spun around tucking them back in her belt and began to walk back up the basement stairs when Doru yelled at her retreating form.
"You can not treat people this way!"
She turned and walked back down grabbing him by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him against the bars, Tifa gasped and made to help him but Vahn and Ronyo held her back.
"You think that if you get caught going after that crystal they are going to give a flying fuck on hwo they treat you?! Think again! I had a family member killed infront of my own eyes by those fuck face gaurds! All because he made a fluke in the security system! Those women have not one ounce of compassion! None of them and until I think your ready, your nothing more then a singal celled organisim that has nothing more to do in life then eat, shit and sleep! Your no where near ready Doru! You think you are but your not. So don't you dare tell me what I can and can not do. This is nothing compared to what they would do if they had caught you. So get used to a little tough love."
She threw him back to the others and stalked off up the stiars. She heard Ronyo quietly scowled Doru. She shook her head. At the rate this was going, they were never going to be ready.[/B][/COLOR]

[Kredion]

Ooc: Finally out of the forbidden forest. But as they say out of the frying pan into the fire.
-----------------------------------

Vahn: next time i say we let Dawn handle the computer she has more skills then us.

Ronyo: yeah but you heard what mayhony said if we try it apart we fail.

Vahn: the lock she was refering too however needed two people to stand on the pressure pads and one at the terminal it was just outside of the building and i was trying to tell you when mister impulsive here.

drou: Like you would have done anydifferent.

Vahn: You mean like check for a trap?

Drou: YEAH well ok i screwed up happy?

Dawn: not like it matters now.. here we are and theirs Mayhony and we got to beat her now.

Vahn: Pftt lets just throw rock head over there at her.

Ronyo: all right that is enough both of you. Geez you would think your little kids.

Tifa: yeah just grow up and get over it.

Vahn: yeah well your not the one on their head with their feet stuck in the air.

Dawn: *chuckles* well you got to admit at least your feet don't hurt anymore.

Vahn: *sourly* yeah well i would prefer a nice cold glass of water and some hot food with it.

Ronyo: oh just quit girping and deal.

vahn: sure [i]smacks drou on the head with a upside down foot[/i] what ever you say.

[Wullf_Maximas]

Ronyo and the other moved around so they could help Vahn up and then began looking around. Suddenly Ronyo felt little claws and noticed the squirrels had fallen down with them. They jumped out and looked at Ronyo.

?thanks very much for your help. Unless either of you can get us out of this cage I think you can go now.?

The squirrels made some noises then scampered off looking for a small outlet in the area. Ronyo smiled then got an idea.

?I got it, all this time we?ve been trying to use are best tricks to accomplish these tasks. Why don?t we tone things down and try a little finesse. Like the saying goes, don?t use cannon ball to kill mosquito.?

?Alright wise man, how do you propose we do that?? Vahn asked

?Well to start with we did[B] [I][U]fall[/U][/I][/B] down into this cage. So that means the top has a opening. If the three of us guys act like steps we can get the girls out. Since they weigh less we can toss them the last few inches if need be, and between the two of them I bet they could find a way to let the rest of us out. I see nothing more harmonic then that.?

?At this point I?m game for anything,? Drou grinned

Vahn and Drou got on there hands and knees and knelt shoulder to shoulder, there was barely enough room to do this. Ronyo perched himself on top of the two makeshift tables and helped Dawn and Tifa up. From there they would climb onto Ronyo?s shoulders and jump out. Dawn went first and Tifa followed close by. The two nimble thieves made it outside the cage and began to search for a way to release the others.

?Wow, it actually worked. Would you look at that,? Ronyo chuckled

?That?s great now could you stop standing on us,? Vahn and Drou snapped at Ronyo

?Hehe, sorry guys ? [I]at least they agreed on something though[/I],? good work by the way,? Ronyo hopped down as Vahn and Drou just brushed themselves off.

[Kredion]

Vahn: hey you know what i forgot i still had this

Ronyo: what is it?

[i] Vahn reached into his bag and pull out about a 20 foot length of cord and and grappling hook quickly he tied the rope to the hook and threw it up for the girls.[/i]

Vahn: ok girls it all yours just find a nice pole or tree trunk and tie it to it then we can climb up.

Drou: you couldn't have used that before?

Vahn: nope we needed someone upthere since i couldn't see any trees to latch it to.

Ronyo: at least we can get out now

[i] just then a small coil of rope landed on Drou's head and he started climbing after he reached the top ronyo and then vahn climbed up and vahn set him self onto untieing his grappling hook while Ronyo and Dawn figured out the Metal plated and the code.[/i]

Dawn: ok guys i need the 3 of you to step on those plates while i use the code breaking system it brings up once i tell you to get off make a run for the door.

Drou: ok that's it?

Dawn: yup seems Ronyo was right we were expecting something way to off the wall this code is very simplistic.

Vahn: ok just try not to set off any say.. cage traps that might fall from up there.

[i]Vahn pointed up[/i]

Ronyo: thats just sick.

Tifa: ehhh lovely.

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou: Of course,Now it's so simple...

Drou pulled his back pouch around his hip to his front & checked to see what he had left.[i]Hmmm....four kanai,Whit ball,red balls,yellow balls,& Ahh!!I still have my collipasable sword in here,PERFECT!![/i]

Drou: Tifa,I think that we need to wacth out for Mayhony...Even though I'm not afarid of her....Far form it....Anyway,Even if we all did a two weapons on us....We can't beat her...We need a plan....& I think I've got one.

Tifa: Really?I just hope it works.

Vahn: We should never let Drou think though...

Drou: Vahn..In you shape you will not be of that much use.I rather not hasve tio try to make sure your okay & focus on mayhony as well.

Dawn: I need quiet you guys.

[Kredion]

Vahn: very well this is your guys fight i will stand on the sidelines and watch....Just know that i hate just watching fight.

Ronyo: it is for your own good.

Drou: yeah now lets watch out for mayhony before she gets us.

Vahn: since i ain't fight can i atleast make a small suggestion?

Drou: depends what it is.

Vahn: have Ronyo Distract her while either or Tifa come from the rear then have Have them and you Push her back into her own trap. Less blood and makes a point onto her.

Drou: i guess that might work if she don't teleport.

Vahn: leave that to me and Dawn...

Ronyo: i thought you were..

Vahn: i am but their is something Dawn needs to learn first and this will give me the prefect oportuanity. So try my way first then if it don't work go back to Drou's idea of mindless hacking and slashing.

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou: You think it may be mindless Hacking & Slashing but It gets to see if she smart enough not to fall for it.We just need to keep her on her toes & then hope she messes up & we can get her or....I use these thunder balls.

Ronyo: Thunder balls?Aren't those the kind that you trow one in one way & you torw the other away form the first & timakes a shock??

Drou: Yup!In a stagart line to so if I can trow one in each conor We each stand in one area & we try to get her to shock her self but we need two ranged & two hand to hand for it to really work...

Vahn: For once you came up with a smart idea!

Tifa: I think that might work.

Dawn: I agree but we try Vahns idea first.

Drou: What ever floats your boat.

[Kredion]

Vahn: dawn come over here and climb in that tree quick i will be there in a minute. and Drou good luck..

Ronyo: alright lets do this..

Mayhony: since you guys seem like your done agruing now i will show you what i can do but you misunderstood what i ment eariler i will take you each one by one and Nanashi can make sure the rest of you will not interfere or else..

Vahn: hey i ain't up for a fight right now so pick Drou or Ronyo either of them are always up for one.

Drou: are you afraid big bad Vahn?

Vahn: no just playing it safe. Hey ronyo my advice is to let Drou soak up all the damage she lets out then when she is worn out you take her out.

Drou: WHAT!

Dawn: VAHN! How could you?

Vahn: hey it's only a Suggestion.

[Anime Dreamer00]

Drou: What ever.I'll try my plan anyway...but if I need to fight I'll go like this.

Drou pulled off the black robe & put it on the ground.In stead of the normal thing drou wore he had on a mesh shirt & the mesh on it wasn't tiny at all they where about mediuem size holes but everyone saw what was on Drou's back,Scars all on his back.

Tifa: Drou,Your back.

Vahn: He's been tortored..& badly....

Dawn: But by what??

Ronyo: By a whip & many times too.

Drou: Lets get this over with Mayhony.I'll make sure you understand everything about me.

Mayhony: Oh yeah?I think i need to put some sense in that think skull of yours.

Drou: Go ahead.Theres more to me then what even you know!!![i]I just hope i don't go crazy & lose contorl of myself during the fight.[/i]

[Kredion]

[i]Vahn watched as the two circled each other and as mayhony and him traded blows at first it seemed as if mayhony would win by finesse however Drou was starting to get more frienzied about his blows and was pushing her back. But Mayhony apparently had a plan up her sleeve as she ducked under one of his blows and twirled her weapons around and as she was slashing down he pushed forward and rolled as he did and as he neared a tree and pushed off with one of his legs and shot stright into mayhony's body as her blades came crashing down into his back. Vahn couldn't stand to watch this fight go on like this however he knew he kind of promised and even if he hadn't he doubted he could get to her before Nanashi got him....[/i]

Vahn: dawn let me show you what i was going to show you eariler now is the perfect time...

Dawn: ok show me..

Vahn: this might hurt your head and parts of your body at first but then it will feel like a wave of warm water sliping over and out of you.

[i] taking her hand he moved his fingers into a sign then he moved his other hand into a marriored version of the sign next he moved both hands into a steeple postation and for the final sign he made two of her fingers cross.[/i]

Vahn: now repeat that and when you do pretend as if you can see a wave of sound smashing into Mayhony and Drou Pulling them apart seperating them without harming them and also think about why you want it to be so..

Dawn: Ok here i go..

[i] With unpracticed ease her fingers moved like water sliping over a cliff and down smoothly into a stream the swiftness of her movements surprised her but she didn't show much of it. but as she did it a wave of unseen energy flew both drou and mayhony apart however drou still had her bladed weapon stuck in his back and she was weaponless.[/i]

Vahn: well it's a start...

[Akieen Cloud]

[B]OCC:*Bangs head on desk* Not what I had in mind people...from now on we do it my way, its getting alittle out of hand.[/B]


[COLOR=Purple][B]ICC: Mayhony smiled as the image of her dissappered.
"Pretty good, but now you've just shown me what I needed to know."
Drou looked at her and felt his back feeling nothig but a pain dart.
"Pain inducers. Welcome to my world now boys and girls, here is where we seperate the thieves from the fighters. This is where I will see how many of you go with me to infultraite and which of you go to the front line as diverstion. And no I am not takine voulenteers."
She then produced ribbions, one for each of them and smiled.
"You catch me, you get your ribbion, you pass and I grade you. From there I tell you where you are placed and we train accordingly. Any questions?"
Drou raised his hand.
"No? Good. Lets go."
She suddently seemed to dissappare and reapper behind Drou.
"Catch me if you can."
She left again and they all looked up at her in the rafters.
"Well? Lets go!"
They moved as one and she was gone again.[/B][/COLOR]

[Wullf_Maximas]

OOC: I?m assuming we?re back outside. Since I?ve seen several post indicating trees, so I?ll go off that for now.

ICC:
Mayhony?s tricks seemed to be getting more and more elaborate. Now they were once again separated as a whole and all racing for one of Mayhony?s ribbons. With so much planning and preparation it seemed odd to all come down to this. A tiny piece of cloth would determine there fate in the grand heist to come. With Mayhony?s ability to vanish and cast allusions of herself clearly would give hear in advantage in this game of cat and mouse. Ronyo saw Drou and Vahn follow Mayhony and keep pace. There training aloud them similar abilities to reappear where need be. However Mayhony?s talent was added by the fact that this was Mayhony?s place. She knew every inch of this area and could use it to her full advantage, which meant she could appear in places the rest of them hadn?t seen yet. Ronyo watched the three dance through the trees and come always inches from each other. Dawn had vanished and seemed to be waiting for Mayhony, and Tifa was watching Mayhony carefully. Ronyo?s guess was to study Mayhony?s abilities and try and discover a pattern in the areas she appeared around. That could take hours though, and since Drou and Vahn were keeping on Mayhony?s heels her pattern was most likely sporadic. Then Ronyo since Mayhony appear close by him.

?You gonna stand here all day or do you plan on trying?? Mayhony asked with what Ronyo could only assume would have been a smile. For no sooner had she spoke then she had vanished once again.

?[I]This game could go on for hours and none of us could get a ribbon. Mayhony seems well fit as well, so there is no hope in waiting for her to tire[/I].?

Then Ronyo remembered back to the trail of traps. He had let the squirrels guide them on smell not sight, and again sight seemed to be the handicap. Ronyo almost grinned and decided it was worth a shot, although smell would be useless here too. Ronyo closed his eyes and focused on the sounds around him. He could hear the leaves move and stir when someone would move quickly over them. Then he heard a thud then another and another. These were Drou, Vahn, and Mayhony?s feet making contact with either tree trunks or the ground. Ronyo listened closer and then heard it, a difference in sound from one of the three thuds. Mayhony was lighter since she was a women and that meant her steps also came lighter. Were Drou and Vahn?s steps were not stomps they had a weight behind them. Ronyo drew his blades and waited until he heard it again???.THUD. Ronyo was off, he dashed towards the sound still with his eyes closed and then he heard it again. It really wasn?t that far from the last one. Again Mayhony?s feet touched something and Ronyo continued to follow the sound until he heard the sound loudly. Ronyo opened his eyes to see Mayhony looking away from him. She was watching for the other two, and keeping a sharp eye out for Dawn. Then Mayhony gasped as she noticed Ronyo was no longer stationary. Ronyo?s blades came within inches of taking a ribbon from Mayhony. Mayhony stepped back then lunged forward with a strike up high and down low from her weapons. Ronyo meet the blades with his then slid a knee up between Mayhony?s outstretched arms. Mayhony bent back in time to avoid the knee and at the same time withdrew her blades and completed her bend into a backwards summersault. She was crouched ready for an attack, but then vanished as Drou and Vahn came striking in. there attacks coming within inches as well.

?Very good boys, but you?ll have to do better, and I?m keeping my eyes on you from now on Ronyo. No more sneaking up on me like that.? Mayhony laughed.

?[I]Well hell, back to square one[/I].?

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Purple]Tifa looked around where she was, looking out for Mayhony. [I]Hmm...Maybe if I try to look for Mayhony using my eyes..."[/I]she thought.[I]Yeah.[/I]
Tifa focused on looking for Mayhony. It took a while before she could tap into her seeing eye mode. Tifa could hear Mayhony running, like she was really close.
"Hehe..."said a voice from behind Tifa. It was Mayhony. "Looks like someone's up to something."
Mayhony grabbed Tifa and Tifa struggled to get out of her grip. "C'mon Tifa," Mayhony teased. "I thought you were better than this!"
TIfa stayed silent but still struggled to break free of her strong grip.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
