Amusement Park Rumble (Vampire's open challenge)

[Steampunk Samurai]

The park was in full swing. The rides were loud. The children were screaming in delight. and the night was young. Little did anyone here know that a certain vampire had issued an open challenge to all comers that would take place here.

Standard Battle forum rules apply.
The fighters in battle order are.

Ribgroveller (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53431&p=1819594&viewfull=1#post1819594) (Hoef)

~~~

Joel checked his watch, the time read 9:35. It was nearly time for the challengers to arrive. Hopefully some strong humans would come. His last few victims had hardly fought back at all. Joel smiled at all the people enjoying the night. He'd shown restraint so far, and since there was to be a bought any ways, it wouldn't hurt to have a snack. So Joel moved stealthily up behind a woman watching the moon. He quickly bit into here neck the warm jet of blood quickly sating him. (this will not count towards blood skills) The crowd hadn't noticed at all. "So naive." Joel said dropping the woman's drained body over the pier. Even that went unnoticed in this crowd. It would be a bloodbath when his challenger arrived.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

The night acted as cover for T'kam, with her sticking to the shadows,not yet wanting to use her Av-camo unit. She stayed on the roof tops, the lights covering her from prying eyes. She watched the crowds. She knew not what she was suppose to fight, just that she had received an invitation to a fight, and who was she to deny someone a fight?

So she waited, till she noticed a human seemingly bit another's neck and suck thier blood, and throwing the body in the water afterwards. That was all T'kam needed to tag her target.

She would keep her eyes on this one. It would be bad to lose the target in the crowds.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Able to blend into the environment, Sota walked through the crowd, his hands in his coat pockets. I wonder where this challenge will be, and who exactly... he thought as he closed his eyes for a moment, using his faint senses to track down abnormal energies near him, and then opened his eyes once done. Sota silently continued onwards to this challenge, not speaking a word.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller was a legend in some cultures and dangerous in others and knew this was to be him. He kept low hiding within the darkness of the back alley of the amusement park. He smirked slightly, "Ribgroveller hungry.. Ribgroveller needs blood!" he said howling into the night mimicking the sound of a wolf howling towards a moon. In some cases Ribgroveller was mistaken for a werewolf and this got his blood boiling as he stepped from the darkness and towards the oncoming crowd smeeling blood from the far. He licked his beast-like lips roaring into the crowd hoping to see humans run and scatter at his primitive nature.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel suddenly heard a scream. It wasn't from anyone near him so that could only be a challenger. He put on his gloves and went ethereal, his bat form flying him atop a ferris wheel that was currently inactive. From here he noticed a few people fleeing from some sort of hairy beast. A werewolf perhaps? "Don't make this Cliche now!" He yelled down to the beast. He could faintly smell something else in the air that wasn't human. But he couldn't make anything out in the crowd below so it looks like wolf boy was the one.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Seeing her target turn into a swarm of bats cemented in T'kam's mind she needed to kill this beast. With the target now above her on the wheel like ride, T'kam charged up a plasma ball, and threw it with the speed of a major league pitcher at the vampire, and moving away from where she threw it.

[Gummi Bunnies]

As the crowd seemed to be in a panic from this strange wolf person, Sota took this diversion as a chance to hide out behind one of the lots of the food court. Let's play it safe for now...hopefully I could handle controlling these...creatures... Sota thought as he held out his hands and began to draw out mists of darkness, and this already seemed to take a toll on him. Yet, he was able to form only two Shadow Replicas, creatures that resembled humans but with a body made out of shadows. "Go..." he mumbled with a hint of exhaustion to the shadowy creatures, which instantly sunk into the ground and headed towards the wolf boy. To others, two abnormal shadows on the ground would be seen circling around the wolf boy, being strange shadows that had no actual source. If these strange shadows in the ground were left alone, the Shadow Replicas would lunge out of the ground and attack this wolf boy without hesitation. Sota stayed where he was, hiding behind a small building that was in the food court, being able to see what was happening from his Shadow Replicas' point of view.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller was suddenly confronted by multiple humanoids who he thought weren't humans, "Don't make this Cliche now." said one of the humanoids that seemed to have wanted him but ribgroveller wasn't going to have it. He then saw that there was a projectile coming towards him and smirked activating his senses dodging out of the way of projectiles by leaping into the air. This was to be expected since this beast a Bugbear, "Ribgroveller shall destroy you petty humanoid creatures. Ribgroveller sense stronger humanoids in ares so Ribgroveller shall take all of you on at once." he said before activated his super strength with him roaring pulling out his hammer. He aimed his thoughts on the creature before spinning down towards the creature that fit the descripition of a vampire using his hammer as a transfer of strength.

[Steampunk Samurai]

"Hmm?" A ball of light came barreling at him from below. So joel held both hands in front of himself blocking it to the best of his ability. The gloves took the hit admirably. Only now the hairy beast was coming for him. And there was no sign of what threw the light at him. So once again he had to go for the hairy thing who was wielding a big hammer. He could cut through it with his bare hands so he dove down at the beast with a single palm thrust directed at the beast's shoulder. No kill shot's yet. He wanted to enjoy it.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Her plasma ball blocked, T'kam waited for the time to strike. Her main target was attacked some beast that had come from somewhere, and the thing looked durable. He might cause problems in taking out my target. Lets see what it can do. T'kam thought to herself as she simply blended with the shadows.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota couldn't handle on keeping these Shadow Replicas lurking around, so he immediately called those off and he decided to try something. His signature weapon, Rupture Cresent, materialized to his hands. Wanting to see what would happen, Sota swung down his scythe to the ground, creating a wave of dark energy towards both the vampire and the beast. For Sota, this was all to see what his opponents can do before he could really get into the fight.

[Dire Hoef]

[Mobile Post]

Ribgroveller grunted seeing the hammer miss its target and slam into the ground causing it to explode. Within this dirt explosion he saw the the vampire like humanoid go for his shoulder using only his hand and so with Ribgroveller's free hand he gripped the humanoids hand and smirked closing his hand slowly crushing the petty hand.

[Steampunk Samurai]

The beast was in range and had grabbed onto joel's hand hoping to crush it. Joel smirked. There was no way he expected this. He summoned forth a blade from the shadow in his sleeve sending it through the beast's wrist. Forcing him to release his grip as he leaped back narrowly avoiding a wave of darkness that came from a man with a scythe.

"Hah! I knew at least one human would come!" He said as he sidestepped the large beast. seeking out his true prey. Humans!

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Seeing an opportunity to take action now, T'kam charged forward and lept off the building, in a style very reminiscent of a certain Italian, with her swords fully out, the glowing red blades lighting up the dark and coming right at the vampire, aimed right at it's heart.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota only fell into the ground as shadows, a dark presence of shadows in the ground. From within the shadows in the ground, Sota sent out an array of lances of darkness. He wasn't really aiming, so it was spread out for a high chance to hit at least everyone. What Sota forgot at the moment was that someone could just jump into the pool of darkness he was hiding in, and that it wasn't an invincible place to stay for long.

[Dire Hoef]

[Mobile Post]

Ribgroveller suddenly yelped in pain before letting go of the humaniod's hand having a blade stabbed through it. He dropped the hammer and pulled it out howling with pain before activating his endurance to suppress the pain. He stood there before gripping the hammer and decided to go on a rampage and started swinging his hammer around like a madman. He making dirt explosions left and right aiming for the vampiric humanoid having enough of this foolish game.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Suddenly this was not the place to be as attacks came from all sides. So joel went ethereal. The dirt wouldn't effect him but two or three of his bats got skewered by lances of darkness from the human who'd just dropped out of existence it seemed. And three more got cut down by an energy blade carried by the newcomer. Some creature joel hadn't seen before. But now without him there, the attacks should collide as he formed up again on the tracks of the kiddie coaster, which thankfully wasn't running. Unlike the people, who were very much running for dear life now.

"Hey guys.... you missed me!" Joel yelled having fun with himself. However this kind of fun always got interrupted by human government.

(Three turns until police arrive.)

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Not expecting her target to disappear like that, T'kam barely avoided the other two attacks. avoiding the attacks, T'kam landed in a roll, springing right back up with a ball of plasma in hand, and threw it at the vampire. It was going very fast, and it was extremely hot, so contact would cause burn damage at the area of impact.

[Gummi Bunnies]

As Sota remained from within the pool of darkness in the ground, he had generated enough time for a certain attack. With no warning at all, many swirling beams of darkness shot out of the pool of darkness he was hiding in, and it was certain to say that these beams of darkness were locked on everybody.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller looked around still seeing humans and the humanoids scatter amongst this human festival. He needed to think of something and quick and when he realized it he began to put the thought into motion. He jumped through the air and lifted his hammer into the air and slammed it down on tents left and right causing the tent's area to explode with dirt and debris. He moved from tent to tent, area to area, destroying what filled the air before turning his sights on the rides hoping to gain some attention of both the humanoids and the humans.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel put both his hands forward, redirecting the plasma in the path of the beams. The explosion caused some burning. But It would be dealt with later. Now was time to shake things up with the swarm. He called it from within his shadow, hundreds of bats black as midnight with piercing red eyes. They dived down finding each target with echolocation and swarming them with their voracious appetite. Joel made especially sure that a few dove into the dark pool the human was hidden in.

"Did you all think I didn't have a plan? You were right. I don't, but I don't need one."

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

The shadow tendrils were not expected by T'kam, and they knocked her back a few feet, but she stayed up right. Looking back at where the vampire was at, the female warrior was shocked to see the being redirect her plasma attack bare handed, and then release a swarm of bat.

Igniting her swords, T'kam swung, trying to get the bats off her, while moving towards the vampire to launch an attack, a simple lunge with her left blade

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota immediately leapt out of the pool of darkness, clenching his fist to have the darkness that the bats had plunged into collapse altogether. Holding his scythe with one hand, his other hand seemed to be overflowing with darkness. "Two can play that kind of game....you and your bats, and me and my shadows," Sota said with a low quiet voice, his eyes flashing red once as he released the dark energy for a summoning. Like the dead had been arisen, Shadow Replicas (http://libertarianalliance.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/tumblr_lfk6qlzdbw1qdc1r3.jpg%3Fw%3D500) rose from the ground, the empty white eyes were emotionless and still as a notable trait of these shadow creatures. There was only three, since Sota could only handle that many without giving into the dark presence within him, and each Shadow Replica would suddenly warp to the three others. What Sota was trying to do with this, was that the Shadow Replicas would try to restrain them with their tendrils, and then drain out their essence entirely. If that failed however, Sota knew that this would give him little time to set up his scythe for some more fighting.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller aimed his sights on the rides and with that began to swing his destructive hammer before slamming down roaring causing the ground to collapse into a chasm, and with that the Ferris wheel that was at this human event quickly sunk into the chasm falling apart. Now that his attention was drawn away from he could focus more on destruction of this event since it had awoke him from his slumber.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel turned to the alien being that was rushing him with a pair of glowing blades. He released one of his dark blades sitting on the end of a black tendril extending from his sleeve it was positioned beteween the two. Ready to react, the beast was wrecking the rides of the park apparently not interested in the fight.

"He really is a simple beast." Joel noticed three shadows rising from the ground. He focused the last few bats on them, taking their attention from the others. They were a virtual unknown. No telling what they'd do. "This is thirsty work. Might have a snack when they arrive." Even now joel could hear the sirens.


(police arrive next turn)

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Her left blade may have been blocked, but it started to burn through the one made of darkness, while her right blade came up in an uppercut, hoping to burn this vampire with the heat of her plasma blades, as that was her best bet. It wouldn't do well to try and grapple with this monster.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota saw some of the bats coming towards his Shadow Replicas, and clenched his hand to make the shadows suddenly turn into a poisonous dark haze that the bats would be surrounded by. Deciding that now was for direct attacks, he held his scythe with one hand and rushed towards the two that seemed to battle with blades of their own. His scythe was extended back, ready for a horizontal swing.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller quickly was swarmed by something unknown to him then suddenly heard sirens within the distance. He needed to think of something quick or else he would soon see his fate be sealed. He quickly rolled to a hiden area and kept a low profile. He watched wondering why he had destroyed the area well enough he could hide behind some objects. He knew that the human police force would soon arrive and that's was his que to at least show humans who the real monster is.

[Steampunk Samurai]

The blade stung, just what joel expected from the damn light. He leaped back as the human approached with a scythe blade poised for attack. "How cute, he thinks he's people." Joel joked as he went ethereal flying past him in his swarmed form and re-forming just to his left, going for an uppercut that would shatter concrete.

Meanwhile half a dozen police began to enter the area, one speaking into his radio for backup.

Police wave one: No armor, armed with pistols. wave two in two turns. Police are hostile to all.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

with the block disingaged, T'kam moved back, seeing the human police forces arrive, she looked at them, her armor, and then procedded to charge Joel, cops be damned. Small arms fire wouldn't do to much to her armor. it would take Anti-Material sniper rifles to breach, and explosives to destroy T'kam's power armor.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota could sense the vampire to his side, and quickly side-stepped out of the way of the devastating uppercut. Hearing the arriving police forces, Sota didn't really mind them, since bullets wouldn't do much to kill him otherwise. For a moment, his eyes seemed red in a millisecond before turning to normal, while he had swung his scythe several times to create dark energy waves towards the opposing others. As for the police, he sent only two of his remaining Shadow Replicas to distract the police, these creatures of shadows were bound to fade away soon anyways.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller watched as the battle continued before coming from the shadows and confronted the human police with extreme prejudice. He lifted himself through the air and slammed his hammer down upon one of the police cars causing it to go up into flames after relentlessly beating it. He looked towards some the police officers who were preoccupied with some kind of shadow creature one of the humaniods had made. This angered him and so he prepared his hammer swinging it in a throwing liek gesture.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel followed his failed uppercut by jumping off the tracks of the coaster over to the controls. The key was left behind of course so it was simply a matter of starting the coaster and sending the ride at his two enemies who'd followed him up there so eagerly.

The police turn they're attention to ribgroveller, he being the only fighter spotted. unknown number of police left. assumed to be 3-4 men. Next wave in two turns.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Her target jumping back from her, T'kam gave chase, landing on the tracks, balancing on only one rail. She looked for the vampire, and saw him near a control console. Not sure what it did, T'kam moved forward, slowed greatly by her need to keep her balance on the rail.

Seeing the coaster car come at her, T'kam jumped up, and onto the car, running over it as it moved behind her. As the last car was out from under her, she landed on the rail, and threw a plasma ball at Joel and the controls, hoping to stop the ride that way, and hopefully injury the vampire.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota swiftly leapt up onto the coaster tracks, seeing the car heading towards him. Instead of moving out of the way, Sota swung his scythe downwards, sending a powerful dark energy wave that would tear through the set of cars in half and injure T'kam if she didn't move out of the way.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller, suddenly saw the shift in attention of the human police and decided to give them a run for him money. He swung his hammer smacking a police car over on his side and with this Ribgroveller gripped the bottom of the car and threw it making it slide across the ground into another police car that tried to escape. He saw the left over human policemen and put his hammer on his back to take out these human men with his hands as he gripped one by one hand and slammed him into the ground causing a crater to appear.

[Steampunk Samurai]

The console exploded as the plasma hit sending joel over the railing with severe burns. As joel rose to his feet a new plan formed as he released his swarm once again on the two remaining atop the coaster. Joe himself mad his way to the slingshot ride. Joel smiles at his devious plan.

A news chopper is now overhead. Swat is on it's way and arrives next turn.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Seeing her attack hit the console, T'kam jumped of the rails, the attack from Sota missing entirely. Before T'kam could get far, she had to draw both blades and start swiping at the bat swarm that came for her. It didn't do a large amount of damage, but it did distract the swordmistress

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota saw that there was another swarm of bats headed their way. Sota slightly cloaked himself with dark energy, trying to ignore the bats as he charged past them. He was focused on Joel.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller saw the helicopter overhead and roared towards it. He leaped towards the helicopter missing it landing on a tent causing it to collapse. He looked towards the helicopter with anger before leaping up towards it landing up it seeing the men scream in fear of Ribgroveller's presence before Ribgroveller started to reach into the helicopter trying to rip the men out of the helicopter.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel arrived at the slingshot ride pulling his remaining bats over. He stood there all three of his blades of darkness rising from his shadow and preparing to cut down his pursuers. Overhead joel heard the chopper failing and a crash moments later. Soon the spotlights came shining down upon each of the challengers.

"Humanity! You think you own this world, but your only a small part. A small part I'm going to crush in my grip."

The SWAT choppers have arrived and their marksmen will gun for everyone. There are two choppers armed with high-powered rifles as well as three five man squads armed with automatic weapons and shotguns.

Next wave is the army. The army will arrive in 4 turns.

The swat arrive at the gate in armored vans while a third squad arrives at the pier. they are aware of all fighters now.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

This was bad. The humans were bringing in their armed forces, and T'kam had to dodge rifle fire, before throwing a plasma ball at one of the choppers, aiming for the cockpit of the vehicle, hoping to bring to down with one hit.

Attack away, T'kam ran for cover, activating her Av-Camo unit, disappearing form sight, slowly moving up to where Joel was.

(Two posts till Camo Unit turns off and enters recharge)

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota knew he couldn't take too much gunfire even if he had a regeneration trait. I have to risk it... he thought as he spun his scythe rapidly to block the gunfire like a shield. His eyes permanently changed red, swinging his scythe in the air towards Joel. A large cresent of dark energy was sent at the vampire. If one would see Sota closely, his eyes were vibrant with a crimson shard of red and a smug expression was on his face.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller quickly was fired at by armored humans with rifles after getting attention from the helicopter and with this he flipped through the air and landed on the ground after taking a few bullets to the chest. He shrugged off the pain and lifted his hammer setting it on his shoulder. He waited for a moment scanning his surroundings before lifting his hammer and slamming it down with great strength causing the earth to lift into the air towards the front gates where the armored humans would be shooting at him from. After this move was made he quickly used his super speed and moved straight for whatever human remained.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel went ethereal to avoid rifle fire on his way towards Sota. The energy cut down a few of his ethereal bats this amounted to a scar across his chest. He reformed 5 feet ahead of Sota with his blades primed to attack he would need to feed soon. If not on Sota then on the SWAT. The wounds would be bothersome if he didn't.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Moving closer to the vampire, T'kam dropped her cloak, and then lunged at him, hoping to surprise him with a sneak attack from behind. If she was quick, she could kill this creature, and then escape under the cover of darkness.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Sota looks over to his side to see that he was about to be struck by an attack from the vampire. Yet, he didn't have much time to make an attack himself, so Sota just barely manages to shadow-step away from the blades, several meters away from him.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller smirked seeing the humans start to scatter...

Ribgroveller decided it would be best to take care of the helicopters flying overhead. He came to a sliding stop before crashing into the gate. He looked up towards the helicopters overhead and jumped into the air flipping with his hammer before slamming his hammer into the pilot window of the helicopters hoping to land a blow. Once that was done he turn his attention to the other and leaped off the helicopter that got hit by his hammer and did the same thing to the other before landing the ground. He looked up at the helicopter seeing them lose control. He smirked before moving to the dock seeing more humans arrive.

[Steampunk Samurai]

The blade cut through joel's side with the sting of light. joel did his best to leap back with the wound. It seemed the alien had some sort of invisibility. There was no helping it now. He needed blood, the swat were being scattered by the massive hairy creature with the hammer. He leaped onto one who was unprepared, bleeding him dry. The small burns healed over fine, but the most joel could do about the one in his side was slow the bleeding. It didn't matter, he would go into blood rage soon. And then they would curse their existence.

The first SWAT chopper fell easily, but the gunner on the othe quickly raised his high caliber rifle firing off a single shot on The oncoming beast before going down.

The ground teams are on retreat. Army is hastened and will arrive next turn. Prepare for a heavy machinegun. In 5 turns a bombing run will level the field. There will be warning from joel, or if you have the sensory ability you will hear it.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Her blade connected, but did little damage, as the Vampire was able to get away and drain one of the human police officers, and that seemed to heal the monster. Knowing time was running out, T'kam threw a plasma ball at Joel, and then rushed him with her blades again, hoping to lop of his head or arm.

[Gummi Bunnies]

From a distance, Sota decided to go with a distanced attack, since it was a little hectic to try close-ranged battles. So, he swung his scythe a good amount of times to send many dark ripple waves at both T'kam and Joel. He also kept in mind of the one that had attacked a helicopter, which had fallen to the ground by now.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller knew that he couldn't take any more hits to his body or he would fall before long, none the less he was still upon and fighting. He stood there seeing the humans on the retreat, but knew him along with the others were about get something far worst than SWAT humans. He quickly moved his attention upon the fighters that had been fighting the entire time Ribgroveller had been fighting off the humans for them. Seeing the helicopters fall and then explode upon impact he walked forward setting his hammer upon his shoulder. This made Ribgroveller look badass as he moved towards the fighters shrugging off the pain he was enduring but due to his high inhumane endurance levels. It would take more than a few bullets to kill this beast.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel was, at this point, in a blood rage. He would be this way for a little while. It felt great, the euphoria of it all, his eyes turn red, and his pupils become slits. But there was no time to waste as joel became aware he darted at T'kam taking the plasma tossed his way then grabbing her arm as she attempted to stab him with that cursed blade. He swung her with his enhanced strength tossing her at Sota, who sent dark ripple waves at them. Hoping T'kam would take the hit for him.

The army truck arrived first, mounted with a heavy machinegun. It wouldn't fire just yet, no even soldiers feel shock at sights such as these, followed by panic where they'd fire at everything they could.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

The throw didn;t take T'kam by surprise, as Demons every once and a while would grab and throw her of she got to close for comfort.

She spun in mid-air, and slashed through the ripples sent at her, the light given from the plasma banishing the shadows. As she landed on her feet, T'kam activated her cloak, and moved towards the military truck, wanting to get as close as possible before striking.

[Gummi Bunnies]

-Sota Matari-
Not wanting to be caught in gunfire once again, Sota let his body sink into the ground in the form of darkness, travelling within the ground like a shadow. He waited for the right time to strike, either his opponents, the army truck, or even both at this rate.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller attention diverted from the fighters to the human army. He quickly shifted his stance to do a mega flip into the air dodging the fire landing upon the military truck and behind the attacking humans. Looks like he was just doing some clean work, and with this he slammed his hammer down upon the truck smashing it to bits before moving his attention upon the soldiers and with this he put his hammer upon his back and jumped down crushing a soldier before picking up and throwing other soldiers that were getting in his way before moving towards the soldier with the MG and ripping him off of it..

[Steampunk Samurai]

Seeing their trucks being destroyed the army sent in apache helicopters immediately firing upon joel and ribgroveller with rockets and machinegun fire.

Joel decided now that the army was getting a bit annoying and went over to the slingshot, activating it with one of his shadow blades as he stepped aboard being flung into the air, where he became ethereal flying over to one of the helicopters. After a few seconds it began to spin out and joel tore his way out as it hit the ground. Joel stood on all fours, full blood rage making him animalistic.

The remaining chopper focused on ribgroveller, as it sent paniced messaged for backup. Joel sniffed the air for T'kam and Sota.

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

Seeing the MG taken out, T'kam moved into the shadows and dropped her cloak, staying well out of sight. She would stick around, and maybe try to take the vampire out, but only if the chance arose. T'kam did not live as long as she did by being reckless.

[Gummi Bunnies]

-Sota Matari-
Not wanting to leave the protection of the darkness, Sota remained within the shadow in the ground, but let out many rays of darkness. These rays of darkness would lock onto anything near him, one aimed for T'kam, one aimed for Joel, and several that were aimed randomly.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller smirked using his super speed dodging the rocket and machinegun fire. Seeing one of the helicopters fall this made Ribgroveller more happy to be alive. He looked towards the animal like humanoid vampire and knew this battle was getting interesting. He shifted his feet to come to abrupt stop before using his speed once more drawing his hammer and prepared to swing upward at the animal-like humanoid vampire knowing he was on the same level as him and for this he could fight more better than before.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Joel blocked the beam from the shadows with his hand. The glove losing all abiliity to protect during the block, his hand was torn to pieces and made useless. But Joel still focused on ribgroveller who had re-joined the fight. It was beginning to look like Joel was going to die here again. With the wound at his side still bleeding and his hand destroyed. But still this rush was incredible. So joel took the hammer launching about ten feet and landing shakily on his feet.

Now it was his last move. First he summoned his swarm sending it to antagonize T'kam and Sota while he stood facing ribgroveller. One of his blades primed at his side. "Looks like this body is almost spent. But i lose more of them that way. So How about a bloody finale! C'mon all of you! Afraid of a mortally wounded vampire!"

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

With the shadow tendrils closing in, T'kam activated her blades, slicing through them, before moving around, ending up behind the vampire. With him taunting the other fighters, T'kam rushed forward, swinging both blades upwards, aiming to chop him up.

[Gummi Bunnies]

-Sota Matari-

Sota immediately rises out of the shadows he hid within the ground, surrounding by high levels of darkness that would protect him from the swarm the vampire had sent at them. Keeping the long distance, Sota swung his scythe several times to send a dense array of dark energy waves at all three fighters, they were all in his range for sure.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller saw the other two fighters appear from no where and with that one of the fighters threw sonic waves at him. He quickly backed dodging the attacks and rolled to a stop. He looked at the other fighters and used his super speed to circle around the one that was using ranged attacks and for that once he came behind the fighter he swung his hammer putting all his strength into the swing.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Hearing the noise of the alien's blades, joel jumped into a roll, narrowly avoiding a swing. "Looks like we got a taker!" He yelled rushing T'kam with his one hand aimed at her head. sending a fist that wound punch through a tank. He had one more turn of bloodlust, then he'd be done. His brother always did say he was too reckless. Bastard always was a smartass.

With only the skill born through years of fighting did T'kam move her head out of the way in time to dodge the strike by backflipping, throwing a plasma ball at the vampire before backing off. This wasn't the battle she was looking for.

Once he could only see two of the fighters in his range and sight, Sota knew that the other one was going for a sneak attack. As soon as he heard something behind him, he quickly held his scythe in a defensive stance to fully block the hammer that would had definitely injure him in one hit. Clearly this one was stronger than him, Sota could tell. So, he instantly manifested a shadow monster that would go and immediately try to tackle this opponent down. At least he would get some time to prepare an attack, his scythe letting out darkness as if it were a catalyst.

Seeing the Hammer blocked, Ribgroveller smirked seeing the fighter summon one of his toys. He was tackled by the beast but rolled over smashing Ribgroveller's hand into is face. When it came to beast verse beast, Ribgroveller would win almost all the time. Ribgroveller looked up towards the fighter seeing him prepare for an attack and for this Ribgroveller lifted his hammer upon his shoulder and leaped high into the air. Once in the air he shifted his hand to have the hammer high above him and with this he came back to Earth but this time he had more speed and strength that would equal that of a meteor.

Suddenly Joel heard it, the low hum of the stealth bomber as it came close. It was about to level the field. It left him distracted as well, leaving him open to the full force of the plasma, sending him to the dirt. Left mostly dead and weakened, with a bomber ready to level the place, Joel could do nothing else but laugh. He laughed loud and hard, so everyone could hear his joy. "This is great! Just like my brother said! Death is an amazing feeling you should try it! In fact! You'll all be able to in a minute or so when the bomber levels the place! You won't be able to hear it of course, but it's there! HAHAHA!" Joel felt himself slipping, but still he laughed at how right his brother was. He really didn't know when to quit. Of course, even now he was preparing for a resurface. he'd be back soon enough.

The vampire was near dead, and if it was telling the truth, then the bombing run would finish the job. Time to go. the Elite thought to herself as she made like a bat outta hell from the amusement park, her camo helping greatly in getting away.

-Sota Matari-
There was quite a lot happening at the same time, it was pretty hectic. As he was about to be plundered by a hammer that would probably shatter his skull if it wasn't for the demonic traits, he could hear the vampire laugh out something about a bomb. And I thought that Kaika's gone through weirder...well, nothing compared to that illusion demon, but still pretty damn crazy... he thought as he suddenly surrounded himself in intense dark energies, like a sphere of darkness protecting him. Solid as it's own kind of supernaturally durable material, this protecting darkness was just enough to hold off the powerful hammer. The moment the hammer made contact with the protecting darkness, sharp and long spikes from this darkness sprouted out, mostly to either push this opponent away or even impale him. Whatever was the case, he knew it had to be one or the other. As for the supposed bomb, he knew this barrier would outlast the blast, but if he were caught in the explosion, the darkness around him could always slowly regenerate him back to shape.

[Dire Hoef]

Ribgroveller grunted at the sight of spikes coming from his attacker's shield. In the midst of this attack he heard a low humming noise of planes moving towards the area. He knew that vampire meant the low humming noise and for this when the attack failed he jumpped backwards. He turned tail and used his super strength to jump away into the night. He at least made away with his body intact.

[Steampunk Samurai]

Seeing his foes vanish in one way or another as the bomber came ever closer really solidified the end his fight. So Joel sent part of his ethereal body up in the form of a bat. It was hidden against the black of night, and would be near untraceable. It was Joel's fast route to regeneration. Without it, Joel would take years to re-form. But with it, just a matter of days. Joel died before this, many times in fact. Though in far less brutal and strange ways. But without the holy relics, he could never be entirely destroyed. But for now, he'd lost.

As the bomber released it's volatile payload onto the landscape, and Joel's body was incinerated, the single ethereal bat flew far and fast. Once it was a fair distance away, it took physical form once more. As a single hand laying in the woods, but soon darkness will gather to greet one of it's formerly fallen masters into a new life.


(So I'm out. Whether you three continue is up to you. I'll keep tabs on the fight, and possibly mix it up with the occasional obstacle. But as of now the fight is lost for me.)

[Thelonewanderer]

(T'kam Ar'lok)

T'kam had stuck around to see the blast, and the explosion, promtly left the battlefield. Her target was the vampire, and it was unlikely it survived the explosion, so she simply walked away. No needed to fight the others that were there. Either they left or stayed, and she didn't care which way.

So, T'kam walked off into the night, scrolling through the battlelog, looking for more challenges. She had a big battle coming up soon, and she needed all the training she could get.

(Im out. Its down to Hoef and Gummi)

-Sota Matari-
The darkness flashed away from around him after the explosion, Sota was still safe after the explosion. "He couldn't had gone that far..." Sota mutters to himself as he shifts himself into the form of shadows, those shadows hastily tracking down where his remaining opponent could be at.
