The year is 2020, and Earth is on fire.



A group called the E.I. at the beginning of the year began secretly kidnapping and training people to help them take over the world. These people were regular members of society, teachers, students, criminals, if it looked like they could be swiped without any real retaliation, they were. The world was none the wiser.


Several such recruits were collected from the general population and chosen to be trained underneath the three founders of this mysterious group. A school gym teacher named Tyler Haak, a large viking looking mercenary named Otto White, a former U.S. military infantryman Maine, and Daisuke a giant pervert/former yakuza member. After three months of training under the First, Second, and Third founders, the secret facility in which they were being trained was attacked by factions within the E.I. They hit fast and hard, sending the whole facility into chaos. Leading the group of trained E.I. recruits out of the facility, the Third founder led the small group to North Korea, where the rest of the E.I. forces had gathered. In a stunning display of brute force, hundreds of E.I. VTOL troop transport gunships assaulted the capitol, took over it and the nearby military base, and then executed the dictator.

However, the group of recruits were repulsed by this actions, and Tyler, Daisuke lashed out at the Second, prompting him to kill Daisuke. Daisuke was only saved by a chance, as a passing E.I. infantryman assisted burying Daisuke, Daisuke's consciousness escaped into the man, making him a target of interest for the Second founder. The Second founder had Tyler, Adam (The E.I. infantryman), another man who was recruited by the E.I. who vaguely reminded everyone of a russian, and Alkura (the daughter of the third founder). In a display of defiance (facilitated only by the Third Founder's intervention), Otto White and Lazaro (A crazed murderer who was only assisting them for the pure off chance they might get to kill someone) led a daring rescue of the prisoners, escaping to Sryia with them on a jet.

After they landed, Otto talked them through the Airport, calling in a favor from the commanding officer of the troops stationed there. Otto took the group to his home, and coincidentally, the place he buried his family. The group rested there for a day, but unfortunately they were sold out by the very commanding officer that Otto had called a favor from. A team of E.I. troops trained to track deserters followed them, and then they attacked in the night. The battle was brief but bloody, and it was discovered the very next day, in a letter from the Third founder, that the troops were all cloned, an attempt from the E.I. to make soldiers loyal, easy to train, equip, and recruit.

The group fled in the VTOL jet provided by the Third, guided to some mysterious facility by a man they only know as "Deanta" supposedly a trusted ally and teacher of the Third founder. As they got off the VTOL jet, they were greeted by a huge cheering crowd. Thousands of people who had hidden from the E.I.'s secret influence in underground societies had gathered into a single united rebellion, and this group of rag tag E.I. rebels were their largest hope in defeating the group. As it turned out, while the E.I. had a righteous goal, the goal did not justify the means through which they planned to execute it. With much of the world under the control of the E.I. (Facilitated by the E.I. implanting trained members of the group into the governments of nations worldwide, and then using their influence to convince them to join the International Nations Union, or INU, with the newly formed nation of the E.I. at the head, and major military superpowers like Russia and the U.S. backing up the group with the full might of their military.

In a surprise move, the rebellion turned on this coalition, and moving out from facilities all over the world they attack the E.I., intent on freeing the world from this tyranny. The E.I. rebels themselves spearheaded an assault straight into the main E.I. base, an attack that was wiped out, but still managed to distract the E.I. long enough for the rebels to defeat the E.I. in other places around the world.

Feeling threatened by this, the E.I. detonated the world's supply of nuclear weapons, reducing the population from 7.4 billion to three million in minutes. Those people who survived were transported, as if by an act of some deity, to a new world. Some land in deserts, some in forests, some in plains, some alone, and some in groups, but all appear, alive and no worse then they were on Earth. Something is strange about this world though, while it looks like Earth, and the animals do as well, the air is tingling with an energy that was not prevalent in society before, and all over the world these people have begun to realize that they can now use something strange and previously impossible, magic. In the background secret forces seem to be manipulating the situation though, and somewhere the immortals that survived the nuclear blasts are still alive.

It is now up to humanity to rebuild.

GM Post

As the ship landed, several soldiers quickly appeared and walked onboard. All clad in leather armor sword at their sides and shields on their arms, the group quickly found their way to where the former E.I. members stood on the deck, gathering to leave. The first man, in front of the other two, quickly addressed the group. "We'll be making our way quickly to one of the fortresses outside of our city. The troops you requested are there, along with all the needed materials that you requested ahead of time. Just mount the horses and follow the soldiers ahead, they'll take you to the fort." Nearby, a group of horses and a smaller group of mounted soldiers holding their reigns stood in a small column. As the group mounted up, the soldiers at the head would take off at a gallop. Unlike the streets of the capitol, the streets of the merchant city were clear, as horse and carriage traffic (as well as the occasional motor vehicle) were commonplace on the streets. The group made good time, and within tewnty minutes the group had managed to find their way out of the city, and were off at a gallop down the road. Within a further hour, though eventually they slowed to a trot for the sake of the horses and the less experienced riders of the group, the group found themselves at the fort. Bristling with troops and defenses, the stone fort was large enough to hold more then one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers at any one time, mostly due to the underground catacomb like barracks and living quarters. The defense above, while not able to field one hundred and fifty thousand defenders, were large enough to hold a third of that number. Assembled in the parade grounds at the center of the fortress were large numbers of soldiers could be assembled. In fact, as the group entered the walls of the fortress, and were allowed to dismount, a large number of soldiers were assembled, camped out on the parade grounds, weapons stacked together in piles as the troops mingled in groups while eating their breakfast.

Nearby an officer stood, and he quickly approached the group, standing at attention and clasping his hands in front of him. He looked rather confused to start with, but overcame it and a disciplined look returned to his face. "I'm the commander in charge of this force. I was told your group had a plan. My troops are at your disposal. We're only a thousand strong, but we're ready for combat." The man's look of confusion appeared on his face again. "Pardon, but I was told you were lead but a blue human woman, but I don't see her among you.... I'd like to discuss your plans so that my troops can help you prepare, has someone been sent in her stead to lead us?"[/fieldbox]
 
Tyler Haak


Tyler moved along with the group of soldiers. She mounted a horse as she was getting even more used to in this new world. It looked like there would be more and more travel by horseback. The soldiers took off, Tyler followed them at the same pace until they were able to reach a fort nearly two hours later. When they finally arrived, Tyler dismounted and handed her horses reigns over to some guy who took them since he apparently knew where to take the horses. Wasting no time, a commander ran up to introduce himself and get things started.

His words were a little shocking for a few reasons. A thousand troops? Did they really think they would need a thousand soldiers for this? And if they had so many men, why again did they need this team to join? Couldn't they just send an army? Even with powers, as long as the ruffians weren't immortal like the E.I. team, then they could be taken down if outnumbered. These thoughts were pushed back a moment as the commander grew confused and questioned their leader. Me? Tyler frowned in thought, glancing between Otto and Daisuke in disbelief. Leader? You've gotta be kidding me.

"All of our decisions are made as a team." Tyler placed her hands on her hips as she spoke up, and with a sigh, let her heat die down so her blue hue would slowly return as it always did without the warmth to keep it at bay. She took a small step forward toward the officer. "Everyone is involved in the plans and discussions so we can go ahead and start as long as everyone is ready."
 
Daisuke Hirragi

As they were met by the group Daisuke saw the group and immediately grabbed at his groin remembering the pain he went through last time. "Damn it, not more horses. The galloping and hard ass sattle crush my little Daisukes." He begrudgingly got on top of the horse and followed everyone as they galloped along.

Two hours went by and at this point Daisuke is sitting kindergarten style on the horse. The soldiers looked at him oddly as they rode past. Daisuke laughed pointed at his junk, "it's unconventional but my balls arn't hurting so I call it a win." Everyone stopped and Daisuke slid off his horse, grabbing his but when he hit the floor. "Ow! damnit! Can I get something softer? Maybe a sheep or an alpaca? Adam has such a scrawny butt."

The head guy ran up asking for Tyler aka the one in charge. Before Daisuke could say anything Tyler said that there was no leader that everything was done as a team. He smiled placed a hand on her shoulder and said. "That's right Colonel Sanders. We're a team. A." Daisuke squeezed Tyler's shoulder and forgot what he was talking about. He squeezed her shoulder once more, mesmerized by the softness and firmness of her body. He suddenly snapped himself out of it and released her. He coughed and backed up. "My bad. Um just, my bad."

Otto White
---

He rode in silence to their destination after being escorted by the soldiers, watching Daisuke make a bit of an ass of himself as he sat cross legged on the horse. When they arrived at the massive fort Otto was a bit hesitant to go inside seeing as how they were dealing with earth movers and this base was built on top of a cave system. The commander of the outpost addressed them and inquired as to the whereabouts of their blue leader which made Otto snort a bit as Tyler returned her skin to it's normal color. He thought more on the sheer number of troops here and thought about how much of a disaster it would be if this whole base was lost. He noted what Daisuke was doing and gave a low growl of warning in the back of his throat for both the fact they had reached an agreement on the airship and the fact that was a little...wrong to be feeling Tyler up like that even if he was just touching her shoulder, wrong that it was clearly not invited by Tyler and wrong because it sent a very different message to those around them then what needed to be seen.
 
Tyler


Tyler thought that she'd made it pretty clear that she wasn't the leader of this group, and she had never once before said that she was in charge – to anyone. So it irked her just a bit when Otto snorted after the officer addressed her as such. The irritation was evident in her expression when she looked Otto's way. Rude. That same annoyed look slid over to Daisuke and his hand on her shoulder. Despite all the snarky and sarcastic words that came to mind for the both of them, this wasn't really the time to show discord within the ranks.

Even so, Otto made some kind of weird growling sound that made her wonder what his problem was. Was he that annoyed about someone calling her the leader instead of him or what? More snarky thoughts bubbled up, but she pushed them back down for now. On top of that, Daisuke was feeling up her shoulder for some reason. It's a shoulder, Daisuke, not a boob… are you really that starved for human touch? She thought with a sigh. We all need to get laid. How long's it been? She considered this for a brief moment, while waiting for the officer to continue. Almost had the chance, and then Alkura showed up. After this mission, we need to just take a team trip to the local brothel and get this out of the way. Alkura'll stay home, of course…

Daisuke Hirragi

Daisuke caught his breath, he got a little to excited from touching Tyler's shoulder. Not only that he felt the cold glare that Otto was throwing his way. Daisuke turned, and made an apologetic face twords Otto. He mouthed the words. "My bad, it's been a while." He cleared his throat and stood at attention. Waiting for the Generalisimo to accept Tyler's words and move on.

Daisuke felt Otto's glare, he knew he fucked up since Otto made a noise like a pissed off Bear. He kept his focus up front trying to ignore the whole Otto was burning into the back of his skull. 'Damnit' he thought 'Otto's gonna throw a couple of friendly fire fireballs my way during this operation I just know it.'
 
Otto White

He ignored Daisuke for now and stepped forward towards the commander of the base. "She is right, none of our decisions or plans are made by one person and are made via a group collaboration." He spoke as his hands were crossed behind his back while he gave a raised brow at Tyler's expression of irritation not knowing what he had did to earn the look when all that he had done was snort at how everyone here seemed to assume Tyler was the leader of the group without asking her if she was or not but he wasn't about to try and guess the inner workings of Tyler's mind at the moment. He turned his attention back to the commander. "As such you and your men will be working with all three of us." Otto spoke in his quiet and firm tone while standing next to Tyler and looking at the commander.

The commander was about to respond to the three of them when the ground began to shake, men and equipment went down or seeked to grab something to steady themselves. It was several minutes before the shaking finally stopped, the commander turned from Tyler, Otto and Daisuke to approach the edge of the wall to look down on the base. "Is everyone alright!" He called out to the men below. Hands went up to show who was alright and who was not but before to long the shaking began again but to a lesser extent, soon holes began to form inside the base out of which raiders began pouring out! The very same raiders that Tyler, Daisuke and Otto were sent to deal with. Armed with spears, swords, axes and any other type of weapon they could find they began to attack the unprepared forces inside the base, outside the base large boulders began to impact the walls as earth movers who were part of the raider group began to attack as well as the few who had also entered inside the base from the ground and were now fighting. The commander turned to the three who had arrived to help. "Help me repel this attack I beg of you!" He spoke before drawing his own blade and jumping into the fray on the ground floor the fortress.

daisuke Hirragi

Daisuke was listening to everyone talk about teamwork and how no one is the leader when something started happening. Daisuke felt the ground start to tremble, slowly at first then violently. The shaking was so intense it knocked soldiers to the ground, the structure of the base crumbled and people fell from their perches. Daisuke saw a few soldiers fall over the side of the base, He was gone in a flash. He appeared near a falling soldier then disappeared and appeared near the other soldier a few feet away. He repeated this 3 more times and finally brought the 5 soldiers back with him in front of the Commander.

Daisuke was about to make a pun about getting things shaking but before he could holes appeared out of nowhere. The holes were filled with the enemy climbing out of the holes like demons escaping from Hell. Daisuke looked at his comrades, "shit so much for the plan right. These douche wibblers just couldn't wait for a proper ass kicking." Daisuke turned when the commander pleaded with them to help to save the base and his men. "You can count on us Colonel Sanders." Daisuke didn't wait for any orders from Otto or Tyler instead he went to the aid of the unarmed solders.

Daisuke teleported to the entrance of the base and found the armory, which was full of weapons. he grabbed an arm load and teleported to the front of the base. He Teleported to a group of soldiers, "here arm yourselves and fight back." Daisuke repeated this process a few more times until the armory was empty. He was winded and fell to his knee took in shallow breaths. "Damn, it feels like I just ran a marathon. i'm beat." He stood up cracked his neck, drew his blades and stood there in the shade. He felt his fangs sharpen, his horns grew from Adam's head, his claws and tailed returned. He shook off his fatigue, and yelled out. "alright, lets party."

Daisuke jumped into the fray arms and tail swinging wildly cutting enemy attackers as he passed. he made his way to the wall when a huge bolder crashed into the wall knocking him back into a group of enemy attackers. Daisuke landed on his back, when he opened his eyes he was surrounded by enemies. He saw a man with a huge hammer reach back ready to drive his hammer into Daisuke's head. "Shit, this is gonna hurt."
 
Tyler


Before the officer could say anything, the ground began to quake. Tyler automatically widened her stance and crouched down onto one knee to prevent falling over. "The hell is happening? Earthquake?" She glanced around, watching for any falling debris until the shaking stopped. With a frown, the woman slowly stood back up but was greeted with another wave of vibrations. Against her gut, she'd realized what was really going on too late. As soon as an area of floor started to crumble, Tyler instantly turned to shout at her team. "Earthbenders!" Unable to help but using the Avatar term that Daisuke had helped remind them of at the beginning of their trip, she tried her best to give a warning.

The call was too late though, as raiders were already starting to climb out from beneath the floor. There wasn't even a chance to move when the ground beneath Tyler's feet gave way instantly. She was able to grapple at the edge of the hole, dangling for only a second before a pulling on both her legs dragged her, snarling like an enraged beast, down into the dark.

After only a few seconds, more animalistic growling ensued, followed by a chorus of tortured screams. Fire exploded up through the hole she'd vanished through, as well as a few nearby entrances from connecting tunnels. Anyone left in those three or four tunnels would be charred. A moment later, Tyler's flaming hands were dragging back out of the earth. She was covered in fire – massive and violently thrashing about her skin and hair – like Marvel's Sindr come to life. Tyler… did not like to be taken by surprise.

Her burning gaze landed on Daisuke's supine form, surround by men. The woman took off at a sprint, and did something she'd always wanted to try. When she got close enough, she pushed off the ground and went flying, feet first, into the man armed with a gigantic hammer. Her two-foot flying kick shoved the man forward so hard that he tripped over Daisuke and sailed face-first into the ground a few feet away. Tyler didn't wait for the raiders' shock to wear off, grabbing one of them by the back of the neck and just letting him burn in her scotching palm, and kicking the one to her right into the one beside him so they'd fall over each other.

Otto White

He had felt the ground shake and rumble, he had planted his spear into the ground to steady himself while the shaking was going on. After the initial round had stopped the two ravens had taken flight. He watched Daisuke move as well as Tyler to go assist him when he began to be overwhelmed. He pulled out his spear from the ground and jumped down into the fray, he did not yet use his own powers as he saw Tyler fighting with fire and planting her two feet into the brute of a man that was trying to attack Daisuke. Otto didn't have much time to focus on the two as some of the raiders began to focus on him, the first few were simple men armed with simple blades, the first was taken by a thrust to his breast as Otto's spear no doubt pierced his lung, the second had Otto's spear slashed across his throat and the third was taken from the gut. He began to move towards Tyler and Daisuke assisting the defenders where he could, any holes he passed he fired a blast of fire down using his hand to make a ball of fire and send it down to burn out an incoming attackers. He reached Tyler and Daisuke as the two Tyler had knocked down, using his foot to crush the neck of one of the two and the other he drove his spear into the man's chest. He moved over above Daisuke and grabbed him by his shirt and hauled him up to his feet, he turned towards a group trying to surround them and inhaled deeply, a churring hissing sound would of been heard by Tyler and Daisuke since they were so close to him as it seemed to be coming from his chest. He exhaled and a violent whirl of fire exited his mouth and throat burning the oncoming attackers that were to close and pushing back those that could feel the heat, several strands of saliva dripped from Otto's mouth and caught parts of the ground on fire.

Cal & Lucien

The rumbling from below surprised the pair of men. Lucien and Cal looked around, and upon seeing the violent situation develop below in the courtyard. Lucien and Cal were gone in a flash, reappearing below. Lucien was like a human flamethrower, using a combination of wind and fire to direct and burn huge swathes of raiders while fighting any who dared to get close with a sword he retrieved from a fallen raider. Cal by comparison, was directly involved in protecting a large portion of troops, dropping into the center of a large group of the friendly soldiers and dropping his shield around. Cal also fought with his sword any enemy troops that came inside the shield, allowing the men inside to get organized and prepare to fight back. Nearby, from the barracks of the fort, out charged the garrison of troops. Barely more than five hundred, but unlike the current force of friendly troops, and unlike the raiders, they presented a united force bristling with spears and shields, pulled into a tight semi circle formation and marching into the writhing mass of enemy and friendly troops.

Alkura

Alkura retreated to the wall, weaponless, as the combat began. Chaos was abound as a battle began, and the enemy appeared all over the ground, swarming out to battle the defenders inside. Immediately Alkura notcied that their intelligence on the situation had been poor. If this force was indeed the raiders, then the number of them was definitely overestimated, and their skill was also overestimated.

A sound of evil laughter caused Alkura to whip around from her position on the parapet. Her view was that of three men, surrounding the poor unarmed girl. They were hulking masses of men, wielding axes. They spread out, ensuring that she was surrounded without a way out. Alkura glared defiantly as the men advanced, crouching low. With no way out she would have to fight her way out.

The first swing came from the man to her left, and she ducked out of the way and down, turning to face the man. She did this just in time to have an axe pass over her head from behind her. Alkura rolled forward and right into the legs of the man that she was facing. The man tripped, already slightly off balance from the force of his swing, and went over the side of the wall, yelling. However, the two men she was still facing just repositioned, ensuring she couldn't escape. As Alkura went to rise, a boot in her gut ensured she didn't, causing her to collapse back onto the floor. Alkura attempted to roll away, and managed to just barely, an axe impacting right next to her arm and inflicting a short but deep cut in her shoulder in the process. Alkura clutched her arm and let out a yell in pain, but a boot planted on her chest knocked the wind out of her, and made sure she wasn't going to be able to move. Alkura saw the flash of a leg out of hte corner of her eye, it must have been the second man, and Alkura heard a snap as his kick landed in her ribs. As Alkura looked up, again she heard the evil laugh of the man holding her down with his foot. The man leaned down, and gripped her around her throat, moving his foot and hoisting Alkura up into the air. Alkura's legs dangled and she kicked and struggled as the man laughed, starting to choke her to death.[/fieldbox]
 
Tyler


Otto worked his way over, helping her take out the men surrounding Daisuke. She was thankful for it so she could jump back into action and start taking out the raiders in her path. This was definitely wrong. "It's a trap…" She mumbled to herself, as she maced a guy in the face. She glanced around, locking eyes with Otto for a brief moment. "We were set up." As the words left her mouth, she caught sight of Alkura on the far end, surrounded and getting her ass kicked.

If her fire had been bad before, it was doubling in size now. Wind rushed around her, feeding the flames. That strange, motherly instinct kicked in again, blanking the woman's mind along with her expression. She was across the room in seconds, getting a handful of hair on the head of the man holding the child up. She yanked roughly, pulling him back and forcing him to free Alkura from his grip. Tyler then proceeded to slam the man's head into the nearest wall. Once, twice, three times, four times… The lack of emotion on her face could easily be described as highly disturbing and quite terrifying as she continued to smash the man's head repeatedly until very little was left of it except the hair she was holding onto.

During her mini-rampage, Christian slipped in from wherever he'd been hiding and scooped Alkura right up in his arms before taking off with her. He trusted that Tyler could handle the rest, and honestly, he feared getting too close to her while she was…freaking out. Christian held onto Alkura, dodging people left and right as he tried to find a way to get her out of the base. Meanwhile, Tyler finished her rampage off by literally cutting open and manually disemboweling one of Alkura's attackers, and cutting the head off the last one.

Daisuke Hirragi

Daisuke was saved suddenty when the MC Hammer suddenly fell forward stepping all over Daisuke. "what the.." He looked up to see Tyler Barbque an attacker and Otto joined in breathing dragon fire at the rest of them. "Holy crap!" Daisuke said as he was suddenly pulled up by Otto. "Otto White my hero." he joked as he watched Otto's back repelling attackers from attacking him. "Hey Tyler, I.." Tyler suddenly disappeared in a flash of flames. she cleared the distance and was suddenly infront of Alkura, destroying a huge guy. Tyler looked like she was busy and didn't need anyone getting in her way especially if they didn't want to end up with a hole in their face.

Daisuke watched as Tyler's brother scurried out of nowhere and picked up Alkura who was bleeding badly. "shit." Daisuke smacked Otto's back. "you got this bro, I gotta play medic." Daisuke disappeared and reappeared infront of Tyler's brother and Alkura. "Hold on" He said as they all disappeared and reappeared in the armory. Daisuke pulled out some material from the hoody sweatshirt and immediately wrapped Alkura's arm. "Shit that's a lot of blood. Start healing kid." He said as he applied pressure to the wound to slow the bleeding. He wrapped her arm and tied it tightly.

Daisuke looked to Tyler's brother as he heared the screams of people dying outside and huge boulders hitting the side of the stronghold. "shit, I can't get a break. Tyler's brother watch this little girl. For your sake don't let her out of your sight." He walked to the door and closed it locking it from the inside. "don't let anyone you don't know inside." He teleported to the other side of the door and took off running. He got to the front just intime to see a huge boulder about to crush 12 guards. "fuck me." He said as he teleported ontop of the boulder and teleported it right outside the strongholds border. he jumped off as the boulder which continued to fly into the distance. He teleported to the gate and looked for the guys who were throwing them. He placed his hands on his knees as he caught his breath. "that was heavy. but it's time these fuck nuts got what's coming to them."

Daisuke spotted more men coming out of the tunnels he dove in, as he did his form shifted to the demon. Daisuke landed at the lip of the hole and with a grand swipe from his arm he cut three men in half. He roared signaling to his teammates that it was Beast mode time. He jumped into the tunnel and slashed at everything in his path, he headed through to the other side. 'holy crap this is insane we can control the beast 100 times better than before, my body is so light and easy to move.' The magic in the air allowed Daisuke to fully use up the stored power he had trouble with before.
 
Otto White
---

He was once again alone on a battlefield, he saw Cal and Lucien doing their part as Tyler and Daisuke left him to take care of other matters such as Alkura. He looked into the sea of death and blood that surrounded him then to where Cal and Lucien stood with the gathering forces of the garrison and began to move to them. His spear struck true and fast as many raiders fell to his blade, he pulled many away from the garrison's forces that were still fighting who began to fall in line behind Otto as he made a hole for him and the men behind him who were also now on a moving fight so that they could reach the rest of their forces.
---
These men who began to follow Otto were just peasants, militia formed in haste when professional soldiers were nowhere to be found. Untrained except how to swing a blade and hold a shield if they could be given one, the days and weeks leading up to now had been unnerving to them especially after the first force the king had sent, noble knights who hadn't once spoken to or engaged with them and who had seemingly been wiped out by these very same raiders who were attacking them now. To them it had seemed hopeless as the first holes had appeared in the ground but at their most hopeless many who had prayed to the gods had seemingly been answered. First a daemon who had appeared before many of their wounded, some had screamed and cried out in terror thinking the lord of the dead had come to claim their souls but instead they ended up in safety behind their own lines, protected from the onslaught and when the daemon had seemingly met his match and was to be killed and angel wreathed in flames appeared to protect him while a one eyed giant with golden hair that could breathe fire fought his way to them and lifted the daemon up from the ground as both the angel and daemon left the one eyed giant's side. Next the giant began to fight to the two mages protecting their allies with flame and magic shield but he did not abandon them to their fates, every defender he passed that still belonged to the world of the living he saved and in turn they joined him in his battle to their allies. His spear weaved among the raiders coloring his hair and skin red with blood and in turn they wished to fight like the giant did. Their lack of skill made up for in the arrant savagery as they struck at the raiders when and wherever they could along the path behind the giant, they too becoming coated in the slick gore of the ones who had dared to attack them in their sanctuary, who dared challenge their claim, the safety and well being of their families!
---
Otto, unaware of the thoughts of the men behind him, broke through the last of the raiders trying to keep him and said men from reaching where Lucien and Cal were rallied with the rest of the garrison of the fort, cuts and wounds on his body sizzling shut as a mix of his and his enemies blood dripped off of his skin and spear as the militia members behind him poured through before the raiders could close the line, they formed up into the semicircle of fresh troops, their bloodied bodies and weapons contrasting to the clean appearances of their allies. Two lines formed, one of the raiders and earth movers inside the fort and the other being made of militia and garrison troops and in the middle stood Otto, Cal and Lucien but both lines dared not advance for varying reasons. For the raiders before them stood two incredibly powerful mages and a giant and all three seemed to be straight out of myth told to them by their parents as children. For the defenders they had not know these three men before now but they seemed to be on their side but with their commander seemingly dead or missing they had no leadership to push them forward. Otto turned his back to the enemy and faced the combined militia and garrison troops who had yet to attack. "Your king and your people have their eyes squarely on this place, to watch what you men are capable of. Now is your time to make your names in history! To show them, your people and
them, your enemy what it means to tarnish this land with their filthy boots!" Otto called out to them as his hair began to spark and turn to embers and fire began to spread along his body much as it had on Tyler at the beginning of the battle. "FIGHT HERE WITH ME AND LIVE IMORTAL IN THE HALLS OF THE GODS AS HEROES AND LEGENDS!" Otto called out as his voice was augmented by the fire as he turned and pointed his now burning spear towards the raiders. "NOW CHARGE AND DESTROY THEM TO THE LAST!" Otto cried out as he charged towards the raider line.
 
Tyler & Christian


"How bad is this?" Christian asked, taking over for Daisuke to apply pressure. Despite his training with the E.I., brief training, he still didn't think he'd much use fighting out there. His powers were still weak and inconsistent and his motivation to kill, unlike his sister's, was nowhere to be found. Christian nodded to Daisuke before the demon locked them inside the armory.

Once Tyler had finished with Alkura's attackers, she made her way through any raider she came across, downing men in an instant with her trusty mace, she left a trail of bloody bodies and burning ground in her wake. As the groups began to move, a shift in the area was evident when the soldiers, lead by Otto, made their way across the fort to the group that Lucien and Cal had been amassing.

Tyler followed slowly behind, inflicting brutal judgement on the raiders that got in her way. There had always been a natural chaos associated with her fire use, which is why she rarely used it. When giving over to this power, she felt out of control of her logic and fought instinctually instead. The wounds she gave were not simply to kill or immobilize, they were specifically made to cause pain and fear in the moments before death. She made no moves that would only incapacitate, instead going for a lethal move every time. Crushing someone's windpipe with her foot here so they'd suffocate, aiming for a major artery there for the hemorrhage, a puncture wound to the lung, blunt force trauma of the chest to create cardiac tamponade.

She was between Otto's garrison and the formation of raiders when someone took the opportunity her turned back gave and Tyler was struck through with a sword which pushed out of the right side of her chest. Not that it would cause a problem, but the sudden pain brought her logic back in such a rush that her flames died out instantly and she blinked in thought about the havoc she'd been wreaking. Like some sort of monster. She stood in silence for a moment, and her attacker did not move for uncertainty of whether his strike had been true or not. The thoughtful expression on her face remained as her skin slowly shifted back to the blue color and still she and attacker didn't move.

In the near distance, Otto could be heard giving his speech to the men. He really was the more natural leader. Why anyone had thought Tyler was taking that position was a mystery to her especially when she didn't even consider herself a necessary part of this group, let alone one who was fit to lead it. She was so tired already. Tired of all this fighting and fleeing and spending each day like she wouldn't make it to the next. For a moment, she wondered if it would just be easier to let herself get taken out right here.

The attacker at her back, tired of waiting to see if his victim would fall, put a foot on Tyler's back and pushed with it until the woman was free from his blade. She stumbled forward a few steps, then stopped to take in a deep breath through her penetrated lung. But it was already healing so Tyler casually reached down to unhook Alkura's sword from her hip. She spun suddenly, and with her left hand sliced clean through her attacker's skull right along the eyeline. He fell in front of his line of raiders and she faced that line, with her own allies in the near distance at her back. Tyler turned her back on the raider troop so she could walk to her own group. She was nearly there when Otto's speech could be heard coming to an end on a very dramatic note.

Instead of wasting her time walking the rest of the way there, Tyler stopped and reattached Alkura's sword to her hip and secured her mace to her back. She unhooked the twin ring swords from her belt and tossed them into the air once to test them. The moment Otto yelled the charge, Tyler launched the ring swords at the raider's line, pushing them even faster with her wind. They sliced through a couple unfortunate men, but they weren't done yet. With her wind, she could direct them as she wanted, and the rings circled back around to aim for two more unsuspecting souls. Her individual onslaught continued without her having to even take a step forward while Otto and the garrison began their charge.

Daisuke Hirragi

Daisuke was making his way through the tunnel when it started to act weird. He stopped and felt the tunnel shake, "Shit don't tell me." Daisuke turned to see the tunnel was started to cave in from where he entered. "SHIT!" Daisuke dropped to all fours and sprinted tword the exit, he passed several raiders ignoring them as he ran for his life. Raiders realized what was happening and started to run as they were being buried alive. Daisuke could see the light, he ran faster and faster. The tunnel was falling all around him he was just about to reach the exit when it started collapsing.

Daisuke Teleported out of the exit, barely making it. he looked around and saw that there was a man standing with several boulders surrounding him, as well as a dozen or so raiders. "oh, your the prick that keeps throwing shit. Well i got something that i need to say to you, you fucking piece of shit bastard cunt slut douc..." A boulder the size of Daisuke's head crashed into the back of his head knocking him to the floor and unconscious. The Earth bender started laughing as he walked over to the fallen Demon, he placed his hand in the air summoning another boulder.

He had it hovering over Daisuke's head and slammed it down. Just as the boulder was about to hit his head the body disappeared. the earth user looked around confused when he was suddenly face to face with the Demon. The demon slammed a powerful fist into his midsection. The blow was enough to knock the earth user out cold. "hmph, it'll take more than a blow to the head to take out the number one tag team of this group."

Adam Kane

Adam was now in control and cracked his neck as he eyed the dozen or so raiders who were on their way to help their fallen comrade. "bring it." Adam rushed forward, fists balled up and landing punches like a pro. He delivered a jab to one raider that sent him flying into another one, he delivered another cross to the closest one, knocking him to the ground. He teleported behind another one and punched him in the back of the head knocking him out. He teleported underneath another one and delivered an amazing uppercut that sent him flying skyward. Adam continue delivering punches until he was standing in the middle of the a bunch of unconscious raiders.

"hmph, no problem. That Tyler and Otto were worried for nothing i could have taken out these pricks on my own. It's not lik." Suddenly Adam felt something pinch his back, then something hot." he looked down and saw what looked like an earth spike sticking him from the ground though his stomach. "fuck." he said as blood started to flow from his mouth. Suddenly he saw that the earth user wasn't the only one, he was being helped up by two others while another one was facing Adam his hand pointed tword the sky. Adam looked up and saw a bunch of earth spikes hovering in the air. "Fuck." the earth user brought his arm down sending the earth spikes tword Adam.

Adam panicked and teleported behind them. He pulled a blade but it was knocked out of his hand by one of the earth users, using rocks that rotated around his body like a barrier. "damnit." Adam jumped back and reached for a throwing knife when he felt the ground give from underneath him. "great quick sand" he said as he coughed up blood. He teleported into the middle of them and delivered a volley of punches only to see that his hands were bloodied. "what the hell?" the earth user smiled as he revealed his clothes were covering a type of earth armor. A huge stone fist came out of nowhere and punched Adam back. He fell to the ground as the earth users surrounded him. "really." he said as he grabbed at his wound, which was slowly closing. "4 on one seems a little unfair right? i'll fight you guys one on one like a real man." They laughed and sent rocks, earth and stone fists at Adam.

Adam dodged the rock, but got hit with a mound of dirt that started to bury him. "shit, wait. you fucking cheating bastards!" Adam suddenly remembered something Otto told him. "Look here, your boxing experience means shit in a real fight. There ain't gonna be a ref to call cheap shots or stop a fight if you start getting hit to much, no rules about where you can strike or how. You think anyone of those ruthless killers is gonna give a shit about the fact you boxed? No they won't. They break your arms and crush your head with a fifty pound boulder while you whine about how you should be winning in your mind."

"Shit, Otto was right. I am fucking pathetic. i should have listened more." The earth covering him started to constrict and crush him. He let out a pained scream "Ahhhhh, Fuck." The earth users got closer, they all readied their magic for the fatal strike. Adam started panicking, "shit, shit, shit. wait stop you guys stop. I." He remembered how shitty he felt when he fought Alkura. "no, i ain't begging. it's my fault i'm here. so" Adam glared at the earth users. "fucking do it. but i promise you i'll survive and when i do." his fangs grew. "i'll bite your fucking necks off!!!" He screamed as loud as he could. "I'LL FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU!"

GM POST

The battle raged on in a manner straight out of a medieval battlefield, men screamed and cried out as limbs were hacked and cut away, heads crushed beneath rock or as people were dragged beneath the ground never to be seen again. For the most part, while having only Otto, Cal, Lucien and Tyler as support against a rather large force of earth movers the militia and garrison units of the fort were doing well in pushing the raiders back despite heavy casualties. Otto stood in the front of the line directing both flame and blade against the bandits as with his hair, arms and legs ablaze he looked like some type of war spirit made manifest which had a dramatic effect on the raiders and the defenders, the raiders moral being reduced and the opposite effect for the defenders making them fight harder.
--
It was slow but the attackers were being driven back into their holes while Otto or Lucien passing by and sending a burst of flame to kill any raiders trying to hide, the courtyard was mostly empty of raiders when one of the earthbenders who had escaped being wounded with a horn on his belt created a pillar of rock that lifted him above the walls of the fort before he took the horn and blew into it sounding out the call for retreat. He almost made it back off the pillar but a spearman from the militia forces threw his weapons and pierced the earth mover's chest with it causing him to fall to the ground but the call to retreat had already been sounded, the raiders still able to move started to run and scramble for the holes which were still open. Not many made it before being cut down by militia forces or by Otto, Tyler, Cal or Lucien.
----
The forces outside the fort heard the call and had a much easier time escaping, digging their own holes and disappearing underneath the ground and making their exit. The ones surrounding Adam seemed spooked by the call of the horn and immediately lost all interest in the young man and made their own escape, the magic which once confined him fading to let him move and escape but not before the forces outside the fort were all but gone.
 
Tyler


Tyler's contributions to the battle involved mostly bashing head's in with a mace like some medieval warrior. The outcome was just as brutal. Her ring swords remained active throughout the entire fight, zipping through the air and claiming victim after victim at the woman's whim while she fell even more enemies by her own hand. The more she fought, the more fluid her attacks became, and she was able to weave her way through the onslaught while barely slowing down. It was clear that Tyler was becoming quite a skilled fighter, more and more as time wore on. Her movement was becoming more natural and her hesitation was gone entirely.

Halfway through the fight, she even took flight in brief spurts, using her power over the air to thrust herself off the ground so she could advance many yards in a single bound and take people by surprise from above. The more she tested it, the more she wondered if it would be smart to make herself a glider-like attachment for easier aerobatics.

She took the time to take out a few more stragglers as the raiders finally started to flee. A little too late, she thought, they'd practically destroyed the majority of them. Even if the garrison didn't do as much damage; Otto, Tyler, Cal, and Lucien alone had been capable of taking out scores. Tyler couldn't even count how many men she'd just killed. She considered it briefly, balling her right hand into a fist to feel that power. Back on Earth, they were stronger than normal people and they hadn't even obtained their full potential yet. The longer they went on, developed, adapted, she could feel her strength growing as well.

Tyler watched the rest of the raiders scurry away before turning to look at Otto, Cal, and Lucien. "We were set up. They knew we were coming. That timing is too impeccable to be coincidence." The woman scratched at her back with the bloodied spike of her mace. "Either they were trying to off us before we could become a problem, or they were testing us. Either way, they got the latter." She strode across the floor until she was only a foot or so in front of Otto. "I wouldn't put it past an adviser to the King." Her voice was lowered so only he could hear. "Think about it. The advisers are feeding the King all of his information about the raiders. The King makes decisions based on that info. An adviser could easily give information that would lead the King's Guard into a trap, killing them all off before they could come back with anything substantial. They gave us a severely inaccurate number regarding the company of the raiders and then we just happened to walk right into a battle that those earthers were very prepared for? And then when he hires us, the ones capable of stopping the raiders, it would be wise of someone to try to get rid of us before any damaging action could take place." She twirled her mace around in her hand a few times while she thought. "If the King isn't behind these raiders himself, someone near power is – a mole. How else would they be able to get the jump on every single group the King sends out, including us? Those raiders had enough men for a small war here, and this time around, they didn't wait to get busted before fighting. This was an attack on the monarchy, an official fort of the country. It looks like someone's trying to start a war here."

Adam Kane

Adam felt the intense pressure of the earth squeeze the life out of him. He was struggling to get air in as he watched the raiders watch the life leave his eyes. He was losing air and felt his eye lids get very heavy, he felt extrememly tired and was about to passout when he suddenly was able to breath. He hit the ground as the earth that was squeezing him lost it's magic and returned to normal dirt. Adam sucked in a huge breath of air as he gasped for air. He got his composure but couldn't let go of his anger. "That's, That's it?" He got up to his knees. "is that. All. You pricks!" Adam made his way to his feet. "you fucking douche asses. i'll still kill you."

He falls over and tries to stand back up. "you hear me you fucktards." Adam he stood up and started throwing rocks. "you fucking pussies. come back and finish this you cunts!!!" Adam got up and tried to run tword the raiders when one of them turned around and yelled something. Next thing Adam knew he felt several sharp pains in his back. he felt something wet running down his back and legs. He looked down and saw a pool of blood. Adam realized that he was struck with several earth spears. he fell to the ground with a thud.

Adam could feel his concious slipping, as he tried to stay awake he cursed the raiders once more. "i'll. Kill. you." Adam passed out

Daisuke Hirragi

Daisuke woke up his back was on fire. He tried getting up but was weighed down by the weight of the rocks. "oh, shit." He said as he teleported a few feet away out from under the weight of the rocks. "damn, Adam. I feel like i just got hit by a truck. just like that weekend in Bancock." He shook his head as he made his way to his feel. He turned around and saw the fortress was a ways away. "damnit now i gotta walk back?" He took a few steps then shook his head "oh yeah." He teleported to the main gate of the fortress. He reappeared and collapsed at the front door. He banged on the front door and yelled out. "Daisuke down. Bring a medic...and a cigarette."
