Post by Gensho Night on Nov 10, 2015 22:15:19 GMT
It was fresh out of seeing his brother, and Gensho couldn't consider this the best time for Yume to announce she wanted to attack the Temple. Not for him anyway. But he made a promise to help Yume out during the next fight, for all the sanity she'd helped him keep up until now. The Kyuban wasn't getting much better, in fact by appearances Gensho might be getting worse. His hands, which were once only different by sharper nails, had now turned into claws. Monstrous things that Gensho had a hard time dealing with, since they didn't fit inside of gloves anymore without tearing through them. No one understood the changes happening to Kyubans, until Akvan visited Gensho at last. He'd almost forgotten his beloved brother's face, and Gensho was overwhelmed to see him find, if horrifically scarred and looking ill and weak. But then again, Gensho had joked that the two of them looked like they'd had a rough night, and what a pair they'd become. It felt warming to see Akvan, enough for Gensho's woes about his own condition to be dropped. And Akvan explained to Gensho a little more about what was happening to him, which made Gensho more comfortable with the changes, albeit still upset they were happening. Akvan basically predicted that because all Kyuban's were made by Shinda, they changed to suit his image. The more souls they ate, the more savage looking they became. In fact, Akvan said Gensho's hands were becoming a lot like Shinda's were, the real Shinda. Gensho didn't want to picture what he'd end up like if this all continued, so tried to forget it all.
Whilst Akvan's visit brought his spirits up, back down to earth now Gensho was feeling uneasy. Yume suddenly came up with the announcement to attack, and Gensho felt hardly prepared for it. Needless to say he still followed her quietly, hardly speaking as the Kyuban was still engulfed in thought. He finally spoke a little when they were getting further into Rycora, towards the Saint's temple, if Gensho could waver a guess. "We have a plan, correct?" Gensho asked quietly towards Yume, smiling through his worry.

Yume didn't have a plan of attack, despite how long she has been preparing to fight Marzzi one on one, she knew when it came down to it, that Marzzi would be willing to make everyone step aside, it their fight, and the Saints seemed like the ones to respect that. But it didn't mean she was out of the clearing until Marzzi knew who it was, and a full frontal assault on the Temple right off the bat was the trick to get their attention, with or without Gensho's help, he was more there for recon, and making sure no crafty little buggers were going to get her from behind like little fucking cowards. Yume knew that Marzzi had also been looking for her, the dream maker having her resources for information (if you call her sources being kidnap a member of the Saints and torture them for information as a resource) also keeping in mind she never killed them, just broken them, oh how she loved knowing that it was aggravating Marzzi as he couldn't find her, despite having stalked him for months now, some days less then ten meters away. Stopping just short of the Temple, point where they cant hear them or see them, but take one wrong step and everything is over, Yume turned to Gensho with a sickly sweet smile, full of promises written in blood. "Plan? Oh no, they can figure out plans in a blink of an eye, we go in, and fight, that's all there is to it." Yume can easily hold off the guards and find out where Marzzi is, or fish him out... Hell she might even get a chance to place a little bet with him, she was all about the gambles she knew she could win. "But just to satisfy you greedy little mind Fucktard, you just have to pick off those who try to get me from behind, I'll take care off the rest." Left much for imagination, and gave Yume a much needed workout. Smirking to Gensho, Yume straightened her back, let her wings out, and just walked in their line off vision, throwing her arms out and smiling. "Well don't you all look alert! My dear Saints... Give it your best shot, you little shit stains." Let the fun begin!

Notes: A whole lot of Saints as NPCs. I won't list them, just look here for their info Marzzi was called immediately up to the highest turret, after Duke came along with his report of new activity around Rycora. Marzzi was ready for a good brawl, getting bored with picking out weaker targets to take down. And from what Duke described, and what Marzzi saw when he reached the look-out, it looked like today was going to be an interesting one. He glanced to Alex, who was one of the few to follow Marzzi up. "Can you fire a long-ranged gun?" Marzzi asked, and Alex seemed to scoff. "Said the gorilla to the blindman." Alex replied with attitude. Huffing, Marzzi knew the question was dumb. Alex had good aim, but he was still blind, for him to aim well he needed to be able to hear the target with his strange echo-location thing, which only worked closer to the enemy. "I can shoot lightening from the gun you fashioned." Came Luke's voice with a suggestion. Marzzi glanced to the blonde man, nodding his head with a smirk. "Right, then Luke remains up here, and the rest of us go down to the party." Marzzi instructed. The rest nodded their heads, no one arguing that all weren't needed to take down two targets. They knew that Angel, her voice and appearance, and they knew she and her companion needed more than equal opponents to take care of. Marzzi prepared his own weapons, setting out first whilst the others prepared themselves for tactics the Saints had rehearsed and perfected. Boots stomped towards Yume, Marzzi planning to simply take her head on, no tricks needed. "Hey bitch, still squawkin' I see." Marzzi commented, folded arms together nonchalantly. "Think we're all gettin' sick of seein' you around bitch, time to blast the confidence right off your face, blast it off like we did to that pretty little world of yours." Marzzi growled, preparing his weapon to fire. Except, his weapon wasn't the one firing. Up in the temple's toward, Luke had charged enough of his electric magic to cause a huge spike of lightening to strike down between Marzzi and Yume and her friend. The blast aimed to miss, but cause enough cover for the others to surround the two whilst the lightening blinded them. Marzzi smiled to his team, pointing his gun towards Yume. "This bitch is mine to play with, you lot go for her monster boyfriend, got it?"

Yume knew they were mainly waiting for more people, she had created a name for herself since the nightmare attack, having pestering idiots talking to her more, and later on an entire army to handle to fight of these losers. But hey, it was much more fun then complete solitude, so she couldn't really complain. But in a blink of an eye, Yume had set fire to the two guard, not enough to kill, but enough to provoke fear, before crossing her arms and waiting. Smirking as the sight of her target came into view, he seemed ready to play, and it was easy to see that there was something being hidden from them, probably closer to the temple in a hope to catch them out, it was a cliché move that Yume wouldn't let get in her way. But she was down for the little game, so wouldn't spoil the fun. "The last person to call me a bitch had his tongue cut out, and blasted my world? HA! Fuck that shit, I never lived in Aura, I could care less for those up there, as a matter of fact, the only people I ever held a shred of care for lived, so using that shit against me is futile. And I wish you luck blasting away my confidence you Fucktard, because its not going to happen." Even with the sudden attack that left her blinded a moment, she could still hear, and that's all she needed to move away from any trying to get a lucky attack in as they moved into position. Growling slightly though, at how many there were, and who was going after Gensho, Yume looked to Mizetto with a grin. "Dirty little trick you fucker. And before we begin, I have a little gamble for you, if your up for the challenge you little chicken. If I win this fight, those kids leave with us, here, today. If you win, you get, I wont run, I wont retaliate, you get all the chances in the world to break me. If we are at stale mate, then we fight again later on, to determine the winner and all bets are off.... Oh, and to make things fair, only one at a time can attack my puny little monster boyfriend, and I'm allowed to deviate my attention to help him when it seems fit, you of course have free reign to carry on attacking me. Fair game shit stain?"
(And yes, yes I did write that as Yume [she doesn't realise what she has just said either, rights to deny it later ]) Xxx

Marzzi chuckled, teeth gritted in excitement to face his nemesis finally. "Should have known, not like you to have a heart anyway. Suppose I'll have to rip you open and check myself after this. And thanks for the luck, makes the moment I blow that confidence away feel even sweeter." Marzzi growled back. Sure it might have been a trick to get everyone all up close and ready to take these two down, but Marzzi didn't care. After all his men had done, the brute didn't give a damn to playing by the rules. And that being said, he started to get irritated when Yume thought she had the right to set rules for them. In fact, once she was done yapping, Marzzi fired a warning shot, one that clearly was going to miss her head, but caused enough noise to shut everyone up. "Typical fuckin' Angel bitch to think this fight needs rules. I'll accept that little gamble of yours though, should make things interestin'. But you can go to the hell your filthy race came from with those rules. We all know what your boyfriend is, we've got one of them ourselves." Marzzi pointed his gun towards Gensho. "He's a Kyuban freak, and somethin' no one can fight one on one unless they want to die or get infected." Marzzi stated, before aiming back at Yume. "Don't think it's fair? Then you're dealin' with the wrong crowd bitch, your kind don't deserve 'fair'." Marzzi added, before firing the first proper shot at Yume's head. It was the starting gun for the others to also attack. Whilst Yume dodged Marzzi's attack, the others turned to crowd her friend. Alex shot at the freaks legs, whilst Kitsun and Thorn tried to immobilise him with their magic. Leaving them to it, and hoping no one was too weak to get struck by the Kyuban, Marzzi smirked to Yume, hoping to get a rise from her to make this fight a little more interesting.

"Cocky little shit aint ya? Hang around with the big dogs getting them to do your dirty work..." Yume really hated Marzzi, and nothing he could say or do would ever break her confidence, not even death. Because truth be told, she wouldn't die, he didn't have the privilege to be the one to take her last breath. Yume gave a laugh, rules? When did she mention rules? She only wanted a fair game, because Gensho wasn't like the other Kyuban's, so he would be holding back, as he didn't want this fight anyways, but that's Marzzi's loss, if he wants Gensho going all out, she tried. Dodging the shot, knowing it was coming, Yume turned towards Gensho for a second, growling softly as everyone crowded him. "I tried to find a way for you to hold back, take them out Gensho, eat to your heart content, I'll take the blame." It was the only way she knew he would be willing to go all out, even when fighting for his life. "If there's too many, run!" Normally she didn't like cowards, but in this case, she needed him for fights later on, so losing his life here would be devastating. Turning back to Marzzi with hate in her eyes, Yume gave a smirk before grabbing her whip and coating it in fire, and spinning it around a few times. "I would say hope your precious little weapons are fire proof, but I've been learning you see, fair warning, as I'm nice, this fire will burn through any little weapon you have, body too. I most certainly hope your better at blocking them you were facing off against the nightmares." Yume had been learning of a way to get one up on Marzzi before the fight, spending any time she had learning of this fire magic that's hot enough to melt any metal, burn through any element. Now to see how well it worked, and if worse came to worse, she knew of some illusions to use against him, he taught her that much in the nightmares.

Marzzi grinned, teeth gritted with both hatred of this woman and amusement at her words. "Cocky I am, only because I'm the biggest dog around." Marzzi replied, knowing Yume couldn't say all too much to piss him off right now. Sure she could call him weak or pathetic or stupid, Marzzi didn't care. Because right here and now, he'd got his opportunity to hurt Yume, make her pay for all of that. He didn't give half a damn about what words the bitch decided to spit out at him, she could hiss all she wanted as far as the brute could care. Yume seemed to care for the Kyuban, an odd thing to have towards those little monsters, but it made Marzzi see a little weakness in her. He hoped the others could defeat Yume's boyfriend, that might just distract her enough for Marzzi to get in some real damage. And, Marzzi glanced towards the other battle, expecting to see the Kyuban already defeated. But, all he saw was a black void, clearly the God of Night could still use his magic tricks to help him fight, even if he was more monster than God now. In the pitch darkness, the only one who could aim right was Alex, but it seemed Gensho had put him out of an early commission, dragging the blind-man into the field of darkness, before tossing him back out a few seconds later with his gun taken and a few cuts on his arms. Marzzi didn't know what to make of how strong Yume's pet Kyuban was, but he couldn't distract himself with the Demons fight. Yume was Marzzi's aim, and she was all his today to fight. Marzzi listened to Yume's fair warning, chuckling and nodding his head a little. "I'm glad you've practised based of those nightmares, because I've grown a lot stronger since then, bitch. Thanks to a certain someone, I didn't have the fire-power back then, now I do, and more. So I'd like to warn you, this past year I've had a lot of help makin' new toys, but... we'll leave them as a surprise for now." Marzzi replied, getting out two of his normal guns and firing again, making sure Yume didn't get too long to stand around and talk with that annoying, bitchy voice of hers.

Yume didn't respond in words, instead proceeded to spin her whip around so that she could rid of one of the guns. Her actions would do all the talking now, for good reason, besides, she wasn't here for a verbal fight, she wanted him wounded, to see him bleeding in the worst of ways. And she knew he grew stronger, wanted him to in fact, he was no where close to her skill back with the nightmares, at least now it would be a good fight. Smirking slightly, Yume brought the whip back and aimed it for his legs. hoping to trip him up, the thing about this new magic, she could easily turn it on and off quickly, she didn't want him unable to walk, just grounded for a moment, other wise all the fun would be taken away. She wondered briefly what these new weapons could do, but wasn't worried, she could handle a little surprise, and its nothing she wont be able to handle. Making sure to dodge any incoming attacks, Yume moved her gaze onto Gensho for a moment, glad to see he was holding the others off well, snapping her whip, Yume did trip up one of the Saints getting a bit too close, before turning her gaze back onto her own fight. "That all you got Marzzi? I'm highly disappointed."

A whip wasn't a common weapon. And thus Marzzi didn't know how to specifically fight against it. The thing danced around in the air, before cracking down against one of Marzzi's guns, knocking it from his grasp. He glared for a moment, before forgetting about the firearm. This was why he started with his simple weapons, saving the special little babies he'd made for later. With one hand free, Marzzi turned the arm into metal for now, keeping it free to defend himself with from that whip. Battle raged on next to them, the Kyuban causing a lot of problems now it was clear they'd underestimated him. But Marzzi couldn't even take his eyes off this battle for a second. If he did, he knew Yume would use it for her advantage. This new fighting of hers was pissing Marzzi off a bit. He didn't have time to react with his brutish weight to dodge the whip as it came for his leg. Slamming back against the ground, Marzzi growled as he listened to the bitch Angel talk. Deciding to give in and reveal one of the new toys, Marzzi quickly put a hand to the side of his belt, twisting a button and clicking it. From the edges of Marzzi's boots, two concealed cannons fired magic bullets towards Yume, ones that exploded on contact. They had the power of a shotgun, as Marzzi could handle the force of the shot. He knew it would be a surprise, but whether Yume could dodge was another thing.

Yume sensed the attack before it was coming, but only managed to dodge one of the bullets, to her own annoyance, and hate, because she should be better then this, should have known exactly what was coming... It was her strength with these things. It hit her in the leg, but she ignored the pain, to the point where she forgot it was there and was walking as normal, the burns from the explosion a hindrance, but nothing she wasn't use to... She more often then not exploded things next to her, taking the blast, a little weapon from Marzzi was nothing compared to what she has done to herself. "Oh wow, and here's me thinking you couldn't get any worse." Rolling her eyes, Yume set her whip on fire again before slamming it down towards Marzzi's metal arm. Now, the whip wasn't the best of weapons, but it had one hell of an accuracy when Yume had hold of one, unless the brute could dodge, then he would have one hell of a time watching as the whip went right through in a blink of an eye.

Marzzi heard one hit, unable to see from how he was lying down, but the squelch of it hitting flesh was enough to put the smile back on Marzzi's face. He got to his feet whilst Yume dealt with her wound, and Marzzi was impressed with how she ignored it, if a little pissed that he couldn't see Yume's expression change yet. Soon though, he could see it coming. Making sure to disarm the boot guns, Marzzi prepared himself for more fighting. He was the kind of guy that never fell for the same trick twice. He'd assessed how the whip worked, and had planned to counter it. When the fires engulfed it, Marzzi decided to not dodge. Instead, using his magic bullet gun, Marzzi took a shot at the whip whilst it was in the air. It was an accurate shot, rather lucky in that regard, and caused the whip to pulse back and lose it's momentum. Smirking to Yume, he aimed his gun, firing multiple times before she could prepare her whip for another round again. "What were you sayin'? Better stop mumblin' bitch and try, or else I might get bored." Marzzi barked, deciding to take steps towards Yume now, planning on cutting up the distance between them and see what the Angel bitch could do in close combat. He could counter her whip now, but Marzzi wouldn't call it a perfect counter. It required perfect aim, which when hitting a whip, was a hard thing to achieve.

Yume growled as the whip came back from being intercepted, a lucky shot, she would give him that, one she wasn't going to allow again. Dodging the next round of bullets, Yume smirked, knowing Marzzi was going to come closer, he may be a brute, and she may look like she cant get in a solid punch, but she most certainly knew hand to hand combat, and now he was easier to hit, both with, and without the whip. Roundhouse kicking Marzzi from the left, Yume had plenty of experience with being blocked, and had adapted her style so that just before impact, she changed foot so that a block was near impossible with the speed. While the speed picked up though, the strength went down, and she knew it would have hardly effected him, so leaning forward as she did so, Yume bashed her head into Marzzi's and twisted his arm enough so that he would either drop his gun, or be unable to hit her with it. Either worked, and she was easily able to play his size against him, but she did have to be careful for any surprises he had.

Yume took hits well, and seemed to have a good defence. Or she at least endured hits well. Marzzi was what could be called a tank in his fighting. He could defend well and attack with incredible, bond crushing force. But his speed left something to be desired, and due to how Marzzi fought, it was impossible for him to improve his speed. He'd just absorb hits, like the bitch tried to do. He knew who'd endure pain and injury the most, so it was just a matter of baring the pain until the Angel caved. He had his arms ready, one still holding onto a gun. The brute had a defensive stance, so was ready for Yume's attack. Like the whip though, the kick sped up at the last second, hitting against Marzzi's defence hard, rippling across his arm with a good deal of pain. But it was bearable pain. No bones were broken, so Marzzi smirked at Yume's weak attempt, unprepared for the head-butt. It knocked Marzzi back with a stun ringing through his head, meaning he couldn't move his arm away as Yume twisted it. Marzzi wasn't even reluctant to let his second simple gun fall, knowing he didn't need it for this kind of fighting. With one hand held, Marzzi could only use the other one. So he reached down to his belt, preparing one of his new toys, whilst setting up a distraction. He lifted a foot slightly off the ground, aiming the cannon part at Yume's feet again and firing. She have to dodge or bear it to keep her hold on Marzzi. Either way it would distract her enough for Marzzi to bring out the new weapon. Luke had helped make it, it had around ten weak charges and three powerful ones. An electric gun, shaped like a blunt sword with a sharp point on the end that could both be used for melee or long distance fighting. With his free arm, Marzzi swung it around at Yume's side, pushing her back further, or stunning her.

Yume knew a surprise attack when she saw one, baring the first lot of pain so that she could focus on the second. Twisting round, Yume moved herself so that she was on Marzzi's back, falling to the ground with the Brute still only having one hand free. She was right about his speed being slow, but he was quick enough to still hit her with the stun gun, and she was lucky in this respect that it hit no where bad, just enough to send a painful electric jolt through her body. But she was nothing but resilient, having spent her fair time messing with lightening, it was a pain she could once again ignore to a certain extent, even if she wanted nothing more then to freeze up in pain for a moment. Crushing down on Marzzi's neck, Yume used the moment to grab hold of her whip, setting it ablaze before bringing down the tip to his free hand in a hope to at least scorch him, a long shot, while his sheer weight could knock her off balance, but she was positioned in a way she hoped would cause that until she got what she needed in, and had a quick check in with Gensho, hoping he was still alive.

Yume was a good fighter, Marzzi gave her that. But, he didn't expect this fight to be easy. She was one the last Angels around, the survivors were tough, every Human was aware of that now. It's how they lived so long with so few numbers. He thought he'd got her with the stun, but Yume resisted enough to try and choke Marzzi. Distracting him with the desperation to breath, whilst trying to scorch his hand. Marzzi was losing his form hard with the crushing of his neck. But he jumped back into focus when he looked across towards the others. No-one was left standing, not one Saint. They were either unconscious or worse. The only being standing was the Demon bastard Yume seemed to command. And held up by his claws was a broken and bruised Alex. Marzzi had new energy suddenly pump through him, ignoring the blistering pain of the burning whip to shove his arm back and elbow Yume. He used his twisted arm in a painful way, causing more damage to his arm, but also shoving and throwing Yume away. With himself released, Marzzi got to his feet with a few stumbles, but it was far to late to try and act. By the time the Saint looked to his comrade, Gensho had already embedded his claws into his skin, sucking the life out of Alex until he'd disappeared, soul exploding into red dust. Marzzi could believe the sight, all his friends lying in pain or dead. Marzzi put back the stun gun, knowing he wanted to do more than paralyse the freak. "You fuck..." Marzzi growled, ignoring Yume all together as he shot a proper bullet towards the Kyuban. All it took was Gensho to glimpse in Marzzi's direction, and the Kyuban disappeared, using his speed to easily dodge Marzzi's attack, rush towards the Human and pin him down on the ground. It had happened so fast, that Marzzi didn't even notice how the Kyuban had bitten a chunk out of his neck, holding back the blood as he watched the most of it dribble from Gensho's mouth. "Not enough... you're not enough." The monster mumbled, seeming to give Marzzi no more notice, as he looked around for something else, sniffing the air like some feral freak.
