[IC Board] All the World's a Game - Season II

Washington D.C - City Streets

Meanwhile out in the streets Julius and Pit were standing outside the door of the Lobby, and on the sidewalk outside. What they saw surprised Pit, but didn't really seem to surprise the Vampire Hunter as indicated by his rather calm and collected, if not bored face. What they were seeing was a small group of demons. Mostly an army of skeletons. Some skeletons were armed with bows and arrows, others with flintlock rifles, and others with various other weapons. They were causing all sorts of chaos, but weren't really attacking anyone. In fact it was more like they were searching for something or someone. Seeing this Julius and Pit looked at each other and nodded before leaping into action.

Pit had made good use of Palutena's bow as he target some of the ranged threats, firing several blue energy arrows at some of the skeletons with rifles and bows on the top of the rooftops around the apartment, being sure to avoid any gunfire. Thanks to being an angel he is managing to do that quite well, even when on the ground. While Julius on the other hand was weaving in and out of the skeletons on the ground, using his Vampire Killer whip to strike some of the skeletons, and thanks to the power of the whip. It only took one crack of the whip on a single skeleton to take one out. However Julius did notice that they weren't really attacking them directly. In fact it seemed almost out of self defense oddly.

"This is odd. They didn't start attacking until we did. But why? Are they not trying to attack people?" Julius asked himself as he continued to fight back against some of the more armored skeletons, of which he had to use his whip to remove their armor before striking, while being sure to avoid getting stabbed or cleaved in half.

As a skeleton jumped at Julius, a black hand with blue lines of light crushed it to the ground "Maybe because you guys attacked first" Midna´s voice was heard as she floated down to land on the hand that vanished leaving pieces of broken bones "They could probably be evil, but" she evaded an arrow and launched black particles towards the archer "Now they are angered at you and knowing the minion type of creatures, they will try to destroy the new threats, aka us" she said forming a halberd and picked it.

"By the way, if they were searching for something or someone, we need to focus on that too" the twili suggested using the halberd to block an attack and countering by slicing the minion´s body in half "Pit! if you see some of the creatures leaving the area, stop them!" she shouted so the angel could hear.

"On it!" Pit responded as he lept into the air before crying out for Palutena. "Lady Palutena please! Give me flight!" Pit cried out as Palutena's voice could be heard echoing through the minds of not just Pit, but also Julius and Midna. " Pit I'll grant you my Power of Flight!" Palutena's voice echoed as Pit's wings began to glow brightly, then with a single flap of his wings he took off into the sky to quickly stop a few skeletons that he noticed were retreating.

However it didn't take long for a large shadow to appear over Pit, and on the ground below. Seeing this Pit looked and screamed as a large beast about twice Julius's height came crashing down onto Pit, pile-driving him into the ground while roaring loudly.

Midna was about to comment on how telepathic messages was strange and shivering when she heard the roar of a monster, a monster that crashed down with the angel boy. She had just enough time to make another hand just below them to stop some of the crashing. The pressure coming from the landing made the twili struggled for a moment. It would have been a bit easier if the skeletons wouldn´t keep attacking her. "You got to be kidding me, this guys jump started already sending the big guys" she grumbled impaling a skeleton with her halberd.

The former princess threw the destroyed skeleton and focused more magic on the hand making a platform.

As the beast came crashing down upon Pit with a loud roar, Midna had managed to thankfully relieve some of the punishment Pit would have suffered with her magic. Much to the relief of Palutena and Julius. However Julius upon hearing the roar and seeing the creature scowled as he recognized the demon. It didn't take long for Julius to ready his whip as he jumped into the air,off a Skeleton's head, and right towards the beast. The beast upon looking at Julius roared once more as it took off into the air before the Vampire Hunter could strike the beast.

"Gaibon! I don't know why you're here! But we will destroy you!" Julius yelled as he landed on the ground near where the beast now known as Gaibon had pile drived Pit. Julius immediately reacted by turning to Pit who was already beginning to stand up again. Without thinking Julius helped the angel boy up as Pit was trying to recollect his focus. Meanwhile Gaibon was now scanning the area... picking who to target...

"An angel... a Belmont... and a being I have not seen once before... Interesting... but who shall I choose as my target?" The beast growled as it's eyes finally locked onto Midna. Within an instant the beast fired an intense stream of fire and smoke at the Twili before quickly diving after her through the smoke and flames. All the while Julius began sprinting towards Midna in hopes to at least protect her from the fire and smoke, or at least Gaibon himself as Pit was still dazed from being pile-drived into the ground.

Midna actually grinned at the monster coming towards her "Come on baby dragon, I got something for you" she charged her fist with magic and made a powerful jab towards Gaibon. At first nothing happened, but then a circle of black energy surrounded by orange electricity and another hand appeared, but this one looked more intricate than the others as it had more twili symbols and moved with more freedom. The hand then sped towards Gaibon forming a fist doing the same movement as Midna´s.

As Gaibon was diving through the smoke and flames towards Midna, Midna had retaliated with her own flashy, yet powerful attack aimed at the flying demon. Unfortunately for the demon, Gaibon had gotten struck by Midna's attack. Of which the result was sending the demon flying into the sky. Seeing that Julius stopped in his tracks as he readied his whip as Gaibon began to fall to the ground. Julius was ready to strike Gaibon once again. Meanwhile Pit was finally recovering from Gaibon's attack as evidenced by him readying Palutena's bow...

Midna released a sigh as the fist disappeared "See..? that is how you deal with a nuisance" she said between breaths, she then crouched as a skeleton tried to attack her "Oh for the goddesses sake, give me a break" she punched the skeleton´s cranium making a nice crunch. The twili opened her hand and the halberd reappeared ready to be used again. "Now how do I deal with you?" she asked leaning on the weapon as another one of the creatures tried to attack her, she let gravity do its job and sliced it with the bladed part of the halberd.

"You guys can take care of the flying dino? I can cover you from this guys" the former princess yelled as she was back on her second breath and started attacking the skeletons again.

Julius and Pit nodded at each other as thanks to there being one more minute left on Palutena's gift of flight, Pit took off flying into the air as Julius cracked his whip up towards Gaibon, with the whip striking Gaibon painfully, the power of the Vampire Killer dealt far more damage to him than any ordinary whip. Getting struck by the whip's power had caused Gaibon to fly higher into the air as Pit readied his bow and fired a few shots from Palutena's bow at Gaibon. As the arrows pierced Gaibon's body, the demon came hurdling down towards the ground.

Upon impacting the ground Pit fired one more arrow down as it pierced Gaibon's body... seemingly killing it...

Midna was slashing her way through the skeletons and making twilight hands to crush the small groups to keep them away from the others. She was using a great quantity of magic, but her reserves wer higher than the average magician. The former princess let a group get close to her, but they were stopped as they got into a circle of magic, the twili´s hair formed a hand and pointed at eachof them until particles appeared and stormed the unfortunate targets of the magician.
