"Come on and fi- wait, what?" She blinked a number of times in disbelief, cutely fidgeting with her flame sword. "So, you're saying you...you...like me?" She glanced at Victoria for a brief moment, and then back at Nathan. "B-but I thought you liked..." Stopping in the midst of her sentence, she raised her sword and pointed it at his throat. "Explain yourself."

"You see, I don't judge people by their factions." Nathan continued, playfully spinning Dark Requiem in his right hand. "And I am sided with neither faction. However, I spotted Victoria in an unfair fight - she was battling against you and Barbossa - and I decided to help her out because of that. Perhaps you could say it was to even the odds."

"But you know, your personality's really interesting. But that's not all: Your determination is extremely admirable as well, and your powers are as fiery as your spirit. Plus - you're pretty too! I don't understand how I would not be able like you." Nathan winked at her charmingly, before awaiting her response.

He's Fallen for the Enemy...

Victoria facepalmed and watched Nathan flirt with Sistele.

Now, of all times...in the middle of a battle. He's fallen for the enemy. Men...

She activated her comm unit and contacted Spiral Command.

"This is General Victoria Moireton, we are currently at Knossos Ridge Prison and we have a prison break. The Morai are here and freeing the prisoners, requesting backup now."

"Aye ma'am. ETA 2 minutes."

Just as Victoria shut off the comm unit, a blast of energy shoved her violently into the rocks by the beach. A Morai gunship hovered into view, spraying the ground with lead. The belly opened up to reveal a squad of Morai soldiers.

"Deathbringer 109-4(Sistele), Executioner and Maliant get on!"

The remaining Spiral forces on the beach scattered as the gunship continued to fire.

Here comes the cavalry

(Spiral command main base)
As Liam was walking down the hals smoking his pipe and enjoying the peace , suddenly alarms start ringing and a squire runs up to Liam telling him that he is to be summoned at the main hall for instructions on an emergency evacuation mission. As he is running down the hals he notices that the number of knights that seem to be going on this mission is higher than any normal mission. "i think this might be more than just rescue mission, these are heavy hitters they're sending in." Liam enters the hall Ready for the mission briefing.

Ozlo: Oke you are going to knossos ridge, there are many high profile morai prisoners there and it seems that they managed to brake through the forces we have send. This is most likely due to the fact that even though its not the biggest morai fleet it appears to be spearheaded with some of the most capable warriors the morai have in their ranks. And due to the prisonbreake those numbers have increased. Now Liam i expect that you complete this mission with minimal casualties on our sides as i have come to expect of you. NOW MOVE OUT!!!

Touch down

As bastion descended upon the recently lodged ledge, the platform shifted and his foothold slipped. Reacting quickly, he unsheathed his blade, and struck it into the wall, avoiding falling down the rest of the distance. The Morai felt around the wall with his foot, before finding an alternate ledge, withdrawing his blade once he found it to be strong enough.

Bastion covered the last distance, landing with a soft thud once he hit the ground, landing a few yards behind what was now apparent as a Warden. The Morai slowly unsheathed his sword as he strode toward the sizable spiral, sword softly whirring as he spinned it around in his hand. The sound of the Morai gunship over-head, along with its flurry of suppresive bullets seemed like the perfect cloak, for his dagger.

Barbossa grinned. "Looks like the cavalry is here!" he shouted, before dashing back to the waiting ships. Prisoners of all types followed him, as well as Morai soldiers. He leapt into the gunship, fring back all the way, and seeing Spirals fall before his troops. Once all the soldiers and escaped prisoners had been loaded on, the gunships lifted off the ground and flew away, leaving wounded Knights in their wake. Barbossa turned around and shouted.

"See you later, Victoria!"

Right, I am here armed and currently not a threat to anyone. Thurian though as he watched the whole thing proced like a spectator. Shaking his head he put away his weapon and pulled out his rifle. Looking up he took a deep breath as he aimed his weapon right into the view port of the ship. Of course he had little visible targets but his goal was a long one.

Once he fired the bullet he was hopefully at the right angle to have the .35 Bunker round rebound off the roof the the bridge and take out who ever was working navigation. With out a navigational officer that tub is dead in the water...I hope. Letting his breath out Thurian slowly squeezed the trigger.

A flash, loud and carrying followed by the same head of a red tipped barrel of his rifle.

Getting onto the ship.

Sistele summoned a burst of strength to her legs and leaped into the gunship, armor and all. Bracing herself against the wall of the ship, she stood on the edge to watch Nathan and Victoria as the gunship flew away. Nathan is a very strange man indeed. Somehow, I find myself hoping that we will meet again.

She glanced at Barbossa. "How'd you fare? I managed to take down a few squads of knights on this mission."

Bastion dont run.

Bastion watched the gunship lift off, and start to get off the ground into its flying position. The morai executioner looked up at the ship, and wondered why everyone was leaving. Were they trying to escape? Running like little lambs? The executioner didnt like the sight of his faction acting like scared pups, and didn't believe that this was the best of times. He stared at Barbossa with a death stare, shunning his cowardice from his "retreat".

The Morai turned back to Thurian, still whirring his blade around in his hand, picking up speed, edging closer & closer to his target, raising his blade above his head to deliver his 1st blow.

Sniper on the ridge

Nile disregarded the descending Morai and switched his aim to the ascending gunship. Your not getting away that easily. The cockpit was visible from his angle. He took a few seconds to adjust for the movement and fired once. Immediately he adjust his aim and shot out one of the guns that were mounted on the gunship. His last bullet shot away, heading towards the small crowd of troops in the opening.

Nile reloaded and sent three more bullets at the ship before pausing. Then he peered through the scope to see what his bullets hit, or didn't hit.

(Dunno who its up to, but there are 4 bullets aimed at the part of the gunship where Barbossa, Sistelle, and other troops are at, and 1 bullet heading for the cockpit. 1 is also aimed at one of the guns in the gunship.)

Hit detection

The gunship takes a few hits in the hull, but remains mainly unscathed. The ship disappears into the skyline, leaving Bastion on the shore, surrounded.

The Cycle

Standing up Thurian sighed once he realized his shot had missed. Thankfully his radar had alerted him to the incoming enemy from behind. Placing his rifle away the Warden pulled out his sword and looked at the Morai.

"What now? Are you really going to attack me knowing full well what will happen? It's a death scene friend, just give up."

With that said Thurian held his blade in a battle stance as he pulled his shield off his back. The normally blue strip turning read, a clear sign no one was going to get past. "But, I can no control the will of another. If you must fight, then attack me but be warned it is not my sword or shield you should fear."

Bastioned stood his ground, striking his blade into the ground, letting his elbows rest on the hilt as his helmet rested on his clasped hands. He stared inquisitively at the Warden, before beginning to pick his brain.

"You don't strike me as a Warrior, though your appearance would disagree. It would seem your career choice should have been a diplomat rather than a dealer of death. Tell me." Bastion withdrew his sword, casting his eyes at the other spirals in a sweeping gaze.

"What forces you to fight so fiercly? Wrath? Lust? Im curious as to how one so against fighting is so determined to kill what was once his fellow man". The Morai levelled his sword at the Warden, expecting an answer.

"Please, Humour me". He smirked beneath his helm.

evacuation has arrived

Liam was meditating as he heard "GET READY TO DEPLOY". As the ships were getting close to the ground and the doors opened he noticed a distinct lack of things trying to murder him. "hm seems like we were to late to the scene."

He sees victoria and jumps out to approach her.
"He Victoria, whats the status on the knights here, how many casualties?"

His Answer

Looking the man over all Thurian could see was just another human trying to make it in the world. The thick ties he had to the Morai where far too bound to cut. Instead he just lepted forwards thrusing his blade in the direction of the man. "Humor me then," he said as the blade flew forwards, "and I will tell you what you want to know."

DAOXIN

He strolled out of the facility, into the fresh air. The wind blew his hood down, and he pulled his face mask down to his neck, revealing a grinning, beaming face. Boyish in look, old with eyes. He examined the coast's fresh grass. He had talked with the faculty, and a plan was set. A select few would bring in the reinforcements. A ship was landing from above, and their objective would be to quarantine the area. The Morai left in the area would be taken for information. It was weak, when most Morai were escaping onto their ships, but it was a start.

He withdrew his Sai's, and accelerated toward a skirmish not too far off. Multiple Morai and Spirals fighting, with an unaffiliated with them. The unaffiliated's green eyes caught Daoxin off-guard, and he looked away as he realized the eyes weren't looking at him. He took a deep breath, and continued walking, practicing his respiration to calm down. A fiery Morai woman was struggling to fight, and the confusion was promising.

Like any sort of gentleman, he kept quiet, and watched the proceedings from a little far-off, his hood trailing in the breeze.

Bastion smirked as the Wardden lunged at him, bringing the hilt of his blade up to his helmet as he made a small step to his side, the on-comer's blade sparking as it reflected off of the parrying Morai Sword. Bastion moved his armoured boots around the leg of the warden, in an attempt to disrupt his balance after the lunge.

The Cycle

In any normal situation he would have been taken down by the foot in his path. Instead the hulk of a man stopped and locked his footing taking and shoving away the Morai with his shield. The Red bar, blocking all those from passing, aided in the push as Thruian had to think over what he wanted to do.

"The reason I fight, is because I have reason to, but at the same time that reason is poison." Adjusting his stance Thurian held his shield infront of him, able to flat footed look over the wall. To his right the edge of his blade seemed to have a dull shine. "Around Sixteen year's ago I was given a vision, a horrible but wonderful vision of the future. My son would be atop a mountain, on a planet with a hollow inside. Beside him a cursed man who could not die even if he wanted to. A world with out your Legion. My son is a smart kid, but unlike me he lacks the same compassion for human life, I care for some one enough not to kill them unless they are a sniper for it's an unsaid truth assassin's are already damned for fighting indirect combat."

Taking a breath the Warden looked the man over. He seemed well off, nothing too out of the normal. "But, he did get it from me. And if you get captured I suppose I could show you what a real monster is like."

Bastion stepped back, before assessing the situation in his head. He began to think to himself about what to do next.

"So the Warden wants to play Tortoise, hm, as expected".

The Morai executioner placed his sword back into the ground, and rest his hands upon the hilt. In a seemingly off-guard, yet ready to parry & counter at a moment's notice, Bastion began to inquire, wondering if the spirals around him were as honourable as this one, or just too oblivious to notice their ally was in combat. He closed his eyes, allowing his hearing to become more accute and able to pick up softer sounds of movement. Lowering his head in an almost meditative state, he began to continue conversing with his opponent.

"So, you base your future on dreams and prophecies, hoping that what you see is the truth. How do you know that your vision that has led you along your path was not a mere illusion? Why did you not carve your own future and destiny with your own hands, rather than allow your family to deal with your ramblings and fantasy? Im curious as to how someone in your position can so easily rely on fleeting chances and dreams".

Bastion remained silent and focussed on his surroundings, ready to pick up the sound of an oncoming blade, footsteps or simply a retort. He was ready to react accordingly.

Back at Morai headquarters, Barbossa Malinant was strolling down the hallway to his room. As he walked, he pondered the sucess of their mission. Bastion hadn't gotten on the ship. Bad move, Barbossa thought. However, they had managed to break many prisoners out, and now had more troops to fight with.

After checking on the status of his resource mines, Barbossa contacted the man known as Xindao. He knew this man wasn't a commander, but Xindao had good ideas, and so Barbossa took advantage of that fact. One day, when the Spiral Knights were crushed, he would kill Xindao. But not now. He opened the telecommunications base, and contacted his "commander." Xindao's face appeared on the screen.

"Hello." said Barbossa.

A black figure looked up, fluorescent white clown facepaint grinning and facing Barbossa. "Hello, Malinant. Come to give me some company? Or perhaps to discuss why there is blood dripping over Knossos Ridge and into the ocean. Or perhaps.....you want information?" The clownish man giggled to himself, kicking his feet playfully at the air. as he sat in his throne...

Victoria shook her head, shaking off the blast she had taken from the gunship, and turned around to face Liam.

"The gunship got away with two high profile Morai officers, soldier." She said coldly. "I wouldn't say that was doing your job. The least you can can do now is help me apprehend that man."

Victoria pointed at Bastion.

I spy with my only eye...

This is boring... Nile thought as he watched the duel. I wish more morai came back. Ugh, what else is there? He swept his gaze out to the ocean. Nothing. He looked the other way. Nothing. Wait... Nile brought the sniper rifle to his eye and peered in the direction he was looking. Is that a...oh hello there. There was a lone figure standing a ways away from the duel. He or she, seemed to be observing the duel. Nile kept his rifle trained on the figure and activated his comlink.

"Commander? Don't look now but there is an unknown figure watching you guys. He is about 200 meters away, along the coast."

Darkwatck

Looking the man over Thurian sighed as he put his sword and shield on his back, pulling out his rifle.

"Because, I honestly don't care anymore. We live in a world were sick people can take control and factions fight over blood for nothing. To be frank I just don't care, so I have left the problems of the future to the next generation. To let them take care of the things we have sown now. If I had to answer your question, I am forging my own path but I am doing it based on how I saw the end of it."

With that said he dropped the hammer on the weapon loading the bullet into the chamber. "This is a .35 Bunker round, at long range it can remove some ones arm right threw armor. Highly Illegal to use in combat for it breaks the treaties of un-needed force. I am sure you know what I am about to say, so please. Don't let this go any further and give in, but I kind of want to see what this thing can do at close range."

Standing in the ready stance Thurian looked at his target, he was much quicker with a gun then his sword and shield and had a better understanding of the weapon making him more effective in combat. If this morai was going to engage Thurian, he was about to find out why he was well known for using a gun.

Barbossa chuckled. "Well. . .I guess I'll do some explaining. You see, my idea to attack Knossos was a sucess. Sadly, we don't have Bastion. What we do have are many, many escaped prisoners who have decided to offer their services to me." he said calmly. "Where do you propose we attack next, Xindao?"

Ohhh, you know

XINDAO

"I have a few places in mind. For now, a crippling attack is in order. There are several barracks in need of some red paint. Maybe your crew could get on the job?" He sits back, looking at the image intently...

"What will you give up in order to have this planet? What extent will you go to? Your own race, and you practically devour their young..." He leans back in, curling up on his knees and playfully stretching his neck to the image. His eyes did not stare directly at it. They flew all over the place, examining and registering all images. Looking closely, one could see wires of Energy penetrating his arms and torso, feeding him to keep him going.

"Lucky for you, I have some forces in mind that could help. Albeit, cursed and forces that feed on the living, but forces all the same. Will you earn the favor of the King and Queen? Would you give hundreds of lives to take this place for yourself?"

Barbossa lifted an eyebrow under his helmet. Power? he thought, And at such a high price? Could Xindao really grant him that?

He thought about it for a moment, and then spoke. "While my natural lust for power is strong, I do not know if I am willing to meet those terms. Give me time to think about it, Xindao. I shal contact you later." he said, and signed off. Next, he called Sistele in to his office, having decided to reprimand her.

Very Well

XINDAO

A disgusted look crossed his face. Simply talking with that man made him gag. He thinks he can overthrow the Highblood and the Spirals. But nay, there is more to it than that. He doesn't know how long this "war" will actually last.

Xindao positions his hand on his chessboard. With a flick, a rook falls to the ground, smashing to bits. It sends a notification to the detonator, and Knossos Ridge Prison is suddenly encased in a force field of flickering energy. Those inside beg for forgiveness, to no avail. Within the same several minutes, the compound explodes, and construction and person alike all fall to the ground in pieces.

The field flickers off. The tribute is taken.

"I'm sorry i was not able to get here faster. But there is some good news, the Morai mission was not a complete success. Since there main mission objective is standing right there." (pointing at Bastion)

"Il take care of the situation then." He says as he calmly walks over to the warden opposite of bastion.
He lays his hand the shoulder oh the warden as he is loading a heavy round into his gun.
"That bullet is not necessary right now, its not a life or death situation. Just fire a round in his leg or foot or something and i'l take care of the rest."
Knowing that Bastion could clearly hear what he said.

As Liam faces Bastion
"What do you hope to achieve by staying here? You know know you will either get killed or captured. Just surrender, it will save us both the trouble of conflict."

Looking down at the knight Thurian sighed as he shook his shoulder. "No, he stood here of his own. The least we can do is honor his actions and give him a fair and unheld fight. As for the Bunker round, he asked for it the moment he stepped forth."

To bad I don't intend to kill him. If anything this is a threat with a broken foundation, but if he does attack it dose give me a reason to see what this round can do at close range. Lifting up the rifle Thurian took aim at the mans chest. "Alright, your move friend."

"This is not about honor. This is about solving conflict without anymore bloodshed. Look around you warden. This place has had enough bloodshed for today. And besides this is not just about making sure you don't get wounded, there are people who depend on you."

He sighs as he turns to look the warden the eye.
"I dont command you but i ask you: do not let your pride take the best of you."

The motive.

Bastion didnt lift his head as he spoke up, interrupting the two, directing his words toward the Warden.

"You realise that during your conversation with this whelp, you left yourself without focus toward your rifle. Such a heavy weapon requires almost all of your attention, with the need to counter-balance with such a heavy round loaded, most likely the rest of said attention. Upon a couple of occasions, I could have sliced the width of your barrel apart, leaving you at my mercy-", Bastion made an audible 'hmph' as he smirked to himself, "which I assure you is non-existant."

Bastion drew his blade from the ground, as he twirled it around his frame, resting it upon his shoulder shortly after. He then concluded his little chat.

"So why didn't I? Would you really believe myself to be so honour-bound to avoid taking advantage at your distractions? Or would you believe me when I say I had a reason to stop myself boarding that Morai ship and remain, with more than just a chance fight. But, I shall allow you to decide on that, only you however".

Bastion levelled his sword toward Liam in a flash, the tip wavering by the Knight's abdomen, ready to strike just a little farther.

"I wouldn't want your Spirals to cloud your mind with notions of 'The right thing to do', I would rather let the Warden decide on whether he'd be willing to listen to why I'm here at all". Bastion never shifted his gaze away from Thurian, his blade still poised toward Liam. He awaited an answer for his gambit in coming here and going through all this. Getting captured, awaiting for the arrival of some authority, it all led to this.

Someone was feeding orders and commands to the Morai HQ, and he wanted to find out what. No-one takes Bastion for a fool or a lapdog and gets away with it lightly. Either this mysterious individual was spiral or somthing much worse, and the beast within the armoured shell hoped it was the latter.

The

Thurian had no love for what was going threw his mind. On one side was his want to take the man into custody leaving him to the integration group, the other wanted him to unload the bullet in his gun right into the man's body. "You will find that this weapon won't break just from some one swing a sword into it." he lifted the weapon slightly showing off the many cuts in it's finish. "If you where indeed to attack, it would not be the first time it has taken a blow. As for why you are here and not taking leave, I am curious as to why you are here."

He is playing with us. He could have killed me at any moment now and yet he chose to just wait...Fine. I won't make such a mistake.

"Forgive me."

With every reflex the Warden had he pointed the weapon at the Morai and put his finger on the trigger.

"I will not be as laxed as I was. As for you knight, tell Victoria we have a guest who will be coming with us for questioning by me personally."

Don't fight, you will make be have to do something drastic.

Just don't die

As Bastion leveled his sword Liam remained motionless but a golden shine was covering his abdomen, ready to take the blow.
He swiftly moved his right arm up as it was shining gold smashing the edge of the blade with the back of his hand. blowing back the blade a lot further than one would anticipate from such a dull motion.

"You better get your A game on warden, because otherwise these will be your last words before Bastion brutally murders you."

As Liam walks away he activates his commlink: "To all active snipers keep your eyes peeled on bastion the moment he is about to strike a lethal blow to the warden take him out. High guard Liam out."

As Liam bashed the Blade sidewards out of range, Bastion brought his infamous weapon back to his side, striking into the ground for the 3rd time. He didn't wish to battle everyone in the keep. Throwing away his life for a chance duelling would be a child's mistake, not fit for a Warrior. No, he needed to find out about this mysterious voice behind Morai command, and if getting thrown back into captivity was the only way to do so...

"Very well then Warden, I will co-operate".

The Morai withdrew his sword from the ground and sheathed it back into its holster, hilt remaining in view from behind his shoulder plate. Bastion looked behind him, and in the various buildings surrounding the area.

"Your sniper's arent very good at remaining hidden are they? I could hear them from a mile away". Bastion knew of the one sniper, but of none others. However he knew that spirals liked to be certain and reinforced in their actions, so assumed strongly more were posted around the area. Bastion began to kneel down, and eventually sat down with crossed legs, head down in a meditative position.

"Would you be so kind as to fetch your commander then? I don't appreciate waiting to be captured so sluggishly".

Sistele's back in the game!

Reference

Back at HQ, Sistele got an email on her HUD. Meet me in my office. -Cmdr. Barbossa

Uh oh. I'm in trouble, aren't I? To be called to the carpet so tersely was never a good sign. With the pit of her stomach already churning in butterflies, she showered, wiped down her gear, put up her hair, and stepped out into the hallway. At the end of the hallway stood the office door, seemingly miles away. She took a step forward, feeling no closer to it than she was a moment ago.

What did I do?
Was it my retreat?
Was it my lack of victory?
Was it my fraternization with that hot guy?
Maybe it was lack of skill against that woman?

Her heart began to pound hard against her breast as question after question piled into her mind. What if I get reprimanded? I might get demoted, or even dishonorably discharged! My life would be over! She gazed down the hallway. The door still stood there, challenging her, no, daring her to approach it.

She took another step forward.
Then another step.
And then another.

Then suddenly, the doorknob appeared.

She put her hand on the doorknob. It felt cold and heartless, just like the man behind it, squeaking ominously as she turned it counter-clockwise in her hand. The door creaked open, widening the crack of darkness lying in wait behind it. Further and further it opened, until it stopped about halfway.

She couldn't bring herself to open it fully.

Here goes nothing. Or everything. She closed her eyes, drawing a deep breath to calm her raging spirit. A true Morai showed no fear to her foes, whether they be foreign or domestic. She would show him the true face of courage, even in the face of bitter defeat.

She swung open the door and marched inside.

The Cycle

Looking down at the man Thurian just deadpanned. He was not sure what to make of it but at the same time he felt glad the Morai decided not to attack him. Still he did not lower the weapon, knowing full well what a cornered man would do in this situation.

"If I was to say one thing, I would just say this. By all rights I am a Officer of the Spiral Order and as such I am aloud to take your surrender. If you elect to have some one higher then me take your surrender that can be aranged but not on a battle field, rather in a office were no weapons are present. As for the request you made to summon a higher up, it will be sent off but I can not say for sure if they will hear you out."

Thurian looked over the man, his mind thinking of some reason behind the dark want in his mind. I wanted to fight this man, no I wanted something else. Perhaps its my nature to want to just end this man? He is just a hindrance at this point, useless to the mission and we have no orders to take prisoners. The simple thing would be to cut our loses and either chase him off or kill him right here and now.

Thurian felt his finger slowly squeeze and relax on the trigger, never giving enough pressure to cause the hammer to fall but enough to fell the pressure on the trigger it's self.

hindrance's need to be removed, other wise they just complicate the mission...

Thurian starred a hole in the man, if not for the fact he had the helm on to cover his face everyone could have seen he was on the verge of killing this Morai.

A Contained Specimen

Victoria looks at the black blot of the figure Nile mentioned, but brushed it off. She'd have to take care of that later. Her priority right now was the High Profile Morai prisoner they now had in custody.

As she made he way to Bastion, she looked him over. He was stockily built, clad in heavy armor and a heavy blade by his side. An exemplar of an Executioner. But Victoria had been on the battlefield, and she's seen bigger threats.

"Tell me," she said. "Why did you surrender? You speak of honor in combat and engaging the enemy, but in the end you shove your blade in the sand and yield. Why?"

She gripped he blade harder in case he lashed out. Bastion was put in the high security cell for a reason.

Reasons.

Bastion sighed to himself, and looked stared into Victoria's eyes, with a cold and merciless stare.

"I dont like theatrics in rest or on the battlefield, so I shall be blunt. The Morai HQ are taking orders from a higher power, and expect us to act like lapdogs to their cause. I found out about this due to Barbossa's lax attitude toward secure documentation. Unfortunately, I haven't much idea on how deep the roots fall within the Morai command, so cannot do much to overturn such a being. However, the only other militant force able to do anything about it is".

Looks up and down the commander judgingly.

"Well, you were the only choice unfortunately...However, how would I know that your own force isnt effected by such a figure either? I suppose this is a bit of a gambit, but Id die with honour, than live as some omniscient's pup". Bastion spit in disgust at the notion, to his side.

"You could do as your revelling Warden wishes, and put a round into my head. Or you could co-operate and stop this concern from becoming yours if it hasn't already". The Morai took out a whetstone from a recess in his armour. Unsheathing his blade, he lay down the sword on his knee, and began to sharpen the weapon in a series of sheening strokes from the stone, awaiting an answer.

Planning, In Motion

DAOXIN

I hadn't moved from my spot? Why hadn't I? I'm just standing, watching, waiting. Yet no one really sees me...but that must mean they can't deal with me. Of course. No one would ignore me if it weren't for a good reason. I mean, I'm totally fine being alone. Yeah. Absolutely fine...

But the real reason might be that my past continues to reach out for me. This was one of the times in which it executed it's right to remind me.

A man on a horse. He ran through the ever-enclosing woods around him. The branches, the trees, they moved in. Their hunger wasn't to be satisfied. No, the man thought, I shall feed them otherwise.

A castle, looming in the distance that stretched before the man, reaching toward the heavens, despaired as it was plunged in the ground. It was glorious, a monumental jewel. If it could only fly...but alas, the illusion of its life was cast aside as it continued being still. And a young woman stood in the highest tower, watching below from her window for the man. It was getting dark, and they knew what happened in the dark. No one else wanted to know, but they had to. If they didn't, they'd die.

And so, a man galloping home on a horse to his wife. A hunger wood, swirling around a jewel of architecture. And two children, sitting in wait of when their mother would come into labor, and give them life.

Daoxin waved off the images. No, now was not the time. He walked toward the group, his eyes glittered and gleamed as the images wore away from them.

"Who in their right mind would go against Bastion?" he inquired harshly at the man who had challenged the Executioner. "Explain to me this; What good does it do to split the work when you can do just as much together? Hm?! I might be in awe, and all of you may have pretty eyes, but the question doesn't waver."

It's the Illuminati Man!

Higher forces...he seems a bit justified for a Morai dog.

Victoria listened to the stone scrape across the blade's steely surface. She looked back at the now smoldering ruins of Knossos Ridge.

If this omniscience is capable of such devestation...the whole reason we've been fighting could have been the doing of some madman who wanted to screw around with our species...

A glowing sigil appeared on Victoria's palm and the image of another knight shimmered into existence.

"Marcus, prep a holding cell. We're bringing a prisoner."

"Honestly, and this is just me speaking out loud. I don't give a damn about anything anymore save for my son, the only real family I have left. If we have to kill a god, then be damned we kill a god. As for this one, I suppose this means he is a Prisoner of War now..."

Shaking his head the Warden pulled the trigger, a flash of white as the round sorred threw the air hitting the sand right beside the Morai. Thurian took the recoil with no sign of distant, rather using it to move his hand up and reload in the time it took for the bullet to dig into the sand. HIs hand trained in the way of ranged weapons it looked like a simple jitter of motion.

"Well, shall we move?"

*sigh*

DAOXIN

He sighs dejectedly. Was his existence so hard to get through these people? Just like his parents...

But now wasn't the time for reminiscing. He knelt down, and picked up a stone, throwing it at the man who had just let a bullet out at the Executioner. "OI! I'M TALKING TO YOU! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" he yelled. He glared at the man, clearly upset. Any ignorance will be confronted and ended.

Bastion smirked, as he mocked with bemusment from the new comer, directing his voice toward him.

"Sticks and stones may break his bones, but silly threats wont harm him. Unless ofcourse it comes from me it appears. I believe I riled up the old horse". Bastion kept sharpening his blade, a distinct sheen becoming quite clear upon the edge. He then directed his words to the spirals once more.

"I escaped by my own hand you know. Ever wonder how your troops were calling for backup within before the breach had even become such a major issue? I understand all you know to do with Morai is lock them up and throw away the key, that or kill them".

Bastion glanced upward to Victoria, then back onto his sword.

"But when one comes with words which register such a pause of thought from a commander like yourself, I believe Id be more exclusive than to the refines of a Prisoner of War camp".

You!

"Wipe that smile off your face, violator! Your words are none compared to those that come from my lips...you have nothing better to do, and waiting here bickering all day would be a waste of sunlight, so I suggest you come with us now, or we take you by force." He face the Morai man, looking him dead in the eye. One hand on one of his blades, the other clenched into a fist. He walked toward the man slowly, getting a better stare into his eyes. "I'm sick of all this complaining. Act now or act later. It's boring otherwise." He smirked and examined the man, his eyes darting around the armor.

Weak spots were the eyes, neck, and waist, where the armor separated more widely. If he could just get a solid direct kick...

Bastion let out a small 'hmph' before raising his torso, and planting his hands onto the ground. Twisting himself upward, he made a powerful sweep toward Daoxin's lower half. He wondered how the Spirals would take to some punk trying to take out their most reknowned PoW to date.

He thought not well as he swept.

Caught, and Refined

DAOXIN

He was caught in the kick, taking the blow with dignity, grabbing the leg, he flipped him and himself over, planting a knee on the man's back, he leaned in to whisper. "Force? Force isn't anything to a juggernaut. Now, fight more, or attack after a good, refreshing nap?" He place his hand on the Morai's neck gently, wanting to blast Sleep upon this man, but keeping his gentlemanly form about himself.

(Mind me Seatus I was a little late to respond)

Walking up the the two who seemed be in a scobble Thurian holstered his rifle and with every ounce of straght the leviathen of a Warden had he dead lifted the man. Since they where of course detracted with one another Thurian had ever advantage one could get. Right throwing rocks.

"Son, I don't give two cents who you are, what you are or what you might want to do. So help me if you do anything like that again I will take the responding steps and remove any threat to the mission."

Sounding more like a monster then a warden Thurian dropped the man and looked at Bastion. "You, lets go we have a long march ahead of us. And if this man wants to keep pushing his luck at me I won't have to worry about his head." Looking in the direction of the allied sniper who was still watching the fight of course he smirked unseen. Turning back to the rock tosser he just pulled out his blade and Shield walking behind Bastion and pointing him in the direction of the closest working ship.
