Joseph leaped over the incoming attack from Espada. “There you go underestimating your opponent.” The mage laughed as he came down again. “We beat your father when he tried fucking shit up and we’re gonna beat you too!” Joseph roared sending a powerful blast at Espada. The white dragon’s roar. Powerful and deadly. “Just try not to disappoint me.” Joseph cut the blast from his mouth and land quickly lunging at Espada whom he’d assume would dodge the attack or deflect it somehow. He couldn’t afford to give the mage room to breathe. -------------- Chris had listened to Kuro. He kind of understood. He wasn’t sure he could oppose Jessia and meli if they wanted to do something like this after all. Still he wasn’t about to let the Shade’s fuck over the entire world at their own leisure. Amelia tried to speak, but soon was cut off by a barrage of attacks. This was bad. They couldn’t dodge. Or at least she couldn’t. It was a bit easier for him. Especially, since he’d been drinking more blood in the time that he’d known her. Still what bothered him more than Kuro’s disregard for the words Amelia probably would have wasted on him was the fact that she got hurt. “Poor Amelia. Just what am I going to do with you?” He said calmly. Similar to her he’d been hit a bit too. Three ice bullets. He pulled them out quickly wincing slightly at the pain. The wound would heal rather quickly. Maybe it was the blood, but his vampiric abilities had become more prominent. Awakened so to speak. “You should think about keeping your guard up. You aren’t much like me after all.” He said to her calmly before summoning a lizardman and merging with it. Okay so the powers were great. He could heal easily. But that didn’t mean he liked being hurt. He wasn’t some masochist who enjoyed that shit. Although, he did wonder if Saren was. He could probably learn a bit from the older Vampire. Now wasn’t the time for such casual thoughts though. His eyes quickly found Kuro. The look on his face was deadly serious. “Is it just about my turn now?” He asked giving Amelia a chance to get herself together. -------------- Jessica followed Arthur ordering her pet to “Heel.” Her order was simply and it obeyed. “Arthur.” She was more serious now than earlier. It just went to show that she could drop the ridiculousness when the time called for it. She’d taken a glanced around taking in the smaller details Arthur may have missed. One in particular was the collar around the neko girl’s neck. The nervousness and fear. She sighed. This girl probably didn’t want anything to do with this. Her initial plan was to take her down without any remorse, but now. “We’ll need to make sure not to hurt this girl and get that thing off her neck.” She got very close to Arthur as she whispered in a tone low enough so that even the neko couldn’t hear. “Do you understand?” She asked stepping away from. “This’ll take a little more finesse than usual if it’s even possible. And we’ll need to work hard.” She paused. “You can handle yourself under pressure when things get hard right?” She giggled and winked ready to get things started. -------------- “Luka. Relax. If we can we need to try and save BOTH of them.” Tamotsu stated quickly after dodging the first attack as well. “Well… Isn’t this just…” Takashi tried to speak, but didn’t even get the chance as Tamotsu’s hand was on his face. “Fire Dragon’s Grip Strike!” He shouted pushing Takashi back into the wall behind him with a blaze releasing onto the blonde’s face. Point blank fire from a fire dragon… Not really something you would wanna experience. “Gah! What the fuck?!” Takashi shouted after Tamotsu released him. “You were about to get all sappy and awkward and shit now that you, me AND Luka are here.” Tamotsu said calmly. He and Takashi had that kind of connection. They just knew each other. From what they were feeling to how they felt about others. It was easy to gauge each other and catch up with just a look. They could read each other like open books. “Well…” Takashi tried again, but received a knee to the gut before he was thrown in Zephyr’s direction. “Let’s get one thing straight! Whatever happens happens. Got it?! But regardless of all the personal shit. Me and Luka are gonna get you two out of here. We’ll set you free and it won’t matter if we have to beat you both down before we do it.” Well he didn’t care about hurting Takashi. He wasn’t sure if Luka could say the same. He often fought his brother seriously in the past anyway. Takashi was speechless after that.
