[i][u]Central Unitia - Crossing[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nRocYkjyRk]Underworld[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ycoLQRs.png[/img] Renani: VANIIIIIIIISH!!! He started throwing energy spheres at Haken and Fear. Fear kept repelling them away while Haken dodged and fired back at Renani, who in turn, destroyed the bullets with more spheres. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wN1vwGb.png[/img] Fear: Closing in! Fear started running again, but this time went for a sliding kick. He jumped over it and anticipated the following the sniper shot by moving his head to the side. As he landed, he fired another sphere to shield himself to Haken's bullets, then turned towards Fear to block the incoming strikes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ycoLQRs.png[/img] Renani: Kurgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/7GLN2FW.png[/img] Fear: See how combat gets more effective when you're not stroking your ego? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JeiCSwh.png[/img] Renani: Don't get so confident just because you got me to actually try here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/hNaIPLw.png[/img] Fear: That's the spirit. Keep it up and you'll go far. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ycoLQRs.png[/img] Renani: HAAA!!! She blocked the incoming punch and was pushed away a bit. Then he focused on Haken. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qIDHiet.png[/img] Renani: Guess I know who'll die first. [img]https://i.imgur.com/n7goZpg.png[/img] Haken: I welcome you to try. Haken started firing with his [url=https://youtu.be/0lIcrO5L3aw?t=9m28s]Nightfowl and Long Tomb[/url] guns at the same time. Renani avoided them and closed in, starting to assault Haken with a barrage of fists, forcing Haken into the defensive. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RDPNmHX.png[/img] Haken: Urgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/JeiCSwh.png[/img] Renani: HAHAHA! I wonder how long that black gun of yours can withstand my attacks. [img]https://i.imgur.com/AZYMQZg.png[/img] Haken: I wonder about that myself. Are you willing to bet? [img]https://i.imgur.com/qIDHiet.png[/img] Renani: Yes, but just because my odds are 100% in my favor! Haken dodged to following strike and thrusted Nightfowl into Renani's chest. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jx8jAl0.png[/img] Renani: (Huh? That was actually pretty weak...Guess unlike that broad over there, he's just as weak as any other human...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/n7goZpg.png[/img] Haken: Stake! [img]https://i.imgur.com/GAGCIix.png[/img] Renani: What? Suddenly, Haken activated [url=https://youtu.be/0lIcrO5L3aw?t=9m24s]Nightfowl's built-in pile bunker[/url], launching Renani into the air, he followed up with six more strikes, juggling his opponent and launching him away with the last strike. [img]https://i.imgur.com/GAGCIix.png[/img] Renani: ARGH!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/zxD2AqN.png[/img] Fear: Rider Kick... Without putting much enthusiasm in her voice, Fear dealt a powerful kick that launched Renani at another building. [img]https://i.imgur.com/a8hW6kv.png[/img] Fear: That still won't put him down...He'll most likely get angrier and angrier. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4ysCvPM.png[/img] Haken: What a troublesome tyrant... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ycoLQRs.png[/img] Renani: Grrr...HAAAAAAAAA!!! He fired another barrage of Spheres. Haken took shelter behind Fear. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wN1vwGb.png[/img] Fear: For all of his boasting, I still didn't see anything about him that is gold. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RIUpyFD.png[/img] Haken: Maybe he was refering to his hair or his wealth? [img]https://i.imgur.com/7GLN2FW.png[/img] Fear: Could be... [img]https://i.imgur.com/dJ95Aqa.png[/img] Haken: Now then...how to catch him by surprise one last time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rud68Q5.png[/img] Fear: Think fast...This is starting to tire me out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RDPNmHX.png[/img] Haken: Then we have to decide it on the next round. Haken pulls out an ace of space card, then starts to study his pattern of projectiles, waiting for the perfect opportunity to throw it at Renani. [i][u]Spring Zone - Front of Kaori's House[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQYyDIkMaH0]Forest of the black moon[/url] As both girls arrived there, they saw Hiagor punching away another gangster. It seemed to be the last one. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Hm? Where's Jerald? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vf0a9U0.png[/img] Kaori: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xq3sPpG.png[/img] Andorina: They have captured Kaori's mom, so he's fighting them to take her back....Some guys wearing creepy armors with wings. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7acv6xg.png[/img] Hiagor: Yep...Knew something like this would happen...But wasn't expecting them to get Kaori's mother like this... Hiagor pulls up a notepad. He tries to think which is the safest and closest place for them, then writes down the adress and gives them the paper. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: You'll be going to this place ASAP [img]https://i.imgur.com/I4rYgQb.png[/img] Kaori: Yurei Seimei? That's Ted home right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/nqdrfMm.png[/img] Hiagor: Yes, now get going...oh and policemen, head to where Jerald is, I think he might need backup. Police Officer: What about you sir? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rkbH2xT.png[/img] Hiagor: I need to see these two off. Securing a safe route is priority now. (And to see if my our hidden observer is going to make a move.) Police Officer: Alright. Police Officer 2: We'll do our best. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ikCPFeW.png[/img] Hiagor: Now then, you two should leave now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/848mTcA.png[/img] Andorina: Yes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/o5pfRYM.png[/img] Kaori: Huh? Watch out! Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0zSTHQUOoY]Krieg[/url] Hearing Kaori's warning, Hiagor intercepts someone that was about to attack them from above. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fNiikqH.png[/img] ???: Tch! She noticed me... [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: Took you a while to show up. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0qvaBQ0.png[/img] ???: I was waiting for the perfect moment to attack. You were lucky that the girl we are after saw me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rkbH2xT.png[/img] Hiagor: I dunno...maybe she has what it takes to spot sneak attacks like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BgBPQBf.png[/img] ???: Keep dreaming. They repel each other away. The girls took this as an opportunity to leave. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3jTvEvI.png[/img] ???: Are you sure you should be leaving them alone? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: I'm sure they'll be fine...besides, you don't have any more powerful soldiers around right? I'm sure they can scare a bunch of thugs with just a gun. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vb5W83Z.png[/img] ???: You're right, we have no more Compact Glaiver Soldiers...but I'll tell you this, one of us is still out there, waiting for one of the three to leave the comfort of their houses...Which means that you've made a mistake Mr. Hiagor Marlek. Did you really think we wouldn't have thought of that possibility? [img]https://i.imgur.com/sNNbnyw.png[/img] Hiagor: And what if I told you that Kaori found out about her powers? [img]https://i.imgur.com/8ZBUYtX.png[/img] ???: What? You're bluffing! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: (I'm half-bluffing. I'm still assuming her powers will be something like that since she was summoned by Azura.) Why do you think she has a gun with her right now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vb5W83Z.png[/img] ???: Heh...Even still, we know she didn't leave home after the kidnapping attempt. There's no way she could've praticed them yet. If that's really the case, then she has only her heightened senses to help her, which will not be enough against our fourth unit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/nqdrfMm.png[/img] Hiagor: Again, why do you think she's carrying a gun right now? Maybe it's not only her five senses she became more aware about, but her sixth one as well. You should know since girls can use their 6th sense way better than someone like me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pmmjqcj.png[/img] Hiagor: I'll trust Jerald's judgement, that's all there is to it. Now then, I believe I have to take you down now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/DljPHLR.png[/img] ???: Fair enough...Let's see if you can even hit me with your martial prowess Mr. Detective. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sNNbnyw.png[/img] Hiagor: Can I at least get a name from you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/7eHK5c9.png[/img] Nana: Right now, just call me Nana...Remember it for me in the afterlife. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Sure thing...But today isn't my time yet. Hiagor is the first one to attack, quickly moving behind Nana and attacking her with a flurry of kicks. She jumped away from the barrage and fired an blast of light. He avoided it and ran at her once more. Then, she started attacking back with her own barrage of fists, in which Hiagor had to avoid and take some distance afterwards when one punch was about to hit him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/629nCDO.png[/img] Nana: Nice reflexes...so a Chi Master can still be really fast. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7v7LbaT.png[/img] Hiagor: That's my line. (That reaction time of hers is going to be a problem...If I'm too reckless, I'll just end up wasting time.) [i][u]Spring Zone - Sayaka's House[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-5MNqn99g4]Crash III[/url] Meanwhile, a crossfire between Rosa's energy shots and the enemies energy bullets ensued. The mysterious man kept approaching the house. [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: Kurgh...Guards, it's your turn. Police Officer: Open fire!!! The guards started to fire at the man, but to everyone's surprise, he dodged all of the bullets. [img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/imo321.jpg[/img] Rosa: No way! [img]https://i.imgur.com/hOxIpOo.png[/img] ???: I'll let you on in a little secret...I'm a Psychic User myself. Nothing that you do will be able to reach me as long as I can read your movements. [img]http://oi57.tinypic.com/qyz9k5.jpg[/img] Rosa: Grr...Focus on the glaive soldiers, I'll get him. Police Officer: Understood. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LDqM4hm.png[/img] ???: It's a waste of time...You won't win. [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: If I backed down now, I wouldn't be worthy of being a member of the guild. [img]https://i.imgur.com/egGp12V.png[/img] ???: Heh...So you all are really a bunch of suicidal fools. He keeps his fist half-closes and moves it back a bit, as if motioning for a punch. Rosa knew exactly what that motion meant and ran towards him. The man thrusted his hand fowards and she dodged to the left. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LwzWCKY.png[/img] ???: What? (How did she knew I was going to use my psychic aura?) [img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/2dugm8o.jpg[/img] Rosa: (Thanks for telling me that you're a Psychic User.) [url=https://youtu.be/xo3oAjcakkM?t=2m49s]Unleashing EXS! Mystical Buster!!![/url] Rosa moves her arms behind her and fires an energy blast that propels her foward while also being enveloped in a magic barrier. Her plan was to ram the man with a damaging tackle, he managed to dodge at the last second, but the attack managed to hit his arm, dislocating it from his shoulder [img]https://i.imgur.com/wyJwW7b.png[/img] ???: ARGH!!! [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: Almost... [img]https://i.imgur.com/OOabAzR.png[/img] ???: Fire the blaster shots! [img]http://oi57.tinypic.com/6dwr9j.jpg[/img] Rosa: !!! She focused her attention on the armored soldiers again. They had put their guns away and pointed their right arms at Rosa. The armor on their arms changed into what looked like a cannons, which started to fire energy projectiles, Rosa started firing back at them, but the bullets had roughly an equal power output, making them cancel each other. [img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/imo321.jpg[/img] Rosa: (There's too many bullets, I won't be able to shot them all down.) She dodged back to cover, some of the shots managed to hit the front of the house. Police Officer: Dammit, it it wasn't for that armor, or bullets would have some effect... [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: (If I take my time to shot a powerful beam, that would give time for this guy to enter the house.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/CHggUkF.png[/img] ???: I must praise you landing this strike. It's obvious this wasn't your first encounter with a Psychic User. Anyway. I'll invite myself in to this lovely home. [img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/imo321.jpg[/img] Rosa: Wait!!! The moment she demonstrated that she was about to leave cover, the armored soldiers started firing at her again, blocking her path. [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: Urgh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/egGp12V.png[/img] ???: I guess this is it for you. There won't be any failures this time... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mhb8xS6.png[/img] Kenneth: I believe this is our time to shine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nzNJ8I.png[/img] Sheila: Indeed... [img]https://i.imgur.com/V9XrsY2.png[/img] Soldier: What? Who's there? Reveal yourself or else we'll- Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIX8_UkqrNM]Tenma no Kesshin[/url] Before he could finish the sentence, Kenneth punched him in the jaw and sent him flying towards the other soldiers. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LwzWCKY.png[/img] ???: What the... The man turned around and saw Kenneth, but Sheila was nowhere to be seen. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BmYdvdz.png[/img] ???: The hell? I swear I heard two people. [img]https://i.imgur.com/F798c77.png[/img] Sheila: Don't worry, you're not going crazy. [img]https://i.imgur.com/gU0DIVC.png[/img] ???: AAAH!!! He turns around and does a backstep, seeing Sheila armed with a knife. [img]https://i.imgur.com/xbNiRe7.png[/img] ???: !!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZddpJ0I.png[/img] Sheila: (Such reaction time...Probably even better than Lady Crimson.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/OOabAzR.png[/img] ???: Super speed huh? Well, it won't work twice on me, because I'll be hearing your steps miles away. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0XlXW7L.png[/img] Sheila: I'm betting that your next line would've been something along the lines of "You should've killed me when you had the chance." [img]https://i.imgur.com/P7oZMa2.png[/img] ???: ...If you know this much, why didn't you do it? Are you some confident thrill seeker or something. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vkmu4n4.png[/img] Sheila: I need you alive right now. I just have to make sure you won't escape after I defeat you. Your first instinct after receiving such attack from me would just make you run, afraid of taking more risks. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ICDTpzh.png[/img] ???: Well, you seem pretty knowledgeable about Psychic Users, but that alone won't be enough to stop me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZwccxE4.png[/img] Sheila: You're right, in fact, I did plant a C4 at your back. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LwzWCKY.png[/img] ???: What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/xFtf3ek.png[/img] Sheila: (Yep, he's the paranoid type if he fell for this bluff.) He checked his back to try to see the C4, however, the distraction gave the opening Sheila needed to throw a knife at his right leg. He kneeled in pain after being hit, Sheila then, ran at the man and kicked him in the head, knocking him to the ground. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wyJwW7b.png[/img] ???: Argh... (Wait a second...why someone so fast kicks like a normal human?) Then, he felt his chest being stepped on by Sheila. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9MyyBEb.png[/img] Sheila: You're really easy to scare... [img]https://i.imgur.com/OOabAzR.png[/img] ???: Well then...after this, I'll make you fear my very face! [img]http://oi60.tinypic.com/2jeo6tj.jpg[/img] Rosa: (It's that motion again.) Watch out, he's going to a psychic strike! [img]https://i.imgur.com/qT6P9qh.png[/img] Sheila: !!! Sheila waited for him to do the motion, then did a backstep to avoid the invisible wave. [img]https://i.imgur.com/hOxIpOo.png[/img] ???: (She didn't use her super speed this time...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/fNrDm9l.png[/img] Sheila: Woo...My chin felt that. Thanks for the warning. Kenneth, how are you doing? [img]https://i.imgur.com/jKZFBka.png[/img] Kenneth: I'm managing to give them some trouble. They are not your average soldiers that's for sure if they can stand up after my attacks. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dszHvsc.png[/img] Sheila: Or maybe you're just not trying hard enough. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OnqGYnw.png[/img] Kenneth: Maybe you're right. The man gets up and removes the knife from his leg, using his aura to slow the bleeding. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6JyGQDC.png[/img] ???: If you're some sort of daredevil, then you choose the wrong place to be in. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nzNJ8I.png[/img] Sheila: I'm more serious than you can ever imagine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/q52ig2N.png[/img] ???: Whatever you say. He fired another rocket, then immidietaly tossed the launcher away and pulled a automatic gun and discharged it at Sheila. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0XlXW7L.png[/img] Sheila: (Right now...I wish for strenght!) Her body brifely glowed in a purple-ish aura, then she avoided the missile and kept running to avoid being out of the man's line of fire. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LDqM4hm.png[/img] ???: (That's not the same speed she showed a while ago...) She noticed a little pause on the barrage. Sheila stopped for a moment and ran in the opposite direction, guessing that he would shoot a bit ahead of her to correct his aim. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WUmHAWY.png[/img] ???: (She's no slouch in combat either...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/QPdwCbS.png[/img] Sheila: Haaa! Another knife was thrown, he ducked under it and tossed his gun back at her. She dodged it and avoided the following punch. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qT6P9qh.png[/img] Sheila: (The strenght buff is almost over...Better make this count.) She dealt a kick that sent him to the air, another one to bounce him off and another one to send him higher into the air. Then she did a high jump and kicked him back to the ground. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1cbgZlN.png[/img] ???: AAAAAAAAH!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovv35cy.png[/img] Sheila: I call this one [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5crfV5LAjrY]Bounce Rabbit[/url]. [img]http://oi59.tinypic.com/4i28f9.jpg[/img] Rosa: (She's doing great. Whoever she is, I'm glad that she's helping...Oh, that's right...) Go check on Sayaka. She might be terrified with all of these explosions. Police Officer: Got it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0iBZro0.png[/img] Sheila: Get up! I know you used your aura to reduce the damage. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WUmHAWY.png[/img] ???: Who are you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vkmu4n4.png[/img] Sheila: Just a wild rabbit passing by a stone jungle. [img]https://i.imgur.com/LwzWCKY.png[/img] ???: Don't give me that. No homeless girl would be this strong unless you're an In-Birth. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yayhY6J.png[/img] Sheila: You're totally right. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BmYdvdz.png[/img] ???: (But wait, the pressure of her attacks felt different from the Guild Member. While Psychic Users can't feel other types of energy, their sense of touch can register the kind of damage they receive...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/z7Zt8m5.png[/img] Sheila: What? You don't believe me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/WUmHAWY.png[/img] ???: That was just an example. I didn't actually mean to say that you're an In-Birth. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Nt6VNOZ.png[/img] Sheila: Feels more like an accidental guess if you ask me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wyJwW7b.png[/img] ???: No it's not. Meanwhile Kenneth tricked two soldiers to blast each other. [img]https://i.imgur.com/V9XrsY2.png[/img] Armored Soldier: ARGH!!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mhb8xS6.png[/img] Kenneth: That is certainly one unfortunate tragedy. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XHh8ZXe.png[/img] Sheila: Nice one! [img]https://i.imgur.com/S25QGmz.png[/img] ???: (If that other one manage to finish off those soldiers, I'll be at disavantage...I have to kill this hooded dumbass in the next attack.) [i][u]Spring Zone - Lilina's Residence[/u][/i] Meanwhile Kail was having trouble passing through the tight defenses of the armored soldiers. They've managed to hold him in place, giving Veria time to head towards the residence. [img]http://oi62.tinypic.com/n6875k.jpg[/img] Kail: Dammit!!! Get out of my way you pieces of scrap metal! He started overpowering them, but Veria was very close to enter the house. The Police attacked her with batons, but she easily dodged them and knocked them to the ground. [img]https://i.imgur.com/64hDjEj.png[/img] Veria: Sorry there friends, but I'm invading this castle... When she looked foward however, someone else was charging at her with a hammer. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l726YqVL9-Q]カナンの地[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/MzqkaSk.png[/img] Veria: Wha- [img]https://i.imgur.com/htmVvZm.png[/img] Victor: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUE8Yo2ThU0]Too slow.[/url] The hammer strike was succesful, sending her away. Then, Victor pulled out a pair of twin blades and slashed her with them. After that, he picked a pair of pistols that he had throwed in the air before he attacked with hammer, and then, he fired a barrage of energy bullets towards Veria. Then, Kail pushed the armored soldiers away. [img]http://oi59.tinypic.com/23kajww.jpg[/img] Kail: Whoa, what? (Who's this guy?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/GYL69yT.png[/img] Veria: Urgh...YOU!!! She seemed to know who he is. The man who had left Unitia's military force and hasn't been seen since. His name was... [img]https://i.imgur.com/LV7Ucrr.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mXhfFM5.png[/img] Veria: Ghost of the Kresnik Family...what are you doing here? I thought you left with your tail between your legs. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tyaNy2.png[/img] Victor: I just moved to a place where I can fight for what I believe in...that's all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/g4w8c4q.png[/img] Veria: ...hmmm [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tyaNy2.png[/img] Victor: You over there, take care of these armored soldiers. Even if they can withstand your attacks, they can still faint if you hit them hard enough in the head. [img]http://oi57.tinypic.com/2mji47.jpg[/img] Kail: O-Okay...I knew that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q5ab1Cr.png[/img] Veria: You know...guess I'll forget about Lilina for now. You're a much valuable target to capture right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tyaNy2.png[/img] Victor: I can already guess why...You're after my chromatus right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JN97XSm.png[/img] Veria: That's right! The transformation ability that your family is known for is going to be great research material for the compact glaives... [img]https://i.imgur.com/3n7YrII.png[/img] Victor: Then come and get it...but I won't garantee that you will be sucesfull! [img]https://i.imgur.com/t2LoUQt.png[/img] Veria: Well said...I won't let you escape!!! Veria runs at Victor, meanwhile, Kail continues his fight against the four armored soldiers.
