Fantasy Department of Defense Against the Supernatural

[Sleipnir]

Piper grinned as Liliana floored the boy. She was sure that technically she was supposed to discourage this sort of behavior, but she wasn't really and agent and thus not Piper's problem. And it wasn't as though Greyston would have done any differently.


She hesitated then. She moved past to go back to his room, concern once again coming over her.


Bael had since stormed off and paused near Greyston's room. He could see the vampire was inside, clearly not in good shape, and Bael tilted his head back. He meandered in, intending to try and wake him up before he moved to kill him... After all, how could it be any different than simply stabbing a corpse if he wasn't awake?


Bael pulled one of the chairs up next to Greyston's cot, then sat back. He was fairly certain he couldn't wake the vampire up. He could wait, though — and he had time. Bael had always had time.

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

"Damn it... I guess I really will be going into this without combat experience. Plenty of bad opinions, but no training. Great first day." He said to himself, brushing the blood off of his lips. Luckily, he couldn't feel the pain from the throbbing side of his face.

 

[Hel]

Liliana smirked to herself, happy she had drawn a laugh from her audience, though she knew the boy was probably a bit to dense to get the lesson. Ah, whatever. She turned to those watching with her usual stern expression and asked, "shouldn't you all be getting ready?"


Melody had been laughing, too, creating the sound of a laugh track from a sit com as it did. The elemental appeared in front of Kyuma and offered a hand to help him up with a smile. It probably wouldn't be too useful, but the poor guy just had an example made of him by Liliana.

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

Kyuma reached up, standing with a smile. Thanks, Melody That didn't go as I'd hoped, but its alright."

 

[Sleipnir]

Bael suddenly felt the chair under him jerk, and he was thrown to the floor across the room. He scrambled up, not thinking to hide the surprise and found Piper there, having thrown the chair. Bael didn't hardly have the time to think before she was on him again with an iron weapon - he couldn't see exactly what it was - and he felt it slam into him. He stumbled back, but Piper kept on him until she had him down once more, now in the hall. She kneeled down, one knee through Bael's chest and thus not actually doing her any good, and she slammed the iron down next to his face. "Do not let me catch you in there again," Piper hissed. "I will kill you. Make no mistake, poltergeist."


Piper looked up where a few others were standing by, silent and frozen. Piper stood up. "Get guards on Greyston. I already made that order once." She cursed under her breath, storming off to go deal with said guards.


Carefully, Bael stood up, suddenly very sore. He didn't very well get along with iron, as any ghost wouldn't, and he glanced back at Greyston.


Not today, he thought. Carefully he edged away, back toward the main lobby and hoping that no one had really witnessed that.


He found himself among the others, some of who hadn't yet recovered after Liliana's little show. He frowned, but didn't ask what exactly had happened. He found a place in the corner of the room and leaned against the wall, watching everyone else.


 
He hesitated for a moment as he watched, then fell in near one of the other agents. "What's happened?" He asked, unsure if he was asking in general or if he was asking someone in particular.

 

[Hel]

"The Valkyrie floored the perverted kid." One of the agent- a phenix with fiery red hair and amber eyes told him. "It made for a good show."


Melody smiled at Kyuma, "Everything will be just fi-i-i-ine." It sang, nodding, singing to him the wise words of Matt Theisson. Looking around it saw Will and headed over to hang out with him and Justin.





Liliana finished picking out and pulling on the armor to make sure it fit. It was old fashioned, but so was she. She said little to anyone else and went off to find some food, passing through the main office area where Wednesday and Caden were on the way.

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

Kyuma stretched, and decided if he couldn't get a fight the old fashioned way, he'd just train like anyone else...though he had no idea how other people went about training. He went wandering, hoping to come across a training room or gym of some sort.

 

[Sleipnir]

There were a few agents outside in the street, training a few new recruits with basic fighting techniques.


Bael nodded slowly, almost grinning. "Well - if you aren't dealing with a gentleman, you can't really respond like a lady," he said. He leaned against the wall, watching the others.


Piper took a deep breath, calming herself. She saw the people working in the street, and decided to go out and help. It'd be much easier this evening if some of the newest members were at least a little trained. She went out with them, looking around and watching the others carefully. "That was good - your name's Lakeview, yeah? - okay, Lakeview. Next time turn your shoulders when you go into that again. You'll take less shock."

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

"Alright, Kyu...no one's going to help you get stronger, here. At least not today. Just go through the basics..." He said to himself, after finding himself lost. He stepped inside an empty room, and closed the door behind him. He walked to the center of the room, and raised an arm.


"Dragon Booster!" Immediately after saying it, his balance breaker appeared on his arm. "Alright, now for the harder part...Boost!" With that call, he felt a burst energy condense within the jewel at the center of the gauntlet. He focused for a moment, as he prepared for the cool down on Boost to end.

 

[Sleipnir]

Piper nodded. "That was good, Lakeview. Keep that up. Don't wear yourself out too bad though. You'll need energy this evening."


Bael sat down again, sighing slightly and looking out the window. He was getting restless and considered just leaving - they didn't need to keep him here and he was concerned that some delinquent kids would get at the lighthouse in his absence. He shifted anxiously at the thought.

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

Twenty seconds later, and Kyuma had built up three boosts to his normal strength. Times eight. That was his usual maximum. But he wondered if he could push it any farther...


"Well, I'll have to push my limits sooner or later...Boost! he yelled once again. Once the power was drawn in, he reached his arm upwards. "Alright! Explode!"

Jumil is going throough files in the HQ

 

[Sleipnir]

"Everyone inside!" Piper looked up as the night began to set in once more. She turned and went back inside, goin to the front and making an announcement over the intercom. "Everyone, begin preparing to fight immediately," she said.


Bael looked up, then took a deep breath. Now he had something to redirect his anger towards once more. He hadn't forgotten what happened in the smoke. He hadn't forgotten that he was determined to be the one to kill whatever was responsible.


Galleytrot had since sat down, waiting for the labyrinth to release him and Sam.

Jumil looks behind her and rushes inside. she has been preparing for a while

Justin went on to the armory and opted for another body armor, complete with a gas mask. That would help him not get killed and the mask would protect him from the nightmare inducing gas. Putting two fingers on his armor, he recited an enchantment that would protect him, and put on the gas mask. He was looking like some special ops guy, yet it was going to be effective in battle. At the same time, Will entered the armory, and picked himself a huge axe, the one he used when he hunted the aswangs.


''Angel boy'' he said to Justin. ''Enchant this for me will you? I need to decapitate some shadow scums''. Justin nodded and blessed his weapon. He noticed that William didn't grab any armor, yet he figured his leviathaness would help him endure in battle. Both of them headed for Piper, and waited for new orderes.

Jumil casted an light enchantment on herself because, as a half human, she was very susceptible to darkness

''So ...our first wave of soldiers failed huh?'' said Oberon who was comunicating with Penumbra through a crystal ball. ''Seems so...hehe. So everything so far went...exactly as planned. It was obvious though. They'd never guess what we truly desire'' replied the hybrid fused soul. Oberon was observing how things went in the labyrinth. ''Ho-oh...so you want my phylactery. Fine, but not so fast'' he thought to himself. He suddenly summoned an undead mage. ''Activate the true terrors'' he ordered. The undead mage whispered something. Suddenly the gravity within the labyrinth increased 6 times and 30 rather powerful undead knights were summoned as well. Each of them was ,more or less,7 times weaker than Lu Bu, but still dangerous. They all split up went to various parts of the labyrinth , searching for the intruders. For the moment each of them was alone.

Another creatures was released as well. An undead minotaur of sorts wielding two short enchanted blades. It gave off a powerful roar as it was summoned. This creature was 2 times weaker than Lu Bu.

Meanwhile the phylactery was protected by only one creature. A powerful blue demon swordsman with wings. The demon was also enhanced and his sword was esoteric. The enhanced demon was 3 times stronger than Lu Bu and was another one of Oberon's masterpieces.

Spoiler

Sam sensed the gravity increase hugely


Using the bishop piece, Sam dropped the gravity around him in a large bubble. With gravity this high, humans couldn't sustain life. If he used any non-magic piece, AKA Rook or Knight (Pawn wouldn't increase his magic enough to drop the gravity) he'd be crushed by the gravity pressure. Galleytrot should still be able to operate, but with much less speed and jumping ability.


"Galleytrot, I sense a lot of concentrated magic in this maze. We took too long, and the lich caught on to our being here. We're dealing with undead mages here. Since you're a black dog, it should go without saying that you should be using your Poison and Fire magic with this kind of gravity. With 6x gravity, physical attacks are much harder to execute outside this bubble."


"I've analyzed the magic patterns in the shifting walls. They increase slightly every 3 minutes. We have about 1 minute before they shift again. When that happens, we'll be spotted. Get ready to fight."





Luke finished clearing the city, and dropping the 2 dragons. There was nothing else going on at the moment. "Either the lich is done, his focus is shifted to the maze, or he's after something else." Luke put his bots into standby.


He shot to text to Piper "What's going on right now? A lot of the city's cameras have been destroyed, so my view of the city is limited. My distance keeps me from sensing magic there"

Waking up from her long deserved rest Fred first runs her hand over her wrist wound and mutters, "Sanaret." Causing the wound to close as if it jad never been. Slipping on her boots and jacket she goes first to check on Greyston and once she's satisfied that he's resting easily and healing properly she closes the blinds amd dims the lights.


Next she seeks out Piper and finds her by the entrance. "Morning," she says jokingly, "Greystons doing well i closed the blinds and dimmed the lights to make him a bit more comfortable." she looks around at some of the new faces before adding, "Anything you need me to take care of?"

William was staying by the side of Piper, awaiting for order, so he in the meantime he sat down, fiddling with his thumbs. Then he saw him, and in horror, he stared. By his side, suddenly appeared a tattered bloodied and seemingly mad mirror image of William. It was looking exactly like him, and he was glaring at the Kraken as though he wanted to pierce him with his looks. The Kraken's face paled. William. William Stryker, the true William, was standing now beside him, glaring at him. What was this? Was the nightmare gas induced again? What was all of this? He slumped back seemingly scared.


William looked at him, with a cold look in his eyes. It seemed like only the Kraken could see him. ''Heed my words, Leviathan. When I escape out of this soul prison, I won't REST until you are dead and your head is rolling into the blue of the seas'' he said as his image flickered finally dissapeared. Will was scared shitless. The curse was starting to lose it's power it would seem, and in a matter of months, the real William might be out. He had to deal with this. Permanently.

Jumil walks in and faces piper waiting for orders with a lighter aura than normal

 

[Kalin Scarlet]

Downstairs, Kyuma yelled out in pain at the massive amount of energy now flowing through his body. It wasn't what he was used to, but he felt much stronger than normal. He collapsed to his knees, breathing heavily as he stared at his arm.


"*Huff,huff* Again...*Huff* Reset...Explode!" he yelled,the pain rushing through him again, as he released another wave of power.

 

[Sleipnir]

Piper glanced at William, then looked to the others and held up a hand, pausing long enough to text Luke. "It's not like we have crap like Lu Bu out there, but it's not great. Can you come up with some tech magic to clear out the smoke? It's a real morale killer when everyone sees their greatest fears."


Then she looked at the others. "Alright. William, your job will be to take on the biggest stuff you can deal with. You're our bruiser out there. Fred, thank you for taking care of Greyston for me. If you could, stay inside and try and help people who come in injured. There are open windows. If you have offensive long-distance magic, use it and keep an eye on the field. If things get out of hand down there, we will need you. Justin, get out there and take down everything you can. All the civilians should be safe by now." She turned, looking for Sander and Bael. She found both. "Sander, we need you fighting! Get a gun enchanted if you don't have one already! Bael—"


The poltergeist jumped out the window. She sighed, shaking her head. He wasn't in the business of taking orders and it seemed he had a very specific goal in mind. Piper wondered idly if she should pity whatever he had a hit on. "...Right. Where are our recruits? Jumil, before you go out, track them down. I see most of them, but where's the one boy — Kyuma? Find him."


Bael landed, looking up grimly. He had, indeed, put a personal hit on Penumbra and he was certain he'd enjoy killing her. He closed his eyes, trying to track her again before taking off after her.


Galleytrot turned to Sam sharply. He had never mentioned that he was a black dog, not had he intended for that to become any sort of common knowledge.


...Looked like Galleytrot would have to make this one like him. "Right," he said quietly, "poison. Fire. I can deal with that." He shifted into a dog, deciding that this form would be more useful for movement and avoiding attacks. Now or never, he thought. Let's hope we both get out of this.

 

[The Unamed Character]

"You got it." Jumil says as she wait for her. "Wait.... is that the guy that is yelling 'explode' or something llike that downstairs" she asks

 

[Sleipnir]

Piper turned to go but paused to shrug. "Check. If it is and he's out of condition to fight, you bring him to me when I'm available. I'll have a few words for him." She turned to go.


Evans sighed, irritated with this lych. He hoped for once he'd fight it. Holy gunfire in its innards would be at least some sort of repayment for the lost peace.
