Anna fell, her fingers slid away from the cliff- and for the first time in forever, she smiled. The pain, it was gone. Her form melted away into the lava below, thank you... tears seeped down her ruined eyes, past her cheeks, before evaporating into thin air. A hand reached up into the heavens, now deformed, thanks to Wesker's doing, but deep inside, you could see those soft fingers that once hugged you, loved you... the flames licked at Anna. Almost gone now.

“Elsa...”

Her torso vanished...

“I...”

She looked up at her sister, a final tear drop came down...

“... Love you.”

The Neo-Nemesis was gone.

Anna's lifeless hand vanished into the inferno below.

Never to be seen again.​

He walked away while letting his Persona fade away from visibility, him casually walking over towards Emiya and seeing the both of them sitting down as he decided to relax near the forest as well, him simply gazing out over at the beach and at everything else seeing all the blood, remains, and limbs that were still everywhere. It was practically like Jaws times 1000 on land had happened, and Adachi enjoyed the sight of the aftermath of so much bloodshed. He looked then at Saber before gazing back at the bloodstained beach, letting out a content sigh despite the stench of blood and gore that was seeping out from the beach area.
Ahh...such a lovely sight, isn't it? It's like the battlefield after a war. Someone like you must be used to a sight like this, right?





@Reaper Jack


He gazed over at Emiya, a rather content smile on his face as it seemed that whatever was hurting his head earlier when he used his Persona was gone. Perhaps it actually hurt him to use Magatsu-Izanagi...? Whichever the case, he never seemed to mind, and was quite happy to unleash such devastating power.

Saber got herself up and simply stood there; staring at some point in the sky above. She remained like this for some time before deigning to respond to Adachi's query; finally, she turned her head sidewards at him and spoke; her voice soft and regretful.


"Yes. I am...used to it. Though I wish I wasn't. But then...a king must lead; and I was the one to take on that mantle. I chose this sight to be forever my waking nightmare."


She turned away, her eyes downcast. Sitting back next to Emiya; her sword embedded in the soil beside her; she was then the very image of her own futility. A girl who took on all the injustice in the world as her own problem. A saint; for whom everything she had once accomplished had fallen apart mere years after her exit from the stage. Emiya chose this moment to speak.


"Knights cannot save the world. They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield. Such illusions, perpetrated by heroes throughout history, have led countless young men to their bloody deaths, all for the sake of this valour and glory. In her heart, Saber has begun to realise this, knowing what became of her realm once she was gone. She was glorious, but led thousands to their deaths; she was saintly, but many sins were committed both under her and in her name. Her entire life is one long period of regret for her. That is why she turned to my world, my wish, my war. To me. Understand this Adachi, and you understand our position."


Saber cast a tired gaze at Emiya; she wanted to argue, to tell Emiya that everything that was just said was a lie. But she couldn't, she could no longer hold herself high. She had already decided; to do everything over...yet still she grappled with herself over whether or not this course was right...

 

[Akibahara]

"Don't get carried away just yet, monster. You didn't let me finish my trick."

Krauser leapt into the air, swinging his giant knife arm down at an arc, boom! The earth quaked, the powerful appendage plowing into the forest's underbrush, "Your trick means NOTHING." Fwoom! Bursting at incredible speeds, his mutated arm sprang open, revealing thin flaps, they appeared dense and tough, as if it could deflect bullets--and it charged straight toward him.

 

[BloodThunder27]

Naturally, as Jill had wanted Claire dodged the shot, simply by leaning her head to the side, feeling her hair rustle a bit as the bullet whizzed by. Catching Jill as she rushed at her, in sort of a power struggle stance, where Claire grabbed on to Jill's hands as she charged, not putting much power into holding her ground, simply pressing her wrists forward into it. " It's simple really, I allowed myself to follow a path that was much more rewarding and much more worth my time, if you actually understood what logic was, you would choose it over a petty connection to someone simply by a surname. " The strength Claire was exhibiting was clearly that beyond her own, for Jill the feeling should be familiar, considering she had foolishly gone hand to hand with Wesker before.
-- I look forward to seeing you then, and oh? Did you really? Either you're clearly mistaken, and you've only bested him for the moment, and if you really have defeated him. Then you shouldn't be underestimating me, I'm on a whole different level than he is. --

Even though Claire was genetically enhanced like Wesker was, it didn't stop Jill from attempting to kill her. Whatever was enhancing her, Jill knew that at some point, she'd be able to overcome Claire. It wasn't long before the two were in an all-out Brawl/Cat Fight.

Elsa made herself watch as Anna fell into the lava.


"Don't look away. If you look away, someday you'll regret it," she told herself.


She watched her sister die, listening to her words.


"I love you too, Anna. Goodbye."


Princess Anna was no more. And with her died a part of Elsa's heart, a part that would not ever be the same again.


The queen placed a hand over her aching heart, a whimper escaping from her lips. She went on hands and knees, tears bursting from her eyes. She cried. Both from the relief that this was finally over and from the grief of losing one of the people she cared about most. Icy explosions filled the air around her, as if mimicking her upset emotions. The ground shook, but Elsa barely seemed to notice it.


"I'm alone now," she whispered, feeling another brief shake of the ground, as if the world were trying to shake some sense into her.


She wasn't alone. Elsa just needed to find him.


"Solaaaaaaaaaire!" she cried, as loud as her voice could manage. Elsa needed to get back to her knight, if he was still alive. And she needed to get out of here.

Spy shrugged,
Spy kept his revolver trained on the man's face, or what he could see of it. The bastard would probably keep his word, Spy knew that. But, would he be able to slit Debra's throat after Spy blew a hole in his head? Suddenly, Spy had an idea. He slowly moved his revolver, switching targets. "I'm sorry Debra, I have to, there's no other choice," he said, seemingly giving up. Suddenly, he fired. The bullet raced through the air, before smashing through Debra's leg, hitting critical muscles and tendons. Debra's leg collapsed from underneath her, as she fell to the floor, leaving Nicholai exposed. Within those few seconds, Spy proceeded to empty his whole Revolver at the man's face. (Good idea? )

(( Yep! ))


Nicholai's eyes widened, a bullet plowed through his skull as he released Debra, CLANK! ... The cop could hear the Umbrella Commando's rifle collapse onto HQ's tile, bullets dislodging themselves from the barrel--shortly before the Umbrella Operatives within the room opened fire at The RED Spy, Debra, and Leo Barnes. The 5.56 rounds blew through Nicholai's corpse, through his rifle, all aimed toward the trio--boy, Umbrella sure wasn't happy!

[/QUOTE]
Claire stood across from Jill after what had seemed to be nearly a hour of brawling, the only signs of battle on her were a faint scratch or two along her cheek, and another on her forearm. She sighed, shaking her head again as she did earlier, only cracking her knuckles at this point in the fight. " Jill, please don't tell me you've gotten rusty after only a year or two... " She gives Jill a small, mocking pout, as if they were having a friendly spar or something similar. " Please, if you're trying to fight me like you would fight Wesker, take a moment to reconsider. I'm in an entirely different league from him. "

“I see.” Nicholai nodded, “... Don't make any smart remarks, Miss Morgan. Now, I'm going to ask you one more time—failure to provide anything will result in... consequences.” Flipping the safety off the rifle, she felt it dig deeper, “What. Is. SHIELD. Planning.” The Umbrella Commando leaned forward, a low guttural laugh erupted from his belly, he enjoyed this, “I'll give you five seconds: Five... four... three... two...”
He cuddled up to her, “... Mebbe.” He held little Janice up, “Here sweetheart, give mommy a kiss!” Her little bulb head merely looked around confused, Adam pressed her lips against Annie's cheek... she opened her eyes wide in shock—unfortunately, Janice doesn't know what a kiss is.


Pop! Pop! Nicholai growls, a bullet plowing into his arm, while the other, lodges into his bulletproof vest, “Get them!” Immediately, 50 operatives spring to life, all sporting M4 Carbines, a volley of rounds charges toward Leo!

(Alright, just FYI, the website is getting screwy again.)


Annie giggled as Adam lifted their daughter up to peck her cheek, putting an arm around Adam as she looked out at the fiery sky with a sigh.


"I love the that colour...that...dark orange..."

[/QUOTE]
Upon hearing the words spoken by Saber and Emiya, he smirked and held his hands on his pockets, gazing out at the bloodied beach before looking up at the sky as he then spoke up in response to what Emiya said. It was a little strange, but Adachi didn't even resist the words spoken by Emiya, nor really argue with how Saber said it. He understood they each formed their own little duo, like both sides of a coin or the face and back of a card. One was still trying to uphold the ideals of fighting and glory in warfare, yet it was obvious who was more assertive of the two in the conflicting views. Adachi himself sided with one personally, however..


Hehe...those guys fighting for wars and their own ideal image of war and glory? I've never been much of a fan of that, even when I was little. Life doesn't give you any sort of options, it just sucks. The only thing you can do once you realize the pit of normality you're in in life is despair. That's why you should enjoy life and take the easy path, and trying to fight for glory or for your own kind of ideals, that is just foolishness. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to fight, there is only fighting, and it's fun as hell for me as well as seeing just what kind of idiocy comes my way that I can throw bitches and whores into peril because of it. Next to none ever think about what really matters in life, and if one ever does, they just have despair, the ultimate game over. That's why when you fight, it is simply for the sake of fighting. Those who fight for others instead of right or wrong...those are true knights according to the stories, but life just always gets in the way. Life is full of shit, plain and simple as that, and there is no "right" or "wrong" in battle or everyday life. I'm glad to see a man such as yourself hasn't lost himself to sugar-coated fantasies that storybooks prattle on about endlessly.





He chuckled softly to himself, looking to the side as he spoke a few words that no one would really ever expect the detective himself to say after all the things he's said and shown. And his face actually looked...a little sad.





Of course, there is always that dumbass who keeps coming back into my mind in my life...and no matter how much I find him to be wrong, he won't get out of my head. "Friendship and bonds" huh...? What a bunch of bullshit...yet for some reason, I found myself doubting what I think while I was in prison.

 

[Croissant]

--You're just as arrogant as he was, he also said he was at a godly level, you are all the same, that means that your death will be just as merciless.--

Solaire raised his head again, having heard something... He heard, his name?

An Echo seemed to be carried through the forest, he ran towards what he believed to be the source, near a mining facility.

He shouted Elsa's name several times, as loud as he could, he needed to find her, Solaire looked into a a tunnel that led into the depths of a mining shaft, he shouted Elsa's name.

"ELSA!"

Krauser leapt into the air, swinging his giant knife arm down at an arc, boom! The earth quaked, the powerful appendage plowing into the forest's underbrush, "Your trick means NOTHING." Fwoom! Bursting at incredible speeds, his mutated arm sprang open, revealing thin flaps, they appeared dense and tough, as if it could deflect bullets--and it charged straight toward him.

Shiki knew that he couldn't hope to match this man with brute strength, so he'd have to rely on his cunning, speed, and agility to get him out of this jam. He rolled to the side in an attempt to evade any attack that would come his way, letting his training and instincts take the wheel for him. Quickly getting back on his feet, he dashed towards the mutated Krauser as fast as his body and his instincts would let him, eyes planted on a Point of Death located right above the man's brain. Lifting his knife, he began to thrust it towards the point.


"I said don't get carried away just yet!"

Annie giggled as Adam lifted their daughter up to peck her cheek, putting an arm around Adam as she looked out at the fiery sky with a sigh.

Adam nodded, "Me too. So, uh, yeah, sorry for-er, you know, doing nothing for the big fight."

The 5.56 rounds blew through Nicholai's corpse, through his rifle, all aimed toward the trio--boy, Umbrella sure wasn't happy!

Spy dived behind an overturned desk, using it as cover. He reached his hand into his back, looking around for something, anything. He remembered Engineer's death, all because of him. If he hadn't brought hi- SHUT UP! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SELF HATRED! he shouted at himself, as he grabbed several of the devices, and pressed their buttons, tossing them onto the floor. Suddenly, two men appeared next to him. A large bear like man, carrying a minigun, and a man with glasses, wielding a strange glowing weapon. "UBERCHARGE!" the Medic shouted, pulling the trigger, as he and the Heavy were consumed in eerie red light.

The Heavy and Medic stood up, distracting the Umbrella Opperatives, as the Heavy opened fire with his minigun, slowly sweeping across the room, killing everything in his way. "GO LITTLE MAN!" Heavy shouted, "TAKE FRIENDS WITH YOU!" Spy turned, grabbing Debra's wrist, and pulling her to her feet, as he proceeded to guide her out of the room. "Leo! Meet us on top deck!" he shouted back at Leo, as he left the room. Once Debra was safe, he let go of her wrist, charging on down the corridor, looking for someone else to kill.


((Is it alright if I find Claire and Jill?))

I'm in an entirely different league from him. "

Jill did take into account that Claire was completely different from Wesker. What she also took into account that Claire's attack patterns were completely different from Wesker, but then Claire also saw herself as above Wesker and was starting to get arrogant and cocky, which was going to be her downfall. Jill decided to continue fighting Claire, since no one was going to be intervening anytime soon. Although she didn't have any Superhuman Enhancements, Jill made up for it with her fast reaction time.

​

-- Oh poor Sun knight.... I may be on a different level from Wesker, though I never said I was a god myself, please think for a second before generalizing, then again I would expect that from someone at your level of intelligence. Though, I look forward to you trying to enforce this 'death' of yours. As if you even killed Wesker to begin with --

Lifting his knife, he began to thrust it towards the point.
"I said don't get carried away just yet!"

Krauser paused, the knife thrust deep into the Las Plagas infectee's cranium, the US SOCOM vet felt time slow down- falling on both knees, blood seeping from his head-- "Uuugh..." He fell forward, Shiki's knife embedded in his skull, eyes wide open. Thing is though, from what you've seen, the Umbrella B.O.W.s, given their extreme power, was he really dead? Or was Krauser faking it? If you examined his vitals, they were nonexistent. Strange...

 

[Jeremiah]

Adam nodded, "Me too. So, uh, yeah, sorry for-er, you know, doing nothing for the big fight."

Annie smiled at him and cuddled into him.


"It's fine, it's fine...I understand some people are just weak."


She said it too sweetly for it to sound like an insult...


"Though...I've never seen people as weak as this. Not you, I mean, those weird crazy people."

// FUCK THE WHOKE POST, I HATE BEING LATE


He began to fire back at the men, quietly with the silenced MK14, he was taking carefully picked shots before he was shot in the chest. He gasped and felt the small "ping" of the bullet fall onto the floor as it hit the bullet proof vest. He hadn't noticed Debra being held by Spy, before hearing the call from Spy himself.


Leo nodded as he began to run upstairs, still firing back at the Umbrella Corps. Men as he looked back up, now ignorant of the whole situation. He needed everyone who was a survivor off this ship, even if it meant his death. Once up, he would quickly hug Debra and Spy "Thank you Spy, thank you!" As for Debra, he'd let go of Spy and hug her tightly, kissing her with a deep affection, his finger brushing her chin. "I'm glad your safe..."

Claire had to admit Jill was certainly had her own prowess about her, but also, she was merely toying with the poor woman. This was due to the small part of Claire that hopelessly clung on to her past self, but non the less, she didn't let it cloud her mind, keeping up with the pace that Jill could produce. Not exceeding or falling beneath it at any point, keeping the match even. " Is this really what 'normal' humans do? Just fight against superiority, or a new outlook, simply because they don't understand it? How disappointing... " She commented, dodging another one of Jill's strikes, tossing one back at her, not missing a beat as she fought.
