Drustan Cynbel Late evening, the air chilly and the sun hovers just at the edge of the horizon. The place where Drustan asked to meet up is at an old stone door leading into the mountains. The nearly five foot tall figure is clad head to toe in black metal armour, his hands on the hilt of a two-handed sword. Not too far, there's a beam of light that can be seen from afar, at its base is a fortified military outpost, made out of wood and clearly staffed by a sizable number of troops.
Terry McGinnis Enter behind others silently, is Batman. Wearing the Batsuit, Terry walks silently as he looks at everyone. He too is wearing a black suit, with only a red bat on his chest.
Sarracenia      Usually Princess Sarracenia would make a flashy, grandios entrance onto the scene. But, even she understands that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. So, the princess has brought her personal wooden helicopter - the Dyna - and has landed a safe distance away from the meeting site and the base and walked to join Drustan. The princess is almost a foot taller than Drustan and is carrying a hammer that is as tall as herself and looks heavier than she is with its head the size of a 50 gallon drum.

     She is also wearing black, but her dress has some red accents that might stand out. Not to mention the rubies sewn into the torso and sleeves of her dress. "Is that our target?" she asks whoever is there when she arrives at the meeting spot, looking toward the wooden outpost. "Oh, and when we attack, how much explosives should I use?"
Yang Xiao Long     Roaring through the area, not being subtle at all, is Yang Xiao Long. The blonde is pushing Bumblebee as hard as the motorcycle will go. There's innocents being held and threatened with execution, over food taxes. That cannot stand, there should be enough for everyone. Working together builds prosperity, and keeps the darkness at bay.

    She comes up near Drustan, setting Bumblebee to autopilot to a safe-ish distance after stowing her helmet in the seat box. "So, they'll have probably heard that, what's the plan? I can probably distract 'em at the front gates for someone to get inside and break out the prisoners."
August Kohler A hooded redheaded teenager is here, wearing a cheap mirrored bracelet and with an empty holster at his side, because he still hasn't gotten a new gun. His hoodie is just a normal gray hoodie, and he hasn't taken any special precautions. However, as he approaches, August Kohler turns towards Sarracenia. "Well, we don't want to kill our guys in there. Maybe enough for a breach, but not enough to take the fort down? Until after we finish recovery, atleast." He then glances towards Yang and Drustan. "I can try and get in and pull them out, though in a pinch I can also set this fort on fire. Wood burns easy, after all. Do you have a preference on what we do to these guys, Darkbringer? This is your situation, after all."
Lyria Mason Lyria Mason isn't sure about what they need to fo here other than mess the place up pretty hard she can be down with that but for now? Serpent is as she's already known wa tghere helmet faceplat body suit and her weapons. She moved along with the others and wonders just what they had to do to deal with this place. She looks to Yang and nods "I can handle the busting the prisoners out, I have explosives with me, we should be good there if you could be so kind as to make a show to keep them enterained." She strutted along keeping pace with the rest of the group and made herself ready.
Terry McGinnis Standing up, Terry ... Batman walks up. "I can get in and see where they are," he mentions. Looking at everyone, he thinks for a moment. "And I can do it quietly," he adds.
Drustan Cynbel "The plan is pretty simple. Me an' a few others walk up to th' front door and make a big show, it'll hurt but it'll give th'others a shot at sneakin' in. Get the kids out, kill anyone who gets in yer way, an' get back out. Then we torch th' place to set an example." Drustan explains the plan, and he starts to head forward, making it to the fort fairly quickly. "Yer wit' me." He points at Sarracenia and Yang, "Th'others, go where ye think yer more useful."

And then, the Dark spreads, a cloud of dust infused with magic is kicked up, it's obviously magical, the thing is infused with dark, and he yells. "Hey, ye bastards o' light. I'm 'ere to take down yer stupid beacon, just ye try an' stop me." And that's when he draws his sword, which immediately catches on fire, an unpleasant smelling purple-blue flame. Immediately, arrows strart raining down.
Terry McGinnis Batman looks at those here, "So, what is the layout of the fort?" he asks those here as he watches the the three walk off. "I have a bad feeling about this," he comments.
Sarracenia      Sarracenia smirks as she is selected for the distraction team. "They will think an entire army is attacking them." she says as she starts forward, her huge DK hammer resting over her shoulder. She reaches into her handbag and rummages around a bit before pulling out a cute little black orb with little shoe feet and big eyes that give it an innocent look. It has a golden wind-up key in back and a white top that makes it clearly a bomb of some kind.

     When Drustan calls out and arrows start flying, Sarracenia winds up like a pitcher and throws the little bomb toward the gate as hard as she can. And she has both a pretty good arm and pretty good aim. When the bob-omb hits, it explodes with tremendous force while Sarracenia stays within the dark cloud, hammer held in front of her to block what arrows she can while she nimbly dodges back and forth to try and avoid targeted shots. With her black dress billowing out, she might look like some kind of dark spirit within the magical dust.
Yang Xiao Long     Yang nods to Drustan, "Right." she slams her fists together, and then OH GOD SUDDENLY ARROWS. She jukes off to one side, and with the report of a shotgun, launches herself forwards, aiming to get close enough to the gates that the archers can't shoot at her. She jukes through the arrow storm, some of the sharp arrowheads turning off of her Aura leaving shallow cuts in her skin as she rushes forward. Truly a Berserker.

    Once she gets to the wall, she leaps uppwards, firing another pair of shotgun blasts from her gauntlets to mantle up on top of the wall... "Hey boys~" she chirps happily, before charging the closest one, swiping punches and spinning kicks around at the group to break up their formation.
Lyria Mason had taken a mission for her self she was going to help spring the people in the prison. She would make to move ahead with the rest of the group as the darkl spreads but the fight is staring and she's got to move she's going to hope she can find her way to where the people are locked up and spring them and prays this is the right call but she does need to show support for the other's in the watch, right? So that's what she's going to do.
August Kohler August nods as the group is set to split up, but he pauses briefly when told to kill people. Internally, he doesn't want to do that, but doesn't disregard the possibility of needing to. "Alright. Let's go, then." When Drustan's group heads for the distraction, August starts moving towards the rough area of the prison, sneaking by. He's going to try and nail down the guard patterns in an attempt to ambush and subdue them. He stares into his mirrored bracelet while he moves, ready to signal it off at the exact time he needs to.
Terry McGinnis Sighs and and nods as he disappears as he activates the cloaking of the Batsuit and takes flight heading for the fort. "So were are the cells?" he asks as he follows the other two. "I can sneak in and find them," he mentions.
Drustan Cynbel The prison is indeed below ground, near the eastern side of the fort. The distraction provides enough opportunity to climb or fly past the wall near there, and the guards down below are drunk on what looks to be a clear alcoholic liquid, it sparkles. As in, flashes of light occur amid the liquid occassionally. They're not really in a state to be paying attention to anything, much less infiltrating would be heroes. The thick doors to the cells are locked tight, and there's only one set of keys, attached firmly to the wrists of one of the guards.

At the front, the bob-omb blows open the gate, and soldiers start streaming out, into the dark. Drustan steps forward, swinging his blade at them while he just takes the arrows, many of which fail to pierce his impressive armour, but some do. At the same time, Yang starts taking out some of the source of the arrows, every punch and kick taking one out. Unfortunately, there's a lot of them, and they work together to generate rain.

... well, if rain was essentially composed of sulphuric acid.
Sarracenia      When soldiers start streaming out, Sarracenia reaches quickly into her handbag and pulls out...a chain chomp! She lets out a surprised shriek of her own as the big ball n' chain creatures with teeth like a great white shark tries to chomp her, then she swings it around on its chain and throws it at the incoming guards. It will be quite happy chomping on them, and arrows aren't likely to do much to the cannonball-like creature. It won't be able to chomp hordes of people, but it is sure to be very distracting and cause plenty of harm. "What is that doing in my armory?!" Sarracenia exclaims after she has thrown the chain chomp away. "Honestly, those creatures are hardly even aware. They just chomp on anything that gets close! I am having a very serious discussion with my quartermaster when I get back!"

     With arrows still raining down, Sarracenia keeps her hammer up and charges forward. If she can get in the melee she figures she will be less of an arrow target!
Terry McGinnis Speaking into his radio, Terry adds a suggestion as he flies over the wall. Looking, he blinks, "That's interesting," he says of the guards as he radios people. "They are drunk," he says as he lands and looks at the drinks. "I'll open the door to let you guys in," he says as he goes to the guy with the keys as he drops his cloak. slowly, he takes the keys and than goes to let August and Lyria in if he can open the door(s).
Yang Xiao Long     Punch, punch, punch. Yang is a big yellow and red blur as the explosions from her gauntlets send her from one enemy to the next. She's making a very good impression of a burning pinball... at least until that rain begins to fall. It burns at her Aura, making it flare brightly as the droplets land on her. "Tch, cut that out!" she yells, slamming her fists together. A brief explosion of pure force gives her a splitsecond of reprieve, and a chance to see where the source of the magic is coming from.

    She can't see anything different, so has to do things the old fashioned way. With her Semblance at stage one, it'll be easier, so she leaps, and aims to bring her first directly down into the top of the wall, firing a shell into it on impact to splinter the wood and send a concussive ripple out along it to disrupt and injure... though it does break her own footing, sending her down to ground level with the melee troops.
Lyria Mason Lyria Mason is now in theprison and moving to try and get her hands ont eh keys or in other ways? She's going to think about bloing the cells opens or just use one of gher guns to /shoot/ the locks, on the other hand her Geomancy also givwes her ideas. Shes' going to be trying to creep past them, humm how to get the keys or try to blow the door open? Or she could prey on the fact all of tehm /are/ drunk too.
August Kohler Well, it looks like there's guards. And they're drunk. August frowns, as this might be difficult. He chatters over the radio for a moment, deciding on a course of action. After a bit of talking, he decides to attempt to capture them, killing them if it fails due to the fact the guards will be executed if they fail here. With a slow, but steady walk, August moves forward, bringing the mirrored bracelet up to eye level. He waits right until Terry's about to grab the key, and then he stares deep into the bracelet and shouts out.

"PERSONA!"

In a flash of blue energy, a robotic soldier covered in burn scars and with a gun for a leg appears in front of August. The Tin Soldier silently shambles, and then rushes forward, moving to slam the guard with the key in order for Terry to rip it away. The Tin Soldier attempts to just knock him out cold with an impact to the head, before turning towards the other guard, gun leg pointing up to his head and igniting briefly with fire to get the point across. August grits his teeth and shouts at the guard. "DOWN ON THE GROUND, HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD! Otherwise, I'll immolate you, and it won't be quick."
Drustan Cynbel The inside group moves forward, and the sudden arrival of a strange metal golem terrifies the drunk soldier who isn't knocked clean in the head and knocked out, with some mild bleeding. He's probably got a concussion, but that's the least of his worries. The terrified soldier drops to his knees and raises his hands in fear, a wordless surrender. Terry is thus able to grab the keys and open the doors quite easily, the three kids are wild elves like their guards, looking quite young. If they were human they'd likely be around fourteen years old, and on the border of starvation. They bear fresh torture wounds.

On the outside, Yang punches more of the guards, who fall easily. They're not great soldiers, there's just a lot of them. The more she disabled, the less intense the acid rain becomes. Sarracenia's chain chomp eats a handful of guards before one of the guards pins its chain to the ground with an arrow, after which they keep a wide berth.

And then, the ground shakes and rumbles. The land tears open, and a man in shining armour comes out of the tear, wielding a staff made of brilliant flames. He swings it towards Drustan, spewing forth beams of searing light. The Darkbringer is flung back and falls, when he speaks up, he sounds weak. "... you're no High Elf. You're..." and then he falls unconscious.
Terry McGinnis Grabbing the keys, Terry nods to the guard, "Thanks." and unlocks the door(s). "Lets get you home," he adds as he picks up the three kids and talks over the radio. "Meet you at group point," he adds as he walks towards the exit with the three.
Sarracenia      Sarracenia is about to leap in with her hammer when the ground breaks open. She yelps in surprise and leaps back before getting blasted with a beam of light that sends her flying back into a tree. It cracks lightly from the impact before she falls forward, panting a bit. And it's at that point that she realizes...her skin is starting to sting. Really badly! Like the worst sunburn ever! And spots are starting to get burned in her dress! "A what?!" she demands from Drustan, but he seems down for the count. Sarracenia isn't much better off. She manages to get back to her feet, then hmphs and rests her hammer on the ground, head down. "Whatever you are, we are here to fight injustice! And you are in the way!"

     She reaches into her handbag with both hands and pulls out a handful of different bombs. A bob-omb, a classic round bomb with a fuse, a small missile with a shark face on it, and a stick of dynamite. The princess twirls like a ballerina, gaining speed quickly, then with each spin she launches one of the bombs. Bob-omb first, with it's intense explosion, followed by the fuse bomb that rolls up and sits there a moment before exploding, then the dynamite which does much the same before on the last spin Sarracenia tosses up the missile then picks up her hammer on the last spin and hits the back of the missile with her hammer, firing it like a bullet at the armored light creature.
Yang Xiao Long     Yang pulls herself out of the rubble, her Quake Impulse tearing a big old hole in the wall. She looks around, grunting as the rain, while abated, continues to fall... and then something BURSTS OUT OF THE GROUND WITH A FLAMING STAFF. The Berserker knows when something is just too damn strong to take on, and calls in for the infiltrators to just GET IN THE CAR ITS A LIO--^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^, run away. "Tch, nothing for it."

    That's when she leaps again, firing another pair of bursts from her gauntlets. Midair, she slams her fists together and explodes in a blaze of flame and power. "HEY UGLY! YOUR MOMMA WAS A BOARBATUSK!" she screams, aiming to bodily smash the new figure with a full-on, haymaker from her leaping start. Her hair is ablaze with golden flames, and her eyes are a baleful red.
Lyria Mason Lyria Mason is not liking these high elves at all given how they see the other races and use them fodder, Too much light indeed burns sh muses as they move to get the prisoners she looks to the guards who are now out of it. "By the Gods." She says as she looks as the kids are grabbed by others.She doesn't like it but she has no choice now. She's going to grab one of the kids and go, she doesn't like this world and there's a hate of the High elves already burning in her now...
August Kohler August has no sympathy for these guards, but as the one guard surrenders, he starts moving to tie him up. Starts, because he doesn't finish: as soon as everything explodes, he leaps back, the Tin Soldier keeping its gun trained on the guard. He waits for Terry and Lyria to get out with the prisoners as he frowns, before he takes control of the Tin Soldier again. The Persona moves away from the guard, pointing the gun at the wooden structures around them, and fires. Literally, as flames begin pouring out and engulfing the area.

August turns to leave, but before he does, he speaks to the guards. "I recommend you take control of your fate. Whether that's choosing to die in the fire, leaving him behind, killing yourself, or escaping and making better career choices." He shrugs as if he doesn't care which they do, before he desummons the Tin Soldier and runs for the exit, moving to regroup with the others, leaving the fire to spread wildly.
Drustan Cynbel Yang and Sarracenia provide adequate distraction for the others to flee. The latter throws bob-ombs that explode around the knight in shining armour, forcing to step back and protect himself from the blasts. Then in that moment, Yang's punch hits him straight on, and he is flung back through the wall, and seems momentarily weakened ashe pushes himsekf up.

He speaks up, "By the Light. I, Ardghal Firemountain the second, Chief of Firemountain, demand you hand over the Darkbringer. He is to be put on trial for high treason, terrorism, serial mass murder, vandalism, hate speech and conspiring to kill the Archon of Light." And then, he swirls that staff once more, the ground cracks, and fire spills forth from it. "Defy me and you will be found guily of aiding and abetting with all of those crimes. You will not be given a second chance."
Sarracenia      Sarracenia watches the explosives go off with devilish glee, but that fades when the armored man seems mostly unphased. She huffs, then runs toward Drustan and quickly throws him over her shoulder while she holds her hammer in one hand. "And what of your own crimes of slavery, terrorism, and mass murder? It seems if you are going to punish those crimes, you must punish yourself!" she exclaims before she swings her hammer one-handed. "Start treating all people the same and things like this will be much less likely to happen!" she shouts before she hammers a nearby tree, sending huge shards of treetrunk flying toward the armored man.

     It is unlikely to really hurt him, but its true purpose was to give Sarracenia a smokescreen to run back toward the Dyna with Drustan in tow. Whoever this guy is he's really tough, and they are all pretty worn down already!
Yang Xiao Long     "If you want him, come and claim him." replies Yang as she takes up her stance, fists raised in a boxer pose. She burns as brightly as the staff weilding man stands and cracks the ground with a single sweep of his staff.

    Yang holds her ground as Sarra flees with Drustan, and then grins a bit. She then lashes out, punching the air and firing explosive packets of energy. Much like Sarra's tree-splosion, this is just a distraction method, the explosions kick up smoke and dust, to cover her running away.
Drustan Cynbel The distractions to depart work, and so with an unconscious and very heavy Drustan as well as some poor, hurt but courageous kids in tow, the group makes it out, another blast of light sails overhead as they flee, but it seems this guy for whatever reason does not take the opportunity to chase. Perhaps because at least here he has backup troops.
Terry McGinnis Making it out, Terry covers the kid(s) he as with his body from an explosion or acid as he races to get them to safety. once safe, he will check on the kids and those hurt.
August Kohler Fleeing the (hopefully) burning fortress behind them, August moves to take a breather once they're safe. These people here need some help, that's for damn sure. After seeing what happened there and what happened to those kids, he's definitely interested in helping Drustan in the future when he needs it. For now, they just have to make sure that everyone gets somewhere safe.
