Voltages (Closed)

Aaron

Listening to the encounter unfold I was only to listen. Kira pushed me behind her to keep me safe. From what I could feel in the ground, she shifted his weight to lift the sword.

"Kira, Jop," I whispered, I hear a faint grunt from both of them, which means they're listening.

"His sword isn't weighted correctly to him, he's straining to carry it. Not noticeably so, but he is. He's left hand dominant, disable that and he'll drop the sword." I whisper quickly.

He shifts his weight on his left foot.

"He's about to strike, get ready. From the slight angle of his weight shift, he's going to run at Jop, but be ready just in case he goes for you Kira."

"Right," I hear them both whisper. I step back.

Mince

I smiled. She didn't know i had good hearing. I ran at Jop, faking, and slammed my blade at Kira. She slid back and i launched my foot out kicking her into a tree. I smiled. My fire power may be gone, but mhy otber abilities stayed. Kira stood up and attacked me. She sliced and i dodged. She cut my shirt, revealing my Loyalist mark was gone.

Stella

I staggered away as Mince attacked the girl with the sword. "Mince, no!" I shouted. I whipped my bow off my shoulder, ready to defend myself if I had to, but I didn't nock an arrow. Mince slashed with his katana, and then kicked the girl into a tree. I tilted my head to the side--he was dimmer than normal. I tuned my vision to the near infrared, but he was still cold. Why wasn't he using his fire?

The girl recovered quickly, and flew at Mince, her sword outstretched. She slashed wildly, tearing a great gash in Mince's shirt. I gasped, nearly dropping my bow. Mince's Loyalist mark glowed with heat, but I couldn't see anything. Mince's mark was gone!

"Mince!" I exclaimed, my voice a squeak. "What happened to your mark?!"

Nephil

I hugged my brother no tricks this time I promised, it was good to finally end this stupid war. once and for all and allow the Hidden and the Loyalist finally co exist side by side, how long will that last? I have not the slightest clue only the lord knows.

"Let us go find out commrads brother." I said.

Kira Lowell

This guy was weaker than he was when I had first fought him, it was completely obvioous he wasn't as fast or as powerful and his mark was gone to show who's side he was one. This was going to go very bad very fast for him.

Tori

After keeping a close lookout on camp...it got quiet. Almost too quiet. I decided to leave and made my way to find Trevor worriedly. I didn't want him to know I had feelings for him...yet. I see him and his brother hugging when I finally find them and get in defensive mode, standing beside Trevor.

"What. Are we ally's now?" I ask with a smirk.

Trevor

Nephil hugs me, not pulling any funny business, and I realize how corrupt this split had been. On mainly peaceful terms with him, I sheath my sword and watch him do the same.

"Let us go find our comrades, brother," he says.

I nod and begin to walk out with him when Tori shows up.

"What? Are we allies now?" she smirks.

"For now," I answer expressionless, glancing back at her, "Let's go. We have to find the others before they kill each other. This fight is pointless."

Nephil

I whistle for Zaen as we begin walking and she soon comes to my side, mainly staying away from her sister who I knew still held a grudge against her. Someday they'll have to put that grudge to an end once and for all, I really wouldn't want them to end up like me and Trevor for the most part. Travaling though the woods we finally come into a clearing where some of our allies were battling it out, I whitle loudly to get there attention.

"That's enough!" I yelled in a loud powerful voice.

Kira Lowell

Stammering back the fight ends all at once Nephil who was with that other guy, Trevor I think his name was. Comes walking in ordering the fight to a stop everyone takes notice all at once, but I don't stop, not yet. I prepared to use black fang just as the fire demons back is turned to me.

"Mince watch out!" Someone says.

I charge my short sword just barely missing his head as I cut off a few pieces of hair, he looks up to me and I already see him cowering before me.

Mince

I nearly lose my head and I jump back weakly. Damn it I think. Blood drips down my arm. I slide my foot back and lunge back at her.

Jop

He lunges back towards Kira and I sigh. I circle my hand and he freezes instantly.

Twila-
The fight is stopped, besides a small squabble in the corner. Zaen, Nephil and I regroup in the corner. Breathing hard, I sink to the ground, letting the dust coat my fingers as Nephil explains about the peace the Hiddens and Loyalists. A sound somewhere between a laugh and a high-pitched cry escapes my throat.
"Who'd have thought it?" I said, "we've been fighting all this time, and all either of us rather wanted was peace!" But there's still fighting. The triplets, they're not going to settle.
"We're not done fighting yet," Nephil said, noticing this. Now we had allies to help.
The struggle was not over. Not by a long shot.

Aaron Lowell

As far as I can hear and feel, all hell breaks loose. Kira leaves my side and makes a cut on the other boy, nearly missing. I can still feel Jop, but I'm unsure of who he's fighting, another person who's shown up.

All my remaining senses are blurred together and heightened, I'm knocked to the ground.

I need to go, now...

I get up, and run into the forest behind me.

Mince

I cringe in pain falling to a kneeling position. My breathing came in short puffs. I struggled to stand just as Kira kicked me. I slid back coughing up some blood. This was possibly gonna kill me. I stood up and lunged at Kira.

"Mince! Stop!" Trevor screamed but it was too late. I sliced at Kira when she knocked my sword out of my hand and I was thrown backwards.

Stella

I seem to be the only one who hears Nephil's shout. I freeze reflexively, but Mince and Kira keep fighting. Mince looks bad--he was already coughing up blood when Kira threw him backward into a tree.

"Guys!" I exclaim. My voice isn't nearly as loud as Nephil's, though, and no one hears me.

"Guys!" I scream again. When they still don't respond, my frustration boils over. I grab my bow, nock an arrow, and shoot it straight into the ground between them. Both Mince and Kira freeze, just for a moment.

Nephil

We were finally working as one, the Hidden and Loyalists working together. But Kira wasn't understanding tho, as the blind eyed girl launched an arrow I stepped in between these two. Mince and Kira, I pressed Mince back as I looked at Kira who was obviously looking for a fight. I should have finished her off when I had the chance years ago.

"What are you doing Nephil? I thought you were enemies with this scum!" She yells.

"We are enemies, no more. The Hidden and Loyalists have come together to end there differences, we shall not fight no more." I said.

Kira seemed like she had gone back to her old wild self, someone who sought power and used it for her own selfish needs. She took many steps back and before I knew it, she ran off with her brother and sister, into the woods not knowing what is happening.

Trevor

I follow Nephil, Tori on my tail, and get there just as Stella begins trying to stop the fight between the girl and Mince. I scream for them to stop as Nephil takes matters into his own hands and comes between the two.

"We are enemies, no more," Nephil tells her, while also speaking to everyone else, "The Hidden and Loyalists have come together to end there differences, we shall not fight no more."

The girl bolts off with her siblings and I crouch at Mince's side, looking over his injuries. I call Tori over and have her help him like the last time, hoping this would work. I look at Stella and the others, trusting my brother enough to not start anything. He'd helped spare Mince's life, keeping his word. I owe him enough to trust him again, as he owes me I suppose.

Standing, I take a deep breath and make sure no one else at my command is injured. Sure of it, I step to Nephil's side and cross my arms.

"What's next?" I ask in a whisper, "How do we go about this now?"
