DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

Comments

[analyzing]

[Don't worry, Keiichi, she's like. Poster girl for the Welcome Centre these days. In any case, Minato gets a smile and a chuckle.]

I'm fine. No injuries, see? [...] They got the soldiers that tried to attack yesterday before they could do any damage after all.

Just fine!

[seiriald]

[Kaori is sent slamming into the ground when Katara hits the Elite, wincing as she felt her Filial wings protest the action of landing on them. Never mind that, she's recovering as quickly as she could and making her way over the Masaomi to make sure he's still okay and not frozen, still. Actually, she's dragging him further away, out of the Elite's reach.

Damn it, is Shikamaru done yet?!]

[herotypical]

I didn't realize we were keeping score.

[ a wry, elated smile accompanies her barb. ]

[goldenglasses]

That's why I think all the trouble we've - [Side stepping out of the way.] - shared is because of you!

[Shooting a couple arrows out of the air. The Punisher can't take all of the defense glory after all!]

/o/!

[hakoiri.livejournal.com]

I've confident that they can, as well.

[ At that, he nods. ]

I am. Yourself?

[deathsdoctor]

[... that's still a lot of distance, folks.

And there's still the problem of the ones coming from on high... way high. Sanji and the young lady have most of them in hand, but when the enemy is coming on wing, some will take the high route and some of them are. Coming towards the two running towards him for shelter and protection. And his patients.

He does not wish to kill here, but he has no choice. He will make this quick. Before things go more awry.

He centers. Zeros in on his targets, notes his allies' positions well to be sure he doesn't hit them as well. The nodachi spins in his hands as he moves, a move he's done a thousand times before, and will do many times again in the future.

It is instanteous.

ka-chink.

The nodachi resheaths. And the airborn Third Party members fall before they can even get close.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Just keep telling yourself that.]

There's no shame in that. [You've got little pebbles stuck in this wound, did you know that?] This is not a business to be liked.

[Don't mourn too much. They were as much authors in their ultimate fate as the ones who claimed their lives. Painting them as any sort of victim in this is as much insult to them as to the ones fighting against them.

And as warriors they at least deserve better consideration than that.]

[First Day] [Anywhere]

[coldsnaps]

I think the stakes are too [brb blasting a third party member with watery spheres raining from the sky] high for that to suffice!

[deathsdoctor]

[Did he mention you are an angel? He has been going at it like a machine.

He had completely forgotten about little things like food.]

Oh, thank you again.

For the most part, things aren't bad so far. Nothing too concerning in the long run.

[Glancing at the curtained off rest area for the wounded. His knuckles lightly rap against some nearby wood.]

Most part anyway.

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

The next time you're running in my direction with five soldiers tailing you, I'll just stay back unless it looks like your freakish leg strength can't handle them.

[ Not as unusual as alchemy is, though. ]

[Last day]

[endgames]

[There's something brilliant in that. Shikamaru gets the feeling that whatever that cross does, it's something big. The Shifter isn't going to be able to get away so easily now, and from the look on his face, he knows it.

The shadows dig deeper, piercing past the armor now and anchoring in bone to hold him in place, all the better target - cross or no cross.]

You lose.

[But as it would turn out, more members of the Third Party are kamikaze than not. Before the Shifter's wings are rendered useless like his knees and the tendons and his ankles were, his eyes flash and he switches to negating magic. He uses his wings to push him forward to the two as fast as he can, another set of knives at the ready and flying through the air again. Seems that he's convinced that if he's going down, he's taking them out too.]

[Last Day]

[magecaptain.livejournal.com]

[Asad curses inwardly because he knows it didn't work. The spell's duration ends and he's left having to get out of the way of the ground splitting again.

He also ducks into the wheat even though it isn't tall enough to obscure him completely. All he wants is just long enough to put away the sword and grab the bow and arrows he's also carrying. And as he's about to try and attempt to use that with the blinding light Leon's fog rolls over the area. Perfect that will help a lot. He'll get in a couple of shots before the fog vanishes at least. All he wants to do is just take out a wing before their vision is obscured again or another one shows up. He was definitely concerned about the one that got away.]

[mischiefbreeder]

Good! 'Cause we're all gettin' out of here alive! [This is said as Gold has Politaro dowse the enemies and their surrounding area with a Surf, followed by having Explotaro strike the water with a Thunderpunch, sending electricity coursing through the water and positively electrocuting them.

This, of course, calls for bad humor on Gold's part.]

Hah! Hey, third party goons, I hope our skills don't shock you too much!

[falenandawn]

[And Frey, luckily, was still keeping an eye on them both. When he sees her fall, he doesn’t even think before he’s rushing forward to parry another attack from the soldier, making his own opening and slamming the end of his staff into their throat rather violently with a sickening crunch.

If that didn't kill them instantly, it probably will soon with the force he used. Frey, however, is kneeling beside Kaori and checking her over. He didn't even see the missed attack, just her falling and-] Kaori?! Did he hurt you? Kaori?!

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ HOLY SHIT, ARROWS.

IT COOL IF HE DRAGS YOU ALONG ON HIS DODGING ADVENTURE? ]

[endgames]

[Done and done. He's about out of breath by the time he gets back, but he took advantage of the Elite's distraction to come at him from the right, trench knives out and making a sweep to the bleeding wound Kaori delivered.

The Elite dodges backwards in a flip, using his feet to try and kick Katara's bo away from her while he's at it. Shikamaru waits until that distance is between them again to make his comment to the rest of the team.]

Don't worry. Everything's ready. [He coughs; takes a breath of air.] There's not much even he can do to stop it now.

[Hook, line...]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Even with Vanitas gone, Ven's in complete shock, and he probably won't leave right away.

What if Vanitas had succeeded? He could have lost everything, right there...

At this point, he's got a lot to think about.]

[Last Day]

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[When the magical fog dissipates, Leon is immediately looking around again--the sky, the ground, and everywhere in between. He doesn't see the soldier anymore.]

Did you hit him? [He calls over the distance, bringing his free hand up to shield his eyes.]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ ping. disagreement, what disagreement. ]

Just how badly are you injured?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

[She successfully launches her attack, but the result is not as amazing as she hoped it to be. Instead the Elite ends up blocking her sword with a strike of the axe and flinging her a few feet away with the force of the counter. However, it should serve as a decent distraction for Jack to come in for a shot without being intercepted.]

[generalflirt]

[Yeah that's great, loverbirds. Frey, you left the last one or two over by you un-attended. When he goes to get to Kaori, Masaomi takes up the slack there in the form of going in with a quick blow to the abdomen of one of them after swallowing the gel. The blow knocks them into a stumble, which he uses to yank the head down by the hair and putting them in the way of a blow meant for him from the other soldier.


Not to say they are ignorant enough to strike their own, but it makes him hesitate, and Masaomi uses that instant to shove the one soldier into the other and make them both topple. There we go.

[And Albert will get no further response until closer to the end of the day. For once it seems the humans actually were capable of doing something right.]

It doesn't work. I hope you've enjoyed making me look foolish.

[blackenedchaos.livejournal.com]

[Yuber has a different priority. He wants to stall these two long enough to ensure Nami dies. He knows that the dragon didn't quite finish her off, but enough time will make sure she's dead.

Noel's shot won't be in time to prevent the around twelve bolts of lightning from coming at her and Sanji. Though the azzodess taking the time to finish the spell means that she didn't have the time to get out of the way of the first blast or the second one and barely is able to move in time to not be hit by the third. Of course she's a pretty tough little demon there and doesn't really appear to be hurt that much, yet.

The Bone Dragon is moving towards a more upright position. Sanji will definitely want to be careful of its tail sweeping broadly as it gets up.

As far as Yuber, he avoids the tail and has his swords ready to attack Sanji. Screw his orders, the man attacked one of his monsters, he's a target now.]

[kyoshi]

[Katara's attention on their surroundings has Suki suddenly paying attention, and she claps her hand over Sokka's mouth to listen properly. There's movement... definitely movement. She lowers her voice.]

Someone's here.

Re: [Last day]

[notabluesbro]

[The cross buzzes to life, as Wolfwood runs to the side, skids, and turns the cross upward onto his shoulder, heavy as it feels to do so; the missile that proceeds to fire turns just so—faintly, very faintly—and rockets right into the topside of the Shifter's wing, sending him in a plume of smoke to crash bloodily to the ground.

Alive, but cut to ribbons by shrapnel, and close to death. Wolfwood recognizes that the man was going to die with such wounds, so he turns his cross back around and finishes the job with a few short bursts of machine gun to the skull.

...It's a good thing Vash isn't around for this one. That was his first and last straightforward kill out here.]

...

[He pushes up on his glasses.]

Looks like we're finished out here.
