All Days

[misterbrief]

End of Day 4:

[Being caged in like this isn't making him too happy, and for now, everyone seems to be able to hold their own. He's taking it amongst himself to go out and try to see where all these cultists are coming from. He'll spot the reinforcements coming in, and if it seems that one of them needs a hand if no one else can, he'll be grudgingly flying down to make sure they're fine and so that they don't lose any more numbers than they already have. He's also scouting around the perimeter, taking out cultists forces where he can, separating himself from the main group. Because it wouldn't be Vegeta if he didn't go off and do something stupid on his own.]

Day 5-6:

[Now that he's rejoined the effort in the heart of the city, he's at the front lines taking out more forces. Doing whatever he can to push back the cultists.]

Day 7:

[Now that he's back, he's looking worse for the wear. He's not eaten or slept in a week, and while he might of been fine for three or four days like that, seven is even taking his limits a bit far. Exhausted, he's not even sure if he's got the energy to yell at anyone. Standing up is difficult, and walking even more so. He might need to get looked at, even if he doesn't want it; and will still try making it back on his own without asking for help.]

Day 6

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ God he had never been so tired in his life. Everything hurt, for a myriad of reasons, some he wanted to ignore with a passion and others he thought he really should see a doctor about, but didn't have the luxury, and had to hedge his bets with Khan's cells (which was a long shot, at best really, he still had no real idea what they had done to him or would do for him).

He had to taken to laying in wait in cover and taking out cultists by ambush, his gun long since out of charge and leaving him with sketchy hand-to-hand tactics and slower reaction times. Except right at this moment he had gotten pushed to the front, and he wasn't sure how, but that was how fights worked, right?

He stumbled, panting, a cultist coming and reaching down, grabbing a spare bit of metal debris and wrenched around in an old-fashioned American baseball swing. Looked like Khan's cells had given him an extra punch as the cultist's neck snapped around. At the same time, Kirk's own stomach revolted and he dry-heaved even he began to try and scramble back for cover... ]</sub>

Re: Day 6

[misterbrief]

[He's been worn down to almost nothing, keeping any transformations under wraps for now until he really needed them. And then, he's not sure how long he'd be able to keep the form. But he's still fighting at the front. He can keep going even when everyone else has fallen, so he makes sure he's right there, in the same area Kirk has found himself.

He can hear the crack of the cultist's neck snap, looking over and seeing the other man retreating after dealing a death blow like that. Impressive, he didn't know Kirk could punch that hard, he certainly doesn't look it. But he can also hear another cultists trying to catch Kirk's back before he gets away, and he grits his teeth- no battle sense at all, blast him, and he takes off at a run to run his fist through the stomach of the cultist, ending his life quickly before he could take a swing at Kirk.

Turning, what does he do? He yells, of course.]

Next time why don't you try having some better sense so you don't get yourself killed!

Re: Day 6

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk hadn't either, but it was also pretty amazing what the human body could do with adrenaline in his veins, and he was maybe a little high on it now. It would suck later when it left, he knew. Bones was always one to tell him the fancy effects of naturally produced drugs when he was on one of his phobia spiels. For now, though, he was grateful for it and he kept a tight grip on his new make-shift weapon.}

He turned as Vegeta dealt the blow to the cultist, a little horrified, but mostly.. unmoved. The cultist had done those terrible things to all those bodies. To all those people. He was beyond caring if they died too. He wasn't going to extend them the olive branch, not like he had Nero or Khan. They didn't deserve it.

He takes the yelling as he gets to his feet, panting hard, smeared in mud and blood, his clothing torn in a few places and he would have a blast cataloguing the other wounds later. Like everyone else no doubt looking tired. ]

I think I had perfect sense. Knew you wouldn't leave me to die like that, at least.

Thanks for the save, by the way.

[misterbrief]

[He growls, because that's not what he meant at all.]

Next time I won't give you a get out of Hell free card. You never turn your back like that to the enemy. [He keeps his sights on the field around them, making sure they don't get snuck up on again.]

Day 4

[windandrain]

[He's not the only one who's out on the front lines. Converse to her behavior immediately following their unsettling awakening, Saori has begun to launch herself with furious abandon at enemy cultists as recklessly as himself. Striking out alone is a bad thing, but she arrogantly believes she can handle herself solo, just like him. Her blade flashes, thunder rages all around her, and she goes absolutely berserk not far from his position, making such a noise that he cannot help but notice.

It's also apparent that she's charging into a trap. A trio of elites and a Shifter are waiting just a few blocks ahead. Give her a warning, pull her back, or help her fight maybe?]

[misterbrief]

[He certainly does notice, looking over and seeing her rip through enemies. He enjoys seeing her mercilessly slaughter them, and that image alone makes him confident that she can take care of herself too. But he catches those elites down the road, a quick glimpse. They're purposely leading her away, so they can kill her, or capture her and sacrifice her. No way, that's not going to happen.

He takes off, just to make sure he gets within earshot.]

Saori, stop!

[windandrain]

[She stops when she hears her name, looking back at him as she drives her left fist through a foot-soldier's back in a display of ruthless aggression. A quick twist and the enemy jerks once and ceases.]

What is it, Vegeta?

[Her voice, filled with barely restrained anger, is curious. Was there news? Or was this a warning? What could he want?]

[misterbrief]

[He lands, trotting up next to her while still fighting off cultists that are trying to get them to fall into the trap.]

Can't you see? They're luring you, setting you up. Look, over there! [He inclines his head as to not give away they'd been seen, towards the elites.]

Day 5

[comicallyheroic]

[Krillin, unlike Vegeta, isn't quite so drained by the 6th day. A senzu bean on Day 3 had perked him up and gotten rid of any of the minor wounds he was dealing with. He'd have offered you half, Grumpy, but he hasn't seen you anywhere near his position since the draft started.

But now, here he is, holding an unconscious foot soldier in his hand and looking down at Vegeta while he pummels a hapless elite into a pulp. Dropping his victim, Krillin floats over and points to a building that seems to be swarming with cultists.]

Seems like that's some sort of command post for this part of the city. Think we should teach them a lesson?

[misterbrief]

[He's definitely not doing so hot himself, conserving as much energy as he can at this point. Looking over to the building, he still manages to laugh a bit evilly. Mass murder still gets his blood pumping, and the idea of destroying all of them inside is a delicious thought.]

I think we should do more than that. Let's go.

[He keeps to the ground, weaving in and out of destroyed debris as fast as he can, making his way toward the building.]

[comicallyheroic]

[Good to know that Vegeta's still as crazy and psychotic as ever, even if he had seen the guy hugging that woman. Man...what a weird person she had to be...]

Yeah. Let's show them just how rough we can be. No more of those cheap tricks this time.

[He's staying airborne, floating a few feet to Vegeta's right and keeping up thanks to being able to move in a straight line. His own energy reserves are just fine, thank you.]

[misterbrief]

[It's not long before they reach the building, and Vegeta has placed himself behind a wall that had been blown off another building, jutting out of the ground. Peeking out from behind it, he takes a look at what they've got guarding the building. Nothing too serious, a few soldiers is all. The rest seem to be inside. Guarding something, maybe.]

Let's clip their wings and get inside. If they give us too much trouble we can blow the building sky high.

Day 6

[gunkonmyboot]

[Guess who's wearing a used to be white sleeveless shirt? This guy guy, and surprisingly, still have unlimited energy to spare. Seventeen's been in the front line and surprisingly isn't getting tired. He still dishes out multiple raining ki blasts keeping the cultists behind the line.]

Hey! Looking tired over there. Try taking a break.

[misterbrief]

No way! [He continues to fight on the ground, now using his sword mainly to slash through opponents, conserving energy.]

I've got a job to do and nothing is going to keep me from finishing it!

[gunkonmyboot]

[Vegeta with a sword... Okay then. Although it's not so bad. Seventeen just hovers while sending ki blasts to the enemy's line making a dust storm that could be useful or not.]

Oh yeah? That goes double for me!

Day 6

[ravelt]

[Haru came in as part of the reinforcements, having swooped in to provide some much needed support for the exhausted draftees. He'd been going around, helping out whoever he could find to relieve them of their battles. A swing of his sword here, an Explosion there... Whatever it takes.

On Day 6, he spots Vegeta, who's looking extremely worn down by now and in a pretty bad situation. So he starts sprinting in his direction. Hopefully, Vegeta can last until he gets there!]

[misterbrief]

[He certainly doesn't look good. Blood is spattered all over the white of his armor, and the fashionable saiyan onesie he's sporting underneath is ragged and tattered. All he's got is his sword, trying to hack his way through the group that had ambushed him, a couple of elites that are having a field day with their opponent. One of them grabs Vegeta by the head, slamming it violently into a brick wall of one of the buildings. The only reason he survives that is because he's not human, but the pain sure doesn't let him forget how screwed he is.

Behind them is a shifter, keeping Vegeta from blasting anything as it watches on. But it's also the first enemy in Haru's way, with its back turned.]

[ravelt]

[Seeing the situation Vegeta's in, he increases his speed using Silfarion, now running at a breakneck speed. The moment he's within range of the Shifter, he switches to another form of the Ten Commandments, a heavy, almost impossibly huge broadsword weapon. The Shifter may be able to block all manner of abilities, but it can't block sheer brute force. Using the momentum he'd built up from running with Silfarion, he takes a swing right at the back of the Shifter, stopping their shifting for good with a clean bifurcation at their midsection. As he does so, he makes sure to cry out the name of his attack, in true shounen style.]

GRAVITY CORE!

Day 5

[derpivity]

[Now that Minato has effectively reached the heart of Zompania, he's also trying his best pushing back the cultists with all the ninja techniques he knows. It's good that he has an advantage of being quick on his feet so he can land effective blows with his Rasengan. To prolong a battle with these cultists is always a bad idea. Better strike them hard and fast.

When Minato spots Vegeta in the front lines, he quickly approaches him as he throws his special kunai to the nearest enemy.]

They're very persistent.

[Is all he has to say before teleporting to the enemy where his kunai landed, plucks it, throws it quick (while dodging the attack of the cultist), disappears and shows up behind the enemy with a swirling ball of blue energy in his hand. With a resounding Rasengan! followed by the landing of the attack, Minato disappears and re-appears to where his kunai landed.]

How have you been holding up, Vegeta?

[misterbrief]

[He hears Minato come up behind him, panting heavily. He's not out of energy yet, but he's tired, that's for sure. He sees Minato for only a moment, until he teleports- surprising Vegeta. He looks over, finding where he'd teleported to, he watches him just throw the kunai. He doesn't understand exactly why he did that, until he teleports again.

Nice little trick, he thinks to himself.

He lets himself relax for a moment, when Minato speaks again.]

I'm still alive, aren't I? They keep coming, I haven't seen the end of them for days now.

[derpivity]

Then, we just have to bring an end to them right away as they come.

[Not to brag, really, just to motivate themselves amid the fatigue that they all know they'll feel later on. Still keeping his guard up, Minato gives Vegeta a quick once-over. He seems fine, though exhaustion doesn't escape him.]

late four or early five

[wise_maiden]

[ Before the later days, Raine is still doing a mix of being around to heal on the field and checking in with the hospital areas. She does her best to keep up, but moments when the fighting is too intense have a habit of sneaking up -

Though in the midst of all of that, she has a chance to perform a powerful attack of her own - one that involves refreshing and recovery energy to spread to those in the midst of battles, while simultaneously damaging - perhaps even felling - weakened cultists with a high concentration of light magic- ]

Fairy Circle!

[ It's not the first time something like that's been done, and not the last for this battle - but unfortunately, as useful as it is, that kind of energy can't go without being noticed for long. ]

i hope this set up is okay!

[misterbrief]

[Thankfully he's around to receive some of that healing, because he certainly needed it. It's a new kind of healing, from a power he doesn't recognize- until he turns around and notices the woman performing the magic. He's seen her before, and he's thankful there's a healer in the vicinity. But he also notices cultists seemingly suffering from the same power.

Inwardly, he smiles wickedly. Who knew. That was quite useful. But it also seems that he's not the only one to notice, a cultist with a spear raised coming at her from behind. He reacts, his hand raising, aimed at the cultist...]

o7

[wise_maiden]

[ Being caught up in casting the spell has left Raine vulnerable -- and briefly unaware -- of the cultist's approach.

Though there's barely enough light to notice, vaguely in the distance, someone preparing to aim an attack in her direction. Someone familiar, someone from Luceti - but there's no time to stand there in confusion, as she gathers enough of her reflexes in an attempt to dodge from it as the cultist, solely focused on her enough to not notice the Saiyan in the distance -- prepares a strike of his own ... ]
