Get It? Got It? Good! [Yurik]

[Kanjin Taiyou]

Taiyou walked outside of the bar he just bought out, having consumed plenty of food and spirits. Walking down the street alone under the pale moon, Taiyou lit a cigarette, using a flame from his index finger, and took a long drag. Blowing the smoke in the air, he stopped in front a Cineplex, and began to stare at the marque. "Hmm... Haven't been to one of these in awhile, wonder what I'll see." Taiyou asked himself, as Oni appeared next to him.

"Let's catch a horror flick. Watching humans make these films about tearing each other to pieces is amusing." Oni said, looking at the marque.

"Naw hate em'. Especially ones about vampires. They really, really suck." Taiyou said, blowing more smoke in the night air walking to the ticket booth.

[Yurik Deminov]

Tonight... one of the few times I ever find myself bored. My meal slumped over drained in analley not to far away, I walk down the empty streets of this glass and cement laden toilet. Wiping the precious fluids from my mouth, I toss the silken hankerchief into the night air, causing it to vanish before it hits the ground. She was an adequete meal, her flabby neck made the texture of her flesh bothersome, but her sweet crimso fluids balanced out any unpleasantries.

Walking past a brightly lit and offensive 'cattle' place of entertainment, I cause the bright advert featuring the names of shows I would never watch to explode, the glass tumbling down to the ground. Smiling that the lights are now of no concern I watch a young man runs outside of his booth to see the disturbance. He is not alone, a large and might I add tacky dressed individual is next to him, his odor as offensive as his dress. He smells of alcohol and tobacco, two things I personally detest, and his smell is strong enough to offend with out my enhanced senses. But it seems my senses have picked up something else, something quite peculiar. He is enshrouded by dark magics, Void magic by the feel of it.

Walking past the idiot who is sweeping glass, he drops some of the debris on my cloak, causing me much annoyance. No matter, he is tossed into the wall, falling down on his mess. The oaf intrigues me, as I continue to approach, I muse over who he is and then I see it, a sprite, in the form of a women. Laughable, he has seemed to tame a sprite, let's see how this continues, his drab attire gives of the air of lacking civility, which means no one will care if he is drained like a glass of Merlot. I sink in to the shadows, to only watch further.

[Kanjin Taiyou]

"Give me one for 'A Timeless View'" Taiyou said to the young man at the booth, who punched in some keys as they both heard the explosion outside follwed by the tinkle of glasss falling to the ground. As the young man ran out to find the disturbance. "Power surge by the looks of it..." Taiyou said as he saw someone approach from the direction of the disturbance.

The young man ran back to the booth and excepted Taiyou's money and gave him his ticket, grabbing his broom and dustbin to clean up the glass under the marque. As Taiyou began to enter the theater he heard a loud thud and a small cry of pain, turning back to see the young man slumped over on the glass covered ground, as the other man seemed to vanish into thin air, his shadows streching as he became invisible.

Walking over to the young man, Taiyou checked to see if he was alright, his legs broken with many cuts and scrapes from the glass, as Taiyou carried him into the booth, trying to protect him from what was out there. "Come on out, you piece of shit." Taiyou growled as he took a long pull of his cigarette, holding the large weapon he took from his side. Raising it to the sky, Taioyu ignited his sword like a torch, the light from the flames making the dark street bright as Taiyou spotted whatever it was that injured the boy.

"It uses Void to mask its presence Tai." Oni said, as Taiyou pointed his sword at the dark man.

"Well? Come on out and fight someone who can defend themselves." Taiyou said, blowing smoke in the direction of the man in the shadows, the smoke igniting into flames as Taiyou's magic shot in his direction.

[Yurik Deminov]

How brazen, who in the bluest of Hell's does this dolt thinks he's speaking to. "You think you can defend yourself, but you female apparition nor your odor will save you from my fangs." I say to him, appearing in a maelstrom of bats, forming myself as my Void magic flares of my body.



He is a large and rather oafish looking specimen, and his taste for tobacco and liquor give me the impression his blood would taste like ash seasoned mud, I think I will just kill him. "I was easy on that clumsy fool who sullied my cape, you will not receive the same treatment." I said, unimpressed by his weapon or ghastly companion, both of whom are in plan view. Walking toward him, I adjust my neck and wrists, preparing for what seems to be easy pickings.

[Kanjin Taiyou]

Taiyou raised an eyebrow at the strange man that walked toward him. "Is this guy serious!" Taiyou said to himself in a low whisper, laughing at the muscle bound creep in his sights.

"Be careful Taiyou, this guys is oozing magic, he's not human." Oni said in a blunt manner, covering Taiyou with her Void magic.

"Your right, he's dead." Taiyou said, smashing the edge of his blunt weapoon into the concrete, shooting a stream of Fire at the cocky foe in front of him. Watching the firey burst spring from the ground, Taiyou used his magic to shape the flames into pillar of fire, that began to surround his opponent.

[Yurik Deminov]

I'm dead... me? Seriously, this twit cannot think of any better retort than that? Oh my... it seems he has... A pillar of fire, paltry, insulting even that a mere pillar of flames is all that he thinks can dispatch me. Although I hate the very sight of combustion, well... unless people are within the flame. Although I hate the very sight of fire, I hate those that underestimate me even more. Opening a portal that causes a small backdraft, a fierce wind blows away his meager fire.



Now that that is over, is use the shadows behind that idiot to try and bind him, extending into the scorched blackness on the ground this idiot has created.

[Kanjin Taiyou]

The backdraft created by the man before Taiyou caused his hair to blow wildly. Taiyou watched as the flames he summoned and sent to attack the man were blown by gust of wind as Taiyou was about to aim his sword for another attack. Before he could, Oni warned of the man's magic at work, "Tai, this ashole is doing something weird to the shadows, be careful." the Void sprite said in an annoyed manner, using her magic to turn the remaining light from the streetlights into a fine mist against the darkness the began to envelope them.

"Cheap tricks won't scare me chump, what are you trying to be the boogie man or something? I've been to both Heaven and Hell, and damn near all parts in between, and your like nothing I've seen. You don't mean shit, and I'm going to show you that." Taiyou siad, lifting up his sword by its handle, opening the hilt by pressing a button that released a clamplike locking mechanism. The air began to fill up with some type of gaseous liquid as Taiyou stared into the man across from him.



"Burn you piece of shit!" Taiyou said as the mixture of the liquid he released into the air mixed with Oni's mix burst into a storm of heat and light that Taiyou began to form and shape around the man he was fighting. Using his power, Taiyou raised the heat of his magical attack, as the glass on the ground began to melt and the walls and pavement began to show scorch marks. "Gotta finish this fast so no one else gets hurt." Taiyou said to himself as he began to close him in flames.

"This freaks a vampire Taiyou, I recognise this petty magic anywhere. Finish his ass and let's go and catch this flick, it's gotta be better than this." Oni said, pouring her magic into Taiyou making him more and more powerful.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Yoshi made quick time nearing the tremendous source of energy he felt. He had only went into town to pick up more supplies for his arsenal of deadly arrows and knives. He didn't expect anything like this to occur on such a pretty moonlit night. But if innocent people got hurt......

Yoshi summoned a small whisk of magic Ice and rode down the side of a rooftop, nearing the edge stealthy. Grasping the bow from around his shoulders, He flicked it forward and around in his hand to loading position, but instead of preparing a shot, he just used it as a gauge. Surveying the scene, He noticed the two figure becoming engaged in combat. As Tokugawa Yoshi set his feet, he took a deep breath. He didn't know what this battle was about. It could be over property. Or an unsettled family matter. Hell, the two guys might not plain like one another.

Yoshi didn't care, He Couldn't. The only thing on his mind was trying to figure out why the combatants couldn't fight somewhere else. Why so close to town? It definitely didn't matter. Neither one of them seemed to care, so Yoshi had to. Reaching backward for three different arrow types, He carefully fingered the bow. Hopefully he wouldn't have to fire.

Yoshi's judgment snapped. He looked around and noticed a blood trail. Then his eyes widened. He saw the small figure slumped against a wall. An Innocent had already been hurt! Yoshi took another deep breath and closed his eyes as he turned back to the targets. based on all the evidence it was clear what side he was on, now to find the correct course of Action.

[Yurik Deminov]

I can hear his sprite, she is as much a bitch as he is an idiotic brute, his flames doing nothing but burning the surrounding area. I watch as the glass melts on the ground, and I scoff, this of all thing I supposed to frighten me. Raising my hands, I extend the Void magic under my control to form his fire into a ball, my fangs shine in the light of the fire as I smile to further taunt this dolt. "Try again, and please... use an attack next time, not a cheap display of pyrotechnics. When I finish with you, I shall have my way with that spirited spirit of yours." I taunt him both physical and verbally, raisng the ball of fire as if it were some trophy and some worthless display of power, cointained in my orb of Void magic, my hands protected from it's heat.



Amist my own blathering, I hear footsteps overhead. Some else is here, watching me and this ogre. Using Dark, I reach out to the shadows, slightly draining my Void power, but this gambit will be worth slightly burned hands. Reaching, I found the peep idiot's location and I yell out, "Watch this!" Tossing the ball of fire in his direction, on a rooftop not to far away. Turning back to my orignal distraction, I shoot a glance into his eyes, his mind soon shall be putty to run through my blood soaked fingers.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Yoshi's reaction time was crucial to the flaming projectile that was headed in his direction. He uncurled his legs and launched himself into a Moonsault. Just inches away the massive fireball shaved the rooftop where he just stood. The embers wavered in the air, brushing his skin as He dropped back to the ground.

The light sears were nothing compared to the sense of urgency Yoshi felt. He definitely didn't count on being discovered so early. Moreover, why did the opponent attack so violently. a blow with that fire energy could seriously scar someone, or worse. Yoshi Tokugawa Armed his bow with two arrows and a third in waiting as He landed Gracefully near the side of Taiyou. He glanced quickly to the rooftop, the fire seeming to dissapate. It didn't pose a threat to the inhabitants of that house. Cocking his string, Yoshi made his target known.

Demon. I do not know what brings you here, but I will not allow you to harm others. Stand Down!

Even as Yoshi has readied three arrows, the third was meant for Tayiou, just in case.

Someone innocent has been hurt, who did it!?Answer me, Dammit!

[Kanjin Taiyou]

Taiyou watched as his fire ball was tossed away, and after he focused on its direction, he saw that the vampire had tossed it at someone who seemed to be watching the fight on the roof. Pointing his sword at the traveling ball, Taiyou sapped its heat, causing the fireball to be rendered no more than a small amount heat, thereby preventing the person the vamprie tossed the fireball at any damage,a s well as that of the building it landed on.

Looking back at the vampire, Taiyou noticed that the heat from the fireball the vampire tossed still remaine near his filth hands, as Taiyou caused a sudden burst in heat to manifest from the area of his opponent. That was when the othe rperson revealed themself, an archer it seemed from his choice of weapon. He heard the man's demands to the vampire, but knew they would go unanswered seriously. "He's a dick, and the reason that kid is slumped over there. Shoot and I'll cover you!"

Taiyou yelled out, running toward the vampire as the heat he focused on began to sear the air. While in stride, Taiyou's glance meet the vampire's, slowing him down as he began to fight off whatever magic the vampire was using. "You wanna see something... look at this!" Taiyou said, the heat burining the air bursting into a white flash of light, akin a buring magnesium flame in the vampire's face.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

Yoshi virtually jacked his right arm backward and forward, switching out arrows with his thigh hilt virtually invisible before the average eye. 'Vampire?' he thought. 'Does this really exist?' If so, there were options. Wooden Options. Yoshi ran off to the nearest tree and quickly became branch-born. 'I'm already apart of this fight now,' He thought. Yoshi let off A triple Volley, First two arrows together, then a third slightly to the left, since the opponent's right leg was further back in stance, if he moved in that direction to avoid Taiyou's Attack, He would have to move again to dodge the arrows. A quick solution to a growing problem, or at least that's what Tokugawa Yoshi thought.

[Yurik Deminov]

Victory... sweet, blood soaked victory... alas it was no what fate ha in store for me today. My gaze into the daunting emptiness of that singed smelling ruffian proved to be disastrous, his magic blinding me in the most cowardly manner. As I go to shield myself with a veil of darkness, I begin to move toward the shadowy safety of the alley... Then I remember that meddling peon for the roof. Then a shot of pain shoot up my leg, I feel it pierced, the cloak unable to reach my lower half, as the others were reduced to nothingness upon entering my cloak.

"Idiots, this will not stand to be ignored. You have thwarted my feast for now... but you cannot protect all of the cattle that roams this world. Till next time." I say to them, speaking as melodramatic as possible. I care not for long and drawn out skirmish, especially ones I am one the receiving end of. As I disappeared in a cloud of darkness I realize that elsewhere there is someone waiting for me to devour them, and then I am no longer there. Gone... much like my enthusiasm for these idiots.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

As the threat vanished, Yoshi Tokugawa slightly lowered his bow, his adrenaline still flushing. He expected much more of a fight, especially after everything that happened up to this point. He was ready to make so many moves....built in preparation for the Vellity that this battle would actually continue.

Yoshi walked up to Tayiou as he noticed villagers begining to come out of their homes. He peered over to the injured boy....although he was tended to, it didn't appear that he made it.

"It's too late for the boy....he must have lost too much blood. Good thing you were here, stranger. Yoshi poised, Extending a hand. Just then, a portly man in a thick blue robe waddled toward Yoshi and Tayiou. 'He must be the Mayor here.' Yoshi thought.

[Kanjin Taiyou]

Taiyou watched as the vampire disappeared, banished by the combined efforts of the Archer and himself. "Hey Tai, be careful, the other guys coming close." Oni said, noticing that the other man stepped foreword. Taiyou seemed to ignore her as he stepped forward also to greet the man, who looked as if he harbored no malice. Then the man offered his thanks, which Taiyou responded to with a brisk handshake and a warm smile, taking notice as the authorities began to make themselves visible.

"No problem, it's a damn shame we couldn't do anything for that poor kid... the name is Taiyou, Kanjin Taiyou by the way..." Taiyou said as he looked over at he deceased young man's body, slumped against the wall. Taiyou then turned back to the Archer and took out another cigarette, lighting it with his finger before the authorities came to close to notice.

As Oni cloaked herself around Taiyou, Taiyou turned to the small man in blue and began to explain what transpired. The man held a strong look of disbelief as he went on and he began to look at the green haired archer with the same disbelief. "So you expect me to believe a vampire caused all of this property damage and killed that young man over there, then suddenly vanished?" the chubby man in blue said in a annoyed tone.

Sensing where this would get him nowhere fast, Taiyou took out a wad of cash from his vest, and handed it to the portly man, "I don't expect you to believe a dam thing when you put it like that. Just make sure that the kid is giving a proper burial." Taiyou said walking away from the man. "I heading out stranger... maybe I'll see you around..." Taiyou said with his back to the scene, walking off with his sword in hand, raising a hand to the archer.

[Yoshi Tokugawa]

As the Mayor of the town waddled off, seeming Satisfied, and offering a wave to the parting warrior, Yoshi readjusted himself, and picking up his Parcel, Made his way westward. It was a sad ending for a child, and Yoshi had to wonder if the vampire would return to try to claim more victims. 'If so,' Yoshi thought, 'then I hope somebody stands up and fights. But I've gotta get stronger too. So I can be ready for my next encounter. Because it seems the path of a warrior is self evident....if you live in the fight, you'll die in the fight. And that is to be realized by all warriors.

Get it?......Got it.


Good
