Tourney Arc

Olguin grimaced as he felt the earth beneath him tremble slightly as the behemoth's hoofs slammed into the fragile cement.

Dammit, he certainly wasn't going to let himself or his friends be killed off by one of these oinkers!

Muscles trembling in exertion, Olguin slowly forced himself upwards, defying his body's pathetic limits with sheer Will.

His own forced breathing filled his ears as he finally managed to get to a kneeling position.  Sluggishly raising his right arm, while planting his other behind him to act as a support.

Opening his palm, he slowly lined up his sights with the beast. Blinking the sweat out of his eyes, he felt the familiar, bittersweet taste of his own power flooding towards the tips of his fingers.

A wave of crimson energy streaked outwards from his open palm, waves of heat wafting off the intense beam as it slammed into its target.

That being the ground beneath the charging monstrosity.

OOC: Nothing like the beast.

IC:

The pink one's eyes widened in bestial shock as the roof collapsed under the blast, sending it flying down below.

For a moment there was peace as the dust kicked up covered the rooftop.

A brief flash of satisfaction ran along Olguin's senses, before another flash of pain flared on his back.

"I just know I'm not going to like this..." He mumbled.

Stretching slightly, his grimace deepened as he felt like several people had stabbed him in the back.

No heavy lifting for me for a while, it seems. He thought in distaste.

Hearing the building collapse, Leets watch the monster as it was buried under the debris. He hoped that was the end of that, though he felt it was too mercif --

Falling once again into a trance, he gasped in horror at something only he could see. Quickly snapping out of the trance, he tried to warn Mr. Saotome before it was too late.

[Dracos]

Olguin turned, his back crying out in pain as he smiled reassuringly to the two children.

"Look ou-" Leets shouted in fear, his eyes wide as the pink behemoth flew up out of the opening, tiny cuts accenting it's furious visage as it flew down at Olguin, arms slamming towards him.  A piggish squeal roared from it's mouth.

Olguin immediately dived out of the way of the pig's assault.

This will hurt.

Landing in a little heap, he faintly groaned as his predictions came true.

OOC: Feel the darkness...

IC:

Roaring the beast landed,  smashing the floor with thunderous power as it's massive legs flexed, sending it flying across the ground towards Miyuki, hand snapping out as it grabbed her, her leg breaking from the brutal force as it  tossed her high in  the air...

It's massive maw opened wide as it looked up....

Detachedly, Miyuki felt her leg snap with an odd sound, and a sudden lurch as she was flung into the air. Emitting a short, pained scream.

Time seemed to slow as she turned to face the open mouth she was sailing toward, and the fear and pain she felt shifted slightly, pulling back the curtain on a sleeping power within her.

She thrust out her hands, subconciously mimicking the position she'd seen Kenryu assume during the tournament...

A coruscating burst of flaming amethyst ki burst from her hands...straight into the soft tissue inside the creature's mouth...

[Dracos]

OOC: Card: Death

IC:

With a piggish squeal it's eyes widened, it's jaw still open in shock.  It's tiny mind sizzling as it tried to comprehend what the morsal was doing.

The searing amythest light came down from the cradle of Miyuki's hands, a shimmering beautiful ray of color.  Slamming into the waiting maw of the beast.  It's flesh began to distort as it smashed through the roof above.  Melting as it absorbed the life energy.  The roof shattering as  it's bulk was forced through it.  It's diabolic face distorted in pain as it fell to it's death.  It's mind already destroyed by the pain.

OOC: Ooooh...this won't end well.

IC:

The world seemed to slow to a snail's pace as he watched the pigdemon landed past him with a roar of victory.

...and go for someone that just couldn't protect themselves.

This is just a terrible, terrible dream. It'll end soon, no worries. He thought, trying to break the damn trance he had slipped into.

Why didn't it end? Why didn't the oppressive heat stop? Those awful, dying screams should've faded away by now.

...it was a dream.

Which was shattered by the sound of bones shattering before a force they just couldn't hold up against.

He watched with wide eyes as the demon's pink fist slowly wrapped around Miyuki's oh so delicate leg. Watched as muscle flexed, causing the veins in its flesh to pop out as it slowly snapped her leg.

She had such a beautiful leg as an teenager too, seemingly to never end. Great looking skin, he wondered how exactly she managed to take care of herself during her wanderings, must be tough.

He began to laugh as he watched the pig demon (bacon bits? Funny, ne?) ...watched bacon bits toss Miyuki into the air.

That's when IT happened...

Laughter abruptly stopping...he merely chose to stare as Miyuki blasted at the pigdemon.

Shameful A cold whisper blew across his mind, causing him to suddenly shiver. Goosebumps rose on his skin as it the cold, cold voice continued.

Giving into your pathetic emotions, what kind of martial artist ARE you? Only one thing can save her.  It continued in a rational voice, devoid of any tone.

The offer was tempting...but...

You can save her. He suddenly gasped at that, But you will need to have completely control over yourself in order to get her...and the boy out of this hellhole.

That was all it took, that promise was all it took for him to choose the path of ultimate control. The path of the Soul of Ice.

Expression blank, Olguin gracefully rose from the heap he had fallen into. Any pain he had suffered was ignored, he had a mission to accomplish. Calmly looking at Miyuki's plummeting form, his head faintly dipped in the approximation of a nod.

Enough time.

Rocketing forwards, Olguin felt his whole body smoothly glide across the rooftop, with a grace that completely out did anything he could've accomplished before. Taking a mighty leap, his body arced through the skies as he approached the girl he was to protect. Hands lashing out, he snatched her out of the air and continued on his trajectory, ignoring the squirming of the child.

Faintly grunting as he awkwardly landed, he gently set down the girl. Stepping in front of the girl, he painfully stretched his back as he shifted to a defensive stance.

If the girl's attack failed, he'd have to defend her and the boy to his last breath...

[Dracos]

Below them the roof suddenly started shaking...

Screams filtered from down below.

Miyuki, her momentary adrenaline rush disappearing, clutched at her leg, trying to force down tears of pain. She hadn't broken a bone since she was eight...It hurt worse than she remembered.

She bit her lip to divert the pain...unable to surpress a small whimper as blood began to trickle down her chin...

[Dracos]

Rising in the air, the Angel lifted it's hands, glowing light flying from them at awesome speeds towards Ryo-oh-ki.

"Forgive me, but I can't allow you to die here." Olguin scooped up Miyuki in his right arms. Dashing towards his pack and katana, he secured both on his person, not without pain, though.

Grunting in exertion, he suddenly dashed back towards Leets, scooped him up in his free arm, and leapt from the roof.

Lightly landing on the street itself, he gazed out in slight annoyance at his surroundings.

His mission just got a lot harder.

OOC: Feel the doom.
feel...the hate..
IC:

The sky above sounded with thunder as the Angel's blast illuminated the heavens.  The Building Olguin had leaped off of slowly began to implode sending dust high into the air as it fell apart from the damage dealt.

The street was a scene from hell.  Bodies litered the city street as beasts leapt from form to form, rending flesh and bone to their monsterous appetites.  Blood ran in tiny rivers along the road, glass and wreckage strewing it's lengths.

An alleyway lead away from the street, into the darkened backstreets.  A demon turned from a young  lady, it's face covered with blood.  Sharpened claws clicked against each other as it smiled a madcap grin.   The wels stared across the street at Olguin, craddling Miyuki in his arm.
