Tourney Arc

[Dracos]

Oddly the beast kept coming slashing out with a gruesome claw at Olguin's midsection, it's head completely severed by the blast.

Olguin smoothly stepped to the side, letting the monstrosities' own momentum carry it past him.

Blade shone as it lashed out again, carrying the faint hope that it could kill the beast.

The beast slammed forward into the stairway...

dead.

Miyuki's eyes cracked open, and she sat up, gasping in pain. "What-? Where-?" she stammered, disorientation and alarm in her voice.

[Shukuen]

Leets pulled off the still twitching tongue, scowling in disgust. "Welcome back to the living," he muttered irritably, tossing the tongue away.

Olguin briefly stared at the angry red marks on Leet's neck.

The injuries of so many continous battles were starting to crop up on the ones that couldn't defend themselves. He was abysmal as their guardian so far, only able to keep himself in fair condition throughout their escape.

"We're leaving." Sheathing his katana, he walked up to his pack and put it back on.

"We can't afford any more battles. Let's see if we can find some means of transportation again." Easily picking up Miyuki, he made his way to the exit.

He leaned up against an alley wall, waiting for Leets to catch up.

[Shukuen]

Leets grumbled irritably, running after Olguin.

[Dracos]

The skies were sliced above by plasma as the battle of titans continued, Olguin and the children alone in an alleyway.  For a moment they were safe.

"We need another means of transportation, and soon. You two are too tempting targets for the various demons around." Olguin calmly said, choosing to avoid looking at both children in favor of watching the heavens.

"Perhaps a garage or parking lot would be in order to acquire the vehicle." Pushing off the wall, he slowly turned towards Leets.

"You're able to pick locks and whatnot." He stated matter-of-factly, "We'll need your expertise to get into those buildings to get at the vehicles."

"Something small and compact is for the best, perhaps a motorcycle." He clearly remembered how they had to abandon the truck. "Something that would allow us to easily maneuver around the city via alleyways."

A faint frown marred his face as he gazed at the heavens and the street in turn.

"The roofs make us open to aerial attacks, and the street is just as bad. We just can't afford anymore confrontations, so it'd be for the best if we stuck to the alleyways for now, then move northwards. If we cross paths with any places we could conceivably acquire the vehicle, we take the risk to get it." Stroking his chin in contemplation, he added. "Perhaps a more reliable means of long range fighting as well, maybe a firearm."

"Do you happen to know any police stations that are nearby? Perhaps we can acquire the 'goods' from there." He finally asked, turning to face Leets.

Overhead...

Kahran's face clenched in fierce concentration as he attempted to disember the Angel, his energy blade sweeping into the flying menace as they flew over the town.  Flipping up and back in a rising slash, he drove the angel downward, smashing into a building.

Leets nodded, and lead the group through the a maze of alleys, occasionally ducking into little niches when a shadow moved overhead. Eventually, they reached a local police station that had a garage, though they had to take the round-about path since the entrance was facing the roads.

Leets then reached up to the padlock chaining the rear entrance and, after a moments concentration, and unlocked the gate...

[Dracos]

Just in time to see the angel's foot smash down into the building....

The green scaled foot crushing any hope of support from that angle.  Concrete bursting under the titanic weight of the creature.

It towered stories above them, a colossal creature of destruction.  The smell of the sea wafted off it's scaled form as it's leg flexed, sending it high into the air once more.

Olguin grunted as he was thrown back several meters from the force of the titan's movement and the resultant destruction of the police station.

Spinning in mid-air, he lashed out with his free arm, plucking Leets, and slamming into the ground at sub-sonic speeds.

Fortunately, he landed on the back, cushioning his crash somewhat.

He felt a brief pang of sheer terror from the other one, but it was quickly and coldly repressed.

Didn't make things anything easier on controlling his physical reaction, as his trembling body could attest too.

Finally forcing himself and the children off the ground, he forced his body to relax enough for a hurried retreat towards the alleys, and as far from the police station as he could in his adrenaline boosted condition.

[Dracos]

Olguin slammed into the wall, breathing hard.  It must have been nearly two miles back.  He'd ran as fast as he could.  The behemoth could still be seen dancing amidst the blasts in the sky.  Leets was finally put down.  Miyuki lay, fragile, in the other arm, barely conscious.

The sky was curiously dark...

Nearby a dead man lay, half eaten in the alleyway.

"Oh this is just great," growled Leets glaring at the heavens. "Not bad enough that you toss me into this bloody life with nothin' more than my wits! But this! This takes the cake for whatever 'ell ya planned for me!"

He sat down, leaning against the wall, staring hard at the half-eaten corpse nearby. "The bugger's probably still lurking nearby based on our luck so far," he muttered irritably, trying to remember another location for some transportation.
