Centros: The Metal Army [IC]

[CidtheKid]

Phases eyes lit up at the sight of so many weapons. A small voice in the back of his head begged him to take them and unleash havoc. He hungered for a chance at using them like a diabetic in a candy store, with just as much potential for disaster. "I have to... go check things out at the soon-to-be-frontlines," he quickly excused himself from the shop, leaving Break on her own.

"Yeah, I'd love to stay and help and chat and stuff," Break said. "But I've got things to do. We ought to have a cup of coffee later, assuming we're both alive." she added, heading out the door.

She decided to take a little detour and try to persuade the unruly and uncooperative group that decided to play like a wild card. She had, a possibly really stupid idea.

Pulling out a small piece of Stationery and a pen, she wrote down a short message for Scar, Dante and Raphael. Folding it up, she sent it to its destination via a quick incantation, and hurried towards Phase.

I apologize for my rude introduction to my message, but I don't know your names, and must get your attention.

I am fairly certain, in the upcoming battle, that you will be incredibly disruptive to our faction, which I cannot allow.

So, if it's a challenge you want, then we throw down the Gauntlet.

Meet us on the road away from town, on the soon to be battlefield.

-Break♥

P.S: I don't have the time to write in Scheme and Scansion, so sorry if it looks little messy.

Glaring at the two who left without assisting, Esfir mumbled some obscenities under her breath. "Eh, if they want to die instead of train, let them be."

She turned and grinned at Chad. "Well, Comrade Chad, I am glad you have sense! We shall train! But first, we must get these weapons to Comrade Magnus." She proceeded to pile as many weapons in his arms as she could. "This will help your strength, yes? Strength is good! By the way, what weapon you like? Gun? Bomb? Grenade? Laser? Cannon? I teach you how to use them."

Esfir grabbed some more weapons and made her way outside. "I myself prefer blunt objects. Hammer and wrench have never failed me."

[DragonKingUK]

Chad thought for a moment and then smiled. He started to help Esfir get the weapons to Magnus.

"I think I would like a..... well lets see there are many weapons, so I will let chance decide for me!"

With that he smiled and summoned his magical dice. He rolled the dice in the air and it landed on a even number, he rolled again and the number 62 appeared. He looked down the list to see what weapon he got.

"62, so I will get a.... short sword! Well there you have it Esfir, I will have a short sword. Let's start training as soon as possible as we wont have long!"

Dante, Raphael and Scar all got a letter, Dante sighed and read the letter out loud and laughed. He shrugged as he jumped down from the building.

"Come on, this will be fun! Lets us go and have some fun shall we but Raphael this doesn't mean we are friends, no we are just together for now."

Raphael smiled and nodded as he jumped down. They made their way on the road away from town, on the soon to be battlefield. When they got there they waited for whoever to show up.

Scar listened to Dante as he read the letter and laughed himself. He jumped down off the building with Dante and Raphael. He followed them where they were supposed to meet this so called Break.

Drayko watched as the others ignored him. Which made him a little angry. He smiled and ran out of the training room. He came outside and jumped to the floor making the earth protect him. Then he made a run to Heros' Refuge. He first came up to Dante, Raphael and Scar. He stopped and looked around. With a smile he surrounded the three with earth. "I cant fight you now, I will let you go soon. Goodbye." with that he ran to Heros' Refuge and looked around again. It seemed there were traps and things surrounding the entrance. He shrugged and raised the earth and looked at Magnus. Drayko jumped over the traps and took his time to take in his surroundings. There were a forest he could use and if he could somehow start a fire he could even use that. Metal was also here and that would be a great help. There was plenty of earth and he had water if he turned on all the taps in the houses. Air was also a weapon here which means he could make lighting and thunder, his weapons were unlimited here and he liked that. So he began turning all the taps on in all the houses, once he was done, he closed his eyes and began to make black clouds appear and suddenly it began to thunder. He aimed for the trees which made fire. He surrounded the area with earth so it would help the defenses.

"Hey everyone! Whatever you do, do not turn the taps off or put out the fire as if you do you will weaken me! My only weapon is the elements and so I need whatever I can get, this includes fire and water!"

He smiled as he waited to to start a war, he would personally kill the King and then he would destroy the evil in this world one by one. The earth was finally gone from around Scar, Dante and Raphael, now this interested Scar and he knew if he found it interesting Dante certainly would and he also knew Raphael was like Dante so he also be very interested. He smiled and looked at the two.

"I think we should talk to that guy who can control the elements, as I really want his power and the war will be interesting with him."

he smiled again and looked at Drayko as he planed to absorb his power at some point but he knew it wouldn't be easy at all as he could very well protect himself with whatever he had.

Samson Mortlock wandered carelessly past the makeshift defenses at the entrance to Heroes' Refuge, ignoring all the would-be defenders as he made his way into town. The men standing by the unimpressive barricades were nothing more than frail, drunken townspeople. If the enemy had as much as one trained warrior, they would be dead within the first minutes of the battle. Further into town was a small group of strangers, who stood out against the rabble.

''Really Endtree, this is none of my concern.'' he muttered.
''You will fight, woodsman.'' the voice commanded over light breeze.

With a sigh, Samson figured it was his duty to help, strode over to the group, grabbing the hand of the 'obvious' leader with the and giving a strong handshake. For all he knew, the leader always was tough, and tough men wore an eyepatch, right? But this man looked small, lean, and not exactly fighter material. The force of Samson's handshake would have lifted the man clear off the ground.

''Hello my good man!'' the lumberjack boomed. ''I have come to hold the line against, .... uhhh..... whatever it happens to be you are holding the line against!''

Samson swung his axe onto a resting position on his broad shoulder.

''Now point me to the problem and let's get this resolved shall we?''

Phase and Break moved out of town to meet with the challenged.

"I'm glad you could make it," said Break. "I'm certain you are all really strong and so will have no problem with lasting 3 Minutes with Berserker, without getting chopped in half or running away. Good Luck!" she made her way back to town.

Phase slammed his 2-ton sword into the ground, and simply asked, "Which one of you wants to go first?"

[DragonKingUK]

Dante yawned and stepped back as Phase asked who was going first. Now he was well out of the way.

"None of us will fight, instead. My Mannequins will fight you!" the Mannequins surrounded Phase and Dante smiled. The mannequins quickly attacked and while they did Dante threw some souls in the trees to control them, the tree branches swayed and attacked Phase as they tried to knock him over. Everyone watched as the mannequins attacked. Raphael looked at Dante and smiled,

"Tag me in Dante! Let me have some fun!" Dante nodded and tagged Raphael. Quickly Raphael transformed into a Hydra and started attacking Phase.

[Mizagium]

Jeff had just about had it with Dante and his ilk. With a decidedly unskillful sweep of his sword, he sent a mannequin tumbling down the road. "That's enough! Pretty soon, an army of robots or something is going to be marching on this little...well, calling it a town is generous. But still. We've got our hands full as it is. What we don't need is you jerks going around and causing trouble at the same time."

He looked over at Phase, before the Hydra-Raphael descended upon him . "Sorry if you wanted this to be your fight or something, but we really don't have time for this kind of thing. And I've had it with them." He cast a pleading look Magnus' way. Help me.

He hesitated...not really wanting to attack a hydra...but he charged away, swinging the sword with obvious non-skill.

[CidtheKid]

"Okay, you're just a mage guy who uses mooks. That's cool," said Phase.

Phase let the Mannequins completely surround him and form a circle, before making 360 degree spin and chopping them all in half. He mentally evaluated how cool it was, deciding it was probably pretty cool, before getting whacked in the gut by a tree branch, knocking the air out of him and making him step back. Instinctively, he struck the offending tree, snapping it's trunk, and doing the same to the others that moved.

"And you can make other stuff come alive. Huh." Phase didn't think too much of that, since even though he'd never since something like it, he'd seen much weirder stuff before.

Then when the Hydra came up, he just parried the blow and smacked it back, when some kid started talking to him.

"Hey kid, I sorta really need this. And if these guys are giving you problems, it'd be better if they got solved now. Hell, Even if the king Marches in now, you probably want these guys out here rather than back in town." Phase replied, slamming his sword right in front of the kid to keep him from getting any closer to the beast.

"Go home, you're only going to mess up and get hurt." Phase looked ahead, waiting to see what his opponents would throw at him next.

[DragonKingUK]

Dante sighed as he shook his head.

"Is that ALL you got! Seriously this is going to get boring!"

The mannequins quickly rebuilt. Dante sighed as he dropped his large bag again and released even more mannequins. Now there were archers everywhere. There were many fighters. They ranged from...

Ninja-16
Samurai-15
Archers-20

He was lucky they were all light metal. Although that was the max he could control. He smiled as they all began to attack at once. Raphael turned into a Dragon instead and flew high above sending balls of fire down along with a long range of fire. He turned into animal after animal to attack Phase.
