Heros vs Legends (Open)

[Drake Regnant]

After an hour of senseless beating Reynolds body has been broken for the most part. Bruised and beaten he was dragged out of his cell and stripped of his clothes and placed into an orange jumpsuit. Looking around he tired to ask where he was being taken to. "For your trial it will be good to see how this turns out." One of guards said as the dragged him around to chamber in it were stark white pillars and in between them consisted of a chair and above him was a stands for an audiance to see him.

A man dressed in white robes and black trimming stepped forward into the light and so did three other figures. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are gathered here at The courthouse of Pilate for the trial of West Reynolds." Said the man "Everyone you may be seated." and so everyone did. The man had a commanding voice and it could be determined that he had considerable influence just by his posture and stance alone. "Now Mr. Reynolds do you have anything to say before we proceed?" He asked him.

Reynolds unable to talk made a pondering look and then with his good arm lifted up and flipped the man off.

"Very well then we shall proceed." He replied and the trial began.

Heather from earlier was on her way to university library traveling through town walking between alleys and crossroads. Her thoughts still fixated on the woman and she was unaware of the whispers and gossip around her. It wasn't til she was halfway there that she ran into a hooded figure that was tinkering with an amulet made of silver. Though naturally curious she wanted to get a closer look, but then noticed the bloodied blade. Immediately afraid she took a step back only to trip on a piece of debris and fall on her back hitting a metallic garbage can. "Oww.... That really hurt."


((Oh you know the usual getting beaten to a pulp))

[Frettzo]

Khielan Stiffened a bit at the sudden sounds of someone falling near her, then turned to see a woman, and extended her hand towards her in an attempt to help her stand up "Hello, are you alright? We did not hear you nearby." She asks politely, silently wondering where this girl had come from and if she claimed herself a false member of Royalty as well. She wasn't really sure if she should just kil leveryone, then she'd become like the Darkness... But hse knew she had to kill the officers, for letting the Darkness rule their city. They should have all died protecting their freedom rather than succumb like cowards to the Darkness.

Grabbing the woman's hand she managed to get herself up. She was scared by the giant that stood before her all she could do was stammer at the appearance of her. She was beautiful yet intimidating this woman reminded Heather of all the princesses of days of old. "I..I am fine." She replied "I wass was just on my way to library to do some research... You see I am history major.... UMMM PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!" Heather was quivering uncontrollably "Loook I was curious about you from last night. I mean I am not royalty. Oh god. I just wanted to know more about you and Kharjan Empire, I am just a history major." As she shook back down on to the floor cupping the hands of Khielan as went on her knees.

[Frettzo]

Khielan blinked, taking off her hood "Rise. We do not see why we would not tell you about the glory of the Kharjan Empire, but we are on a mission right now and we can't allow to lose time like this. You won't find any information about our Empire on your petty libraries, the Darkness would have erased all records of our existance by now." She said, looking at the short girl up and down "You should know that we had to kill that blasphemer. It is completely forbidden to touch a Princess without her permission, and even worse, he insulted us, therefore insulting the entirety of the Kharjans. He deserved to die." She said in an attempt to get the girl to not be even more afraid.

"Could you tell us where the nearest house of justice is? We have a feeling we want to be there right now."

[Drake Regnant]

She dumbstruck for a moment as she tried to pull the pieces together and why her life was spared but she was content with her luck "Umm....umm it is down the street that way" She pointed "Its House Pilate I believe. Just one thing can I learn more about you please???" She asked nicely trying to get Khielan's good side. "Wait isn't that where West Reynolds is being held on trial..... Oh that is not good." she said looking down at her feet "Umm I can get you in there but you won't be able to save him if that is what you are after..... It is merely a show trial and then they are going to take him to the games to be executed." Heather started looking at silver locket trying to figure out where she seen it before as seem followed the woman.

[Frettzo]

Khielan raised an eyebrow at the girl's curiosity, knowing full well that the whole city would be looking for her and that this might as well be an attempt to get information out of her so she could turn her in to the authorities. "It wasn't our intention to be diplomatic when there. Thanks for the information, and please, don't let the Darkness rule your life, they're the reason we're here, avenging our people." Khielan sighed, looking at the curious girl "If you prove yourself loyal, we might share the history of the Great Kharjan Empire." She said as she began walking in the direction of the House Pilate.

[Drake Regnant]

She bowed her head "I just want to learn that is all I want in life." She replied following the woman. "It is in my nature to learn about everything. And if your friend is going to be executed then they won't take him above ground it will have to be in an underground pathway." Heather said "Wait you are sparing me. OH MY GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU." And then followed the Kharjan Woman down to the House Pilate.

The crowd in the court room cheered as the man before them was electrocuted several times just for not answering the questions the judges presented him. Pilate himself looked at the man his body smoking somewhat from the shocks "How could a man of royalty be brought down to this low of a state I will never know." Pilate thought and stood up "Well considering the evidence that has been given up to this date it is this tribunal decision that West Reynolds be sentenced to death by the arena. Time today at 3:00pm" He said as the judges got up from their seats. "We find this court adjourn. Oh and Happy New Year" as a bell went off and the crowd cheering at the verdict. And two men grabbing the semi conscious Reynolds and dragging him off into the shadows. While the crowd exited the courthouse all wanting to head to the arena and spread the news of the verdict and today's New Years day treat.

[Frettzo]

As Khielan moved, she pulled the hood on once more, makign sure her weapons were well hidden this time. Soon enough they were near the House of Pilate, and she could see a crowd coming out of it, some talking about the Arena and that Reynolds would be there for his punishment. She smirked, knowing full well that their leader would be there and that she'd be able to honourably challenge him to a duel after defeating whatever monster he'd throw at Reynolds there. So, with a smirk, she turned to the girl "Lead us to the Arena, we have to be victorious there if we want to talk to Reynolds." Khielan said. "By the way, We're Princess Khielan of the Great Kharjan Empire, the Empire that expanded throughout the entirety of the Saharan Desert, which was formerly the Kharjan Plains. Allied to the mighty city of Atlantis and home to the known world's best warriors, soldiers and finest males and females." She said the last part with the smallest hint of amusement in her voice.

[Drake Regnant]

The little woman walked with a fascinated look on her face as she was hearing an account of where she was from. Heather did not care it was true or not it was history in the making for her. "Wow.... Umm if you pardon me my name is Heather Trinsdale my friends sometimes call me Trin but I don't understandwhy some people call me princess. Personally I don't like and...Oh crap please don't kill me because I said that." She said realizing the error in her ways. "Umm you didn't come here to kill all of us right?" she asked nervously.

Just then the amulet began to shake uncontrollably and started to pull khielan's clothing in the direction of the arena.

30mins later


Reynolds in his mind was still trying to figure out the blurs that he was seeing when he was being dragged through underground corridors to the arena. It wouldn't be the first time he was in their, but with a phage runned government he was going to expect the worse now. His body was in shambles and could barely stand as much as it is. "Ugh where is Khielan?" He thought to himself "Hopefully she can get me out of here at the arena." Stripped down to his shirt and pants he was soon tossed out into a blinding light. Reynolds could hear the crowd roaring in anticipation of the event. The cold winter sun shined on his face unable to make out the simplist of objects he stood up and tried to maintain his balance.

In a pillbox above the arena the crowd cheered at the sight of couple of people that walked out. It contained three people and they waved to the crowd. "Welcome friends and all to the Yan'dulla Arena where we today shall enjoy the death of a man. A man who has in the past terrorized our people, A man who decided he was above the law, A man who thought he could bring the past to us, to those that embrace the future." He bellowed as the crowds volume intensified. "We Judge Pilate, Regent Kuuzar, and our new appointed chief of police Ragnorok Gable. Stand here to carry out his sentence. Does the crowd agree?" and with a loud uproar they signified

"YES"

"Good!!! Now shall we let this swine die slowly or die quickly?"

"PAINFUL SLOWLY"

"EXCELLENT!!!" Pilate said as he raised his left hand in the air "Now we shall let justice rain upon him."

((you can do the thirty minute time period if you want.))

[Frettzo]

Thirty minutes running through the city, following the amulet with a girl in tow hadn't been easy for sure, but it had been gratificating, considering that she was now in fron of the entrance to the arena, grinning. "Okay, uh... Heather, is it? We will go in there and we will slay the beasts thrown upon Reynolds, the Darkness has no place anywhere and we will make sure your people, as irrespectful as they are to the Kharjan Empire and its people, are freed from their control." She said quickly to Heather, then walked inside, appearing on the part with the many stupid gullible people cheering. She scowled at everyone that looked at her before breaking into a run and jumping into the arena, ducking into a roll to lessen the impact before she stood up and throw the cloak off her, revealing herself to the public with a loud roar

"We have come here, Princess Khielan of the Kharjan Empire, to avenge our people and make evil suffer the most horrible of deaths!" She shouted to the public, wielding her large golden round shield and long spear as she jogged towards Reynolds, extending a hand to him to help him up "Reynolds, stand up, we're here to help you kill these bastards, maybe even torture them a bit, or a lot." She smirked.
