[hr]ATTN: [@PaulHaynek], [@The Irish Tree] (Eula), [@Rezod92] (Kerry), & [@Restalaan] (Gringor)[hr][hider=Where It All Began][center][quote=Gringor][color=f7941d][b]“HAMMER BOI IS MINE!”[/b][/color][/quote][/center]
"[color=976f29][i][b]I think not.[/b][/i][/color]"

As his axe descended, it would fling back into the air several feet. In that same instance, Gringor would be confronted by a technique he could never forget by a face he’d never seen.

"[color=976f29][i][b]Never in your wildest dreams, Orc.[/b][/i][/color]"

Cecilia would shift up, returning to Alice, as she extended her right arm; pushing the Varjan Legionnaire several feet back and away. He left tracks in the ground by how hard he’d planted his feet to resist, and it showed how far Alice could push back on that resistance.

Alice smiled, wickedly, as she caught Gringor’s axe, and vines wrapped the long handle around it and Dusk - reinforcing the handle with the spear. "[color=976f29]Now, then,[/color]" she says, "[color=976f29]I started this quest, so I should finish it...[/color]"

Her expression turned malicious, as she suddenly bore down on the Legionnaire, picking up speed, "[color=976f29]Tempo: Prestissimo,[/color]" swing her arm back, "[color=976f29]Invasion,[/color]" and swinging the reinforced axe at lightning speed, "[color=976f29]Heavenly Strike![/color]"

As strong as Gringor’s axe was, even reinforced by Dusk, it wasn’t her axe. Boosted by the Heavenly Strike, it did not clear the Legionnaire’s armor as smoothly as Carroll would have, resulting in a good gash run through it, no real damage was done. "[color=976f29]Disappointing,[/color]" Alice says, as her vine withered from the sheer force of speed drying them out. "[color=976f29]Carroll, to me.[/color]"

"[color=808080][b]Yeah, yeah. Be safe, Eula,[/b][/color]" Carroll says, before surging through the air like a bolt of lightning, and materializing in her sword form. "[color=808080][b]How nostalgic, thinking back to that day...[/b][/color]"

Alice would release her hold on Dusk, and throw it back to Kerry, before heaving Gringor’s axe beyond him - sinking it into the chest of the last, unattended Varjan Brigand; the poor soul having seen the hell unfold. Mercy didn’t come into mind for the kill, but Alice didn’t want any interruptions.

That, and spitefulness.

"[color=976f29]I offer you surrender, Varjan, and nothing else,[/color]" Alice says, "[color=976f29]Deny, and death is the only outcome. You are outgunned.[/color]"

The Legionnaire was against the wall, as the Taskforce held the high ground, now.

"[color=808080][b]Go ahead, buddy,[/b][/color]" Carroll snickered, "[color=808080][b]Make your choice.[/b][/color]"[/hider]
