Akira continued to work his way through the crowd as the distance on his tracking marking edged closer to zero. What had once been a mass rebellion of players appeared to be a dwindling skirmish of those lucky to survive the first few swings. It was in that moment of realisation that Vegnya was in Akira's sights and he pulled his hood up once more quickening his pace as he ignored the clashes of weapons around him. "Move!" he grunted as he pushed his way passed other players to try and get a better vantage point on the situation. It would seem that another player had already reached the Grand Masters side, a sigh of relief escaped Akira as he realised that others had been able to avert the Grand Master's death amongst the chaos.
Though that relief would be short lived, as Akira got barged past by a mob of angered players. It was clear that they too had caught sight of Vegnya and were now charging in like a group of mindless drones servicing the purpose for which they were constructed. By the time Akira was free enough to react a good 12 players had already barged their way past, somewhat taken a back by their blatant ignorance Akira simply followed the group. The attacking mob was rather relentless as their method of attack seemed less intent on killing the Grand Master and more so in causing pain. Their shameful kicking and beating of the downed leader looking similar to a drunker bar brawl. Vegnya's movements also seemed strange as she appeared to be fighting highly defensive against her opponents simply prolonging the fight rather than ending it. It wasn't long before the Grand Master had been overpowered, but just as quickly as Vegnya had been restrained she had been almost completely freed from her assailant's as the player with her had laid waste to all but a pitiful few of the attackers.
Still residing to the back of what was once a gang of players Akira pulled down his hood once more, lifting a finger to his lips before pulling it back up. Fortunately for him, he could afford to act in such manner as the <<Hate>> fuelled players remained focused on Vegnya and her allies. Akira walked forward to be in line with the rest of the would be assailants, time to test out this <<Hate>> effects influence. Looking to one of the remaining robed players, Akira simply motioned with his head toward Vegnya & Ezmeralda and even this seemed enough to incite the player as they rushed forth to their impending death.
Before the last one could react to such a bad call of judgement Akira's sword swept the ground, knocking the player from their feet before impaling the blade straight through the main hands shoulder, the blade screeching as it pinned the player to the floor. "Such a predicament." Akira says as he pulls down his hood and kneels on the players main arm to prevent any forced weapon swings. "You cannot simply trust any who wear your colours." With that Akira pulled down the hood a final time. Still knelt down he raises his gaze to Vegnya and Ezmeralda. "It's good to see you're both safe. Now as for you..." Akira turned his attention the player, still pinned. A small amount of health remaining on their HP bar, Akira dabbed his fingers on the wound and raised them to his lips. "Eugh... bitter. Had you not assisted in the attempted assassination of our leader you may have had a right to trial." Akira stood, freeing his sword from the floor but keeping it well wedged in the players shoulder. "But no trial is needed, when the crime is treason." Akira twisted the weapon as the wound ripped a larger wound in the player and draining their final ounce of health.
DEAD
Akira glanced round as it appeared a moments respite had been earned, as he stepped over to the Grand Master. "I do hope aside from that beating that you are well Grand Master." Akira had a deep respect for Vegnya having vouched for Akira and welcoming into the Brotherhood, he knew all to well the hounding of players prior to joining due to his appearance. "Though the situation is hardly ideal, I believe Nyx is in pursuit. That or she left, though I've never known the Iron Maiden run from a fight. With your permission I would join Nyx in the pursuit. Hikaru is a threat to all of us, both in combat and in what he knows."
