[IC] Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

[MonsieurShade]

Jacque yelped and reached up to clutch his ear, dropping his fruit yet again in the process much to his chagrin, "Ow Hey! Fuckin quit it! Will you let go!?" he hissed as he stumbled along, trying to free himself of Nao's grip. The elemental skidded to a halt and grabbed Nao's forearm to avoid having his ear torn off from the sudden stop, "Seriously what's with you people and disrespecting your elders? If you're 43, then i'm at least old enough to be your grand father, so would you perhaps see to letting me go so I can walk normally like the god damned adult I am?!". Jacque was surprisingly nonaggressive during the entire situation, thought whether it was because he wasn't really in a fighting mood, or because the ridiculousness of the situation threw him off guard, the world would never know.

[Spriggs27]

" Your not an adult, not yet, when you act like one then you'll be an adult so for now you;ll still be just a little kid." Nao was serious with her words and didn't like how Jacque was being like a kid and wasn't acting his age.

[MonsieurShade]

"Oh please, as an immortal, you of all people should know that a century can be passed in the blink of an eye if your lifespan has no set death date. My kind can live for an indefinite amount of years, sometimes five hundred, sometimes eight hundred, a few even make it well over a thousand. Do you really expect me to strive to meet your standards of what an adult should be like four that long?" Jacque pried his ear free and rubbed it with a growl. The elemental stood straight and stared Nao in the eye, "And any way I may not be what YOU consider mature, but at the end of the day, I know that this planet will either live or die based on how I and the others people here act. When the time comes, I will do what is needed of me to see this planet live. And thats all that matters." he said while folding his arms.

[Spriggs27]

Nao looked at Jacque," Yeah you may have been around for a couple years but still, you gotta have some sort of manners even if your hundreds of years old, or thousands of years old, but the matter is your not mature and act the way your body has stopped aging then as a little kid that needs to get his ass kicked in order to behave, no let's go kiddo." Nao began walking to the meeting room but stopped and turned to Jacque," You may have been around for hundreds of years but me, I've been around for thousands of years kid, sorry about lying if it even matters to you." she said before she started to walk again.

[MonsieurShade]

"Spare me your standpoints on social etiquette. I wouldn't have been rude had you not gotten all ruffled about me telling you I almost gutted you for surprising me. And deceit is hardly something to apologize about if the lie is sometime as superficial as your true age." Jacque retorted as he followed after Nao with his arms still folded. "And quit telling me I need my ass kicked. With the exception of a handful of people, everyone who's tried to do that has ended up either hospitalized or dead at the bottom of some large body of water.".

[Spriggs27]

" Yeah but how has the fights against Immortals and people who can survive underwater have gone ?" she asked while walking not even turning to look at Jacque,

[MonsieurShade]

"They've been interesting. Never fought an immortal, but i've fought plenty of aquatic beasts and warriors in my time. They still tend go down when having their innards pierced or spilled out by Manō. And if I can't use my sword, water doesn't just drown, it can cut and strike just as well as any conventional weapon. " Jacque explained in a rather offhanded manner, his annoyance displaced as he began to discuss a topic he actually found interesting; combat.

Rachel managed to make her way towards the meeting hall of the castle, still looking rather pissed off as she had her arms crossed and her gaze was gearing towards the ground, not caring whom she passed on the way to get there or who was already in side the meeting hall,
Once there the angered hybrid went to the furthest corner she could find and roughly fell back against the wall in her grumpy mood, not wanting to be bothered by anyone right now as anyone who decided to bother her now would get a punch to the face. Summoning her trusted scythe to her hand as she held her hand out, Rachel's purple eyes gazed over her ShadowStorm as it's own topaz gem eyes gazed back to her form it's carved demonic, dragon looking head. It was true that her scythe hadn't tasted the blood of combat for a while,

" Well for me I guess it's been a mix, I still remember being a young Hessian in the American Revolution, I kinda feel that even with powers nothing really changes in some fights when you have a gun." Nao told the water elemental

daylight was rising over the horizon, light rays began to flood into Amber and Kori's room, Amber's eye's twitched slightly as the light hit her, she opened her eye's with a yawn as she sat up, she looked to her left to see Kori wasn't there, she moved the bed sheet and found a note. Amber raised her eyebrow slightly as she grabbed it and opened it up, it was from Kori, it said he was going to find the person who dropped the bomb on their kingdom while she helped save their dimension. Amber grinned slightly as she got out of bed, she stretched as she walked towards the boor, on her way to it flames enveloped her for a second and she was fully dressed, she made her way to the meeting room like everyone else
.
Eve was on Magnus's back as he walked through the halls, his head bumped open the main doors to the room, he looked around before he lied down, letting Eve off, she stood next to Magnus with a smile
.
Spartan was in the meeting room, staring out a large painted glass window with his hands behind his back, waiting for the others to arrive

[Spriggs27]

Seiko was nearby she looked over to Spartan, she had her arm crossed and was leaning against a wall, she had her eyes set on the door and was ready for Rachel to burst in and try to attack her or try to come in from the roof, out of the Shadow, she closed her eyes for a second and remembered all of her training wondering while wondering if and when Rachel was gonna attack her, she took a deep breath and felt the area around her while staying still she didn't want to move and mess up what she was trying to do.

[MonsieurShade]

"American revolution huh? I'm almost tempted to ask whether you sided with the yanks or the brits. Though in the end a gun can only do so much when the thing you're fighting either lacks a solid form or is to tough for projectile penetration." Jacque said just as he and Nao came to the entrance of the meeting room. Jacque was almost starting to enjoy his conversation, though the enjoyment quickly came to a screeching halt much like he had before when he sensed a familiar, and highly unpleasant presence coming behind. A violent sloshing sound emanated from the camel pack strapped onto Jacque as he stopped in his tracks and turned around, though he surprisingly didn't reach for his weapon this time, "Fire beast." he said in an icy whisper as he slowly turned and awaited Amber's arrival.

[Spriggs27]

" I was on both sides, but that wasn't my favorite war, world war one was one of my favorites next to it's sequel, around that time we used the trenches, that's where everything was more lively, better bullets and other gear, but one thing pissed me off. The fucking grenades, just one and your dead, easy to dodge one in a trench, just go one way or another, but when one of those fuckers are at your feet you got nothing to say but oh shit." Nao showed real anger in her tone of voice but then stopped and looked to Jacque, to see him waiting for something." Hey kid, what's eating you ? "

[NacNak]

Spartan turned to see everyone, a slight smile on him, that was until he seen Jacque, his hands still behind his back as he listened to them
.
Eve was watching out a window with a smile, keeping her focus on a few birds that were flying by, Magnus however looked to the doors with a low his when he seen Jacque, he never met this person, he was new, Magnus didn't trust him
.
as Amber flew down the hall, she sensed something, her pleasant smile turned into a displeased sarcastic look as she stopped flying and landed on the floor before she turned a corner, she slowly walked out from behind it with a slight glare as she seen someone standing in the doorway of the meeting room, she tuned out the other and focused on him. Her arms crossed as she slowly walked towards the room, the air around her began to heat up and the heat could be seen shuddering off her, her eye's glowed slightly as she closed on him and her hair flowed like flames

[MonsieurShade]

Jacque had barely heard Nao as she asked him what was the matter, just as he'd barely heard her as she recounted her involvement in multiple wars throughout time. The elemental seemed to switch into tunnel vision, ignoring everything, even the massive head that poked out of a nearby door and hissed at him as Amber came into view. Jacque sneered and walked towards Amber, the water in his pack sloshed around more erratically with each step he took, his eyes glowed cerulean as he stopped just two meters away from the phoenix. Jacque tilted his head up and looked down at Amber contemptuously, "So, you're the one I sensed earlier? Hmph, and to think, here I am getting worked up over a fire elemental, and it turns out to be a mere fledgling fresh from the nest." he said before letting out a wry chuckle.

[NacNak]

"great, just when I thought we were done being children another bed wetter shows up to ruin it..." Amber say's with a slight grin as she looks up to Jacque, her arms still crossed as the ground beneath her slowly begin to glow a dull red
.
Spartan watched the two with a stern look as he stood behind the map table
"great... " he said to himself as he readied to intervene

[MonsieurShade]

"Bed wetter? Cute coming from a whelp who barely looks to be out of pull ups." Jacque retorted as water began to leak from the small nozzle attached to the bag and pooled onto the ground behind him. Manō meanwhile began to rattle in its sheath loudly, mirroring its wielder's growing hostility to the point where it seemed as though it would fall from the sheath. Jacque's mouth twisted upward into a cruel smirk, "I wonder though, if I sliced open your gut, would magma pour out of your innards like it would an adult? It was always so fun to watch when I did it to the older members of your ilk.", he said, all too happy to resort to biting commentary about how he'd slaughtered other kinds of elementals in combat.

[NacNak]

Amber slightly arched an eyebrow at the question that included what he did to other fire elemental, her hair began to flow more viciously as she glared at the boy, within a the blink on an eye, Amber had gone from having her arms crossed, to her hair turning into flames and her fists on fire aiming to knock out the boys teeth as she lunged at him while yelling

[Death]

as the flaming haired woman went to throw her punch time seemed to slow and the air became cold, enough that one could clearly see their one breath, out from below the middle of the two a dark figure phased into being as fog emanated from the bottom on his cloak, he looked to the flame haired woman and caught her fist in his armored hands, the flames were hot, but his armor protected him from the heat

"...so easily upset... you must control your anger..."

the dark figure said in a beep foreboding voice to the girl as he let her fist go before he slowly looked to the one who provoked her to strike

"...you must control your hate towards her... it would be a shame to take you before your time..."

the dark figure said to him as he stood between the two his hands to his sides

[NacNak]

Amber grit her teeth a jumped back when she was released, she eyed the dark figure with a slight glare
"who the hell are you to tell me what to do!" Amber asked with grit teeth as the flames around her hands intensified slightly and as her hair flowed with anger
