The War of the Three

Wolf

Wolf’s aggressive first strike proved to be in vain as his blade fell just short of it's mark and missed the rose dragon entirely. Leaving himself wide open, the dragon launched it's counter, sending powerful gusts of wind accompanied by waves of thorns. The Inquisitor could do nothing but trust in his power armor to protect against the thorns as he was relentlessly pelted.

While his trust was not misplaced, the damage from the thorns left his armor in ruin. One more attack like that and it would all be over. And just as he realized the danger he was in, Wolf caught a glimpse of magic activate below him. Though he attempted to dispel the lance, the force of the wind pressed him down too fast. The sound of the lance piercing through metal and flesh could be heard by all nearby as Wolf was impaled.

The Inquisitor lay still on the lance, blood dripping from every point of his broken armor. It looked as though he had met his end, when suddenly he sprung to life. Grabbing the tip of the gore covered lance, Wolf painfully pulled himself up until he was able to slip off. Slowly his rage filled eyes turned their gaze upon Atarah.

Advancing on the harpy, Wolf moved as though he hadn't just been skewered through the chest. But after taking a few steps toward Atarah, the Machina’s pace slowed, and soon his walk became staggered before dropping to his knees. Unable to stand again, Wolf slowly raised his arm cannon at the demon, only to finally topple over and succumb to death.

Balrog

Pushing forward, Balrog continued to fire upon Harvester with little resistance. It seemed as though the robot had just given up, letting every hit land as he stood there watching the colossal demon approach. It was a bit disappointing to say the least, but if this was the fate it chose, then so be it.

Just as he had planned, the moment he was in range Balrog thrust his claw straight into Harvester’s chest. Sparks flew around the gaping hole of metal as Balrog pushed further in. “Balrog heard you was smart.” The demon cackled as he ripped his claw out of Harvester, “Guess Balrog heard wrong.” Aiming his plasma cannon at the defeated Machina’s head, Balrog was about to fire when suddenly vanished.

Realizing it had no chance of winning this fight alone, Harvester had looked for a way to take Balrog down with him rather than best him. With all its processors focusing on Balrog, it was able to warp him into the star it originally took the solar mass from. Knowing it had effectively vaporized its enemy, The HR-513 shut down as it not longer could function after sustaining such damage.

Zarin Malthain

Location: Ruins

---

With Leblanc on it’s back and Clean pinning it’s foot, Zarin focused on keeping the beast from healing. Every wound that looked as though it was about to regenerate was torn open again by his whip. Combined with the barrage of bullets and grenades, it was only a matter of time before the beast was finally defeated. In all honesty, the fight had gone over a lot easier than he had anticipated. It was kind of disappointing actually, though how was he supposed to know there were reinforcements right around the corner ready to jump in?

Zarin watched as the once intimidating monster melted into a dark bloody pool of nothing, and in it’s place left what appeared to be a piece of paper. ”Well that’s strange.” Zarin muttered as he walked closer to inspect the paper. It seemed to be a sheet of music, something the cadet was actually able to read, but it was no song he had ever heard before. Wanting a closer look, he reached down to pick the music sheet up, only to have it burst into purple flame just before he could grab it.

He would probably need to report that to someone, but that would have to wait. The moment he pulled away from the ashes, a number of the cadets went on alert after hearing something moving close by. Zarin followed suit unfurling his whip and angling it back ready to strike. When the source revealed itself to be a non-hostile girl around their age, Zarin once more lowered his guard and began coiling his whip while she talked.

Though he chose to remain silent for most of the questions, as he wasn’t sure what information he could trust to give this girl, her last statement about finding one of their squadmates forced a loud sigh out of him. “That would be Chen.” Zarin said shaking his head. “He was with us before we got captured. Of course the freaken magician found a way to escape. I guess we should go get him, if you wouldn’t mind taking us to your place?”

@KoL

Kol, I think you've been hanging out with Windel a little too much. You're starting to make the same faces...

Sorry but the threat is not over!

@floodtalon

Are you okay if I say Chen was a part of Zarin's group that got separated? Or do you have a different explanation for how he wound up at Diana's?

The War of the Three

Wolf

Wolf tried valiantly to keep the roses under control. Continually slicing, burning, and dispelling as needed, he focused all his efforts into pushing them back. At first, it seemed like it was working. As far as Wolf could tell, he had forced the the flowers to reseed a noticeable distance. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

As a booming roar broke through the air, Wolf quickly took his eyes off the flowers to find the source. Simultaneously, the rose dragon and he looked eyes, all but confirming the duel that was about to take place. Without hesitation, Wolf abandoned the roses and charged toward the dragon.

As the two neared each other, Wolf’s eyes flashed indicating his casting of disruption on the beast to keep it from using any sort of magic in this fight. With that taken care of all the Inquisitor could do was keep his blade forward and ready. Once in range he lept into the air and brought his halberd down aiming to impale the dragon right between it's eye.

Is that not what you normally do when meeting an NPC?

Stare at them as they monologue about story events?

@Zynros

Not always. Sometimes you get the chance to interrupt with a paragon or renegade option.

Yeah uh, trying to bat a cooked grenade did it in lol.
