Kicks door down

I'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.

@PaulHaynek @The Irish Tree (EUL)

"Peace, Hornet. I may look like the Varjans, but I assure you they consider me more an enemy than you are. I am Revuel Arvida from the Scarce Legion. My legion has forsaken their oaths to justice and has joined forces with the evil and wicked Varjo. I am here to make sure they don't harm anymore of the innocent and further besmirch the name. When I heard that a sizeable force of Scarce Legion was invading Shizuyama, I immediately sought passage. That was how I met Lady Kyouko, and she graciously sent me here to fulfill my mission."


"Hello, Kerry. I believe he can be trusted. What brings you here? Did Kikyo deliver my message to you?"


Kerry stared at the bald man for a moment longer....before sighing, hand moving away from her spears as she relaxed.

"Alright. If Eula says you're good, then you're good to me as well, Rev.", she spoke to the rebel Varjan before turning her attention to Eula, grabbing a nearby stool as she made her approach. "And no, I came here on my own. Kikyo was too busy reminding people that 'the mamono are not to be trusted. They're lying deceivers and we don't need their help' and blah blah to-the-surprise-of-fucking-no one blah."

The hornet set the stool down in front of Eula and promptly sat down, taking a deep breath before giving the automaton her full attention.

"First off, I need to know: What happened after I flew off? Part of me expected you to follow, but you didn't, so that must mean you stayed."
@PaulHaynek @The Irish Tree (EUL)

As her allies discussed on what to do next, Kerry wandered over to Relica's converted workshop. Upon entering, she would find Eula, suspended on a stand with wires and tubes connecting her to various machines. She also see another resident, one she's never seen before. A bald, clean-shaven man wearing dark red armor that looked a bit similar to Varjan Warlocks she has fought so far.

"And might I ask who you might be?", she queried with suspicion, her hand twitching toward one of her spears.
@Sho Minazuki

"Garrick, was it? Me and my men will secure the area around the ruin, perhaps you could take a look at the ruin itself? Some of my men will be with you"


Garrick nodded and gave a hum of acknowledgment as he strode forward toward the ruins, his eyes surveying the surroundings for anything unusual.
@PaulHaynek @AzureKnight (SHI) @Restalaan (GRI) @The Irish Tree (LIL) @Enkryption

Oh shit, he listened to me. Maybe there is hope for us yet., Kerry thought in jest as she turned her attention to the Elite, who seemed unwilling to call it quits even when his underlings are in full retreat, which she merely shrugged at. With Gringor taking care the pillar, she can wrap this up once she has taken care of this fool. The Elite made wide slash at the hornet, only for her to flip over his head, wings buzzing. Undeterred, the Varjan spun around and attempted another slash. Kerry gracefully dodged again, flipping backwards before rushing forward with an overhead slash of her own with Dusk. The Elite raised his sword to block the strike, a loud clang being heard throughout the area. Before Kerry could do anything else, she noticed movement approaching from the tree line. A second later, that movement revealed itself to be...

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU THREE BEEN!?", the hornet exclaimed as Shizuka, Liliana and Alice had returned from their quest, just in time to the end of the Varjan assault.
@Sho Minazuki

Garrick gave a silent nod of acknowledgement as he boarded the skiff, paying no mind to the unsettled and intimidated stares he was getting.

He was used to it.
@PaulHaynek @Restalaan (GRI)

Kerry narrowly dodged a mace swing before she delivered a roundhouse kick to her opponent's side, knocking them away. Taking a moment, she turned catapult to see her handy work. The siege weapon was engulfed in the flames and the firing crew had to abandon their station, lest they be incinerated as well.

Okay, that's one. Now for the- Gringor!?

Sure enough, Kerry turned around just in time to the High Orc himself charging in like a raging Minotaur anf flung himself at the other catapult, completely routing the other firing crew. The hornet was about to cheer him on when a Varjan Elite blindsided him.

"Shit!", she exclaimed, wings buzzing as flew in right on time to deflect the enemy's downward swing before kicking him in the chest, sending him back a distance. "Glad you can join the party, musclehead!, Kerry said to Gringor before pointing toward the obelisk. "See that pillar over there? Smash it. Trust me, I would've wrapped this up way sooner if that shit wasn't there!
@PaulHaynek

SHINNNNNNNG!

Tch, of course. Shit can't be easy.

Kerry quickly hopped to the side to avoid a sword swing, the Footmen regaining their bearings to now protect the Null Pillar. Obviously, the obelisk's durability would not allow it to go down to a single swipe of her spears. By the time she actually dealt with it, the catapults would have broken through the barrier. Time was of the essence, so the hornet would have to utilize something else.

That's when she noticed the fire pits stationed near the catapults. Naturally used to enhance the destructive capability of the Varjan's ammunition.

A smirk bloomed on her lips.

Okay, then. Let's get creative!

After deflecting another sword strike and kicking the combatant in the jaw for all of his troubles, Kerry made a bee-line toward one of the pits. Stashing Mort on her back, she thrusted Dusk underneath the pit with two hands before, with great heave, tossed the fiery contents up and outward...

....toward a catapult!
@Sho Minazuki @Renose @Letter Bee

"Mr. Garrick, or Honorable Garrick if you'd prefer to be called that, would you mind leading our little group once we meet up again? I would also like to ask you about the 'great change' you foresaw for this land once we depart on the mission, and if it's the sort of calamity that requires certain... grudges to be set aside."


Garrick looked at Ken as the boy said his statement. Leading was something the cryptid had never put much thought into. Not because he hated leading, but more because he was always alone and used to being alone. Yet here was, tasked with a mission to retrieve a Gnosis with Ken and the elf. Speaking of which....

"Garrick will do, young one.", he answered before walking over to the elf and crouching down in front of her. Even when down to her level like this, his shadow completely engulfed the elf girl.

However, the size difference didn't mean anything. Not when Garrick had witnessed firsthand just how destructive this girl can be, both to everything around her and to herself. The lizardman gazed deeply into her eyes.....and there, he saw it.

The waiting. The calm eye of the storm.

Without prompt or ceremony, Garrick reached out and took hold of the arrow embedded in her before quickly pulling it out.

"Thy moments will come, girl of the tempest. But be warned: such rage and carnage shall only bring strife to all, thyself included. Care for thyself, for even gods can only take so much.", he advised, tossing the bloody arrow aside before standing up and turning his attention back to the Sand King. "I accept thy request, o desert king."
@PaulHaynek

"We wanna see you try, bug!"


"Your funeral, asswipe.", Kerry replied as she began to channel....her......

The fuck?

Try as she might, the winds were no longer answering her call. She couldn't even feel the mana in her own body. Something was actively suppressing her magic. But what could possibly be.....!

Kerry snapped her gaze back toward the obelisk. The glowing obelisk.

The dots connected. Hell, now that she's getting a good look at it, she remembered what this obelisk was as she had seen this before.

"A Null Pillar!? Fuck me!", cursed the hornet, the realization now putting her on backfoot as the situation turned even more dangerous. Being outnumbered already made this hard, but being silenced as well made this endeavor a near death trap. By all means, the wiser call was to retreat......But.....

Kerry gave a quick glance back toward the temple, seeing Io's barrier still standing....but for how much longer? If Kerry went back for help, would the catapults be able to break through during that time?

No, she couldn't risk that. Right now, she was the only one here to do something about their enemies' backline. That left just one option...

"Let's get it on, assholes!", Kerry cried out as she dashed forward. The Varjan Footmen charged as well, willing to meet her head on. When one of their own swung their sword first, however....

CLANG!

Kerry deflected the attack with Dusk before jumping into the air, wings buzzing, and proceeded to use her enemies' heads as stepping stones toward her real objective: The obelisk.

Her plan was simple, really.

Destroy the pillar.
