Rye stumbled back from the blast onto a knee, swords flying in every direction, "OW! You are so gonna wish that lightning bolt knocked you out lad..." Rye growled attempting to stand but quickly falling back down. His aura crackled a little showing how little of it he had left. OK maybe not as quickly as I thought... Rye winced a little evaluating his options. The boss is gonna be real happy with you dead haha, what was I supposed to be wishing, LAD." A small female stag faunus crept behind a tree with one of Rye's sabers firmly gripped in her hands. Rye smirked to himself nodding to her "I said, You're gonna wish that lightning bolt knocked you out, but a sword will suffice, NOW LASS!" The small faunus swung the saber over her head, the henchman swinging around to only be hit in the face by it. He stumbled back holding his face glaring at the girl. She let out a loud "EEEP!" before kicking the henchman in the tender bits and running back into forest dropping the saber. "Told ya" Rye said kicking the doubled over henchman in the face.

Smirking to himself as he watched his opponent dodge his rocket, Ezekiel tightened his grip on the rope that held the knife that was thrown. "Not bad kid...tis a shame that ye havta die here" he said loudly with a wicked smile. Might as well end this quickly he thought, trying to salvage the situation as assessed the situation. As much as he had preferred not to use it, he activated his semblance and directed all his anger and irritation at his opponent. Under normal circumstances, Gaia's Wrath was a last resort and used to tip the scale in his favor. However, this time it was simply used to wreak havoc and chaos.

Using his mace, Ezekiel hit the ground, causing the hardened ground to shake and crack, which allowed his semblance to utilize the pieces easier. Lifting dozens of pieces of dirt and rocks, he manipulated each of them into sharpened pieces and shot every single one of them at rapid speed at Oni while pulling on the rope to get his opponent closer to him.


Trying to focus on his opponent Chris continued to shoot numerous rounds at Diamante, while doing his best to dodge the rounds being fired at him. Here and there, he watched as the remaining guards slowly fell at the onslaught of bullets and skirmishes throughout the caravan. Feeling the ground shake suddenly, he shot a glance over at Z to see that he was using his semblance. "If Z is taking this seriously then I better do the same" he muttered.

Hitting a button on his assault rifle, Chris transformed it to its secondary form. As the rifle barrel doubled in length, he removed the ammo cartridge and swapped it with the high-powered explosive sniper rounds that he carried. Moving behind one of the wagons, he took a quick breath before turning the corner to face Diamante again. Seeing his foe ahead of him, Chris took aim and shot a round directly at Diamante, hoping that it would either pierce through or that the explosion would damage him enough.


Swinging Firestorm to hit one of the remaining guards across the head, Suntalia watched as his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. Seeing that the rest were either taken down or were facing off against Rye Rye, she jumped up onto one of the wagons to get a better view. Figuring that their fearless leader would be fine facing the few remaining guards, she turned her attention to Diamante and Oni. Realizing that both had their hands full at the moment, she turned to look at Rye. "What next Rye Rye?" she yelled, activating her semblance as she readied herself to fire it at whoever Rye decided needed the most help.

"Die here? And why would th--" Oni's jaw almost literally dropped when he realised his situation. Dashing to the right almost immediatley, Oni tried to negate the effect that Ezekiel was having on him by yanking on his rope dart; but Oni began to get closer to the man almost as soon as he started to run. Not seeing a situation where he was getting out unscathed, Oni jumped to the ground as he saw the dirt and rocks begin to fly toward him; the shrapnel managing to hit parts of his legs before he could get on the ground completely.

Oni's aura absorbed the damage that his legs would have suffered, but he could tell that would have been pretty bad if he didn't jump down in time. As soon as Oni gathered himself after that last attack, he once again yanked with his left hand, trying to pull the rope dart back. Alright..So, he has to have a substantial amount of earth to work with for his Semblance, it doesn't appear that he can manipulate large bodies of rock or else he wouldn't have had to smash the ground with his mace, which takes a decent amount of time compared to regularly attacking..What a drag, this is gonna be harder than I thought. Oni thought to himself, trying to devise a coherent strategy. As soon as he got his weapon back (if he got it back) he was going to utilise his speed to get a better angle for attack.

Seeing his opponent change weapon styles, Diamante realized he desperately needed to move. He only just managed to stand up and move a tiny bit before the shot struck his arm. The resulting explosion threw him off the cart and into a tree, where he fell to the ground, his vision of the attacker now obscured by the caravan.

Diamante took a couple of seconds to catch his breath before standing up and brushing the dust off. "The nerve of some people..." he muttered. "How about a taste of your own medicine?" He pulled a grenade and loaded it into the launcher on his gun. He then took a few steps forward and launched himself back into the air, weapon raised and quickly refocused on his opponent. With no teammates, horses, or hostages near him, Diamante determined it was safe to fire and even relished the moment when he pulled the trigger.


Before Suntalia could have a chance to fire, a sickle came flying in from behind her, attached to a thin, lengthy chain. The sickle narrowly missed her leg, embedding itself in the ground at her feet. The owner of this weapon then came flying down the chain, swatting at her with the heavy flail at the other end of it. As he passed her, this new combatant grabbed hold of his sickle, digging into the ground to slow himself while he turned to face her. He ended in a low, feral battle stance, gripping the sickle in one hand while spinning the chain and flail with his other. "My job was supposed to be easy... why do you kids have to complicate things, hm?"

[CallMeDoc]

Well things just got ten times more difficult... Rye took a moment to evaluate the situation taking a deep breath behind some nearby cover. The leader seems to have some form of earth control, probably best I deal with him and Oni deal with the new guy... Suntalia will have her hands full with the grunts but she can handle it, she's a big girl. Rye inhaled deeply before calling for his nearby blades sensing their familiar forms in the nearby forest. With that Rye exhaled jumping up landing onto the three nearby blades launching himself into the air, "Oni! Off! I'll deal with him. Santalia! the grunts if you please." Rye landed next to Oni with a soft thud "Deal with the new guy, your the fastest of us, I'll deal with pebble brain here."

[jjb2158]

Getting distracted by the newcomer, Suntalia dodged the flail attack nimbly and somersaulted a few paces away from him, Firestorm ready to engage. However, before she could attack, she heard her new order from Rye. "Sorry love, but the captain has spoken" she said happily, beaming her opponent with a dimpled smile before jumping quickly away to face off against the few remaining guards.


The excitement of hitting Diamante with his shot quickly faded away as Chris saw his opponent come back with a vengeance. "Sweet mother of-" he shouted as he saw what looked like a grenade get fired directly at him. Desperately jumping to the side, the blast from the grenade still caught his entire right side. Flying from the blast radius, Chris crashed through one of the wagons and landed flat on his face. "Sorry cap..." he muttered, letting out a groan before passing out from the pain.


"Rgggrh" growled Ezekiel as he saw that he barely nicked Oni. Before he could let out a second barrage, another opponent yelled some orders and came over to face him. "HAH!!!!" Ezekiel roared out of laughter. "Ye think a puny runt like yerself has a chance?" he replied, letting the rope go so he could properly face Rye. Activating his semblance, Ezekiel smashed the ground with his mace before stomping the ground in addition. "See how ye like this!" he yelled, forming three large earth walls to surround Rye. Picking up the shards he broke with his mace with his semblance, he shot a barrage of earthen bullets directly at his opponent.

[CptSteel]

"Sure thing, boss." Oni said before dashing away towards his new opponent. While he was not being overly stealthily, Oni would still go un-detected unless someone had a good eye, as his dark colours could easily go unseen in the heat of battle. When he got into range of his opponent, which was still a good distance away, he jumped up and built momentum into his rope dart which he threw a bit to his opponent's side; in anticipation of a dodge or sidestep, as at this point Oni would have been clearly seen.

[Flooberoid]

"Ha! Serves you right!" Diamante taunted, seeing his enemy go down. He landed once more on top of a wagon and took aim at the grunts Suntalia was now going after. Not having been given any further instructions, it seemed best to him that he just start cleaning up whatever was left.


As his old opponent fled, a new opponent revealed himself to Fish. A rope dart came out of nowhere, and flew right off to his side. With a patronizing smile, Fish turned to face Oni. "Nice shot. Anyway, I'm not about to let you punks decide who I get to fight. Try and keep up!" With that, he hopped up on the nearest cart and once again located Suntalia. From here, he started launching himself toward her at startling speeds, using the sickle and chain as an anchor point for each jump.
