Was it eliminate or capture? Vidalia had seemed to forgotten the instructions given to the team so she blantly guessed and kept her sword in it's scabboard.

Lynae and Sona whip around the corner, Patchouli and Vidalia just around the corner. The cavern opens up into a fairly large room shape. Crates and barrels are littered around the room, a table and chair setup is in the near right corner, and bedrolls line the back wall. The light comes from a high power emergency lantern, lit and spiked into the ceiling in the center of the room like a chandelier.

Half way into the room one row of crates extends from the right hand wall. The row is tightly placed, so the row serves as a sort of knee high divider from the near and far right hand sides of the room. Behind this barrier are two men, one rather scrawny and the other of average build. The average man seems to be climbing down behind the crate, as if he was a magician disappearing from the stage. The smaller man looks frantic, and his motions indicate he's trying to hurry on his compatriot.

The two men turn to look at the two girls they can see, both wielding weapons and ready for a scrap. They look to each other, and the gulp of the scrawny man is somehow audible throughout the cave. Immediately the larger man throws his hands up and he disappears downward. A voice, probably his can be heard as he goes down, saying "They're here, run boys!". The scrawny man makes to jump after the first, as if to repeat his disappearing trick.

As she rounded the corner, even Patchouli found it hard to believe that these guys were worth sending huntresses after. "Um... If we're going after them, why don't we block the way behind us? It doesn't seem like there's any other way out of the cave, so we'd be able to slow their escape down pretty easily if they got around us..."

Lynae blinked blankly toward the men. "Wait, gals. I wanna try something." She puts a stern face on and shouts, "If you guys run, we certainly won't hesitate to chase you done like hunting dogs! Your choice.." Lynae finishes with a smile and a wink.

Vidalia looked up at her leader with a devilish grin. Chasing them huh? It's not like Vidalia would have much trouble rounding them up like sheep anyway but if this was Lynae's game then she was sure to play along. ton

"Please do pick running way! I would love to catch you all! The Best part is that I don't have to be gentle! Right Lynae?" Vidalia says tilting her head to the side slightly.

Sona doesn't break stride at her teammate's words. She clicks her tongue as she passes them. "These are criminals, why would they play fair?!" she says through gritted teeth. Sona runs past her team, dodging a few loose crates and boxes on the approach to the crate half wall. She leans into the final steps and jumps up enough to get her left boot onto the wall.

Kicking off from there, she does a front flip in mid air, her skirt fluttering wildly, right at the scrawny man. She rotates the grip on her Chakram, so that she holds the top of the ring, rather than the bottom as one would. The ring now extends along her inner arm, rather than outward per normal. In what can only be described as a pounce, she hits the bandit square in the chest. Her hands slam down to the man's shoulder blades, and with her grip changed she forces over an inch of steel blade into them.

Collapsing down on the man, he falls back onto his back, Sona perched on him as if she were a jaguar faunus, rather than a mere cat. Sona glares at him, disdain painted on her features.



A loud thump is heard as Sona runs towards the bandit. It sounds akin to heavy boots on stone.

The scrawny man shouts in pain as Sona's blades pierce his arms, and again as he lands hard on his back. His body trying to flail in pain under Sona's weight, he also claws at his side for a combat knife. Flipping the strap off the hilt, he wrenches it out and swings in the direction of Sona's neck. The swipe cuts into her aura, and she is forced to step back lest she take more damage. However her Chakrams were still in her grip and repelling her also forces her to pull them out of the bandit. He yowls again, blood staining his clothes.

It took some real effort at this stage for Patchouli not to put her face in her hand and sigh deeply, but she managed it. She stepped clear of the doorway and looked at the others with a look that said "after you." In one hand she clutched one of her paralyzing needles, though whether she would have to use them on friend or foe she was not yet certain.

Lynae's eyes widened as she saw the wounds that Sona had inflicted on the man, but reverted back to normal when she walked over.  The girl looked down to the poacher, bent over and punched him in the face. Lynae glanced down at the man, then up to Sona. She peered at Patchy with a light smile on her face, though her eyes drifted to the needle in her hand.

Lynae stood up straight and walked past her teammates calmly, making her way toward the area of the larger man, ready to blast him with aura bubbles.

Lynae's punch knocks the bandits head back into the ground, and it lolls to the side. He stops moving, and is clearly unconscious. Now around the side of the crate, with the distraction dealt with, both Sona and Lynae can see there's a trapdoor with a ladder leading down to their right. They can hear pounding footsteps from the corridor below, and more than just one person make them.

"Hey, that one wants to play hunter!" Vidalia shouts unsheathing her sword and then chasing after the man. "Come back!"

Vidalia didn't even bother to check if Lynae was even okay with her running off, she just left. She followed the man into the trapdoor that was to the teams right. That had to be the dumbest thing she has ever done, but its okay to make mistakes, her therapist was going to have a heart attack after hearing what she did. Her hand threw open the trap door and she jumped down. Vidalia failed to realize that she was outnumbered.

"Crap," She says to herself."Well, this isn't the bathroom!" Vidalia smiles and bats her eyes then giggled cutely.

"This one's all yours Patchouli!" Sona shouts. She rolls to her right, over and into the trapdoor. She lands next to Vidalia, bumping into her slightly as Sona barely manages to not land on the other girl. She takes a few steps forward, getting her footing back and clearing the chute for another combatant.



Seven men already occupy the tunnel. The tunnel underneath the trapdoor is only ten feet or so wide; two people can stand next to each other comfortably but no more than that. Five of the men are already running down the tunnel, which continues straight as far as either Sona or Vidalia can see. They turn their heads back at Vidalia's call, but don't stop. If anything, they run faster.

The remaining two, one of which is the average looking man before, stand two wide, blocking the path. His compatriot, a surly looking fellow with a long face and spikey hair wields a pair of daggers while the average joe holds a scimitar. At first glance, none of their weapons seems to have any unique characters.

The average man charges forward, letting out a guttural shout. Vidalia is the member of VLPS across from him, and he swings overhand, slashing across Vidalia's torso, her aura taking the damage. He follows that with a horizontal swing.

At the same time, the surly bandit goes after Sona. Approaching like he'll make a high swing, he instead ducks and swings horizontally across her hips, once with each blade. Now crouched and facing right, he swings upward with his left dagger, a piercing strike against Sona's chest. She's forced to step back in line with Vidalia to avoid more strikes.

Didn't they talk about this earlier? Or did Sona forget that they were a team? Nobody was going to guard the unconscious while there were still enemies about.

You know as well as I do that we can't split up now... Patchouli thought while she reached out and grabbed Lynae's wrist. A flash of blue pulsed over her body and an instant later, Patchouli was jumping gaily down the ladder to support her teammates in trouble, a fistful of needles ready to claw away at her enemies. "ARI ARI ARI!" She landed. "You were warned, now get ready for punishment!" Patchouli even went so far as to do a little pose at the bottom, taunting the bandits with her smirk and outstretched arm.

Lynae smirked as she recognised her own battlecry, though was surprised when she heard it come from the person who'd be least likely to imitat- "Oh, so that is how it works."

Lynae stayed out of the fight going on, much to her distaste. She'd rather stay out of the fight than combat bandits in a dark tunnel that, from what she saw already, is already cramped.

Vidalia stumbled feeling her Aura take damage so suddenly. She lifted up her sword in a vertical position to block the next slash with a smile on her face. Vidalia pushed forward to get out of the tight spot. She wasn't very strong but she was determined to harm the man attacking her. After she was able to better assess the situation Vidalia took it upon herself to swing at the man with the scabbard first then with Lunarbreaker following at his midsection. She is allowed to kill this man, but she wants to entertain herself just a bit.

"It's not nice to hit a lady,"Vidalia giggled.

"Lay... Off!" Sona shouts. She steps forward, regaining ground she lost in the surly man's assault. She thrusts her right arm forward, her Chakram parallel to her body. When the ring circles the man's dagger, still held over his head from the crouching thrust, she spins the Chakram around her hand. It catches his dagger and pulls it from his grasp, clattering to the floor at his feet.

Sona takes advantage of his surprise and lower position to jump up and slam her booted heel into the side of the man's head. Against her weight he's head is slammed into the ground. Unable to keep her balance on a man's head, Sona rolls forward. She spins on a heel, ready for a counter attack.



The five men who chose not to combat the girls continue to run down the corridor, now mostly out of sight.

Vidalia nails her opponent across the chin with her scabbard. He yelps and move with the hit, spinning to his right and stepping back. The cowardly motion is to his advantage however, as he narrowly dodges the deadly blade swinging at his stomach. He takes another few steps back, and raises his sword in a defensive position.

The surly man yells out a choice expletive as his head hits the rock tunnel. Head spinning, he snarls and grabs Sona's leg, yanking her down to the floor as well. He lunges forward, coming to his hands and knees over Sona. Daggers forgotten in his crawl forward with a still disorientated mind, he leans back onto his knees to free his arms so he can punch the huntress in training across the face. One right and one left, and Sona's aura shatters. The bandit sneers, and throws a second right with the intention of finishing the girl off.
