Slave liberation (Akryn and Devon)

Akryn smirked as he heard Devon call out to him, trying to taunt him. He had to admit to himself, he had acted to soon when saying he would take oer earlier, and had to step back for the others to work. He needed to watch them, not interfere. But even as he thought this to himself, something troubling caught his eye. A very, very, large group of opponents rushing down towards down the docks, towards the ship. The ship was already sporting more than a dozen combatants, and nearly two dozen more were on their way, quickly. Under normal circumstances, Akryn would have been unconcerned. But he still did not know what Devon was capable of fully, and Xierak was obviously slowed in combat at the moment. With neither of them at peak efficiency, in his mind at least, Akryn was not about to let them be over whelmed by numbers like that.

In an instant, Akryn was in between the ship, and the approaching mob, Black star Cutter in his hand, as he casually leaned against a post, smirking at the approaching men. As they drew nearer. he pushed off of the post and sighed to himself. "You guys might wanna fall back." Akryn said, as he removed his glasses and put them on the post, a grin starting to split his face. "Really. Its in your best interests."

Devon smiled softly as she looked around the dock and sore the oncoming assolt and again tock to the air when she heard Akryn tell then to full back she looked down seeing why she would need to full back. Devon let a gasp slip through her lips as she watched Akryn split his face the sight was a strange one and she shot back to behind Akryn wondering what Xierak would follow what Akryn asked him to do.

Devon turned to watch Akryns back and sore even more people come into view Devon flew down only pulling up just as she got close missing the slavers heads by inches. Devon lopped around and came back towards the slavers "water dragon rear!" she called letting a wheal wind of water erupted from her mouth hitting the men it did not coarse much damage but it pushed them back.

Devon landed on her feet and smiled softly at the slavers she had no weapon but she was surrounded by water and this is when she felt strongest. Devon just waited to see what the men would do it was interesting the amount they where all against was amazing and existing.

(OOC Note, fusing two normals and one strong to form the boss die, 2 Normals = 1 strong, 2 strongs = boss, as we have met the five roll prereq already, also yes i did take some PvE creative liberty with shatter)

Xierak watched as Devon suddenly took off and flew down to the dock next to the ship he tilted his head in confusion but let it be, he had his hands full. Xierak turned to face his adversaries that he now had to deal with alone. That’s when he had a rather brilliant idea,
Xierak pointed at the ship with his left hand and focused his entire attention on the entire ship. He then started to lift his left hand, as he did the entire ship started to shake, “What is going on??” Two people came onto the deck as the ship started to float above the water, Xierak then formed his left hand into a fist, “Graviton” A woman wearing a fancy hat looked at Xierak with her eyes wide, “Don’t just stand there get him!” Xierak however continued focusing, “2G” As the men ran at him he finished the incantation, “SHATTER!” shunting more power into this spell than normal the entire ship started to creak and groan as the shaking intensified causing all on board to fall over.

Suddenly a giant crack formed in the hull as numerous shards of wood flew outward, the ship continued to break apart making the captain and crew fall down into the water, Xierak however, hovered in the air admist all of the debris.  Xierak then hovered there for a moment as all the wooden shards hovered around him, he was out of breath, he had never pulled something apart with his magic that was that big before, but considering that the slavers only means of escape was handled he was happy.

Predictably, none of the approaching slaver mob obeyed Akryn, instead several of the recruits raised their weapons and charged. Akryn met the first one by lifting his blade up to stop the mans chop, before snapping a kick into the mans groin, whipping a dagger from his back into the chest of the next man in line, before driving the palm of his free hand into the throat of the first man, sending him stumbling away, gasping for air. As the man stumbled back, Akryn disengaged from his blade and spun in a full circle, stabbing out with his sword to intercept a stab, deftly spin his wrist and deflect the blade before shooting out one foot, planting it behind the other mans foot, and then driving his fist into the mans nose, sending him toppling backwards. Akryn then stepped forward, across the man, putting his weight on the foot he had planted to go over the man, stabbing another in the chest as he approached, before tearing his sword free and spinning to kick the downed man in the face, before turning back, just in time to catch another downward chopping arm at the wrist, before bringing his sword down and severing the arm, letting go of the severed limb as the man stumbled back, screaming and clutching his former appendage, before Akryn would whip another dagger from his back, into the chest of yet another man.

Devon smiled at the men in front of her and shock her head she lifted her hands into a fighting position and bobbed on her feet. Devon was ready to fight hand to hand she had to she had nothing else available. As the men ran for her some with swords Devon ran forward and at the last moment she throw herself backward sliding under the men's legs. once she was the other side Devon jumped back up and faced the back of the men before they new what had happened Devon went for one of the men with a weapon that could kill her wrapping her arm an=round his neck Devon yanked him backwards away from the others using the man to keep the others away Devon chocked him until he was un-contuse. Taking the sword from the man Devon looked at weapon and sighed softly "if i have to i will use this!" she stated spinning the sword getting the feeling of it she then got ready for the next attack that would be coming her way.

Devon did not have to wait for long until they made there next move one of the men can running at her his sword risen as the man swept the sword down Devon brought her sword up meeting the mans and with great force she kicked him squear in the chest sending him back.

Xierak examined the situation below him in mild amusement, below in the water lay over half of the crew, swimming about, including the first mate and the Captain. Devon and Akryn both were fighting a massive group on the docks. Xierak smiled under his hood, he had a prime situation around him, a lot of enemies and whole bunch of materials to use for his own assault. He then pointed at a section of what used to be the ships mast. He then swung his arm downward towards the group Devon and Akryn were fighting, “Akryn and Devon Heads Up!” He then sent a portion of his magical power through his hand, “Graviton Smash!” The mast then launched itself towards the group hiting a good portion of the group and knocking them into the bay.

Xierak then nodded and turned his attention to those in the waters beneath him, he heightened his concentration and then casted a series of spells. He used Graviton H smash to send a large piece of the ships hull crashing down into the water, hitting a number of people in its wake, he then followed that up by using Graviton Tri Smash to send three beds down onto the captain and what appeared to be her first mate. He then focused on the remaining materials as he faintly heard the captain barking orders to someone. “Graviton Storm!” As all the shards started being manipulated something dashed passed him with something sharp that cut into his robes and the surface of his thick hide.

Xierak seemed to be in the full swing of things now, and Devon seemed to be getting her motivations for the fight rolling. Good, Akryn thought to himself as he drove his forearm into another mans forehead. Things were getting nasty, and they would need to be at their best for this go round. As Devon fought her group, a familiar, white haired figure would dance in next to her, kicking one man in the jaw, and smashing another mans nose with the hilt of his sword. "Go help Xierak! I can handle this lot with ease, but he is not at full power right now."Akryn said as he suddenly caught one mans sword with his bare hand, squeezeing the blade with jjust his finger tips hard enough to stop it cold, before kicking the mans elbow with enough force to snap it, now leaveing Akryn with two swords as the man stumbled away, screaming in pain. "Oh and, for what its worth, you did well on the combat portion of your test. Your command and planning skils need work though." He said with a wink before turning to bat away another sword. "Now go. Xierak needs you and I cant go full out with you so close."

Devon laughed softly looking at Akryn shaking her head and pointed up as Xierak called out to them and ran forward sliding next to Akryn "I think I will go diving be back soon!" she stated she extended her wings and flew into the air she searched for a moment the smirked at the capturn and the first mate swimming slowly towards the shore and Devon thought for a moment before a plain cam to her.

Diving head first for the water Devon swam quickly to the capturn grabbing her foot Devon pulled her back and dived under taking the capturn with her Devon made shore the caturn could not have her face a both the water line and she Devon was also out of the capturns reach. Devon stayed under water for a while waiting for the capture to full uncontuse this also helped Devon hear most of the wounds she had gained from the fight. Devon looked up at the capturn and shot upwards as the the capturn fell uncontuse Devon flew to the land and tied the capturn up looking at Akryn and Xierak and smiled wide "One down and one to go!" she called feeling quite please with herself

Xierak growled as he looked up as all the shards from the boat remains rained down on the crew dealing massive damage to all of them and saw a man hanging in the air above him, a cleaving dagger in hand. Xierak let out a growl as he saw him, he then heard Devon say one down and guessed she meant she handled the Captain. The man above him then called out, “Flying high Speed!” The man then seemingly disappeared as he flew around, at an incredible rate of speed. Xierak then felt himself get hit multiple times by this adversary, yet he couldn’t see his opponent due to the speed he was going at. After a solid minute of him enduring these hits he got a fix on the man’s attack pattern, Xierak then closed his eyes and waited, listening for the moment the man would make his next pass.

That’s when he heard the rustling of the man’s clothing getting closer, he then extended hist left arm. He then got hit by the man fully, this caused him to stop suddenly and Xierak to enter into a counterclockwise spin. As he spun Xierak angled his body and went to kick the man full force. Carver looked over his shoulder at the last second as the lumbering mage’s leg impacted his rear end rocketing him skyward. Xierak then stopped spinning and then chased after carver. After a moment He reached the rocketing mage and then flipped over midair delivering a powerful axe kick to Carvers head knocking him unconscious and sending him barreling back down towards the water, where he eventually impacted with a giant splash. “That’s two…”

Akryn watched his two allies finish off the commanders with relative ease, and he smirked a bit as he leaned back on a sword, currently stuck in the ground, nearly forty men laid out around him, either dead, unconscious, or wishing they were one of the other two options. Devon had her quirks, and he had to admit, he could see her clashing, personality wise, with most of the rest of the current team. He was not yet ready to fully commit to her being a member of the team, but there was no harm in giving her a trial run. Though, definitely not in charge, he thought to himself with a smirk. That smirk would vanish however as he suddenly leaned left, a dagger zipping past his head, which he caught with ease. His eyes widened though as he noticed a black, circular, scorpion mark on the dagger before barking out an order.

"XIERAK! DEVON! BACK TO THE JOB BOSS, NOW!" He said as he would turn to look at the man approaching him, a tall, dark cloaked man wielding daggers now. Scorpion Tail. The guild had never before made such a direct move against him, or his guild. Likely they had put their sticky little claws into this pie as well, and were attempting to protect it. But they should have sent someone a lot more powerful. This one would not escape, would not be killed. This one would talk......

Devon smiled softly leaning down towards the boss shrugging softly "it seems like you have lost so I would stay still of i will ask one of y friends to deal with you and they are not scared of killing someone for the many reasons you have given the Cancel and use!" she stated in a whisper. When Akryn Screamed at herself and Xierak she shot her head around and then looked back at the boss slightly confused to being told to go back to her when She never left "How the hell can I do what he asks when he can see I never moved?" she muttered to herself not caring if he heard she may not be leader mertirial at that moment in time but the one thing she did know is that the leader always knew where the team was. Devon shock her head looking for Xierak wondering if he would Liston to the command.

Devon was half expecting Xierak to just do what he wanted and that was in her oppiniune is to heart as many people as possible if they stood in his way he would cut him down. Devon thought for a moment wondering if she would fit within the team wondering if she did get in would she balance the team without to many problems. Devon smiled softly and giggled to herself if someone as small as herself could course problems in the team then she was stronger than she though or at least more stubborn

Xierak’s attention was suddenly turned to the docks when Akryn called out about a new adversary arriving into the area. He heard Akryns command and let out a growl, however instead of going to the unconscious boss, he made the unconscious body come to him. He manipulated the gravity around Carver and lifted him right next to him. His attention then turned the new intruder and growled, he then focused on the numerous pieces of debris from the ship he had torn apart and manipulated them to surround the new enemy from a distance, sharp points of steel, wood, and glass pointing directly at the man.

“Here me now human, leave now or be crippled for the rest of your miserable life…” Xierak was ready to make due on his threat, he didn’t care what his story was, the markings of scorpion tail were present, and he wasn’t going to let him lay another finger on Akryn. He then manipulated three large pieces of the hull to be near each of the members of team rampage, “I May be short one arm, but my magic gives me enough options to help and protect my friends!” Xierak hovered there, unsure entirely what was going to happen, but he knew this, he had both Devon and Akryn covered and a well-established threat to drive his point home, I hate being like this… unfit for the front lines… it irks me but Akryn will feed me pickled pig if I don’t hang back… and I hate pickled pig…

Akryn was proud of Xieraks reaction, it boded well for the mans growth with others. Still, Akryn had given him an order. "Xierak, go gather up Devon and the bosses. This one isn't here to fight. If he was, he would have struck by now." Akryn said,m frowning at the man, who bowed slightly to both of them. "You are correct, I am not here to fight, merely to pass a message, from our guild master, to yours. An invitation to a meeting, perhaps one of truce. Something is coming for Fiore, something that will affect all. The arena, in three days. Our master shall be waiting your representative." The man said with another bow, before backing away and disappearing into the shadows.

Akryn frowned, staring at the shadows, before turning and marching towards where Devon was, passing Xierak and gently punching the large, green man on the arm. "I gave you an order, Lizard man. I expect my orders to be respected and obeyed." He said before walking by and then stopping. "Oh....but I promise, I wont ever abuse that authority." He said, looking over his shoulder to grin at the man, before heading towards where Devon was. "Good work Buggy." he said with a wink. "Though, like with Xierak, we might need to work on your order taking, and maybe tactics as well. But that's stuff that can be learned. Come on. Lets go get paid."

Devon shock her head her eyes drifted to Akryn looking him up and down his words annoyed her and she walked over to him "maybe if you gave people some more respect then they would follow you with more willingness, you have just shouted at Xierak for no reason maybe next time wait until we are back at the guild and not in the middle of a fishing town and make the whole guild look like fools!" Devon said with sharpness she did not wish to be spoken to that way and hatted others being spoken to like that to like that as well she could see they would clash in personality but maybe just maybe if they worked together their magic could compliment each other.

Grabbing the Scarlet and flinging her over her shoulder Devon gowned softly this person weighed a tone but she would grin and bear it as Xierak was still quit wounded from his last battle, Devon wished he would let her heal him she felt useless when it came to him she wished to help but he would never allow it. she also doughted Akryn could carry both at the same time.

Xierak seeing the situation diffused with the leaving of the Scorpion Tail mage nodded and manipulated the gravity of all of the debris into a single large pile and dropped it on an empty portion of the dock. Xierak then landed a few feet from Akryn with Carver still hover right next to him unconscious, when he heard Akryns comment he growled, and walked up to him trying to give him a “gentle” slap to the back of Akryns head, “One, How many times have I told you I am not one of those, and to never call me that. Two, We heeded your orders in our own way, Devon had Scarlet next to her the entire time and I got Carver levitating next to me, so that was done, we just did it in our own way that was what we deemed a better method, I had the ability to do something additional so I did…” Xierak then went quiet and manipulated the gravity around Scarlet to make her weightless for Devon, “Yes you can give us orders, but keep in mind, we should have every right to take it into consideration… and if we see a better way, we should act upon it without being scolded….” Xierak then nodded and rolled his shoulders a bit stretching his muscles, and then sighed, I hope my arm naturally heals soon… I hate being a limb short… Xierak than walked over to the edge of the dock and sat down his gargantuan feet managing to rest in the water from his height,

Akryn frowned at Devon, but smirked at Xierak. "I want Scorpion Tail to be my problem, not yours. I have had a run in with them three times. Two of those times, they nearly killed me, the third time I still nearly died from a mage unaffiliated with them. And that's not even counting the first time I met them when they destroyed my home, slaughtered my family, and left an infant me stuck up on a mountain alone. I know, probably better than anyone, how dangerous they are, individually or as a group. I ordered both of you away because Xierak is injured, and DDevon used quite a bit of magic in the encounter. I had a relatively easy time, and used almost no magic. I was fresh against a possibly deadly opponent." Akryn said as he walked over to Devon and reached out, grabbing her prisoner with one hand and easily picking the person off of her shoulder and dropping the person on his shoulder, before heading over to Xierak and extending his free hand for the other prisoner. "I admit, I am not the most.....warm of commanders, but I can promise you, if I order you somewhere or to do something, its for a very good reason. I do not waste my friends lives, or my own, without a completely good reason, like saving even more lives." Akryn said, before fixing Devon with a cool glare. "You seemed to command Xierak into a dangerous situation without any indication of what you were thinking, or a seemingly good, discernible reason. I will assume control against any such command style." he said cooly, before shrugging Scarlet more firmly onto his shoulder. "Now come on you three, lets go get paid, and fed."

Devon shock her head the way she was treated by this group she was uncerturn on weather or not she even wanted to stay and this made her head race. When the person was taken from her Devon's face turned red "I am able to do that thanks!" she stated it was like her strength was in question and unlike most she was stronger than she looked and only wished to be stronger.

Devon bit her lip in frustration she was not going to be someone to coarse arguments but she very much wanted to hit Akryn.

Devon shock her head and started to walk to there destination of payment her mind never stopped thinking and she wondered weather she was the only one thinking she may not be souted for this team.

Ariving at the place of finish Devon palsied making shore they where all together she would hate to lose them know so close to payment "after you leader!" she said with a small smile on her lips she wanted food drink and sleep and maybe after all that her mind may be clear on what to do about everything.

Once being paided Devon walked off she was determined to get back to the guild before dark and it was a long walk so the sooner she set off and the faster she walked the sooner she would be in her own bed and some food that she knew she liked.

Xierak stood there and watched the entire conversation happen infront of him, and he sighed in response. He moved Carver away from Akryns hand and then glared in response, “First off Akryn, Devon had never ordered anyone around, I acted under my own accord, and again, Yes you can give us orders, but keep in mind, we should have every right to take it into consideration… and if we see a better way, we should act upon it without being scolded…. We have minds of our own and there is a possiblitity we can think of a better solution… Yes we are a team, and yes you are the head of said team, but keep in mind, not even you can cover everything at once, if you only scold us for not doing what you said and falsely accuse a member of doing something they didn’t do, there is no teamwork being built, only division… And that is one thing we should not ever have…” Xierak then stood up and shook the water off his feet, and then walked over to Devon and patted her on the head with his left hand a few times and nodded at her.

Xierak then walked into the streets contemplating, After all… if a situation does arise where one of us lose control of ourselves completely… what else can be done…? Some things no single minded plan can be enough to cover… sometimes a evolving plan… from multiple people is needed against a obstacle too strong for one person to face…
