Jailbreak! (Bans intro to the site)

(A note from the author. This will be an attempt by Ban to break out of the rune knights prison. Anyone may join in, be it legal mages seeking to aid the knights, knights seeking to keep the psycho locked up, or dark mages seeking to aid his escape. Wether he escapes and is loose in the world is completely up to how things roll!!! Letsa go!)

Ban stood silently in his cell, staring at the door with a rather bored expression. Once a feared and very wanted criminal, he was currently chained to the wall with his wrists and ankles firmly against the stone, straps running over his chest and thighs, and a bar in his mouth, all in an attempt to keep him locked away. Multiple execution attempts had failed on this psychopath, and so the only current option left were these excessive bonds. Bonds that would not hold him, he thought to himself with a bit of a grin, albeit a broken grin thanks to the bar. With a sudden flexing of his muscles the restraints attached to the wall would begin to groan and creak before he would then relax, letting them settle, before repeating the process again and again and again. For six days he had been doing this with tireless patience, slowly working the restraints loose as best he could, producing an irritating grating noise each time he did.

The guard at the end of the hall meanwhile was generating his own grinding noise as he grit his teeth at the irritating sound coming from Bans prison cell yet again. Finally having had enough the knight slammed his pen down and grabbed his spear, tearing away from his desk to rush to Bans cell door, looking through the barred window on the door to snarl at the prisoner. "SHUT IT DOWN! You hear me? I already have to be down here with you sociopaths, the least you could do is grant me some silence!"

Ban froze as the knight spoke, his red eyes staring at the man unblinkingly before giving another of those broken grins and with one final heave of his muscles suddenly seemed to explode off of the wall, brick and mortar raining down to the floor as Ban freed himself and dropped to his knees, letting the now free bar drop from his mouth with a clang. He sat there for a moment, regaining his breath and composure, with the knight at the door looking on horrified at the implications for this event.

Finally Ban would raise his head to look at the knight at the door with a wicked grin, his red eyes seeming to shimmer in the darkness of the cell. "Oh, I'm sorry....silence? Why yes, I can grant you that." He said before suddenly bolting for the door.


**************************

The relative silence at the prison would quite suddenly be interrupted by a sudden wailing alarm going off through out the complex, a sound that had not been heard in a long time. A prisoner had just broken free from his cell and was currently on the loose. Prisoners who heard the noise would go into an uproar, banging on cell doors and walls with what ever they could get their hands on, while at the same time the prison guards would rush into action, quickly identifying where the breakout had occurred and dispatching men there to put the prisoner down. Men that would quickly go silent on the communication lacrima, prompting the guards to send out a call to the rune knights for assistance.

Sasha did not have to wait long as the door on the other side of the room would suddenly be smashed to pieces as a knight was thrown through it to collapse onto the floor, a dagger in his back. Shortly after him came the escaped prisoner, a tall, surprisingly handsome man with silver hair. He had no shirt at the moment but what he did have was a crossbow bolt sticking through his torso and a spear currently driven through his chest, being pushed on by another knight who was forcing Ban back into the room. That is, until Ban would bring an open palmed strike across the spear shaft, snapping it just short of his abdomen. To the knights credit, that did not stop him as he twirled the shaft around and swung it hard at Bans head like a club.

Ban would be sent spinning, but as he span he also reached up and tore the spear head free from his belly, so that when he spun back around he was armed. He spun right back around just in time to get another clubbing blow to the face however, producing a sickening crack from his nose. However at the same time, his hand with the spear head shoved out and drove the point into the mans arm pit, digging deep into his chest. Ban stumbled back as the knight stumbled away, holding his side. But Ban recovered first, and as the knight looked back up he would receive and open palm slamming into his forehead with enough force to send him flying back into the stone wall behind him, where he would then collapse to the floor.

Ban would then turn towards Sasha, a large grin plastered to his face. "Hi, names Ban, resident explosive sociopath with a to do list. Current goal, leave. Now if you would be SO kind as to move out of the way, I will. Because lets face it, Prison is sooooo boring. And you are far to cute to burn. Those tits yours or are they fake?"

Ban sighed, a bored expression taking over his face, as he experienced the new comers arrogance and shot a hand out to catch the incoming scythe, two of the blades smashing through either side of his hand and the bar holding them catching on the rest of his hand and arm, stopping it cold. As Nagatos foot swung in for a sweep he would counter by simply raising his foot up at an angle, the heel planted but the toes raised so that the sweeping foot would catch on his foot. And stop. "The only good a sweep does is if it catches an opponent off guard and swipes the foot from the ground. A planted foot, that is prepared for the attack, can hold off against a sweep with ease. As for your scythe, its pretty but I much prefer an axe. Those gaps in the blades make it weak to someone like me. Someone......not all here shall we say?" Ban said as a psychotic grin crept onto his face and his eyes began to sparkle a bit with bloodlust. He would suddenly yank his hand free from the scythe and leap back, pointing two fingers from his still good hand at his two opponents and unleashing a thin stream of flame at them. The fire was mostly weak, but would hurt a bit, but far more importantly it would catch almost anything around them on fire, furniture, clothes, books, any and everything the stream hit that could catch, did. At the same time his right hand would burst into flames as well, the flames shaping into a snarling lions head, and a massive magic circle forming under his feet as well, a powerful summoning magic aura forming in the room. "I don't want to fight you two at all Miss. You and your cocky little friend are more than welcome to get out of my way. Or I can just go around or through you. Simple as that." He said, the look of mania and wickedness becoming more and more noticeable as he went.

The steps of a young child ran by the prison. She was not here for any perticular reason - none, in fact. She was running around, and just so happened to be here. However soon her playful actions would be interrupted by the faint sound of a siren wailing in the distance, and so, with curiosity, the young girl began to speed her way down towards the prison, making it there. Upon entry, she was greeted by two guards. Then a conversation initiated between the three.

"Uhm I'm sorry little girl, you can't enter here."

"Why? Can't I visit?"

"No you can't, there is a prison break going on right no-"

"SHUT UP. YOU CAN'T TELL A CIVILIAN ABOUT THAT! Now little girl, I just want you to find your mommy and to go home, alright? You can come visit tommorow."

The young girl, Ivy, cracked a smile to the man, and tightened the grip on her blade, one that was concealed for the time until now. "No, I wanna visit now!" She giggled, and swiftly swung the blade, cutting both of the guards' throats, and with that Ivy entered inside.

The visiting area began to feel moreso holy, as the radiance began to leak from Ivy onto the world around her, seeping through the demonic aura like a light in the darkness. Hearing the man's swearing, she quickly tugged the man's shirt, having approached him. "You shouldn't curse like that, you know. Bad words don't do any good, that's why they're called 'bad words.'" With that, she approached the man, her white aura making her seem like a guardian angel, except this one wasn't planning on killing the evil man. Looking up to the man, Ban, Ivy spoke with a cheerful, childish tone. "I can get you out of here! Easy peasy!"

Ban focused on Pein, a small, wicked laugh forming in his throat as four demons rose from the floor, one of them seeming to be nothing but a pile of mud, another seeming to be a clay soldier, a third seemingly made of weak flames, and the fourth in the shape of a nasty, muscular turtle. As Ban prepared to send his minions against Pein however something caught his eye. A little girl, a very familiar scent on her, walking towards him as if he was nothing. For a moment Ban was confused, especially as the little girl offered to help him escape. Ban tilted his head at her, seeming to ignore Pein for a bit, as his curiousity took hold. "Oh? You can?" he asked, suddenly dropping to the floor to sit cross legged, bringing his head down to her level so to speak with her eye to eye. "That's a bold claim. I smell a monster on you, meaning you spend a lot of time around it. But you feel strong yourself? Who are you?"

Auorra walked in a dark cloak that his her face. The dark mage looked out at Ban. She had chosen to help Ban escape alive so he may be use to the Savage Skull. The dark haired woman frowned a bit.

She backed against the walk for her safety. She was a beautiful young woman but she had intelligence thank goodness.

The young girl watched as the man sped forward, behind Ban himself and began to release some electrical charge. Funny, thought Ivy, as he would try such a thing. The holy bracelets, not used to recieving unholy damage, caused the damage to be a bit higher on her body, although the bracelets themselves still mitigated the damage. The girl however felt very little pain to her body, only a light stinging as her blood masked her pain sensors, and she only felt the very minimal amount of pain from just about anything, and most times she didn't feel any pain at all. "Come on, you have got to do better than that! I'm assisting a criminal, do better to try to detain me!" the young girl smiled, then her body began to glow black and red, and her eyes turned a golden color. In her perception the world around her began to shatter, as her fear zone was replacing her perception of the new world, although she still knew who was who in the real world, as she could still see them. "If you don't try harder to detain me, you'll fail and end up bloodier than a squirrel who's been run over by a car~!" she said, her voice sounding now more divine, like a young goddess. She was going to make this man suffer, as no one deserved to be locked up, not even those who commit crimes.

Ivy, now with the sparkly red and black aura on her lowered her hands, and touched the ground. At the same time however, a wind barrier began manifesting itself around her, so that way no one would attack her whilst summoning her malevolent phantom. The beast jumped out from the ground, which now glowed a bright gold light, and began floating up to Nagato. The beast would soon fly towards him at top speeds,  (basically full sprint) and send three slashes to him, once to his face, his chest, and to his abdomen. While doing so Ivy just stood there, her sword in hand as the phantom began to fight with the rune knight, looking back at the man Ban, wherever he be at the moment. "I know for a fact I'm stronger than you..." she said happily, her god-like voice filling the air with a soothing feel, even though a battle just erected.

Auorra looked at Ivy like she couldn't get Ivy's madness. Yes that's the perfect word for it Auorra thought as she chuckled a bit. But it really shouldn't be a surprise to the Le Fay heir as most dark mages excluding her was a bit mad.

But Auorra readied her dark magic just in case they had to fight their way out. Auorra was readied for whatever ending. She considered Ivy an ally. The Savage Skull mage looked at what was happening with a graceful smirk. She continued watching the little fight.

Zecarayus wandered through the capital of fiore. He himself had never been here, and as was suggested since he was in fairy tail, should explore it. It took him awhile to get use the rune knights as one of them nearly arrested him for suspicion of being a dark mage until he showed his guild mark and confirmation from other rune knights who were with him. So zecarayus was now hiding his magic, but besides that his visit at the capital seemed rather pleasant.

Then he passed by the jail in which he would have passed by if not for the dead bodies at the entrance and the noise that could be heard coming from it. This caused zecarayus to peek inside through the door and noticed all the dead rune knights inside too. By the maker? he thought to himself, then noticed the auras, the magic. He closed the door back before anyone noticed and tried to make sense of what he was feeling, these auras, it was demonic but also holy? As if a templar or a priest was in the room? He shook his head and sat on the sidewalk next to the jail trying to make heads and tails of what demonic power was being held in their and if the templars really were in there too.

Of course, he would have been unnoticed to anyone who walked by, and he actually watched a lady walk into the prison confident. This brought surprise to zecarayus, however it was clear this was not some kind of riot, but something planned. Zecarayus, after the lady passed, summoned all his courage and approached the door again. However he thought better of going in alone and so he used his magic to reanimate the two fallen guards, which he avoided to look at since, while he could handle skeletons, he could not handle the reanimated dead, though thank the maker only their throats were slit.

Zecarayus opened the door and was overwhelmed by the magical energies he was feeling and by the sight. Here was two wicked men fighting and a girl wrapped up in a cyclone and a woman on the side, with as many abominations of hell as they were the dead. At the moment of opening the door he spotted the woman, the one who entered earlier first, and saw the savage skull mark on her cheek. By the maker! He thought to himself as he remembered the mark from his experience in the spooky forest with the guild which meant...

After this thought zecarayus cast spirit bolt right at the woman, and came to the conclusion that everyone here was an enemy. So it was time to disrupt this then. Right after the first cast the two zombie rune knights moved in front of zecarayus to act as meat shields, then he tried a new spell, and cast walking bomb on the most evil looking of the men(which was ban). At this point it would have been very clear to the trio fighting that a new person had entered the fray. However zecarayus had inadvertently caused attention brought to the jail as raising two dead rune knights would. Soon word would reach other rune knights in the area that something was terribly wrong at the jail.

passives that are in effect:

Cooldown on spirit bolt: 2
Cooldown on walking bomb: 3
Hp:200

He could have just waited for us but now that the attention is focused on him it would be hard to get him out with some of the rune knights present.

HE along with a few others like Ivy Kissos and Auorra, agreed to aid in Ban’s prison break. The original plan was that a few of the Mages involved will enter the detention cell from different locations, creating a distraction long enough for Ban to leave the place quietly. Unfortunately either Ban's patience had expired, they arrived a bit late or that it just so happened by chance? He broken out before the plan even started and soon enough Ban was engaged by few of the rune knights and legal mages who so happened to be present.

---

Regardless HE only played a supportive role and before Auorra had entered the detention cell along with Kissos and some others, he told the woman beforehand that he prepared a vessel is ready for them hidden from plain sight which was all he can do to contribute for all them.

In accord to his Demi-human essence, he has a strong smell for entities that are demons or individuals who are associated with its power. If one were to ask, it would be similar to that of a written signature, and only by that right he was able to see a few powers awakened and the possible events unfolding in the detention cell right now.

HE didn’t like the idea of having to aid them in prison break but this was under Auorra’s request, since he is the only dark mage known to have a legal foothold in Era. Many questioned why someone like him was planted so closely to the Headquarters of the Rune Knights, a question that will be answered at another time.  

It was a shame really, he finally agreed to actually help them break Ban out and make a fuss, long enough for him to escape and since the plan has changed, there was no need for him to interfere anymore. Pursuit of criminals is one of the specialties of the “Enforcers” in the Rune Knight’s ranks but if things go down the wrong way...

….. He’ll have to interfere and risk losing the foothold that took him months to claim and  maybe the time for the self proclaimed Dullahan to come...

As he set foot to leave, the scent of Death halted him dead in his tracks, he turned back to the sight of the detention center and put up his scope that ranges to 380 meters, the perfect distance where he can watch the battle closely tracking where it was coming from, first to Sasha and finally recognized the source of the energy, approximately 10 meters away from Sasha.
