Wedding Crashers | Job | Rei Katsura |

The suit was uncomfortable, and awkward to wear for Neyvahn. He had no problem with the formal wear, but with what he was wearing underneath, it was hard to really make it comfortable. Never mind that though, it was bearable for him. After an extensive preparation for the wedding, including general hygiene and some extra fancy styling, Neyvahn slipped on a pair of leather dress gloves, took a look at himself in the mirror, and grabbed his duffel bag. He was ready to go. He just hoped that it was the same for Rei Katsura. Neyvahn let loose a chuckle. That girl really was a strange one, and after visiting her in the hospital, things felt a little different... not to say in a bad way.

Neyvahn shook his head. He was going into a job, he'd have time to think about it later. He opened the door and made his way to the wedding. On his way there, he saw the many beauties of Rose Garden. Buildings of all different styles were exquisitely designed with elaborate trims and decorations. It was really quite interesting, how important aesthetics were to these people. Neyvahn shouldered the bag and continued on his way to the rendezvous point. He planned to meet Rei outside the chapel. It was there where they'd talk with their client to handle any extra information.

After a few minutes of dress shoes against paved walkways, the top of the chapel came into view above the rooftops. Neyvahn was getting closer to Rei and their client. Truth be told, he wasn't so sure about taking the job. He's only a D-ranked mage, fresh meat. His job partner wasn't any different. Hopefully things would go fine during the job, but Neyvahn wasn't so sure.  He shook his head free of the thoughts and looked up towards the blue sky. If he played his cards right, and conserved his energy, everything would work out fine. Neyvahn turned the corner of a street, bringing the chapel into view. The pristine purity of it shined upon everyone below, as crowds of people filed in, excited for the wedding. Once again, a beautiful sight in the Rose Garden. Neyvahn's eyes shifted from the top of the chapel to ground level to see a couple guys a few meters from the entrance.

One of them seemed to be hunching over in pain. He walked with an obvious limp in both legs, his entire lower body shaking. His other friend helped him up and supported him, walking into the chapel. Neyvahn spotted him looking back from where they were. That's when he saw his partner, but what he saw wasn't what he expected. Rei was in wedding attire as the job specified, but the dress she wore was beyond stunning. It was a beautiful white with satin trimmings of a smooth black color. Detached sleeves and stalkings adorned Rei's arms and legs, the main dress hugging her torso and her hips. The dress sprouted out into a beautiful frilled skirt, transitioning from pure white to jet black. Rei's hair was placed into a neat ponytail by a translucent bow, smooth locks flowing down past her hips.

She seemed to be scowling at the two men that left into the chapel, then she turned and saw Neyvahn. The two of them made eye contact, and almost immediately looked away. Neyvahn took a deep breath. Business... They were on a job. Shouldering the duffle bag again, Neyvahn continued forward and met up with Rei. Her face seemed a little red, possible suffering from the intense heat of the day. "H-hello Miss Katsura..." Neyvahn managed to get out. "Y-you look great in that dress." What was he saying? This wasn't some lovey dovey thing for strangers. It was just common courtesy... That was it, just the polite thing to do.

Neyvahn cleared his throat. "Anyways, our client should be here soon to give us any last minute details on the job."

Rei had quite a rather weird and stressful mourning trying to get out the door. First, a week before the job/wedding was to take place, she had to go and buy a dress for the first time in her life. Oh how she hated dresses, hated them with a pure passion. But sadly it was unavoidable to wear fancy clothes from time to time at specific events, and as such she was forced to go buy one for the job she and Neyvahn had agreed to take since by the time the wedding began she would be fit and healthy in time. Considering she had only been out of the hospital for a month, which she was internally grateful for.

She had to admit the dress she had chosen she chose purely because it was the most flexible to move around in, even though it showed a lot of skin, so much so she decided to cover her arms and legs in Lacey stockings as to not look as showy at a wedding. On the inside she hated it but also loved it, since the frilly's in the skirt faded from all sorts of hue's of gray down to solid black. while the rest of it was lined with gray and blackish bows all around. Since it was a job she pulled her hair back, and when she had done some touch ups on her face she had made her way up to the chapel.

She didn't pay much attention to her surroundings as she made her way though rose garden and up to the chapel doors. she stood there patiently, until she heard a man in a suit whistle at her...

this pissed her off so much she kicked him in the crotch with all her might and left him off with a warning as his buddies had to practically carry him inside as she seemed to have left him immobile from the wait down.

She was almost too busy being angry that she failed to notice a familiar young man walking towards her... His different shaded blue eyes gleamed in the sunlight, the slight breeze in the wind making his hair flow naturally. she quickly tensed up at his rather handsome attire, she could feel her face getting hotter by the second.

"Jeez, I told you just to call me Rei!" she said quietly looking down shyly at the ground. "And... u-uhm, thanks. you.. look very nice too" she swayed back and forth on her heels, unsure of what to say next.

The air between the two seemed to grow silent, and things became a little awkward. Not because Ney didn't want to say anything, but because he didn't know what to say. The most he could do was bring his left hand up and push a little hair out of his face. The only reason they weren't moving out to start their job was because they needed to check in with their client and make sure they were well informed of the task at hand. It really was bothersome. Neyvahn was hoping the client would be here sooner to help dilute this awk-

"You must be the mages!" A man in his early forty's, dressed in a clean custom-made tuxedo, walked over to the two. The frown marks and the wrinkles around his eyes stood out among his facial features. This man has obviously been stressed and worried. He was their client, the bride's father. "Oh, thank god you're here. I'm Emmet Triaz. You've received the letter, yes?"

Neyvahn nodded. "Yes Mr. Triaz, we've read through and understand that you believe that the wedding will be interrupted. That is correct?"

"Yes," the man said without skipping a beat. "My daughter, Sophie, and her fiance have been harassed over and over by her Ex-boyfriend all week! He has verbally and physically attacked my future son-in-law, and I'm afraid that he won't stop now." The poor father... It was clear he worried so much about his daughter. Neyvahn can only imagine how much sleep he has lost over this ordeal, and how scared he was of this day. The man looked at both Rei and Neyvahn, as if looking for some kind of assurance, assurance that the wedding would not be ruined.

"I see... Do you have a description of the bride's Ex-boyfriend?" Neyvahn asked. The man nodded his head and reached into his suit pocket. What he pulled out was a picture of the bride and another man. He seemed far less of a gentleman than the groom of the wedding. His blonde hair was styled with gel into a fohawk, and he wore slim-fitting jeans and a button-up shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. A classic player. In the picture, he was with Sophie, but it was clear that he was the focus of the picture. Narcissistic was Neyvahn's guess.

"This was Sophie's previous boyfriend for a few months. His name is Conner Roseheart. He's actually a wizard like you two."

"Do you know what kind of magic he uses?"

"No, I'm afraid not. I don't think he's too powerful, though..." Mr. Triaz handed the photo to the two of them. "You'll be able to protect the wedding... right?"

This man had definitely lost sleep thinking about this. He was scared, distraught, and haunted by the thought that someone wants to ruin his daughter's wedding. Neyvahn could only hope that Rei and him would be up to the task.

"We will, Mr. Triaz."Neyvahn said calmly. He smiled at the man and held his free hand out. "We will keep anyone from interrupting your daughter's wedding."

The man seemed to tear up a little as he eagerly grabbed Neyvahn's hand with both of his and shook. He let go and shook Rei's hand as well. "Thank you! Bless your hearts!" Without another word, he hurried into the chapel. Now they were set to go hunting for a jealous ex-boyfriend.

Neyvahn waited until everyone filed into the chapel, then set the duffel bag down and zipped it open. Inside was a little bit of gear, mainly his sword. Now that they have a description of their target and have finalized any last details, they were ready to go. Neyvahn grabbed his sword and strapped it over his back, looking over to Rei and nodding his head. "Ready to go?"

Rei watched as a short but well dressed man who had just exited the age of what most would consider youth: ages fifteen through forty. She guessed he was the father as he approached the two and began to talk to them about the situation of there being a crazy ex-boyfriend out to ruin the wedding. She adjusted her dress uncomfortably as it was rather tight on her mid-section as Mr. Triaz explained the description of this previous boyfriend, who's name seemed vaguely familiar to her... wait a second.

This guy was the bitch that tried to hit on her while she decided to go alone to a bar one night four months ago! She was having a drink when he stumbled over and his oh so smart drunken buddies thought she was some innocent girl available for the taking. He dried to grab her by the back of her shirt and pull her off her chair while she whipped around and gave him a knee to the gut, a fist to the crotch and one last one to his job while leaving him temporarily blinded with a spell. Which always through people through a loop since it doesn't even appear that she is even using magic when she does though. she never was able to figure out the type of magic he uses, unfortunately.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Rei blinked her eyes into focus at the task at hand. She gave Mr. Triaz a re-assuring smile. "Don't worry sir, we'll keep him from ruining your daughter's big day" she shook his hand firmly and watched as he entered the chapel. Turning to neyvahn, who asked if she was ready to leave. "Ready as I'll ever be" she shrugged, fallowing him as they skimmed the area over to see if anyone was on their way to the chapel. So far however, she didn't see anyone. "where do you think he would be?" she asked him, looking around.

Neyvahn shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but he'll probably be close to the chapel when they're exchanging vows. We'll have to stay close to the chapel to make sure they don't sneak through earlier than that." Neyvahn walked though another archway in the courtyard. The area around the chapel was still clear, and it was getting closer to the peak of the ceremony. Everything was going fine. Perhaps Roseheart didn't have the resolve to actually crash the wedding. Neyvahn scoffed. From what he's learned about their target, Conner's not likely to fall back on the very day of his ex's wedding day.

It was too calm, too close to safe. Neyvahn felt like something was up. It was their job to keep this psycho from ruining the wedding, and they planned to do that. Maybe they were trying to instill a sense of security into everyone at the wedding, catch them by surprise. Neyvahn checked to make sure that Ull's Claidheam was securely on his back, and took another look around. "Still nothing. Keep your eyes open, though. They might be trying to hit when our guard is down..." His voice faded out as something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. The streets around the chapel should be pretty empty since everybody was in the chapel. About 20 meters away at the corner of a street, Neyvahn swore he could see a group of people rush behind the buildings. He discretely tapped Rei's shoulder. "Careful, we might have visitors... 20 meters, dead ahead. Don't give anything away."

Neyvahn walked in the direction he saw the movement, still acting as if he didn't see anything. His sword was on his back, and he was ready for someone to attack. It could just be a trick his eyes were playing on him or people that just didn't go to the wedding. OR it could be the goons they were expecting. The two of them began to get closer to the corner of the street, still keeping the chapel in view to avoid anyone sneaking by. Prepared for any attackers, the two of them peered around the corner.

The member 'Neyvahn Keyvolo' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

---

'Monster Dice' :

Rei stood a few feet behind Neyvahn as they reared around the corner with the chapel still in view behind them. she had spotted the same movements Neyvahn had spotted that went just around the street corner. She walked casually beside him as they rounded the corner As She was suddenly pushed over and confronted by a guy with wild Red hair and orange eyes. A fireball swelled in his hand and overwhelmed by the sudden chaos Rei managed to kick him off her over his head, she recognized this guy from Connor's gang of buddies that was at the bar the one night they tried to harass her months ago.

Rei quickly back summer salted onto her feet. while doing so she spotted Connor who had a crazed look in his eye. it was definitly him, same blonde hair and the perverted angry expression. except it was how she remembered him with ten times the anger and fury behind his expression. It already seemed who was going to fight who the second they all made eye contact. she had no idea where the rest of Connor's gang seemed to be, probably hiding somewhere waiting to attack them when they were weak and had already used all their spells. They all froze for a single moment... she looked at Ney then back at the boy with the red hair guesturing she'd take him first. Suddenly the moment broke and everybody jumped into action. Rei ran forward at her opponent and kicked him in the side as he tried to throw yet another fireball at her. with the contact she made with him through the kick, she then blinded him as he jumped back in surprise as he was suddenly seemed to stumble over. she proceeded to punch him in the jaw as he stumbled over on his side. she had to get as many hits in as she possibly could while he was still blinded.

She looked over at Neyvahn who seemed to be struggling with Connor, who seemed to be much more powerful than he looked. the strength he was giving off seemed to be that he was a B ranked mage... That was too ranks above both of them, it would take a lot to take him out. Right now she knew Ney had the whits to be able to at least dodge his moves. but right now she herself had her own problems to take care of, she didn't want her own strength to go down until she could at least get this guy beaten down a little.

He shakily stood up acting as if he would fall over again, Rei punched him yet again in the stomach as he was thrown into the side of a nearby brick building. Afterwards he activated a spell that lit himself on fire, making it harder for Rei to hit him while he was blinded.

Rei tsk'ed to herself in annoyance, she'd just have to get a little burned.

She rushed forward and he tried to move where he thought she was but his perception was off without his sight. Rei kicked him in his head and sent him flying into another building, and ran up again to smack him into the pavement. she gritted her teeth at the pain of her arm being burned as she slammed his face into the pavement again. her laced sleeved glove had burned off. she pulled the rest of the sleeve off her arm and popped her burnt knuckles, looking up to check on Ney. he didn't look like he was doing so well.

Ney sidestepped another punch from Conner, returning it with a roundhouse kick towards the face. It was a foolish move, leaving him open to a much faster B-rank wizard. The move was too slow in comparison, allowing Conner to duck under and swipe out his feet. Neyvahn fell to the floor on his back, knocking a little air out of him. Conner quickly got back up and lifted his foot to curb stomp Neyvahn. The bottom of a boot never looked so intimidating. Neyvahn quickly rolled to the side and spun his legs upwards, connecting two solid hits to the enraged man's jaw. With the help of the dazing hits, Neyvahn was able to get back up, pull out Ull's Claidheam from its sheath, and slash horizontally at Conner's chest. The hit didn't connect in time and Neyvahn's opponent was able to back away.

Fortunately, that strike forced the target to reveal his magic. Conner's fist began to shimmer with power. Neyvahn's eyes went wide. A magic attack at point blank range, especially from a higher ranked wizard, would be devastating. Neyvahn quickly retreated back a few meters before the spell went off. He could sense it as Conner thrusted his fist forward, sending shock waves through the air. Neyvahn had a fraction of a second to dodge out of the way as the wave sliced past him, snagging and cutting through the back of his suit. It was ruined now.

Neyvahn groaned, tearing off the dress jacket and button-up shirt. "That suit was borrowed, you jackass." Beneath was leather armor, extra protection from attacks. Neyvahn's personal armor.

"Get out of my way, twerp!" Conner growled. "I have somewhere to be." The way this guy bit at every word, the way he gritted his teeth. He was being driven by rage. He wasn't going to listen to a single word anyone said. He spit at Neyvahn. "Scram!"

"Not gonna happen. You're the reason we're here, Roseheart." Neyvahn grinned as he tapped the blade of his sword to the ground. The air suddenly became colder, and the ground around Neyvahn coated itself in a layer of smooth ice right under Conner's feet. Neyvahn dashed forward and slid under another casted spell, swiping Conner's feet from underneath him. He used the advantage to stab down onto his target's right hand, going right through it.

"GAAGH!" He screamed in pain, bringing his feet up and kicking Neyvahn off of him. The sword pulled loose, taking a little blood with it. Conner's henchman saw what was happening and used a fire spell to melt all the ice, also firing a fireball at Neyvahn as insult to injury. The ball of flames hit Neyvahn right in the leg, causing him to wince a little. Fortunately, Rei was able to keep him from firing anymore attacks. Conner got back up and held his right hand in pain. "You SON OF A BITCH," he yelled to Neyvahn. "YOU'RE DEAD NOW!"

Without warning, he dashed forward, too fast to track, and punched Neyvahn in the gut. He curled over in pain, dropping Ull's Claidheam. Conner didn't stop, elbowing him in the back and uppercutting him right in the jaw. Neyvahn flew backwards, rolling on the concrete. He came to a stop, standing back up in a daze. Conner really did mean business, the rage in his eyes burning hot. Were it not for his armor, Neyvahn would already be half dead. The armor was able to keep him from dropping down too much, only taking a quarter of his ability to fight from him. Neyvahn held his jaw in pain. That hit hurt.

Conner roared as he used his magic to fling a fruit cart at Neyvahn. He only saw the cart flying at him quick enough to drop back to the floor and dodge it. Neyvahn didn't feel sorry for whoever left that fruit cart out. Who leaves a fruit cart out in the open with no one watching over it? Neyvahn looked to his side to see Rei handling the other wizard relatively well. It looks like she blinded him to start. That attack always caught them off guard. It really was pretty impressive how effective it was. Neyvahn shook his head, getting back up and dodging a dumpster.

"What the hell is with this guy?" Neyvahn asked himself. "Talk about a ridiculous ego..."

Rei had to act fast, her spell was going to run out in less than 10 minutes.

She was completely torn between helping Neyvahn or fighting off the person in front of her fist. she could hear his agony against their much much harder opponent just behind her and it made her cringe in guilt knowing she had the capability to run over and help him. she shook her head. she had to take advantage of the fact that her opponent literally could not land a hit on her because he couldn't even see. it was going to run out very soon, so she paused a moment as she turned to see Ney barely dodge a dumpster.

"hang on, Ney" she whispered under her breath as she flung herself towards her enemy who had lit himself on fire defensively. He had gotten up from the pavement she'd slammed his face into earlier. She kept her steps light so he couldn't hear which direction she was coming from as she ran forward and smacked her head into his twice. she was forced to let go due to her hands starting to get burned. As he was dazed though she ignored her burning hands in order to knee him in the gut, he tried to swing a punch in the totally opposite direction. which she used to whip around grab his hand and twist it the wrong way while kicking his feet out from under him.

She knew she only had seconds left to quickly make any last moves.

She reacted fast by body slamming him with her elbow into the pavement again, quickly getting off. "damn that stupid spell!" she hissed and heard him smirk under his breath. Which pissed her off, so she quickly wiped it off his smug little face my kicking him in the balls, again. This time made him whine, which made her smile as she picked him up by his leg and swung him into the same brick building she had before. His spell was still on, it shouldn't be able to last much longer though...

she noticed his eyes were starting to look at things, which means it was starting to go back into focus. she had to help Ney while she had the chance.

She spun around to see ney struggling to keep up with Connor, who was incredibly strong and fast. She ran over to him while he was ducked behind the dumpster he had thrown for cover. "hurry! I can use my buff spell on you! what do you want!?" she asked frantically hearing Connor coming closer.

Neyvahn heard Rei call from behind him. She was offering to boost a trait of his. Considering the fact that he couldn't get many hits on Conner, he'd need the advantage of speed. Neyvahn dodged another wave attack from Conner, quickly backing off towards Rei.

"Speed!" He knelt next to her behind the dumpster, finding a break against Conner and allowing Rei to transfer her spell over to him. He instantly felt the aching muscles in his body become overwhelmed with a cooling, energizing sensation. He could already feel his bodily responses speed up, adding on to his already quick reflexes. With the added speed, he was sure he'd be on equal ground with Conner. Unfortunately, the break did not last. Neyvahn could see Conner out of the corner of his eye, extending his arm out towards the dumpster.

Neyvahn lashed out and grabbed Rei, pulling her out from behind the dumpster before it was flung away, landing against the wall a few feet from the fire wizard. "Made a good call," Neyvahn mused. He let Rei down to get rid of the fire wizard, leaving him with Conner. Neyvahn was smarter and more cunning than the enraged man, but he was lacking speed to fight him. With Rei's helpful buff, he can start doing some real damage against Conner. That's when he noticed his sword on the other side of Conner. "... shit."

Conner used his wave magic to launch himself right in front of Neyvahn, closing the distance between the two and throwing a powerful sucker punch at Ney's face. However, he didn't have the speed advantage anymore. Neyvahn confidently dodged the attack, grabbing Conner's arm and throwing him down with his own momentum. He landed against the hard ground on his back, knocking the breath out of him. "Doesn't feel so good now, does it?" Neyvahn growled, taking his left arm and punching against the elbow. Conner's arm broke with a snap, causing him to yell in rage and pain.

Conner kicked out in pain, nearly catching Neyvahn by the jaw. Neyvahn took that as a sign to let go and get his sword. He dashed away with his increased speed, grabbing his sword and running back towards Conner. He was getting up, having troubles because of his newly broken and weirdly bent arm, courtesy of Ney. He wasn't getting up fast enough to recover before Neyvahn could get there, so Neyvahn took the chance and dropped right into Conner, kicking him square in the face with both feet. The force of the kick was enough to send Conner tumbling again. However, he quickly got back up again, using the rolling momentum to do most of the work for him.

His expression twisted and turned even more, becoming warped with rage and anger. The way his aura radiated off of him, he was becoming more desperate, and more enraged. He charged up another wave attack, a powerful one. Neyvahn wouldn't be able to dodge this one, even with his speed. Instead he used his magic to build a wall from the ground beneath him. "Gadokabe!" The paved road shifted and rose in front of Neyvahn, putting something between him and Conner's attack just in time. The wave attack launched towards the wall and hit it, completely demolishing it. Fortunately, the attack wasn't strong enough to keep going. The wall shattered into dust and debris, creating a smoke screen.

Neyvahn took a heavy breath. Conner Roseheart was too dangerous to keep fighting. Damages to the city could be heavier than their reward. Suddenly, another horizontal wave attack cut through the smoke, right above Neyvahn. Play time was over. Neyvahn shifted and reformed some of the fallen concrete into a shuriken. The impact would probably shatter the shuriken, leaving fragments in Conner. Neyvahn leaped out with the improvised weapon in his pouch, ready to use. He rushed forward, muttering "Tosho" under his breath. Conner grabbed a hold of the fruit cart from earlier with his wave magic and flung it and Neyvahn. The speed boost kept him well away from such attacks, allowing him to get in close and swing his sword down on Conner. Conner dodged the first swing, but was not prepared for the second one that came back around. The blade phased through his right arm without a mark. Before Neyvahn got hit with any more attacks, he leaped away and reached into his back pocket while the spell took effect.

"What kinda trick was that!?" Conner hissed. He tried to lift his right arm, but couldn't. "Wha-what!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?"

Neyvahn pulled the shuriken from his back pocket, throwing it right into Conner's right arm. It shattered inside as he expected, leaving bits of concrete embedded in his bicep. However, with the frostbite spell Neyvahn hit him with, Conner could not feel the pain. He could only stare with a frightened expression. "It's called chipping away, Roseheart."

Conner growled. "No. Get out of my way. She... She belongs WITH ME! SOPHIE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE LEAVING ME, AND THEY THINK A FEW LOWLY PUKES LIKE YOU TWO WILL STOP ME!? PATHETIC!" Neyvahn sheathed his sword. "GOT TO HELL YOU ROTTEN- NGH!" and dashed forward, punching Conner in the gut, causing him to bend over in pain. Using the same attacks that were used on him, Neyvahn elbowed Conner in the back. But instead of uppercutting him, Neyvahn instead swept out his feet. He wasn't just going to let this guy walk away with injured arms. This... this fucker didn't deserve much of what he had. Conner Roseheart was a good looking guy, with great genes and great magic. But he wasn't deserving of such gifts. It even made Neyvahn sick, the way he acted so ignorant and belligerent. He didn't know how to move on, and he was going to pay for it.

Neyvahn stepped on his left arm, further worsening the pain. He was going to hit this man until he passed out if that's what it took. Neyvahn knelt down and lifted up Conner's arm, striking him in the armpit, right where a bundle of nerves were, with the second knuckle of his middle finger. Conner screamed out in pain, writhing and squirming, trying to get free. However, Neyvahn wasn't just going to let that happen. He continued his relentless assault, standing back up and stomping in between Conner's legs. Neyvahn knew that he didn't deserve those, not with what he planned to do. He used his other leg and stomped on top of the man's chest knocking the breath out of him.

"Roseheart, I plan to break every bone in your body. When I'm through with you, you'll wish you could sit up from your bed, let alone move at all." Neyvahn's voice became menacing, filled with hatred and disdain. He reached for his sword again, but he wasn't able to. Rei was fighting the fire wizard, but he had regained his sight, and what he saw was frightening. He found an opening in Rei's attacks, just long enough to launch a fireball at Neyvahn. Distracted from Conner, the fireball landed a direct hit in Neyvahn's chest. He was flung back and off of Conner, his hair singed at the ends. Neyvahn winced, howling in pain as the burning scarred his skin. The hit was enough for Conner to get back up, albeit with some difficulties. Somehow, he had managed to pop his broken arm back forward, howling in pain and rage.

Neyvahn stood back up, he face still burning from the fireball. He glared at Conner, hatred and shock painted across his face. "You're still STANDING!?" The two madmen faced each other, new and burning rage running through their veins. What had gotten Neyvahn so fired up? Was it purely because of Conner's behavior. Was is possible for such little things to enrage Neyvahn so much?

It was his weakness, to be blinded by such rage. All because of his hatred for the acts of others. Neyvahn bent down and picked up his sword, wiping the dust off his shoulders. The fight was beyond business now... it was personal.

Rei could feel a sudden drop of consciousness in her body that made her dizzy as she cast her spell on Neyvahn. She took a deep breath to get a hold of herself as she left Ney to now take control Connor while Rei went to go handle his side kick. She knew she had to be a bit more careful this time, since her own strength had gone down quite a bit Rei felt like she would be taking more of the defensive route now. The fire Wizard got up from the building rubble and dusted off his shoulders, the fire that was surrounding him was beginning to dull. They'd be a bit more on even grounds when his spell gave out. He had a small limp he was obviously trying to hide from being hit between his legs so many times. Rei could feel the heat of his flames as he walked towards her, she had to take a step back to keep her dress from lighting on fire.

The tall fiery wizard look down at her with his smug yet bruised face. "I didn't expect this much power from a measly girl like you" he scoffed, spitting at the ground. Rei folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "I didn't think you had such a sensitive dick" She smiled up at him, her words making his smirk turn into an angry frown. She had obviously pissed him off as he swung a punch at her head, she quickly dodged that one but failed to notice the punch he had coming for her stomach. She coughed and stumbled back. she looked up at him, giving him the stink eye as she flung a punch at his shoulder. he quickly caught it in his fist, and instead of letting it go...he stood there, letting her hand burn in his flames. "You seem weaker than you were before, hmm. I wonder why" he caught her off guard again, her senses just seemed to not be as sharp as they were before. "oh, see your friend over there? you two think your winning, beating up connor like that" he said while he pulled her in and held her in a headlock, being surrounded by the flames she couldn't help but let out a cry in pain feeling her skin begin to burn, "NEY! LOOK OUT!" she shouted but it was too late. The fire wizard already had a fireball on its way as it collided with Neyvahn's face. As soon as he did so his fire gave out, Rei took a few deep breaths of the smokey air around her before acting helpless to catch him off guard again.

she had to get her head back in the game. her skin hurt everywhere, it all felt painful with her sudden movements. she had to get over and help Ney as fast as she could. She quickly brought up her leg hard enough to kick him in the balls, again. She thought this guy would get the clue sooner or later but, apparently not.

he winced again, his head lock releasing as she wriggled herself free. "why you little bitc-" he wasn't able to finish his sentence as Rei connected her fist with his face again, she could still feel her punches weren't doing as much damage. But now she felt like her head was back in the game. he threw another fireball at her, she dodged in time to roll out of the way and towards him to kick his feet out from under him. she quickly climbed onto his torso to hold him down. good thing he couldn't re-activate the fire so soon. she grabbed his head in her fists, and slammed it down on the pavement road. "THAT'S for ruining this expensive dress!" she shouted, watching his head start to bleed. she lifted his head higher, and smashed it down with more force. "AND THAT'S for being the bastard you are!" she lifted his head up so she could stare him in the eyes one last time. "and this..." she said, he looked at her nervously, mentally swearing at himself. "IS FOR HURTING MY BEST FRIEND!" she yelled at him and forced his head into the ground hard enough for him to scream, but his scream was cut off by his sudden silence of him passing out on the ground. She huffed, taking a few breaths before standing up and kicking his unconscious corpse in the side for good measure. before looking up at the situation between Connor and Neyvahn. Both of them looked like total madmen, crazed looks in their eyes. A look of torture, and scariest of all, murder.

Neyvahn glared at the mangled man, rage and blood-lust burning inside of him. He wanted to do more than stop Conner Roseheart from ruining the wedding... he wanted to stop Conner Roseheart from ruining anything else. His arrogance and his inability to let go caused so much hurt and so much ruin. He doesn't deserve those powers, and he doesn't deserve the privilege of action. Conner abused that privilege heavily, and he has to answer to it. Neyvahn gripped the hilt of his sword harder, the burn in his face still searing his flesh. It didn't matter anymore. That wound would heal soon enough.

In his muscles and his body, Neyvahn could feel the energy of Rei's speed buff beginning to wear off. He has a few minutes at most before he loses the advantage again. Conner looked behind him to see Rei standing over the unconscious body of his accomplice. It was two to one now. "Time's up, Roseheart..." Neyvahn crouched low and took a fighting stance. "Don't count on me making this quick... or painless." Neyvahn launched forward and swung his sword towards Conner's head. Conner quickly sidestepped and kneed Neyvahn in the gut causing him to nearly drop his sword again, then retaliated with another kick to the face. The two-kick combination definitely did its damage, sending Neyvahn into a spiral back towards the ground. He landed harshly on his back, but instantly got back up. The rage was too much to let him stay down, and it was too much to listen to reason.

Conner launched another wave attack right at Neyvahn, a vertical strike closing in very fast, but Neyvahn's speed boost wasn't used up just yet. He leaped forward and jabbed the sword towards Conner's chest. Conner sidestepped the attack and spun around for another kick to the head. However, the surprise of it only worked once. Neyvahn ducked under and sliced at his calves. The blade only stopped after an inch, lodging itself into Conner's leg. Conner growled, bringing his other foot down and kicking Neyvahn away. He pulled the sword out of his leg with his broken arm, the grimace and intense pain etched into his face. All Neyvahn did was grin sinisterly. The pain and the obvious struggle was a true sign of Conner's weakness. He was almost done.

Neyvahn launched himself forward, this time relying on his fists to finish the job. He swung his first punch at Conner's face, an obvious choice. Almost as if by second nature, Conner leaned his head to the side and dodged the punch, bringing his knee up to Neyvahn's stomach. Neyvahn quickly jumped back to avoid the strike, then immediately went back into battle. He threw the same punch, but this time, he used his other hand to grab Conner by the collar of his shirt and headbutt him hard. Conner stepped back dazed. He seemed to notice Rei behind him, rushing forward to fight. Neyvahn went in for another attack, but was immediately stopped with a swift headbutt, a copy of his. Conner howled with laughter as Neyvahn fell to the floor, disoriented by the attack. That was it, his speed boost was gone. Neyvahn could feel the energy leaving his body, leaving behind aching and crying muscles. He wouldn't be able to effectively fight Conner anymore.

"Ha! Karma's a BITCH, AIN'T SHE!!" He lifted his broken arm up and pointed it at Rei, who stopped dead in her tracks. Conner charged his attack, the very air around him shifting and swirling into his palm. "Well soon, SHE'S GONNA BE MY BITCH!!" He was ready to fire, right at Rei, with his strongest attack. A B-ranked attack, against an injured D-rank mage... the result was less than good. Conner laughed maniacally as he watched Rei struggle to find cover of some sort in the street. Everything in the street nearby was crushed or destroyed. She had nowhere to hide. "SAY YOUR PRAYERS, BITCH!"

slice...

Conner's hand fell to the floor, detached from the arm it once belonged to... The blood was on the end of a blue blade... A familiar blue blade. Neyvahn gripped the hilt with white knuckles, his hands shaking. "Attack me all you want..."

Neyvahn brought the blade up and sliced right across Conner's chest, his shirt tearing open. "... but attack my friend..." Conner attempted a push kick, but was unsuccessful as Neyvahn caught his leg and twisted his ankle further than it could go. A series of pops and cracks echoed from Conner's foot as his left foot went limp. He screamed out in pain, instantly shut up with a swift punch to the throat by Neyvahn. "... and you'll wish you had ALREADY DIED!!" Neyvahn walked forward with his sword as Conner tried to scamper off, but Conner was trapped now. Neyvahn stabbed the sword down just above his broken ankle, bringing even more pain and misery to Conner.

"AAAGH!! PLEASE! STOP!!" Neyvahn let go of his sword, leaving it in Conner's leg, and jabbed his hand out to the man's neck, grasping it in a vice-like grip.

"It's too late to stop..."

Rei was bracing for the impact of Connor's spell, she closed her eyes and covered her face with her arms. Except, the blow never came, instead, she could only hear the slicing of flesh and a thud to the hard concrete floor.

She looked up, seeing Neyvahn had saved her from the blast, not in the way she had expected...

Conner's hand was now laying limp on the ground as the end of him arm started to bleed intensely. That might've been a bit too far... but he also could've killed her with that spell...she wasn't sure what to do, her heart was racing. Neyvahn's usually calm, serious blue eyes had faded... they seemed darker and more psychopathic, he broke Connors ankle, and stuck his sword in it, stepping on his leg and again breaking yet another bone. crunch after crunch, she could hear Connor's desperate cries for mercy.


"AAAGH!! PLEASE! STOP!!"

She knew that scream, Connor sounded desperate to keep his life. The pain was too much to bear... just like when she... when Lucius refused to give Rei mercy, over, and over, and over. He broke nearly every bone in her body, nearly paralyzed her for the rest of her life, and made her scream and call for help, but nobody ever came... she was alone, and sure that she was only minutes away from taking her final breath when he left her to slowly suffocate on her own blood crushed under a pile of rubble. 

But this time, she was here. She could stop him, stop him from killing Connor. No matter how much of a jerk he seemed to be...he still had a life and someone out there who must've cared for him. she had to act fast, before Neyvahn made any rash decisions...

crack

Rei looked up to see Neyvahn hitting Connor, over, and over, and over...

A part of her wanted to run away, keep herself safe from her friends blind rage... she couldn't just leave Connor to die like this! she had to overcome that fear. 

She took a shaky breath, she trembled in anxious fear. If she got hurt in the process, fine. At least no one would die...

She looked up to see Ney with his hand in the air, about to bring it down on Connors skull. her instincts kicked in that moment...she sprinted forward, diving between Connor and Neyvahn. 

The force of his punch collided with her wrist instead of Connor, she felt it snap at the base. She winced in pain at her now broken wrist, but she kept her fingers interlocked with Neyvahn's. They stared at each other for a moment, for a second, it didn't look like the Ney she knew and loved. This....thing, looked like he had nothing but murder on his mind. The need to see blood spill... no matter who's it was.

"Ney! STOP!" she screamed at him, she could feel her arms giving out against his strength. She managed to hold him in place, regardless. "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!" her voiced cracked in the middle of her words, she could feel her eyes start to feel glossy as a tear made its way down her cheek. "please! stop..." h Rei choked on her words, looking away from him, and doing the only thing she could think to do.

Rei let go of his hands, and hugged him as tight as she could around his torso. As if he was going to fade away.

"please..."

Conner didn't deserve to live... not after the things he's done. Neyvahn punched him hard in the face, knocking a tooth loose. Blood began to ooze into his mouth. Neyvahn punched the other side of his jaw, sending a chilling crack echoing through the air. Conner deserved to rot as a corpse, away from the rest of the world. Conner was broken down. A broken and impaled ankle, a snapped arm with no hand, the other arm with a hole through the palm, numbed by Neyvahn's spell, fractured ribs, shattered pelvis... Even if Neyvahn had stopped, Conner would not want to live. Neyvahn pulled his fist back, clenching it so hard that his nails dug into his palm. Neyvahn was doing Conner a service at this point, ending his ridiculous, miserable life. Conner rolled over and spat the blood out of his mouth, then Neyvahn kicked him onto his back once again.

He drove his fist forward with his entire force towards Conner's neck. Collapse the neck, and finish this. When the hit connected, Nevyahn heard something snap... but it wasn't Conner's neck. Rei stood there between him and Conner, holding Neyvahn back with a newly broken wrist. Neyvahn growled. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Rei still held fast, slowly losing her strength against him. "Ney! STOP!" she screamed desperately. Her arms began to shake as Neyvahn fought to overpower her. "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!" Neyvahn shouted out in rage.

"That's the POINT!" Neyvahn pushed against her, pushing her down even farther. What was Rei doing!? This fucker wasted his life when he tried to attack the wedding. Neyvahn knew that if they let Conner go, then all of this would have been for nothing. Everyone related to the Goldstars would be in danger of his rage. Neyvahn heard Rei pleading, begging for him to stop. Neyvahn did't listen, and continued to push against Rei's broken wrist. She was getting in the way, and she was going to pay for it. Suddenly, Rei let go of his hands, as if she was agreeing. Neyvahn reared his fist back once again to hit Conner, but could not. He was mistaken, Rei was not letting him go, she was holding on tighter. She wrapped her arms around Neyvahn, gripping as tightly as she could, begging for him to stop, begging for him to... to come back.  

What he was doing... it was murder. Killing Conner wasn't out of mercy, it was out of the hatred of his actions. Neyvahn clenched his fists again, roaring out into the air. This... what he was doing was terrible. This isn't what anybody wants... This isn't what he wants. Neyvahn released his clenched fists, letting them fall down to his sides. This wasn't him, this was something that he wished wasn't a part of him. The rage blinded him, just like it did Conner Roseheart. And if he killed Conner, then what made him better than the very people he was fighting? Neyvahn still felt Rei wrapped around his torso, clear tears rolling down his armor. There was still time to stop... It was time to stop.

Neyvahn breathed heavily, trying to calm his breaths. That's when he remembered something Rei told him, not too far back. He remembered when he was sitting next to Rei. She was attacked by a psychotic killer, one from their own guild. Rei barely made it out alive because of sheer luck. The pain... and the fear on her face were unbearable. Neyvahn hated seeing that. He hated seeing Rei cry like that, the very way she was crying right now.

Neyvahn bent down, and slowly wrapped his arms around Rei. He needed to stop this, right now. That's just what he did. Neyvahn gently hugged Rei, resting his head on her shoulder. "I-I'm... I'm s-sorry Rei... I don't know what came over me..." Neyvahn let go, sinking down to his knees and placing his palms on the surface of his knees. He stared at the ground, the corners of his eyes beginning to water. "I'm so sorry Rei... I didn't mean to do that to you." Neyvahn's arms tightened and relaxed as he tried to get himself under control. Suddenly, Neyvahn heard a scoff from behind Rei. He looked up to see Conner towering over Rei... With HIS sword in Conner's hand. The frostbite spell wore off... and Neyvahn didn't realize it in time.

"DIE, YOU FUCKER!" He screamed, swinging the sword down towards Rei's head.

"NO!" Neyvahn leaped up and pushed Rei off to the side, taking the blow instead. The sword cut through Neyvahn's armor, slicing a deep cut right into his shoulder. Conner let go of the sword, and Neyvahn fell back. The sword unlodged itself from his shoulder as he hit the ground. The blood squirted from the cut, creating a small pool of blood around Neyvahn. His magic worked as quickly as it could to mend the wound, only to be able to stop the bleeding. Conner laughed maniacally.

"PATHETIC! YOU TWO ARE WEAK AND PATHETIC! YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING COMING YOUR WAY!" Conner lifted his broken foot up and placed it down on top of Neyvahn, grimacing as he ignored the pain and pushed down. "I'll make sure of that!"

Rei shivered at Neyvahn's cruel tone as he yelled at her to move out of the way, she ignored him. Even though she was scared he would lash out even more at her in order to get her out of his way...she continued to hug him the tightest she could. Her wrist sent a pain up her arm for her to stop, but she couldn't. She felt his heart rate begin to slow as she leaned on his shoulder, Trying to stop herself from trembling too much. 

She took a few shaky breaths of relief as he began to calm down. "I-I'm... I'm s-sorry Rei... I don't know what came over me..." She sighed hearing his real voice again. her hug on his loosened, but she still held him close."I'm so sorry Rei... I didn't mean to do that to you." With those words, she hugged him a bit tighter. "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm fine... I'm just glad you seem to be yourself again..." she tried to re-assure him. she was too caught up in the moment to realize what was happening... she could see Connor's shadow creeping across the ground, the shadow of a sword above his head. 

Before she knew it, she felt Ney suddenly push her to the side. she heard the slicing through his flesh... She looked back frantically to see Connor with his twisted, broken foot over Neyvahn's head. A pool of blood got bigger around Ney as he seemed to lay motionless... 

Rei felt something snap within her. 

Rei's eyes darkened as she stood, and rolled up a burnt sleeve of her dress. The hairtie holding her hair in place had finally broke, she never had her hair down... it fell to her ankles as she looked up at Connor with her eyes shadowed. 

"ohohohoh! now look at the pretty bitch with her hair down!" Connor teased, Rei growled under her breath, dashing forward with all her strength. Punching him square in the chest, she felt his sternum shatter on impact as he skidded across the pavement, only being stopped by a street light. She looked in his direction, and walked towards him with her shoulders slouched forward. Connor looked up in a daze seeing Rei's serious frown on her face. he couldn't move, he looked like he could barely breathe. 

blood trickled down the edge of his mouth, and Rei stopped in front of him. "you know, I thought I saw myself in you while Neyvahn was beating you to a pulp..." her voice took a tone not even she herself recognized. She stepped closer, stomping down hard on his left collarbone, hearing it crack under the pressure. He replied with yet another screech of pain, "but now I realize..." she continued her sentence, gripping him by the throat and dragging his worthless corpse to eye level so she could stare him in the eyes. She could feel him trying to breathe under the pressure of her extremely hard grip, they met eyes for a second, and she barely whispered out her words. "You're the biggest sorry coward that doesn't deserve what he's been given" 

And with that, she could see the fear behind his eyes of what she would do next. she smacked his skull into the street lamp, the first time made it sound like a bell as the post vibrated from the impact, and because she now realized he didn't deserve any sort of mercy... she did it again, so hard the lamp post bent, and cracked the cement it was in. She looked at the now unconscious bastard that dangled limply in her grip. she let him fall onto the curb of the sidewalk, she could hear his wheezy shallow breathing as she kicked his sorry ass one last time. Before she heard a groan behind her, which immidietly snapped her out of her thoughts as she whipped around seeing Ney still on the ground.

She whipped around and ran over to him, kneeling down at his side and gently picking him up in her arms best she could. He was much taller than she was, and weighed more too. but with her determination and strength she managed to pick him up. He needed her in this moment... the same way he had helped her in the past. It was her time to return the favor, she could see the shadow's of at least two other people in Connors little gang run around the corner and see their leader crippled by the sidewalk. his blood going down the nearby storm drain.

she cradled Neyvahns head by her shoulder to keep him safe. looking just around the corner to see the enemies...

The member 'Rei Katsura' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

---

'Monster Dice' :

Neyvahn's shoulder hurt like a bitch, but it would hold. He saw the two hooded figures run closer to them. They spotted Conner in the back ground, badly mutilated all over, and stopped dead in their tracks.

"BOSS!" One of the goons shouted out, shocked and scared by the sight in front of him. Neyvahn could faintly sense their auras. They were probably more wizards from Conner's gang. They both crouched low, their auras concentrating in their hands. Neyvahn sighed. What do these guys think they're doing? Their boss and their other wizard were just cut up and knocked unconscious by two others, and they think that its a good idea to confront their attackers. Well, it was a better idea than before considering how low on health they were, but Neyvahn couldn't let them know that.

He groaned in annoyance (and pain), pushing himself off of Rei. "Let me down. I'll handle the left one. You get the right." Neyvahn could hear her begin to object, but he placed his finger on her lips. "Don't give anything away," he whispered, giving her a confident grin. Neyvahn grabbed his sword and walked back up to stand with Rei. The two wizards looked at each other, then faced Rei and Neyvahn. "Let's finish this job strong."

Neyvahn once again, tapped the ground with his sword, covering every bit of floor within 15 meters from him with ultra-smooth ice. "GO!" Neyvahn and Rei dashed forward, fists clenched and weapons ready. Both wizards began to slip, falling flat on their asses. Neyvahn leaped up and drop kicked his target right in the chest, causing the target to slip back. He grunted painfully, struggling to get up. Now that there was no Fire Wizard to melt the ice, the spell would last just long enough. Neyvahn slid forward and swung his sword, slicing a superficial wound in front of the Ice Wizards chest. He was going to make this fast. The faster and the harder he hit, the more likely he'd get out of this alive. Neyvahn continued, stabbing his sword into the wizard's left palm and pinning it to the ground. The wizard continued to cry out, but Neyvahn didn't let up, leaving his sword in the man's palm and switching to his fists. He knelt on top of the man, keeping him from moving, and sucker punched him in the face. The wizard put his hands up and blocked Neyvahn from landing anymore hits.

The wizard then opened up and jabbed Neyvahn in the face and knocking him off. The wizard opened his mouth, a blue energy forming inside of it. Everything became more chilled. His enemy was an ice wizard. Neyvahn quickly leaped back and avoided the ice strike. He may have had a resistance to ice attacks, but at his current status, there's no way he'd risk getting hit. The ice below everyone began to melt away, warning Neyvahn that his spell was about to end. He took the hint and backed away. "Rei! Fall back!" He shouted to Rei, quickly placing his hands on the ground beneath where the ice used to be. Rei dodged an attack from the other wizard and ran back to where Neyvahn was. "Gadokabe!" A familiar wall of stone and dirt rose up above them, giving them momentary cover against their attackers. "Rei, do you think you can boost my speed again?"

Rei saw the other wizards that were just as strong as the fire wizard. "oh for fucks sake..." she mentally cursed herself. They just could not get a break, and just as she was about to run away with Neyvahn in her arms, he got up and suggested they just get the fight over with. she rolled her eyes and protested against it due to her wanting to get neyvahn to a safe place so he could rest, but she was slightly embarrassed as he put a finger to her lips. She folded her arms being weary of her snapped wrist as she begrudgingly accepted his proposal. but as soon as this was over she was going to take care of him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

She darted forward at her target after Ney had casted his ice spell. After doing so the wind Wizard fell on his sorry ass as Rei rushed forward to land a few blows on him while the spell lasted. She ran forward, and activated her resistance sense spell. The wind wizard looked around in panic. "the hell? I CANT SEE!" he blurted out. Rei rolled her eyes. This guy was really stupid... "no duh genius!" Rei couldn't help but say in annoyance as she rushed forward and kicked him in the side sending him flying across the ice and then hitting his head on the same lamp post she had thrown Connor into. she ran across the ice and kicked him again, he then went flying across the ice again. He was totally helpless.

Rei pinned him down on the ice as it began to melt, she raised her fist and punched him square in the jaw as his mouth started to bleed, one of his teeth falling out. she did it one more time, as she turned to see Neyvahn hiding behind the wall he had just made. she jumped off of him and back behind the wall with Neyvahn. "Rei, do you think you can boost my speed again?" he asked her. "yeah, i got enough magic power for the spell again." She said, touching her shoulder and feeling a bit tipsy for a second as she increased Ney's speed by 40%.

The familiar rush flowed through Neyvahn's body. Sore muscles and injuries felt like nothing as adrenaline and magic coated his entire being. "Thanks, Rei!" With this, he'd be able to quickly get rid of the ice wizard. He'd have to, he was too close to falling unconscious. Neyvahn waited behind the wall for another attack, and he was granted such an attack. The ice wizard lifted his hands and launched a beam of ice at the wall. It cracked under the pressure, but stayed standing. Neyvahn unsheathed Ull's Claidheam again. "Just one more attack... Come on."

The winds around them began to shift, swirling and clumping together, turning into a tornado. Work of the wind wizard, surely. Then, ice shards from the last attack were drawn into it, creating a deadly, high velocity combination... and it was aiming right at the wall. The wall wouldn't be able to hold up a combined attack of two C-ranked wizards. Neyvahn turned to Rei. "Run!" Both of them dove out of cover just as the ice was flung at the wall, shattering it completely. However, the spell continued to fling passed the fallen stone. Had they been standing there when the spell was casted, they'd be Swiss cheese. Neyvahn rolled back onto his feet and charged the ice wizard.

The ice wizard attempted to cast another spell to attack, but he wasn't prepared for the sudden change in pace. Neyvahn ducked below and sliced passed the man's legs, leaving a deep wound in his thigh. The man yelped in pain. "Why you little-!" Neyvahn didn't let him finish. The sword came back up and cut his chest again, creating an "X" on the man. He sheathed his sword and switched to unarmed combat. Keeping at close range, Neyvahn didn't give the wizard a chance to cast a spell. He swung a right hook, but the wizard blocked it before it could hit, returning it with his own jab to the face. Neyvahn lunged to the side and brought his knee up to the man's already injured stomach. The strength behind that strike was enough to make the ice wizard dry heave.

Neyvahn could see the wizard struggling to stay standing. The leg strike was a little more painful than he was expecting. Noticing this, Neyvahn spun around and used his other leg to kick the man in the back, pushing him away. Still stumbling forward, the ice wizard turned around and launched another beam at him. The attack was too close to dodge, so Neyvahn ducked down and did his best to block it with the blade of his sword, keeping the blade over his vital organs. Shards of ice flew passed him, except for one. It caught him across the side, slipping passed the one area unprotected by the armor. Neyvahn grimaced a little, but didn't stop attacking. He leaped up and swept the wizard's feet from the ground, leaving him vulnerable for a fraction of a second. Fortunately for Neyvahn, and unfortunate for the ice wizard, that was all the time he needed. Neyvahn drove his fist right into the center of the man's chest, sending him crashing back to the floor, unconscious.

"Glad to be done with that," Neyvahn joked, looking over to Rei. She seemed to be handling the wind wizard quite well. He seemed to be blinded by Rei's spell, swinging aimlessly, while Rei looked for openings in his strikes. Neyvahn decided to lend a little helping hand. He sheathed his sword and ran forward, grabbing the wizard by his leg and taking it out from under him. The poor lad fell right on his face. The hit didn't knock him out, just hurt like a bitch. Neyvahn stood next to Rei. "Holding up?"

Rei nodded at Neyvahn as she waited for the attacks behind the wall, each one crashing and cracking the wall more. On his word, she dove out of the way right as the shards broke though the wall. One managed to nick the back of her arm but she didn't think much of it. She watched as Neyvahn went in to take care of the ice wizard, she looked over scared that he'd also fall unconscious. most likely after this fight... 

She confronted the wind wizard who was still helplessly blind, basically impossible for him to hit anything. Or so she thought, she had gotten too cocky and failed to notice as he was firing gusts of air in all directions, the randomness of his moves made them harder to dodge. she took a blow to the side, it wasn't too fast of a wind, though she felt it would definitely leave a bruise. After he was done with the spell, she ran forward and kicked him off his feet again and brought her foot down on his crotch. The guy practically screamed like an opera singer. she got up and let the guy scramble helplessly to his feet. knew he would be finished soon, the blinding spell was going to last long enough. she was going to punch him in the face when he suddenly fell on his face, looking over at neyvahn and folding her arms. she looked at him rather playfully. "you know, I was doing just fine on my own" she before picking him up by his hair and slamming his face back down into the pavement one final time, the guy laid passed out on the floor all while not breaking eye contact with Ney, just to prove her point. 

now there were five unconscious wizards laying in the street. The king, and his 3 knights. She turned to look up at Ney, her heart sank at how bad he looked from being so badly beaten up...she didn't care about herself right now, Ney looked like he was on the verge of passing out. She ran to his side, just in case. "Im not waiting for the rest of these guys to show up...you need some rest before we take anyone else on" she said almost motherly to him, offering to let him lean on her while they searched for a motel or someplace they could go.

Neyvahn shook his head. "Not just yet. We need to go back to the chapel and report back to Mr. Triaz," he took a deep breath, spitting out a little blood. "He'll want to know that we handled the situation." The two of them hobbled off towards the ceremony, leaving behind the unconscious delinquents. However, Neyvahn stopped next to Conner. His left hand was bleeding profusely, and he was going to bleed out in a few minutes if nothing was done. Neyvahn bent down and rerouted some of his energy from healing himself to healing Conner's stub of a hand. After 30 seconds or so of focusing, Neyvahn was able to heal up the top layers of skin to keep it from bleeding anymore. He doesn't want to be responsible for murder.

After he was confident that Conner wouldn't die, he stood back up with a little struggle and they continued towards the chapel. The ceremony was probably close to over. Hopefully the ruckus didn't interrupt anything. Rei helped Neyvahn walk towards the chapel, down the main street leading to the front entrance. After an exhausting mission, Neyvahn was ready to officially finish it and take a week-long rest. He still can't believe he talked himself into taking this job. Whatever, too late to complain now. It seemed like the groom and the bride just left, and everybody was leaving for the reception. Neyvahn smiled, taking a slow, deep breath. "Those two better be happily married. If not, then this job was shit." He heard a snicker from Rei as they made their way closer to the chapel. Suddenly, they spotted Mr. Triaz chatting among others in tuxedos and dresses. He had a relieved smile on his face, happily laughing along. It was nice to see a more joyful expression on the man's face. In comparison to before they started the job, he looked absolutely plagued with worry. Now? He seems happier than ever.

He turned his head and saw the two of them approaching, his eyes suddenly widening. It was only then that Neyvahn realized how torn up he must have been. Cuts and bruises everywhere on his body, ripped and mangled armor, and a nasty burn right on his face. He must look like he came back from a war, barely surviving with his life. I guess you could say that half of that was true. "Oh heavens! Are you two alright!?" he panicked, running over to the two. The guests behind him seemed offended for a second before seeing Neyvahn and Rei. Glad they understood. Mr. Triaz quickly pulled a handkerchief from his suit and wiped a little blood off of Neyvahn's face. "We're fine, Mr. Triaz," Neyvahn said as he gently pushed the man's hand away. "Did the wedding go well?"

Mr. Triaz nodded his head. "Yes! No one interrupted their vows or walked in uninvited, but what happened to you two?"

Neyvahn held the wound in his shoulder with his right hand. "As you predicted, Conner Roseheart attempted to crash the wedding. Him and a few of his accomplices attacked us, but we were able to subdue them. Unfortunately, we weren't able to stop them from causing damage to the street. We're sorry."

"Oh don't worry about that! Damages to buildings are repairable, but the human heart is much harder to mend. As promised, you kept anyone from crashing the wedding, and for that I'm grateful." Mr. Triaz bowed to the two of them gratefully. Neyvahn smiled at the show of gratitude. This man truly was pure, only wishing the best for his family. Neyvahn could learn a thing or two from him.

Rei and Neyvahn bowed respectfully in return. "Of course, Mr. Triaz. Now before we go, there's one more piece of information that you should know." Still using Rei as a supporter, he pointed to the street where they were attacked. "Conner Roseheart and three of his accomplices are unconscious on that street. I suggest you contact the Rune Knights and bring the four of them in under arrest. They are very dangerous, and cannot be trusted to handle their abilities responsibly."

Mr. Triaz looked over to where Neyvahn pointed, already seeing some of the damage caused by Conner. A dumpster was flung against the wall of a building, cracking the face of it. He shuddered a little before turning back to the two. "I will do that. Thank you so much! I cannot thank you two enough for what you did for my Sophie!

Neyvahn bowed his head. "We did what we could, Mr. Triaz." And with that, the two of them started heading back into town. Hopefully they could find a place to hole up in while they recovered. In their current condition, getting back to Lavantir Port City would be too difficult. Neyvahn looked back at the chapel to see Mr. Triaz talking with a few people. Hopefully he would take their advice and have the Rune Knights arrest the four wizards responsible for the damages nearby.

Suddenly, Neyvahn saw someone jump over a group of plants arranged around the chapel, running right towards them. "Oh great..."

The member 'Neyvahn Keyvolo' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Even though Neyvahn was the one critically injured, he seemed to be the one who did most of the talking while they talked to Mr. Triaz. But as they began walking away in hopes to find a place to stay for the night, Rei saw a head peak out of the flowers in front of the chapel. Then what seemed to be a young lad rushing towards them with a battle cry. 

"Oh great..." she heard Neyvahn say as he was leaning on her shoulder. She made eye contact with his blue eyes, and he immidietly understood, and got off her shoulder and leaned against a small tree next to them while Rei popped her neck. She could see the second guessing in the probably fourteen to fifteen year old's eyes as his run slowed and his cry stopped. It was a little too late not to get hurt though. he was basically standing right in front of her, she just looked down at him with a smirk expression. "e-eh... t-truce...?" Rei raised an eyebrow at him. was this kid for real? he didn't expect to just jump out of the bushes charge towards her, then raise the white flag. she just kicked him in the nuts, while he was bent over knee'd him in the stomach punched him in the face and kicked him to the ground. since all the guests were outside as the reception was ending, they turned to her all looking quite alarmed. The boy was unconscious in the grass, she looked up and saw two other boys probably also about the same age behind the same hedge. After giving them a simple glare, they jumped away screaming in retreat as they ran off the chapel grounds. "serves'em right!" she said while shaking out her one wrist that wasn't broken, before looking back at the horrified guests staring at her. 

She waved awkwardly at them, knowing that most of the guests present had no idea why Rei and Neyvahn were present. "its alright everyone! i'll explain later..." Mr. Triaz called out to everyone. They all looked really confused at him, but quietly went back to their small talk after a while. "thanks" Rei smiled at Mr. Triaz who smiled back at her. "don't worry about it! you two really should get some rest. I'm figuring it would be a burden to give you the money right at this moment... so how about, you come see me in about a week's time at my home. its just up the city a ways from here." he put his hand on her shoulder gently, as Neyvahn switched from the tree and came back to leaning on her for support instead. "That sounds great, we'll see you then!"

And with that, Rei carried Neyvahn around Rosegarden, she could see him getting more and more tired as they walked the streets. despite his protests, she refused to let him walk any longer. she lifted him onto her shoulders, carrying him on her back as she felt him lay his head down on her shoulder. she had asked a few people for directions to a near motel, and after an hour or so of endless walking... she finally walked into a small motel, and set Ney down on one of the lobby couches while she went to talk to the front desk.

The lady looked at her a bit frightened, but Rei ignored it. "so... I just need a room, anything will do." she said, the young lady swallowed, before turning around to a drawer behind her and pulling a key out of a small slot that was labeled 27. She scooted the key across the table, and Rei took it in her hands. "S-second floor... should be the sixth or seventh door to your left..." she said quietly. "thank you" Rei nodded her head at the girl, before taking the key and going back to pick up neyvahn who could barely even keep his poor eyes open. She carried him up a painful flight of stairs, and found the room number, opened it and shut it behind them. she switched on the light, seeing two beds with a dresser and a lacrima screen. with a bathroom on the far side of the room by the door.

she laid Ney down on the bed, and took a second to look him over. she needed to get him in the bath to clean out his wounds... she, rather awkwardly, began taking off his armor and whatever else he had on. leaving whatever underwear he was wearing on. Now that she could really look at him, god... he looked horrible.

Neyvahn groaned tiredly, stretching out his arms. His magic began to kick in, regenerating his body now that he was resting. It felt good, although strange, his skin and tissue shifting around, closing up wounds and piecing back together bones. Rei continued to walk around with him on her back. It must have been difficult, him being taller and heavier than her. Nonetheless, she marched on without complaining or faltering.

Neyvahn sighed, happy that he could finally relax. With the magic beginning to repair his deepest wounds, he fell asleep. He dreamed of the fight, except this time, he could move freely and powerfully. His speed was unmatched, and everything around him moved at a pace he could sleep to. His attacks were powerful, and his magic was relentless. The fights ended almost immediately as his enemies fell unconscious, one after another. No mutilating wounds, just bruises. Neyvahn felt himself laugh in a bubbly tone at the power he felt. He could only imagine what things he could accomplish with such power. The things he could do to fix the violence and the struggle around him. It was all so inspiring.

Neyvahn felt himself fall for a split second, before landing on something soft. He struggled to open his eyes against the sudden light, only seeing what looked like the ceiling of a room, but he had no idea where he was. Rei probably handled things and found them a place to crash. Hopefully it didn't cost too much. Neyvahn would rather spend the jewels on equipment and weapons. He doesn't want a repeat of what happened. Neyvahn stretched like a cat, his bones feeling refreshed and newly repaired. However, something still felt off, like something was missing. His sensitive skin seemed to shiver under the lack of the security of his armor. It almost felt like the only weight he felt was the soft surface beneath him. Neyvahn's eyes started adjusted to the light, allowing him to notice the room around him.

It was a cheap motel room, with plain walls and a wooden floor. He laid on one bed of two in the room, each one with relatively comfortable blankets and sheets. Opposite of the door, there was another that lead to a bathroom. Neyvahn's eyes fully adjusted to the light to see Rei standing at the edge of the bed with what looked like a piece of armor, his armor. It was the burnt chestplate, charred and darkened by the fireball he was hit with. Neyvahn looked at her confused, before piecing together what was happening. He looked down to see all of his armor and all but his underwear taken off and placed into piles on the other bed. Neyvahn's alarms instantly went off.

He quickly pulled himself up, sitting down on the bed. "W-what the hell are you doing!?" Neyvahn panicked, trying his best to cover himself up. Heat rose to his cheeks as he looked to Rei.

"A-AH!" Rei squealed as she suddenly dropped the piece of armor she was holding as she fell backwards, landing flat on the creaky hardwood floor. She scrambled to pick up the armor and place it gently on the other bed. "i-it's not what you think!!" she squeaked, her own face turning as pink as her hair. "I-I was going to put you in the bath and was off all the dirt and clean off your wounds!! I swear, that's it!" she played with her hair nervously that was still down due to her not being able to have a replacement hair tie to tie her hair back with. She looked over at neyvahn as he tried to move his legs off the edge of the bed to stand, "I can do that myself-" he added as he tried to put pressure onto his feet, but was forced to sit down with a painful groan. There was a short silence before she saw him nod in agreement with her offer, as she carried him on her back to the bathroom, and gently placed him down in the small tub. 

The bathroom was pretty small... but they could work with it. She turned on the warm water to a good tempurature as the water began to make the room steamy. there were a few soaps and small bottles of shampoo and conditioner left in the shower for them to use. As the water began to fill the tub, Rei got a paper cup from the coffee machine so she could pour water over Ney. She took a nervous breath as she dipped it into the water, and poured it over his head. watching his usually wild gray hair suddenly flatten to his head. she sat on the edge of the tub, and grabbed the small bottle of shampoo and began to knead it into his wet hair. She took the suds that were in his hair and gently ran her hands across his face, she was trying her best not to make this awkward but... there was no way it could be helped. 

she washed off his face by pouring the cup of water down it, leaving the suds in his hair to sit for a little while as she grabbed a bar of soap and rubbed it between her hands. With the suds, she began to rub his shoulders. she felt him wince away with the pain in his injured one... "s-sorry.." she muttered quietly. trying to keep her face from turning any pinker. Which of course it got worse, as she rubbed soap all over his chest and torso. She tried to hide it best she could, because she was doing it because she cared about him after all. 

She finished cleaning off his upper body, his legs were in the water so they weren't very dirty... most of his bad injuries were up higher though. so she simply rubbed soap on them and had him place them back in the water. 

She finished off by running the warm water through his hair slowly, as to make it as least painful as possible for him. she really enjoyed it, just seeing him looking better with just the dirt off of him. 

She took a deep breath and grabbed a towel off the wall and began to let the water drain after she was finished, and started to dry off his hair for him, then wrapped the towel around his shoulders. "feel any better...?" she asked quietly.
