sixteenth rune :: death

 [Koltira has waited for and wanted this moment ever since the Light-forsaken castle stole him away from Andorhal.  The battle today is not like the last attempt; this time Arthas is separated from his pack; this time his demon-woman will not come to rescue him.  This time Koltira will not relent until either he or Arthas lies defeated and broken on the ground.

The others have argued for redemption.  The woman, Jaina Proudmoore, maintains her faith--to little good, in Koltira's mind.  She is not the only one who seems reluctant to deliver swift justice upon Arthas, however, and as Koltira draws Byfrost from his back he considers the great irony of the situation.  The castle took him from imprisonment at Sylvanas's hands, but here, in this time and reality, she is one of the few who understands that Arthas must not be afforded mercy.  The traitor prince has done nothing to deserve such tender consideration.  If Koltira could, he would destroy Arthas permanently; obliterate him; annihilate him.  

Such options were, unfortunately, not available to him in Paradisa.  Still, their plan would ensure deep suffering on Arthas's part, and Koltira supposes he can live with that.]

[Danny was starting to get a distinct sense of deja vu. Creepy knight on an even creepier horse? Check. Army of zombies? Check. If Pariah Dark showed up he was going to scream. In the meantime he launches himself into the air and fires off a large ball of ice energy at the zombies, intending to trap them in a massive block of ice.]

What do I do?! What do I do?! Eeeh.

[And it's at this point that he reaches into his pocket, wiggles around for something and comes up with Eustace's old, beat-up pickup truck. This works. He'll just be diving into the driver's seat (how he sees over the wheel and manages to step on the pedals is something no one needs to know) and throwing it into drive. If anyone would like to hop on, now's your chance.]

GET YOUR BUFFS HERE

[ Seeing Arthas gets his blood boiling, of course, but he tries to focus. As soon as battle is apparent, Jr. is going to be casting the supportive ether spells he'd mentioned in Sylvanas' post, at least on the ones who didn't speak out against it. It will take nearly a minute for him to cast everything, but he's far back enough to be safe, and by the time he's done everyone's acquired speed, strength, and accuracy boosts.

Any de-buffs are held off for now, at least until they can get closer to Arthas. He'll be sure to be shooting up some zombies soon enough. ...And honestly, if Courage is really doing that, Jr. is totally hitching a rude in the back. He can easily make the shots with his handguns. ]

[He's staying way far away from that vehicle, and that horrible ice power being thrown around. He'll be running straight for the upcoming undead mob. Any that will get hit by his blade will be doing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIIOa-NOxWY&feature=related)]

[Did that dog just pull a car out of its pockets

From a distance, he'll be shooting at the undead mob with his solar gun while he has the light to recharge.]

[Yes. Yes, he did. Courage catches sight of Jr in the rearview mirror and shrugs]

The things I do for love.

[He floors the gas pedal and the truck shoots forward. When he drives smack into one of the zombie creepy things, he screams, jumps and hits the radio button. All at once. Enjoy the soothing sounds of music as they are belted for all and sundry to hear (http://youtu.be/nzY2Qcu5i2A)]

[Ignoring what seems to be nonsense in her eyes, Sylvanas looks to her sisters, feeling confidence in what was left in her heart, now that she knows all too well that she has both of them at her side once again.

Light, it had been years since she felt such overwhelming pride. The Second War was their moment of glory, aiding the humans against those who dared threaten them. And now, here, in this accursed world, against all that tore them apart, they stand together.

As she reaches to nock an arrow to her bow, she speaks.]


Sisters. So long as we stand together, there will be nothing that will ever defeat us.

Though we may be brought down to the most dire circumstances, our courage and strength will forever carry on our name, spiting all who dare mock us with their threats and their pitiful impression of might.

In spite of this world and all its suffering, I am grateful for it, for this very moment we are about to secure. Together, we shall laugh in the face of the one who tore our brethren, our home, asunder...

And it is he who shall fear the name of Windrunner.

[And she'll raise her bow.]

Join me, sisters, in this time of retribution.

[It had been so long since Alleria had been with her sisters like this. Years. And for Sylvanas, even longer. And for Vereesa, longer still.

If there was a single thing about this place that was not steeped in misery and suffering and anguish, it was the simple fact that they were allowed to be together again.

That they could enact their vengeance together.

Grip tightening on her bow, Alleria shifts her attention from picking off the ghouls, nodding to her sister while keeping her eyes on the battle.]


As one, we will be an instrument of justice.

[And she slips an arrow into her bow.]

[There was not a single other moment in which Vereesa had been more proud.

To stand beside her sisters, united together in battle, was something she had dreamed of since childhood. Fate had divided them, but Paradisa had brought them together.

And it was here that they would make him pay for the tragedy that had befallen their family, ripped them apart and kept them so divided. He would pay for the sins committed upon countless others, upon her kin and upon her kind.

Vereesa casts glances to her sisters, nodding, reaching for her arrow and bringing it forward at the ready.]


United in this moment, as we should be. [Narrowing her eyes, and lowering her voice] As we always should have been.

As we will continue to be.

[And although the serious expression never seems to leave Sylvanas' face, as per her usual, battle-hardened facade, she cannot help but allow the edges of her lips to curl as she pulls her arrow back.]

May our aim be true.

[And the arrow is released in a swift motion. It's coming for you, Arthas.]

[One by one, ghouls begin to fall to the assault before they reach their assailants. Still more rise as Arthas sweeps Frostmourne in a forward arc in front of him, calling swift reinforcements to replace what he had lost.

One, two, three arrows embed themselves in saronite though all it seems to do for the time being is anger the commander. His cast is interrupted and Invincible is forced to bare the weight of the blow dealt to his master. The horse dips slightly, but remains airborne a few feet above the ground.

Forward the ghouls charge again, seeking to leap on top of the vehicle charging toward them to pull the heroes from it with sharp claws. Oh, and their breath?

Positively putrid.

Still more struggle to overwhelm Koltira and his new army, and another group seeks vengeance on the elf sisters three. Arthas remains in the back, searching for a target. Koltira will reach him soon -- and so he must make his decision quickly.]

[This is just ..... nasty. Arthas, your friends need a SHOWER! Gosh!

Ino will be off to the side, sort of -- she's using the soap wrapper that Arthur lent her so that she can't be seen. We wouldn't want the healer of the group taken out first! She'll be discreetly sending some exploding tags out into the crowd of zombies to aid the others, quickly changing her position after she's thrown it in, in case Arthas happened to notice a few slips of paper flying around and where they might have come from.

Fortunately, though, once she makes them go off, it doesn't matter where she's located, just that more zombie heads are a-flyin' ♥ Based on where the explosions went off, it is deeeefinitely looking like she tried to help clear a path towards Arthas]

[Hinata is in the thick of it. For the most part. With her byakugan activated, she's doing her best to make sure any undead minions don't make it to any of the ranged fighters or sneak up on any of the closer-ranged ones.

Keeping to a slight crouch to be at a good height for this, she weaves in and out and away from opponents after delivering only a few soft chakra-laced blows to their thighs, knees or lower torsos rendering them incapable of walking. On more than a few, she's slipped her own exploding tags on them. When she activates them, it's a neat little circle trap that, admittedly, really only finish off the ones she's already incapacitated. But at least it's a little more help in not having to focus on Arthas' friends.

[Danny flies around the attacking force in a dizzying combination of speed and turns, peppering the entire area with explosive blasts of green energy. Occasionally he takes the time to snap off a witty one liner as a distraction.]

[identity profile] excalibured.livejournal.com 2011-08-13 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll still be cutting down the ghouls, which no matter how many Arthas calls to replace them, in the face of a sword that causes them to explode with the barest of cuts, they don't hinder him for long. Like Koltira, Arthur will be making a beeline straight for Arthas]

[As the light of the day begins to vanish, Django charges his energy one last time before putting his solar gun in its holster and bringing out the regular ammo guns. He's practiced, so now he can make strategic shots in the middle of the waves to form gaps]

[identity profile] variare.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ As the truck speeds around, and after Jr. is done telling Courage to TURN THAT SHIT OFF, he takes note of the Windrunners' position and their assailants before noting Arthur and Koltira's positions.

He gives a sharp smack to the back window to let Courage know he's getting off. Right as they reach the center of the mob, at least in regards to Arthas and the two men gunning for him, he holsters his gun and grabs the edge to vault out, landing in a roll smack in the center of his destination.

While Jr. had been sure to calculate everyone's position from the truck, it was difficult to know where Ino was, so if the sudden red shimmer surrounding his body isn't enough of a clue, he's going to shout out a quick warning to his own allies. He can't risk naming her specifically. ]


Clear out!

[ Mere moments after, the energy spreads out in an explosion raw enough that any undead caught in its' path literally disintegrate, leaving Jr. crouched in the center of a near perfect blast radius. And of course, now, there's a clear beeline for Koltira and Arthur. Go go go, super sword fighters! ]

[identity profile] loveablecoward.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Courage tries to shut it off. He really does. But in his panic he only switches radio stations. If the truck isn't blown up, this battle's gonna have an entire playlist. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99j0zLuNhi8)

One of the ghouls tries to get at him through the passenger door window. Courage shrieks and nails it with a TV, which switches on to its own battle scene upon landing safely on the ground. A cartoonishly large cannon fires and the cannonball actually shoots
out of the TV, taking off several zombie heads with it.

Courage doesn't notice this as he's still screaming and clutching the wheel like a lifeline.

[well that (http://paradisa.livejournal.com/13529372.html?thread=822353180#t822353180) was a surprise. No matter, he still had a lot of bullets. If things looked like it was going to get out of their control, then he'd go join them and help melt some of that ice.

But for now he's providing room for those close ranged fighters, especially to Jr. while he's momentarily vulnerable]
