[ENTROPI] The Attack (ALL Chars)

[warden_kun]

It had arrived in the same manner as its birth, the massive discharge of energy still smoldering the crater formed where the strike connected with the ground. Twisting and pulsing, its contained form was immediately aware of the pitiful organic creatures surrounding it, trapped like insects in a too-small hive.

It released a high-pitched roar and

This was no Man.

This hideous Thing of parasitic energy had just swallowed the lives of a handful of Drafted in mere seconds. A weaker (some would argue smarter) man would have fled in the face of this horror, pleading for sanctuary and screaming for deliverance.

Not Solomon Kane. If it was His will that he would finally perish this day, he would die in fight not flight. And mayhap take this foul creature with him.

"Out on ye, spawn of Satan!"

The wanderer levelled both his flintlock pistols, twin blasts of thunder unleashing two shots into the center of the bright mass. The power of He who had Kane's trust was encapsulated within; the damage dealt would be more than that of material pistol balls.

But he did not wait for any effects. The pistols fell even as the Puritan drew both his trusted rapier and N'longa's juju staff, bounding forward with the dire speed of a famished wolf. The divine rage that had burned within for months was free at last to mangle and slaughter this destroyer of worlds.

[warden_kun]

The projectiles seemed to part the energy only for a brief second, and then the orb reformed around the dispersals without seeming afflicted. As though to prevent further attacks, it lashed a bolt of energy at Solomon.

[puritanjustice]

Kane crossed staff and rapier before him in an instinctual attempt at warding off the bolt. It found resistance on the white sphere that suddenly materialized before him. Young Alex Noah's spell was a veritable dam keeping a roaring flood in check. But all too soon the sphere shattered under the Entropi's ferocity and battered down the extra shields Midna's gift had provided. Kane caught the very tail end of the attack

[econtra_mod]

That card might provide Kane with...temporary...protection, but that didn't mean that the weapons he came to bare on his enemy had anymore effect than a dog's teeth on a wisp of fog. The energy present in his weapons was drained away almost instantly, ripped from the weapons, at least temporarily until they could recharge their powers. The bullets and staff themselves slipped through the Entropi's form as if passing through a loose pile of sand, leaving no mark or hurt upon the whirling cloudy surface.

In response to his arrogance, the orb of darkness lashed out with lightning strikes of powerful proportions. Kane would feel the power of his card, surprisingly, slip, despite the supposed nature of its invincibility. For no it allowed him to be flung from the Entropi's form without harm as a electric flail struck him...but would it last through another attack?

Hiiragi was glad that she'd rested and recovered from her sparring match with Haseo. She wouldn't want to miss out on the action. Though she knew that this was a real battle instead of a game, she couldn't help but think of this like a boss battle in The World. Her heart raced with excitement as she sought out the enemy.

And then she spotted it - a glowing orb hurling lightning around. Even though this wasn't The World (the lack of thrumming boss battle music cinched that), Hiiragi decided to try her spells before engaging in direct battle. There was a spell that slightly lowered magic attack, and Hiiragi wanted to see if that would take some of the snap and sizzle out of the lightning. Flipping open her fans, Hiiragi concentrated, focusing her attention on the orb. "Dek Corma!" she called out, sending the spell racing towards the enemy.

[warden_kun]

The orb swung around, meeting the spell directly, if such a thing could have a front and a back. It almost seemed to taste the energy, then sucked it into itself, glowing brighter.

[peachblossomfan]

Hiiragi's eyes widened as the orb turned, seemingly unaffected by the spell. That wasn't good! Not at all! But if that was the way it was to be, then so be it. She immediately fell into a fighting stance. "Bring it!" she snarled at the Entropi.

[econtra_mod]

The dark sphere seemed only too willing to oblige.

Crackling streaks of lightning left its darkened center suddenly, three tendrils of pure energy ripping out of its inner nothingness in a blaze that could easily leave tracks of after-glow searing across someone's eyes. The triple attack bore down on Hiiragi without mercy.

Dick was knocked off his feet by the spark that had passed through his building, he had let out a yell of pain grabbing the wound on his left arm that had been absent from his body just seconds ago. The bolt had burned straight through the kelvar weave of his his suit and through the skin and muscle below, luckly it had missed the brachial artery. Gritting his teeth he ignored it the best he could, stopping the bleeding that was flowing from the wound was the first thing that came to his mind

[little_wing003]

Tim had been on his way from Om to Loh to help Quatre with Lily when the attack came. The bolts of energy passed him by harmlessly, and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the source of the attack. "Holy Hell," he shouted, cursing loudly. He began to tear off toward Loh at top speed to check on Quatre and Dick and make sure they had survived the first wave. Some hadn't--he could see charred bodies on the ground.

"Dick!" he shouted, skidding to a stop when he caught sight of him. His eyes caught on the rough bandage around his arm. "Oh, Hell--what happened? Are you okay?"

[0nightwing0]

" Been better, lets just say it was a shocking experiance" Dick breathed a silent sigh of relief at the sight of Tim, with him around he had something to fear loosing in this unknown world that he had been sucked into." I don't know what this thing is but we have to attack it if we want to find its weakness, I've studied it long enough to know there is no other option"

Dick had been holding back due to the reactions of the glowing orb. There seemed no point in attacking it if it was going to grow a little more each time, but there had to be a way to destroy it..right? Dick gripped one of his Escrima sticks in his mouth as he tightened the bandage around his forearm, a good amount of blood had seeped through but he didn't have time to tend to it at the moment.

Dick ran at the orb and leapt stabbing the end of one of his Escrima sticks into its surface in a lower area than most people had been attacking it. Somthing told him he was going to regret that move.

[little_wing003]

Tim grimaced at Dick's joke and shook his head. "How have I lived all these months without your sense of humor?" he asked dryly. He squared his shoulders in preparation for the attack and drew his staff from one of the pockets in his belt, extending it to its full length.

As Dick advanced on the Entropi, Tim followed, swinging his staff out into the Entropi next to Dick's attack, hoping that the combined effort would be more effective than a single blow.

Toshi's arm was killing him, the left sleeve of his jacket was soaked with blood. That thing wasn't what he thought the Entropi would look like, in his mind it always looked like the classic B movie alien. This was real, it was happening and he didn't know what to do.

Biting back the pain, Toshi ripped what was left of his jacket apart and did his best to wrap the wound to stop the blood. Part of him wanted to just run for it, let the magic users take care of that thing but he couldn't...it was here to kill him. No, not just him, it was here to kill Atem, Sora, Jing, Cassis, Yuuko, Zel... Suddenly, the pain and the fear didn't matter; maybe the shock or the blood lost got to him because he snapped. Gun drawn, Toshi yet out an almost inhuman scream and began firing on the Entropi. “You’re not taking my family, you son of a bitch!”

AU!Bakura > OU!Zelgadiss and OU!Ssilissa

[onlysanechimera]

Zelgadiss and Ssilissa glanced at each other as they left Ci. They'd run into each other in the hallway, and it had seemed to be a natural opportunity to join forces.

Ssil seemed to lose hope as she saw the Entropi. "How can we do anything againsst that?" the reptilian girl whispered.

The chimera's eyes narrowed. "We have to try. This time, we aren't running scared. I'm not losing any friends to this thing."

The two ended up next to Toshi. Ssil eyed the Entropi nervously, trying to work up the courage to get close enough to attack. Toshi's wound caught Zel's eye. "Dammit, I wish I could heal," he whispered. Oh, well. He could do the next best thing - and that was taking the thing down quickly.

"Source of all souls that dwell in eternal and infinite, everlasting flame of blue. Let the power within my soul be called forth from the infinite!" Zel took a deep breath, then shouted, "RA-TILT!" A rush of blue flame hurtled towards the Entropi.

Re: AU!Bakura > OU!Zelgadiss and OU!Ssilissa

[nofairtrial]

Toshi didn't even notice Zel until he spook up. The gun fire ended only a quick moment as Toshi reloaded his weapon. "It won't kill me, besides nice fucking adrenaline is keeping me from feeling it really." With his gun cocked, Toshi readied to let lose on the Entropi once more.

“If you’re friend isn’t here to fight she needs to get to the Arena, it’s the safest place we got.” Toshi wasn't trying to be mean, but right now wasn't the time to have people who couldn't fight in the way. As Zel unleashed the blue flame Toshi begin to fire.

Re: AU!Bakura > OU!Zelgadiss

[onlysanechimera]

Ssil tried to look brave. Zel shook his head. "Toshi's right, Ssilissa. You really should get out of here. You wouldn't be safe with everyone firing at it from a distance, anyway. Look, here... RAYWING!" A shield of wind surrounded her as she lifted up into the air. "That should last long enough for you to get there."

Ssil nodded, still looking worried. "All right. Um... Be careful." She zipped off, weaving slightly as she tried to get the hang of controlling the spell.

The chimera turned his attention back to the battle. "Things don't seem to be going our way much, do they?"

[lastdragonboy]

Like a man clapping his hands to squash a bug, the ball of energy that was an Entropi had killed a score of them. Just like that.

Alex Noah, whose shield had just saved his life, hadn't gotten to know any of them. Maybe some were bad people who the universe would be better off without. There was no way he could say that for certain about any of them now, much less anything at all. What he did know was that these were people. Real people who had had lives and their own stories to tell.

Entropi or no...it was going to pay.

The Dragonmaster sprang to his feet as soon as the Warden's command reached his PDA. Anger overrode his sorrow for the slain as he dashed out onto the Commons to help avenge the fallen.

And yet...Alex did not attack. Instead he clasped Althena's Sword before him, closing his eyes as the voice in his mind reached out, or tried to reach out, to an old friend beyond the stars.

Nall, if you can hear me... lend us your power. We could use it right about now.A burst of energy suddenly ripped through Alex in answer.

[econtra_mod]

The Entropi, almost seeming to spin and face the Dragonmaster, offered up the challenge the boy sought. Several threads of white-hot energy shot out at the young man as he stood waiting for a chance to attack. It seemed not to care about physical barriers, any chance of resisting the Entropi's electric flails with a shield alone, utterly impossible.

A searing crack of blazing energy was also offered to Quatre for his trouble to stop and try and warn Alex.

[lastdragonboy]

The electric fails crashed into the ground where Alex had been standing, missing him. But only because the Dragonmaster had made a leap and caught the energy blast meant for Quatre. Said blast overwhelmed the white dragon barrier surrounding himself, and boundless pain flooded every corner of his being.

The boy fell to his knees and tasted dirt, sword and shield clattering to the ground. His world faded to black as he slipped into unconsciousness...
