Avalon Academy: Tales of Sorcerers(Open RP)

[Zorolo]

Zorlo's knelt down and took a runner stance. "I see... I'm not sure where this will take me... but..." Zorlo stated as his eyes turned into serpent-like slits. "Whatever you say, little it. Still, maintain the course... and I might save that human... what was its name... I can't recall and its pissing me off!" Zorlo yelled as he burst forwards. Streamers of green flames trailed his feet as he followed the path, leaving scorch marks in the golden road. He wasn't sure where this was leading, but his bloodlust and ambition had consumed him. Now it was time to kill some people.

[kai the pkk]

Tatsumi: great I'm supposed to follow the swordsman right?! ( he removes his glasses as his eyes change and he removes his blazer and uniform tie as he unbuttons the top 2 buttons of his shirt ) no holding back.. ( he begins to run as he catches up to zorolo and he's able to keep pace) better make sure this guy doesn't go overboard

[GamerKale]

Zorlo almost immediately outpaced the yellow bricks appearing in his field of vision. Son of a witch. Ok, I can work with this, just need to send him on a merry chase. He motioned for a pixie, and then whispered to it, "When the green one has run past the river, tell him to kill the flames and come back to the water." Auroch blew the pixie off on it's mission to try and reel Zorlo in before he got them all killed by leading the enemy directly to the tunnel entrance. How does he have so much energy left after that? Auroch breathed out, "Kanna, Ted, when we hit the riverbed we'll be heading up it a couple hundred meters before turning off. The rocky ground should make tracking us more difficult. Especially since they'll be chasing after his flame trail."

[kai the pkk]

Tatsumi: ( he continues to keep pace with zorolo as he looks to see the flame trail) this is idiot is leaving a trail for them to follow! what do you think your doing! Your leaving behind a trail what if the enemy follows it! turn off the flames! ( he sees Aurochs pixie at this point the two were coming close to the river)

[Zorolo]

(Revel in the newness of the coolest two French guys in history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5PRj7KPkE

And its oddly thematically appropriate.)

"And? This is the rule of the universe... the weak perish and the strong live," Zorlo stated as he looked with annoyance at Tatsumi. "And you, human, are getting in my way," Zorlo stated as he skidded to a stop and the flames ceased from under his feet.

"But I guess you have a point, human. That girl and those two pieces of armor probably would be slightly more valuable to me alive than dead," Zorlo said as he stumbled slightly. "Dammit... I used too much power already... still, I can't be stopped. I think it stills me to save it... I can't wait to finish fulfilling this stupid blood debt so it can be done with," Zorlo stated as he started forwards, a semblance of sanity returning to his eyes.

As Zorlo passed through the river and reached the other side, he paused. "Okay breastplate, where to next? I've got the shield with me... How are the helmet and the girl doing?" Zorlo asked as he continued along. For now, he had to regain some strength and prepare for battle. Oh this was gonna be so fuggin' cool!"

[kai the pkk]

Tatsumi: so you are capable of common sense you shouldn't push your self so hard ( after he notices zorolo regain some of his strength as he jumps across the river using his wind as he follows along) other then the little fire display we made it here without any problems.

[Zorolo]

"WHy not? Unlike your kind, no one will miss me when I die. After all, I"m already tainted as far as elves are concerned, and humans don't accept my kind willingly," Zorlo stated as he spun his sword in his hand idly. "Being alone is the only thing I can rely on. If it weren't for the fact I owe that one human a debt for its kindness... and not the one we're answering to or you... the other one... it might have introduced itself, but I can't recall... I doubt I'd be at all inclined to save this hellhole. Well, I guess I can't be a chooser in this event. Let's finish doing what we can..."

[Kaori]

Soldiers began surrounding the academy, students and teachers alike were looking out the windows, they rolled in tanks and other auxiliaries, they began setting up turrets and cannons,their leader, Colonel Sergei Gurlukovich, made an announcement, "listen well, people of Avalon, we are soldiers of the Belkan federation, you are now our prisoners, until the Kingdom of Weisshaupt gives into our demands, we shall be taking everybody in this school hostage! Anybody who tries to leave will be shot, anybody who tries to fight will also be shot! Do us all a favor and stay inside, that will be all.", many of the students and teachers now murmured, some of them even cried, but they knew full well that they don't stand a chance against the numbers of the soldiers.

"Tell me again Tovarich, how exactly are we going to fight off a whole army, clay soldiers are no good against modern weapons" asked Theodore to Auroch.

"need to keep swinging" said Scarecrow, she swung and zipped by many trees, but suddenly, the noise coming from her 3DMG, suddenly died out, "BOLLOCKS!" she yelled as she fell, "out of gas" she muttered, but she didn't need it any more, for she saw a huge white wall in the distance, the white line, she began running.

[GamerKale]

Auroch raised an eyebrow at Theodore's question. "Ted, remember how people keep saying I'm crazy?" He turned away, "Also, I can manipulate all types of magic do you really think a crazy person would have such a boring imagination?" He turned up the river, headed up a couple hundred yards, the brick road reappeared in Zorlo's field of vision and linked him back up with the group just before they turned off the river's stones. All of the pixies started appearing around Auroch, landed on his ears for a moment before disappearing again, and then he walked past a fairly ruined red tower to a gnarled old tree a little ways into the forest. His hand became a rainbow of color as he placed it on a knot of the tree and the trunk opened up. "Everybody down. We're almost there." The tunnel was dark, but the pixies lit the way. Eventually Auroch stopped moving, but everybody else had walked past a portion of wall with two handprints at about four feet. "Guys, over here." A complex magic circle appeared on Auroch's hand and he placed it in the right handprint a second later he used a spell to shove the "door" inwards. When everybody was through he shoved the three feet of solid rock back in place. "Welcome to my weekend home. I've been coming here every weekend for the past six months." Protective magic sigils and circles were etched on the walls, ceiling, and floor began to glow.

The chamber was wide, almost as big as a football field, and inside of it were six dozen terracotta soldiers armed with a range of weapons, but mostly machine guns. And behind them were a half dozen Incoruptus sized soldiers. And behind that there was an even larger one that bore the spitting image of the black rite that took Auroch's arm, Exodia. "I took a lot of inspiration from my dreams for these guys. They're pretty durable to begin with and they're all enchanted with divine and earth magic so that they regenerate from damage quickly. They have two modes of fire, Darkness and explosive bullets. They all carry a white key as well in case they're engaged in melee or I need to put up a barrier. They can fly short distances to get past defenses or they can self destruct to take out more hardened targets, like bunker walls or tanks. And this one I'm most proud of, they can use the ambient water in the air to atomize incoming gunfire. They're made of earth so they don't burn well nor do they conduct electricity. If water is used to cut them apart or turn them to mud they simply reform, if you freeze them well they thaw out very quickly. And if others try to use earth magic on them directly, well they have to get past the wards I've worked into them to do that." Each soldier had a name and date of completion on it.

"The six Generals don't actually work. They need an exponentially greater amount of lacrima and mana charge than the little guys thus I can't power them." He shrugged, "Anyways they each have an elementally inspired anti-armor weapon. I haven't exactly field tested any of them since I can't power them, but the theories supporting them are sound." Auroch notably didn't say anything about presumably Field Marshall Exodia. He took off his jacket, drank a potion, and knelt before the army. "I'm going to start waking them up and charging them so that we can be ready to move as soon as Scarecrow gets back with the army. So make yourselves comfortable. If you want to help, just place a hand on my shoulder and I'll siphon some power from you." There was a keg of water, a stove/oven, an ice box that had some meat, cheese, and bread in it, stacks of books, and a handful of cots lied upon the wall. That was about it in the way of amenities. As Auroch's chanting went on tendrils of magic could be visibly seen running from him to each of the terra cotta soldiers as he slowly transferred power to the sliver of lacrima that made up each core in order to bring them to life.

Even if they worked like Auroch said they would, it was hardly a fighting force large enough to take on the army outside, hence why his plan hinged on Scarecrow getting an army of their own, his main goal was to use his force to retake the main buildings and prevent any more casualties to the students and staff. If he could somehow figure out how to get the generals powered up and operational then maybe they could really do some damage, but that seemed unlikely.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo was hesitant at first. He didn't want to enter into the room. Immediately, he bit his lip until his blood began to drip on the ground. "Atma... Asura..." Zorlo whispered as elven runes began to spin around the exposed portions of his skin, save for his face. HIs eyes widened before his pupils turned into slits again and energy began to seethe from his body. As the runes stopped and lined up, what seemed to be thorny, emerald green vines slowly expanded down from his forehead down the sides of his nose and along the sides of his face before uniting at his chin.

The raw power in this room and the unorthodox, at least to Zorlo, wards had quickly made his seals slowly give way... that and years of tinkering with them. They had been engraved into his flesh... but in a few moments, they were rendered worthless with the formation of Zorlo's blood tattoos. Zorlo fell to one knee as his body began to steam, but little else. Zorlo blinked as his eyes returned to normal, but the images thorny bramble that covered his face hadn't vanished.

"Eh..." Zorlo said as he ran his hands over his seals and started them up again. Slowly, the tattoos of emerald blood disappeared back into the swordsman's flesh as he winced. "Stupid seals... why did they go wild...?" Zorlo asked with a sigh as he knelt down. "I may be a mozoku... but that won't define me..." the swordsman stated as he laid down. "I need to rest... those stupid seals are painful to restart and take a lot of energy. I'll be ready sometime soon... just... a few minutes..." Zorlo said as he closed his eyes.

(Z's quick translation:
Atma: The soul
Asura: A demon in Hinduism of the demonic realm
Mozoku: One who has demonic blood in their lineage.)

[nekoryuuha]

((Sorry for taking so long. Seems like every time I wanted to post, I either had to do something or had to catch up on 4-8 posts.))


As Auroch sat infusing the terracotta soldiers with power to awaken them and Zorlo collapsed to rest off to the side, a tired Kanna dropped to her knees to sit down and watch from a different side. It hadn't helped her that her Curse had acted up twice now on her. "Sun & Wood Sign: Photosynthesis 'A'." Once more, the Sun-like Light shone down on & around the Hetero-chromatic Elf as it greatly sped up the replenishment of her physical and Magical energies. "...so, this is it...?" she said more to herself then anything as she sat there.

After five or ten minutes of resting, light shone down around Auroch. There was a touch on his back as Kanna lightly rested against him, back-to-back, letting him siphon from her as he wished while she looked to the others and wrote in her Grimoire. Mozoku... Rather tame.... Probably strong...

[GamerKale]

Auroch leaned against Kanna, she was soft and warm and the ground was hard and cold, it was nice. The soldiers required all three types of ARMs, Dark, Divine, and Elemental to charge them and he was the only one here who could do that and the longer he charged them the longer they could fight. He smiled, on the inside, as he remembered something, it had been a year ago when he was in hospital, with an injury that resisted all types of magical healing, and Kanna had come to visit him.

"Look Kanna, I'm just like you now." Half his body had been scorched black at the time but he had been grinning. That was also the day he found out that he had a sponsor, the blast from Exodia had left him in a coma for the two weeks leading up to that point so he never had a chance to actually see them, but they had arranged for treatment, delivered some books to him so that he would have something to do once he woke up, and got him a magical fake eye that looked just like his real one.

[Kaori]

((I apologize in advance to Gamerkale for what I'm about to do))
"what are we going to do?" asked a teacher to another, all the teachers and students were out in the courtyard, in front of them stood Bernhard, "you will all stay here, now, according to some of you, there are some students on the loose, now, till we find them, you are all staying here, the soldiers will watch over you all just to make sure" she said, "come Inghild" she commanded to her armed subordinate, the two of them left the teachers and students, Inghild's radio then produced a sound, "Irisdina, Inghild, we have located them, they are split into two groups, one group is in the forest in some old tunnels, and another two are on a river, which should we pursue?", "neither, bombard the ones in the forest, bury them alive, as for the two, let them flee, it will be too late for them to get help once we've destroyed the academy" she said.

BOOM! Came a noise from above, "They're bombing us!" Said Theodore, the explosions shook the room, causing parts of the ceiling to crash down and destroy some of the clay soldiers, Auroch and Kanna were still where they were and Theodore saw they were about to be crushed, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" he screamed, but as instead of the chunk of ceiling crushing them, it stopped moving, in fact, it appeared time had stopped, in front of him floated a white figure, a phantom, it then asked him, "Do you wish to use your power now? Master?" Theodore paused, then nodded, "Very well, my master" said the phantom, a gauntlet materialized in Theodore's left hand, and a small sword on his right, "O Wizel, white warrior, wielder of the ancient sword, grant me your power. Verto!" He chanted as he inserted the sword on a slot on the gauntlet, he began to change, his whole body was being enveloped by a large suit of armor, he had become, the white knight.



"Look out!" shouted Theodore as he used his shield to bash away the debris that nearly hit Auroch and Kanna, "We need to get out of here! Before we get buried alive!" added Theodore.

[Zorolo]

(Actually, methinks the whole group regrouped where the Clay Soldiers were, but a distraction is good enough. :3

And I apologize in advance for what I am about to do... but only a little)

Zorlo's eyes flickered open as he rose and looked at the white night. Zorlo's runes danced around his exposed forearms and neck as his tattoos burst from his face in emerald flames... the thorns and bramble forming again. "You too... no, that creature isn't evil... that..." Zorlo bit his lip as he drew a finger along the thorny formations on his face. "These humans are brazen... they fight with numbers and weapons where swords and armor mean nothing. Cowards," Zorlo stated as he drew his hand over his face as the flames ran down his tattoos again as the green flames danced around his hands.

"Fear... I'll make them afraid," Zorlo stated as he drew his sword and neared the rear exit of Auroch's base. "If we don't have an army, we'll just have to act like one." The strained runes around Zorlo's neck and arms spun wildly as he sighed. "I never... I don't want to become a monster... but I made a promise to myself... I can't very well turn my back on that promise now. Pity, I had hoped to do something memorable before I died~!" Zorlo said as he unleashed an unearthly roar and a pill of flames reduced the falling debris to ash (despite being stone and rock) as his runic locks stopped spinning and began to glow.

Deep, calm breaths escaped the elf's lips as he looked at Theodore and Tatsumi. "Keep them safe until whatever statues are left are ready to go... I'll distract these wimps," Zorlo stated as he leapt clean out of a hole in the ceiling and landed. "HEllo humans... die!" he said as he raised his hand and a ball of green flames struck a bomber and lit it up like so many fireworks on the fourth of July.

Another roar was issued as Zorlo dashed off from the base. He'd draw as much fire as possible. At least he could do this much...

[kai the pkk]

Tatsumi: ( he manages to look up to see the white knight and he feels nostalgic he holds his head for a brief moment) Why?.. ( he looks towards auroch and Kanna as stops the remaining of the falling debri by knocking it back up as his eyes flicker azure blue) this whole place is coming down around us and the swordsman just went off to practically fight an army!...hey Theodore! That's you in there right?! you have any idea how to get out of here?! Zorlo might be strong but he can't take on a whole army dammit I'm not gonna let any of my comrades die no matter how much a pain they are! one of us needs to go back up the swordsman or go pull him back!

[Kaori]

"I can do that Tovarich, but you all have to get out of here, first, I can smash through the ceiling, you leave at the tunnels" said Theodore, "Auroch, we don't have time, you'll have to leave your army behind!" added theodore.

[nekoryuuha]

Kanna seemed to stay calm even as the Ceiling shook apart. She remained so, recording in her Grimoire while Theodore saved herself and Auroch and Zorlo truly went berserk. That... is what I remember of a Mozoku... she thought to herself as she stood and dusted herself off. "Earth & Metal Sign 'Emerald Megalopolis'!" The Earth shook as Emerald pillars erupted to hit at shore up the roof as the cavern's roof became the same, strange emerald. "...That will hold, but only for a while without maintenance..." she said as she moved to one pillar. "Auroch... make a choice.."

[GamerKale]

"I'll be fine." Auroch stated calmly as he stared at Theodore, "Go all of you." He waved his arm and Kanna and Tatsu were flung into the tunnels. "Ted, as soon as I'm in get to work on the ceiling." The mana stopped flowing to the soldiers and they all began moving. He ran past the soldiers using their water shields for cover until he reached Exodia. The soldiers then ran after Kanna and Tatsu. He drank another potion and ran up earthen stairs to get at it's back and then placed a hand on it, he slipped inside of the giant statue. "Please don't go dark side right now." He whispered to himself as power rushed through him.

The statue's eyes turned pitch black as Auroch took control of his version of an incorruptus, then symbols and lines all over the statue started turning black. Unlike a normal incorruptus, he didn't need to summon it, it was much more durable, and also unlike a normal one this one had bee being charged with a store of magical power ready to be tapped into for months, albeit it was practically all dark. A giant slab of stone/emerald fell upon the statue's head and was shattered by the ambient power running through the war machine. "Whenever you're ready White Knight." Dark power gathered in Exodia's hands as he prepared to help smash through the ceiling.

[Kaori]

"I'm ready Tovarich" said Theodore, He bashed through the ceiling and found himself under sunlight, he then saw the tanks which were bombarding them, Theodore then charged towards them, Blocking their shots with his shield he got close enough to kick a tank, he sent it flying, the other tanks then focused their fire on both Theodore and Auroch.

"They have heavy armor" said Inghild, "I see, then let us bring forth our own" said Bernhild, she got Inghild's radio and contacted Colonel Gurlukovich, "Sergei, tell your men to ready the Gigas", "What? Why?! Don't tell me they have Incorruptus?" asked Sergei on the line, "They do, and unless you want to start losing more men, tell your men ti summon their Gigas" said Bernhard, there was a short pause, then Sergei spoke, "fine, I shall tell them" he said with a Somber voice.

As Theodore ravaged the enemy forces, he then noticed a soldier with a nervous smile on his face, he saw he was was holding something, it was a magic card, "ADVENI!" said the Soldier, the soldier then transformed into a large creature, the same size as Theodore's Incorruptus form, it looked like a hybrid of a man and a wolf, in another Soldier then drew a card as well, shouting Adveni, he turned into a monster that looked like the hybrid of a man and an eagle, the two Gigas were upon Theodore, he managed to bash away the Eagle Gigas, but found himself being attacked by the wolf Gigas.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo moved like lightning as he landed on a tank and pried open the tank before igniting everyone inside with a well placed emerald fireball. He proceeded to open up tanks like Tuna cans with his magically enchanted sword before simply cooking the residents of them without any sense of remorse or guilt. After about three, however, Zorlo landed a bit away and took a deep breath as his blood markings vanished and his runes returned to his skin. "Okay... I'm done with my Mozoku powers for now," Zorlo stated with a chuckle as he began to stealth his way through the trees and observe the battle.

"So, they have creatures as well... something tells me things are only going to get crazier. I need to rest for a few moments get some strength back... dammit..." Zorlo muttered as he looked at his sword. "Don't worry, Lumina, we're getting there... ever so slowly."
