It was a cold and flat night without a city in sight. There was no urban clutter to hide them, or alleyways to cut through. It was just them, on the run with no defense besides their powers. They thought they were fortunate but they were horribly wrong. The murderers had found them and now there was little hope. And so they ran, little did they know the run would cost them.

Maria Juarez was tired of running. Throughout her 317 year lifespan, she spent most of it running away from the same people. At least, it made her skilled, able to scale any terrain without the slightest difficulty. Maria breathed heavily almost to the point of hyperventilation as they began to close on her. Her pupils dilated as light became less and less abundant. Suddenly, her yellow green eyes were met with many bright shining eyes of metal machines.

"By the order of the Catholic Church in Vatican City, we sentence you to death for the crimes of blasphemy and Satanic worship. Do you have any last words?" A voice asked from behind her, nearing closer and closer.

A smirk rose to her face and she tied her light brown mess of hair high atop her head. Maria growled and, within a few short moments, she was a wolf. Tackling down the figure behind her, she bit into his neck roughly and jerked her head side to side. The figure fought back, stabbing into her side with a sharp metal object. She whimpered but tore more until his life had left him. Extracting herself from his body, she growled and attempted to pounce on another member. A loud bang sounded and the beaten body of Maria Juarez lay on it's side.

"Take the body and let's leave. We'll collect our prizes later." The shooter said, throwing a picture next to her body.

The agents nodded before picking up the body and taking it to a large 18-wheeler. "Recognized Shifter number 03589, Maria Juarez has been absolved and eliminated. Any agents on her tail must contact His Holiness for a new target. That is all." Before leaving, the shooter burned the picture along with the body of the fallen agent. That night was the beginning of the revolution that would sweep the world, the War of the Immortals.

Yushino Hideki, the troubled hunter haulted but horrors of the past. Trees, the faint scent of cherry blossums in the wind. Flakes of pink scattering across the front walkway of the park where he and his family would spend every Saturday. His wife, Reiza, yellow hair. It smelt of sunflowers bathed in sweet honey, fragile, very delicate. Her roots as strong as the oldest Oak, conviction so ever apparent. Then, there was Iyana. His daughter. So young and beautiful. Her hair silk itself. Much like her parents, her favorite book was a simple one. She read her grandmothers dairy everyone. She was a destined Hunter. Maybe he knew that when it happened. Maybe that was why? If only...

pfft...pfft

The next twenty-three seconds were what some uneducated people would call, a blur. Those whom dabbled in this fantasy world could easily spot the carnage of a somewhat secret war.

1

A poor soul birst from the third story building directly above Yushino. Gun fire chased after him like hounds from hell itself. Yushino knew the set of white feathered wings of this girl instantly labeled her shamful.

2

Her drew his sword, she noticed, how couldnt she. Her instincts forced her to dive under the onslaught of bullets giving chasr behind. Formation six by the placement of the shots. Five small holes positioned at the curve of the wings and at the extender that forced them into full spread. A time of weakness if only for a second.

3

She spinned and surrounded her body with the wings. What's this? Yushino leaped into the air to meet her.

4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 13

Several exchanges of counters, assaults, and blood. Yushino sled back during the 14, 15,& 16th seconds, but recovered in time to block a kick aimed at his rib cage. By 19 he had the advantage. He took hold of her ankle, lucky for him he dropped his sword, which was in his right hand, and used his left forearm to block the kick, his right to take hold.

20

She's in the air, thrown fifteen feet into the air. She recovered by 22. It was to late.

23....

Her headless body on the ground, void of life. Yushino holding a pair if wings in his left hand and a blood coated short sword in his right.

Jace had his back pressed firmly against the wall. He had not been noticed, he was not a novice at this kind of thing. But he was still careful. The smell of burning flesh lingered still, a contant reminder of his failure each breath. He was breathing lightly to avoid the smell but his heart was accelerating. He scratched at his beard and sighed. As the figures further down the alley left he relaxed more. Not moving he shook his head in disappointment. He had been close. So close.

Slowly he walked over to the burned remains of one of the attackers. Her body however was gone. Taken. But some of her blood still remained. He kneeled down and placed a single finger in the blood.
"Forgive me Maria Juarez." He whispered almost in prayer. "Had I been faster I would have been able to help you."
"Just like all the others I could have saved had I been faster." He thought somberly to himself.
He stood up and carefully wiped the blood away. He had come to this town following the rumor of an Immortal here, and seems they had too. Doubt lingered in his mind. He could have helped. But he didn't know where the shooter was and wouldn't risk it. He had made his choice and it had cost another Immortal their lives. Jace cursed to himself silently, before making his way the opposite to how the attackers had left.

Once back into the streets he made his way over to where he was staying. It was an old style Tavern/Hotel. A good one that made enough that it didn't over charge for everything. He made his way over the bar and was greeted by the barman. He had been here a few days now and the man recognised the look that Jace got when he was bothered by something. As soon as Jace got near the barman pulled a drink out for him and gave him one of those looks that said 'You needing this'. His failure still weighing heavy on his mind Jace thanked him and he payed for the drink before going to sit down in a corner to mull over what to do next. He kept his ears alert in case another rumor appeared. He had to keep going. He had always had to keep going.

Robert Takeda was walking down the street, he was headed to his favorite Chinese restaurant, on his way a group of young individuals surrounded him. Robert asked " What is it that i can help you kids today?" that is when the kids all pulled out pipes and knives and what looked to be the leader said "you can help us by giving us all your money" Robert started to laugh and said "There is no need for that, now if you don't mind I would like to go on my way peacefully" This made the group irritated and they all started to attack. Robert just jumped over the man in front of him and continued to walk.

As Robert walked he heard a loud boom come from behind him. As he turned he saw the barrel of a handgun pointed at him. The thought of handguns made Robert loose all respect of people so he began to walk towards the man holding the gun. The man began to bark threats at Robert in attempts to stop him. Than another boom, the man had shot Robert through the chest. This really angered Robert, so he charged in and with one ax kick snapped the mans neck and nearly decapitated him. Robert than went through the circle quickly killing each and every one of the kids. when he was done he had noticed that his wings were out. luckily no one had seen him so he cleaned of the blood, his wings went back into him, and he continued to the restaurant.

Shia
The moment she and her friends entered the orphanage, a little boy flung his arms around her waist, "Shia! You're back!"

"Yup, Timmy! I'm back!" Shia hugged the little kid, and then lifted a plastic bag filled with canned food. "I have so much to tell you! But first, let me and the others prepare dinner, alright? Go call the others."

Timmy nodded in earnest. He found it easier to run in his animal form, so he transformed into a small jackal and his yowls of happiness could be heard throughout the halls. Children, some Immortal, some mortal, peeked out from their windows and under their beds. When they heard Timmy, they hurriedly put on their torn shoes and scurried towards the dining area.

It took a while for them to finish preparing dinner. By then the table had been surrounded with children, all looking up at them expectantly. Some children's feet could not even reach the floor.

"Here we go!" Shia said happily and plopped a big bowl of Spam and potatoes before each of them. Her friends smiled and said nothing as the children wolfed down the food with no heed to manners whatsoever. Shia engaged in an intimate talk with Timmy about how she kicked a soccer ball at the face of a teacher who had insulted her mothers.

When the time came for them to leave - and the children were devastated to see them go - her friend Nate promised they'd be back again soon. Shia saw some of them pressing their faces against the windows. The more they came here, the more it became difficult to leave.

The night was cool and calm. Nate stretched. Ned nonchalantly put his hands in his pockets. The rest commented on the beauty of the night sky. Before they parted ways, Shia smiled and hugged each of them, saying, "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam"



Ayumi

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ayumi had collapsed on the floor and was crying helplessly.

"Whatever is the matter, child?" Nani, a rather large yet motherly woman 500 years long dead, suddenly popped out of the ground. Her voice wheezed with long disuse and the considerable deterioration that her throat had gone through. Maggots ate through her clothes and she stank like a garbage truck, but this did not bother Ayumi.

"The-the-the mean boy threw a rock at me! WAAAH! And then he called me a freak!"

"There there." Nani patted her with bone fingers, "Calm down, dearie."

Ayumi only cried louder, "UWAAAAAH!"

A little ten year-old boy popped out of the ground. He looked like he had been hit by a bus - and probably was. He started spouting something in Chinese. Oddly enough, Ayumi understood him and pointed towards the rascal that threw rocks at her.

The Chinese boy immediately ran towards the other boy and kicked him in the-

Well, a scream of undeniable anguish reverberated throughout the neighborhood.

"Look, it's been taken cared of." Nani consoled her, "Will you stop crying now?"

Ayumi sniffled, and nodded.

"Alright! I do hope you take care of yourself, child. And please, don't call us again very soon!" Nani and the boy, whose name was Xiao Hong, disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving Ayumi alone on the street. She picked herself up and timidly made her way back home.

[Kenshiro_Blaze]

"An Immortal killing children. Isn't that a little harsh?" Above Robert, fifty or so feet on a legde was Alazus, the insane hunter with a God Complex. Black suit, black hair flowing in the currents of wind that signaled his arrival. A sword in his right and, and a gun in his left. In fact it as pointed diretl at the Immortal. Alazus grinned sadisticly before firing a single shot two feet in front of Robert in an attempt to get his attention. He'd sat back and watched him slaughter humans. Hisanger at this point was at it's limit.

"Your an Immortal. Yet with all your power you can think of nothing more to do then kill children. Your kind are sickening. no wonder I have no trouble killing you off one by one." With a quick leap Alazus somersaulted into the air in perfect form and landed 20 yards in front of Robert path. His sword gleamd in the light and the scent of blood reaked from his clothes. With smirking chuckles Alazus lifted his sword and holtered his gun.
"Let's see if I'm as easy to kill as defensive children. Robert Takeda.."

[HateSpawn98]

Walking the streets alone was dangerous enough, Asura did not care. He kept wondering around, as if he had no purpose in his life at the moment. A group of people approached him, simple as can be they looked friendly but of course, they had a gun.
"Alright, this is gonna be easy. Cough up your money, or die a quick death." One of the men said pointing there gun directly at my head. I raise my hands to put them in my pockets to grab my wallet.
"Ester Shunki" with that all the men near him fell to the ground, guns dropped and he continues to walk on his way.

Albright thought his life was over. The cold dark abyss of death was gripping his frame when several things happened. First he was not dead. Then the pressure within this set area shifted. Then finally more Immortals arrived. one even smelled of an animal. It must have bared it's fangs at the Hunter. Then he smelt Jace's scent. Finally.

Trying to lean forward Albright called to Jace for help. they need to retreat now. The bleeding in his leg hurt so badly yet Albright was constantly fighting the urge to scream out in further agony.

"Jace. We must hurry before..."

"Before what?"

Standing next to the ice imprisoned Yushino stood Hunter Alazus. Two pistols in his hand as he stared at the band of Hunters before him. Shifters, Conjerers, Seekers, even a fighter. This was going to be fun.

"Your lives are a hinderence to the progression of the human race." Two shots rang out and Yushino stood up, ice breaking away from his wrists as he did. "So please make this easy and forfeit your lives. I promise to kill you quickly with every agonizing pain receptor in your body ringing out begging me to end it." A wicked grin spread across his face before he lifted his two pistols and aimed them at Jace. Four shots rang out in his direction. Two aimed at his face and two aimed for his knees.

Charge = 175%

A lot happen and a lot happened fast. Jace was already moving as the hunter drew his pistols and the shots were luckily avoided. He had too much experience with those kind that viewed themselves above all others. They always gloated first before attcking. But as he reached the closest cover he once again realised that he had left his allies standing. His mind warned him against prolonged use of his power. Unlike the others messing with a law as powerful as gravity could cause serious problems to the earth itself. A reminder of the power that elder's used to wield. But he had little choice and though he had used more charge today then before he had to keep going.
So he thought on his feet and glanced around the corner.
"Grab him! Then run. This can't turn into a prolonged fight." He shouted to any Immortal fast enough to react. He pointed both hands forward clasped them.

Charge = 150%

Jace created a point of focus. With the centre where the two hunters and the immortal where, he created a push. A small orb seemed to float there for a few moments before it repelled them away from itself. The two hunters were pushed forward and away from Albright, and he was pushed the opposite direction. Jace ducked behind cover the moment he knew it had happened. He had called out because unlike wind based conjurers he couldn't make Albrights landing soft. It was up to someone else to do that.
After a couple of second Jace felt his head spin and realised he had gone too far. The contents of his stomach then followed the pattern. He rubbed his hand across his mouth and tried to calm his body down. Old scars were burning in protest. This day had been such a mix of luck. But he hardened himself. If he was too see her again he now had to survive more then he had ever before. Let those problems come. He was far too stubbon and old to fall just yet.

OOC: Shall make another post soon with my Hunter character.

A slightly cold burst of wind ruffled Joon's hair breaking his deep train of thought. Looking up it seemed even the sky was being pensive tonight for it sporadically shimmered with its distant stars and pearly gray clouds lazily floated in a carefree manner. Joon knew that not too far from where he was there was a soul that had all of the sudden relinquished it's flickering.

"Another has perished..."

So many things had changed so rapidly over the course of the seventy-five thousand years that Joon had agonizingly lived through. Back then much of the world was still virgin and laid vastly undisturbed by the fickle homo sapiens, who thought that human beings were only those who looked and thought like themselves. Now a days his kind, the Immortals, as the homo sapiens called them were being forced to be on a constant run in fear of being hunted like it was some kind of wild deer game. Suddenly, Joon heard a very faint rustling noise among the vegetation. The only light source that was available was the milky glow from the moon. Looking around the light penetrated Joon's eyes from a forty-five angle revealing a pair of skull in Joon's eyes demonstrating that he was no simple human. Deciding it was best to leave, Joon, quietly gathered his belongings as weapons together and headed toward the town where the fellow Immortal had been murdered.

Upon entering the city Joon felt slightly uneasy...his whole life he had mostly spent alone and seeing so many individuals up and about was not a pleasant thing. For per-cautionary methods Joon put his hoodie up tried not to attract attention to himself, but either way he held onto a pendent in which he had specifically made an alchemical seal should he need to summon the dead. As he passed by an old style Tavern, Joon sensed the presence of another Immortal and so decided to enter. Sitting a few seats away from the other Immortal, a Conjurer, Joon ordered a shot of liquor and a small entree to eat. It had been quite some time since Joon had interacted with another being let alone an Immortal. Joon let out a small sigh of relief...for some reason being next to another Immortal was a soothing thing for Joon.

[Thrasher J]

Sytiuti had entered a town in the middle of nowhere. He was quite sure that there would be no influence of the church there at all, so he entered a public establishment, a tavern. When no one had asked him what was with his eye, he knew this was a "safe" town. "Hey barkeep, can I get a burger and beer?" Sye ordered."Comin' right up."
Sye had finished his meal, it was around then he sensed a presence of another Immortal. Sye looked around and noticed a Summoner eating a small meal. "It's been a while since I've seen another. You know, you don't have to sit so far away." Sye invited the other Immortal over. If my instincts are right (and they usually are) I can trust this man.

[Valkarma]

Jace made no montion as the Bar began to fill. Night was truly rolling on and he was once again thankful that the owner kept the more...disrespectful, patrons out. It meant those in where people like him, wanting quiet and a drink, or groups out for a meal. The warmth and hum of quiet chatter against the TV were quiet homely. Something Jace found he appreciated more when it could be found in this age. His thoughts lingered on the day. At the moment he was unsure as what was the best course of action for himself. A brief flicker of intelligence told him drinking was not the answer. But as always he ignored that tricky bit of truth. Now was a time for mourning, a drink would help with that. A second would encourage it. A third would end it.

With that in mind he walked over to the bar where once again he found another drink waiting. As he handed over the money, leaving the change as a tip, he wondered if he could truly trust the man. Anyone could be on the look out for Immortal, being paid by the church. Jace however had been through that stage of paranoia. It made life hard a bitter. it was best left alone. Jace may not have been a people person, but he could tell when he had met a good, honest person. They were hard to find these days. he could trust this man.

As he sat down he noticed that area near him was more or less empty. Despite the bar filling, a lot of people avoided him. There was just one person, eating a quiet meal on there own. Yet someone recognised them and was calling them over, so they were not truely alone. Jace on the other hand felt a heavy weight for a moment. His appearance put people off him, as they felt staring would be offensive. It was good to avoid detection but sometimes it bothered him. He smiled to himself. That was the drink talking. He had only one need. To restore Immortals and allow them the place in this world that they paid dearly for. A price that kept seeming too high.

[Hollow Ichigo]

"Alazus 5 o' clock."

"Way ahead of you old timer..."

Judging by her appearance, the tone of her skin, and the color of her eyes Alazus guessed this electricity wielding Immortal was Tessie. Lucky for him he was helping an injured blind seeker, whom apparently had some skill with a sword. This in turn made their escape slow. So half himself and Yushino were blasted back by Jace's gravity Alazus back-flipped, slid to a stop on the balls of his feet, and made a mad dash for the girl and boy couple. All the while he fired 5 shots from both guns at Jace. If he knew one thing about Conjurers it was that you had to drain with dry before you had any hopes of killing them. This old dog was no different.

"Leave the children be. You fight is with me." Yushino was speaking to the remaining Immortals before him. Alazus was a cunning, and accurately deadly fighter, however he lacked discipline and that in itself caused Yushino to highly dislike him. Nevertheless, their mission was the annilation of the Immortals and Alazus was good at it. He trusted him to be able to kill a injured blind Seeker, and a weak Conjurer female. He himself had the true challenge.

"The rest of you better prepare. I will show you no mercy. Just as I never showed any of your kin before you."

[Yuuchun]

"I didn't think I'd meet such a beautiful woman like you...I want to know more about you."

Yuri laid on silk bed sheets as a much older man somewhat roughly caressed her hair. Even though the man was speaking in English he had a heavy Russian accent. Slyly smiling Yuri made her move and slowly inched on top of him as her undergarments slightly brushed his chest as she kept constant eye contact with him. She could hear his slightly altered breathing as she could got closer to him. But before he could touch her any further Yuri got up and put her robe on. From the corner of her eyes she could see that he was somewhat frustrated but still kept looking at her lustfully. Yuri walked over to the bathroom that was adjacent to the hotel suite...she lightly brushed her fingers against her own lips refreshing her make up.

Meanwhile as Yuri was away from the room the man hurriedly proceeded to rummage through her purse. He was looking for something he could hold up against her for they both knew that she was in reality just trying to gain some intel about her target and he was trying to maintain out of sight from the Catholic Church. Returning to the bedroom Yuri caught the men in the act...she slightly smirked.

"Just because you want to know more...I hate hasty guys."

Cornered he got up and sat down in the sofa that was next to the bed. Slowly his left hand tried to reach for his bag where he had put his automatic revolver in. In an flash of a second they simultaneously moved...the man pointed the gun at her but Yuri instead swiftly moved and leaned right in front of him. Vaguely smiling Yuri kissed him before leaving the hotel room. After changing clothes and gathering her belongings Yuri looked back devilishly.

"Thank you for the intel..."

As the door clicked the older man collapsed in the sofa as blood slowly trickled out from his mouth. Once more in the streets Yuri took a deep breath after the intel she had gathered she had a more accurate knowledge of where Jace was hiding; which surprisingly was not too far off from where she was. But she would need to be swift if she wanted to set up her Claymore mines in order to set up an ambush.

Meanwhile in the tavern as Joon nibbled on his appetizers noticed that a peculiar man was attempting to his attention. Putting down his food Joon looked at the man and noticed that he had different colored eyes a trademark signature that told him that man was a conjurer, an Immortal. Before he headed over to the man that was calling him, Joon placed a hand on Jace's shoulder hoping he would notice that he was not alone that he had found two of his brothers.

[Spydermonkey]

Robert saw the shot, looked up, and saw a man jump in the air and land in front of him. The man had a katana in his hand, Robert Chuckled to himself and wondered how he knew his name. He than said "These are no longer kids but empty shells whom lost their souls." Robert saw a near coming semi and started to back off. He realized the semi was still a ways away from him so he had to stall as long as possible.

"As for that duel perhaps some other time, when you have the dignity to come at me with the only weapons needed by humans, our fists." Robert than leaped onto the Back of the semi. As the semi pulled away, Robert yelled " Farewell my dear hunter, may we meet again in the afterlife." he grinned and proceeded with " Oh wait, the after life is only for those who can die."

Robert wasn't sure if he had a tracker placed on him or if he had been followed so he ditched all of his clothes, git a new suit with hat, and took a path, that no standard human could take, to the next town. But he felt he may not be up against a hunter like the ones before, no this fight was just beginning and it thrilled Robert.

The Kimakura Brothers:

Vince is sitting drinking his tea when Kisuke walks into the room drenched in blood.

Vince-- Ahh Kisuke come any closer to finding out the secret of the immortals or of the where abouts of the monster that killed our family?

Kisuke-- Nope, none at all, but unfortunately his head accidentally imploded on itself

Accidentally?

well, i didn't know my new torture machine did that to people, ha it was pretty cool though. So what do you think we should do with the body?

do what we do it all the bodies, completely obliterate them, and then get ready we gotta go get ourselves a new informant.

After the dastardly event was taken care of, they decided to go out hunting, This is when they saw a man killing some kids, though to most a gruesome act, to the Kimakura Brothers a glorious display. just when they were about to move a different man showed up, this man had a god complex, but nonetheless he too was a hunter, so they decided if he needed help they would help, but until that point they were going to just sit back and watch the show. Unfortunately the immortal decided to fight another day and ran. so the brothers decided to great this man.

when they walked up to the man he looked like a gentleman so Vince decided to ask Hey hows it going, looks like you got your hands filled out with this hunt, want any help?

[Hollow Ichigo]

Yushino had faced off against multiple Immortals before. It's was no small feat to both attack and defend against much unnatural abilities. However, Yushino and Hunter in general had a few advantages. First, they were trained to fight together. He drew both his swords back and dashed at Sye. Second, he personality trained a few of them. He crouched low as he ran to tighten his movements. Third, he was one of the best at fighting multiple enemies, why, because he specialized in fighting Summoners and they enjoyed summoning legions to fight for them. It was this dramatization of bodies that Yushino hated above all. His family was a victim of use power. Once he was with Sye's range he swung his left handed sword out in a horizontal slash. Fourth, his conviction was unyielding and incorruptible. He held no sorrow for murdering Immortals, even if some were only children. Had they spared his family. Did it stop them from rising those whom should be sleep. DID MORALS AND RESPECT COUNT AS ANYTHING FOR THEM, OR WERE THEY SIMPLY HUMAN TRASH!!!!! Tessie returned it seemed. Stupid girl. Yushino was still mid-swing yet was no fool. His right handed sword reversed into the underhand and blocked the attack. She was a electricity type, his swords handled were made with rubber and that protected him from her electrified attack and allowed him to counterattack if need be. Right now, if one was watching the battle, they would see Yushino stand with two Immortals, and in front and one behind, he looked to create a blade-lock with Sye and Tessie.

Alazus was hot on Juanie's tail. Running full speed he noticed a dumpster and a fire escape ladder. Making a beeline for it, after finishing his clips, all directed at Jace, Alazus lept, dash three steps over the trash collector, and then flipped so e landed directly before the fleeing party. "No one escapes."

[Hollow Ichigo]

Albright Lookingbell sat at the back of a Tavern with a small cup of warm milk before him. His grey hoddy covering his face, with a pair of black glasses further covering his identity. Even behind the glasses he would look up at those entering the small place as if he could really see. So many different sounds and smells echoed from his senses. Liqour, sweat, hatred, fear. So many mixed emotions and ideals in one place. Yes. This is where he would find him.

Standing to his feet the blind Immortal walked causally to the bar were he sat down next to a beast of a man. they looked like polar opposite. Albright smelled of nothingness, dressed like a city-boy. This man next to him was rough. He smelled like outdoors, and above all else he smelled like blood. Just like in his vision.

"Finally I found you. Jace. Did Maria's death really effect you so much?"

[Valkarma]

Charge = 200%

So lost in his own thoughts, as Jace stared down at drink in his hands, he jumped when a hand came to rest on his shoulder. Such a motion from his blind side would normal be felt before hand, another sign that drinking may not have been a good idea. Only then did he begin to notice the similar pacing of other immortals. As the figure continued on to meet another Jace too notice that that one was an immortal too. Luck blessed him in meeting more kin but now the thought of Karma's revenge lingered on. He made a simple nod to acknowledge the other immortals. He didn't risk open conversation just yet.

"Finally I found you. Jace. Did Maria's death really effect you so much?"

Jace paused a moment. His breath held. He didn't look at the figure yet. Not many people knew his name. Those that were a threat would not waste the time speaking it. They knew how much of a threat he was. That meant it another immortal. He leaned back against his chair and yawned, catching sight of the person next to him. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Placing hands under the table he watched the barmaid walk by before speaking.
"You would think. After seeing it so many times it would get easier." He shook his head. The barmaid he had just watched returned to collect his glass. He then noticed it was empty. Had he really drank it all already? She looked at the pair of strangers, tilting her head as if to ask what made them sit together. However Jace met her eyes and all of a sudden she jumped a little before hurrying along. Jace continued to talk.
"But each one is worse than the last. Gravity is but a candle against that bonfire."

He sighed. The drink was getting to him. But he was not done. He stood up a moment. Returning to the bar he collected his third and final drink, as well as one for his new acquaintance. As he sat down next to the other Immortal he slid a slip of paper under the cup for them. It read:

'The hunters that took her life, as well as others, are still in town. We must be careful. We need somewhere safer to talk.'

He continued sipping his drink.
"Did you come for the funeral? Or is it something else...Mr?"

[Hollow Ichigo]

OCC: I see my chance so I'm taking it. Sorry everyone......

She wasn't quite the naive child Yushino suspected her to be. This was after all times which brought death and dispair. Noone born into such desperation would willingly give up their own lives in such a dishonorable way. Yushino's grim expression only deepened as his senses were overloaded in a split second. He had never seen a diversionary attack before he wasn't prepared. It would seem he had been naive. How disgraceful.

As his vision was replaced with a endless stream of white Yushino dropped to one knee and closed his eyes, as if they weren't already from such disorientating tricks. He was immobilized in but a second. Gripping his sword he felt the sudden pull of Sye away from his sword. He couldn't only listen to her steps as they quickened as fast as she began running in the beginning. This girl truly wanted to alive.

Alazus had just to happened to land directly before Juanie, his goal was to box them in between himself and Yushino. However....his current location was one that peered directly at the older mentor jerk, whom dispite his cool out look on life proved demon like on the battle field. He would have smiled at the thought of those whom normally considered him a monster. Yet that was the common flaw of the human race yet one that proved them to be mortal. Immortals seemed too perfect, they had the powers only God's commanded. That deserved eradication. Yet as one with God's power he should have suspected his actions left them open to the attack from Tessie. His own eyes seemed to turn white and burned with unending agony. If he was correct Juanie was directly before him mid-stride. Had he been blinded as well?

His answer came in a sudden 'whoosh' and then it began to disappear. Alazus was stuck, almost glued to his current location. he dared not move from the those of every nerve bursting into flames again. His vision was yet to return. How was Yushino doing he wondered. It felt as if their chance to kill them all faded in but a instant. Damn them all.

Now! This was the time. Albright felt himself being carried and as this Immortal ran Albright caught a familiar. It was of a high frequence, one so high only Albright and those whom had trained their senses to the upmost maximum from years of whats say, ever. Being blind had it's own perks sometimes. This time he awarded him with his sword. This was no normal sword. It was made to never slow vibrating. It's blade was made of a alloy that condensed sound yet served as strong as any blade. Albright could hear this sound and it's alerted him to where his sword was at all times. That was but one way to use this blade. "Step softly or the Meadow Falls, the trail existences through One's Embrace" Taking his sword, thanks to Juanie he could grab it as they past by Alazus, Albright whispered these words into the blade before flipping it into the his left hand and drew it back across the shoulder. He made sure to not distract Juanie from his stride. As quickly as he grasped it, spoke, and drew it back it was gone. Albright flung the sword with what strength he had left and it quickly fought it's way to Jace. He prayed he wasn't blinded by Tessie's attack. Albright yelled out one word, yet through a weak body, nearly gone from this world, he only came out as a whisper. One he hoped those with Jace could hear. "Listen..."

OCC: His safe house is off a the corner of a street called Fall's Embrace, in the section of the city known as One's Meadow. The password is One's Embrace. Hope I'm not Gming or anything Luka, just left me know.

Victoria came to the desert area to find the sand stained with blood. The putrid scent of her failure came to her snout quickly and she shifted back into her regular self. She kicked the sand in anger, cursing slightly under her breath. In all her life, she knew the price of being one of the oldest. Every year, she saw thousands of her brethren die right before her eyes without a single chance of saving them. She was tired of it all but she had to fight. Who else but one of the Hunters' most wanted could lead her people to victory?

While keeping tears from falling from her eyes, Victoria grabbed the single burning portrait of young Maria Juarez. "You were too young, child. Way too young." Her voice solemnly stated. Her fingertips were beginning to burn but she couldn't feel it. She'd experienced a pain that went deeper than physical barriers, something the Hunters always used against her. Blowing the fire off the charred photo, she took out a small book from the rucksack on her back. Inside, she placed it among the old photos, portraits, and paintings she had collected from other fights.

She shifted into her eagle form and flew towards town, trying to blow off the sadness and anger over her repeated failures. She landed at the local tavern and calmly walked in. Her hood shadowed most of her face other than her mouth, making herself practically unrecognizable. The whole place smelled of alcohol and the despaired hopes and dreams of its older tenants. She scowled at the behavior of the younger crowd, all wildly shouting and heckling the workers. She sat down at the bar in hopes of not being approached, ordering a shot of whiskey. "Hey, boys! Look at what we got here." A hand touched her shoulder and promptly plucked her out of her seat. "I highly suggest you take your hand off of me." She said, her hand lightly gripping his wrist.

"What are you gonna' do? Slap us to death?" The young boy asked, pulling her closer. "We could always do that later on." Before he could slide his hand any further than he had started, Victoria flipped the boy over and twisted his arm, breaking it. His friends crowded around him and he yelled out in pain. The patrons and workers began staring in shock before she spoke up. "If anyone else is foolish enough to try me, I'll be trying to enjoy my drink." She said, her eyes sending daggers at the group from under her hood. She sensed her brethren around her and gave a small chuckle. "I'm sure that now these nuisances are out of the way, most of you can too." Hearing a few cheers from the back, she sat down on her stool and took small sips of her drink.

Sye had ordered another drink while waiting for the others to come over, but noticed a woman with tattoos sitting pretty close to him. He sensed that she was a very wise Immortal, many years his elder. A young man started harassing her, but Sye knew that she could handle herself well. "Here's your beer sir." The bartender had gotten Sye his beer. "Thanks." While everyone was looking over at scene going on a bit down the bar, Sye chilled his beer even more.

Sye looked back at who he called over and called out again. "Atii, come on, I don't bite or anything." Sye had started joking around with him a bit. Sye had started to move a bit closer to the summoner, which is when he noticed another Conjuror sitting in front of the Summoner. Sye's face was lit up with a big grin. He hadn't seen another Conjuror in decades and was not about to let this chance slip by without talking to another.

(OOC: Atii usually means let's go, but in this context Sye is meaning hurry up.)

"Albright Lookingbell." Albright took his hood off and turned his face toward Jace, if Jace wasn't blind himself he would notice the empty gaze forever locked in Albright eyes. The infinite darkness. Albright slightly leaned back in his chair and waved to the barkeep. She came back and Albright ordered a glass of water. He politely pushed Jace's drink back to him before speaking. "The smell of alcohol dull the senses. In my case I need every sense I have left." He grinned before taking his water and slightly smelling it. The aroma of pure water registered in his mind and he took a sip, the texture was slightly metallic in taste but soothed his body.

"The funeral is far to depressing my friend. It's pain is only magnified when you've seen it replayed over and over again." Albright raised a hand to his blind eyes and covered his face for a moment. His words grew silent and his body still as a vision invaded his mind. Hunters, multiple groups headed for the Tavern. They didn't have time. Albright knew of a place they could retreat. It was his home. Albright shot forth from his car and draw the sword that was hidden in a long wrapped he constantly had slung over his shoulder. A Hunter came into the Tavern wielding a rifle and before the trigger could be pulled Albright was dancing in a shower of blood.

"Run!"

Albright rushed to Jace and despite his size tackled the larger man and flipped him over the bar as a barrage of bullets entered the tavern.

OCC: Thought I'd spice it up. BTW I'm controlling Yushino and Alazus for Blaze till he returns.

Charge = 200%

Jace listened carefully as Albright talked. He could tell the moment he revealed his eyes that he was a Seeker. Jace smiled slightly inside. Seekers were always the best Immortals to deal with. They were commonly more level headed and were more useful in days like now where staying out of sight became just a part of life. Jace listened with care. But as he did he caught movement in the corner of his eye. A quick glance revealed a tall, lightly tanned person, dealing with some less then kind people. The motion of her movement almost reminded him of someone he had once know as a child. But that was impossible. She had long since vanished. But then he caught a glance of her eyes. And he knew. No amount of contacts could hide that wit that she had. For a moment he almost felt like he was back in the old days. That illusion was shattered fast.

"Run!"

Albright rushed to Jace and despite his size tackled the larger man and flipped him over the bar as a barrage of bullets entered the tavern.

Jace hit the ground at an uncomfortable angle and it sent a shiver down his spine. He cursed as the bullets began shattering the things around him. He moved quickly in order to get further away from the shooters. Lucky for him his bag was close by and it contained everything. He rested his back against a pillar. As the shots died down, most likely reloading, he felt a stab of guilt for those caught up in this. Maybe it was because too many Immortals had gathered in one place? He cursed again, and glanced around. He could not see the other Immortals and he had lost sight of Albright for the moment. He could just make out a group of hunters with guns by the entrance.
"I've got no choice have I?" He thought.

Taking in a deep breath he focussed. Entering the trance he had learnt to reduce consumption he let himself become one with his element. A wave of presence swept into him as it always had done. He was prepared. It felt as if he was pressing against all the object around him and they pressed back. He knew they were balanced but he could not help but feel like if he stopped pressing for one moment they would send him flying upwards. Slowly he exhaled. Energy seeped from behind his eye patch. His focus crystal leaked energy into him. With that energy, now he could shift the balance.

Jace breathed in.

Charge = 185%

For one brief moment the laws of the world changed.

Jace put his energy into the forces acting on the hunters. He increased it over four fold. A dark feeling hit the hunters and for a moment there was silence. Then the screams came. There was a horrid sound as leg bone snapped, ribs cracked and bodies impacted the floor. The hunters were slammed into the ground by their new weights mercilessly. Before it could crush them any more it stopped. The energy was gone.

Jace breathed out.

The whole thing felt like it had lasted hours to Jace. But it had been but a few seconds. Jace's breathing increased. It had been a long day and he had been drinking. He then spotted the fire exit by the back. Without hesitating he shouted.
"The fire exit. Far right of the room. Fasted way out."
He hoped the others heard him as he made his way there quickly.

[Thrasher J]

Sye was about to send out ice barriers to block the bullets, but then felt a different ability. A second later he noticed all the Hunters were on the ground, seriously injured. "Fire exit. Far right of the room. Fastest way out." He had heard the other Conjuror say. If I head for the door, I will only be thinking of myself. I need to help everyone else escape too. Sye had started telling the other patrons where to go if they hadn't heard what the other Conjuror had said.

Once Sye had helped with the evacuations, he helped himself to getting another can of beer and then left. He pocketed the beer when he got outside, he knew that if the cops were coming (and they always come) he would be arrested pretty quickly if he had it open in public. Sye had noticed the elder Immortal walking ahead of him. "Hey! Miss!" Sye started running to catch up to her. When he reached her side he asked "Qannuippi, my name is Sytiuti, and I would like to talk to you about something. But it needs to be private."

(OOC: Qannuippi means: hello, how are you?)
