General Anubis +++ With a slightly tired huff, Leo turned to her. "I don't see you doing much." He joked, his long, twisted horns slightly bloody from using them as battering rams. He honestly hated the sounds of necks breaking- it was unnerving and disgusting, even if he hated who he was killing. At her next words he huffed quietly again, turning away for a couple seconds, to pretend to scan the forest. "When I feel guilty it is never utterly pointless." He stated, his eyes growing alert as there was yet another whoosh. Glory better start helping, or maybe he just WOULD fall down dead. He swung his tail again, while launching forward, grappling the dragon out of the sky. It snarled and took a chunk out of his shoulder, and Leo had to dodge and roll away before its tail hit his chest. He was TRYING to be careful. He snapped at its face, trying to distract it so he could get a blow in to the neck. All in all, he was slower this time and got a couple more wounds, but overall, most people wouldn't want to meet him in battle as another crunch rang through the trees and the dragon went limp.

'General Rogue' Adrien Romanov -x- Adrien was think at what felt like 100 miles an hour. He needed to somehow get this thing down. But if he couldn't alert anyone else that he was here, then how was he supposed to actually do anything. He could try to kill it himself, but that was basically a suicide mission. He tilted his head as he stayed camouflaged. He would have the largest migraine after this. {Hello. I know you can hear me. Also, hello Anubis. Since your in the middle of this. I thought I may pay aa visit. Try to find me bitch.} He broadcasted. He made sure to make it to Anubis only, but he knew the thing could hear him. He hoped Anubid got the whole, get you ass to the middle of this forest now message. But who knew? He saw the corrupted one look to the side and shoot a purple orb of fire at him. He jumped to anther tree, using his claws and tail to stay stuck to the trees. Hopefully the others would get here soon. He could not take this thing alone. And for once, he knew it. He honestly just wanted to go back to bed. He wanted to go lie down and not get up until he was fully healed. Thankfully, these shadow braces he had given himself, were supporting a broken wrist, and keeping him from bleeding out. No biggie. He swung from the tree he was on and to another as the corrupted one somehow found his location again and shot another fireball at him. He tried locking down his mind further, he figured it could pinpoint location as well, so he tried to lock that away as well. But that was quite challenging. Even for someone like him. Crap. They really needed to work together. They were generals. They needed to pull themselves together and do this professionally. And working to all of there strengths. Adriens mind was now working on atheist 4 things at once. |

Lieutenant Dwyer Glory rolled her eyes. "I would help if you weren't so good at it. And yes, sometimes you're a little too hard on yourself." she lunged forward as Anubis fought off another Corrupted, but wasn't quick enough. Focus, Glory, no matter how distracting he is. She thought, as yet another snap rang out, and the beast went limp. They continued walking, and Glory swiveled her head back and forth, ears twitching, listening. Then, from the right; the crunch of dragon talons on the forest floor. Glory put her wing out in front of Anubis, stopping him and trying to tell him with her eyes to be quiet. Her stripes flashed red and purple-fury and concern. She turned her attention back to where she heard the noise, narrowing her eyes and folding her wings close to her sides, crouching low and stalking forward silently. Nothing, then... out from the trees leapt a large Corrupted dragon, jaws open wide, screaming out a horrible roar, trying to grab Glory's neck. With an equal roar of murderous intent, Glory plunged herself and the Corrupted into total darkness, effectively blinding it and leapt into the air, hovering just out of reach. Focusing her mind on a single branch on the ground, she created a semi-accurate illusion of herself, minus the dorsal spikes and stripes. She loosened her grip on the darkness around the illusion just enough to be seen, and the Corrupted took the bait. As soon as its jaws closed around the illusion, Glory dropped down onto its back, biting into the flesh on the side if its neck, digging her claws into its back and tearing at its wings. Glory's grip on the darkness fell away entirely, but that was manageable, as she focused all her energy into her front talons, listening to them crackle with electricity as she dug her claws into the back of the Corrupted's neck. From where she shocked it, she could see smoke curling up into the air, and smell the sickening smell of burning flesh. The Corrupted roared and threw itself on the ground, taking Glory with it, and crushing her briefly under its immense weight before rolling off. Glory heard a horrible crunch as 2 of the smaller bones in her wing broke, and bit into its throat, stripes glowing bright red, and ripped it out. With a final thrash, it was finally dead. Glory limped away from its body, shaking, injured, unable to fly, and exhausted from the use of her powers. She made her way back to Anubis, trying to keep her wings steady while hiding the broken bones. She was breathing hard and bloody, but still in the fight. (Sorry for making y'all read a whole dang book >>;) |

General Anubis +++ As they walked along and Dwyer stopped him, then disappeared, his eyes widened. "No- I didn't mean- don't try to- you're going to hurt yourself!" He yelped as he frantically tried to find where the fight was, but everything was either shrouded in darkness or thick forest. He could hear loud crashes, snarls, and screams. Finally a spot opened up and he saw the GIANT Corrupted CRUSH poor Dwyer. He opened his mouth to Roar or something, but she was already dispatching the animal. A second later the shadow cleared entirely and he charged forward to her. "What were you thinking!? Did you see how big that thing was? YOU ALMOST GOT FLATTENED. I CAN'T BATTLE WITH A FLATTENED CORPSE." He exclaimed, concern flashing in his golden eyes, but far underneath, also fear. He had no care for his own worthless life, but Glory was different- he didn't want her getting killed! He opened his mouth to say more when a loud message blared into his mind. "General Rogue- stay here Glory, don't you dare follow me. Thats an order." His voice strained, he took off into the woods. Of course, they could use another dragon, but he wasn't going to put her life at risk battling the mastermind of all the Corrupted. Shooting through the trees, he saw a giant Corrupted dragon, as big as him, easily, crashing through the forest- most likely after Romanov. Summoning up every ounce of his strength, he shot up behind it and lobbed it in the head with his spiked tail, then shot into the trees, disappearing. Hoping Romanov would take that as a cue to fight, since the dragon was distracted now, Leo conjured a giant Boulder and dropped it on the thing's head, which only enraged it. |

'General Rogue' Adrien Romanov -x- Adrien gave a very small sigh of relief as he dove into it's mind, mentally tearing at anything he could find, noting it and locking it away. While it was distracted he jumped down from his spot, once he hit the ground shadow binds pinned the things head down, making it struggle to try and get free. Adrien jumped over a tail and jumped on its back, digging his sharp claws and tail into its back. He wanted to hurt it. And hurt it he did. He had to lock his mental state down again as it gained back a bit of its power. Adrien held on to its back though, he shifted human, sort of a stupid move and hung on as it tried getting its head out of the shadow bind. He snapped and looked over at Anubis, wrapping his mid section and any other major injuries in binds. Hopefully they would help. He knew the idiot had broken ribs, so he made sure the ones around his torso weren't to tight. He also, sacrificing the head bind he had for the corrupted one, wrapped binds around Dweyer. He was being thrown around while on this things back as he tried to keep calm and focus. Ugh, why couldn't he have all 4 major abilities!? He put his hands on the corrupted ones body and waited as the stone touch began crackling out, around its skin. No use. He needed to get inside it. He looked over at Anubis and Glory. "Do you guys have a weapon!?" He asked loudly, making the corrupted one, try to shake him off harder. Which made Adrien grab its back ridges tighter, holding on. He needed to somehow get a wound in this thing neck. Maybe he could slow it down by solidifying some of the inside of its neck... worth a shot. But he needed something sharp, and he couldn't use his shadow weapons, because he was focusing on keeping those around the others. So they didn't bleed out. |

Lieutenant Dwyer Glory sat down as Anubis ran up to her, concern written on his face as clearly as an open book. "I only did what I was told, didn't I? And yes, it was big, but now it's dead! You ought to know I'm harder to flatten than that, a little smushed, yes, but definitely not flattened. I'm still in better shape than you." She stopped, tilting her head as he seemed to lose focus on her and listen to something else. Upon being not to follow him, she replied, "Oh, I'm going to follow you. Just from a distance. And I won't engage in whatever it is you're going gallivanting off to, but I'm not going to sit here and worry." But he lad already turned and disappeared into the trees. With a weary sigh, Glory stood up and walked slowly through the trees after Anubis, as silently as possible. Finally, she saw something she didn't expect; General Rogue in human form grappling with a huge Corrupted. He asked if either she or Anubis had any weapons, and, remembering the broadsword and shortsword still over her shoulders, she limped over to him as quicky as possible and gave him the broadsword. "Here, "she said. "Take this." |

'General Rogue' Adrien Romanov -x- He wanted to yell at her for having no comman sense and getting so close, but he didn't. Instead, he grabbed it quickly and spun it around, jabbing it through the things neck. It screeched and began trying to throw him off again. He growled and twisted the sword, taking a hole. He pulled the sword out and tossed it back to them, sticking a hand in the wound. The stone began spreading through its next and it's neck began stiffening. He needed to get it now. It paused for a moment and he scurried up it's neck, turning into his dragon form in the process and biting into it's neck. He heard a crack, but he could still hear it's mind rambling on? ... did this one have another kill point they had to get? Well that's not good. (Lol, this one's short compared to the rest of the book) |

General Anubis +++ Leo snarled with irritated anger as Glory followed him. He was, truthfully, terrified that she'd get herself killed, then the first person he'd actually talked to in MONTHS would be gone. He used his claws to slice at the beasts underbelly the best he could, then jumped away again as it made vicious swipes at him and Romanov. His powers were rather useless, apart from his immense strength, which helped with it not flailing around as much as he kept going in for repeated blows. As he shot backwards again, he felt a cold sensation wrap around his torso. He quickly figured it out to be one of Romanov's shadows. "You're using too much power! Focus more on the dragon!" He snapped, wondering how Romanov was still alive. The guy had been using their shadow powers nonstop for a while now. He lunged at the dragon again with revived Fury, his eyes glowing as he drew on his strength and sliced its armored neck open with his claws. Since Dwyer had given Romanov a weapon, he didn't, focusing on not dying as he kept battering the big Corrupted, which would hopefully start slowing. He could feel his chest wanting to explode with pain, but the shadows were just barely keeping it at bay, so he used every ounce of strength he could to batter the Corrupted into the ground. |

Lieutenant Dwyer Glory grabbed back the broadsword and scrambled backward. She watched as General Rogue plunged his hand into the wound he created and slowly turned the Corrupted's neck into stone. Not quick enough not quick enough, Glory thought. She turned away from them slightly, enough to watch the forest without letting the Corrupted out of her sight. She tried her best to stand tall and look imposing, but it was difficult knowing she couldn't fly, could hardly fight, and was fighting off exhaustion, the stripes down her back still red, but dimming. Hopefully Anubis was okay, but she couldn't go over to check on him without leaving General Rogue vulnerable. If something comes, I can at least be a distraction. COME AND TRY TO EAT ME BONES, I DARE YOU. Glory thought fiercly into the darkness of the tree cover. |

'General Rogue' Adrien Romanov -x- Adrien was breathing hard as he ignored Anubis, keeping the shadows wrapped around his and Dwyer's torso's. He looked at them as he was thrown off. He stood up, with an obviously dislocated shoulder. He murmured a curse and still lifted it grabbing a sword with that arm. He was going to die, the idiot. How was he not dead???? He couldn't use the arm, like at all. So he switched the weapon to his other hand. "It has another kill spot somewhere." He muttered, telling them. He was in quite a lot of pain, so he disrupted his own mind and tried to find the pain sensor area. Turning it way down he stepped back and swung the sword around, looking for a kill spot. Come on... where could it be...!? |
