EB p.2 The Dark Times

[Morty]

Jack launched himself from the tip of Lulu's horn seconds before the flames closed around them, bringing down his sword ((http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/Wiremouth/chibijack.png SO INTIMIDATING XD)) against Ignis's unprotected back with all of Lulu's built-up momentum.

((Weeell, there's not much else I can do. XD Inb4 sword-melt!))

[Nohiki]

They heard something flying behind them. They quickly turned and blocked the sword, almost missing the parry. "An A for effort, but ultimately futile." they said and sucker punched Jack right into the face, sending a fireball right after.

[Kauria]

Athvesa's eyes were closed, elemental energy building in his veins. Ready.
Now!
The ice dragon's eyes flashed open, a wave of freezing water surging from his outstretched hands and washing over the flames.

[Nohiki]

Odin saw the water coming over the flames. Something to shield with? thought Odin. There! thought Ignis, turning them, grabbing Jack and putting him between the water and themselves.

[Awesomoman]

Targus and Sid went back down the hole to the base, then from there they headed out to see who was in trouble, on their way they spotted a raging battle going on between Ignis and 2 groups of dragons and riders, one of which was the two they had just fought. "Um, should we help her?" Sid asked while shaking in fear from the intensity of the fight. "No no, looks like shes got this." Just at that moment Jack jumped and tried to stab Ignis from behind but she turned and punched him. "See, this fight is all hers." "Well, then lets go find our dragons and plan something." Sid suggested. "What? But i want to watch this. After what those guys made us go through to take out a squad." "I don't think thats such a good idea." "Yeah, but its a fun one. HAHA LOOK! SHE JUST PICKED THE GUY UP!" While Targus was laughing Sid shook his head and walked off. "You can watch the fight, ill go be productive." "Have fun with that."

[Morty]

Jack giggled as he found himself pressed against the scantly-dressed fire elf's bosom. "This would be kind of cool if you weren't actually male dragon." he said, and took a deep breath just as the chilly water crashed over them.

((How's that for impudence? ;D))

[Nohiki]

This time Ignis replied. "The body is mine, and you can forget about it!" she said, pretty much more furious than her dragon part at this point, even more so when she saw Targus and his friend on the ground, watching. "Would ye join the war you twits?! Here, have some trash!" she said and tossed jack their way.

[Awesomoman]

"I'm pretty sure you got thiWHOA!" Targus jumped to the side to dodge the flying Jack. "Well if you're THAT mad then why don't i take the riders and you take the dragons, Fair?" Targus pulled out his swords. "Okay buddy, get back up, we have some unfinished business."

[Morty]

Jack groaned, picking himself up and drying himself with a blast of wind. He cracked his nose back into place, grinning. "We meet again! Three times the charm, so they say." he said to Targus, drawing Sophitia from the scabbard at his hip. A dark shape loomed behind him. "It's not over yet." Lulu growled, shaking water and burned skin from herself and taking up a defensive stance, her one eye glinting dangerously.

[Kauria]

Maela sprang from the saddle, banking sharply as Athvesa gathered himself for another attack. She alighted on the other side of Targus, her halberd resting in one hand.

[Awesomoman]

Targus normally likes a good fight, but he wanted to watch Ignis fight some dragons, so he decided to stop this before it even started. That was the plan, until Maela came out of no where and flanked him. "No way i could attack without leaving myself open, damn DTers." He quickly switched to a more defensive stance. "Two on one, normally i would suggest you guys get more fighters, but seeing as you caused me some problems earlier." He said pointing to jack. "And" He turned to Maela. "i seem to recall challenging you a while back. So, who's up first?"

[Morty]

"First?" Jack raised an eyebrow skeptically, smirking. "You mistake me for someone who fights fair." he said. He nodded surreptitiously to Maela. With one step he kicked sand at Targus's eyes and with another aimed to kick his legs out from under him with a sweep of his foot.

[Awesomoman]

The sand came as a surprise, but you don't become a good swordsman on sight alone. He heard Jack come in and was able to jump the kick, his land was far from perfect but he was able to keep his balance. "Should have seen that coming. Don't just focus on one person, keep em both in check." He thought to himself.

[Nohiki]

"Allright, now what's left for us?" they said, looking around. Lulu was defensive, but Athvesa was preparing to strike. "Time to show them how one should use their element." they said, shooting a burst of flames into the ground, creating a lava pool. The lava started to bullbe, swirl and rise, forming an elemental of the size of three storey building. They landed on the shoulder of their creation. "Now we should have also the muscle to counter them two." they said, assuming a defensive position, with the elemental copying their every move.

[Kauria]

Maela darted forward the moment Targus landed, aiming for the small of his back with the butt of her halberd.

------

Athvesa slid his hind leg back, strengthening his stance. His jaws opened, a freezing ray building in his throat and an orb of water condensing in one hand. He spat cold at the elemental and followed it with a wide beam of water.
When their control is weakened, the construct is more earth than fire. Now is your chance! he thought to Leucrocuta.
