Thom - Outlaw Jailbreak

{NARRATION} The dark of the night is upon the depraved city of Loranthis, the people are asleep, laying fearful in the night from outside terrors. The guards are drunk at their posts, laughing nervously at the darkness in the southern reaches, looking for the forces of Nostvale to come hound their gates. The north however is ill defended, an exploit that will now bite them in the ass. With a Rebel Yell, the Outlaws come streaming through the forest, Magic blazing as their horses ride directly to the walls of the jail, blasting open a hole, but alerting the guards and magi, the Outlaws streaming in to break out their captured members, but the alert is up. [If outlaws win the most fights they get Lyse, if Lorenthis wins the most fights they get to pick one person from the Outlaws as a captive. To be decided by the leaders] thom vs john + esther kain vs nox wyatt vs owl legion vs dante
{NARRATION} If Outlaws win, Lyse is free. If Loranthis win, they can capture one of the defeated Outlaws
[10:57:42] A raid? A raid!

It appeared that the city of Loranthis was under attack. That was truthfully interesting. The first fight under the power of the Golden king. Such thoughts brought the red haired man to grin as hellstorm would spark and appear around him. Hearing the yell of the outlaws.. It appeared by their outfits they were not Nostvale. Still no word from that city..

"Indra."

Rather quickly the elemental would appear. Taking a few months to draw the entirety of its power into the physical plane Thom's hand moved to his back, jingling one of the several weapons that lay there.. A sword, depraved and long would be drawn as Thom moved, appearing in front of two of the outlaws while the rest ran past.

"Greetings. I am Thom M. Takashi, the Golden king. Pleasure to fight you."
(Thom M. Takashi)
[11:01:58] The leader of the Outlaws shoots one of the guards in the head, his rifle exuding mana as bullets are flying, his single eye flashing as he slits the thoat of another. A yokai passing by will get a boot to the head, before he flashes his revolver out, and its chest with several holes.

With a flash of red lightning, the stench of depravity and evil will come into form, stepping forth as a being steps into place. The king of Lorenthis. John will give a tip of his hat, as he aims his rifle towards Thom.

"Howdy, I am John Wayland, the Nostvale Kid. Your the depraved motherfucker who took one of my men. So I am here to say hello, and to remind your evil and fucked up self that people are still here to fight you son of a bitch. Little Miss, you got my back? You better cause this fucking ginger is in for an ass whooping. Going to put my foot up his ass and wear him like a boot."

Cracking his neck as he crushes one of his mana bullets, his eye flashing as he crouches down slightly, getting into a pose to rush the man.

"Caendr grant me victory.... and Solus I can use the power right about now."
(John Wayland)
[11:07:56] She was riding in on her own white horse gifted to her by John - a so called big brother figure. The horse seemed to be one of the best groomed in the whole pack of Outlaws and marched into Loranthis. She, coincidently stayed beside John. Perhaps it was the fear that Maxwell planted inside of her that she chose to stay away from most people.

Yet Thom appeared and she too gave him a tip of her hat. "Well there, Esther, Little Miss. Here to take back one of our men... Or women... John is Lyse still a woman? I can't remember." She would shiver slightly - the thought of gender bending weren't exactly the best things to imagine.

Ebony was drawn in the left hand while Ivory was drawn in the right. "Hey John, I pray that Aeilliex helps you aim your gun to take out your foe. While Caendr helps me get out of this FUCKING hangover." She would shake her head. That crying session ontop of Kain and the many shots she took still lingering in the back of her head...

"Caendr, bless everyone that fights for the greater good today - and let them find their path towards victory." She'd pray as golden winds would pick up around her. "Hey John, don't forget to wax your shoe so it goes into his ass nice and smoothly. Don't want to stretch your new boot - do you?" She scoffed.

She needed something to lighten the mood as this could easily be the last time she would see John.

(Esther)
[11:09:39] {combat} John Wayland has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:09:39] {combat} Esther has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:14:46] "John Wayland, Ester. Charmed to meet you both." The red haired man would say, a bit of a smile coming across his face as he said such. The golden hues looked at the faces of both combatants, obviously choosing who to attack first and giving a nod then towards John.

"I think I'll strike at you first. I know its ussually ladies first but you're the leader right? It would only be honoroable to go after you first." With that being said the depraved blade sliced out towards the cowboy, black flames and red lighting rather quickly assulting both the magi he was battling. Indeed it would be John knocked down first, slammed to the ground before Ester would go soon after.

"I didn't capture them personally, but yes, it is interesting. Do try to kick my arse if you would." The man said, a slight taunt in his voice as Indra cackled, both teleporting back slightly to give a breather to the foes.

"Shall we continue?" the blade was once more hefted and pointed.
(Thom M. Takashi)
[11:19:02] His face is in the street, bleeding heavily as he groans, his eye blinking the blood out of it as he slowly looks up as he shifts his weight to his knees. Kneeling and spitting into the earth.

"Fuck that hurt.... But I am not out of this yet. You can burn in Atmos when I am done with you. So yea take me on first, but do not expect to win this without a scratch."

Flinging the chamber open as he rapidly reloads the chamber of his rifle, his eye only glancing breaifly down as he shakes his head.

"Esther, keep up the support magic alright? Get him with your winds, and hit him hard. You probably will last longer than me, go for his fucking throat."
(John Wayland)
[11:19:53] She did the same thing that she did when she fought Maxwell. Her muscles ached with pain as she would force as much out of them as possible. She wouldn't just sprint around the area, but she'd outright be dashing - moving at extremely fast speeds. Yet even that wasn't enough to outrun Thom, it was impossible to run and attack at the same time so she had to choose...

Yet John fell first and she would rush to his side. Only to be kicked to the ground too... "Charmed... Are you some sort of womanizer? Please." She rolled her eyes slightly as holy magic began to heal and recover the muscles in her legs. She needed them for just a bit shorter. To give her some more momentum and be able to fight...

Fight by John's side...

"Come on... Don't give in yet. I just need a little more time legs... Just a bit." She would speak to herself as Ebony and Ivory danced in her hands. "Com'on John... We didn't come here to save Lyse just to lose."

(Esther)
[11:21:36] {combat} John Wayland has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:21:36] {combat} Esther has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:27:34] They were strong. Of that there was no doubt. The combination of cosmic, energy, wind, and holy magics were absolutely scary in Thom's book. But the Hellstorm magi would move quickly, evading the mass of power they left on the ground and aiming to strike at them rather quickly. The sword ripped through the air with its foul energy once more knocking John to his knees.

"A strong magi, of that there is no doubt. A shame we are foes John." With that The man focused on Ester who was quite fast. In fact, a few more slashes of her blade and Thom suspected he might also be left on the floor, tending to his injuries. Luckily it did not come to that, a jolt of lighting also felling her.

"I AM NOT A WOMANIZER GOSH WHY DO PEOPLE SAY THAT." Thom said, her comment obviously getting him rather flustered, gripping his forehead and letting out a big sigh. "Why is it always that..

Reguardless. Your battle is lost. Give up on saving Lyse." The blade pointed towards both fighters, hefted, prepared to finish it if they attempted to come forwards, to attempt to continue saving their ally.
(Thom M. Takashi)
[11:36:57] It seems that they weren't able to beat the King himself...

She could barely walk anymore and after the king would fell her with a bolt of lightning she would be stuck on the ground... "Fuck..." Her hand reached for her muscles. She couldn't do it. She couldn't run fast enough to beat him. He may be the King of Loranthis - the Golden King- but even the strongest and one of the strongest people in the Outlaws couldn't beat him together...

Her spirits fell.

If the two of them couldn't beat Thom - how were they supposed to fight the whole alliance? She wanted to scream. To simply give up on everything she believed in. It's as if everything was null and void...

If they can't beat the King - they can't win a war...

She would heal her muscles if need be but it seems that Thom wasn't going to make any more progression towards either of them. Yet if he did - it was certain that one of them could escape...

She just hoped it was John who gets away.

(Esther)
{NARRATION} The battle is fierce, but there are no clear winners on each side, some of the Outlaws are able to beat back the depraved forces of Lorenthis, while the King and some of his top magi are able to whipe the streets with the men of the outlaws. The King of Lorenthis though is the key to defeat, and the Magi of the Outlaws know it. If he falls then they will be able to get their man and flee. [TIE BREAKER FIGHT Ciel and John vs Thom 3 rounds]
[12:05:07] The man is aiming his sword at them, ready to drop it on top of their heads. To kill one of them, but John is not having any of it, as he pulls out a bullet, and swollows it, the mana in it rushing through him, the crstlized mana making him rise as cosmic power leaks through his lips, his eye blazing with cosmic power.

"No you do not, I am John Wayland, I will keep fighting, and if you think you have me down for the count then you got another thing coming. The Gods shall see me victorius today, they shall see my shining power beat back your depraved magics."

He will intone heavily as he shoots his rifle, blasting away Thom, to allow him time to recover slightly, and for Creepers the other magus of the Outlaws to ride in to the fight.
(John Wayland)
[12:06:49] A black steed galloped with the Outlaws as they rushed inside the city. Its crystal clear eyes stared upon the numbers of Loranthis, judging them of their puny fate.

The cloaked figure mounted atop the might beast, swung his staff around, sending his enemies away as those who attempted to surround him withered to a rot.

"Perish . . . " The magi commanded as he slayed his enemies in cold blood, and without uttering a word, leaped off his horse as he sent upon blades of ice towards Thom's direction - before landing beside John.
(Ciel)
[12:09:23] Suprise Suprise.

It appeared that the battle had not yet entirely drained from John. The Uryan fired their gun away, likely drawing back up to this spot as Ester managed to escape A slight from on the red haired man's face as he readied the blade, pointed it towards John.

"I see. Then I have no choice but to capture you and break the will of your forces." With that said he hefted the blade.. until a cloaked figure approached the back up. Hellstrom radiated around the elementalist as they commaned he perish but the golden king allowed for the eletricty in the air and the darkness around him to grow even thicker.

"You perish."
(Thom M. Takashi)
[12:10:14] {combat} John Wayland has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[12:11:05] {combat} Thom M. Takashi has been defeated by Ciel! They're unable to continue fighting.
[12:14:30] Though many of the Outlaws will fall this day, their wills will never break. These are men who chose the hard way, and chose to fight for the future of their children's children. They will never break, and not even the accursed Golden King will break it.

Thom's words ignited the magi's hatred and rage, as the surroundings around him would sizzle with the biting ice.

As they clashed, he realized that he won't be able to take down Thom alone, his power even able to completely annihilate that of the Red Queen's. However, although with their combined powers able to hold back Thom for now, he didn't dare let his guard down.
(Ciel)
[12:18:46] The fight is a good one, if it did not mean that John was getting his asskicked at least. He is down on the ground sucking street as he blinks, trying to figure out where he went wrong. Groaning as he stands up, his eye flashing with cosmic power as he spits.

The air hums with the power being thrown around, but John is not down yet. Picking up his rifle as he aims down it again.

"Good job Creepers. Shows how much you have grown am I right? Now lets take this bastard down and get Von out of prison. We got to win this for his sake."
(John Wayland)
[12:19:37] The girl didn't pose as much of a problem as the combined ice and wind of the now cloaked man. A frown wore on the Golden king's face as they realized this.. He could try to attack John again and again and would be able to handle him but this white haired man.. This white haired man would likely be proving far more dangerous.

"Change of tactics Indra. that one." The hellstorm around him cackled, hopefully having the strength to defeat the ice magi and then have energy to spare to go after John.. But chances were that this was his limit. That although he had the strength to defeat Conquest the powers of slowing would be far more detrimental.

"Lets try this now. Lets see your strength cowboys."
(Thom M. Takashi)
[12:20:28] {combat} Ciel has been defeated by Thom M. Takashi! They're unable to continue fighting.
[12:21:20] {combat} Thom M. Takashi has been defeated by John Wayland! They're unable to continue fighting.
[12:29:00] The fight is fierce, but in achange of pace the first down is Not John, his ally falls as a blow hits him. But the outlaw leader is not down for the count as he aims down the sights of his weapon, a bullet triggers, a carona of Lightning magic surrounding it as the bullet flies forth, hitting the magus king in the chest, throwing him back and into the ground, his chest burnt and lightning shattering his being.

The swarm of guards though? They will be coming in to protect their fallen king. The two magi of the outlaws can't pursue for a kill, but they do see the opening they need though. Gripping Ciel under the arm yanking him up as he points to the hole in the prison wall, some prisonersstreaming out.

"Lets get Von Hurry."

Whistling to the outlaws remaining he will circle his hand, the outlaws giving a loud whoop and cheer, as they form a circle on their horses shooting and slashing at the guards and the magus von brought from the holds of Lorenthis, to rejoin the brothers and sisters of the Outlaws.

With another rebel yell, they will start riding hard back to the north.
(John Wayland)
{NARRATION} The Outlaws have won their fights, and the King of Lorenthis has been defeated. However the forces of Lorenthis will soon decend on the field protecting their fallen Magi from retribution or fury the Outlaws will put against them. [Outlaws won during tie breaker. Lyse is freed from captivity]
[12:32:25] The explosions and shouts were a little hard to miss.

Poking his head out of the ruins of a nearby house, face pale and bruised, eyes wide and desperate, a young boy made up his mind in an instant. Charging through the chaos of the field and the fire, he sprinted toward the retreating horses and waved his hands, shouting loudly!

"HOLD ON! TAKE-" He coughed, stumbling through the dust. "TAKE ME WITH YOU!" the boy screamed, stumbling along the path of John Wayland's horse.
(Zach Fairburn)
[12:34:59] Loss.

It appeared that despite everything they attempted the battle would be lost. A depressing outcome but such happened. The red haired man frowned, having been knocked to the ground but his life was not in danger.. No, in fact the red haired man had recieved exactly what he needed.

A good look at himself. Knowlege that he wasn't strong enough, not yet. The red haired man took deep breaths as the forces of Loranthis protected him, got him to his feet and into the white tower they would begin to go. There would not be a scowl on his face.. No what there would be instead would be a grin.

"We need to strengthen our army. Strengthen and improve everything.. That is fine.

That is better then fine."
(Thom M. Takashi)
[12:35:50] The magi lifted an eyebrow upon Thom's mention of a name. Indra?

For some reason, it chilled even the Ice-Blood Magi, and knew that the Thom this time will be different - as he himself announced that he'll take down Ciel first. The Occultist would find that he'll be met with a powerful gust of wind, and spikes of ice if he attempted to approach Ciel.

However, Thom's magic's more powerful, able to take him down. Still, he didn't have enough to completely take down John.

Just how powerful is this man? Ciel thought as the King's men would surround him, to defend him from another pursuit by the Outlaws.

Ultimately. . . they were able to do just fine.
