bruce cuts alanis' arm off

[04:10] With the Grimmore agreeing to their little discussion. Family to him was everything, even if he didn't particularly show it, but, his sisters are the only people he truly enjoys the company of.

A true Rhoynish, familial bounds seem to overcome his programming by Benedict, to be more or less a machine of logic - it wasn't so easy, not yet anyway.

"You brought this upon yourself, Grimmore. Don't blame me for what happens next, it's only right." He stated, rather coldly, still though - something is awry - he wasn't showing the emotions he should be.

Regardless, a kick to the ground below forces him forward; drawing out a hilt from his coat, granted, with a little bit of mana coursing through it, it became more or less a full blade; in an attempt to slice down the girl before him.

Akin to a dance, Bruce seemed to be well-versed in close quarters, perhaps this will help him prevail...?
(Bruce Chrome)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:10] Mohammed says, "I live to fight, yes, but with each fight there is growth, the more I grow.. the closer I am to perfection."
[04:13] Twinkling starlight, tinged with the fiery passion of a cosmic star enshrouded the Grimmore near instantly. For whatever reason, she had changed her mind in Bruce's idea of a 'discussion', and as he kicked off towards her...?

Alanis drew Arius forth, and met Bruce's forward motion towards her. Yet, the blade never clashed against his own blade; the only thing Kagiwara's brother would see would be darkness. The Grimmore slipped into the shadows to initiate the battle at hand.

She spared him no words.
After all, whatever happened would happen. She was merely defending herself - once again.
(Alanis vey Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:16] Bruce Chrome says, "لاخح"
[04:18] Maple wandered into the school shop area - well the indoor area- and towards the arena bit, wondering how the children were sparing. But it was with great displeasure that she saw.. the violent intensity in which they were! Oh no!
(Maple Grace)

[04:20] Charlotte folds her hands elegantly before her.
(Charlotte cos Gardios)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:22] Gin Hellsing says, "Interesting."
[04:24] With that, the Rhoynish managed to settle something - his mana saber cutting through some of Alanis' hair, giving her a quite the punk aesthetic, half the side of her head shaven.

It was too close for comfort to the two of them, to be quite honest, Bruce wasn't keen on actually killing the girl, but - as they say - an eye for an eye, it's the law of Esshar as of late.

Regardless, she danced like a Star, baffling the Rhoynish - his speed though allowed him to close the gap of the lack of his own finesse, crossing paths with the Grimmore on several occasions..

It goes without saying, though, that she is indeed very strong - and that was something Bruce definitely respected, he could tell why Kajiwara lost.

"You shine like a star. I'm coming for you with brute force. You have the finesse, you need a little push though." … was he giving her advice?

Maybe.

His expression never changed, though, he was intense - though - no animosity can be seen leaking out onto his features.
(Bruce Chrome)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:27] Alanis knew little of what to expect from Bruce, and as he came at her with his sword, she was fully prepared to defend herself. No slashes came from the Grimmore however, as she practically danced around the battlefield without a seemingly care in the world.

Was she taking it serious?

As she strained, it quickly became evident that yes indeed she was. With every trade it was being more clear that she was pushing herself far beyond what she was in actuality comfortable with. But it was what the boy desired and who was she to say no?

His advice was offered and the Grimmore stared at him, those sienna eyes dancing towards a shade far more crimson than before. Pulling back now, Alanis straightened her form and merely beckoned towards him.

For him to come at her.
(Alanis vey Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:27] Maple would speak up:
(Maple Grace)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:27] Cyn whispers to Jude Cirque: who's your money on?
[04:27] Maple Grace exclaims, "Please seize this at once!"
[04:27] Alanis vey Grimmore says, "i thnik you mean cease"
[04:28] Maple Grace exclaims, "There's no need t' - Yes!- tha's beyond tha point, this needs t' stop!"
[04:28] Gin Hellsing says, "Give it up old woman..They won't listen."
[04:28] Maple Grace exclaims, "THis 's exsessive!"
[04:28] Jude Cirque whispers to Cyn: I'd like to hope the Grimmore.
[04:28] Jude Cirque whispers to Cyn: Him and his sister gives me the heebie-jeebies.
[04:28] Cyn whispers to Jude Cirque: Yeah, it'd be a shame.. If an accident happened to both on the same day.
[04:28] Jude Cirque whispers to Cyn: They said his sister has wires in her arm.
[04:29] Jude Cirque whispers to Cyn: I'm one hundred percent suspicious of her.
[04:29] Jude Cirque whispers to Cyn: That sh*t ain't natural.
[04:29] Maple Grace exclaims, "Stop this! Immediately!"
[04:29] Cyn whispers to Jude Cirque: Sounds Barsburgian, I understand you grew up on this side of the continent though. I spent more time with dad in Barsburg.
[04:29] Azariel De Claire exclaims, "If you're gonna fight Alanis.. Win!"
[04:30] Alanis outright ignored the Drakanite woman on the sidelines begging for them to cease. She was defending herself, and defend herself she would. Those now fully crimson eyes completely focused, and the Grimmore was moving as if she wasn't even fully in control of her own senses.

A bone lanced out in front of her and Alanis, even in her pumps, bent backwards completely at the waist, her head nearly hitting the floor in order to avoid it before she allowed herself to fall backwards completely into that endless abyss of the shadows.

She reappeared behind him, claws raking against his back and tearing at his clothing.

She didn't speak further. Even as he encouraged her.
(Alanis vey Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:34] Jude Cirque says, "Hey Leo."
[04:34] Jude Cirque says, "Your sister's in a Deadly."
[04:34] Jude Cirque says, "Wait no."
[04:34] Jude Cirque says, "Cousin."
[04:34] Jude Cirque says, "My bad."
[04:35] Leonidas ven Grimmore asks, "Oh. Is it about the girl that basically asked to be attacked for months or something else?"
[04:35] Callahan K. Gardios says, "Yeah. Revenge for that."
[04:35] Cyn says, "Mhm"
[04:35] Leonidas hands Charlotte a bow.
(Leonidas ven Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[04:35] Jude Cirque says, "The guy's attackin' her because he insists she cut her arm off."
[04:36] Jude Cirque says, "But from what I heard, it was just the shark that did it."
[04:36] Jude Cirque says, "So he's attackin' her in blind rage."
[04:36] Jude Cirque says, "Their family must have a /ton/ of issues."
[04:36] Jude Cirque says, "I'd avoid them entirely, not gonna lie."
[04:38] Kana whispers something.
[04:38] Leonidas ven Grimmore says, "Sorry. Zoned out. I'm still processing fighting for a stalker."
[04:40] Cyn asks, "Someone's stalking you Leonidas?"
[04:40] Leonidas ven Grimmore says, "No. I'm talking about the armless stalker."
[04:40] Leonidas ven Grimmore says, "Alanis was getting stalked not me."
[05:02] Pure rage, drove him in the last moments - though the Grimmore's finesse was impressive to say the least, him marching forward - through the Stardust, while she shone like a star - Bruce began to shine of something completely different.

A hint of blue mana began to emerge around him, condensing in his limbs - forcing him forward. Through the pain, through the burns - all of it; he took it on. Wading on as visions of a warrior began to resonate with him, an older gentleman fighting a noble of house Grimmore of years past.

Seems like history was repeating itself in Bruce's eyes, though, as the vision showed him the warrior falling to the Grimmore's might, Bruce shrugged off the shadows that gripped him, smacking forward with his saber.

A slice.

Her arm disappeared, falling limb as blood began to pour onto the sand below - with that, the energy condensed around his limbs made it's way to his left fist, a simple turn on his heel, a straight left made it's way to the Grimmore's forehead.

No bruises, no broken bones - nothing - it's almost as if the energy dissipated the physical charge of the blow, though, definitely doing something to the Grimmore before him.

"An eye for an eye, Alanis." He'd state, emerging victorious. He'd pick her up, looking around the crowd.

"... any medic around?" True, he was brutal - though he wasn't heartless. She was still a student in the academy and had a bright future ahead of her, he'd get her healed, at the very least. He wasn't aiming to kill her, what's important that justice was served.

Though the visions made him a little bit too brutal, he seems to have more control of his emotions now.
(Bruce Chrome)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:05] Maple watched in horror as the kids arm was slized off, a brutal vision and the blood stained the grounds. Wanting to take the man in herself, to serve some justice and get some understanding of it all-

She pushed those thoughts away and stepped forward. She was a medic and this wound needed to be treated as soon as possible. Whats worse was that she'd needed an med-kit to manage.. Did she still have some?

"Oh hels." Maple cursed.

"Ah'm a medic." She simply stated as she rushed forward to aid.
(Maple Grace)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:12] You stole Alanis vey Grimmore's Newbie Boots.
[05:13] The battle itself had happened with little in ways of being interrupted due to the nature of how chaotic magi fights were. An arm falls and by then, the two have stopped moving that Callahan can close on in. His own blade was already drawn.

Cosmic stardust tinted crimson of House Grimmore starts to fall atop bone raptured ground. Remnants of the fight.

"That isn't how things work," yellow eyes narrow. While the Gardios wasn't wielding the same violently deadly force as Bruce, it was clear that the imperial rhoynish would be restrained through brute force and a good old fashioned beating. "Don't get to use that amount of force. And, act like nothing happened."

Pale gold illuminates and surrounds the violet-haired teen as his blade comes up, looking to swing into Bruce's chest. A heavy strike, followed up by another. The clash of steel would echo should Bruce look to defend himself.
(Callahan K. Gardios)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:13] It was insanely close, with every trade the Grimmore and Bruce seemed neck and neck, with Alanis allowing cosmic magic to litter the field to assist her, even as she slipped further into the shadow in order to attack.

Then it happened.

A mere slice in time, so to speak. A second. A blink and one missed it entirely - except for the suddenly loss of a limb, and the blood which covered not just the sand in which she stood upon but also her clothing. Yet, Alanis didn't even have time to fully register her missing limb before she was clocked in the forehead.

Her glasses snapped in half from the pressure and force of the punch, and those eyes of her eyes widened. Her heart raced in her ears, and everything else suddenly oh so muffled and distant. There was a pure look of fury on Alanis' features, as those glasses tumbled to the now thoroughly bloodied ground. Had she realized her arm was gone?

"I'll kill you."

The first outward sign of true hostility from the Grimmore. Her teeth grit. She accidentally bit her tongue as everything was so blurry, and yet was it because her glasses were a lost cause or because of that punch to her head? His form doubled, and then tripled. Blood was... Everywhere.

"I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU. YOU'RE WORTHLESS BENEATH ME! DO YOU HEAR ME YOU DISGUSTING CRETIN OF A MONGOLOID?" She shouted, her voice hoarse. From the strain and shock of what had happened to her, in that moment. She was defending herself, and Bruce had charged in with nary a concern for her own well being.

And she had lost an entire limb over it.

"I'LL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE DISGUSTING FAMILY UNDER MY HEEL! NO WHERE WILL BE SAFE FOR YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL DESTROY YOUR LIFE, AND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! YOU'LL BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT A F*CKING SPECK IN THE ANNUALS OF HISTORY!"

She stumbled forward, a single hand reaching out with a shaky hold within the air before she fell forward, on her face.
(Alanis vey Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:14] {Item} You drop Newbie Boots.
[05:14] {Item} You picked up Pumpkin Pie. Dropped by Bruce Chrome..
[05:14] Voiceless.

No gaze was more cold as a silent silver loomed for but a moment. The sight of blood and smell of slaughter one which would have otherwise gone without care, had such a victim been nothing more than a commoner.

Yet as he witnessed a noble fall a familiar sensation had begun to build within his mind. Veins bulging and fists balled in stunned silence, witnessing as none other than the highest blood in all of Esshar was struck down.

Wounded.

Beyond repair.

"... You're repulsive." Alone would such words break through that silence which had been clawing at his neck. Alone would such words force themselves out from this butler as he began his movement forwards. Stone beneath him thrumming with latent mana which had bled outwards from this butler.


He was a commoner.He was nothing special.He was filth.

Just as Callahan had acted?

So too would he.

Snapping their hand forwards as it cleave through all in its path. Splintering existence and drawing from all which would seek to oppose but a common servant of nobility.

"You can die.
No one will even recall your name."
(Sebas)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:15] "An eye for an eye?" Clearly, the teen was in disbelief. The obvious intent and clear presence of actual wish to maim and hurt was baffling to say the least. Not that he were not expecting it, but moreso that he was not intending to witness it happen just like that. "Y'just maimed a student because y'felt like it."

"You and your family really are deranged psychopaths. First a stalker, now someone who'd willin'ly try to kill someone just because he felt like it?" The Cirque's placement of judgement was absolute and vocal to say the least.

What he had see wasn't a man trying to enact revenge. What he witnessed was someone with killing intent for seemingly no apparent reason other than a vague tip off.

Instinctually, his fingers shift, grasping the blade upon his belt as it was clear what the danger was. "I'd say their entire family shouldn't be here ifthey're. I ain't sleepin' safe knowin' there's people willin' to murder in the student body." An idle step is taken forward, he too joins them in their stance.
(Jude Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:15] Jude Cirque says, "*shouldn't be here."
[05:17] "ENOUGH!" Maple snapped at the teens who wished for more bloodshed.

"'f ye want t' be o' actual USE go find a f*ckin' med-kit, t' save this one's LIFE! Don' ho fightin' mo, this one will get 'es just cause in due time!"

Sh*t, she wasn't cut out to be a schoo manager.. managing children. F*ck. SH*t.

Turning her focus to the de-armed one, she reached for the arm itself while then picking them up with a heave, altering gravity slightly to make it easier. A hand was placed upon the open wound to keep the blood where it needed, extra pressure added with her gravity magic, and she stared directly at the two who raised a challenge.

"Ye two, come with me. NOW."
(Maple Grace)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:18] Sebas says, "I'll kill you too."
[05:18] Sebas says, "Shut it."
[05:18] Maple Grace says, "Tha's fine, kill me later."
[05:20] Slice.

He'd been expecting her to claim victory, but his expectations are crushed as her arm plummets into the sands. Leonidas closes his eyes for a moment and aims to process it. For months that girl had been harassing Alanis.

Disrupting classes, following her around, taking every opportunity to goad her. He'd unfortunately witnessed it time, and time again. Yet each time she'd been confronted, she feigned ignorance to a degree that extended far beyond their mortal coils.

Should Alanis have to suffer due to that things lack of self-awareness?

Next to his cousin her murmurs, venting a few of his initial frustrations. Either hand curls into a fist, and he grows uncertain of what to do. Uncertain of what he can do. He'd never been adept at combat.

That wasn't going to change in an instant.

"I'll make one."

Leondias closes opens his eyes and hones in on Sebas. Between their minds forms a bridge, and he'd begin to feel fragments of the Grimmore's fear and frustrations. Subtly agging him on.

"Don't die, cousin."
(Leonidas ven Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:20] "...Mnn."

The inclinations of other students acting out had been palpable at best to him - Although, what strongly attracts his attention is that of the Grace's interference. To such, his hand rested at his hip.

At Katana.

Footsteps trail him toward Sebas, tilting a head.

"We're in the same line of work. If this one-winged Dragon gets in your way, we'll stop that. Besides, what kind of Drakanite loses a wing?

Foolhardy."
(Aki Hellsing)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:24] Jude Cirque has placed Amber into the chest.
[05:25] Jude Cirque has placed Glowing Mushroom (x3) into the chest.
[05:25] Jude Cirque has placed Poppylus (x90) into the chest.
[05:25] Jude Cirque has placed Air Crystal (x178) into the chest.
[05:26] Jude Cirque has placed Fairy Powder (x2) into the chest.
[05:26] Jude Cirque has placed Poppylus (x104) into the chest.
[05:26] Jude Cirque has taken Sunglsses from the chest.
[05:27] {Item} You picked up Physical Attunement. Dropped by Jude Cirque..
[05:29] Maple Grace exclaims, "DO NOT F*CKIN' FIGHT! Ah'm WARNIN' YE!"
[05:30] At this point? Kana was used to seeing all sorts of scuffles at the result of petty insults, but this? The force behind their swings and their intent could be seen from even at a glance. It wasn't going to end well.

And it didn't.

That slice that sees the girl's limb torn from her shoulder leaves her wincing, the thought of the pain she must've felt something Kana can't imagine. She's one for fighting, but losing an actual limb? Ouch.

The blood curdling shouts draw her lips into a frown, and when the Grace steps forth to try and stop the advance of a wild pack of children, she can't help but to pity the woman. After that display? There'd be no stopping them.

"...Don't get yourself hurt, Callahan. Because then I'll have to actually care."
(Kana)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:36] With the trauma kit handed off, he feels the faintest sense of relief, but surely there is more he could do. Standing on the side-lines doing nothing felt useless. Worthless.

Think, Leo.

Think.

What would rushing in and risking an arm do for her? Ruin the very hands that could rebuild what she'd lost? Violence had become an every day part of the academy. He was growing used to it, little by little, but it wasn't his forte.

There is a desire to see the one defending Alanis stalker and adversary suffer, but that'd only add to this perpetual cycle of loss, now wouldn't it?

Wait.

The Grimmore reaches into his pocket grabbing hold of his cube made from primordial ooze. If this could place things into a state of statis, then surely...

Discreetly, the cube is flipped open. His palm is directed in the way of Alanis' severed arm, and a series of ancient runes begin to spread across the sands. Performing a feat that should be well beyond his capabilities.

That arm begins to fade away into no more than mana particles, less one aims to stop him from saving her missing limb.
(Leonidas ven Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:43] Gin just watches with an uninterested gaze. He cares little about the outcome. Who comes out with severe injuries and who does not. Who lives and who dies. His blank expression changes to a look of disgust after hearing what Aki says.

"Same line of work? Disappoint me everyday brother."

The drakanite shakes his head as he sighs. It is worse than he initially thought. The two brothers will need to have another talk.
(Gin Hellsing)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:43] Sebas says, "... Mind your tongue, Aki is quite admirable."
[05:44] The constant back and forth is potent. Steel crashing against steel, warrior against warrior. Callahan's goal is not to kill Bruce however and that much is clear. Blocking the constant assault of bones, the Gardios escapes with his vitality intact and his senses alert.

Forward he moves, much like Claramonde. A hand snatches Bruce's face, fingers indenting into the countenance of the imperial rhoynish and grasping him, slams head into the cavern floor. It knocks the Chrome out for a second, perhaps two but then they're alert.

Gears churning once more.

And heaving and huffing, Callahan stands over him. A gold glow echoing off his figure in droves. Thoughts process, a decision to be made likely and his young mind seeks to understand. There's a brief moment where those golden eyes of the Gardios light up and the world around becomes visible, palpable. The lifestream touches him for a second and drawing his sword down, there's a slice.

Yet, it's not physical. It's ethereal and as the sword swing finishes, a yellow outline trails after. A cut upon the mana circuits of the Chrome, hindering them and cutting several to weaken his connection with his magic and thus his ancestors.. Perhaps one day for the rhoynish to overcome.

"What you've done isn't an eye for an eye. Even if I can understand your rage at your sister being hurt," critical thought as the teenager tries his best to determine. The blade returns to his side as those burning gold eyes fade to a duller shade.

"You're expelled from the school. You won't be coming back, Bruce. Get out, go."
(Callahan K. Gardios)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:44] Gin Hellsing asks, "Who the f*ck was talking to you?"
[05:44] Click.

Clack.

Long had existence grown still and common sense replaced by no more than a burning rage. Proper was each movement as his status was one mixed among legends, a servant to those who would one day change this continent as a whole. He who had long since sworn himself unto a higher purpose, moving ahead of all others.

Filth had been handled.

"... Excellent work, Callahan." Smiling through that burning agitation which threatened to spill from his being. Composed as arms remain folded ever so perfectly behind his back, posture ever so important when looming above any and all. No matter how low, all that which mattered was his perception wouldn't be ruined.

Just this once.

"You truly did believe you were worth something..." Voice as calm as he could force such to be, unnaturally so amidst the smell of blood and gore. Against all odds had Callahan rose above expectations - And against all odds would he be forced to act once more. Sebas' hand moving from behind his back and a blur so quick to follow.

"You're nothing."

Murderous intent behind but one strike.

To kill this captor of another.
(Sebas)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:46] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:46] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:46] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:47] Groggy eyes of a maroon shade trail the combatants in their dance as well as they can. The Grimmore had just woken up, which was apparent across her features. Echoes of trouble in the morning had drawn her to the nearby caverns.

With time, her gaze finds itself on Alanis fleetingly, the severed arm bringing a faint grimace to her face before her eyes drift back to a more pleasant sight; Callahan standing triumphantly over the older boy's body.

Their spars together had left Ascella a tad nervous for the outcome of this bout, but in the end her kin proved himself more than capable. A quiet relief.

"You move like auntie when you're serious, Cal.

..You weren't holding back against me, were you?", the Grimmore teases, although subtly through a monotonous tone.

The scuffle handled, she returns her attention to her brother and his treatment of her cousin.
(Ascella ven Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:49] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:49] Hearing the help offered by the injured one's cousin, Maple nodded with agreement, and got to work. The bleeding had to be stopped, yet so did this senseless fight- to prevent a murder.

With a swift pressure applied to the stump, Maple conjured a bubble of gravitational mana. It kept the pressure on while she worked. Strands of her own weaved into Alani's skin and flesh, her circuits tied together to tighten the muscle through weaves of mana thread. It would act as a temporary stitching of the wound, and would have been quite the painful ordeal if it wasn't for the girl already being unconscious.

"Ah manged t' still tha bleeding.. When ye get 'er t' help, get them t' clense 'er fro' mah mana t' heal 'er fully. But please, hurry." She said, then offered the unconscious girl to Leonidas, before standing up.

Turning towards the battlefield, the unconscious body of Bruce and the surrounding oftwo students with bloodthirst in their eye, Maple took swift strides forward to intervene.
(Maple Grace)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:49] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:50] Intercept Sebas strike.
(Maple Grace)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:50] Gin Hellsing whispers something.
[05:51] Bruce was knocked out cold for a second or two, before waking up himself - his right arm weakened by the ethereal slice poised to him by the Gradios.

He still didn't know where he'd been, this was all too - hm - too new to him, to say the least. To lose a fight. Clearly Callahan was the better man this time, and there was nothing for Bruce to say.

To leave the Academy however? Well, he needed to have a word with Benedict about that.

He still, however, avenged his sister - and that's all that matters, to say the least - if they were to gang up on him like vultures? Well, that matters little to him, he made his goal and got the result expected from it, he was a simple man.

He could die happy if he got what he wanted and that was what he did.

A gaze towards Sebas, not a single word muttered afterwards - the bloodlust is shared and it appears that Chrome was going to give him every chance to strike him down now.

He smirked.

The pain was unbearable, but he still smirked.

"Do it, coward. You won't get another chance." Though, to Callahan - not a single word is muttered, he won, after all - and all Bruce has to him is respect.
(Bruce Chrome)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:53] There were many things that Jude would opt to stand idly by for. Yet one who dare swoop against a friend was not one of them.

As the drakanite makes moves to slide in to intercept Sebas, a flash of irradiated vines trickle and jut like an appended from the Cirque's sleeves.

"Leave 'em alone," he mutters, primed to not sit whilst the real intervention betwixt Sebas and Callahan held more precedence.
(Jude Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:53] There was no bloodlust within his eyes, contrary to Maple's belief but he didn't follow laws to the exact letter of the law. Lungs expand and deflate. It was over, so it seemed. Even Sebas and Ascella congratulated him. Then there's that incredibly fast punch. A black blur.

Fist looking to impart more harm upon Chrome.

Callahan couldn't sit idly by even if he didn't agree with the Chrome. The exact details of the blow are not known but sword twists forward to meet the fist of Sebas. Another battle, so close after the last.
(Callahan K. Gardios)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:53] i shud be sleeping, but i swoosh against one winged drakanite
(Jude Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:55] "... You're defending filth, Callahan."

Audible was the sound of a fist colliding against the flat of a blade. Explosive strength which shook this very cavern to its core in this single most instance. Unknown to but a single man that he was acting with faith placed upon no more than one who will accomplish nothing.

No matter.

Pushing through and striking against all which sought to impede his path. Callahan was but another which could be pushed to the wayside in but a single moment. Ready and willing to bleed for this future.
(Sebas)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:58] Jude runs his pockets like he ran Alanis'.
(Jude Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[05:58] You stole Bruce Chrome's Bronze Cap.
[05:58] It was a mess, but she wasn't dead, so this can be fixed. As the arm seemingly fades away, he fiddles with his cube for a moment. The Divine Archive managed to keep it frozen in time. While the possibilities were nigh endless with it's use, for now?

It'd be used to potentially keep her from being severely wounded. Even the best prosthetics can only do so much for a situation like this.

A sigh of relief as the first part of his intentions is successful, but...

When Sebas moves forward, his eyes grow wide.

Maples words are regarded with a nod, and he moves to lift Alanis from the ground. She's held carefully as he relocates, keeping his distance from the chaos that continues to brew. He side-eyes his sister for a moment, half scowling. Thankful that none had dragged her into this.
(Leonidas ven Grimmore)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[06:07] As maple went to block the striking blow of Sebas, Jude stepped n between and blocked her interfearance.

"What 're ye doin?!" She barked at them a bit stumped at the interfearing! SHe was an adult trying to control the situation, yet they seemed to crave chaos?

"Get out o' mah way ah'm tryin' t' prevent mo' bloodshed-"
Too late .The fight had already broken out behind her.

"Sh*t."
(Maple Grace)

NOTE: The remainder of the logs is unimportant/irrelevant.
