Thom - The capture of Ken Veese

[09:28:06] "They showed me mercy."

Dr Veese wouldn't be here today if not for the mercy given to him. Only a devil would go back on such a prize of life being handed back to him. The man all the more curious of why someone would spare him in such an aggressive lethal scene . And of course this made Dr Veese's mind run rampant. He'd say the above to the young one following him, Zain.

As he arrived, he expected aggression, him to take insults or banter until he'd get his chance to speak.

"It seems I have made a mistake. This group here, isn't with Nostavale......" Dr Veese only hoping him bringing Zain here in one peace helped his chances of not being attacked and coming in peace.
(Ken Veese)
[09:30:40] As Ken arrived in Cinderfall he'd look to Ken and loudly proclaim.

"Hey guys, that dude who showed up, made problems, and was declared to be killed or captured on sight just strolled into Cinderfall as though its no big deal" He'd look to Thom and the Ghost.

"So I can't fight him on my own, I doubt either of us can beat him in a one versus one, you guys gonna help me kick this guys butt, then kill him or capture him so we can get this over with quick?" He would ask

He'd then look to Ken. "Man, how stupid are you." He'd then pull out the sash number 24, "Also take your stupid little sash, no one here wants to play your lame little game. So yeah, you can turn yourself in willignly, oooor you can deal with about.... all of us?" He'd look to the others, "Yeah, all of us."

"Your call." He'd then look to Zain. "Hey brother, good to see you."
(Yorrick)
[09:40:03] Ken Veese. Lucius wasn't surprised he had returned. He was surprised, however, that he had returned without an army. Lucius would approach the man, his spear drawn and shield raised. A few orders would be barked out. Though Lucius doubted he would actually listen. Though perhaps he might actually do so...

"Ken Veese! Drop any weapons you hold, and keep your hands where they can be seen. Refusal to do so will be met with force."

The heat in the air around Ken would become almost unbearably hot. As would the ground, as molten Lava swirled around in collected pockets below. By now, the entire camp would be aware he was here. At this point, it was clear the only good option was to comply with Lucius' commands. Lest something far more pleasant happen.
(Lucius Volusenna)
[09:43:28] Turning into an excited kid at a candystore now. Pressley jumped up into the air. He was apart of the flames! The leader granted him approval. He was now apart of a family. He smiled and saluted her once more even better then the last time. He turned to Thom and gave him a pat on his shoulder.

"Seems Im apart of the group. I bet we can be great friends then!"

Pressley then turned as the mood kind of changed. He glanced at the dragon that yawned, and so badly wanted to waltz over and just touch it. It was on his to do list to become a hero. Touch a dragon, after that become as good as warrior as he can. Along with pulling his own weight, to where anyone could count on him. He glanced at Yorrick who spoke of somone entering the camp that was unwelcomed. This was his chance to join his brothers in arms and defend his new home. Not really well trained. But Pressley would still do what was asked of him. If this was an enemy, then the enemy couldn't go unpunished.

"I give my oath here and now. I will help the flame grow and spread like wildfire diminshing the dark with the light. If anyone taints that, or attempts to put out this flame. I Pressley Maltiva will take it upon myself to stop them."

Standing next to Thom a little behind Yorrick as Pressley drew his sword from his sheath on his left side. A whistle came from the lips as Jax sprinted out of seemingly nowhere standing on his right. The sword was held by the lower end fo the blade as the hilt pointed towards Ken at his hip. Seeing a few others from camp coming around now it appeared this guy was bad news. A little confused, Pressley was gonna do what the others did however.
(Pressley Maltiva)
[09:47:44] Enter Ken Veese.

Thom's glowing eyes would have been torn from Pressley as a man walked into Cinderfall's camp, a man that Thom knew all too well. The orange haired youth nearly snarled as the form of Ken Veese entered the small encampment, angry because once again he brought Zain with him. Luckily the boy wasn't in harms way this time but..

"I'm going to have to do something real quick Pressley. Hope you don't mind." Thom stated, red lighting around him flickering as the youth teleported off to one of Ken Veese's sides, glaring at the man and drawing his glaive a bit.

"YOU!!!" The boy declared, thrusting a finger outwards towards Ken with anger on his face. The glowing eyes seemed almost blinding now in how bright htey were. But Maria had left so it wasn't like he would try to hold himself back that much. Instead he glanced ot Lucius and Yorrick.

"Both of you let me fight him. I have a score to settle. Unless he wants to run again. I want to fight him! Alone!!"
(Thom)
[09:54:33] Zain had followed the man, and he had been in silence for a long time as they had came to the place of the so called rebellion. He had followed behind him, and he had seen the faces of peiople he knew... Mainly of course, his brother Yorrick, and friend, Thom. He had looked around him for only a moment, noticing what this was quickly turning into.

He would sigh. "Really... it was idiotic to use me to get to Thom first, but now for this entire place.." He would sigh once more. "The doctor isn't as smart as he thought he was, huh?" Out of nowhere, Zain's wings would burst out. With no hesitation, he wijngs would create a rush of wind forward, thrusting him backwards with a jump, landing close to Thom.

"Thom, I thought you told me otherwise my friend... This to together, remember? Now don't go breaking that.."
(Zain Adaliah)
[09:57:58] "Cute. By the way child, you are free to go with your friends, the plan with you didn't work out." Dr Veese thought he'd be on good terms if he brought someone from the group back in peace. Him simply letting Zain rejoin the group.

"An apology is rather late, isn't it? I only assumed this group to be with Nostavale, so I was aiming to lower the forces with capture." Him aware he couldn't get too many words in being his place here.

"Now, either we can talk, or you can all be angry at yourselves that one old man, out ran you all. Hmm?" Dr Veese could only assume this to end up with him having to flee.. But hopefully some good to come from an allyship.
(Ken Veese)
[10:01:23] He'd look to Thom first. "Thom..." His tone started to get more and more annoyed and he'd do something the boy never did, something he always tried to avoid. He'd curse.

"Put your fucking dick away and get in line, he showed up, he attacked the camp, your not fighting him alone. I get you have beef with him, but no, we're getting this over with quick, I will smack the shit out of you if you don't fall in line man, we've got bigger things to deal with" He'd say before looking to Ken.

"Y'know, I've met a lot of bad people over the years, Doctor" He'd say the word doctor in a mocking tone, "But you? You take the cake. Not because your super impressive and evil, kind've the opposite. Dude, you are pathetic. You wanna run? Try it. But when we catch you, I'm taking your flipping legs."

"So thats your options buddy. Turn yourself in, face punishment. Or try to run, and hey, who knows, MAYBE you'll get away. But you can live with this knowledge. If you don't? Your running days are over princess."

He'd draw his spirit blade and look to Lucius, Thom, and Zain, before motioning to Ken. "Shall we?"
(Yorrick)
[10:09:04] "Thom. We all have our own grievances with him as well, and now he's here. He hasn't complied, so we take him down together."

Lucius would raise his spear up, and form a fireball at it's tip. Aiming it straight at Ken, it was clear that there was no chance of an Alliance. He had only two choices at this point. Stand and fight, or flee. Though, surely by now he had realized that Fleeing would be harder when he found himself, quite literally, surrounded in the middle of the camp.

"You've recieved Mercy once already. You will not be recieving it again. Make your choice, and we'll see how things go."
(Lucius Volusenna)
[10:12:28] Maria would lead Orin back into the camp, only to raise a finger back at him to stop. There was a commotion ahead, and Maria would immediately sight the source of it. "Oh second thought Orin," She spoke, drawing her sword, "Head back to the waters. We've got an uninvited guest."
(Maria Shateiel)
[10:15:02] After spending some time gathering some of his wits, he noticed there was an uproar of some sort in the encampment, he was amused. "Do you know what the issue is here/ I'm not sure. Whose the one that needs to 'turn themselves in'?"
(Siegfried Adalbrun)
[10:19:18] Ears flicking and head tilting, the young Siren would look ahead to see way more people than needed. Hmm, he did not like this... what was going o-- wait, did she just bring him over here to tell him to turn around and go back to the water? . . .This upset fish boy. Tilting his head back he would point his chin into the air, giving a little pout as he crossed his arms, clearly not happy with what was happening.

"No thank you." He said, his soft voice sounding melodic, almost enough to calm everyone in the area even through his fit of frustration. With everything he wanted to say being said, he would walk right passed the 'intruders' before leaving the area completely. . . there had to be some fun out there somewhere right... hmmm, yeah let's go have some fun!

"Goodbye." He said as he turned back to leave with at least a goodbye, just before spinning elegantly as he walked, just to face the right direction. That is... unless he was stopped...
(Orin)
[10:21:00] Dang it all..

Thom didn't even want to capture Ken at this point, just punch the guy's lights out or something with his own to hands. The glowing eyes glanced towards Zain, Yorrick, and Lucius as the urge to hurt Ken by himself grew larger but he managed to reel it back in, twirling his glaive as he drew it from his back, red sparks flying.

"Fine. We'll do this your way. But if he runs and only I catch him I'm doing it my way." the orange haired youth stated simply. Capture would be best for the camp but Thom really wanted to give Ken a piece of his mind. The glowing hues would then direct back to Ken Veese as he gripped the glaive.

"So are you going to run or let yourself be captured Ken?"

It seemed Maria was returning with Takeo but the fish seemed.. not to be coming over. Odd but he didn't question it. He was much more focused on the doctor and Cinderfall's forces.
(Thom)
[10:25:16] "A lot of talk, and no one swings."

Dr Veese was awaiting to be attacked, not afraid of the pursuers, none of them seem to have much speed to them. Of course his choice would be to have to run if things were too get messy. But eventually the leader would float back to the conversation, being no one had swung or attacked him, just spoke, he'd look over to her.

"You gave me mercy last time. Could have killed me right then and there. Either you're too nice, or you knew I made a mistake."

Could be the ladder. Him looking at all the magi in stance to maybe attack. Above the uproar of children he'd get one last word in.

"This Group, Hydra Larencia and her group, and confirmed Quazia and the sunflower clan is against Nostavale....." A pause. " And I'm the man to glue it together..." His eyes settled on Maria.
(Ken Veese)
[10:28:41] He'd look to Maria.

"I swear to Kraus if you give him mercy.... Look, we're all in agreement here that we're capturing him right? This guy is bad news, he showed up and tried to capture the leader before, I walk with a permenant link cause of this squirrel fellating dog lover, lets capture him."

He'd look at Ken. "Seriously. HOW did you think this was a good idea? Are you stupid...... Don't answer that, alright guys lets do this. Beat him down and capture him, since he doesn't appear to be trying to run yet, when we beat him I'll just break his legs"

"Try to run though and I'm a man of my word. I walk with a limp now because of you, I am eager to return the favor." He'd look to Lucius, "Alright buddy, you wanna do the honors of making the first move against him? If you don't, I will. Lets settle this"

"Your not just gonna stroll in and expect forgiveness, you are not trustworthy in the slightest." He'd hold his sword in hand.
(Yorrick)
[10:38:04] So, he was telling them that he just wanted to glue all the groups together. Some big good to beat up nostvale. Even though, he himself was from Loranthis. Lucius had been around long enough to have a pretty good idea about what Ken was actually doing here. And as such, he wasn't buying it.

With a final look towards the other, Lucius would launch the fireball high into the air. His shield raised, the order would be given out. Ken would only have a short window of opportunity to make his choice now. One he should have made before he continued with his taunting.

"Forward! Bring him down, for the camp!"

(Lucius Volusenna)
[10:38:04] Pressley walked over and stood next to Thom. After what all was spoken he kept his mouth shut and listened. It was clear this guy had made and harmed this guild in a way that was to be returned in kind. Honestly tired of waiting, Pressley turned the hilt of his sword around and griped it hard in his right hand. His left hand coming over the top of his right upon the hilt.

"I think it's time to attack. Jax... Relax."

The relax code was telling Jax that Pressley had this under control The wolf sat and whined a little as also wanting a thirst for battle. But this was more then that. Pressley couldn't fight at his best for fear of worryinig about Jax. He wasn't trained well enough yet, and with more then Pressley fighting Jax might get in the way.

"For the flame!"

Pressley shouted and sprinted raised his sword high above his head and yelled. Attacking, not wanting to wait really. The time for talking was long past. As Ken said either they are to nice, or they made a mistake. The nice train stops with Pressley. Last stop pain!
(Pressley Maltiva)
[10:49:10] {combat} Ken Veese has been defeated by Zain Adaliah! They're unable to continue fighting.
[10:49:10] "Sometimes, only one person has to throw a match into the fire for it to be lit."

Dr Veese clearly couldn't win this fight. He was strong that's for sure, but he wasn't strong enough to take you all on at once. He was aware that he couldn't you all at once. But he got his words in before his possibley dying words.

"I still, get what I want." He just needed them to be aware, they had allies, many infact. With that thought alone even in his possible death, Nostavale would fall. Him awaiting his fate while downed from the overwhelming pressure.
(Ken Veese)
[11:07:05] The fight would begin, and for the most part, he had some distance kept from the fight. he had been sending down wave after wave of fireballs in the direction of Ken. He kept his accuracy tight to keep everyone out of range of his attacks. He had remained low to aviod being seen by Ken. He had his attention set on the others, which he could not blame him for. Zain could tell he wasn't as strong as the others.

Though as the battle progressed, he decided to get a little braver. As he saw that Ken was actually putting up a fight against the others, he would jump and start to blast out his holyfire embers. He would try his best to remain out of the way, but still get his damage in. By the time he had done what he wanted to do, Ken was already down.

Zain would be quick to dash to him before anyone else would. Quickly, his arm would begin to pulsate with hoylfire embers, as it would begin to swirl around his hand. His eyes were narrowed and slit green. His intenions could be seen as he spot.

"Yeah... You say you talked to my Aunt Hydra... as far as I'm concerned, you're just someone who doesn't care for others. Twice, you used me, because it was easy for you... So how the fuck does it feel to be on the bottom?" He looked as though he was about to blast out his last beam, if nobody did anything.
(Zain Adaliah)
[11:10:30] Without Loki in his company this itme over, Ramia boldly goes chasing rumours-- this time relating to an outfit he had attempted to join before and been denied, one of self-styled 'Heroes' seeking a better country. Once he was within the Trystle, it wasn't too hard to find signs of travel in a certain direction.

One that opened to a small camp of at least a hundred people, practically a tent village yet. He glances here and there, looking for the one whom was supposedly the leader of the group; their heroine, the one named Maria. He's having trouble though, and probably drawing funny looks for the fact he had horns growing from his head.

Well, he could always claim to be a Drakanite with a funny half-shift if it came to it.

"Hm..."

He idles, parking himself beneath a small tree-- content to keep a look out for now as long as he weren't challenged for his presence, that of a child without a particularly threatening demeanor unlikely to be overly bothered. His eyes can't help but seek out the nearby commotion, one he was content to simply observe.

None of his business.
(Ramia Hirano)
[11:12:12] Danger!

The fight was rather quickly on. Towards the begining Thom would have closed his eyes, reaching to draw the presence from the door in his mind, using his bronze hand to grip the handle, pull it open and draw the strength from within. With that power drawn he went wild, using lighting and fire to tear and strike at Ken Veese. But in the end, it would not be Thom who did the last attack.

Itwould have been a giant wave of yellow looking flows escaping Zain's hands. Which was good, but what would not be good would be the beam Zain seemed keen to release soon afterwords. Ken was already defeated and if that beam hit..

No. Ken was not to be killed. He was supposed to be captured and interogated by Maria and Liara later. Killing Ken would be against the orders of the Eternal flame. And so isntead of allowing Zain to fire the last beam Thom would quickly move, teleporting to Zain and attempting to tackle him, hoping it would throw the beam off target.

"Hey! If I can't fight him one on one because of a promise I have to hold all my promises. If you want to kill Ken it'll be after Maria gives the ok.. She wants him alive, captured and as a member of the flame I can't let him die yet.. Sorry." Thom said, scratching the back of his head.
(Thom)
[11:18:11] Lucius would raise a thin, but durable layer of rock between the beam and Ken. Even if Thom's tackle didn't do it, then the Beam would hit the rock before it hit Ken. Even Lucius knew right now, that he wasn't to be killed. After all, there were some answers he needed to burn out of Ken...

With Thom handling Zain with the tackle, Lucius would take a few moments to conjure up a few thick restraints of bedrock around Ken. They didn't need him running off while the others were busy fighting over whether to kill Ken or not. But now his attention would turn to Zain.

"Not yet! He will die, and very soon. But not, yet. You'll all get your chance at him soon enough."

Lucius would attempt to defuse the situation. Though, given how he still held his weapon, it was clear that he was ready to take Zain down should he continue trying to kill Ken before it was time...
(Lucius Volusenna)
[11:22:27] He'd look to the others after Ken after he had been defeated and Lucius and Thom had stopped his brother. He'd speak loudly.

"While I agree we shouldn't kill him now..... This man came into our camp some months ago, and as a result of his actions I now walk with a limp. In combat I'm less effective and just in general its proven to be quite the hassle to live with, a real embarresment, people look at me funny, its not fun. Its been several months and its yet to fade, and I doubt it ever will."

He'd look to Lucius.

"You made me less effective. You tried to run. Well, I have to return the favor, and I made you a promise." He'd look to the others.

"As I said I agree not to kill him right now, But I'm taking at least one of his legs."
And then he would raise his sword and aim for Kens right leg, though as he raised it high he fully expected someone to stop him. If no one did however, he'd be sinking into his right leg, however if stopped he wouldn't fight his own teammates, just brood silently and be pissed off.
(Yorrick)
[11:25:52] There was something satisfying about the whole scene, the boy crossing his arms and putting his back to the trunk as the now recognised Ken's fate is argued over by a strange group. Presumably, they were amongst the so-called 'Heroes' that maintained the camp.

Not one of them looked to be the girl he was looking for though.

"Guess I'd better not..." he mutters with regret, as tempting as it was to get involved. If they were that determined not to let the man be harmed too badly, they'd surely get in his way too-- so he'd have to be content with this.

At least, until he could speak to the one in charge here.
(Ramia Hirano)
[11:29:16] ". . ."

Dr Veese would await as they all fought over what would be happening to him. The man had gone through more than most had in years in the last 3 days. Really, eh thought he'd be leaving this world with atleast letting the group know that they had allies.

But he'd still be alive-- but with one less leg he started with. And he was no hardened soldier, oh no. He was just one man who picked up magic much later than most Magi.

His hand ot reach out to attempt to stop the cutting of his leg-- but no use....

The pain was so terrible, so fast, and so shocking.... That his eyes would open agape, pupils dilated.. To soon be unconcious.
(Ken Veese)
[11:29:16] Zain had the tackle as his beam would shoot out. It would miss him by a good foot, and fly past. It would instead hit a tree, in which it would cause the tree to literally explode, and what was left, erupted into flames. As flaming timber would approach the ground, it was seeable that Zain had put a lot of power into that, and had full intenion to kill Ken. He would notice Thom on top of him, and he would push away his face in a fury. "Get the fuck off of me." With what he had, he would try and push Thom off of him, and stand back up, breathing heavy.

He would have an obviously angy expression on his face, right towards Thom. "Yeah, we have promises, that we'd fight him together! Never did either of us say we will take that RIGHT from someone." Zain was fueled like a fire, as he would dispell his wings, and sigh in frustration. He'd turn to Yorrcik.

"Take his fuckin' leg if you like... just don't let him die from it." He would look back at Thom, and moreso, to all everyone. "If it's not trouble... I'm sticking around here.." This would go directly to Thom. "But ending him... That's my right, not yours." This fight had brought out a lot of anger in Zain. "You can tell your leader that, too. This fucker used me twice before, and so he can feel my flames before he dies."

He would slowly begin to walk away, leaning against a tree. His eyes would be kept directly on Thom.
(Zain Adaliah)
[11:31:50] Thom: -looks at Zain- you can kill him. But Maria gets what she wants out of him first. I'm.. I'm not going to be the one that kills him.
[11:35:15] When one of the older boys lops off one of the man's legs he couldn't help but betray his nature with an evil grin, green eyes feasting upon the fact one of his enemies was being brutally mutilated-- thoroughly deserved as deemed by the horned boy who'd been his victim twice previously.

He was just itching to get over there and contribute, though to his disappointment the man loses consciousness.

"Is this how things are done here?" He sneers out loud, not particularly caring if he was deemed worthy of a response or not. "He's a real villain, that one. You should just kill him now-- I'll even do it for you, if you prefer."

An arrogant tone is taken despite the fact he's never so much as taken a human life before. He's a bit of a dick.
(Ramia Hirano)
[11:39:31] Yorrick would swing his blade down quick, right above the kneecap, taking off his knee with the rest of his lower leg. He'd burn the wound shut and look to the others. Cutting someones leg off..... It wasn't pleasant, nor was the scent of the wound being burnt shut.

He'd wipe away some tears he felt forming. He wasn't a violent person, he didn't like hurting people. But he was a man of his word, this man had taken from his the ability to walk normally, he returned the favor.

"And so it is done. I don't care who kills him. Whats done is done." He would burn away the lower part of the leg that he had cut off, reducing it to ashes leaving him with one leg and no chance of re-attaching the one that was cut off, unless you can re-attach ashes.

He'd look towards Thom. "I'm no lesser for doing that!" He'd declare, but it sounded like he was trying to justify it to himself more than to Thom, "He had that coming! H-He did..."

He'd sigh and limp over to the table, sitting down with a sigh. It was just one of those days.
(Yorrick)
