The Shattered Kingdom (The RP)

"Alright, I think we're all in agreement. Fighting is the only way out of this." Eva purred, her inner eye tracking the progress of the mob of soldiers. When they reached a more open area, she launched herself in a blur of purple fur out into the open, a sharp cry echoing behind her.

She struck fast, slamming hard into the nearest soldier, a sandy haired Raticate gijinka. She sent him flying back into his peers, knocking quite a few of them over.
 
Robert paid no heed to the Shedinja Gijinka and its Ninjask companion that had just arrived. His attention was focused all on the ringleader of this group, the Espeon, who was suggesting they attack.

"Well, what else would you expect us to do," he muttered, "sit around and wait for them to trample us?"

He didn't expect any response to that question - the option of rolling over and letting the enemy kill them wasn't an option at all

Regardless, the Espeon charged off against the soldiers not long after Robert had asked that question. Grinning like the maniac he was underneath that helmet, the Bisharp Gijinka leaped forward after the Espeon, tackling a Cinccino Gijinka mid-leap. The impact knocked the wind out of the Gijinka even as Robert sliced the creature's neck with his blades.

"One down," he said, continuing to grin.
 
Angel was out full force now, slamming several Gijinka into each other, Eva lifted the small group and dropped them from high up, creating an unsightly splatter of blood, as well as effectively killing the 5 or so Gijinka she'd slammed into the ground, as well as knocking a few more down.
 
Ri glared at the army. One, a Tropius Gijinka, was coming towards her.

"Do you really wanna fight? Then alright." Ri said, smirking.

She rammed into him with force. As he teetered, she kicked his leg, sending him to the ground.
 
Nicki, even though Marshall snapped at her to stay back, dashed forward and flung herself at a Raichu Gijinka. The Raichu noticed her coming, and was hastily preparing a Thundershock when Nicki spat out a number of red-hot embers. The opposing Gijinka cried out in pain has the tiny flames scorched his face, falling backwards onto his lightning-shaped tail. The Rapidash finished him off by whipping his across his face with her fiery tail, burning him even more.

Meanwhile, Marshall noticed an Electrode running up behind the Espeon Gijinka, about to Tackle her. Marshall quickly ran up to her, pushing her aside in his haste to save her, and Roared in its face. The Electrode stopped in its tracks, and started to back up, then fled in terror. Emin pondered whether he should let the other Gijinka get away, put realized he might alert Voltaire about them. So, he took off after his, spitting poison out after the Electrode. The toxin hit the Electrode's back, and he screamed in pain as the poison started to sink in. It fell onto its knees, and started to retch horribly. Emin flinched when the Electrode stopped vomiting, and fell over onto its side, lifeless. He almost felt a little bad for what he had done to him.

He finally turned back towards the Espeon, and said, "You're welcome."
 
(woah jesus you guys post a lot)

Emil felt the battle before he saw it.

His horn-blade gave a dull throb, not a strong one like a natural disaster would cause, but there nonetheless. He heard the clash of battle, and made his way towards it, fur bristling and claws ready. The Absol climbed a half-shattered pillar quickly, overlooking the fight. There were some who looked to be exiled ones - barely any of them looked much older than 18. Where were their parents? He throught angrily, before standing on top of the ruin.

He started to growl, low and deep, but it quickly became a loud snarling bark infused with dark energy, which washed over the attacking soldiers. When he saw a few of them startled and look around, Emil took that as his chance to jump down into the fray, locking blades with a Gallade.

The fight was quick, but brutal, blades and claws and the occasional burst of energy being produced, but in the end Emil got out with a slash over his nose and a few bruises, and his teeth, claws, and blade stained with blood. He gave another loud Snarl, standing over the body for a moment, before tackling the nearest soldier with a flash of claws and teeth.
 
The battle was being won, just by looking around her Nyra could tell. Snickering she walked behind at another Ghost Gijinka and focused a small blob of ghostly energy in her hands. Releasing it at the back of the other ghost, she then launched herself at him.

Concentrating too much on trying to lay a curse on him, he had grabbed her arm. He seemed to be a Dusclops Gijinka, she could tell by the eyes and hands. He was preparing to confuse her with Confuse Ray, but she reacted quicker by using a quick Sucker Punch and hitting him in the jaw. This caused him to losen his grip just enough for her to get her arm back.

Though she had her arm back she acted as though she were defeated, and let him get in closer to her. Quickly sweeping his feet from under him, she pinned him to the ground.

"You are no ghostly brother of mine." She hissed at him as she raised one hand charging another Shadow Ball. Aiming for a fatal blow this time. Before she released the energy on him she heard him say, "Aye, and you would never be a ghostly sister of mine because of you joining them."

After he had hissed that last word she fired. Though this had only enraged her to shoot more Shadow Balls at him, after a while she finally stood up. Either her eyes were playing tricks on her, or she saw the truth. He had winked at her before she aimed. Finally she just kicked the body out of the way.

She could feel blood on her arm and there was a bruise where he had grabbed her. She must have been hit by one of the stray moves. Nyra looked around. Her mind needed to be set off of this and she needed to kill something else. Now. Glaring around for her next prey she was thinking to herself, This is why you cannot have relationships, it will only lead to death for one or the other, and loneliness too.
 
Marshall nodded at the Espeon.

"You're welcome." He then held out his hand.

"I'm Marshall," he greeted her, before noticing an Electabuzz charging at him at light speed. He was hit by the Quick Attack, and fell over. The Electabuzz pinned him to the floor, pressing the rings around his wrists against the ground. Then the Electric-type started to give him a deadly stare, and Emin became unnerved, almost scared. He felt like the Electabuzz was staring into his soul. A second later, the Electric element jumped off of him, scared by a sudden Growl at Marshall's side. Nicki was on all four hooves, Growling viciously at the Electabuzz Gijinka.

"Get off of my mate," she growled, flames igniting even more and she took a step towards him. She then raised her front hooves high, and brought them down on the opposing Gijinka. His head caved in, and he lay in a puddle of his own blood on the ground. Marshall felt like retching, and when bile climbed up his throat, he forced himself to swallow it again. Meanwhile, Nicki just smiled at him, though her eyebrows were furrowed in disgust.

"I'm sorry, baby." She gave him a quick embrace before jumping back into battle.
 
The fight was seeming to be an easy victory, and Mailynn joined by releasing a pulse of energy towards a Gabite Gijinka. As she approached to hit another blow, Mai saw the drops of blood slipping away from his skin near his eye. Mai could not bear this.

"Just DIE!" she psychotically screamed as she punched him with a fist of ice. "Leave already!" And as she said those words, Mai did not notice that the Gijinka was frightfully dead.

The Dragonite Gijinka turned to look for another, trying to maintain her sanity. There was a Grumpig Gijinka aiming for her with its Shadow Ball. Unknowingly, Mai became outraged and repeatedly striked the Gijinka with beams and fists before the ball of shadow could be released from the center of its chest.

Mentally, Mailynn was conflicting with herself. It was against her policies and such to kill, but she felt as if there were no choice. As the last bit of life escaped the Grumpig Gijinka's corpse, she calmed herself, standing in shock and fear of her own abilities and previous actions.
 
Eva had slipped away from Marshall during this time, in search for the one she knew would be commanding the others. She found him quite quickly, a Mienshao Gijinka hanging out in the back of the mob, and immediately blasted him to the ground with a powerful Shadow Ball.

She stepped up to him and laid one of her heels on his throat lightly. Unless he wanted to pierce his own throat, he'd stay still and answer her questions.

"So, this is what Voltaire is reduced to...sending his weakest squad out to exterminate the exiled...It's pitiful really..." Angel spoke, her voice deceptively soft and lilting, as if she were mearly speaking about the weather with someone she hadn't just pinned to the ground with her high heels. A sharp Mean Look ensured that the Mienshao didn't move at all. She didn't want to risk him doing suicide to get out of answering her questions, or killing himself to spare Voltaire's wrath when she let him go back to the capital with her message...and perhaps the messages of several others.
 
Nyra eyed the Dragonite that had just gone into a rage herself. She seemed to be shocked. Nyra could care less, but she walked up to her all the same.

"If you plan to keep on living, I suggest you keep fighting. There is going to more death then what has surrounded you now. A lot more." There wasn't a single note of sympathy in her voice. There was no sympathy for those who can't stand this war that had started.

She looked to the Fire Gijinka's now. If you two plan on living I suggest you go your seperate ways. If one of you were to die the other would just be weakened and captured easier. She didn't say this out loud but she just turned to the next Gijinka that happened to be there.

That ghost had left her mood sour, and she didn't want to take anyone's crap. The next Gijinka she Sucker Punched was a Krokorok. It had turned on her and was slashing at her with dark power in its claws. This hurt her pretty badly and she stumbled backwards some. Blood was now coloring her pale skin red from the scratch marks all along her arms. This wouldn't turn out good for her so she backed away. Insisting on attacking her it wouldn't let up and followed her. This...was not my intention...looks like I'll need help after all...

She looked at the couple again. Biting her lip she moved as fast as she could over to them, not turning her back on her persuer. "I could use a little help, if you don't mind." she said to them, trying to stop the bleeding on her arms while eyeing the Gijinka at the same time. Breathing heavily she was as close as she could get to the Fire ones without being on top on them. Two helping me is better than one...
 
Robert had just finished cutting through a Graveler Gijinka that made the mistake of getting too close to him when he heard the slightest of rustling noises behind him. Reflex kicking in, Robert flipped backward just as a Lucario Gijinka Force Palmed, missing Robert by millimeters. Bringing both of his blades to bear, the Bisharp Gijinka slowly started to circle the Lucario, who in turn circled him.

"Well, I hope that you prove to be a better fighter than the rabble that I've had to put up with so far," Robert taunted, "It's always more satisfying to watch stronger opponents be cut down."

The Lucario Gijinka said nothing, and simply stayed in the same combat stance. Robert did the same - it was clear that neither Gijinka wanted to make the mistake of leaving an opening.

"Not the type for talk? Fine then, let me just cut you up and-"

Robert saw what was going to happen a moment before it did, and jumped to the left as the Lucario went in for the Force Palm. Immediately, he tried to cut it with his blades, but the Lucario Gijinka stopped the blades with the spikes on his hands.

"Well well," Robert laughed, "I think I'm going to enjoy this fight."
 
Marshall noticed the Banette Gijinka fighting a Krokorok, and called his fiance back to his side.

"We need to help her," he said, dodging an attack from a random soldier. He quickly grabbed it's neck in his mouth, and electricity spread through as he bit down hard. The Thunder Fang was super effective. The Blastoise Gijinka fell to the ground, and Emin jumped right over him.

Both he and Nicki turned on the Krokorok Gijinka, stepping in between him and the Banette. As Marshall breathed out a poisonous cloud of Smog, Nicki jumped into the air, erupting into flames, and headed straight for the Krokorok in a Fire Spin attack. The Krokorok had the air knocked out of him as he was hit by the Rapidash Gijinka, and when he exhaled, he caught a big gasp of poison. It started choking immediately, falling over with third-degree burns and his hands darted to his throat. He lay there, gasping for fresh air for a little while before finally dying.

Nicki looked over her shoulder at the Banette, and smiled as a way to say, "You're welcome."
 
Eva was not impressed. The Mienshao proved to be extremely incompetant, and knew nothing of what was happening in the capital at all. He was merely acting on orders to exterminate anything that was outside the walls. With a growl, she stomped her heel down, spearing right through his throat.

"Fool." She muttered angrily, "That was totally useless..."
 
The soldiers approached quickly, and everyone jumped into battle. Claire hovered to turn at Stacy, saying, "I'll need your help for this!" The ninjask nodded, smiled, and ran over to her sister.

"I knew you would," she joked. "You can't take a hit. At all!"

"That's just a part of our gimmick, Stacy," Claire answered. "If I want to survive this, I'm going to need super effective protection." The sister responded by chuckling and protectively starting to circle around her vulnerable sibling.

They worked slowly, but effectively. Their first target they took on was a gallade Gijinka, with long, sharp extensions on his elbows and a similarly pointy crest on his head. He was alone and unaware, a perfect target for the sneak attack.

Claire carefully gathered dark, spectral energy, which she formed into a horrible ball and shot at the unwary soldier. They were close enough to notice, and the angry fighting/psychic type charged after them. Stacy zoomed after him, and knocked him down with a slash to the head. The aerial ace had knocked him down just long enough for her to easily cut him across the chest (the large bump in the middle somewhat resembling a knife in his back made it much simpler) with a terrible x-scissor attack. He stayed on the ground, though he was not yet dead.

Satisfied, the winner of the fight headed back to Stacy. She looked at her expectantly.

"Who's our next target?" she said happily. "That was easy!"

"... We're not done yet, you didn't finish him off." Emotionless, the petried Gijinka conjured more ghostly energy from thin air (though this time it was significantly smaller) and launched it at the bladed young man's head. Patiently making her way to her foe's corpse (and with her sister confusedly trying to get her to explain why the killing was necessary) she tried to make sense of what was going on.

There was a huge commotion, but one thing that stood out was the espeon who was possibly the leader securing a captive and then killing him. Such a silly move! Claire did not hear the full extent of the conversation, but she knew there could have been better ways to spend his life than that.

Ignoring her sister's increasingly more angry questions, Claire motioned for her to follow her to the psychic leader.

"Such a waste," she said to Eva once she got there. "Couldn't you have gotten more inforfation by keeping him for more then five minutes? Although I guess it can't be helped. What did you learn from him?"

Stacy was getting annoyed. Why was her sister avoiding the question? Didn't anyone here have respect for life (she saw that disgusting bisharp on the way here, and it was ridiculous)?

"Why did you kill that gallade Gijinka, Claire?!" she fumed. "I mean, couldn't we have just knocked him unconscious?"
 
"These guys are the weakest in Voltaire's roster, He didn't know anything." She stated, "I'm an Espeon. I can read his mind and get my information that way,"

"Listen good, Ninjask," She said sternly, her eyes flashing darkly, "These guys will not hesitate to exterminate us. So if you hesitate to kill one of them, it may just mean your own death." With that said, she quickly stepped away from her latest kill, looking around.

It seemed as if the whole force was complete decimated already. This was good.
 
"Once Voltaire sees this carnage, he'll send out even more troops." Karina said, "We...should run. Set up a base of operations, I mean. I am not a coward."

She flipped a lock of deep purple hair out of her face.
 
Mailynn had calmed because of the Banette's words. It was right. How could she not expect death in war? Mai felt so arrogant...

She ambled up to the leader, an Espeon Gijinka. "I agree with hair-flipper, here," she interrupted. "Voltaire has too many forces we can handle, and although we may have decimated these troops, they were probably the lowest rank. What we need to do now is retreat and get this little group of ours associated to create a fine working force."

Mai still worried, though, about how that was just one, tiny battle and how gruesome upcoming sights would be that she would have to bear.
 
Nyra saw the one Gijinka smile back at her as if she were telling her "You're welcome." She forced a smirk that looked sincere. She hadn't wanted to ask for help in the first place, let alone thank someone. Looking at her wounds they had pretty much stopped bleeding, though her hands would be stained with blood for a while.

"We run across any streams, tell me. My hands could use a good wash and so could my arms." She said loud enough for the group to hear. Raising her hand to her face she ran her hand across. There were a few wounds there too.

That accursed thing...I am going to get my revenge. One way or another, if I get taken down with one of them they had better be dead first. Her thoughts were taken over with pictures of what she would do to any more soliders she ran into.

A wave of faituge hit her and she sat down on the bloodstained ground. Her shirt was ripped along the sleeves, but she could fix that in due time. Right now she just needed to sit down. This Espeon better get a move on before more come... She thought bitterly.
