Suddenly, the unfortunately familiar voice spoke in the air.
[i]"Clever, Clever, Clever."[/i] The Voice of Felix Coldbourne said in a hushed tone.
English
-
"Of course...[i]you[/i]." Arianna sighed, gripping the torch tightly as she looked upon the scarecrows sadly, shaking her head. "Come on now, Felix. First you disappear before we can even have a fair fight - and now you're using scarecrows to take care of us, because you simply can't yourself. Doesn't help that the scarecrows are some of the better bunch that I've met here."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/23/2017 10:49:35 PM[i]"Are they not great? I'm so excited that you got to know them before you butcher them like infant pigs. Or, is it the other way around? Ah, well, too bad. I do hope Isaac dies though. The little shit."[/i] Felix insulted. For some reason he had a serious feud with Isaac.
-
"I guess Daddy Tywinn punished you real hard for not poisoning my punch when you had the chance, did he? Shame." Isaac joked sarcastically, drawing his shock pistol. "So you're telling me that you're too much of a little bitch to kill me on your own, so you take control of some innocent scarecrows to do the job? That's...really cute." "Isaac.." "Hey, I know what I'm doing."
-
[i]"Oh please, boy. The only time my father punished me was when I excelled in the Magic arts greater then he did. If you want to know how he punished us, ask Alex."[/i] Felix told Isaac back. [i]"Plus, I must know if you two are worth my time first. Actually, just one of you in particular..."[/i]
-
"Look, we both know that you have a thing for Arianna-" "Oh, shut the hell up - Felix is right, you are a little shit." Arianna muttered, sighing. "Guys, this is fun and all, I'm sure that Felix is into other women...he probably wouldn't be trying to kill us both if he wasn't. So can we just...go? Get this over with? Please? I know, so enthusiastic about injuring and potentially killing my newfound friends, or vice versa. God, this is...pathetic."
-
[i]"Um...what?"[/i] Felix asked in confusion. [i]"You two are so ridiculously naive that you are actually confusing me. No matter. You will both die the same."[/i] Then, Felix's voice began to fade. [i]"If you do make it, make your way to Ragnarok. Where your final trial awaits."[/i] [spoiler]https://youtube.com/watch?v=wL3f2lN2T8Y[/spoiler] Then, his voice was gone. Suddenly the scarecrows eyes began to smoke with black mist as they all raised their heads up slowly. The pink and blue hatted crowds suddenly pulled out scythes which seemed to come from no where, while the green and red hatted scarecrows drew rusted sickles. The leader, the ocarina player, put his instrument away as he pointed his massive sword at the two. "T-time to p-play! Hehehe!" He said in an agonized tone.
-
Isaac wasted no words, firing a charged round into the leader's knee and hoping to scorch him to where he couldn't fight as long. Arianna meanwhile took to going in front of Isaac, drawing a singular Blade of Mercy and serving as a defense.
-
The leader reeled back as straw blasted out from its knee, but it remained intact. However this strike left the two open to the rest of the crew. The blue hatted crow swung its Scythe down on Isaac while the pink hatted Crow swung its Scythe towards Arianna's stomach. The green and red hatted crows approached slowly with their sickles.
-
Arianna was the fortunate one of the two - she immediately leaped out of range from the scythe before throwing herself back at the scarecrow, swinging the torch and scorching flames upwards into its chin. It was to utilize the inefficiency of the scythe's range - the scarecrow would be forced to do something else, other than swinging its weapon. Isaac wasn't as lucky. His attempt to dodge to the left was foiled as the scythe blade sunk into his right shoulder, causing a yell of agony to escape his mouth. Yet.. As blood spewed from the wound, it froze over the blade and locked it into place, as Isaac looked up at the crow with renewed energy. At the moment, bits of dried and pouring blood exited his wounds - sealing up the other wounds, yet still causing him quite a lot of pain. "...[i]Go to hell![/i]" He roared, drawing his kama with his left hand and ramming the blade into the scarecrow's neck, while he began to utilize it as a human shield against the others.
-
The blue hatted scarecrow Isaac impaled thwacked the boy off of him. Which sent the injured teen to the ground. It laughed in agony as it reached up to the blade stuck in its neck and pulled it out. Meanwhile, the pink crow Ari was fighting's head lit up In flames and it let out a terrifying laugh as it brought its Scythe back and smacked Ari in her stomach with the shaft of it. Then, the red hatted scarecrow sprinted at Arianna and then leapt through the air as it slashed its Sickles towards her as the green hatted scarecrow slid under the jumping crow to slash at the woman's knees.
-
As Isaac was thrown back, the scythe blade embedded within him was torn from its staff, as he tore it out mid-way and rolled to his feet. The wound stitched itself together, as he sighed. "Great, I'm just as edgy as Mom now.." Arianna was fazed by the immediate bash, but utilized the distance that she had covered via push by immediately leaping back, almost sliding as she found herself next to Isaac. She breathed in and out, sighing as she kept her torch in one hand, her dagger in another. "So fire and attacking in vital spots doesn't work, least fire in small amounts doesn't... ...Decapitation? Music?" She still had the horn upon her being, as she calmly tossed her torch at one of the crows and waited for their assault.
-
As she tossed her torch at the already flaming scarecrow, it let out a cry of laughter as it made its approach. The scarecrows circled the two now, and the leader rose up from its wounds, its leg busted with straw.
-
"...Go." [i]Arianna suddenly drew her Beretta and lunged to the right side, firing rounds specifically at the scarecrow's knees: to simplify the fight, she'd cripple them and finish them from there on. Isaac remained still, backing away as he tightly clasped his shock pistol. He was waiting, really. [/i]
-
She shot the pink scarecrows knee and straw popped out from it as it laughed. As she turned to fire again however, she saw her weapon get cleaved in two out of her hand as the leader spiralled through the air and brought its blade down. The green scarecrow swung its sickle at Ari with a vertical arcing slice. While Arianna fought three, Isaac had to fight two. The blue scarecrow, now unarmed, picked up the tambourine Isaac had left on the ground and began to slam down on it. The red scarecrow then sent its sickle towards the boys gut....
-
Strafing towards the green-hatted scarecrow, Arianna allowed the jagged edge of her blade to catch the hook of the sickle, as she kicked the scarecrow away and...drew the horn at her waist. Backing off from the three, she suddenly raised the horn, sheathed her blade and started to play to the beat of the previous song. "Ari, what are you- SHIT." Isaac yelled as he attempted to dodge, which resulted in the sickle getting stuck within his armored vest. He began battering the blade with his left arm, his Arcane shielding activating to assist him at last.
-
The red hatted sickle wielded crow yanked at the blade as it ripped it out of Isaac's torso, removing it from the armour. Its head began to twitch at the sound of the song and suddenly the blue hatted Crow began to play the tambourine and dance around. The crow that was set aflame walked towards Arianna, its head twitching to the beat as the green hat ran towards her with its sickle, unaffected by the music. Suddenly, the pink scarecrow fell to the ground, and began to smoke and burn. The leader looked at his fallen comrade for a moment before it looked at Arianna. The same went for The red hatted crow that then looked to Arianna, and took its attention off Isaac as its head twitched and it ran towards Ari,
-
Arianna had...an idea. "Isaac, grab a torch and start dancing!" She laughed giddily, beginning to run from the group of skeletons while playing the horn still. Isaac was confused, but...grabbed a torch and began to mimic the hopping of the scarecrows: right foot up, right foot down. Left foot up, left foot down. He was...well, very confused, but did it anyway.
-
The scarecrows then dispersed evenly as they began to dance after the two in a similar fashion. The blue hatted scarecrow suddenly began to walk on air as it played and it began to dance around the room. The leader followed Isaac, its movements moving to the beat, but it did not falter like the rest of the crows who had their weapons to their sides. The green scarecrow tailed Ari, while the red crow turned back to Isaac and began to follow his movements,
-
While the green-hatted scarecrow followed Arianna, she retrieved another torch, holding it out for the scarecrow to take while still dancing - the idea was for him to join the dance and set himself on fire. Isaac did the same with his torch, oddly enough.
-
The red and green scarecrows reached out to the kids in front of them. They were grasping at the torch when suddenly, the leader pulled out the ocarina and played his own song. The crow's heads stopped twitching and they stood in place for a moment before they raised their weapons once more. [i]"Hehehe! Nice try!"[/i] the leader told them.
-
"Oh, please-" Arianna laughed alongside the scarecrow, before casually chucking her torch at her crows, leaping back and drawing her nodachi with both hands. Isaac did what Isaac did best: panic. He dropped the torch and began to run, drawing his pistol as he hoped that the crows would step upon the torch's flames. He stumbled if anything, but was still capable of moving as he took aim with his pistol.
-
The green crow cut through the torch Ari threw at it, and it fell to the ground. The leader stood behind the green crow and saw Isaac doing his...thing. It jumped up into the air and did flips that were coloured by his steel and he landed directly in front of Isaac and slashed upwards at him. The blade but through the boys armour and skinned his chest as the stroke went smoothly across his body.
-
Edited by Orn: 5/25/2017 11:40:59 PM"Your music sucks-" Arianna yelled suddenly, circling around the scarecrows giddily. She was waiting for their mistakes, really. Isaac's immediate reaction was a sudden yell as he threw his fist at the scarecrow's stomach: the result would probably cause the thing to be thrown back, due to the Arcane enhancements.
-
The punch contacted the scarecrow and it was sent sliding across the floor and it crashed into the wall as it passed behind Arianna. However, the red scarecrow took the opportunity to flank Isaac with its sickle and it slashed across his arm, which cut through the muscle and squirted out the vileblood. Then, the green scarecrow cut at Arianna quickly with a flurry of ridiculously co-ordinated slashes.
-
As the wound opened, Isaac gritted his teeth as he allowed the blood to gush into the scarecrow's face, which of his plan worked, would engulf it's eyes and blind it. That wasn't his only reason though. Arianna began to steadily back away, slowly leading the green scarecrow to its leader. An attempt to bring the two together and watch them tear themselves to pieces.
