[i]It was [u]him[/u].[/i]
[i]From beside the pyromancer that held up the shield of compacted, tamed fire, another shield would be cast down, the base point quite literally touching the rugged earth of the road underneath. Gunfire splintered off of the shield's plating, while it's wielder would bolster herself behind it's wall, as she would draw her own weapon and returned fire back: a Bolt Pistol, from the looks of it, firing .59 caliber sized bolts towards the targets ahead. An intent to kill - a rather harsh justice for those who would take hostages.[/i]
[i]The one whom shielded herself was tightly encased within an obsidian black shell of armoring, the compact plates that protected her body consisting of ceramite. The previously holy sigils that were upon her armor surface were now naught: only the knightly helm of which she bore had kept it's sigil - a fleur de lys upon the headpiece. A point to aim for an enemy, and yet a sigil of hope for an ally. Perhaps that was the intent.[/i]
[i]Victoria had.. well, seemingly popped out of nowhere to aid and protect.[/i]

Of course, the bullets would blow their target’s heads to smithereens, leaving them very much deceased. Four fell to the ground before they dispersed, hiding behind what cover they could find from those monster bullets. Vance would look away from their focus towards the one in armor, a grin on his face as he recognized his... whatever their relationship was. “Eyy, Vic! Been a while! A... long while!” He said, tone apologetic. But before he could get on his knees and apologize for running off like a toddler in a candy shop, he turned back to the enemies in the plaza. They thought cover could save them? The veins in his cybernetic limb began glowing once more. It only took a second to heat up, a second which was used to point the arm in the general direction of where a few enemies went to hide. Napalm was launched from the arm, hurtling forth as a hellish inferno that surrounded the enemies. Their screams were very audible, and it was clear that they’d just been scorched alive.

Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 12/29/2017 4:18:39 AM"A while? Not like I've been in two separate wars or anything!" [i]Victoria yelled back, though it was hard to tell if she was genuinely serious about Vance's.. or Victor's.. or Amne's.. or whoever's second disappearance, though she hadn't punched him. Yet, anyway.[/i] [i]Though the super soldier would rip her shield out from the ground once Vance had unleashed his sudden blaze, the fire in the distance flickering off of the black lens that would hide and shield away Victoria's eyes from the ruination of the scene. She sighed a little, staring down at her pistol before clicking on the safety and holstering the weapon.[/i] "They'll be back.. won't they? Or are we coming to them? ...Now all we need is a knocked out child, and this would be deja vu.."

“Deja vu? In what way?” It was evident that though Vance could clearly remember who Victoria was, the details of their meeting were... a little hazy, to say the least. Regardless, he began approaching the scene with caution–his emerald green eyes flickered, changing to a fiery, sapphire blue. His right fingertips were smoldering, giving off thin fumes of smoke with occasional blue sparks. “In truth, I’d like to go to them,” He replied. “I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night until I know this village is safe from these bаstards.” There were still a couple enemies remaining, though that would be swiftly dealt with by a sudden snap of the fingers on his right hand, pointed in the general direction of the hiding kidnappers. After about three-fourths of a second, wild, sapphire flames appeared on them–guttural screams occurred as the unnaturally blue flames devoured and disintegrated their flesh, leaving only their clothing. The blue flames caused no damage. But the napalm had, and Vance went about cleaning that up by simply opening his mouth and inhaling. All of the flames that had been left over from the blast of napalm gravitated toward Vance, literally [i]entering his mouth.[/i] He kept inhaling, and once all the flames were gone, swallowed, exhaled. Their was still the damage from the blast, but at least the fire wouldn’t spread. “On second thought, we probably should’ve kept one alive for interrogation,” He reflected, now that he was trying to look for their hideout. “If they even speak English.”

[i]Victoria would keep her silence as Vance would finish off the remaining combatants that had escaped the wrath of flame and onslaught of bullets. She would also keep quiet as Vance.. well, swallowed the flames, as if devouring them for a later use.[/i] [i]She was a little tempted to see if she could pull that off, jokingly.[/i] "We can wait for them to reveal themselves, but that would beg for a surprise assault. Asking around town, though.. We could do that, if anyone here speaks English at all."

“Whelp... guess we could call this a date?” He asked with a slight, joking grin. A date through some obscure, foreign village where they couldn’t read or understand a thing, trying to find a bunch of bad guys of which the only information they had were that they were bad guys. Secretly, Vance was quite the romantic. Regardless, he would begin leading the way by exiting the plaza the same way he’d entered, picking up his cloak along the way. He threw the piece of cloth over himself, inserted his arms through their respective spots, then began strolling through the now-deserted streets like he owned the place. As he walked, he’d think out loud, half to himself, half to Victoria. “If I were the leader of a criminal faction in a village I was trying to take over or whatever their goal is... where would I hide?” He looked around at the vendor stalls that were scattered through the street after the human stampede. They were abandoned, yes, but Vance wasn’t looking for people. “Vic, if ya find a map of this town anywhere, let me know,” He said. If nobody was around to ask for information, they could try finding it on their own.

"A date.." [i]Victoria almost laughed at the situation that the two of them were in, and quite frankly, actually did find it.. well, unique. Two abnormal individuals, one of them a fire-eating pyromancer and the other being a super soldier pyromancer, in a town that seemingly only spoke a foreign language, while they were searching for a few assholes that were causing trouble. Victoria liked the sound of it.[/i] "I doubt that they would have a visitor center around here. And I'd hate to disturb some vendor's goods, but.." [i]Victoria would go to studying the empty stalls and the buildings around the town, that emotionless helmet scanning the Western-styled buildings for any signs of.. anything, really. She had doubted that she would find any maps considering how small the place was, but she would study the empty stalls still.[/i]
