I never thought myself the luckiest guy in the world. But this is bloody luficrous. A thousand miles off my destination, someone jumps for no reason and now the coppers... with my luck next thing I'll run into my ex-girlfriend... Oh yeah, and my mouth still tastes like goat bollocks. Fighting the cops is never a good ideia. Dirty cops even less so. If you want to get away from the cops a distraction is probably your best option. After all, if they're not chasing you, it's pretty bloody easy to get away from them. First take a look around. Assess the situation. That kid with the white hair (Theos), he looks like someone the cops would be more than happy to wail on. "LOOK OUT!!!, HE'S GOT A GUN!!!" I project an illusion, it reflects the streetlight. You can see it is clearly there. There's a flash of light. A bang. The gun fires. I take my bag. I take the kids map. I sneak onto the back of the church.
"Woah, woah. Where are you goin?" Asked an excited voice, as a hand grabbed Will's shirt. It was the oldest trick in the book, which novice mages loved to try on cops. All of these cops knew what gunshots looked and sounded like, and Will's illusion didn't convince any of them. Grabbing Will's arm, with his strength magically buffed greatly to prevent escape, the cop whipped out his baton and whacked the side of his knee with a mighty blow. The punches Mikkish gave Will earlier were nothing in comparison.
I mutter under my breath. "Oh great more trouble....and cops no less." I give a grin and hold in a laugh looking at the illusion made. I then begin cussing in my head seeing how the police didn't fall for it. But I figured if there was a way to split them up a bit there was a chance of escape. I would make a shadowy illusion a bit aways of someone running off to see if that would attract any of the cops' attention.
Out of the corner of ones eye, a cop thought he saw a kid running off in the dark of the night, and turned behind him for a second. The distraction only worked for the one cop until the short, skinny, bearded officer shouted "Eddy! Pay attention! Fuck!" He yelled, getting the cops attention back. The man was furious at being bitched at, but was obviously low in rank, so he decided to take it out on these students instead "Ok who the fuck did that?!" He yelled menacingly at anyone in the group who was still standing. Just the, Mikkish got sick of the beating he was getting. Sure, they were the po pos, and standing up to them was more often than not a hopeless endeavor, but it wasn't in Mikkish' nature to take bullshit like this for long. His anger triggered his pyrokinesis, which lit up a nearby tree. Mikkish was pissed, and the heat matched it, burning the tree enough that a flaming branch fell from above and landed on a cops shoulder with a thud, and a crack. "Ah!" The cop barked, as one of his friends put it out immediately, but the branch still had dislocated his shoulder. "Fuck! Get them!" He yelled, pointing his baton at everyone else. At the same time, Mikkish charged energy through his legs, and slid himself out from under the cop that had been beating him, but was now distracted by the burning tree. The sliding had ripped his clothes and given him a few scrapes, but it was nothing compared to the bruises all over his face and body and his bleeding mouth and nose. Mikkish stood up, breathing heavily from exhaustion and rage. "Come on guys! You're not just gonna sit on your fucking ass while I take care of them myself are you?" Mikkish yelled to the other students there, hoping to inspire them to fight these cops, though knowing they likely wouldn't.
"Stop that right now, he's not offering any resistance!" I said, I looked at the officers calmly, I had no reason to be afraid. "What are the charges officer?" I asked crossing my arms, it must be a mistake... perhaps it was the fight, but... that wouldn't explain why we're all under arrest, after all they're witnesses, one man was attacked, I was just trying to defend him, and Mikkish was the aggressor, it made sense, he was the one to cause it all... then he just had to go attack the officers. "...Forget about the lack of resistance." I muttered. "Mikkish, stand down, you're only making things worse!" I said.
I look to Joe like he was an idiot. "You really can't tell cops apart can ya? Like these guys care what you have or haven't done as long as they get the money for the arrest." I say. It was too risky to be called out on murder charges if I used my knife so I pretend to pull something out of my pocket and do the motion of throwing something at an officer. Following through with the illusion of a snake in my hand being thrown at the cop. I would then run up behind it and try to aim a punch at the same officers nose to try and disorient him.
Theos watched events unfolding, actions were about to be made until Mikkish used pyromancy to turn the tides a tiny bit more into favor. Without hesitation Theos spawned two duplicates of himself. Scoffing as the clones swiftly closed in on two of the three remaining officers. "Not all of us can ignite trees into candles. Though I can offer this...." Once the two clones would get in range, they would attempt a jump kick aimed at the officers skull. Even if the attack fails, for the remaining time they are existing the clones will continue to attempt to occupy/attack two of the officers.
OH MOTHERFUCKER!!! Huff. Bob. The tag reads. Well 'Bob', you just made my list. The nervous system uses electrical pulses as a means of communication. With a limp your chances of outrunning the cops diminish substantially. Add a bit of electricity and a person will twitch. Because a current's a current, the body can't tell that the current is being generated by an outside source. Let's say you fall back into the steps of a chuch and a guy moves foward to beat the living shit out of you. Sure. You can sit there and take it like a man, there's nothing wrong with that. A flying taser has a compressed gas cartridge inside it. Bob has a taser. Flapping about, poorly strapped, by his leg. A bit of telekinesis might help you get it from him. When the trigger is pulled. When big ugly angry Bob moves in to beat the shit out of you. The trigger, it breaks the cartridge. The gas expands. Pressure builds up. And two electrodes go flying into big fat Bob's faggot prick chest. Add a bit more electricity, something like a taser, and a person will flop around like a fish. Maybe piss himself. I don't know about this fucked up island. But generally, tasers are made to stun, so unless you amplify them by using, I don't know, lightining magic, they'll rarely cause severe damage, unless there's an underlying reason. Add a bit more electricity and it might cause other problems. Such as cardiac arrest. Since Bob's a big bastard, I'll have him take his chances. Bob's dick anyway.
Hi My name is David An agonizing sound of steel being dragged across on concrete sounded from around the corner. Force of whatever was going set out small tremors on the very street the battle was taking place. Even the police halted their movements as car alarms went blaring and lights from various shops switched on as stunned eyes could been peering out the windows. To shock it was David who rounded the corner his face painted with an innocent smile as dragged a bus….a freaking bus with both hands. Sparks flying up as he continued dragging it closer and closer towards the police and his friends. His fingers buried into the warped metal of the vehicle, slightly bloodied as he finally pulled them from bowling ball like holes he'd made to get a grip. "Hi!!" He said cheerfully examining the reddish liquid coming from his fingernails. "Hi Mikkish, Joe, Jinx, Nia, cops and people I don't know.....hey where did these new people come from? Hi new people my name is David" David said. "Boy why do I feel like I kinda just disappeared?" He asked. "Like I haven't been talking....but I am talking now." David nodded his head. "Talking, talking, talking....I'm still talking, what was I saying Junior?" The Sword growled this time not within David's mind the blade sounded like a dragon awoken from its peaceful slumber but the words only David heard. "You brought a bus to help your friends." David nodded pleased. "That's right! I brought this bus!" He his grin widened and before anyone could utter a sentence David slipped his hands back into the make shift holes and began to pull upward eleven ton machine upward. His muscles tightening and magic radiating off him as he hoisted it over his shoulders for the group to get a better view, sweat beads forming on his forehead his cheeks slightly red from the strain. "Sorry I'm late. Since we were hunting a killer, I wanted a weapon." He breathed "You have a weapon...." Junior let out a sigh that could kill flowers. "But I don't have a bus!" David looked at the wide and confused eyes. "Soooooo what's going on?" He asked casually
I stood there slack jawed, my left eye twitching as everyone just began to fight the police... and then here comes David, with a BUS. He's literally wielding an eleven ton BUS. Dear god we're all going to jail for assaulting officers, or in David's case murdering some if he swings that thing at them... or at us, I raised my hands up to David. "Hey buddy, how about you set that bus down, okay? I think that this has all just gotten a bit out of hand and we all need to just calm down and talk this through, there's no need for violence and there's no need to continue this fight, okay?" I asked, I looked at everyone as I spoke, I did my best to try to push out the area of my calming effect so then it would envelop everyone and we could come to a peaceful resolution without anymore violence. Leon was watching all of this from afar, he smirked and slunk away back to his dorm to grab something, that annoying doppelganger was an idiot, this wasn't going to get solved without some bloodshed... and he wanted in on the action.
Mikkish just paused as he stared up at the massive vehicle David was holding. The cops, too, were in shock at what they saw. "Uh..." uttered one of the officers awkwardly. "Arrest him now!" Yelled the most experienced looking member of the group of cops, the one with the dislocated shoulder, who now had his pistol out and aimed at David. All at once, the only two unscathed cops moved in the direction of David, but stopped a good distance for fear of being smashed. Just as their attention was now turned away from the students, Bob, who's genitals were now blackened from the electric assault, was on his knees, literally crying when the burning tree then tipped over, falling through a church window. The tree had almost fallen on top of Bob, but due to the church stopping the fall, the trunk merely whacked him on the head, knocking him out. Then, as if teasing him with his life, the trunk broke, and hot ashes turned the poor man to a ball of flames. "Drop the bus now!" Yelled one of the cops, fear apparent in his eyes as he clutched his baton with a trembling hand.
I heard a loud sound of glass breaking, I turned toward it and saw that the burning tree had fallen and smashed into the church's window, I also saw that one of the officers were knocked unconscious under the tree, I could tell that it could come down at any second, I sighed in exasperation, no one was listening to me anyway, I at least have to help the wounded as best as I could and try to keep loss of life at a minimum. I rushed over to the cop that was under the tree trunk. I grabbed his legs and began to drag him out of harm's way, but he was pretty heavy, I could hear the trunk creaking... It was about to break! I stood up quickly and backed up, I thrust my hands out and enveloped him in a barrier of light just as the trunk broke and spat out searing hot embers. I waited for the shower of embers to end and then released the barrier and pulled the cop to safety and propped him up against a nearby tree, away from the one that was burning and the church... god we'll have to do something about that too... what if it sets the church on fire as well? God this is such a mess! There's nothing more that can go wrong... right...? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong. Leon had come running back with his katana unsheathed, running toward the two uninjured cops standing just outside of David's reach. He raised one hand, black energy surrounding it, it formed into a sphere and then he threw it at the back of one of the officers, trying to throw him into David's range, with the other cop, he ran right behind him and swung at the back of his head with the blunt side of his katana. He couldn't pass this opportunity up... when do you get to smack around the police?
The electrodes land in each of Bob's balls. "Sucks, doesn't it!?" This is the second time I've fried balls today. Third time this week. HO. LLY. SHIT. It's not every day you see a giant sized blue haired baby dragging around a bus. Well... it's not every day I see a giant sized blue haired baby dragging around a bus. But apparently, today is one of those days. There's a lot of action going on. Bus dragging. Gun pulling. Sword unseathing. Personally, I don't much care for it. Action. I've had enough for a while. I'm going to find a nice quiet place to rest. Eat my tuna. Fix my leg. Have a bath. Watch some telly. And hit bedfordshire. The coppers aren't gonna notice a quiet limper when someone waving a bus around...
Jinx was trying very hard to understand Mikkish, as he was talking in the bedroom, but her eyes kept shutting to her dismay. She just smiled, nodded and remained silent for he most part until he suggested them leaving. She followed along for quite a while, remaining silent, as her feet began to slow and she wandered off into an alley where she slumped into some garbage and fell totally in sleep. It wasn't until loud noises and a hobo try to grope her did she awake. She grabbed the back of the old man's head then slammed his face into the brick wall to her left. When he fell to her left with a broken nose and spewed blood she walked out into the street to find the students surrounded by cops. She shook her head and muttered something in russian before her eyes turned a hazy irridecent white and bodies began to pullthemselves out of the grass of the church screaming and running at the police officers. Jinx clenched her fists, as blood began to run down her nose and legs when the cops began shooting at the undead. When the realization that these beings were not backing down, the cops began to turn fearful and started a full on retreat. Jinx kept mumbling her body arching slightly as she manipulated the corpses to keep running after the cop cars as they dissipated. Finally when they were gone she walked up slowly towards the students with a smile, her russian accent cutting through the brisk night, "What a commotion conrades..Sorry I was late for the party ." Suddenly she stopped and she convulsed, as blood began to drip down her nose and her eyes began to roll up into her skull and her body slumped to the concrete with a soft bang. She used way to much magic and the effects were catching up with her quickly. She lay their quietly the voices of the dead receading into the black.
Martyn looked annoyed and scared as he tried to focus looking at the police quickly worried and thinking worried. "W-what the hell you monsters... you're the villains." he says sad talking about the police and then thought worried and started trying to create barriers for everyone as fast as he could struggling to just in case they were safe a little more.
Theos was still spectating, his attack with his clones didn't follow through, as they stopped like the officers upon seeing David with the massive bus. Theos watched as a few more people made an enterence, more specifically a girl who was now incapacitated. (Jinx) Theos' focus was now on Joe. "HEY HEALER! HELP THIS GIRL OUT!" This was about the time, his clones confused his order from joe with themself. The two clones ran and stood nearby Jinx, protecting her if any cops attempted to take advantage of her being downed. However considering the kid with the bus, Theos highly doubted they would be focused on anything else.
I heard a boy call out healer, that only meant two people, me or Martyn... I think since Martyn was preoccupied creating barriers around people. I ran over to him and saw Jinx being protected by two clones. "God not again..." I muttered, I looked at the boy. "I'm not sure how well I can heal her, but I'll try my best.... god these people are unbelievable, not an ounce of self control or patience... I have some choice words for them... oh right... my name's Joe, I wish we could have met under better circumstances." I said. I knelt down next to Jinx. "Hang in there Jinx, I'll try to help you as best as I can." I said, I held my hands over her, a pink aura began to surround my hands, I shut my eyes and focused, they formed into pink ribbons of energy and began to wrap around her, sinking into her skin and beginning to seal wounds, at best beginning to make them begin to clot and stop bleeding.
Time for murder Such a chaotic development of events, why is that those guys are always into wild mess? “Nature of magic, a praxis that a few selected can do yet born from the pure flow of energies in the stream of nature, one could say that magic is just another force of nature as thus chaotic, unpredictable, entropic. Thus, as usual we humans are trying to force an order in those that doesn’t have one, what’s with that tendency we have to do that? Meeeh, who cares?” The girl walked lazily while speaking loudly yet to no one in particular. Her reddish hair always outstanding and matched by her two different irises. On her right arm she was wearing a particular large brown glove with a mid sized weapon attached to it, it was a mixture between a ballesta and a bow, made to be used with one single arm, the string pulled by her fingers and the strenght given by pure magic. “Aaaah, many are the different schools of magic that humanity had created through time, thaumaturgy, symbology, shamanism, alchemy, etc. etc. etc. Isn’t it funny how all have a bit of true on them?” mumbled while crouching on the ground and placing something on it. “I particulary like symbologyn carved into small pieces of different elements called talisman and also small charms, you never know when you’re gonna need a love charm you know?” After that she stood up and raised her left arm and flows of energy surrounded it, in just an instant a very large structure appeared, something like a giant, massive sword was now on her left arm. “Heeeeeeeey!!!!!” exclaimed to the group. “What the hell are you fighting for? You want to find the murderer? Well here I am, can’t believe how foolish you were to think that idiot there was a killer” said the girl with a smile. “Oh you may don’t believe me, can’t blame you on that so....” She raised her right arm and pulled the string, releasing a miniature arrow that despite it size it flied strongest and faster than a large one, it’s target, the chest of a cop that suddenly find himself on the ground with a crimson rose being born from the wound. “Allright, who’s next?, a murderer has to kill and kill after all, and give fear, destroy their minds with cryptic messages, don’t you find that passionate or romantic?”
The cops plan, by this point, had obviously backfired. Already, there were two men injured. Then yet another student, a girl, an insane girl, had shown up, confessed to some murder, and the next thing anyone knew, an arrow pierced the flesh of a cop. Despite his vest to block bullets, he had no ability to block the sharp crossbow projectile, which had now made its way through his torso. The injury gave a short spray of crimson, and the cop coughed up blood. The cop in charge, who was the only cop with a gun, did not expect the rotting carcasses that Jinx had summoned to run up behind him, jump on his back, and bite into the arm with which he held his gun. He only avoided being eaten alive completely because he knew how to dispell necromancy summons. The zombies fell back to the ground, but when his arm was biten, he had dropped his gun. With both of his arms injured and his wounds gushing blood, he turned to the students, no longer as amused at the thought of beating some college kids, but terrified at what might happen to him now. There was no longer any winning this fight for the cops. He knew that. With two cops out, himself nearly defenceless, and the students who had appeared from all directions, they were surrounded. Meanwhile, the church was quickly becoming a lost cause. The burning tree trunk collapsed outside of the building, but not before the flames that had gotten in managed to set the wall aflame, then the carpet, and soon after the pews. The church was big, but only one story with a basement, and it was all quickly being consumed. The collapsed log outside looked like a bonfire, adding more danger to the scene. Had the cops heard Hikaru's confession only minutes earlier, they would have bragged that they had found the city's friendly neighborhood mage killer, but being that one was bleeding out a ton and the other was looking at a blue haired boy holding a bus over his head, none of them even payed attention when Hikaru spoke. And neither had Mikkish. He was beaten pretty bad, still dizzy, and very pissed off at what that corrupt cop had the nerve to do to him. He stumbled over to Bob, who was still passed out, and snatched his baton. Then, in a blur, and even leaving an imprint of himself in thin air for a moment, he came up right behind the cop who had beat him, the one trying to arrest David, and without holding back, swung the baton at the cops hand which was now holding a tazer, his magic energy giving his strike greater force. So much force, in fact, that when the baton connected, the officer's hand detached completely from his wrist with a loud wet cracking sound. The cop stared at his hand with shock and horror in his eyes, but before he could scream, Mikkish struck him once more in the knee, just as hard as last time, breaking his leg, snapping the baton and causing him to fall on the ground with a painful scream. Mikkish then got on the ground, on top of the cop, and began punching him over and over in the face. He was so caught up in this, he even forgot that his dear old buddy David was standing right in front of him and holding a bus right over his head.
Jinx whimpered after a few moments her body filling with some colour before she sat up quickly and gulped a large handfull of air. She turned to look at Joe and gave a sympathetic smile before speaking to him softly, "Joe...I didnt see you here. You must have helped me again. Sorry for putting you through so much trouble. I don't have the energy to withhold my magic." She gave him a sorry smile and a quick kiss on the cheek to pay him thanks for helping heal him. She then moved her blue eyes over to look up at the two clones of this new dude and gave a soft smile, muttering in soft russian,"Hello..I havent recieved your name but mine's Jinx. I usually am not this weak in combat, but thankyou for protecting me."
“Hey look Mikkish is playing paddy cake with that man’s face.” David said his hands still up high the bus hoisted over his head. "Crush them boy.....both of them!" Junior growled. "Rape, pillage and burn!" David blinked as Junior's words sunk in. "Yeah!" He shouted. "Grapes and burn stuff and stuff." "I said rape and pillage them all bwahhaahah for that is how we will rule the world!" David blinked again. "What do those words mean?" He asked. "Rape sounds like grape to me and I love Grape Ape." He sniffed. "And I ain't never even heard of a pillage." Junior's laughter died and an awkward silence followed for several seconds."When I get out of this sword I'm going to suck the marrow out of your bones." David chuckled. "Silly naive Junior." A smug grin appeared on his face. "You can't suck on my bones their in my body." David face palmed. "So so foolish." "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!' Junior roared the. "JUST THROW THE GOD-DAMN BUS!" David's face went ghost white. "Okay!" The bus flew from the blue haired boy's hands and sailed straight over Mikkish and the officer. The loud crashing sound echoed and debris of wood and metal flew in every direction. The bus hadn't landed on anyone as far as David could tell but it had crashed straight into the church out the front door. Pieces of the church's ceiling also gave way, toppling down from the inside as the bus slid to a halt. "Okay." David said. "I threw it."
General medicine aims for long term. A bone fracture. Bone heals naturally. So to treat it, the simplest way is to give the body a proper chance to heal it. That means immobilizing it. Horses. When a horse breaks a leg, it doesn't stop trying to move. That many times results in improper healing. That might mean severe chronic pain. That's the reason horses are on short list of animals that commit suicide. Combat medicine, other hand, aims to grant the most immediate amount of use to the wounded area. So the medical equivalent of a horse. But, on the other hand, walking with a limp the rest of your life beats the shit out of being dead. Or, I don't know, get arrested for possession and assaulting a law enforcement officer. So get some sticks. Makeshift them into splints. Conjure up some long strips of cloth. And tie everything tightly. And makeshift another stick into a crutch. You're on your way. You may be tempted to do something about the tramp trying to fondle the drunk passed out girl, but turns out she can take care of herself. Apart from being passed out in the middle of the street, I mean.
Before the clones could look back or do anything further, they dispersed. Theos gave a nod to Jinx showing he noticed her thanks. Although his focus was now directly on Hikaru. Who not only downed an officer so swiftly, but effortlessly. To place the icing on the cake, she stated the killer was in fact herself. Theos' expression faded from calm or collected to annoyed. Theos had a massive spike of annoyance when the bus was thrown and caused a hellacious level of noise and destruction to the church. Now his focus was more directed towards the group as a whole, using peripherals to see people of interest. (David and Hikaru) Occasionally his eyes could be spotted darting around, back and forth. Theos did not appear to have a hostile stance, though he was far from off his guard.
"Jeez, I hate to be ignored, anyway I'm still gonna kill you all, I'm a murderer after all" Said Sveta raising her right arm, the arrow tensed, it's aim was the bus driver and Theos as they were close, at the same moment the left arm waved, making the massive sword to tremble yet she didn't attack with it. "C'mon, show some sportmanship!!!" exclaimed while shooting the magically empowered arrows.
"Ok what the hell kind of night is this!?" I couldn't help but exclaim seeing the flying bus that was just thrown by the guy who babbles insanely to himself and then a self proclaimed murderer of whoever downing a cop in just a few seconds. Too much shit was hitting the fan right now. I run over and make sure to stay by Martyn as my hand goes straight to my pocket pulling out my knife. It might not help much but at least I'd feel a little more at ease with it in my hand. "Sorry Martyn, wrong place wrong time I guess you'll have to keep your guard up."
