(One little question before I post. Are both paragraphs from Shadow’s glow? Or is one from a nearby glow? Just wanted to make sure. ^^) (I may end up posting Olile’s response tomorrow. :3)

REEEEEEEEEEE I DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!) Masaki didn't reply to what Boris said but instead kept hammering at the wall with the arrows made out of fire. Masaki then flew towards the wall figuring charging straight forward at this point would be his best chance due to Boris having to keep the wall up or get bombarded with his flames. (REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE It'S fInE) Boris smirked."People never learn."And with that he brought down the wall and shot a blast of freezing wind from his palms and was launched into the air.He then landed behind his adversary."Listen up man,I don't want to have to kill someone when I ain't being paid for it.So either you walk off now or have to chace me down." "Ain't gonna happen and I've already told you the reason why multiple times now" Masaki said as his body burst into flames as a defense in case Boris tried to attack him. He spun around as he went for a kick at Boris' side, propelling his leg forward with his flames to increase his attack speed

LightOk now what genius? Banshee was honestly shocked by the lack of reflex coming from the girl. He would have to keep that in mind. But now he was just falling down with the girl in his arms and he knew he had to think fast. Looking away from the building he let out another screech. And because he was blind as heck he didn't see the side of the building as he smacked into it. Great... LionclBoris simply shrugged,not wanting to try and dissuade him anymore. "Suit yourself then." He replied just before getting kicked. "Honestly," he began,shaking his head to clear it. "if everyone were so stubbornly relentless as you the world wouldn't be near as the same." Just like before he froze himself over to create an armour type coating. He blew a blast of air from his palms again and this time he didn't stop until he was directly over a street of people. He then dropped down to the street to wait for his adversary. "You sure you wanna continue this?"

Ollie stepped away from Shadow's glow, his throat tight with emotion. It was true. She wasn't just Holly. While she had a part of Holly, she was ultimately a different person now. Once again, he looked around. Content that nobody was nearby, he appeared a metre or two in front of Shadow. --- (Trying out more colour coding. XD) (Tell me if it is ever hard to read and I'll gladly change it.)
She was trapped. Stuck again and falling through the air. Rosie felt another charge building, but before it could initiate, the screech sounded again. It was much closer this time, and Rosie let out a cry of pain when they hit the wall. Her glowing gaze flickered. The charge dissipated. They were falling again... She could feel the wind around her like an extension of herself. A breeze picked up and began to swirl around them, moving faster and faster. The wind gently lowered them until they were safely on the ground.

"The heck is wrong with you?" Banshee turned to face her. "You keep this up you're going to hurt more people than you want to if you don't calm down." His hair was starting to fly between random colours,a sign that wasn't good at all.

Shadow felt more tears escape her, and suddenly, someone was there. At first, she raised her arms in a defensive position, standing up completely, fear flashing through her veins, but it wasn’t Orion, and her hands trembled slightly as she turned her head away, ashamed perhaps, of her crying, her position and situation. Of being found once more. Her arms covered her chest, crossed, more secure, and her almost childlike features were dim and dull, much more than they had been before.

(Aw thanks! Many of my characters have different states and such, and I thought it might be somewhat helpful and fun. XD)
Ollie watched as she recovered herself, his eyes soft as he waited. Perhaps he could have caught her unawares. Perhaps he could have taken advantage of her moment of weakness, but Ollie didn't want to work like that. Especially since she had tried to help him before. "I might have a way to help you..." he began quietly. --- (I'm starting to feel like a horrible person, doing this all to Rosie. ;w;)
Rosie's glowing eyes widened for a moment.
"Rosie."
Upon hearing her name, Rosie turned her head. A little ways down the street, her parents stood, smiling and holding hands. The tornado and the surrounding storm's fury ebbed. Her eyes lost their glow. "Mother? Father?" A sob caught in her throat, and she tried to pull away from Banshee.

Hesitant eye’s glanced away. She was tired, knowing she should fight, but feeling like she couldn’t. Though the last of her tears fell, she remained silent, a soft, sweeter sound escaping her, ”Please...” though immediately, it seemed her voice clipped off, returning to a normal growl as she turned away, “You can’t help me.” She sounded very sure, but she kept a hand held out still, she was questioning still, but the little gesture.
She was opening herself up to help, at least.

(Ooh. I see you're doing some colour coding yourself. :3)
Ollie was taken aback by how she seemed to open herself to him. Her soft plead was unlike anything he'd heard from her before. She quickly turned away, bringing Ollie from his initial shock. Yet her hand was extended, as if she was still accepting his help. He began reaching out towards it, but his hand paused. "I don't know exactly what it will do... Are you sure you want to do this?" Evanesce's words still echoed ominously in his mind.

No response came, only a glare. “Well, whatcha waitin’ for?” She snapped, “An invitation? Whatcha plannin’ on anyways, killin’ me?” She was rushing her words, backing up suddenly. If he wanted to act, he would have to do it soon.

Ollie winced. "Shadow, wait-" Panic fluttered in his chest. He was going to lose her! In an instinct reaction, he reached forwards and took hold of her hand before she could back up any farther. The blue crystal glowed beneath his patched cloak. Softly glowing blue patterns travelled across his skin, down his arms towards Shadow's hand. His hazel iris's turned a glowing blue and they silently begged understanding from Shadow's gaze.
(Holds breath)

Shadow seemed aggressive for a moment, ready to fight, but once the crystal caught her eyes, she stopped, her death held as she looked forwards her eyes widening with understanding before she closed them, her hands raising up to her head, cradling it as the energy reached out towards her, though she reached forwards regardless of the pain, her hand making contact with his outstretched one and the blue light continued through, up her hands, leaving traces of color and then her eyes opened, a bright, pretty lilac blue color. She immediately backed up, eyes wide as she stared at her still pale skin, her features were very different than Holly’s. Her hair was long, more flared out, and she was shorter. Not hidden in Orion’s mask, she looked happier, but broken hearted all the same. Her eyes raised from her hands to Ollie, before she stepped back, tears budding in her eyes before she hit a wall behind her, “Ollie?” She questioned, her voice too sounded different, similar to Holly’s, but more curious, intelligent, younger. She wasn’t the same, her accent was different, but she shared many striking qualities. “But...but you died, how are you alive?” She questioned, trembling, before glancing around horrified, “Wait, Orion...he...he got to the temple, he got Cas...he...he got...me?”

(Ah, I love colours. They seem to have a type of reading all on their own.)
A sense of peace wrapped around Ollie's heart when he saw the flash of understanding in Shadow's eyes. His eyes widened at the transformation. Colour returned, the girl was backing away from him. When their hands pulled apart, his eyes flickered back to hazel and the patterns on his skin faded. It left him somewhat tired, but it was worth it. It had worked! At that, he felt great joy. He hoped this would free her from Orion's control. She said his name, and he smiled and nodded. He realized with a small pang of sadness, that her voice too, was unlike Holly's. He supposed this meant she was truly gone... Maybe in some way, helping this girl would somehow help Holly, wherever she was. A final repayment for all that she had done for him. The girl continued to speak, seeming troubled, saying she'd thought he died. That made him pause. When she continued further in trembling tones, his gaze softened. "You were under Orion's control," he told her softly. "How much do you remember?" He reached forwards lightly with his mind. She had mentioned Cas. That was the one Evanesce wanted him to save. There was so much to find out, but such little time. They mustn't linger long.

Banshee let Rosie go,knowing very well what it felt like to be held from your parents when they were directly in front of you. I can deal with Alpha's complaints later,right now I need to keep from getting my neck snapped. He watched as she made her way to her parents. Take this up with me,Alpha,not her.
(The colour coding might be useful for Jerome and Steve's different dialogue lol

Shadow shook her head, wiping her tears aware. She was remembering Orion, everything now. Parts of it, at least. Though she put up some kind of mental block, it seemed. Her eyes skittered to the side, ”If you did this just to get your friend back. Then I’m sorry, she’s gone”. With that, she turned her head away, though she made a shield, lilac-blue magic igniting in a messy way as someone jumped from a nearby building.
A girl, with eyes of silvery-hue walked closer. This was Umbra, with her grey hair with lighter strands. She smiled softly, welcoming, “You rescued her, I see.”
”Cas?”

(Hehe. Yup. ^^ We'd be the most colourful roleplay on the block. XD) (Aw. :3 Banshee seems to be an alright sort of guy. Unlike the others.)
"Thanks for holding her off for me Banshee, but I'll take things from here," Ringo's voice came from somewhere behind Banshee. "It's time for you to come down and join us." An image of him flickered into view behind the guy.
(Is this red too hard to read?)
Rosie was stumbling forwards. It was clear in how she moved that she was exhausted. A couple metres away from her parents, she tripped and fell on the pavement. Her knees stung, but she barely felt it. "I thought you had died! I knew Jerome wouldn't have done such a thing!" She lifted her head and saw them walking away. Her heart clenched. "W-wait!" Blinking away tears, she struggled to get up. "Don't go!"
(;w;) --- Ollie pulled his gentle mental probe back. He didn't press the boundary she had put up. Her words proved his latest assumption. He couldn't help but lower his gaze when she said Holly was gone. He opened his mouth to reply, but quickly closed it when he felt another presence nearby. He turned nearly in sync with Shadow. His eyes were narrowed, and his arms ready for action. He glanced between the newly arrived shade and Shadow. His gaze widened slightly. So this was her. The one Evanesce wanted him to save. "I can help you, too," he offered, extending a hand. It wasn't just for Evanesce now. Some of these shades had good in them, and now that he knew how to free them from Orion's control, he wanted to help all that he could. Not only would it throw a wrench in Orion's plans, but in this way, maybe some semblance of peace could be restored from all the horrible wrongs that had been done to other worlds. His eyes watched Umbra's, as if they could tell him what lie within.

(The red's fine. Banshee is just kinda there because of old habits,he'd never be there if he hadn't started when he was young but now he's stuck there to keep his family out of it :3)
"And just where the heck have you been?" Banshee asked as he looked at Ringo's form,his voice slightly louder than a whisper. "I've had enough of dealing with your problems. Either get useful quick or you're gonna know what it feels like to hear a grenade go off directly beside your ear."

(Aw. :3 Now he's one of my favourite characters.)
Ringo chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. "Yeah, yeah. You don't have to worry about me. Everything is under control." He glanced in the direction of Rosie and the parents with a smirk, and his voice lowered for the next part. "But if I were you I'd be getting down to the room pretty quickly. You wouldn't want to get caught in the storm, now would you?" He moved close to Banshee's shoulder, a smug look on his face.
Tears were coming down Rosie's face. She clumsily stood and and tottered after her parents. "Wait-" she choked through her tears. "Don't leave me." The rain outside the eye increased. The lightened rain once more grew heavy with fat raindrops and a sharp cold breeze. Her parents turned a corner and Rosie stumbled to follow. The tornado had seemed like it was going to dissipate a while ago, but it kept going. Not only that, but it was following Rosie, keeping her at the centre of the eye.

"You know,I was this close to caring but then I realized that the only ones that're actually useful on the team are Alpha and Whisper. So no,I think I'm going to stay up here with you." Banshee replied to Ringo.

”You can’t help me, Ollie.” Umbra commented, smiling as she shook her head. “You can’t help her.” She commented, looking at Shadow with a small, sad, frown. “Eventually Orion will come back, gaining control once more.” She warned. “You’ll need something for when they happens. But Orion has it.”
Her eyes set forward, “You both need to leave soon, Orion will be here.”
”You want me to just leave you?” Shadow frowned, hugging Cas, who hugged her back. Cas was years older, but sister-like, it seemed. “I don’t want to leave you.”

(Ahh. Not enough time to do tones of words. XD Next time.)
"Says the guy who flew into a building!" Ringo growled, starting to get annoyed. ~ Whisper looked down at Ringo's meditative form. "He's angry," she mused, looking at his face. "Probably arguing with Banshee again."
Alpha frowned. "Ringo." There was only silence. He looked at Whisper and nodded towards Ringo.
Whisper nodded in understanding and knelt beside Ringo. She silently whispered into his mind.
Ringo snapped back to reality. At the same time, the illusion of himself and Rosie's parents disappeared. "What now?" he snapped. "You know I don't like being interrupted when I-"
"Banshee wants to stay, am I correct?"
Ringo paused, glancing at Alpha, who's face was edging on impatience. He quickly regained his cool. "Yes."
"He can stay."
"What? Wh-?"
"If he stays in the eye, he'll be fine. We've underestimated the girl and her friends before. It will be a good idea to have an extra man on the field." Alpha explained, staring Ringo in the eye. "Don't you agree?"
Ringo lowered his gaze, in spite of his set jaw. "Your wish is my command," he replied with forced smoothness. Again, he closed his eyes. ~ Ringo reappeared behind Banshee. "Fine then. You can stay," he muttered, crossing his arms and looking away from Banshee. "That means once the girl is spent, you bring her back to the base, got it?" ~ Rosie made it to the corner, but her parents had disappeared. "Mom...? Dad?" A figure stepped out of the darkness and into the light. It looked like Jerome, but the face was all wrong. It was the same look he had when he killed her mother. It was and it wasn't Jerome, all at once. Nothing made sense. She might as well be going insane! She took a step back, her hands lifted to her head, making sounds somewhere between a groan and a whine. Her breath became panicked.
(;w;) ---
What did she mean? Did it not free her from Orion's control? Or did she mean that Orion could turn her back into a shade? "What is it I need, that Orion has?" Ollie murmured, but his words may have been lost behind Umbra's next suggestion. He watched the two hug, and something within him settled into place. He upturned a hand. "I know a place you can stay. I'm fairly certain Orion hasn't found it yet." His gaze lifted to Umbra's. "Perhaps we can arrange to meet again?"

Umbra hummed, oooking at Shadow for a moment, “Orion can’t really control me, not in the way that he wants, but you can’t free me until you have the object.” She commented, sighing. “Your world has crystals, mine has stones.” She added with a tiny laugh, hollow. Though she winced at us suggestion, “No, Shadow cannot be left alone, she has-“
”I do not!” Shadow interrupted before Umbra could even finish. “Though, what’s the point in helping me?” She suddenly questions, somethingthat Umbra sighed at.
”You will see me again soon, Ollie, for now, just be careful.” Umbra commented, before turning to walk away.

"She won't be alone," Ollie assured Umbra, his gaze calm, almost warm. Be careful... "I will. You too." He watched her walk away for a couple moments. Then he turned to Shadow. "What's the point in not helping you?" He took in a breath and held out his hand. "Do you trust me?"

Shadow looked away, frowning deeply. “I know you didn’t bring me back because it was the right thing to do, everyone has a motive.” She commented, bluntly. It seemed she was much more blunt than Holly was, yet another different, though she grinned then, that was similar, “So...got any ladies? Oh! Is that why your a hero? Wanna impress the ladies?” She snorted then, crossing her arms, “I doubt it, the Ollie I knew was really nice, the girl he liked died though. Then again, so did he.”

Banshee snorted. "Yeah well,when I do that I don't want to be greeted by a welcoming party." He turned to watch what was going down. If he was going to keep an eye on her,he was really going to keep an eye on her.

Post by Light on Nov 25, 2019 21:21:46 GMT -5
Ollie lowered his arm, his expression hardening slightly. "Fine. You want a motive, huh? How's stopping our world from annihilation? How's keeping Orion from destroying everything that I hold close?! Many memories have already been lost because of him and I can feel their pain," his voice gained an edge to it's tone. "If you don't trust me, fine! But we have a common goal, do we not? Orion is our enemy. The least I can do for now is take you to a place he can't find us. At least until we formulate a new plan." He partially turned away, just enough that his face was out of view. "And like I said before... I don't deserve the title of hero." Much quieter, he nearly breathed the words, "I should've been the one to die..."
---
Ringo scoffed. "Just don't get in the way." Then he vanished.
Rosie was backing up, when she tripped over something. As soon as she saw what it was, she screamed. Lightning flashed, enveloping her with a blinding light. Once the light faded, she was standing once again, eyes glowing. The image of Jerome flickered back into place before her.
"There we go. We're back in business," Ringo's illusion said contentedly, reappearing behind Banshee and dusting his hands.

"Aw, you're a poor sport." Ringo replied with a chuckle. "As long as I get my dues, I'm fine messing around with the kid for a while."
Rosie lifted a hand, then paused.
"What're you waiting for, kid," Ringo muttered. Looks like she needed a little more prodding. He frowned and disappeared once more. Gradually, the area of the eye began to change. The walls of the tornado were no longer visible and any destruction that might have been caused seemed to disappear.
The image of Jerome stepped forwards. Rosie didn't move. The image of Jerome turned and began walking away. "Why?" Rosie's voice sounded strange, almost as if it was part of the atmosphere. The image of Jerome didn't stop. "Why!?" Lighting flashed down in front of the image, and the entire illusion flickered, if even for a moment. The image of Jerome stopped.
Ringo had to pause. What could he do to rile the kid up more..?
(Ahhh. I dunno if I want to go for anything worse. WHY RINGO. WHY.)
