Commander Tangent

Icarus was taken by surprise when Tyra shouted. "The face of a warrior" she had called it. If only she had known were these wounds had come from. " Yes, I can help you both with your wounds. They seem like magic burns, similar to a chemical burn. They are an easy fix with the right care" He said, looking at the two of them, " Please, Tyra, join us in the tent and I will begin treatment right away." Usually other ponies were scared when they saw the many traces of wounds on his body. But luckily these ponies thought nothing much of them, and seemingly one admired them. It was fine by him, as long as he could keep them all healthy he would be content.

"Ah yes. What can I help you with ?" Icarus said, looking Radiant over. He seemed to have several burns over his body. They all seemed to be bad, but not lethal. though that did not mean they could not get infected. "Your burns..... Yes..... please, take a seat and let me take a look" Icarus said, standing on his hooves and looking at the burn wounds more closely. They would require a good healing spell and some disinfecting.

Icarus sighed and entered a vacant tent. He sat down and decided now was a better time than ever to rest. Unsealing his mask, he gently put it aside, closing his grey eyes and and letting his scarred tan face feel fresh air for the first time in awhile. Similarly, he removed his cloak, and laid down to relax. He had many scars and patches of missing fur all over his body, but he had gotten used to them. He stared at the ceiling of the tent, and drifted in his own thoughts.

Icarus watched as the pony melted to shadow and disappeared. he walked past the other two ponies and went towards the outpost. It seemed like it could house the group for a few days, given provision and heat were not in short supply. For a bit he only stood and thought untill he heard a comment from Tyra. "If no pony else will, I can attempt to repair it. I know some spells meant for repairing clothes, but I am not well skilled with them, so I would not be able to promise anything" Icarus said to the tribal pony.

@@Chip Circuit, I know To speed things up a bit (( Since I wont be on much today)) I just went with he found the note left and went to were it said. And caught up.

"There are many strange creatures in equestria, I am afraid that is not the most unusual. But we all seem to have come out of this with minimal injuries, though Caliber will need some medical attention when he arrives." Icarus said to Tyra. She was right, the city would be destroyed without all of them there to defend it. But luckily it had only been magically enhanced diamond dogs. Had they been true hellhounds as he feared at first, he was unsure how this battle would have gone. But none the less, he watched as everyone gathered.

Icarus would soon arrive back to were the group had gathered. Underneath his mask, a wide smile had formed. Though he had been grossly outmatched, outgunned, and outnumbered, he had managed to delay and help destroy the enemy force with a simple yet cunning strategy. His traps had been a success, even if the did rob him of all his leftover smoke potions. "I see we have been victorious" Icarus said, " Even at such a large cost of life"

Icarus watched as enemies poured into the streets of the city. It was now time. On the several streets he had set up on, snow poured from the roofs onto the invaders, stunning them or snuffing their flames. In some streets, his smoke potions were activated by the heat of the enemy, popping the containers and releasing the the smoke, witch also acted as a flame retardant. The enemies of his sector, at this time, were confused and disorganized. And that is when, a hail of arrows fell upon the confused dogs. Icarus' gambit seemed to have payed off. It was a counter attack of some kind !

@, You are in the middle of a battle, Icarus cant just stroll up there and heal you XD

@, "Caliber, fall back ! " Icarus said. the enemy would follow him into the traps, if he would only lead them too the ambush zone. Caliber was fighting hard, and was refusing to back down. He hoped he would trust Icarus. If he didnt, then it was possible Caliber could be outmatched without the support from Icarus's plan.

Icarus watched as the part was pushed back slowly. they were fighting with al their might, but it was not enough. This was a battle of attrition ! And we were losing. So it was time to mix things up a bit. Once everyone had safely fallen back, Icarus would release his many traps, now set up around the interior of the town he inhabited. Galloping to Caliber, he watched and prepared himself to face the incoming waves of enemies.

I am just hoping the enemy gets to meet my snow and smoke traps :3

Icarus being his clever self :3 Hopefully his idea comes in handy if they have to fall back, since he cant fight them directly.

Icarus saw the army coming. It reminded him of the many sieges he had seen in the history books, and that took place around stilliongrad from raiders. He kept his breathing normal, and let his mind run wild, sorting through the best things to do in this invasion. these were basically Hell hounds, but with diamond dog exteriors. From what he saw, fire was one of their main ways of attacking. Allowing caliber to do his job, Icarus hatched a plan B, in case enemies broke the first line. These being relied on fire, and in some cases were made of fire. Fire needed oxygen to survive. Snuff out the oxygen, no fire ! And what better place to do that than a town filled with snow covered roofs and alleyways. It also meant his smoke potions would be useful too, as the gasses in them would temporarily displace oxygen. He went to work, using his magic to set traps as the army approached. If caliber could hold them off long enough, he could make this battle a lot easier for them if they were pushed back.

@, " I will be fine my friend, I have seen worse days. I will set up behind all the fighting, and be ready to treat any wounded soldiers that may arrive. I you need, I can attempt to provie ranged support with a crossbow" Icarus said to Caliber. He sat aback and looked around, scanning the surrounding area. He should have been warm inside his cloak and mask, but he still found himself chilled to the bone. This would be a tough situation if Caliber could not hold the line...

I have 100 % All Metal Gear Solid games and every Halo (( Except for Reach)) :3 Oh, and I have a large collection of warhammer 40K miniatures XD

Icarus watched as the group was given information. Icarus watched with intrigue and listened to every word given. Looking over at the others, they all seemed to be preparing themselves for a upcoming fight. He had been given a choice. His medical skills would be needed anywhere in the city, and Some areas looked like they had access to different sectors. "I will accompany Caliber, if anyone needs medical help, I will be on call there" Icarus announced to the group.

Icarus saw the others and decided to join them. Walking over to them, he took a seat next to caliber. HE remained silent, listening to their small talk. They seemed to be relaxing and getting ready for whatever tybalt needed them for. Another good thing was that Radiant seemed to be doing well, at least, for just having surgery done on him.

Icarus walked into the tavern after cleaning and disinfecting his equipment. He would finally get a chance to eat and drink, after the long journey to this forsaken town. He walked up to the bartender and got himself a glass of water. Raising his mask slightly, he began drink the water, savoring the cold liquid as it traveled down his throat. For a moment, his scarred face was revealed to any whom wished to look. After drinking, he lowered his mask and adjusted it so the seal would become useful again. Looking over to Raidant, Icarus couldn't help but feel accomplished. He had fixed another pony, and had another patient that would make a great recovery. It had been a good day so far for him, against his expectations.

@@Chip Circuit, "My my....what a patchwork job we have here. But it seems to have worked" Icarus said, looking over the makeshift dressings covering the wound. He slowly and carefully removed them, attempting to not cause discomfort in the region of the body. This wound seemed similar, but not as deep or large. Following the same procedure, Icarus addressed the wound quickly and efficiently. In a day, the wounds should be gone, replaced by scar tissue. Fur would take awhile to grow back, but that was the least of his worries at the moment. "There we go, you are looking good. I've seen people with worse fight a hydra, so I am willing to bet you can still help us with refugees. Just take things slowly and you should be fine" Icarus said, scanning Radiant over from behind his mask.

@@Chip Circuit, I know, he has to do one wound at a time. He has to check that you can still feel your right leg in case of deeper damage Also thanks, I was about to go to bed, but I cant back out for tonight now X3 I must fix Radiant :3

@@Chip Circuit, Icarus was shocked to see the state that the group had come back in, but shoved his thoughts aside as he galloped over to Radiant. He began to mumble to his self as he pulled out his bag. "Deep laceration, tissue damage, bleeding, possible foreign bodies... yes, YES, I know this !" He said as he went to work. He first applied a styptic to the wound to slow bleeding, and poured disinfectant into the wound. He knew it would burn greatly for radiant, but by this point he had probably passed out. As soon as things had calmed down, he placed a healing spell on the wound, increasing Radiants natural healing abilities, and speeding the recovery process. The wound, if properly treated, should be healed within a day. He began to sew the wound up and pulled a bandage out with his magic to apply once he was finished. "How are things feeling radiant ? Can you feel your right leg ? " Icarus asked, seemingly in a trance.
