Radiant remained in his spot unmoving, just keeping his eyes peeled on the bandit city. The buildings that scaled along the large plateau that was in the center. He took a long deep breath and almost felt a stale feeling in the air that was different from before. "What is that? I feel like something is on it's way... That doesn't make sense though, I've never really had such a feeling so maybe it's just me getting bored." He assured himself setting his head down on his hoof with a long exhale.

Strider

 

@,

 

"I believe you, Tyra, and Ironeye were going to stay here." Strider said to Caliber, relieved that the pony was looking forward to the fight rather than back to the argument. "The rest of us were going to wait on the sidelines. We should all get into position. Hopefully, they will sense Ironeye and head in her direction. I just hope they won't head towards Radiant." He mused on this, and again turned to Lunar.

 

@@Commander Tangent,

 

"Lunar, I hate to ask this of you again," Strider said, "but can you fly up and see where the centaurs are headed?"

 

Centaurs

 

Commanding Chief Centaur Cassio smelled the air, with the aura of an expert at his job that wasn't actually all that sure about what he was doing at the moment. He held up one huge arm, in a wordless signal to stop the charge, and the eight centaurs following him did so. After a long moment, he said in a huge rumbling voice, "I sense two sources of magic. One is the Sungazer. Another is a strange source I have never sensed before. You two!" he barked abruptly, pointing. "Go to the southwest. Use your own sensing abilities to find the strange magic source. Keep it alive and bring it back to me. The rest of us," he grimaced, "will head after the Sungazer mare." He barked in a strange, rough language, and the centaurs began their charge again, two separating from the group and heading in the direction of Radiant.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

As Radiant remained in the bush he had been using for cover, he could feel the ground beneath him beginning to quiver and if something large was heading his way. He remained still not wanting to expose himself if he didn't need to.

 

Soon two figures appeared from over a hill, two centaurs heading straight in his direction. "This can't be good," Radiant mumbled to himself keeping an eye on the centaurs. "Hopefully they will merely pass by, I can't afford to be distracted if Amore needs me."

Tyra perked up from her drawing at the rumbling sound, ear twitching as she deciphered it. Only one conclusion came to her mind.

 

"They are here," she murmured.

 

She hopped onto her hooves and trotted toward Caliber and Ironeye.

"The enemy is upon us!" She declared, drawing her axe and gripping it tight in her jaw, "Let's take them!"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

*Arena*

 

Rift and Amore stood within the mist with their blades locked staring at each other for a second. Amore looked to her sword and back up to Rift, "I will accept your offer Rift and I will help you and your brother." She said loosening the grip on her sword. "His name is Caliber, he is a wandering swords pony."

 

Rift smiled at the thought of a tough battle laid before him as long as he provided information on the leaders. "I look forward to this opponent, no need to worry I will vouch for you while you're in the medical bay." He said with his dangerous grin returning.

 

Amore raised an eyebrow at the stallion unsure of what he was insinuating. "But I thought..." She was then interrupted by Rift shoving back on her sword followed by him preforming a quick spin with his sword held out to the side with it coming straight at amore.

 

Out of reflex Amore attempted to lift her sword to block the Stallion's swing but he had far too much momentum for her to hold up against him. His large sword pushed hers aside followed by the flat of his sword impacting her across the head throwing he out of the mist only to be seen unconscious on the arena floor. Rift walked out of the mist that was quickly fading and stood over the mare, he set his hoof against her chest and kicked her across the ground to the doorway she entered through. Once he followed after the unconscious mare He found Izumo there looking horrified at the unconscious mare. "Bring her to the infirmary." Rift growled at Izumo ready to follow after them.

 

*kakashi* 

 

The masked Pegasus saw as the mare slid out of the mist unconscious leaving a trail of dust behind her, he looked from his book for a second. "Hm... can't say I'm surprised... I am surprised she is still in one piece that's not like Rift." He said starting to walk back through the bleachers once again walking over the seats. 

 

"Hmm... there was that moment he spoke to his brother and his attitude seemed to change. Rift tends to leave no survivors, so what's the deal with that mare? A lover perhaps? no... I'll have to look into this some more." Kakashi pondered to himself.

Centaurs

 

@@Chip Circuit,

 

The centaurs did not heed Radiant's wishes. Sensing him--or, rather, the Element--the two beasts turned, as once, charging straight at Radiant.

 

@Rest of group: Alex, Caliber, Red, Strider, Tyra, Lunar:

 

As the group got into positions--Tyra, Caliber, and Ironeye baiting at the front, the rest hiding on the sidelines--the group could see a similar charge from the centaurs. Each was monstrous, standing at least three or four times the height of the pony, each twice as bulky as a minotaur. Behind the group of seven charged one centaur, larger than the rest, almost a fourth the size of Tirek himself, if Strider could guess correctly.

 

The centaurs stopped in surprise upon seeing the three ponies waiting for them innocently. The Chief among them spoke in a rough tone to his troops, and proceeded forward cautiously, looking only at Ironeye, not sparing Caliber or Tyra a glance.

 

"Sungazer," he growled. "How long we have been searching for you. But now, is your end! Do not struggle, and I won't hurt your little pony friends."

 

Ironeye Sungazer: As I feel uncomfortable attempting to match the caliber of HigurSan's posts, I will keep her reply short.

 

Ironeye considered briefly. It was very brief, to give the centaurs the appearance of not disdaining them quite as much as she actually did. It was also to give her companions--"friends", as the centaur had called them, though really, Radiant was the only one remotely close to achieving that title--time to prepare. "No." She said shortly.

 

(Alright, note to everyone: as much as I hate to say it, considering how much we've postponed, we have to start combat tomorrow. I'm too tired over here, and I'm keeping my family up with the comp. Finishing up a couple quick posts, then bed. I will likely be gone for up to 12 hours, perhaps even more depending on the plan which changes really quickly, so if anyone feels like discussing a way with Chip to begin fighting, feel free. Chip, you can RP the centaurs. All of them, if it doesn't overwhelm you.)

 

@@Chip Circuit

 

Izumo

 

"Right!" Izumo said in two octaves higher his normal tone. He coughed loudly. "Right." he said, in an octave lower than necessary. He sighed, picking up Amore, and dragging her away. No rolling beds for the loser. Being alive, after all, was considered a mercy.

 

What a disappointment. He sighed to himself. He took her to the clinic, and handed her off to some nurses.

 

Nurses took Amore into a hospital room. They began treating her immediately. The wound Rift had placed on her was severe, if not fatal or crippling, and the rare and renowned Doctor himself came in to look her over. He checked her over--her blood pressure, heart rate, and frowned as he watched her, taking several other tests as the nurses finished cleaning the wounds and left. Clearly, not a normal pony. Maybe even something beyond the rare vampony, which he'd heard one of the nurses mention. Perhaps, even, perhaps... a Changeling?

 

He considered this. No, that was wild. And a Changeling's illusion would have ended. Clearly not. Anyway, Monsieur Malum Fuhror would have already gotten to her if she was.

 

She was fine for now. Shrugging, he turned off the lights, and left Amore in the bed, shutting the door behind him.

Tyra, axe held in her jaw, stood with Ironeye and Caliber as the centaurs approached. She dragged her hoof along the dirt, like a bull preparing to tackle, as she glared down her opponents.

 

They were certainly large, about five or six times her size she assumed, but she wasn't fazed at all; she knew she could stand up to some centaurs.

She had her ancestors behind her.

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber looked at all the centaurs, and he hated to say it, but...there were indeed a lot.

 

but thats no matter. they're still no match for his swordplay. he had skill that most could only dream of getting. and there were seldom few that could match him. like tyra, here, who's fighting with him. the two could more then likely take them on, and even then, they were going to get backup.

 

victory was certain.

 

he raised his sword, already planning the best way to take there things down, and smirked up at them.

 

"...is this it? i thought they'd be taller."

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

*Rift* 

 

As Izumo spoke in a higher tone and then soon changed the pitch of his tone, Rift rolled his eyes at him finding his insecurity pathetic. "Just get her there you idiot..." He growled as he then reached to his shoulder pulling the sword from him that was still embedded into his shoulder.

 

The sword fell the ground with blood dripping from its tip. With a single grunt Rift looked to amore who was now on Izumo's back, he then turned his gaze forward again leaving the arena. 

 

*Radiant* (run by myself since I know the roll system)

 

Radiant watched patiently when their heads suddenly turned directly at him and they begun charging in his direction. "Damn, I'll be revealed to the guards of the city on the wall..." He thought to himself looking around the area as his thoughts became a soft mutter to himself. "I will have to use magic there is no way around it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle these two alone." 

 

Radiant stood from the bushes and walked out onto the road, unfortunately there was no large rocks for him to get the high ground on the centaurs so he'd have to fight these towering behemoths from the ground. He examined the two centaurs closely, both wielding tower shields nearly as tall as them while one help a spear and the other a large sword that seemed to have a ragged blade from hard impacts. Radiant inhaled deeply as he drew one sword from his side with his mouth and once the centaurs were close he threw his sword at the centaur wielding the spear. He easily bounced the sword off his shield knocking it to the ground off to his side. Radiant then had his last sword clenched in his jaw as the centaurs approached closer to him. "Alright they already taken the bait, just time it right as I use my armor." Radiant thought to himself.

 

As the spear was within ten feet of him Radiant cast his armor and took the sword behind the centaur in his magic bringing it back blade first at the spear centaur. The sword made two clean cuts at the centaur's rear leg. Due to the damage the centaur fell forward hitting Radiant's armor with his spear and with all the weight behind it caused the spear to snap in two. The impact took a toll on Radiant's magic energy. "Damn they hit too hard for me to take too many hits like that." Radiant thought to himself as he turned his attention to the sword centaur taking both swords on his in his magic.

 

The sword centaur charged Radiant holding his blade over his head bringing it down toward the stallion. Radiant held up his swords in attempt to block the incoming sword only for the sword to push through his defense and impact his armor. The sword stopped dead on his armor almost causing him to collapse from the force brought down on him. Radiant stayed standing stepping back feeling his magical energy already lowered from the hits he sustained. 

 

He levitated his blades around the centaur's shield making an attempt at each one of his sides. Aware of the stallion's magical abilities the centaur turned to block one of the swords but was unable to block the other and sustained some damage to his side.

 

 

*group* (6 centaurs: [tower shields] 1 spear, 1 sword, 2 flails, [no sheilds] 1 archer [captain, no shield] Greatsword)

 

Along with the archer the captain stayed back as his unit charged in toward the three ponies. "Aim for that bitch Sungazer, let's try to make sure she is taken off our board for good." The captain snarled to the archer wanting to end the hunt for a single pony.

 

Ironeye backed up trying to stay away from close range combat as the two centaurs wielding flails were the first to reach Caliber and Tyra. each chose a target and took position in front of them raising their weapons to them. The flails came down toward the two nearly at the same time. The centaur fighting caliber made contact with the stallion on the shoulder tossing him several feet to the side. Mean while the centaur before Tyra missed his swing (Counter how you want leave attacks open.)

*Rift* 

 

As Izumo spoke in a higher tone and then soon changed the pitch of his tone, Rift rolled his eyes at him finding his insecurity pathetic. "Just get her there you idiot..." He growled as he then reached to his shoulder pulling the sword from him that was still embedded into his shoulder.

Monsieur Malum Fuhror

 

"Ah, Rift," The stallion called out upon catching him leaving the arena, and trotted up to him, "Not a bad fight, that mare certainly proved a challenge. Could have come out a bit more exciting though, non?"

Tyra Shatterhoof

 

Tyra stood to attention as the centaur swung his flail at her. She rolled over to dodge the swing, and used her momentum to leap up at the soldier. She swung her axe blade at him, attempting a slash.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

*rift*

 

Rift looked to Malum Fuhror who approached him, commenting on the fight. Rift growled at his comment "you don't know what the fuck you're talking about Mal, I went easy on that bitch because she seems she could be of use to one of you faction leaders." He stated turning away from him and began walking again. "Just because I don't follow any of you doesn't mean I Ignore the fact when a pony is useful.

 

Rift continued walking through the city making his way toward the plateau to talk to Tsunami since he knew Izumo was her subordinate and he seemed to be overlooking that mare.

[P-Jay 1,987]

The flails came down toward the two nearly at the same time. The centaur fighting caliber made contact with the stallion on the shoulder tossing him several feet to the side.

caliber sailed through the air. these centaurs were certainly strong, he'll give them that much. maybe he underestimated them, after all...

 

he landed on the ground, and started sprinting at the centaur that hit him, trying to ignore the pain in his shoulder. "you little--"

 

he jumped surprisingly high into the air, and spun downwards, his sword slashing vertically.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

As Tyra swung for the centaur in front of her she manage to get passed under his massive tower shield and slashed the towering centaur along the ankle deeply. The centaur slumped forward from the injury slowing him down. While Caliber jumped at the centaur who injured him, only serving to cause the centaur to raise his shield up. The stallion's blade hit the shield only to bounce off.

 

 

Ironeye focused her magic at the centaur that deflected caliber and attempted to hit with a spell before his shield fell again. Her horn begun sparking with orange sparks until it seemed to catch fire when suddenly a fireball launched from her. The fireball was caught by the falling shield leaving the centaur uninjured. Meanwhile the archer in the distance finally loosed an arrow at the mare attempting to bring the mare down. The arrow rang out from the bow sailing through the air with precision gliding between the fighters and finding its target embedding itself in her chest right next to her right shoulder. She dropped to her knees with a grunt of pain and managed to stand up again.

 

The other two centaurs were nearing the ponies not yet in range to attack. (i'd suggest wait for your ambush unit before initiating more attacks)

[Unicorncob 5,679]

Rift looked to Malum Fuhror who approached him, commenting on the fight. Rift growled at his comment "you don't know what the fuck you're talking about Mal, I went easy on that bitch because she seems she could be of use to one of you faction leaders." He stated turning away from him and began walking again. "Just because I don't follow any of you doesn't mean I Ignore the fact when a pony is useful.

Monsieur Malum Fuhror

 

The stallion, Malum, let out an amused snort at Rift's outburst, and followed after him.

"It is just not like you to go so easy on somepony," he said, smirking, "do you have any idea why a normal mare would be so useful to any of us? I'm particularly curious."

 

 

As Tyra swung for the centaur in front of her she manage to get passed under his massive tower shield and slashed the towering centaur along the ankle deeply. The centaur slumped forward from the injury slowing him down. While Caliber jumped at the centaur who injured him, only serving to cause the centaur to raise his shield up. The stallion's blade hit the shield only to bounce off.

 

The other two centaurs were nearing the ponies not yet in range to attack. (i'd suggest wait for your ambush unit before initiating more attacks)

Tyra Shatterhoof

 

Tyra let out a cackle as her attack struck the centaur's ankle. She would have no trouble from him for now.

She went in for another attack, then spotted as two more centaurs approached. She decided to wait, realising the group had an ambush party lying in wait...

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber immediately shot out a hoof, catching himself on it. with his other hoof, he swung his sword in a low arc, aiming for the exposed feet. he knew what would happen if he tried an overhead strike, and that was to simply create an opening down low.

 

he hoped he could swing it fast enough. after all, it wouldn't take that much time to guard the feet, even after guarding a high attack. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

As Ironeye's fireball made contact on the shield of Caliber's opponent his shield was pushed up for a split second and the managed to get an attack in before the shield hit the ground on the centaur's shin. As soon as Caliber was out from under the shield, the shield fell to the ground causing an eruption of dust and a slight shake of the ground. 

 

(Okay bait[tyra and caliber] wait for ambush team. If you keep progressing the game clock I will bring in the sword centaurs and you two will having flanked disadvantage)

[Reaver 350]

Tsunami

 

Tsunami, who had been furiously watching the fight, caught up to Malum--or, more correctly, Rift. "Rift," she growled, her tail lashing out and hitting Malum in the process, "How dare you allow Love to order you to attack a pony that was under my guard's protection." She glowered behind her, in the direction that she had left Love behind in. She was clearly furious with Love, not Rift, and was simply venting her anger. She rounded on Malum. "What are you doing, you bearded fool?" she snapped, rather viciously unlike her usual casual self with Malum.

 

Strider/Centaurs

 

The centaurs with the sword and spear were almost upon the group. Strider beckoned to Red, beside him, and leapt out, drawing his sword in his mouth. He suddenly seemed much younger than his true age as he slashed out at the centaur with the sword in an overhead strike, which did nothing but annoy the centaur, and, undeterred, slashed again at it's side, causing a small gash to appear where the sword struck. Strider landed heavily, but with grace, as the sword centaur stepped back, uncertain at the sudden ambush of another pony. The other centaurs, too, seemed taken aback, and didn't move, giving the ponies a chance to attack--which Ironeye took, shooting a fireball at the unshielded centaur that had been attacking Caliber, hitting it square in the chest. It growled in frustration, beginning to shake out of it's reverie. At the noise, the other centaurs began to work through their surprise, as well.

 

(They're surprised, and open, thus lack of attacking for the moment.)

[Little Red 1,529]

Red charged out after Strider, sword in her mouth. She leapt into the air, soaring above the centaurs, and began flying downwards, going towards the one that had been attacking Caliber, sword ready to strike the centaur from above, eyes narrowed from the wind as grvaity flung her down. She aimed a slash at the back of the centaur's neck.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

*Rift* @Reaver

 

Rift turned to face the snarling mare behind him as she begun accusing him. "That bitch stepped into the arena, you know the rules once two enter only one leaves. You're lucky I kept her alive since I figured she'd be of use to you." He snarled not appreciating Tsunami's outburst after his show of mercy. "Before you come biting a stallion's head off you should learn to count your blessings."

 

Rift turned from the two and begun walking home since he had a chance to speak to them both. "And Mal was merely here to say good job on the fight." He interjected for Malum, even though he didn't follow either leader he favored Malum the most because the leader never tried throwing a collar on him nor has he ever tried shouting or ordering him around. Rift doesn't do well when it comes to following orders so working under one of the leaders to him is just redundant.

Malum blinked, turning up his nose at Tsunami's flicking him with her tail. She certainly seemed a lot more irate than usual. It was almost amusing.

 

She rounded on him, and he simply shrugged.

"I am just asking Rift how his fight went," he answered nonchalantly, "Minding my own business. He went surprisingly easy on that little mare, non?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

*Radiant* 

 

Radiant stepped back a few feet with his swords levitating above his head ready to deflect a swing from the centaurs, the centaur on his left had only the wooden shaft of his spear left in his hand so he wasn't a big threat. The towering behemoths begun moving to either side of Radiant with a toothy grin on their faces. 

 

Radiant looked to the centaur to his right and back to the one to his left, he had one way to deal with flanking but he didn't didn't want to expend the mana it required. "I suppose I should do so, i can't take another hit from these lugs." He thought to himself as his horn begun to glow once even brighter and magic energy begun arcing over his body. The centaurs halted for a second only a few feet from him unsure of what was going to happen.

 

Within the next second a wave of magic energy exploded outward from Radiant. Once the magical wave hit the centaurs the two were shoved back a few feet causing them to open their defense. Radiant took the chance to run past the Centaur wielding the sword while swinging both swords at his side. One sword made contact cutting into his flesh while the other was swatted away by the centaur swinging his sword behind him.

 

 

In the distance two guards on the watch towers in bandit city could see something happening in the distance. "Hey isn't that two centaurs?" One of them ask squinting his eyes. "I think they are fight some pony." 

 

The other guard walked up looking out at the commotion and saw an explosion of magic. "Man, not just a pony... a unicorn with magic..." He answered keeping his eyes on the fight.

[Commander Tangent 861]

Now looked like the good time to strike. The bait had brought the centaurs right into the kill zone. It was likely that they would find themselves on the losing end of this battle. Lunar was not one to kill, but he knew the centaurs would not surrender, and would likely not listen to reason. Sadly, they might have to be eliminated. He only hoped that after their deaths that maybe they could find peace from their twisted lives. He hefted his halberd and flung silently up into the air. With a swift dive he went right for the closest centaur to him that was following the bait. He aimed just below his ribs, were vital organs were not protected by bone.

*Centaurs*

 

Red joined her friend in his assault on one of the sword wielding behemoths making a clean deep cut on the centaur's neck, the cut was deep but not enough to be fatal at the moment. Out of response of the blow to his neck the centaur swung his elbow back toward the pest who was still falling from his neck, he only brushed the small mare not even enough to mess with her fall. 

 

Meanwhile Lunar attacked from the other side making a swing at the sword centaur opposite of Strider and Red. His large halbred cut into the centaur's flesh under the ribs causing a deep laceration across the centaur's stomach causing a pool of blood to spill onto the ground. It caused the centaur to reel from the pain but he quickly composed himself. 

 

****@Unicorncob****

 

Meanwhile the centaur before Tyra managed to recover and swung his flail at the mare. (tyra can dodge this swing) The Centaur in front of Caliber also swung his flail at the stallion furious about the wound caliber put on him. (Caliber can dodge as well)

 

The archer was still a safe distance from the chaotic fight, he kept one eye clamped shut attempted to wait for a moment the group opened up so he could hit his target behind them all. As soon as an opening showed itself the centaur loosed the arrow from his bow letting it fly through the air toward the chaos. Unfortunately when the centaur Red had sliced moved from his injury the arrow embedded itself in the centaur's flesh, impaling him through the elbow. He yelled out in anger. "You idiot!" Knowing the arrow came from his own ally.

caliber smirked. the centaur he was fighting was getting too angry to hit correctly. 

 

he moved slightly to the left, the flail passing through his side, and he tried to jumped up again, almost 'running' up the shield. and this time, with one hoof, he grabbed the top of the shield, and forced it downwards. he swung his sword at the opening he made.

She smirked and cricked her neck. "It is on."

 

She suddenly leapt at the centaur, aiming her axe at his flail-hand in attempt to fully sever it.
