private Need for Heroes!

[Nightfall 3,950]

Sapphire laughed with insanity, and teleported right behind him. He tapped him, saying, "Tag, you're it!" And running in circles around him. "I wish I had hoofcuffs; this would be so much more fun." She tapped horn to his leg and transferred heat from the air directly to his leg, creating a burning sensation amplified by the chilled air. She giggled.

 

Den grinned, "Still worried about that? I'm fine!" He wasn't, I a but he didn't want her to know that. He didn't want her to be angry with herself, because in his opinion, she'd experienced enough of that, and was probably going to experience more before the end of the day. Let her have happiness.

 

"Sapphire, down!"

Nightfall lept up and began flying around the demon, opening fire when he wasn't afraid of hitting Sapphire. He knew this demon could block things with ice, but would some of the rapid fire bullets get past his "defense" system? To try to prevent that, every now and then, he slashed with one of his swords.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

When he said that, Sapphire jumped back out of the bullet spread. She thought about what she could cast that wouldn't be turned against them.

 

Maven held the gun Nightfall had given her in her hooves. She had never used a gun before, but she knew that it was point and shoot. She fired of a 3 round burst and felt the kick, thinking, Oh boy...

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"I think that would be a good idea." Cherry Blossom nodded in agreement as she looked around for a tall building. "Maybe we could use that one over there," she said to him as she pointed at a generally tall building with a hoof. Cherry Blossom started flying to it.

 

((OOC: If the world was united piece by piece for each brohoof Nightfall gave, then there would be world peace.))

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(OOC; We've reached an agreement. If I received $100 for every brohoof he gave me, I would have at least $3000)

 

He nodded, following her. He was trying to stay job-oriented, but his brain wouldn't do it for him, "If you could do anything, anything at all, what would you do?" He continued to fly.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"I-I actually don't know what I want to choose. I was too shy to be a fashion model, I coudln't stomach the work of a nurse, but I've always wanted to raise foals as a mother." Cherry Blossom smiled at him and continued to fly to the top of the building. She did another check on her equipment, just in case she had dropped anything on the way.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den blushed when she mentioned foals, but looked around. A few blocks away there was something that reflect light. It looked like... Ice? "Over there, seems like a good place to start," he said, pointing. He had another question for her; "Cherry, what's your favorite food?" He asked, flying.

[Nightfall 3,950]

When he said that, Sapphire jumped back out of the bullet spread. She thought about what she could cast that wouldn't be turned against them.

 

Maven held the gun Nightfall had given her in her hooves. She had never used a gun before, but she knew that it was point and shoot. She fired of a 3 round burst and felt the kick, thinking, Oh boy...

 

((OOC: Don't hate my brohoofing style. I just like the stuff that's being posted. ))

 

The shots' sounds echoed off of the empty buildings. Over and over, he let rounds fly. And he wasn't staying still. He flew around in circles, trying hard to be the target of the demon's attacks, but not be hit by any of them.

"Maven, let more rounds fly!"

He had to shout to be heard.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"I really can't decide what my favorite food is, but I can never say no to dessert." Cherry Blossom giggled as she flew atop the building, but her ears perked up at the sound of gunfire. "What was that noise?! W-Were those gunshots or something? There must be something going on nearby."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He nodded, "And Sapphire's nearby. Let's land on the roof there and plan it out." He landed, slowly taking out the riot shield and strapping it to his arm. He waited for Cherry Blossom to land. He checked his belt for a weapon, and sighed; he had his pistol, but that was about it gun-wise.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom nodded in agreement and landed next to Den on top of the building. She pulled out her small firearm as well, but she put it back inside the holster and pulled out a tazer instead. "Things may get a little rough, but what's going on down there?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den crawled to the edge and peered over cautiously, then cringed and backed away. He said, "Three ponies; Captain Nightfall, Maven, and Sapphire. One demon, one of the one that came through the portal. I think it's the one you tried to sweet-talk back into it. The demon is trying to flash-freeze them, and Nightfall is trying to gun him down with Maven."

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"So w-what should we do? I'm not a tactician or anything so I'm not sure what to do." Cherry Blossom was feeling nervous that she couldn't convince the demon to leave, but she put on her helmet securely and jumped down off of the building immediately to help the others.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"I think we-" he began and she jumped down. He sighed and jumped down, landing in front of her and putting his riot shield up. "Stay behind me, and if you get an opportunity to shoot, take it." He remembered reading somewhere that in ancient times, two ponies would fight together, one with a shield, and the other with a sword.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"Sure, but I'm not really good at using these things." Cherry Blossom wasn't sure about how to use her pistol, or her tazer anyway. She stood right behind Den, feeling regrets about jumping down first and feeling nervous. Cherry Blossom inhaled and exhaled just like she was inside of the air vent.

The closer the bullets came to Seiryu, the more they losed velosity. By the time he was hit, they were too slow to pierce his skin and all he felt was a stinging sensation. "Did you know that molecules move slower the closer the temperature is to absolute zero? Your bullets have nothing but kinetic energy, and that is worthless in my ice territory! Tell me you have another form of offence. Surely, you must have a form of usable energy. Spirit energy, Magic energy, Demon energy, you must have one of these mastered." The ice at Seiryus feet expanded further and spread up the walls of nearby buildings. The tempurate droppd dramatically. The closer to Seiryu, the colder it was.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom pointed her gun at the demon, but her hooves were shaking. "F-Freeze! You are under arrest in the name of t-the law! You have a right to a l-lawyer, but if you can't afford one you will be sentenced in a t-trial!" she tried to be as assertive as she could, but she tried to say some things a police officer would say. Though she didn't know what police officers would exactly say to a criminal they were trying to arrest. She was still shaking nervous, because she may have just challenged a demon.

"How about two?"

He fired up some power from his demon and created another version of himself. Except this version was all black and looked to be made of mist. This new version dashed around the demon, occasionally buzzing right overhead or going through him. It wasn't much, though, mostly a distraction, so Nightfall kept slashing with his swords and occasionally shooting magic energy at him.

Den sighed, and cleared his throat, "Halt. You are under arrest for destruction of private property, assaulting a police officer, and generally ruining my day. You have the right to remain silent; anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the Celestial Court of Law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you by the state. You have the right to a jury of my peers, as your peers should be locked behind the Veil. But your hands up before Jack shows up and kicks your demon flank! That, Cherry, is a summarized version of the Miranda Rights." He picked up his shield and moved up.

 

Maven thought about what the demon had said. Spirit energy; Jack had mentioned it earlier in relation to Nightfall. She was beginning to wonder if the scientist's liquid was a permanent augment to her spirit; if that was how her abilities worked. She gathered her flute and played a song that intuits played to mourn the loss of ponies lost to ice breaking. At the very least, she hoped to give the demon a headache.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"I said I would take back the life I saved." Said Seiryu, "I never said those two would be the same lifes." He turned to Cherry. his ice territory spread to her hoofs. Creating another ball of ice in his left hand, he blew on it and the shards of ice raced toward Cherry Blossom. "Shards of Winter!"

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den sighed, and cleared his throat, "Halt. You are under arrest for destruction of private property, assaulting a police officer, and generally ruining my day.

But your hands up before Jack shows up and kicks your demon flank! That, Cherry, is a summarized version of the Miranda Rights." He picked up his shield and moved up.

 

((OOC: learned about those recently. Shocking. ))

 

Nightfall saw the ball being formed.

"This can't be good..."

No, so go do something about it."

"Roger. Will do."

Nightfall shot a bit more than swooped down close to the demon. It was really cold right next to him. He slashed his swords, aiming for the demon's head, hoping it would distract him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den jumped in front of the blast and slammed his shield down, bracing himself. The ice ball shattered, denting the metal in the middle of the shield and bursting in a cone around them. It pushed Den back about a foot, and bruised his arm, but he was otherwise fine.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

(I just got tripple ninja'd)

 

As Seiryu blew, he felt Nightfall's blade touch his back. He twirled around, seeing Nightfall's clone. Lifting his left hand, he formed a cutlass attached to his wrist that was made of ice. Showing considerable skill, he mannaged to parry Nightfall's blade with ease. "Your strength was not enough for this fight, say goodby to your friends!" He made a powerfull slash at the Captain's chest.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom immediately tried to pulled the trigger of the pistol, when Den blasted away the shards with the riot shield. "Thank you so much Den, you just saved my life!" She had ended up accidentally pressing the magazine release while tyhanking Den, causing all the ammunition to fall out. "Oh no! Oh why...how could I even do that!" Cherry Blossom was feeling extremely tense now that she had disarmed herself.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

There was a flash between Nightfall and the blade and the Sapphire was there with a dagger blocking the ice cutlass, and using the momentum from the teleportation plus the disorientation of the flash to flip kick the demon. The teleportation force knocked Nightfall back.

 

Den released the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, "Relax, Cherry. Pick up your ammo and reload. Breath, don't hold your breath. In when aiming, out when pulling the trigger. Stay behind me, and aim carefully. Your pepper spray is worthless; it'll freeze. Use your tazer." And please, please don't die.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Seiryu staggered foreward from the force of Sapphires kick. He managed to regain his ballance, then yelled to Sapphire, "You will not insult me! I will make... One final blow!" He formed a second Cutlas from his right wrist and pivited his body to swing at Sapphire's neck.
