Mira on ++ Chapter 2: Dark Force Rising (OPEN)

	Mira gave a sharp nod to Jonas before leaping towards the lizard. She saw him trying to get up, but she landed with a strong kick. After that, she saw he was down for good. The rest of the Reptites seemed to be trying to flee. Now Mira relaxed a little and looked to the village. There was a great deal of chaos within. People preparing to fight or looking for loved ones. The magic seemed to have them quite alarmed, and she could see the confusion about the new arrivals. “We friends!” Mira called out to assure them, along with making the gesture of peace. “Reptite common enemy!” This seemed to get more Iokans to come out. “Mira!” Mira froze for a second. That was a voice she hadn't heard in almost twenty years. Mother? She felt a strange sense of joy at seeing her again, but fear of being caught. “Mira!” However, she quickly saw that her mother wasn't paying any attention to her. She was running around, searching. Mira seemed to remain frozen for a few seconds, caught in her emotions. Finally, she shook it off and tried to remember where her younger self would be. “Uh…” Maybe…? She looked around, finding tracks in seconds, then pulled a young teenager out of the grass. Mira grinned wildly. It was her! Not quite yet an adult, and free of tattoos. Then she realized she was scaring herself. “Ember.” She gestured to herself.

	Dark Force Rising
	There never was a dull moment around these people. That was a fact that Demitri had quickly learned, and it was no different even this far into the past. Part of the young inventor had wished Freyr had left Mira the way she had been, as her anger at her new appearance greatly amused him, but he guessed that'd be bad for morale if Mira was too busy beating the snot out of Freyr to concentrate on potential enemies. In any case, whatever thought was being given to their disguises was quickly replaced by alarm as the obvious sounds of some sort of raid echoed through the forest. It had to be coming from Mira's village, and along with the others Demitri took off in a sprint towards the village, a black smoke stack serving as his beacon. As they got close, the signs of a raid were clear, and a small group of reptile-like creatures were making their escape after a successful raid. We certainly can't be having them leave so soon. We haven't even gotten to party yet, Demitri thought to himself. Mira went on ahead, and from there the group seemed to seperate. Demitri himself kept within the tall grass and sprinted within it using it for cover. The inventor stayed in the brushed for as long as it ran along the village, and only exited as he neared his targets. Staying clear of the chaos of the raided village helped him move quickly, and as the other seemed to lock on to targets of their own, Demitri selected the one fleeing the furthest. Burn! Throwing his right hand forward in a sweeping motion, a ball of fire erupted from his palm and towards the front reptite.

Souji looked out at the battlefield to see the magical lightning bolt and smirked towards Jonas the seeming caster, "Glad to know our art didn't die out." Then his face went stern as a monster attempted to attack Freyr, "O Gnowee, I have found thy child. Keep him within your grasp." The words seemed slurred at the speed they came out while a ring of fireball surrounded the imp. Each fireball torched up burning the hand of the imp and making him drawn within. Souji stormed over to the imp who was in a dome of fire, which lower as he got close, the fire mirrored in Souji's eye. "Your kind knows nothing of the power of the power, but I will teach YOU, while you show us where your kind comes from." Souji caused the fire torches to blaze high once again then the torches in front of him went back to their fireball form. He never looked at his brother as he talked, always looking at the imp hoping fear would keep him from acting.

The cold blast from Freyr's left hand hit its mark before he realized his grave error. The crystalline shattering of ice against the creature's hardened skin created a racket louder than he could have imagined, drawing startled glances from creatures and villagers alike. Frozen to the spot, not by any spell of ice but with utmost embarrassment, his eyes darted quickly between his party mates. He hoped none of the villagers had seen from where the spell had come or been witness to his slip, elsewise he feared Mira's swift retribution.

Watching the creature stumble backwards, he waited in vain for it to fall over backwards. Instead, it snarled. His eyes widened in fear.

Noticing Jonas raising his arms to the sky, he wondered what kind of pagan gods this strange man felt it necessary to appease in this trying moment. “Hey… now's now the time for that!” As they seemed to be enveloped by shadow overhead, it dawned on him that there might be more to this than meets the eye. A thundering crack and a flash of light struck the group of fleeing creatures. “…Magic? Impossible!” He could not believe that such a character wielded that sort of power.

The creeping sensation suddenly returned at his back, urging him to whip around. One of the hideous creatures faced him, teeth bared, ready to strike. He cowered and covered his head with one arm, closing his eyes and desperately brandishing his mop in front of him.

	Chapter II ~ Dark Force Rising
	For the briefest of moments a cool burst of wind hit Jonas as Freyr cast ice on one of the Reptite invaders who neared Mira. He wondered if their attempt at disguise had just been cast aside, or if the Iokans had some understanding of magic, either way Freyr had set the precedent and Jonas saw no reason why, if pressed, he couldn't fall back on his own spells now as well. ” They're trying to escape, we can't let that happen. ” Jonas was heard saying, as he came up behind Mira and Freyr, his eyes glancing past the stunned Reptite to the group that was making haste for the river in the distance. Jonas' mind wandered to the stories he had read about Crono's adventure in 65 million BC, of the forest like maze that lay beyond the river, he did not want to lose sight of the Reptites. Raising his arms high into the air Jonas seemed for a moment to levitate as the wisps of puffy white clouds overhead began to condense and darken in a swirl directly above them. With a flash of blinding light and a thunderous boom a bolt of lightning arced down from above striking one of the fleeing creatures and leaving the others in a momentary daze. The clouds dispersed as quickly as the had condensed and the sun quickly broke through once more. ” Mira, I expect you can handle this brute on your own. Jonas said flatly, completely aware of her combat abilities, as he brushed past trying to catch the fleeing party before they regained their senses.

Combat: Reptites

The Reptites moved with surprising dexterity for such stocky creatures. Their snarls showed pointed white teeth that gleamed in the hot sun that hung in the sky overhead. The creatures mostly seemed to flee, the purpose of the raid having been accomplished, though some remained in melee with villagers and other pursuers as they fled. A small group of the creatures brought up the rear and did their best to hold the advance of the Iokans, though trouble had appeared on their flank.
” What issss thisss?! ” One of the creatures was overheard, his reptilian tongue slithering his speech as the time travelers engaged.
The resounding burst of ice shattering against one of the creatures echoed through the area and seemed to catch the others off guard, though the same effect was had on the few villagers that were still in pursuit. The effected Reptite stumbled backwards, his clawed hands grasping at his chest where the spell had struck. He snarled in pain as the others attempted to flee.

—
Four Reptites are fleeing, the one hit by the ice spell has yet to flee.

	Mira left onto one of the lizards, attacking it's known weak points. Nearby she noticed others being attacked by those in her party. In the brief distraction, she was thrown off the lizard, but not harmed. Mira growled as she turned to look at the creature.

The heat from the flames seemed to soak into Souji causing an uncomfortable feeling, but amplifing his power. He was disgusted by the wonton use of the power and how it ran amok. Power like this must be precise. Souji was able to cast a spell when his brother did, a smile crossed his face. He was getting stronger, his usual barrier was one of attack not defense. He knew his spell may get in the way so he watched to see how Freyr had improved. His little brother was finally finding his strength.

Watching the others bound ahead into the village, it looked to Freyr as if he had no choice. A creeping sensation at his back pushed him onwards. He didn't want to be ambushed by any of those creatures that happened to be lurking.

He saw Jonas draw his sword, somewhat longer and broader than before to match his new size. Freyr wished he had performed a spell to give him some sort of weapon, not that it would've aided him much. He'd had no training in the use of arms. A poignant wish struck him that he hadn't spent so much time with his head stuck in books about the finer details of love magic. He pouted. “How will any of that help me now!?“

If he were stuck in this mess, then so be it. Seeing Mira was severely outnumbered, he cast Ice on one of the creatures encroaching on her right.

	Chapter II ~ Dark Force Rising
	Jonas was struck motionless for a moment as he looked upon Ioka in flames, the bombastic drumming driving to his core. Mira have moved quickly and before he realized the others had caught up from behind. He moved quickly, snapping back into action after Mira who had caught the fleeing tail end of the Reptite force and without any thought had attacked. Jonas had always admired this quality in her, the instincts that she possessed were like nothing he had encountered before, he wondered if the others from this time were the same. Feeling the warmth of the distance fires at his back Jonas moved as fast as possible to bridge this distance between he and the combatants, using the grass for stealth as much as a person running full sprint could. ” Keep them in sight! ” He heard himself yelling out as he pulled his blade from it's harness, his mind not thinking how Freyr's magic might effect it's appearance, or if it would at all. Jonas slowed his pace as he neared Mira, who was about to leap at one of the attacking lizards.
	— OOC Talk: — For the most part combat will work nearly the same, except a bit more 'free'. I will post for any NPCs like I would in the battle threads before. Importantly we can decide to use stats or not to, that's up to everyone else to decide. Stat combat will take longer, where as if we simply free form the battles within common sense they should flow with the store much better. So everyone should just let it be known what they would prefer and we'll go from there, for now though free form.

	Dark Force Rising –
	Mira barely registered the words behind her. She kept rushing towards the enemy. Sometimes she yelled out during an attack, but as she approached, she saw that no one noticed her. She had the element of surprise. She used the grass for cover before springing her attack.

Souji continue to run, the tall grass only getting in his way somewhat. The very ideal of uncontrolled fire like this was so foreign to him, Zeal lived in peace. Sure minor disputes, but nothing like this. The very sight made his blood pump fast and boil. Anger clouded his head as he continued running even as he hit the grass line. , "Freyr let's go." Anger at who did this and understanding for Mira. With or without her he would have went in, she just drove him faster, looking for her as well as any signs of the attackers.

Stumbling after the others, butterflies beat around Freyr's stomach. He saw the smoke rising from the village as they approached. He'd heard of great battles during his lessons and in books, but never had he seen hand-to-hand combat. He whimpered, pausing for a moment as he saw… Mira is what she called herself?… launch into the fray. Planting the mop at his side, it appeared as a mute companion surveying the situation with him. Its dreadlocks swung this way and that in the furious wind. The screams filling the air curdled Freyr's blood. He looked to his brother.

“…Are you sure we're not better off on our own?”

He looked into the distance. Did those people have… green skin? Gleams of sunlight reflected off exposed arms and shoulders. That wasn't skin at all… they were scales. He paled.

“We're not actually going in there, are we?”

	Chapter II ~ Dark Force Rising
	The rhythmic thud of the drums synced with Jonas' racing heart as the scene below began to unfold before his eyes. He watched as Mira parted the wavy sea of grass and with the ease of familiarity, swiftly pushing forward towards the chaos and melee in the distance. He rationally knew that this could be no coincidence, that such a raid would happen just as they reached the village seemed to strange. The pull of fate seemed to grasp him once again, and blindly he started after Mira. The wind whipped through the grassland with a force that startled Jonas as he desperately tried to keep behind Mira. It's force seemed wild, uncontrollable, he wondered if everything in this time shared that characteristic. Sweat beaded down his face, the humidity and glare of the sun overhead enough to cook someone, though his body felt strong, his muscles responsive. Ahead a towering pillar of black smoke loomed, he instinctively knew it rose from Ioka. He looked behind him, but found only the rippling grass, the others lost. The sounds of screams grew louder, though the were muted by the heavy thud in Jonas' ears. The grass came to an end, the scene it opened into was a war zone. ” Mira!? ” Jonas found himself calling out as he searched the burning village from the edge of the grass for her silhouette. The scene before him seemed to paralyze him with shock, the thatched huts and wooden structures of Ioka seemed to all burn before him. Children screamed, and the locals streamed towards the rivers edge and the bridge in the distance, chasing the remains of the Reptites back.

	Dark Force Rising – Fight!
	They reached high, dense grass, and the tracks were fading. "Mira village," she answered. Jonas asked another question, but Mira barely registered it. What was that? Drums? Mira fold the sound, and she soon saw the village was being attacked. "Fight!" Mira sprinted towards the attackers, almost disappearing into the grass. She wasn't even sure if the others followed or not, but she suspected that at least two of them did.
