At The Wedding Tent: Battle Thread

Jason wasn't oblivious to the fact that his back was exposed. As Braden approached he would push forward with the body- he was still a little caught off guard, and the blade would make a razer thin entry into his back as he rolled over the corpse whose neck he cut, Jason unable to reply to his sister.. He clenched his teeth in seething pain as he would turn back toward the man who had attacked, raising his shield. He was wounded, albeit lightly. He would have to shed more blood for what this fellow had done.



He would wait, however, for the man to attack as it started raining. Good. With the rain and storm, he could use water discretely, and nobody would be the wiser.

Tere's song was cut off by her getting tackled by someone, thankfully, with her other girls singing, the storm would continue to grow, the closeness to the sea added extra power to their song. Tere however, gripped the man by his shirt and brought her knee up hard between his legs, aiming for his family jewels before she would bring her other foot up, flipping him over and off of her. Free of the man, she did a kip up onto her feet and turned, readying herself for another attack from either the first guy or someone else.

Braden for @calloway

The man barely got a cut, but didn't have time to relax. Braden lunged forward, aiming an overhead slash, right as he did so a shield bashed into his other arm.

Kevin for @tere

Kevin grunted as she knocked him in the balls, before his world was sent upside down and he was flipped into the table. The wind was knocked from him and he lay there, groaning in pain.

Suddenly a group of archers burst in from behind Teres left, six or seven of them were firing on the wedding, one aiming specifically at Teres shoulder.

Jason would harden the water at Braden's feet, aiming to pitch him forward. Once/if it worked, he would pull spikes from water into Braden's body- secretly. Always stealthy. So no one could see his attacks. Then he would turn to the archers, eyes wide. He hadn't expected so many bowmen...

"TERE GET DOWN!"

He would crouch and pull up his own shield to block any arrows that would try and hit him.

Tere made a quick job of jumping on the guy that she had kneed, sliding the blade of her sword clean across his throat, nearly decapitating him. But as she made the finishing slice, an arrow hit her in the shoulder, causing her scream to echo like her whistle had earlier. She turned and as her eyes locked on the one that hit her, lightning forked from the sky, through the material of the tent and hit the archer. If they were close enough together the lightning would travel through all of them. If not, it would simply leave that one toasted beyond recognition.

@theenemy

Braden for @calloway

Braden's eyes widened as he pitched forward onto spikes, embedding all over his body, killing him instantly. His shield, however, protected Jason from two arrows.

Devon for @tere

Devon drew another arrow and fired, just before the bolt hit him and fried his brain. It would stop with him though, as the other archers were instead blown away by the shockwave.

Jason stood, chopping the arrows off with his blade before rushing to Tere's side. He would look around. Was anyone else on the battlefield paying attention to him?

If so:

Jason would speak into Tere's ear. "I'm going to kill all the badies but....pretend it was you!"

If not:

Jason would grunt and attempt to fire dozens of water bullets up at all the enemies around, trying to kill them all!

Tere growled as yet another arrow hit her, thankfully though, this one was just a glancing shot off her arm, leaving a fine cut along her shoulder. She glanced around, looking first to Jason and nodded before she turned her eyes on the archers that had been blown away by the attack on the one that hit her. Reaching up, she tore the arrow from her back. It would only serve to get in her way. Then she stormed up to one of the archers, bringing her foot hard into the guy's side. When she was pissed, there was a no holds barred with her. Kicking a man when he's down was not off limits to her.

Ember Lynn was lying under a table in the large wedding tent. Her white dress was covered in sand and she shook her head to gather her bearings. She didn't know exactly what had happened but she could hear the familiar sound of battle around her. Pulling the table cloth up a few inches to see if anyone was in her immediate surroundings. She found that she was near the edge of the tent, probably at the Bridal Party's table. She crawl out from under the table, noticing for the first time that the cleavage of her dress was stained bright red from blood that trailed down her neck from the back of her head. She must have been struck at some point. By the time she made it to the opening of the tent, Ember Lynn had kicked out of her heels and was looking desperately for her best friend, "Masin!" She screamed, standing barefoot outside of the tent. There was a few bodies lying nearby that Ember Lynn didn't want to address. She heard a voice from behind her and turned to see an oddly familiar face glaring at her, holding a sword to her neck. Ember Lynn thoughts she may have met with the girl at the first battle, but she wasn't sure, "Please, don't." She said, holding both of her hands up as if she were trying to show she was giving up.

Masin finally caught sight of Ember crawling out from underneath the bridal table. Masin heard her name and heard Ember scream. She ran forward, seeing the girl hold a sword to Ems neck. Masin cursed, she couldn't strike lightening now or Em would be electrocuted! She slowed her pace, coming up behind the girl. Masin picked up a knife, a simple butter knife from the table nearby. She stood right behind the girl threatening Ember and jammed the butter knife into her side. She leaned forward, putting her lips to the Titan daughters ear, "take. a. step. back." Her voice was slow, cold and ruthless as she twisted the butter knife in the girls side.

His sister distracted him, keeping him from putting everyone down. As Ember rushed up, Jason would as well, grabbing the wrist of the hand that held the knife and jerking it away while the assailant was distracted. He'd bite it, forcing the person to let the knife go before shouting at Masin to "GO!, hoping she would back away enough for him to bury his sword in the attackers chest. His shield lay back a ways, forgotten for the moment.

Assuming it worked, he'd shout after Masin.

"LOOK AFTER THE CHANCELLOR!"

Hoping she would listen he'd go back to fighting with Tere....if he could find her.

Dylan had been swept away in the chaos, separated from Ember Lynn before he even had a chance to realize what was going on. At first, he had been disoriented and confused. Now that he had his bearings, he realized that he needed to find his wife. Now. Picking up a fallen sword, he ran back towards the tent in time to see Ember Lynn and Masin, the Egyptian woman in between them. He had already failed. She was already in trouble.

Picking up his pace, Dylan ran until he was within an arm's length of Masin. He couldn't do anything but stand there and hope that she could save Ember Lynn. The woman was too close and anything he did would just get in the way.

[From This Thread As Accalia tried to fight through the crowds, she really wasn't doing well. She could see the trees nearby, over her shoulder, and slowly started taking steps back until she was at the trees. She lifted her hands, an arrow shot past her but she dodged it, and soon the tree branches were growing wild, bursting toward the enemies before her. One branch went in one guys ear and out the other, another branch flattened a nearby attacker...]

Another branch burst through the tent, ripping the wall closest to her aside to reveal her standing there in her carnage. But she only stood there looking impressive for a moment before a long knife went straight into her left leg.

Ember Lynn's face broke into a grin, her hands were still held up in a defensive motion and the Egyptian girl wasn't back down despite being outnumbered. The girl's black eyes were like fire as she spoke, "You killed my sister!" She yelled, wincing. Ember Lynn made a face that was torn between anger and regret, "I'm sorry..." She voice was barely heard over the crashing noise of battle. She pushed her defensive hands forward suddenly and the rain plashed into the girls' face. The ocean rose around Dylan and sheilded him in a cocoon, doing the same for Maisn as it washed the Egyptian girl out to sea.

Masin saw a lot of things happen at once.

First, Dylan was running toward them. Second, the girl who had Masins butter knife in her side was telling Ember that she had killed her sister. Masin twisted the knife even more, wanting to make her suffer even more for even assuming that Camp Half Blood hadn't lost family too. Before she could say anything, Jason was shoving her out of the way and attacking the girl. Ember Lynn shot forth a shower of water, pushing the girl out of the tent and into the ocean. Masin waited for her protective cyclone to go down before stepping over to Em, taking her hand, "Dylan!" she called, turning toward the husband man. "We need to get her out of here, now," she knew Dylan wasn't much of a fighter, but she spoke very firmly to him anyway, "I'll watch our backs, we need to get her to the Office building, there is a bunker underground there," she explained to Dylan as she started to pull Em out of the tent.

Before she could go, however, a group of four enemies started to follow them. Masin released Embers hand, turning to face the attackers. She was really missing her butter knife right now... "Em... a little help?" a wicked smile grew on Masins face as her fingers started to spark. She fired electricity at two of the baddies.

One of them was gaining on her, lifting a sword to cut her down but suddenly an arrow went right through his eye and he tumbled backwards. Masin dropped her hands, letting them fly to her chest in shock.
