Shattered Dimensions

[The Painted Lady]

Fiora gave Dante the best glare she could manage, still struggling to recover from the attack she had taken from him on his brother's behalf.
'No thanks to you, idiota!'
She sat on the ground for a moment after he rushed away, trying to recover her breath and get her limbs to obey before she got shakily to her feet. Her eyes were immediately back on the brothers though. It looked like retreat wasn't quite on Fiora's mind. Rather, she looked about ready to stalk back and give the both of them a good slap across the face. She wasn't particularly happy about being "the closest piece of meat". She flicked her wrist defiantly, releasing her wrist blade from it's mechanism in her arm bracers. Surely she could now consider herself... 'invited' to this little family spat.

He made no move to retrieve his hand from his pistol as the alien, made a light threat about his placement. He looked at the alien's tech, below it's hand. It merely looked like an oddly shaped shaft. He instantly took to a connection, that told him this creatures weaponry needn't be blatantly obvious. The creature itself, hadn't been blatantly obvious till a few moments ago, for all it mattered. He listened as the schoolboy reassured the dino-alien that he wasn't going to cause the boy harm. He smirked, as he usually did in place of a smile.

"Listen to the kid, dino. I'm no threat to you guys, unless I feel threatened." he responded sardonically.

He watched as the blue prick released the girl, and red collected her and tore off instantly after that. Baird took it upon himself to move towards the girl, and bring her to the safe reaches of the fight. As he approached, he watched as a blade extended from her wrist. A sight that took him off-guard, but noone was presently watching his face, let alone capable of doing so, which he took comfort in. He didn't want to register surprise to them. He cleared his throat, to signal his approach and not be gutted.

"Uh, I wouldn't recommend getting in the way of this fight, you know. You seem normal. They don't. Maybe...you should..." he lost trail of his sentence as he took in her face...and the look of sheer venomous rage across it. He winced slightly, knowing she was giving these two a look that could freeze the devil in his tracks, he didn't want to further undermine her sense of self.

"Just...count it a friendly warning." he covered, standing beside her.

Thel's finger twitched on the button that would activate his sword, knowing that once it was activated blood must be payed. He growled internally and put his sword handle away, for the boy's sake. Thel owed him at least that much. This new human would be watched though, very carefully, because Thel was torn between his loyalty, and his warrior honor.

Vergil's eyes narrowed as his brother charged him. There was a demonic roar in the background and Vergil turned to face it. He looked back at Dante and smirked.
"I have things to attend to, Dante." He was then picked up by a large flying demon, and carried off into the distance.

[Elario Luminus]

Dante cursed loudly, and put Rebellion away. When he turned around, he saw the destructive look the girl was giving him and shrugged nonchalantly.
'You can be mad all you want, lady. I didn't ask for you to get involved. Plus...I don't even know who you are. Why am I trying to justify myself to you?'
Dante stopped caring what the girl was doing and looked at the newcomer, folding his arms. 'And you? What's your story?'
He'd just about had enough of everyone yelling at him, so he did his best to be as callous as possible, even though he was hurt about his brother being alive, angry at Vergil for bringing the girl into the fight unnecessarily, and sad about how it was somehow his fault.

Yami gave an impatient sigh and relinquished control back to Yugi, now that it seemed the immediate danger was gone.
"Are you alright?" Yugi asked as he ran up to stand beside Fiora. He felt bad that Yami had not reacted fast enough to keep her out of the blue one's grasp.

[The Painted Lady]

Fiora's eyes shot up to the newcomer briefly to assess him, holding her back for the slightest of moments. He hadn't harmed the others, she she quickly decided he didn't require her immediate attention, but by the time her eyes had returned to the battle, intent clear, it was already over and Red was stalking back toward her and the others... Then he had the audacity to scold her!

The words only served to make Fiora angrier, looking like she was ready to spit venom at the man, who had just made it clear to her now that he was not entirely human after his little show.
"Cazzo stronzo. Non me ne frega un cazzo di quello che hai fatto e non vogliamo che accada,"[/i] she hissed in her native tongue, obviously too flustered and downright pissed off for English at this point. "Forse cercare di non attaccare il vostro amico poco tempo dopo si è in possesso di me. Testa di cazzo."[/i]
She ended with a huff, somewhat reluctantly sheathing her hidden blade. She turned her eyes to the little one when he addressed her, immediately trying her hardest to douse the flames in her gaze. She wasn't going to take this out on him. With a deep breath, she attempted to calm herself and smooth her expression.
"I am fine," she said, noting the stiffness in her voice. She worked on softening that too.
"A few cuts and bruises never killed anyone."

[Lykaios]

Baird was now open to the company of Stranded. Only a little bit, but the opening was made. This group was insane. Even by his standards of insane, they were insane. The girl was furious, the school uniform man suddenly seemed abundantly less mature and wizened, and the dino-guts was itching to tear a hole in the corporal, he could feel it in his bones. And this guy in red was just a dick. Baird's expression quickly turned to aggression, as he tried to cull the rage into a manageable outlet of sarcasm.

"My story's of no consequence to a stupid dick like you. Who are you supposed to be? Captain Feces on his jolly quest for shitting everyone off? It's not a fuckin' paradeground, moron! Take some responsibility for yourself. Meant to or not; the lady got involved, and you failed to protect her properly. You shouldn't have a go at her for becoming involved, asshole!" he responded with venom icing his tone. He crudely supplied the man the finger, and walked over to schoolman-boy and the girl, arms folded, ready to deliver a square hit to the face of red if he got some smart-mouthed response back.

"You okay?" he asked her, hoping to have her back to speaking Tyran. Whatever that other language had been, it didn't sound Ephyran, at all.

[Renegade]

Thel had become restless, and so in a impatient huff started scouting the area around while these humans quarreled with one another. No wonder their planet was being torn apart, it is a materialization of their own souls.

[Elario Luminus]

Dante raised an eyebrow and folded his arms, but stayed silent. He walked off into the park, unholstering his pistols and idly twirling them as he drifted through the devilish-looking trees. Okay, so it was his fault that everyone was mad at him. But at the same time, they need to see past what's in front of them. If they knew what he'd seen...

[Tifa Lockhart]

Yugi turned to watch Dante as he left, noting that Thel had also wondered off on his own.
"We should stay together..." he murmured, mostly to himself, though Fiora and Baird could probably hear him too. "We'll be easier to pick off if we're seperated..."
He felt a hand squeeze his shoulder, and he glanced up beside him. To everyone else the space was unoccupied, but his eyes could see Yami there, a hand planted reassuringly on his shoulder.
Everything will be alright, Yugi," he assured him.
Yugi bit his lip and wrapped his arms around himself insecurely. Everything had changed so dramatically for him recently, the weight of the horrors he'd seen and all he'd lost weighed down his heart... only Yami's support had kept him going thus far.

He turned back to Fiora then, plastering a smile onto his face, trying to offer up a brave front.
"I'm glad you're alright."
His eyes then slid hesitantly sideways to the newcomer, he was still a little nervous of this aggressive seeming man.
"What did you mean by... 'Stranded'?" he asked cautiously.

[The Painted Lady]

"Really, I'm fine," Fiora repeated again through her teeth, trying not to take out her considerably sour mood on those around her.
She rubbed her shoulder with an uncomfortable expression, but Yugi's insecurity didn't bypass her. She leaned down toward him, hands on her thighs, to place a kiss on his forehead.
"No need to worry, Piccolo," she assured with a crooked smile.
"I won't be leaving you behind any time soon. Even a girl like me has better morals than that."

[The Painted Lady]

((I apologise for the delay - I was on camp!!))

[Lykaios]

((YAY, INTERNET!))

He looked at Fiora carefully, studying to see if she may have been wounded. He kept his gaze controlled however, so it merely looked as though he was inspecting her figure, rather than making it obvious he was concerned for her safety after the incident she just got drawn into. No matter his company, he kept himself in check by retaining his dickish and stand-offish persona fixed in place. Kept himself from shitting his pants, most of the time. Well, it had worked that way, until the Lambent had rocked up. The kids question caught him off-guard though.

"What do you mean, what did I mean? You don't know what the Stranded are? When the COG used the Hammer strikes, to try and wipe out the Locust invasion? Stranded; the people who survived the strikes and went into hiding? You don't know about Stranded?" his expression gave away his confusion at the kids question. As far as Baird was aware, there was only those idiots in Vectes who knew nothing, but even they knew of Stranded; having been suffering Stranded raids for a time, till the pricks settled at the opposite end of the island. Vectes Naval Base and it's COG outpost had been out of touch for fifteen years, but they knew. How could this kid -who was sometimes not really a kid- not know the Stranded?

He glanced at Fiora's arm where she'd been grabbed, and noted where the clawlike fingers had dug into her arm, and reached into a pouch, pulling out some field bandages, and began to bandage her arm, to prevent infection.

"It's okay; I'm not gonna hurt you." he assured her, before she could protest. When he was done, he deposited the remaining bandages back into the pouch and -keeping a finger on his Boltok- moved over to Red.

"So. You done pouting? Because I don't know what the hells happening here, and you seem to have some knowledge. Let alone freakiness. Are you ready to lead? Or should Dino-face take that job. At least he seems capable." he looked around, trying to find him.

"Wait, where did dino go?" he asked, looking around the area, only then spotting a silhouette. One he assumed belonged to the strange monster. Probably the only inhuman creature he'd ever met that hadn't tried to rip his head off without so much as a hello.

[Renegade]

Thel ignored the humans, not caring about whatever quarrels that this group seemed to carry. The city was on fire, almost ever building, from the smallest store to the tallest corporation skyscraper had several fires belching from it. In the distance there were horrific screams and distorted roars of madness. Thel could not wait to get off this rock and back to his Hierachs.
Thel stayed near the group but remained sleathed

[Salya]

Sina walked about the city, turning out anything and everything. She walked something that she been looking for a while now. She had her blue hair down, loose around her with a few locks in her brownish green eyes. Her white outfit have small cuts as well as small blood area but she didn't mind it.
As she walked, her sword's tip would hit rocks and other hard things since she had it in her right hand. Her gun was hidden but it was in it's holder on her lower back that her hair hid a lot.

((Hope this is ok. ))
