"Tch..." a tongue click was all Jade could muster after witness the events that transpired. He knew the god of shadows would have a couple of tricks up his sleeve but he could never expect this. He could never forgive him for this. Jade tilted his hat down, it's rim now covering his eyes. "Lets go, there's no point in wasting any more time here. We need to get those toa stones." The man grumbled. He despises the thought of having to fight a comrade in battle, however, if need be he won't hesitate to do what's necessary for the good of everyone else... Even if it means he'll have to kill. Let's just hope that it doesn't come to that point.

Jade's hand tensed up and curled up into a fist when he first sensed the Makuta's shadowy touch. He wasn't wrong though. Among all these strong and powerful folks, he's just an ordinary man with a gun. However, even still he's been able to assist. Besides, he hasn't met an entity so far that can out smart a bullet to the right spot, and he doubts that Mr.Makuta will be any different. Finding that one spot on the other hand is the tricky part of the job. "Sure, sure you can take my trigger finger, but I'd still have my middle one waiting for ya. I'm sure you two would make great friends."

"Not to be rude Mr. Makuta, but usually when making a deal people talk face-to-face and not face-to-'Two glowing red lights trying way too hard to be scary'." The gunslinger was quite nonchalante while speaking, though still kept his hand close to Ace should words become action. "Besides, I don't quite like the way I hear you've been treating these so called 'peasants' of yours. So, forgive if I'm not too keen on this whole deal at first."

In his gloom Argos started to now notice how much pain those fire balls actually caused him. In an effort to try and ease it he starting rubbing some ointment on it. As the did that he slowly drifted his way around the trees, not really noticing that he's going father away from the main foe than closer. A soft sigh can barely be heard from his direction to anyone close. Argos to H10 Vul Self

"If you desire I could give you a nice foot massage, Scarlet. Once we get to our ride of course." Baldur offers the scholar with hesitation. He wasn't a bit tired, he wouldn't like a simple hike hamper his duties. Baldur was also adorned with his mask he hand crafted himself. It covered the entire left side of his face with it arching a little over to the right covering his right eyebrow. It definitely had a masquerade look to it and had a purple orchids all along the left side with the white stem and leaves being as it woven around elegantly against the black base. The purple petals almost seemed to flow through a breeze as the made their way across tho the right side.

"It is an honor to be working with you all. Let us make the future bright together!" Baldur chooses the Earth affinity

Toshiro Moves to the eastern wall

Jade opens up the cylinder and dumps the empty shells into the sand. He begins to replace them with new bullets. "Well, at least I've still got it. Maybe this isn't so bad after all." Holstering away Ace, he turns back to the group, "That Air Stone sounds the easiest to find. It's underneath the tallest tree in a jungle right? How hard could that be? We should get it before the.. myscooter... reaches it first."

Argos grew a big smile as he thwarted off Kris and her wicked attempts to disrupt them. However, turning back he noticed that his attempts to compliment Rhian only led to her looking and feeling more angry. So I guess that's another failure on his list. He looked away silently, trying not to say anything more to stop himself from making things worse. He shouldn't have opened his big mouth, then maybe things would've been better. It's moments like these that he knew that no one could "talk about him all cute like." Why would anyone do that for someone like him?

Argos tries to regain his composure. Kris is just trying to mess with him but the IVOKER OF MAYHEM will not go down so easily. He needs to stand up not only for himself but also for Rhian! The lad stands straightens up and speaks with vigor and assertiveness, "L-look, I just complimented Rhian because I think she's super cool and awesome and amazing, unlike a certain someone here. While I wouldn't call that flirting, I think Rhian is a good person and will make whoever she ends up with a very happy person in the future. So you can take your little smile and go somewhere else. Don't make me add splinters to the new holes you'll acquire."

"F-flirting!?!? N-no you've got the wrong idea here! Especially on the battlefield, I would never waste time with such impure motives!" The boy cheeks were glowing red and he was shaking his head and hands side-to-side in denial.

Jade looked and his now metal plated hands. "Did not sign-up to be part cyborg. Though I should have exepcted a strange capsule to do some weird shit. Hope I still have both kidneys." He then realized with all this metal on his hands it'll definitely affect his marksmanship. Reaching for his holster he realizes that his revolver had been altered too. His baby was tampered by that console, "Dammit! You can cover me in metal plating all you want but when you mess with Ace you've crossed the line!" Frustration and anger drenched his voice. However for some odd reason it felt just as natural in his metal hand as it did before all these weird changes. He better make sure he gets accustom to it when battle inevitably rears it's head. Calming down he steps away from the group and takes aim at a far away tree etching out from the jungle onto the beach, "Stand behind me, don't want any of you getting hurt. Just wanna see if Ace here still works." He takes aim at six different branches and fires a bullet at all of them with his altered revolver. (Heartlight Stat: +2 Dex)

Argos was angry that his second attack just barely missed the mage, but his anger quickly became awe as Rhian just pinned the guy with her arrow. He starred wide eye'd at the armored archer, you could see the sparkles in his eyes. "Wow Rhian, you really are something! How did you become just a hot shot with a bow!?!?" Admiration drenched his voice as he spoke.

"An honor to be of service. I do not plan to be a burden however, so please do not hesitate to make a request!"

"Teh, not bad. I guess you're better than I gave you credit for." The boy tanked the fire ball keeping his stance firm. "But it'll take more than that to bring me down! En garde!" He runs forth creating a wall between the mage and his allies approaching from the east. He will protect them AND this village! Move to K8 and defeat the mage!

"Aw come on Rhian, you can't handle walking through a some trees? Can't blame you, it's a lot tougher than dealing with these weaklings!" The boy continued forward, making his own way through. "Grrrr... I can't believe they're attacking the town now. This isn't right! They have nothing do with this!" The lad growled, "Don't know why I expected they'd have a smidgen of honor." He then turned his blade to the northern treeline "I'm also referring to you mage. Don't think you can hide from my eye within those trees! Come on and show me what your puny magic can do! That is if you can even aim it properly!" Argos moves to J10 and absolutely taunts mage 3 by being Argos

"Ugh... head spinning..." Argos mumbled to himself as he laid in the dirt path coming out from the bridge. He could see a shimmering light then everything in his sight starts to stabilize. He lifted his back off the ground looking around trying to figure out what happened. Last he remembered he was ganged up on by two guys with lances. Wait that's right they were in combat! He looked frantically for his sword, luckily it was still beside him. He picked it up and used it as a sort of crutch to help him off the ground. He could see the light once more a soothing feeling afterward. Looking to his right he saw Verden taking care of his wounds. "Ah, thanks my jolly comrade! Sorry for the hassle, but this shall not happen again! ... hopefully!" He spoke to the priest before raising his sword in the air with his right hand. "Now to unleash the fury my blade on our foes! For I am, ARGOS! THE INVOKER OF MAYHEM!" With that he charged after the nearest foe and proceeded to make his assault. Argos moves to M11 and attack Merc 1

Eventually, everyone gets their chance to earn a slumber free from the fear of what hardships and grueling labor tomorrow might be. Rather they are free to relax once again. However, all of our stories heroes, no matter their current location seem to all have the same dream this night. As soon as everyone in the group arises they begin to pack everything up. Strangely enough, when everyone awoke, Zentilin had a bag filled with new weapons for the group. How he was able to acquire those in the night is a mystery of itself. Oilver and Krian too agree to keep in charge of the cart, taking turns pulling it as continues forward though the forest. They had to make it out and back onto the main road while also being wary of any soldiers who were out looking for them. However, no one could have expected what was going to happen next. Everything looked cleared so far. They haven't been caught yet and have been making good headway. It was evening and the sun was beginning to set. Zentilin had put his hood back up, why he was so eager to conceal his face no one in the group knew. "We should be able to get to the main road before nightfall, if we keep at this pace." But just as he said it the ground started to shake and a plume of dark purple and snow white energy rose out from the tops of the trees. The purple energy was definitely some sort of dark magic, not unlike what Zentilin had been uses. "What in the Goddess' name was that!?" Without a moments hesitation the group headed towards the sight of the explosion, it seemed almost like the wind itself was pushing them there as they felt a strong gust at their back urging them forward. By the time they arrived most of the dust had settled and they could clearly see the remains of a large carriage. Along with that many bodies of what seem to be a mix of soldiers and prisoners. Some were pale due to the loss of their life energy while others were half cinders. There seems to be one man that survived the attack, however, clutching a lance in his hands. Though it seems he didn't come out unscathed and there are noticeable wounds on him. Not like they others though, they seemed to be more like wounds left by blades. Rusty may now introduce his character!

"So this Warrior's Village houses great swordsmen? Heh, maybe I can convince everyone to stay there for a bit. I want to test my sword arm against everyone in there, and raise the infamy of my name!" Argos thought gleefully to himself and he couldn't help but grow a huge smile on his face. Though he has a job to do here first, he crept towards the western bridge trying to make as little noise as possible. Move to R12
