- JONATHAN KRAMER - They were split, enough time to swoop and reposition. "EVERYONE BACK!" he commanded, before facing Monica. "YOU TOO!", he and the rest of the troops charged and staggered back. Mercenaries trying to get their bearings, thank god for Jason, but they still needed more time. It was only the opening of the battle, and the two sides had numbers dwindling by the minute. Acchilleus' was more disposable, but the 35 Jon had brought out with him were down to 30. Decent against a disorganised mob, but with the handicap and the fact that there are people of extraordinary abilities within the battle means that they can only survive for as long as fate dictates. They made it to the otherside, and the riot shields came back up. With the mercenaries on the other-side of the artificial wall, it would be a battle of pure attrition. Come on, for the love of god can someone up there send a signal, he thought to himself, as the incoming army became clear through the increasingly heavy storm.

A woman, bleeding from her head and hands, came charging towards Shade with a mocking cry. Her weapon was... A little knife. There was obviously more to this woman but the only was to find out would be to fight. Altering her stance, Shade, faced down the woman and raised her arm. Morphing from a blade into a sharp point, the arm extended forwards like a spear, thrusting towards the assailant's chest.
Venator watched the battle with a frown, before picking her targets and beginning to volley. One, at the woman shooting flames. One at Acchileus himself. And one at... The Harvester. "Hey, Skylark. He's fighting the police chief." She called out, firing another arrow at the assassin.
An arrow came raining down towards Inferno, and Reaver effortlessly caught it out of the air with her blade. Her defensive duty done, she began to fight in earnest, cutting down any who tried to stand between her and the Broker. He was in her sights, and would be hers.

Sienna was not the fastest. She would not be able to dodge the whole of the spike thrusting towards her. Then again that wasn't the aim in any case. She fell forward into it so that it cut higher up her body punching into the artery at her throat.
A scream of pain rushed from her lips as a grimace smiled out at the world. It was so sharp so real. So unlike every dreary day.
"Aw honey that's going to sting." The words were twisted and burbled but clear enough for what they were.
She felt the blood press at the spear. This was what she wanted.

FUCK The burning was almost to much to bear. On reflex, Shade shrouded, and the acid blood fell into the ground with a hiss. Withdrawing her arm back, Shade grimaced internally as she looked at the spike. The tip was gone entirely, and much of it was smoking as it struggled to reform itself. Shifting it back into an arm, she growled in frustration. "Al... Alright then." She panted, regaining her composure as she faced the psychopath down. She couldn't hurt this woman, not like this. Her attacks would only hurt herself. Backing up, feeling outmatched, she looked for an opportunity to fight back.
Nariko's men would have reformed to attack the fleeing mice, had another lamppost not kept them down. Jason grinned despite himself at his success, before turning back to to the fight at hand. Whatever came next, he would be ready.
The mercs recovered, finally, and started to fire on the newly defended soldiers. Their leader pulled herself up off the ground, pulling off her helmet which the second lamppost hAad glanced, cracking it. A small cut on her head bleed an ugly stream down her face. Roaring in anger, Nariko took a grenade off her belt and hurled it high, over the wall of shields.

Sienna wanted to lay down and fall asleep even while the adrenalin dragged her forward, with the shadow spike removed nothing could stop the flow. Arterial spray cracked the ground and hit those around her as she moved slowly forward trying to keep up with the figure. Her clothes started to sizzle away where it touched. She couldn't feel the cold. Her whole body felt on fire as she churned out acid into the world.
She needed to be close. Close to this person who had hurt her. Her legs dragged her forward even as they backed up.
"I just want to give you a hug." She burbled again.

- JONATHAN KRAMER - The bleeding one, the one he could see through the contrast of white snow, the grunts and the yells, almost lionlike gave the distinct tone that he was familiar with, yet hadn't heard in some time. Nariko, terrorist for hire, under Ragno's command, the four horseman were here for him, if not for power. She had thrown a grenade, and he had to react quickly. "CLOSE THE GAP!" he yelled to those beside him, before he ran up to the grenade to throw it towards the side. "KEEP HOLDING THEM BA--" It exploded in mid-air, and the force was enough to slam him into the side of the bridge. He heard an audible crack, broken bone? Or was it just a piece of equipment. Regardless is was in blistering agony and on the floor.

- RAVEN -
The trio entered the scene with Lilly as the lead, her katana a sign of her lethality as the snow swept around them. Things had seemed to have changed in a matter of moments. One minute it seemed that the tear gas would hold the Vipers back and yet another, both sides had launched into a fray with the heavily armoured mercenaries now firing at their own men. Lilly had to focus on herself though as she felt the first signs of blood splash onto her, cutting into the chest of one of the Vipers that dared to chase her down. Another Viper held their gun up at Lilly, ready to shoot before a bullet lodged themselves in their neck, as Lilly watched them fall to the floor, blood staining their envy green clothes.Luke lowered his gun, he had been relying on his pistol for the majority of the battle so far as fire and blood sprayed the scene. He tried to be careful, wary of the soldiers that were now facing against The Broker. Things became a shit show faster he had ever anticipated as he found a Viper grabbing him at the throat and plowing him into the ground, his gun scattered amongst the floor. Luke was already feeling the pain soaring through his neck under the pressure of the bulky man that was strangling him. Luke reached for his dagger, stabbing the man in the leg as his cry of pain was the perfect distraction. As he kicked them off of himself, he found them grabbing at his leg once more, their other hand reaching for the dagger stuck in their leg. He watched their back burn as a ray of fire struck them at once. James, rushed over to Luke as he plunged his dagger out of the man and saw his gun back in his grip. Luke mouthed a thank you before James turned with him to hear the primal rage of one of the traitorous soldiers. A grenade, plunged itself over the wall of riot shields and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw The Broker actually reach for it. James felt himself brought down to the ground as he caught a glimpse of ice began to freeze over in front of him. The explosion was louder than he ever imagined, and he was surprised to see that they were out of range not to be hurt, though scrapes and cuts had already etched themselves as battle marks into their skin, through their clothing which began to feel the wear and tear of the scene. James watched Luke cause the ice to melt as the two exchanged nervous looks. Was The Broker dead? Could this mean the end of the battle? They had no time to determine as The Vipers continued their onslaught.

-Wild Card- Stood at the back on the other side of the outer gates with his guards around him when one turned to him "hey boss why arnt we getting on this?" Wild card turned to him "no not yet, there no point in charging unless we get provoked, and besides were in the fight most of my men are down there right now fighting" he said looking down at his men firing at the mice along side the vipers, looking around he was wondering where Lutte vic would be positioned

"You're a fucking basket case, aren't you?" Shade growled, feeling extremely disconcerted by the nightmarish figure chasing her. And I thought I was creepy... She had to fight back before both she and the entire bridge were melted by the streaming, bubbling gore. Altering her stance, her arms became blades. Yelling what she hoped was a threatening cry, she charged her foe, coming off as a last-ditch assault. It was a ruse, though, because at the last second, she hurled herself forwards and shrouded, passing right through both blood and woman. Coming out the other side, she kicked her legs into the psycho's back, trying to knock her off balance, before rolling back to her feet, ready to fight.
Reaver watched as the wall of shields went up, and frowned. "Alright guys, we need to get through that plastic barrier that ol' Brokey is cowering behind. Ferny, Joltz, hit it with everything you have. I'm going to change their priorities." With that, she sprinted forwards, past the shadow being and her fight, past the mercs (she greeted Nariko as she did), until she was closing fast on the barrier. Dodging several shots, she darted to the edge of the bridge... And hurled herself off in a perfect dive. Mid-fall, wind whipping her hair back, she raised her arm and fired the grapple. It embedded itself in the top of the bridge by the mice, and Reaver swung. Gracefully, she arced low before the momentum carried her back up, until, at the peak of her swing, she released the grapple and fell though the air. She hit the ground in a roll, and stood up, now behind the barrier. Raising her sword, she looked for the Broker. "Damn, I'm good!" She commented, readying herself for battle.

Sienna was only partially surprised that someone had walked through her. Her hallucinations were mainly auditory but there were some bad days she wasn't so sure about. The kick from behind was a surprise as she hit the concrete hard gashing up her elbows, leaving tiny pieces of tarmac embedded in her skin that sizzled away to nothing as the cuts began to weep.
She rolled over so she could face them but did not have enough time to stand upright as she lunged for one of their ankles. It was funny to think that most of her fights ended up with her using the same tactics as a child.
"Now I prefer the term crazy bitch. Its all about attitude. Basket case is too kind."

The Puppet Servant A pair of slanted eyes watched the struggle with disinterest from behind a pair of binoculars. “Can you see him?” “Not yet. Lorraine has just entered the battle with the rest of the Savages.” “…the Ravagers?” “You heard me.” “...right. Why did you call me here, Reggie?” A smaller figure in a chef’s uniform stood a couple of fair feet away from the butler in the dusty room, although the tone between them was friendly the cold nuance to their voices suggested they both had other things to do than hang around all day in an abandoned high rise building. “Five months since the last time we spoke, and you’re as impolite as ever.” “Hurry up, I’ve got cream pies that needs to be prepared for tonight.” Reginald sighed and removed the binoculars from his eyes, then threw them over his shoulder to the chef who caught them with ease. He was clearly used to the servant’s antics. “What do you know of a man going by the alias of ‘Crimson’?” “Hmm..” The chef rubbed a rough hand against the stubble on his chin, for a moment in deep thought, when his eyes lit up like a pair of matches. “Dangerous man, self-proclaimed vigilante. If he’s on your tail you’re in deep trouble… Why?” “It’s none of your concern,” Reginald frowned and watched the battle; still no signs of a clawed monster entering the field. “And I thought you’d like to see one of Chameleon’s apprentices try to get their hands on Felix before his sister does. Come over here and enjoy the show.”
- ? - In the midst of chaos a civilian dressed as a viper covered, ducked and dodged as he desperately tried to keep his head cool in the chaotic situation. There was no way he would be able to find Felix right away; the little bugger was probably disguised and fleeing from the bridge already.
- Felix - Felix opened the back of the van and saw to his disappointment nothing that could be of use to him. Sure, there were some explosives, but blowing people up right now was the last thing he wanted to. He quickly made his way over to the gate and peeked out before taking cover again. What on earth could a kid like him do, when bullets and shrapnel flew all over the place? He only hoped Ripley was alright.
~ Snowflake ~ Snowflake skidded forwards, the slushy red snow turning to the colour of strawberry ice cream under her feet as she concentrated on partly keeping up with Reaver. Then there was the uncanny American hero who threw a lamppost towards Nariko earlier- he had caught Snow’s attention, but going after him alone wouldn’t be smart even though it would be a big help to them if the man was put on ice. She took a couple of moments to consider, and chose the cowardly option of ducking down nearby a dead viper and firing a shot towards at the guy’s chest, just to see how tough he really was.

Shade instinctively jump backwards as Sienna lunged, an act of panic and revulsion more than a careful dodge. She stumbled on the landing, and had to extend her arm to the floor to keep upright. "Sounds about right..." She muttered, looking over the 'crazy bitch' with a feeling of primal disgust. Everything about her just seemed... Wrong.
Jason heard the shot, and reacted by moving the man he was grappling with in the way. He gasped as the shot punctured his lungs, and Jason grimaced as he watched the man die, face to face. He hated this. He was covered in blood, other people's blood. This wasn't how he had ever wanted it. But He had no choice. His family were at risk, and he had to fight for them. With a bellow, he hurled the corpse at the woman who shot at him. He recongnised her- she had been there when the Ravagers took him. Rage filled him, and he sprinted after the flying body, knocking anyone who stood between them to the ground.
Jason barreled past, smashing a Viper to the ground. Shade saw the man crumple to the ground, dropping his rife... That was a chance. She dove forward, stretching her arm out to grab the weapon. Grasping it, she pulled it back to her and span, firing wildly. She wasn't good with rifles, and she had no idea how close the bleeding woman was. It didn't matter- she just wantd her dead.

-Joltz- Joltz was commanded to tear down the wall of mice with their riot shield running over to a lamp post on the bride she drained the power out of it, turning back she ran over to Hot head and wrapped the sickle chains around her arms and fired a long stream along the wall to weaken it for Hot head to burn open, meanwhile one of her thoughts was looking up into the sky 'huh does it look like its gonna... you know thunder soon' the thought said as the other was also looking up to the sky'gasp I just had the greatest idea ... again, but laterrrr' the other thought said doing little jump of anticipation --------------------------------------------- -Lutte Vic- position across the street from the Citadel looking at it from the side on Lutte Vic was on a roof as an orangutan holding a sniper rifle, he wasnt aim for anyone it was just to see what was going on and also to keep his employer safe "lets see here, lighting girl and fire girl shooting wall, white girl skating around like she from some cartoon, large man possibly killing mercs with ease, two ladys fighting annnd maybe couple chatting behind boss" he commented as he scanned the bridge "i had a clear shot major target, he'll die soon" he continued as he looked over his shoulder at some files on the ground

CRIMSON | Thomas Drake Without hesitation Crimson pivoted around upon hearing the shuffling of feet on the floor behind him. Aiming his pistol directly at the figures head he cried, "Get back! Who are you?!"
THE QUEEN OF HEARTS | Alice Drake At long last Alice drew her twin blades, letting them sing as they expanded out, before throwing herself into a charge. Her eyes searched the battlefield, quickly happening upon her ally; Bloodstream down on the floor at the mercy of a shadowy figure. Alice furrowed her brow in determination and began to leap between the multiple Vipers and mercenaries in her path, finally reaching the shadow with a well placed jump kick to their upper back.

"I should have known, the twitchy hero, villain and mercenary thrown into one."
Kay laughed as they stood where they were hands held in front so that he could see what they were doing. Their purple eyes sparkled where they were sunk deep into their face. It was an older face a pale skinned woman with scraggly blonde hair fading to grey, their clothes loose and still slightly covered with bloody flecks.
"Shouldn't you be down there fighting with Acchilleus' troops."
--
Sienna closed her eyes as she watched the barrel of the gun round on her. It was a rifle at close range and she was prone on the ground from her failed attempt at grabbing the shadows leg. It sounded ridiculous enough that she laughed aloud and hysterically. A laughter that continued into a scream of pain as at least two bullets pierced her flesh deeply.
She didn't want to open her eyes. Didn't want to. So she crawled forward blindly and quickly towards where the figure had stood. Laughing all the way in pain, badly wounded but not quite dead yet.
