"since we found what we are looking for i suggest we bring more of our forces here, and preferably the ICT" charcoal says walking in the chamber. "hey dumbass" he calls to kosidius "help me bring him down" charcoal starts grabbing the chains and pulls them off the walls

Voltroke's upper body shakes slightly as he stifles his laughter.
Then turning back towards Blagas and smirking, he says, "I don't know that he isn't a pig. I have yet to see him change forms."

-------------------------------------------------------------
Kosidius chuckles at the guard's statement.
First turning towards Charcoal and giving him the finger, Kosidius then moves to help him bring the sarcophagus down from its resting place.

when the team reaches where the transport has landed the cultists become under fire from chimera forces that are coming down from the ships in orbit. one by one the giant machines the cultists used to level the forest blows up.

rain, zatarra, and gastrin partake in the carnage that their chimera brethren are creating.

"i got charcoal" rindhunt shouts to the team, charging at the guard with her large sword, striking with a one handed diagonal slash.

_______________________________________________________________________
as the final chains are pulled out of the walls the sarcophagus falls to the floor onto its back. charcoal pulls the chains off of it and pushes off the lid. inside the sarcophagus is a man trapped inside crystallized energon. the man is large, scaling to about 10 ft tall, dressed in a white, gold trim, battle worn combat dress. charcoal then proceeds to pound on the crystal energon with all his might, making very small cracks with each blow.

The silver guard easily parries Rindhunt's strike with his guantlet, and then he draws back and strikes back with his own sword. "I think you're mistaken," his voice synthesizer hums. "I am not that cowardly weakling!" He shoots a stream fire at the Chimera soldiers. "Kosidius, Charcoal we're under attack, get out here!" He yells loudly weighing the numbers disadvantage. "Recall the ICT to our position!" He calmy orders through a radio built into his helmet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Balgas hangs back and attempts to get behind the Silver Guard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You two go aid him!" Krobelus orders shoving Charcoal and Kosidius toward the exit. He approaches the Great One, and using his endronian power he drips a venom on the cracked energon crystal. The venom immediatly hisses as it burns into the energon like acid.

rindhunt ignights her sword and does a 360 turn, using the momentum for a powerful horizontal slash

charcoal runs out of the cave and notices the massacre, he transforms into his full transformation and charges at sive.

Sive quickly grabs her bow and arrows, rushing toward Charcoal and jumping and twisting in the air letting her arrows loose directly at his head then landing behind him. "Filthy bastard," She mumbles shooting another arrow in the back of his neck.

Voltroke sprints past Charcoal, punching him hard in the face and shattering the protruding arrow shafts. Never slowing his pace, he goes into his mid-transformation (covered in black scales, lengthened teeth and claws, piercing black and yellow eyes, spiked tale) and takes a low leap at the Silver Guard, aiming to hit his legs.

-

Kosidius ran out of the cage only slightly later than Charcoal, and as such was behind Sive when she landed behind Charcoal.
Grinning, he murmurs to himeself, "Perhaps I will yet have a better sample of your flesh." With that, he grabs Sive by the neck, digging his claws in and causing bleeding, lifts her into the air, and throws her straight down at the ground.

The Silver Guard parries Rindhunt's strike with a shield, and then he sprays her with water, generated from his fist. Then he kicks Rindhunt to the ground, but rather than finishing her like he would anyone else, he hesitates.
In this moment Balgas jumps on his back, while striking at him with Mantis claws.
~~~~~~~~~
Krobelus, slowly and carefully uses varying amounts of acid-venom melts through the energon until a small hole is burned through in the energon exposing the body inside to the outside.

(i was waiting to extend the battle before this happened, but whatever)

the inside of the enerjon lights on fire, engulfing the entire body inside. within a flash of a second the fire extinguishes and the body is gone. a flash of fire erupts behind krobelous. the figure that was trapped in the enerjon is now standing behind krobelous. "and you are?" the being asks in a deep threatening voice.
_______________________________________________________________________
the armor is too strong for balgas' attacks to break through.

rindhunt sets herself on fire for a split second to exaporate the water. she then kicks the guard in the stomach, causing him to bend over, rindhunt then grabs the guard's helmet and starts pulling on it.

charcoal dodges the final arrow and snips at voltroke. charcoal turns to face sive. when kosidius throws sive to the ground charcoal blasts a stream of fire at her from his mouth

gastrin runs up to charcoal grabs his head and starts bashing on it with his peacemaker.

at this time the ICT just appears over the horison. in a single shot of its powerful main cannon it wipes out an entire esction of the forest with the chimera soldiers hididng within it.

_________________________________________________________________
on the bridge of the chimera flagship chimerasaurus jumps out of his throne "unleash our new weapon."

The helmet comes off the guard's head, but as soon as he creates some distance between himself and Rindhunt, he grabs Balgas by his mantis arms, and heaves him at Rindhunt.
~~~~~~~~~
Krobelus falls to his knees, and bows his head. "I am your loyal servant, Kaiser Krobelus. I have led the true believers in a crusade to not only spread word of your greatness, but also to find you, so that you may take your rightful place in the universe." Krobelus whimpers to the Great One.

Sive quickly rolls to the side and stands, gritting her teeth in pain from the blow and burn. Quickly she moves to a defensive postion making sure Charcoal isnt behind her. Charging at Kodisius while drawing her sword and slashing it across his chest, then turning the sword and stabbing him in the back. "Don't count on it you piece of skum." She mutters, again going into a defensive position.

"my rightful place in this universe cannot be taken back, it was destroyed when they trapped me in this tomb. all i seek is for justice to be brought to those who've taken it from me, in order for them to come out of hiding we must force them out" pandora speaks to krobelous. he walks outside and studies the carnage.

rindhunt pushes balgas off of her and looks up at the guard "m-malak!?!" she stands "what are you doing?, i thought you were a dragon at heart, why are fighting for these psychopaths?"

charcoal reverts to his human form and elbows gastrin in the groin then throws gastrin off of himself and onto the ground. he kneels next to gastrin and shows gastrin his right wrist "i used to be a chimera just like you, dont think that i wont use your tactics"

gastrin punches charcoal in the groin with his peacemaker "don't think the same, vermin" gastrin then grabs charcoal by the throat and throws him into a tree

the earth shakes with a large thud a shock wave followed by a cloud of dust engulfs the battlefield. a large object has fallen from the chimera flagship, the chimera ICT. its twice the size of the original ICT with twice the guns and firepower. its first order of buisness, it fires its main cannon at the legs of the ICT, destroys two on the starboard side and causes it to fall to the ground.

"If I may make a suggestion my master," Krobelus says keeping a respectful distance from Pandora. "Perhaps taking that new ICT would be a good starting place."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malak gets a strange expression, and turns slightly. "Why am I?" He asks, abruptly a small electronic beep triggers a device visible on the back of his neck. A red light flashes and a yellow liquid flows out of the device through a tube running into his neck. Malak turns back toward Rindhunt, the expression on his face like that of a different person.
"Out of my way!" He yells blasting Rindhunt with scales from his shield. He picks up his helmet, and puts it back on. "Or next time I will kill you. Malak cuts through the carnage, reaching Pandora and Krobelus. "Master we need to regroup to protect the ICT before it gets trashed."

Kosidius laughs at Sive and wiping some on his hand, licks his own blood.
With blurring speed, he goes low and moves in under Sive's sword range. Grabbing her by the throat and lifting her in the air, he bites down hard on her sword-wielding hand.

-

Voltroke yells, "You scum f***! Two times a traitor, you'll get two times the beating!" as he swiftly moves in behind Malak, punches him hard in the kidneys, swipes his feet out from under him, and then begins mercilessly beating his head into the ground.

Sive screams dropping her sword her hands moving to her throat struggling to pry his hand off. Finally managing to swing backwards and kick him in the stomache, grabbing two of his fingers at the same time and breaking them. Droping to the ground and forcing her legs to stand, she takes a few clumbsy steps back, blinking to regain her vision.
