The Cast (So far)
Cast:
Hybird: Former future leader of the Kaze-Kage Clan. Joined forces with the others after Lord Frost attacked and slaughtered almost his whole clan. Hybird isn't much of a talker, and only voices his opinion when he is absolutely sure of something. Though, as of late, he has been talking more, and hasn't acted as... depressed... as he usually does. The main problem with Hybird at the moment is that he is still recovering, so many think he isn't much of use.)
Class: Wind Paladin (highly skilled Assassin, and fairly skilled Mage combined)
Magic: Wind, Psychic powers, almost perfected Kitsunetsuki.
Weapons: Kusari-Gama, 3 Battle-Hawks (metal ninja boomerangs) 1 small [jinsoku,] 1 medium [taka,] 1 large [kagerou.] Hybird can use various types of swords, but usually doesn't.
Twilight Rose: Second is command of the Lunar Clan, as well as the future leader. Earned the title of Twilight at the unprecedented of of 9. She, as well as Ryuu, convinced other clans and kingdoms to join the fight against the n00bs. Twilight is also the reason why Hybird and the remainder of his clan aren't rotting corpses by now. Everybody tends to call her twilight, except for Psicosis, which for some reason, annoys her.
Class: Twilight
Magic: Fire, Ice, AoS (Art of Suggestion)
Weapons: Whip, and a set of Neko-te (one lined with deadly poison [neko-te,] other lined with paralyzing poison [whip]) Also has skills in using English swords.
Ryuu: An Shadow Elf outcast. Ryuu was the first to discover the n00bs' evil plot, at the cost of the ability to use some of his race's most power spells and summons. Ryuu, with the help of Twilight, convinced others to join the fight. Has been long time friends with Twilight, Psicosis and [X]. Doesn't get along with Hybird (Ryuu blames Hybird's stubborn attitude as the reason for the Kaze-Kage near genocide. The only reason he let Hybird join forces was because he and Twilight were friends.)
Class: Master Mage
Magic: Earth, wind, fire, forest, darkness, and metal.
Weapons: Samurai sword, Kunai (along with a boe just in case a spear is needed)
Psicosis: Even for Twilight, Ryuu, and [X], Psicosis is somebody wrapped up in a large enigma. Not much is know about his past, nor his intentions for joining the fight (though, many guess it's because he want to further pick on Twilight, or because has been friends with X Ryuu and Twilight for a number of years.) Psicosis once said his first words were "bite me," which would explain his sarcastic nature. Psicosis is highly skilled in many forms of weaponry offence and defence, including the rare skill in using gunz, a weapon that very few use this day and age.
Class: Unknown
Magic: Aurora Burst (able to enhance weapons with psychokinetic force)
Weapon: Bokken, Gunz.
[Xander]: Xander, (or X for short) is another person wrapped in mystery, he often keeps to himself, unless it involves Ryuu, Psicosis, and/or Twilight.
Class: Shadow Master
Magic: Shadow Manipulation, Beast summoner.
Two Kamas, one semi long chain (to attach the Kamas together and use as a bladed Nunchaku) one set of Nunchaku.
Enemies:
Frosty Goat: Leader of the evil n00bs clan. Often changes his name and looks to "trick" his enemies. Often uses "annoy Tech" to set Hybird off of his guard. Everybody who he leads calls him Lord Frost.
Weapons: Magic, Gizarm.
IL & Litra: Leaders of the LC Clan both use broken language to aggravate their enemies, a** well as keep them out of the loop of the LC Clan's tactics if they are caught.
Weapons: Both are skilled in bow and arrows.
Hypper and Kiki: Leaders of the Chaingain Clan. The twins are extremely loose when it comes to knowledge, and their fighting skills aren't much better, problem is, the Chaingain Clan mastered Ultima Jutsu, the art of near invincibility, which makes the two, and the rest of the clan EXTREAMLY dangerous. Not to mention they can also use Ultima Jutsu to aide their allies.
Weapons: Rapier (Hypper) Bow blade shoes (Kiki)
Zanner: Not much is know about him, but everybody in the n00b clan, including Frost and the branches of the n00b clan, fears him. What does this man have to do with this war?
Chapter One: Poisonous Games
The tree's shadows proved very helpful for a small group of knights. Already, they lost five good men, and only three remain. What made their situation even worse was that the fact that one of them was severely poisoned, and was loosing strength, fast.
One knight carefully poked his head out from the tree he was hiding behind, to see if anybody was following them. He slowly waved his functioning hand to his fellow knights, signaling them it was clear to move further. The other healthy knight slowly lifted his poisoned friend over his shoulder, and nodded to his fellow knight before running forward. The other knight followed close behind him, making sure nobody was going to attack them from behind. The Knight carrying his poisoned friend, leaped over a fallen tree and sat down, before carefully setting his friend to his side. The other Knight jumped over the tree and sat by the poisoned solider.
"We should. Rest here. For. The moment."
The Knight to the left of the poisoned soldier nodded. "Right..."
One of the soldiers heard something moving in the grass nearby. As he slowly stood to his feet, something leaped out of the grass and bit into his neck, knocking him to the ground before leaping off and disappearing into the grass. "s**t!" The other soldier snapped to his feet and picked both soldiers, before trying to move forward. But whatever the creature was shifted in the grass, and leaped at the remaining soldier before he could move even two feet forward.
***
Ryuu stood over the three dead soldiers. He gave a sad sigh as three men lifted the dead soldiers and carried them off to be examined. Even though he had a sensitive, and powerful sense of hearing, he barely heard what the soldier beside him was saying, he was far too lost in thought.
"... It's as if the poison trans-mutated their blood into slime's blood."
Ryuu snapped back into reality and looked at the soldier. "Slime's blood? How is that possible? For that, you have to master a rare form of alchemy."
"We're trying to figure that out sir."
Ryuu rubbed the space in between his eyes, and sighed. "Inform Lady Twilight, and all stealth soldiers, for the time being, we should avoid night missions."
"Yes sir" The knight turned and quickly walked towards the base. Ryuu turned around to watch the soldiers be carried off. Instead, he saw the three men, standing still as Hybird examined the soldiers himself. Ryuu, who was strongly against Hybird even joining forces, stormed over to the ninja, and at the loudest he his voice could carry, shouted at Hybird. "And just what, may I ask, in hell do you think you're doing?!"
Hybird didn't so much as even glance at Ryuu, he just went on with his business. "Examining the victims..."
Hybird's monotone voice made Ryuu twitch. He couldn't stand how arrogant Hybird was. It made him want to beat the living daylights out of him. The only reason he didn't was because Twilight would be mad at him, and Twilight being angry was a hazard to everybody within a mile's health. Ryuu, unable to take his anger out on Hybird, snapped around and glared at the three soldiers. "I told you to take them directly to the examination building, why did you stop!?"
All three soldiers twitched in fear, looking directly inti the shadow elf's cold eyes. The soldier in the middle nudge the one to his right, who hesitated before replying. "S-sir Hybird asked us to set him down, we told him you ordered us to carry them to the Examination Room, but he ordered us to set him down so he could check them!"
Ryuu grumbled under his breath before lifting his arm, and muttered "pick them up, and go," as he pointed his finger to the fallen soldiers. Hybird stood up and sighed as the three lifted the dead soldiers, and headed towards the Examination Room.
"Well?"
Hybird didn't even look at Ryuu when he was spoken to. "Well what."
Ryuu tightened his fist. "DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING."
This time, Hybird lifted his head, and gave Ryuu a monotone look. "No need to yell Ryuu-San. It's looks like somebody used an spell to switch their blood to Slime's blood.
"I already know that. Tell me something I don't know!"
"Did you know that Slime's Blood can be used as medicine?"
"Medicine?"
Hybird started walking, as he passed Ryuu, the Shadow Elf took the hint, turned, and began to relunctedly follow him. "Yes, if a small amount is introduced to a person's blood stream, it could cure a large set of things. From broken bones, to the black plague."
"Too bad it can't cure arrogance."
Hybird completely ignored Ryuu's remark. "Problem is, if you put too much into somebodies blood stream, it slows you down. In all aspects. Blood flow, heart beats per minute, nerve systems, yada yada yada. In other words i-"
"It could put you into a comatose state..."
Hybird stopped and turned towards Ryuu, looking at him dead in the eye for the first time since his village was destroyed. "Exactly, if given more than that, it can kill the person." Hybird looked towards the examination room, his facial expression not changing one bit. "Lucky for those three, I was able to examine them before they were chopped open. I'm guessing those Hurricane clan chumps did this."
"Helm followers?"
"Yeah... They have pretty good knowledge on slimes, as well as creatures that are related to slimes."
Ryuu stood there, taking in what Hybird had said seriously, which was rare. As Hybird turned around and began to head for his sleeping quarters, Ryuu's eyes lit up, as if something frightening crossed his mind. "But... How could n00b Helm followers would know such a thing?!"
Hybird stopped. Ryuu could tell Hybird sighed as the ninja's back shifted up, then back down. Hybird turned and looked at Ryuu. "Because the Hurricane Clan is a distant branch of the Kaze Clan... And the Helm followers... Is the n00b branch of the Hurricane clan..." Hybird turned again, and headed for his room. Leaving the wide eyed Shadow Elf standing on the hill.
