Golden Age: Revival

N"Wait! That's it! Guys--hear me out, here--what if that maniac with the gun is a vampire?"

R"I fought a vampire once."
=========================================
<Oh man, you people are so slow. I don't work for Thiera, she works for us. Well, she did, anyway. Orders are to take her alive. Pity you kids aren't so lucky.>

*He turns invisible again & a second later, the spear is wrenched from the snake monster.*

Allina: <Who's Schwarz?>

=====

*He walks off towards Thiera's house/office.*

"I was kidding, but okay. At this point I don't have the right to be closed-minded."

=====================================================

[It's not dead, just sleeping.]

"This is getting beyond out of hand" Lune says as he swing his arm causing cutting wind to circle around the group like a shield.

Isaac is already engaging the warp spasm.

---

"If he is then we're fucked" Ren comments.

N"Not necessarily. We can use a stake--"

R"Doesn't work."

N"What?"

R"It just pins them down, it doesn't actually kill them."

N"Okay...well then garlic."

R"Nope."

N"Holy water."

R"Uh-uh."

N"Silver?"

R"What are you trying to do, make him look pretty?"

N"Oh, what, next you're going to tell me he sparkles in the sunlight?!"

R"Nah, he just loses most of his powers."

N"Dawn is hours away! Doesn't he have ANY weaknesses?"

R"I never actually tried the 'make him count a fuckton of small objects' thing."
=============================================
E"Must be that guy with the guGH!"

*Euryale is promptly stabbed in the leg. A long, thin spear is withdrawn, & blood begins being wiped off of it. Euryale drops to the ground.*
==============================================
*When he gets there, the glass doors slide open & people in the lobby stare at him.*

"Have you tried fire or decapitation?"

=====================================================

Taiyo:<Euryale!>

*Taiyo runs to Euryale's side*

Lune launches a wind blade in the direction where Euryale was attacked from.

---

"Not cool."

*Allina dashes forward and kicks towards the spear.*

=====

*He awkwardly starts looking for a place to sleep.*

*Euryale lurches, managing to grab the spear before falling down again.*

"Someone get his hat!"
==========================================
R"If you can damage the brain or heart enough, yeah, they'll die. But they regenerate REALLY fast."

*Nero drops to his knees after Stheno aims a kick at his crotch.*

N"Ugh! Maybe we should feed this kid those bricks now?"
===========================================
*Bzzt!*

Thiera{Ari. Use the elevator. I'll wire it to head for the top floor.}

"Since you seem to have a bond with the kid, you hold her."

=====================================================

*Azuma runs towards where the spear is coming from and reaches for where the man's head may be.*

Isaac does the same as Azuma only he aims with his fist.

Allina: <Euryale, are you okay?>

=====

Ari: <...O-Okay!>

*He walks into the elevator.*

*That was actually his chest, since he was flying, but after that punch he's hurled back & his helmet flies off anyway. Euryale drops the spear, gasping in pain.*

"I think he broke a bone!"
============================================
*The elevator lets him off in her office. She's sitting behind a desk, wearing reading glasses & looking over paperwork.*

<So. How was your walk?>
=============================================
N"In that case, you have to feed her!"

*He glares at her triumphantly.*

Isaac bum rushes him with Lune in tow riding the wind. Isaac delivers another punch at the empty air causing wind shear which Lune takes control off and directs at the armored man.

---

Ren is practicing his abilities.

*She kneels down by Euryale and gently touches the wound.*

Allina: <Ouch, it looks painful.>

=====

Ari: <...(I hate a crab and scared a waitress.)>

"Why not Roatha? He's got experience being fed brick oatmeal. If anyone's more qualified to force it down a little girls throat, it's him."

=====================================================

Taiyo:<A... A... Azuma! Give me your sweater!>

"Azuma had begun running to grab the helmet, but stops abruptly*

"Millionaire, grab the helmet!"

*Azuma runs over to Taiyo and Euryale, removing his sweater and handing it to Taiyo who presses it on Euryale's leg attempting to stop the bleeding.*

Isaac spins on his heels and grabs the helmet before the armored man can retrieve it.

R"I was shot in the arm. Someone needs to force her mouth open, 'cause I guarantee she isn't going to open wide & say, 'Ahhh!'"
===========================================
E"Forget me! That guy's in league with the guy who took Stheno! We have to beat him at any cost!"

???<I could care less about that thing. As I said, I came here for my lance. Return it to me, little girl!>

*The wind hits him dead in the chest, but doesn't do anything. He mutters some words & is enveloped by a white glow. Grabbing his spear & shield, the wings on his shoes fold again & he takes up a defensive stance on the ground.*
=============================================
"I see...scared her how?"

"Dumbass can pry her mouth open, and I'll shovel that goop in her mouth."

=====================================================

"I don't think she's gonna like that. Bite your lip, this might hurt a bit."

*Azuma wraps the sweater around Euryale's leg and ties the sleeves in a knot. Taiyo takes the lance and turns it so the point is facing the armored guy, and charges.*

Lune launches another wave of wind at him while Isaac falls back.

---

Ren does as Mimiru says.

*The spear stabs through his shield, but he forces it to one side before it can cut him.*

<As expected of my lance, that can pierce the divine itself, but you're no lancer!>

*He stabs the spear towards her chest.*

"Taiyo!"
================================
*Stheno starts thrashing around & screaming.*

*Mimiru takes a spoonful of goop and sticks it in her mouth*

[She's going to be much more annoying when she can speak normally, isn't she?]

=====================================================

*Azuma runs towards the armored guy, a sheet of ice appearing under his feet that extends straight ahead.*

"What?"

*At the end of the path a wall sprouts up deflecting the spear. Attempting to stop, Azuma falls on his ass.*

[I bet I was a shitty knight in a past life.]

Isaac runs and grabs the spear from Taiyo, "She isn't, but I am!" he spins the spear deftly and lashes out at Longinus. "I'll teach you how to fight later Taiyo, for now, I'm just borrowing the Lance of Longinus!"

Lune blinks, "Did he just man up?"

---

Ren holds her.

*Taiyo doesn't give up the lance.*

Taiyo:<No! He hurt Euryale, so I'm going to hurt him!>

*Taiyo jabs at the armored man, water running a long the point, forming a sphere at the end that seperates into multiple tendrils that lash at multiple points of his body.*

<What?!>

*This forces him to abandon both the shield & his attempts to stab Taiyo.*

<I've been too careless. What will the others say if I lose any more artifacts to a bunch of kids? Well, there's no way that's going to happen!>

*He slashes right through the shield, still stuck on the lance, with his spear, causing an impact crater in the ground. The glow around him gets even brighter as he produces the gladius in his other hand.*

<Even with only normal weapons, you're still no match for the omnipotent Saint Longinus!>
=================================================
<Who are you!? What are you doing to me?! I want my MOMMY!>

N"Huh. We got it one. And keep it down, do you want that nutcase with the gun to find us?!"

R"We're sorry for--ahh--terrorizing you, but we're friends of Euryale's. We didn't know where to find you, so we split into 2 groups.>
