Nightfall:The Dangers of Skating At Night

Friday, June 9th 6:25 p.m.
Downtown L.A. Ricky and Lucas's Studio Apartment

[12:32:05 PM] Omniance: Odie: He walks through the front door with hunter, it was unlocked since they were expecting him. It's me!

Lucas: He's making a pot of coffee and smoking a cigarette. He doesn't usually smoke in the apartment, but the last two days have been an exception. He calls out as he hears Odie. Hey! He walks over to the fridge to see what he can make for dinner.

[12:38:55 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He's sitting at the couch watching the television, though it looks like there's just commercials playing right now. He's still wearing the green and black clothing he got from Agatha. He smiles when he sees Odie and Hunter. Hey guys.

Hunter: He follows Odie inside with his hands in his pockets, the dark shade under his eyes make him look really tired. Without saying anything he sits down at the couch.
[12:40:37 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He turns around and looks at Odie. We have some hamburger meat left over. You guys want burgers? He shrugs, walking out of the kitchen a little and looking over at Ricky with the wrapped up beef in his hand. Guess Hunter will want his raw.

Odie: What the hell are you two wearing? He looks back and forth at them. Where did you get those clothes?

[12:45:44 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks down at his shirt before looking over at Odie. It's weird, right? I think it's for some foreign sports team.

Hunter: Lucas seems to snap him out of his drained state. Meeaat...? He turns around and sees the wrapped uncooked beef. Lucas, you're a god among men.

[12:47:39 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He smiles a little and walks over to the counter, pulling out a cutting board. We got them from the new Prince. Princess? He shrugs. Can you believe we had to change clothes twice today? Both times they got burned off... Partially.

Odie: So a guy named Chris gave you those?

Lucas: Some old lady gave them to us.

Odie: He looks at Ricky. What the hell happened to you guys?

[12:49:26 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He stands up from the couch and walks over to the two of them. We fought a tiny demon with the new Prince.

[12:50:33 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...That's it? Was the new "Prince" that creepy woman with the blonde hair? That's who you guys are talking about right? He's weirded out by their cloths.

[12:53:19 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Yeah, I guess we could call her the Princess? He shrugs a bit. After we won the fight with her help the demon answered one question from each of us. He looks at Lucas. Vera asked what the Hat Man's real name is.

[12:56:00 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...And?

Lucas: And he told us... Told us about Stacy Lee, you said you found her right? He sets out a plate of the raw ground beef on the kitchen table for hunter.

Odie: He nods. Yeah, she was Yuri's girlfriend I guess... She said something about umm... Never mind, basically we have to get Yuri out of the sun, for an extended period. That's how the Hat Man takes control, and we have to keep him out of the sun for a while. Probably a full twenty-four hours or more.
[1:01:52 PM] Arbi: Hunter: He walks over and tries out one of the pieces of meat while they're all talking. He licks his lips after and takes the plate with him back to the couch, there's some show about Werewolves on TV.

Ricky: Stacy Lee was his girlfriend? But she was... one of the victims.
[1:05:21 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He looks away from Odie, focusing on making the burgers.

Odie: Well she's the only one still alive. He looks at Ricky. Maybe Yuri just held the Hat Man's influence back. Fred's still alive too, he saved her and another girl, remember? Those are all good signs. Right?

Lucas: He grabs some barbeque sauce and cheese from the fridge, he continues to not say anything as he silently prepares the food.

[1:11:32 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Yeah, well... he attacked us again on the way back here. He used those chains to stop the car at an overpass. The Prince and Maria were there with him, we had to split up to get away...

[1:12:12 PM] Omniance: Odie: He sighs. Damn... So did you guys actually manage to kill the two of them?

[1:13:25 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Just before the Prince was gonna sic his infernal wyrms on me I told him the demon's name. It snapped him out of Yuri's control... but then someone else showed up.

[1:14:44 PM] Omniance: Lucas: He throws the burgers into the pan and the sizzle loudly. It almost seems like he's trying to ignore the conversation.

Odie: Yeah, who? He looks over at Lucas.

[1:15:55 PM | Edited 1:21:16 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He notices Lucas starting to become irritated and walks up close to Odie to whisper something. I'll tell you outside... He walks past him and steps out the front door of the studio apartment.

[1:21:08 PM] Omniance: Odie: He follows Ricky outside after a moment. ...What's up with Lucas? He stretches a little, it's still warm out despite the setting sun.

[1:22:22 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He walks up to the stone railing, resting his arms there. After a moment he sighs. It's really complicated...

[1:23:16 PM] Omniance: Odie: He looks out at the street. Yeah I guess Yuri being... Possessed is probably wearing him down... He leans on the railing next to him.

[1:25:13 PM | Edited 1:25:42 PM] Arbi: Ricky: It's not just Yuri... He pauses for a moment. After the Prince got his free will back some guy with blue hair showed up. A warlock, just like the Prince. He even summoned a blue infernal wyrm.

[1:26:10 PM] Omniance: Odie: He lets out a long sigh of annoyance and rolls his eyes. Nemo. I fucking hate that guy.

[1:26:31 PM | Edited 1:28:52 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks at Odie, surprised. You know him?

[1:32:31 PM] Omniance: Odie: First heard of his exploits a few years back, he's big fucking trouble. Knows all kinds of weird things about everyone. He worked for the Druaght, who if you remember was the guy that sent those horrible zombie things after us and the twins a few times, then after that he started working with Natalya, the new Prince. The few times I met or saw him he'd always be wearing this stupid bandana... But man I really didn't like him. Everything he did was so shady, he even helped me and Murdoc solve this case once, but the whole time it felt more like he was manipulating us, rather than helping us, you know? That guy... I dunno... Creeps me out...

[1:33:38 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He just comes out and says it. ...He's Lucas.

[1:34:42 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...What? What do you mean? He looks back at the apartment door. Lucas was the one doing all that?

[1:38:01 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He sighs and shakes his head. It's not Vera. It's... Lucas. I don't know how or why but he's from another universe or dimension. I really don't know but, it's him... but everything's different in his world. The biggest differences being that the possessed you killed Yuri and then the Prince killed... you.

[1:39:05 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...Umm... So what you're telling me is that he's from like, a parallel world? He's like... Evil Lucas?

[1:42:05 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Yeah... He watches a few cars drives by. Evil Lucas.

[1:42:53 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...That's really cool. He nods slowly. ...Wait I died in the parallel universe?

[1:44:54 PM] Arbi: Ricky: I don't know what happened but instead of just Yuri coming to fight the possessed you, it was both of them... and they had different powers. Yuri had blue fire and Lucas had spectral hands. He looks at him.

[1:46:35 PM] Omniance: Odie: He sighs and leans back, holding onto the brick wall as he stares up at the sky. ...That sucks, I'd totally want to have an evil twin from another universe...

[1:49:35 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He can't help but to laugh slightly. It's not a joke, Odie. He looks back down. This guy wants to steal Vera's soul...

[1:53:43 PM] Omniance: Odie: He looks over at Ricky. ...Right... Right... Sorry... He thinks for a moment and pulls himself forwards, leaning on the wall again. ...Man... You know, I don't want to... Downplay the seriousness of the situation, but when I stayed behind and worked for Murdoc for two more years without you, we ran into all kinds of crazy stuff. Snake people, cultists, necromancers, zombies, wraiths, a mysterious kung-fu monk, skinwalkers.... But that's no where near as cool as finding out Lucas has an evil twin from another universe. He shakes his head. The situation is the worse, I get that but... Being around you guys is the best... You know? He smirks and looks at Ricky.

[1:55:17 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He just look at him for a moment before he grabs Odie's arm and pulls him into a tight hug. I missed you man...

[1:57:02 PM] Omniance: Odie: Awkward gay-friend hug. He pats Ricky on the back lightly. Don't get those very often anymore... But try not to squeeze me too hard my ribs are still broken...

[2:00:55 PM | Edited 2:02:01 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He lets go of him and goes back to the stone railing. Yeah... Yuri used to say the same thing too but it's just a hug. It's not like I'm squeezing your butt...

[2:03:06 PM] Omniance: Odie: Lucas can never know our secret... He looks forward. ...We're gonna save Yuri... Then we're gonna kill Nemo... Or... You know, kill Nemo, then save Yuri... Maybe we'll be able to save Yuri, while we're killing Nemo... He smirks. At the same damn time.

[2:11:34 PM] Arbi: Ricky: I wish it was that easy, I really do. He sighs. Vera isn't feeling it, I'm not sure if he's up for fighting either of them... Maybe if we get something done he'll feel better.

[2:12:14 PM] Omniance: Odie: He shrugs. Like what? He looks over at Ricky.

[2:14:29 PM | Edited 2:15:37 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Like getting Yuri out of the sun. He looks back at him. I think talking to his brother will cheer him up more than anything right now...

[2:17:02 PM] Omniance: Odie: He smiles. That's what I was thinking of too. He looks back to the road. But how do we find Yuri? ...The only lead I still have is Stacy Lee. He shrugs.

[2:18:08 PM] Arbi: Ricky: You said she used to be his girlfriend, right? Maybe she'll know where to find him...

[2:18:56 PM] Omniance: Odie: You know a detective would've probably asked her that question... We could pay her a visit, or talk to her over the phone. He pulls out his cellphone.

[2:19:51 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Go for it... but I'm heading back inside before Vera figures out we're secretly dating. He smirks.

[2:21:14 PM] Omniance: Odie: Ah, mi amore que esta rompiendo me Corazon! He puts the back of his hand to his forehead.

[2:23:53 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He shakes his head and smiles as he heads back inside, closing the door behind him.

[2:24:38 PM] Omniance: Odie: He holds up his phone and then pulls out his notepad with Stacy Lee's number on it, he dials it up and waits for an answer.

[2:27:54 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She opens her eyes and looks towards her lit up cellphone in the darkness of her bedroom. She reaches over to pick it up, answering. ...Hello?

[2:29:04 PM] Omniance: Odie: Ms. Lee? It's Officer O'dwyer, Odie, I was-

[2:35:06 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She cuts him off before he even finishes asking his question. Odie?... She looks towards her digital clock, seeing what time it is. It's not even the next day... She sits up, she's just wearing a shirt and underwear. After a moment her eyes widen a little. Did you find Yuri?

[2:36:18 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...No... Sorry, umm... What I was trying to ask if you'd know how to find him. I'm trying to get on this as soon as possible, you know? For all our sakes, especially his... We just don't know where to start looking.

[2:45:03 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: She's quiet for a long moment, when she speaks she sounds a little sad. Glendale Verdugo Skatepark... we spent a lot of nights there. It's the only place I can think of right now...

[2:48:52 PM] Omniance: Odie: What about that big haunted house, the Fabian Mansion? You think that'd be a place he might go?

[2:51:02 PM | Edited 2:52:39 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: Her sadness quickly fades away and is replaced by a serious tone. No... that's the last place you'll find him. I don't know why but after we made the pact he never wanted to go back there. It's almost like he's afraid of the place now...

[2:54:20 PM] Omniance: Odie: He thinks for a moment. ...Alright, thanks Stacy. If anything happens I'll be sure to call you.

[2:56:05 PM] Arbi: Stacy Lee: Try not to get yourself killed... Later, Odie.

[2:57:58 PM | Edited 3:03:43 PM] Omniance: Odie: For sure. He hangs up and walks inside, smelling the burgers.

Lucas: He sets the plates down as Odie walks in. Just in time.

Odie: He sits down at the table as Lucas does. So are you cook in this couple now? Does that make you the... Lady? He raises his eye brow at Lucas as he picks up his burger.

Lucas: He immediately throws a fork at Odie, and it bounces off his forehead.

Odie: Hey-hey! He recoils and shields himself. No need to get violent!

Friday, June 9th 11:55 p.m.
Downtown L.A. Studio Apartment Parking Lot

[3:09:38 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He walks across the parking lot to the other side of the apartment building, quickly making his way to the Black Pontiac Firebird before opening the passenger door and getting inside.

[3:15:32 PM] Omniance: Odie: He reaches over and opens the passenger door as Ricky walks up to his black car he looks out. Get in loser. We're going skating. He looks over to Ricky as he gets in and he starts up the car. It figures that even possessed, Yuri would hang around a skate park. He backs the car out and then drives off towards the main street. Maaaan I've had a crazy long day. There's a box of donuts and two coffees in the cupholders.

[3:17:27 PM] Arbi: Ricky: I feel like my day should've ended the moment I saw the Prince get run over by an invisible car... He grabs one of the coffees and takes a sip.

[3:19:45 PM] Omniance: Odie: Yeesh... He shakes his head. I always kinda liked the Prince... Since he helped un-possess me, I guess. He speeds up a little, since he's practically a cop he could get away with speeding, especially since there's no one out at this hour. Definitely don't like the new one... Did I tell you I got whipped into a coma by hellfire? I think I might've left that out when you guys showed up after the twin's grandma's funeral... He looks over at Ricky, then back ahead. That was real fun.

[3:25:57 PM | Edited 3:26:28 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks a little surprised but he doesn't ask him any questions about it. He opens his window a little before he looks back at him. What are we gonna do when we find Yuri?

[3:28:29 PM] Omniance: Odie: There's a box behind me that I got after my run in with the girl that broke my ribs. It's full of those prison cuffs, the kind that go around ankles and wrists and are all chained together. Got about five sets in there, along with some other goodies... Tasers, mace, you know. Cop stuff. He smirks a little.

[3:29:50 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Good... we can't hold back when it comes to demon possessions. He takes another sip of his coffee while he watches he road ahead. I had to knock Vera out earlier today when Nemo turned him into a dragon.

[3:32:10 PM] Omniance: Odie: ...Lucas turned into a dragon? Seriously? Did he throw his arms up and go- "Now shall you deal with me oh Ricky, AND ALL THE POWERS OF HELL!" and just turn into a giant purple dragon?

[3:33:01 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He turns to look at him. Not an actual dragon... more like a dragon boy.

[3:33:51 PM] Omniance: Odie: Dragon... Boy... He shrugs a little. That's weird. Did he have adorable little horns and a tail? He smiles as he drives down the freeway.

[3:36:07 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He had dragon claws and a long barbed tail... He readjusts himself in his chair, moving his leg a bit since it's still injured. He smiles anyways But yeah, he looked adorable.

[3:39:08 PM] Omniance: Odie: Ridiculous. He pulls off the freeway. ...Alright. He looks around. I drove up here before I came to pick you up to find where this place was... He turns right down a main road. It was right up here somewhere... Pretty cool place too... Wish we had skateparks like this where we grew up... He looks around and slows down a little. There it is... He pulls into a parking lot nearby and parks the car. Let's gear up.

[3:41:20 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He steps out of the car takes a quick look around before he opens the backdoor to check out the box of stuff Odie brought with him.

[3:44:59 PM] Arbi: Hunter: He's grabs Ricky's arm as he reaches in to grab something in the box. I caught you! Red handed!

Ricky: What the fuck? He actually looks a little startled. ...Hunter?

[3:45:26 PM] Omniance: Odie: He looks down into the car. How the hell did you even fit in there?

[3:48:36 PM] Arbi: Hunter: He sits up as he looks at Odie. You told me you were going to the store. What were you two planning on doing tonight, huh? He reaches into the box and takes out the heavy cuffs. What kind of sick shit are you two into?

[3:50:29 PM | Edited 3:51:27 PM] Omniance: Odie: Jesus, Hunter, can't two grown men cuff each other to the bedframe in the middle of the night in peace? He reaches into the car and grabs the cuffs, pulling them from Hunter. You're supposed to be in the motel room!

[3:52:58 PM] Arbi: Hunter: Yeah and you were supposed to be at Walmart. He hops out of the car and looks around. Where are we anyways?

[3:53:50 PM] Omniance: Odie: We're looking for Yuri... He shakes his head. I didn't want you to come with us because of what happened last time... With your incident...

[3:54:55 PM] Arbi: Hunter: He freezes up.

Ricky: Incident? He looks at Odie and then at Hunter.

Hunter: He turns and looks at Odie, he's obviously mad now.

[3:55:40 PM] Omniance: Odie: Well are you going to help us or stay in the car? He crosses his arms over his chest and looks at Hunter sternly.

[3:56:31 PM | Edited 4:04:03 PM] Arbi: Hunter: You're an ass... He steps back into the car, sitting in the front where Ricky was before.

[3:58:38 PM] Omniance: Odie: He shakes his head. Sorry... He looks at Ricky. I just don't want you getting hurt.

[4:03:11 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Listen to your brother, you'll be safer in here, kid... He closes the passenger door and takes the box out of the backseat before moving it to the trunk of the car. What are you taking with you? He looks back at Odie.

[4:04:26 PM] Omniance: Odie: He pops the trunk, inside there's a few guns and boxes of ammo. You know how to shoot a gun? He grabs a shotgun and a box of rubber bullets.

[4:05:51 PM | Edited 4:07:38 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks at the shotgun and then at Odie. Yeah... but something that loud might draw attention.

[4:09:29 PM] Omniance: Odie: Shotgun is "just in case". He loads it up and then puts it to the side. He pulls out a holster that goes around his chest. ...When I was in that abandoned building the chains reacted when exposed to light, kinda like how Yuri's did back in the day. They tightened and then broke, so- He pulls out a large flood light, it looks brand-new. -I bought this. It's heavy as hell, but I think you'll be able to carry it without much trouble. He holds it out to Ricky. Good for hitting things with too I bet... I think we'll have to mainly stick to our demonic powers though.

[4:13:07 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He takes the large flood light with his right arm, it doesn't feel heavy to him at all. I'll hold onto the cuffs too... He takes them with his free hand and puts them in his pocket. You can grab the taser. He turns around and looks towards the skatepark in the distance.

[4:15:58 PM] Omniance: Odie: He finishes putting on his holster and puts the taser on it, then puts the shotgun on his back in a large holster, along with a revolver on the side opposite of the taser. He then pulls out a few pills from his pocket and takes one of them. Seems like all I do since I've moved here is go out at night and deal with supernatural stuff. He puts the pills back in his pocket.

[4:16:32 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He notices him taking one of the pills. What are those for?

[4:17:10 PM] Omniance: Odie: Motion sickness. He pulls them back out. Want one? He smirks.

[4:22:09 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks down at the pills in his hand before reaching down and taking one. He closes his eyes and swallows it before looking back at him. You ready?

[4:22:57 PM] Omniance: Odie: Yeah. He closes the trunk and walks around the car. He knocks on the window. You see anything you yell out, alright Hunter?

[4:24:01 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He starts walking towards the skate park, luckily it's surrounded by trees so they have a little bit of cover before getting too close.

[4:26:12 PM] Omniance: Odie: He shakes his head when Hunter doesn't respond and quickly catches up to Ricky. As they near the skatepark itself he hides behind one of the trees, looking thought the fence into the park, he pulls out a pair of small binoculars to get a better look.

[4:33:01 PM] Arbi: The skate park looks huge and has several tall lamps shining down on different parts of the park. Odie quickly catches someone ride by on their skateboard. When he focuses the binoculars on him he sees it's Yuri. He doesn't look like he realizes they're here.

[4:34:21 PM] Omniance: Odie: He whispers really quietly to Ricky. That's him out there... He sighs. ...Really tempted to jump over the fence just shoot him next time he passes by... Drawing attention be damned...

[4:36:29 PM | Edited 4:37:29 PM] Arbi: Ricky: It might end this without a big fight... He watches Yuri skateboarding around in the distance, though he can't clearly see him.

[4:37:19 PM] Omniance: Odie: Alright... He looks back through the binoculars. Then this attack will be quick and effective.

[4:40:55 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He stops for a moment before he gets back on his skateboard and starts moving again, he does a half cab trick and lands it with ease. It still doesn't look like he realizes they're here.

[4:43:39 PM] Omniance: Odie: He whispers quietly. Damn Yuri's gotten a lot better at skating... Maybe being possessed aint half bad. He keeps watching Yuri as he speaks to Ricky. If I miss, or something goes wrong, I need you to get in there and try and tackle him and restrain him... And do it quick cause he's gonna try to knife you.

[4:45:43 PM] Arbi: Ricky: I'll go around the other way... If you shoot and miss him he's gonna look this way. He looks at him. Don't miss. He stands up and starts circling around the trees to the other side of the skate park.

[4:46:38 PM] Omniance: Odie: I aint the first ten top scores on all three House of the Deads for nothin... He keeps watching Yuri, anxiously waiting for the right moment.

[4:51:18 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He rides up fast towards the cement stairs before jumping them, quickly spinning his skateboard underneath him and landing back on it at the bottom.

[4:56:05 PM] Omniance: Odie: He darts out away from the tree and pulls his shotgun from his back as he runs. He foregoes jumping the fence and just turns into mist, moving through it and then reforming at the top of the stairs and shooting at Yuri just as he lands at the bottom of the steps. The loud shot resounds through the night air.

[4:57:19 PM] Arbi: Yuri: The force of the rubber bullets knock him off his skateboard and cause him to fall forward, hitting the cement below and sliding a few inches.

[4:58:28 PM] Omniance: Odie: He jumps down the steps and lands running up next to him, keeping the shotgun pointed at him. He silently wonders if he should shot him again while he waits for Ricky to show.

[5:01:13 PM | Edited 5:01:48 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He shakily raises his head from the ground, it looks like he scratched up his face from hitting the cement so hard. Who did that...

[5:03:52 PM] Omniance: Odie: You make a move and I'm gonna shoot you again Yuri, and this time I'm a lot closer so it's gonna- He shoots him again right in the middle of his back. -Almost forgot that we shouldn't be pulling any punches. He wants to look around for Ricky, but doesn't want to take his eyes off Yuri. If someone's called the cops by now, Odie knows that they probably got about fifteen minutes before they show, twenty max.

[5:06:30 PM] Arbi: Ricky: Odie can hear him running up towards him.

Yuri: He keeps his head on the ground while he talks, from the way he's talking it sounds like he's in a pain from the rubber bullets. I never should've gone... to see you...

[5:08:55 PM] Omniance: Odie: I would've found you either way Yuri. We both know that. The only difference is the amount of time it would've taken... You've gotten pretty good at skating though, watching you jump those stairs was pretty sick, wish I still had time to skate. He nods slowly.

[5:10:23 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I got better... because you weren't here anymore... to hold me back.

Ricky: He runs up beside Odie and looks down at Yuri on the ground. Shit...

[5:12:07 PM] Omniance: Odie: Well get used to it then short stop, because I'm here to drag you down again. He nods to Yuri. Cuff him up.

[5:14:54 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He puts the floodlight down and takes out the cuffs out of his pocket before slowly walking up towards Yuri, cautious that he could turn around and try attacking him.

[5:18:51 PM] Arbi: Yuri: I gave you your last chance... to stop coming after me...

Ricky and Odie begin to feel a familiar dread around them in the atmosphere.

Yuri: I'm done being nice to you...

Odie suddenly feels the same sharp end pressing up against his back towards his spine.

[5:21:30 PM] Omniance: Odie: He expects it the second Yuri says he's done being nice and pre-emptively mist forms, only feeling the very tip of the knife as he turns into mist and rushes over Yuri, chilling him to freezing temperatures as he does. He reforms on top of Yuri and tasers him. I'm done being nice to you too then!

[5:27:44 PM] Arbi: Odie's mist form feels completely different, instead of turning to mist and flying into the air he seems to drop down to the ground immediately. His form immediately falls down the slope and into the nearby drain.

Ricky: He turns around to see Maria standing where Odie was with the athame in her hand, gliding several inches above the cement. Odie?!

[5:30:01 PM] Omniance: Maria: She slowly looks over at Ricky and spins the Athame in her hand into a reverse grip. One must wonder why you think you're capable of stopping this, when even death couldn't. She glides towards Ricky and raises the Athame.

[5:33:15 PM] Arbi: Ricky: He looks mad just seeing her. I killed you before, fucker... A red fire engulfs his entire right arm before he runs forward to punch Maria in the face before she can change his powers too.

[5:36:23 PM] Arbi: Yuri: Before Ricky can even get close enough to hit her a black chain flies out from under his own shadow and stabs into his demonic arm. When he struggles against it and pulls it into the light the chain immediately strengthens and pulls him down into the cement hard.

[5:44:00 PM] Omniance: Maria: You did nothing of the sort... Your heroism all lay in Tyr's hand. The hand of a demon is hardly enough to fell me... She bends down in front of him, her white eyes glowing within her shadowing form. By the power of the Nemeton Fuil you will be- The sound of a gunshot clatters through the air, and her head twitches slightly as a bullet bounces off the back of her head. She slowly looks over to the source.

Odie: He's standing at the edge of the skatepark with a smoking gun, he has trash and other junk from the sewer all over him, he's breathing heavily like he scrambled up here as fast as he could. He fires another shot and it bounces off her chest as she turns to look at him, and then another that hits her square in the face. Her dark veil disappears. Vaya con dios... He fires another shot at her but it slams into a shadowy hand, which opens and drops the bullet. ...Shit.

Maria: She thrusts out her hand and one of the trees that lines the skate part bends downwards and stabs its branches around him, trapping him.

[5:52:37 PM | Edited 5:53:04 PM] Arbi: Ricky: The black chain breaks and vanishes but he can still feel the hole in his arm but he's still able to get back to his feet to help Odie. While Maria has her back turned he tackles her to the ground and places his hand on the back of her neck. I don't need a divine spirit to kill you again... The red fire from his hand immediately spreads throughout her clothes, engulfing her in flames.

[5:54:56 PM] Omniance: Maria: She shrieks and screams in agony as she's lit aflame. A dozen hands appear around her and grab onto Ricky to pull him off of her, three of them wrap around his neck and squeeze as tightly as they can. They last only for a moment before they fade away and she stops screaming.

Odie: He runs up to the two of them, drawing his shotgun and pointing it at Yuri again. He fires it at him a third time.

[6:04:28 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He smiles.

The familiar sound of his black chains is heard as three of them suddenly rush out from under Odie's shadow, when he runs up beside them, and stab into Ricky's back in three different places. His eyes goes wide and he lets out a groan before he falls to his side on the cement. When the chains touch the light all around them it pulls back on Ricky's body and drags him into Odie's shadow, tripping him.

[6:06:06 PM] Omniance: Odie: He guns still goes off, but it just barely misses Yuri. God damn it... Yuri... Why are you being so uncooperative. He moves his shotgun and fires at him from his laying position.

[6:09:01 PM] Arbi: Yuri: With all this light around him he can't go invisible so he just stands there and takes it, the rubber bullets slamming into his stomach and knocking him backwards onto the cement. His arms go limp after a moment.

[6:09:57 PM] Omniance: Odie: He stares at Yuri for a second, then rolls over to look at Ricky. Ricky you alright? He gets to his hands and knees and crawls up next to him to see how badly he's wounded.

[6:13:21 PM] Arbi: Ricky: I... He has his eyes shut tight, he's obviously in a lot of pain. I...can't move. There's blood running down his back. Fuck... I can't move. He opens his eyes to look at Yuri on the ground before he closes them again.

[6:15:02 PM] Omniance: Odie: He yells out. Hunter! HUNTER COME HELP ME! He looks back to Ricky with obvious worry. You're gonna be alright Ricky... It's just a few little cuts that's all...
[6:16:25 PM] Arbi: The sounds of police sirens can be heard in the distance.

[6:19:23 PM] Omniance: Odie: He lets out a sigh and looks over at Yuri. He grabs Ricky and the two of them turn into mist that flows through the gate and towards his car. The two of them reform inside and Odie gets out. Fucking god damn it Yuri. He runs back towards the skate park, his knee hurts from falling and even with the motion sickness pills he's still a little dizzy. He reaches the fence and mists through it, reappearing as he stumbles down the stairs towards Yuri.

[6:20:18 PM] Arbi: Yuri: He looks like he's out cold and won't be resisting anything anytime soon.

[6:22:28 PM | Edited 6:22:56 PM] Arbi: Hunter: He drives up closer to Odie and opens the windows for him to get back in quick though the fence is still in the way.

[6:24:12 PM | Edited 6:25:12 PM] Omniance: Odie: He grabs Yuri and picks him up, he drags him about half a foot before his multitude of injuries; broken ribs, busted knee, stab wound in his back, on top of his wavering motion sickness, causes him to stop. He takes a deep breath and the two of them burst into mist that flows back towards the car. Both he and Yuri appear in the back seat. He leans his aching head against the cold window. ...Hunter... Drive... Go, before the cops show... He frowns as his face turns pale, not just from the motion sickness, but also at the lingering thought that this might've not even been worth it.

[6:26:19 PM] Arbi: Hunter: The second the two of them appear in the car he steps on the gas and drives through the grass and over the sidewalk to get back on the road as quickly as possible. He leaves skid marks on the road as he quickly turns the car and speeds off.
