Zone A -- Lowlands

[Karl Jak]

Face to Face
Full Assault (Takezo/Dust) vs The Golden Alliance (Bendy/Abyss)

The full brunt of the assault fell upon the pair of primes that comprised two-thirds of the ‘Golden Alliance.’

Abyss and Bendy retreated—their movements fluid despite the whirling chaos of steel and claws that closed down upon them.  Although routed by the vicious tandem of warriors, ideas formed rapidly in the heads of the smaller primes.  Fresh water began to coalesce in the squid’s palm.  Bendy’s barbed tail unfurled and coiled in anticipation before the two came to an abrupt halt.

Expecting to rundown their intended prey, the pair of Dust and Takezo were taken aback when the smaller, more bloodied twosome spun to confront them.  A sphere of scalding water crashed into the visage of the swordsman, who uttered a slew of profane words as he stumbled back.  While lacking its normal ‘gusto,’ the rapidly conjured orb still had enough kick to stall the lethal warrior.

As Takezo was taken out of the equation, Dust narrowly evaded the stabbing motion of the ink demon’s barbed tail.  Rather than lose momentum, the shirtless man lunged forward and slashed his claws against Bendy’s visage.  Ink splashed against the ground as the cartoon creature pitched sideways and fell to his palms and knees.

Abyss dashed forward, hoping to land a kick upon her friend’s attacker, but a swift elbow to the side of her head threw her back to the ground.  Adrenaline brought her scrambling to her feet for another attack, but she spotted the blade just as it came thrusting at her face.  An erratic, sideways lunge was all that spared Abyss from winding up as a calamari kabob.

“Let’s wrap this up, Takezo muttered as he turned to see that Dust had hoisted the ailing Bendy off the ground.  The cartoon creature was bleeding ink from various wounds on its face and chest.  With zero emotion on his face, Dust pulled the dying demon in for a brief kiss that left little speckles of ink on the man’s lips and chin.  Before the swordsman could say something, Dust opened his mouth to reveal that his teeth were now jagged and razor sharp.

The handsome man, with the civility of a wild animal, bit down into the ailing ink creature’s neck and tore clean through with a series of rapid bites.  

By the time Dust had reduced the inky creature to an indiscernible mound of carnage, Abyss had exited the scene.
