Archived Roleplay:Main Forum/General/Squirtle's last fight

RP
James:After sticking up a note on every cabin's front door and quickly running up to the Broken Convent, telling people to be in the Camp's arena in a hour and diggin a hole full of water then hidding it under some plants, James was waiting in the training arena swinging his new silver sword, hacking away at one of the training dummies

Aria: As Head Counselor of Astraeus, Aria felt she should answer the cryptic note's call and leave the rest of her cabin to their peaceful slumber. If she hadn't been out late on one of her night walks, she wouldn't have seen the note on the door until the next morning. As she approached the arena, Aria saw James and another boy whose name she didn't know talking to one another. "Who called us this late at night?" she asked, strolling in with only her backpack and no visible weapon.

Carlton: "Good question to ask cause who ever did it thinks they can beat anyone including people from the Broken Convent" Carlton said as he earth travelled into the stands of the arena with his shield on his back and spear in his right hand.

James:"Glad to see people who hate the children of the gods that still like their parents are up for a fight" James said after the unknown boy appeared from the ground. "I brought everyone here for hopefully my last fight here and to test everyone's powers against mine" he said as he stuck the point of his silver sword into the ground

Aria: So James was the one who had run out this late at night. He'd run out this late at night to all of the cabins and even to the freaking Broken Covenant (how the heck did that boy get there? how was he not dead?). He'd run out this late at night to pick a fight with all of the cabins and even the freaking BC. By the gods, WHAT was this kid thinking?! "James, what do you mean 'last fight here'? Why the heck do you need to test your powers against everyone? And why on Earth did you invite the BC???" she hissed. "There's no need for a dramatic final stand, especially not one involving such avoidable reckless endangerment! Think things through, dude!" Well, this situation sure had escalated quickly.

Carlton: Carlton looked at the fiery kid and made his fire go back to it's original state, which happened to be nothing. "I think this kid wants to test his powers against powers he wouldn't find at camp" Carlton said. "While this one thinks he is the only one that can control fire" he said as he made a small tounge of fire in his hand and also sensing water, thanks to him being able to control it, off towards his right

James: "I'm planning to leave so I gathered as many people as I can so I can fight what ever comes my way and the BC guy is right, a lot of demigods that are in the BC can't be found at camp" James said. "So if anyone wants to leave right now, this may be the last chance to ever fight me"

Carlton: "Truth is I left him because he was a prick" Carlton said keeping his calm, remembering his years of the streets, as he made the fire behind him become a tornado of fire, thinking to himself while doing this Lets see if this trick works, then changing the fire into plasma itself, sending it straight back at the boy. "My mother on the other hand, doesn't deserve the power she has" he said, turning his spear and shield into a bow and quiver, firing a prototype arrow that can stand massive amounts of heat, Carlton had made himself, straight through his tornado of plasma at the boy he shot fire at him.

James: Now this is what I wanted James thought to himself as he called a fire breathing horse into the arena (it is a horse so he can) and made it charge at the two boys while picking up his silver sword, winking at Aria then charge into the fight behind the horse

Carlton:"If you mean being to late to I I an idiot's butt than no" Carlton said as his tornado reached the boy than he turned it back into fire than stopped it but letting his arrow keep going but the arrow was much hotter than it was when Carlton fired.

James: When James saw a new person become in the fight, James told his horse mentally to slow down so he could ride it and rode the horse towards the new person, horse blowing fire and James with his sword like a lance

Xandra: Jaded too much, she decided to heed the note left by someone anonymous. ''I'm going back there again. Cool. ''As soon as she reached the arena, she saw fire and wind howling together. ''The heck. ''Once she stepped in, she recognized a fire-breathing horse and a tornado adding the havoc. She looked at every one in the arena. She cleared her throat. "Is this the right place that the note mentioned?" she asked, showing a piece of paper between her fingers.

Aria: Great, now there were more people showing up, and Aria just knew that everyone would eventually get drawn into a massive brawl and that the arena would descend into anarchy. Even more that it already was, which would actually be quite impressive since James was now riding a flaming horse and a fire - wait, plasma? - no, fire tornado was whirling around the floor. Darn it. No one else here (except James, and maybe not even him seeing as he was the one who INSTIGATED this entire mess) knew what they were getting into, did they? They could be nice people, logical people, NOT COMPLETELY BLOODY INSANE PEOPLE, but Aria knew from firsthand experience that one way or another they'd get roped into the chaos. "This is the place the note told us to be, but I'd recommend running before it's too late. This happens all the time. And it never ends well," Aria sighed, hoping but not expecting that this new girl would listen. In a louder voice she shouted, "For the love - or hate, for you BC kids - of the gods, can we stop fighting and talk this out like rational demigods?" Wait. She tried that the last time such a big fight happened, and of course no one had listened. They only listened to action, it seemed, so action they would get. Increasing the intensity of gravity across the arena to a high but humanly tolerable level, Aria aimed to pin everybody to the ground for a few moments. As a result of stronger gravity, all the fire constructs would narrow and elongate from the air around them being pulled more heavily downwards. Hopefully, the sudden jolt would be enough to shock the summoners into extinguishing them, though. "PAUSE THIS CRAZY FIGHT. You guys are listening to me whether you want to or not," she spoke as quickly as possible, feeling the strain of keeping everyone down for so long. "James, a twenty-billion-on-one fight is hardly a way to test your abilities, even if you're a son of the Big Three! If neither of us die, we will have WORDS about this later. Dude with the Rubix Cube, don't provoke the BC kid! BC kid, don't let the Rubix Cube dude provoke you! Also, your powers are cool, who's your godparent?" Ahem. "New people, run while you still can. Please. Just do it. Don't let your dreams be dead, because that's what we're ALL going to be if we keep this up."

Carlton: Making amour out of earth, Carlton ch aged his bow into a spear and charged at the fire guy, using his own powers plus the amour around him to keep himself up when the gravity changed, draining him of his energy slightly. "It is our choice to fight or not, so not matter what you do we will fight. It is only human nature to fight" Carlton said pointing his spear at the gravity changing girl, keeping his earth amour up. Changing the earth underneath the girl to what would be in bogs (didn't know what to call it) deep enough for the girl to sink up to her neck and when she did, Carlton change it back into earth. "Stay down" he said to the girl as he directed his attention back to his opponent, turning the fire he shot back into its original state. I've had enough of this long distance fight Carlton thought to himself as he taunted his opponent, beckoning him to come at Carlton with his spear.

James: When James heard Aria's first part of fight stopping speech, he knew what was coming, the gravity being changed, so he changed himself into water for a few seconds, gaming more mass from the water in the pool he dug but leaving his horse monster to taking the full blow of the gravity. When he changed back into his normal self, James had the water from the pool around himself like amour. "Yeah it is hardly a way to test my powers because when I'm out in the real world I'll be fighting more monsters than the any amount of people I can get here" James said as he stroked his horse's neck, comforting it.

Makenna She steps up behind the girl giving the dispassionate speech about death and destruction before bringing up a dense fog to cover the battle ground and the fighters with in it to give herself a chance to speak in agreement with the girl. "Well it is nice to know you hit even the minor gods cabins, but sadly I was asked by a sea nymph to see what you were up to, and well I guess I have nothing better to do today. Although a part of me thinks that perhaps we should listen to the voice of reason and perhaps not all gather in one place just to make Mr. Suicidal happy cause ya know our scent is only going to get stronger the more of us show up and the more power we use."

Aria: It seems that the mysterious BC kid wasn't too affected by her gravity wave. Huh. He would be an interesting factor in this battle for sure. Well, looked like no one had really listened to her, as expected. And now she was in a hole. And they were still fighting. And the arena was fogged up. Great. Well, Aria could utilize these few moments of confusion to size up the situation. She'd known James for a long time and battled him several times by now, and while this dramatic fight was a completely irrational idea, coming from him it wasn't really an unexpected one. He wouldn't be the main variable she'd have to focus on. No, that'd have to be the BC guy. From the looks of it, he had control over the elements, or perhaps the state of matter. Chaos? Proteus? Physis? Aria suspected the latter. While it was highly unlikely that James would deliberately hurt any campers, she couldn't say the same for the BC demigod. The Rubix Cube guy seemed to have control over fire and was handy with gadgets, a Hephaestus kid if she ever saw one. She'd seen him around camp once or twice, so he wasn't another BC member, at least. But while she knew James wouldn't seriously hurt any campers, Rubix Cube guy seemed... er... more hotheaded. Judging by his pugnacious attitude, he didn't seem like the type to distinguish between harming a camper and a BC member. Probably just all potential opponents to him. There was another Hephaestus kid there who hadn't contributed to the fighting yet. Well, at least Aria assumed he was a Hephaestus kid. She'd seen him entering and exiting their cabin several times, but he could very well have a friend there that he visited often. There was a blonde girl with her hand on the hilt of her sword, too, someone she'd never seen around camp. Newbie? Or BC? Aria didn't have enough information to tell yet. Finally there was a new arrival, another blonde girl who was addressing the others right now, but they didn't seem to be listening to her either. Again, Aria hadn't seen her before, so she could be either a newb or from the BC. That was 7 people in this brawl, including herself, and who knew how many were on their way? Even so, Aria had figured out a plan and as many backups as she could think of in these few seconds. As soon as the blonde girl finished talking (and she was making quite a good point), Aria lessened the gravity on her burial spot until she and several clumps of dirt floated up. She didn't respond to any of the others' taunts or argue against their irrationality. There was nothing to be accomplished by doing so right now. What she had to do was conserve some power and set up all the dominoes for her next strike.

Dove: The daughter of Harmonia paced after an ivory colored butterfly that peaked her interest by her cabin. Dove wandered to a grouping of demigods with a sparkingly intense energy, she could sense it. It must be a fight. And sure enough, some of the demigods were gripping weapons and baring glares. It sickened Dove, of course; every time that she laid eyes on a weapon she became emotional. Storming over to them, Dove called out, seething, "So you guys must be the ones who posted that note on our cabins. Why you did, I have no idea, but perhaps I can convince you all out of it." She started to sound more hopeful, before adding, "I mean, violence really makes me want to retch." She shuttered.

Mark: Mark saw the note on the door of the Dionysus cabin. It said that there would be a fight at the arena. Mark hadn't been there jet. He immediately went inside and grabbed his throwing needle sheaves and put them on. He also grabbed his spares and put them in his pockets. He ran as fast as he could to the arena to join the fight. But when he got there he saw that those who were fighting fought way above his league. Wow Mark awed addable, He saw someone riding a fire breathing horse and he couldn't believe his own eyes. Mark noticed noticed he was standing in a wide open row of seats. He had no defense. this was not how he trained. Mark looked around for save spot to watch the brawl in the arena. He saw not many great places to hide so he ran back into the vomitorium he just came out off.

Carlton:As the fog settled over the fight, Carlton used his powers over the wind to whisk the fog away, seeing Xandra in the corner of his eyes. "Mind helping my beat this idiot" Carlton yelled out to Xandra as his opponent advanced on him and grabbing his quiver off his back turning it into his shield, blocking the blow of the guy's sword. He's trying to corner me Carlton thought to himself before he earth traveled behind the boy and swung his spear at this legs

James:Noticing a guy that seemed like he wanted to fight but stayed in the stands, James got his monster horse back up, letting go off his water amour, knowing that Aria's gravity trick would have worn off since she took a little trip under the ground, and directed his horse over towards the boy in the stands, pulling out his pen, turning it into it's sword form, and jumped on the horse sword in each hand, horse bounding up the stands 2 rows at a time, finally reaching him in a few seconds. Let's show him what you can do James thought to the fire breathing, making it breath a bit of fire, looking like Scarecrow from Batman begins. "So it seems like you accepted my invitation" James said to the boy

Aria: Sometimes Aria wondered why she even bothered to break up these fights. If they were so insistent on killing each other, maybe she should just let them. She could leave, or perhaps she could even join for the heck of it. Life as a demigod wasn't complete without some ridiculousness and violence, right? Shaking those appealing but perverse thoughts out of her mind, Aria continued with her plan. She touched down on the ground a safe distance away from the newly formed pit and returned the dirt to its original place without packing it back down. Two more people had arrived, her night vision informed her. One of them seemed upset and was marching right towards the fray. Great, another contender? The other was staying away from the fight, thankfully. But James was charging up towards him on a flaming horse. Eh, she'd leave the new guy to handle James himself. Now, in order to refine her plan, Aria would have to learn a little more about the combatants she hadn't seen much action from yet. A single phrase or move could yield so incredibly much about a person! She needed to figure out how these other people thought and what they were capable of, and she knew a crude but effective way to accomplish that. Aria's earlier gravity maneuver would have aggravated enough people already, and if she could get their attention even further with her upcoming actions, all the better. Jogging up to the main brawl between BC kid and Rubix Cube guy in the center of the arena, Aria stood by casually as they charged at each other with pointy objects. Originally she was going to stand behind Rubix Cube guy, but BC kid had passed through the ground (yup, Physis kid confirmed) to occupy the space she was planning to take. Well, this worked even better! With BC kid's arms extended and attention focused away from her, Aria had the perfect opportunity. She reached around him and wrapped her arms around his ribs. "Hi," she said. "How's it going?" ''Let's see you react to this! Any good at hand-to-hand, BC kid?'' she wondered.

Carlton: Getting hit by his opponent shield didn't not rattling him one bit from his own experiences. Seeing his first opponent jump into the air than charge at him in the air which surprised him a lot because of sear amount of strength it needs to do that. Leading to him still be in shock and surprise from his opponents strength, Carlton didn't react while to the girl he stuck in the ground grabbing onto to him very well until his original opponent yelled to the girl (or probably to him) which made him quickly make the best element for amour,earth, and used all his strength to take the girl up into the air then landing on her, with earth amour still on incase his origanl opponent changed course down at him

Xandra: She rolled her eyes at the sight. And I thought this would be interesting. She didn't mind Carlton when she shouted for assistance. It was all just crazy havoc. The girl calling out gravity. The guy with a Rubik's cube. A guy who turned to water. A girl who came saying she hates violence. Instead, she made an illusion of a huge person with a hammer coming straight down on the guy with the cube and Carlton, wondering how they'll react. She readied hr sword in her scabbard. "I'm practically agreeing with the girl who just played with gravity," she commented.

Dove: Dove stumbled a couples steps back, not believing her eyes. Never in her life did she see the power and anger that she was currently witnessing. It was almost empowering her to join. But... she swore never to fight again. She steadied herself and slinked over to the gravity-girl, saying in a hushed tone. "I'm not for any of this..." she looked up at her, "And that said, I think I can help."

Mark Mark saw that the dude on the big horse noticed him. He immediately stormed after Mark and got ready to fight him. Mark got scared by the sudden confrontation. He didn't know anything about him. He had seen him ones in camp before but very briefly. Mark went deeper in to the vomitorium. "So you stuck up that note" Mark yelled to the horse rider. "i thought it was going to be a little brawl, not a full out war" Mark now angry, took a throwing needle in both hands. His right hand ready to throw any second and his left ready to stab anyone who comes close. Mark was mad that the horse rider threatened him. Mark thought he might be able to disable the horse and level the odds between them seeing as he's probable a few years younger than him. How good of an fighter could he be. Mark ran forwards a little bit to the right throwing distance and threw in total tree of his 24 throwing needles aiming for the horse's chest area hoping to disable it from walking. he quickly ran back into the dark vomitorium hoping the horse rider wouldn't be able to see him.

MakennaShe moves to stand next to the girl who had been in the hole and another girl who seemed to be talking listening in on there conversation before speaking again, "I am just a child of the wind but I will help you to settle this in anyway I can." Looking around at the people fighting she rolls her eyes wondering how she gets herself mixed up in things like this.

Aria: Aria never cursed. Vulgar words lost their shock factor if they were prolifically used. However, she would say without hesitation that this entire fight was an utter shitshow. She'd managed to avoid becoming a shish kebab only because the BC kid she was holding onto had jumped up. But he'd materialized earth armor right before jumping, which was such a waste of energy on both physical and magical fronts. Three of the girls were talking to Aria now, but she didn't catch any of what they said. Oh, and now the BC kid was trying to crush her. And some giant with a hammer apparently was trying to crush both of them! Wait, Aria hadn't seen it a moment ago with her omnidirectional night vision, and she hadn't heard it approach, either. It was kinda hard not to notice a giant under any circumstances. Was there a child of Hecate who could make illusions in the crowd? Anyways, that wasn't her most... pressing concern right now. In the second or so remaining before impact, Aria shifted her hold onto the BC kid's shoulders and suddenly reversed their gravity to slow their fall. (Simply going into zero-g wouldn't work, since their momentum would still persist.) As she maneuvered to land on her feet, she returned them to regular gravity and shifted her arms again, this time wrapping around the BC kid's neck in a rudimentary chokehold.

Dove: Dove sighed. It was rude enough that no one even knew she was here, but the fact that she offered to FIGHT for them and no one heard was even more frustrating. If Dove seemed vengeance, it might cross her mind that she could steal the crowd's yearning to fight, but Dove couldn't seem to concentrate. "Fine," Dove amended out loud, remembering that getting angry was useless. Peace. Peace was hard right now. "I suppose I ought to go find that, uh, thing I left in the, um, place away from here..." She lied, backing away.

Carlton: Knowing that the giant with a hammer was one of Xandra's illusions, Carlton delt with a bigger problem than Xandra's annoying illusions, the girl that now trying to choke him and the possibility of his rival in this fight helping the girl. Letting go of his earth amour, Carlton tired to grab the girl off him but unsuccessfully didn't so he used his powers over fire to make a small fire on the girls back, just enough for her clothes to catch alight, knowing that she'll get more hurt from the fire than him if it started to spread over him.

James: "No one has been locked in a cage made of shadows yet so it isn't a full out war" James said as he shifted on his horse noticing thre boy had pulled out needles. When the needles struck the horse, instead of going onto the ground in pain, the horse just turned to dust and James landing on the ground. When his opponent ran away, James turned his bronze sword back into a pen, stuck it in his pocket and took it water from the pool and on the ground and blasted it out in a circle, making sure it would bounce back to him when it hit something solid like echolocation. Makenna She places a hand on the shoulder of the girl who is slowly backing away before leaning into her ear and speaking, "If you really want to escape I could always fly us a short distance away so we could actually get a good head start on our run. I could always give us fog cover again as well but then I will be kinda tired."

Dove: She flinched, surpressing a yelp as something tapped her shoulder gently. Dove swirled around quickly to see a girl with a very tempting offer. "I just... it's a bit conflicting, really– I want to stop the fight, win the fight, and run away all together." She sucked some air in. "And who is this guy we're fighting? Is he part of that BC thing I've been hearing a lot about? Perhaps I could oversee a treaty..."

MakennaShe sighs and shakes her head sadly, "I am not entirely sure that they are willing to come to a treaty. I think part of them just want to see the other parts blood and gross bits scattered across the ground. I for one wish for my blood and gross bits to stay inside me where they belong. I didn't enjoy monster hunting on my way here and I do not want wish to have an unnecessary fight with other demigods if I can help it."

Dove: Dove smiled lightly. "Are you sure you're not a sibling of mine? You seem right in line with the whole 'no violence' thing of Harmonia." She added. "I would also prefer my guts are contained inside of me." Dove continued, sighing. "I could charm a weapon so the person can't use it– maybe that BC kid; that ought to make him think twice. I know I specialize in peace and all, but perhaps you have an idea I can put into action."

'Mark As Mark was running back he suddenly got hit in the back with a splash of water. And then again. Mark turned around to see if the unknown horse rider was taunting him. The waves of water blocked his vision but they most certainly came from his opponent. Mark held up his hands in front of him with a needle loosely in his left hand. suddenly, out of no where, he was blown backwards by an immense force on his hands. A high pressured jet stream of a purple liquid, mark assumed it was whine, originated from his hands. It rushed directly toward his opponent. Mark was thrown against the wall and lost control over the jet stream. Whine was spewing everywhere. "STOP IT, STOP." Mark yelled. And whine stopped admitting from his hands. Mark noticed he lost the needle he had in his hand. He must have let go of it when he was surprised by the jet stream.

Dove: As Dove waited for Makenna to respond, there was a splashing sound that prompted her to turn around just in time to see a geyser of purple liquid spew from a camper she'd never seen before. A thin needle that Dove wasn't able to detective whizzed by her, cutting the length of her cheekbone. By instinct, she squealed and immediately brought her hand up to her numbingly painful cheek. Dove looked to the direction of the needle came from, shaking slightly. The wine kid was push against the wall, begging for mercy from... himself? If he had not shot at her– Dove wasn't sure yet if it was intentional– she might consider helping him. Squeezing her eyes shut, Dove forced herself to calm down.

MakennaShe opens her mouth to answer when she feels a geyser of wine slam into her chest before her words can sound and acting on instinct she sends a rather harsh wind at the one throwing wine letting it take on a sharp edge that may slice him, but will burn him slightly. Once her eyes are clear of the wine she grabs the girl and kicks off to fly and perhaps help the boy with the wine. Landing close by she releases the girl and speaks, "I am making a run for it are you in?"

Dove: Dove barely manages to shriek as she is grabbed into the air, trying her breath as soon as she gets down. "Yeah, good idea." Dove says between breathes.

Aria: It looks like Rubix Cube guy was nope-ing out of the fight, so it was just Aria against this Physis kid now. But wait, someone else was leaping at him now! Nin? Pretty great timing on his part, wow. Then Aria realized something was burning. SHE was burning. "Why did I have to pick a battle full of pyromaniacs?" she groaned, trying to pat her jacket out with one arm. When that didn't work, Aria shifted her other arm out from under the BC kid's neck and fired a beam of blinding light at his face. Then she hastily removed her jacket and smothered the flames against the ground. Darn it, that had been her favorite jacket, but at least only her clothes had been harmed. Originally Aria would've resumed her fight with the BC kid right away, but since Nin was attacking him now, she'd better leave the scene. She'd gotten all the information she needed, and Nin would be able to fight better without one of his friends in the way. Now Aria would focus her attention on the other major battle going on, this time between James and three campers she didn't know much about. She jogged in the direction of their fight and shouted from a safe distance, "Hey, James, Nin arrived! We've got the whole squad here now!"

Carlton: Seeing that his rival seem to have fled and another guy taking his place trying to smash him with a staff, Carlton changed the course wind and made it strong enough to knock the guy off course just before he got blinded by light and hit by the wave of water bouncing right off him. Why does everybody seem to attack me at once Carlton thought to himself as his sight came back to him but with many sunspots.

James:The water hitting all the people and coming back to him gave James a clear view of where everyone was. Running towards the way of boy with needles had went plus the water rebounding off him give a clear view where exactly where he was, James saw something that lot a lot like water come out of his hands. That better be something like wine James thought to himself as he made a shield of water, blocking the wine from getting to him. Now seeing girls come his way, James started to make a small earthquake, only effecting the wine guy and the two girls, only keeping the earthquake going long enough to knock those three off balance. "You do know Nin will probably try to kill whoever he is versing" James yelled back at Aria "And mind helping me cause it seems like these is becoming three on one?"

Dove: The trembling ground knocked her down hard, but she managed to gain balance quickly, as it seemed it stopped as rapidly as it started. Dove produced a stubborn face. "We're not trying to fight him." She paused, gulping. "Kill us?" The daughter of Harmonia asked with dread.

Dove: As Nin bombarded James with attacks, Dove's vision went blindly white as ripples of memories flooded into her sanity. ''She had fought him. She had hurt him. She had killed him. And she had no choice. That sword should never be picked up again.'' Dove shut her eyes and cupped her hands over her ears. Trying to make it stop. It happened too often, the flashbacks. She had to let go. Dove took a ragged breath and fled, finding a wide oak tree a couple yards away that would conceal her. Great first impression.

Aria: James had a point; Nin was launching his righteous fury spiel right now. RIP BC kid. "Nin, just for the record, I was the one who attacked him first. But yeah, please don't kill anyone!" she shouted in the direction she had just jogged away from, slowing down when she noticed the ground shaking ahead of her. "And James! Come onnn, I warned you, dude! You said you wanted to test yourself, and look where that got you. I'm not helping you fight these guys; you're the one who provoked them, and I don't think they," Aria nodded towards Dove and Makenna, "actually want to fight you! You gotta learn to get yourself out of the messes you make, or else prevent them from happening in the first place," she sighed. Why were all of her friends so headstrong and pugnacious? The earthquake stopped, and Aria continued forward cautiously. "Hey, uh, pacifist girl, I'm guessing you're a Harmonia kid?" she asked Dove, who was running towards the trees in her direction. "And since you just flew, you're one of the sky or wind deities' kids?" she asked Makenna. "The guy up there with the wine and needles is from Dionysus, I'm betting. You guys are all trying to end this fight, right?"

Dove: Dove nodded– she was a proud Harmonia kid, clenching her hands until her knuckles were white to stop the shaking. The cut on the side of her cheek burned, but it seemed easy to ignore now. "I don't even know how I got into this." She admitted. The girl seemed less abrasive than she others, more cautious and gentle. Dove liked that, as around weapons she could be fragile.

Makenna She nods as well she might not be a child of Harmonia, but she also is not stupid enough to look for a fight. She had seen enough fighting on her way here and really would prefer to avoid it if possible. Shaking her head she mutters, "I know how I got into this. I allowed sympathy for a salty ocean nymph is too busy pinning to actually do something on her own." Turning to the girl next to her she smiles softly, "So are we running then cause I am pretty sure we are going to be unable to hold off from fighting for much longer and well my winds tend to burn people thanks to my father."

Xandra: Idiots. She walked quietly over Carlton and called out. "You know what, guys? If you are going to combine yourselves to defeat whoever, might as well we fight by groups, yes? Everything will be chaos if there is a group and there are some fighting alone with no goal in mind. Actually, everyone will have no goal. So, please!" she said. She unsheathed her sword and looked at each demigod in the arena.

Carlton:Using his power to change matter into something else, Carlton sensed what he was looking for, his opponents bones, and turned the bones in his hands to dust, not controlling the dust/bone making his opponent drop his weapon. "I don't think I would be one going to die in this fight if that trick I did to your bones starts spreading" Carlton said fighting the shadow construct around him but also spreading the bones turning into dust. "Seems like it was already happening" he said with a small on his face.

Dove. "What, are we supposed to get in teams like dodgeball for an nice, organized fight?" Dove asked sarcastically. "In fact, maybe I should get my sword!" She sighed, narrowing her eyes. "No one would want a daughter of peace on their team for a fight, I assure you."

Xandra: She eyes the girl who spoke. "Why, yes, miss. Dodgeball can be a bloody game, if purposed to." She pointed her sword at her. "And my dear, peace isn't only what you think it is. It is very essential, if I may be asked."

Dove: Dove glanced at the sword, praying she won't start shaking again. "One step closer and I'll make you as peaceful as a rock." She warned. "And why are you so bloodthirsty?"

Xandra: She laughed. "Do I look that bloodthirsty to you?" She let her blade down. "Perhaps, daughter of peace, you also have the spirit of war raging in your blood. You do know your family tree, right? It's wonderful."

Dove: "Honestly, a bit. And, of course I have the spirit of war in me, that's why I can't let it out again. Ares may be my godly grampa, but he is no family of mine." Dove sighed, stepping out of the shadow of the tree, her red hair glinting in the light.

Aria: Running away right now would accomplish nothing. Aria knew from prior experience that if all the voices of reason left, the fight would rage on and on until someone died. The BC was here, too, which was never good. Splitting into groups to fight was also pointless, since no one ever listened to rules during massive arena showdowns like this. Plus, this fight wasn't even supposed to be happening in the first place. Aria looked over at the blonde girl who had proposed forming groups and was now engaged in conversation with the Harmonia kid. She didn't know much about the blonde girl. Not her godparent, her affiliation, her personality, or her fighting abilities. But she had always been ready to draw her sword (which she had just done), hinting that she often used it. Dangerous environment? Constant training? Whatever the reason, the blonde girl carried herself in a way that suggested she was quite proficient with a blade. Hmm. Aria'd have to gather just a bit more intel, and then she could finally proceed with her plan. "Hey, sorry to interrupt this conversation, but what are your names?" Aria abruptly asked once she reached the oak tree where Dove and Xandra were standing. "I'm Aria! The crazy Poseidon kid is James, and the guy fighting that BC kid is Nin. Don't know the names of anyone else here, but it seems courteous to learn them."

Dove: Despite the intensity of the whole fight, Dove smiled and replied casually. "I'm Dove, resident peacemaker." She paused. "And you weren't interrupting; I think I should be leaving in the chance that I might need to fight." Dove wiped the line of blood streaking her cheek, thinking about the minor injury made her a little dizzy and uncentered.

Mark Mark, soaked in wine, had trouble getting up again as the ground seemed to be shaking underneath him. He felt a small stone fall on his leg. Probably from the ceiling. This was an earthquake Mark realised. It soon there after stopped and Mark got up and ran further into the tunnel and ran around until he found an other way in into the arena. If the vomitorium where he fought the horse rider was 12 O' Clock, then he was standing at 3 o' clock. Mark saw that there was a battle that was going on in the middle of the arena. that was of no interest to him. What was an interest to hi was the whereabouts of the horse rider. Mark would quite like to avoid this stranger. But at the same time some part of him was mad crazy at finding him. Not to avoid him, but to kill him. Mark had no control over this feeling. It was probably something he inherited from his godly father. you could see this madness taking him over. His face turned into a Joker like grimace and he started laughing hysterically. "WHERE AAAAARE YOOOOOOUUUUUUU" Mark screamed out. Mark Had gotten full psycho mode and there was no certainty as to what he might do next.

Dove: There was a ruckus going on behind Dove as she walked away to the infirmary. She spun around and saw Nin thrust his weapon at Carlton, screaming something she couldn't quite hear as she was out of earshot. Her breath hitched, and she lunged over to the them, hoarsely screaming, "Nooo!" As Dove ran she reached for the katana but stumbled an scrap her forearm as she fell. Cursing under her breath she stood up and balanced herself, before asking a shaking, disappointed voice. "What did you do??"

Aria: "Dove, leave them, they're not going to listen to us," Aria shouted toward the Harmonia girl's retreating form. "If you're going to the infirmary, let a counselor know that this fight is going on and that the BC is here!" A crazed laugh interrupted her before she could speak again. From the Dionysus kid? Woah. Unexpected, but not disastrous. She'd have to observe his next actions and alter her plan accordingly. Carlton:Carlton stopped changing Nin's bones into dust but left them as dust. As the shadow wrapped around his eyes, Carlton made a small fire that was bright enough to cast away the shadows. When the shadows were gone, Carlton threw his spear at his shadow opponent quickly running at it. "Nyx, only controlling a half the day. Physis on the other hand, controls something all day long so that means so can I and truth is I wasn't scared of the dark just psychos like you"

Xandra: Out of the conversation, she could hear cries and competitions on which has the better parent. If you only knew mine, she thought. She went to face Aria. "Well, hello, Aria. May I ask if this is always the way you campers fight? Seems like a huge ruckus. And my name is just something that made me hated," she replied, jabbing her sword on the ground. "Pfft."

Aria: "Well, as Shakespeare put it, 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.' But if you don't wanna tell us, no pressure." People who judged others by their name and not by their character were just plain foolish. Unfortunately, their brand of stupidity hadn't been eliminated from the gene pool yet. "And no, we don't usually fight like this. Though this HAS happened before, and some of the same people from last time are involved now. They never learn," Aria sighed. Interesting that she had asked "how you campers fight," not "how we fight." This name-reluctant girl was seeming more and more like a BC kid and less and less like a newb now. "Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to just be reckless and go all-out like those guys," Aria admitted, nodding towards Nin and Carlton in the arena's center. "Then I remember that that's the kind of behavior that gets demigods killed before they reach 18."

Carlton:An idea sprung into Carlton's head. "Stoicheía" Carlton yelled out summoning his four African wild dogs in their element forms.Attack him Carlton said telepathically to the four dogs. Three of the four dogs turned into the dog form, Fortá being the only one to stay in it's element form because of Carlton telling him to so it would keep the boy from creating shadow constructs. Aehra was the first to attack Nin, grabbing onto his arm while Yee and Nerò went for his legs.

James: Hearing what he thought were dog barks, James thought he should bring in his pet. Red I would really need you right now James thought while hearing his opponent's insane laugh. A few seconds latter, Red found James and nudge James's legs. "Go get that crazy dude up there" James said to Red just before Red ran off with James behind him with both swords out

Aria: As she was talking to the girls by the oak tree, Aria had been using her night vision to keep track of the battle raging behind her. A new guy had arrived on the scene. Aria'd seen him at counselor meetings before, a Dionysus kid, if she remembered correctly. "Hi! Yeah, I came here when I saw the flyer. Looks like a lot of cabins did, and I think the BC got the memo, too." She pointed towards Carlton in the middle of the arena. As Aria was gazing at the central duel, she saw shadowy chess pieces rise from the ground. That was obviously the work of Nin, who had just poofed right into the midst of her conversation circle. "Dude, easy there on the power usage! You look like you're about to crumple to the ground in a heap. An unmanly, ungainly heap," she berated, opening her backpack. Aria carried around ambrosia all the time since she liked to be prepared for everything, but nowadays it seemed that she was keeping it around just to save her crazy friends from killing themselves. "Catch," she said, tossing a Ziploc bag of ambrosia chunks to Nin. "It's a few weeks old, but you'll be okay. Don't sue me if you get diarrhea, though." That would be a good way to deter her pals from needlessly getting themselves into these kinds of situations again.

Xandra: A new guy arrived as Aria produced ambrosia for her fellow camper. "Somehow, those kids who use too much power i fighting tend to die earlier. Mostly because of over usage, not death in the hands of the enemy." She whistled and turned back to the girls. "Do you guys even want to join them? I'd prefer watching and creating obstacles for them." She smiled at both the girls. . . and the new guy she never knew.

Aria: She stood by awkwardly during the hug, not wanting to be rude by pushing Nin away but also not particularly wanting human contact right now. "In later situations, let's go with a high-five instead, man. Surprisingly, nothing except my estimations of James' common sense have been hurt," she replied absently, her focus directed towards her appraisal of the battle right now. The girl whose hadn't given her name had officially tipped the scale in favor of "BC kid" when she'd commented that she enjoyed messing with the fighters rather than stopping the battle. Not many newbs acted like that, in Aria's experience. Now, if all other factors remained constant, the last step before she could launch her game-ending plan was to break up the battle between James and the crazy Dionysus kid. "Be right back," she called, leaving the conversation group. "Nin, that girl you're standing next to is BC, by the way."

Carlton:Seeing Fortá get hurt was what snapped Carlton. he quickly turned Fortá into nuclear fire, making the dog bright enough to almost be a miniature sun, casting away the shadow construct. Fortá try to increase the brightness of your fire and help the rest Carlton thought to Fortá as he turned Fortá back into normal fire with the last of his remaining energy to use powers and as Fortá became bright enough to make the shadow construct weaker and helping the tie her dogs kill their shadow constructs. Call the other three dogs to him and telling them to turn into element forms, Carlton touched all three, healing his injuries and gain some strength back to it was after he first start fighting his second opponent.

James:Using the water from all around but the arena, James made a water construct of himself near where he sensed Aria was when he did his water-echolocation which happened to be a few feet to Aria's right and tried to put his voice through it also making it sound wave sensitive to the point where James could almost hear from the construct. "Is Nin dead yet" James said through the construct sounding a bit like static.

Mark Mark finally saw His opponent. He started to run at him. With throwing needles in his hand. Mark saw he summand a dog to fight him. In Marks Mad state he tried to just kick the dog of the stand into the arena's center ring. Mark was set on killing the horse rider. Mark looked like a mess with his limp, crazzy smile and laugh, hair sweaty and wet and purple stained clothes. it was clear that he wasn't himself any more. He was possessed by madness.

Aria: Using her night vision, Aria was keeping an eye on the behavior of the conversation group she had just left, and it seems that the Dionysus counselor was... shamelessly flirting. With that more-than-likely-BC girl, nonetheless. He was another person Aria'd have to reevaluate, huh. Everyone here was so full of surprises. James was creating a watery doppleganger near her now, with the intention to either talk to her or fight her, so Aria slowed her jog but got ready to bolt if she needed to. Turns out he was just asking a mundane question. "No, Nin's not dead, dude. But you're going to be, if you keep wasting your powers like this! Focus on ending your own crazy battle before worrying about how Nin ended his crazy battle," she berated her ever-reckless friend. "I'll help you stop this Dionysus guy, but after this you have to stop the fight, okay?" ((all the campers/BC stop fighting but then the monsters come in?))

Xandra: "Well, then, good to meet you, lieutenant of Dionysus cabin," she told the new guy, er, Jungkyu. She looked at the fights around her. Yes, crazy. A watery figure. Shadow constructions. Fire and whatever element flying through the air. And the happy place she was in - just a little conversation. She turned to her little group. "Hmm, what do you guys wanna do? Seems like the fighting spirit isn't in the mood to do so." She sheathed her sword. "I'm jaded." ((Yes yes. Monsters come in.))

MakennaShe rolls her eyes at the announcement about monsters coming finally reaching into the back of her hoodie to pull her bronze sword from it's scabbard. Looking around she gives it a few twirls before dropping into the fighting stance she was taught through all of the fights Woody had gotten her into, "So there is no chance if I run now that I might be able to avoid a fight right?...Hmmm well that sucks guess I will just have to do my best right? I am Makenna by the way daughter of Notus not that he has really done much good for me other then getting me stuck in trees."

James:The water construct gave James most of what Aria said. "I don't think I can stop this not unless I don't want to drown anyone" James said through the water construct then stopping it so he could bring his attention to his opponent, just seeing his crazed opponent kicking his dog into the stands. "Oh know your going to get it" James said as he grabbed his other sword out, started running at his opponent and starting an earthquake that followed him as he ran. When he started getting close to his opponent, James made the water molecules in his body stronger and used the water from his talking construct to wrap around the boy's body and legs.

Carlton: If there is monsters coming I should stay and help Carlton thought to himself before he ran off towards to his once opponent with his four dogs all in their dog form right behind him. "Let's settle our differences before these monster's come" he said to the his once opponent with his hand out.

Mark Mark started throwing some of his needles despite the horse rider still being out of range. Mark was able to throw 5 Needles before getting restrained by water. Mark fell over face first into the hard Stone floor and passed out for a second. When he awoke again he felt cold and drained and had no recollection of what he did. The last thing he remembered was running through the hallways of the arena. Mark was so tired he would be unable to stand. But the water engulfing his body prevented him from even sitting up. Mark was to tired to cry out for help. The only thing he could say was "what is happening?". Mark was confused and terrified.

Xandra: She claps her hands. "Alright. No one leaves. Whoever's in here is in for the fight." She walks towards where the guy with the shadow thinggies - Nin - and Carlton were standing. "Sure enough that there are big ones in the mob," she told them. "We need, somehow, people on long-range fighting as additional support. Throwing flaming arrows at the monsters while some fight them hand-on-hand will ease us a bit," she suggested.

James:The needles bounced off him because of James increasing the strength of the water molecules. When James thought the boy was back to normal, he made the water that James used to tie up the boy come back to him. "You went kinda pyscho that is what happened" James said to the boy as he walked over to Red to see if he was alright. "Out of all people, Nin, I'm surprised you said that" James said after he found out Red was alright and started to walk over towards Nin.

Carlton: "I'm guessing the arrow shooting is my job cause it seems like I'm the only one with a bow" Carlton said as he changed his spear and shield into a bow and quiver.

ICE DRAGON ''It releases another shrill cry when the smell of Demigods becomes stronger and quickens it's pace; it's long tail slithering behind it. The arena comes into view and so does the wall of the arena which it almost completely ignores save for putting one taloned hand on the wall menacingly. The wall cracks from it's weight as it's head and upper body slowly lifts over the wall one eye becoming visible, an almost luminescent blue, and it's massive head covered in blue and white shimmering scales. After looking at the assorted demigods it takes to the sky flying high and circling the arena once before making a decent into it landing near the center; then giving a deafening cry again after touching down challenging everyone there.''

Aria: Well, it looks like that complicated plan Aria had initially been working towards was useless now. Everyone had stopped fighting too late, and now there was a freaking DRAGON in the arena with them. How'd it even get through the camp borders? Aria sighed. Well, the situation could still be salvaged with some careful strategy and the cooperation of everyone here. Hey, all the information she'd been gathering about these demigods could be repurposed into a battle plan! "You're right," Aria said to Xandra. "In order to survive this, we'll have to fight smart. Having some melee fighters may be necessary, since not all of us have long-range attack capabilities, but I feel that it's wisest to have as few people on melee as possible. When facing something as powerful as a dragon, close-combat is exceptionally dangerous, so the best choice for melee fighters would be those with the strongest defense capabilities. But if you can fight long-distance at all, don't choose melee! Also, we'll have to attack the dragon from all angles to make it difficult for it to concentrate its attacks. Spreading out around the arena and partnering with someone who complements your fighting abilities is an option. Anyone who has aerial powers, do your best to prevent the dragon from leaving the ground. If it does fly up, use ranged attacks to direct it back to the arena so it can't go after the cabins of campers." Aria looked over the faces of everyone present. "Does anyone have any strategy ideas to consider?"

James: "I think I'm going to need a clean pair of pants" James said after Nin's awe aspiring speech than creating a 25ft tall wave of water from the water in the arena, from the atmosphere and from the two sources of water at camp, the lake and the beach, but also increasing it's mass by using. His normal hydrokinetic powers to get the wave to almost 30ft tall but instead of letting it smashed down on the dragon, he kept it staying where it was and got on top of the wave waiting for Nin to move. "Come on dude move" James yelled to Nin as he thought to himself Lets see if this ice dragon can take being under this much ice.

Carlton: Carlton took out an arrow from is quiver that could stand heaps of heat and took the water that was left in the arena, changing it into oil and put it all over the tip of his arrow, Carlton then fired the arrow at the dragon's eye and then lit the arrow on fire no less than a metre before it reached the dragon.

Aria: The moment Aria concluded her spiel about not charging into close combat, Nin charged into close combat. She blinked twice and stared stoically at him running away. Then she took a deep breath and stared up at the stars. The stars were nice and predictable. The stars were nice and reliable. The stars didn't ignore you and run into suicide matches against dragons whenever they got worked up. "...Someone go help him before he dies," Aria sighed wearily. "Again, if anyone has any strategies BESIDES kamikaze-ing at the enemy, please speak up. I'm gonna fly up and give you guys some air support. Remember, if you can use ranged attacks, PLEASE use them. Don't be like him," she sighed again, pointing at Nin screaming on top of the dragon's head.

James:Once Nin moved out of the way, James let the wave go, taking some of it so the wave reached 28ft and used it to stay in the air. "Let's see if you can take that frosty" James said to himself tiredly but getting his energy back thanks to the water he was floating on. Floating over to Nin and Aria, James heard the last of what Nin said. "So what's next cause I won't be able to do much with frosty over there" James said pointing to the dragon and shooting a small amount of water at the dragon like a bullet.

Xandra: "Anyone there who's not pretty exhausted shoots on this dragon while I distract it!" As soon as she said so, she created illusions of huge flames surrounding the dragon and the huge wave so real she thought she could feel the heat. ''Now that's a good boy. Melt on your own will,'' she thought, if ever the dragon could hear her.

ICE DRAGON Enraged by the idea of it's food fighting back it tries to take off into the air but roars when it can't feeling tears in it's wings. The wave collides with it and confuses him but what really does him in is the illusion of the wave of fire which sends the reptilian creature into a panic. He fills it's lungs and then blows a storm of ice and wind in the direction of the demigods planning to chow down on the frozen corpses after everyone and the wave is gone. Yet for some reason the flames persist and it's scales weaken enough for the little people around his feet and wings to tear more flesh off of him making it harder to stand and nearly impossible to fly. It raises it's neck defiantly at the sky crying out it death scream knowing it isn't to far away at this point but not going down without a fight.

Mark Mark wasn't able to do much as he looked at the magnificent beast standing in the arena. He didn't really grasp what was happening. He saw a dig light bleu dragon And a big wave of water. everything was blurry he could here some people yelling about mostly using ranged attacks. That would be pretty smart Mark thought. Mark made an evert to re load his sheaves as he only had 3 left he took 9 out his pockets and loaded them in his sheaves. After that he decided to climb the stands to get a higher view point. While he was climbing up the seats he felt a hard gust of wind from the middle of the arena Mark looked back, and saw the dragon was trying to fly up but couldn't. Knowing that cornered animals can become really dangerous and unpredictable Mark made the biggest evert to reach the top of the arena. The adrenaline rushed trough Mark's veins, essentially recharging Mark. When Mark almost reached the top it seamed like the air froze. Mark saw clearly again and saw that the Dragon was really struggling to fight the demi-gods. Mark started to throw his needles aiming for the dragons head. He was facing the other way and did not see Mark setting in his attack. Mark went all in and threw his 12 sheaved needles at the dragons head. He took out his last three. sheaved one and kept the other two in his hands. just in case the dragon went after him he could at least defend himself.

Aria: The battle was going well, solidly in the demigods' favor, it seemed. The flames were a great touch, and for the first time in this brouhaha Aria was glad for all the fire-powered demigods present. "I'm not mad, Nin, just tired of being the only sensible one! Do you know how exhausting it is to prevent you guys from killing yourselves every time there's a fight? I'm surprised both you and James are still alive, in all honesty," she shook her head. "Anyways, I'll use my powers to hold the dragon's head still. Everyone else can focus on attacking its neck to end this fight."

Nin He nods in understanding and puts his whistle to his lips deadly serious about what he was about to do next. "Time to end this!" and blows his whistle forming a shadow cannon ball bigger than a car then has it spout spike all over it. Mentally preparing himself to take the dragons life before firing the weapon he just created to devastate the reptilian monster. Looking as it let's out a scream he knows to well he fires the cannon ball at it's chest the shadow construct easily going more than thirty to forty miles an hour.

James:Seeng Nin fire his shadow cannonball, James used all the water he could find execpt the water he was floating on and warped it all around the shadow cannonball, knowing again if the dragon turned it into ice, the water would be stronger than just water.

Carlton:Watching all the other demigods attack the dragon, Carlton kept a stream of fire going towards the dragon's head then turned the fire into plasma, keeping it from breathing anymore ice.

ICE DRAGON Without the uses of it's wings or it's legs and feet it is rendered helpless as it's scales fall away three foot icy plates of hard armor hitting the ground because of a deadly stream of plasma. Being a noble dragon he refuses to be taken lightly and tries to return the blast with a stream of ice and cold freezing the unseen death heading towards it. It doesn't see when the ball hits but it feels it when the ball punches a hole through it's chest leaving it unable to even scream once it's heart is removed from it's still living body. It slowly turns to dust leaving behind more scales as they flake off and several of it's teeth fall from it's mouth still covered in icy saliva and blood turning to dust until there are five teeth, two of them canines, and seven of those people sized scales, though floating in an indent of one is a puddle of dragon tears, leaked from the eyes and cold enough to resist evaporation collecting in the scale.

Nin He let's out a celebratory whoop before hitting the ground and raising his arms to the sky still letting out the cry. "WE JUST KILLED A DRAGON! AN ICE DRAGON AT THAT!" he notices the things that fell from the body and thinks quickly ordering his men to disappear taking the two canine's of the dragon teeth with him and one of the scales. Then he personally walks over to the puddle, dumping the contents of his water bottle, before scooping up some of the liquid and sliding it into his coat pocket. Afterwards he jogs over to Aria holding his hand up for a high five "We're still Alive! We just fought a dragon and lived aren't you excited".

Carlton: After the dragon died, Carlton stop his flow of plasma, almost out of energy. Walking over the dragon's remains, Carlton picked up to teeth and used the last of his energy to make a bottle shape out of earth and turned into plastic, draining some of the dragon tears. Once done, Carlton told his dogs to help him get back to his room and started walking off towards the arena exit. Before he left, Carlton thought he should play a joke on his once rivial, knowing that he had took some dragon tears and Carlton gaining energy from his dogs and the ground, Carlton turned the tears his once opponent has into liquid nitrogen, skilling as he almost fainted.

James: "Now that's what I'm talking about" James yelled out once the dragon was kille, dropping to the ground and picking up one of the largest dragon scales. "What the hell was that was how to kill an ice dragon" James said to the guy that was hidding before and while walking over to Aria and Nin

Nin He felt the weight of the bottle in his pocket change and pulled it out in a hurry noticing that his bottle was a different color than the translucent dragon tears. Immediately he realized that the only person with the ability to change the tears was the boy he was fighting earlier and spotted him leaving the arena. He shadow travels to the fleeing form and reaches for his neck, planning to choke him into turning the dragon tears back, ignoring the dogs but creating shadow tendrils should they try anything stupid. "I don't care if it kills you! Change the tears back." he says lowly his shadow take-over still active and they writhe across his body matching his anger.

Aria: The dragon had been defeated, and the battle between the demigods showed no sign of resuming. Aria dropped back to the ground and sat down, winded by her power usage and by the turn of events. There were so many ways she or anyone else could have died tonight, and yet the only casualty in the arena was a dragon. A freaking dragon. She'd done her best to keep calm during the fight, but now upon its conclusion, every delayed emotion rushed back to her. Shock, anger, exhilaration, determination--the full spectrum. Nin and James were celebrating, and confused demigods were emerging from the shadows as the arena settled down. Numb to the world, Aria didn't react to any of it. She was alive, everyone else was alive, and at this point, not much else mattered, really. Weariness for this brand of slaughter overtook her when the others began looting the dragon's corpse and gleefully pranking each other. "I'm gonna go now. I'm done for the night. You guys can handle the rest," she said impassively, looking away from the dragon's glassy eyes and missing scales. They could figure out how to deal with the BC kids and dispose of the body. Aria was tired, and her job here was done.

Mark Mark had to keep stopping as he walked down the stairs to catch his breath. The only reason Mark was not ecstatic about there win was because he was still drained from his insanity episode. He saw that not the whole dragon turned into dust. Shiny light bleu liquid and huge icy scales and teeth were the only things remaining. But when Mark eventually got down in the center of the arena he initially ignored the dragons remains that people were collecting. He would much rather like to find all 21 throwing needles he threw away again. Mark did not see any use in the dragons remains. Well maybe the scales could be used as shields. Mark decided to pick one up and maybe modify it into a shield of some sort. or make it a memorabilia to his first ever fight fighting along side other demigods. In this fight Mark learned two things. One, he needs to learn a LOT more about demigods abilities. And two, just throwing darts ain't gonna cut it.

Cynthia: The arena was a mess of people and aftermath. Were... were those spoils from a dragon? Cynthia strode into the arena with a hand to her open mouth, taking it in with wide eyes. Her equipment looked woefully inadequate. She wore an army-green service jacket despite the summer heat, and ropes, not quite covered by her skirt, coiled down her thighs. Maybe I should've brought armor, she thought. While she didn't have any defensive gear, two swords hung in an X on her lower back - an ornate celestial bronze rapier and a black-hilted longsword in a silver sheath. She placed a cautious hand on the rapier's pistol grip. The nearest of the throng of people to her entrance was a pair of boys, one of whom she vaguely recognized. Unfortunately the familiar face was very close to getting choked to death. ''Well, I mean, at least I have an ally. Good start. It's better than nothing. "Ahem! Yeah, I don't know what any of this is about, but I do'' know you're going to have to step off of him," she called to the camper as she approached.

Nin Nin looks up his shadowy tattoos writhing around his skin and notices the girl approaching him assuming that the girl is a friend of the guy he is trying to choke. He blows his whistle and one of his vanguard chess man keep a hand clenched tightly around the arm instead of neck keeping him in place until after he deals with the female. "He pulled a trick he should have thought twice about and I want it rectified" though he doesn't wait for a response before dashing quickly to the girl putting a hand on her stomach and spinning on his foot to fling her across the arena with a stiff push.

Cynthia: Cynthia checked Nin over with the quick eyes of a duelist for any weapons as soon as he started dashing. When she realized that he was charging her unarmed, however, the faintest trace of a smirk spread across her mouth. ''Oh, you've got to be kidding me. These people are idiots! Why hasn't Heinrich given us the invasion order yet,'' she wondered to herself absently - more often than not, her subconscious could handle tactics on its own. Ideas came as easily as breathing. As Nin lunged for her gut with a half-extended arm, she spun forward and reached out with her own in a more outstretched mirror of her opponent. His hand met her stomach and forced a grunt from her pursed lips, but not before she brushed the surface of his jacket. Awakening was best done with direct contact. The jacket sprang to life to fulfill Cynthia's command, at once it constricting down across Nin's body with supernatural force and stopping his arm mid-push. Cynthia stepped back from the brief shove while drawing her rapier to level it at Nin's throat.

Carlton:When he got strangled, Carlton slowed down breathing and told Fortá to get ready to increase his brightness. Once his old opponent moved onto a girl, Carlton's anger rised, increasing his adrenaline levels, Carlton started a volcano eruption, moving the lava(it is earth just boiling hot) aiming start at his opponent and telling Fortá to increase his brightened and to attack his opponent.

James:James rushed over to Aria and said "Hey why didn't you get anything." Once seeing another fight break out but this time with lava, James rushed over there, water from everywhere in the arena floating behind, and pulled out his two swords.

Xandra: She sat down on one of the big rocks in the arena, a bit tired but still up for anything. Just after the dragon, the others deemed to resume to what they were doing before the monster arrived. A new girl showed up, some face she's already seen in the Sanctuary. Well, seems like another BC camper, she assumed. Instead, she went back under the shade of the oak tree and watched whatever was going on, hoping someone, just someone, would come and just have a little chitchat.

Nin He looks up at her, defiance shining in his pitch black eyes, and shadow travels behind her thrilled at the prospect of fighting someone amazing; keeping his old opponent at bay by extinguishing the flames from around the dog. He blows his whistle and is suddenly holding a bo staff made of shadows opting to use shadow constructs instead of his real weapons to stay wary of this girls abilities. He swings low opting to take out her legs before she realized he was behind her a shadow clone Bo staff coming from above her to swing hard at her shoulders.

Cynthia: Panic surged forth as she saw her opponent vanish, but it was overpowered by instinct as a voice in her mind whispered, Go straight. Cynthia kicked off hard, narrowly dodging away and out from under the two sudden attacks, then spun on her heel and instinctively thrust her rapier at the nearest target - the shadow clone - as she shouted, "Coat, snap things!" Nin's coat immediately reacted to the new command by seizing and twisting violently. The sleeves pushed forward on his upper arms but back on his forearms to snap his elbows. Its hood went to work as well, wrapping around his throat before spasming back and forth in an effort to break his neck.

Nin Nin wraps himself in shadows as if creating a perfect copy of a shadow clone around himself and then forces it to expand growing enough for him to step backwards out of the near demonically possessed jacket. Afterwards he collapses the shadow in on itself trapping the jacket inside and he sends it to the far side of the arena to be collected later. Not done with the fight however he shakes his head and whistles for his chess men the shadows rising from the ground like the undead for the third time in a single night. With his ire flared he sends them after the opponent the Vanguard opting to attack from the left and right both brandishing heavy swords that they are prepared to cleave through the girl with, he sends the calvary men down the middle their spears pointed at the opponent aiming for the legs to pierce through them. Not wanting to be left out of the fight he wraps himself in the light armor and charges as well jumping off the back of the calvary men and flying down towards the girl with his daggers extended. To be safe he shadow travels into one of the calvary suits planning to go all out and take this girl life.

Cynthia: Thinking on her feet as always while the vanguard suits formed on either side of her, Cynthia stamped her foot, signalling the the rope coiled around her thigh to extend down the rest of her leg. ''These people are trying to kill you, right? That makes them evil,'' the voice whispered. It sounded satisfied with its deduction. ''We should destroy them. We're good at that.'' Cynthia gritted her teeth. Just before the vanguards' massive swords could connect, she kicked off hard, assisted by the rope around her leg like a spring or a muscle that propelled her clear over the two vanguard pieces's weapons and straight at the assassin piece above. With her longer reach, she plunged her rapier through the construct's helm and destroyed it before its daggers could come close. At the peak of her jump, she swapped her rapier for the oversized longsword that was slung alongside it, and shouted, "Become as my arm and give me strength!" The second rope shot up from her right thigh and coiled around her arm like the first rope had done for her leg. Cynthia hit the ground with a gravity- and rope-enhanced downswing that cleaved straight through one vanguard from helm to waist. After absorbing the full shock of her landing, the rope around her leg let her spring for the second vanguard fast enough that she simply spun in the air over its sword and bisected it with the same continued swing. At last she planted her strengthened leg in the dust and hurled the weapon end-over-end across the battlefield. If the other pieces dissipated so easily, her opponent had switched to one of the remaining two. Sure enough, one's movements were slightly more hollow than the other in the same way that her own lesser awakenings were. With added power from the rope, her sword was buried hilt-deep in the vacant footman piece's chest. Half of its sharpened silver sheathe stuck from the back of the massive construct's shattering breastplate as it fell. Four down. Cynthia redrew her rapier and started to back away in a defensive stance, focusing again on what guessed to be the constructs' creator in the final armor.

Nin She is good he thought to himself but she should have just hit me then he feels for it and connects with his actual bo staff the ends still bladed because of the shadow take-over. He pulls it to him across the battle field with maddening speed and waits for the exact moment and jumps over the Bo staff knowing it's moving to fast for her to control it like before but also knowing that she can't at all because of his shadow take-over. While the Bo staff flies at her chest the blade meaning business the footmen gives a thrust downward at her chest with his spear; while he shadow travels again behind her but off to the side if the Bo staff should pierce her. Then quickly before she notices his presence his creates shadow chains that bind both of her legs to the ground and he blows his whistle holding a katana which he pushes backwards through the upper part of her back with no mercy for his opponent. Though wary of tricks he summons his own shadow and prepares it to form a dome of protection should he need it; or a dome of confinement should he need that.

Carlton: Carlton almost out of energy, Carlton ordered Aehra to go to the cabins and find him a healing potion and stopped his eruption and controlling the lava while telling the rest of the dogs to take the remains from the dragon he got back to his room. He stayed out the fight until Aehra came back with the potion from the Hecate cabin. Carlton drunk half of the potion, gaining most of his energy back and healed al of his injuries, then shot two arrows that had a rope in between them at his old opponent's legs.

Xandra: Watching the shadow guy and the familiar girl fight, her eyes hurt after following each of their moves. Then the guy who seemed to be talking to her a while ago before the freak dragon appeared came to sat by her. She nodded her head like she didn't. "Mhmm," she said. "It looks like they need more monsters. Pfft." She eyed the guy. "Dionysus' Cabin head, right? Jungki, was it? Or not?" The fight between the two people seemed to last forever as Carlton suddenly shot arrows at the shadow guy. Two against one, huh.

Cynthia: As the final suit of armor jumped for her with its spear raised, Cynthia threw herself up at it with a rope-assisted lunge and generated a field of highly pressurized air around her clothes. Her opponent was obviously greatly skilled. Why face him head-on, where his spear gave him an advantage? Instead she let the condensed air burst out in all directions to form a defensive sphere, which, with the momentum of her lunge added to the momentum of its own expansion, crashed into the spearman like a giant over-pressurized airbag. The shadow spear shattered under the impact first, and the rest of the suit met the same fate a moment later. Just as she realized that he wasn't inside, however, something caught her by the leg and she fell forward hard onto the dirt. She turned over in surprise and noticed a shadowy chain had barely caught her left leg when she kicked off. With a barely-registered flit of movement in the corner of her eye, she saw Nin's bo staff hit her barrier and ricochet to the ground a few meters away. Now Nin was just behind where she'd lunged from, his new katana coincidentally repelled by her expanding shield. "Holy... No, slow down, what just...," she trailed off. As her shield came to rest at its full size, she tugged against the chain binding her foot and tried to process the last two seconds.

Aria: There was a lot of noise coming from the arena, and it sounded an awful lot like fighting. It was loud enough that Aria could hear it even halfway back to her cabin. "Maybe I should go back," she thought. That'd be the responsible thing to do. But then Aria remembered the level of BS she'd been putting up with all night. "Nah," she decided, continuing her leisurely walk back to her room.

Nin He felt his shadow take-over end and he goes back to not using his powers so heavily the shadowy tattoos fade away. He goes back to standing in his stance and relying on agility while fighting when suddenly he notices the arrows with the rope coming with speed towards him. He fires shadow bullets from his finger tips cutting through the rope and letting the arrows past by him before darting over to his staff and turning it back into a baton putting it in the sheathe across his lower back. Assessing the situation he realizes it's two on one and shakes his head thinking They should have bought more. Then he sets off in a run for his most recent opponent not caring that the girl is chained to the floor and with a thought sends shadows up from the ground like a wave of infinite darkness around her dome of air. Upon closing it at the top he closes his eyes and shakes his head thinking ''You crossed the wrong Nyx kid. Now there is no hope and there is no light'' he thinks this knowing that even he doesn't use he dome because not even air can get in. Not ignoring his opponent from earlier however; he commands a couple of animals from the woods to consider him an enemy to their young not even having to exert any energy beyond pointing out a threat and is glad to see a couple of owls, a few mice, and a skunk answer the call.

Cynthia: Two arrows with ropes tied to them being thrown aside by her shield were the last thing she saw before a dome of shadows shot up without warning, sealing above and throwing her into total darkness. Cynthia froze, the new situation only adding to how overwhelmed she felt by all the battlefield's sudden, constant changes. ''It's... pitch black now. No li... No light, no light, no light, no LIGHT,'' she thought, frowning at the subconscious urge to repeat the last bit. There was a pattern here, and it should be obvi--- Surprising even herself, Cynthia raised a hand over her head and snapped. Suddenly light filled the dome. Levitating above her open palm was a tiny star, shining with gentle warmth that illuminated the translucent barrier of air she maintained at the edges of her cage as well as the dome of murky black that had formed just beyond. Oh, duh. With a wave she moved the star into the shackles binding her feet, and its ethereal form phased into them (and her ankle) like a ghost. Meanwhile she touched the rope around her thigh with her spare hand and whispered it a new command that made it slither away and begin circling her, then did the same with the one on her arm. The shadow-shackles dissolved a breath later and she sprang to her feet, extinguished the impromptu light, and drew her rapier.

Xandra: "Well, Blake/Juni, good to meet you," she said. The fight was prettily having fast movements that in every second it gets worse. A guy she had probably seen already long time ago, or not, came in, taking one of the ice dragon's scales. "Maybe a roll of fire balls will do to the stop the hell out of them?" she told Jungkyu. "I'd rather let them fight 'til death. Someone you know?" She pointed at the new comer.

OOC
James: I was thinking of heaps of monsters coming into the fight in a while because of all the demigod scent coming from the arena

Nata: *single slow tear* I feel so betrayed

Nata: Hey Reeses, get on chat with us! :)

Reeses: I'll be in England this Thursday to next monday, so of course I won't be acessable. Just a heads up.

Nata: 23:59, August 17, 2016 (UTC) Lots of people seem to be confused as to what's happening right now, so I'll give a quick summary of the situation:


 * 1) James and Mark are fighting on the bleachers. Aria's walking towards them. Mark went crazy a while ago.
 * 2) Jungkyu, Xandra, Makenna, and Nin are standing in a conversation circle near an oak tree. Dove's leaving them to go to the infirmary.
 * 3) Carlton is fighting Nin's shadow chess constructs in the center of the arena.
 * 4) Xanxus noped out of the fight several posts ago, and Nin took his place.
 * 5) Tony hasn't posted in several days so I guess he's watching from a safe distance away.

James: I was planning to use a few Amicoids and those bear/human twins

Summer: And I thought we'd be using ^^^. Last I checked, there are only two seen ice dragons. Are we making a new one now?

James: I changed my mind (with a little help from nin pointing this out) because ice dragons are weak to fire and a few of the chars have power over fire. It is one of the two known about, it just reformed near camp and broke through camp's borders being the size it is.

Summer: Broke through the camp's borders???? well, whatever

Toxy: This rp is way too long for me to read with how much time I have now, so apologies if I mess anything up here. Could someone give a quick summary of what people are doing, like what Nata did earlier?
