«We Could Be Legends»

“I’m not lying!” Brisa hissed out, fear filling her pleading voice. She has to believe me or I’ll die! Her eyes flicked open when she heard Wolfram’s voice, the ground dancing in front of her as Mapleshade turned. She couldn’t make out his words over the ringing in her ears, and all she saw was a tall, blurry figure, but whatever he said must’ve worked because air began to flow back into her burning lungs. Mapleshade’s shove sent her stumbling into him, and she gasped out a thank you. Her head had just begun to clear when she heard Mapleshade’s last words, fear filling her heart as her oxygen-deprived brain finally recognized the meaning.

Wolfram let out a breathless gasp as she stumbled into him, planting his feet firmly on the ground. A arm snaked around her to hold her steady, the other hand holding the gun. "Just hold on, Brisa," he hissed softly, glaring at the Pure and Mapleshade as they circled them.
"Come on, now, Wolfram." Mapleshade glanced at her gun, grinning. "Just hand over the key and we'll let you go."
"I don't have the key!" Wolfram snapped. His heart kicked and struggled, panicked. I don't know what to do!
Then he saw Taylor slinking up behind Mapleshade, beckoning to the rest of the group to follow her.

Toby's eyes scanned the clearing. So far his group looked relatively uninjured, but that wouldn't last for much longer. With all the Pure, he was surprised they were still alive.
He saw Wolfram and Brisa get surrounded, and walked up to them, his shadow creatures following closely behind. "Leave them alone," He growled, his black eyes burning into Mapleshade. "If you leave now, we might let you live. But that's really up to Wolfram to decide."

Wolfram let out a breathless gasp as she stumbled into him, planting his feet firmly on the ground. A arm snaked around her to hold her steady, the other hand holding the gun. "Just hold on, Brisa," he hissed softly, glaring at the Pure and Mapleshade as they circled them.

Then he saw Taylor slinking up behind Mapleshade, beckoning to the rest of the group to follow her.

Brisa wrapped her arm around Wolfram to steady herself, and as she turned to face Mapleshade she could hear his heart beating. “Look, Mapleshade,” She painfully forced the sound from her throat. “None of us know where the real key is. Just accept the fact”-she let out a grating cough-“that you’ve lost.” She noticed Toby draw near, shadowy figures surrounding him, as Taylor led the others up from behind.

Wolfram watched as Mapleshade froze, Toby on one side of her, Taylor on the other. It looked very surreal, Toby's eyes pitch black, crawling shadows around him, striking fear into the very heart of every Pure member. And Taylor, light crackling between her hands, eyes pure white-yellow, white aura pulsing around her feet.
"Let go of Wolfram and Brisa," Wolfram's acute hearing picked up Taylor's low voice. "Or Toby and I will shred you to pieces with zero regrets."
Mapleshade slowly turned, the Pure members raising their guns and stun darts. She threw her head back, laughing hysterically. "Get 'em boys!" She snarled. "Don't let anyone of them leave."
There was a rush of black figures, but their moves were hesitant, truly scared of Taylor and Toby. Their was a unearthly screech from Taylor, crackling streams of light snatching every Pure it could get, burning them. "Get her, Wolfram!" Taylor yelped as Mapleshade shifted and turned to pelt from the clearing.
But Wolfram was faster. He unhooked himself from Brisa, morphing quickly and chasing after Mapleshade, rage pulsing furiously in his chest.

Toby flicked his wrist and the shadow creatures morphed, their claws growing until they were the size of large daggers. He trembled, exhausted from the amount of energy it was taking to keep them under control. They grabbed onto one of the Pure, and dragged him to the ground where Toby snapped his neck. He looked at Taylor. He started to zone out, the sound of screams and gunshots echoing through his head. He snapped back to normal, blinking rapidly. In the brief moment of looking at Taylor, the creatures decided she was their next target. "Hey. Hey! No! Not her!" Toby yelped as the moved closer to her. They turned, and moved back towards the Pure. He gave her an apologetic glance, and then followed the creatures to their current victim.

Taylor shrieked when the shadows enclosed around her, the light crackling in her hands dissipating as the shadows grew stronger. Then they evaporated suddenly, following Toby now. She gasped, relaxing the slightest bit. She nodded to Toby, plunging back into the midst of the Pure. Light burst behind her eyes, her hands wrangling sunlight, a Pure member bursting into ash at the single touch of her powers.

Toby's jaw dropped as he saw her turn someone to ash with just a touch. He was jealous that she could use her powers to kill so effortlessly, while he had to manually kill people. Wait, what? That's not something to be jealous about. He thought, turning back towards the Pure members that were gathering towards him. He slammed his hand in a downward movement, and one of the shadow creatures grabbed a Pure member and disappeared into a natural shadow. Much to Toby's displeasure, neither of them came back.

The huge, dappled-grey centuar bounded into the clearing, veering to the right side, the side where little action was going on. He promptly began trampling them, with some work involved.
Little yellow-eyed pixies with long golden wings and glowing faces spread their fingers, causing subtle increase in the "Legends'" abilities, and even better, the Pure began to act confused with their mind tricks.

Brisa braced herself as Wolfram left her, making sure she could stand on her own. She didn’t know where he had gone, he had morphed mid-leap and been gone before she could focus on him. Stretching out her powers, she felt a burst of energy flow through her, sent by the pixies, and pinned an approaching Pure member to the ground, slamming back another one who was nearing her from behind.

Camilla was trembling uncontrollably, her hands twitching as she eyed the raging battle. She had no want to rush into that, and she definitely did not want to kill again. But the sight of many Pure rushing at the battling Toby, Brisa, and Taylor caused her chest to tighten, and and she sucked in a breath, hurtling herself into the brawl and shooting out her hand to the nearest Pure, ice escaping and sinking into her blood; freezing it solid, and the Pure terrorist dropped to the ground with a hard thud.
She whirled, a jagged edged blade of ice forming in her hand, and she didn't even think when she shot it into another Pure's chest. Three. That's three.
Lachlan hurtled past her, his silver muzzle matted with blood, and she couldn't keep from shivering when she saw him leap at another Pure.
Finlay had pretty much disappeared, but his location pointed itself out to her when she noticed a seemingly floating branch hitting a Pure member over the head, and the man promptly fell into a heap, knocked out cold by the invisible boy's new weapon of choice.

 

[Cluckcluck1215]

Wolfram pelted after Mapleshade, white-hot fury burning in his chest. No, not fury. Rage wasn't strong enough. Silently, he cursed. There was no word that describe the rage burning inside him.
She's killed so many people, he skidded to a halt as Mapleshade paused, morphing into her human form, and ruthlessly shot down a human with large, bat wings and ears. He morphed into his human skin quickly, ready to go after her, but suddenly he heard a sobbing shriek behind him. He spun, spotting a dark figure looming over a child, a Faun, with hoofed feet and spiral horns sprouting from her head. He cursed, who would bring a child to a battle? But then he realized she must have been fleeing, and got separated.
"Get away from her, you f—" Wolfram took this opportunity to be vulgar, and shoved someone out of the way, striding over to the child and the Pure. The Pure paused, staring at him. "Not children. You do not harm children!"
It was almost a summon, a massive dark-gray centaur, bigger then any one Wolfram had ever seen, cantered through the clearing, rearing with a furious roar and striking the Pure and the ones surrounding it in a few enraged blows.
"Come here." Wolfram glanced around, beckoning to the small Faun child, thankful the Centaur wasn't letting any Pure come close. The child took a hesitant step forward, her large green eyes wary. "It's alright, it's alright. Where are your parents? Or guardians?"
The Faun only swallowed hard, pointing behind Wolfram. Slowly, he turned, meeting the muzzle of a gun. "Come on then, Mapleshade, kill me."
Mapleshade dropped the gun suddenly. "I'd rather kill you a more....bloody way." She purred, morphing quickly. She looked up at him, a grin on her muzzle.
Wolfram glanced at the Faun behind him, but she had vanished, now atop the Centaurs back. Without hesitation, he shifted, and launched at Mapleshade with a screech of fury.
