Hunting [Plot Villain]

[Enzair]

CRACK!

In a matter of seconds light was suddenly snuffed from the area followed by a yell as a bolt of Black energy darted across the sky perfectly aimed at the Titans chest it traveled at the speed of lighting. The massive energy blasted from his sword was the strongest that any magic can reach, 10 generations of dark energy was about to prove exactly how strong it was, it may not kill the titan but it is definitely going to do some serious damage, And the bolt was not small.


Moment’s ago.

Delta rose up seeing what the titan was more black magic… “Perfect” his sword was meant to snuff out dark energy and block light, it made his weapon all that better the titan was about to see just because were small does not mean we are weak. Delta laughed rather evilly only to pause from a shooting pain from his chest, now covered with bandages.

As the titan spoke, Delta’s sword began to snuff the light around it making it appear as if a void just appeared, but it was not it was black magic, the strongest of its kind, 10 generations of darkness, 10 generations of evil, 10 generations of power.

“Let’s play my game!” yelled Delta rather hostile. The beast of a titan should have seen that at the beginning of all this Delta’s attention was towards the Human but his strike changed that.

“You were not my target of amusement in the beginning Titan! Now you are! You should have paid closer attention,” Continued Delta with a Dark and Vile voice

Moments between milliseconds.

Crack! Went the bolt of darkness snuffing out all light for yards upon yards as it darted across the sky aimed with deadly accuracy at the titans chest, but this spell had its drawbacks it can only be used so many times, it took a great deal of time to recharge and the back fire or drawbacks is Delta’s energy. He would fall to his knees barely able to move for several minutes but he was out of range of the titan’s ball and chain so he was good… for now as he recovered.

For Delta in these moments between seconds seemed like an eternity, Voices echoed through his head, faces he never seen shown themselves to him, there were 10 of them one for each generation and behind them was a dark figure with his gnarly clawed hands on each side of the line of dark magic users. The whispered were layered upon with so many voices and so many words he could not make them out.

Regardless the time Delta spent inside his own mind felt like hours of helpless horror of darkness and flashes of the violent history of the sword, truthfully Delta never used the swords power he did not know the effects it would bring now he knew, he did not realize the sword was so evil. However, what to him felt like hours, was only a fraction of a second, the moment between the milliseconds was all he really spent there and his blast was practically still on its path and looked like it hardly moved, but once he snapped out of it the bolt darted away towards its targets chest.

OOC: you will see by my characters bio the weapon is throwing its best not better than listed, nor weaker. The history if you piece it together will support its offensive effects, the side effect was just pointless to put so I decided to just RP it out XD, boy delta’s going to be soar tomorrow not that he already is, lol XD

[MIFF]

Hey, this human guy wasn't so bad after all. He at least managed to recognize Miff's awesome power even without having to experience it first-hand. Really it was the kind of strength that should be obvious to anyone with half a brain anyway but the world was full of morons as far as the Mad Scrub was concerned. Morons like this Onox guys who thought he was tough enough to tangle with Miff of all Deku! So really, meeting someone who wasn't a total moron was always nice. Maybe Miff wouldn't come after him later, at least not to take him down. Perhaps the knight would be able to appreciate the Mad Scrub's various tales of glory and achievement. For some reason so few people were willing to stay and listen to those. Probably because they couldn't handle being in Miff's presence for too lo-HEY WHAT WAS HAPPENING NOW!?

The smallest combatant in the forest now found himself being rushed upon by Seayn who, in his protective instincts, was trying to "save" the little one from certain doom. Seeing this as a threat rather than an act of grace(Miff hadn't really been listening much to anything the two armoured losers had been saying, after all) he did not accept the generous action but instead disappeared from the forest floor.

Miff was in the air, off to General Onox's right but still roughly in front of him and within the giant's arm's reach. The two long leaves on his head were spinning around like a propeller. Miff's Flower Flight was a product of his race's unique abilities, allowing him to quickly hover into the air to avoid danger. The "danger" he had intended to avoid was Seayn's treacherous surprise attack. The attack he would actually avoid was probably Onox's destructive flail. Hopefully Miff's quick-escape capabilities wouldn't surprise Seayn too much or he might just take said flail full in the back. That was the sort of thing that could put a guy down for quite awhile. A guy less amazing than Miff, that is. Which is everyone.

In the next split second a loud crack filled Miff's ears(Where were those anyway?) as black magic struck out at the titan. Another invisible attack also took action during this time. Whatever the chaos Miff was left hovering in the air near the center of it all. It was sure to be confusing but this was one Mad Scrub who always knew what to do in a crisis: He aimed and made a close-range spit, sending a Deku Nut at wherever Onox's mouth currently seemed to be.

Surely that would solve everything.

[General Onox]

[OOC: Enzair; your comments about your ability are duly noted. However, what’s intriguing is the effect of apparently sucking in all light doesn’t seem to be listed in your ability, just thought I’d point that out before anyone else puts in any pieces of information that aren’t covered in their abilities. You should explain everything about an ability in its ability slot section, not use the biography parts to explain further, so light being removed with your attack is instead going to be disregarded.]

---

The Dark General was unable to decide whether he was satisfied by the fact that his opponents were now more willing to display their true combat abilities, or whether he was irritated by the fact that they were just causing him further delay in his search. As his bludgeon missed Seayn, whose quick reactions to attempt to save both himself and the Deku, regardless of whether the Deku was happy to allow the human knight to save him or not, had seemed to save him on this occasion, the head of the flail shooting past Seayn’s shoulder before then being instantly retracted upon recognition of its failure to impact.

What amused Onox was the apparent assumption from his opponents that he had not considered their part in this fight; Enzair almost seemed to believe that the charging of his previous ability had gone unnoticed and as for Miff; who was now hovering within very close range of the titan, his actions were now starting to err on the side of recklessness, as much as the shrub was confident in its own abilities to attempt to topple the beast. Out of the corner of his vision, Onox was aware of Enzair preparing his attack and the sudden involvement from Kinsley, whose initiative to use her invisibility hadn't quite worked fully, and had attracted his gaze from his other eye as she drew closer. It appeared that they had hoped Seayn was distracting his attention somewhat.

Unfortunately for them, the amount of years Onox had spent absent from this world had no effect on his battle skills; his senses were still incredibly sharp. His response suggested that as he took action against all current threats.

He by now knew Miff would be sure to launch a ranged attack, although no-one here, let alone Onox himself, could probably anticipate any attack the Deku made, therefore evasion would be his best option to avoid one of those Bubbles from hitting him again. In addition, Kinsley was striking from just off from the left-hand side of his chest with that dagger gripped tightly as she launched. Enzair would have done better to not alert the titan to his intentions, as his shouting as the other two attacked alerted him completely to evade the attack to come.

Onox moved to his left, causing the Deku Nut from Miff to skim the edge of his helm and ping off yet again, whilst the titan then had to react to Kinsley who was all but about to plunge that dagger. Onox was aware of Enzair’s sword charging, he had been whilst Seayn had jumped in moments ago to protect Miff, and therefore he was never going to ignore the possibility of a ranged attack, which now seemed as if it might actually strike Kinsley if it was fired directly at him, who he was aware was drawing ever closer, able to sense her presence as she advanced. The Dark General could not allow this to happen and would therefore gently brush Kinsley back away from him as she got close enough to be obviously in the way to ensure that she was left unharmed from Enzair’s attack, which whilst it missed its original target, still struck Onox’s right arm rather than his chest as he continued to move to his left, slowly stopping shortly after acknowledging the lightning attack to judge the damage.

In truth, Onox was a walking lightning rod, meaning that any of Enzair’s attacks like that would probably stand a better chance of hitting him than anyone else’s. However, despite this, the Dark General seemed less bothered by the attack than he possibly should have been. Certainly, he felt the attack more so than any of Miff’s strikes and it alerted the titan greatly that Enzair could pose some issues if he was able to continuously land attacks like those. That said, Enzair was still not going to recover well from the strike he received earlier, an almost shattered ribcage was never going to suddenly heal within a few minutes, so the titan would just keep out of a straight-line shot angle and deal with Enzair appropriately. The General laughed.

”Do you honestly think such childish and reckless tactics are passable in the world of power?!”

In a flash, Onox took action to respond to the attacks and the wind throughout the forest suddenly began to pick up, swirling around the area rapidly with great pace until after barely a couple of seconds, it then changed into the form of a gigantic tornado with Onox at its centre. The edge of the tornado spread outwards to cover the entire area of the clearing, causing trees to uproot and become caught up in the whirlwind itself, spinning around and being launched outwards with incredible force. Needless to say, if these trees could easily be upended, then the edge of the tornado which reached had now spread outwards to Enzair, with Seayn, Miff and Kinsley still just as susceptible to being dragged into it, could certainly drag the four warriors in without much difficulty as Onox watched on gleefully as the Faron Woods continued to be the victim of his destructive nature.

”Soon… soon, I will find you…”

[/color][/blockquote]

[Seayn]

Seayn had managed to avoid the powerful swing of the flail but it seemed as if he was always upon the defensive with this guy. Onox kept coming and coming with his devastating blows and the young knight wasn't able to deflect everything with his shield, like he had planned upon in most fights. He had a rather decent amount of strength yet these ridiculous attacks made his defense seem rather impotent. He could almost scream in frustration yet that wouldn't help the situation at all here. He had to somehow think of a way to stop this diabolical titan or they were all done for. As valiant as the deku had been it was time to get serious and hit this being with something other than an occasional nut or bubble. Speaking of the valiant deku, the little thing had flitted away at the last moment, apparently having his own method of escape that he preferred over the knight manhandling him.

Seayn could see that the bubble launched by his ally had unfortunately missed yet it seemed as if more attacks were coming now than had come before. A silvery-furred fox appeared with, what appeared to be, a dagger in its jaws. That was simply ridiculous though... almost as ridiculous as a wild animal attacking General Onox, obviously something was amiss and he would have to figure it out. A bolt of dark power also soared through the air, although it seemed attracted to the dark general, he seemed unphased by the attack, which Seayn was beginning to think was going to be the majority of this fight. He seemed rather careful with the fox when he brushed her aside, perhaps there was something more between the two or this being wasn't here solely to destroy, who knew?

"The only tactic I have at the moment is to protect things that YOU are trying to destroy." Seayn shouted in protest at the gigantic human. The beginning of the immense whirlwind was a very large problem. he could only see one way to halt this and that was a long shot at best. At worst it would tear one or both of his arms off. He slammed the pointy bottom of his shield into the ground as hard as he can. He continued to attempt to slam Excalipur into the ground although it was quite difficult. He worked both of them with all of his strength, shoving them down to anchor him as well as he could.

[MIFF]

Oh Miff was miffed now! It was one thing to step out of the way of his bubbles, but dodging one of his nuts!? The Mad Scrub considered the Deku Nut his specialty shot! His pride and joy! His true worth as a marksman! Up until now this was just a distraction for Miff. He didn't really care about Onox or what the big lug was doing. He just saw a big target to shoot at and wanted to make use of it. But now?

Now it was personal.

"The only one in the world of power is me!" the tiny terror cried without any sense of defensiveness in his voice, completely assured that he spoke the raw truth. Miff's ability to hover would normally have run out by now, the Mad Scrub not able to spin his Propeller Leaves fast enough to sustain it for long. For some reason though Miff found himself still in the air. Not just in the air, in fact, but being pulled along in it.

Weighing barely anything at all and with a literal propeller still spinning at a half-decent pace on his head Miff was now being carried by General Onox's building tornado. He was carried clean around the titan a couple of times at an unnerving pace as he rose up higher and higher, eventually getting up to and even past the titan's eye level. The determined Deku did his best to use his spinning propeller to stabilize himself but it barely helped. He'd never get off a decent shot in this state.

That really made him mad!

Practically fuming real steam as the water that gave his wooden body life heated up from raw anger and rage, Miff started to grow ammo within his core. Timing as best he could the Mad Marksman unleased another barrage of six small but super-hard Deku Seeds while getting himself to face inward toward the center of the storm and his intended target. Miff was used to firing in all conditions so even the wind's interference was accounted for in his aim. Whatever he couldn't fully control in this admittedly new situation for him the Deku hoped to make up for with the number of his shots and the size of his target.

Not long after he spent his payload, however, Miff would find himself still carried up and now even harder by the winds. It wasn't so much around Onox anymore, though, as it was away from him. The propeller stopped spinning as the wind's strength outmatched it and the sentient plant was sent tumbling and somersaulting backwards through the air, flying high over the forest floor among other debris.

"Stop running and fight like a man!" Miff squeaked as loud as he could back through the torrential winds at their master, hopefully before it was impossible for Onox to hear him.

[General Onox]

[OOC: It has been just over 24 hours.]

---

Watching as the whirlwind continued to wreak havoc throughout the middle of the woods, Onox was quite content to amuse himself by watching the others attempting to survive. Seayn’s use of his shield as an anchor along with his sword was a clever tactic, one that would certainly allow him to temporarily avoid being thrown around by the rapid winds that were continuing to circle. Both Enzair and Kinsley would fall victim, neither reacting in time to save themselves and therefore scooped up from the ground and swung violently through the air circling the Dark General, before then both being thrown out from the force of the winds among the the forest, likely to receive additional injuries from the impact of colliding with the dense amount of trees on top of extreme disorientation.

The fate of Miff was one that certainly caught the eye of the titan, watching as he circled around continuously, yet still able manoeuvre enough to enable himself to launch further attacks upon his opponent. His resilience was admirable, though Onox saw it quite differently; futile being a more appropriate word as he acknowledged the fired Deku Nuts. Still, Miff’s accuracy was impressive as the entire cluster was certainly in a tight enough group and in the general direction of their target, from which Onox could only dodge half of them easily, narrowly avoiding another two and accepting the final one striking his arm yet again before the plant went shooting off out of the whirlwind, squeaking with some annoyance about how underhand the General’s tactics were as he followed in the same direction as Enzair and Kinsley.

The continuous comments from his opponents that dismissed his power were beginning to irritate Onox. They still refused to accept his power or acknowledge how truly strong he was. If his focus had been less intensely focused on his goal, he may have been tempted to force them to comprehend his strength better.

But, he had a job to do.

Turning back to where Seayn was struggling to keep himself firmly in place, the Dark General responded to his previous comments with a mocking tone.

”You are foolish, boy! Be fortunate that I am otherwise preoccupied rather than sending you straight to hell! Be gone with you!”

With that, he flung his arm in the direction of Seayn, sending the whirlwind off in the knight’s direction to move past him and follow on after the other three, with the clear intention to simply rip Seayn from the ground and throw him off after them whilst he continued to search around, whilst wondering if his opposition would finally accept that their attempts were pointless. The whirlwind suddenly moved off towards the knight at a rapid pace, which would be more than enough to complete its task of carrying Seayn away before then dying down as it reached the others who were by now a good hundred yards away from where they had been picked up.

[Seayn]

Seayn had only just managed to keep himself attached to the ground, his feet having flown outwards, dangling in the powerful vortex that the general had created, he could almost hear his sockets groaning as they struggled to hold him against the current of wind that was threatening to suck him in. He clung desperately to his sword, feeling his fingers losing their grasp. At least his shield was attached to the arm and quite unlikely to come off. The other people seemed to have already been sucked within, spinning in a most nauseating manner. The deku seemed to take it in stride, spinning in the air and firing more at General Onox. Many things could be said about the little one but it couldn't be said that he gave up easily or was intimidated by such a frightening opponent.

The powerful being that assaulted them decided that it was time to stop messing around and send the young human flying along with the rest of his comrades. The whirlwind caught up the knight, spinning him in a few disorienting cycles before depositing him next to the others. Lying on the ground, his head spinning in a way that made it quite difficult to move, his mouth gaping open as he attempted to inhale though his lungs felt as though they had collapsed. He struggled to a sitting position, after catching his breath, eyes searching for the titanic figure of Onox. "You're lucky that everyone seems content to let you wail on me." Seayn muttered to himself as sat there, before he finally managed to stand up. He took a few faltering steps towards the large armored figure that was now increasing the distance between them before beginning his sprint towards him.

[MIFF]

"Hey!"

As Seayn tried to sprint after Onox a small, wooden being jumped onto the top of his head from behind and then off, landing on the ground before the knight. Miff turned to face the human, his leaves ruffled and clearly worse for wear overall. Luckily being so light meant that a crash landing wasn't as bad for him as it could be. Miff was also a small target for most debris so he hadn't been completely crushed, just really, really roughed up. Regardless the Mad Scrub was still willing to jump back into the action right away... only now he was facing Seayn and cutting off the shield-bearer's route.

"What was the big idea of trying to tackle me like that!? And I thought you were pretty smart for a second too!" he chided. Clearly the Deku had not yet forgiven the knight's betrayal earlier. Getting knocked around in a tornado created by a colossus was nothing for a mighty monster like Miff, after all. He wasn't going to let it confuse him or make him forget the important things, like grudges. "Once this is over I'm taking you down next, got it!?"

The Deku then promptly turned and charged full force down the forest floor on his tiny wooden legs once more. Onox had declared himself the most powerful one too many times(Actually, once was too many times) and this Mad Scrub was having none of it. Miff wanted to slap a Deku Bubble on Seayn first but any seconds the Scrub wasted were seconds that Onox spent thinking that he was the best. Now was the time to chase that fraud down.

He'd worry about the tiny crack in his head later.

[Kinsley]

"You do make a good decoy; Not an excellent one, but a good one." Kinsley replied to the young man, while lifting herself from the pile of broken pieces of wood. She was battered up pretty good. She had not suspected that the behemoth would be able to sense her her presence, or kept up with her quickly movements. She was ashamed to admit that she had failed in her attempt to put an end to the creature. If it wasn't for that foolish young man, whom she thought was taken out of the fight, she would had, maybe succeeded.

On her faltering fours legs, she looked around for her dagger. She didn't have to look very long, when she saw it right beside her, impaled in some oak. She enclosed her mouth over the handle and forcefully pulled out of it's wooden prison. She walked over to the Knight and the Deku scrub, eying them with rather peeved, yet calm eyes. "So do you have a plan, or do you want to foolishly taunt it, or throw walnuts at it? Because, those worked well before." she said, sarcastically.

[General Onox]

Slightly irritated was the mood of the Dark General right now, although the emotion was only linked to his current inability to locate the objective. Whilst he had previously been almost sure he was close, Onox this time knew that it was pretty much right by him. He could almost feel it, as if it was calling out for him to find it. Having moved through the trees once more and sent more toppling in all directions as he attempted to clear the area, he would draw to a halt as he reached another clearing, which aroused his suspicions greatly as he looked ahead to the other side, spotting what appeared to be some form of ancient structure standing out amongst the undergrowth. His mouth curved into a sinister smile.

It would appear as though he might have found what he was looking for.

Turning back to see what had come of his so-called ‘opponents’, it amused Onox somewhat to see that they had suffered from their dismissal. However, they were quite stubborn and were apparently had no signs of either slowing or stopping their attempts at stopping him; the human knight in particular seemed rather intent on knowing exactly what the titan was after, having asked him on numerous occasions. His attitude towards Onox disgusted the Dark General, finding the audacity of Seayn to be quite offensive. It was indeed Seayn again who led the next attack, although the Deku was doing its best to keep up. The girl had thankfully appeared to take a time out, which pleased Onox somewhat; who would prefer for her to stay out of harm’s way for the duration of this battle. That said, she had almost caused the General quite a problem, her invisibility had been a clever tactic and if it Onox had not possessed another method of sensing the presence of those around him, she may have done some serious damage.

This close to achieving his target, Onox was unappreciative of the fact that they were again going to distract him, especially now that he had all but retrieved it himself. Rather than move straight towards the structure behind him, he would ensure that they would be unable to reach him directly, giving him the time to examine his discovery and possibly, hopefully, he would obtain what he was looking for. Alternatively, rather than obstruct them, he could just use the attack to end them all completely, which would satisfy him more.

Another whirlwind would be summoned between the Dark General and the rushing opponents, wide enough to ensure anyone would have to make a wide arc around it in order to avoid it, being as it was almost a dozen yards in diameter, again causing trees to almost instantly become uprooted, ripped from the ground completely to add to the carnage. Remembering the group’s failure to deal with this only moments ago with a satisfied smile, Onox released the whirlwind towards the rushing Seayn and Miff with a final comment for them.

”You have made interesting play toys, but I cannot allow you to interfere any longer!

This will be the end for you!"

Effectively throwing the whirlwind at them, Onox bellowed with laughter before then turning back towards the structure. It was no more than what appeared to be the top of a building; with golden blocks marking what appeared to be some form of ruined building from ages past, now left buried beneath the overgrowth of thorns and vines in the middle of this clearing. Not that they posed much obstruction to Onox, who easily began trampling over them as he made his way towards the ruins, instantly spotting a large stone slab that appeared to be concealing something.

Raising a foot, Onox stamped down on the stone, crushing through it instantly to unveil a stairwell leading downwards into darkness. The General smiled gleefully. It was unmistakable, this feeling he got from within the ruins.

He could now clearly sense it.

[MIFF]

Undeterred by the second storm of violent winds that was heading right at him Miff charged and jumped head-first into the tornado without a second thought. Miff's light body was easily caught on the outer rim of the winds where they were the weakest and began to get spun around the perimeter while picking up speed again, just like the last time. This time, however, in addition to a propeller spinning on his head for stabilization, the Mad Scrub's little wooden belly was also noticeably swollen. As he was pulled around to the side in the general direction of Onox and before he was pulled too deep into where the winds were stronger Miff pointed himself back the way he'd come and released an Air Puff. This powerful little puff effectively added to his current momentum before the winds "turned" him in the cycle and jetted the Mad Scrub backwards out of the whirlwind and shot it through the air toward Onox and his new discovery.

The Deku turned in midair and landed with a few rolls along the forest floor but nothing that would really hurt. In what seemed like no time at all he was back to his feet and charging at the General of Darkness, who was apparently now so terrified of Miff that he was trying to hide in some old building. With good reason too, for this determined Deku was now out for blood. If the titan descended into the temple thing then Miff would scurry right into it after him without hesitation.

Something as simple as a tornado wasn't going to keep the Mad Marksman from his target!

[Kinsley]

Kinsley followed the two who were left, the young knight and the tiny Deku, as they traveled back to face the Dark General, so called itself. She was rather surprised that the creature had some intelligence. She might need to remember that, when making out her next plan, which she was while talking with the two. She knows that somehow, the behemoth could sense her, even with her invisibility. But what stuck her as strange about it, was that it could had harmed her much more worse than he could have. He knocked her away, so gently, for his size.

What was his reason for doing that? She wondered in her mind. Suddenly, she could feel her body shifting inside. She was in her Animal Form for quite awhile, so it was about time that she had reach her limit in that form. In an instant, her body returned to to normal. "Ah, it was fun while it lasted." She said while looking and admiring her humanoid body. The masked woman glances at the young knight. "I still doubt you have a plan to win against that behemoth. But luckily for you, you have a Bandit Queen, such as myself to help you for a small fee of course." She giggled at the knight. Of course she knows by telling him of her "job" that he might try to bring her to his so-called justice. Psh! Justice? That word can have so many interpretations.

Son they found the Dark General by some old ruins covered with the wear and tear of time. Before they can reach the Titan, he was aware of their presence, just like before, and planned to put an end to their pursuit of him, by releasing another powerful whirlwind. Quickly, Kinsley ran and separated herself from the two, and let them get caught up in it. She wasn't going to get herself trapped in another cyclone of air. "I'll come up with the plan, while you guys continue to be good decoys!" She shouted, as she hid herself by a fallen tree

[Seayn]

Seayn was moderately amused by the little deku's threat toward him. He had already seen how effective the little things attacks were. It appeared that he wasn't going to wait for a response from the armored human though. He had already dashed off, jumping into the whirlwind with his propeller stabilizing himself. That was an interesting tactic. The small plant man seemed to swell before expelling air that shot him out of the cyclone into a position where he could continue to harass Onox. What a courageous being. Despite the fact that he dwarfed the deku, and the general dwarfed him, he still came at him head on. It wasn't likely that he was going to be able to even moderately annoy this titan yet Seayn had no doubt that he wouldn't stop until he succeeded or he was crushed... although he wasn't sure if the little one knew it was possible for him to be crushed.

The young human warrior had more warning that it was coming this time, so he was more ready to react to the winds that came swirling his way. He sprinted off to the side, running with all the speed that he could muster. He tripped, skidding for a moment on his face before he began scrambling away from the large whirlwind. He spluttered loudly, attempting to get dirt and grass out of his mouth as he scampered away. It tasted horribly honestly, distracting him from getting out of the way slightly. "Come back, you're gonna get hurt!" He wished that someone this strong could be on his side, yet with the title Dark General, he knew that it was very unlikely for him to be doing something benevolent. He let out a heavy sigh, wishing that he had some plan to stop this powerful being.

[General Onox]

[OOC: Thought we’d give Enzair time to actually make a post rather than miss a third consecutive turn, but it seems he’s unable to. The show must go on.]

---

As the group would begin their chase after the Dark General, with both Miff and Seayn able to negotiate their way around the devastatingly high speed winds that were obstructing their paths, they would spot their opponent just as he had vanished from view down the staircase, now on his way through the underground tunnels as he followed the faint signs of his target, moving more quickly than he had done previously as he hurried to retrieve it. Knowing that the group behind would be hot on his heels, whilst not knowing that Enzair and Kinsley had apparently decided to hang back and allow the more heroic of the group to confront him, Onox was aware that time would be short before he would need to turn back and dispose of them.

Stopping as he reached a crossroad in the tunnels, the General paused as he sensed around for possible hints. It would not take him long to feel what he was looking for however, as an unmistakable cold wind blew across from his right, even causing the titan to shudder slightly from the temperature. Chuckling quietly, Onox would turn in its direction as he followed after it, still dragging the flail behind him as he eagerly moved onwards. Even after a couple of metres had been travelled down the tunnel, the temperature dropped drastically, an eerily harsh wind blowing through in addition. It was almost as if winter had suddenly fallen within the ruins, Onox noticed signs of ice having slowly crept along the walls he was passing, and getting thicker and thicker the further he proceeded.

He had almost reached it, acknowledging this a sinister mutter.

”Soon… soon you will be mine!”

[Seayn]

Seayn had successfully navigated his way around the twister, quite happy with this fact, he charged onwards. He had seen General Onox disappear down some stairway out here. How unusual that the dark general had found such a thing here... Obviously he was closing in upon whatever he was searching for and the young knight couldn't allow that. He knew that Onox wasn't here for benevolent reasons, so whatever this thing he was looking for, had to be kept out of his grasp. "BANDIT QUEEN! We may have our differences after this but try to go steal whatever this guy's trying to get! Little one, shoot for his eye holes, his mouth, anything his armor doesn't cover!" Seayn shouted before attempting to traverse down the stairs and into the tunnels. The tremendous sound of the titan walking through this area wasn't very pleasant, it hurt his ears with the resounding boom each footstep made. It would be unlikely the giant would hear them coming.

The young human began to feel as if his armor was biting into his flesh with the cold that it amplified. Only moments before, out in the sun, he'd been sweating in the heat. Seayn wished he had brought a light, that would have been very useful here, yet it didn't appear to be that hard to follow Onox. The knight wannabe saw the general stop at the crossroads for a moment. His heart leapt for joy for a moment, feeling that this was the moment for him to attack. He had to stop him, had to distract him. He could only think of one way that might make him stop for a moment. "COWARD! Turn and fight! You claim to be powerful yet all you do is flee! KILL ME, if you can!" Seayn shouted at the top of his lungs, the challenge being funneled towards the gigantic Onox by benefit of the tunnel.

The young human wouldn't stop his charge though, he would come at full speed at the mountain of a man, ready to slam his shield into the back of the general's knee, hopefully to stumble him at least. Adding insult to injury would hopefully lead to the general's honor being wounded to an extent that he would try to kill him. Great plan, idiot. Seayn mentally spat at himself, a plan that would probably lead to his demise in a rather foolish manner. He could only hope that with their combined efforts, the quick minish, the valiant deku, and himself, they could bring this dark being's plans crashing to the ground.

[Zafun Strider]

[With Enzair and Kins out to pasture, that means two free slots does it not?]

A brown flash arrived on the scene just as he caught a party of two chasing after a great armored beast, into an opening in the ground. "Huh."

[/color] He murmured, taking in the devastation of the area from under his hat. He spit a toothpick out to the side, and sped forward giving chase through the temple, hot on the trio's heels, pursuing the pursuers.

His presence was unspoken until he inevitably caught up with the group.[/blockquote]

[MIFF]

Miff did indeed faintly hear Seayn's instructions from back outside before the knight followed the Deku into it. Being the only one to take the... um... "direct" route through the tornado Miff had easily reached the ruins first and charged after Onox at full steam. The rapid decrease in temperature as he ventured in did momentarily slow down the plant creature in a rather unfair way, though. Unfair as far as he was concerned, that is.

'Stupid human... thinks I don't know how to aim...' Miff thought with spite. He was the greatest marksman who ever lived! That guy was definitely going to get it later. But first came the giant man. 'Now I know he's running scared. He thinks I'll leave him alone because of the cold down here, huh? Well he's crazy if he thinks a little cold will stop me!'

And indeed Miff's pace did pick up again. Pushed forward by the sheer strength of the anger he felt at his power being challenged the Mad Scrub managed to bring the General in sight fairly quickly.

'Dodge this!' Miff taunted in his mind(His mouth was busy or else he'd have done it verbally of course) as a Deku Bubble formed from his mouth spout. It was sent spinning through the air down the tunnel at titan's back, but it wasn't the only thing. Hoping to see how Onox would dodge, if he did at all, Miff fired another Deku Bubble at his legs once that movement or lack thereof could be accounted for.

Seayn arrived quickly afterward and started yelling, whom Miff would ignore until the bigger foe was toppled. Maybe the knight would get lucky and Miff's bubbles would have at least slowed the thing down a bit more? Luck hadn't exactly seemed to be on the errant knight's side today, though. If his bad luck ended up impacting Miff's accuracy by association then that was just another reason to whup that human's butt after this was all done!

The Mad Scrub was actually feeling pretty good about the new environment, despite the cold. In here a man as big as his current target had less room to maneuver than in a huge forest in which trees posed little hindrance. Less room other than in the directions of straight back and forth, that is. That thought pretty much ignored how bad it could be if Onox used that to come straight at him, but Miff always ignored such things.

[Kinsley]

[HEY! I'm still in this!]

After the whirlwind blew farther away, Kinsley quickly ran over to the entrance of ancient ruins while trying her best to avoid what was left of the twister. She approached the knight's back, willing to use him as a meat shield once more. Sure, she knew how cowardly it was, but she didn't care as long as she was still alive for another day to steal from some nobles. Her rosy lips folded into a smirk, when the young knight gave her an idea to steal from that dark general.

"My, that is a great idea! That creature ought to have something of value."

She then remembered that general had blown all the trees around, meaning that the sack of stolen valuables she had hid in a hollow log will be very hard to find now with more fallen trees everywhere.
She let out a heavy sigh at the thought of having to go back and try to find it later. But, she didn't steal for money, but rather the sport of it. Although, she is rather peeved though. At least she'll have the chance for payback.

As she stepped down the stairs with the people who remained, she could feel the coldness of the air wrapping around her slender frame. She had wished that she still in her Animal Form. At least her fur coat would keep her warmer than a linen shirt and bodice. She could feel something about to erupt from the back of her nose and mouth. And suddenly she made a squeaky, yet tiny sneeze.

"Ahhhh... POOSH!"

While continuing their trek through the tunnels of the temple, they had finally caught the dark general by a split path. She examines the giant from afar. She can see he is about to take the route to right. Possibly meaning that whatever he is searching for might be there. The knight begun his plan, he rushed at the dark general and she followed him closely behind. While they were busy, she takes the chance for an attempt to slip past the giant and run into the path to the right.

[General Onox]

Apparently Enzair has indeed quit this thread, not sure about the forum, and he was skipped too many times anyways, so there is a slot open which Zafun can fill. In future, could you drop a PM first to ask if you could jump in rather than just doing so?

---

As Onox had turned the corridor, he was somewhat entertained by the fact that it had yet to occur to his pursuers that he was more than able to sense their presence whilst they were chasing him and was therefore able to react if needed to. Knowing that Seayn had launched a rush attack behind him, as well as Kinsley attempting to get close enough to sneak past him, even in her animal form. What was even more amusing was their attempts to rush through were surely going to limit the angle the Deku had with his shots in such a narrow corridor. Teamwork it seemed was beyond this group.

Not that the Dark General had any qualms about this, he had now found what he was looking for and only had to move forward and grab it, he could spend a brief moment dealing with these weaklings now he had all but completed his objective. Turning back before any of them could get too close and before Miff was able to get enough distance with his shots, Onox would swing the flail upwards towards the ceiling of the tunnel, the impact of which would cause that segment to collapse and cave in, blocking the paths of the pursuers as he quickly stepped backwards to ensure he avoided the falling debris himself. Miff’s attacks would unfortunately strike the rubble as it fell, the Dark General having ensured he escaped his attacks this time.

None of them were close enough to be hurt or threatened by the collapse, as Onox had clearly turned around the corner and onwards before any of them had indeed gotten close enough. However, the blockade would take them a brief amount of time to clear, thankfully for them the rubble was small enough for them to shift bit by bit and they would probably only waste half a minute or so clearing enough of a gap for them all to slip through. This however would give Onox enough time to proceed to his goal and take what was his.

Moving forward into a chamber at the end of this stretch of tunnel whilst the others would reach the blockade and begin shifting the rubble, which opened up into what appeared a marvellous winter wonderland. The chamber was a beautifully sculpted alter room, which was now entirely covered with ice, glowing magnificently from the light provided by a large hole in the ground above, which gave a clear view of the horizons in the distance upon reaching the alter itself, which Onox proceeded to do so himself, moving up the stairs to the alter as he saw his target.

"There you are..."

[Zafun Strider]

The brown blur, with dark eyes peering from beneath the brim of his pseudo-Kakariko style cowboy hat did everything he could to evaluate the presence he was following in the little time he had. A webbed hand reached back and grabbed the neck of his weapon, while the golden monstrosity brought his flail up to smash down on the passage way before continuing along his path.

One way or the other, it was clear who the underdogs were. His hands resonated with electrical energy, powering up the guitar just as the first rocks began to fall. "Might stand back kids. It's about to get loud." He plucked a shark tooth from his necklace, and slid it between his fingers, sliding on his knees between the members of the group while they ran, the first rocks hitting the floor. Great White pressed into his lap, he swept the strings and a blast of sound amplified by tremendous means launched falling debris down the tunnel at Onox himself, while making the wait time for the party almost negligible. "Don't think twice! You better keep running!" Though it was unclear whether that was a threat tossed in Onox's direction, or encouragement to the band of three behind him.

The underdogs were hot on his trail, nipping at his heels.

[Half-turn version of Bio-Electric Riffing used to blast away the debris as they fell, sending them at Onox's back. Rest of turn used to chase after big-guy.]
