Perilous Beauty

[R-iZZy]

As Jade swept her hand through the fire, a hand darted out and grabbed her by the wrist! The hand pulled Jade in, trying to burn her in the flames. But instead, he shot his whole body out and kicked her in the stomach.

"No... more... GAMES!!!" Rex yelled.

"Holy sh*t!" Stealth yelled.

Rex pulled out his handgun and shot a flury of bullets in iritation and aggravation. The bullets sprayed all about, and Stealth grabbed Tiger, throwing his blood body on his partner's figure to protect her from the bullets. The bullets attacked his shell, and Stealth sat wondering when the attack would be over.

"How many times must I die for you to follow?" Rex yelled! "Well, I won't give you an ultimatum of either dying or trying... this time YOU ALL WILL DIE!!!"

[Storm Wolf]

"Stealth....your...crushing....me...." Tiger gasped, the little stones and pebbles were digging into her arms "Guess it's better than being shot though..." She added

Jade came up off her one knee the pain in her gut was lessining "Now you've really gone and p*ssed me off!" she clapped her hands, sending a bolt of electricity towards Rex.

[R-iZZy]

Rex sharply turned his head to the bolt and darted out of its way. He tumble across the floor from the explosion, and shot a flury of bullets at Jade. "Cheap tricks from cheap tramps!"

Rex smiled, as the bullets closed in on Jade.

[Storm Wolf]

Jade waved her hand instantly bringing up an intense wall of flames that melted the spray of bullets on contact "ha...cheap tricks!"

[R-iZZy]

"Cheap tricks versus classical scams..." Rex said. "Get with the program, my dear! Do not preassume the outcome when your facts are but a mere fault!"

Rex charged after Jade in the blink of an eye. He quickly spun around in mid-air and threw a foot at his enemy, attempting to connect with the face of Jade.

[Storm Wolf]

Jade predicticted the oncoming attack, even though it was to quick for her eyes to see. She tried side-stepping the attack, but Rex's foot struck her shoulder, popping it out of place. Jade stared towards Rex "Ouch.." he words lacked emotion and tone, using her other free hand she replaced the shoulder to its proper position.

"Stealth...maybe we should retreat while thoes two are beatin' each others brains out..." Tiger hesitated wondering if Stealth would agree to her idea.

[R-iZZy]

"Damn, you must've forgot that I'm hit..." Stealth warned. "Pick me up, and we can get the hell outta here, okay Tiger?"

Rex threw a flury of uppercuts to Jade's chin. After the attack of uppercuts, he spun around and shoved a foot in Jade's stomach, causing her to fly backward. "You want to counter me? HAHAHA... you're too slow to even catch up to me!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger wormed out from beneath Stealth, she rolled him onto his back and pulled him up by his hands "Alright you'll have to walk with me here...that bullet to the bum severed some of the muscle in my leg...I can still walk on it, but with difficulty."

Jade picked herself up off the ground and smirked "Yes...I am slow, but I have battled thoes 10 times as fast as you..." She growled. Jade lifted her her hands to the sky, chanting some old spell. A lightning bolt flew from the sky striking her in her place "ah...much better.....now you maybe be able to hit me but every time you do, you'll get the shock of your life....!"

[R-iZZy]

"I wouldn't mind sacrifing my pain to cause you even more!" Rex said. "For what is a little pain when you have nothing to live for but the death of others."

Stealth slowed pulled himself up, and tried looking after himself for Rex at the same time. Stealth was finally on a knee, as he was assisted in his getting up.

Rex darted at Jade and rammed a shoulder in her stomach, but took the shock at the same time and flew back some few feet. He didn't mind the shock at all. Though he screamed in pain at contact, he liked it!

[Storm Wolf]

"If all you live for is the pain and death of others than you need to get a life, pal!" Jade picked herself up off the ground "You think your the only one who delights in pain?" She quivered a bit her stomach was killing her but she couldn't let her enemy know that. come on you two get outta here already she thought to herself, she had caught on to thier plans.

"Stealth keep your mind on geting outta here, it isn't like you could see him if he came after you anyways....he's much to fast now..." She kept her voice low "How could I have gotten myself into something so deep....I'm such a foolish girl..."

[R-iZZy]

Stealth grabbed Tiger by the collar and pulled her face to his, "You're no foolish girl, Rex is just too much for the both of us. Think about it... this guy has actually got me down. Of all people... me! Don't blame yourself for Rex's skill, he is just far too much for any creature to handle. By the way, what about that big tiger lookin' fella? We gotta check on him!"

Stealth inched his way off the ground, and began to stumble around, trying to reach the balcony of Tiger.

Rex stared at Jade for a long time and noticed a slight expression in his eyes. It wasn't visible to the naked eye, but he was the type to know expressions, he's seen them all. "I have a life, fair lady... yours! And it will soon belong to limbo! There is no need to lie to me, woman! I can sense the pain in your soul. Your stomach churns in pain. It can't stand the fact that it's enduring so much from such a 'lifeless' fool." Rex chuckled, after wiping his brow. "I came for Stealth, now I must settle with two wenches. Fine by me!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger shifted her weight to one side "Yeah...I suppose your right...."

Jade laughed for no other reason than to shrug of Rex's words "And if you are so strong, why do you wish to end Stealth's life....he is no threat to you."

[R-iZZy]

Rex sneered at Jade, "What I do is of my business and none of your own. Stealth may be no threat to me, but he is etched in the back of my mind like the commandments on stone. Stealth is no threat, assuredly. But I must destroy what I have created. Not for your sake, but for my own!"

[Storm Wolf]

"What you created...I am in doubt that anything could be as black hearted as you...even Stealth!" Jade shook her head "What could have possibly gone wrong in your life to make you this cold?" She didn't expect an answer, but still she asked.

[R-iZZy]

"Must I reiterate myself?" Rex began. "What seems to be my business is none of your concern. What should be your concern is staying alive. My heart may be black as the night, but it continues to go on like the putrid civilization of human beings. Stealth was supposed to be dead a long time ago."

Rex pulled out a sword, light reflecting off the metallic blade in the night sky. "I made hence of his eye," Rex continued. "I intend on adding you to that endless list of casualties!"

[Storm Wolf]

Jade did not pull her weapon "I see...your just p*ssed off because Stealth has more than you...as do the humans..." She was trying her best to stall him with words.

"I don't know how much longer Jade can last..." Tiger had reached her balcony "Perhaps I can try something a friend taught me to bring Enya back...it's dangerous, but we need all the help we can get..."

[R-iZZy]

"You know, you're real good with names," Stealth said, as he reached the next balcony with Tiger. "Anyway... tell me, what can we do to get to this Enya? And how do we take care of this situation?"

"You truly attempt to put tears to my eye," Rex began, "But you can only accomplish that with the boredom you give me. You should think twice before trying to tangle with strangers. I guess you seemed to have let that slip out of your mind." Rex stared at the blade and smirked. "I can sense a plan from you.............. you're stalling me. I don't like that!"

[Storm Wolf]

"Well...it's just one of the many talents I have..." Tiger replied "Anyways this method requires deep meditation...I'll be entering the Big Cats mind...I've never done it before so it might be a bit difficult..." She paused to think "I figure if I destroy Kaviks mind from the inside, he'll no longe exist on the outside....but if thats true, the same gose for me as well...."

Jade narrowed her eyes, nothing got past this guy, she nedded to clear her mind compleatly and show no signs of intent. "Well then quit stalling yourself and fight you wretch!" She brought forth her own enchanted blade

[R-iZZy]

"What? Now why would you wanna do a thing like that?" Stealth began. "It's not like we really had that close of a relationship to the big ol kitty. Why care all of a sudden? It's not like Jade has done us any favors, except give you a surprise of whoever it was being your mother."

Rex swung his sword to the ground, and halted as the top of the blade just touched the ground. He signalled for Jade's end, as he made a throat-slashing gesture. He approached Jade in normal speed and vertically swung his sword, but he knew that this attack would only amount to a block, "Wretch am I? Do not tell me what it takes to be a king... you are but a dunce, you wench!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger paused for a moment "Have you ever made a decision based on gut instinct and not on anger?" She sighed "I dunno, but I just have this feeling that this is something I've gotta do..." She turned head slightly to face Stealth "Besides we could use the bait...err...I mean help....I said help right?" Tiger knew it was a bad time for humor, but she was trying reasure Stealth as well as herself.

"A king must have a kindome, and people to rule...No one would ever want to live under the rule of such a tyrant!" she growled "Besides...you could never earn such a title in your lifetime!" she pressed against his blade with her own.
