Animal Knights 2010/10/08 	 Bard Emerdir Harlequin Rakshasa Titan 2

The Bear Knight lumbers towards Titan and tries to grab him from behind.

Titan grunts a little bit as he's squeezed. "Boosted your strength there, big guy?"

Flying above the city, Imaginary Girl happens to be in town, again, and is flying patrol over the city... when she spots, at a distance, the brawl that's happening over near the Yacht Club, she picks up speed and heads that way!

Bard shakes his head. Every time you turn around in these places someone has enhanced something and all that jazz. Can't anyone just talk these things out? Either way he pops next to Rakshasa. "Good to see you showing your true colors." he grins as he looks at the prone knight. Aiming down from about he snaps his fingers an a crack of sonic energy shots at the lion knight.

The blast hits the Lion Knight solidly in his side, lifting him from the pavement the depositing him 14 meters down the road. The Lion Knight slumps down, unconscious.

Rakshasa sniffs haughtily, "Hmmph. I could have taken him all by myself."

Lion Knight's armor fades away into dust and slowly he morphs back into an unconscious lion.

Bard smiles to Rakshasa. "Ah, Rakky. I'm sorry, would you want a hug to make it up?" He says very playfully.

Rakshasa pouts

Rakshasa flickers and reappears next to one of the monkeys, standing back on her feet. Sparks of blue and gold crackle down both her arms as large ethereal claws manifest around her hands. She casually tries to backhand one of the monkeys, "Get your hands off Titan, you damn dirty ape!" She snickers, "I always wanted to say that!"

Bard retorts. "I don't think that's the line... or an ape."

Rakshasa curses as Bard's comment cause her blow to go astray and just barely glance the monkey.

Emerdir points to Lorelei and commands the Monkey: "See to it that the Princess stays out of this matter!" The Monkey Knights leap to the task, one of them blinding Lorelei for the moment with a faceful of restaurant pepper. The other leaps at Rakshasa.

The Monkey Knight vaults over Rakshasa's head and manages to loop his tail around Rakshasa's outstretch claw arm. He lands behind her and attempts to throw her into a nearby lamppost.

Bard winces and hopes he doesn't catch too much flack for this later. But an idea occures, but he doubts it'll work, especially how these are all dressed.

Rakshasa is flung into the lampost, but otherwise unharmed. "OK. Now. I'm. A. Little. Upset."

Bard does a whimper like chuckle, he's sure he'll cathc flak from Rak now.

The Monkey Knight screeches at Rakshasa, bouncing about with his hands in the air.

The Dog Knight rights himself and standing in front of the grabbed Titan. He stands tall and tries to pummel Titan with body punches.

Titan gets hit again by the dog, "Someone get these goofs off of me. I have to go fight the honorless noble over there." He makes sure it's a nice and loud statement...one that Emerdir can hear.

Harlequin steps up to the Dog Knight and tries to place a hand on him. A soft green light suffuses his hand as the living scent of plants, musk and water fills the area briefly. He murmurs, "Down boy. Good Rex."

Clang, clang, clang. The Dog Knight's armor falls to ground as he shrinks and reverts to the form of a normal German Shepherd. The dog barks, turns, and begins to run off into the night.

Harlequin looks at Titan as he bows slightly. "Your wish is my, well, my wish as well."

Titan chuckles. "Thanks. I appreciate it."

The werewolf didn't seem to pay any attention to Rakshasa's comments about not needing help and instead follows after the lion knight, attempting to slug it a second time, though the sudden change of the dog back to.. a dog.. makes her twitch like this: u.u

Aika didn't seem to pay any attention to Rakshasa's comments about not needing help and instead goes after the bear that's trying to hug Titan.

Aika's blow thuds heavily into the Bear Knight's bulky frame. The Bear is knocked four meters down the sidewalk, and he drags Titan along with him.

The Bear Knight lumbers to his feet and turns back towards Aika. He lowers his shoulder and tries to run right through her.

Emerdir looks over at Harlequin. "This is interesting," he says, focusing on Harlequin. He takes a step towards Harlequin and fades from sight. He reappears in the blink of an eye, right in front of Harlequin, while slipping his sword from its scabbard. He lunges and tries to run Harlequin through with his sword point.

Rakshasa's Monkey Knight leaps up to her and tries to rain down with punches.

Harlequin slips to one side as the sword slices through his cloak. "Temper, temper, my little lordling," he chides in a mocking tone.

The other Monkey Knight leaps at Bard, balances on his tail and tries to kick Bard with both feet.

Rakshasa glares at the monkey as she slides down the pavement, "Ok. That's it no more Ms. Nice Demon."

Bard catches the monkey in his sight at the last second and moves the monkey going past him slightly.

Imaginary Girl picks out Lorelei, a woman known to her, admist all the others down there. Pausing a moment, she then then dives down out of the sky, leading with her fists as she flies down at Emerdir!

Imaginary Girl's attack is worthless, easily dodged by the bad guy.

Bard chuckles, as the monkey lands next to him, doing a move which looks more like a dance move more than a real attack, but at the same time has the look as though it was a well trained kick. There is a blue energy swirling it and makes a loud bass boom at the end of the kick (or contact which ever is first)

The monkey screeches as Bard's kick knock from being balance on his tail to flat on his back in the street.

Rakshasa gets to her feet and crack her neck, "Ok. You're just a dumb animal that doesn't know what you're doing." She takes a deep breath as her energy claws fade away. Sparks arc back down her right arm as she creates an energy spike. She spins and hurls it a Emerdir, You, however, I can beat up without feeling even a tiny bit bad!"

The lance of energy spins Emerdir. With a graceful twist, he manage to keep his balance, turning a full circle and finish with his feet spread and his off hand on the ground too. He grimages as he straighten up, drawing in his off hand to hold his ribs where the blast struck him.

Rakshasa smiles lazily, "I wonder why freaks from other dimensions think they can just waltz into my city and cause trouble. It really kind of pisses me off."

Bard nods to Rakky. "Yeah, kinda pisses us off. And when in the presence of such royalty. The king of Ass kicking Titan, Misstress of misguiding, Lorelei, the Devilishly charming Thumper, and let's not forget our never the lesser Harlequinn Jester."

Titan stands up, and looks to Emerdir, "You're focusing on the wrong things, clearly." He then leaps into the air, arcing upward, and attempts to land on Emerdir.

Emerdir spins, vanishing into thin air and reappearing just beyond the impact crater of Titan's attack.

Titan just misses Emerdir, and the pavement cracks around him. He looks up at the fae noble, "I'm picturing the end of Rob Roy. Seen it?"

Harlequin steps up to the Monkey Knight that Bard knocked down. He's glowing with the same mystical energy that he exhibited before.

The Monkey Knight shrinks and disappears into his own armor. A bewildered monkey sticks his head out of the breast plate and looks around.

The Bear Knight comes to his master's aid. He rushes up behind Titan and tries to hit him with a clawed hand, balled into a fist.

Titan is sent sailing, and bounces on the pavement once. He's actually...chuckling as he comes to a stop. "Aww...can't fight his own battles. Figures. I guess that means he isn't suited to be a king, then."

Bard moves up to the obvious leader. "Yeah, take it from the king of song, this is a different league you're in." He states to the fae noble throwing another dance like strike.

Emerdir stumbles backward and trips over a crack in the Titan-cratered pavement; he lands on his back. "I wouldn't spare you the dignity of a fair fight!" he calls over to Titan. "I am a noble. What are you?" He turns towards Bard and repeats: "What are you!"

Titan chuckles. "Oh...I'm far from common. And I come from a very...noble lineage." He is of course...delusional. But that's beside the point.

Bard chortles. "I am the king of music, the flow of the winds embraces me." He grins. "Pleasure."

Meanwhile the remaining Monkey Knight tries to coil his tail around Rakshasa's legs.

The monkey's tail cinches tightly around Rakshasa legs. While she's immobilized, he jumps up and punches her in the back.

Rakshasa jabs her thumb at her chest, "And if you had been *listening*, would know I am Rakshasa, Demon of the Ni---" she squawks in an undignified manner as the monkey behind her grabs and monkey punches her. She grits her teeth and continues, trying to ignore the monkey on her back, "Night, Bane of Men, Devourer of Souls, The Great Deceiver."

Bard chuckles. "You might want to try the line again Rak." He smiles.

Rakshasa flickers and reappears next to Emerdir, leaving the monkey knight behind, "Ahem. As I was saying. I am Rakshasa, Demon of the Night, Bane of Men, Devourer of Souls, The Great Deceiver. Normally I'd add something about trembling your mortal fool, but I gather the mortal bit doesn't apply to you." Sparks arc down both her arms as she forms her energy claws. She smiles brightly, Let's see if we change that, OK!?"

Emerdir grunts as Rakshasa's energy claws bite into his armor. He's knocked further away, where he struggles to get back up.

Harlequin turns his head to look over at the Bear Knight. A faint chill rises as a dark grey light lances from his eyes and upturned palms towards the creature.

Harlequin shakes his head as the grey light envelops the Bear Knight causing its muscles to seize up and immobilize it. "Sorry Father Bear, but you need to stop."

The Bear Knight remains frozen.

Emerdir stands up and surveys the battlefield. "You and your friends have defeated my animal warriors... you're not as hopeless as thought... Still, I refuse to relinquish my claim to Lorelei. I would travel to the ends of the existance for her. I hope, for your own sake, that you're willing to do the same..." He pirouettes, and by the time he's made his second revolution, he's vanished from site.

The Bear Knight and the remaining Monkey Knight both shift back to their original forms.

Rakshasa rolls her eyes, "We should get Lorelei to take us to La-La Land with her, so we can beat that guy up in his home. Maybe he'd get the idea then."

Titan shakes his head, and stands up. "I guess I'm confused about the rules on this whole 'challenge' thing. He breaks the rules...turns it into an all out melee, and then refuses to admit he was beaten?"

Titan chuckles. "He'll be travelling a lot, perhaps to the ends of existance, if he keeps running away like that."

Bard smirks. "Noblitiy, go figure. Only playing by the rules whne it helps... like cheats at cards."

Limpet reverts back to his security guard uniform and faints.

Bard gives Titan a thumbs up. "And if you keep like that even father."

Rakshasa shrugs, "If he beat us, he wins, if he runs away, he can claim we didn't win. Either way as far as he's concerned he can't lose."

Rakshasa gets and evil smile, "Ooh. Maybe I could turn into Lorelei, let him take me away, and then make his life a living hell until he relents."

Titan chuckles. "As long as it isn't a fae-like illusion, you might fool him."

Rakshasa hmphs, "My power is flawless! I'd fool his own mother!"

Titan smiles. "Not what I meant. The fae can see through their own kinds of illusions."

Bard smiles Lore's got some 'splainin' to do..."

Harlequin smiles slightly and walks over to the incrdible Mr Limpet. He kneels next to him and gently slaps his face. "Hello? Mr Limpet? Wakey wakey, time to take the animals home. They need baths."

Titan raises a brow, "What do you mean?"

Bard says, "I kinda wandered on teh fae trip, so I'm not 100% on everything..."

Limpet wakes up, convinced that he just had the strangest dream.

Titan nods. "She's been pretty straightforward, actually. And quite frankly, her mother is quite nice."

Bard pouts. "Would have liked to have met her. Also wasn't around after the start."

Harlequin leans down so his mask in in front of Limpet

Harlequin leans down so he is Limpet's fied of view. "With us again, sir?"

Titan chuckles, "You may still get a chance to meet her, if we have to go there, and kick this guy's butt again."

Bard smiles, his fist pulsing with energy again. "Well I think I did a decent enough job."

Titan nods. "It worked out alright, all things considered. The animals and the zoo guy were more or less unharmed by the end, and the noble ran off."

Bard smirks "Jealous of what id did back there?"

Titan raises a brow, "Why would I be jealous?"

Bard says, "Smackon teh guy who was hittin' on Lorelei?""
