[Sigh if some1 doesn't post soon, I've no idea what will happen to this tread later..]

Dai took the leadership over Ryousuke and all the doppels "Formation Directo!" All of them took their positions surrounding a single vanguard at all directions but also keeping themselves from a safe distance at the same time. Bex was busy with Mortanus who seemingly is a match for only him. Daisuke and Ryou had some problems with the annoying Villepci who uses mirage. Every of Daisuke and Ryousuke started taking all different sorts of forms and some same as another. Within this formation, there was 5 within it's range of view whereas the other 5 were at blind spots would be what Villepci would suspect.

They were all silent with blank eyes 2 from the front came charging in jumping high up with their leg in slicer form though this is quite a surprised as it's the first time anyone seen Overdrive used on the legs so the form is slightly different, it was largers and longer in size as well in terms of power since they both were striking Villepci from high up causing their legs to have a high potential of impact when struck with a static wave going through the nerve. If Villepci make a move to avoid or hit away the two doppels without moving, one of the doppel will ambush Villepci while his focus was away towards the two up above. If Villepci ignores the two in the air like they would be nothing, Villepci would be ambushed from below the grounds with chains binding him up.Villepci would be unable to move and receive statics flowing into him giving a headache with the chance of the strike to be more accurate.

Even if Villepci is able to counter both attempts, something else planned might happen or left for the others handle with it. Daisuke and Ryousuke weren't in the mood right this moment but they wouldn't rush in like a mad person without planning an idea for counter-measures. They were already set to make another move if Villepci is able to do something else but doubt that so..

OOC:Sorry waiting for Pyoh....
The golems she created all lined up one by one. Maybe if we use their haughtiness against them, maybe Nhieling is already planning that. I think he is setting up Dai and Ryou as decoys, and the rest of defendTaurou until he finishes charging. But I doubt that same tactic will work twice if he misses. Ugh.... What are we going to go! Alice hurried up in making golems as she watched the on-going fight.

The vanguard started getting annoyed, even through the attack of the puppet didn't do more than scratching his armor, they were progresively getting closer to the weak point of the armor. As his position was clean to everyone, he just broke the illusion and then start rushing over the main groupe, ignoring Daisuke et and Ryousuke. In direction of what seem to be the only danger right now, the huge amount of energy that Taurou were storing.




Prevent him from crossing the line, just prevent him from advancing. We have to stop him just close enough of Taurou for him to slay the Vanguard.

Taurou was still a good few meters away from the fight, charging his spell. His arm was throbbing and sweat was beading on his forehead. The magic was still gathering, even though the capacity was well over its limit. He was in pain. It was evident on his face. The darkness on the arm that the magic was being focused into wasn't helping either.

Yoh, Nhieling! We ready or what?! His voice cracked and squeaked over the exertion he was putting into this one spell. The gem on his shoulder armour was blaring with furious red light, doing its best to keep the magic contained with its meager barriers. It wasn't much, but every little bit helped Taurou keep the spell from exploding in his hand.

Vision blurry, sweating, and arm completely numb, Taurou allowed the spell to blow through his control and the barriers that were trying to help. The arrows of lightning flew towards the nearest vanguard, much bigger than they should be. The spell was encompassed in the darkness that Taurou's forearms were covered in.

His vision went black, and his body stayed standing, unmoving.

[OOC:Im not saying im not controlling them xD.But its polite to wait people by turns if you have requested so]

The hellchild saw his opening and rushed in front line,ready to thwart the vanguard ,one who was not an illusion.But as soon as he closed by,what seemed like lightening arrows came rushing in,there speed barley caught in time by the hellchild's vision.

Enormously huge,compressed by a high amount of electricity were a sure match for the vanguard.Taurou had given his best,and it would take some time for him to recover.The vanguard Deflected a few arrows with his bare hands,oblivious of their compressed electricity made its after effect visible,as soon as the first arrow hit,his position froze to it.The arrow dissipated as soon as it came contact with his hand,and bolts of electricity circled his body.The forthcoming arrows thus hit him had on,further numbing his senses.

"Curses!You lot of ignorant fools.It seems you are yet to understand the limits of my power.Very well then let me show you now" Said Villepci arrogantly.

The vanguard,lowered his head,as if the very soul,if the demon had one, had departed from the body.Then the vision of everyone in the range went blank.
Darkness eloped their senses,their body,their mind as well.They could no longer feel the ground,the air,the scent of blood or the thunderous sounds of swords clashing.Even themselves and their enemies or allies.

Far away,still in the battlefield,Adonus and Deraptun laughed off.

"So finally he played the big hand" Said Deraptun judging the situation meticulously .

"Im afraid the impenetrable null space of Villepci is renowned for torture and pain..." Adonus replied in a mysterious tone.

Villepci finally spoke inside the darkness,his voice resonating from all sides.
"It seems you took my illusions rather lightly.I now present to you,the forbidden Null space.The darkness you see around you,will now devour you,pinching you mortal bodies,eating apart your skin as we speak.the more you struggle the more the darkness grips you.Feel free to use those petty attacks your charging."

Back on the battlefield,I clashed blades with mortanus,their fight seemed to be in progress for ages.

"What has he done to them?!"

"Ohh..I thought you would know better bex,why that's the null space their now trapped in.Quite a fearful ability Villepci has,although he usually prefers not to use it.seems like you group ticked him off"

I had always feared the possibility of getting lost in the null space.The only elongated never ending space of darkness.By law of physics nothing shall space from there once stuck.Only be devoured by the never ending darkness.

[Please don't go having Villepci ignoring my character without getting hit, I typed all that for 2 options wether if he ignores or not. So if he did ignore, Villepci should be bind by chains now What is Pyoh suppose to have Taurou do by the way ]

Since Villepci ignores those up above and continues to go straight to the main group, the trap was sat as chains from the ground arose and binds Villepci with static shocks going through the chains so touching it would send it to the nerve, those 2 that were about to strike were fine since they had their body with the elements of lightning. Since Villepci could not move, they did an accurate strike. This should hold Villepci back before reaching the others since those chains is a doppel's chain form though it would disappear soon[2 post]

[OOC:Im sorry if its underestimating your character or such,but you do realize,totoro and pyoh were charging up their attack all this while to actually damage him.You did make a lot of doppels without a doubt,and they have played their part distracting him long enough.Even Nheiling and hell child arnt able to damage him,considering hell child is stronger than me and the only one to fight on par with the vanguard based on physical ability.I think pyoh,who is giving up his all for one elemental attack,deserves to damage him.Of course,if you didnt distract him,pyoh would not be able to connect his attacks.Villepci also holds superior speed,which no one seems to be taking in account.

PS:Your free to post that if you wish,but its going to cause a large pot hole seeing that villepci has already started up the null space]

[You can charge an attack?! Why didn't you tell me that earlier.. Oh right, by 'hit' I meant like 1 of the 2 options my character did to succeed. Since Nhieling said they ignored them, it activates the 2nd option binding which should gives time for the others to attack and that all. Though Villepci would end up being bind either ways ]

[hmm well villepci,was hit by taurou's lightening arrows and was rendered motionless anyway xD.And straight afterwords he activated the null space.You should read taurou's post cause hes kinda almost about to faint xD.Also by the way if you had doppels hidden somewhere who didnt get caught in the null space area,you could have an advantage here]

[I read wrongly when I saw ''Yoh, Nhieling! We ready or what?!'' I thought it was ''Yoh, Nhieling! We ready for what?!'' my bad .Well then, guess where the chains came from.. Well ofcourse those 3 doppels that was trying to strike would be within the area so the only thing left is for them is to disappear. This leave only 7 and 2 of it is the original getting ready for attack . Well whatever, now that you told be we can charge up our attacks then I could do the same. Though my Overdrive can't be charged but the level of power can be adjust. I won't blame you if your underestimating my character since doppelgangers is a custom class type ]

Even through being hit by the illusion, his sight was through the puppet, the Vangard was unable to cut Nhieling sight.
Seeing others getting confused, Nhieling got an idea : If he were the only one to see the Vanguard, then he just had to make his allie see him.
Using a little revised version of his phantasmagoria curse on his allies, he made them see and illusion of the vanguard at the same place he really were.
At least you'll see him coming...

Then the Vanguard start rushing Taurou, and then got stopped by Alice golem. Even through they weren't that strong, the Vanguard didn't think they could move when alice was binded, and their imposant weight mad them the better way to stop the Vanguard from progressing.

Taurou, you can see him !!!!!! He can't move shot him down !!!!!!!

[I don't care about it anymore, just have it your way. I will just follow with the flow. Once you need my character to strike, bind or something, just tell me and I will handle with it cause it seems like my character is very useless currently Just don't post too fast before I get to do anything especially when I am sleeping ]

*

[It's not a good thing.. Anyways this sums out just about all I gues: Bex is the only one that can go head on with Mortanus while it takes Alice, Taurou, Nhieling, Daisuke and Ryousuke a super hard time just to handle Villepci who is now in rampage? Why not just bring in the 2 more vanguard into the action and just kill Alice, Taurou, Nhieling, Daisuke and Ryousuke?! Once that's done, just use all 4 vanguards and kill Bex *sigh* If those vanguards said they would kill us, they could've just done it since they saw us..]

[K,then ill make use of all your abilities.Dai,your main skill will be determined will fighting Deraptun,he is skilled with one weapon,so you must defeat him with an array of them.Nheiling,your puppet abilities lets yo pass through a few obstacles,but try not to overdo them just cause you have a slight logic to it.This can lead to others also using them.This can later on cause alot of issues.Also direct combat and raw power isnt the only way to defeat a vanguard.Bex cannot counter illusions,meaning Villepci might have been more of a match for him.

Your also excluding a potential NPC ally,the hellchild.He doesn't have much of a char personality meaning each one of you can use him for formation attacks.
From here on out your free to control the vanguard,though don't rush the posts.
Going turn by turn would be wise here.

Also remember,greater risks give greater rewards as well ^_^ ]

[So what's the hellchild good at since I cant find it's app..? Also.. if Deraptum was more suited for me.. Why didn't you send him out to me first other than Villepci?! It so wasted my time thinking of wasted efforts in planning counter attacks and strategies ]

[remember charging attacks mean your critically off guard for any incoming attacks during that time.Also dont call your strategies a waste.If you didn't do so,pyoh and totoro would have been attacked.Also once the attack is discharged,your also weaker,since they take up a vast amount of your power.
Also its your turn to post dai.]

[Nothing worked though... Nhieling said Villepci just ignored me and seems like the doppel didn't even did much..?Lolz, my turn?? That was fast..I have no idea how I am gonna get Dai and Ryou to Deraptum while we are busy with Villepci that's using a null space magic? Anyways, going with whatever the flow there is..I will now strike Deraptum since it's kinda useless for me to continue on Villepci ]

Daisuke was hiding in the forest from afar on a tree branch using his doppel to help distract Villepci giving time for Taurou and Alice to charge up their powers as well as distracting the attention away from the twins for them to hide for the time being. In Daisuke's left hand was Ryou in full bows form, his right hand was in claw form and while doing so they chant a spell or more like the only one they've ever used so far "Dop Pe Ru, Spiritus Fulmine Coentes Sagittet Inimicum" and "Dop Pe Ru, Spiritus Metallicus Coentes Sagittet Inimicum" Daisuke's right hand claw was sparking due to the lightning Sagitta Magica and it sparks even brighter as he continues. Ryou who was in bow form had magic circles slowly appearing one by one infront of the bow aim. Once Daisuke fires the lightning arrow, Ryou will provide a metalic cover for the lightning arrow with speed and power in a combination of two elements. The remaining doppels already had the data transferred over and so they searched for Deraptum and Adonus. Daisuke's first aim would be Deraptum and probally Adonus for later..? Ryousuke was handling the aim as well and currently there was a 3 layer of metalic cover while Daisuke was somehow ready since Daisuke has a higher power than of Ryou. Dai placed his claw onto the string of Ryou's bow form locking onto the target, Deraptum. Once the target was locked on, Daisuke fires a long lightning spear instead of an arrow and it was incoming towards Deraptum in the speed of lightning [Kaminari Kami no Yari: Divine Spear of Thunderous Lightning? Lolz] This devours Daisuke's magical energy quite alot whereas Ryou is still able to hold out a little longer and so provided Daisuke the amount of magical energy he has left to share for now.

As the spear crushed on Deraptun blade, the first attack powerfull enough to hurt them had been landed.

Adonus, mocking him : Hehe, It seem that this little one want to see what you're worth. Care not to die, I've a slight doubt about Villepci advantage right now. It would be a shame for me to enter the battlefield to save you... Isn't it?

Then Deraptun draw his blade fully and then jumped over to Daisuke position.

It seem you have a death wish, mortal... I'm Deraptun ! The fallen swordman !

The the fight started.

[Seems like Daisuke won't be using magic for some time so Overdrive is all for now I guess..?]

Daisuke was expecting that Deraptum would have come head out to encounter Daisuke so he moved to a different location waiting for Deraptun. Ryousuke took a form of clothings to change Daisuke's clothes, it was really easy to fit Daisuke since they were of same size. Back to the business, Daisuke hears Deraptun's introduction and gave a reply with an evil grin seemingly because he is in a very bad mood due to some reasons... "Heh! Nice to meet you, Deraptun. I'm Daisuke, the arisen weapon master" Daisuke's right claw still had some lightning sparks and his left arm took the same form as well. "Come at me Deraptun" He shows that evil grin once again.

I looked back to realise the that behind his helm,the demonic gaze of Adonus was piercing through my focus.That uneasy feeling of being watched.Deraptun had engaged in combat with Daisuke...a perfect match.The others were trapped in villepci's deadly ability.Blades clashed again,as Mortanus broke through my defense,not wasting another moment,he embedded the sword right into where my chest.Smearing my overcoat with a darker crimson red,soaking in,the sword's tip protruded from my back.I coughed out blood,it had finally connected.Mortanus now powerful than ever,placed his palm on his sword,and channeled electricity inside,his sword seemed like a medium,intensifying the pain.

I screamed in agony,as the deadly shock waves pinched my body,rattling my bones to the end.He pulled his sword back out.More blood,this time painting his armor red.

"It seems your rather distracted.I would suggest you pay attention here,lest you shall die,immortal"

"Ahh,my apologies,commander.It seems you do not fail your name" I said as I choked out more blood,finally getting back up my feet.

The gaping hole in my chest,hung out my tattered ,burnt skin,exposing the innards.To die was a better option than bearing the pain..only if I could die..

The pain intensified as I tried to move..and the nostalgic feeling came back pain.Being slaughtered,decapitated,losing the flesh of humanity..and now being stabbed....

"Very well then,let us finish what we started" I said,gathered flames of ki in my demonic hand,ready to go at him again.

Using a simple telepathy spell to send a message to Taurou, hoping he would know about aviator way of giving direction :
Go all out at 2 hours !

Getting a glimpse at Daisuke, seeing them mooving gave him Nausea, as Villepci spell where still affecting his others sense. Better not care about them I think, Daisuke will probably be able to defend himself. If he get serious for once he could probably even make something.

Deraptum was nothing to laugh about. He was both fast and strong, and his sword play would be unmatched if he was fighting against a predictable opponent, but instead Daisuke and Ryousuke were more about an army with an huge amount of different weapon.

[Yeah I know, just thinking maybe Overdrive would be enough for now]

Daisuke placed both hands in it's claw form together and then let go of it, seemingly nothing has happened but there were some shining lines around the tree that was in the surroundings "Come" Daisuke gave his call signifying he was ready for Deraptun to charge in but he also had another plan that was already in operation.Dai just stood there waiting for Deraptun while Ryou is his clothes now..?

Deraptum rose his blade, putting himself in guard. He wasn't easily provocated. He wait a few second, emptying his mind.
So I become my blade, and my blade become everything. said him.

Then, fully concentrated, he rushed over Daisuke, and thruted over Daisuke heart.

I charged rosayan this time again.Shooting 6 accurately time,spilt-second ki shots at him.With ease,and a sudden reflection of the sun,he blinded my eyes for a fraction of seconds.I walked closer to examine why his armor was still retained its flawless shape and glossy finish.No sound of bullets connecting were heard.Beneath my feet I felt a familiar uprising.I looked down to locate all the 6 shots,neatly placed..

"Indeed that astonishes me,Vanguard"

"There is much more your eyes have to see"

He charged in,his speed this time could not be determined.Unlike his earlier speed,a sudden rush took place,a sudden change..

I stood there dithering,while he clashed swords with me again,delibrately on my sword.

Homura didn't shook back,rather..vibrated.A resonating high pitched frequency sung out of the blade.This was not impact...this I believed was electricity.

I placed my demonic hand on homura,passing on the blazing flaming ki into it.
The blood thirsty blade would finally get its fill.As I charged in more fire,in electricity which was seemingly embedded in the sword,burst out of it.


"Must you use that petty element against the superior velocity of electricity"

"There is much for you to learn warrior.Allow me to indulge you,with a warriors resolve" As I said so,my grip became tighter on the sword,and the fire danced in a more fierce pattern.
