A New Mission: Infiltrating the City

The 4 people burst though the gates of the palace. Maki signaled to Erin to be on the wooden beam on the ceiling. Erin readied her arrows waiting for the right moment. "Well, I see I have visitors." Maki said in a sly voice looking at Kouzai.

"Well, well, well....just as we thought, the worlds going to war and no one invited us to the pre-war party....we just stopped by for our invitations" said Kouzai "Tekari take my left, Lily take my right, Skye watch my back...."

(You guys mind if we wait for Kali, I know she gave me permission to roleplay as her in battle but I still think we should wait)

((OOC: Of course, I'll wait for how long it takes.)

"Kiari, hide," Tekara whispered, and the boy vanished in a cloud of pale mist. She took her position beside Kouzai, confident that the boy found a place to hide until he was needed. She nocked her arrow onto its drawstring, awaiting her leader's signal.

"Hmm, we came just in time," Tekara said cheerily, pulling her weapon over her shoulder. "Just say the word anytime; I have a present for you."

((LadyKura want me to shoot an arrow at you and it misses or hits?
I'll wait, sorry I posted.))

Maki did a quick nod at Erin. Erin drew an arrow on her bow looking at the leader of the 4 people. Maki put one hand on her sword waiting to fight with it. Erin nodded to Maki that she had a clear shot. "Well, I did not know there was a party today at my palace. Let's see if you can dance." Maki said then she whistled and guards surrounded the intruders. Kysi, Maki's shadow tiger, appeared by her side growling softly.

(okay we'll move on a bit but only for the battle, after the fight we'll teleport out and then we'll wait for Kali)

Kouzai raised his two swords, one defensively the other offensively. He was ready to attack and to defend at any moment. He looked at the girl with the bow and arrow 'So that's Erin...with her bow and arrow she looks like a long range fighter, that makes her weak at close combat...if I don't take her out first she's gonna be trouble later on....as for her sister, Maki....her and her tiger are gonna be trouble, she's probably a multi-range fighter....all right that's a perfect plan' thought Kouzai. "Tekara, Lily take care of the one with the tiger....Skye help me take out the one in the rafters" said Kouzai. As he finished Skye nodded and they jumped onto the wooden beam ready to fight Erin.

(( My own characters are fighting each other. ))

Erin was skilled in muti range fighting. Erin took out her a sword readying to fight the leader first, without him barking orders they would be lost. Erin quickly thought If I injure Lily, then Skye and the leader will be distracted for just amount of time for me to shoot him. Erin put her sword back as the leader stared at her with cold eyes. Erin pointed her bow at him then shoot at Lily as she was about to start to attack.

Lily fell to the ground clutching her shoulder. Blood was pouring out of her shoulder. Lily ripped a piece of her shirt and tied it around her shoulder to stop the bleeding. Kysi looked at Lily, then pouncing on her with great speed. Kysi dragged Lily behind Maki and Kysi went back to the fight.

Erin jumped silently from beam to beam to the roof. Erin climbed on the roof and looked in the window for the perfect shot at him. Erin saw everyone in the roof moving, no one even stopped to take a breath. Erin took a sharpened arrow looking at it then the leaders shoulder.

Kouzai had a feeling this was gonna get ugly. "Time for my secret art" he said. Kouzai put his hands together and in a sudden he melted away into shadow, and suddenly reappeared around Erin. The clones charged their hands with lightning and aimed at Erin.

((^_^ Yeah, go ahead. It's a battle, do whatever you can and want to.))

Tekara's heart leapt as she saw Lily injured, but she refocused in an instant, drawing her arrow and aiming critically for Maki's throat. She let the weapon go, watching it fly almost too rapidly to be avoided. She didn't expect it to hit its mark; it was only her first try, and defeating an enemy would likely take more effort than that.

After that arrow set loose, Tekara ducked low to the ground and rolled for cover, just in case Erin might've seen her standing prone for a while. She prepared another in a flash, her concerned eyes still glancing back at Lily. Hopefully Skye and Kouzai wouldn't be distracted.

Relief flooded her as she saw Kouzai melt into the ground for a moment, and then suddenly surround Erin. A flash of lightning ensued thereafter.

Tekara inhaled calmingly as she refocused on her target.

Kysi saw the arrow and grabbed the wooden rod in her mouth then spiting it out. Maki saw Erin in danger. Erin's pink eyes flashed at Maki knowing she was her only hope. 10 guards were attacking Tekara distracting her from Kysi. Kysi went into the shadows disappearing from sight. "Mise à mort de Kysi la fille nommée Tekara." Maki said under her breath as Kysi slipped into the shadows. Maki put her palm in front of her and created a small dark energy ball. The ebony ball grew larger and turned into 10 shadow wolfs. "Détruisez l'amorce du groupe, aucune blessure juste il dans le corps supérieur, pas le chef." Maki said under her breath and the wolfs ran on the walls to the roof. Each wolf swiped at each Kouzai on the roof. Erin took out her bow and arrow and slung it behind her back. She took a small ball of dark energy and created a shadow monster. "私の監視を戦っている床の女の子を攻撃しなさい。" Erin said under her breath and the monster went down the beams and faced Tekara. The guards backed away looking at the show down.
