The Streets Fall (Anarchists/Rebels)

[Krazny; The Wyvern]

Krazny nodded at Aetius, the man certainly knew what he was talking about when it came to battle, and Krazny could certainly respect that as a warrior. Stepping outside, he gave a sharp whistle and a motion of his hand, the Anarchists starting to gather around their star general who had only less than hour ago been bathing in the blood of their enemies. A few minutes later, he'd managed to round up the troops that he'd need to hold the streets that had been assigned to him. As the eighty or so men gathered around him, he hopped on top of a car with the clank of armour and swords.

"Alright, listen up!" He roared, his Nissian accent thick.

"Things may have gone quiet but The Government are going to come back, they are going to come back stronger than ever and they are going to hit us like a freight train full of bricks, but we've got something that they don't!" He leaned forwards, arms resting on his swords. "We have a cause that is far stronger than theirs, we're not just fighting for our families or our leaders, we're fighting quite literally for our lives. Do you think that if they catch you, you'll just go to prison?" He chuckled. "No, if you've got a mana tattoo, you'll be in a Labour Camp within days and that's a death sentence, if not, you'll be seen as aiding and abetting and you'll probably find yourself in a very dangerous situation." He stepped down from the car and started walking amongst the men.

"They say the beast in the corner is the most dangerous, but do you know what I say to that? Bullshit! We are not backed in the corner and we are no ordinary beast... No, we are dragons and we are going to show these dogs why dragons once ruled this land." He motioned to the men around him. "I want fifty men to fall back to Steel Street and hold the line there, thirty to stay here with me at Rest Drive... Steel Street will be our last stand but we'll take what we can here..." He stood at the top of Rest Drive with a smirk on his face, the red and black tattoos on his shoulders, neck and back glowing a bright gold as fire engulfed his body. Fiery claws covered his hands and feet, a rib-cage around his waist and a snout-like skull of fire around his head, horns protruding from the top, no-functional wings and a big tail, both made of fire sprouted from this 'armour'. Dragon Aspect: Fire. A power granted by The Dragon-Slayer himself.

"Let the fun begin." He growled with a smirk as he drew both swords.

[Aetius Dux]

The roar of their small army was nearly deafening, as weary as those young men and women may have been they seemed to be rejuvenated by the speech. 'We are dragons!' Krazny called, giving Aetius a small grin. He was brought back to the days when he was leading troops around Proti, they fought in the south of the continent where great, dense jungles would sprout along vast rivers. Rooting out rebels in those jungles was hell and when fighting in the Lowlands his battalion was ambushed and cornered, for two days they fought under heavy fire.  They were cornered that day and it was there Aetius learned the value of a good speech - the promises of home would make the soldier somber, the promises of glory would fade fast once the bullets flew by and nobody but the fanatics cared about the Emperor a continent away. It was a reminder of how invincible they were that seemed to give them a sense of fighting spirits; they were the men that ruled these lands, their lands, they were always meant to rule them and it was time to remind everyone about that fact.  Krazny seemed to have the speech part down.

"You've got a taste for tactics and combat," Aetius spoke towards Kri as Krazny finished up. "That's good! Now, let us do as the Wyvern commands and root out those soldiers." Aetius said with a light pat on his shoulder before turning back. So long as Kri could still fire a gun a fracture was none of his concern. Aetius returned to Krazny's side a moment later as he slipped the rifle off his shoulder and checked how many rounds he had left. "You've got the soldiers ready to fight. Let us deliver a quick and deafening blow to our enemies." Seeing the soldiers flee would give the Rebels and Anarchists the morale they needed to press the fight on. 

Aetius took a step away from Krazny as he went into his 'dragon form', a snarlingly beast that sent fear into the hearts of his enemies and allies alike. It was always interesting to watch the reaction of those who had never seen such a power before, for those people it was a rather frightening sight.  At the arrival of Rest Drive Aetius pressed himself against one of the abandoned cars and peered down the dark roads - without street lights the streets seemed to be an engulfing black hole, Aetius couldn't seemed to get any sort of sight beyond the first eight feet. 

[Aldo Garland]

Aldo was called back to help with the securing the back, which he excited. He was put with Aetius' group with securing of Rest Drive, and he look down the darkness that held the enemy.
"SO, does anything have any way to light up this place? I want to see their faces, so I can punch them in!" Aldo said as he looked around. As he pressed up against the car, he started to think, and then he grinned. "Heh, looks like these door's haven't been made into artillery yet! Excellent!"

[Katori T'elva]

Katori closed her eyes and bowed her head as Kri and the Anarchists moved past her, off to pull troops from the back to properly secure the back. She clenched her fists and dug her nails into the palm of her hand to hold back her anger for the decision before looking over at Lee, "Are you sure that was right?" She asked, her voice lined with spite towards the older man. "The military will move against us any moment now, we needed those men at the front." What use was arguing with now that the decision had already been done.

With a shake of her head Katori had turned away from Lee and already started walking towards the exit, "Never mind, I'm off to make sure the front line doesn't break." Katori said with a wave of dismissal towards whatever Lee intended to growl out at her. 

[Lee Dolus]

Lee crossed his arms and chuckled at her dismissal, "Hold up." Lee responded, his voice calm, "Let me tell you exactly why holding all of our men up front will get them all killed. Sure maybe we'll survive the first wave of government soldiers, but when the second, and third wave come along what are we gonna do with no supplies? How are we to hold the district and fight back when our men can't even shoot their guns because we have no ammo? All of us will die. Securing that supply line is the only way we will last."

"Now I understand you have a problem with me, and that's fine I don't give two fucks that you do. But, when I'm in control and I make a decision, you shut your mouth and do as told." Lee turned away from her and back to his plans, "Now run along, little girl." he dismissed her with a wave.

[Hana Redfern]

Hana had been stalled.

She saw Katori's dark, bobbing head over the yard, chatting with a man she vaguely recalls. Hana had planned on going up to her, but each time she passed a wounded solider, she stopped and tried to tend to their pains. Only, she always ended up closing their eyes for the last time after their brave hearts gave out.

.That was what she was doing, at the very moment, kneeling besides a young man who just spurted out a mouthful of blood before sinking back and collapsing, the lights in his eyes going out. She felt a shutter pass through her and she reached over and folded his eyelids. She didn't know his man, his family or his story, not a single thing about her yet his lost would forever mark her soul.

Hana stood up, brushing the dirt off her brown lathered pants as she shuffled her way towards the building. She placed a hand over her mouth to keep the scarf tied around her nose from falling down. She already could see the death, she didn't need to smell human decay too.
Her hands cut up hands pushed the door in and she found her way towards Kat, breathing a sigh of relief while folding her scarf back. Bits of white blonde hair stuck to her sweaty forehead but most of it was held back, she looked like she'd been from hell and back but she managed a small smile for her friend. "There you are," She sighed and glanced over her shoulder. She could just see the pouting figure of Lee.

[Katori T'elva]

Lee Dolus was about the most insufferable man she had ever met and Katori had met many ill men in her short lifetime. The brief thought of how many people she might save if she burned the man alive crept in her head before being pushed out. Katori had no military training or knowledge of warfare but at the same time neither did Lee, Konig had put a former gang member in charge of the campaign and that didn't sit well with her.

Katori put Lee behind her and set off back to the front lines, prepared to hold off whatever the government sent at them all by herself. Yet Hana's voice stopped Katori in her tracks, she spun around to see the light skinned, light haired warrior. Katori was relieved to see her alive and well, during the thick of the battle she had lost sight of her many allies and had feared she'd find their bodies among the dead. How foolish of a thought that Hana would be one of those, the ice warrior didn't seem to have fear - she seemed unstoppable in battle, of course Hana would be the one to make it through this.

"Hana, thank the gods." Katori wasn't entirely sure if Hana would welcome a hug but she got one anyway, "You're not hurt, are you?"
