Just a newbie...
"Chasing some innocent girl..." Fei Long clicked his tongue. "What kind of beast would do such a thing?"
"Uuuh!" The girl groaned in surprise as Jack rubbed at her cheek, and retaliated by...biting her? Indeed, the girl turned her head and clamped her mouth down on Jack's hand, ignoring Simon and everyone else for the time being. Though anyone nearby would notice a small blue spot on her cheek...
"Wolf, Wolves..."
"?!" Fei Long abruptly turned, hearing a voice from the wolf body. It seemed that Scream's theory was right...something wasn't right at all. In fact, it seemed as if the wounds were healing on his body at a rapid pace.
"Wolf, Wolves..."
Mordekaiser would find there was a...slight hitch in extracting a wraith. As in, there was no wraith to extract.
"Wait! Don't tell me that thing is...still alive?!"
"ICY BARRIER!!!"
Suddenly, the wolfman's body became encased in a thin layer of ice. Still held in Scream's restraints, the ice layer began growing rapidly, as if to stretch the restraints to their limit.
"A HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA!" His laughter echoed within the clearing. "Nice try, bastards, but you can't kill what can't die!"

As Laffey started for Sakura, she would find that there was nothing showing up on her sonar save for trees. And it seemed Sakura was being dragged off to a very specific place, with a singular destination in mind. But it wouldn't matter for long, as suddenly, both Laffey and Long Island would feel their bodies grabbed by some sort of unseen force, and begin to be pulled away just as Sakura was.

"Son of a-!" Scream hated to be as paranoid as she was, except when it seemed to be right on the money. Fine if this wolf guy wanted to get free she'd oblige him. Jumping to her feet on his back Scream leaped back letting go with her tendrils. The symbiote didn't like fire, but she wasn't about to see what sheering cold did to it either.
Frank meanwhile seemed both surprised and excited at what was going on.

"A werewolf AND ice powers?! You hit the super power lottery, didn't you buddy?" He just shrugged before continuing. "So what are you gonna do now? Healing powers are fun and all, but we kind of got you outnumbered. What's your game and who's the kid biting the other kid."
@Crow @Crimson Spartan @Ottonomous Ghost @Gummi Bunnies @Jeremi @York @Yun Lee @BoldSquad
"L-Lloyd!... If he really can't die... What do we do...?"
"It's simple really even a beast like this can be disabled if needed... Even if he can heal quickly I doubt he'll be able to fight efficiently with a limb or two removed.. "
Lloyd states calmly walking towards the wolfman regardless of the dangers that were present. His steps were slow and cautious like he was expecting something to happen as he approached his sword in hand. He didn't really prepare an attack since in a way he was interested in how Frank's question may be answered.
By this point Nino had her spell tome opened and seemed to be preparing to cast a spell.

"Hey!" Jack said as the strange girl clamped on her hand. Before she could attempt to shake her off, she looked to see that the wolfman was back again.
Looks like the best bet was her Noble Phantasm - a power that needed three conditions to be at its peak.
One, it must be night. Check.
Two, it must be misty. Can be done.
Three, the target must be a woman. Nope.
Two of three conditions were more than enough.
Yanking the strange girl(or at least, part of her) along as she began to run towards the wolfman, she materialised a lantern that unleashed her mist, the mist surrounding the wolfman as she swiftly ran in circles around him. It was toxic, poisonous, and even those resistant to such effects would feel weakened by it, every trait dropping by a single grade, effectively slowing the beast's regeneration in the process.
She would soon be ready, evidenced by her keeping her lantern and unleashing a knife that began to be cloaked in a cursed miasma.

"Yes, let's murder it..."
@Yun Lee @York @Crimson Spartan @Ottonomous Ghost @etcetcetc
"That's impossible. I'm unable to detect her. Unless..."
Laffey was grabbed by an odd force. She began to unleash torpedos in the direction of this strange force, allowing them to burst in a fiery explosion should they smacked upon their supposed target.
@Yun Lee @York @etcetcetc
Mordekaiser
@Crow @Crimson Spartan @Ottonomous Ghost @Gummi Bunnies @Jeremi @York @Yun Lee @BoldSquad
Scoffing at Frank's remarks, Mordekaiser responded back snappily. "I care not for what others think of me. If I want something, I'll take it."
Abruptly, the Lord of the Shadow Isles stumbled back as his magic fizzled miserably. "Hm?!" he exclaimed. It appeared that he had underestimated his enemy. To expect some primitive thing to be capable of such powerful magic was out of Mordekaiser's egotistic intellect. He grumbled in irritation, being denied what was rightfully his. Still, the wolfman was intriguing. It felt as if he didn't have a soul. "The inability to die is most familiar to me," he began, laughing lightly, "We shall see if you are truly immortal. If I cannot take your soul, then I shall beat you into submission."

Noticing Jack's strategy, the metallic shell thrust his hand forth as a flash of light spread out in front of him, siphoning the vitality of the wolfman.
Mizelia takes a step backwards at the unexpected move of the girl. "Woah, woah. Calm down. Take a moment to breath. Take a deep breath in and out, in and out." Mizelia said, her voice first somewhat surprised but with every word calming down.
"We?" Mizelia asked towards Jack
"Easy there, we are not here to hurt you." Mizelia said, slowly placing her hand on the girl's shoulder. "It's going to be alright. Just let her go.
As Jack jans the girl along, Mizelia places a hand on her shoulder to try and stop her. "Don't bring her to that." She said.
"Ngh...hey! Knock that crap off!" The wolfman cried out from behind his icy shield, refusing to come out when both Jack and Mordekaiser started to drain his powers. "Jeez! A guy can't even defend himself without a gang of psychos coming for him! Let me guess, you're DWMA's elite, huh?"
"Wait...defending yourself?" Fei Long scoffed. "What could a little girl like her possibly do to cause a superpowered beast like you harm?"
"A little girl? Heh, she does look like it. But take it from me, she ain't normal! She smells like death!"
"Absolutely ridiculous, that girl-"
POP!
The combined yanking from Jack and Mizelia's hand on her shoulder resulted in something highly unusual. The girl stood in place...from the neck up. Her head had become completely detached from her neck, and stayed latched onto Jack's hand, gnawing contentedly as if nothing had happened.
"What in the-"
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!"
A scream rang out from a few feet nearby, as a blur of pink sped past them all on the ground, followed by two other blurs shortly after.
"Hey, that sounds like a chase!" The wolfman's ice shield cracked and shattered all around him, and what stood before them all now was a large man.
![]()
"Doesn't that look more fun than trying to kill me? C'mon, let's chase after 'em while I still have their scent!"
"Wait a minute, weren't you just..." Fei Long trailed off as the man gave chase to the three girls being dragged away. The actor shook his head. "Even werewolves can't resist a chase, I suppose. We should get going, too-I think those were some of the girls that stayed behind!"
---
Try as she might to attack, Laffey would discover that there was no one around them that was able to be hit. Whatever was pulling on them wasn't invisible, it was nonexistent. At least, not in tangible form; if Laffey were to look down, she would see in her shadow that her leg was gripped by another shadow, this one of a large talon. Sakura and Long Island seemed to both have the same predicament, as well.
---
Suddenly, everyone who had stayed behind in the clearing would feel themselves getting dragged through the forest against their will by an unseen force!

"Hm, so the girl is undead?" Hiruko commented with a raised brow. Despite all of the odd and gruesome things he saw on an almost daily basis, this was probably one of the most odd.
Seishin moved to follow after the Werewolf, after giving a brief look of concern to Jack as the undead girl continued to bite and naw at her without much care in the world. Honestly, what has he gotten into?
@Yun Lee @Crow @York @Ottonomous Ghost @Gummi Bunnies @Everyone

"Wait you guys didn't figure she was dead?" Frank asked surprised.
![]()
"Didn't the grring and biting tip you off?"
Scream meanwhile still didn't trust the man in front of them.
![]()
"How the hell would we trust what a big mutt like you has to sa-" And with that he was gone. "HEY! Get back here! We aren't done with you!" Scream as well zipped through the trees after Free and whatever the screaming was about.
"Is there a problem?" Jack asks Mizelia.
Just then, the odd girl's head and body parted, Jack with the head and Mizelia with everything else.
"So I was not the only one who noticed," Jack further rubbed the girl's cheeks with her free hand in an attempt to remove more of this supposed makeup. After hearing the scream and noticing everyone heading there, Jack, leaving the main body with Mizelia and still holding the head. She simply followed the rest as they ran for the source of the sound. Disappearing nigh-immediately, undetected, all while still having a head stuck to her hand.
@Yun Lee @Takumi @York @Ottonomous Ghost @Donder172
"Let's light it up!"
Laffey dropped her torpedos towards the ground, hoping that the flash from the produced explosions would decimate the shadows.
@Yun Lee @York @Minerva
Well this was interesting... So as they understood it this beast turned man was merely defending himself from the girl who now was totally something more. Lloyd didn't fully understand that situation but he did understand one thing. People were in trouble as he noticed the male run after them. Nodding to Nino they both chased after the male following this force that had those girls.
"He's right! We need to go after them rather than continue this fruitless fight against him..."
"My brother and I are sorry for almost attacking you.." Nino would say to the man as she ran after him and the others. She held her spell tome close as she ran with Lloyd who kept his sword in hand expecting to need to act quickly once they catch up to whatever it was that had these girls.
@Yun Lee @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT @dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun @Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @York
"What the-" Mizelia lets go of the girl as her head detaches from the body. "Let's get after them..." Mizelia said in agreement towards Fei Long, being on her guard after the seemingly undead girl losing her head. She starts chasing after the blurs. Using augmenation to move faster.
"Just... never mind."
She found herself in a dark, damp, cold forest. Was this a dream? Or a nightmare?
Had she been so lost in thought that she didn't notice? The Holy Warrior lightly shivered as the deadly breeze brushed past her exposed skin. sometimes she wondered if the gods knew that this armor didn't cover her entire body.
That being said, it had served her well until this point. Sophitia was no stranger to harsh enviornments or dimensions during her quest for the Soul Swords. Thankful that she had her holy weapons by her side, the powerful warrior continued to walk down the path until she heard a scream. Just what was this place?
"Gods... Protect me from this darkness..." Sophitia mumbled a soft prayer beneath her breath.
She decided to follow the source of the screams. Whoever it was, it looked like they needed help!
@Yun Lee @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT @dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun@Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @York @Crimson Spartan
Free grinned down at Nino. "Hey, don't even worry about it! I've gotten into so many fights, it's a normal thing! Or it was...? I dunno, I was kind of in prison for two hundred years, so my memory's a little fuzzy..."
"You really can't die, can you?" Fei Long had joined them, the headless body of the zombie girl slung over his shoulder.
"Sure can't! Even with all your guys' weird powers, I don't think anything can finish me off..."
BOOM! BOOM!
Just up ahead, explosions rang out. "...that's not good."
---
Fortunately, it seemed that Laffey's torpedos did the trick. The flashing lights striking the shadowy limbs caused them to shrivel up and vanish, leaving her, Sakura, and Long Island free.
Sakura shakily got to her feet, brushing herself off. "Th-Thank you," she said, then gasped. "The others! I think I saw more shadows pass me as I was dragged..."
@Crimson Spartan @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT @dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Hahli Nuva @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun @Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @York
Scream was perched on a tree branch on top of them as Fei Long and the Rider a bit after him came onto the scene. "We can put that to the test if you want." She had not taken a liking to the weird guy, nor did she trust him. But for the time being Scream was just going to keep an eye on him and nothing more.
The Rider as well got a chuckle at Free's remark. "Living forever's not what it's cracked up to be. I should know, I'm pushing a million!"
![]()
"And I look like crap!" Then the ensuing explosion. "Huh...we should probably check that out, right?"
@Crimson Spartan @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT @dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Hahli Nuva @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun @Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @York
As Sophitia traversed the forest, dark energy would soon ensnare her senses, causing her to grip her weapons tighter and narrow her eyes.
There was a malevolent spirit here, possibly more than one. Did Soul Edge really have this much of a powerful influence?
The Holy Warrior pinpointed one of the energy signatures and moved in that direction, soon finding Ghost Rider, Scream, and the rest of their group.
Appalled by the sight of these horrors, she brandished her Omega Sword and pointed it at Frank with a dark glare on her features.
"HALT! Your days of terrorizing this peaceful forest are over!"
@Crimson Spartan @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT@dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Yun Lee @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun@Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @York
A thick, black, poisonous fog would begin to veil Sophitia, weakening her with every breath of the toxic environment she took into her body, and adding slivers of poison to her body with each passing second.
@Hahli Nuva @Jeremi
@Crimson Spartan @York @Yun Lee
"OK OK," Laffey sighs as they all finally got out of the situation, "lead the way, Sakura."
She turns to Long Island for a bit. "I think we should keep our distance from the shadow things. They're undetectable by radar, but something more visual should be possible."
@York @Yun Lee
Simon Henriksson
@Crimson Spartan @Crow @CrunchyCHEEZIT @dark @Donder172 @Gummi Bunnies @Hahli Nuva @Jeremi @Lucky @Minerva @Neko Shogun @Ottonomous Ghost @Sark @Takumi @Yun Lee
Simon gawked in surprise, both at the fact that the wolf was still alive (though he was beginning to wonder if that wolf was as much of a threat as he initially thought), and the girl that had initially run towards him apparently turning out to be some kind of undead zombie.
It took him a moment, but what Jack was doing seemed to click with him, eventually causing him to shake his head.
"... I see. Somehow you... ..." He trailed off for a moment, gulping quietly.
"I'm sorry. I misjudged you, Jack." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
As the sound of explosions suddenly occurred in the distance, causing the apparently immortal wolf to suddenly turn back into a man... And mention they should follow him rather than kill him. Seeing that Jack had already disappeared, with that undead girl's head still attached, Simon sighed, turning his attention to Mizelia for a moment, who was still holding onto the body, shuddering a little before he quickly followed the others to the source of the sounds.
Hearing the sudden cry of a newcomer, a woman... Apparently someone who was shouting at them, braving the fog that was enveloping Sophita as he tried to talk her down.
"We are not your enemy!" He shouted, one hand in his bag... Gripping the hilt of his glock, incase he needed to defend himself.
Pausing a little as he turned in the direction the explosions were occurring, before turning back towards Sophita, a desperate look in his eyes. He hoped that by the time they found the source of those explosions, it wasn't already too late...
Long Island
@Crow @Yun Lee @Others?
Long Island didn't have enough time to react as she was suddenly dragged by an unseen force... Despite her efforts to remain hidden. Her shouts and attempts to struggle free with her anti air guns (as she couldn't throw any planes in her current state) was abruptly obscured by Laffey's torpedoes, until the shadows released her as well.
"Saw me... They... Saw me..." She mumbled, still a little dazed, laying on the ground.
After a moment though, she shook off this dazed state, and nodded at what Laffey was saying, seeming a little shaken for once as she too followed Sakura's lead.
