human among predators (redo)

(Lol, Dupe has surprisingly good control of herself when she's angry, poking Aerendyl rather than just swatting him away violently.)

Aerendyl, being poked rather hard by the giantess, was knocked cleanly into the air, landing with a low thud. He was completely knocked of his breath, and laid both larns and legs on the ground, coughing and trying to breathe. The poke was pretty painful.

Silvia saw Dupe approach them and demand to know who killed someone from her village. "I have no idea, but I'll tell you right now that it wasn't me!" she protested.

Dupe glared at silvia "I NEVER SAID IT WAS YOU DID I SO KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF IT!"she yells angrilly at her fl fcing away and glaring at the others angrilly she growled dangerously as she looked arounf.

The giantess was now in range, Zalost adjusted his aim; targeting her neck, just above the voicebox, if the angel was right the shot would be lethal.

''If this goes on any longer I will have to fire.' Zalost thought, the orange glow of his eyes growing in intensity.

cody was really annoyed at the chain of events and jumped in a tree right infront of dupes face.. "it was a misunderstanding, he thought the girl was trying to attack him.." he said the marks on his back glowing brightly..

codda sat quietly not even caring about where he was... "cody dont do anything rash.."

'Cody... So that's his name, but what are you doing?....'

The glowing scars on Cody's back, once again provoked a mental reaction from Zalost; images of the past ran through is head, including images of what transpired only momments before... the pool of blood.... The orange glow grew ever more intense as reality kicked back in, his thumb pressing on the RPG's trigger. "CODY GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Zalost yelled with an urgent tone.

cody turned around seeing zalost about to fire. he then jumped dpwn landing on the rpg launcher standing infront of the sight. "put it down and let me handle this.." his marks still glowing...

"best just listen to him zalost." codda said trying to warn him

Zalost still remained focused on killing the giantess even with Cody landing on the warhead. Despite the situation Cody's face appeared to be very calm to Zalost. Though his eyes where still bright orange, Zalost lowered his weapon, the first time he or even possibly any Axis has done so while in a battle mindset.

Zalost swung the RPG over his sholder, keeping the safety off, as he stared upwards at the giantess his eyes starting to dim slightly. 'You truely are something else Cody' Zalost thought.

(ok, heres where i point out the not leaving others behind rule.. since there have been more than two posts after somones turn i cant reply... sorry to everyone for me and cauldron again.. we are waiting for everyone who hasnet replied to reply.. then i will allow the rp to continue for me and cauldron..)

Aerendyl, having recovered from the harsh poke, got back up, and spoke to Dupe.

"Look over there.....the guy who just tried to hit you with that projectile......he's the one."

Hopefully she would believe him, but in the end chances were pretty slim. He was a stranger to her village after all.

Silvia could do nothing but watch, hoping that the situation would calm down quickly.

(waiting for giantess then we can continue.)

Dupe growled leaping onto zalos and knocking the weapon out of his hand angrilly "you little BASTERD!"she yells angrilly at him spit litterally flying out of her mouth and onto those nearby she was so angry her face was nearly a bright red colour "GIVE ME ONE JUST ONE FUCKING REASON WHY I SHOULD NOT FUCKING TEAR OF YOUR FUCKING LITTLE HEAD AND SHOVE IT UP YOU ASS YOU LITTLE BASTERD!"

The force of the impact knocked Zalost back to Silvia's feet, the RPG knocked from his hand still spinning in the air before the landing trigged the firing mechanism. The rocket shot past behind the group, exploding on impact with another tree, destroying it; smoke sweeping over the area.

Zalost pulled himself up to his feet, his eyes now glowing bright orange through the smoke. Whispers crept back into his mind as he unhooked another RPG from his back. 'No more chances' he thought as he aimed for between the giantess's eyes; without hesitation Zalost fired.



(May seem bad but hopefully Cody will save the day.)

in what seamed like an instant Cody flew at the rocket changing its direction away from the giantess both him and the projectile exploding against a large boulder, sending Cody's burnt and limp body flying into a nearby tree..

he layed there unconscious one wing bloody and the other bent back.. bleeding as he slid down leaving a blood line down the tree...

"Cody!" Codda managed to get out from between silvias breasts running over to cody's body... checking his breathing..

Aerendyl, still having been injured by Dupe's harsh poke, rushed over to the others. Without his blade, if he got into combat it would require using his fists and feet, not exactly the best thing to use in a firefight. When he reached them, Aerendyl rushed to Cody, worried that me might have been killed or seriously injured. Upon arriving to Cody with Codda, he found Cody bloodied and limp.

Aerendyl then glared at Zalost, and got ready to charge when he noticed Dupe was already in a far larger rage than most everyone around him. She would probably crush Aerendyl in her rage to get at the Axis, so instead he decided to stay and protect Cody and instead let the giantess handle the problem.

"arendryl..." Cody's spirit said tapping his shoulder...

"we need to get cody to roxane..." Codda said picking up Codys body.. "im gonna need some help.. silvia can you help me take him to his tree?" Codda said walking up...

(You do realize that if Cody's spirit can talk to me it means his spirit is detached from him body and that he is clinically dead, right? Just making sure.)

(his soul is connected to his sword.. and dont forget cody is an angel hybrid.. )

"Right." Silvia said to Codda, picking him up along with Cody. "Which way is it?!" she asked, not wanting to waste any time.

"towards the giant tree." codda said holding cody, noticing cody's wings vanished.

"arendryl, you need to keep dupe and zalost from fighting.." cody's spirit said before returning to his body.. his sword flashing a bright light as he went back..

"he will be ok." codda said with a sigh of relief. "but we still need to hurry...

(i wont be posting for a little bit.. until everyone has posted..)

Zalost could not make out the events which unfolded in front of him, the paniced voices being drowned out by the constant whispering in his head, the only clear image he could make out was the shocked, but still enraged giantess infront of him, as visions of his past once agin started to blur reality. Zalost dropped the spent RPG tube, by the time it had hit the ground Zalost had already drawn is sword and was only a steps away from plunging it into the giantess's ankel, his eyes now glowing a burning yellow.


(Note: Zalost has lost the plot and will respond to any immediate threat, in this case Dupe, if the situation were to calm down, Zalost would calm down as there is no threat, though best leave him be for a bit. Also that sword of his is 9ft long; remember he is 14ft tall, so he is able to wield it.)

"silvia you need to calm dupe down.. ill handle zalost.." codda said putting cody in silvias hand and jumping down.

Handling Cody with care, Silvia said to Dupe, "Look, none of this fighting is getting any of us anywhere! Why don't we all just calm down for a minute and try to talk through this?"

codda jumped up landing on a branch infront of zalost.. gaining his attention. "you need to calm down man.." codda looked into zalost's eyes before covering his eyes with his arm.. " i know that glow.." codda said getting ready for a fight...
