26 Alistair Companion Mission part 3 (1/2)
Well, this will be interesting, to say the least. Allistair will be able to handle they guy all on his own I believe. I will handle his minions. I won't be using my Eldar sword something in me is telling me not. I won't' be able to the after effects this time. But my misty fist are definitely coming out to play.
I activate observe catching them in my view in the distance. Then pushed it further watching only Codis the new info was alarming, to say the least. The rest a need for pause.,

”So cousin fancy meeting you here. Tell me, where are the villagers, are you going to get in my way again you saw how it worked last time. If I remember correctly you almost lost some of your people.” Codis said as he came out of the brush of trees.
My soul/pyscho power flared up. I activated Lv2 1231/3500 Mental Cleansing to get rid of the fog of hate that overcame me. It partially worked. My mind started suppressing my emotions. I guess the power from X-men helped.
”Well see the thing is... cousin no, thats the wrong choice of words. I got it, you lapdog of Dycendarg they survived. Telling you this is of no real consequence you won't live to see another day.” I moved out of the way and allowed Alistair to take point after saying that.
”Oh, big words and how are you going...” Codis stopped once Allistair came into full view. ”So you have found the stone and have already used its power. Give me the stone and you can go free if not..”
Codis was unable to finish as Alistair charged at him. A silhouette of a running hound traveled with him.
I went to engage the disciples.
'Lv3 51/100 Misty Fist, Lv3 102/200 Adrenaline Rush' I let it wash over me. I didn't let it go fool blast just letting go for my eyes and ears to react better. I coated my sword that I moved into my non-dominant left hand with 'Lv5 191 /370 Biotic Shielding'. My Right hand was fully coated with misty fist.

I moved up to the first squire. I moved around to his side and struck hard with the sword in my left. He did what I hoped he would do. He moved to the right. I pressed forward into him as quick as I could. I struck my right arm outward catching him in the gut.
”Kook” He coughed up some blood. He didn't go down. He was tougher than he looked.
On my left side, the second squire moved up. Striking against me. I placed my sword to parry to take most of the damage.

This damage is negligible. But it will add up, have to finish one at a time.
The third squire started to cast magic. No, that isn't right it seems way different. Have no idea which type.
I circled around the two squires. I swung the sword at the back of his leg. Hoping it would drop him down. He slightly bucked I took that chance to stab him in the neck at a downward angle. I was unable to penetrate deeply with my fingers. I settled for ripping off what I could.
”I will kill you mongrel. You are not worthy of the stone or its power.” I could hear Codis yelling I was not dumb enough to look back towards that fight.
”Heh, my people are the true masters of the Zodiac Saints power. You filthy Braves are gonna die. This I swear!” Alistair yelled out.
The second squire stopped his attack and stepped back. Next thing I knew he jumps into the air. 'For fuck's sake, he had dragoon abilities. I have no idea who he was attacking but I just need to move somewhere else to avoid it.'
The first squire was not having that apparently. His hands darted out and scrunched his face.
Black lines appeared out of the ground and surrounded me. I could no longer move, but my hands were still good to go. I looked at the lines and remembered the name of this skill. It's called Pitfall. A skill Geomancy use that inflicts rift damage on a person or group. The side effect being immobilized for a while.

'Yup these guys are pretty strong. Time to use more abilities. Lvl1 103/2300 Rune Magic activate.'
I triggered rune magic to help myself out. The surrounding air changed as I pulled in the manifesting droplets. A thin water creature started to form then disappeared into countless water droplets. I used some of the water to thrust my hand downward propelling me into the air over the squire-geomancer.
I used a sweep kick to trip him.

”A demon. He houses a demon! He's a demon worshipper kill him no matter the cost. The heathen must not be allowed to escape.” The squire who used geomancy on me called out before I tripped him up. His face became more visible to me now.
He was a pretty boi. I don't like pretty boys so what call me petty. I reared back and kicked him across the face.
With a kick across the face, he went out like a light.
”Hey, I don't have a demon in me or blood in me. Unlike your so-called leaders, I am not summoning demons from hell or wherever to rule this place.” I retorted back towards the squire-caster and the guy in the air. I was not gonna let this little whelping name sling whatever they wanted at me.
At that time she finished her spell. A giant flaming creature appeared in the sky. His horn caught fire as he raised his hands in the air and bought it downward engulfing me in flames. I didn't' have a fast enough reaction time to move after that kick.

As the area cleared I was fucking pissed. I was hit with a damn Ifrit! A fucking Ifrit! She pumped a lot of magic into that attack. The worst part is my damn pather abilities are telling me she is innocent the same as her brother.
”Little girl that was a really bad move! I am going to crush your filthy corrupted so-called Zodiac Braves. And reveal the twisted people in your church. You should take your brother and leave.” The power from Marvel was keeping my pyscho power from going haywire. But it didn't stop my other power from rising up to match it.
I walked up to her as I gathered my strength. I could feel my Biotics going into overdrive keeping my wounds closed. I stopped a little past where I jumped up from.
”You lie!.” Said the caster. She grabbed her axe and bought it to my face with a mighty swing. I felt the force but not the blow itself. White light surrounded her for a moment.

She barely scrapped me and only did 5 damage. I guess I lucked out. But not too lucky as the squire-dragoon landed. He lunged forward stabbing me in the gut. I need to pay attention to positioning.

”Fuck boy! You got in really deep there.” I looked at the sword in my gut. I let some pyscho power flow out to help me ignore the pain there. ”My turn now kiddo,” I said as I gritted my teeth. I swung my left arm down breaking his sword with the force of the blow and my biotics.

The squire-dragoon went flying tumbling outward pass the squire-summoner. The biotic energy from the shield bolstered my healing and closing the wound.
”Dammit, I should have swung up or to the side. At least that way he would have traveled more. Best not make that mistake again.” Mumbling out loud, I looked at how he bounces from the blow.
”Brother!” She screamed out! ” You insolent cur, you will pay for that.” Turning to me she was reading another swing. I was just a little faster.
”Woah there, I didn't even swing for a killing blow on him. The only one I killed was that other guy and he deserves it. As well as that corrupted Beoulve. I will kill you if I have to child!” I said sternly to her while moving sideways to get away from the blow.
”Shutup your the corrupted one! You killed an entire village abusing the power of the Zodiac stone.” She said as more white light gathered around her.
”Yeah not gonna lie but you and your brother are being duped. Those people are alive.” I looked at her sadly. I don't have time to change her mind or her brother. Codis needs to be dealt with.
Using the condensed water that gathered I coated it around my arm. I sent my arm out like a rocket. A giant aquatic hand went outward. Catching her dead center in the chest propelling her outward. I willed the claws to clutch.
