Utopia Burns

[Angder]

Karthus:

Karthus got to his feet as the first shots were heard and opened the floor door "They need our help, Now" he hissed, and dived down the hole, into the sewers.

-------------
Illusion:

Meanwhile from just inside Lennox's house, standing at the back door, Illusion heard the shots almost directly behind him, but then he heard a second volley, this time below him. He could see the kid, he was just standing there, over the hole. Bloody idiot. He Ran forward, making for the tunnel "Run You FOOL!" he screamed.

He drew his strange crystal, currently in the shape of a throwing axe, as he entered the sewers...

"There he goes...." Shazza flew his orb around and paused for a second to eat a candy bar and a peanuts & oatmeal bar.
"If I don't find them soon.. I'm gonna *chewing* get tired and my orb will dissipate. *chewing* ....gotta blind something or get someone to follow my orb."
Shazza controlled the orb through the sewers until he found the exit and guided it through.
Looking around the back area of the house, he sees some fur hiding behind a dumpster.
"Hello, I am your only way out here for now. There's a van out by another block. I'll help you get there."

Bullets tore through the air now as they attempted to single out the warrior in the shadows. He took cover behind a steel dumpster and began returning fire with the gun he stole from the cop. A bullet ricochet of the dumpster inches from him "damn it" he cursed as he fellthe officer that had fired it. I need an escape he thought.

[Tim Siguire]

"My name is Shazza. I am part of the renegades who will win back our freedoms." he spoke through the orb. "You get there to the van and we can take you to our HQ. We offer shelter, food, help, and independence."
The orb blinked with a soft halo and a split shine of light flew down the yards and street towards where the van was.
It was going in a direction that would be safest to run to the van.

Lennox didn't know who this guy was but he seemed to be on his side so he followed him into the sewers.

[Angder]

Fuse Peers down the hole, the sound of bullets was getting louder, "Is karthus going to be alright down there?" he asked "It sounds pretty nasty"

[Tina]

As Lennox tried to catch up with Illusion, he turned a corner only to find a solid brick wall. "That's strange..." Lennox could have swore he saw the guy run down this way. As he turned around to go another way he saw Kathus blocking his path.
"Who are you and what are you doing down here!" Karthus said not moving a muscle.
"Wo take it easy pal, i'm just trying to get the hell out of here before th cops find me." Lennox holding his paws up. This guy didn't look like a police officer but he didn't look friendly.
"Then your the kid..."  "...my team is here to rescue you but you have to do exactly what we say."
"What if i don't trust you"
"Then you out of luck, cause right now you don't have many options." Lennox considered his words for a moment.
"Fine i guess your right."
"Then come on, my team is in a firefight with the police and your help would be apriciated. We need to get them out of there."
"What about the guy i just tried to follow?"
"That's Illusion, don't worry about him he's probably escaped by now."
"Alright if you say so." With that the two went off to help the rest of the group with the police.

Bullets continued to fly through the air as shot after shot was exchanged. I new he could tear through them easy enough if he could get close enough to use ryegard but that option was out. He had one escape he put his hand against the side of the dumpster and opened the flow of energy through his body "threock" the dumpster shot sideway through the wall with him right behind it. He stopped just inside the building gasping for air theworld spinning around him, suddenly he mentors words resounded through his mind about never using too much of your own energy in a spell always use the energies around he would scold. Now as the world spun and he fell to one knee he feared that in a moment of combat he had used to much of himself. "No" his voiced suprised him, he pushed himself back to his feet "im not diein from such a rookie mistake". He quickly regained himself as he heard the police advancing on him a quick study of the building told him up was the way to go.

[Tim Siguire]

"...what?....." Shazza watched the dumpster just suddenly fly. He looked, finding a big hole in a building.
"Did he not hear what I said?" Rrrgh... Im growing weak... must do something now.
Shazza took a deep breath and gathered some aggresive meditation energy. With the power he had, he flew the orb past every officer in the front, making them slightly frantic. After he got their attention he floated above them, just a foot or two.
"Ok, you can do this...." With a loud hum and a grunt, Shazza focused his energy into the orb and in a second it flashed, then a brilliantly bright light shined from the orb. So bright it hurt. Random officers were blinded as others couldn't look up or out their cars without going blind. After a little time, the orb violently and sharply flashed, disorienting the already blinded officers.
After the flashing ended, the orb exploded with an elecric pulse and temporarily shut down anything camera related.

Karthus and Lennox finally got to the hole only to met by police gunfire.
"Crap!" Karthus ducked for cover behind a cross section as did Lennox.
"Well this is fine mess you have lead me into." Lennox said as he pulled out his .10 Pistol and took pot shot around the corner.
"Shut up, my team should be just past these guys. The thing is i have no clue how we're going to get past." Karthus said
"Well if that's where they are i've got a plan." Lennox holstered his pistol and began to run in place.
"What are you doing?" Karthus asked more than confused.
"Agility, agility, agility, agility!" Lennox began moving faster and faster until his movements were a blur as red energy poured from his body.. He jumped out from cover and drew his knives.
"Quick attack!" In the blink of an eye he propelled himeself at the police, crashing through there lines. The police had no time to react as Lennox used his knives to cut all their weapons to pieces before knocking them out with one punch to the forhead. In a few minutes the police that were blocking the hole were all out cold and Lennox fell to a knee exausted.
"Damn it! Warn me when your going to pull a stunt like that." Karthus ran up and helped Lennox to his feet.
"I said i had a plan, didn't I?" Lennox said in between breaths with a cocky smile.
"Whatever just don't over exert yourself, kid."
"I'm 17, i'm not a kid." Lennox retorted a little weakly.
"You're a kid in my book. Now lets get my team out of here." Lennox nodded and the two climbed out of the hole.
"There's Kalan. Hey over here, quickly!" Karthus yelled and waved to Kalan to get over here.

A blinding light ignited the night even inside the building with no more than windows to shine through kalan still found himself temporary blinded and disoriented. He could've warned me he was gonna do that he thought. He blinked trying to clear the haze out of his eyes. Couldnt rely on his eyes, at least not for the moments, but shazza had given him an escape route and he had to take it. He dropped the gun it would tell the blinded officers where he was. His ears perked up he could hear the confused officers outside his nose picked up the scent of the van. He drew ryegard allowing his thumb and forefinger to find the point of balance just behind the crossguard. He dropped out the nearest window, the minute he felt his feet hit the ground he moved toward the van. It was apparent that some of the officers had began to reorganize, speed was of the essence. The first cop too come within striking distance fell to ryegards blade another one swung his rifle only to fall to the ground his throat now missing. The next minute or so felt as an eternity most cops attacked blindly quick to fall, some cops had however became aware of what was happening. A cop rushed at him with a can of mace he turned his head and covered his eyes in time to avoid a direct spray but he felt the effects non the less. He felt a sharp pain in his side looking down he saw the officer had stuck a knife in his side just above his waist. Battle rage flashed through his mind with a quick twist he swung around and hit the cops arms shattering it the cops screams were cut short as kalan took his head with ryegard. Time blurred as he tore through two more before making a break for an alley near the van. He counted at least 8 dead in his tracks. He heard some shouting and turned to see what he assumed was the kid and krathus he moved there direction.

[Tina]

"Damn it, we got to move!" Karthus yelled and ran for the van with Lennox close behind. Police had recovered from the blast and were right on their heels.
"Your to slow we won't make it." Lennox said still heaving from the previous fight.
"What are you talking about your the one who's..." Karthus didn't get a chance to finish as he was scooped up by Lennox who began running at top speed putting a lot of distance between them and the police. His whole body felt like it was on fire as he pushed his magic to its limits just to get away. As he ran caught up to Kalan he scooped him up in his other arm and continued. Lennox was was almost to the van when his eyelids started to feel heavy and his body numb. He collasped on the ground just in front of the van, dropping both Kalan and Karthus, and lost all consiousness. Karthus got up and quickly dusted himself off.
"Your damn careless is what you are." Karthus said as he picked up Lennox by the back of his clothes and threw him in the back of the van. The police were far behind, even out of view, but were still coming as siren could be heard in the distance. Karthus turned his attention towards Kalan.
"Come on lets get the out of here before the cops come." Karthus said before hopping in the back.

[kalan]

Kalan jumped into the van. Turning back towards the police he held out his hand he lower the barrier again and let the energy flow thru him this time reaching out the bodies of the dead cops stealing what energy they yet had in them. He reached out his hand "hithren traoak grensaf" a ribbon of fire appear between the van and the cops before casting itself down on the ground. A very audible whomp crackled through the night as the ground caught fire. "Do you have everybody" he said turning around and closing the door behind himself

[Tim Siguire]

"Took everyone long enough..." Shazza walked into the back looking at everyone there.
"I feel like someone... might be missing." Shazza scratched the fur on his arm & wrist, then he brushed his troughs back and blinked a couple times.
"Job well finished. Could've ended better but things happen. Still, good job." Shazza looked like he was about to pass out, like he didn't get sleep.

"where is Shepard" fuse asked, concerned "also Lock, and... and the dragon?" Fuse looked around, but could see no trace of them...
