FimbulvetrDeathmatchPart II: Burning CrimsonSomewhere in IcelandNoon, Heavily Snowing, 650 BCE Blood and bone fragments touch Vavil's dark blue skin as the crimson essence of his life drips and splats against the ground and stains the snow. Breathing heavily as pain shoots up to his shoulder, he grunts "
Dagon's...eyes! Pay with your blood!", with the opening of his mouth revealing an orange glow rising out of his throat. He lets loose a deep croon, unlike a human or elf to produce, before fire shoots from his parted lips straight towards Johnny Cash. [3 v 6] Ducking down to avoid a jet of flame aimed right at his face, Johnny then rolls out of the way as the last stream of plasma darts straight down towards the ground, melting even more snow in it's path of destruction. As the fire fades away, Vavil lets out a cough as soot sticks to his teeth, before shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
Back on his feet after being stunned by the Phantom Animatronic, Kai Müller begins sprinting with his brother towards the nearest river in the area. It doesn't take long to find one, of course, given...
Iceland, and right there, in the water, sits their singular canoe. It's not much, but it should be enough to put some distance between them and their five opponents for the time being. Getting in, the Slalom Canoeists put their paddles in the frigid, but unfrozen aqua and begin to row for their lives. [5+4 (Kai
and Kevin's bonuses)] They start moving through the water like a fish hungry for blood, keeping pace with their greatest competitive feats as they start heading North, up the river.
Leaping through the forest like a spider-monkey, his fancy dress shoes only touch branches for seconds at a time before he leaps again, the gymnastic talent of Ambassador Benjamin [Spot: 1+2 (Gymnastics)] unfortunately leads him no closer to the Guardian Stones. In fact, at one point, he trips up and begins falling back down to Earth. [6+2 (Gymnastics)] Fortunately, he breaks his fall by moving into a roll, and arriving back on his feet. His suit is covered in show, but it's better than breaking his left arm at the elbow or having his jaw snapped by a Catholic with a shiny sword. Pursing his lips at the oddly specific scenarios running through his head, Jon looks around his current location to see if anything's going on near him. [Spot: 3] But it just looks like a frozen forest, with no real landmarks or sense of placement.
Steely eyed with her spear held ready to strike, the Valkyrie weighs her options as Jasper continues encircling the battlefield with her on him. Kai and Kevin, the boatsmen, would've been good targets had they not been wielding a strange, invisible magic that uprooted the ground in front of them. What of the Elf? No, no, there was no true glory in stealing another's conquest to reap glory. The fleeing man, hopping through trees? He was far gone. That left the artificial Jotun, reminding the Valkyrie of beings like Surtr in spite of the futuristic materials it was made from. Slinging her spear across her back, she secures her Javelin and holds it above her head as Jasper moves in to strike. That giant red eye would make a
fine target, indeed. [5 v 3] Once again, the Javelin's "larger-than a bullet" size and slower speed compared to one makes it just as effective against the Kinetic Barrier as a simple throwing knife. Once it flies through the air, it finds purchase directly in the Ogre's metal frame. It misses the eye, leaving that part fully operational, but the angle of the shaft of the Javelin covers it's lower quadrant, making it more difficult for the Mech to aim at things below it.
Standing up after the barrage of fire left Johnny Cash breathing deeply for a second. But as he did, each breath sounded more like a chuckle, rising wryly from a primal bloodlust deep in his chest. Maybe it was the Chevalier speaking through his soul, demanding to feed on Vavil's lifeforce. Perhaps his Fanatic tendency to wish to set fire to the Elf? Or it could simply be his true state as an Einherjar, encouraging him to kill and train and
prepare. In any case, as he stands back up, his grin sharpens tight. "
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." he declares. "
What d'ya think I'll do to you, Elf-fella?" At this, Vavil merely grunts "
What...in Oblivion is a "Reno?", before Johnny charges towards him, mace aimed for his jaw. [5 v 6] Vavil ducks back just in time to dodge the mace strike, stepping backwards and eyeing up Johnny Cash as he recovers from his swing.
Sparks flies from the wounds in the Ogre Mech as it stomps towards the Valkyrie, aiming for her with it's Pulse Rifle while she rides atop Jasper. [9 v 2+2] Three shots burst from the rifle towards the Valkyrie, who is unable to raise her shield in time with her free hand on Jasper's reins. Only two shots connect, the first compromising the armor around her midriff, and the second then blasting through the steel like a 5.56 through a slice of moist cake, blasting through the side of her belly and out the back of her armor. [Control: 9+2 (Horseback Riding)] Astoundingly, the pain barely phases her, as she not only gets right back to riding Jasper, she then charges towards the Mech, no fear, with a spear in hand. [9 v 2] She slams the spear into the Ogre's eye, finally blinding it as she also retrieves her Javelin before trotting off. It's right then that Hannah, still a hybrid of her two forms, rounds the corner of her tree cover and fires a single blast from her Raikou at Jasper the horse. [3 v 8] It misses by what seems like a mile, only serving to get Jasper moving faster in fear.

Allies: Ogre Mech (a massive, synthetic powerhouse that can utilize either a Pulse Rifle or a Storm Launcher to inflict pain. However, it's eye and arms are very obvious targets, either depriving it of it's ability to discern between friend and foe (in addition to being unable to see at all), or disabling it's weapons.
Movement Servo damaged in it's right arm, and a throwing knife is stuck in it.)
