San shou didn't normally like this forest compared to the misty forest as it was hot and made him irritable. San shou was wondering what creatures lived in this forest compared to the misty forest. He made a squelching sound with every step. He was trying to listen to the sound of the creature moving about their daily business but it was cut off by the downpour.
He had heard strange tail about this place, such as a terrible tribe, vicious shaman, deadly animals and poison bugs and plants. He was thinking about his own encounters with evil and thought that his chances of surviving his walk through this forest were pretty high. He had encountered no signs of any harm directed at him, no signs of anything life threatening but he knew not to let himself be lulled into a false sense of security.
It had stopped raining now and the sun gleamed through the treetops to the ground. The floor was soggy and uneven it was hard to walk on. San shou decided that he would try his luck jumping through the branches of the trees.

He climbed up a fairly short tree in comparison to the rest and worked his way up to the tops of the trees. As he was scanning through the tree looking for suitable places to step and jump he found himself on the end of a branch looking for a place to jump. With a giant crash the branch snapped. Falling through the trees to the instant death that awaited him below. He fell into a branch that snapped under his force, then another then another. He knew he was quite near the floor now as the tree tops we quite a way up. He landed on the floor with a THUD!!
"arrrggggghhhhh!"He cried out in pain.
He tried to stand but his legs wouldn't listen, again he tried to upright himself, but to no avail. He was stuck. He knew he hadn't broken any bones but still his back needed time to heal, more than this situation warranted. even a baby could kill me at this point
Just three huge white figures came darting through the trees and landed next to him. He gazed at them, his mouth fell open in awe. Stood before him were three Giant white tigers. Then he noticed that there was something scary about them.
All along their bodies were black cracks that seemed to glow black. One looked at him then spoke,"you will do nicely for our masters ritual, you will come with us and then you will die"
There wasn't anything he could do at the moment I only prey that i heal in time to escapeIn a desperate attempt San shou screamed "HEEEEEELLPP!"hoping someone near buy would hear him. Then the middle tiger looked at him,"yes,go on call for help. you saviour will soon join you in death "he relied with nothing but evil in his voice.
San shou truly was done for.

As Alcemy was ready to leave the forest he heard a cry for help. He turned around trying to pinpoint were the cry for help came from. He charged east to were he heard the cry." Damm I hope Iam not to late." From afar he could see three giant white tigers. He Also saw a giant man on his knees.

Still running he took out his katana and chackram. First he threw his chackram to mear by tree to get the tigers attention. The scheem worked the lost sight of the giant man. Alcemy tried to help up the giant, but was useless he was to heavy. He then turned around to see that the tigers were now constrating on him.

"So you also want to become a sacrafice!" one of the tigers yelled out in laughter. Alcemy ready with his katana stood his ground. he was not about to let them sacrafice him. He looked back at the giant he knew he wouldnt be able to stand up. " Here," handing his katana over to the giant.

Alcemy took out his master keyblade that he used only in surtian occasions."I hope you know how to use a katana," looking ahead at the tigers they were about to fight. Alcemy wasnt shure if he could protect the giant. They were both out numbered." Look I'll take the center one and the left one mean while you take the right one,alright." They were both ready to fight knowing they might not come out alive.

Earlier on in the day, there was a wandering bard of Arda, enjoying the humidity, as much of an oxymoron as that my be, in the forest here. He still had his Lute and Rapier at his back and side. When he heard the scream from some man through all the trees, he had decided to investigate. He had his Rapier sheathed at his left side as he ran through the jungle. Not too long after the scream, there came voices, talking of battle. The Bard had only ran 20 or so more feet when he discovered the source of all the noise, two men and three white tiger-like beasts.

Look I'll take the center one and the left one mean while you take the right one, alright? caught the Bard's mind and he lept to the aid of the two men, drawing his Rapier out fast. He looked to the voice that had said that and saw that the figure held a keyblade, and also wore a certain ring...it was Alcemy from the Guild. "Hope you don't mind a little help..." he said to the duo. He then turned and looked at the fallen giant, "Are you able to stand?" not before he could get a response, one of the creatures roared "A third! Are we in luck, master will be pleased!"

" You had to come, o well i do need the help,"Alcemy said with laughter." here you take the laft leave me the center one with the big mouth." He then charged at the center one. As got closer he slid under it pucnching it in the chest. In anger the tiger turned around."You will be the fist to be sacrificed,"with loud growl. The tiger charged at Alcemy.

Alcemy though it would be better if they fought somewere else. So he ran away to a sacluded place."I caught you know," the tiger said with a smirk on his face. " Look behind you." As the tiger looked back Alcemy kicked him on the face."Ahhhh," the tiger yelled out in pain. It seemed as if Alcemy was toying with the tiger. As Alcemy got near the tiger to kill it in a quick sweep of the tigers claw dirt was thrown at Alcemy's eyes.

The tiger then with his giant,massive claw slashed at Alcemy sending him crashing through at least three trees. Alcemy tried to geet up but was stomped by the tiger." You will become my Pray," he told Alcemy.Alcemy couldnt wistand the weight of the the tiger pressing against his chest.

He reached for his back pulled out his chackram. As the tiger was getting ready to take a bite of Alcemy, he threw the chackram slashing one of the tigers eyes. The tiger was stummbleling backwards. Alcemy got up pressing against his chest with his right arm. Alcemy picked up his chackram. walked towards the tiger. As he got closer he started to charge at him.

He threw the chackram slashing the tiger on both of his right paws making him go on his knees. He then slashed the other two paws with his keyblade.The tiger was yelling out in pain. The tiger begged Alcemy to spare his life."You ambushed that giant, but did you show him mercy?""No you didn't, so why should I?" before the tiger could answer Alcemy had struck him on the chest killing him.

He started to run towards the others.

As Alcemy led the Tiger beast away to fight it privately, Blank had assumed a well balanced fighting stance, with his left foot placed horizontally, and his right one pointing straight at the tiger, forming a makeshift 'T'. The tiger had started it's charge, and Blank had lowered the point of the Rapier so the Tiger's options were as such...skewer, or go around to one of the sides and get it's side split with a slash in either direction. He also knew the Tiger being was not so stupid...

As the Tiger charged, Blank lept up like an Acrobat, performed a backflip in midair, and thrust his Rapier into the back of the creature, pulling back as he did. The result was the splitting of the beast from neck to tail. The body of the creature went rigid, then limp and hit the ground in a red cloud of dust and Blank focused his attention on the Beasy advancing on the Giant. "Hey, One Eye!" he shouted to the beast, who turned it's two eyes upon him, "Oh yeah..." and with that, Blank hurtled his rapier straight through the left eye and retrieved it as the beast howled.

As Alcemy got closer to area were he left the giant he could see that Blank had taken out the tiger. Tired from fighting still injured he decided to leave the ohter one to Blank. He walked up to the giant got his katana back put it into its holster. He then left into the forest without iturrupting Blank. He knew that Blank could take the tiger.His final words before disapearing into the woods were."I am done, I am no longer needed."

Blank had been keeping to the final creatures blind spot, after he had blinded it, the tiger must have caught his scent or seen him with his good eye, for a surprise lunge, caught the Bard off his guard, the tiger being lept and swung it's giant paw down at Blank, who deftly attempted to dodge it, only to be grazed under the cheek and be tripped by the tiger's other swinging paw.

"Not bad..." Blank taunted the creature as he rolled back to his feet. He wiped some of the blood off of his cheek from the gash the thing left. "Your turn." he said, and with that he charged it down, feinting with his rapier he flew left, the tiger took the bait and lunged. Blank immediately backflipped to the right and plunged his sword through the throat of the beast. He then turned to the Giant.

"You never answered me earlier, are you alright, can you stand up?"

San shou stood up and said "yes i am fine now,i only wish you left some for me." just as he said that a man dropped behind him The shaman Behind him landed six more of those wierd tigers and two fully grown apes with the same darkness glowing from them,"you'll never destroy us,never"
San shou looked at his new friend and said "I beleive its my turn..."and with that he charged into battle drawing his mace.......

Xantere had a strange feeling from when he first heard a distress call. His acute hearing helped as he ran towards the fight scene ready to join his 0old friend san shou. As he grew vision of a huge elemental he darted up a tree and without looking, he drove down his scimitar into a strange white lions back as soon as it pounced. " you really have to stop getting in trouble" xantere laughed and saw his friend not in much of a happy mood! "oh". He turned to see a shaman whispering something and summoning a great fireball towards him. Luckily he dived away just in time yet burnt slightly on 1 shoulder. "GGGRRRRRR" he screamed and charged into battle..................

"Damn" Blank swore at the sight of even more. "Well, at least you'll get some for yourself." he joked to his large friend, who charged into battle, wielding a large mace. His blade would have a lot of work today then, he thought to himself as he flew over to join the giant in the fray that was taking place without him. Blank was counting the enemies and weighing the odds. Eight on three... he thought. Piece of cake! with that he lept over to where the two Dark Apes stood, their jaws and fists waiting for him to reach them.

One of the apes, let out a scream of their species as he approached, Blank was playing a soft soothing melody on the lute and the ape looked at him transfixed. As the dazed apes moved forward, one went forward to touch the instrument and Blank stopped playing. The fury resumed in the beasts mind and Blank had an internal conflict. They were not heartless killing machines, and he felt terrible now.

He joined the new fighter who apparently knew the Giant, and walked up to the Shaman who, clambering to his feet after diving out of the way of the fireball, was muttering some kind of incantation. Blank did not bother with the sword, he swung his fist as hard as possible, the force of which, knocking the shaman back onto the ground. "You sick son of a-" Blank said and went straight for him, he sheathed the Rapier and dove onto him, pummeling him with all the might he had.

Alcemy retuned to were his camrads were. He saw at leaast eight apes.He took out his katana then his keyblade,but kept it hidden under his claok."So theres four of us that means two each." Then the giant charged at one of the apes following was blank going after the shaman. Alcemy started circleling two of the apes.As one turned away he charged at them. He sliced the ape from behind cutting the ape in half. The ether then tried to attck Alcemy from behind,but Alcemy blaocked the attck with his conseild keyblade.

He then turned to face the ape with his katana he managed to cut of the apes leg."Ahhh," the ape yelled in pain staggering back. Alcemy charged at the ape with his katana he managed to slice off the ape hand were he held his club. Then with his keyblade held in his right arm he beheaded the ape."To easy," he said sheathing his katana. Alcemy turned around to see how the others were doing. Again he consield his keyblade under his cloak.

San shou threw his mace at the shaman just missing it as it side-stepped.San shou then took out his nunchucks and started spinnig them. i really dont wanna do this he thought as a sickening sensation built up in his stomach.He slammed his nunchucks into a tigers head.it fell to the floor.Two tigers jumped at him,He stood there and started spinning the nunchucks out in front of him,the tigers stopped in there place confused by the spinning nunchucks.
The shaman meanwhile was battling with Xantere and the other guy.Anger built up inside San shou i cant beleive someone could manipukate these creatures so much. he thought with disgust.

After the fireball swept xanteres shoulder he used a quick light heal life spell making him feel a little better. The shaman swiftly pulled out a hidden dagger and threw it at xantere! as xantere parried the dagger the shaman summoned another two lions with his own will and seeming drained he quickly chugged down a mana potion.


Xantere seing this weakness tried using it to his advantage but it was too late the shaman transformed himself into a towering Lizard Warrior and xantere stood in disbelief. The new warrior threw himself at xantere coming down with two glowing bastard swords on top of xantere.


Xantere dove out of the way just in time and while the warrior was down he jumped onto its back and started slashing. The towering warrior squealed in pain and started falling backward ready to end Xanteres life ..................

Tira heard commotion coming from the forest and decided to cheak it out, She saw the people below the trees fighting. "Hey, picking on helpless tigers is'nt fair" she said jumping down from where she was spying on them. She landed gracefully on the ground and swung her gaint round blade in a circle making it catch fire. She taunted the men attacking the beautiful beasts. She loved to toy and taunt people and now was her chance for some fun

San shou pulled xanteres feet out from the falling giant and was replied to with "thankyou, ill buy the drinks later!". San shou smiled and returned to his fight scene Xantere shouted in midst of the chaos "Tira i know how you feel but these tigers are summoned and dont feel the pain luckily plus they attacked ... "

An ape swang for Xantere knocking him down in that moment but as xantere fell he slit the apes overpowering arm. The summoned ape grabbed his arm in despair and jumped into the branches.

As xantere followed he knew he was in for a battle and his instincts told him something was set out but what...

(ooc: I think you may have skipped my post there Xantere...the Shaman was not in any condition to be throwing knives at you)

Alcemy saw that a mysterios women appeared above the tree's. Alcemy walked towards her. As he did an ape attcked him. He quickly dodged the attack by rolling. He then got up pulling out his cinsield kaeyblade slahing the apes head off. Again he walked towards her. As he got closer he could see that she sided with the apes. She then rose up spinning her chackram making it catch on fire. At this moment Alcemy took out his katana. He stopped to see what she would do next year. He stood there having his left hand infront of him holding his katana behind him he held his keyblade ready for an attack.

San shou saw the woman get ready to attack them."NO WAIT THOSE ARENT NORMAL ANIMALS" He prayed that she heard and beleived him i would never attack a helpless animal ever he thought bitterly.
Just then an ape attacked him,he leapt backwards and swung his nunchucks at it.He wondered that if he killed the shaman would the creatures stop attacking
He would have to find out.

Finally littletim found his quarry. he had been hunting down the defilers for some time and realised he was no good at it; but this fight even he could find. Seeing some of the defiled apes attack another man he couldnot hold back his anger and leapt at the closest beast that was attacking the man, in such haste that he drove the larger creature to the foor. Not caring for his own wellbeing he flailed at it's face with his mace thinking of only one thing to drive the evil from the poor creatures body. Even though the ape was now clearly dead littletim was consumed by so much anger he did not stop beating at it.

Blank paused his relentless beating of the Shaman long enough to draw his curved fighting knife and cut his throat. The Bard wiped the blood off of the blade and noticed some man beating a dead animal with a mace of some sort. "Oi!" Blank yelled, "Stop that! They're not themselves!" he continued, "They're being controlled by these weird shaman people." he guestured with the knife in his hand.

Slowly and undetectedly the Bard slipped a cord-grip handled throwing knife out and held it ready, in case the new man decided to do something incredibly stupid.

(ooc: got to go, sorry, in hurry.)
