Welcome to Gaia! ::

[You're fine, I think it's cool that somebody else actually wants to just in with my insanity. xd *contemplates posting before work*]

*Sadie had been thrown bakwards and into a wall. She had been caught off guard. Her pokemon stood near her. She lay on her stomach on the nasty ground. Her eyes were closed and apparently uncounscious. The back of her head was dotted with blood now from striking the wall. Her pokemon looked down at her then toward Sphinx.*

Razor: That was uncalled for you big brute. *Razor hissed walking toward Sphinx rubbing his scythes together.* She was only trying to help your bloody owner.

*Cyclone said nothing as he remained at Sadie's side. She shuddered a bit as she tried to regain her consciousness. But it was a loosing battle at the moment. He looked toward Poke, but gave a glare as to get away from them. This wasn't her fight and apparently he wasn't going to let her interfear.*

*Razor got to about a foot away from Sphinx, his eyes glowing with his own rage. He was one that never wanted to see his trainer hurt, even if it were he that was makking the blood show.* "Now you pay." He spat leaping at Sphinx, ignoring the fact that Sphinx was holding someone.*

woo, you're always fun to roleplay with, and so is kesmi XP

*Cyclone watched Poke, making sure he remained between her and his trainer. Even though he knew Poke could help, he had sworn to not let anyome harm his trainer. Razor backed off from Sphinx and looked at Ran.* "You dare get in my way? Foolish mistake." He spat going at Ran this time. Not caring that the pokemon was higher leveled then him.

*Slowly sadie started to move, her head pounded as though a building had been dropped on her. With a groan she pushed herself off the filthy ground. Her movements were shaky and off balance. Cyclone helpped Sadie sit up as she reached to the back of her head. She winced as new strands of pain streaked over her skull. Cursing she pulled her hand away and pulled her hood up over her head to act like nothing was wong.*

"Razor, stand down. This isn't the time or place." Sadie shouted as she stood and started walking off down the alley. She used to wall for balance and cyclone helped her as well. *Razor grunted and quickly followed his trainer. He walked behind her just incase she fell backwards.*

"Maybe next time you won't jump to conclusions" Sadie hissed as she passed Sphinx on her way out.*

[I'm going to try my best to reply to everything. So, if I for get something I'm very sorry. XD]

Hitsuzen had tilted her head to one side to watch Sphinx storm off, and it was only moments before she realized what he was up to. When she heard a man screaming out, she knew that he'd caught to one who'd shot at them. She couldn't see them, but she could hear any speech quite clearly. She gave a quiet, short laugh. "Such a good boy."

She could see Sadie close by, lying against the side of the nearest building. She frowned a bit, though she knew better than to say anything just now. Sphinx had good reason to feel threatened by her, considering their encounter earlier. Of course, she became a bit concerned as everyone turned their attention to her furious pet.

Sphinx only glanced to one side as Razor threatened him, baring his teeth in a snarl. He still had the human firmly pinned to the wall, with no visible intentions of calming down. Another growl rumbled in his chest as he used his free hand to grab hold of his left wrist, digging claw like nails into the skin. As the man began his whimpers, Sphinx shifted his weight to raise a foot to his chest and gripped the upper part of the man's arm in his other hand.

If not for the situation, one might be amused by the position. Sphinx balanced on one leg, pinning the man at his chest now by one leg alone. Though, from the look of discomfort on the pinned one's face, there was still a good amount of weight put against him. There was a pause, and Sphinx finally met the gaze of his victim as he opened his eyes. The dark smirk on his face was quickly noted, "Oh ********..." The man choked, struggling with his weak legs to try and push himself away.

Sphinx gave a cry of frustration, pressing harder against the man's chest as he tightened the grip on his arm. Then, he jerked his torso backward, pulling the arm foreword as quickly and as hard as he could manage without sending himself off balance. The loud, hollow pop from the human's shoulder was still audible above his scream, as his arm was pulled from the socket.

Sphinx carelessly let the limb drop limply to the man's side, and then retracted his foot to stand upright. This left the man to fall foreword in a heap at Sphinx's feet, clutching his shoulder and groaning in pain. Glancing ways to Poke, Sphinx tensed a bit. Though, thankfully he didn't seem as though he wanted to attack her. More or less, surprised that someone had come up to him.

"You misunderstand," He stated simply, wrinkling his feline nose at the man writhing about on the ground. "I am protecting her, and I'll kill anyone who brings her harm..." He finished in a hiss, and he heard the human whimper. Without warning, he raised a foot to stomp hard on one side of his ribcage. The erratic gasping and cries that followed strongly suggested that he may have broken a rib or two.

Satisfied for the moment as he stood normally once more, he returned his attention to Poke and listened to her explanation. He'd heard of the bow weapon that Poke referred to, and he sneered a bit at the thought. When she had finished, he shook his head a bit. He went silent for a moment, and then recalled. "I felt something hit me, too." He put a hand to his chest plate, gesturing as well to the stones there. "The...bullet?"

Worry began to set in again as Poke walked off, and he stared in their direction for several seconds before returning his attention to the human who was struggling to get to his hands and knees. Another swift kick, this time upward and into his gut, and he hit the ground again. He gave only an arrogant snort in reply to Sadie's statement, uncaring.

Hitsu had somehow managed to get herself sitting upright while Poke had gone to speak with Sphinx, her two Pokemon helping to hold her there as both used their necks to support her underneath the arms. "Forgive him..." She requested as Poke returned, "I got a bit more than I expected, when I asked for something that would remain loyal..."

She winced a bit, another pain flaring up in her chest. "One passed through..." She replied, "If the other is there, it'll only hurt for a day or two." Wait, was she in her right mind? "I don't need a hospital, but thank you for your concern." She eyed the first aid kit quietly.

As Poke wrapped her wounds in bandages, she clenched her jaws rather frequently to resist any sounds of discomfort. In Sphinx's mood, she wasn't about to give him reason to assume that she was being injured further. When she had finished, Hitsu examined them a bit before speaking up. "Thanks, I wouldn't have figured anyone would have come to help."

Hitsu nodded, "Yes, it is. Though sometimes he gets too caught up in the defending, as you saw..." She leaned her head to one side, gesturing towards Sphinx. "In the time I've had with him, I don't think I'd ever seen him so angry. Or, so frightened, as he was before. I won't be surprised if he refuses to let me set foot here after this. I'm glad, though, that you were here. I must admit, this place doesn't seem to suit you at all." She chuckled, "You're not hiding a darker side, are you?" Obviously, she was being sarcastic.

It was strange, how she didn't seem too phased by her wounds at this point. When Poke questioned it, she grinned a bit. Hitsu kept forgetting, it was unusual to them. "Twice, actually." She corrected with a smirk, finally choosing to raise an arm. Thankfully, no pain from that. She was somewhat thankful for the darkness around them, it apparently hid the abnormal color of her blood. Not red, but black as tar. "A human would be dead, yes." She stated simply, "I'm sure the bullet won't cause any further harm. I'll get it out later, if need be." Now, that was a disturbing thought. "I can regenerate, quite quickly actually." She replied, as though it were normal.

Sphinx turned his head to look over at Ran, "He tried to kill my Mistress." He actually managed to speak calmly to the Vaporeon, "Would you not make someone suffer, if they did something like this to your friend over there?" As he spoke, he reached down to grab the man by the front of his clothes again. This time, it was much easier to pin him against the wall, he was growing weak.

"Such a pathetic creature," He hissed, leaning up to look him in the eye. It impressed him that the human was still conscious, really. He brought his nose inches from the man's face, "Tell me. Do you expect forgiveness for this?" The human was shaking at this point, and did not reply. What was he expected to say? "It would bring me happiness... To witness your soul devoured." That statement made the man whimper. "Alas, I cannot..." He continued, appearing a bit disappointed. "But, it is my judgment that will send you to them."

One could only guess that he was speaking of his own Ancient Gods, and silently Sphinx hoped that somehow this man would be faced with them in his afterlife. Oh, how he wished. "Let me go..." The man pleaded, "I don't deserve to die!" The volume raised in his voice, as though he figured that he'd intimidate Sphinx. Right. These statements were met with a deep growl, "Hold your tongue!" That shut him up.

"Actually, I remember now..." Sphinx stated, "I remember what it was I said I would do." He grinned darkly, and lunged foreword. Raising a foot, he brought his knee upwards in one quick movement to smash into a part of him that he knew would make any male scream.

Scream he did, and Sphinx quickly hooked two fingers on his lower jaw as he brought a thumb under his chin. "I've got to do something about that tongue." He hissed, and before the man could react Sphinx jerked his arm backward. A sickening crack rang out, followed by a sound best described as ripping. His screams sounded quite desperate, but that was about to be remedied.

The jaw of the human had been broken, ripped from the joints that once held it in place. Sphinx hadn't pulled it from his skull entirely, but the man's cheeks and downward on his jaw had been torn open. This left only muscle to hold his jaw bone there, and it dangled awkwardly when Sphinx released it. The human was choking on his own blood now, and what was not threatening to invade his throat or mangled mouth ran down onto his neck and chest. Gruesome.

*Sadie had walked a few allies over and collapsed against a wall. Her head still pounded and moving wasn't helping. Cyclone and Razor stood guarding two directions, watching for anything that deemed a threat. Sadie shuddered off and on as she leaned against the wall. Her eyes were closed adn the scar on her face glowed darkly and that wasn't helping either. blood streaked down from the edges of the scar and down her chin. While small amounts of blood matted her already dark colored hair. Her pokemon kept watch even though their worries were for their trainer then their own safety.*
