The Alleyways

Psht...old I may be, but you're the only windbag around here
*laughs*
Let's go then.
*pops his blade back over his shoulder and stands to the side*
Your move first.

Vlad sighes scratching his head, I always feel mean when I go first... oh well!

Vlad quickly aims the gun at Mael and fires a single clear shot directly at him.

Name: Lightningkinesis and Pyrokinesis
Technique: Stay down
Stamina Required: -7 Intellingence, -15 Strength
HP Deduction: -9; -2 for each post made by user
Description: Only used when an opponent is in mid-strike, the user summons a lightning strike to come down on the opponent paralyzing them temporarily in mid-swing as firey chains come from Mael's hands to go through the opponent causing damage and constant burn damage unless they are able to put out the extremely hot flames(minimum required to douse flames by any means is two posts)
Advantages: Keeps the user from taking damage and causes immense damage in return. Works quickly due to the speed of a lightning strike.
Disadvantages: Keeps Mael from using any Pyrokinesis not directly connected with Gae Bolg or Kenji for the rest of the fight.


*shocks Vlad mid-shot and slams firey chains through his chest*

Come now..you've got to do better than that.

Vlad stood there with the chains sticking into his body looking as if expecting something, he then walks forward through the chains shooting the last five rounds at Mael and swiftly reloading.

Name: Composition
Technique: Phase Shift
Stamina Required: -5 Strength, -9 Intelligence
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Vlad's body becomes slightly unstable granting him the power to walk through walls. This can be used to escape lost battles or perform sneak attacks or just generally skipping halls and such and just gliding through the rooms. In battle it's harder to use but when calm and concentrated Vlad can use it effortlessly. but even the slightest bit of stress or emotion makes it dificult. (So in battle it costs points, outside and in comic relief situations it would be free. It can be used to dodge an attack but that's just boring...)
Advantages: It's great for escaping in confined spaces!
Disadvantages: It only can work in small spurts when exhausted. and it also doesn't work when being attacked by comic relief attacks! =D

Vlad grins Took the words right out of my mouth! Vlad then dives to the side and jumping back pointing hus gun at Mael grinning.

(Yo I just realised something... according to our time line.... world war two hasn't occured yet ._. ..... xD

Name: Phoenix
Technique: Summon Phoenix
Stamina Required: -20 Strength, -7 Intelligence
HP Deduction: -5 if Phoenix is used offensively
Description: Calls upon his pet Phoenix to fly him places, assist him in battle, or help him in other ways such as lifting heavy loads, taking hits in battle, attacking his enemies, or even healing flesh wounds with its tears
Advantages: Can be used by thought, or by voice and the phoenix always comes.
Disadvantages: Can only be used outdoors in a large form, inside it has to be small. Is weak to Ice and earth.

*watches in relief as Kenji flies down, taking the bullets and taking to the air above the fight awaiting another command*

*laughs*
Have fun now..

*calls down a swift lighting strike to wrap Vlad in electricity*

Name: Lightningkinesis
Technique: Shockbind
Stamina Required: -17 Intelligence, -9 Strength
HP Deduction: -9
Description: Calls down and unblockable lightning strike that first enters the opponent's mouth paralyzing their ability to speak and then wrapping around their body sealing all other abilities and keeping them bound by electricity for four posts by the user after the original.
Advantages: Keeps the opponent from moving or using any ability that requires them to speak to use it. Does not fade for any reason other than the four posts being reached or the user's death.
Disadvantages: Cannot penetrate any earthen barrier and must be outdoors to use.

Vlad grins as the ground underneath him turns green glowing filling the alleyway with green light

-Lightning!

As the lightning decends upon Vlad it disperses before it hits him.

-That's a mighty fine parrot you've got there... here I'll show you my doggy in exchange for showin' me your pet!

Vlad keeps grinning as a formless black shape rushes out of his body landing on the ground breathing with a very large breath. As it's two glowing red eyes open at the front all teh remaining eyes over it's body opened at the same moment. It stepped in a puddle as the water underneath evaporated

-This... is Basker Vile!

Vlad whistles and points upwards as Basker Vile bounces from wall to wall at a blurring speed launching upwards to bite at the phoenix

Name: Summon
Technique: Basker Vile The Black Hound
Stamina Required: ~~ Strength, ~~ Intelligence
HP Deduction: ~~ for each attack from Basker Vile

Description: Vlad summons one of his favorite Familiars Basker Vile which is essentially a giant Hell hound of sorts with incredibly sharp teeth, terrifying eyes and a black, almost flame like, pelt. It can be summoned by vladmir anywhere on his body. It will go black then become a a black unsolid material before basker vile rushes out and forms. He is an immense dog and is easily the size of a mobile home when lying down. He has incredible speed and can easily move from wall to wall in a blur like motion

Advantages: It's got a durable hide, it's large, powerful and scary. It is not affected by telepathic attacks of any sort. Cannot be blinded, rendered deaf or have any of it's sense hindered. On top of that it cannot be poisoned or killed by means such as that. The only method of killing it is with force.

Disadvantages: Although it's not neccesarily a real hound it can still be killed and anyone being digested at the time that is still alive can be released from it's stomach if Basker Vile is killed. It is also a large target so not that hard to miss if it is still. It is still victim to attacks targeted specifically for summons, It has some dificulty fighting smaller opponents that are fast.

Vlad then flips his coffin over his shoulder pointing one of the sides of the coffin at Mael hiding Vlad behind it. Bring it gorgeous!

Now now..that's no fun
*laughs*
Too bad all your dog's got are legs.
*lowers his blade and disappears in a blur of motion to directly under the hound stabbing upwards with extreme power*

Name: Swordplay
Technique: Brutal Rush
Stamina Required: -15 Intelligence, -19 Strength
HP Deduction: -11
Description: Runs at the opponent moving so quickly it seems like a blur of motion and runs them through with Gae Bolg partially severing the spinal cord to cause paralysis in the lower limbs.
Advantages: Halts the opponent's ability to use their legs unless healed. Very difficult to dodge because of the extreme speed in the technique
Disadvantages: Will not work if the opponent has a damage reducing shield up regardless of the amount of damage it takes away. Requires a mind lock on the opponent before usage.

As Basker Vile notices Mael coming he makes as much of a grin as a wolf is capable of completing, in a moment his legs become almost ghost like as he flips around in the air in a blur like motion driving his fangs towards Mael.

Then out of the blue Vlad appears sprawled out over Basker Viles airborn body with his gun pointed a mael no farther then 3 feet. Forgot to tell you! He doesn't function the same way a normal dog would! Vlad grins and fires a single shot at Mael from this short distance.

*tilts his blade to the side easily slicing through it as he's already holding it up*
Name: Swordplay
Technique: Parry
Stamina Required: -7 Intellingence, -9 Strength
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Moves with extreme speed dodging a single attack or in the case of a projectile (i.e. a bullet, fireball, gust of wind, etc) slices upward with his blade cutting the projectile in half causing it to go to either side of him.
Advantages: Allows for avoiding a single attack
Disadvantages: Does not work as well if there are several projectiles or if the projectile is slowly moving

*targets Vlad's gun*
Say bye for a while.

Name: Telekinesis
Technique: Teleshot
Stamina Required: -19 Intellingence, -11 Strength
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Holds his hand out and pulls a selected target to him telekinetically very quickly. Could be a weapon, or an object. Once it gets to his hand he can leave it at that, or put what is in his grip in a telekinetic bubble and throw it high in the air making the person/object unavailable and completely frozen for 10 posts. Can target up to two things if one of the objects is relatively small.
Advantages: Doesn't give enough time for the opponent to do anything in the time it takes for whatever it was to reach his hand. Can be used multiple times
Disadvantages: Only works on medium sized or small objects.

*freezes it in the air and stands, on the ready for an attack*

Vlad didn't even resist Mael snatching his gun as he sits there chuckling

-Aren't you forgetting something?

Vlad grins pointing at Basker Vile who had been ignored very sadly but got to bite into Mael's torso with his long razer like teeth.

-Can't pay too much attention to me!

Vlad grins launching himself into the air snatching his gun flipping over it as it was being maintained midair, and sat cross legged on top of it's little telekenetic bubble.

-I should really carry around a backup weapon or something =3

*winces a bit and smirks*
Just making sure it's not getting away..
*points at the hound's face and unloads a full six shots into the dog's face*
Name: Gae Bolg
Technique: Pyrokinesis II
Stamina Required: -12 Intelligence, -9 Strength
HP Deduction: -9 for each attack by the blade
Description: Using the trigger of the gunblade, Gae Bolg, the sword lights on fire when the trigger is pulled. Usually able to be shot out the end of the blade, or used to burn someone as well as slash them with the blade at the same time. Requiring more concentration, allows the Gae Bolg to be either fired twice or, lit twice to be slashed with. More unlikely to miss.
Advantages: Great against vampires being that it cuts them and burns them at the same time if it hits right.
Disadvantages: Must be increasingly precise with the timing for two if trying to use it while slashing being that the swift slash could put out the Less likely to cause as much damage with the burn usually does if fighting a more powerful being.

*looks up and watches as the gun snaps back inside its bubble*
*reloads*
Tsk tsk, no cheating.

*jumps up and slams a fist into Vlad's ribcage and delivers a swift kick to his jaw*

Name: Telekinesis and Hand to Hand
Technique: Shift Hit
Stamina Required: -3 Intellingence, -5 Strength
HP Deduction: -9
Description: As he delivers a physical hand to hand blow to any opponent, Mael adds a burst of telekinetic energy to increase the impact and damage of the blow.
Advantages: Requires very little energy and can be used in succession.
Disadvantages: Slows the speed of the hit by a fraction of a second.

Vlad raises his arms as Mael lunges towards him

-Well can ya blame me if you be takin' mah weapon?

Vlad smirks as he leans to the side falling over off of the telekenetic bubble as Mael swings his first barage of attacks, just before he falls though he grabs on to Mael's leg swings himself back upwards and does a sort of a kick flip swinging it up and hammering it down with a force that carries about 0.7 tons daily.

-Come now don't tell me that you think you can't fight me equally if I have a weapon!

Vlad grins swinging around his other leg to hammer Mael in the rib cage.

*smirks and takes the first hit as his eyes turn icy blue and his body lights to flame*
Name: Pure Ancient Rage
Technique: Ancient Rage persona
Stamina Required: -10 Intelligence, -7 Strength
HP Deduction: -0
Description: When pushed to the brink of his mellow, Mael gets very angry, signified by his eyes turning glowing icy blue and igniting flames all over his body. Halfway point is solid green and solid icy blue, only causing sparks from the finger tips. When in an extreme situation, can escape from battle by concentrating all of his energy into a single concentrated jump powered by the fire from his rage, shooting him off into the distance.
Advantages: Can fuel the rage needed to perform the light shield once more at full rage form. Can aid in a much needed escape from a dangerous situation.
Disadvantages: Causes a different personality to come out, a colder much more ruthless version of him. Causes a memory loss of sorts of almost all events leading up to his rage when he comes out of it. Doesn't usually know why he is where he is or why he blew up, only that he went into a rage.

*grabs his leg as it comes toward him to kick him*
Name: Hand-to-Hand
Technique: Counterstrike III
Stamina Required: 15 strength,
HP Deduction: 0 HP
Description: Counters a hand to hand combat move, like a punch or a kick by grabbing the leg/arm and crushing the bone of that limb using his vampiric strength before throwing them backwards a little ways away.
Advantages: Keeps the physical blow from landing and disables that same thing from happening again until the limb can be healed.
Disadvantages: Can only be used as a countermeasure, can't be used as a first strike. Can only be used four times per battle and still causes damage to Mael's hand even though significantly less damage than it would have.
*snaps his shin bone with a blow to the leg*
Let's help that shall we?
*throws him to the ground with surprising force*
Now..if you put all your eggs in one nest, you can't very well hope to do much when the nest is taken away hmm?

Vlad lands on the ground ever so gracefully crossing his arms looking up at Mael clearly not bothered by any sort of broken bone

-What're you talking about? You're friggin crazy man! Birds and eggs? Psh! I just like using the gun because it's very effective! Oh also you forgot about something! You remember my dog? He doesn't die from something as silly as a few bullet shots in the head... but you'd probably know that by now.

Vlad looks up at Mael grinning as a shadow blots out the sun behind him and a single snarl could be heard as Basker Vile dived down biting down on Mael.

Name: Telekinesis and Hand to Hand
Technique: Move
Stamina Required: -11 Intelligence, -5 Strength
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Stops a physical attack in its tracks by grabbing whatever his hitting him, if it is a sharp object, measures are taken in how he grabs it to make it not hurt him to do so. He then telekinetically shoves the opponent in a direction of his choosing to move them away.
Advantages: Counters an attack and keeps his distance. Can be used multiple times
Disadvantages: Begins to hurt him if used too many times, and cannot be used twice in a row for any reason.

I don't think so
*smiles and turns grabbing the hound on either side of it's gigantic head burning it with his touch and telekinetically blasting it into Vlad*
*jumps up and over Vlad and turning to pull the trigger blasting him out of the way with a single fire shot and pulling the trigger once more to light the blade to flame and slice the large hound cleanly in half as it flew towards him*
*turns to Vlad and whistles a command for Kenji to attack him*

Vlad jumps up before Mael has the chance to take a shot at him watching as Basker Vile is cut in half

-Tche... ya figured it out!

Vlad sighes, hands in his pocket he rose upwards through the air delivering an upwards kick into the phoenix's chin then swinging it back downwards smashing the birds head towards the ground at Mael. Vlad then turns his head to look at Mael wearing a rather toothy evil grin as he blurs out of site and his voice could be heard as if Vlad stood right behind him. Mael had ended up not more then a meter away from where Vlad had left his coffin standing. Vlad however could not be seen from Mael's angle.

-Black bullet parade!

In a split second over 4 dozen guns popped out of the surface of the coffin. and then as if on command all of them went into rapid fire firing about 6 sliver like bullets at Mael from the close range.

Name: The Coffin
Technique: Black Bullet Parade
Stamina Required: ~~ Strength, ~~ Intelligence
HP Deduction: ~~

Description: Vlad places his coffin standing right up with one face directed at his opponent. then after slipping his hand into the coffin innumberable guns materialise on the same side as the opponent firing 6 shots each. The rounds are not like vladimirs normal bullets there for do not invoke as much pain. The bullets are more like slivers of metal flying through the air.

Advantages: Ideal for piercing. and near impossible to repel if it is fired from right up front.

Disadvantages: It does not invoke mortal injuries as severe as his regular attack. Also, unlike his Coyote and his Coffin the guns can be broken and therefor this attack removed for a battle. (If someone smashes the guns...) Also it can be blocked with relative ease if the user fires it from a long distance.

*takes the hits and breathes in deeply, barely wincing but blood showing from underneath his shirt in various places*
*slices the guns cleanly in half with Gae Bolg*
Well we won't have to worry about that again.
*looks as Kenji gets slowly up and takes to the sky again*
Gotta love phoenixes..
*closes his eyes as he sees the thought signature emanating from Vlad's mind and focuses on it*
Name: Mind Targeting
Technique: Sure strike
Stamina Required: -11 Intelligence
HP Deduction: -0
Description: Using advanced telepathy, locks on to the mind of the person he is battling or in a conflict with and locks onto them by their unique mind signature, almost guaranteeing a sure strike on the next hit.
Advantages: Can be used up to three times a day and elmost ensures that the next strike doesn't miss.
Disadvantages: Requires closing of eyes momentarily and once all three times are used up, doesn't work again for a full 24 hours from the final use of it. Also doesn't allow for any other techniques to be in effect while locking on.

*rushes at Vlad with a great amount of speed and unleashes Lionheart*

Name: Swordkinesis and Phoenix
Technique: Lionheart
Stamina Required: 35 strength, 5 intelligence
HP Deduction: 30 HP
Description: Tells his phoenix to attack with him and holds his blade up in front of him. Runs at the target and slashes them with his blade about 20 times regularly and then pulls the trigger causing the blade to light and knocking the opponent in the air, begins to slash them up to 20 more times with the phoenix attacking them in between swings up to ten times before slashing them once more with a powerful downward swing plummeting them to the ground causing massive damage.
Advantages: Causes a ton of damage and isn't reliant on the ancient form.
Disadvantages: Drains a TON of energy and stamina from Mael causing him to attack at half strength the rest of the battle. Needs the phoenix to perform and can only be used once a day. [Be sure to cut current strength in half after use]

*finishes the technique and lands on the ground*
(Sorry I couldn't give you time to respond, I'm sending him away tonight, and it was all but unavoidable with the mind lock anyway. We shall spar again sometime when I get back.)
*tosses a small bottle to him*
That ought to speed up your regeneration process, I know the blade hurts you quite a bit being that it's enchanted to be particularly effective against ancient vampires..
Until we next meet, take care.
*walks out of the alleyway picking up his coat on the way out and petting Kenji before sending him away*

*wags his tail chasing a rat down the alleyway in his wolf from*

*looks around*
Great. . . .an alleyway. . .

*catches Eiko scent and looks up to her forgetting the rat*
*bounds over to her and tackles her*
